I’ve been busy, and have three recent interviews you can watch or listen to.
First, I flew to Dallas a few weeks ago, sleep-deprived and cranky, to talk to James Poulos — the executive editor of The American Mind — in the Blaze TV studios. That interview was posted last week. We talked about California’s decline, and the warnings it offers people in other places. The thumbnail makes me look like an angry tortoise, so that’s very exciting. Afterwards they tapped on my shell and fed me lettuce leaves.
Second, I just talked to Todd Herman about the effort to secure the rights of parents in California, and — a theme develops! — the warning that political struggle offers to people in other places. You can listen to our discussion here. We talked about the astonishing case of the parents in deep-red Montana who fought the state and lost over their daughter’s declaration that she’s a boy and wants to transition.
And finally, Steve Kobrin is a New Jersey businessman who runs a Gallery of Freedom Fighters. I’m honored that Steve added me to that gallery. You can watch our discussion here. The topic of the discussion is freedom, freedom, and freedom: why it matters, what it means, how we maintain it. The end of the discussion covers the question of what this Chris Bray person thinks he’s trying to do.
Three interesting discussions, if you have the time.
Yay! So glad that your unique message is getting out beyond Substack. I look forward to watching all the videos after my work day. People are so dismissive-- “California is crazy, you should just leave”-- not connecting that our craziness will metastasize to their state.
I listened to the first podcast last week. Just found Todd Herman. Great interview.
The irony of the 'rise of Fascism' under Trump compared to the complete capture of corporate America that we see post COVID does not give the Leftists cognitive dissonance. Why? They never loved freedom. This is who they are.
Must have been 15 years ago, but we were talking about how the left is simply an aggregation of misfits. This was, of course, before Bruce Jenner lost his fbomb mind and became a very ugly woman.
Now the misfittery has gone to 11.
hey never did want freedom, nor to help the down trodden. They want revenge. They want to extract wealth and joy from you. Orwell noted this back in the 40s. They don't love the poor--they HATE THE RICH-or the beautiful, or the competent, or the stable, or the married, or the religious, or the white, or the normal, or the...they hate everything that is good, true, or beautiful.
Thank you Chris for so eloquently arguing for the good, the true, and the beautiful. I'm not ready to throw in the towel.
