1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 2: Today we have the newest member of the Clay and 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 2: Buck podcast network with us, Ryan Gerdowski, and he hosts 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 2: a weekly podcast called a Numbers Game. He is a 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: political commentator who authored the book They're not listening How 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 2: the Elites created the National Populist Revolution. And they're not 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 2: listening Ryan, I mean, we're watching this just this week. 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: How insane it was to see what they did at 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: the congressional address that the president had. I want to 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: call it the State of the Union. It's not a 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: state of the Union. He came and he addressed Congress 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 2: and they were ridiculous. 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 3: That was the most raucous thing I've ever seen. But 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 3: also the fact is, like, look at the conversation about 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 3: Europe and Ukraine in the last couple of weeks. There 16 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 3: are serious commentators, serious people who spend their whole entire 17 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 3: lives hating Trump, who are foreign policy analysts. We're sitting 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 3: there and saying Germany and Italy and France and Japan 19 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 3: they could be the new leaders of Western liberalism. And 20 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: you want to be like, how delusional are you? Like 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 3: where is your brain going? Because none of these countries 22 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: won have enough young men have a military the size 23 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 3: of America. None of them have enough young men to 24 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 3: create a military the size of America. And the whole 25 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: world is propped up, the whole neoliberal global project is 26 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: propped up on American welfare state, American USAD, American trade policy, 27 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 3: the American navy, keeping the keeping the seaways clear and 28 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 3: an empty or a safe for other All this is 29 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 3: depending on America. The whole world is an American welfare state. 30 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 3: And so the idea that Germany is going to sit 31 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 3: there in and do it Germany, I mean with who 32 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: all their Turkish migrants, that's who's going to sit there 33 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 3: and be the you know, the German military defend the 34 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: Ukrainian borders. It is delusional on like such a level. 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: Well, in Italy has a huge population problem. I mean 36 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: you talk about nine having enough young men. They actually 37 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: it's interesting because they did universal basic income in Italy. 38 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: It was a complete disaster. 39 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: It turns out that if you give people money for 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: not working, and they it was a situation where I 41 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: think it was you had to stay in your parents' 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 2: house until you were. 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: Thirty, So all of these people didn't work. 44 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: They got universal basic income they stayed at their in 45 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: their parents' house until they were thirty, didn't date, didn't 46 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: get married, and then in their forties finally got married 47 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 2: and couldn't end up having kids. So now they have 48 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: a huge population problem because it turns out giving away 49 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 2: money doesn't actually work. It doesn't make good good stewards 50 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: of money, and it doesn't make good members of society. 51 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: So you're exactly right that that was never going to happen. 52 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: But I find it fascinating that we went through probably 53 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 2: like you know, several days of the mainstream media being 54 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 2: like he has destroyed the situation with Ukraine and Russia. 55 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: He embarrassed Zelenski, he bullied him, he's a friend of Putin's. 56 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: And then I think it's like so true for him 57 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: to stand up in front of that room. Just read 58 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: the letter from Zelenski that's like, hey man, I'm going 59 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: to come to the table, I'm ready to make a deal. 60 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: Doesn't say sorry but everything but sorry for being in 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: total dick in the White House, and Trump just reads it. 62 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: He doesn't say like I told you so anything, Hey 63 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: I got hey, I got this letter. 64 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: I'm like, he is so perfect at the way he 65 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: manages the show of all of it, because he is. 66 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: The only person in the room who sometimes remembers we 67 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: are the United States of America. We are the indispensable 68 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 3: global nation. There is no plan be out there, like 69 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 3: who are they going They're going to turn to, you know, France. 70 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 3: I mean the joke writes itself to run its own military. 71 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: So I mean this is there was no other way 72 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: around it. And I think the situation Ukraine is so 73 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: important because this is something that Vice President Vance talks 74 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: about a lot. And I used to work with Vice 75 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 3: President of Van so like he's very thoughtful in this manner. 76 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: But they are losing so many people in this world. 77 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 3: What is the point of having Ukrainian borders Without Ukrainian people, 78 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 3: there will be no people left. I mean, it is 79 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: a crisis situation like you cannot imagine. It's going to 80 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 3: be the biggest global downfall of a human population, the 81 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: global demographic winter, the biggest immigraphic winter in Western history 82 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: since World War Two in one country. They won't be 83 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 3: able to sussiting that they'd have to literally triple or 84 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: quadruple the birth rate in an immediate period of time 85 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: in order for that to sit there and make up 86 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: for their losses. It's just not going to happen. And 87 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 3: I think that that's a big question worth saying. What 88 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 3: is the point of borders without people? 89 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: But that is what is surprising to me about this 90 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: crazy liberal side that has just recently changed. It used 91 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: to be that the radical left was all about saving 92 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 2: lives and everybody had to be have a great quality 93 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: of life, and we had to come in if you 94 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: didn't have a good quality of life and give that 95 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: to you and make sure everything was fair in all 96 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: of this. 97 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: But why would you want to extend this war? 98 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 2: Where has the narrative gone off the rails that they 99 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: think that if you stop the war right now that 100 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: you are on the side of Putin, he wants to 101 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: stop the death. I mean, to your point, what do 102 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 2: you do if you run out of people? 103 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 3: No, it's true. I mean they ask the French for 104 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 3: allegians that they're in step in. No. But the thing 105 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: is is that they want this war to continue because 106 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: they still think Pudin made Hillary lose the election. That's 107 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 3: what it comes down to. It comes down to the 108 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: fact that they still believe Hillary would have won had 109 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 3: it not been for Pudin and Pudin has created this 110 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: entire They dislike Putin. Think about this. They dislike Putin 111 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: more than they disliked the Chinese Communist Party who created COVID, Yes, 112 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: and they didn't like and they dislike you know, Trump 113 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 3: more than they dislike Putin. So this is really where 114 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 3: the mind roten moves and they can't accurately allocate blame. 115 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 3: And the biggest problem of the last twenty five years 116 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: of global form policy is that one we've failed to 117 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 3: sit there and stop throwing Russia in with the Soviet 118 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: Union because they are not the same thing. But America 119 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: has never fought able with Russia. And secondly, right after 120 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 3: the Cold War ended, America's foreign policy was to isolate 121 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: Russia and embrace China and bring China into the global community. 122 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 3: And that caused mass devastation. It has caused a mass 123 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: de industrialization across the West. We are very dependent on 124 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: not only in America but in Western Europe, and they 125 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: are a lot less like us culturally than the Russians are. 126 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,119 Speaker 3: And that was a big, big, big mistake. And now 127 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 3: twenty five years in thirty years in how do you 128 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 3: recalibrate in any which way possible? I think isolating Putin 129 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 3: has clearly not worked in the long term, and Europe 130 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 3: is dependent on their cheap oil. It is much much better, 131 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 3: so is China. I think much much harder going forward 132 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 3: of how do you create a situation, wells one, a 133 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: post Putin situation, because Putin is not going to live forever. 134 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 3: How do you look into the future and sit there 135 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: and say we can no longer isolate Russia the same way, 136 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 3: and we cannot let China be the world's manufacturer as 137 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 3: it continue looks towards Taiwan, as it looks towards taking 138 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 3: our vital chip factories and our viral chip manufacturers over 139 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: in Taiwan. This is a very very serious issue, and 140 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: I think someone has to look forwards instead of backwards 141 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: at both the twenty sixteen election and the former USSR 142 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 3: and say, how do we have a new world with 143 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: Russia post Putin? Because that's going to happen in the 144 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: near future. 145 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 2: And I think that the propaganda arm of the media 146 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: has stopped people from being willing to see the fact 147 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: that you have to have a relationship like this idea 148 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: that presidents don't have a relationship. I mean Obama had 149 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: a relationship you've heard that there's been a video recently 150 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: going around about Bill Clinton talking about his relig relationship 151 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: with President Putin and the discussions that they used to have. 152 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: That has to be there. 153 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: However, if there's any discussion of this now, this is 154 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: suddenly all of the young people get completely riled up. 155 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: And I think if you. 156 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: Just look at that speech from the other night and 157 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: how they acted, the behavior, the shenanigans, and I believe that. 158 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: I mean, there was rumor ahead of time that the 159 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: Democrats were told, no shenanigans, it's not going to help 160 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: us right now. 161 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: The guy just. 162 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: Won the popular vote, he just won the electoral college 163 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 2: like he won with a mandate. And if you come 164 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: in there and you have all these shenanigans, this is 165 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: going to be very embarrassing for the Democrat Party. 166 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: But they just can't help themselves. 167 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: I say that this is the party of I mean, 168 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 2: you've got the geriatric cane Waivers and the mean girls. 169 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: And that was like. 170 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 3: There was so at one point, I said, how many 171 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 3: knes are there? And I don't know how old some 172 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 3: of these people are, but they're so old that their 173 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 3: teeth don't fit anymore. So it's like move in their 174 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 3: mouths where their mouths are shut. It is so strange 175 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 3: to look at. And the thing is is like those 176 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: are the last sensible. I mean, Al Green's a little 177 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 3: wild one, but like if you look at like the 178 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 3: eighty year old Democrats and late seventy year old Democrats 179 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 3: and no shame on age, it's an honor to get 180 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: to age. But they are in office for a little 181 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 3: too long. But if but if you look at those Democrats, 182 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 3: they are far more sensible than the ones coming up 183 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 3: behind them. Yes, you know Jasmine Crockett sitting they're in 184 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 3: doing TikTok dances with aoc like as they're cooking. It's 185 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: very very strange. There's like a lot of noise going on, 186 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 3: and for some reason they keep on saying, Hey, let's 187 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 3: find a you know, a suburban woman who doesn't blink 188 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 3: and make her our spokesperson. And that's like their solution 189 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 3: to like the communication problem. At least the senator from 190 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: Michigan I thought, actually a fairly decent job at the response. 191 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 3: But then they had a response to the response and 192 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 3: she was crazy. And then they all took their own 193 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 3: turns I think to this morning giving their response to 194 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 3: the City of Union, and it was just like, Wow, 195 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 3: you guys need to like take a breath and take 196 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 3: a beat and actually have a concise message, because there 197 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: is a message for them to sit there and have 198 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: on a number of things. But they've kind of like 199 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 3: lost the game. They've lost the narrative. Anyone who doesn't 200 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: think the last election that Trump had wasn't a huge victory. 201 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 3: I mean, they're really desperately trying hard to cling on 202 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: to some narrative that that just doesn't work anymore. 203 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: We've got more coming up on the Tutor Dixon Podcast, 204 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: but first I want to tell you about one of 205 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 2: my newest partners.

Now stick around. 225 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 2: We'll be right back after this. Part of the problem 226 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: is they are used to this attack politics. They are 227 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: that the last four years of Joe Biden was very nasty. 228 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: He would come out and his speech is his last 229 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: State of the Union. There were times when he was 230 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: holding up his hands and yelling and he would talk 231 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: about Trump endlessly, even though Trump wasn't in office. He 232 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: just couldn't let it go. And that was for the 233 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: last four years. So I really believe, I mean, I've 234 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 2: thought a lot about the way they acted because that 235 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: speech that we saw on Tuesday night was the President 236 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: coming out and saying, look, this is the display of 237 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: Americans that you have heard about for the past four 238 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: years or at least the past two years of us 239 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 2: running for office. And that moved people to say this 240 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 2: country needs a change. It was the personal stories. They 241 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: weren't props, they weren't campaign propaganda. These were true Americans 242 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: with true American stories. And he didn't come out and 243 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 2: bashed the other side. He came out and he said 244 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: these are the stories, this is the follow up on 245 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: those stories, and this is how we're going to thank 246 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 2: these people. And I think the Democrats were so used 247 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: to hearing Joe Biden come out and go the other 248 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: side is bad and this and that and we've got 249 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 2: a save democracy that they walked in there thinking this 250 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: was going to be a similar rhetoric. 251 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,599 Speaker 1: But it wasn't. It was a very posa. It was 252 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: really unifying, and they look like fools. 253 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 3: Well, I also think, I mean, if you listen to 254 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: like Liberal Conversations Progressive podcast as progressive people, they I mean, 255 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 3: they will say things like we are literally in a 256 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 3: civil war. Nicole Wallace followed up the state of the 257 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: you want to say the Union but the Joint Session 258 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 3: of Congress was saying, I hope this, you know, thirteen 259 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 3: year old cancer patient doesn't kill himself after being assaulted 260 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: by a Trump supporter. Like they are genuinely off of 261 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 3: their rocker. Like it's and it's not every Democrat. It's 262 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: just the spokespeople and these podcast hosts and these Twitter 263 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 3: followers or these Twitch streamers who have these you know, 264 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: not immense followings. It's not one hundred million people, but 265 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 3: it's enough to sustain like the talk economy, the economy 266 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: of people who wanted to have conversations that make a 267 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 3: living with advertisers with it. You know, they are genuinely 268 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 3: out of their minds. I watched, like two days after 269 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 3: the election, I watched Mary L. Trump's podcast to see 270 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 3: what she's an election day, and they were literally sob 271 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: out loud and like having nervous breakdown. It's the greatest 272 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, you want to laugh for three straight hours. 273 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 3: Like they're like before the beginning, they're like, we're gonna 274 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 3: win Florida. I mean, it's. 275 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: Delusional, but right, right, yeah, but they. 276 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 3: They're at that they were at that level. They were 277 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 3: at that level for so long and It's kind of 278 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 3: like imagine like a rabbi in ancient Judea who all 279 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 3: of a sudden sees Christ rise from the dead, and 280 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: they have to sit there and say, Okay, am I 281 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 3: gonna convert? Or am I gonna and give up everything 282 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: I believed in? Or am I gonna just stick to 283 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 3: my old ways? And a lot of them were having 284 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 3: a literal come to Jesus moment of saying, oh man, 285 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: you mean cutting off a girl's breast at thirteen is 286 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: not a popular idea. How do I deal with that? 287 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 3: Because that's what I've been feeding my twenty five thousand, 288 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: thirty thousand fans who pay my bills every single solitary day. 289 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 3: How do I not be this crazy? And they genuinely 290 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 3: cannot and they are just, you know, the loudest men 291 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: in the ear. And that's why I think you're seeing 292 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 3: some politicians. I just today, Gavin Knewsome, I was like, 293 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: I don't think boys should be in girls' sports. I'm like, 294 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 3: you were attacking Tennessee for banning that just a month 295 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 3: and a half ago. 296 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: So I've taken children away from parents who refuse to 297 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 2: allow surgery. 298 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: So you don't get it. You don't get a vote here. 299 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 3: Right exactly. And I think that's them sitting there and 300 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 3: saying how do I, how do I kind of backpedal 301 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: now because I was so high on my own supply 302 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 3: for a walk. 303 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: But this is where Republicans cannot seed ground because I 304 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: watched some of that interview with Charlie Kirk and I 305 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: saw and look, I come from a sales background. I 306 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 2: saw exactly what Gavin Newsom was doing. My son loves you, 307 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: he wants he wouldn't even go to school today. 308 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: You are the one making a difference. 309 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: And Charlie says, no, I've got to give the credit 310 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: to Donald Trump. No, Charlie, this was a movement you 311 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: started well before Donald Trump. And he's smiling. You look 312 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: at the body language. If you understand sales man, this 313 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: guy is laying it on thick and he's good at 314 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 2: it because he seems really genuine. He is the scariest 315 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: politician I believe out there because he can get you 316 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: on his side so quickly. 317 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: He's said he romances. 318 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: People, he seduces them with the most exactly that that 319 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: was there. 320 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: That was their mistake. 321 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: They've got a snake that is very hard to identify, 322 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: and they chose to go with the really. 323 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 3: Yeah yes from love Lucy. Yeah, I agree, And I 324 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 3: think that also the fact that here's the thing, but 325 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: the coold thing for on the Republican side is that 326 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 3: Democrats will no longer nominate white men to any national ticket. 327 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 3: It's got to be black or women from here on. 328 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: That's what you think. But they seem to like, I mean, look, 329 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: they they screwed. 330 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 2: Over everybody to put Joe Biden on, and so I'm 331 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 2: always cautious about that because I think that they they 332 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: say that, but then you end up with that guy 333 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: that seems like the historical politician. And I do think 334 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: that I think the party is slipping because you talk 335 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: about the people who are all the cane waivers, and 336 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 2: you've gotten Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi was the most depressing 337 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 2: character in that room the other night to me, because 338 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 2: here's a woman who, regardless of what side of the 339 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 2: aisle you're on, she had a lot of power and 340 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 2: she was a psycho about it. I mean, the stories 341 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 2: about Nancy Pelosi are hardcore, Like you walk into her 342 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: office and she pulls out your binder and she's like, 343 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 2: you're gonna do this because I've got this. You know, 344 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: she was a cutthroat, scary operator in Washington, probably one 345 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 2: of the most corrupt people. But there she is, looks 346 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 2: like she's chewing her cuds, sitting there in the like 347 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 2: you said, her teeth are all falling out. She's got 348 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 2: her cane. She's desperately trying to hang on to power. 349 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: But you don't even I mean, once in a person 350 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: her age breaks their hip, it's just not a good 351 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 2: it is. Really, the numbers are not good for you 352 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 2: to live past a year after you've broken your hip, 353 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 2: and that's just a medical fact. It's very sad. She 354 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 2: looks like she is on the track toward the grave 355 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 2: right now. She's in her eighties. She's what, she's eighty 356 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: five years old in a few days now. This is 357 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 2: a woman. 358 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,239 Speaker 1: Who should have stepped down. But this is also a 359 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: woman who when she had the opportunity, when AOC started 360 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: to catch on and the squad came in, and that 361 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: was the time for all of that psychotic power that 362 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: she had for her to crush that and say this 363 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: is not our party. And she screwed it up, and 364 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: now she won't let it go. 365 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 3: She did slap down a lot of the squad and 366 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 3: not enough. Well, I mean their numbers are lower. The 367 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 3: Jamal Bowman lost and she didn't do anything to lift 368 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 3: him up. The other girl from Corey Bush lost, she 369 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 3: didn't do anything to help her. She definitely recognizes the 370 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 3: problems of them being around. I mean they had a 371 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 3: conversation Ellin Omar after she said a nine to eleven 372 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 3: was a thing that happened, Like she's done, I think 373 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 3: enough to dance around it. But at a certain point, 374 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 3: the party moves past you. Yeah, and I think that 375 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 3: the party moved past or sometimes you are staying too 376 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 3: long at the fair, and I think maybe she stayed 377 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 3: a little long with her, but I mean to her 378 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 3: kind of credit though. I mean, look at the guy 379 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 3: who's Hakeem Jeffries. He's no Nancy Pelosi. No, he could 380 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 3: not whip people and to sit there and say, Okay, 381 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 3: you're gonna give up your houseie because you're gonna vote 382 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 3: for Obamacare whether you like it or not. He would 383 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 3: never be able to sit there and do that. He 384 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 3: doesn't inspire that kind of confidence. And I think that 385 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 3: the idea of what who represents the future of the 386 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 3: Democratic Party, you know, I don't know. Bernie Sanders, who's 387 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: like one hundred and seventy seven, is doing like a 388 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 3: road tour right now, so maybe that's like, maybe that's 389 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 3: just gonna be it for me right now, Like Bernie 390 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 3: will just keep living and just keep doing like his 391 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 3: whole thing every four eight years. Like I don't know, 392 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,239 Speaker 3: but I mean, he's the one I think out there 393 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 3: sitting there having a real conversation for Democrats where they're at. 394 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 3: I don't I mean, I don't really know. It's not 395 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 3: gonna be Gretchen Wiltman Whitmer who's gotten botox like the 396 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 3: m degree that she's gonna pop. It's not gonna be 397 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom. It's not gonna be Josh bar they hate Jews. 398 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 3: Maybe be Wes Moore. Did. They have a serious leadership 399 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 3: problem is who's going to be the face of the 400 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 3: party going forward, And a lot of people want it 401 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 3: to be just somebody who screams like, you know, imprison 402 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 3: every imprison Republicans. And they wanted to like Corey Bush 403 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 3: was probably too far to the right for them, and 404 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 3: they and they need a someone to be their leader 405 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 3: and they don't have it yet. And I mean, I 406 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 3: guess we'll see. But that's their big problem is they 407 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 3: don't have a leader or a solid message. 408 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 2: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 409 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 2: the Tutor Dixon podcast. 410 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: So that takes us too. 411 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: I wanted to bring up this the faith issue because 412 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 2: we had seen, we had seen the interest in faith 413 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 2: slowly every year kind of declining, declining Christianity in the 414 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 2: United States. Suddenly that's leveled off. That is a big deal, 415 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: and people go, it's just leveled off. No, there has 416 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 2: been a rise in young people seeking out a church, 417 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 2: seeking out a mass, trying to. 418 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: Figure out exactly what the purpose is. 419 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 2: And as you see, I think, I really think since 420 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty with the pandemic, people started to go, man, 421 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: there's got to be more here. But I think this 422 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 2: idea of what we've seen from Hollywood and that there 423 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: is nothing but what is right here in front of 424 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: you has led to a lot of lost souls and 425 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: that is changing. So what's your take on that? 426 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 3: So on? So I on my podcast The Numbers Game 427 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 3: on the klam Buck Network with you guys, I broke 428 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 3: down the Pew Research Study. The Pew Research Study had 429 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 3: a poll out that found that the number of Americans 430 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 3: identifying as Christian went was flat for the last almost 431 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 3: ten years, which is very unusual because it's been declining 432 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 3: year in the out and the three groups that are 433 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 3: responsible for that are boomers, Zoomers, and millennials. They've all chilled. 434 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 3: People born in the eighties, people born in the fifties 435 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 3: and sixties, and people born in the odds. In the 436 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 3: two thousands really saw about a five point shift towards 437 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 3: being identified as Christians, but especially among people born between 438 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 3: the year two thousand and two thousand and six. Now 439 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: they're praying slightly more than they used to, They're attending 440 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 3: church slightly more than you used to. They're actually ironically 441 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 3: much more attending church and praying more than people born 442 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 3: in the nineties. But they're identifying as Christian more or 443 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 3: less as a form of identity. As I said there, 444 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 3: and it's young men, primarily young men. It is the 445 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: only generation in history where men are more religious than women. 446 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: And I think that part of it is that they're 447 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 3: being culturally Christian, right. They are saying, like I am Christian, 448 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 3: therefore I'm maybe not woke, I am not you know, 449 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 3: like super liberal, I am not, you know, I am 450 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 3: not an ATHEISTU says there wants some of veganism all 451 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,479 Speaker 3: the time, like, I am not these things and therefore 452 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 3: I'm Christian. It doesn't mean they're necessarily attending church or 453 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 3: having or praying daily. But I think a lot of 454 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 3: times that comes along with children, like having kids, and 455 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 3: it starts when you start attending church regularly. But the 456 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 3: doors open to it to them being Christian. It's not 457 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 3: like it was for generalations where it was like, no, 458 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 3: I'm this is all you know, just spaghetti monster in 459 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 3: the sky kind of stuff, where that's where they were 460 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 3: sitting there saying, no, this is all nonsense. They're saying 461 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: there's something there, but they haven't formulated a direct relationship 462 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 3: with a singular church or going or practicing it daily. 463 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 3: But they're saying, I am culturally a Christian. This is 464 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 3: how I see myself in the greater context of the country. 465 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 2: So you believe that there is an opportunity for Christians 466 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 2: to kind of seek these people out and say, hey, 467 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 2: come join us. 468 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: Do how does that happen? 469 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 2: I think that politics has kind of pushed people that 470 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 2: way because I think that people, I mean, I even 471 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 2: think that people saw what happened with Donald Trump and 472 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 2: the assassination attempt, and went, how could that have happened? 473 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 2: I think there were some people at that point that said, 474 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: there's got to be something else. 475 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 3: Well, I think that just shows that you're all young. 476 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 3: I mean in the post in the post election now 477 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 3: is as everyone said, look at Barstool Sports, look at 478 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 3: Joe Rogan. This is how look at you know, Tim 479 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 3: Dillon or Andrew Schultz. This is why young men became conservative, 480 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 3: every Republican, especially like younger white men. And none of 481 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 3: those men are religious, none of those who are religious 482 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 3: at all. And I think that for every kind of 483 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: conversation about like those people that they were having with 484 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 3: the Joe Rogan's of the world, there is you know, 485 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 3: Ben Shapiro and the whole Daily Wire squad. They thought 486 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 3: of their religion and their multitudes of different kinds of 487 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 3: religions a lot. There's that Canadian writer whose name I 488 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 3: always forget it. He's not for me, but his wife 489 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 3: just converted to Catholicism. I think that she had a 490 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 3: like recent death scare and I'm blanking on his name, 491 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 3: of course is a big best the Ten Reasons of 492 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 3: Life or whatever. Guy, But there. There's a father, Mike Schmidtz. 493 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 3: He's a Catholic priest. He had one of the biggest 494 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 3: podcasts you know, in the country, which is like a 495 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 3: Bible in a year and Catechism in a year. There 496 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: are people on alternative media that you can go seek 497 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 3: out for reason, logic, truth and faith that are not 498 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 3: part of you know, the even like the Netflix shows 499 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 3: or the or the streamers or the other stuff streaming services, 500 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 3: or forget about basic cable or you know, the major platforms, 501 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 3: the major companies that sit there and make movies and 502 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 3: stuff like that. There are very few that are doing that. 503 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 3: There are more, there's like Angel films and stuff like 504 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 3: that now. But there are a lot of people on 505 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 3: the Internet who talk about faith, who talk about this, 506 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 3: that are reaching out and hearing, and young men are 507 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 3: hearing them. And they don't all just go to like 508 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 3: the Joe Rogan Barstool Sports, you know, comedian world. They 509 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 3: are literally looking for something real in this entire conversational politics, 510 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 3: in this conversation of what is to be an American. They're 511 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 3: looking for something authentic. And I think that that because 512 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 3: they are searching and they're just not writing it all 513 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 3: off they're not all as nihilistic as maybe, like you 514 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 3: know gen x as were they are sitting there that 515 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 3: that opens the opportunity to a future where once they 516 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 3: get married and they have kids, going to church to 517 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 3: be part of it, going to religious schooling for their 518 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 3: children to be part of it. Like those things are 519 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 3: all potential for the future. And it does doesn't have 520 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 3: to be this n word, you know, slope towards Gomora, 521 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 3: Like that doesn't have to be the future. 522 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think that that's what we are 523 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 2: hoping to see, and that's what we pray about regularly, 524 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 2: is for young people to come.
