i read a brilliant piece from sarah hyde. She says that islamists are deliberately using our belief that being offended or being offensive is wrong to cover up for the fact that, in their world view, is not causing offence. In other words, it's about blaspheming. It's not about being offensive. And this is something that is being used against us because we've become so pathetic and defending our own values of free speech. Got be careful that we do not allow people who hate everything we stand for to use our own stupidity against us. I don't know if you manat on the show. i'd like to get hern trigonometry.

Shermer and Kisin discuss: growing up in Russia • “The Talk” Russian parents give their children • What is the “West” and how do Russians view it • Should Whites feel some guilt for slavery, racism, misogyny, bigotry, etc.? • systemic racism: criminal justice, housing, employment, income, wealth • Critical Race Theory (CRT) • immigration • free, private, and public speech • how language is used to distort truth • the origin of “political correctness” • journalism vs. activism • capitalism • and how the West could be lost.
