Speaker 1: to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you
Speaker 1: is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
Speaker 1: But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll
Speaker 1: end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got
Speaker 1: to stop sending your kids to college. You should get
Speaker 1: married as young as possible and have as many kids
Speaker 1: as possible. Go start at turning point you would say
Speaker 1: college chapter.
Speaker 2: Go start attning point.
Speaker 1: Yould say high school chapter. Go find out how your
Speaker 1: church can get involved.
Speaker 2: Sign up and become an activist.
Speaker 1: I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade,
Speaker 1: most important decision I ever made in my life, and
Speaker 1: I encourage you to do the same.
Speaker 3: Here I am.

Speaker 2: All right, welcome everybody. It is Monday, August tenth, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. Blake's holding it down in the y REFI Studios.
Speaker 2: How we doing, Blake, I'm doing great.
Speaker 4: I think we're coming to the cosmic realization Andrew that
Speaker 4: it is my mic flag.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: I think I have possessed this flag more days than
Speaker 4: the last month than you have, and I don't think
Speaker 4: it's going to be changing this week.
Speaker 2: So I'm the captain. Now, that's what Blake says. Well, listen, Blake,
Speaker 2: I entirely disagree. It is my mic flago be there
Speaker 2: to reclaim it in due time. Nevertheless, we have a
Speaker 2: show to do about much of the news that has
Speaker 2: been happening, and I would be remiss if we did
Speaker 2: not be honest with this audience about what we are
Speaker 2: facing in this current moment. Now, if you asked me,
Speaker 2: is it okay to vote Democrat? I would tell you,
Speaker 2: very very clearly, absolutely not. I don't know what's gotten
Speaker 2: into people across the podcast sphere, the internet sphere. There
Speaker 2: is a lot of people that will look you straight
Speaker 2: in the face, that you have known to be conservatives
Speaker 2: for many years, that will tell you, actually, we need
Speaker 2: to vote Democrat. We need to burn this down, and
Speaker 2: we need to usher in an era of post left
Speaker 2: and right politics. That's an old paradigm. Bro, Well, that's
Speaker 2: not true. If you vote Democrat, they will let in
Speaker 2: three to five million Third worlders a year illegally, and
Speaker 2: they will do it happily. They will smile to your face,
Speaker 2: they will lie to you about why they are doing it.
Speaker 2: It's even happening at all. They will tell you the
Speaker 2: border secure, and they will overrun this country. For that
Speaker 2: issue alone, you should never vote Democrat again. There are
Speaker 2: myriad issues of which you could put in that category,
Speaker 2: but for that issue alone, you do not want America
Speaker 2: to be invaded again by Third worlders. If you have kids, grandkids,
Speaker 2: you do not want to vote Democrat. But if our
Speaker 2: pitch is only going to be that voting Democrat is
Speaker 2: the least worst choice, or though it is the most
Speaker 2: worst choice, and that voting Republican is the least worst choice,
Speaker 2: then that is not an inspiration inspiring message to about
Speaker 2: fifty percent of the country. Because you got twenty five
Speaker 2: percent hardened on this side, twenty five percent hardened on
Speaker 2: that side, and then you've got about the mushy middle,
Speaker 2: the normies as we sometimes call them, And that's not
Speaker 2: a pejorative. By the way, people should not be so
Speaker 2: fixated on politics. The politics of this country should run itself.
Speaker 2: It should be something you could sort of put in
Speaker 2: the background and depend upon that it will be handled professionally,
Speaker 2: in an adult manner, with common sense what's in the
Speaker 2: best interests of the country. We are not in that era,
Speaker 2: and so there are there are a lot of people
Speaker 2: fixated on politics and they're just getting bad vibes. And
Speaker 2: I will repeat myself to um Blue in the face
Speaker 2: that I think it goes back to the way Epstein
Speaker 2: was handled. For a lot of people. That felt like
Speaker 2: a psychic break, a betrayal of trust, of transparency. Whether
Speaker 2: or not the admin knew that, I don't think they
Speaker 2: understood that, but it was a break, okay, And you
Speaker 2: could get mad at me in the emails if you
Speaker 2: want that we're playing into the hoax. I'm just telling
Speaker 2: you the politics of it, folks. Now, do I think
Speaker 2: Trump did anything wrong, No, of course, but I think
Speaker 2: that it could have been handled better. Then you get
Speaker 2: into Iran. A lot of people believe that President Trump said,
Speaker 2: no new wars. It's not exactly what he said. He
Speaker 2: was very consistent on Iran. Nevertheless, the Iran conflict, you
Speaker 2: go back to Midnight Hammer, but then you get into
Speaker 2: the Spring and the ongoing conflicts with Iran. It's been
Speaker 2: a drag. Okay, it's been a drag, and unfortunately this
Speaker 2: has resulted in some very negative polling. And we have
Speaker 2: to be on a about it. We have to offer
Speaker 2: something better than we're just not as bad as the
Speaker 2: other guys. And I think Blake would agree. Blake, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna play this clip and then I'm gonna have your
Speaker 2: reaction on the other side, and you can you can
Speaker 2: sort of analyze how we got here top fifteen.
Speaker 5: What is going on, mister Berman?
Speaker 2: What was going on?
Speaker 5: As simple is the MAGA movement was built among the
Speaker 5: working class non college Americans. And take a look at
Speaker 5: this trend line that we're looking on the data. Here
Speaker 5: we go, Okay, net favorability rating the MAGA movement non
Speaker 5: college retest.
Speaker 2: Back on October of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: Look at that on the plus side of the ledge
Speaker 5: or positive plus six points down we go into the
Speaker 5: Atlantic Ocean. Now look at this movement now minus twenty
Speaker 5: two points. That is a shift Johnny b of twenty
Speaker 5: eight points away from the MAGA movement away with non
Speaker 5: college Americans. So the bottom line is this the group
Speaker 5: at which the Trump movement was built upon. They are
Speaker 5: shifting away and saying we don't like MAGA anymore.
Speaker 4: Well, it's as he says, non college americans. You have
Speaker 4: to think about what that represents. That represents blue collar,
Speaker 4: working class people like the union voters who swung towards Trump.
Speaker 4: It represents a lot of rural voters I think a
Speaker 4: lot about If you've ever heard of it, it's called
Speaker 4: the Driftless area. It's kind of the border area Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Speaker 4: Western Illinois, kind of all the northern Mississippi River area.
Speaker 4: And those are counties that are rural, lightly populated, but
Speaker 4: historically voted pretty blue. They voted for Obama, for example,
Speaker 4: they helped to make Iowa blue state under Obama, and
Speaker 4: they swung really dramatically aggressively towards Donald Trump. That is
Speaker 4: what we do when we talk about Donald Trump remaking
Speaker 4: American politics. It's not just about issues, it's about coalitions.
Speaker 4: That Donald Trump massively boosted the GOP with lower education
Speaker 4: voters with lower income voters, while at the same time
Speaker 4: he was shedding some of the higher educated, higher income
Speaker 4: voters who had more globalist points of view, who didn't
Speaker 4: care for his style of politics. That was the Trump realignment, Andrew,
Speaker 4: and that's what enabled him to win states no Republican
Speaker 4: had won in decades. That is how he is able
Speaker 4: to win Wisconsin, win Michigan, win Pennsylvania, win back Nevada
Speaker 4: after it had gone blue for several elections. And as
Speaker 4: you say, we need to be paying attention if the
Speaker 4: polls say that that is swinging the other way, they
Speaker 4: are true swing voters. They're the kind of people you
Speaker 4: can win back. But we should not ignore this fact.
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of people who will prefer
Speaker 4: to look at any poll that is bad and say
Speaker 4: that the poll is fake, to say that the poll
Speaker 4: has a bad sample or whatever. And I think you
Speaker 4: and I know, and Charlie would know, you have to
Speaker 4: pay attention to these sorts of things. They even if
Speaker 4: the poll is exaggerated, it's getting at something real. And
Speaker 4: I think what we've seen play out is a lot
Speaker 4: of people probably were innately a little bit wary of
Speaker 4: going for Donald Trump and going for the Republicans again
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four. But Charlie and others made a
Speaker 4: good pitch on affordability, on the border, on Biden being
Speaker 4: a complete disaster, on no wars, and in some cases
Speaker 4: on Epstein. And they feel like they got burned on
Speaker 4: at least some of those issues. And it's going to
Speaker 4: be a lyft to get them to trust us again.
Speaker 4: And it's not something that you can just win over
Speaker 4: with rhetoric. It's something where you need to have real
Speaker 4: wins to offer them. We can't just give them a lecture.
Speaker 2: Well, and I do believe that we have real wins. Well,
Speaker 2: I do believe that part of it is messaging, right.
Speaker 2: And this goes back to the issue of the burrito,
Speaker 2: the infamous burrito. Now, my whole point was not that
Speaker 2: this is that a twenty dollars burrito is even the norm.
Speaker 2: I'm not even saying that, saying in the minds of voters,
Speaker 2: they think it cost twenty bucks, all right, they think
Speaker 2: the average if a college kid is paying seventeen bucks
Speaker 2: for burrito with you know, basically, it's thinking that's a
Speaker 2: twenty dollars burrito, right, And to ignore the feelings in
Speaker 2: the anxieties of your voters, I think is political malfeasance.
Speaker 2: But the point is that we have to be offering
Speaker 2: a positive vision, and I think we've got away from that,
Speaker 2: and we need to be messaging on that, and we
Speaker 2: need to declare our wins loudly and proudly. The chief
Speaker 2: among them obviously is the border, but there's myriad other wins.
Speaker 2: There's multiple other areas of the country and the economy
Speaker 2: that we could genuinely point to as being hugely successful.
Speaker 2: And we need to do that, all right, So, Blake,
Speaker 2: it's not just about the approval of working class voters
Speaker 2: when it comes to MAGA. This is hitting Trump himself
Speaker 2: now to sixteen. So how about what the same group
Speaker 2: is saying about Donald Trump specifically?
Speaker 5: Okay, so you know what the idea of being Okay,
Speaker 5: maybe they've soured on MAGA, but they haven't saved soured
Speaker 5: on MAGA. But maybe they haven't soured I mean Donald
Speaker 5: Trump might be saying, ain't the true Take a look here, okay,
Speaker 5: non college voters on Trump? Hello, Okay, In the twenty
Speaker 5: twenty four election, he won him by thirteen points, right,
Speaker 5: that was the reason he won. He won among non
Speaker 5: college voters, a very strong performance amongst them, and that,
Speaker 5: of course was the reason he was able to win
Speaker 5: because college voters were against him. But look at this now,
Speaker 5: minus nineteen points, minus nineteen points, we're talking about even
Speaker 5: bigger shift here.
Speaker 4: We're talking about what is this.
Speaker 5: This is a thirty two point shift away from the
Speaker 5: President of the United States when it comes to his
Speaker 5: key core political group.
Speaker 2: I am not black pilling. There is never a black pill,
Speaker 2: never allowed, never allowed. But if you don't look at that,
Speaker 2: and you don't say to yourself, five alarm fire, then
Speaker 2: you're crazy. Okay, You've got your head stuck in the sand.
Speaker 2: We have to look at that and say, the very
Speaker 2: group of people that we came to rely on that
Speaker 2: it was like, I mean, those people were gonna walk
Speaker 2: on broken glass and hot coals to go vote for
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. When we see a divergence like that, something
Speaker 2: incredibly wrong has happened. Something incredibly bad has happened. Okay,
Speaker 2: And why it gets worse And we have to be
Speaker 2: honest about this because it's August tenth, we got November
Speaker 2: coming up in just months now, is that it's going
Speaker 2: to impact congressional candidates who We're going to have two
Speaker 2: of them on in the next segment because it's that important.
Speaker 2: We got to get behind these people. And before I
Speaker 2: play this clip, let me just say all of America
Speaker 2: and the West Western civilization hinges on the fact the
Speaker 2: Conservative stay in power. I hate to say it to
Speaker 2: you that much. There's no pressure here, folks, but this
Speaker 2: is how bad it is, and we've got to change something.
Speaker 2: We got to change our messaging. It's top seventeen.
Speaker 5: Choice for the House non college voters twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 5: Look at this, Republicans plus thirteen points. Now Democrats. Democrats
Speaker 5: actually lean among non college voters in an out Paul's
Speaker 5: it's just a point, but you know it when it
Speaker 5: comes to a point. And given how well the Democrats
Speaker 5: are doing among college volders, these are the types of
Speaker 5: numbers in which blue waves are built.
Speaker 2: That's not all the vote, by the way, this is
Speaker 2: again just working class voters. Trump's bedrock constituency. The most
Speaker 2: foundational element of that constituency. I mean, if you have
Speaker 2: a college degree, you're like, so far blue, it's beyond crazy.
Speaker 2: That's why that's why college is a scam. Yet another
Speaker 2: reason a lot of people educated beyond their intelligence. This
Speaker 2: is non college educated, working class voters here, Blake. So
Speaker 2: the question is what do we do about it? Now?
Speaker 2: I'll throw it to you, Blake. What would you like
Speaker 2: to see from a messaging standpoint and from a policy
Speaker 2: standpoint in the next couple of months that can turn
Speaker 2: hopefully some of this around. Well.
Speaker 4: I think we've discussed this a lot. I think it's
Speaker 4: pretty likely the thing at this point, the biggest thing
Speaker 4: he could do to try and around the tide is
Speaker 4: probably he has to find a way to credibly end
Speaker 4: the conflict in Iran. I think you and I both
Speaker 4: saw that was a big point where things started to
Speaker 4: go south with a lot of people. And it's not
Speaker 4: so much whether the war is going well or not.
Speaker 4: And it's not even whether Donald Trump himself campaigned on
Speaker 4: no new wars. I know a lot of people who
Speaker 4: touted President Trump said that, but Trump himself was more
Speaker 4: measured in what he said. Nevertheless, I think it's very
Speaker 4: clear a lot of people had the perception that was
Speaker 4: a reason to vote for Trump, that he had the
Speaker 4: credibility of being the guy who didn't want more new wars.
Speaker 4: And when the Iran war broke out. A lot of
Speaker 4: people felt super burned about that, and we're only a
Speaker 4: few months out from the election. At this point. We
Speaker 4: can make we can maybe talk about economic messaging in
Speaker 4: a better way, but that stuff is sticky, It moves slowly,
Speaker 4: and I think the only thing where you can get
Speaker 4: like a big flash headline that would be positive in
Speaker 4: winning these people over is getting the Iran war credibly
Speaker 4: towards a permanent resolution and saying I took care of this.
Speaker 4: It's not a thing you're going to have to worry
Speaker 4: about for the next two years. Beyond that message, Jamel,
Speaker 4: I think we've talked if Congress could come out and say, hey,
Speaker 4: we just passed a bill to block more stock trading
Speaker 4: and insider dealing by members of Congress. We just pass
Speaker 4: some sort of anti corruption measures stuff like that. That
Speaker 4: could be a good headline. And the Save Act Save
Speaker 4: Act is not necessarily going to be every swing voter,
Speaker 4: but the people who are disapproving because they're base voters
Speaker 4: who feel let down, they would be won over by that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got to address base concerns because we're we
Speaker 2: have a base fatigue issue, right, the base enthusiasm issue.
Speaker 2: We've got to give them a reason to be enthusiastic again.
Speaker 2: By the way, breaking news this morning, which I think
Speaker 2: is totally red meat, and people laugh at the expression
Speaker 2: red meat. I love red meat. Give us more. We
Speaker 2: need to feast on red meat right now. Wow. Secretary
Speaker 2: of State Marco Rubio says the Trump administration has revoked
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy five thousand visas since President Trump
Speaker 2: took office, including visas held by foreign nationals accused of
Speaker 2: crimes such as fraud and sexual abuse, as well as
Speaker 2: people who celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk. So we
Speaker 2: have foreigners coming in here celebrating Charlie's assassination. Rubio emphasized
Speaker 2: that a visa is permission to enter the United States,
Speaker 2: not a constitutional right nor a right to stay here. Boom,
Speaker 2: get them the heck out. By the way, h one
Speaker 2: bees are all but gone. Just you're aware, the Trump
Speaker 2: administration has basically ended h one b's. Now, if you
Speaker 2: let a Democrat back in office, gets what's gonna happen
Speaker 2: with those h one bs. I'm gonna shoot right back
Speaker 2: up again, Yeah, Andrew, So the wins are there, go ahead.
Speaker 4: I just think it's so worth emphasizing that that people
Speaker 4: will say, oh, I'm going to go for a Democrat
Speaker 4: because they're better on affordability or whatever. And the number
Speaker 4: one thing you have to emphasize this, it doesn't really
Speaker 4: matter what Democrats are for domestically, because they are still
Speaker 4: all in on abolish the West commit national suicide. They're
Speaker 4: worse on that than ever. They're worse on that in
Speaker 4: every country. They're not moderating one inch. It basically doesn't
Speaker 4: matter what their other views are.
Speaker 2: If you're struggling with cravings, bloating, and stubborn weight gain,
Speaker 2: your gut health is probably playing a bigger role than
Speaker 2: you think. A damaged microbiome can affect everything from inflammation
Speaker 2: and digestion to cravings and weight gain, and with today's
Speaker 2: process foods and environmental toxin, a lot of people's digestive
Speaker 2: health is taking a big, major hit, which is why
Speaker 2: taking care of your gut health may be more important
Speaker 2: now than ever before. That's where a fermented food called
Speaker 2: kimchi can make a real difference. Kimchi is naturally rich
Speaker 2: in over nine hundred probiotic strains that help support gut bacteria.
Speaker 2: Because when your gut bacteria are properly supported, your body
Speaker 2: is better able to process food efficiently, regulate cravings, and
Speaker 2: support digestion even maintain a healthier metabolism. Overall, studies show
Speaker 2: that eating kimchi can reduce your body fat by thirty
Speaker 2: one point eight percent, but supporting your gut microbiome takes consistency,
Speaker 2: and most people aren't eating kimchi every day because of
Speaker 2: the taste, of the smell, the hassle that comes with
Speaker 2: getting it. That's why bright Core created Kimchi one, delivering

Speaker 2: John Strand. This is a wide open race down there
Speaker 2: in Florida's nineteenth. This is the seat that Byron Donald's
Speaker 2: left to run for governor, and now John Strand is
Speaker 2: up there. He's the turning point Action endorsed candidate in
Speaker 2: Florida's nineteenth southwest corner of the state, really important territory. John,
Speaker 2: welcome back to the show. Tell us how's the race
Speaker 2: going and what is the timing? When? When is the
Speaker 2: primary happening?
Speaker 6: Andrew, it's always amazing to be with you. Thank you, Blake.
Speaker 6: You guys are rocking it. And yeah, voting starts yesterday
Speaker 6: or actually Saturday. Early voting is happening as we speak.
Speaker 6: So you guys can make a real difference in this
Speaker 6: race simply by talking about it, telling your friends get
Speaker 6: out the vote. That's applies to every primary, but in
Speaker 6: Florida it's hot and heavy right now. It is a
Speaker 6: wide open race with ten Republicans all vying for Byron
Speaker 6: Donald's seat. Only one of them qualified with voter signatures,
Speaker 6: and that is the turning point. Endorsed candidate myself, John Strand.
Speaker 6: We're very honored by that support from patriots all across
Speaker 6: Florida and the nation, and really excited to be the
Speaker 6: outsider independent America, first patriot candidate that's really fighting for
Speaker 6: what really matters, you know, not political rhetoric or talking points,
Speaker 6: but really restoring courage, common sense, and Judeo Christian values
Speaker 6: back into government so that we can finally end the fraud, waste,
Speaker 6: and abuse that is bankrupting in a nation, both morally
Speaker 6: and financially, and then try to actually resurrect a government
Speaker 6: that would deliver what Americans demand, which is security, affordability,
Speaker 6: and accountability. So it's very straightforward, common sense. It is
Speaker 6: a wild race in Florida, but you can make a
Speaker 6: difference at johnstrand dot com. Go there and sign up
Speaker 6: to support us and share the word that we got
Speaker 6: to vote for change, vote for courage, vote John Strand
Speaker 6: patriot for Congress.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, John, I just you're one of
Speaker 2: those guys that if you win this primary, I have
Speaker 2: zero doubt that you're gonna do the right thing when
Speaker 2: you get into too d C. So if you are
Speaker 2: amazed out there that is, yeah, that's worried that you
Speaker 2: when you send these guys off to DC, they just
Speaker 2: turn their back on you. No, John is gonna be
Speaker 2: a guy that's gonna you know, Blake mentioned stop you
Speaker 2: know that these uh insider trading deals and the you
Speaker 2: know the the you know, ban stocks trading, insider trading
Speaker 2: for Congress. Okay, John's a guy that'll do that because
Speaker 2: he's not driven by money. John's the guy that's gonna
Speaker 2: work to you know, any common sense based initiative past
Speaker 2: the Save America Act all this stuff. He's not gonna
Speaker 2: be trying to import more foreigners into this country. So
Speaker 2: if you're nervous about sending people to DC that betray you,
Speaker 2: you do not have to be worried about that with John. John,
Speaker 2: I will tell you your story is amazing. So why
Speaker 2: don't you just give the the biography one more time
Speaker 2: for people who are still getting to know you.
Speaker 6: Absolutely. So, my dad served in the US Navy. He
Speaker 6: was actually stationed in Florida where My brother was born
Speaker 6: in Pennsylvania, where my sister was born in California, where
Speaker 6: I was born. I was living and working as an
Speaker 6: actor and writer when COVID came crashing down around all
Speaker 6: of us. I led a freedom rally that President Trump
Speaker 6: tweeted because we were bringing tens of thousands to Los
Speaker 6: Angeles of all places, to push back against lockdowns and
Speaker 6: support the MAGA movement. I became the creative director for
Speaker 6: America's Frontline Doctors, traveled the nation, including speaking in DC
Speaker 6: on January sixth, when I was then caught up in
Speaker 6: the FED surrection, arrested, charged with a twenty year felony
Speaker 6: even though I did nothing wrong, and given a golden
Speaker 6: parachute plea deal of a single misdemeanor to make it
Speaker 6: all go away. But that was a false confession and
Speaker 6: a weapon against President Trump and his supporters, and refused
Speaker 6: to portray my fellow Americans. I took a twenty year
Speaker 6: felony on the chin andrew as you know, praying for
Speaker 6: God to bring about a just result, and I won
Speaker 6: at the Supreme Court and then had all five charges
Speaker 6: vacated with prejudice, so legally exonered within the legal system
Speaker 6: fighting on the ground ever since to support President Trump
Speaker 6: and the restoration of America. I did write a book
Speaker 6: in a prison cell about this extraordinary stories on the
Speaker 6: screen behind me, called Patriot Plea. It's not just my story, though.
Speaker 6: This book will change your life, I promise if you
Speaker 6: read it, and it is a manifesto to the nation
Speaker 6: to remind us what is America? Who are we as Americans?
Speaker 6: And are we going to make the choice that is
Speaker 6: in front of us. We are at a crossroads in
Speaker 6: this nation. Twenty twenty six is not the midterms. It's
Speaker 6: the final countdown to decide if we're going to engage
Speaker 6: in our government and realize that twenty twenty six is
Speaker 6: our generations seventeen seventy six. This is not hyperbole a rhetoric.
Speaker 6: We are in a revolutionary moment. Charlie knew this well
Speaker 6: and he has given us such an incredible example. But
Speaker 6: really it comes down to the choice that each and
Speaker 6: every one of us can and must make. What am
Speaker 6: I going to do today with the situation that God
Speaker 6: has put me in, and with the promise that God
Speaker 6: has given me, if we turn to the Lord, if
Speaker 6: we seek and pray his face, pray towards his face
Speaker 6: and seek his name. He will hear from heaven and
Speaker 6: heal our land. That is the promise that we're working
Speaker 6: and praying towards. You can help us at Johnstrand dot
Speaker 6: com this week as early voting is happening now. But
Speaker 6: no matter where you live and what you do, give
Speaker 6: it to the Lord. Be serious about it and sober minded,
Speaker 6: and God can work miracles through your life. He certainly
Speaker 6: has through mine.
Speaker 2: Amen, John, I want to get just your vibe on
Speaker 2: the ground. You're talking to voters constantly. We are in
Speaker 2: a different political moment than we were in twenty twenty four. Obviously,
Speaker 2: you know there is some headwinds right and there is
Speaker 2: some enthusiasm issue with the base. What are you seeing
Speaker 2: and when you talk to voters, what are they begging
Speaker 2: for more? Give us that insight on the ground.
Speaker 6: I would say they're begging for the things you would
Speaker 6: expect them to be calling and demanding common sense, driving
Speaker 6: out the corruption. They want to have an affordable opportunity
Speaker 6: to actually buy a home, invest in the American dream,
Speaker 6: the things that are always an issue. But above and
Speaker 6: beyond that, I think they're really sick and tired of
Speaker 6: the propaganda and the grift and just the sense like
Speaker 6: you mentioned that we send these people to Washington and
Speaker 6: they just continually betray us or fade into the background,
Speaker 6: but nothing significant ever actually changes. So I think they
Speaker 6: really do want change and courage. They want integrity. Gen
Speaker 6: Z and the younger generation that I am living in,
Speaker 6: we are dying for honesty and authenticity. That's what they're
Speaker 6: demanding on the ground here in Southwest Florida, like say
Speaker 6: what you mean and mean what you say. It's not
Speaker 6: exactly complicated, right, but it's just so rare to actually
Speaker 6: have people who believe in something certainly, that believe in
Speaker 6: something good and sensible, and that will actually walk the
Speaker 6: walk and fight for it, especially if it costs them personally.
Speaker 6: That's the heart and the theme of Patriot Plea, the
Speaker 6: story that I only wrote in a prison cell but
Speaker 6: lived in my life for years, and that I'm bringing
Speaker 6: to this campaign. But it's much more than just me
Speaker 6: or a campaign this, Like I said, it's a crossroads
Speaker 6: moment in America. The voters on the ground can feel
Speaker 6: and sense that, and they want sincerity, authenticity, and I
Speaker 6: think they want bravery. They want it in themselves and
Speaker 6: they want to see it reflected in their leadership. And
Speaker 6: I think that's what Charlie really inspired all of us
Speaker 6: to do, and to believe that all of us are
Speaker 6: capable of being brave, of being bold, of understanding what's
Speaker 6: true and then fighting for it. Also, of course, Charlie
Speaker 6: told us the most amazing thing that he ever said,
Speaker 6: that he wanted to be remembered for courage, for his
Speaker 6: faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the truth
Speaker 6: of the Bible as our foundation. And I read through
Speaker 6: the Founding Fathers carefully as I wrote this book. You'll
Speaker 6: find a lot of that material. But they were so
Speaker 6: clear eyed about the objective reality of truth that it
Speaker 6: comes from God. Our rights come from God and not
Speaker 6: the government. That's why they're unalienable. And the proper role
Speaker 6: of government is very limited to fit within the constitution
Speaker 6: and to protect our rights from infringement, not to help us,
Speaker 6: you know. A great actor and then statesman from California,
Speaker 6: Ronald Reagan reminded us the most terrifying words in the
Speaker 6: English language. Nine most terrifying words are I'm from the
Speaker 6: government and I'm here to help. So we need to
Speaker 6: remember what America is really about what the Constitution is for,
Speaker 6: and we need to fight to restore those foundations. And
Speaker 6: I think that foundational courage and truth is what people
Speaker 6: are looking for.
Speaker 2: You're right, it's this is Christendom. We're fighting for Christendom
Speaker 2: on some level. Yes, go ahead, Blake, we are so John,
Speaker 2: You're correct. I think voters they want authenticity, they want bravery.
Speaker 2: Before you came on, we were discussing what could Republicans
Speaker 2: who have the House right now be doing to win
Speaker 2: people's trust, and we are the ones in power right
Speaker 2: now if there is a lot of frustration that is
Speaker 2: somewhat on our faction. Let's say you were in the
Speaker 2: House right now, what do you think you might be
Speaker 2: fighting for trying to help ram through, to restore that
Speaker 2: trust from voters, to make them feel like Washington has
Speaker 2: changed in a positive direction.
Speaker 6: Excellent question, Blake. Number One, without a doubt, is the
Speaker 6: Save America Act. And I think the fact that it's
Speaker 6: bottled up in the Senate. They're claiming they need sixty votes,
Speaker 6: which is a lie. That's just ridicul We know they
Speaker 6: can pass it with fifty votes and the vice president
Speaker 6: if they simply do their job, but they're not doing
Speaker 6: their job because they just can't be bothered. And that
Speaker 6: alone tells everyone this system is rigged. It's a farce.
Speaker 6: They don't give a rat's tail end about us as
Speaker 6: people and as Americans. How can anyone buy into this?
Speaker 6: So in Congress I would be I would be absolutely
Speaker 6: lambasting them and demanding no more excuses, get it done now,
Speaker 6: because the whole thing is a sham if we don't
Speaker 6: have legitimate elections. And the second thing I would do, Blake,
Speaker 6: is I would be proposing, as I am, the twenty
Speaker 6: twenty Sovereignty Act, twenty years of zero immigration read my lips,
Speaker 6: no immigration, lock down the borders, and twenty million deportations
Speaker 6: accelerated over five years or four years. I want to
Speaker 6: see five million per year because we have to protect
Speaker 6: our people and build up the middle class. People don't realize, Blake,
Speaker 6: that during n from nineteen twenty four to sixty four,
Speaker 6: we had an immigration moratorium and middle class exploded. So
Speaker 6: he can return to that principle of protecting our people
Speaker 6: and actually locked down the country as far as our sovereignty.
Speaker 6: And I think that's what people want to see.
Speaker 2: John Strand, you had me at Hello with that twenty
Speaker 2: years of sovereignty. A man I was clapping. I hope
Speaker 2: you heard it. Get this man into Congress. People, please
Speaker 2: support him. Go to Johnstrand dot com. Right, do I
Speaker 2: get the url?
Speaker 6: It was just you got it, John Strand?
Speaker 2: All right, all right, get this guy into Washington. John,
Speaker 2: God bless you, my friend, and godspeed next Tuesday, and
Speaker 2: it's early. Voting has already started, So get behind this man.
Speaker 2: God bless you. We'll talk to you soon on when
Speaker 2: you win.
Speaker 6: This thing, talk to you soon, God bless.
Speaker 2: We have Michael Alfonso on now. So we had him
Speaker 2: last week. His primary, I believe is tomorrow. He is
Speaker 2: like exactly what, he's straight out of Central Casting, gen
Speaker 2: Z fighter, enthusiastic. The answer to so much of what
Speaker 2: we are facing right now is a new generation of
Speaker 2: leaders that are willing to be bold and courageous. Michael,
Speaker 2: welcome back to the show. My friend Blake's got a
Speaker 2: really good question for you. But just first give us
Speaker 2: the landscape and the timing and what you're up against.
Speaker 2: How's it looking all the stuff with your race?
Speaker 7: You know, it's really exciting. The election is tomorrow. You
Speaker 7: know it's a low turnout primary, so really anything can happen,
Speaker 7: so it depends on whose people show up to vote.
Speaker 7: So I'm really excited. I think our people are really energized,
Speaker 7: and they're excited to have someone who's actually going to
Speaker 7: support the president's agenda, not just in an election year,
Speaker 7: but all the time and actually fight for the American people.
Speaker 7: And That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, we're very glad to have you back.
Speaker 4: We were discussing at the top of the show. We
Speaker 4: were talking about headwinds that we're facing. That there are
Speaker 4: polls that show gen z is a lot more frustrated
Speaker 4: with the president than they were in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: Non college voters are a lot more frustrated about the
Speaker 4: MAGA movement, as they call it, and we were discussing
Speaker 4: what can we do to turn this around the next months,
Speaker 4: And we asked this of our last guests as well.
Speaker 4: So you're running to be in the House. Let's say
Speaker 4: you were in the House right now. If people are
Speaker 4: frustrated we control the government, we have to own that
Speaker 4: to some extent. What should Congress be doing right now?
Speaker 4: You think that would be showing that the Republican Party,
Speaker 4: the Conservative movement, the mega movement are fighting for them,
Speaker 4: are delivering on their promises, and that they should get
Speaker 4: another term running the country.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Republicans have always had a messaging problem. They don't
Speaker 7: talk about the things that matter to voters. If they
Speaker 7: want to win young people, it's actually the same as
Speaker 7: winning the working class, the middle class. Talk about the
Speaker 7: working families. Tax cuts. Americans, wisconsonates right here in my
Speaker 7: state are seeing ten thousand dollars a year more on
Speaker 7: their take home pay. They're getting three thousand dollars a
Speaker 7: year more back on their taxes. President Trump is the
Speaker 7: only person out there who's actually fighting for the working class.
Speaker 7: And I'll tell you what, it's not these silver spoons
Speaker 7: and socialists who are running in Wisconsin again telling you, oh,
Speaker 7: we'll just give you free stuff again. The only thing
Speaker 7: that the free stuff lie does is make everyone equitable
Speaker 7: in their levels of suffering.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Nothing's free either, by the way, you know,
Speaker 2: LSI ed was just on the record saying, yeah, guess
Speaker 2: what if you want us as free healthcare for everybody,
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be free at all. Your taxes are
Speaker 2: going up for middle class people. So it's you know,
Speaker 2: there is nothing free as Margaret Thatcher said, you eventually
Speaker 2: you run out of other people's money. That is the
Speaker 2: case here, and by the way, it causes stagnation, economic malaise, shortages.
Speaker 2: You usually have a drop off. By the way, when
Speaker 2: you talk about healthcare and just the quality of healthcare,
Speaker 2: let's talk about gen Z though specifically, right gen Z specifically,
Speaker 2: when you're out there, Michael Alfonso, and you're talking to
Speaker 2: young voters, you're talking to working class voters, what are
Speaker 2: they begging for you? I asked the same question the
Speaker 2: last guest who's running for Congress as well, What are
Speaker 2: you hearing from vote?
Speaker 7: You know, honestly, they just want to see an elected
Speaker 7: official who will actually have to live with the consequences
Speaker 7: of their decisions. I mean, we got Mitch McConnell in
Speaker 7: office who probably is already dead making decisions. It's ridiculous,
Speaker 7: the idea that we're going to have people running this
Speaker 7: country who don't deal with the consequences. The thing about
Speaker 7: being twenty six, whatever I decide, where however I vote,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna have to deal with it. And my daughter
Speaker 7: is also going to have to deal with it. And
Speaker 7: I care about the working class of America. I don't
Speaker 7: care about the upper crust. I want to make sure
Speaker 7: that Middle America is not being hollowed out and mortgaged
Speaker 7: off to these coastal elites anymore.
Speaker 2: I think that's great. I mean, listen, when you have kids,
Speaker 2: you have skin in the game like never before. Okay.
Speaker 2: You know, we talk about AOC's freezing her eggs, like
Speaker 2: and she's missed working class family representative. No, you just
Speaker 2: simply do not understand in the same way you will
Speaker 2: when you have kids. Okay. And I mean when we
Speaker 2: talk to young people, they know. Everybody made a big
Speaker 2: deal about this twenty dollars burrito debate last week. It
Speaker 2: was like all over the place. But the point is
Speaker 2: we have to acknowledge the fact that things do feel
Speaker 2: hard right now for a lot of people. And you
Speaker 2: had this K shaped economy thanks to COVID and unlimited
Speaker 2: money printing. But things are getting better. We are seeing
Speaker 2: movement in the right direction. We had Scott Bessen on
Speaker 2: last week. Do you know that wages are rising faster
Speaker 2: than inflation for the lowest twenty five percentile right in
Speaker 2: the economy, the wage earners, the salary workers, they're they're
Speaker 2: rising faster than inflation for the middle class earners, right,
Speaker 2: so a little bit higher up, that's good movement. If
Speaker 2: you tack those on quarter after quarter, quarter after quarter,
Speaker 2: you will start having the fruits of these economic pauses.
Speaker 2: Is economic nationalism will actually take effect and people start
Speaker 2: feeling it. We got to stay the course right now.
Speaker 2: DSA is promising a bunch of free stuff. It's not
Speaker 2: gonna work. Free stuff doesn't work, you run out of it. Finally,
Speaker 2: your your message to those people that are being lured
Speaker 2: to DSA. You have a Cuban descent, that's part of
Speaker 2: your story. What would your warning be to them?
Speaker 7: My warning would be the exact same one that my
Speaker 7: grandfather told me. I had a country to run to,
Speaker 7: you don't. This is the last bastion of freedom. Where
Speaker 7: are we going to go? Canada it's even worse. Mexico,
Speaker 7: it's even worse. America is the last chance for Christian
Speaker 7: freedom and we need to protect it down to the
Speaker 7: absolute last person.
Speaker 2: I totally agree. We have this clip from JD. Vance
Speaker 2: I want to pull if we have it, but it's
Speaker 2: talking about economic nationalism and it's I don't see it on.
Speaker 2: But the point is, if we stay the course here Michael,
Speaker 2: this is the route out of this. Charlie used to say,
Speaker 2: we have Maga or we have mom. Donnie. The country
Speaker 2: is faced with a fork in the road right now,
Speaker 2: and you have these revolutionary passions rising up, and we
Speaker 2: have to Okay, so is it? Yeah? Clip eight. I
Speaker 2: think jd. Vance does a great job explaining it. I'll
Speaker 2: let him do it. Clip eight.
Speaker 8: A lot of Americans look at this rising tide of
Speaker 8: socialism and say, how did we get here?
Speaker 3: We got here by forty years of bipartisan leaders selling
Speaker 3: our industrial base to foreign countries, allowing low wage immigrants
Speaker 3: to come in and compete with Americans for jobs.
Speaker 8: By destroying the foundation of the middle class.
Speaker 2: That's how you got socialism.
Speaker 8: How you fix that problem is by doubling down on
Speaker 8: Donald Trump's economic nationalism, not going back to the way
Speaker 8: we've done things for the past fourtwhere it's tailed everywhere
Speaker 8: it's tried, and it always leads to socialism. It always
Speaker 8: leads exactly where we are. The only way to get
Speaker 8: out of it is to double down on the economics
Speaker 8: of the past eighteen months.
Speaker 2: Amen, all right, Michael, last thirty seconds to you give
Speaker 2: us the timing of the race and what do people
Speaker 2: do to get involved?
Speaker 7: Yeah, the race is tomorrow, so polls are open until
Speaker 7: eight pm Central time. We need every single person to
Speaker 7: get out and vote. I know young people can feel
Speaker 7: like their vote doesn't matter, but if you don't go
Speaker 7: out and vote, you have nothing to complain about. You
Speaker 7: have a chance to make a difference right now. So
Speaker 7: go to Alfonso for Wisconsin dot com. You can sign
Speaker 7: up for any informational letters, but we need your vote tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Amen. We need gen Z energy in there. And by
Speaker 2: the way, you can blackpil all you want, but there's
Speaker 2: people working and building. Those are the people you can trust.
Speaker 2: They're fighting for the future. That's Michael Alfonso in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: God bless you, brother. We got your back and we
Speaker 2: look forward to seeing you victorious tomorrow. Hi folks, Andrew
Speaker 2: Colvett here, I'd like to tell you about my friends
Speaker 2: over at why Refi. You've probably been hearing me talk
Speaker 2: about y REFI for some time now. We are all

Speaker 2: is struggling with private student loan debt, take my advice

Speaker 2: Just go to wyrefi dot com. That's the letter why
Speaker 2: then refi dot com. And remember y Refi doesn't care
Speaker 2: what your credit score is. Just go to yrefi dot
Speaker 2: com and tell them your friend Andrews sent you. We
Speaker 2: have a great guest in store for you, and that is,
Speaker 2: of course, Christopher Rufo. We tried to do this last week,
Speaker 2: but I believe we're in good shape today. Chris does
Speaker 2: so much stuff, including work with the City Journal in
Speaker 2: Manhattan Institute, Hillsdale College. He's got Rufo and Lomez, which
Speaker 2: is a great show you guys should be checking out.
Speaker 2: We love both those guys and I think they're really
Speaker 2: important right now, especially in this era. So without further ado, Chris,
Speaker 2: welcome back. Chris Rufo, the man, the myth, the legend.
Speaker 2: He is there, all right, Chris. So, the original inspiration
Speaker 2: for having you on was you had this great, just
Speaker 2: very common sense reaction to burrito gate, which was I
Speaker 2: just felt it was It was very how do I
Speaker 2: say it was refreshing because you said this one fifty one,
Speaker 2: you said crazy to see free market conservatives tell anxious
Speaker 2: young people to shut up and accept double digit inflation
Speaker 2: instead of taking the opportunity to explain that inflation is
Speaker 2: a direct result of bad government policy. It's perfectly fine
Speaker 2: to notice that burritos shouldn't beat twenty dollars instead, Chris,
Speaker 2: we got this whole debate of like, ah, they're not
Speaker 2: twenty dollars actually, and oh you should be cooking from home,
Speaker 2: and boloney and craft singles and all kinds of stuff
Speaker 2: happened in which I just felt like, God, it's so confused.
Speaker 2: Please please please ground us again in what good policy
Speaker 2: should be and where does inflation actually come from and
Speaker 2: why that's so important for the next generation to understand.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, great, great question. It's good to be with you,
Speaker 9: And sorry for last week. I had three kids with vomiting,
Speaker 9: and then I caught it, and I was in nose
Speaker 9: shape on Friday. But we're back, We're back in action today.
Speaker 9: So look, I've been there. Here's the burrito thing, all right.
Speaker 9: The burrito debate was not actually about burritos. The burritos
Speaker 9: became a symbol or a signifier, and then everybody took
Speaker 9: their whatever their pet ideological issues and tried to jam
Speaker 9: it into this huge debate burrito and it was. It
Speaker 9: got so weird that people are like, no, even if
Speaker 9: the burritos are twenty dollars, we have to keep bombing Iran, Like.
Speaker 2: Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 9: So yeah, the basic thing is, Look, neo conservatives who
Speaker 9: are if the interventionist on foreign policy and free marketing economics,
Speaker 9: I half agree with them. I'm also free market on economics.
Speaker 9: I think supply side economics works. I think monetary critiques
Speaker 9: of inflation are are largely accurate. The price of goods
Speaker 9: went up a lot during COVID because the Trump administration
Speaker 9: and then the Biden administration flooded the United States with
Speaker 9: dollars just as the amount of goods was contracting. Right,
Speaker 9: so supply chains are tightening the amount of goods and
Speaker 9: circulation is contracting.
Speaker 2: Slightly.
Speaker 9: The flood of dollars goes out. This is like economics
Speaker 9: one oh one in high school. You know that's going
Speaker 9: to lead to inflation. And then the reason the inflation.
Speaker 9: It happened mostly in the Biden administration. It slowed down
Speaker 9: during Trump. But people are starting to feel the inflation
Speaker 9: in two ways. One in their big, big picture family budgets.
Speaker 9: Housing is very expensive, college education is very expensive. Health
Speaker 9: insurance is very expensive. Car insurance is very expensive. It
Speaker 9: squeezes your budget so that when you go to a
Speaker 9: Chipotle or a kind of upscale, fast casual burrito place
Speaker 9: and your burrito is twenty dollars, that feels more significant.
Speaker 2: And look, it is more significant.
Speaker 9: And Republicans who are just going to say shut up,
Speaker 9: accept that that that you know that these kind of
Speaker 9: small luxuries, right, small indulgences. Yeah, they're up fifty percent
Speaker 9: in five years, but just shut up because your grandpa
Speaker 9: ate rat meat during the Great Depression.
Speaker 2: Like, okay, from a large point of.
Speaker 9: View, yeah, you should learn from your from your ancestors
Speaker 9: who went through hard times.
Speaker 2: You should use it as inspiration, but as a political matter,
Speaker 2: like what are we doing?
Speaker 9: That's just political suicide to tell people to accept fifty
Speaker 9: percent inflation on the on small indulgences, and I just
Speaker 9: don't take it very seriously from people who claim to
Speaker 9: be free market fiscal conservatives monetary conservatives to just justify
Speaker 9: inflation because they fear that the critique is really about.
Speaker 2: The war and that's what was happening.
Speaker 9: And I think people should just accept should should not
Speaker 9: fall for the face facial debate, but should actually go
Speaker 9: for Why are people seemingly to arguing something that they
Speaker 9: actually don't support in principle.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Chris, I thought about whatever you make of what
Speaker 4: causes inflation, it felt like weird territory to be fighting
Speaker 4: on because, as you mentioned, the biggest drivers of why
Speaker 4: life feels unaffordable, As you mentioned housing, healthcare, education, As
Speaker 4: you know, those are things that are very expensive, in
Speaker 4: large part because they are where the government is most involved,
Speaker 4: they meddle the most. These are all heavily socialized, even
Speaker 4: the twenty dollars burrito. I think when we dived into it,
Speaker 4: the context was often, this is what my college's meal
Speaker 4: program charges me for, and that's often a cartel where
Speaker 4: you're forced to sign up, and all of this is
Speaker 4: enabled with endless government student loans, and so what do
Speaker 4: you think rhetorically is the best approach to it, Because
Speaker 4: it struck me that the best pivot off of this
Speaker 4: should be we need to go after the real drivers
Speaker 4: of why your life is unaffordable, which is inextricably bound
Speaker 4: up with stuff that the left wants to just pump
Speaker 4: more free money into to keep the price rising.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's exactly right, and so you need to take
Speaker 9: the opportunity just say break it down. Why is a
Speaker 9: burrito twenty dollars Britos twenty dollars because of bad monetary policy,
Speaker 9: because of you know, you could say you could even
Speaker 9: talk about, you know, higher mandatory, high higher wages. You
Speaker 9: could talk about immigration. There's there's immigration for housing prices.
Speaker 9: I mean, there's a lot of ways to explain why
Speaker 9: the cost of goods has risen. There's a couple couple
Speaker 9: couple key things monetary policy, the government takeover of sectors
Speaker 9: of the economy, and mass immigration driving up the prices
Speaker 9: of things like entry level housing.
Speaker 2: Let's say, so just make.
Speaker 9: That argument and it's not about it's not about Trump,
Speaker 9: it's not about their war. Make the actual substance of
Speaker 9: economic argument. Because the other point that I was trying
Speaker 9: to make is right. Now, people are feeling well, and
Speaker 9: you could you could show them a million charts to
Speaker 9: try to explain to them why they shouldn't feel this way.
Speaker 9: But the reality is that people are feeling pinched economically.
Speaker 9: Even people who are a professional class income, let's say
Speaker 9: six figure income, have a one or two kids, living
Speaker 9: in a city or a close ring suburb, they're feeling pinched.
Speaker 9: And if they're hearing from one side, we're going to
Speaker 9: give you free healthcare, free childcare, you know, free college
Speaker 9: education for your kids. And the other side is shut
Speaker 9: up and eat the rat meat. You're going to get
Speaker 9: your clock cleaned every time. And so let's not be stupid,
Speaker 9: let's not pander, let's not offer our own version of
Speaker 9: free stuff. But actually, let's make a good argument that
Speaker 9: will solve people's problem that takes seriously their emotions. And again,
Speaker 9: conservatives need to ditch this twenty sixteen ridiculous idea that
Speaker 9: facts don't care about your feelings. The opposite is almost
Speaker 9: certainly more true in politics. Your feelings, if you have them,
Speaker 9: are impervious to the facts, to charts, to logic, and
Speaker 9: so find actually meet people where they are, say, you
Speaker 9: know what you're feeling pinched about in You're gonna hear
Speaker 9: this argument that you're gonna get everything for free from
Speaker 9: the DSA. But actually the DSA is the reason why
Speaker 9: those things are expensive in the first place. Come over here,
Speaker 9: let me explain to you why that these people are
Speaker 9: making it more expensive. They're taking away what you could have.
Speaker 9: They're flooding the country with dollar bills and mass migration
Speaker 9: and exploding costs. We have a smarter way that's actually
Speaker 9: going to solve your problem. Just like, make that argument,
Speaker 9: and I think it could be more successful.
Speaker 2: Well, I agree, and that that was the only reason.
Speaker 2: I think people were shocked that I would, you know,
Speaker 2: come in and admit that things are more expensive and
Speaker 2: that we have affordability crisis. But I even pointed to
Speaker 2: the fact that this was because this is a hangover
Speaker 2: from Biden or inflation and COVID, Like, let's be honest
Speaker 2: about those. The Titanic cannot turn on a dime. It's
Speaker 2: going to take a while for policies to take effect
Speaker 2: and affordability issues to ease, and I think everybody's just
Speaker 2: freaking out about that and making a proxy about Iran
Speaker 2: or something was just predictable, but like all the nuance
Speaker 2: was lost in the modern era.
Speaker 10: The important next step is to recognize that today governments
Speaker 10: control the quantity of money, so that as a result,
Speaker 10: inflation in the United States is made in Washington and
Speaker 10: nowhere else. If you listen to people in Washington talk,
Speaker 10: they will tell you that inflation is produced by greedy businessmen.
Speaker 10: But none of them produce inflation for the very simple
Speaker 10: reason that neither the businessman, nor the trade union nor
Speaker 10: the housewife has a printing press in their basement on
Speaker 10: which they can turn out those green pieces of paper
Speaker 10: we call money. Only Washington has that printing press, and
Speaker 10: therefore only Washington can produce inflation.
Speaker 2: A wise man, We're back, yeah, Chris, I I posted
Speaker 2: that on my ex account. But I just think it's
Speaker 2: so comforting to hear the wise way, like grounding this
Speaker 2: whole debate in something just fundamental that if you are
Speaker 2: mad about inflation, if you're mad about the cost of goods,
Speaker 2: that is a direct result of bad policy. And when
Speaker 2: you talk about DSA, when you talk about this rise
Speaker 2: of free stuff populism. They believe in something called modern
Speaker 2: monetary theory, which is basically an engine for unlimited inflation.
Speaker 2: So the floor is yours. How important is it to
Speaker 2: get just our facts right? Basic economic literacy?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, look, we tried modern monetary theory during COVID,
Speaker 9: and actually it worked out not like how the Dsay's
Speaker 9: economists thought it would work out, but it worked out
Speaker 9: precisely how Milton Friedman would have predicted it would work out. So, yeah,
Speaker 9: you flood the country with dollars, you print endless amounts
Speaker 9: of money, it causes inflation. And so I think, look,
Speaker 9: Econos will say, actually it's a little more complicated than
Speaker 9: monetary policy, only there's a couple of differ routes to get inflation.
Speaker 2: But we know for a.
Speaker 9: Fact that inflation is a core driver, and you could
Speaker 9: see this all over the world in all different types
Speaker 9: of history. And so I think another person who really
Speaker 9: understands this is our Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. And so
Speaker 9: what I would like to see from Secretary Bessent, who's
Speaker 9: really one of the best cabinet members in the Trump administration,
Speaker 9: is maybe to take on not the burrito debate that's
Speaker 9: probably a little below the pay grade for the Treasury secretary,
Speaker 9: but to start making the case for what the Trump
Speaker 9: administration has done. Right, They've reduced inflation significantly. You see
Speaker 9: a little uptick since the Iran War because of increased
Speaker 9: fuel prices, but it's actually now within that kind of
Speaker 9: target zone that is probably some would say that the
Speaker 9: right zone two percent ish a little tick higher. But
Speaker 9: I think also the administration needs to make a better
Speaker 9: case moving forward how they're going to.
Speaker 2: Actually tackle these issues.
Speaker 9: And I think, you know, they had the announcement about
Speaker 9: preventing black Crow or Blackstone or black whatever from buying
Speaker 9: the houses. I think that's probably more symbolic than substantive.
Speaker 9: But they really need to be talking about immigration, you know,
Speaker 9: that demand side inflation. They need to be talking about
Speaker 9: good monetary policy. They need to be talking about how
Speaker 9: they're going to break up some of those sectors of
Speaker 9: the economy that are you know, government backed cartels.
Speaker 2: And so we need to make a better debate.
Speaker 9: And I think what's happening is that the left is
Speaker 9: just sucking up all the oxygen on these issues with Mom, Donnie,
Speaker 9: with LSI, ED, with all these other DSA candidates.
Speaker 2: They are right now.
Speaker 9: I know conservatives don't want to hear this, but It's true.
Speaker 9: They're dominating the debate on affordability, and because these are
Speaker 9: all very top ticket issues for voters, they're going to
Speaker 9: win a lot of these campaigns in the midterms unless
Speaker 9: we see new arguments, new policies, new messaging from the right.
Speaker 2: Well, and listen, a lot of these bad ideas get
Speaker 2: started on CA they don't stay on campus. They go
Speaker 2: out into the government and the corporate boardrooms and all
Speaker 2: that stuff. That is what Charlie used to say. And
Speaker 2: we have this great story out of the UK.
Speaker 4: I'm so upsad. It's been bubbling up for two weeks
Speaker 4: at this point and we just have not gotten to it.
Speaker 4: I'm very sad. You know what I'm talking about, of course, Chris.
Speaker 4: This Jason R. Day a professor at the University of Cambridge,
Speaker 4: one of the oldest universities, one of the most distinguished
Speaker 4: in the world. And if you haven't followed this, you
Speaker 4: guys should all google this immediately because it's so funny.
Speaker 4: He was the youngest black professor in the history of
Speaker 4: the University of Cambridge, and he supposedly had this long
Speaker 4: list of accomplishments, very bizarre ones. He was saying he
Speaker 4: once ran six hundred miles in six days. He was
Speaker 4: claiming that racists were sending him pigsheads, whole long list
Speaker 4: of comical claims. He claimed he was a pool shark
Speaker 4: who made thousands of dollars. And then a former academic
Speaker 4: and Nathan Kaufnis analyzed his work and said, this guy
Speaker 4: is a plagiarist. All of his work is a sham.
Speaker 4: Got him dead to rights as a serial fraudster. Should
Speaker 4: have been fired immediately, and instead tons of left wing
Speaker 4: academics came out publicly signed a letter defending him, saying
Speaker 4: these are racist attacks on him, and it just turns
Speaker 4: out that was a bad guy to defend. So I
Speaker 4: wanted to ask you about this, Chris, because you're the
Speaker 4: guy who put CRT critical race theory into the mainstream.
Speaker 4: You've been one of the top voices in really making
Speaker 4: it okay for us to stand against DEEI. So the
Speaker 4: flora is yours for a few minutes. Talk to us
Speaker 4: about what this guy's career represents and how frankly, he's
Speaker 4: not really a character. He represents what we've allowed our
Speaker 4: institutions to do because we've done this for so many years.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, look, he's like a rich symbol. And
Speaker 9: what he illustrates all these different right wing arguments and
Speaker 9: then the deficiencies of.
Speaker 2: All the left wing arguments.
Speaker 9: He's like an allegory for these political concepts. And so
Speaker 9: the other thing he said is that he didn't learn
Speaker 9: how to read and write until after.
Speaker 2: He got a high school, until he was eighteen years old.
Speaker 9: That might be, you know, theoretically possible, but I think
Speaker 9: it's also very unlikely to be true. He didn't talk
Speaker 9: until he was, you know, a preteen or something. But look,
Speaker 9: what liberals want more than anything is to have a
Speaker 9: living symbol of poor, oppressed African American overcoming hardship. And
Speaker 9: so what Jason Arday gave liberal administrators of these institutions
Speaker 9: was a kind of Hallmark movie, Hallmark Channel movie of
Speaker 9: a magical overcoming of oppression. He adopted all of the
Speaker 9: buzzwords that they wanted to hear, and then he was
Speaker 9: just quickly and quite easily, you know, picked up and
Speaker 9: elevated through these institutions, the college degree, graduate degree, professorship
Speaker 9: at Cambridge, visiting professorships everywhere, one point four million dollars
Speaker 9: book deal to tell his life story. And this is
Speaker 9: like a fairy tale version that anyone that had basic
Speaker 9: scrutiny or anyone that had looked at his actual academic
Speaker 9: work could have easily seen with any amount of skepticism whatsoever,
Speaker 9: none of this checks out. Actually, this is none of
Speaker 9: this makes sense. This is all impossible. But the institutions
Speaker 9: are so dedicated to suppressing that reality in the interest
Speaker 9: of these racial fairy tales that they just kept him
Speaker 9: on this almost unlimited rise to power and the ending
Speaker 9: of the story and I'm glad you you held it
Speaker 9: so I could I could deliver it.
Speaker 2: Is that.
Speaker 9: Actually Cambridge itself also defended him against these accusations of plagiarism,
Speaker 9: which were completely true, saying, no, no, we looked at it.
Speaker 9: It's just racism. It's all fine. And so that the
Speaker 9: university itself, when faced with overwhelming evidence of the fraudulent
Speaker 9: life story, the fraudulent academic work, the fraudulent human being
Speaker 9: that they had elevated as their star professor, chose to
Speaker 9: defend the fraud because they're so committed to these racial
Speaker 9: fairy tales.
Speaker 2: And ultimately he resigned.
Speaker 9: So the story ends with some justice, But the real
Speaker 9: crime was not committed by our day. He was just
Speaker 9: a man playing the game. The crime was committed by
Speaker 9: our institutions.
Speaker 2: Amen, well said, Well said Christopher Rufo, Rufo and Lomos
Speaker 2: check it out. Thank you, my friend. This summer marks
Speaker 2: three years since the Dobbs decision, and since then, the
Speaker 2: total number of abortions each year has only increased. With
Speaker 2: greater access to telehealth and abortion pills in the mail medication.
Speaker 2: Abortions now account for more than sixty percent of all
Speaker 2: abortion and that number is only growing. That's why Preborn
Speaker 2: gives free ultrasounds to girls and women. When a young
Speaker 2: woman sees her baby and here's her heartbeat, it doubles
Speaker 2: the chance she'll choose life. So one hundred and forty
Speaker 2: dollars helps give five mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies.
Speaker 2: Two hundred and eighty dollars helps save ten babies, and
Speaker 2: just twenty eight dollars a month can save a baby
Speaker 2: a month for less than a dollar a day and
Speaker 2: a fifteen thousand gift and I know there's some of
Speaker 2: you out there. Fifteen thousand dollars gift will provide an
Speaker 2: ultrasound machine that will save the lives of countless babies
Speaker 2: for years to come call eight three three eight five
Speaker 2: zero two two two nine, or click on the preborn
Speaker 2: banner at Charliekirk dot com today.
Speaker 11: Preborn was so special to Charlie and it's so important
Speaker 11: to me as well. Right now, you can help make
Speaker 11: motherhood possible by providing ultrasounds with preborn. I'd be so
Speaker 11: honored if you'd prayerfully consider joining us.
Speaker 2: All right, without further ado, peache keenan one of our favorites.
Speaker 2: She is the one of the most famous American trad wives. Peachey,
Speaker 2: welcome back to the show. It's good to see you.
Speaker 12: Hey, guys, good to see you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't. I was looking at your Twitter, your
Speaker 2: ex profile, and I was like, I was like, it's
Speaker 2: really cool. The economist called you that. It's now. I
Speaker 2: didn't make this up. The economist did. So We've got
Speaker 2: so much to get into, but first and foremost, it
Speaker 2: is really I mean, over the weekend, it was like
Speaker 2: all I saw on my feed was AOC freezing her eggs.
Speaker 2: So we got to start there. Okay, it's kind of
Speaker 2: a longer clip. Well that's not that long. Here we go,
Speaker 2: sod eleven.
Speaker 13: Don't be weird about this, even though I know all
Speaker 13: of you will be Okay, that wasn't so bad.
Speaker 2: So that's her injecting herself, I guess with hormones to
Speaker 2: then harvest her eggs. I think it's worth starting there, actually, Peachy,
Speaker 2: the process for harvesting your eggs and freezing your eggs
Speaker 2: is extraordinarily invasive and hard and hormonal. Maybe just start
Speaker 2: there and then we'll get into why this is such
Speaker 2: a bad idea to be messaging to the culture.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a big commitment.
Speaker 14: You inject yourself repeatedly with these hormones, and then you
Speaker 14: have to go kind of under the under the knife,
Speaker 14: sort of under some general anesthetic or local and they
Speaker 14: harvest them, and they usually need to do the older
Speaker 14: you are, they need to the more times you have
Speaker 14: to do it. You know, if you're thirty and freezing,
Speaker 14: you can get away with maybe freezing ten or fifteen eggs,
Speaker 14: but if you're older, egg quality does go down and
Speaker 14: you when you defrost the eggs, there's few reviable ones
Speaker 14: who have to do, you know, twenty five thirty, So
Speaker 14: there's multiple there's a whole road, there's a whole journey
Speaker 14: you know that you go on and what I tweeted
Speaker 14: that freezing your eggs in your late thirties is the
Speaker 14: equivalent of opening a four one K when you're sixty
Speaker 14: four years old.
Speaker 12: I mean, you just don't have a lot of runway.
Speaker 14: And so to me, this just reads is completely a
Speaker 14: political stunt, a way for her to kind of negate
Speaker 14: the fact that she doesn't have a family to point
Speaker 14: to running for president, where the other you know, let's
Speaker 14: say jd Vance he does he has four beautify children
Speaker 14: and a wife, and so this is sort of her
Speaker 14: instead of having a family and a husband.
Speaker 12: And kids, she just has her fertility journey.
Speaker 6: To run on.
Speaker 4: Well, what stood out to me, Pete she is the
Speaker 4: values question, like it'd be one thing I guess if
Speaker 4: she at least was known to be single. Time is
Speaker 4: running out. She's like, I still want to have kids
Speaker 4: and this is my only option. But I think what
Speaker 4: really made people always their eyebrowsers. As far as I know,
Speaker 4: she's been with she's been engaged to her her boyfriend
Speaker 4: for four years at this point. She's been with him
Speaker 4: as far as I know, about as long as she's
Speaker 4: been in politics, if not longer. I think she knew
Speaker 4: him in college. So what is this expressing here that
Speaker 4: apparently it's never the right time to actually settle down
Speaker 4: and have kids with the guys she's been with for
Speaker 4: over a decade.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 14: Women who do this typically are single, they don't have
Speaker 14: a boyfriend or a husband. They're worried that they may
Speaker 14: not find someone, and they don't want to age out
Speaker 14: of the process.
Speaker 12: I mean, I understand that.
Speaker 14: And there's also women who do it for medical reasons.
Speaker 14: They have cancer totally understandable, but or like major fertility
Speaker 14: issues they cannot conceive naturally or whatever. So but she,
Speaker 14: as far as I know, doesn't have any fertility issues.
Speaker 14: She definitely would have let us know if she did.
Speaker 14: And she's been with Riley for many years, her sort
Speaker 14: of weird likenibulous boyfriend fiance or whatever he is. And
Speaker 14: so I don't really think that this is something like
Speaker 14: motherhood is on the is on the table for her.
Speaker 12: I think she's extremely ambitious.
Speaker 14: We know exactly what she's planning to do starting next year,
Speaker 14: and so motherhood is like if she really wanted to
Speaker 14: be a mom aged thirty six, almost thirty seven, she
Speaker 14: has a fiance, you know, there's an easier way to
Speaker 14: have your baby unless you want to wait until you're
Speaker 14: she's already had two terms, like then you're fifty.
Speaker 12: So this is just clearly like I said, I mean,
Speaker 12: this just is.
Speaker 14: You know, she wants to run on relating to women
Speaker 14: who are scared to be pregnant in Trump's America, and
Speaker 14: she actually has used that phrase, how dangerous it is
Speaker 14: for women in Trump's America. We have no women have
Speaker 14: no rights, no reproductive freedoms. Trump's coming to Like what's
Speaker 14: he trying to do? Like seize your uterus? Like it's
Speaker 14: totally totally made up.
Speaker 12: But this is the fear tactic that she's gonna run on.
Speaker 2: Uh, that's such a good point, I mean, And what
Speaker 2: always gets lost in this conversation, in my opinion, is
Speaker 2: that you know, you made the point. If she runs
Speaker 2: for president, we all know that that's kind of she's
Speaker 2: putting her career first, Like you know that what she's
Speaker 2: encouraging so many progressive women to do, and she would
Speaker 2: be in theory fifty by the time she's done with
Speaker 2: this journey that she's on. How is that putting the
Speaker 2: kids first? Do you really want a fifty year old
Speaker 2: mom with like a fresh baby, like coming home from
Speaker 2: the hospital. No, you don't. You want young moms, it's
Speaker 2: a virtue, it's a blessing to have that kind of energy.
Speaker 2: And you constantly are not putting the needs, wants and
Speaker 2: concerns of your child first. And that's my like, larger,
Speaker 2: bigger problem. I think Charlie hit this, hit the nail
Speaker 2: on the head. This was just this was from September eighth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five peg. So it breaks my heart to
Speaker 2: see this. But he spoke directly to this issue on
Speaker 2: Fox News Top thirteen.
Speaker 1: Children is more important than having a good career.
Speaker 2: I have two kids.
Speaker 1: I also have an amazingly blessed career. Our podcast is
Speaker 1: doing great, but my kids matter way more than how
Speaker 1: many social media followers that I have. And I would
Speaker 1: also tell young ladies you can always go back to
Speaker 1: your career later, that there is a window where you
Speaker 1: primarily should pursue marriage and having children, and that is
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. This is not about shaming, it's not
Speaker 1: about ridiculing, it's not about moralizing. It's about lifting up
Speaker 1: what is beautiful. And by the way, we look at
Speaker 1: the mental health data, young women are not okay. Half
Speaker 1: that is right, half of liberal white women say that
Speaker 1: they have some form of mental health issue that has
Speaker 1: been diagnosed by a doctor. What is the number one
Speaker 1: thing that mental health professionals will tell you when it
Speaker 1: comes to mental health issues. Loneliness does not help. So
Speaker 1: maybe we should seve the loneliest epidemic by encouraging young
Speaker 1: ladies to get married and have children. It's good for them,
Speaker 1: it's good for America, and it's good for our future.
Speaker 2: You know, it felt like he's literally speaking directly to her.
Speaker 2: Here's the data here, peach. One thirty six. Young women
Speaker 2: are the most democratic group in the country. One thirty six.
Speaker 2: Throw this up. You see that big blue node over
Speaker 2: on the right. This is eighteen to twenty nine year
Speaker 2: old women that sixty six percent of them identify as progressive.
Speaker 2: And is it uphill climb?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 14: I mean I think that is clearly why she's doing this.
Speaker 14: I think she can't campaign on I don't want kids.
Speaker 14: We're not quite there yet, but she can. This is
Speaker 14: sort of her way of like delaying that conversation, saying no,
Speaker 14: I do, but I can't because I have ambitions. And
Speaker 14: in Trump's America, in right wing America, women are not
Speaker 14: allowed to have it all. But I was told the
Speaker 14: feminists have told me for decades that women can have
Speaker 14: it all and that women who are mothers and have
Speaker 14: children can have careers. And I mean, here, I am,
Speaker 14: and many women in the Trump White House today have
Speaker 14: careers and babies and it can be done. And the
Speaker 14: message was you can do that, you can have it all.
Speaker 14: You don't have to choose one or the other. But
Speaker 14: here there's AOC saying actually no, I mean she's actually
Speaker 14: being quite traditionalist about this and saying, no, I have
Speaker 14: a career. Therefore I can't have be a mother. I
Speaker 14: can't combine those two jobs.
Speaker 12: It can't be done. And so in a way, it's like, well,
Speaker 12: there's like horseshoe theory.
Speaker 14: We kind of like the trads and AOC are we
Speaker 14: meeting here, Like do we agree on something, because yeah,
Speaker 14: I don't think you really could be.
Speaker 12: There are certain careers.
Speaker 14: Let me just put it this way that really it's
Speaker 14: it is difficult to be a mother and have kids
Speaker 14: if you're I don't know, an astronaut or a brain surgeon,
Speaker 14: or there are certain we all we all know like
Speaker 14: there's trade offs, right, But here she is saying that
Speaker 14: there's no way I can do my job with the child.
Speaker 12: But what is her job?
Speaker 14: I mean, she goes to DC and votes three times
Speaker 14: a year. She's the easiest job in the world. She
Speaker 14: did have ten kids and it wouldn't even interfere if
Speaker 14: she wouldn't have.
Speaker 12: Ever take a day off.
Speaker 2: What's your message to gen Z women right now? Why
Speaker 2: should you be conservative? Why are progressives leading them astray?
Speaker 2: I really think it's important to hear from other women
Speaker 2: on this stuff.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean there are some women who are saying, like, well,
Speaker 14: we shouldn't be kind of like talking about her in
Speaker 14: a NAGA way because this conversation will turn women off.
Speaker 12: It'll make them stressed out or whatever. And so okay, yeah,
Speaker 12: if you're forty or thirty eight or whatever and you
Speaker 12: have delayed, you have frozen your eggs, it is going
Speaker 12: to make you nervous hearing and.
Speaker 14: Seeing something all these statistics and all these things of like, whoa,
Speaker 14: you're you're kind of on the long road here, You're
Speaker 14: taking a big risk. It's really important, though, to talk
Speaker 14: to Generation Alpha women, women who are not yet even there,
Speaker 14: teenage girls, women in college who you know, they're not
Speaker 14: maybe sure that they want We saw how many liberals.
Speaker 14: There are how many how feminism has worked so well
Speaker 14: to kind of turn women away from marriage and children.
Speaker 12: But if you do think you want a.
Speaker 14: Child one day, please please remember that there are there
Speaker 14: is science, and there is data that we have for
Speaker 14: decades on what your fertility rate is at.
Speaker 12: Certain certain ages it changes, And what egg freezing really is.
Speaker 14: Egg freezing is largely a scam and it's largely used
Speaker 14: by certain big corporations as like an enticement to hr
Speaker 14: will use it to get you hired free egg freezing,
Speaker 14: and all that is is your boss doesn't want you
Speaker 14: to take maternity leave, so it's really there's no benefit
Speaker 14: to the woman at all from this.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's such an important point, because you
Speaker 2: could freeze your eggs and you still can't get pregnant
Speaker 2: with them. Later, maybe you get a certain I don't
Speaker 2: know what their plan is, but it's.
Speaker 14: You can't freeze your uterus, you can't freeze your cervix.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Hi folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to
Speaker 2: tell you about my friends over at why REFY. You've
Speaker 2: probably been hearing me talk about y REFI for some
Speaker 2: time now. We are all in with these Guys, if
Speaker 2: you or someone you know is struggling with private student
Speaker 2: loan debt, take my advice and give them a call.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're behind on your payments, maybe you're even in default.
Speaker 2: You don't have to live in this nightmare anymore. Why
Speaker 2: refy will provide you a custom payment based on your
Speaker 2: ability to pay. They tailor each loan individually. They can
Speaker 2: save you thousands of dollars and you can get your
Speaker 2: life back. We go to campuses all over America and
Speaker 2: we see student after student who's drowning in private student
Speaker 2: loan debt. Many of them don't even know how much
Speaker 2: they owe. Y reef I can help. Just go to
Speaker 2: wyrefi dot com. That's the letter why then refi dot
Speaker 2: com And remember why ref I doesn't care what your
Speaker 2: credit score is. Just go to wyrefi dot com and
Speaker 2: tell them your friend Andrews sent you.
Speaker 15: You know, right right now, I'm just I'm just having
Speaker 15: a blast in my feminine error. I never thought that
Speaker 15: I was a woman, you know, I've always trusted the
Speaker 15: science and I thought I was a man my entire life.
Speaker 15: But you know, after further review, I you know, look
Speaker 15: a strong look at my personal preferences. It would appear
Speaker 15: that I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman,
Speaker 15: and I think it's only fair I get a chance
Speaker 15: to play with with some of my queens here in
Speaker 15: the twilight of my career, my athletic prime.
Speaker 2: Some of my queens. Oh, that's just it's too good,
Speaker 2: a right, So let's just back this up so we
Speaker 2: all have all the facts. Okay. So Sophie Cunningham says, hey,
Speaker 2: I don't think, you know, we should have women should
Speaker 2: have to play against men, you know, in the league.
Speaker 2: This becomes a whole topic of conversation, and then you
Speaker 2: got all these NBA players saying, actually, you know, I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: I would totally be okay with playing against a man
Speaker 2: on the court. And so lo and behold, we've got
Speaker 2: Ennis canter Freedom who's declared for the draft. She's doing
Speaker 2: a great job. She's a you know, I think, what's
Speaker 2: what's Ennis's heights? Here? I think Nis, hold on, I
Speaker 2: had it, we had it written down here somewhere. It's
Speaker 2: just too good. I think Ennis is, let's see here,
Speaker 2: six foot ten, two hundred and fifty pounds. She's a
Speaker 2: big girl. And Royce White is six foot eight, two
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty pounds, a transgender woman, Royce White. It's
Speaker 2: very exciting stuff. What this is too juicy for us
Speaker 2: not to talk about? Blake makes fun of me because
Speaker 2: every week it feels like we're talking about the WNBA.
Speaker 4: And it feels like we are every week. I think
Speaker 4: we're on four or five weeks straight. This is Honestly,
Speaker 4: I will say, this is a lot more interesting than
Speaker 4: the normal NBA for me at this point, like the
Speaker 4: social drama, The Lord of the Flies, the coaches attacking
Speaker 4: their own players because they care more about politics. It's like, wwe,
Speaker 4: you're here for the soap opera?
Speaker 2: Exactly What do we make of this? PG?
Speaker 12: Yeah? I mean I think it's so funny, it's so inevitable.
Speaker 14: I wrote a comedy sketch a few years ago making
Speaker 14: fun of this, that all these guys show up for
Speaker 14: the tryouts at the college and they all on the
Speaker 14: women's team, and they all get on because it's.
Speaker 2: So women PG.
Speaker 12: They're women now.
Speaker 14: And I'm gonna call it is by her pronouns from
Speaker 14: now on.
Speaker 12: Okay, I'm gonna you know, God bless her.
Speaker 14: I was just thinking there must be some genius in
Speaker 14: the w NBA in their accounting department and their marketing team,
Speaker 14: who finally sees a way to get people on the
Speaker 14: right to care about w NBA, And like, I.
Speaker 12: Would go to these games. If these guys got on
Speaker 12: the team, that would.
Speaker 14: Be the most, the most hilarious, greatest like game I
Speaker 14: would ever see. I mean, right, wouldn't they be selling
Speaker 14: out stadiums all over the country if.
Speaker 12: This is what they did? And what are the rules?
Speaker 12: I mean these according to the WNBA's own rules.
Speaker 14: Right, aren't these guys completely eligible? So I think it's
Speaker 14: just hilarious what they're doing. I hope one of them
Speaker 14: gets on. I'm rooting for her.
Speaker 12: For her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, the WNBA is going to continue talks about
Speaker 2: transgender athletes this week, so the WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert
Speaker 2: sent a memo to teams that addresses ongoing discussions around
Speaker 2: transgender athletes and women's basketball. The memo said the topic
Speaker 2: will be discussed further by task force of team presidents
Speaker 2: and general managers at a previously scheduled meeting this week.
Speaker 2: So we're hopefully we're going to be able to talk
Speaker 2: about WNBA continuing here, Blake, because we know it's your
Speaker 2: favorite topic. I think it's I think it's brilliant. Now
Speaker 2: there's this other there's this other line that's happening. We're
Speaker 2: still seeing this like anti Sophie, anti Caitlyn Clark sentiment
Speaker 2: bubbling up amongst the players, and over the weekend, somebody
Speaker 2: who sounds like mustard. I don't know how the said,
Speaker 2: de Jona Carrington slams Sophie. This is the image of
Speaker 2: white privilege right here. That's what they really mean when
Speaker 2: they say white privilege. Can we just be honest about it.
Speaker 2: Here is the play in question. You'll see just how
Speaker 2: I think egregious this foul was, and it was completely intentional,
Speaker 2: not going for the ball at all. Yep's okay, here
Speaker 2: we go right here, look at this slow motion smack.
Speaker 2: Then she goes right. Dejona goes straight on social media
Speaker 2: and says white privilege. Now, Sophie has made a name
Speaker 2: for herself in many ways, but she's also been Caitlyn
Speaker 2: Clark's defender as she's been getting absolutely fouled up up,
Speaker 2: you know, up and down the court, and the reps
Speaker 2: refuse to enforce it. So you have anti white sentiment
Speaker 2: raging in the WNBA, and then you have this whole
Speaker 2: trans debacle. I mean, is the WNBA the most patently
Speaker 2: insane professional sports league in the country? Now, I think
Speaker 2: the answer has to be yes. But what do you
Speaker 2: make of this that it seems like Sophie is being
Speaker 2: targeted because she's a white woman. Now, I mean, am
Speaker 2: I missing something?
Speaker 12: No, that's obviously what's going on.
Speaker 14: She's white, she's pretty, she has long blonde hair, and
Speaker 14: she's getting all this media attention and she's getting probably
Speaker 14: more sponsorship deals or speaking engagements or whatever it is.
Speaker 12: So there's like a lot of I'm sure professional jealousy.
Speaker 14: And I mean, I'm just gonna, you know, say the
Speaker 14: obvious that this Dejeney has a wig on that's like
Speaker 14: mimicking Sophie's hair, which obviously isn't her own like hairstyle.
Speaker 14: And you know, is Sophie allowed to come to work
Speaker 14: with like I don't know, long braids or whatever, like, No,
Speaker 14: that's not allowed. And so it's just to say white
Speaker 14: privilege here, the privilege of getting clotheslined you're about to
Speaker 14: score about to like dunk. This is this is what
Speaker 14: we're seeing. What we're seeing crimes like this, like the
Speaker 14: sort of beatings and attacks. I mean, we've seen this
Speaker 14: in extreme examples of like Arena on on the subway,
Speaker 14: and we see these sort of like hate attacks, black
Speaker 14: on white beatings for no reason, like that guy who's
Speaker 14: just walking on the street punching out white women on camera.
Speaker 12: A few days ago, that crazy guy.
Speaker 14: This is just sort of a kind of a Okay,
Speaker 14: now this is sort of normalized. It's okay to be
Speaker 14: angry at your perceived villain, your enemy because of the
Speaker 14: color of their skin. And this is what BLM has
Speaker 14: basically has wrought after you know, six years of this madness,
Speaker 14: where now it's okay, you don't get in any trouble
Speaker 14: for doing this. You're not like, you don't lose your career.
Speaker 12: You you probably gain more clout by doing this, by
Speaker 12: showing like your credibility or whatever.
Speaker 2: That's a great point. That's a great point. I actually
Speaker 2: posted immediately. I was like, actually, this isn't white privilege
Speaker 2: at all. This is this is black privilege. She has
Speaker 2: black privilege. She knows she can do this. She's not
Speaker 2: going to be you know, kicked out of the league
Speaker 2: or something. And she has black privilege to the point
Speaker 2: she can go rush to social media and instantly play
Speaker 2: the victim. That's what it is, peachy. I want to
Speaker 2: make sure I get a second for your book here,
Speaker 2: super Villains, Blake loves your great cover. This is a
Speaker 2: beautiful cover. It comes out in like a week, so
Speaker 2: I wanted to make sure you get a chance to
Speaker 2: plug it. Please tell us about it.
Speaker 12: Thank you. Yeah, Supervillains. Architects of America's Decline.
Speaker 14: This sort of was born out of the last few
Speaker 14: years of like the woke era, all of these crazy
Speaker 14: all the craziness going on, and we were like thinking,
Speaker 14: who are these people, and maybe we should name some
Speaker 14: of their names. So did a ton of research into
Speaker 14: who's responsible for like the immigration disaster, for like a
Speaker 14: lot of the biohacking around, you know, fertility, foreign policy,
Speaker 14: you know, everyone from Daniel Daniel Penny's persecutors in the
Speaker 14: New York Subway case, the Doctor's doctor Fauci makes appearance here.
Speaker 12: And lots of people are named in this book who
Speaker 12: you've never heard of.
Speaker 14: They're kind of like the guy behind the guy. And
Speaker 14: so we really uncovered some amazing tidbits. There's names that
Speaker 14: you will know obviously about a lot of great stuff
Speaker 14: in here there's the feminists I called the female liberation theologists,
Speaker 14: these feminists who are causing gen Z to go so
Speaker 14: far left. And I did dedicate this book to Charlie.
Speaker 14: Of course, comes out September first. You can pre order
Speaker 14: it now.
Speaker 2: Bless you, bless you. Yeah, congratulations on that, Peachy Keenan. Yeah,
Speaker 2: America's most famous trad wives based resident female. Thank you, Peach,
