1 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: A ritzy, upscale neighborhood in a deep blue city is 2 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: starting to realize, Hey, some of these deep blue policies 3 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: are affecting us, and we're not happy about it. NBC 4 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: also has some advice on by now Pay later scams, 5 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: and the advice is honestly kind of hilarious and banning 6 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: machetes because that's what this state in Australia needs. All 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: that more coming up on this episode, A Turning Point tonight. 8 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. 9 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 2: Together. 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,319 Speaker 1: We are charging the course of America's cultural comeback. This 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 1: is turning point tonight. Now, before we get to those 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: stories in our fantastic panel, Congress is on break. The 13 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: legislative branch is on break, so they're back in their 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: districts pretty much full time if they're a good congress person, 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: and they're hosting town halls, and with that comes libs 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: screaming their heads off. I asked producer Glenn to double 17 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: triple quadrupe double check that this picture wasn't ai but 18 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: it is. This is from Congressman Mike Flood's town hall 19 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: and which he said some incredibly reasonable things that people 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: still booed for and some very unreasonable things that they 21 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: cheered for, which probably mostly came from this lady or 22 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: sorry at this day them. I'm not sure what she 23 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: is or identifies as. But the question surrounding this is 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: should people still be holding town halls congressional members specifically, 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: especially considering that there are people on the conservative side 26 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: that said Libs coming to these things and wrecking them 27 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: with their just outlandish, absurd distractions makes them completely ineffective. 28 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: Well that's the direction coming from the heads at the 29 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: conservative movement on a lot of different congressional fronts, But 30 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: some conservatives are also saying no, we're We're gonna still 31 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: have them. 32 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: So the question is posed, should. 33 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: Conservatives continue to have town halls especial actually with the 34 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: disruptions like this, Let's bring in our panel to way 35 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: in here. Chris Hand is the host of The Chris 36 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: Hand Show in primetime.

It 46 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: talks about two big changes. 47 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 3: So the MATICICAI program. One of those changes is that 48 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 3: if you are able to work, and you're able bodied. 49 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 4: You have to work. 50 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: If you choose not to work, you do not get 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 3: free healthcare. 52 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: You do not get free healthcare. 53 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So here's a question. 54 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: So here's a question. 55 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: Do you think that people who are twenty eight years 56 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: old that can work and refuse to work should get 57 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 3: free healthcare? 58 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: All right, that's enough of that, Chris. I'm gonna open 59 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: the floor to you. What are your thoughts. 60 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 1: On whether or not we should still be doing town halls, 61 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: because even when they weren't booming or cheering, they're just yelling, 62 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: chirping in the background, making as much of a distraction 63 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: as they can. 64 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 5: Well, first, I just want to address the picture that 65 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 5: you showed in the beginning of the segment that woman 66 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 5: clearly identifies as an orca. 67 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 4: We like to call them land whales. 68 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 5: And she's definitely gonna need free health insurance because the 69 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 5: diabetes and the clogged guardies are coming very very fast. 70 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 5: And I feel for her, I do, I do. I 71 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 5: also don't want to pay for it. Should they continue 72 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 5: doing these townholls? Yeah, they should, They absolutely should. We 73 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 5: know that the left is funding these leftist lunatics or 74 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 5: they're ramping them up with the rhetoric, but you. 75 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 4: Should be ready. You should be ready for these losers. 76 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 5: How about if you love Trump, keep yelling, you know, 77 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 5: say something dumb and get these idiots to shut up, 78 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 5: go in with a plan and keep doing the town halls. 79 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 4: I think that you should. 80 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited for this one, Alex as a guy 81 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: who goes in and I wouldn't necessarily even say disrupts, 82 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: but proves very very eloquent points in somewhat of a 83 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: humorous way. 84 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts here on the future of town halls. 85 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 6: Well, I try not to disrupt it so much so 86 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 6: that I get arrested, and I guess that's a little 87 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 6: different than what these people are doing. But you know, 88 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 6: obviously they should continue to keep doing these town halls. 89 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 6: And no disrespect to representative flood. But you know, half 90 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 6: these politicians, even the ones on Capitol Hill that get 91 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 6: elected to Congress, you can't really pick them out of 92 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 6: a lineup. So what this guy did, you know, accidentally, 93 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 6: is he went viral because these protesters went there. 94 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 7: So more of these politicians. 95 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 6: What they should do is, if they're really planning five 96 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 6: D chests, is you hire the protesters yourself to go 97 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 6: and disruptive, because that is what makes it interesting. No, seriously, 98 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 6: because you go to these meetings and they're so boring. 99 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 6: Half the time, you know the best and this is 100 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 6: a weird thing. 101 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 7: But what people don't realize in life, you need life 102 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 7: to be hard. 103 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 6: You need some resistance in order to you know, to 104 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 6: actually you know, succeed, in order to gain any sort 105 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 6: of really success, you need a little friction. So that's 106 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 6: why we're watching this. So honestly, they should pay the 107 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 6: protesters that come. 108 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 7: That friction makes it more undertwenty, It makes it go viral. 109 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 7: I'm dead serious. 110 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, keep them on their toes and yeah, creates viral content. 111 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: That's a pretty interesting point. I wonder if anybody will 112 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: take that up speak of things that lives are doing 113 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: that is fascinating and interesting. We all know that these 114 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: deep blue cities Los Angeles, New York, Chicago have these 115 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: horrible policies that are brought about by people who don't 116 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: live in the rougher parts of the neighborhood. 117 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: Similar situation is going on in Boston. 118 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: There's a neighborhood called Beacon Hill where the average home 119 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: price sits at about. 120 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 2: Two point three million dollars according to Realtor. 121 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: But they now are seeing the drug addicts, the transients 122 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: come into their neighborhood and for the last several months 123 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: have been going to city council meetings saying this. 124 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 2: Needs to stop. 125 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: Alex I feel like this is this is what it's 126 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: gonna have to take. We saw this with DeSantis shifting 127 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: illegals up to Martha's vineyard. We've seen this with a 128 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: bunch of different places of Hey, you know, deal with 129 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: these problems in your neighborhood and see how much you 130 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: like it. Do you think the tide is shifting or 131 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: do you think it's gotten so bad in these blue 132 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: cities that the elites that perpetuated are finally going to 133 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: start speaking up? 134 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,119 Speaker 7: Well, no, I really honestly think it's like the hunger games. 135 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 6: And I know we use that cliche a lot, but 136 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 6: there's there's literally no middle class. I just saw some 137 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 6: study the amount of people that are, you know, in 138 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 6: their thirties that own a house and have a kid 139 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 6: compared to the nineteen sixties is down like one thousand percent. 140 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 6: I mean, it's you know, it's incredible how far we 141 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 6: have fallen as a society. And really the indication that 142 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 6: it shows me is that we don't have a middle class, 143 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 6: either ultra wealthy or your home. And I think Boston 144 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 6: is a good example of that. Like being such a 145 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 6: classic city, it's priced out all the normal people. It's 146 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 6: just these Harvard elites that can afford to live there, 147 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 6: or the bums that live on the street that you know, 148 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 6: don't even want to go to a homeless shelter because 149 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 6: they're so strung out on Finnel. So I don't know 150 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 6: if this will actually be a wake up call because 151 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 6: I see in New York, I think Mom Donnie has 152 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 6: a very good. 153 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 7: Chance to win. It's Curtis Lee, would you know. 154 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 6: I think he's their only chance to defeed him and 155 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 6: he's ran a bunch of times and having won, so 156 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 6: I guess it's just a product of their environment, and 157 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 6: it's actually socially engineered to be that way, to have 158 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 6: no middle class and have ultra rich people, you know, 159 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 6: having to step over homeless people on their way to 160 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 6: the country club. 161 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it's a it's a crazy thing to 162 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: watch unfold. 163 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: Chris. 164 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: The only reason I think this was brought to the 165 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: media's attentions because this happens to be the neighborhood that 166 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: John Kerrey lives in. According to the Boston Public Health Commission, 167 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: there was a forty seven point one percent increase in 168 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: mortality rates due to drug use over twenty twenty to 169 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two versus twenty tweventeen to twenty nineteen. There's 170 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: kind of a lot of year's dates there, but basically 171 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: they've gone up by fifty percent drug use mortality rates 172 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: in this particular neighborhood. Same question that Alex answered, Do 173 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: you think this is going to be a wake up 174 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: call or do you think this is going to be 175 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: a continued slip into the separation of the elites and 176 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: the homeless? 177 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, no. 178 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 5: They'll throw money at the problem, but we've seen them 179 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 5: throw money at the problem. I believe it was Portland. 180 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 5: They threw like seven hundred million dollars at homelessness last 181 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 5: fiscal year and they saw it increase by like seventy percent. 182 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 5: It was something ridiculous. But no, No, In Boston, you 183 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 5: have may Or Michelle Wou running the city, and while 184 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 5: she doesn't allow whites to go to her Christmas party, 185 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 5: she's fine with them shooting up on the streets. And 186 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 5: it's insane. I grew up outside of Boston and the 187 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 5: drug use there, man, it is wild how much. 188 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 4: Fentanyl is going through there. 189 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 5: A lot of my friends have passed away in that 190 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 5: area because of overdoses. 191 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 4: As heartbreaking. 192 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 5: I mean, they make their own choices, and that sucks. 193 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 5: They shouldn't make those choices, but for the city to 194 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 5: enable it, it gets real mess. He was twenty twenty two. 195 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 5: Michelle wu started having a needle exchange program in a 196 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 5: lot of these areas, and you've seen the problem get 197 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 5: incrementally worse. 198 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 4: It seems like every time the Left has. 199 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 5: A solution, it's not a solution at all. Sure they'll 200 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 5: make a little bit of money here and there with 201 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 5: their nonprofits, but they don't ever fix the problem. 202 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 4: And I don't think they want to to be perfectly 203 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 4: honest with you. 204 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that seems to be the problem is they'll throw 205 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: money at it, but then they'll also pocket that money 206 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: when the money goes to the people that are in 207 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: their pocket. A crazy situation going on there. We'll keep 208 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: everybody updated on any unfolding events. But speaking of things 209 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: that are damaging that people don't necessarily know we're damaging, 210 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: I thought this was really interesting. The Journal of American 211 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: Heart Association on Wednesday published a study that basically said 212 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: kids from ten to eighteen years old are at higher 213 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: risk for cardio metabolic diseases including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, 214 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: and high insulince rates for watching screen time. If they 215 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: use screen times at a higher level than their counterparts 216 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: who don't use screen time, there risk for a bunch 217 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: of heart problems, which seems crazy to me. Now, nobody 218 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: actually knows why specifically, but Alex, let me get your 219 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: thoughts of why. 220 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 2: What you think might be causing this? 221 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 7: Uh? 222 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 2: Is it stress related? Is it teenage angst? What is it? 223 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 7: Well, I forget Joe Bob that you're a lot younger 224 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 7: than me. I know exactly what this is. 225 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 6: Because when I was a kid, I didn't have an iPad. 226 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 7: I didn't have a cell phone. 227 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 6: You know, we had the flip phone cell phones that 228 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 6: had the snake on them. You know, seriously, you know, 229 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 6: we had the no Kia phones that didn't have a 230 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 6: crap to do. 231 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 7: So you had to go on. 232 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 6: Your bicycle, you had to go ride your bike, you 233 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 6: had to go out in the hot Texas summers. Now 234 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 6: these kids are so insulated and they're just all on 235 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 6: their cell phone and they don't even go outside. They 236 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 6: don't even move around, And I think that's why their 237 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 6: hearts are not getting the exercise at a young age. 238 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 6: Or it's most important. You need the development, you need 239 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 6: your body, your hormone all balanced. You know, they're not 240 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 6: gonna their hormones are gonna be so embalanced when they're 241 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 6: eating microplastics and looking at their phone all day and 242 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 6: not moving. So I think it's just obvious that we've 243 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 6: changed this a society, and screen time equates less time 244 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 6: in the real world, which equates to bad health. 245 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: Interesting, and to lay it out here, none of us 246 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: on this panel or doctors, I can confirm. 247 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 7: This is not medical advice. It's not medical advice. 248 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 2: But again, as a non doctor, Chris. 249 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: You know, every every time I see you're out on 250 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: the weekends playing sports with your kids running around, they're 251 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: probably not inside on screens all day watching TV. So yeah, 252 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: I think Alex has a has a good point. It's 253 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: probably not the screen specifically, it's the lifestyle that comes 254 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: with the screens. What are your thoughts as a dad 255 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: of younger kids. 256 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, you're probably gonna have to do another 257 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 5: disclaimer after I say what I'm gonna say, because personally, 258 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 5: I think that conservative parents are shying away from technology 259 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 5: and liberal parents are fine to give it to them. 260 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 5: And what else do we know about liberal parents while 261 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 5: they're probably getting their kids schmaccinated allegedly. I have no idea, 262 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 5: so maybe that plays a part in it. I do 263 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 5: worry about the smartphones. I don't give them to my kids. 264 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 5: When my kids want technology, I get them a game 265 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 5: Boy Color. I got an End sixty four. I'll go 266 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 5: with tech before they started programming it to hit the 267 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 5: dopamine receptors, which is really crazy. But if you look 268 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 5: at the suicide risks that are raised with kids that 269 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 5: have phones as young as five, it's insane. And to 270 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 5: Alex's point, yeah, the phones we had were dumb phones. 271 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 5: There are options out there. I'm not saying don't let 272 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 5: your kids have a device to keep in contact with you, 273 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 5: but you can find all sorts of wearables and technology 274 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 5: that you can make phone calls. And that's it, and 275 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 5: it's really all they need. Get them off the screens, 276 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 5: get them outside, touch grass, all the things. 277 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: Again, nobody here is a doctor, but you should definitely 278 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: one hundred percent take this severely needed medical advice from us. 279 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: Three quasi comedians on the screen. Alex and Chris will 280 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: be back right after the break to discuss the banning 281 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: of machetes in Australia because that's the problem that needs 282 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: fixing down under. Don't go away, we'll be right back 283 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: after the break. 284 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 8: You got to admire what you've been able to do, 285 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 8: not to weaponize, but to organize on these college campuses. 286 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 9: At Turning Point USA. We spent thirteen years building the machine, 287 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 9: and last year we sought payoff. Our grassroots army is 288 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 9: making a real difference. Help us keep the momentum going. 289 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 9: Donate today and keep tp USA strong on campuses across America. 290 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 10: And for a gift of any amount, you'll receive your 291 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 10: big gov sucks cooler claim yours. 292 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 11: Today, President Trump signs an executive order holding bank companies 293 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 11: accountable for alleged discrimination against conservatives. A draft of this 294 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 11: order also directs bank regulators to investigate whether any of 295 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 11: these financial institutions like JP, Morgan, Chase, or Bank of 296 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 11: America may have violated the Equal Credit Opportunity Act or 297 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 11: consumer financial protections laws. Now, this new order threatens to 298 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 11: find lenders that drop their customers for political purposes, and 299 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 11: those found guilty of such practices could be subject to 300 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 11: financial penalties, consent decrees, or other disciplinary measures. This executive 301 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 11: order comes as many Americans claim they were debanked by 302 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 11: their lenders for political purposes. For example, business owner doctor 303 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 11: Joseph mccola claims his Chase Bank accounts were suddenly terminated 304 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 11: without explanation after his vocal criticism of the COVID vaccine. 305 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 11: The Heritage Foundation also claims this debanking phenomenon under former 306 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 11: President Biden hit the crypto world hard as well, alleging 307 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 11: the SEC unleashed multiple investigations with the intent to threaten 308 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 11: or force innovators and investors out of the space. Even 309 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 11: Resident Trump admitted his bank was terminating his account during 310 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 11: the twenty twenty election that. 311 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 12: Many many accounts loaded up with cash. I was loaded 312 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 12: up with cash, and they tell me, I'm sorry, sir, 313 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 12: we can't have you. You have twenty days to get out. 314 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 11: Even First Lady Malania Trump claims in her memoir that 315 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 11: her longtime bank terminated her account and her son Baron 316 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 11: was denied the opportunity to open a new one, while 317 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 11: CEO's moynihan and Diamond insists they don't discriminate or d bank. 318 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 5: We have seventy million customers and we're happy to serve anybody. 319 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 5: We don't de bank people because of the political religious affiliations. 320 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 7: What's your message. 321 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 4: But there are a lot of things that can be fixed. 322 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 13: We should fix them. 323 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 11: Many feel that trust could be restored due to this 324 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 11: executive order from the White House forefront lines with turning point, 325 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 11: I'm Monica page. 326 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: A while back, Australia famously banned guns after mass shooting 327 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: because guns were the problem one hundred percent, so guns 328 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: needed to get banned. Well, now they have a stabbing problem. 329 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: They have having knife violence problem in Australia. So rather 330 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: than address these sociological cultural variables that allow people to 331 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: think that it's okay to hurt other people.

Chris hand Alex Stein, Guys, 333 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: I thought this was a hilarious, hilarious in a horrifying 334 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: way video that's been floating around the internet. Check this 335 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: out and I'd love your reactions on Australia's banning of machetes. 336 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: Check us out. 337 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 14: From the first of September, when the ban on machetes 338 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 14: takes place, we are rolling out through Victoria Police at 339 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 14: twenty four to seven police stations the safe disposal bins. 340 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 15: People can come and lawfully dispose of any machete that 341 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 15: they may already have. And we've done this because we 342 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 15: want to get these knives off the streets, because these 343 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 15: knives destroy live. 344 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: Yep, it's it's the knives. 345 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: I hate it when my knife is on the kitchen 346 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: table and it jumps up and stabs someone. 347 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 2: That's just I hate that. Chris. 348 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: So, Australians in the state of Victoria have until September 349 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: one to have amnesty by submitting their knives to one 350 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: of forty disposable bins. How much participation do you think 351 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: this is gonna get in Australia. 352 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 5: Well, I just think it's hilarious that this benevolent government 353 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 5: thinks that banning knives, giving you a few months to 354 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 5: do so is just very kind. I wonder what they're 355 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 5: gonna do with the giant spiders though, I do think 356 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 5: you need machetes to handle some of the giant spiders 357 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 5: in Australia and some of the other terrifying wildlife. But 358 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 5: this is exactly what we've seen in so many other countries. 359 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 5: How long until they start doing the QR codes on 360 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 5: their knives like. 361 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 4: They do in Japan? Been the knife? 362 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 5: This always seems to happen that evil people are gonna 363 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 5: do evil things at the end of the day, and 364 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 5: the instrument is just the instrument. When they get rid 365 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 5: of the knives, well then they'll go to a car 366 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 5: and we'll see what happens. Ban cars next in Australia. 367 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 5: What does kel she say or polymarket? Probably they probably would. 368 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: I think they're trying to get there from a green 369 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: energy climate change standpoint, Alex So this is really interesting 370 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: to me machetes specifically. I'm Someone and my dad was 371 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: born in Someone. We went back there a couple of 372 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: years ago and they had a rack of machetes just 373 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: in the grocery store checkout line. You know how you 374 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: see like People magazine or the New York Post or tabloids, there. 375 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: Was a rack of machetes. Famous nobody got stabbed there. 376 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 2: Why why do you think that is? 377 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 6: Well, I mean, obviously I'm pro gone I want more guns. 378 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 7: I think more guns actually create less gun violence. 379 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 6: But the reason why I did, nobody gets statished, because 380 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 6: let's be real, why do people get stated they get 381 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 6: caught shooting on their wives. 382 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 7: You know, people get statis because they get something wrong. 383 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 7: It's not the wives fault. You know, they got stabed. 384 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 6: They shouldn't have been caught with a mistress. So I 385 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 6: guess when it comes to Australia, I love my Australian 386 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 6: brothers and sister so very much, but you know, you 387 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 6: saw what they did during the pandemic. 388 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 7: They were, you know, one of the harshest lockdowns in 389 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 7: the world. So I'm actually not surprised that. 390 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 6: You know, whenever you trade your freedom for protection with 391 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 6: the government, you always end up with neither. So they're 392 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 6: not even be able to cut the brush of the 393 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 6: bushdown very soon in Australia. 394 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, again, it is a cultural problem. Try fixing the 395 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: culture rather than banning a thing. An inanimate object that, 396 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: unfortunately can you know, obviously get in the hands of 397 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: the wrong person, can can be bad. 398 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 2: But it's not the thing. 399 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: It's the person speaking of the person in the culture 400 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: that I thought, this is really interesting, Alex. This whole 401 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: buy now, pay later has been a topic of discussion 402 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: for the last couple of months. People can effectively finance 403 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: a burrito on the Chipotle app. If you're gonna order burrito, 404 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: you can do bind out pay later in four installments, 405 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: and people are doing it. The reason I bring this 406 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: up is because NBC had a article that said these 407 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: are tips to smartly handle your buy now, pay later says, 408 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: focus on needs it versus once, pause before perch, read 409 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: the fine print, and avoid stacking buy now, pay later loans. 410 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: Do you think that's effective or should we just say, hey, 411 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: stop buying things you can't afford. 412 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 6: You know, I really was a huge culture shock the 413 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 6: first time I saw that. Rent a Center, one of 414 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 6: the most famous you know, buy here, pay later furniture stores, 415 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 6: they started doing layaway for Jordan's. I don't know if 416 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 6: you ever saw that where they're actually selling you know, George. Yes, 417 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 6: this is a it's a famous thing you can look 418 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 6: out for. Rent to center was, you know, selling these 419 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 6: buy here, pay later tennis shoes, and I thought, man, 420 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 6: this is like the bottom of society. You know, now 421 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 6: we're financing you know, Jordan tennis shoes. But now the 422 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 6: fact that we're financing Chipotle burritos, I have to get 423 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 6: my conspiracy tinfoil had on. You know, this is done 424 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 6: on purpose because they want people to have horrible credit 425 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 6: scores at a very you know, early age and their 426 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 6: credit history so that those people don't get money from 427 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 6: banks or aren't able to buy a home, so that 428 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 6: they are, like I said earlier, they can't be a 429 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 6: part of the middle class. 430 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 7: They have to be on governmentssistance the rest of their lives. 431 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 6: So this is done on purpose to try to make 432 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 6: it harder for buyers. 433 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 7: In the future, you know, to have good credit. 434 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 6: Because I think I saw I forget which company it 435 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 6: was that is doing this by here pay later on 436 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 6: these small you know, price transactions whatever it's called. 437 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 7: I think they were like three hundred million dollars in debt, 438 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 7: I believe, so don't call me on that. 439 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 6: But I don't think this has been financially beneficial for 440 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 6: the loan givers. 441 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: I want to say it was four hundred million dollars 442 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: and they, yeah, they couldn't recoup all of the stuff 443 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: that they were lending stuff out for because you can't 444 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: repoll it. Like Chris, you can repoe a car, you 445 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: can evict somebody from a house and foreclothes on it. 446 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: You can't repoe a burrito unless you're weird and into 447 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: some pretty sadistic stuff, you know. To Alex's point, do 448 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: you think this is kind of like on purpose to 449 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: kind of diminish people's ability to finance bigger and more 450 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: necessary necessary things in the future. You'll you'll own nothing 451 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: and enjoy it type of mentality. 452 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 5: I think Alex actually makes a great point. Debt slavery 453 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 5: is not a conspiracy theory. We see it happen to 454 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 5: college kids every year as they walk across that aisle 455 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 5: for graduation. I would go a step further and I 456 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 5: would say, you know, take away even the buy now, 457 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 5: pay later. Poor people shouldn't be using Uber Eats and 458 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 5: door Dash for starters. Go pick it up on your own. 459 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 5: Let's be perfect less make a sandwich. I remember when 460 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 5: I was struggling in radio and trying to make it. 461 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 4: I went for a week eating. 462 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 5: Stale taco shells in salsa, and like you had to. 463 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 4: Go through that. 464 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 5: You had to experience that, and it got me to 465 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 5: a better place. If I could have financed a burrito, 466 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 5: I would have and I would have been in debt 467 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 5: and I wouldn't have been able to climb that ladder 468 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 5: to where I am now, owning. 469 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 4: A home, having a wife, having kids. 470 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 5: No, you shouldn't be using any of this stuff period 471 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 5: if you're not financially stable, let alone the buy now, 472 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 5: pay later. 473 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 4: Aspect of it. 474 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 5: You're screwing yourself if you were a college kid, if 475 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 5: you're a young person, because that's who they're targeting. Really, 476 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 5: you're screwing yourself using this stuff, whether it's buy now, 477 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 5: pay later, or using it just at face value. 478 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, what I heard from that is having a wife 479 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: as a financial decision. Interesting and I don't necessarily disagree, 480 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: but a topic for a different time.

I 504 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 17: will say the first week is always going to be 505 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 17: more expensive. Adding in those seeds, in those healthy oils. 506 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 17: There's a cost to that, but they last and so 507 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 17: after that usually the grocery list evens out, and that's 508 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 17: something I'm really considerate of with people. Repeat meals, don't 509 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 17: let anything go to waste. That's the key sustainable habits. 510 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 16: What is an integrative nutritionist and what is your food philosophy? 511 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 17: I think anybody you ask would probably give you a 512 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 17: different answer, But my answer what an integrative nutrition is 513 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 17: means I'm looking at the mind, the body, and the spirit. 514 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 17: And sometimes when I work with somebody, it's all spiritual. 515 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 17: Sometimes when I work with somebody, it's all emotional. Sometimes 516 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 17: when I work with somebody, it's all clinical. So the 517 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 17: bioindividualized approach using all different kinds of quote unquote medicine, 518 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 17: anything from like Chinese iervidic, biomolecular to traditional functional. I 519 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 17: say traditional functional because functional medicine has been so popular 520 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 17: and I don't even like the word medicine necessarily, but 521 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 17: that's what it's referred to as. So I really integrate 522 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 17: what people need to support their whole body. One of 523 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 17: my favorite methods, which I hope we get into later, 524 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 17: is iovidic because I want to tell you more about yourself. 525 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 16: Yeah, I don't know any word. I don't even know 526 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 16: what it means. 527 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 17: Okay, so Irvidic is ancient medicine. It comes from like 528 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 17: six thousand years ago. It was written not even in scrolls, 529 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 17: but like in trees. But my favorite part of iervidic 530 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 17: is that we're responsible for supporting our bodies, for bringing 531 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 17: balance to the body, and so many people bypass that 532 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 17: by trying to supplement symptoms or supplement in general. So 533 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 17: Irvidic is like, how do we restore the body that 534 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 17: we're given with the elements that the body is And 535 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 17: so it sounds like wo woo when you think of 536 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 17: it that way, but even Western culture adopted the philosophy 537 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 17: when it came to assessing criminals. So there's a irevidic 538 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 17: Dosha body type, and then there's this somatic bodype or 539 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 17: not somatic that's nervous system somo typing when it comes 540 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 17: to assessing criminals. So it's ironic that we adopted this 541 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 17: body type when it comes to assessing criminals. But there's 542 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 17: three different body types and they are each made up 543 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 17: of different elements, and based on the elements that the 544 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 17: body type is made up with, is how you rebalance 545 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 17: and restore the body like certain body types should never 546 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 17: in a million year's cold plunge ever. 547 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 18: Ever, ever, who I knew it? I knew it. 548 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 16: I have been infected this from day one, that cold 549 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 16: plunge will be terrible for me. And I've and telling 550 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 16: people I don't think, oh women should be cold plunging. 551 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 17: Exactly, And you're a hundred percent right, a Vata woman, 552 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 17: you long lean air is your element, should never cold punch. 553 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 16: Ever, would that be the case for anybody with autoimmune 554 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 16: I will. 555 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 17: Say that most thyroid hashimotos and other autoimmune related to 556 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 17: that are Vata body types, so they all they do 557 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 17: go hand in hand. Yes, for most people with certain 558 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 17: autoimmune they shouldn't. But the pitta and the kaffa, those 559 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 17: are the other two body types. A pitta is really strong. 560 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 17: A lot of business owners go getters. Fire is the element, okay, 561 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 17: and then the kafa is wood water goes with the flow, 562 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 17: always pleasing others, but tends to be a little bit bulkier. 563 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 18: They can cold punge, okay. The pitta needs to cold plunge. 564 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 17: That's why those are the people that are raping about 565 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 17: it and trying to get everybody to buy one, because 566 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 17: they're a pitta and they need to put their fire out, 567 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 17: but a vata and air doesn't need to be any 568 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 17: colder than you already are. 569 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 16: Okay, this is fascinating, Yet I feel like you could 570 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 16: do a whole episode just on this. 571 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 17: I know, and I was like holding out on telling you. 572 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 17: So my food philosophy in the feel good way that 573 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 17: you will find that I've been teaching for seventeen years. 574 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,239 Speaker 17: Part of what I learned was because I was a 575 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 17: female college athlete and I wanted to take that performance 576 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 17: energy into everyday life because I thought, doesn't everybody. 577 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 18: Want to perform? 578 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 17: And the more I'm around people that are business owners 579 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 17: or you know, want to feel good at their daily jobs. 580 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 18: Everybody wants to perform. Everybody wants to have energy. 581 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 17: So I built the feel good philosophy seventeen years ago 582 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 17: and it still stands. So it's eating within the hour 583 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 17: of waking up, always combining all three macros carbs, fats, proteins. 584 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 17: My philosophy for a cycling woman is fifty percent carbs, 585 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 17: twenty to thirty percent fat, twenty to thirty percent protein. 586 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 17: And the way this looks is the palm of the 587 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 17: hand carbs, the fists, protein, and the thumb fat because 588 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 17: the fat is twice as nutrient dense. Oh and I'm 589 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 17: not saying we should limit ourselves to that. This is 590 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 17: a range, it's a road map, but not necessarily hard 591 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 17: fast rules. I just think that cycling women tend to 592 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 17: under eat carbs because it's kind of the trend. 593 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 16: So that's definitely what I'm doing, and it's not my choice. 594 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 16: It's just I think I'm struggling getting enough carbs because 595 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 16: I was told by so many people I need to 596 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 16: be gluten free. So then I'm not eating a lot 597 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 16: of bread, right, And I feel like I am somebody 598 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 16: that would love a huge, heaping pile of grass fed 599 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 16: butter on top of some bread and soured oat bread, 600 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 16: and now I can't eat that. So it's just like, Okay, 601 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 16: is it potatoes or is it rice? I mean, are 602 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 16: actions I'm trying, But it's just like every meal. 603 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 17: I mean, there is a bread company that I love 604 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 17: out of Colorado that's like so worth ordering as much 605 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 17: as you can fit. 606 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 18: In your freezer. Yeah, tell me outside the bread box. 607 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 17: Okay, they have vegan oat If you do good with oats, 608 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 17: I don't do good with oats as oatmeal personally, but 609 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 17: I do good with oats baked in things. 610 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 18: Got their bread tastes like a croissant. I'm not joking. Okay, 611 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 18: sanches with it. You can do all kinds of things. 612 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 19: Now. 613 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 16: I love AWG. I've talked about them on the show 614 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 16: before that she makes a phenomenal gluten free bread that's 615 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 16: actually it is the only gluten free bread that I 616 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 16: will eat. Every All of them I think are the 617 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,959 Speaker 16: nasty carbs. But yeah, so that doesn't count as carbs. 618 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 16: So and then I had this woman, Sue Becker, who 619 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 16: was wildly popular, saying it's not gluten nobody has to 620 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 16: be gluten free. You have to mill your own flour, right, 621 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 16: And I don't disagree with that. Okay, So you think 622 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 16: that there could be truth to that. 623 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 17: I think there could be truth to that for people 624 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 17: that are intolerant and people that aren't trying to be 625 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 17: in a healing phase. So there's a difference between like 626 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 17: being in a healing phase and being all in on 627 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 17: your choices with your food and maintaining. So if you 628 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 17: were to get because are you Hashi motos, yeah, okay, 629 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 17: So if you were to get that in remission, then 630 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 17: I would say that you could totally have it, and 631 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 17: I would even say that you could have long fermented 632 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 17: sour though that's the trend that icy in my own community. 633 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 17: At least eating within the hour of waking up, always 634 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 17: regulating your blood, sugar bite, all three macros together, eating 635 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 17: every four hours. Again, women still cycling postmenopause can get 636 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 17: away with five hours, so it's going to be three 637 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 17: to four meals a day for most women. Keeping meal 638 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 17: size is consistent. This is one thing I don't see. 639 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 17: The only exception if you're going all in on iervidic 640 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 17: and your Dosha body type is some of us need 641 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 17: a way bulkier lunch than any other meal, which is 642 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 17: ironic because we're told to bulk the breakfast. But I've 643 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 17: noticed a huge shift in my afternoon energy by bulking 644 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 17: the lunch. And when I say bulking, I mean like 645 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 17: one hundred calories extra. So keeping meal size is consistent, 646 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 17: no small snacks. Eating five different colors a day. Having 647 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 17: the different colors fills your gut with a diverse microbiome, 648 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 17: but also different antioxidants and different phytonutrients. Each different color 649 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 17: has its own set of nutrients that it's offering, So 650 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 17: eating the different colors of the rainbow makes a big 651 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 17: difference for anti aging, for energy, for gut diversity and 652 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 17: all these amazing things. 653 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 16: Okay, So on that kind of a weird question that 654 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 16: just popped into my head. Would sometimes it be good 655 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 16: to opt for the purple potatoes rather than the yellow potatoes. 656 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 18: So that really does make a difference. It does make 657 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 18: a difference. 658 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 17: And the other fun thing about potatoes and like apples, 659 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 17: is the flesh and the. 660 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 18: Flesh and the skin both count as the skin the 661 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 18: corpse all in flesh and skin. Okay, it's two different colors. 662 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,479 Speaker 17: If they are two different colors, don't go eating your 663 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 17: banana peels, okay. 664 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 16: And then also, this is interesting to me that you 665 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 16: said about the a thumb size of fat with every meal. 666 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 16: So to me, I'm like, oh my gosh, I have 667 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 16: to eat like a whole avocado to get my fat. 668 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 16: But you're saying it's it was double Your fat is 669 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 16: double and neutreat and density or something like that. 670 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 18: Okay. 671 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 16: So then for a meal, if I just cook the 672 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 16: protein and beef tallow, does that count. 673 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 13: For fat or no? 674 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 18: Yes, it does count for fat, okay. 675 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 17: And it's like, again, it's not a hard fast rule, 676 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 17: but I do feel like it helps for people to 677 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 17: have a visual of what their plate is supposed to 678 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 17: look like. Yes, so they're not measuring their food, they're 679 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 17: not counting, they're not obsessing over it. 680 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 18: It's more intuitive. 681 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 13: Okay. 682 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 16: So literally, I don't know anything about fat. 683 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 18: It is butter, Yeah, butter. 684 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 4: Okay, so butter, beef towel. 685 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 18: I'll cut of what else?

And then 696 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 17: sprinkle it with some hemp seeds or sesame seeds or 697 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 17: even cashoes, crumbled up cashews. That's another way to get 698 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 17: in your fat. I know some people don't necessarily cook 699 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 17: with their fat. Because they'd rather add it and have 700 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 17: a little bit more control over it. I'm not that 701 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 17: obsessive when it comes to like the ranges. I just 702 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 17: know that for a fact that if we don't combine 703 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 17: our carbs with our fats and our protein every single 704 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 17: time we eat, we're gonna be dealing with an irregular 705 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 17: blood sugar. And when it comes to our bodies, the 706 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 17: key to maintaining. 707 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 18: Metabolic health is blood sugar. 708 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 17: And it's mind blowing that God gave us these bodies 709 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 17: with no guide, and this is such a vital. 710 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 18: Way to live.

Eating carbs by themselves, and an 715 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 17: unstable blood sugar leads to metabolic dysfunction majorly, but minorly, 716 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 17: it leads to mood swings, it leads to hormone issues, 717 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 17: it leads to heightened emotions, it leads to stored fat. 718 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 18: It has to be to low energy. 719 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 8: Got to admire what you've been able to do, not 720 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 8: to weaponize, but to organize on these college campuses. 721 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 9: At turning point, USA.

There was a live. 767 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 2: Event going on. 768 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: It kind of overlapped our show, and that's totally fine, 769 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:21,919 Speaker 1: that happens, it's TV. 770 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? 771 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 1: But there were several videos that I think we aired 772 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: there that I really really wanted to make sure we 773 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: got on and so I want to play them for 774 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 1: you today. And if you've seen them twice, you've seen 775 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: them on social media. Sorry, but it's just they were 776 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: too good to pass up. This first clip is of 777 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: a it looks like a brother and a sister talking 778 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: about real life things in terms of men and women. 779 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 1: And I can't tell what's going on here. I'm completely 780 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: honest with you. I'm not sure if he's joking, or 781 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: if she is really like, oh, this whole thing doesn't 782 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: make sense, or if he doesn't know that she's at 783 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: it's a whole kind of concluded thing. I don't entirely 784 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: know how to take it in. All that I know 785 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 1: is that it's great that this has happened. I watched this. 786 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 20: Should men and women both be drafted in the war. 787 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,280 Speaker 20: If there's a World War three that happens. I guess 788 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 20: you think both should be drafted. 789 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 9: Draft It means like you have. 790 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: To I know, I know what drafted is. 791 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 20: Oh okay, I mean like equality. I guess so, so 792 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 20: you think they should just drop off a form at 793 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 20: everybody's store and be like, if your kid's over eighteen, 794 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 20: they have to go to war. 795 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: Good wanted this though? 796 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 12: Who did the women? 797 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 9: No thing didn't want it. 798 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 21: Equal rights. If somebody can vote, they can vote. 799 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 18: If someone goes to war, which is hard, someone. 800 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,720 Speaker 1: Goes for but men are bigger. 801 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 20: So then they're like, like, so now you're mean sexist? 802 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 13: What No, in. 803 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 4: Theory, you're right, but no. 804 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 20: Theory, it could also be wrong. 805 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: You're a sexist girl. Okay, summ right in rewatching it, 806 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: I think think what's actually happening is both of them, thankfully, 807 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: are stumbling their way into the reality that the whole 808 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: woke ideology is just ridiculous. He is going, hold on, 809 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: hold on, no, no, no, all of these people at 810 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: my school, and unfortunately keeps telling me that everybody is 811 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: exactly the same. There's no difference between men and women. 812 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: Anything that a man can do a woman can do, 813 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: and anything a woman can do, a man can do, 814 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: including give birth. So yeah, you should go to war 815 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: and get drafted. And I think she is realizing this 816 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: looks like his sister going, no, whoa hold on, we 817 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: want to you know, all the same thing. But except 818 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: for that, I don't want to do that because well 819 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: that if I'm smaller than men. And regardless of if 820 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 1: either of them are joking or serious, again, I can't 821 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 1: really tell. I think the main point is that they're 822 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: both finding their way to reality, which isn't that what 823 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: conservatism is the acknowledgment that it reality exists and trying 824 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: to maneuver policy and lifestyle and culture in a way 825 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 1: that fits into what already exists in reality and in 826 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: human nature. And you kind of find that out by 827 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: going through life, and you kind of figure that out organically. 828 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: If you just questioned the mantras of the lives. 829 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,800 Speaker 2: Men and women are exactly the same. There's no physical differences. 830 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 2: A man can be a woman, abortion isn't murder. All 831 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,280 Speaker 2: of these things that they say. 832 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,800 Speaker 1: The more that you puzzle through them, the more that 833 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: you start to realize, holy cow, none of it actually 834 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 1: makes any sense. I gotta get to this next clip. 835 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry for having to make you listen to forty 836 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: seconds of Jasmine Crockett, but watch till the very end. 837 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Congresswoman Crockett forgot this lady's name. Just 838 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,399 Speaker 1: just watch it. I want to know if you agree 839 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: with me. 840 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 2: Check it out. 841 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 19: I am Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, but I am standing 842 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,280 Speaker 19: here with one of my things. 843 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, listen and guess what. 844 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 19: Neither one of us are in Texas. You know why, 845 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 19: because we know that it is time to stand up, 846 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 19: rise up, and fight back against these fools that think 847 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 19: that we're weak. 848 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 11: One thing that they. 849 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 19: Should know when it comes to a black woman and 850 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 19: a Latina, that's right, they are about to get a 851 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 19: little spice, okay, And that's exactly what they got. So 852 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 19: right now, we are fighting for our rights in this country. 853 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 19: We are fighting for democracy, and I just want you 854 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 19: all to know that I'm standing ten toes down with 855 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 19: my homie be representative from the great state of Texas. 856 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 7: That's right. 857 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: Yes, I think she clearly forgot that woman's name, and 858 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: I don't blame her for having. 859 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 2: To take the video. You kind of in these situations. 860 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 1: You kind of you talk about different things with different people, 861 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: and some people are lying, some people aren't. I understand 862 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: all of that, but clearly that was the situation that 863 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,280 Speaker 1: happened there. And in the process of doing this video, 864 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: poor old Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett just completely forgot that lady's name. 865 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,359 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, I don't know her name either. 866 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 1: This is it doesn't matter, and that's you know, that's that. 867 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: But that's going to do it for us here at 868 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: turning point tonight.

Here are you 875 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 4: hearing around a Bible? 876 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 21: That's my Bible in one year from our daily readings, 877 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 21: and I thought it was very apposite that today we've 878 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,399 Speaker 21: transitioned out of Acts and into Romans one because on 879 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 21: our previous conversation, which was in Milwaukee the RNC, you 880 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 21: said to me that Romans is the Christian constitution. This 881 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 21: is from my friend Jay John. 882 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 4: I like it. 883 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,479 Speaker 21: It's old and New Testament. It's very easy to carry 884 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 21: around and read. These are just some of my notes 885 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:51,760 Speaker 21: in preparation for the interview. 886 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 13: Note one insure. 887 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 21: Guantanamo gator present in front row. 888 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 13: This will distract Charlie. 889 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 21: No, there's just like lot of actually notes about Rome 890 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 21: itself and Caravagia and stuff like that. So, yeah, I 891 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 21: carry two Bibles, which recognize it's quite cumbersome. But I've 892 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,760 Speaker 21: not been Christian very long, so what do you expect? 893 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,879 Speaker 9: And so, Russell, you have a phenomenal story, and thank 894 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 9: you for taking time to travel to this conference. 895 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 4: It's terrific. 896 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 13: Thanks for paying me to come. 897 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 9: Yeah, no, absolutely, well, thank you for gladly accepting. So 898 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 9: you were in public eye. You still are in a 899 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 9: non Christian lifestyle, is that fair to say? 900 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 13: Almost anti Christian in some ways. 901 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,959 Speaker 9: Walk us through the journey as you're comfortable sharing from 902 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 9: that lifestyle to now giving your life to Jesus Christ. 903 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 21: Well, you know, in a sense, we have no choice 904 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 21: but to worship something. And my devoutness and devotion was 905 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 21: effortlessly directed by the culture and by my conditions I 906 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 21: mean familial and psychological as well as social towards worship 907 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 21: and reverence of the individual, which I see as being 908 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 21: the nexus of false idolatry. Really, as long as you're 909 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 21: trapped in self worshiping yourself, aspects of yourself, self aggrandizement, 910 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 21: pursuit of personal glory, you're very easily contained by the culture. 911 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 21: In a sense, I've started to recognize that the culture 912 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 21: once it's in a state of self centered bewilderment. When 913 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 21: you're in that state, you're very easy to manage and manipulate. 914 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 21: I really thought that I was autonomous and had a 915 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 21: great deal of personal authority. In fact, I would have 916 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 21: believed in the kind of rags to riches idea that 917 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 21: I come from a pretty modest background and through success 918 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 21: and endeavor and hard work, and through personal excellence and 919 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 21: nobility and charm moxy, call it what you will, I 920 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 21: fought against the odds to become a Hollywood star and 921 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 21: marry Katie Perry and beyond red carpets all over the 922 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 21: place for a brief while I lived with the guantanamogator. 923 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 13: It was a complicated era. 924 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 21: That's how I would have characterized it, Charlie, as I 925 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 21: loved that one, yeah, and I kept it quite as embarrassed. 926 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 21: I would have characterized it as a sort of a 927 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 21: story of personal success, and I didn't. 928 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 13: This is how I came to realize this. I was 929 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 13: looking at the work of u. 930 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 21: Val know Harari, the writer of Sapiens, which I've found 931 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 21: perfectly enjoyable, till it became clear to me it was 932 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 21: an atheistic trope that was geared towards directing people towards 933 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 21: surrender and subjugation, towards ai force idol. 934 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 4: That's what it was. 935 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 13: It was, wasn't it. And I thought, Oh, the reason 936 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,240 Speaker 13: this guy is such. 937 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 21: Popular and accredited intellectual is because his message and agenda 938 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 21: fits very neatly into the agenda of powerful elites who 939 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 21: determine which cultural artifacts get celebrated and popularized. I didn't 940 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,839 Speaker 21: realize that at first, and then afore, I wonder if 941 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,280 Speaker 21: you were that. I wonder if there was something about 942 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 21: your success, Russell, that was telling the culture a story 943 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,359 Speaker 21: that he wanted to hear. And then I thought about 944 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 21: it for a while, because it is, after all, my 945 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 21: favorite subject me. And while I was thinking about that, 946 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 21: fort oh, yeah, it was my personal hedonism and my 947 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 21: sense of myself as self actualizing through excess. 948 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 13: That's a story the culture likes to tell itself. 949 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,280 Speaker 21: So really, you were just the useful sort of vessel 950 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 21: or expression of a particular set of cultural ideas. I 951 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 21: came to Christ the way that some people do who 952 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 21: don't have the benefit of Christianity in early life, although 953 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 21: it happened obviously at the perfect time, through a variety 954 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 21: of collapses in my private and public life, sort of 955 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 21: a personal difficulty with the birth of my son, who's 956 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 21: beautiful and incredible and in doing very well, but certainly 957 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 21: was a crisis in our family for a minute, and 958 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 21: through false allegations of sexual misconduct, which gave me great 959 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 21: pause for reflection on the way that I'd lived for 960 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 21: a lot of time and the impact of that lifestyle. 961 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 21: And I suppose in the midst of all that confusion, 962 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 21: the clarity of Christ came in a way that's still 963 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 21: difficult to describe. But most recently I felt Charlie when 964 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 21: reading I was looking at Acts. 965 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:52,959 Speaker 13: And it talked about the meeting of Paul and Peter. 966 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 21: So I went to check it in Galatians, the same encounter, 967 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 21: and I thought, in that encounter between Paul and Peter, 968 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 21: you've got someone who knew Christ. While alone, I even 969 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 21: met the resurrected Christ as well as Paul who has 970 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 21: this profound. 971 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 13: Incredible vision re encounter with him thought. 972 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 21: And I had that kind of visceral wave of the 973 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 21: reality and truth of the historical Christ, not just the 974 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 21: mythic Christ that we need to use as a sort 975 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,760 Speaker 21: of an inner constellation for personal guidance. 976 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,320 Speaker 13: But oh my god, it actually happened. It actually happened. 977 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 21: And when I feel that, it brings me out of 978 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,400 Speaker 21: the hum drum, it brings me out of the central 979 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 21: and it puts me in the supernatural, where I believe 980 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,839 Speaker 21: we must to some degree live in. 981 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 13: The world, not of yes. 982 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,880 Speaker 9: And so I'm sure you tried Buddhism or do you 983 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,720 Speaker 9: experiment with Easter and stuff? What made Christianity different? 984 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 21: The reason I was repulsed by Christianity initially was because 985 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,719 Speaker 21: I felt like, this is the religion of like, you know, 986 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 21: like any ordinary American or my grandmother or my wife 987 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 21: is accessible to everyone. I must have something a little 988 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 21: more esoteric, a little rarer, a little more hard or gnostic, 989 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 21: a little more gnostic and a little less conformist. I 990 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 21: felt that, you know, Christianity and maybe institute. An argument 991 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:05,839 Speaker 21: that could be had about whether institutional Christianity is used 992 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 21: as a kind of Panacea to prevent people being the 993 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 21: radical revolutionaries that I believe Our Lord would have us be. 994 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 21: And I when I like with things like Buddhism and Sufism, 995 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,440 Speaker 21: not then claiming to have had a deep understanding of 996 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 21: these faiths, just an autodidactic perusal of the books of 997 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 21: Sufiism and Hinduism and Buddhism and philosophy, although there were many, 998 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 21: many truths that were discovered in them texts at the 999 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 21: center of those truths, Charlie, there I was still trapped 1000 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 21: in self. When I surrendered kind of voluntarily yet exhausted 1001 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,839 Speaker 21: to the man Christ, the flesh Christ, I realized, Ah, I. 1002 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,240 Speaker 13: Wanted to be Jesus. 1003 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 21: I wanted to be the center, the Son of God, 1004 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 21: the apex that yet I can't do miracles. I'm not 1005 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,479 Speaker 21: willing to be crucified now, since it's surrendering to Him, 1006 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 21: accepting Him, bowing at the foot of his cross on 1007 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 21: my knee, shoulder shoulder with any one. 1008 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,799 Speaker 13: Of you that accepts Jesus alongside me. 1009 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,360 Speaker 21: I feel relieved, I feel unburdened, I feel empowered, And 1010 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 21: I realized that the person that I used to be 1011 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,239 Speaker 21: was not an error or a mistake. But part of 1012 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 21: the unfolding way, as the early Christians called it.
