Summary
In this episode, I sit down with conservative writer and pundit Oren McIntyre to discuss a question that has been on everyone s mind lately: why does the left want to have sex with little kids? Is it because they re perverts, or because they want to do it in public schools?

Of all of the perplexing questions in politics, and there are a lot of them,
00:00:41.500
sometimes the libs do things that we don't expect them to do.
00:00:48.060
Politics seems to get more and more confusing each day.
00:00:50.660
But the one issue that I know a lot of us are scratching our heads on is,
00:00:55.660
why are the libs spending so much time and money trying to push weird sex stuff on little kids?
1.00
00:01:08.120
They're pushing pornography in elementary school libraries.
00:01:12.040
They're pushing all sorts of creepy, weird sex stuff with kids.
00:01:15.660
And people come up with all of these deep, profound, esoteric answers.
00:01:20.600
There's one man who's given an answer that went completely viral.
00:01:27.320
He's a columnist, recovering journalist, YouTuber.
00:01:29.780
And he said, hey guys, it's not that complicated.
00:01:33.080
They're just perverts and they want to diddle kids.
1.00
00:01:40.660
Before we get into your answer on that question,
00:01:50.180
You don't really expect it to kind of do what it did.
00:01:52.360
But I think it's because it kind of spoke to a truth that a lot of us felt,
00:01:58.520
It wasn't really couched in a lot of academic language.
00:02:06.080
But it broke through a lot of those kind of different layers of abstraction
00:02:11.420
And people are so kind of hesitant to do that today that I think it just kind of spoke to
00:02:18.620
I think that tweet might have been the first time I was introduced to you and your work.
00:02:24.360
He's really, really cutting through all the, as you say, the jargon and all of that nonsense.
00:02:28.800
And one thing that I have really enjoyed from your writing that I've tried to do myself is
00:02:34.900
you don't only take pot shots at the libs.
1.00
00:02:38.000
You reserve a lot of your ire for conservatives and squishes and all that sort of thing
0.58
00:02:43.160
who in many ways seem to be nothing more than the court jesters in the kingdom of liberalism.
00:02:49.580
That our political problems maybe run a little bit deeper than just Republican versus Democrat.
00:02:55.380
Yeah, when we look at what's going on, it's really easy to get trapped into the frame that's
00:03:01.440
handed to us by the media and even our conservative media, right?
00:03:05.580
And so when we look at that, it's very easy to focus on the day-to-day issues and policy decisions
00:03:11.100
and not ask questions about the wider political scenario.
00:03:17.820
Why are we so invested in these particular political battle lines?
00:03:21.460
Were there any other points in history where right and left looked different?
00:03:25.720
What are kind of the core things that something like, say, conservatism is actually conserving?
00:03:30.020
Because if we look at it, it doesn't seem like very much.
00:03:33.520
And so kind of as we look a little below the surface, I think that that's kind of where
00:03:37.660
some of my stuff breaks through is we can get outside of that mainstream frame and maybe
00:03:43.260
explore some of those areas and ask, are these opinions something that are organic,
00:03:47.600
that makes sense with our worldview, our religion, our morality, or is it something that's been
00:03:54.080
handed to us and we're defending because we've been told that's the team we're on?
00:03:57.720
And I think that's something that makes a big difference.
00:03:59.820
And then when someone hands you the framework that you're supposed to play in, very often
00:04:04.220
you end up in a situation where it's heads, I win, tails, you lose.
00:04:07.660
And there's really no way that you can have a victory.
00:04:10.620
Even these terms left and right, they refer to the French Revolution.
00:04:16.900
And so maybe there's more in our political order.
00:04:19.600
And I guess Donald Trump really brought a lot of this to the surface in 2016, where all
00:04:25.720
of a sudden you had a lot of people who had said they were Republicans.
00:04:28.520
I mean, the Bush family, for goodness sakes, lining up against the Republican nominee at
00:04:34.620
It was only Bob Dole, was the only living Republican nominee for president who actually showed up
00:04:41.340
And you had a lot of conservatives saying, no, I hate Trump on tariffs.
00:04:50.000
If this is what it means to be a Republican, if this is what it means to be a conservative,
00:04:54.800
And there's been a whole lot of soul searching that's gone on.
00:05:00.760
So I guess then I just ask you, as we're all trying to figure this out, what should conservatives
00:05:07.640
Well, and that's a really difficult question, because I think that requires conservatives
00:05:12.740
to look at kind of the core of their ideology that they've been invested in defending for
00:05:18.560
The core of American conservatism is largely classical liberalism.
00:05:23.220
And classical liberalism on boards a lot of assumptions that kind of lead it to lose against
00:05:29.840
the more radical versions of liberalism that are now kind of in vogue in kind of our ruling
00:05:36.740
And so because conservatives are always in a mindset of, say, for instance, small government
00:05:42.080
at any cost, they tie their own hands when it comes to implementing agendas that will
00:05:48.760
benefit the family, benefit religious conservatives, benefit other people who are part of their
00:05:55.120
And so that's something that conservatives really need to do some soul searching on.
00:05:59.440
You know, Patrick Dedean has a book called Why Liberalism Failed.
00:06:02.020
And for those who haven't read it and are kind of interested in it, I think it's a really
00:06:05.380
good place to start, because Patrick Dedean explains that liberalism has been cracked and
00:06:12.520
The Democrats got the social version of liberalism, and the Republicans got the economic version
00:06:18.860
And you'll notice that whenever the Republicans are in power, the only thing that gets passed
00:06:23.000
And when the left is in power, for some reason, none of that redistributive justice or those
00:06:30.060
It's all the crazy social stuff that gets pushed.
00:06:32.360
It's always these versions, these halves of liberalism that are always being pushed forward.
00:06:36.780
And so that's why you end up in that game like you were talking about, heads I win, tails
00:06:40.920
So I guess one of the assumptions that both the left and the right tend to focus on and begin
00:06:46.980
with in America, at least these days, is that the basic unit of society is the individual.
00:06:53.860
And you see it play out just as you're describing.
00:06:56.020
The individual gets to shtup pretty much whoever he wants to and gets to engage in whatever personal
00:07:03.020
And for the conservatives, they say, well, the individual should be able to keep all of
00:07:07.740
his own money and make all of his own choices about his personal life.
00:07:12.120
You can do whatever you want, just don't make me pay for it sort of thing.
00:07:15.280
And when I look at that assumption, I say, wait a second, this isn't, that's not conservative
00:07:23.780
Edmund Burke, you know, one of the, considered one of the founders of modern conservative
00:07:27.200
philosophy, and many of the founding fathers for that matter, would be rolling in their
00:07:31.660
Because it seems to me that the basic unit of society is the family.
00:07:35.840
You remember when conservatives used to talk about the family?
00:07:38.380
Now we haven't conserved the definition of the family.
00:07:41.000
And we're using all the same kind of individualist language that the libs use.
00:07:44.400
How do we get back to a kind of family-oriented, I don't know, traditional sort of political
00:07:56.880
It always wants to take away power from the periphery and centralize it under its control.
00:08:02.840
And so what's been very powerful for government has been the narrative of the individual.
00:08:08.040
Because what that has done is allowed it to liberate people from what used to be these
00:08:15.660
We used to all be part of families and churches and civic organizations and guilds and unions
00:08:22.440
and different things that demanded our loyalty and our money and our time.
00:08:26.540
But over the years, those different intermediate organizations have dissolved themselves.
00:08:32.440
Those bonds that used to bring communities together and hold them together without the
00:08:37.380
interference of the government have been removed.
00:08:40.480
And in their place, the government has stepped in as kind of a weak counterpart, right?
00:08:46.240
But it's also part of so many other things that the government has involved itself in.
00:08:50.260
It always comes with a promise of liberation for the individual, right?
00:08:54.280
Why do we have to involve the government here to guarantee your right to something else, right?
00:09:00.780
And so by dissolving those bonds, the government has been able to take on more and more centralized
00:09:05.720
power, sometimes under the idea of collectivism, sometimes under the idea of individualism.
00:09:11.340
But it's always in the service of breaking down those institutions that were competing
00:09:16.020
with the government and centralizing the power back with the state.
00:09:20.620
I sometimes think if Karl Marx were alive today, mercifully, he is not.
00:09:24.800
He's looking up at us right now and watching us conduct this interview.
00:09:28.500
But if Marx were alive today, I sort of think he wouldn't be a Democrat.
00:09:32.700
I think he would be in the Tea Party or something.
00:09:35.420
I think he would probably describe himself as a radical individualist.
00:09:39.660
I mean, when you talk to radicals on the left, they very frequently use the language of
00:09:44.300
individualism in much the same way as you might hear someone on the American right use that
00:09:58.380
Well, you can only bring the big bundle of sticks together when the sticks have been broken
00:10:02.460
out of all those associations, the family, the community, the churches.
00:10:06.660
Once they've been broken out of all of those structures and then they're just alone as individuals,
00:10:10.360
then you bind them up together in the collective of the state or you see it on the left in communism.
00:10:17.540
So it seems to be one of those two sides of the same coin kind of issue that the opposite
00:10:27.360
Those two actually kind of seem to help each other.
00:10:29.640
It's the family and the churches and all those intermediate institutions.
00:10:33.960
So the word you use there at the very top is an important one.
00:10:36.980
You said power, that power is kind of flowing between these institutions.
00:10:43.660
That's a naughty word for a lot of American conservatives.
00:10:49.440
We want to say, look, you just take the power back.
00:10:59.300
A lot of, you know, one of the ideas of conservatism, because it's taken this libertarian
00:11:03.480
bent, is the idea that they can take this power, right?
00:11:06.180
They can take the ring of power and they can throw it into Mount Doom.
00:11:09.360
You can destroy the power and then no one has to deal with its consequences.
00:11:19.260
It can simply just be handed from one to another.
00:11:25.640
And so American conservatives, we like to believe that the constitution allows us to
00:11:31.440
basically avoid being ruled because the constitution is this delicate balance of, you know, checks
00:11:37.060
and balances and separation of powers, Montesquieu and all this stuff allows us to basically
00:11:47.460
And so because we're under the rule of law, we don't have to worry about kind of the people
00:11:50.820
who are in control of our system because we don't actually serve them.
00:11:57.400
And this kind of objective system operates in the background and make sure that everything
00:12:02.900
But as we're seeing very often today, it's becoming increasingly clear.
00:12:06.880
No one is ever actually governed just by a system.
00:12:11.440
Laws are really powerless to constrain the actions of an organized minority of people who want
00:12:17.780
to subvert them as long as those people are operating in the correct institutions and
00:12:22.840
positions of power inside the American government.
00:12:26.240
I think that we're seeing maybe even the left see that a little bit with the Supreme Court
00:12:31.860
You see them suddenly losing their minds because they have to deal with the same kind of phenomenon
00:12:37.260
that American conservatives have dealt with for many, many decades, that a small minority
00:12:42.620
can basically change on a dime what has been kind of the reality inside the United States.
00:12:48.900
And so conservatives have to be more comfortable with the idea of power and the use of it because
00:12:55.820
if they're not, I have another tweet that kind of goes around, the team that wants to
00:13:00.800
win always beats the people who just want to be left alone, right?
00:13:07.560
They just want to go out and enjoy Fourth of July.
00:13:15.500
They don't have time to become professional activists and scream at the heavens every time
00:13:27.700
And you can never live in this kind of fantasy where the government is just going to leave
00:13:35.780
Every generation has to care about the values that are being inculcated and the things that
00:13:43.360
are then being passed into law and carried forward.
00:13:46.340
You don't just get to kind of put the government on autopilot and let it protect your rights once
00:13:53.220
Unfortunately, we never escape the rule of men and we have to then generate good leaders
00:13:58.500
and put them in positions that will defend our values and our families.
00:14:02.780
We can't just hand it over to the Constitution and hope that it does the job all by itself.
00:14:07.220
But we are at this dispositional disadvantage here that you've totally hit on correctly,
00:14:13.060
which is as conservatives, you'll sometimes see these social scientific surveys go around.
00:14:17.480
They say conservatives are hotter than leftists or something like that.
00:14:23.020
And whenever I see those, I always think, yeah, duh, we're pretty content with the way things
00:14:33.780
We're not, we don't dye our hair crazy colors and put in all sorts of mutilations and go
00:14:38.340
screaming and shrieking in front of government buildings all the time.
00:14:43.880
We conservatives, we just, we took the grill pill, man.
00:14:47.100
We just want to stay and grill and spend time with our nice families, often in the suburbs.
00:14:56.640
And even I think, man, can't I just go home and grill up my delicious good rancher's steak
00:15:01.120
and, you know, have a nice drink and have a good life?
00:15:04.280
Conservatives naturally don't want to, don't feel the same burning fire to go out and wield
00:15:11.960
And so that, that is a dispositional issue, but you're so right.
00:15:15.640
It's not, we are not simply governed by letters on a page of a statute.
00:15:22.720
It's against federal law to protest in front of a judge's house to influence a case.
00:15:26.920
It went on for weeks after the leak from the Dobbs decision.
00:15:34.480
Even though you had a Republican governor in Virginia, presumably you had a federal law
00:15:39.640
enforcement that is supposed to enforce these laws and they just, they just don't do it.
00:15:44.120
You, you saw the, the double standards during the, the vying insurrections of 2020 and 2021.
00:15:50.360
You had BLM burn the country down for eight months.
00:15:55.380
In some cases people were arrested and, and the current vice president, the now vice president
00:16:03.280
Meanwhile, Hornhat guy busts into the Capitol and cracks a Coors Light and they throw those
0.83
00:16:08.840
people into solitary confinement and they practically throw away the key.
00:16:13.160
So the law is not going to enforce itself, certainly not going to enforce itself in a neutral
00:16:25.700
And that's really the, the million dollar question, right?
00:16:29.500
Because what we're seeing so often is the impotence of elected leaders, even somebody who might
00:16:36.040
be more dedicated like Trump, look at like a, a executive order, Trump issues versus an
00:16:42.520
executive order that Obama or Biden issues and the effectiveness of those orders.
00:16:47.120
Trump issues an executive order and his own generals, his own executive branch, they just
00:16:54.000
They just completely move forward with whatever they're doing and they just hide it from the
00:17:01.160
Barack Obama issues the executive order about genders and bathrooms.
00:17:04.860
And all of a sudden, every organization in the country jumps to attention and follows it as
00:17:14.160
Including private organizations, not just government organizations, the whole kit and
00:17:18.400
And so you have to ask yourself as an American conservative who believes in the constitution
00:17:24.000
Both of these men had the same elective office.
00:17:26.420
Both of these men operated under the same rules.
00:17:29.240
Both of these men use the same instrument, but they have decidedly different impacts and
00:17:37.080
That's the key question that you need to understand.
00:17:39.740
And once you understand it, you better grasp where the power sits.
00:17:43.420
What you start to realize is not all of our power is simply in the branches as explained
00:17:50.880
It exists in things like our educational institutions.
00:17:53.580
It exists in things like non-government organizations.
00:17:56.040
It exists in things like the permanent bureaucracy that people call the deep state.
00:18:00.240
Far more power resides in those institutions than resides in any one particular man who's
00:18:08.180
And so while conservatives love to win elections and love to think that one elected official
00:18:13.440
will step in and change those things, they need to understand that the rot is far deeper.
00:18:19.400
It sits well into things like the FBI, things like our university system.
00:18:23.960
And those are things that, if you're going to change things, have to fundamentally be rearranged,
00:18:30.580
possibly dismantled and rebuilt if you're going to see real change.
00:18:33.960
You can't simply just stick someone into an elected office, say, oh, throw out all the
00:18:38.100
bums and we'll get them in the next election.
1.00
00:18:42.560
Because when a Republican is president, even a conservative Republican, even a conservative
00:18:46.700
Republican with his head pretty much screwed on straight, it is just a different thing
00:18:53.920
I sometimes think of this when it comes to the media, because when I see anonymous reports
00:18:59.320
in NBC or the New York Times, Washington Post about a Republican president, I usually dismiss
00:19:06.860
When I see anonymous sourcing in a report in NBC and New York Times and Washington Post about
00:19:12.340
a Democrat president, I'm not so quick to dismiss them.
00:19:16.520
Is this because I'm a hypocrite and I just want to believe whatever is good for my side
00:19:24.540
The reason, at least the way that I think about it, is that they're different things.
00:19:31.040
When the left-wing media is going after the right-wing president, that is to be expected.
00:19:36.960
When the left-wing media are going after the left-wing president, that's a totally different
00:19:47.520
And so, even though it looks like it's the same thing, because the people are different,
00:19:52.000
because the movements inside of those power structures are different, the way to understand
00:19:58.340
Yeah, there's this guy, Antonio Gramsci, and he was a Marxist, and he wanted a revolution
00:20:04.200
like the one that he had seen in Russia, but he couldn't get it going.
00:20:08.160
He ended up writing a lot in a prison in Italy.
00:20:11.060
I always say this was Mussolini's worst thing that Mussolini ever did.
00:20:14.040
Maybe not the worst thing, but it was up there.
00:20:16.040
He put that man in prison, and not because he didn't deserve it, but then it focused
00:20:20.840
Gramsci's mind, and all of the guy's contributions to philosophy come out of him sitting in prison.
00:20:27.380
So you're familiar with the fact that basically Gramsci said, we're not going to get a communist
00:20:31.520
revolution in kind of these Western countries the way we got it in Russia, because they're
00:20:36.900
You can't create this deep class divide the way you can in these other countries and kind
00:20:44.300
So what we need is this cultural hegemony, right?
00:20:48.600
Most people have probably heard the long march through the institutions, right?
00:20:52.340
And that's what's going to gain you power in the West.
00:20:55.740
The fault line is not going to be this class divide of rich versus poor directly, though
00:21:02.280
it ends up spilling out in that way in other permutations.
00:21:06.760
But it's going to be along things like race and gender and these other aspects of society
00:21:12.460
that allow them to create kind of these fulcrums, right?
00:21:16.320
There are a lot of people who are willing to sign up for a revolution that's going to
00:21:19.680
put their ideas first, their priorities first, and subvert kind of the way that your society
00:21:29.400
And so it is by grasping hold of these different institutions that these kind of ideologies
00:21:36.760
And a lot of what we're seeing has been sitting around for a very long time.
00:21:40.420
A lot of people, especially kind of these IDW, you know, classical liberal type folks, love
00:21:45.980
to think that wokeness is just some kind of descendant, it's a, you know, progressive
00:21:50.080
them just went a little too far, it went off the rails.
00:21:52.560
And if we can just dial things back 10 years, if we can roll liberalism back to the last
00:21:59.320
What they don't realize is that wokeness is in many ways like a direct descendant of things
00:22:05.200
And so this ideology has been built into our system for a very long time.
00:22:10.420
And its implications are simply being felt full force many, many decades after it's
00:22:15.960
been deeply seeded through pretty much every aspect of our society.
00:22:20.240
You're seeing some conversation about that now.
00:22:23.020
I'm reminded of Chris Caldwell's book, Age of Entitlement, came out a few years ago.
00:22:26.640
So you're starting to see a little bit of this discussion of, huh, maybe wokeness isn't
00:22:35.840
So, okay, we've talked about Gramsci, we've talked about cultural hegemony, we've talked
00:22:39.700
about all of these things that are very important from a 30,000 foot view.
00:22:43.580
Now, for people who are listening, before I let you go, people who are listening right
00:22:47.040
now, they're saying, what do I do in the year of our Lord, 2022?
00:22:51.960
There's going to be a presidential election in 2024.
00:22:56.620
What tangibly would you encourage conservatives to do?
00:22:59.880
Yeah, again, this is a really difficult question.
00:23:01.900
First and foremost, because your audience may not like me for this, but I'm not a big fan
00:23:09.360
And what we have is a fundamentally democratic problem.
00:23:11.980
One of the issues that conservatives have is they buy into this myth of kind of like
00:23:18.600
That if you get enough people together, because we see the left do this, right?
00:23:21.920
They get a bunch of protesters together, they stand outside stuff, they chant, they yell,
00:23:27.080
And we think to ourselves, that's how things get done, right?
00:23:31.200
But as we talked about, we see a very different reaction from when a leftist mob shows up to
00:23:36.520
And then when some right wing protesters showed up, right?
00:23:39.060
Left wing mobs, they have the the sanction of the state, they have the sanction of the
00:23:45.140
They have the vice president bailing them out of jail, right wing people show up and they
00:23:49.640
sit in basically black sites, you know, getting, you know, getting denied food and sleep for
00:23:55.800
So we do not sit in kind of this even play field where the left can, you know, and the
00:24:02.140
right both can use this popular will to drive things.
00:24:04.800
Whether we like it or not, society is always ruled by an organized minority, right?
0.98
00:24:10.600
It is actually our elites that dictate in large ways what happens in our country.
00:24:16.160
They always need a connection to kind of the popular consciousness and the zeitgeist and the
00:24:21.300
But we need to start understanding and focusing on the fact that we need a better class of
00:24:27.300
We need a class of leaders that is willing to step out there, defend the things that we
00:24:31.560
want them to defend, fight for the things we need them to fight for and have our well-being
00:24:36.200
in mind, not the well-being of other nations or of their own personal patronage, you know,
00:24:45.720
And to be fair, all elites are going to do that.
00:24:47.720
That's another thing that kind of conservatives need to understand is what we want.
00:24:57.020
What we want are elites that are aligned with our interests, whose well-being is tied to the
00:25:01.700
well-being of the average American worker and the average American family, not to some
00:25:06.900
multinational corporation or some giant NGO somewhere or some super PAC, right?
00:25:12.360
And so in a lot of ways, I think looking at people like Ron DeSantis, right?
00:25:17.980
A lot of people want Ron DeSantis to run for president.
00:25:21.560
But I think that's a mistake because what he is doing is setting up a kind of test run
00:25:31.820
So you're saying you would rather DeSantis stay in Florida and keep building up that power
00:25:36.460
I would take 10 more DeSantis as governors before I would take one DeSantis as president
00:25:43.100
because I think that 10 more DeSantis would have a far larger impact on their individual
00:25:48.840
states and regions and their ability to change the values and the structures and the power
00:25:54.120
bases and the things that exist there and also give us a model for how these regional,
00:25:59.260
how federalism was actually supposed to work, right?
00:26:01.460
The idea that the government shouldn't be able to push down vaccine mandates and mask
00:26:06.420
mandates and educational mandates on every single inch of the United States.
00:26:11.560
That's not how our system is supposed to operate.
00:26:14.460
And if we had more people who were conscious of that and willing to step out beyond kind of
00:26:19.480
this federal prison that most of these regional powers have been placed in, I think that would
0.86
00:26:25.860
I think conservatives have a much better chance of changing things on that level.
00:26:29.280
That doesn't mean that things don't need to happen at the national level, but if you're
00:26:32.740
hoping to just like shove DeSantis or Trump into the White House in 2024 and that will
0.66
00:26:38.220
just fundamentally change the direction America is going in, I don't think you've been paying
00:26:41.880
attention to what's been happening in America in the last few decades.
00:26:46.720
And, you know, you say somewhat provocatively that you're distrustful of democracy.
00:26:50.680
Worth remembering that the founding fathers themselves had a pretty healthy skepticism of mob
00:26:55.920
rule and democracy. And, you know, they constructed a system that has since decayed and been
00:27:02.260
perverted. And there have been all sorts of problems over the ensuing centuries. But they
00:27:06.380
created a system that was in large part designed to rein in the popular passions. And but but to your
00:27:13.980
point, power has moved around in in ways that have have really not been to the benefit of the
00:27:20.800
country. And it's going to take a lot more than one presidential election to fix that.
0.99
00:27:25.400
I really I really love your point, though, on we've got this governor is the most powerful
00:27:28.900
governor, most effective governor I've seen. So I certainly that I see around the country
00:27:33.140
today. What if we what if we stopped playing the game that the libs are handing us? What if we
00:27:38.060
start saying, well, what if we build up more of those kinds of power centers? What if the rules
00:27:41.940
aren't if the rules of the game aren't working for us? What if we change the rules?
00:27:45.440
Really great point. Orin, where can people find you?
00:27:47.200
Oh, absolutely. I've got a YouTube channel. I've got a sub stack where I put out different
00:27:53.620
articles and and podcasts and things. So if people want to find me there, you can just look
00:27:58.920
for Orin McIntyre. I've got a Twitter, which is where most people know me from. And there's
00:28:03.500
a link tree there that can just bring people to where all my work is on all the different
00:28:07.280
sites and that kind of thing. Excellent. Orin, thank you for coming on the show. I appreciate
00:28:10.940
it. Absolutely. Thank you so much for having me. I really enjoyed it.
