Watch the full episode here:
- 00:00
- Is there anything at all in DeYoung's Moscow Mood article that makes you think maybe he's got a point here?
- 00:06
- Is there anything at all to acknowledge as a fair critique that you could learn from? I would say he absolutely has a point, not maybe has a point.
- 00:14
- But this goes back to what I was saying earlier about speaking to tens of thousands of people.
- 00:20
- So the things that he's describing and the reactions that he's, possible reactions to things that we do,
- 00:28
- I don't have any doubt at all that he's seen those sorts of things with his own eyes. I wouldn't dispute the facts of the case.
- 00:35
- Is maybe the attribution? Well, no, it's what has to do is if there's 10 ,000 people and 150 of them reacted in this way, 1 ,200 reacted in this way.
- 00:46
- And remember the target, who am I writing for? Okay, I've got one person in mind and I've had that person in mind for three decades or more.
- 00:56
- This is who I'm always writing for. And Kevin DeYoung, he's under no obligation to write for my audience.
- 01:05
- He's writing for his audience, right? And when what I say lands wrong with someone
- 01:11
- I wasn't writing for, that might be a collateral damage thing that I regret, or it might,
- 01:17
- I might not mind ticking that person off, but I'm not, I was not attempting that.
- 01:22
- When he says, here's the, here's a problem with what Wilson's doing. And he describes what's happening over here.
- 01:28
- I don't have any problem accepting that. Yes. I think that it's not just, maybe he has a point.
