I was on for the whole 40-minute segment. We had a lot of time to delve into "The Acceptance Con": why a misguided tolerance leads to an intolerable future.
Unlike in the past, you don't have to do anything but click the start button.
For those interested, here's the essay that was the show's focus: "The Acceptance Con." I consider it one of the most important pieces I've ever written.

“White lightning, I presume…,” quipped an observer. This was one reaction to reports that a lightning strike destroyed a large Ohio mural honoring George Floyd. Another reaction, among “those who see the Hand of God in extraordinary natural phenomena,” as commentator Thomas Lifson put it, is that it’s “divine retribution.”

Some commentators have long pointed out that what’s euphemistically called “American immigration policy” is actually a massive voter-importation racket. If our (im)migrants voted Republican by the margins they do Democrats — 70 to 90 percent — these observers aver, our southern border would be impenetrable down to the molecular level. Now these critics have what they might call Exhibit A for their thesis:
The open-borders Biden administration announced on Tuesday, in so many words, that Cuban and Haitian refugees need not apply.
At the same time, there’s a shocking report that the administration has been using the military to secretly fly border-jumping illegal aliens into America’s interior.

It goes without saying that if you need to use an automated translation service such as Google Translate, you can’t personally know if the translation is correct. Of course, we assume that translation missteps are limited to the odd grammar and word usage manifesting themselves when a computer (the ultimate nerd) translates one sometimes illogical human language into another sometimes illogical human language. But what if some “missteps” were Machiavellian attempts to censor information via artificial intelligence? How would you know?

“The only thing that we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history,” remarked German philosopher Georg Hegel. This comes to mind when considering polls showing that young people are increasingly taking a dim view of “capitalism” and that socialism has gained popularity. It’s a trend that may augur a dystopian socialist future for the United States unless, avers one writer, economic freedom’s apologists go beyond materialist appeals and make a moral case for their beliefs.

Move over Drag Queen Story Hour. You’re no longer alone: The “Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey” has now made an appearance at a children’s event — courtesy of adults who grew corrupt but never up.
No, this isn’t bad satire, sadly. Such a character did actually appear at a Redbridge Libraries Summer Reading Challenge event at Goodmayes Library in east London in (once) Great Britain. A Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey is just what it sounds like, too: a man in a rainbow colored, bare-bottomed costume with a prosthetic phallus.

Fascism founding father Benito Mussolini once summarized his ideology thus: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” This comes to mind when considering that the Democrat establishment has been doing an end run around the First Amendment, using Big Tech as a proxy to stifle dissenting views. Now there’s a new front in this battle, too:
The Biden administration is calling on SMS (Short Message Service) carriers to monitor and “fact check” text messages for vaccine “misinformation.”
