Summary

Today we're talking to our new friend across the pond, Calvin Robinson. He's a longtime educator, broadcaster, and political commentator who was well on his way to being ordained by the Church of England until the powers that be decided he was just too conservative for them. His intolerable belief? Simply that England and the church are not systemically racist. Robinson tells the full story, and we discuss the effect that leftism has had on the U.K. in other areas like the response to COVID and gun control. You'll find that wokeness in England is pretty much the same destructive force as it is in America — liberals are free to loudly espouse their beliefs while conservatives are asked to keep quiet about things. You'll definitely want to stick around for the full conversation, because at the end of the interview Robinson tells us how he really feels about Meghan Markle and the effect she's had on the royal family. --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles — use promo code 'ALLIEB' to save 20% off your first order at CarlyJeanLosAngeles.com!

0:36.8	The reason I wanted to talk to him today is because he was rejected for a position
