Hey, folks, I want to do something different on today's show. We're going to cover one topic in depth.

That topic is, I think, the most important thing happening in the country. It was a hot topic

last week, but I wanted to take some time to really gather my thoughts and speak on it in coherent

fashion, holistic fashion. That topic is the fragmentation of the political right.

That fragmentation is being caused purposefully by a splinter faction of people led by a young man named Nick Fentes. They call

themselves the Groypers. They are white supremacists. They hate women, Jews, Hindus, many types

of Christians, brown people of a wide variety of backgrounds, blacks, America's foreign policy, and

America's constitution. They admire Hitler and Stalin. And that splinter faction is now being facilitated and

normalized within the mainstream Republican Party. The main agent in that normalization is Tucker

Carlson, who is an intellectual coward, a dishonest interlocutor, and a terrible friend.

And Tucker Carlson last week was aided, abetted, celebrated for normalizing Nazism

Foundation.

coercion. I believe in it, of course. I've always defended it. Criticism of bad speech is in fact

just a form of free speech. Cancellation also has a definition, the banning of particular people,

including people like Nick Flentes,

from platforms like X or Facebook. I believe that Nick Flentes is odious and despicable,

but I've never called for his cancellation, and in fact, I've called for his restoration to those services, despite the fact that I think he's odious and despicable. It is not cancellation
