I'm Dan Bongino. Folks, one of the evergreen themes

of now the many years I've been doing this show has been the left's war on objective truth. And without trying to sound overly intellectual about it, which is unnecessary, it's the left's war on reality. The left's war on facts, the left's war on data. And I've,

I've, it's, I don't mean to get too wonky on the show, but this is critical that you understand this, that there is a reason conservatives believe in objective truths and that liberals don't. And the reason is very simple. Get ready for it. Keep this.

Don't ever, ever forget this. Add this to my golden rules, Joe. Maybe this is number five. Joe's got the last somewhere. Yeah. It's an informal list. The entire essence of leftism, liberalism, collectivism, and socialism is the idea that you will take orders and your commands from government officials. You get it? I'm trying to make this very simple.

Yep. And in order to do that, you have to acknowledge that they are the anointed ones. They are superior to you in intellect, in planning abilities. That's their whole reason for being. You people are too stupid. You're the deplorable idiots. We're the smart people in government. We went to Harvard. You're morons and you should listen to us because we know better. In order to do that, sometimes these liberals at the top of the totem pole of power and liberalism, they have to wipe out objective truths because everything has to be subject to their subjective judgment.

If that was overly complicated, I'm deeply sorry. But it is an important point. You have to be subjected to their judgment. There can be no objective truth. Why? Because then their judgment doesn't matter. It's a war. You get that? Joe and I have been talking about this since the beginning,

since my basement in Saverna Park, when this show had 100 listeners and we thought we made it big. It's a war. It's a war, figuratively, with reality. So I saw this piece at the Wall Street Journal this morning. I thought, here we go again. Wall Street Journal. The Equality Act is at war with

reality. I call it the Inequality Act. Every child knows the difference between mom and dad, but Congress seeks to outlaw the distinction. Ladies and gentlemen, if there was ever, ever an objective truth, it's that human beings are born one of two genders. This was never controversial in human history until liberals got a hold of it and they were like, wait, what? Objective truth, we can't have that. We have to, I'm not kidding.

Oh man, I'd throw this at the screen if I could to emphasize to you how important it is you understand this. Any objective truth, no matter how obvious to liberals, has to be wiped out because they want you to trust their subjective judgment. Anything, even the idea that there are two sexes. This piece is wonderfully, wonderfully written. Here's the first screencap from the piece where the author talks about how they must, the liberals, must eliminate distinction between the sexes. Again, because it's an objective truth. They can't have that. Says, quote, for modern revolutionaries, it wasn't enough to go after civilization,

its traditions, values, and class distinctions. They had to revolt against human nature itself. That, according to the philosopher Augusto Del Noce, was the chief target of the sexual revolution when it severed the link between sex and generation. But as the Marxist feminist, Shalemith Firestone said decades ago, that's not enough. Listen to this, folks.

Listen, listen, this is important. Marxism here. The end goal must be the elimination of the sex distinction itself. The revolution is now at our doorstep. to before I did a real deep dive into what collectivism and socialism was all about. A lot of you say to yourself, like, how crazy is this going to get? Are one day they're going to, are they going to ignore the very biological chromosomal differences between male and female human beings? Yes, we're here right now. Why the constant attacks on people of faith, by the way, who believe this, that God created males and females distinct from each other? Because folks, people of faith

are the last guardians of truth. Collectivists, leftists are the enemies of truth. Truth requires it to be objective. Joe, if it's true, correct, it means it's true to everyone. Yes. That makes it the truth.

That's the truth. The left can't have... That's the truth. The left can't have objective truth. Because if there's an objective truth, there's nothing they can do subjectively to impose their judgment upon you because it won't change that objective truth.

So they have to wipe it out. This second screenshot from this piece is an absolute gem. It's a quote by G.K. Chesterton. It says, why then invoke religious freedom? Because those who believe in the invisible order are now the last custodians of the visible one. G.K. Chesterton predicted this more than a century ago. Listen to this quote about how all objective truth will be denied. Religious people who believe in objective truth, God-given rights, all of that stuff, it's objective. There's no judgment involved. Everybody has God-given rights. They will be wiped out. Listen to this quote about how everything will be denied.

Quote, everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed. It is a reasonable position to deny the stones in the street. It'll be religious dogma to assert them. Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer. We shall be left defending not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible still,

this huge impossible universe which stares us in the face. Here we go. That prediction's at your doorstep now. Here we go. That prediction's at your doorstep now. Religious folks, religion and faith being blamed for immutable human truths. Oh, that's a religious belief that there's a male and a female. It is?

I thought it was just a simple act of fact and science and reality. Everything will be denied.
