And happy Monday. I'm Steve Dase. We're live and on demand on the blaze. Todd and Aaron

are here with me as well. 8 to 8, 933, 93 is the number keep it handy. We are going to open

up the phone lines coming up in hour two of the show. We're going to have a little thought

experiment here today. One, I want to get your reaction to a couple of questions I'm going

to ask you. And then I want to know how a culture at war with itself, struggling with basic

definitions, basic terms, basic values that all the previous generations that preserved

this greatest civilization in human history for us just accepted as givens. We are now

debating. And these two questions get right to the heart of some of those debates. So how

would people you know that are skeptical of these traditions? How would they answer these

questions? We're going to get into that and more coming up in hour two, 8 to 8, 933,

until then you can let us know what you think about what we think via the SteveDase.com

inbox by emailing the program Steve at SteveDase.com. That's D-E-A-C-E for those of you listening

today on blaze radio or the podcast. You can like us on Facebook, but you need to like

us there a lot, like a whole lot. And maybe one of them will actually count because we're

shadow band. And you can follow us on Twitter at SteveDase show coming up later in this hour.

We'll continue our weekly book study on my new book Truthbombs confronting the lies,

conservatives believe to our own demise. But we begin as we always do with Aaron's rundown

of what happened while we were away. What happened while we were away brought to you by

hitting the eject button. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirsten Nielsen is stepping

down from her post. Her tenure as DHS secretary was rocky to say the least. And it ends as an

uptick in illegal aliens crossing the border as a left border patrol almost helpless.
