Summary
Left and Right live in different worlds. Here’s a new example. The most common question Ezra Klein, NYT left-leaning columnist, says he gets at speeches and on his podcast is “should I have children in a world that’s burning up from global warming?” This is only a question for those on the Left. Last night Dennis debated the question, are people basically good? Dennis talks to Douglas MacKinnon, former speechwriter for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. His new book is The 56: Liberty Lessons From Those Who Risked All to Sign The Declaration of Independence… Parents will do anything to keep the love of their children, including compromising their values.

| 0:38.8 | the subject or people innately good. I hope to put that up so that you can see it. If you didn't go |

| 1:04.8 | I think I need to do an ultimate issue now or not on the subject are people basically good. |
| 1:10.4 | But why do people want to believe that? That is as much worthy of attention. |
| 1:18.2 | Why do people want to believe the obviously wrong? Of course, I don't believe people are innately |
| 1:25.6 | evil either. We can go in either direction, but we're not basically good as the more important |
