Hey, welcome to Politics by Faith, brought to by the Patriot Cold Cook.

We had a really interesting moment in the show today.

Eddie from Massachusetts, Coleman.

It all built to this.

So let me give a quick review.

We started off talking about Alexis de Tocqueville and how when he came to America in 1831 and wrote in 1835, Democracy in America, he talked about what tyranny will look like in this free country we call America.

Now, here we are 200 years later, and he was spot on.

That turned into a conversation about personal responsibility.

We've talked a lot about Make America healthy again lately on the show and it's great you talk about RFK getting rid of

food dies and all these other things okay but that has its limits that's let's just say

half of the equation we can debate over what percent it is but let's say

half there's another half if we really want to make the difference that needs to be made so sure

we can take the red dye 40 out of fruit loops but also maybe we shouldn't eat fruit loops

you would me it would take the red dye out of it but also maybe we shouldn't eat fruit loops. You with me? We'll take the red dye out of it, but also like we shouldn't eat at all. So, so that's when, what could happen is we take the red dye out of fruit loops and then we just eat a bunch of fruit loops still. Are we going to be healthier? No, maybe, I guess. But not really. We're not going to be healthy.

Maybe we'll be healthier, but we're not going to be healthy.

So that got into a conversation about hillbile allergy

and some tough love that J.D. Vance, our next vice president,

gave us in that book.

He wrote, we read a bunch, but let's do this.

J.D. said psychologists call it learned helplessness.

When a person believes, as I did during my youth, that the choices I made had no effect on the

outcomes of my life.
