Summary
Gregory Graf and I agree on being agreeable, about the Second Amendment and about keeping people’s kids out of political battles. We share a Christian faith. Gregory and I differ profoundly on other topics, like whether globalist forces are trying to take America down--you know my view, that they are--and on topics like Ranked Choice Voting, which I consider both a tool of the Left and forced speech. We also disagree about some people, as Gregory is no fan of some friends of mine. Today, we discuss “extremism” both in general and in Republican politics. We will go deep on some Idaho issues by way of staging the debate and broad on some national and international issues. I think the Podcast family will disagree with Gregory on much, I hope you will celebrate a man willing to politely debate his views rather than retreating into bubble-land--I know I appreciate it
What does God’s Word say?
It’s not an exact match--”come, let us reason together”, from the Book of Isaiah--but it’s a good guide for those of us who want to model Jesus in how we debate.
What Does 'Come Let Us Reason Together' Mean in the Bible? Old Testament prophecy isn't always an easy genre to understand properly. So when Isaiah 1:18 says, "Come now, let us reason together… though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow," what is the prophet communicating?

| 0:00.0 | I came across a gentleman on Twitter who was talking about extremism in the Republican |
| 0:06.4 | party. |
| 0:08.6 | And I disagreed greatly with some of the things he said. |
| 0:12.7 | And so I reached out to him and said, hey, maybe you could come on my podcast and teach |
| 0:16.3 | me about what extremism looks like. |
| 0:19.6 | To my great surprise, Gregory Graff wrote back to me and looked at who I am, looked at what |
| 0:27.5 | I do and accepted. |
| 0:33.6 | And to my even greater surprise, he showed up exactly on time for the interview. |
| 0:42.3 | That doesn't happen very often these days. |
| 0:44.0 | Now, Gregory and I probably disagree on a whole lot of detail, a whole lot. |
| 0:52.4 | I know, for instance, that he has some real problems and apparent dislike for people |
| 1:00.3 | I consider friends. |
| 1:02.8 | And he's also had some interactions that are deeply concerning to me, things done to his |
| 1:08.3 | family and his kids than anger me by people that I might agree with some details on. |
| 1:16.7 | So in this discussion, we got into some areas of, we tried to find agreement. |
| 1:23.6 | And I think that probably both he and I bent over kind of backwards to try to be agreeable. |
| 1:29.4 | But there were some contentious moments like this exchange. |
| 1:32.2 | So Gregory, you mentioned some topics near and dear to my heart. |
| 1:37.5 | There is a global coval that's trying to take over the country. |
| 1:41.1 | It's called the World Economic Forum and they're making great fantastic progress. |
| 1:44.9 | They just forced Americans to get injected with an experimental gene sequencing device. |
| 1:50.4 | And they pushed that. |
