=== Tyranny Is the Norm (02:23) ===

[00:00:00]  You know, there are a lot of us, my dear friends, there are a lot of us who know the difference between good and evil, between fragile freedom and tyranny.
[00:00:13]  Tyranny is the norm, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:00:15]  The left is normal.
[00:00:19]  We who want American values are less normal.
[00:00:23]  It goes against human nature to want to be free.
[00:00:28]  People love being told what to do.
[00:00:31]  Love it.
[00:00:33]  My question about people with their blind obedience, like to masks, I'd like to, or not visiting dying parents, but I'll leave that one aside.
[00:00:50]  I'd like to know if they were raised in strict or non-strict homes.
[00:01:00]  I have a theory.
[00:01:01]  I have a theory on a lot of things, as you know.
[00:01:03]  It's one of the reasons you listen, to be honest.
[00:01:08]  So here's a theory.
[00:01:11]  If you have proper instruction and discipline from your parents, you grow up wanting freedom.
[00:01:27]  If you grow up...
[00:01:29]  With no direction from parents, no guardrails or minimal, you seek what you didn't have when you were a child to be told what to do.
[00:01:43]  And I have evidence for it.
[00:01:46]  We identify conservative parenting with strictness, and we identify liberal parenting with looseness.
[00:01:55]  Correct or not?
[00:01:56]  With permissiveness. - Yes.
[00:02:03]  So you sort of make fodder for the totalitarians when you raise kids like that.

=== Pro-Vaccine Daughter's Struggle (01:50) ===

[00:02:10]  People want to be told what is right and wrong.
[00:02:14]  I admit it.
[00:02:16]  But the one who tells me what's right and wrong is God.
[00:02:19]  So I am free with regard to men.
[00:02:27]  My dream is that you, who have governmental positions, leave me alone.
[00:02:33]  I am mature enough to lead a good life without you, without your money, without your directions.
[00:02:44]  I'd like to set my own temperature in my house.
[00:02:47]  Just little things like that.
[00:02:50]  A woman was on Tucker Carlson, whose daughter She was so pro-vaccine, this woman, that she allowed her daughter to be one of the test cases for the vaccine for Pfizer.
[00:03:05]  The daughter is in horrible shape.
[00:03:07]  Can't sit up straight.
[00:03:09]  Her stomach is ruined.
[00:03:13]  The daughter is...
[00:03:16]  I pray the daughter will be okay one day, but this is a while now.
[00:03:22]  This pro-vaccine woman...
[00:03:24]  Good-hearted soul joined a Facebook community of people who had negative responses to the COVID vaccine.
[00:03:37]  A place to talk to one another, to commiserate, to give information.
[00:03:42]  Facebook closed it down.
[00:03:48]  You cannot stay kind and be on the left.
[00:03:51]  It is not possible.
[00:03:52]  You can be a liberal in kind, a conservative in kind, but leftism makes you cruel.
