Summary

In a world wrought with political deceptions, tribal entanglements, and the inequitable distribution of suffering, it’s no wonder that so many people feel completely lost in the search for purpose. Congressman Dan Crenshaw sits down with Dr Jordan B Peterson to discuss these dragons that we all face, and the kind of mindset it takes to defeat them. US Representative Dan Crenshaw was formerly a Navy SEAL, serving his country in five tours of duty, and achieving the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He famously lost his right eye after an IED explosion during his third tour, but still served for another four years thereafter. He is currently a Congressman and public speaker, talking to the points of mental solidarity and ethics, even in the face of adversity. He has also recently published the novel, “Fortitude: American Resilience in the Era of Outrage.” —Links— For Dan Crenshaw: Congressman Crenshaw’s Website - https://crenshaw.house.gov/ 2022 Crenshaw Youth Summit - www.crenshawyouthsummit.com (Book) Fortitude: American Resilience in the Era of Outrage - https://www.amazon.com/Fortitude-American-Resilience-Era-Outrage/dp/1538733307 // SIGN UP FOR DAILY WIRE+ // www.dailywireplus.com // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jordanbpeterson.co...

Hello everyone, I'm pleased today to be talking to Congressman Dan Crenshaw, who I've

0:21.8

had the privilege to get to know.

0:24.0

Over the last couple of years now, most recently, Congressman Crenshaw set up an event for

0:30.2

me in Washington where I had the privilege of speaking to a large group of Republicans

0:35.2

concentrating on policy making about the possibility of generating a positive message

0:40.6

going forward as a bulwark, let's say, against the possibility of a kind of reactionary populism,

0:49.4

which is not optimal, unfortunate for everyone concerned.

0:54.1

Dan and I talked after that about doing another podcast, concentrating on political issues,

0:58.5

particularly focusing on the danger posed by the radicals on the left and the radicals

on the right.

1:05.8

He's had a lot of experience with the unpleasant radicals on the right.

American resilience in the age of outrage.

1:26.3

And I really liked the book.

1:27.8

I thought it was a lovely balance of story, personal story, concept, encouragement, clear

1:38.9

delineation of a political and sometimes a theological philosophy, psychological philosophy.

1:45.1

So I took a lot of notes and I thought what I would do after I read Dan's bio is walk

1:51.3

through his book with him.

1:53.7

There's a lot of places where are thinking dovetails, I suppose, which is why it's easy

1:58.7

for us to get along.

2:01.4

And I think we could have a very productive discussion as a consequence.
