Erin Friday and Jonathan Zachreson discuss protecting children from reproductive harm, parental rights, and female spaces in California. Topics include anti-lockdown movement's overlap with opposition to gender ideology, initiatives to address parental rights and school safety, the controversy of transgender students in schools, battle for parental rights, concerns over lowering the age of consent, and the importance of taking action.

The Distributist and Wokal Distance debate tensions between the center-right and far-right. They explore the relevance of Enlightenment ideas, the tensions between liberals and new reactionaries, and the controversy surrounding Acort's firing. They discuss the significance of identity in political fights, gatekeeping on the right, forced integration and cultural compatibility in immigration, and the concerns of Jewish people. The speakers also touch on recognizing cultural differences, fixing universities, exploring offensive ideas, and the concept of 'no enemies to the right'. They examine the relationship between postmodernism, atheism, and the death of God, the role of neutrality in government and education, and the value of cultural grounding and tradition. The decline of music and the importance of multicultural spaces are also discussed.

Jaco van Zyl, Clinical Psychologist and South African expat to Ireland, discusses the transition from dignity culture to victim culture, the impact of victimhood on society, the concept of 'too good mothering', the power of guilt and dangers of privilege, society's permissiveness, and the influence of critical social justice on therapy.

Former worker in a gender clinic, Jamie Reed, and LGBT advocate, Aaron Kimberly, challenge the rush to transition minors. They discuss the lack of evidence and its impact on youth health care. The speakers explore the importance of a supportive environment, share challenges in providing gender medicine, and advocate for more exploration of gender identity without solely relying on medical interventions. The LGBT Courage Coalition aims to rework standard practices and promote dialogue within the LGBTQ+ community.
