She's an incredible commentator and 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: writer for the Daily Caller and also hosts her own podcast, 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: Kay Saves the USA, because apparently we need to bring 9 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: people in from outside of the US to save us 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: these days, because we seem to be a mess. Kay, 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: thanks for joining me. 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate you. 13 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 3: I think that's the kindest introduction I've ever had ever, 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 3: So thank you. 15 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate you. You. You really have come into 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: the US, and I want it. There's so many things 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: that I want to talk about because just that idea 18 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: of coming here from another country. You're watching what's happening 19 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: at the border. You're in this interesting age group that 20 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: we called the millennials, which I'm trying to understand because 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: I'm much older than you. So I want to I 22 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: want to go through all of this from your perspective, 23 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: from that perspective of a young person watching from the 24 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: outside of the country then coming in and seeing what's 25 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: going on. So if you could give us a little 26 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: bit of perspective from that standpoint, maybe a little history 27 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: to the people who are listening, what is why did 28 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: you come here? What are you doing? How did you 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: decide this? All of that? 30 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 3: That is wow, that's it's a long answer, So I'm 31 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: going to try and cut it down and be in 32 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 3: succinct as possible. And I think what it really comes 33 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 3: down to is I was very lucky. I got to 34 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 3: travel the world a couple of times over really before 35 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 3: I became an adult. And you know, I went to 36 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 3: China during the song's epidemic because it was empty and 37 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 3: cheap to go there, lots of different places in Africa, 38 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: all over Europe. 39 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: There's a reason it was cheap. Let's just react great. 40 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: My parents have great financial literacy. It's a true gift. 41 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 3: We did everything everything in life on a budget. And 42 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: so when people would say to me, you know, America 43 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 3: is truly the land of opportunity, I didn't really know 44 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: what that meant until I got a lot older, and 45 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 3: when I was doing my undergraduate degree, I sort of 46 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 3: stumbled upon this like really bizarre paradigm. And I'd been 47 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 3: writing publicly for a long time at that point anyway, 48 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: and I sort of coupled my more sociological writing with 49 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 3: my actual sort of human geography sociological studies. And when 50 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 3: I came out to the States literally just for a vacation, 51 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 3: so you can kind of come out here for a 52 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 3: couple of months, I just graduated, never took a gap year. 53 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 3: I come from a very liberal, socialist country and I 54 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 3: was raised in that way. I found my faith completely 55 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 3: on my own, out of the blue one day. But 56 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 3: it took me moving or realizing that I could get 57 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: the sort of one expert visa to stay in the 58 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 3: States and study what was going on here, not within academia, 59 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: but really for myself and the people that I worked for. 60 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 3: Took me going through that and sort of breaking down 61 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: the data of what we saw sort of from about 62 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen through to I would say, like twenty nineteen, 63 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: twenty twenty, just right up till the start of the pandemic. 64 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: What I saw in the States, particularly in California, was 65 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 3: this total neglect for common sense and humanity when it 66 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 3: came to legislature and political decision making and me as 67 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 3: sort of like a West wing liberal. Oh my god, 68 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: I love Aaron Thorkin, Like I was one of those 69 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 3: for so long, and then I saw it in practice, 70 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: and I was like, Wow, hundreds of thousands of people 71 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: are going to die if we don't mitigate so many 72 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: of these different massive crises. 73 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: And guess what, none of them have anything to do 74 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: with guns. 75 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: It has nothing to do with Republicans being the bad 76 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 3: guy and hating everyone. It has everything to do with 77 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: just consistent decision making on the parts of the Democrats 78 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: that lead to death and decline for pretty much every demographic. 79 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 3: So what I see when I look at America right now, 80 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 3: contrasted to what I saw before I came here, is 81 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: a completely different reality. I still one hundred percent know 82 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 3: that this is the greatest country on earth, and I'm 83 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 3: so lucky and so privileged to have been able to 84 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 3: stay here for as long as I haven't do my work. 85 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 3: But I'm really scared that we're on a trend in 86 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 3: terms of social decline that it's going to be really 87 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: difficult for us to get back out of. I don't 88 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 3: know that was a lot did that sort of I'll 89 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 3: say your. 90 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: Question, no, no, that I love that, but you I mean, 91 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: you're seeing things from a different perspective. I think that 92 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: than most Americans are having come from the outside, and 93 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: I think that we have this and everybody talks about 94 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: privilege of different varieties, but I do think that we 95 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: have kind of this naivete about whether or not we're 96 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: going to survive and continue to be powerful, and whether 97 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: you can really just have thousands of homeless people on 98 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: the street. I think I heard yesterday something in the 99 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of homeless people on the streets San Francisco, 100 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: and you realize at a certain point, the system just breaks. 101 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: There's no more support for that. If you bring in 102 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: people who aren't paying taxes and they're taking from social systems, 103 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: that system breaks. So what do you see from your 104 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: perspective as some of those top country killers? 105 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: Really, that's I'm going to steal that. That is such 106 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 3: a good way of putting it. I love that, but 107 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: I don't love it in practice. 108 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: It's terrifying, right. 109 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: I Again, I try to stay away from a lot 110 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: of the niche politics, you know. I turn to my 111 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 3: colleagues a lot of the Daily Caller. For that, I 112 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: turned to you, I turn to probably a lot of 113 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: the people that we both know. But I would say, 114 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: if we're going to go high fidelity and look at 115 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 3: the sort of top five, I would say economic insecurity, 116 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 3: I think that the dollar is going to end up 117 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 3: not being the reserve currency if we continue on this trend. 118 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: I also think we're going to go through a massive 119 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: houses Well, we're going through a massive housing crisis that 120 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 3: no one's talking about. 121 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 2: And I think we're going to really see that sort of. 122 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: Middle let's good to when you talk about that. So 123 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: I think people you know, a lot of people don't 124 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: see what that means because they are in a house 125 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: or they are in an apartment, and they're like, well, 126 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: for me, I'm safe. But you can't move people into communities. 127 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: You can't build you can't build buildings, you can't build 128 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: businesses in communities if there are not houses for people 129 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: to live in. And yet we are bringing in tens 130 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: of thousands of people now on a weekly basis who 131 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 1: don't even have jobs. So the housing crisis is really 132 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: something that can break people. But then you also have 133 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: people that are by they'd have bought houses that are 134 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: above what they can afford now because there's not as 135 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: many jobs. Everything is coming to a head when it 136 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: comes to housing right now. So how do you see that? 137 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: Does that just crash us completely? 138 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: Well? 139 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: I laugh because I don't really know what else to do, 140 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: and I laugh when I feel like I'm in sort 141 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: of in those situations where I have a lot of 142 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 3: bad news and I'm sort of like, okay, here we go. So, yeah, 143 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: you hit everything on the head. So the first thing 144 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: you touched upon, you know, tens of thousands, hundreds of 145 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: thousands of people actually, Like when we look at the 146 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: number of people who've come in illegally over the border 147 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: versus you know, or combined with the number of people 148 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 3: who are experiencing debilitating mental health issues that have led 149 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: to homelessness, drug addiction, organized crime, regular petty crime, that's probably. 150 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: Close to realistically, it's probably over a million people. 151 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: Like they're four hundred million people give or take in 152 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: the country. Like, yeah, it's almost definitely well over a 153 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: million people right now who can fit into any of 154 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 3: those categories that sort of contribute to what is one 155 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 3: faction of what will be this housing crisis. The other 156 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 3: half of it are people like I would say a 157 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: majority of my friendship group. You know, I live out 158 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: here in rural North Carolina. I rent specifically because there 159 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 3: is absolutely no way I'm going to get into hundreds 160 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: of thousands of dollars worth of debt for a property 161 00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 3: that is. 162 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: Not actually worth that. 163 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 3: I'm going to be there at like a seven percent 164 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: mortgage rate, which means that you know, a lot of 165 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 3: poor people, and I don't mean poor financially, I mean 166 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 3: like pity wise. A lot of people have now gotten 167 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: locked into these mortgages. Some of them are interested only 168 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 3: for the first five years, so they're basically paying rent 169 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 3: to the bank, and in five years time or whenever 170 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 3: it comes up, they're going to get a notification from 171 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 3: their bank, Hey, you owe us loads of money. So 172 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 3: these people are going to go, oh, we can't afford 173 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 3: to pay that every month whatever this new rate is, 174 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 3: we should sell our home and try and downsize. Well, 175 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 3: you haven't built any equity in your home. All you've 176 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 3: been doing is paying down the interest the bank owns 177 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 3: your property. And so we see hundreds of housing developments 178 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 3: out here, We drive past them every single day. Most 179 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 3: of them are sitting empty, some of them are almost 180 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 3: stagnated in terms of the work that's been done on them. 181 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: They're massively overpriced to build because of the COVID nineteen 182 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 3: pandemic and what that did to the supply chain. Also, 183 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 3: it's really hard to find people who want to build 184 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 3: these days, because most contractors know that they can go specialists, 185 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 3: They know that they can make more money with a 186 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: smaller team. 187 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: And just within their local community. 188 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: And So what I think is ultimately going to happen 189 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 3: is at some point, maybe in the next year, maybe 190 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 3: in the definitely in the next ten, we're going to 191 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: see a huge proportion of Americans who've been locked into 192 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 3: these homes in the last two three years. 193 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 2: With these extreme, extreme. 194 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: Interest rates, they're not going to be able to afford 195 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 3: to live there anymore, and they're not going to make 196 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 3: anything if they try and sell their home. And if 197 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: they do try and sell their home, they're going to 198 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: lose money they can't refinance. I wouldn't be surprised if 199 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 3: most of these housing developments that are cropping up all 200 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 3: over the place will then get bought by whatever remnants 201 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 3: is left of the federal government and use to house 202 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 3: these extreme mentally ill people and all of these illegal immigrants. 203 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: And one of the. 204 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: Biggest that's another question though, is will the government buy 205 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: up these housing, these communities, these buildings, and then they 206 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: own of the property and you are always renting from 207 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: the government. I mean, I know, people go, that's never 208 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: going to happen, but they're slowly government is slowly buying 209 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: a property. So people don't own their homes anymore. So 210 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: if you don't have land ownership, what kind of a 211 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: country are you? 212 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 2: Exactly? 213 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: And this was one of the biggest reasons that I 214 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 3: wanted to spend more time here in the States. I mean, 215 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 3: it sort of helped that I fell into a relationship 216 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 3: that now, you know, I'm going to be in America 217 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: for the rest of my life, and I realize that 218 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 3: now I think, I hope. But land ownership, I mean, 219 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: back in Europe, sure you can go out and you 220 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 3: can buy like a really nice I don't know, Spanish, French, 221 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 3: Italian little farmstead and you can live very peacefully and 222 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 3: you can take care of yourself and have those freedoms. 223 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 3: To a certain degree, You're still going to have to 224 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 3: pay extremely high taxes out here in the States. If 225 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 3: you own your land, and if you own it outright. 226 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 3: You can literally support yourself and multiple generations of your family. 227 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 3: It's that incredible because you've got the right climate. It's 228 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 3: just everything grows out here. It's really really like there's 229 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 3: nowhere else on earth like it. I cannot stress this enough, 230 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 3: but what I've seen a lot of is black Rock 231 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 3: or Blackstone, one of these horrific mega corps that's run 232 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 3: by the global elites. 233 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: They're buying up huge amounts of property. 234 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 3: They know the worst case scenario what people don't buy them, 235 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: people don't rent them the government or bail them out. 236 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 3: They are the government at this point. That's certainly this 237 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 3: iteration of the government. And so I think it was 238 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 3: probably last It could have been last August, it could 239 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 3: have been last March. 240 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 2: I really can't remember. It all sort of blurs into 241 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: one at this point. 242 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 3: But I saw Michael Burry, who's most people will probably 243 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 3: know from The Big Short. 244 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: Christian Bell played him in that movie. 245 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: He's a real incredible investor and just always has his 246 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: finger on the pulse. Really again, like from a sociological 247 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: perspective and from a sort of trend forecasting perspective, basically 248 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 3: liquidated everything. 249 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 2: He had and at that time put all. 250 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 3: Of his money into one stock that was focused on 251 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: for profit prisons and macro mental health. 252 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 2: Facilities, and I was like, oh, yeah, of course. 253 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 3: So he's looking five to ten years, maybe three years 254 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 3: down the line, realizing that this is the biggest social crisis, 255 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 3: realizing that we're going to be going through a presidential 256 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 3: election before anything really gets done about any of these crises, 257 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 3: including the border, and so he's sort of weighing up 258 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 3: what's going to work best for the most amount of people. 259 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: Everyone knows someone who's been impacted by the opioid crisis, 260 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 3: everyone knows someone who's had issues with drug abuse, who's 261 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: ended up homelessness in homelessness, and everyone is going to 262 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: be impacted by what's going on on the border, every 263 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: single person in this country, no matter what the Libs 264 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 3: want to say. And so it's sort of one of 265 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 3: those investments I think for Bury that is absolutely going 266 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 3: to pay off time if we survive that long. You know, 267 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: we could go through any number of cataclysms before then, 268 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: but let's pray not. 269 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 270 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. As we go through this, I'm 271 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: hearing what you're saying, I'm listening to you. I know 272 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: that you have kind of created a brand that is 273 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: sort of don't let politics, though, completely invade your life. 274 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: So I want to talk about that a little bit 275 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: because it really can and it can destroy relationships. And 276 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: you said you came here as a as a true liberal. 277 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: So now that your values have changed and you've seen 278 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: things in a different way, how does that affect personal 279 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: relationships in your generation? Because from the other viewpoint, from 280 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: our viewpoint here in older generations, we go, how do 281 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: we even reach them, how do we even talk to them? 282 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: How do we even get them to see And maybe 283 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: it is not through a political lens, but how do 284 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: we keep relationships going if politics has just invaded every 285 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: part of our lives? 286 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: Keep saying this older thing, but you literally look younger 287 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 3: than me. It's like such an inspiration. Seriously, you can 288 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 3: come back. I feel so spoiled. No, that's actually a 289 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 3: really interesting question, and I'm sure you could answer it 290 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: sort of for yourself as well. In terms of the 291 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 3: personal relationship stuff. You know, we have a we have 292 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 3: a general rule of thumb in this household when my 293 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: very liberal parents come and visit that we don't talk politics, 294 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 3: and if we do, it's because I'm talking about it. 295 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 3: And it's my work and it's my house that I 296 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 3: pay for, so they have to follow my rules because 297 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 3: you know, like we love each other so much and 298 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: so unconditionally, and there are so many macro issues that 299 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 3: we agree on in many different ways, and so finding 300 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 3: that sort of healthy communication through whatever those juxtapose viewpoints 301 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 3: are is I mean, it's a task, like it always 302 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 3: takes work, but I think it's worth it for the 303 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 3: people that you really love and who love you. But 304 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 3: you know, Christianity is maybe like a slightly different one. 305 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 3: My grandfather was a vicar, but again my father was 306 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: you know, he's still to this day is an atheist 307 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 3: to almost like an extreme degree. And so that's one 308 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 3: that we are still kind of figuring out how to 309 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 3: communicate through. And I actually work with an organization called 310 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 3: Million Voices, and they sort of represent a bridge between 311 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 3: any demographic of voter in America and local, state, federally 312 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: elected politicians. And the way they do that is through 313 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 3: letter writing campaigns, which just so happened to be actually 314 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 3: the most effective way to make change other than voting 315 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 3: in the first place. Letter writing campaigns have a huge 316 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 3: impact on shifting policy, and so when I started working 317 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 3: with Million Voices, I was also going through that sort 318 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 3: of just it's a massive transition to go from being 319 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 3: a secular liberal to a Christian conservative. And I don't 320 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 3: have anyone around me when I lived in California for 321 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 3: many years who could speak to either of those sort 322 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 3: of two themes. 323 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: And what I see now. I don't know if you've 324 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: seen have you seen the film Jesus Revolution? By chance? 325 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: I have not seen it yet, and I desperately want to, 326 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: so I need to put that on my list of 327 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: things today. 328 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 2: It's definitely worth it. It's a great. 329 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 3: Film, no matter how you feel about faith or anything 330 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: like that. But for me personally, what I see as 331 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 3: being a great new pathway to accessing and influencing sort 332 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 3: of like I'm nearly thirty, so I am technically a 333 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 3: younger millennial or sillennial I guess, as my little epoch 334 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 3: right there. But it's yeah, you're right, Like it's not 335 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 3: really through politics. I think it's through pop culture. I 336 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 3: think that that still has such a strong place in 337 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: every single Americans haut. 338 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 2: So like, for example, what. 339 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: I have to say, I think it's interesting that you 340 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: bring up Jesus Revolution because we saw the situation with 341 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: bud Light where they came out with the Dylan mulvany can. 342 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: The backlash of that everybody has been I mean, they've 343 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: lost six billion dollars in revenue. I mean, this has 344 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: been a huge disaster for bud Light. But that was 345 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: a very political move, something that maybe seems a little 346 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: bit risky or political, I guess. From from the other standpoint, 347 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: you have them now talking about putting the fulls of 348 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: honor on their can and being very patriotic, and you've 349 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: seen show movies like Jesus Revolution that just they were 350 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: shocked by what the box office did and how much 351 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: money came in for that movie. And similar with Top 352 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: Gun Maverick, it was like, wow, oh my gosh, this 353 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: is amazing. So many people like this. But truly, I mean, 354 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: if you're looking at the country, there are still a 355 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: lot of Christians, so it makes sense that they would 356 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: go see that movie. But certainly patriotism should be strong, 357 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: and we think that it has fallen by the wayside. 358 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: But as you've seen movies like that that have been 359 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: blockbuster hits, don't you think that some of these companies 360 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: and some of these folks that have a cause would 361 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: be better off bringing some patriotism patriotism into their branding 362 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: because that shouldn't be controversial, right. 363 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I think America has proven that it's not controversial. 364 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: What's controversial is putting a dude who glorifies this weird cosplay. 365 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 3: I don't even know what it is, pretend version of 366 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 3: women that doesn't exist. We've seen him literally take down 367 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 3: one of the number one American brands. But really it 368 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 3: wasn't Dylan mulvaney. That was Americans. That was all of 369 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 3: us getting together and saying, Nope, don't want it, don't 370 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 3: like it, get rid of it. 371 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,479 Speaker 2: That's not who we are. What were you thinking? 372 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 3: And I work with you know, like Public Square, I 373 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 3: think is a great organization where people can kind of 374 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 3: go on and find like exclusively American patriotic brands, but 375 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 3: finding mainstream news media corporations who are willing to prop 376 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 3: up those brands. 377 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just getting thinner and thinner and thinner. 378 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 3: Like the actual sort of pool that you can source 379 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 3: from to get eyes on your product. Like social media 380 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 3: is great, but it's run by a very few like 381 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 3: very small number of individuals. 382 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: The media is great, run by a very small number 383 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 2: of individuals. 384 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: How did these few people gain so much control because 385 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: they're in the marketing space, they're in the media space. 386 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: But really, I mean what you just said, this is 387 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: not the overwhelming feeling of the country. And so they 388 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: find that something fails at the box office. That is 389 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: a radical liberal situation. You've got Disney where people are 390 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: stopping using Disney Plus because of some of the crazy 391 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: stuff that they've put out there for kids. You see 392 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: people stepping away, and yet still these very few folks 393 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: are like, no, no, We're going to serve it up 394 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: to them and they're going to eat it and they're 395 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: going to be happy. And yet still the American public 396 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: says that's not where we are. Have they found in 397 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: the past that if they just keep force feeding people 398 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: these concepts that eventually we do eat it and we 399 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: do say okay, yes, I will take it and I 400 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: will be happy. Or have they gone too far? 401 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 2: Another great question. 402 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 3: I think that actually the answer to that goes back 403 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 3: to one of the first questions you asked about the 404 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 3: biggest crises facing America and these sort of country killers 405 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 3: right now so global elites need to use things like 406 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 3: the Dylan mulvany bud light situation. 407 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 2: I think Harry and Meghan are another great example of 408 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 2: what is. 409 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 3: Essentially a distraction tactic, because we have a housing crisis 410 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 3: that's going to bubble into potentially a depression, we have 411 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 3: total food insecurity, and we're heading into what is going 412 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 3: to be a year of pretty extreme weather events. It's 413 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 3: already been a year of very deadly extreme weather events. 414 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 3: Because as much as people want to scream and cry 415 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 3: about it, no one on either side of the political 416 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 3: spectrum gets climate change right. We're actually in a very niche, 417 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 3: not very fluctuating moment in terms of climate. This is 418 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 3: pretty chill, but we haven't lived long enough and recorded 419 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 3: data long enough to know what's going to happen next 420 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 3: or prepare, and our politicians aren't going to do anything 421 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 3: to prepare for it because they make more money and 422 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 3: they gain more control the fewer of us they are. 423 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 3: I like it when people say it's global elites, and 424 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 3: I sort of rank a lot of the Democratic Party 425 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 3: in with that group because they're certainly not pro American. 426 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 3: Because all of the steps that are being taken right 427 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 3: now are epic distraction tactics. 428 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: They're incredibly loud, and so we. 429 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 3: Think, like you and I, I think most of the 430 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 3: people you and I probably know within the media. We 431 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 3: all think we're fighting this horrific battle to protect America. 432 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 3: But that battle from the American people has already been won, 433 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 3: and we win time and time again. This is why 434 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 3: every major conspiracy theory that's come out in what like 435 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 3: the last five years has pretty much been proven correct, 436 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 3: because we sit there and we do not take it. 437 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 3: But we're being distracted from the stuff that's really going 438 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 3: to hurt us. We're being told, Oh, you live in 439 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 3: the first world. Everything's going to be fine. You have 440 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 3: a roof over your head. Of course, we're going to 441 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 3: give you that mortgage. Yeah, eggs are pretty expensive right now, 442 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 3: but they won't be forever. Also, how many vegetables are 443 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 3: you growing in your garden so we can check that too. 444 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 3: You know, all of this stuff is just one giant 445 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 3: distraction tactic for what I think is going to be 446 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 3: either a very sudden thing that changes the face of 447 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 3: the world entirely, or the gradual decline of America from 448 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 3: being a first world country by a niche group of 449 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 3: people who are making a lot of money from doing it. 450 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 3: And I know that sounds dark and it sounds like 451 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 3: something out of a crazy conspiracy theory horror movie, but 452 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 3: that's just what the data is shows, and it's shown 453 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 3: that for a very long time. This has been starting 454 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 3: since probably before even the Clintons came in, but they 455 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 3: really ramped it out. 456 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 457 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. There is this panic though, that 458 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,719 Speaker 1: there will be a clash of the two sides. I mean, 459 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: you've heard people talk about the country in another civil 460 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: war and all of these discussions of people having to 461 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: fight the government. I don't ever see that happening because 462 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: I believe that you know think, I mean, the government 463 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: is too powerful first of all, that you're not going 464 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: to helver throw the government. And I think that people 465 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: think that you can. Don't you think that you have 466 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: to get involved. Don't you think that the point of 467 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: the way the country was formed is that people continuously 468 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: get involved and get involved for the right reasons. But 469 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: I see too many people getting involved to become something 470 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: special rather than for the right reasons of doing it. 471 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: So how do people on either side of the aisle, 472 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: make sure that they are supporting folks who are in 473 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: it for the right reasons and trying to solve some 474 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: of these problems instead of I mean what you said 475 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: about these folks that are making money off of us. 476 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: I mean, look at just the EV car market. You 477 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: have Ford just lost two billion dollars on the EV market. 478 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: It's not taking off. Consumers are not loving it. They 479 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: continue to put more and more taxpayer dollars into it. 480 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: It's such a joke because ultimately you have to power 481 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: these cars, which is coming from coal and natural gas. 482 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: We've stopped drilling, we're giving and once you stop that, 483 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: once you stop having that income for the country, but 484 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: also that security and that independence for the country, and 485 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: also that security when people just go to the gas 486 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: to the gas station, they have to fil their tank 487 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: and it's less money. I mean, once you give that up, 488 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: you've really put the United States in a compromise situation. 489 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: But what does this mean for the average person and 490 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: how do they get the right people to run to 491 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: make these things happen instead of trying to become famous 492 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: and make their own money. 493 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 2: To you, you're literally my new favorite person. 494 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 3: I don't know if like, I know we know a 495 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 3: lot of the same people, but like I'm like, I 496 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 3: am not a huge fan of doing media. 497 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 2: I have. 498 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 3: I accidentally got famous for like five minutes once in 499 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 3: LA and I hated it. But obviously, like when I 500 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 3: got your message, I was like, oh my gosh, yes, 501 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 3: of course I'd like to have a conversation. And so 502 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 3: when I do media, it's literally just with my friends, 503 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 3: like a niche group of people. 504 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 2: Because here's what. 505 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 3: The answer is, guys, literally focus local. What is going 506 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 3: on in your backyard, What is going on with your 507 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 3: local legislature, What is going on that you can affect 508 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 3: right now? Because guess what, if you're living out on 509 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: the East Coast, someone doing something in West Hollywood isn't 510 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 3: actually going to affect you. This is such a massive, 511 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 3: massive chunk of land that we live on, and there 512 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 3: are so many of us here. I think the best 513 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 3: thing that everyone can do is just start focusing local. 514 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 3: And when I say that, I don't just mean in 515 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 3: terms of like, oh, I'm just going to write about 516 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: like the news that's going on here in North Carolina. No, 517 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 3: I'm going to track what's going on in North Carolina. 518 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 3: Pretty much in my spare time. I can't actually get 519 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 3: involved in any political stuff. All I can do is write. 520 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 3: Every time I get a phone call from someone I 521 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 3: know who lives, works, donates rights, owns, different media outlets, anything. 522 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 3: Here in North Carolina, I put everything down. I say, 523 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 3: download me on everything that's going on, because I need 524 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 3: to tell all of my neighbors. I need to tell 525 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 3: everyone that I love so we can do something to 526 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 3: mitigate this rubbish. And I try to do the same 527 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 3: thing in California and it didn't work, but it does work. 528 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 2: Here in North Carolina. 529 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 3: And that's the incredible thing, because you know, California, for 530 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 3: the most part, the cities, they're made up of transplants. 531 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 3: They're not made up of people who have you know, 532 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 3: they're sort of blood in the soil there, if you will. 533 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 3: Whereas my boyfriend's family has been here for like hundreds 534 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 3: of years, and pretty much every other family I know 535 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 3: has been here for hundreds of years, and so people 536 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 3: really care and value what goes on in their backyard. 537 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: And that is the change that every single person can 538 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 3: affect today. There was actually, I'm trying to think of 539 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 3: a good example, but there was this one chap Stags 540 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 3: I want to say. 541 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: His name was Stags. 542 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 3: He's a mayor at in Utah, and I heard, Now, 543 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 3: this is just like a rumor, but I heard that 544 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 3: when all the COVID stuff came down, and you know, 545 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 3: the federal government was saying, Oh, everyone who works the police, 546 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 3: everyone has to get vaccinated, everyone has to do masks, 547 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 3: everyone has to do that. He just kind of turned 548 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 3: around and went, no, we're not going to do that. 549 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 3: You guys, like, this is America freedom. You guys do 550 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 3: what you want. He showed up to a local school 551 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 3: board meeting and basically said, you are basically providing. 552 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: Our students with pornography. The teachers have. 553 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 3: Tried to tell you about it, the parents have tried 554 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 3: to tell you about it. You guys aren't doing anything 555 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 3: about it. So I thought I'd come down here today 556 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 3: and tell you this is what your electorate has told 557 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 3: you to do, so you need to stop doing it. 558 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 2: And I just thought, can you imagine if every politician 559 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 2: did that? 560 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 3: Can you imagine if every single citizen realized that that 561 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 3: is the power that they have, is to turn around, 562 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 3: point a finger and say no, we don't want this anymore. 563 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 2: I also hit a rumor. 564 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: I think our politicians don't think that because they become 565 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: beholden to the people who help get them elected. I mean, 566 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: I was kind of shocked by the process. And I 567 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: think that there are a lot of people who also 568 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: are look at politicians today and they see kind of 569 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: these people that come around them and sort of worship them, 570 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: and they're like, Oh, that's I want that too. It's 571 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: like a next level of being some sort of a 572 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: famous star. And I actually had a guide just today 573 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: who I was talking to about this, and he was like, 574 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like there's not a good 575 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: person to run for the seat, and I think it 576 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: might be me, but I also feel like I don't 577 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: know if that's what I want right now. I'm not sure. 578 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: I don't know why I feel like this. And I say, 579 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: if you don't feel a little sick about it, and 580 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: you're not fighting with God a little bit about it 581 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: and saying I'm not sure I'm the right person. If 582 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: you are the person that is out there going this 583 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: is where I'm meant to be, and I'm going to 584 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: go out there and everybody's going to love me, that's wrong. 585 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: You have to be questioning it. I mean, if you 586 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: want to be there and be a servant. Then the 587 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: only way you can serve well is to really question 588 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: what serving means and who wants you to serve, and 589 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: if it's your desire or if you're being called to it. 590 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: That's so fascinating. 591 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,479 Speaker 3: Well, you obviously have had a formal, prolific career than 592 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 3: I have and have famal access in terms of the 593 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 3: sort of ratio and the people you have been exposed 594 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,239 Speaker 3: to spoken to. 595 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 2: What is the kind of. 596 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 3: Ratio of people who feel that way, who realize that, like, oh, 597 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 3: I'm about to get dragged into this nasty swamp full 598 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 3: of like mutant alligators who are going to preach it me. 599 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: I really think, I mean, I think that there have 600 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: been more people lately who have said, gosh, I think 601 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm called to do this, whether it is school board 602 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: or a county commissioner or governor.

So as Americans were just immediately like, 674 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: she's amazing, She's the most intelligent person on the planet. 675 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 2: Time out on that forever. 676 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: I love it, It's true. But I mean I'm sitting 677 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: here and I am honestly throughout this interview, I'm like, 678 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: what did I do wrong with my life? Because how 679 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: is this girl not even thirty, and she knows all 680 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: this stuff. So I am just completely amazed by you. 681 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: I think it's incredible. I hope that I hope that 682 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: people tune in to what you're doing and go to 683 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: The Daily Caller. But also I love that your podcast 684 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: is Case Saves the USA, because I'm sitting here, I'm like, Wow, 685 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: she really knows a lot more about this country than 686 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 1: we do. I feel kind of stupid, but I love it. 687 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: It's amazing. 688 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 2: Thank you. 689 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 3: I am actually kind of disappointed. I had to delete. 690 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 3: I think it was three or four episodes of my 691 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 3: show for the last season. It's a long story as 692 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 3: to why, and I'm sort of trying to let it 693 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 3: play out in reality before I go out there and 694 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 3: talk about it publicly, because it has a lot to 695 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 3: do with a lot of my actual close friends. Again, like, 696 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 3: the only reason I did the podcast is because I 697 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 3: was like, well, if I'm going to be surrounded by 698 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 3: really cool, fascinating, brilliant people outside of work, why not 699 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 3: record the conversations that I have with them and put 700 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 3: them out there to the public. And then my cat 701 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 3: fell asleep on my h on my mixing deck, and 702 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 3: that's that's gone. 703 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 2: Forever. 704 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 3: So I've got to sort out a new mic, but 705 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 3: there will be new episodes coming out. 706 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: So I really appreciate the plug. 707 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 3: And I know I'm very doom and gloom in a 708 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 3: lot of the stuff that I talk about, But this 709 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 3: convers Tuta, I feel so much more hope now hearing 710 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 3: this from you. And I think it's conversations like this 711 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 3: that need to happen, right, but I think it needs 712 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 3: to happen again on that like local community level, have 713 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 3: those difficult conversations with your neighbors about politics, about social issues, 714 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 3: you know, like I can't tell you the number of 715 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 3: people that I had to explain to when I lived 716 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 3: in Venice Beach, Like, hey, if you keep voting for 717 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 3: this one particular councilman, like you can do what you want. 718 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 3: This is freedom, this is America. But here is policies. 719 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 3: You're going to see more homeless people shooting up in 720 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 3: your driveway. That's just like that is the social math here. 721 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 3: And I don't know if I had any impact. I 722 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 3: probably didn't. But at least if you see something that's wrong, 723 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 3: say that it's wrong, and have that conversation about the why. 724 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 3: And most of the whys from our side of the 725 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 3: spectrum are kind of irrefutable at this point, I think. 726 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I think. The difference is. As 727 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 1: I've been listening to you talk, honestly, I don't hear 728 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: you saying you're wrong and this this is terrible. I 729 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: don't hear the doom and gloom. I hear you saying, 730 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: be aware of your choices. Your choices have consequences. And 731 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: I've seen this, I've lived this, I've been places and 732 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: I've seen it. And I will tell you that one 733 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 1: of those choices is getting a cat. I have also 734 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: made the mistake of getting a cat because they do 735 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: step on your computer. So I don't know about the 736 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: cat thing. I'm going to say, I went to cat, 737 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: I went, I accidentally went on cat adoption day and 738 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: I got a cat. And now I'm also in the 739 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: situation where she walks on my stuff. But I have 740 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: to love her because she's a part of my family. 741 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 3: Now, do it's like when you make that decision to 742 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 3: bring what is essentially a demon creature into your home. 743 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 2: No, I don't have nice things anymore. That's fine. Oh 744 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 2: you want to sleep on my head, I love it. 745 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 2: I'm here for it. 746 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 3: Oh you want to take a chunk out of my 747 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 3: face because you woke up on the whole side of 748 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 3: the bed. 749 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 750 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 3: Well, the good pass control and we're an animal family 751 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 3: and we got a little bit of land at this rental, 752 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 3: so I would have way more if I could. 753 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 2: I pray for you.
