I mean I think Charlie did, right, 96 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 8: I mean, Charlie was the at the center of this 97 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 8: new Internet form of politics and all of us we're 98 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 8: getting our content even like some of these guys they 99 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 8: are my friends. 100 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 7: Like when I learned. 101 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 8: Something about politics, often it's I see one of your guys' videos, 102 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 8: send it to a buddy, they send it to me. 103 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 7: You know, everything is based on that. 104 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 8: But then also you have the negative of that, which 105 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 8: is the memes, right like you get you have all 106 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,039 Speaker 8: these things, you know, you cirkified memes, the everything, and 107 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 8: it's you know, some of it's funny, but some of 108 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 8: it's it's like making light of just horrific things. 109 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 12: And we should expand on what you mean by that. 110 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 11: So Charlie, since his death, has become, to my understanding, 111 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 11: like a stock meme character. 112 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 12: Practically, it's disgusting. 113 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 6: You can't you can't scroll Instagram reels without every fifth 114 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 6: video seeing a picture of Charlie Kirk throwing out a 115 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 6: hat with a gambling advertisement on his shirt, like it's disgusting. 116 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 6: It makes me scroll past that immediately. But I think 117 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 6: it's awful that they've just totally tried to materialize this good. 118 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 4: It's fascinating because it's almost like they're desensitizing you to 119 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 4: the fact that what happened right, because he's gone. He 120 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 4: got assassinated. Been it like the memes in it being 121 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 4: out there and the jokes that are made, it desensitizes 122 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 4: the public too that it actually happened. 123 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: And that's seen in other. 124 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 4: Areas of politics as well, I believe, where it's like 125 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: there's just memes and memes and memes, and it's almost 126 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 4: it's like, because you see it so much, you're just 127 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 4: used to it. 128 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: Well, I think this is really powerful what you're saying, 129 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 3: because I believe one of the reasons Charlie was assassinated 130 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 3: was because, you know, Lance Twigs, Tyler Robinson, their larger 131 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 3: friend group. We often talk about this video by Turkey 132 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 3: Tom that dives into their lived experience, and I think 133 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: it was very memeified. 134 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: I think it was very disassociative of real morality and real. 135 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 3: Lived experience, IRL life, you know, versus the meme culture 136 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 3: where things become disconnected from the real world consequences. This 137 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: is why I think we just found out that he 138 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 3: came back to his home crying and saying you wish 139 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 3: you wouldn't have done it, because it was an instant 140 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 3: confrontation with reality that I think the young people like 141 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 3: you are being steeped in memes jokes that is disassociated. 142 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: So to ask you guys to elaborate. 143 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 12: So we say you're in this very online stuff. 144 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 11: How first of all, what actual social networks are you 145 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 11: using X rayss, Instagram versus TikTok And then as a 146 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 11: follow up, is this mostly being shared then via are 147 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 11: you just in a bunch of group chats? And are 148 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 11: those people you mostly know in real life or is 149 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 11: it heavily people you know online? 150 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: This is a great question. Yeah, let's just go around 151 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: the horn. I want to hear from everybody. 152 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 10: I could start off, so I'm on Instagram. Sometimes I'll 153 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 10: go on YouTube shorts, but mainly Instagram and TikTok. I 154 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 10: am on x but that's just for political purposes. Most 155 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 10: of the people that these reels come from are through 156 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 10: my Instagram reels or stuff that I send to friends 157 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 10: that I have in real life. Very few are in 158 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 10: group chats and it's kind of just you know, you 159 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 10: shroll your network. I know most of my algorithm is 160 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 10: either short form content talking about political discorse what's going on, 161 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 10: and few memes that are relatable. 162 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: So mostly dms to your friends in the app. Right, 163 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 3: So you use the Instagram, okay, and most of them, 164 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: you know, Okay, what about you. 165 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 13: I am primarily on Instagram. 166 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 9: That's kind of my primary platform, and everything I see 167 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 9: that relates to that just comes through the algorithm. I 168 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 9: don't necessarily know the people who are posting them. Which 169 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 9: is the most concerning thing to me is because we 170 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 9: don't know who these people are, and we know that 171 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 9: these social media platforms can get extremely addictive.

But 275 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 8: I also think it's somewhat of a mockery. I think 276 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 8: that you know, we hold Charlie to such a high value, 277 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 8: and also, like you know, Turning Point is making so 278 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 8: many posts honoring Charlie. We're conveying his message, and I 279 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 8: think the left their way to respond, because they're completely unproper, 280 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 8: is to. 281 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 7: Just try to mock it as much as possible. How 282 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 7: do you do that? 283 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 8: You make an AI photo of him with Epstein. That's 284 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 8: that's the way they find to mock him. I mean 285 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 8: it's ridiculous. 286 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, it goes to the desensitization. I think people 287 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 5: see these things and even if there's not really any 288 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 5: value or meaning behind them, people will see jokes made 289 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 5: about Charlie. That's that's the big one we've been talking 290 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 5: about here. But Epstein did he like we're all. 291 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 2: Talking about and there's not there's not value behind it. 292 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 5: But when people see that, it becomes more inger in 293 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 5: their minds, I think, and just when they interact with 294 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 5: serious topics in the real world, some of that unthoughtfulness, 295 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 5: let's say, seeps into their own reactions in real life. 296 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 5: And I think that's where we've got some concerns. 297 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 3: It's blurring of reality, it is, it's selling sort of 298 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 3: confusion implied. 299 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: You talk about brainwashing as the word it. 300 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: Over time, you could see how this would start to 301 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: kind of like seep into somebody's actual thinking. 302 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, And it's like with Epstein, right, Epstein was 303 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 4: a horrible person, right, what he did was inhumane, horrible, 304 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 4: But the memes they almost normalize who he is, and 305 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 4: so when people think of him, it's like they think 306 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 4: of the memes and his island and things like that. 307 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 4: They don't so much think about how bad of a person. 308 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: He was well, and by juxtaposing him to Charlie, who 309 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: was a tremendous human, an American martyr and a Christian martyr, 310 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: and juxtaposing him with Epstein, it's almost you're almost conveying 311 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 3: some of Charlie's goodness on Epstein and conveying some of 312 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: Epstein's evilness onto Charlie. So you're sort of blurring everything 313 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: and melding it into one. 314 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 10: Le necessarily think that anybody who's perpetuating these means or 315 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 10: creating these memes ever intended it to be this way. 316 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 10: We all live in a digital age, and a lot 317 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 10: of people who may not be super involved like we 318 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 10: are in real life, they kind of just take the 319 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 10: stuff that they see online. They take the elections, and 320 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 10: they take the one clip liners, and they don't understand. 321 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 14: That this is real life. 322 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 10: They can tell you that they think it's real life, 323 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 10: but they don't actually understand the gravity of the situation. 324 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 14: And so a situation like Epstein. 325 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 10: Or p Didy or the public murder of Charlie, it 326 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 10: all just comes off as something they sell online and 327 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 10: it can all blend together in their head. And sometimes 328 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 10: I think that are just because of every that's happened 329 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 10: in our lifetimes. Obviously, everybody goes through something in their lifetime, 330 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 10: but like ours, with it all being digitally recorded and 331 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 10: all this stuff coming out through the twenty four hour 332 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 10: news cycle through social media, that they don't necessarily take 333 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 10: it as seriously as they should, and it just turns 334 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 10: into memes and jokes and it's never taken seriously. 335 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 9: And if I may touch on that real quick, and 336 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 9: you guys told me if I'm wrong, But I think 337 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 9: within the past past five years, specifically, you know, we've 338 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 9: lived through COVID, and I think we've seen a huge 339 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 9: decrease in morality over the past five years. I think 340 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 9: COVID was a big factor in that, because all of 341 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 9: a sudden, people were staying at home, they were not 342 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 9: seeing their family members, they were not seeing their friends, 343 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 9: and they were scrolling they were on TikTok Instagram, and 344 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 9: I think that had a huge effect because just to be. 345 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 3: Clear, you guys were all about twelve, correct, and that's 346 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 3: a dangerous age to be on social media. 347 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 9: I think everyone could agree that, you know, a twelve 348 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 9: yearl probably shouldn't be squirrelling. 349 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 2: You all were on social media access to. 350 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 15: Alady, I'm very grateful I wasn't at the time. 351 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 6: Yes, I was listening to audio books during COVID and 352 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 6: it's going on walks. 353 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: That's why you. 354 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 14: Yah. 355 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I wasn't too engaged personally in social media. 356 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 5: But the thing is, even if you yourself are not 357 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 5: on social media, you still get a lot of that 358 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 5: concept just by osmosis, because all your friends, all the 359 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 5: people around you are, and they're so heavily engaged in 360 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 5: it that it's almost impossible to avoid. 361 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a it's a really good point. 362 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 8: And like for me tabling, when I'm doing activism events 363 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 8: with Turning Point and going out into the community, I'll 364 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 8: have students come up to me and like start like 365 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 8: reciting like phrases from like Charlie kirk memes like I 366 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 8: don't know if you've heard. 367 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 7: Like the ai AI songs. 368 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Like there's there's all these different things, and 369 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 8: they'll come up to me and they'll be like Charlie, 370 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 8: Charlie Kirky and like say all these things, and it's 371 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 8: like you're letting this bleed not only into your feed, 372 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 8: but into your real life to the point where you'll 373 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 8: come up to a training point student and just start 374 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 8: resiting AI will slop. 375 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,479 Speaker 3: This is really interesting to me because you know, you know, 376 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 3: we're because of what we have to do on a 377 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: daily basis, we're constantly keeping track of the news, actual facts, 378 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 3: source information, reported information, which has a lot of factual 379 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 3: issues in and of itself, but at least there it 380 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 3: exists within a framework and a context where they get 381 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 3: checked by people, in fact checked by people. But it's 382 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 3: becoming apparent to me that with so much of this 383 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 3: like fake content just controlling your guys algorithms, you're probably 384 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 3: especially when you're tabling, you're confronting a lot of just nonsense, 385 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 3: a lot of like garbage that people probably assume is 386 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 3: real on some level, and it turns out. 387 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 2: It's just completely fabricated.

Like you 392 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 8: talk about like people like Nick Wednesday's, like they're in 393 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 8: their super chats on their podcasts talking about these memes 394 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 8: addressing this, you know, and it's it's that when you 395 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 8: see a real person then talking about it, not only 396 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 8: are you seeing these reels this AI slot, but you're 397 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 8: seeing real people talking about it and regurgitating it, and 398 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 8: it starts influencing and honestly, I think it's terrible. 399 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 7: It's starting to influence young men. 400 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 10: Especially in the most The scariest part about some of 401 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 10: these influencers is that it's not actual people watching their 402 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 10: entire live streams or their entire videos. They get clipped 403 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 10: and then people just find them funny. But when you're 404 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 10: perpetually watching that and it goes into your brain. We 405 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 10: know that biblically, what comes into your brain, what you hear, 406 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 10: what you consume, it turns your heart and it changes 407 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 10: your heart. 408 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 3: Okay, So I want to that you it's a good 409 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 3: transition point because we didn't establish this.

But it's definitely difficult. 500 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 5: Like we were talking about earlier, you know, social media 501 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 5: is so ingrained in so many of our peers' lives 502 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 5: that it's hard to avoid even when you really want to. 503 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think drive is something that really. 504 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 11: Ze. 505 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,959 Speaker 7: Yeah. So I think my family. 506 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 8: My family owned small businesses, and I've said to my 507 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 8: friends multiple times, Hey, if you guys are looking for 508 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 8: a summer job if you're interested. And I'll have friends 509 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 8: say to me, why would I work? 510 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 7: What is the purpose? 511 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 8: And I think that people have lost all ambition, they've 512 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 8: lost drive, they've lost a. 513 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 7: Sense of care. 514 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 8: It's all a sense that they don't they say, yeah, 515 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 8: they don't care. 516 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, they don't care about authority, they don't. 517 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 3: Like social media is literally turning your generation into. 518 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: Like mush, you go numb in your mind. Absolutely, yea. 519 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 11: Even the thought I've had since moving over this is 520 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 11: also that AI has exploded a lot in the last 521 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 11: few years. 522 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 12: What do you and people you know even plan to do? 523 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 11: Because I've had this thought where if I was giving 524 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 11: my sister's advice because they have young kids, I don't 525 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 11: know what I would tell them what their kids should study, 526 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 11: for example, because I don't know what will actually even 527 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 11: exist in ten years. 528 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, do you guys know what you want to do? 529 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 8: Do you? 530 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 2: Are you worried that what you want to do will 531 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 2: no longer be doable? No? Not quite think. 532 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 4: I think if my dad has always said this, he's like, 533 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 4: AI cannot replicate this. It can't do what we're doing 534 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 4: right now, right, And so I think what finds value 535 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 4: is to finding things that are going to be sought 536 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 4: after people's skills. Right yesterday when the speakers talking about 537 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 4: how AI, even if it takes some jobs, that's going 538 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 4: to raise the demand of other jobs, right, And so 539 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 4: it's specializing in things that are unique to you and 540 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 4: unique to humanity almost. 541 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 542 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 3: So but you have good parenting, you have good moral 543 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 3: framework from your faith and things like that. 544 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 2: Generally speaking, we're. 545 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 3: Talking about this sort of apathetic, mushy existence of just 546 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 3: being like glued to your digital device that's in your hand. 547 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: This blue light images. I'll probably never forget that. 548 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 3: Actually, it's a really powerful description of everybody in an 549 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 3: IRL environment where you're supposed to be looking at something 550 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 3: physical and yet. 551 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 2: They're all sploting heads. That's all I saw. 552 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a fascinating image. So drive this lack of it? 553 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 14: Is this? 554 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 3: Do you feel this as well, like when you're thinking 555 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: about your generation or do you still feel like there's 556 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 3: a lot of ambition. 557 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: When it comes to my generation. I'd say yes. When 558 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 2: it comes to me personally, no, okay. 559 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 6: And then on AI, like I want to go into politics, 560 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 6: so I don't think AI is going to be taking 561 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 6: my job there, But in terms of in terms of 562 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 6: a lot of the things that that job would require, 563 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 6: writing anything like that. I'm definitely scared that AI is 564 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 6: going to be taking over from that, Like if you 565 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 6: why would a company hire people to. 566 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 14: Do it when they can just have an AI to 567 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 14: do it. 568 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 6: And I think that also contributes to some of the 569 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 6: apathy of our generation because people use AI. People use 570 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 6: AI in school to do their homework, but then they also. 571 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 2: This is interesting. This is interesting. 572 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 3: So you asked the question like about AI and is 573 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 3: it contributing to apathy, and it sounds like the answer 574 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 3: is yes, but kind of in an backwards way because 575 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 3: it's not that they're going one to one. 576 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 2: Well, AI is just going to take my job. What's 577 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 2: the point. 578 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 3: It's they're probably like using it, and therefore it's like 579 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 3: contributing to this like overall kind of mush brain replacing 580 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 3: their thinking. 581 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 2: It's replacing their thinking. 582 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 8: Yes, But what's interesting about AI now is there this 583 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 8: new culture on the left specifically, like I mean, for 584 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 8: a builder, for someone that wants to innovate, AI is 585 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 8: truly the paint brush to the artist, right. AI is 586 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 8: something that's revolutionary for people, like for myself my chapter, 587 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 8: we actually have a vibe coded AI website that we 588 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 8: use for all of our meetings, for check ins for 589 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 8: different things. But the problem is now the left, they've 590 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 8: come up with this idea that AI is evil, data 591 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 8: centers are taking up our water, all these things, and 592 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 8: now they're pushing forward, don't use AI. 593 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 7: But what are these people gonna do? 594 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 8: What are they gonna do when the world changes and 595 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 8: they don't change with it. And now the left to 596 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 8: counteract like our new economy is saying, oh, we're not 597 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 8: going to use AI and we're going to sit around 598 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 8: and take welfare checks because they're unwilling to use AI 599 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 8: because it's immoral, don't I don't understand. 600 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 10: I think that when it comes to the AI, people 601 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 10: have always tried to find a way outside of doing 602 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 10: their work. I remember when my brother was my age 603 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 10: and my mom scolded him for copying a paper off online. 604 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 10: You know, people have always tried to find a way out, 605 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 10: especially our generation. And one thing, especially with my chapter, 606 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 10: that have been trying to focus on is why why 607 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 10: does it matter? 608 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 14: Obviously? 609 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: Why does what matter? 610 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 14: Anything matter? 611 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 10: Why does something belong in your life? Why should you 612 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 10: do something? You know, people we live in an age 613 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 10: now where you can almost put you can avoid any work. 614 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 10: People use online gambling to try to make money, People use, 615 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 10: you know, the use AI to do their work. They 616 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 10: think that that's how they're going to get in life, 617 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 10: is you know, pushing stuff off. But we live in 618 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 10: an age where you have to have a why for 619 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 10: something and you have to explain that why. Because when 620 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 10: you actually enjoy something, when you know the purpose of it, 621 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 10: you're not going to pass it off, but you're going 622 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 10: to take responsibility for it, and you're going to do 623 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 10: it with your heart. And that's what we need more of. 624 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 3: So like in a Broadway, just taking this the why 625 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 3: because I'm fascinated from a communications standpoint, right, Like we 626 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 3: do a daily show and we're explaining things, and I'm 627 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 3: realizing in this conversation that I'm taking certain presumed baseline 628 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 3: facts and assumptions. I'm taking them for granted with your generation. Right, 629 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 3: So if you were born in two thousand and eight, 630 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 3: it's almost like are you telling adults that you need 631 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 3: to re establish the why in almost everything? Like why 632 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 3: do we care that you know, housings affordable? Or why 633 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 3: do we care that the you know, the socialists don't. 634 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 2: Take over in New York and southern California. 635 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 3: Like, why is it worth getting out of bed? Why 636 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 3: is it worth pursuing a career? Why is it worth it? 637 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 3: Like is that kind of what you're saying, like basic fundamental, 638 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 3: Like you know, because I would have assumed, you know, 639 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 3: some semblance of ambition could be assumed in most people. 640 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 3: You're telling me that if you were born in two 641 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 3: thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, then maybe I 642 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 3: shouldn't have assumed. 643 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: That people like the idea of the end result, but 644 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: not the hard work. 645 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 5: And it's hard work and overcoming obstacles that drive development. 646 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 5: And when people avoid that hardship, they don't develop in 647 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 5: the same way. And that's I think a bit of 648 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 5: a scary prognosis for our generation and the future of 649 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 5: our country and the world. 650 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 2: Honestly. 651 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, So would you say that there's a lack of 652 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: ambition or is it unfocused? 653 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 2: Ambition? Unfocused? And what do they aspire to? If anyone? Yeah, 654 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 2: your what does your generation want? What do they want 655 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 2: out at? Success? 656 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 8: Fame? 657 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: Success fame? 658 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 14: Yea, social media fame? 659 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 3: Okay, social media fame clicks. Yeah, that's like the most 660 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 3: common ambition. 661 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 5: Maybe it's a searching for human connection off off that 662 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 5: because fame clicks that sort of thing. It's a sort 663 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 5: of people want to connect. They want to have a 664 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 5: group they can call their own and someplace they can 665 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 5: call family among other people. And a lot of people 666 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 5: are misguided in believing that being on social media often 667 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 5: is going to provide that. When it doesn't, it pulls 668 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 5: them further away from that. But the more they're involved 669 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 5: in that social media, the less they realize that, and 670 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 5: it just continues. 671 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think because you have to go ahead. 672 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 6: I'm just going to say you have to take the 673 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 6: step off of social media. Maybe social media is a 674 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 6: great tool for connecting with people around you, But if 675 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 6: that's all it is, and you just stay sending reels 676 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 6: back and forth and you never actually have a human interaction, 677 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 6: you've gained virtually nothing. 678 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 9: Social media is a good tool when you use it right. 679 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 9: But we grew up in a way where, you know, 680 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 9: my parents didn't have experience with social media, so I 681 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 9: didn't have like an Instagram teacher who was like, use 682 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 9: this responsibly. Yeah, So when we were just thrown into 683 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 9: COVID as twelve year old kids, it's like this is 684 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 9: the only way we can have a human connection now. 685 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 9: That kind of formulated our minds, and I get a 686 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 9: lot of hope being here because I'm surrounded around a 687 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 9: lot of like minded people. Yeah, and it gives me 688 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 9: a lot of motivation to keep moving forward. But I 689 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 9: think my generation is missing that because we grew up 690 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 9: in a way where we had no one educating us 691 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 9: on how to have human connection when you can't see 692 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 9: people face to face. 693 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 11: There's been proposals lately in the US and other countries 694 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 11: to essentially ban kids sixteen or under or eighteen under 695 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 11: from a lot of social media websites or heavily newter 696 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 11: what they're able to see and receive or catachen basically 697 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 11: heavily regulate social media for people who are minors. 698 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 2: Do you guys agree? I big concern for that, actually. 699 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 5: I think that when you take that away, people just 700 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 5: want it more and there will always be workarounds. There 701 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 5: will always be ways to get through things. My school, 702 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 5: for example, they block a lot of online websites and 703 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 5: games and stuff, so kids aren't messing around during class. 704 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 5: People use VPNs, they get around. There's always a way 705 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 5: to get around that roadblock, and that's putting a bandit 706 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 5: on the issue, it's not solving it. I think somehow, 707 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 5: some way, there needs to be a cultural shift. People 708 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 5: need to become more aware and actively seek hardship and 709 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 5: human interaction in the real world, not on their phone. 710 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a cultural change. It's not something you 711 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 2: can just change by writing it into law. 712 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 14: I think that the. 713 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 10: Issue is I'm homeschooled. I live in a very Christian 714 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 10: homeschooled community. I have been more my parents have taught me. 715 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 10: They help me experience these things like social media, but 716 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 10: they guide me through it, teaching me how to do 717 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 10: these things. 718 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 6: Now. 719 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 10: I have friends who their parents said you're not allowed 720 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 10: to have social media until you're sixteen eighteen. Now they're eighteen, 721 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 10: twenty two years down the line, and they turn out 722 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 10: the same way. And they're also the people who push 723 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 10: out the kirkified memes. And it's not pushing it off. 724 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 10: I advocate for teaching. I believe regulation should be in place, 725 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 10: but you also need to teach how to responsibly use 726 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 10: social media and how to put down the phone at times. 727 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 10: I think that that's a big thing, is you need 728 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,439 Speaker 10: to teach them put down the phone, go. 729 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 14: Pursue other things. 730 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 10: And when you're scrolling something, you need to ask yourself, 731 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 10: does this contribute to my life? Or is this contributing 732 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 10: to human connection? I honestly don't scroll unless my friends 733 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 10: are sending me stuff now, and it's a way that 734 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 10: we can actually bond over stuff we see, rather than 735 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 10: just interacting with a computer algorithm. 736 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 9: And Blake, to add on your point, I believe it 737 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 9: was Australia that just did the regulation in the UK 738 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 9: is about to do it, and I think it'll. 739 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 15: Be very interesting to see what the results of that are. 740 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 8: Ye. 741 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 9: Now, I do agree with you because it's not just 742 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 9: an issue about the tool. 743 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 15: It's an issue about our society as a whole. And 744 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 15: how do we fix that? 745 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 8: Now? 746 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 9: I think that's a question that we all have to 747 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 9: ask ourselves, is how do we fix something that we 748 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 9: didn't necessarily allow happen to us, but it just happened. 749 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,479 Speaker 15: How does my generation go about solving this issue now? 750 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 7: Well, I think it's all about communication. 751 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 8: I think we're kind of talking about this pan Doras 752 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 8: Box effect of taking away social media and these children 753 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 8: just wanting it more. They crave, Children innately crave. 754 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 7: What they don't have. 755 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 8: When you put the cookie jar they're going to reach, 756 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 8: you know, and so I think that we have to 757 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 8: have dialogue. I think Charlie did a great job with 758 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,879 Speaker 8: so many people on the left were so against right 759 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 8: wing policy because they didn't understand it and what they 760 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 8: were being fed through the algorithm was negative. But when 761 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 8: Charlie went into the public sphere, when he went and 762 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 8: he said, this is the truth. This is biological, this 763 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 8: is biblical, this is scientific. Look at this. Put it 764 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 8: straight in their eyes. They can't ignore it. 765 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 7: Social media. 766 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 8: It's just a conversation that we need to start having. 767 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 8: We need to say, you know what this is here, 768 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 8: but there's a better way to deal with it. 769 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 7: It's social. 770 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 13: This is what you concern everyone is. 771 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 15: You don't have to pay to download Instagram. 772 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 9: So Instagram's not relying off of a certain prime for 773 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 9: them to get their revenue. You are the product and 774 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 9: that is so important to define because you have to 775 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,879 Speaker 9: ask yourself why are they doing this? And we see, 776 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 9: like as Charlie used to say, we live in the 777 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 9: most suicidal, perverse, depressed, drug addicted generation. So we have 778 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 9: major issues we have to solve. So why are these 779 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 9: social media companies they're clearly profiting off something and we're 780 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,760 Speaker 9: not paying a dime by downloading them. And I believe 781 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 9: that they're profiting off our addiction through the algorithms, through 782 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 9: the AI that goes through and it sees what you're 783 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 9: interested in, and it makes it so hard that once 784 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 9: you start scrolling, makes it so hard to get off, 785 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 9: because you say, I want that extra sense of dopamine, 786 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 9: I want to scroll one more time, and that just 787 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 9: one more time turns into ten fifty, one hundred, and 788 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,399 Speaker 9: I think it just builds off itself and turns into 789 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 9: a very harmful. 790 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,479 Speaker 3: I often talk about how our culture, and you've seen 791 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 3: this a lot, we build up antibodies. But before you 792 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 3: build up an antibody to something, you have to get 793 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 3: sick with it first, right, Seeing this in some of 794 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 3: this conspiracy nonsense around Charlie's assassination, it's almost like it 795 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 3: took us ten months and the preliminary hearing for the 796 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 3: social media of it at all to sort of start 797 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 3: fighting back for the truth. But for ten months it 798 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 3: was bleak. Right, It's like, so you know what I 799 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 3: hear you guys talking about with just social media in general. 800 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,879 Speaker 3: I thought that was a really good point you made 801 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 3: that your parents didn't grow up with it, so they 802 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 3: didn't know how to necessarily teach the next generation that 803 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 3: was social media and natives how to use it responsibly, 804 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 3: and that that is a gaps. Like my parents taught 805 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 3: me how to balance a checkbook. Nobody's balancing checkbooks anymore. 806 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 3: They don't, you know, it's like that was. 807 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 13: They might not know what to check exactly. 808 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 2: You guys don't even know what a checkbook is. But 809 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 2: it's just that's that's what. That's a really fascinating point, 810 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 2: Like how old are your guys'. 811 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 5: Parents just curious in forties, forties, fifties, sixties, fifties. 812 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so okay, so. 813 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:57,320 Speaker 3: Gen X parents, Okay, this is all really really fascinating. 814 00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,959 Speaker 3: I think you just opened a lot of people's eyes 815 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 3: to what you guys or your lived experiences. But let's 816 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 3: talk about let's talk about the politics of it, all right. 817 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 3: So Charlie was known for really impacting young men specifically 818 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 3: and changing the way they saw politics. 819 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 2: And President Trump. President Trump had historic gains in. 820 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four with young men specifically, but those gains 821 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 3: have fallen away. Why why did that happen? First of all, 822 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 3: and second of all, you know, talk about what you 823 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 3: guys are seeing about President Trump, about conservatives, mostly negative, 824 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 3: mostly positive, and maybe you guys are conservatives, so speak 825 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 3: about yourself, but also your wider friend groups. 826 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter where we start. How about we start here. 827 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 14: Shoot, I don't think I have a good answer there. 828 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,879 Speaker 2: Well, the vibe around Trump, was it bad? Is it good? 829 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 5: I think that there's a sort of general movement on Instagram, 830 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 5: for example, social media when we talk about people who 831 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 5: are more extreme righters, people are right or leftists, Marxist, 832 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 5: that sort of thing, really vitriolic, negative things are pushed, 833 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 5: and whichever side that's from, that's what people typically see. 834 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 9: I think. 835 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 5: So I would say that for the most part, because 836 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 5: the content that creates the most engagement is the most extreme, 837 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 5: emotional extreme, the one that creates the most visceral reaction, 838 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,240 Speaker 5: because that's what gets views and clicks. 839 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 2: This is just the way it is. 840 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,720 Speaker 5: I would say mostly negative things because to be honest, 841 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 5: the positive things sometimes they may seem more tame than 842 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 5: a crazy accusation that's made. I mean with conspiracy theories, 843 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 5: like if Kennis Owens makes a crazy claim, you know 844 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 5: that's going to get more views and more clicks because 845 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,280 Speaker 5: it's so outlandish. 846 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 3: I had the honor of a lifetime to call Charlie 847 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 3: a friend, and what I remember most wasn't just what 848 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 3: people saw on stage. It was what was behind the scenes. 849 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 3: That was an unwavering commitment to his faith, his love 850 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 3: for his family, and his genuine desire to encourage others 851 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 3: to live with courage and conviction. Charlie believed that following 852 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 3: Christ wasn't something you compartmentalize. He didn't put it in 853 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 3: a box. He lived it out loud. It shaped how 854 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 3: he lived, how he served, how he treated people every 855 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 3: single day. Charlie Kirk American Martyr captures that heart. This 856 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 3: documentary isn't just simply about remembering Charlie. It's an invitation 857 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 3: for each of us to ask what kind of legacy 858 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 3: we're building and whether we're willing to stand firm in 859 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 3: our own faith when it's tested. I hope that you'll 860 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 3: watch it with your family and have those conversations together. 861 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 3: Go to angel dot com slash kirk. That's angel dot 862 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 3: com slash Kirk, become an Angel Guild member, watch Charlie 863 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 3: Kirk American Martyr and help bring more stories of faith, courage, 864 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 3: and conviction to audiences around the world. 865 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:09,720 Speaker 6: I would say specifically, objectively false content specifically around President 866 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 6: Trump is so high on Instagram, specifically, so I have 867 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 6: friends that are do not love President Trump as much 868 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 6: as I do, and they will send you reels all 869 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 6: the time, and I will instantly go look it up and. 870 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 2: See if that's true. 871 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 6: It's just objectively and it happened just I would say, 872 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 6: specifically Trump with Epstein. That's maybe the tons of AI 873 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 6: photos that people think are real, fake stories, fake documents 874 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 6: from the Epstein files that say Trump was on the island. 875 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 6: All the time, I see it and my friends believe it, 876 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 6: and it's awful, and I think that that has contributed 877 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 6: a little. 878 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 11: You say that just also because I wanted to ask 879 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 11: what issues they care most about, and is it is 880 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,720 Speaker 11: this what's standing out? Like they'll say my top political 881 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,720 Speaker 11: issue is Epstein justice or take. 882 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 12: Down the Epstein. 883 00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:59,919 Speaker 6: A lot of my friends would say that, yes, yeah, 884 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 6: useless Epstein. 885 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 4: Like justice, But it's just people they want to know. 886 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 4: There's almost like a taboo around Epstein. And with the files, 887 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 4: they people heard that there's extras left right, and they 888 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 4: weren't all released, and so people think that they're protecting 889 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 4: people in power, right, and a lot of times that's Trump, right, 890 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 4: And so I think almost there is a there's just 891 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 4: like a there's a taboo around it, and so people 892 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 4: talk about it more and then they cause and then 893 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 4: it causes discourse, and then people make things up now 894 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 4: too to be like, oh, well this actually released, but. 895 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 12: It did not. 896 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 6: And I would add specifically on the Trump Epstein thing, 897 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 6: it's it's not all totally fake, like Trump's saying that 898 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 6: the Epstein files were a Democrat hoax that totally fed 899 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 6: into it and let it led it to be even 900 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 6: more when we know that's not true. 901 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 3: So he yeah, what he was specifically referring to, and 902 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 3: actually I was Kad said this pretty well in an 903 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 3: event that I was with him at. 904 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,760 Speaker 2: He was saying that the. 905 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 3: The hoax he meant, like, the pursuit of coming after 906 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,839 Speaker 3: him was the hoax, right, because they didn't do this 907 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 3: when Joe Biden was president, and all of a sudden 908 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 3: it became this like you know, this driver. So that's 909 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 3: what he was getting at. But yeah, he wasn't saying 910 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,439 Speaker 3: that Epstein in it of itself was a host. 911 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 5: Well, and just like here, I think the meetings are misconstrued. 912 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 5: So a lot of people don't realize that. And that's 913 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 5: another issue because when there's not clarity, people run with 914 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,240 Speaker 5: what may not be true. 915 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:28,479 Speaker 2: Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't. 916 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,880 Speaker 5: They don't know, but people run with things and that 917 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 5: should be difficult because I mean, right here, I think 918 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 5: that's the perfect example of that. Like I'm in the 919 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 5: same boat now with that explanation, that makes sense. But 920 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 5: a lot of people, especially those who are less engaged 921 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 5: in politics, let's say, I don't think that they consider 922 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 5: that deeply. Some of the stuff they hear, so they'll 923 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 5: hear some crazy headline or something and they'll internalize that 924 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 5: and then just be like, Okay, that's my politics. 925 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 2: But we saw this. We saw this with this video 926 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 2: of Charlie at Aspen. 927 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,720 Speaker 3: Right, you guys probably heard about that story, yes, where 928 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 3: he asked, you know what the succession. 929 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 2: Plan for a turning point was? So then Erica had 930 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:06,320 Speaker 2: it as part of our intro. 931 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 3: Video Women's Leadership Summit, and then that I said something 932 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 3: along the lines that we decided to troll the trolls, 933 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 3: meaning the trolls were. 934 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,439 Speaker 12: Like the video, so then we want to you don't 935 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:17,759 Speaker 12: want to just let them have. 936 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 3: So we released it on our terms and so as 937 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,919 Speaker 3: a troll to the troll, the internet took that as 938 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 3: we released an AI video like somehow, and then it 939 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 3: became this thing and then it was like on PBDS 940 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 3: podcasts that and they were so mad at us for 941 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 3: really you know, and like we dealt with it and 942 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 3: we like corrected it, but I couldn't believe how far it, 943 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 3: like so that you'd ask Groc and Groc would say, yeah, it's. 944 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,919 Speaker 2: An AI video, and we're like how this, Like, God, 945 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 2: it wasn't. I never said it was. 946 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 13: An AI vide about it is that I want to 947 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 13: throw How bad is it? 948 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 11: Where someone if you assert something, someone will just outsour 949 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 11: us like, oh, here's the here's the AI. 950 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 12: I asked AI to think for me here. 951 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 10: It's like your generation would understand this of people just 952 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,879 Speaker 10: like reading the head lines. Now, imagine if the headlines 953 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 10: were just. 954 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 14: All you saw. 955 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 10: Yah, yeah, people are just people are just reading a 956 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 10: memafied version of the headlines.

It's it's a false reality, and these people 1043 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,879 Speaker 8: are watching it sitting in their living room saying, wow, 1044 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 8: I'd love to do that, but they have no ambition, 1045 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 8: they have no drive, and they're looking at this and 1046 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,200 Speaker 8: it just makes them feel sad. When you when you 1047 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 8: see someone like clav who is un like ungodly looking 1048 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 8: and just like I mean. 1049 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 7: His chin, his chin is like it looks like a knife. 1050 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,240 Speaker 7: And you see that and you're sitting on your no I'm. 1051 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 8: Serious, when you're when you're sitting on your couch without purpose, 1052 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,799 Speaker 8: without drive, you see that, and that's that's why we 1053 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 8: have these suicide rates, especially in young men, and. 1054 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:55,400 Speaker 10: It's a huge issue and people. This is where I 1055 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 10: think the beginning of the apathy came from, was when 1056 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 10: you first started having any type of you know, social media, 1057 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 10: because it gave you an essence of somebody being in 1058 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,560 Speaker 10: their real life, but actually they're showing this glamorified version 1059 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:12,319 Speaker 10: of their life. 1060 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,399 Speaker 14: And I think even for me it's hard. 1061 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 10: It's great being at this chapter Leadership summit because I 1062 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 10: see some of these chapter presidents. I look at their 1063 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,160 Speaker 10: chapters and they're huge, and I'm like, oh my gosh, 1064 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,479 Speaker 10: I wish my chapter was like that. Then you meet 1065 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 10: them and you're like, we're honestly like the same type 1066 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,280 Speaker 10: of person. And then I meet twenty thirty more chapter 1067 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,720 Speaker 10: presidents for that one that have the exact same size 1068 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,839 Speaker 10: chapter as meet or less with the same struggles. And 1069 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,920 Speaker 10: that's just what personally I'm experiencing here is like, you 1070 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,520 Speaker 10: honestly feel like you're with real people who have the 1071 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 10: same struggles as you. But when you have this social 1072 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,000 Speaker 10: media where you know the person who is you know, 1073 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,880 Speaker 10: we talked about the extremes go viral. The average person 1074 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,799 Speaker 10: doesn't go viral. It's when they do something that is 1075 00:51:54,840 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 10: not average, and people will will use things to make 1076 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 10: that artificially happen. And I think that's one of the 1077 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,960 Speaker 10: biggest issues in our dating culture right now is people's 1078 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 10: standards are so high because of what they see on 1079 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 10: the internet. People's standards for themselves, they don't try to 1080 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 10: pursue them because they're so atrociously high that they just 1081 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 10: seem unpursuable. 1082 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 3: I think that's a really good insight. I I think 1083 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 3: you're talking in broad strokes. You could call it conspiracy 1084 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 3: culture too, sort of disinformation culture. 1085 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,880 Speaker 8: These people are synonymous with the same like, it's the 1086 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 8: same circles. Like if you look at Clavicular, they're they're 1087 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 8: interacting with some of these people that are promoting these conspiracies, 1088 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 8: promoting all these different things. 1089 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,040 Speaker 7: It's it's kind of the same particular. 1090 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 10: And Nick Fuint has did a lot of content together. 1091 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 10: Yea actual, yeah, Andrew take. 1092 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 9: You know what. 1093 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 5: I think gen Z has a fear of commitment. And 1094 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,439 Speaker 5: because there's a fear of commitment to let's say, religion, faith, 1095 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 5: having a relationship with God for example, that absence that 1096 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 5: whole and somebody's soul gets. 1097 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,920 Speaker 2: Filled by all this it gets builled by all this stuff. 1098 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,320 Speaker 2: What about Israel, we're. 1099 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:09,880 Speaker 7: Here, what about Israel? 1100 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 2: Exactly exactly?

I but it's 1105 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 3: there's no denying that, especially for younger people. It has 1106 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 3: become the catch all, like you know Ziosberg, and it's 1107 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,359 Speaker 3: like Jews burging is literally what happens online for like, 1108 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 3: it's ninety percent of the wedge issue that I see. 1109 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 3: So what are you seeing around the Israel topic for 1110 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 3: people that let's just say, there's a boomer watching gen 1111 00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 3: x er okay, boomer that wants to understand what you 1112 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,440 Speaker 3: guys actually think about Isra, what you're perceiving that the 1113 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,400 Speaker 3: vibe is about Israel in your generation. 1114 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 5: Tell them, I'm really glad you brought that up, because 1115 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:09,840 Speaker 5: we were actually talking about this outside. 1116 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 2: We knew this would get brought up.

And to say to say to the older audience, 1196 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:50,840 Speaker 8: by the way, because you guys keep saying it into 1197 00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 8: even you guys, that's a verbal now to get curved. 1198 00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 13: That's a verb. 1199 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 8: That is a verb that people use literally like to 1200 00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 8: refer to assassination. 1201 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 7: They will say kirke. 1202 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 3: When it started with Luigi Mangioni and the United Healthcare 1203 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 3: CEO Brian Thompson, I think is his name, and you 1204 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 3: pull this and it's something like between eighteen and thirty 1205 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 3: nine self described liberals. It's basically almost thirty percent believe 1206 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 3: that political violence is okay. Yeah, So it's distinctly had 1207 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 3: a huge ramp up with young people that are progressing, and. 1208 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 10: I'm concerned at how much's ramping up and young younger 1209 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:27,960 Speaker 10: conservatives who are there. 1210 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,000 Speaker 14: They're not truly anti Semitic. I hope you guys know 1211 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,160 Speaker 14: that they are. 1212 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 10: So there are some, but that is a minority that 1213 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,600 Speaker 10: leads the thoughts, and there's sheep that follow that, and 1214 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 10: they just hear it, and so then when they hear actually, 1215 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 10: there weren't six million Jews. There were only two hundred 1216 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,920 Speaker 10: thousand that were killed in the Holocaust. 1217 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,920 Speaker 14: And people people tell me, Logan, that's a fact, and 1218 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:54,080 Speaker 14: I said, where did you hear it? 1219 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 10: Well, there was this Instagram reel and I'm like, I 1220 00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 10: tell them, stop listening to the reels. 1221 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 7: Do your research. 1222 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 10: That is, there are so many people that you can 1223 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 10: go and talk to who are Holocaust survivors, who will 1224 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,400 Speaker 10: tell you about that pain and it gives them a 1225 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:13,080 Speaker 10: dose of reality for a moment, and they're they're upset 1226 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 10: about what's going on. But then they hear that Benjamin 1227 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,640 Speaker 10: yet now who controls Trump? That a lot of them. 1228 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 10: Something that's really misinformed right now is they're telling people 1229 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 10: that where in Iran because of Israel? Like that's the 1230 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,160 Speaker 10: big talking point right now, when I will talk to 1231 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,120 Speaker 10: them and point to so many other reasons why we're 1232 00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 10: in Iran outside of Israel. And I take the Matt 1233 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,560 Speaker 10: Walsh approach on the Israeli topic. I'm America first, and 1234 00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 10: I think that we should aid our allies when they 1235 00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,240 Speaker 10: need aid, when it benefits us. But a lot of 1236 00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 10: people feel ignored and then they go to the extreme. 1237 00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 9: I think it's important to make a key differential here 1238 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 9: between Israel, the Israeli people, the Jewish people in the 1239 00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,240 Speaker 9: Israeli government very much. When I say I'm America first, 1240 00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 9: that's not me saying I'm anti Israel at all. I 1241 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 9: have disagreements with the Israeli government personally. That's my personal stance. 1242 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,640 Speaker 9: I've seen things in this war. For example, I'm not 1243 01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,680 Speaker 9: convinced that they want this war to end. The war 1244 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 9: that we are in in Iran and that you know 1245 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 9: goes by. 1246 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,479 Speaker 3: So when JD is pursuing the MoU correct, you see 1247 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,160 Speaker 3: some consternation and hand ringing from the Israeli government. 1248 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:22,840 Speaker 13: Absolutely, that's what you're getting at. 1249 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, that, Or you know last week how there was 1250 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,400 Speaker 9: the story of the United States and Iranian negotiators were 1251 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 9: coming to meet and there was supposedly a plot to 1252 01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:35,120 Speaker 9: assassinate the Iranian negotiators. I don't know if that's necessarily 1253 01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,720 Speaker 9: been confirmed yet, so I'm cautious when I say that. 1254 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 9: But we have to make that differential, because I'm not 1255 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,320 Speaker 9: seeing that differential being made. 1256 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 13: And I think that's why so many. 1257 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,080 Speaker 9: Boomers are like, what are you guys talking about. It's 1258 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 9: because we're not necessarily talking about the people some people are, 1259 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,919 Speaker 9: and some people are being antisemitic about it, and they're 1260 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,680 Speaker 9: saying it's the Israelies, it's the Jews, it's all that. 1261 01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 13: That's not the case. 1262 01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 9: I'm specifically talking about the Israeli government, and I think 1263 01:00:58,600 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 9: it's very important we make that. 1264 01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,720 Speaker 3: And by the way, I just want to underscore that's 1265 01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 3: my position as well, and I think it's so. 1266 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,760 Speaker 2: Critically important to this discussion. And I know this mattered 1267 01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 2: a lot to Charlie. 1268 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 3: You are not anti Semitic if you have policy difference 1269 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,240 Speaker 3: differences with Israel, if you want to see the war end, 1270 01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:21,200 Speaker 3: if you want us to stop giving them federal funds 1271 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,959 Speaker 3: every year. Right, there's basically an ongoing annuity of about 1272 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 3: four billion dollars that we send to Israel, which, yeah, 1273 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,520 Speaker 3: in the whole scheme of the federal government is kind 1274 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:29,760 Speaker 3: of a drop in the bucket. 1275 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 2: But it's still very symbolically important. 1276 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,440 Speaker 3: You're not anti Semitic if you have questions about a 1277 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,439 Speaker 3: lot of things, right, And I think that where this 1278 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 3: dialogue first broke down is that there was a jump 1279 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:44,400 Speaker 3: by groups like the ADL and even some conservative Jewish 1280 01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 3: people or allies of Israel to castigate everybody as anti 1281 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 3: Semitic that just had honest questions or had honest policy disagreements. 1282 01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 3: And I just really really want to make that clear 1283 01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:00,080 Speaker 3: that that is not okay actually, and it's contributed to 1284 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 3: making this such a toxic conversation.

That's that is 1330 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,080 Speaker 8: even scarier in itself, that the trend is fading, so 1331 01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:25,400 Speaker 8: now people don't agree with it because these people are 1332 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,960 Speaker 8: willing to say atrocious things just because they're sheep, just 1333 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,120 Speaker 8: for a trend and just for sheep. But it's also 1334 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,320 Speaker 8: on the more pro is real side, I mean, like 1335 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 8: the ideas that have been pushed forward, that saying Christ 1336 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 8: is King is anti Semitic. I mean, it's going so 1337 01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:44,400 Speaker 8: far on both sides, when truly in the conservative space, 1338 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 8: this is you know, Nicholas fuente Is and this is 1339 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 8: Ben Shapiro, it's probably more in the middle. 1340 01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:50,360 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1341 01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:53,560 Speaker 3: Well, and even Fuentez is calling it low IQ anti 1342 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:57,600 Speaker 3: Semitism stuff, right, so anybody else? So you said, you 1343 01:04:58,280 --> 01:04:59,919 Speaker 3: see it kind of maybe fading a little. 1344 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,600 Speaker 8: I think it's fading, but I think that it's I'm. 1345 01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 2: Still really strong. Yeah, do you see any change. 1346 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,520 Speaker 10: I've seen it in the arguments and conversations. 1347 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,560 Speaker 2: I have people that it's faded. 1348 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,960 Speaker 10: They've started they've started to still try to insinuate the ideas, 1349 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,040 Speaker 10: but then they are so scared to tell me where 1350 01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,320 Speaker 10: they heard it. Because if they say, well I heard 1351 01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 10: it from Candice Owan's clip, I'm like and then they're 1352 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,080 Speaker 10: like they're like yeah, and I'm like, come on, do 1353 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:29,880 Speaker 10: you have another source? 1354 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,440 Speaker 14: And to like you kind of have a point? 1355 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,600 Speaker 3: Well, and this is what this is where it's true, 1356 01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,440 Speaker 3: there is nuance and there should be nuance in this 1357 01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,439 Speaker 3: APAK is very influential. You know how I know that 1358 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,840 Speaker 3: is because you have guys like Ted Cruz and others 1359 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,480 Speaker 3: that that openly sort of say these things, and I don't, 1360 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:46,920 Speaker 3: for the life of me, I don't understand, you know, 1361 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,760 Speaker 3: why they say some of this stuff. But there's also 1362 01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,920 Speaker 3: truth on the other side that, like, you know, zero 1363 01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 3: point zero two percent of the world's population can't be 1364 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 3: responsible for every single ill either, right, And so it's like, 1365 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 3: I wish we could have an adult conversation about this, 1366 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,600 Speaker 3: but we're talking about social media and the kids. So 1367 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,600 Speaker 3: you know, it's like the nuance is obviously lost. Do 1368 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:10,240 Speaker 3: you guys see it's point? Is this wish casting or 1369 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,400 Speaker 3: do you see it kind of like normalized. 1370 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,520 Speaker 2: To see it as a symptism normalizing? 1371 01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like like no, I mean, because yeah, it is 1372 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:19,560 Speaker 3: it getting cringe and like I. 1373 01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,640 Speaker 4: Think so because I think going back to the memes, 1374 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 4: I don't want to keep talking about them, but like 1375 01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:28,040 Speaker 4: the more brain rot it becomes the more like just 1376 01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,680 Speaker 4: typical and the silly. 1377 01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 2: It's like they jump the shark exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1378 01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 2: do you guys? 1379 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,640 Speaker 6: A common thread of everything we've talked about on social media, 1380 01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 6: whether it be Israel or anything else, is that everything 1381 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,320 Speaker 6: we're talking about is extremely low substance. There is no 1382 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:49,240 Speaker 6: actual substantive argument to any of this. It is all 1383 01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,200 Speaker 6: just a meme, a headline. There's no points to it, 1384 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,640 Speaker 6: there's nothing to back it up. There's no evidence that applies. 1385 01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 14: To everywhere here. 1386 01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 6: And the thing is, if we can convince our generation 1387 01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,160 Speaker 6: that your burden, the burden of proof to convince you 1388 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,240 Speaker 6: of something needs to be a lot higher than that. 1389 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,160 Speaker 2: I totally agree. This is what we found with this whole. 1390 01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 3: Like Charlie Kirk conspiracy stuff too, is like almost all 1391 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 3: of the allegations in the conspiracy slop have been are 1392 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:16,040 Speaker 3: just completely baseless. 1393 01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 2: There's no evidence of proof. 1394 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,400 Speaker 3: And they then what they do is they put the 1395 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 3: burden of proof on you and it's like no, no, no, no, no. 1396 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,280 Speaker 3: You came with the allegation, the burden of proof is 1397 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 3: on you crazy old posts. 1398 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:28,360 Speaker 2: Yes, and then they'll exactly. 1399 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,240 Speaker 3: So I think when I talk about we build antibodies 1400 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:32,960 Speaker 3: to this, like you, as young men that are going 1401 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,480 Speaker 3: to be steeped in this and in this space, you 1402 01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,400 Speaker 3: have to remember that there is a burden of proof. 1403 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 3: I mean, our whole justice system is based around it. 1404 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,840 Speaker 3: You know, recklessly smearing people is a really gross thing 1405 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:44,400 Speaker 3: to do, and that's basically what it sounds like the 1406 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 3: Internet's become. So I don't know how much time we 1407 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 3: have left, but we probably have to get close to 1408 01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,919 Speaker 3: wrapping up soon. But the point of politics, right, let's 1409 01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,800 Speaker 3: bring it home here. President Trump was gaining popularity. Then 1410 01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 3: Epstein happened, Midnight Hammer happened, second Iran strikes happened. Lost 1411 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 3: a lot of you know, you could see it from 1412 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,800 Speaker 3: the podcast, whether it's Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn or whatever. Right, 1413 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:11,840 Speaker 3: he lost some of this coalition that had supported what 1414 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:12,720 Speaker 3: can bring it back? 1415 01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,920 Speaker 9: Ending this war before the midterms. I think it's quite simple. 1416 01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:20,200 Speaker 9: I think what frustrates Americans so much right now is 1417 01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:23,920 Speaker 9: the economy. I'm not content with the current stay of 1418 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,480 Speaker 9: the economy. In polls show that the American people, specifically 1419 01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,720 Speaker 9: gen Z is not either. Now, I think if we 1420 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,960 Speaker 9: end this war and I ran, we will see the 1421 01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:35,599 Speaker 9: economy trend in a positive direction immediately. I'm not saying 1422 01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,639 Speaker 9: everything will get better with the snap of a finger, 1423 01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,200 Speaker 9: but I think if President Trump goes in and ends 1424 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,880 Speaker 9: this war before the midterms, I still think we can 1425 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,160 Speaker 9: see success when it comes to our next next one. 1426 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,479 Speaker 2: So you think it's economic, what about etein about. 1427 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,640 Speaker 8: What I see with it is cultural and kind of 1428 01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:54,759 Speaker 8: bringing back to what you were just talking about Charlie. 1429 01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 7: So my to give some background for me. My dad 1430 01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 7: was there the day Charlie passed. 1431 01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 8: He's the head women's soccer coach at UVU, and there 1432 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,479 Speaker 8: were some people that we knew in the audience that 1433 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:11,639 Speaker 8: were accused of killing Charlie by Candace. And so these 1434 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:15,320 Speaker 8: conspiracies that are getting so far, I do think if 1435 01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:19,519 Speaker 8: we handle this properly, some people are going to start 1436 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:23,760 Speaker 8: awakening to these conspiracies and start saying, you know what, 1437 01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:25,920 Speaker 8: maybe Candace is too far. 1438 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,240 Speaker 7: And maybe here's the thing about Candace. 1439 01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:32,360 Speaker 8: Candace, if you're listening, last week, you're telling me that 1440 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:34,360 Speaker 8: Israel did it, and this week you're telling me a 1441 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,720 Speaker 8: random person in the audience, did where is your baseline? 1442 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 8: Where's your knowledge? And what's your story? If someone says 1443 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,200 Speaker 8: I agree with her, who do they agree with? 1444 01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:45,080 Speaker 2: Which episode? 1445 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:45,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1446 01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:48,920 Speaker 8: Which episode? Which state of mind do you agree with? 1447 01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 8: And I think that we can find some rationality. And 1448 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,840 Speaker 8: I think if we push forward common sense hopefully, And 1449 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,280 Speaker 8: when I say common sense, I don't think the best 1450 01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,200 Speaker 8: way to go forward to say, you know what, the 1451 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,920 Speaker 8: left is so crazy, let's go so far right. How 1452 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,439 Speaker 8: about we break it down like Charlie did, get a 1453 01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,679 Speaker 8: little bit more common sense, and then we can hopefully 1454 01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,479 Speaker 8: defeat these people that are trying to push forward these 1455 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 8: absolutely insane rhetoric and that cultural change will change everything. 1456 01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,920 Speaker 8: Culture is the epicenter of political life. 1457 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:24,519 Speaker 12: I want to hear from the rest of you on 1458 01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,400 Speaker 12: what can be done to reassemble the coalition. 1459 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,640 Speaker 2: Even in part I think Henrick's point, I agree with 1460 01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:31,080 Speaker 2: a lot of that. 1461 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,040 Speaker 6: I think it goes into something that Charlie really talked about, 1462 01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,519 Speaker 6: which was the renting culture. And I think that that's 1463 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 6: something that our generation, especially as we start to live 1464 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,680 Speaker 6: on our own, that's something that we're really going to face. Right. So, 1465 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 6: the average age of home first time home ownership in 1466 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,000 Speaker 6: America is now forty one saw that it's insane. 1467 01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:51,000 Speaker 2: It's insane. 1468 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,120 Speaker 6: So we're just renting. Like I was talking to these 1469 01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,040 Speaker 6: guys earlier, like if you're renting a home and you 1470 01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,160 Speaker 6: ding a hole in the wall, you don't really care. 1471 01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:58,800 Speaker 6: It's not yours to deal with. It doesn't hurt your 1472 01:10:58,880 --> 01:10:59,639 Speaker 6: property value. 1473 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 12: You own a home, you want to fix that hole 1474 01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:03,000 Speaker 12: in your wall. 1475 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 8: Right. 1476 01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 6: I think that that funnels all the way down to 1477 01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:08,640 Speaker 6: even voting. Right, So if you own something, if you 1478 01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:11,320 Speaker 6: have a family, if you have things that really matter, 1479 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:16,040 Speaker 6: you are going to be incentivized to participate in your culture. 1480 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 6: Whereas if you're not, you just don't really care. 1481 01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:23,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, gen Z has a dearth of purpose. I think 1482 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,720 Speaker 5: that's what a lot of this boils down to. We've 1483 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,800 Speaker 5: got cultural issues, there's economic problems that are current that 1484 01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:31,360 Speaker 5: people see and they check out. They don't like what's happening. 1485 01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:34,160 Speaker 5: Of course, I think we all feel that there is 1486 01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:39,360 Speaker 5: a hole in so many people in their souls. I 1487 01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,240 Speaker 5: you know, for me, I am so incredibly grateful that 1488 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:46,120 Speaker 5: I have faith, that I'm growing a stronger connection to God, 1489 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:50,160 Speaker 5: to Jesus, that's my rock. I'm able to know who 1490 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:52,519 Speaker 5: I am and know that what will happen to me 1491 01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,439 Speaker 5: will be, in the long run, a part of a 1492 01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,519 Speaker 5: greater plan, something bigger than myself. For people who don't 1493 01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:02,519 Speaker 5: fully commit themselves to do something greater than that, something 1494 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:07,840 Speaker 5: something metaphysical, beyond what we are, I I worry about 1495 01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,479 Speaker 5: the nihilism that comes from that, because if I didn't 1496 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,799 Speaker 5: have my faith, I would be I think, a completely 1497 01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,280 Speaker 5: different person because everything would seem meaningless. 1498 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:19,240 Speaker 2: And there's a. 1499 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,160 Speaker 5: Serious problem, I think with a lot of people still 1500 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:25,479 Speaker 5: feeling like they are meaningless. And Charlie, you know, for me, 1501 01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 5: he he absolutely helped me to strengthen my faith, my conviction. 1502 01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:36,400 Speaker 5: And for people who don't have that same sort of connection, 1503 01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,040 Speaker 5: I frankly don't. 1504 01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:42,479 Speaker 2: Know what they what, hope they have, what they can do? 1505 01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,080 Speaker 2: What do you think can be done? 1506 01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:45,439 Speaker 8: You know? 1507 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,680 Speaker 14: I mean, you know, gen Z. 1508 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,639 Speaker 4: I think a common threat I've seen is people feel 1509 01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,719 Speaker 4: like there's promises that were made by the administration, whether 1510 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,600 Speaker 4: it be Trump failing to release the Epsteine files at 1511 01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,000 Speaker 4: first or the economy. I mean, I had to pay 1512 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:03,800 Speaker 4: one hundred and seventy bucks to fill up my truck 1513 01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,160 Speaker 4: the other week, right like I don't think gen Z 1514 01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:08,920 Speaker 4: likes to see that. I shouldn't have to go a 1515 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:14,040 Speaker 4: breed of twenty five bucks, right. I think gen Z's economy, 1516 01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:15,799 Speaker 4: I really do think it goes back to the economy 1517 01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,799 Speaker 4: and just the quality of life because we were promised 1518 01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:23,000 Speaker 4: a we were promised good economy. Sorry, we were promised 1519 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,679 Speaker 4: low gas prices, low groceries, And I think if things 1520 01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 4: like that start turning up, I really do think it will. 1521 01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,160 Speaker 3: So when we talk about that, do you think there's 1522 01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:37,960 Speaker 3: an understanding just basic economics with gen Z? For example, 1523 01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:41,880 Speaker 3: for example, you had, let's just say, for around number 1524 01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,639 Speaker 3: sike twenty five percent inflation in four years under Joe Biden. 1525 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:49,000 Speaker 3: You can't turn that around and turn that off. By 1526 01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:51,479 Speaker 3: the way, getting prices to drop back down in some 1527 01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:56,120 Speaker 3: categories is probably never gonna happen. Yeah, is there a 1528 01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,759 Speaker 3: basic understanding about or when you print all this money 1529 01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:02,240 Speaker 3: that it actually inflated asset prices, but it makes people 1530 01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 3: that don't own assets i e. Homes, equities, things like that, 1531 01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,160 Speaker 3: it makes them poorer because you know, it makes makes 1532 01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,719 Speaker 3: normal basic goods more expensive like these kind of concepts. 1533 01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:12,439 Speaker 2: Are you guys trusting gen Z knows? 1534 01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:13,280 Speaker 13: Yeah? 1535 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:16,120 Speaker 14: I think you're getting to the point. 1536 01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:22,000 Speaker 10: And I think that the Trump administration in almost all 1537 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:25,080 Speaker 10: respects are doing an incredible job and falling to a 1538 01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:28,639 Speaker 10: lot of promises. But the issue is in our present 1539 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,559 Speaker 10: day age and the way the algorithm works is we're 1540 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,759 Speaker 10: allowing the left because they they are on a twenty 1541 01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,240 Speaker 10: They are on a twenty four to seven, three hundred 1542 01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 10: and sixty five days a year election cycle. They have 1543 01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:44,280 Speaker 10: been campaigning for twenty twenty eight, since the day after 1544 01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:46,760 Speaker 10: the election in twenty twenty four. What we have to 1545 01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:51,640 Speaker 10: do is, like any bad habit, you don't defeat it 1546 01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:55,120 Speaker 10: by just erasing it. You replace it. And so we 1547 01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:58,840 Speaker 10: need conservatives to do I think it's not what Trump 1548 01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,040 Speaker 10: can do it. How can we show people what Trump 1549 01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:06,799 Speaker 10: is doing currently? Because there are so many championed things 1550 01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:10,320 Speaker 10: that you don't see unless you're a TPUSA student and 1551 01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 10: you're reading, you know, the articles and you're having the 1552 01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,960 Speaker 10: conversations with people who know what is going on and 1553 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:19,760 Speaker 10: you're watching the right podcast.

They just want to put out this slop, 1557 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 10: as we call it, the internet slop. They want you 1558 01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,599 Speaker 10: to scroll and read that rather than actually knowing the truth. 1559 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,760 Speaker 10: And if we could put on display the incredible things 1560 01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:43,479 Speaker 10: that Trump is doing in gen Z language, like the 1561 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:45,920 Speaker 10: the Trump accounts. 1562 01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:46,599 Speaker 14: Like those are incredible. 1563 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 10: Let's put those on display more in a language that 1564 01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,959 Speaker 10: gen Z can understand, and they'll see all the incredible 1565 01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,880 Speaker 10: things and it will be replaced it happens to twenty four. 1566 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:58,640 Speaker 15: I agree, And look, let's look at this from a 1567 01:15:58,680 --> 01:15:59,480 Speaker 15: wide perspective. 1568 01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:01,120 Speaker 13: Under President Trump. 1569 01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,200 Speaker 9: You know, very low unemployment rate, stock market is doing 1570 01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:08,519 Speaker 9: extremely well right now, and I think the most important 1571 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:14,439 Speaker 9: thing when we look into our future, economic development within 1572 01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,479 Speaker 9: the past year and a half has done exceedingly well, 1573 01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,040 Speaker 9: and that contributes towards our future. 1574 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,680 Speaker 13: Now, the moment that I believe that this war is. 1575 01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:26,519 Speaker 9: Done in Iran, I think that'll have a positive impact 1576 01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,639 Speaker 9: on what I call the now economy, what we currently see. 1577 01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:34,000 Speaker 9: So what President Trump needs to focus on is communicating 1578 01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:37,479 Speaker 9: to the American people that our top priority is getting 1579 01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,840 Speaker 9: this war and Iran over with, and I think that 1580 01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,280 Speaker 9: will really help support him with the independence and a 1581 01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:46,080 Speaker 9: lot of the Republicans who voted for him, who are 1582 01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,679 Speaker 9: upset with some of the policies he's put in place, because. 1583 01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:49,800 Speaker 2: More specifically young men. 1584 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the key of this conversation, they think is, 1585 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,720 Speaker 3: you know, young men were so enthusiastic. 1586 01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,639 Speaker 2: I'll never forget going around with Charlie in twenty twenty four, Blake, 1587 01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 2: remember this and. 1588 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,000 Speaker 3: To see a red hats all these young men like 1589 01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,400 Speaker 3: basically being like the other party is a bunch of 1590 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:08,200 Speaker 3: weak ninnies like Kamala, what are we gonna do here? 1591 01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:11,160 Speaker 2: Beta males, and then like Trump is like masculine and strong. 1592 01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:11,920 Speaker 2: It's gonna come through. 1593 01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,800 Speaker 3: But at some point there was a disconnect, and I 1594 01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,240 Speaker 3: don't know if it was Epstein or if it was Charlie. Yeah, 1595 01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:21,560 Speaker 3: Charlie passing, yeah for sure at least sustaining it. But 1596 01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,680 Speaker 3: we were already talking about this with Charlie. Charlie was 1597 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:29,080 Speaker 3: very keenly aware after Epstein and Midnight Hammer that there 1598 01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:33,160 Speaker 3: was some of the support was flagging, right, So the 1599 01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 3: you know, I just it's you're saying, you're saying it's 1600 01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:39,200 Speaker 3: a messaging thing. You're saying, it's getting it back into 1601 01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:39,920 Speaker 3: the jet stream. 1602 01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,720 Speaker 10: When two weeks before Charlie passed I spoke to a 1603 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:48,000 Speaker 10: leadership congress and my speech was about the work he 1604 01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,720 Speaker 10: did and how that has won us twenty twenty four, 1605 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:55,160 Speaker 10: that won us the next generation. And at the end 1606 01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:58,680 Speaker 10: of that speech, I said, the entire purpose is to 1607 01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,320 Speaker 10: keep hope for a generation, to keep fighting because the 1608 01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,439 Speaker 10: cause is going on. I did not realize the work 1609 01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,080 Speaker 10: God was doing in my life at that moment, because 1610 01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:11,040 Speaker 10: two weeks later, when Charlie passed, it was a Downstrom 1611 01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:14,200 Speaker 10: effect that we started to lose this voice of unity 1612 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:19,640 Speaker 10: and reason, and we spoke about it. How you know 1613 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:24,880 Speaker 10: how much a leader can change a movement, And I 1614 01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:29,680 Speaker 10: think we need to revive how Charlie did it, Like 1615 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,560 Speaker 10: I think we're fighting this fight within turning point and 1616 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,799 Speaker 10: it's just something we're having to learn as chapter leaders. 1617 01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 10: How do we be like Charlie in our community? How 1618 01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:43,040 Speaker 10: did he lose these things? And I think it's not 1619 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:47,360 Speaker 10: following the clips of you know, Charlie owning these very 1620 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:52,640 Speaker 10: very ignorant people. It's where he has the genuine conversations 1621 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,320 Speaker 10: with the transgender student who is struggling with their identity 1622 01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:02,839 Speaker 10: and the person who's struggling with understanding why we're mistreating 1623 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:08,120 Speaker 10: immigrants and the genuinely misinformed people who he just educated 1624 01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:11,800 Speaker 10: and had these important conversations. That's that's the movement, and 1625 01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:16,599 Speaker 10: that's why so many young men and young women followed 1626 01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:22,240 Speaker 10: him was because he made you feel like you knew 1627 01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 10: what was going on and. 1628 01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:26,559 Speaker 2: He had an authority with his voice too. People. 1629 01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 3: So the white pillar for me here listening to you guys, 1630 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,000 Speaker 3: is that there is so much green space here for 1631 01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:35,840 Speaker 3: people to speak the truth. Yes, to tell the truth 1632 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,840 Speaker 3: to a generation that's getting lied to so much now 1633 01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:42,280 Speaker 3: that the how is a really interesting and it's a 1634 01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:43,360 Speaker 3: really interesting challenge. 1635 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:47,920 Speaker 2: I'm being told we need to wrap up.
