Ross Douthat

Thank you.

And this weekend, CBS News will have more on that Michigan Senate race when 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat speaks with Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers at Sunday night on 60 Minutes.

And we go to Toronto now, where a group of men with guns and a hammer broke into a mansion overnight and attacked the family there inside.

CBS's Lily Luciano has details.

But from Andreessen's point of view, he was getting like he was bothered by the fact that he couldn't control his staff to the way that he used to be able to.

In an interview that he gave with The New York Times, Ross Douthat, who now works at 60 Minutes, sort of conservative columnist at The New York Times, I was really surprised.

And Dreesen said, this is in 2025, the children of the elites, the most privileged people in society, the most successful, send their kids to the most politically radical institutions which teach them how to be America-hating communists.

Wow.

In many ways, the internet is taking apart even Protestant churches in America.

Although as Ross Douthat recently wrote in the Free Press, It continues to be the case that even though Roman Catholics are capturing elites, American evangelicalism continues to be poised for all of its trade-offs as the church that will continue to engage the majority of the American and in many ways the world population downstream of the American empire.

So that led to the talk that I gave and sort of the intermingling of the questions of the TLC in what we're doing with playing with estuary.

So that's how I saw the conference.

Will the departure of this church inspire some other growing lively Methodist churches to try to hit the exit doors, even though they know it's two to three years after that open-door period ended? And will it inspire similar departures among Presbyterians, Lutherans, and other people who, according to the laws on the books in their denominations, are not supposed to be able to jump out and take their clergy, their pensions, their trust funds, and their land and buildings with them?

You know that Ross Douthat has written something adjacent to this subject recently.

What did he say?

Yeah, you wouldn't know that it would be related to this particular story unless you read between the lines.

Or another one, I'll give you an example.

And I know Ross Douthat in his book Belief took this on, right? Historically, you'd have phenomena where people would see Mary or something, a vision of Mary, and thousands of them would have it.

And contemporary materialist historians will dismiss that as a kind of mass delusion.

But if a thousand people testify to what happened at the Battle of this – you know, in the same year, we take that as exceptional evidence towards it.

What's interesting, an interesting argument.

This was, you know, in a column by Ross Douthat this week.

You know, if they they view those candidates as their moderates, And they lose.

Is the lesson going to be that we should nominate actual centrists and moderates, or is it going to be let's lean in even harder to our extreme far left base? And so it's going to be interesting, I think, to see based on what happens on Tuesday.
