    Profoundly disturbing right wing rhetoric and distortion mixed with Christofascism. Hard pass.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Constitutional Convention Concerns
Q: What problem is there with our current Constitution that needs to be changed?
The guest argues that there isn't a real problem with the Constitution itself; the danger lies in using Article 5 to convene a broad convention that could rewrite or undermine key rights, potentially serving progressive agendas or diluting safeguards like the Second Amendment.
Civilization Jihad
Q: What does the Quran say about peace versus war in relation to non-believers?
The guest argues that certain verses depict war and suppression of infidels, framing this as evidence that Islam is inherently combative and that peaceful coexistence is not the primary message of the faith according to his readings.
“Guilty” of Hate Speech
Q: What is your current path regarding asylum in the United States and what considerations are involved?
Whatcott describes asylum filings with the Pacific Justice Institute, discussing the political and legal climate in both countries and the risk of return to Canada due to prosecution for speech acts tied to his activism.
“Guilty” of Hate Speech
Q: How do you describe the legal outcomes of your cases in Canada and what impact do you believe they have on religious speech?
He explains that his first trial resulted in acquittal due to truth as a defense, but later cases involved convictions that he argues reflect shifting legal standards and increased restrictions on religiously motivated anti-LGBTQ statements.
Remembering 9/11 - 25 Years Later
Q: What happened on that morning from your perspective?
Jefferson recounts the hijacking, the conversation with Beamer, and the moments leading to the passengers' attempt to overpower the hijackers, as well as the emotional aftermath and her role in delivering messages to Beamer's wife.
