New Atheists Awakening
00:02:11

||
| Hey guys, it's been a little while since I've done one of these walk-in talks. | ||
| So first off, a couple updates. | ||
| Number one, looks like our OraTV debut Reuben Report on OraTV will be September 9th. | ||
| They're building an awesome set. | ||
| I'm really excited to show you guys the set and everything that we're going to be up to. | ||
| Really cool. | ||
| Number two, it looks like We are going to the Republican debate on September 16th. | ||
| Yeah, if they let me in, it looks like we're going. | ||
| So we got some cool stuff planned for that. | ||
| And now what I wanted to talk about today was the reaction to the videos that we did with Gadsad. | ||
| About a week and a half ago right now. | ||
| I thought the response was absolutely freaking incredible. | ||
| I think there is an actual awakening going on in the left. | ||
| This thing that I was talking about with political correctness and you know restraining from free speech and all this other bullshit and lying and smearing | ||
| people and all of this stuff that has had me so frustrated for like eight or | ||
| ten months. The reaction to it in the YouTube comments look right down | ||
| below in any of those videos and on Twitter what I was getting on Facebook people | ||
| were emailing me and you got to do a little research if you're gonna find my | ||
| email address and the reaction was amazing people were saying this is what I've | ||
| been waiting for people that are on the left that are trying to stand up | ||
| for liberal principles for gay rights and women's rights and economic | ||
| equality and all the things that liberals purport to believe in we're finally | ||
| saying wow somebody's actually saying this and on top of everything else you know | ||
| this thing about atheists that somehow atheists | ||
| have been under attack. | ||
| And as I said in the interview with Gad, atheists hold no power. | ||
| Atheists, there's this whole idea that these new atheists are so awful. | ||
| These new atheists, as my friend Kyle Kalinske said, new atheists are just atheists that are finally saying they're okay with being atheists. | ||
| Atheists have pretty much been on the good side of everything and believe in science and reason and all that stuff. | ||
| Anyway, my point in this is that there is an awakening going on. | ||
| This is what the internet can do. | ||
| I can feel it. | ||
| And I think you guys can feel it too, and that's why the response was so good. | ||
| So let's keep saying the things we believe in. | ||
| Keep standing up for what's right. | ||
| Stand up for reason and rationality and those liberal principles. | ||
| And then how about, and we'll start dragging the people on the left that have gone off the deep end, how about we bring them back to sanity? | ||
