Personal Anecdotes, Language Learning, and Political Ideological Struggles

Nate is joined on this episode by Conservative MP Arnold Viersen. They talk about his legislation to protect people on porn platforms, his social conservative views and advocacy on abortion, and the role of social conservatism in today’s Conservative Party.

However, Arnold had introduced a petition to protect the preborn in early May, and has a history of advocacy against abortion.

Arnold emailed Nate to say he felt ambushed and that he would not have come on the podcast.
