  Speaker 1: crazy people out there making the crazy statements I could
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: play for you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Representative Acasia Cortes on Stephen Miller.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I can h share with you as I did Chris
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Hayes flat out lying, misrepresenting the story of what took
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: place in Minneapolis. In all of these stories that I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: could share with you, there is a theme.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: There is a connection point.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Which is not a bug but a feature of the progressivism.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I make no quarrels if people are new to the show, Hey,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Tony Kats, how are you you look great today? I'm
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a conservative and I apologize for nothing. I make my
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: arguments here. I bring data. I explain why I believe
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: what I believe, and people can agree and disagree, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: there it's at. But I am not a progressive and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I have no interest in progressivism because they are not
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: rooted in reason.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: There is nothing logical happening here. You often hear me
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: use words like rational.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And it's it's you know, it's it becomes one of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: these things of how many times can he say it
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in a show.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's like kitten or booboo or sugar smack. I've never
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: said sugar smack before. But that's not coming.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Reason matters, rationality matters. And so I was thrilled to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: be going through. Posts were coming up on Twitter X
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and I caught Melanie Phillips on the Triggeronometry podcast.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: No, No, she wasn't on trigonometry, sorry it was.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: It was a different podcast she was doing about the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: very concepts of reason.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Now I know.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Of Melanie Phillips, I don't consider myself of Melanie Phillips,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: expert journalist and an author. She writes The Times of London.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: She has a book called Londonistan. This came out in
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: two thousand and six about the British establishment's capitulation to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Islamist aggression. So you can imagine that some people like
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: her and don't like her just for that. But I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: want to share this with you. This is Melanie Phillips
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: talking about being in the age of Unreason. Now it's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a long clip, but it's worthy of the time, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: so I bring it to you right now. Are we
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in the age of unreason? Now? I've listened to this
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: quite a few times, Producer Carl, but you can have
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: your fringer on the dumb button in case I missed
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a little something there. I don't think I did. This
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: is her talking to a guy by the name of
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: John Anderson.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Truth has become a right wing concept. You cannot say
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: it because if you say it, you are considered right wing.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: And to be right wing is to be in league
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: with the forces of evil. It is a Manichean division
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: between ideologies of one kind or another and those who
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: don't subscribe to those ideologies. And the ideologies brook no
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: dissent because they represent in the minds of people who
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: promote them, present goodness, brotherhood of man, progress, reason, education,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and anyone who opposes them is against all good things.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: So they are not just wrong, they're not people to
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: be argued with. They're people to be removed and silenced
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: because otherwise you're against all good things.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Every single one of you have encountered this in your life,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: on your social media feeds. People who do this they
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: know best. You don't know anything, you don't believe in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: anything good. You're the enemy because of any level of disagreement.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And when reason gets brought into the picture, well, that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in and of itself is a problem, as we've discussed
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: it here, because reason requires thought and if people think,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: maybe they'll question their own ideas, and since their ideas
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: are their religion, it cannot be questioned.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And Melanie Phillips describes this.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: So it's that division between.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Good and evil.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: And unfortunately, you know, if you stand up against an
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: ideology like I don't know, so called anti racism, which
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: basically says all white people are bad, or critical theory,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: or you stand up and say a woman is defined
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: by her biology, who are against transgender so as you know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: there's no discussion, you are canceled you are removed. You
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: have to be silenced. This dissent cannot be permitted. So
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: we're in what a thinker of a previous age called
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: cultural totalitarianism. No alternative is to be permitted. Now, first
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: of all, that is an assault on individual freedom, freedom
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: of expression, and freedom.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But as we know, the progressive doesn't believe in individual freedom.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Did or did not Zoronmumdanni, the new mayor of New
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: York say, and here's inaugural speech. We will remove the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: frigidity of individual rugged individualism and replace it with the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: warmth of collectivism.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Melanie Phillips tells no lies here.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: But it's also a complete repudiation of reason. Because if
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: you say there is nothing that you can say that
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: can dissent from my ideology, and you say you're bringing
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: evidence to oppose me, well that cannot be the case.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: If you're denying evidence and reality and thinking and engagement
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: with an idea, then you're denying reason itself. And so
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the irony is that at an age of supposed reason,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: we're so rational that we've dispensed with religion. Only idiots
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: have any kind of religious sense because it's not based
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: on reason. That's the thinking. So we're so rational, we've
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: got rid of religion, and yet we are repudiating rationality completely.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: This is something that doesn't quite add up.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: So I would say.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: That we are in a new age of unreason.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: That's what we're in.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: An age of unreason. That's what we've unleashed. And it's
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: an irony because we've done it under the aegies of
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: being rational. But in getting rid of religion, we have
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: unleashed an age of unreason. And what follows from that
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: is the erosion of freedom, freedom to think, freedom to speak,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: freedom to act, and a complete confusion about where the
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: limits should be drawn between what I want and what
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: others need.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: She's discussing the fact that Marxism has succeeded on many levels.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: That's what she's discussing. She is right, it's nothing that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: we haven't discussed here. But sometimes it's good to hear
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it from another voice, and usually better to hear it
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: in a British accent. They're terrible with their policies, but
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: my gosh, they say it so beautifully.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: It is an age of unreason. I swear to you.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: That's why we're here to try and bring some reason
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: All
