The NXR Podcast

00:00:00.000 America will either have Christ or it will have chaos.

00:00:05.660 For years, conservatives believed that Trump could reverse America's decline.

00:00:10.440 But after Trump, the right is now fractured, exhausted, and losing ground.

00:00:16.520 Endless infighting and electoral losses have exposed a deeper problem that politics alone cannot solve.

00:00:24.680 A nation that rejects Christ cannot be restored by mere personalities, grandstanding, or Christless

00:00:33.380 conservatism. So NXR Studio's first annual conference, America After Trump, brings together

00:00:41.180 pastors, politicians, commentators, and Christians that are committed to strength, cooperation,

00:00:48.100 and a durable future for the American right.

00:00:52.080 Complaining is not a strategy

00:00:53.960 and despair cannot be an option.

00:00:57.480 Christ is King.

00:00:58.880 Let's live like it.

00:01:16.600 Today on American Grit,

00:01:17.640 I unpack the pre-war consensus,

00:01:20.160 the foundational convictions of old America

00:01:22.040 that stood in sharp contrast

00:01:23.360 to the chaos that we have today.

00:01:25.520 In my weekly audit,

00:01:26.280 I'll be discussing ethno-nationalism,

00:01:28.160 the term of gyno-fascism, 0.99

00:01:30.080 and a video demonstrating why women shouldn't vote. 0.98

00:01:33.080 All that and more coming up right now. 0.99

00:01:47.640 Well, welcome to American Grit. This is season one on American Identity. I'm your host, Dale

00:01:54.820 Partridge. This episode is titled The Pre-War Consensus and the Glory of Old America. Now,

00:02:03.320 each season, I'm going to be covering a variety of topics within one theme. Now, in the last

00:02:09.240 episode, if you haven't seen it yet, you should go back and check it out. I offered a biblical

00:02:13.100 defense for Christian colonization and the recolonization of the West. Now, this is part 1.00

00:02:19.640 one of a two-part series that will give you a clear historical framework for how America has

00:02:25.940 arrived at its current state. So in this episode, we're going to do part one. In the next episode,

00:02:31.360 we're going to examine the post-war consensus, which is the cultural and political convictions

00:02:35.360 that essentially reshaped America after 1945. Now, as I say it often, a nation digs its grave

00:02:41.980 with the shovel of forgetfulness. So today, we're going to be going back to the pre-war era,

00:02:47.820 the older, stronger, and unapologetic American vision that built a nation of glory and order.

00:02:54.360 So let's begin. I want you to think of a body with a strong immune system. Sometimes it overreacts,

00:03:03.620 it causes fevers, inflammation, hives, discomfort. People begin to think, you know,

00:03:09.000 the immune system's the problem, right? The system itself is essentially too aggressive.

00:03:15.080 So what do they do, right? You know, in the autoimmune world, right? They suppress it,

00:03:18.560 right? They quiet it down. They tone it back. They make it less forceful. Now, no more fevers,

00:03:25.080 no more hives, no more, you know, feeling inflammation. Everything feels calm. Everything

00:03:29.560 feels manageable and even peaceful. But then sickness comes. And I'm not talking about a

00:03:36.320 little bit of sickness. I'm talking real sickness. And now there's nothing left to fight the sickness.

00:03:43.260 And what was once causing discomfort was actually protection. And in removing kind of the struggle

00:03:49.220 of aggression of an overactive immune system, they removed the strength of the preservation.

00:03:56.040 And that's really the story of what's happening in the pre-war consensus and the post-war

00:04:00.140 consensus. Before World War I, nations had conflicts. Wars existed. Pride was real. Dictators

00:04:08.100 rose up. There was even a little bit of real racism. But the structure of the nations were

00:04:14.920 generally stable. Countries knew who they were. Borders actually meant something. Their people

00:04:19.960 had identity and continuity and rootedness. Now, in trying to eliminate the dangers of the old 1.00

00:04:26.200 world, we have created something far more fragile, and I would say far more dangerous.

00:04:31.840 Now, before, there was the risk of nations becoming militant and dogmatic, but now there's

00:04:37.220 a reality of nations being extremely weak and overtaken by parasitic people. So before,

00:04:42.840 wars were fought between nations, and now wars are fought within nations. And before,

00:04:48.100 men struggled with pride and being potentially evil. Now, they struggle with not even knowing

00:04:54.200 who they are. See, the old world, with all of its flaws, was not chaotic. It was ordered in a way

00:05:02.000 that our current world is not. It was a world with walls, not to imprison people, but to preserve

00:05:08.640 people. And before we can understand where we are now in the post-war consensus, we have to

00:05:15.240 understand what we tore down in the pre-war consensus. So today, we're going to be discussing

00:05:20.320 that pre-war consensus. Now, prior to World War I, the nations operated on what we called

00:05:25.980 maybe a closed system. Now, nations are really the broadest expression of a family. And like a

00:05:33.620 family, people knew who they were and who was in and who was out. They knew what they valued and

00:05:41.520 what they hated. And this was just kind of the natural order of human history, which was again,

00:05:46.320 rooted in scripture and aligned with the, you know, maybe Augustinian idea of the order of

00:05:51.520 Morris. And so the pre-war world was not really afraid of reality, right? It was, it was not afraid

00:05:57.960 of distinctions and hierarchies and superiority and inferiority and preferences. And to our soft

00:06:03.620 kind of modern ears, the pre-war world can sound brutal and inflexible. But if we're just being

00:06:09.560 honest, it was an honest time. It looked as the world actually was, and it ordered life

00:06:16.940 accordingly. And it knew that some people groups were barbarians and savages, and some were not.

00:06:24.120 It knew that there were orcs, and that knew that there were hobbits. And again, it's not that the

00:06:29.820 old order had no problems. It did. But as we're going to see today, if you had to choose your

00:06:35.360 problems, the pre-war world or the post-war world, I think you're going to choose the pre-war world.

00:06:43.020 Most of its problems were simply, again, like overextensions of good things, a strong monarch

00:06:47.580 becoming a tyrant or healthy nationalism twisting into some sort of hatred of others or rightful

00:06:53.440 borders turning into some sort of isolation. They were good things that had gone bad and they should

00:06:58.580 have been reformed, not like thrown out completely. So today I want to walk you through what I'm

00:07:04.520 calling the seven marks of the pre-war consensus. And you might be wondering, you know, why does

00:07:09.300 this old system even matter to us today? So there's a powerful book by R.R. Reno called

00:07:15.300 Return of the Strong Gods. And his central argument is that the pre-war world was ruled by

00:07:21.000 what he called strong gods. These are powerful, demanding realities like truth and loyalty and

00:07:26.540 nationalism and religion. And the post-war consensus tried to replace them with weak

00:07:32.160 gods, right? Openness and tolerance and diversity and multiculturalism and feminism and consensus 0.65

00:07:37.020 and all these things, right? But Reno's thesis is that the strong gods are returning, whether we

00:07:42.340 like it or not. But before we can understand how we embraced the post-war consensus, I think we

00:07:47.820 really have to first understand what we left behind. And by understanding it, I think we can

00:07:52.860 begin to recover it and restore it to those older ways as we move into the future. So let's examine

00:07:58.880 these seven marks together, truth, religion, covenant, ethno-nationalism, patriarchy,

00:08:06.000 authority, and historical preservation. So let's start with number one, truth.

00:08:11.300 When the American founders declared, you know, we hold these truths to be self-evident, right?

00:08:17.560 They weren't expressing opinions. They were standing on objective reality. Pre-war societies

00:08:24.020 treated truth the same way. From the cathedrals of the medieval Europe era to the universities 0.88

00:08:31.140 of the 19th century Britain, the classrooms in early America, truth was really understood as

00:08:37.020 an objective reality. It was fixed. It was God-ordained. It was something to be discovered

00:08:41.360 or recognized, not really as a result of consensus or some sort of deconstruction.

00:08:46.280 Today, you can't even say things like the sky is blue or that only women have wombs without 0.99

00:08:53.080 like four camps of idiots evolving with some sort of subjective interpretations of what you said. 0.99

00:08:58.380 And so this commitment to reality produced an extraordinary strength in the pre-war world 1.00

00:09:04.080 because truth allows for what? Well, I mean, it allows for conviction and prosperous societies

00:09:10.340 are built on conviction. And so when people agree on what is real, they can build stable societies.

00:09:17.120 So let me give you an example. Objective truth gave law its authority. It means laws are rooted

00:09:24.180 in what is objectively right, not just what is like preferred. Warning, this product contains

00:10:59.700 We've all just accepted this idea

00:11:01.680 that basic hygiene has to come from a lab.

00:11:04.180 If it's gonna make my body clean,

00:11:06.340 then it has to be synthetic.

00:11:07.980 It has to be artificial.

00:11:09.340 It needs to be constructed in a lab with guys in white coats and goggles and test tubes.

00:11:15.400 But that's not true.

00:11:16.700 See, most oral care products are built on that premise.

00:11:20.380 But Vanman, our sponsor, does something different.

00:11:23.360 They're using real mineral source from grass-fed cattle, which means this.

00:11:27.940 It's going to carry the full mineral profile that your body actually recognizes and can use to clean your teeth and support tooth structure.

00:11:36.980 And really, that's the big idea.

00:11:38.540 There's a lot of health companies that are selling to the crunchy right or the hippie tree hugging left saying our product is the superior product.

00:11:46.880 Why? Because it's it's not bad for you.

00:11:49.540 You live and die at 85 years old instead of dying at 83 years old.

00:11:53.700 But here's a question for the 50 years in between now and death.

00:11:58.480 When I'm playing on the floor with my kids, are they going to look at me and say, Daddy, your teeth stink, right?

00:12:03.320 I use organic, you know, perfectly natural deodorant.

00:12:07.040 Yeah, I know, bro. You stink. So the question is not just, is it healthy? The question is, 0.98

00:12:12.400 is it a good product? If you're selling toothpaste, does it clean your teeth? I can tell you from

00:12:17.360 personal experience, this product does. So go to vanman.shop forward slash NXR. Use our code NXR

00:12:32.100 off van man real ingredients no exceptions um but when truth becomes subjective right your truth

00:12:39.620 my truth all the garbage that we have today law really begins to lose its foundation a city

00:12:44.680 becomes a place of a constant negotiation instead of justice it's all about you know personal

00:12:51.620 preferences and emotion instead of principle and the stability of a society begins to really

00:12:58.480 unravel. Schools in America used to teach facts and virtues without apology, right? Courts pursued

00:13:05.580 justice. Murderers were hung. Leaders called people to sacrifice for what was actually right.

00:13:13.980 Science rapidly grew and advanced because it rested on this kind of belief that an orderly

00:13:23.080 universe is revealed through knowable laws, that you can see them with your own eyes, and we

00:13:28.380 believed in reality. And so I think if I could sum it up in one statement, here's the heart of

00:13:33.140 kind of the truth element of the pre-war world. The pre-war nations feared lies more than they

00:13:39.780 feared offending feelings. They were so committed to truth. And so this fearless honesty about

00:13:45.820 reality. It created clarity, trust. It gave nations a moral backbone. It turned boys into

00:13:54.200 disciplined men, citizens into patriots. Nations really became these powers that endured for

00:14:00.600 centuries. Objective, rigid truth is like the bedrock of any healthy civilization. And when

00:14:07.900 people know what is true, they know that it is real and they know how to behave. But to rightly

00:14:15.960 interpret, and this is the next point, to rightly interpret what is real and what is true, you have

00:14:21.920 to have the next mark, which is religion. So I think that these both kind of go hand in hand

00:14:26.120 together. So a high commitment to truth and reality. And then also the second one is religion.

00:14:33.580 So going back in 1862, the Union troops, they marched into battle and they sang Julia Ward

00:14:42.040 Howe's Battle Hymn of the Republic.

00:14:44.320 And I don't know if you know the lyrics, but they say,

00:14:46.700 mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

00:14:50.940 As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, end quote.

00:14:57.100 All right. 0.89

00:14:57.860 Pre-war America was driven by what I would call totalizing Christianity. 0.96

00:15:03.600 Soldiers, statesmen, factory workers, entrepreneurs, teachers, everyone in between, they saw the 0.78

00:15:09.540 nation's religion as Christianity.

00:15:12.400 And so the privatizing of religion is like very much a post-war phenomenon. 0.52

00:15:17.880 Historically, religion was not like this private relationship or Sunday hobby.

00:15:24.500 It was, in a sense, like a passport. 0.86

00:15:27.080 If you were not a religious person, you were like a degenerate.

00:15:31.400 it was very much important that people knew what church you went to and what were your doctrines

00:15:37.160 and convictions. And, you know, you were a godly man, or people would say you were a moral man or

00:15:42.280 a religious man. Anytime the old world used the word religion, it meant Christianity in America's

00:15:47.480 context. So faith in Christ essentially animated everything, law, education, government, business,

00:15:56.280 family life, national purpose, for sure. And so nations were understood to be inherently religious.

00:16:04.220 We're starting to figure that out again. All of life flowed from this religion aspect because

00:16:11.220 all of life belonged to God. And so men willingly died for their country because of their country's

00:16:18.380 religion. Laws reflected biblical morality. Culture honored the sacred. Everything was

00:16:25.540 dignified because citizens saw themselves as, at least in America, as children of God and as

00:16:31.120 builders of the kingdom of God. I think not just America, I think just the West.

00:16:36.560 The moral clarity alone made America matchless. Not only were we Christians, but we were reformed

00:16:45.460 Protestants, right? We were Bible people. We were 10 commandments people. We were sermon on the

00:16:50.240 mount people. We were the Lord's prayer people. Scripture was like on our buildings, our money,

00:16:55.380 our schools, like everything in between. We were scripture people. We knew that without Christ,

00:17:02.020 the church, without religious life, the nation would essentially fall apart.

00:17:06.000 But what kept us together was not just religion, but a particular dimension of religion, which is

00:17:14.260 leading us into point number three, which is covenant. Okay, covenant. I want to talk about

00:17:20.440 this. This will probably maybe be the longest section that we talk about today. In the summer

00:17:26.420 of 1882, Chinese workers, they had helped build the Transcontinental Railroad. And once they were 0.87

00:17:34.420 done building it, they returned it to these crowded Western towns. The laborers in California,

00:17:39.740 they erupted in fury. They were so upset. You know, they had placards that they were holding

00:17:45.460 up, things like, you know, the Chinese must go, right? Mobs started driving families away from 1.00

00:17:50.380 their homes. But fascinatingly, again, we're in the pre-war world. So Congress listened. 0.98

00:17:55.680 And on May 6th, President Chester A. Arthur, he signed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was

00:18:02.440 like the first federal law to ban an entire ethnic group by race. See, lawmakers openly declared

00:18:08.800 that America must remain a white man's country, or at least America was for Americans and

00:18:15.580 Europeans in extension in that. And so they were essentially warning that they called these people

00:18:26.020 Mongolian at the time. They were essentially unable to assimilate. And they really pushed

00:18:33.460 this particular group out. And this was the natural fruit of a covenantal mindset. This is

00:18:40.120 what we talked about in earlier episodes of kind of in-group preference that had defined the nation

00:18:45.140 since its founding. In the, or not the 1950s, in the 1850s, there was a nativist American party

00:18:54.180 called the Know Nothing Party. Because when you asked about it, their members responded by saying,

00:18:59.660 I know nothing. I know nothing, right? And they're actually the ones that produce that

00:19:03.960 American flag that we all love that says Native Americans, beware of foreign influence. Okay, 0.98

00:19:09.080 so they demanded a 21-year naturalization period because they saw America as kind of a blood and

00:19:16.540 faith inheritance that's guarded for their children. It's not like a boarding house for

00:19:22.920 the world. And pay attention to this. When they said that, a 21-year naturalization period,

00:19:28.860 they're talking about other Europeans. They're talking about the Irish and the Germans that are

00:19:33.440 coming over. They're not talking about non-Europeans. They couldn't even imagine a world

00:19:37.640 of non-Europeans entering into the American covenant. And so by the early 1900s, Theodore

00:19:45.700 Roosevelt, as we mentioned in previous episodes, thundered that same conviction, right? There's no

00:19:50.340 hyphenated Americanism. He celebrated the American race forged by kind of this Northern 0.71

00:19:55.580 European stock and insisted that immigrants, again, European immigrants, have to fully

00:20:00.940 assimilate into the American race or leave. And so ultimately, the nation's leaders were in step 0.81

00:20:10.260 with the people, right? They viewed policy and upheld a particular people. Every law from the

00:20:17.520 1790 Naturalization Act that said, essentially, naturalization or immigration is limited to free

00:20:24.240 white persons of good moral character. You also have in consideration the National Origins Act

00:20:31.620 of the 1921, 1924 that was crafted to, again, preserve sameness, not celebrate diversity.

00:20:39.000 So that's a really big statement right there is that in the pre-war world covenant had this

00:20:44.400 commitment to preserve sameness, not celebrate diversity. It didn't mean that they didn't have

00:20:49.500 any diversity or immigration. They did, but it was so minimal in comparison to what we see today.

00:20:54.640 And so unity came from shared blood. Again, we know that nations are large families. So shared

00:21:03.440 blood, shared tongue, religion, tradition, not just shared geography, not just proximity.

00:21:10.820 No, the individual's highest duty was to strengthen the corporate body of the covenant people.

00:21:17.560 We're not here to express individualism the way that we do today.

00:21:21.300 The covenantal mind step, again, this is stemming from the Christian mentality.

00:21:27.160 I mean, if you see my pin right here, this is the Scottish Covenanters pin.

00:21:31.460 And it's the idea of we're a people together covenanting with one another.

00:21:35.840 It's a very Christian idea.

00:21:37.920 And the covenantal mindset, it built high-trust societies, a cohesive civilization.

00:21:44.260 Americans once believed it was their sacred obligation to hand down kind of this unbroken

00:21:51.740 inheritance. And after all, I mean, the preamble of the Constitution, we all know, right? It says

00:21:57.720 that we created this nation for ourselves and our posterity, which was, again, we had the Western

00:22:05.220 and Northern European stock that it was speaking to. Now, again, in previous episodes, you may

00:22:10.860 have heard me address. We also had some other people groups. We had the slaves that came over.

00:22:16.280 We also acquired portions that were owned by Mexico or just Central America. And so we have

00:22:22.700 kind of adopted a certain people there. But again, these were minorities and there was great

00:22:28.540 assimilation for a long period of time until recently. And so a few weeks ago, I covered

00:22:33.060 Saga Metals, trading as SAGMF in the U.S. and Saga in Canada. It's a company that we've featured

00:22:41.240 many times on this channel. We're revisiting the story much sooner than expected to share a few

00:22:47.300 major developments that are currently unfolding. Less than 48 hours ago, they achieved a 100%

00:22:53.780 drill success rate in all 57 drill holes, all ahead of schedule. The company also added 10

00:23:01.900 million to its bank account from a successful financing round dedicated entirely to drilling,

00:23:08.140 adding serious fuel to an already accelerating program. As the U.S. and its allies move to secure

00:23:15.300 the future, Saga Metals is positioning itself directly where the money, the mandates, and the

00:23:21.640 momentum are flowing. In the past six months, Saga Metals scooped another titanium project from

00:23:28.260 under Rio Tinto, a company roughly 3,500 times larger by market value. That takes execution.

00:23:36.700 It's pretty easy to see where this train is headed. Look at the numbers. You do the math.

00:23:41.640 Now, if you want to learn more about this critical mineral story, then check out the link in the

00:23:46.200 description below. A special thanks to Saga Metals for making today's video possible.

00:23:52.000 At a deeper level, Americans believed that God had entered into covenant with the United States.

00:24:00.280 And they thought that because of its victory over Britain in the Revolutionary War.

00:24:06.640 That essentially had given the American cause God's approval that the United States was a nation.

00:24:15.780 And we know that Acts 17 talks about God establishes nations and their boundaries and when they rise and when they fall.

00:24:22.000 Now, this was actually reinforced by George Washington in his 1789 Thanksgiving proclamation,

00:24:28.620 which again, publicly recognized God's blessing of the United States.

00:24:33.980 And as a result, Americans, they saw themselves as one people, right?

00:24:38.220 One people under God, you know, bound together in a shared covenant.

00:24:42.580 And this covenantal mindset shaped early American culture by making in-group loyalty

00:24:49.300 and cultural preservation feel like it was sacred. It was like a sacred Christian responsibility.

00:24:56.780 And this bled into my fourth mark, which is ethno-nationalism. Now, you know that I'm a

00:25:03.280 Christian nationalist, but I think that there is a dimension of ethno-nationalism that can be a part

00:25:08.640 of Christian nationalism. Because you have, again, you have Christianity, you have Christian

00:25:12.840 and Christian nationalism. But then in addition to that, you have nationalism. And right now,

00:25:17.660 I think a lot of people really like the Christian side, but they don't understand the nationalism

00:25:22.760 side. And so ethno-nationalism, I think, is a very important discussion to be having

00:25:27.580 in the Christian nationalism discussion. I don't think we need to be hard-lined,

00:25:32.200 but I do think we need to be far more rigid than we have at this current moment.

00:25:37.220 And so if covenant was the musculoskeletal framework of how citizens related to one another,

00:25:44.900 um, ethno-nationalism is quite literally the blood. Okay. God created nations as extensions

00:25:51.840 of like genetic families, you know, large communities where, you know, shared biology

00:25:57.700 naturally produces a variety of things like likeness, uh, familiarity, trust, um, strong

00:26:04.200 bonds. So everyone knows that like who their people are like visually, right? Everyone knows

00:26:11.440 that people prefer their own immediate families.

00:26:16.040 And so it's like fascinating to me.

00:26:17.260 Like everybody gets this, right?

00:26:18.100 We all know that we prefer our own families,

00:26:20.340 but we used to understand that this same logic

00:26:24.260 extends outward to our ethnic family.

00:26:26.760 And by the way, let's not get it wrong here.

00:26:30.900 Almost every race understands that except white people, right?

00:26:34.740 We know Stephen Wolf's quote, 0.80

00:26:36.460 you know, white people's, we are our own in-groups, out-group. 0.72

00:26:39.580 I talked about it in a previous episode, 0.60

00:26:40.920 But black people understand this. You know, Asians understand this. You know, Indians and

00:26:46.380 Muslims understand this. You know, Hispanics understand this. Like white people need to

00:26:51.720 figure out how to understand these conversations around the order of Morris. Just because, you

00:26:57.740 know, if you're a white German, it doesn't mean that you hate black Nigerians because you prefer

00:27:04.180 white Germans. It just means that you have a natural preference for your own people, which

00:27:08.080 is normal and good. The apostle Paul had a natural preference for his own people, according to his

00:27:13.700 kin, according to the flesh, the Jews. And so before the world wars, virtually every nation 0.54

00:27:20.940 on earth was an ethno nation, borders, identity, loyalty. They were all external expressions of

00:27:29.500 ethno nationalism. There were no, you know, what people call it today, civic nations, or

00:27:35.220 or some people call them propositional nations, like the idea that America is an idea. There was

00:27:40.960 none of that. There was no multiculturalism. There was no multi-ethnic world. That wasn't 1.00

00:27:47.900 happening. No, there were Brits, and there were Canadians, and there were Scots, and there were

00:27:51.300 Japanese, and there were Mexicans, and there were Aussies, and there were Americans, and more,

00:27:54.200 right? They were ethnic families. And some of them, and let me say this, not just are they

00:28:01.400 ethnic families, there's really truly was a diversity in the world. We are reducing our 0.99

00:28:08.100 diversity the more that we have kind of multicultural societies that intermarry and we 1.00

00:28:13.840 actually lose ethnic genocide or through ethnic genocide, particular populations, especially right

00:28:20.260 now. We know that white people are the minority population in the world and that's happening. 0.87

00:28:25.820 And so true diversity, to preserve diversity, would be preserving those families by having 0.97

00:28:31.480 strong borders, limiting immigration, and multiculturalism.

00:28:35.300 And so now there were multi-ethnic empires, like the Ottoman Empire, the Austro-Hungrian

00:28:44.220 Empire, the Russian Empire.

00:28:46.760 But even those empires were generally composed of related ethnicities. 0.96

00:28:51.600 And I think that's kind of like a far cry from our Western nightmare of multiculturalism 0.98

00:28:55.800 that's like radically different peoples, conflicting ethnicities that are living

00:29:00.280 together in the same land. Okay. But even these like ethnically related empires,

00:29:05.520 they were notorious for constant tension, um, eventual fracture, um, homogenous nations,

00:29:12.760 you know, where you have like 90% of one primary ethnic group. These people generally throughout

00:29:21.020 history enjoyed peace and strength. I mean, to this day, roughly 90% of all nations function

00:29:28.840 as ethnostates with a dominant native population. I mean, just think about it. I mean, you got

00:29:35.440 Mexico and you got Russia and you got Korea and you got Colombia, whatever you want to name,

00:29:41.060 right? Like 90% of the nations today still function that way. And so the only exceptions

00:29:47.280 today are white Western Christian nations that have been wounded by mass immigration and 1.00

00:29:56.760 third world immigrants with what I would say ethnically incompatible or morally incompatible 1.00

00:30:03.620 at least people coming into our lands. And as many of you know, Japan remains as one of the 1.00

00:30:13.960 great examples of a successful pre-war style ethno-nation today. The country is still like 0.99

00:30:20.240 98% ethnically Japanese. Now, their genetic and cultural unity has produced a variety of benefits.

00:30:29.980 Rapid consensus, right? Explosive economic growth, universal education, efficient cooperation,

00:30:38.600 minimal internal conflict, exceptionally high trust societies, and social cohesion.

00:30:45.800 Now, I've said this a few times now, but I'm just going to say it again.

00:30:50.160 Nationalism, it may create wars between nations, but multiculturalism creates wars within nations.

00:30:58.080 I recently saw a graphic with an arrow going up for, it's like an arrow going up for immigration

00:31:07.100 and an arrow going down titled everything else. 1.00

00:31:10.920 In other words, like as more foreigners 0.96

00:31:13.140 have come into the West, 1.00

00:31:15.280 there is not like one dimension

00:31:17.160 of our national life that has improved, right?

00:31:21.560 It's like literally eroded the historic core.

00:31:25.520 It's producing plummeting trust. 0.90

00:31:29.100 It's producing ethnic balkanization, 0.73

00:31:32.100 parallel societies, identity warfare everywhere.

00:31:37.100 You may have recently heard Vivek's Ramaswamy. He quoted Ronald Reagan's absolutely worst quote. He said, quote, this is Reagan's quote, but it's Vivek quoting it. He says, you can go to live in France, but you cannot be a Frenchman.

00:31:58.280 You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German or a Turk or a

00:32:04.800 Japanese. But anyone from any corner of the earth can come to live in America and become an American.

00:32:12.560 Now, both Reagan and Vivek acknowledge that every other nation on the planet is allowed to have

00:32:21.740 an ethno-state except Americans. See, ultimately, the pre-war generation understood that ethnic

00:32:32.300 homogeneity preserved peace because it eliminated the constant risk of minority discrimination

00:32:39.100 or conflict, demographic replacement, the threat of that at least, and internal conflict between

00:32:47.140 peoples. See, when you have multiculturalism, you have all these groups that are consistently

00:32:52.300 battling for governmental influence and power that are aiming to produce laws in their favor,

00:33:00.540 supporting and protecting their particular doctrines or beliefs. And so it's not whether

00:33:05.780 America will be religious, it's which religion will dominate America. And so all of history 0.81

00:33:10.920 testifies to this fact. People are loyal to those who look like them and who share their culture,

00:33:18.020 right? If you don't believe me, just like go to a prison just for like a weekend, right?

00:33:23.940 Look at, even in America, like look at the Slavic churches and look at the Slavic neighborhoods, 0.93

00:33:30.240 right? Or the Asian neighborhoods down in, you know, the Slavic neighborhoods up in the Northwest,

00:33:34.360 you got, and in Sacramento area, you got the Asian neighborhoods down in Irvine, Orange County,

00:33:40.920 Um, you know, you can look at, uh, Chinatown and little Korea and, and, you know, black churches

00:33:47.500 and Hispanic churches and more, right? The left hates identity politics and wants to like erase

00:33:53.440 all of our distinctions, but this is how God designed the world. Okay. Birds of a feather

00:33:58.280 flock together, right? Yes. Christ has come to bear, to bring peace between every tribe,

00:34:04.980 nation, and tongue, but he does not eliminate every tribe, nation, and tongue. So we have peace,

00:34:11.200 especially if we're Christian, we can have peace between Christian nations. That's a glorious and

00:34:16.420 godly thing. And I know we failed at that in World War I and World War II. So this, I think, again,

00:34:22.400 the difference between Christian nationalism and nationalism needs to be emphasized as we go forth

00:34:28.080 in the future. So the next, the fifth mark we're going to be talking about is also very important.

00:34:35.860 It's patriarchy. One of the more deeply rooted realities of the pre-war society was patriarchy.

00:34:42.440 Men led, right? Men provided, men protected. Women bore and nurtured children, and they took

00:34:50.400 care of the home, right? Property, inheritance, and political authority, they all belong to men, 1.00

00:34:56.200 This wasn't even like a point of contention for the vast majority of people, including women. 1.00

00:35:03.040 Women didn't contend against this structure. 1.00

00:35:06.580 I mean, the majority of women did not contend against this. 0.70

00:35:10.320 Now, as many of you know, patriarchy just means father rule. 0.72

00:35:15.300 And that was reality because it flowed again from Christianity. 0.87

00:35:19.940 The husband stood as the head of the household. 0.72

00:35:23.420 You know, husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church

00:35:25.280 because you're the head of the church.

00:35:26.260 You know, Christ is the head of the church. 0.92

00:35:27.480 The husband is the head of the wife. 0.91

00:35:30.280 And so, you know, the husband's the head. 0.87

00:35:32.900 The children carried the father's last name.

00:35:36.760 They identified with his lineage and culture, estates. 0.59

00:35:41.560 They passed through the male line, voting, contracts, public office, civic responsibility. 0.92

00:35:49.580 They were all completely male domains. Now, legal reality actually reinforced this. So this wasn't

00:35:58.140 just like a cultural or spiritual thing. This was actually a legislative government thing.

00:36:03.400 Okay. Women operated under what was called coverture. This is essentially like, it's like 1.00

00:36:08.680 a 13th century English common law where a woman's legal existence was essentially suspended upon

00:36:16.220 marriage. And this is like the practice of society to adopt the biblical idea of a man and a woman

00:36:26.380 becoming one flesh. And so it's why women used to say, oh, I'm Mrs. John Smith. Like they lost

00:36:36.200 themselves. They lost their identity in their marriage. And so for that reason, they couldn't,

00:36:44.320 as married women, independently owned property. They couldn't retain their own wages, enter 1.00

00:36:49.020 contracts without their husband's involvement. And beginning in, I think it was 1840, 1839,

00:36:55.480 states started to pass what was called the Married Woman's Property Acts. And that allowed women to 0.99

00:37:02.860 legally represent their husband's estate. So it gave them a little bit more structure. I think 0.89

00:37:06.840 it was more of a practicality at that point. But nobody viewed this under kind of the Marxist

00:37:13.420 oppressor and oppressed model that we do today. Instead, they viewed it as, you know, their lives,

00:37:21.400 men and women, as kind of a division of responsibility and labor, right? Men bore 0.94

00:37:26.260 the weight of provision and defense and public order. Women exercised authority in the domestic 1.00

00:37:34.240 realm with family and child rearing and moral formation of the children. And in the 1800s, 0.88

00:37:41.460 this structure was actually called a thing. It was popularized under the name of the doctrine

00:37:47.840 of spheres, of separate spheres. And ultimately, it held that men and women excelled in distinct

00:37:58.400 realms. So they had like their own spheres. And we knew that men, you know, by their biology and

00:38:03.740 the way they looked, they excelled in the exterior sphere and women in the interior sphere.

00:38:11.460 And so men were in the public world, commerce, politics, competition, invention. Women are in 0.98

00:38:18.360 the private world of the home, the family, again, that moral cultivation in children. 0.89

00:38:23.440 And this structure totally informed not just home life, but public life. Parents prepared

00:38:30.960 daughters for the home, for the future in the home. From girlhood, females learned domestic 0.99

00:38:37.280 competence, right? Cooking, cleaning, sewing, household management, child rearing. Even the 0.99

00:38:43.260 working class girls were learning these things. And the wealthy class girls were learning how to 1.00

00:38:49.140 oversee servants, but still kind of internalize the expectation of like a graceful domestic 1.00

00:38:55.040 oversight. And so in the pre-war world, feminine virtue centered on modesty and gentleness and 0.99

00:39:04.860 moral purity and Christianity, domestic ability, right? Virtuous men, Christian men, they sought 0.82

00:39:13.700 wives for traits, not because they were just beautiful, but because they were meek or because 0.98

00:39:18.920 a woman was restrained in her opinions, or she had a kind of a cheerful competence in the private 0.99

00:39:25.540 sphere. And so youth was spent mastering these domestic arts for young women. And it produced 0.81

00:39:35.400 women who were comfortable in their role. They weren't resentful of it. Lady Markby, 0.80

00:39:41.720 who was a character in Oscar Wilde's book, The Ideal Husband in 1895, he contrasted this kind

00:39:48.560 newer pressures of feminism with the kind of older era. And he's actually applauding the time

00:39:55.560 when women were spared the burdens of public striving and advanced education and how it was 0.95

00:40:01.280 preferable to just remain at home for a woman. And so ultimately, the women of the pre-war

00:40:08.940 consensus rejected the core feminist premise that fulfillment for women requires identical access

00:40:17.000 to male spheres. Now, of course, patriarchy without Christianity often descends into some

00:40:22.900 sort of degree of tyranny, which plants the seeds for feminism. And so the recovery of America 0.82

00:40:30.140 requires biblical patriarchy, not just patriarchy. Okay, the sixth mark is authority. Now, one of the

00:40:38.680 bedrock convictions of the pre-war world was the deep respect for authority. You know, the authority

00:40:47.320 of God, you know, king, parents, teachers, judges, law enforcement, you know, hierarchy was seen as

00:40:56.740 natural and essential for ordered liberty and life. Okay. Monarchies and republics expected

00:41:04.220 submission to kind of the legitimate laws and rulers that were in place. Judges, they would

00:41:10.860 deliver swift, often severe, justice. Public executions, stocks, corporal punishment, these

00:41:18.480 were visible reminders that actions of sin carried weighty consequences. And this consensus produced

00:41:27.820 a remarkably safe society. In fact, homicide at this time, the pre-war consensus, was 0.73

00:41:33.580 dramatically low. I mean, historic lows. You're talking like one per 100,000 in many

00:41:40.840 different countries. I mean, today, the national homicide rate is like 6.5 per 100,000. That's a

00:41:47.580 national rate. And if you go to certain cities, like you go to St. Louis or you go to Chicago

00:41:51.960 or something, it's like 50 to 60 per 100,000. And so crime was so rare in the pre-war world

00:41:59.880 that most towns, they didn't even have police. They didn't have judges. They had to bring in

00:42:05.020 judges and officers from other cities because criminals were just rare. And so we have drifted

00:42:12.060 so far, so far. And the cultural upheavals that really started in the 1960s, Western societies

00:42:21.040 rejected this kind of traditional authority in favor of, oh, the individual autonomy and

00:42:26.620 question everything was kind of the theme of the 60s. And the results are visible, right? They're

00:42:32.680 visible. Violent crime has absolutely surged in the U.S. and in Europe from 1970s to now, right?

00:42:41.420 Courts became backlogged. Parental authority is eroding. No-fault divorce, state interventions

00:42:48.300 everywhere, lawlessness, lack of liberty in certain places, urban riots, shoplifting. Everything is

00:42:56.220 normalized now. Like we have become so numb to the chaos of our time. And that's why it's so

00:43:03.140 important. We have to look back. That's why I wanted to do this episode. You have to look back

00:43:06.740 to this previous era to remember who we were so that we can be so frustrated about where we are.

00:43:15.320 So the pre-war mind understood this timeless truth that without submission to rightful authority,

00:43:22.360 freedom collapses into disorder. Okay. Number seven. Number seven is one you might not expect.

00:43:31.540 Historical preservation. Historical preservation. The pre-war consensus revered tradition. Okay.

00:43:41.720 They viewed it as the accumulated wisdom of the generations. Okay. It's really the manifestation

00:43:48.700 of everything we have discussed so far. And what I mean by that is like they preserved the past

00:43:55.080 because they valued truth and religion and covenantal identity and nationalism and

00:44:00.440 patriarchy and authority. They valued these things. Christian nations were shaped, and this

00:44:06.100 is a key here, they were shaped by a linear view of history. They believed that God was restoring

00:44:13.400 the world through the centuries by the gospel, and they saw themselves as stewards of that

00:44:22.520 development. And they understood the wisdom of Jeremiah 6, 16 that says, ask for the old paths

00:44:30.540 where the good way is and walk in it. And so this was a contrast to the pagan nations that had a 0.96

00:44:40.320 cyclical culture that treated the past and history as kind of an obstacle to be discarded.

00:44:47.660 See, Christian societies were the ones who built museums and historical societies and national

00:44:53.280 parks and monuments. They wanted to honor their forefathers and preserve the virtue and identity

00:44:59.460 that they were building upon over the generations. They wanted to highlight where they were and where

00:45:07.000 they've come. They kept artifacts and archaeological sites and, you know, even painful artifacts,

00:45:14.620 believing that an honest memory built stronger people. You know, America's Mount Vernon,

00:45:21.360 you know, Britain's stately beautiful homes, the cathedrals, right? Europe's medieval towns,

00:45:28.340 you know, they maintained these things because they testified to God's story and providence

00:45:34.820 in their nation's history. The old proverb rang true, before you tear something down,

00:45:41.840 ask why it's there, right? Today, we tear down statues and sell historic buildings and churches

00:45:49.520 and rewrite the past to soothe kind of our modern sensibilities. The pre-war mind was stronger, 0.71

00:45:57.480 right? It understood that a people who forgot their story soon lose their future. And again,

00:46:03.760 I said this when we opened up the show, right? The grave of a nation is dug with the shovel

00:46:09.560 of forgetfulness. And so these were our seven points. So you can go back, you can write them

00:46:16.260 down, you can listen to them, but I want to kind of bring it back to the front, right? So, you know,

00:46:20.280 when R.R. Reno talked about, you know, in his book, The Return of the Strong Gods, he's referring

00:46:25.500 to the revival of these foundational forces that we're talking about here and others like them.

00:46:32.200 There's more, right? And he's describing the end of the modern liberal experiment and the

00:46:40.540 unraveling of the liberal open society. But what replaced the natural convictions

00:46:47.640 of the pre-war world? And that's what we call the post-war consensus. It's the world that we all

00:46:55.580 grew up in. And it's all over us. We don't even know how much we've been influenced by it.

00:47:01.180 and it's like a fish that doesn't know it's wet. We are wet with the pre-war consensus

00:47:07.060 and it's why we're going to be covering that in our next episode.

00:47:12.580 So at this point, let's move on to the weekly audit.

00:47:22.120 So a few things I want to talk about in this section of the weekly audit. I like to take

00:47:30.380 a few things that catch my eyes on the internet. We can have a discussion about them, understand

00:47:35.560 them within a biblical framework. But this video I thought was pretty fascinating. It's a young

00:47:41.000 woman, European, and let's listen to what she has to say. Ethnonationalism is the real true form of 1.00

00:47:47.700 nationalism and everything else is a lie. Those that wish to subversively dilute its meaning,

00:47:53.500 to ignore truths they find hard to accept, cannot be trusted and they must be cast aside.

00:47:59.020 countries like japan have got it right because they are essentially an ethno-state they are 0.98

00:48:04.460 97 ethnically japanese and this is why they are a success they do not want the third world to 0.93

00:48:10.760 invade and infest their country and destroy it and they are unapologetic about it they look to 0.94

00:48:15.960 european nations like ourselves as a prime example of what not to do the british identity was true 0.69

00:48:22.720 yeah so she's basically going on and on about this idea of an ethno-state and okay so a few

00:48:28.240 things. One, you obviously know that I agree because you basically said what I was saying

00:48:31.820 in my piece here. But in addition to that, I'm almost frustrated that she's saying it, right?

00:48:39.940 Where are the men saying this? We live in a society where women are saying more of these 1.00

00:48:46.320 truths because they do have essentially more freedom in a feministic culture. We've made it 1.00

00:48:53.040 almost illegal for men to criticize anything that a feminist would agree with. And so men have become

00:49:00.800 more timid. I do believe that we are seeing an uprising of men. But you see this, like the PTA

00:49:07.160 meetings, who's there? It's the women that are there at the PTA meetings that are having these 1.00

00:49:10.900 recorded things or city council. It's the women that are there doing that. And again, I do believe 0.97

00:49:17.600 in Europe, especially women do have this particular need to speak because they are being victimized

00:49:22.740 by rape at such a high degree. To be a woman in Europe, to walk around at night is absolutely

00:49:30.020 dangerous. And so, but I appreciate young women. My hope is that, I don't know if she's married,

00:49:37.960 I don't know her story or whatever. I also, again, you guys know that I'm not a giant fan

00:49:42.120 of women being on the internet, but I think there is a time and place and exceptions for particular 0.99

00:49:46.120 things to have discussions that we might together overturn some of these greater problems. So I 0.56

00:49:52.140 thought that was a fascinating episode. Her name is, I think, S-A-S or something like that.

00:49:57.860 Syska. I can't remember her actual name, but you can find her on Instagram. The next one

00:50:03.580 is Adam Carolla. And I haven't paid attention to him for some time. And this video just popped up

00:50:12.060 and I thought it was really good. It's a little long, so we're going to just watch it for a few

00:50:17.240 minutes together. But it was really helpful because it used the term gyno-fascism. And I

00:50:26.560 think that's a very good term. Let's take a look. What's the one thing we're not talking about that

00:50:30.580 we should be? Gyno-fascism. I figured you'd make that look. It's something I've been thinking about 0.99

00:50:41.680 a lot over the last like 20 years like we need more women in positions of power we need more 1.00

00:50:48.900 women making the calls and calling the shots we need a woman president we need a woman prime 1.00

00:50:53.900 minister we need more feminine presence like everywhere and and la is like mostly women

00:51:02.440 uh city council we have a female mayor and we don't get anything done and i started to really

00:51:10.080 think about like what there's a difference between the male brain and the female brain and the male

00:51:14.760 brain wants to do stuff like go go go like if you want no difference between the male brain and the

00:51:20.780 female brain karen bass and donald trump got together three days after the fires and donald 0.80

00:51:27.160 trump was like let's get going move clean up those lots let's get building and she was like slow it 1.00

00:51:33.000 down, slow it down. She is a process person and women are more likely to be process people. They 1.00

00:51:41.180 talk, they want to talk it out. They want to work. They want to have a meeting and they want to break

00:51:44.920 off and have another meeting. And then I'm going to put together a blue ribbon panel. And so in LA,

00:51:49.800 we have a homeless problem and the homeless problem keeps getting worse every year, but we 1.00

00:51:54.440 keep having more conversations and more panels and more groups, but it's mostly women and nothing 0.99

00:52:00.460 ever gets enacted. And we are heading toward a society that used to be men, men, men, testosterone, 0.96

00:52:11.560 testosterone. And by the way, I'm not making this up. You're going to see more articles and stuff

00:52:15.360 coming out that the feminine mind is different. And the feminine mind is also satiated by actually 1.00

00:52:22.520 discussing the thing. So if we're sitting here and, you know, you're going, we should take this 0.73

00:52:29.560 and move this wall and do a thing. 1.00

00:52:32.140 The feminine mind actually feels like we did something,

00:52:35.060 whereas the male mind is like we haven't done anything.

00:52:37.560 We just keep talking about this thing that we're not doing,

00:52:40.500 and it's frustrating versus satiating.

00:52:43.660 So the feminization is causing a huge shift in our culture.

00:52:51.880 We just got crushed by COVID, especially in Los Angeles, 1.00

00:52:55.540 because we had a female health director. 1.00

00:52:58.100 And by the way, men can be stricken with this. 0.99

00:53:01.280 Gavin Newsom's a pussy, and Eric Garcetti, our former mayor. 1.00

00:53:06.060 Justin Trudeau thinks like a chick. 1.00

00:53:08.060 You can tell, watch them cross their legs.

00:53:10.820 Watch Obama and Trudeau and Newsom. 0.98

00:53:13.640 When they cross their legs, it's a full chick.

00:53:17.180 And they're signaling, they're presenting. 1.00

00:53:19.200 They're going, I have chicked it.

00:53:21.320 So it's a thing.

00:53:22.820 It's going, it's happening.

00:53:24.440 It's going to happen.

00:53:25.440 And it will fuck up our society because if something like COVID comes around, their plan is nobody leaves their house, shut all the schools.

00:53:35.380 I'm done here.

00:53:37.080 That's not how do we work?

00:53:39.700 How do we deal with the danger?

00:53:41.460 Dealing with the danger is shut is shut down. 1.00

00:53:44.260 Barbara Ferrer, the health whatever crazy witch who ran this town, her plan was just shut it down. 0.99

00:53:50.960 Rochelle Walensky, CDC, just no, no nothing. 1.00

00:53:54.500 Just shut it all down.

00:53:55.900 And by the way, lie, if you have to, to keep it shut down. 1.00

00:53:59.580 So there is a gyno-fascism that's sort of coming, 0.83

00:54:04.200 and it was a lot of years of like, 0.97

00:54:06.120 well, if we just had women in charge, 0.99

00:54:07.600 we wouldn't have wars, we wouldn't have crime, 1.00

00:54:09.340 we'd have a better society.

00:54:10.540 People would, no, it is not. 1.00

00:54:12.880 Los Angeles is basically run by women 1.00

00:54:16.240 and is run into the ground. 1.00

00:54:18.080 And there's a problem.

00:54:20.500 There's gonna continue to be a problem,

00:54:22.820 and we'll see it growing.

00:54:24.240 You'll see more articles on it.

00:54:25.720 There'll be more tests.

00:54:27.060 Yeah, this is right.

00:54:28.400 I 100% agree.

00:54:29.800 I'm really impressed with his willingness to say it

00:54:32.540 and ability to say that.

00:54:34.040 So I think we're going to see a great noticing of this

00:54:39.000 in the coming years.

00:54:40.240 Two points that I thought were fascinating. 0.99

00:54:41.840 One is a woman's desire for harmony 1.00

00:54:44.920 affects her ability to get things done. 0.99

00:54:48.500 The reason they have the meetings and the gatherings 0.98

00:54:50.880 and the councils and the votes

00:54:52.260 is because they are desiring harmony. They don't want to steamroll anybody. And the reason they

00:54:59.560 desire harmony is because they absolutely abhor conflict. And so harmony is the other thing.

00:55:05.760 And the other thing I thought was fascinating was that women are satiated by discussions. 0.99

00:55:12.540 So they think that something is done when in reality, nothing is done. And this is, again, 0.95

00:55:19.820 we're rediscovering old truths. And it's why women must not be in positions of leadership 1.00

00:55:26.180 anywhere, really. I think that women, I mean, outside of, again, like unique circumstances, 1.00

00:55:34.420 dealing with babies or caring for the hospice care for the sick. I mean, there's just like a few

00:55:41.500 exceptions, but generally speaking, men need to be running the vast majority of society,

00:55:47.400 all of the government, all of the church, all of the home. And so I thought that was a fascinating

00:55:53.320 take. And I love the term. The next clip that we're going to be talking about is just,

00:55:59.020 you know, I have my book, 19 Reasons to Repeal the 19th Amendment. And this is just one of those

00:56:06.920 videos that you see and you go, oh my gosh, these people vote. These people vote.

00:56:13.140 do you think about brexit what what's that like where we're leaving the european union i don't i

00:56:19.300 seriously don't have so like if you so it was to leave the eu so we wouldn't be part of europe

00:56:24.100 yeah which would mean like welfare and like things we trade with would be cut down so does that mean

00:56:31.620 we won't have any trees cheese trees oh no that's got nothing to do with it we have trees we're just

00:56:40.180 not in the european union we're still classes like being in europe doesn't it mean it'd be 0.97

00:56:45.940 odd so these people vote okay and that happens uh in america as well these young 18 year old women 1.00

00:56:53.020 who have no clue about any civic reality legislative system they probably can't name 1.00

00:57:01.500 the branches of government and these people vote part of my argument in the 19 reasons to repeal

00:57:08.580 the 19th Amendment is that it's dispelling the myth that everybody should vote. The reality is

00:57:17.960 that very few people should vote. Not even all men should vote. There should be high qualifications 0.93

00:57:22.940 in order to vote and lead society. The idea that just anybody, like if you have a pulse and you're

00:57:28.920 over the age of 18 that you should vote, it's the most foolish idea. We don't do that in any other

00:57:33.740 dimension of our life. And so this was just a fascinating take that really helped me,

00:57:39.420 I think, communicate why we need to have this discussion at a national level about the repealing

00:57:48.920 of the 19th Amendment. And by the way, I know that it's going to be almost impossible to repeal

00:57:54.360 the 19th Amendment. Why would I be talking about it? Why would I write a book about it?

00:57:57.260 Well, the reason is this. If we balkanize as a nation, if we shrink down into a conservative

00:58:06.100 America made up of a handful of states and become our own country in five to 10 years, 0.99

00:58:11.300 I want that nation to be very clear on not letting women vote. I'm a big fan of the household vote 1.00

00:58:20.480 cast by the husband. But this cannot happen. So this is why I'm planting the seeds of this

00:58:28.180 discussion. And honestly, a vast majority of women are for it. I mean, when I post about it,

00:58:33.260 the comments, you get the crazy blue haired liberals that are pissed. But outside of that, 0.92

00:58:38.360 you have lots of women that are willing and ready to give up the 19th amendment because 1.00

00:58:43.640 they connect the dots that our world is what it is because of feminism. 1.00

00:58:50.820 So that's a wrap for this episode. 1.00
