Episode notes
America's Indecent Age
- America is in a deeply indecent age where cruelty is prized and projected from the top.
- We must stop glorifying indecency before discussing a new golden age.
Masculinity and Cruelty
- A cruel version of masculinity has risen due to the left's rejection of 'toxic masculinity.'
- Absence of mature masculinity leaves space for insecure, braggy displays as seen in MAGA followers.

- Democrats lack a clear opposition leader amidst a dangerous, coherent right-wing force centered on Trump.
