Before we get to any of those 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: stories in our fantastic panel, I gotta get to this 22 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: because this is actually really interesting. My internal libertarian bug 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: that I kind of try to crush as much as 24 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: I can, generally speaking, kind of comes out in these 25 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: types of stories. There is a proposal in the state 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: of New York, issued by the Mayor of New York, 27 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: Eric Adams, that says, Hey, we want to be able 28 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: to have doctors commit drug addicts to facilities to get 29 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: help rather than being alone on our streets. Now, on 30 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: its face, that sounds great. The good idea says, well, 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: let's get the people who are on drugs off the streets, 32 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: away from terrorizing the public and put them in places 33 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: that they can actually get some help. However, my internal 34 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: libertarian bug says, Okay, well, that's a slippery slope. What 35 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: if I get a doctor that says, or what if 36 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: I get a I don't know, a former friend somebody 37 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: I've got beef with that tells a doctor, Hey, Joe, 38 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: Bob's nuts and I'm you know, I'm kind of an 39 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: eccentric individual, especially out in public. And the doctor says, yeah, 40 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: that guy's nuts. Throw him in a mental facility. Now, 41 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: I get that that's kind of a hyperbolic scenario, but 42 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. It kind of scares me a little bit. 43 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: I would love to get the thoughts from our fantastic panel. 44 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: Adrian Gray is the host of Real America's Pop Culture 45 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: and Haley Karenia. I think I always like fumble over 46 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: how to pronounce that, Hailey Karnia, Oh, most of the 47 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: Nightly Scroll guys, thanks for joining us. Really appreciate you 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: taking the time, Thanks for having us. Uh, Haley, I 49 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: want to start with you here. This is this is 50 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: kind of like a just your your high level, thirty 51 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: thousand foot view. Are we comfortable with the government saying nope, 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 1: you're not in control of your faculties. Therefore we decide 53 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: you're going to go to facility at the same time, Well, 54 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: that gets to homeless drug addicts off the streets, hopefully, rely, 55 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: that's the goal. How comfortable are you with this overall? 56 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: And you can obviously in the variables of yeah, the 57 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: big cities are overrun with crazy people. 58 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally understand the argument for the slippery slope. 59 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: I think that does set a very scary, dangerous present. However, 60 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: as someone who lived in New York City for almost 61 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: a decade, I can tell you we need to do 62 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 3: something about the homeless crisis. It is a problem. People 63 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: are tripping over homeless people. They're on their stoops and 64 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: even the liberals they might not admit it, but no 65 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 3: one wants to live amongst homeless people. And I did 66 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: look into this, and it's interesting because what Eric Adams 67 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: is proposing is people before this, people could only be 68 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: committed against their will if they showed a substantial risk 69 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: to physically harm themselves or others. Isn't it like obvious 70 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: that if you're abusing drugs you're posing. 71 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 4: A risk to yourself. I just don't understand, so, like what's. 72 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: The difference that you know, that's a good point. You know, 73 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: the skeptic might even take a little bit further and say, hey, 74 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: if you eat too many big macs, you're posing a 75 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: risk to your own health. That this is where this 76 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: is my This is my like as kind of like 77 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: a slippery, slippery slope and kind of a difficult thing 78 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: to handle. Adrian, though, have some of these big blue 79 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: cities gotten so bad that you know, it's just this 80 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: is just the reality of it. You have to be 81 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: able to do something with these people, and therefore, you know, 82 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: you got to take the risk of the slippery slope 83 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: here and just commit these people to mental institutions. 84 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a few things that move me here, Joe Bob, 85 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 5: because I live in d C. 86 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 6: So just the runner up here. 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 5: You know, we're trying to make DC safe again, but 88 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 5: we have a lot of the same issues. And I 89 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 5: travel to New York frequently as well, and I've seen 90 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 5: this firsthand. I think what I honestly think what he's 91 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 5: trying to do is sort of take an ice approach here. 92 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 5: I think he saw like, oh, you know, people are 93 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 5: signing on board to basically being able to have a 94 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 5: proactive approach to get individuals out, to get individuals safe 95 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 5: to do that. 96 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 4: But however, you know, libertarian are not. 97 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 5: I do think that we deep figure out what a 98 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 5: balance is because there is fully a spectrum. I think 99 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 5: we see the zombies within the street where their bodies 100 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 5: are like hanging to the ground, and then we see 101 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 5: other people that just might be out for a good 102 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 5: time a little too late at night. So I think 103 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 5: it can be a slippery slope when we talk about 104 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 5: actually the medical industry in general and do they always 105 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 5: have our best interests in mind. Listen, we've been going 106 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 5: down the road of skepticism with our health system, so. 107 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 4: A lot to balance. 108 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 6: I definitely don't have an answer here, but it's very. 109 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: Interesting, you know, Adrian, Unfortunately your mistake in Washington, d 110 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: C is very very safe. All of the news channels 111 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: say so, and there's nothing to be done to make 112 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: it more safer, because again, it is a beacon of 113 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: safety across the country. Now, this next story is in 114 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: line with the whole Washington DC thing, but it's more 115 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: of like an interpersonal how you deal with difficulty and stress. 116 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: I guess, Hayley, we all have seen the video and 117 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: I think we can play it here while we're talking 118 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: over because the audio is kind of trash. But Sandwich Gate, 119 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: there's a guy here yelling at a at a I 120 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: don't know if it's an FBI, a federal agent of 121 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: some kind. Uh, and then ultimately gets so mad he 122 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: throws a sandwich and oh no, you just did a 123 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: felony assault crime. I think, what is fascinating about this? 124 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,679 Speaker 1: And we'll get into the DC specifics in the next 125 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: thing I want to talk about, but specifically here, what 126 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: is going through the mind of somebody that can't hold 127 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: their emotions inside and has to lash out. How has 128 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 1: this infected so many people? And you know, his big 129 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,239 Speaker 1: task to answer here, how do we figure out how 130 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: to get people to bare least regulate their emotions when 131 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: they feel very passionately about something, Because that's not a 132 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: bad thing, it's but acting out on it. It clearly is. 133 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 3: By by plastering this video out on the news everywhere 134 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 3: you see it, this should deter people from doing this. 135 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 3: His form is horrible, He's putting his whole back into it. 136 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 3: I'm getting the just watching it. I mean, this is very, 137 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 3: very embarrassing, so I would hope. I mean, now, this 138 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: man has lost his job at the DOJ, according to 139 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 3: Attorney General Pambondi, But I think naming and shaming these 140 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: people is the way to go. 141 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's another big part of it, Adrian. This 142 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: guy worked for the Department of Justice, was a trial 143 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: attorney there, and has the mental capacity, or at least 144 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: lacks the mental capacity to be able to restrain himself. 145 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: What do you do with the society where the people 146 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: that are kind of at the upper ends of the 147 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: rung here have no ability to control their emotions. 148 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 6: I'm gonna try to deliver this without laughing. 149 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 5: But someone who works at the DOJ, Okay, the affiliation 150 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 5: with Subway. I still have an issue with so not 151 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 5: only did he hit somebody with a subway sandwich. 152 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 6: In general and get an injury. 153 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 5: We hit somebody with a subway sandwich. And let us 154 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 5: not forget Jared. Let's not forget the crimes against Jared. 155 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 4: Okay, so to me. 156 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 6: Fully criminal fully the whole thing criminal. 157 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: I don't know how. 158 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 5: Many years, but a lot of years ahead because it 159 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 5: just feels like a bigger issue when you take a 160 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 5: brand like Subway what went on with Jared, and you decide. 161 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 4: That's the choice, that's the brand, that's the choice. So 162 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 4: big is you there? 163 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: I have a problem with it considering the fact that 164 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: Subway was involved. I just really hope one of the 165 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: officers that were chasing him down said this is Maga 166 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: country and in that whole process. I don't know if 167 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: you remember the Jesse smo Lett whole hoax thing, but 168 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: speaking of this Washington d C problem, I thought this 169 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: was fascinating from a polling statistic, and I also thought 170 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: it was really interesting that morning Joe on MSDNC sorry 171 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: MSBNBC lefty news outlet Lefty Show was actually bringing the 172 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: statistic up ninety one percent of Black women in DC 173 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: think crime is too high. Now. You saw protests around 174 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: the around the around the district last night with people like, oh, 175 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: we don't need you here, this is an infringement or whatever, 176 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: while the community that lives in DC, especially the black 177 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: community lives in there, says, no, it is too high. Hayley, 178 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: why is it that so many white Libs have savior 179 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: complex of like, we need to help the downtrodden, and 180 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: the people that would actually benefit from the help, we're like, no, no, no, 181 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: this is great. Crime is too high, Please stop helping us. 182 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, the tds, deranged white liberal karens are the problem here. 183 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 3: It's interesting because I saw an NPR reporter go to 184 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: DC and conduct some man on the street interviews and 185 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: he went to this gentrified safe area of DC and 186 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: old a bunch of people, and of course the white 187 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 3: liberals say Trump is horrible, we hate these moves. Then 188 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: he goes to an actual high crime area of DC 189 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 3: that is predominantly minority, and he's asking people there, Hey, 190 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 3: do you welcome this move by President Trump? 191 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 4: Do you welcome the of National Guard troops? And they said. 192 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 3: Yes, not only that they're so sick and tired of 193 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 3: the crime they haven't even reported it. They're sick and 194 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 3: tired of reporting it because nothing gets done. So these 195 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 3: soft on crime policies are making cities not safe and 196 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: they're starting. 197 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 4: To learn the hard way. 198 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, Adrian. Since President Trump has announced, hey, we're gonna 199 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: take over the policing here in Washington, d C. Which 200 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: again is the federal government's right. They have the jurisdiction 201 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: over DC. It's kind of in the constitution. I'm not 202 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: sure if a bunch of libs know that. Since then, 203 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: they've nabbed about one hundred suspects. Now again, who knows 204 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: if these people are actually Inner Center guilty, but they've 205 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: been arrested in an attempt to try and clean up 206 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: the streets of DC. Do you think that this will 207 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: send a message to any of the other Blue states. 208 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: Let's just say this, play this out over the next 209 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, couple of months. If Trump is able 210 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: to turn DC around from a crime riddled hell hole 211 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 1: to a relatively nice city to be in, do you 212 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: think that will get replicated across the country in Blue 213 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: cities who realize, hey, this actually is doable. 214 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 215 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 5: I think let's clean up DC first and have everybody 216 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 5: else follow he's got to prove it. I think he's 217 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 5: on the way. Also, by the way, as someone who 218 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 5: again lives. 219 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 2: In d C. 220 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 5: Trump has also not only made it cleaner, but he's 221 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 5: also again he's a real estate guy. 222 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 6: I get it. 223 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 4: But he's put fresh sod everywhere. 224 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 5: I've seen the shift from when Biden's administration was in 225 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 5: everything with dead and muddy and gross for miles around 226 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 5: the Capitol. 227 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 6: And I bring this up because this is the nation's. 228 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 5: Capital where people are to come and see the history 229 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 5: and if it's a gross swampland unintended what like, we 230 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 5: just deserve to have a nice area. And so people 231 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 5: are giving President Trump a lot of flak for making, 232 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 5: you know, aesthetic changes, but wait, why if you go 233 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 5: to any other country where they have like palaces and 234 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 5: everything like that, why do we have to be crazy 235 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 5: and like look so ghetto and unsafe and everything like that. 236 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 5: So I love what he's doing as somebody who is 237 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 5: seeing the changes in real time. 238 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 4: US are also loving it. 239 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 5: But I do think to wrap it up, it's going 240 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 5: to send a message and we need to do that 241 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 5: because New York has headed down a terrible path. 242 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: So again, unfortunately Adrian, you are mistake. In Washington, d 243 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: C is totally safe, and so is New York. According 244 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: to a bunch of the live media, Adrian and Halo 245 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: be back right after the break to discuss a spicy 246 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: divorce in the former First Family. It is apropos of nothing, 247 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: but it's just kind of fun to talk about.

But with that further Ado, 264 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: let's check in with turning Points. White House correspondent Monica 265 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: Page at the White House, Monica, a big, big day. 266 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: It's like the day before the super Bowl, you know, 267 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: obviously not really, but huge summit coming up in Alaska 268 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: between President Trump President Putin. Everybody's kind of talking about it. 269 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: What is your insight on the ground there at the 270 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: White House? I saw that there's apparently going to be 271 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: a press guy at least right as of right now. 272 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a press conference afterward, which is holy cow, 273 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: that's some high stakes. 274 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, high stakes, very highly anticipated. I mean, you can't 275 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 2: talk about this story enough because if President Trump can 276 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: pull off this peace steal, it could be one of 277 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: the most monumental things that he does in this term, 278 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 2: in this administration of this year. Essentially, so, the President's 279 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: going to be flying out to Alaska tomorrow morning six 280 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 2: a m. Eastern time, approximately very early, immediately meeting with 281 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: Russian President Vladimir Putin, and essentially they want to meet 282 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: eye to eye. The President wants to get a feel 283 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 2: for what Putin wants to do. He wants to get 284 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: a feel for the mood on the ground, his attitude, 285 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: and just ultimately what it's going to take to put 286 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: an end to this war. This has been going on 287 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: for quite some time, and President Trump has been very 288 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: vocal about ending it and has teased that if Russia 289 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: doesn't come up with a solution, if they don't come 290 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 2: up with a plan, and there could be some very 291 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 2: serious consequences. What that would look like, We're not exactly 292 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: too sure. That could be economic sanctions, that could be uh, 293 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: you know, I don't want to trade with you in 294 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: the future, or we're going to put place more tariffs 295 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 2: on India. They're trade a Russia's trading partner, so we 296 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: could look very different. Now, look, we have a lot 297 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: of options here. So essentially, after this meeting, like you said, 298 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: we can definitely expect a press conference between the two, 299 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: which would be very interesting. I really can't wait to 300 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 2: tune into that. And then immediately after when he's on 301 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: his flight back to d C or to Virginia wherever 302 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: he may go. After that, he's going to call Zelenski, 303 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: Ukrainian President Zelenski and then speak with the EU leaders 304 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: as well. He spoke with the EU leaders earlier this 305 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 2: week as well, kind of teasing ahead maybe what he 306 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: wants to discuss, But of course that's very under reps 307 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: to us here in the press. But this is going 308 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: to be very high stakes, super highly anticipated. 309 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to get you. I don't 310 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: know if you know specifically about this, but is there 311 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: any way you could speak to the importance why President 312 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: Trump wants to meet person to person in person as 313 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: opposed to like a phone call or a video conference, 314 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: which is obviously, you know, easier to do. You don't 315 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: have to travel to a different place. 316 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: Oh sure, it's so much easier to speak over the 317 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: phone or on video call. But of course, when you 318 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: actually see the person face to face, I think you 319 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: can get a better sense of how the person wants 320 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: to make a deal with you. And this meeting essentially 321 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: is going to say up for the second. 322 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 10: Meeting as well. 323 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: So this meeting is just to kind of get a 324 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: feel it's the second meeting that's going to be even 325 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 2: more important than this one. If there will even be 326 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: a second meeting. The President said himself that there could 327 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: be a twenty five percent chance that the second meeting 328 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: doesn't even come based on Putin's actions or his whole demeanor. 329 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: So we're definitely going to be keeping a close eye 330 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: on it and. 331 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: How great it is to have a president that's so 332 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: candidate like this might not work. And you know, again, 333 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: obviously that's not what anybody wants to hear. But the 334 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: guy's realistic and he's opening about it, which is, which 335 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: is it's an interesting, interesting perspective into how the mind 336 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: of the most powerful person on the planet works. You know, 337 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: really quickly, there's some social Security news you want to 338 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: tell us about it. 339 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: Yet, ninetieth anniversary of Social Security today, the President announcing 340 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 2: some major overhauls to the Social Security Department and essentially 341 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: how social Security has been operating. Of course, you know, 342 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: thanks to the one big, beautiful Bill, there's no tax 343 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: on Social Security to those ages sixty five and up. 344 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: And some of the major reformations that the President is 345 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: pushing is he's trying to reduce field off his way 346 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: times by about thirty percent, reducing fallweight times by about 347 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: eighty percent, in doubling those calls twenty four to seven, 348 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: online access to your Social Security account, and they basically 349 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 2: doge social Security. They've kicked two hundred and seventy five 350 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 2: thousand illegal aliens off. 351 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: Social Security in order to make it just. 352 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 2: Better for Americans for Americans only, which is huge, so 353 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: very big day. 354 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: Nonetheless, I think the Libs are going to be upset 355 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: that they don't get to listen to that hold weight 356 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: time music on the phone with Social Security. They're just 357 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: going to be very furious about that. Of course, with 358 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: these new upgrades, Monica pays turning points White House Correspondent, 359 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time, Thanks you, guys, Thank you. 360 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: With AI becoming so prevalent and prominent, so many people 361 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: are worried about losing their jobs to AI, and the 362 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: sad reality is AI is going to make a huge 363 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,239 Speaker 1: difference in the job market. Some people are already seeing that, 364 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,719 Speaker 1: most specifically recent college men who've graduated from colleges with 365 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: degrees in like computer science or computer engineering or all 366 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: of these things, that AI is making it more difficult 367 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: to find jobs with Let's bring our panel back here 368 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: because I'm super curious about their thoughts on this, Haley 369 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: Karnia and Adrian Gray. Adrian, so from this, like, obviously 370 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: it's difficult to find a job here if you've if 371 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: you've graduated from college, You've got a degree in something 372 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: that AI is dominating. What do young men do who 373 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: are struggling to find jobs in kind of these soft 374 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: fields or the software fields, or like the developer sorry, 375 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: the internet world, the software development world. Do they kind 376 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: of transition into other careers? And then what does that 377 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: say about college going forward? 378 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's. 379 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 6: A This is a nuanced conversation. There's a lot of 380 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 6: points to be made, but. 381 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 4: I think they definitely. 382 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 5: I think again, as we think about the American dream, 383 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 5: and maybe we're not getting the job that we signed 384 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 5: up for. 385 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 6: As somebody who majored in studio arts, guess. 386 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: What I'm in. 387 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 6: I'm in conservative media, honey. 388 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 5: So I did not get what I went. 389 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 4: To school for. 390 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 5: And so the same for them is you have to 391 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 5: get a little bit creative, okay. And so the American 392 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 5: Juriam says, well, why don't you try to come up 393 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 5: with something that can solve a problem. Okay, it can 394 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 5: be as simple as like a landscaping business. But people 395 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 5: are more so wanting to invest in people, not these 396 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 5: big businesses. So why not have a creative take on 397 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 5: doing that. 398 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 4: Another thing with AI that. 399 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 6: Is interesting to me is I'm more concerned about. 400 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 5: I thought, Okay, so if AI is here and it 401 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 5: can do all the things that you would say naturally 402 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 5: successful people were able. 403 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 6: To do because we have a computer basically giving us the. 404 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 5: Guidebook, I still believe people need to have that talent. 405 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 5: So the process is still going to be you have 406 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 5: to be the full package. Whether you can get that 407 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 5: too from A to B, you still have to be 408 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 5: the vessel, and the vessel still has to have talent. 409 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 5: So when it comes to this day and age, when 410 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 5: it comes to having alternative media, being an influencer online 411 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 5: like that, AI isn't going to be able to replace 412 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 5: those types of jobs. 413 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 6: Now. I know for conservative men they're not interested in 414 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 6: being influencers. 415 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 5: However, I think it's just a time to get creative 416 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 5: and instead of sitting in the basement whining to their mom, 417 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 5: let's go out and try to do something. And I 418 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 5: think that's why women are more successful. 419 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: I may take a little bit of an issue about 420 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: men not wanting to be conservative influencers as a male 421 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: conservative influencer ish myself, but Haley, what is this kind 422 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: of So as far as like the dating pool goes, 423 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: like women have kind of always had this stigma of 424 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: like higher earned men, Like you want a high value man, 425 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: and usually that means going to college. So if a 426 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: guy didn't go to college, he would kind of lower 427 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: his stature on the dating market. Do you think in 428 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: the modern age, where the hard skills being a plumber 429 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: and an electrician contractor of some kind tends to be more 430 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: guaranteed of a job, does that kind of stigma need 431 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: to go away? What are your thoughts there, Yeah. 432 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 3: The stigma definitely needs to go away, because the the 433 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 3: interesting part about this study is that women with bachelor 434 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 3: degrees are finding jobs men with bachelor degrees aren't. I 435 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: don't know if that's because women are DEI hires or whatever, 436 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 3: but I think we're doing a disservice by telling young 437 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 3: people in general that you have to go to college 438 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 3: to be successful. You can just go out of school 439 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 3: and get a job in a trade and start making 440 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 3: forty grand, sixty grand, eighty grand right out of high school. 441 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 3: And I think you're better off doing that. You're going 442 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 3: to find a girlfriend if you're making eighty k when 443 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 3: you're twenty years old, rather than starting in the negatives 444 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 3: with all this college loan debt. 445 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be really interesting to see how this kind 446 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: of shapes the the I guess the family structure really ultimately, 447 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: when you really get down to it, kind of the 448 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: most important thing you've got out there. But speaking of 449 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: the family, they're just viewers. I recognize there's really no 450 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: political benefit to this story. I just think it's really interesting, 451 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: especially considering how high profile this family is. Ashley Biden 452 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: filed for a divorce worse from her husband of thirteen 453 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: years and again, nobody necessarily wants to see divorces, but 454 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: the way that it's being played out in the media, 455 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: I think is really freaking fascinating. Hayley, she posted on 456 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: Instagram a picture of what is allegedly her husband and 457 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: here her husband's girlfriend, and said, my husband holding hands 458 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: with his girlfriend, attached to a notorious bag song called 459 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: another I guess, displaying the affair to the world. What 460 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: this is My real question? Why are the Bidens continuing 461 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: to be in the public eye to the level that 462 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: they are. Hunter doesn't have to go do interviews, Ashley 463 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: Biden doesn't have to publicize her fallout with her husband. 464 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: What What is it in the mindset of a person 465 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: like that that says the public needs to know everything 466 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: I'm doing and everything I think. 467 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 3: Honestly, Joe Bob, I hate that you're making me side 468 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 3: with a member of the Biden family. I am so 469 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 3: anti cheating. I am so anti infidelity. I say, as 470 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 3: petty as this is, go for it. Name and Shane 471 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 3: your cheating husband. He deserves it. 472 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: Okay, well no, but I agree on that front. But 473 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: I just I don't know, if you're a public figure, 474 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: it just seems to me, like so just like, I 475 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: don't know, should the American people be subjected to their 476 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: former first family kind of going through a bunch of 477 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: this nonsense in the public. I don't know that I 478 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: agree with you on the cheating point. Adrian, What are 479 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: your thoughts on this just kind of overall as a whole, 480 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: how they're handling it, what the fallout is going to 481 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: look like on the on the Biden family image, so 482 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: to speak. 483 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 5: I think I think the Biden family obviously is a circus. 484 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 5: And here's the thing. I looked at the photo. The 485 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 5: woman kind of looks like a prostitute. Okay, so doesn't 486 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 5: really look like a girlfriend. I know we're saying girlfriend, 487 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 5: but looks. 488 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 4: Like pros if they were me. Look, I'm gonna be honest. 489 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 5: I am an Aquarius, a Republican, a blode and I'm 490 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 5: like that would I would drag her, I would drag 491 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 5: the situation. You're not going to do that to me. Listen, 492 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 5: you don't want to be on the other side of that, 493 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 5: So I understand it. 494 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 4: I also I also just think again. 495 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 5: It's hard to take this story seriously.

The 672 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 12: team is incredible.

This is back when he was like the 695 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 12: influencer husband or the Instagram husband, He's always like he's 696 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 12: way more fear based, and he's like, what if it 697 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 12: just like what if we get canceled? I go, Babe, 698 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 12: the worst thing that couldn't happen is we have to 699 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 12: move out of our house and we're homeless, but we 700 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 12: still have each other. Like that's literally like that's the 701 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 12: worst thing that can happen, and that's still great. So 702 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 12: I truly don't live in fear like that. I'm I'm 703 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 12: also really I've always been like a saver, so so 704 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 12: everything from day one, I've just saved or invested, like 705 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 12: and so I think that also helps me not feel 706 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 12: so fearful of it all going away because we always 707 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 12: have something to fall back on. But yeah, no, I've 708 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 12: just I'm honestly just very grateful that we're still here. 709 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 11: When you look back in time at the moment that 710 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 11: your hair started significantly falling out, do you feel like 711 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 11: that was coming from stress of content creation? 712 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 10: I mean, I've. 713 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 12: Probably been canceled quote unquote canceled like four times in 714 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 12: my life, and this one happened after the first like cancelation, 715 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 12: which I've never even really talked. 716 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 10: About this we'll tell us because I don't know. 717 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 12: Well, I mean it's like a whole you know, everybody's 718 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 12: been canceled so many times for so many different things. Now, 719 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 12: it's like, but but this one was like the first 720 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 12: time that I had like really intense hate people telling 721 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 12: me to go, you know, jump off a bridge, to 722 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 12: hurt myself whatever. 723 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 10: And I had never had that type of feedback before. 724 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 12: And so on top of just like honestly nutritionally not 725 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 12: taking care of myself, I wasn't working out. 726 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 10: I wasn't. I was just like a workaholic. 727 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 12: On top of all of that, the stress that came 728 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 12: from that cancelation like. 729 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 10: Really affected my hair, I think too. 730 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 12: And then I got hair extensions to try to cover 731 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 12: it up, and that caused traction alopecia. And what people 732 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 12: don't understand about hair extensions or attraction alopecia is if 733 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 12: you're tugging on this like one section of your hair, 734 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 12: you don't just lose hair where the hair extension was attached, 735 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 12: you lose like the entire patch, like around this whole 736 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 12: surface area. So and so that's why when you see 737 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 12: people with hair extension damage and you take out their 738 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 12: hair extensions, their hair looks very jig jaggedy and like 739 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 12: almost like very fluffy on the ends. 740 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 13: And that's that's why. So anyway, I had so. 741 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 12: Many there were so many issues with my health, and 742 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 12: so I just decided, Okay, I'm gonna take this year 743 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 12: and transition into wigs, and I'm gonna wear wigs. And 744 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 12: I actually went to school too. I was a kinesiology major. 745 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 12: So I went to school to apply to pizza school. 746 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 12: I didn't apply to pizza school, but I understood, like 747 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 12: the basic systems of your body. And so I would 748 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 12: get into my bathroom and start making my own scalp 749 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 12: serums because I felt like this was like the air 750 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 12: of dry shampoo, and people were just like just spray 751 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 12: dry shampoo, never showering anymore. And that's great, but all 752 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 12: of that gunk was just sitting on your scalp, which 753 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 12: is also just not good for you, has. 754 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 10: Horrible ingredients in it. 755 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 12: It's going through a hair follicle, clogging your hair follicle, 756 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 12: not giving your follicle like a full chance of growth. 757 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 12: And so I just decided, Okay, I'm gonna start like 758 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 12: detoxing and stimulating. And I shared all this with my 759 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 12: audience on YouTube and they were like, hey, can you 760 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 12: send us some. So my first when I wanted to 761 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 12: launch Divvy, it was really just like a scalp steum 762 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 12: I had made in my bathroom. 763 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 10: That was really all it was. And I don't have 764 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 10: like genetically the most beautiful hair. 765 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 12: It's it's thin thin, it's fine, no, same, I have 766 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 12: clippins and yeah, yeah my hair, you and I have 767 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 12: the exact same hair textures. 768 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 13: Yeah, and it's in like so, but I feel like there's. 769 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 12: Not a lot of products for girls like us because 770 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 12: all the people that are creating shampoos and conditions, they 771 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 12: all have genetically beautiful hair. 772 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 10: So I was like, can we focus on like the thin. 773 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 12: Girl, thinning hair, girls and women that need help with 774 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 12: their scalp and so it was just insane.

We accept 815 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: and welcome all emails, even if you send them at 816 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: like three in the morning. That's that's totally fine, totally fair. 817 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 1: You can do that. I question your life decisions unless 818 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: you're working a job that has some odd hours, but 819 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: three am emails just as good as regular emails. During 820 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,919 Speaker 1: the show, we got this email from Brad yesterday saying 821 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: that Savannah and Andez was wrong. Minnesota is actually a 822 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 1: very red state except for the deep blue Minneapolis area, 823 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: and Brad, I happen to agree with you. I will 824 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: reprimand Savannah severely. So many states are like this. They are. 825 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the geographic map of the 826 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: entire country and it's pretty much all red except for 827 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: these tiny little blue specs where the population centers are. 828 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 1: California is like that Los Angeles San Francisco area outside 829 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,879 Speaker 1: of those very populous parts of the state, very very red, 830 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: especially if you go out past the suburbs. It's like 831 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: as red as red gets, but unfortunately controlled by the 832 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: population area. So Brad, you are correct on that observation, 833 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: and like I said, I will reprimand Savannah for her 834 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: disgraceful and disgusting comments on the great state of Minnesota. Also, 835 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: William emailed on the name says my odd name, which 836 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: again it is odd. I fully admit that reminds him 837 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: of a time when his mom was talking about his siblings. 838 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: I believe it. I don't have it in front of me, 839 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: Joe and Bob and Joe Bob. So we'll appreciate you 840 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: watching and sending in your emails again tpt at tpusa 841 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: dot com. I want to get to this video. This 842 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 1: isn't a throwdown Thursday. There's too much throwing involved in 843 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 1: the show already today with the sandwich, Glenn pointed out 844 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: that you know, can't do too many throwing. We've reached 845 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: our throwing capacity and our throw limit, so not really 846 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: throw it on Thursday. But what it is is, I 847 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: don't know how people make these videos. Seriously, I am 848 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: a big fan of satire and sarcass I'm sure a 849 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: lot of you are. To me this this views as 850 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: a sarcastic, satirical video, but apparently it's not. At least 851 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: of my knowledge, I cannot find anyone saying no, no, 852 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: this is sad tire. This lady's clear joking. She seriously 853 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,399 Speaker 1: put this video out and so without further I gotta 854 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 1: get to show it to you. Watch this. 855 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 4: You know what I'm sick of. I'm sick of the 856 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 4: food stamp office. 857 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 14: Okay, okay, hang on, hang on, before I get myself 858 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 14: worked up. I just came here to talk about how 859 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 14: I went. I went from literally seventeen hundred dollars in 860 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 14: food stamps for a family of three. Okay, I don't work. 861 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 14: I stay home every day. I'm not able to work, 862 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 14: so I should be getting the maximum amount, especially because 863 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 14: he needs cereal, chips, pop, he needs all. 864 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,760 Speaker 4: That, and I need my energy drinks. 865 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 14: So I'm not gonna have this taken me down from 866 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 14: that much, and they took me all the way down 867 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 14: to one hundred and one hundred and twenty dollars, which 868 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 14: they didn't even tell me why. I just got this 869 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 14: notice in here. It says they were cutting me back 870 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 14: on food stamps. So now I'm really gonna have to 871 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 14: cut back on everything. He's not gonna be able to 872 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 14: have his pop no more. He's not gonna be able 873 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 14: to have his cereal every day for breakfast and his chips. 874 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:06,919 Speaker 15: That he eats all day long. 875 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,280 Speaker 14: Wow, great, thanks, thanks. 876 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: I honest to god, how do you make that video? Seriously, 877 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: how do you think that people are gonna be like, 878 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that your child isn't 879 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 1: gonna be able to ingest things that will slowly deteriorate 880 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: his insights. Why how could they do that to you? 881 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: How do you think that that's the way people are 882 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: gonna react to that? First of all, and you know, 883 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: I don't know her situation. I would say, though, as 884 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 1: an offhanded observer, it seems like you might be able 885 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: to work. It's just just a thought. Just I don't 886 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: actually know what her situation is. Maybe she definitively actually 887 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: can't work. But holy cow, the entitlement there is unbelievable. 888 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: It's hard to believe that people make these not satirically 889 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: or sarcastically, and think that people are gonna come flocking 890 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,319 Speaker 1: to their sides like, oh yeah, no, actually, so here 891 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 1: here you go. Here's more money for you to dwindle 892 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: away feeding your kids soda and chips all day. 893 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 10: Wow. 894 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: Anyways, that's going to do a first here, a turning 895 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: point tonight, Charlie is going to take us out. We 896 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: will see you tomorrow, same time seeing please God bless America. 897 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 16: Paints called the Annointing of Matthew or the a point 898 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,879 Speaker 16: in of Matthew I can't remember which probably a point 899 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 16: in I suppose like one of the geezers is sat 900 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 16: at the end like that, and I think that's the 901 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 16: one that's Matthew. That one what you who's getting appointed, 902 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 16: and you will understand he's reluctance to be appointed in 903 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 16: this holy mission when you see that. The next of 904 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 16: their they're not a trip tich, but they are free 905 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 16: paintings hung together is Matthew with Gabriel Wright in. 906 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 15: His Testament and Gospel. 907 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 16: And then the final image is Matthew being flayed, which 908 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 16: means skinned alive for his faith and for his chrisanity. 909 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,439 Speaker 16: I thought, if we believed as he believed, how could 910 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 16: it be that you could have an institution like the 911 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 16: Vatcan and not have a revolution? If we believed as 912 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 16: he believed, how could you have us go into church 913 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 16: every Sunday praying, teaching our kids reading the Word and 914 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 16: not have the revolution or at least the way he 915 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 16: made straight for. 916 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:20,800 Speaker 15: The return of our Savior. 917 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 16: If we believed only as Paul believed, as Peter believed, 918 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 16: as Barnabas believed, as Mary believed, as Stephen believed, this 919 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 16: is the church that excites and interests me, and I 920 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 16: know it comes at a high cost. And I know 921 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 16: what our Lord said to is it a Nias? When 922 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 16: Paul's on his way Damascus. Paul's come in. I've chosen him. 923 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 16: He's going to suffer greatly for my name. So go 924 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 16: over there and sort his head out. He's gone blind, 925 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 16: he's had a little bit of a shock on the 926 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 16: way here, paraphrasing. But what I feel is that it 927 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 16: was a thresholder was past, Charlie, that I was still 928 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 16: withheld in the New Age, and I still bear the 929 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 16: scars of the New Age. 930 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 17: I was going to ask you about that, but I 931 00:43:58,520 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 17: wanted to be polite. 932 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 16: She's the Durga is a great goddess in you know, 933 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,359 Speaker 16: this is attatle I've had for some years now, of course, 934 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 16: prior's coming. 935 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 17: To I mean, why'd you decide to get a tattoo 936 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 17: of her? 937 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 16: Because Durgha is a she's female goddess energy. And I 938 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 16: have a wife, and I have two daughters, and I 939 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 16: always commemorate in and celebrate in the power of my 940 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 16: wife Laura, and of my daughters Mabel and Peggy. Durgha, 941 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 16: in one of our aspects, rides a tiger, and I 942 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 16: like the idea of my daughters and my wife being powerful, 943 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 16: strong women who know how to marshal the energy that 944 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,879 Speaker 16: God gave them. And of course there is no God 945 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 16: by him, and I surrender him, bow down to Christ Jesus, 946 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 16: and I disavow all false idols. But the false idols 947 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 16: that concern me most are not those that merge out 948 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,840 Speaker 16: of Hinduism or even Islam, although I'm sure you. 949 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 15: Will hear rhetoric here to the contrary. 950 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 16: No, it is the false idols that emerge from our culture, 951 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,879 Speaker 16: the ones that the graven images that we stare at 952 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 16: day after day, hour after hour, the endless, endless effluvia 953 00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 16: and limitless flow of filth and pornography that denigrates. 954 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 15: It lowers us. 955 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 16: Or it's the false idols within our culture that I 956 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 16: fear most. But you know, Peter took the Jews, and 957 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 16: Paul took their gentiles. 958 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 15: We're all going to get called to different missions. And 959 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 15: I don't claim to know very much. 960 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 16: I think about myself all the time, and I don't 961 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,839 Speaker 16: understand myself yet, so how would I know anything about 962 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 16: anyone or anything else. But what I would say is 963 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,919 Speaker 16: is the false idols in the culture that I fear most, 964 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 16: that want us deadened and distracted. 965 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 17: I totally agree. 966 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 8: It's look, modernity has made us materially wealthier but spiritually poor, 967 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 8: and that that is modernity, and we are seeing a 968 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 8: reckoning of that while people want to return to a tradition. 969 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 17: We'll only know a couple. We only have a couple 970 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 17: of minutes. 971 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,800 Speaker 8: I got to get you on stage, but really, yes, 972 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 8: this is just the warm up act. 973 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 15: Man, I'm feeling nervous.
