La La, la, oh, oh, oh, oh, everybody, time for stand a reason.

Great Kokel here, and glad you joined us.

I appreciate that.

I'm still in a little bit of a glow at my heart for this wonderful conversation I had with Rod Dreher.

That was the last show, right?

I enjoy that so much.

And that issue is so important because it's happening all around us

and we need to be prepared and by the way some people are thinking and I understand

this with the change in leadership in Washington, this is going to make a huge difference

in the kinds of concerns that many conservatives have been concerned about in the past.

Don't count on it, and this isn't a criticism of the present administration.

It's just that there are so many things happening and so many things going on and so many rivers

to feed this broader concern of totalitarianism that, and when I say that, I'm using the words,

the word advisedly, I'm not just throwing out rhetoric or I'm not being demagogic to scare people.

We've seen these trends. And actually, as I mentioned last hour in 2020 or no, 2021, I had

every solid ground for that year was somewhat related to that, especially evening news and what,

the CRT one, which is called, I can't remember the title right now, something upside down,

civil rights upside down, and freedom fading. Now, these things

have been in place for a long time, and they're well documented. They're not just charges against

a political system that I may not agree with, all right? That's called demigodgery. This is not what I'm doing.

It's not rhetoric.

And so I encourage you to read those articles again, but certainly get Rod Dreher's book, Live Not By Lies.
