1 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: Decent water pressure, hopefully coming to a shower near you, 2 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: hopefully it's your shower. And also, the House passed a 3 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: bill that would require people to prove they were eligible 4 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: to vote in order to be eligible to vote, which 5 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: seems reasonable. Will it get past the Senate? All that 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: more coming up on this episode of Turning Points Tonight. 7 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. Together, 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback, and 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: this is Turning Point tonight. And before we get to 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: any of that, and before we get to our panel, 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: there is a fascinating thing about big blue states like California. 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: It seems that all over the place, in cities up 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: and down the state of California, there is insanity happening. 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: This particular set of insanity comes from the city of Oakland, California, 15 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: where if you're the victim of a crime, there's a 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: good possibility that you'll have a worse punishment than the 17 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: actual criminal. If you're a business owner in the city 18 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: of Oakland, California, and somebody graffiti's your business, the city 19 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: has required that within ten days, you must have that 20 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: graffiti removed or you could face a fine up to 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: six hundred six thousand dollars, which is crazy, especially if 22 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: you look at Oakland and see how many I don't know, 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: encampment eye sores they have camped out under the overpasses, 24 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: the amount of people pooping on the streets because it's 25 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: basically a mini San Francisco. All of that is ridiculous 26 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: in its own right. But here's what is fascinating. Let's 27 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: just say somebody criminally vandalizes your store with graffiti. If 28 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: that person is caught, which the likelihood is not good, 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: and if the woke DA actually chooses to prosecute that 30 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: criminal vandalizer, well, on average, the maximum fine is not 31 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: six thousand dollars, it's a thousand bucks. In other words, 32 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: if you're the victim of the criminal vandalism graffiti, the 33 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: fine that you would have to pay for not taking 34 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: care of that out of your own pocket is five 35 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: hundred percent more than the actual criminal himself. Wow, seems 36 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: like an odd way to structure society. Here to talk 37 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: about that and so much more is preger you personality. 38 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: Alexis Wilkins and Brandon Strock is the founder of the 39 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: Walkaway campaign. Guys, thanks so much for joining us. 40 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for having so Alex. 41 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: I want to start with you, Uh, what kind of 42 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: precedent does this set especially? I know California is known 43 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: for just wild and wacky and crazy things, but in 44 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: this case, the fine for the victim is five hundred 45 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: percent more than the maximum fine for the criminal, and 46 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: that's assuming they actually get caught and prosecuted. 47 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 3: No, it's absolutely crazy. I think that this is just 48 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 3: emblemic of everything that California is already putting its citizens through. 49 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: It's almost the perfect example. We blame the victim more 50 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: than we blame the actual criminal, and California has been 51 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 3: just running them up for so long. Obviously, Gavin Newsom 52 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: has had no control over his state, and the control 53 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 3: he has had has been really just COVID restrictions and 54 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: all of the other craziness that California has enacted on 55 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: its actual, you know, tax paying citizens. But he's now saying, oh, 56 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 3: you know, Oakland's now saying, oh, you know, we're going 57 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: to make it your problem, our crime that we couldn't fix, 58 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 3: our crime that we couldn't clean up. Yeah, that's going 59 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: to be your problem now. And it's just it's so 60 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 3: emblemic of everything that goes on in California. I'm almost 61 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: glad that this is making national news so that people 62 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 3: can see this and hopefully not vote for policies that 63 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: thurner state blue because they moved these red states and 64 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: they turn them blue too. I'm sitting here in Tennessee 65 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 3: watching things like this begin to come down the pipeline 66 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: because the local governments are are starting to resemble the 67 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: people who have moved here. No shade California, in New 68 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: York and all the coasts, we love you, but please 69 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: don't vote for these policies because this is typical. You 70 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: blame the you blame the American citizen, the tax paying 71 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: business owner for the acts of the criminal. It's absolutely insane. 72 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: You know, we actually don't mind throwing a little bit 73 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: of shade at California and New York, and they're very 74 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: horrible policies. Brandon again kind of you know, same kind 75 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: of thing. What kind of message does this send to 76 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: criminals who would be graffitiing places in deep blue states 77 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,119 Speaker 1: and also too, knowing that your guy who travels around 78 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: is pretty well versed in red states and blue states, 79 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: does that same message get sent to people who might 80 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: do this sort of thing in Red States. 81 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 4: Okay, so yeah, let's start there, please, so jobob Okay, 82 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 4: First of all, let's acknowledge a few things. I used 83 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 4: to be a liberal. Everyone knows this, right, Like, I 84 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 4: walked away from the liberalism and the Democratic Party in 85 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 4: around twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. 86 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 5: I wanted to be well known. 87 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: And again, like I've traveled this great country of ours, 88 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 4: from coast to coast, many many times. 89 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 5: I normally do not believe in, you know. 90 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 4: Throwing certain geographical locations under the bus, because I you know, 91 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 4: there's something to be said for just about everywhere, with 92 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 4: the possible exception of the Bay Area, I have had. 93 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 4: I have had a hate affair with San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, 94 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 4: the whole Bay Area, Honest to God, even going back 95 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 4: to my liberal days, Like even as a staunch Obama 96 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 4: supporter Hillary Clinton supporter, I used to get so grossed 97 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 4: out anytime I would have to go visit any friends, 98 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 4: anybody in San Francisco. There's this really bizarre culture there 99 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 4: where they're incredibly proud of any form of depravity that 100 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: goes on in that city. They love the poop on 101 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 4: the street, they love the home, the more hopeless you are, 102 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 4: the better, the more absolutely like deranged and schizophrenic, that 103 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 4: you are chasing people down the street. 104 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 5: They love it. 105 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 4: They consider it to be their pride and enjoying the culture. Frankly, 106 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 4: I'm surprised that they're not erecting statues to people who 107 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 4: graffiti and deface the city because they seem to think 108 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 4: that this is, you know, something to be really really 109 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 4: proud of. So frankly, I find it a tiny bit 110 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 4: confusing that they aren't embracing the graffiti and embracing defacing 111 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 4: public property. I don't even really fully understand that, but 112 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 4: I agree completely with my co panelist statements. It's really 113 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 4: weird because you're basically penalizing the people who are the victims. 114 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 5: Of the crime. 115 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 4: And this has happened in many different ways, especially in California, 116 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 4: especially Northern California. You know, you go into these stores, 117 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 4: like you know, Walgreens, whatever, everything's under lock. 118 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 5: And key, because if you know, if thieves come. 119 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 4: Into your store and start stealing your property, you literally 120 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 4: just have to stand back and let it happen. And 121 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 4: if you try to apprehend these people, you're going to jail, 122 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 4: not the criminals. It's just another example of California being 123 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 4: completely backwards. 124 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it reminds me that Jason Elden songs try that 125 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: in a small town. Also brand and Struck leveling some 126 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: hate speech against the Bay Area. Love it, I hate you. 127 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: That's hate speech. Take it to the bank, love it. 128 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 5: I'm all about telling the truth. That's what I do. 129 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: There we go, speaking of things that well. Policy that 130 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: is actually popular amongst pretty much all Americans if you 131 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: look at the polling is this bill that just passed 132 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: the House, the Save Act, which would require people in 133 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: voting in federal elections to do this crazy thing called, 134 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: oh prove that they are eligible to vote in the elections. Now, 135 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: the House passed this finally saying hey, you need your 136 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: driver's license and a birth certificate or a US passport 137 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: and be able to vote. You need to be able 138 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: to be a show that you're a citizen in order 139 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: to vote. The problem is, well, it still has to 140 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: get through the Senate. Alexis, do you think there are 141 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: enough libs on the other side of the aisle to 142 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: get enough to peel off enough to get to that 143 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: sixty vote threshold to do something that I think pretty 144 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: much every American thinks is a sane idea. 145 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I think that this is just something that 146 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 3: we can strongly say Democrats don't want to protect our elections, 147 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 3: which seems like an obvious statement given the last I 148 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: don't know, four years, but it really is the last 149 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 3: and final straw. You know, they're doing everything they can 150 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: to avoid this Save Act. They don't want just American 151 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: citizens to vote, and that shows us two things. It 152 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 3: shows us that they want illegals and will encourage illegals 153 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: to vote in our American elections, and two that they 154 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 3: know they can't win without them. If you lose the people, 155 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: if you peel off the population that you are allowing 156 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: to run them up in this country and that you 157 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 3: are inviting in to you, you're promising them things, You're 158 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 3: giving them different benefits. You know, this is something that 159 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 3: we've seen as a problem in a lot of leftist administrations, 160 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 3: is that they start promising people who aren't citizens here 161 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 3: and come illegally, specifically illegally, they promise them all this stuff. 162 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 3: There are mngos, as we've seen with USAID, limping them 163 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: along the pathway to get into this country. Heck, they 164 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: even made an app to say, hey, if you're illegal, 165 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 3: please sign up and come into our country. I mean, 166 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 3: it's as easy as you know, ordering your groceries. It's 167 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: really ridiculous. And they're saying, hey, we want you here, 168 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: We want you to vote in our elections, because we 169 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 3: know that if we promise you something, it is a 170 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 3: transactional act, and you will go to the polls and 171 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: you will vote for us without sharing your ID, without 172 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 3: anything to prove. I mean, it's pretty basic that you 173 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 3: have an American election, you only have American citizens voting 174 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 3: in the election. I mean, it's pretty fundamental, right, and 175 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 3: so you know, I'm interested to see how this vote 176 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 3: ends up shaking out in the Senate. But I think 177 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 3: that the messaging that needs to get us across the 178 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: finish line is that you know, if you do not 179 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: vote for this, you do not want America to succeed. 180 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 3: You know, this is clearly something that's tearing apart the 181 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 3: fabric of the United States, and they're playing a media 182 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 3: game with it, of course. I mean I even saw 183 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: some propaganda today from the left saying that the Save 184 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 3: Act makes it so that married women cannot vote. I 185 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 3: would love for them to explain how they got there 186 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: In a reasonable sense. I mean, they try and explain 187 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 3: it and they say, oh, it's hard to prove that 188 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 3: your married last name isn't you know. They make it 189 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 3: this whole Oh, you need to show two forms of documentation. Look, 190 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: besides the fact that America would turn red if that 191 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 3: was the case, we won't go there. I'm just saying, 192 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 3: I'm not saying I'm just saying I'm all for the nineteenth, 193 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 3: But I'm just saying it's completely egregious that they would 194 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: try and peddle this as a last stitch effort. They 195 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 3: know this means the midterms for them. They know this 196 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: means elections coming up for the foreseeable future. 197 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Brandon, well, this reeks of and alexis kind of 198 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: hit on it is. It feels like belittling to a 199 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: sense that for some reason Democrats think, well, minorities, they're 200 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: just too stupid to get to voter id or to 201 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: get out an idea in order to be able to vote. 202 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: Can you kind of speak to the broader scope of 203 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: that of the left, kind of belittling the ideas of 204 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: the people that generally fall in line but aren't so 205 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: much anymore. 206 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 4: Right for sure, So we've seen this trend for years 207 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 4: now where the Democratic Party they're hanging on because of 208 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 4: suburban white women. I mean they're basically suburban white women 209 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 4: are like propping up the party completely at this point 210 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 4: because we've seen so many Hispanic people, black people walking 211 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 4: away waking up and realizing that they're being lied to 212 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 4: and exploited and manipulated by the Democrats. And for so long, 213 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 4: you know, the black community was always the community that 214 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 4: the political left and the Democrats treated as as basically. 215 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 5: And okay, I don't want to use the word I 216 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 5: want to use, but they. 217 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 4: Treated them like they're the stupidest people on the I 218 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 4: don't know to what degree we can go there on 219 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 4: your show, but they treated them like they're the stupidest 220 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 4: people on the face of the earth, and really infantilized 221 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 4: this community. And it's honest to god, I mean, if 222 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 4: it wasn't so offensive, it would be extremely humorous to 223 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 4: acknowledge that they're now treating suburban white women as more 224 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 4: stupid than they have thought that black people were this 225 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 4: entire time. Because now they're basically telling white women like, look, 226 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 4: if you're married, you're not going to be able to 227 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 4: vote because you know your last name is different than 228 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 4: it was when you're you're you know, it's the dumbest 229 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 4: thing on the face of the earth. But I do 230 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 4: think that the Democratic Party has never been more out 231 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 4: of touch with their base. Their pulling numbers have never 232 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 4: been lower. And when you look at what just happened 233 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 4: in Wisconsin, where overwhelmingly the people of Wisconsin voted for 234 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 4: voter ID, they want this to be enshrined into their law. 235 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 4: Even Democrat voters want this. But I think that their 236 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 4: base recognizes that if they're not able to fear monger 237 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 4: and propagandize and try to scare people into believing constantly 238 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 4: that the sky is falling, not to mention dividing people 239 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 4: along identity lines, they really don't have a party. So 240 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 4: I think the question becomes, even if their voting constituents 241 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 4: want voter ID laws, are the elected officials in DC 242 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 4: going to vote for what their constituents want or are 243 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 4: they going to vote against the wishes of the voter 244 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 4: base in order to maintain their party by creating division. 245 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't agree more with the with both of 246 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: your points. Brandon and Alexis will be back in the 247 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: second segment of this to talk about water pressure hopefully 248 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: coming to a shower near you, and also Prince Harry 249 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: loses his security detail. All that and more coming up 250 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: next on this episode of Turning Point Tonight. We will 251 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: be right back after the break. Don't go wait. Welcome 252 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: back to Turning Point Tonight, where we are charting the 253 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: course of America's cultural comeback.

The press 271 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 2: briefings are in the wings. 272 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, I know, and you can't come in. 273 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: The Senate Comms guy Aaron Wasser blocked me from going 274 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: into a press briefing even though I had a credential. 275 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 2: What are you guys afraid of?

We are 330 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 2: all supposed to cover and hold accountable. 331 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 10: If the legacy media doesn't stand up for people, But 332 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 10: like Jonathan Choe, they're just paving the way for their 333 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 10: own access and First Amendment rights to be trampled on. 334 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 2: One day, didn't we just let the fox into the henhouse? 335 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 9: Aren't we, as journalists supposed to be holding our lawmakers accountable. 336 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 2: Jerry I asked Cornfield why he wouldn't stand with us 337 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: to form a united front as journalists, but he ran away. 338 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: This hurts all journalists, you know that, right. 339 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 11: We had an open press and we've given them complete access. 340 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: Republican lawmakers like State Senator Keith Gainor agree this hurts 341 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: media access and transparency. 342 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 11: If you're in the public eye making public laws. I mean, 343 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 11: it seemed like the public should be able to know 344 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 11: what's going on. 345 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 8: Progressive politicians in Washington State come out of echo chambers. 346 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 8: They're used to friendly environments, friendly questions of frankly, not 347 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 8: a lot of challenging. 348 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: But Representative Jim Walsh says, good reporters will always find 349 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: a way to get the story, even with more hurdles. 350 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 8: I think an aggressive media will find its own. 351 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 6: So if you want to go on the floor and 352 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 6: get your b roll. 353 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 2: For the remainder of the day, security only allowed me 354 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: to watch Senate floor proceedings from this designated media table. 355 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 2: I can't be with a grown up, so I have 356 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 2: to be at the kiddie table, and if all the 357 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 2: seats were ever occupied, I have to observe from the 358 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: nosebleed section. Totally disengaged from lawmakers Governor Ferguson, but I 359 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 2: had no problem getting into Democratic Governor Bob Ferguson's press conference, 360 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: where he even took a few of my questions. I 361 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: know your job is to stifle the press. As for Wasser, 362 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 2: he admits, this State House crudentialing process is so new. 363 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: They're building the airplane and flying it at the same time, so. 364 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 8: We're figuring out exactly you know, the press is creudential 365 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 8: themselves for ever. 366 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: Reporters will just have to wait and see where it 367 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 2: all lands. There we go, my one week passy. 368 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: A real interesting report coming out of our frontlines team. 369 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: I wonder if anyone will pay the price for, in 370 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: my opinion, diructing free speech. Probably not. Let's get back 371 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: to our panel to discuss some things that I think 372 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: are going pretty well, and maybe even some pop culture stuff. 373 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: Alexis and Brandon rejoin us, guys. I want to play 374 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: this clip from yesterday when President Trump signed an executive 375 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: order hopefully bringing back water pressure that Obama had reinforced, 376 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: and then Trump took away, and then Biden said, no, 377 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: we got to lower the water pressure again, and then 378 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: Trump took it away. For a second time in this term. 379 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: Go ahead and play this clip and we'll get our 380 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: guest reactions. 381 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 8: You wash your hands, and. 382 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 4: In my case, I like to take a nice shower 383 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 4: to take care of my beautiful hair. 384 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 6: I have to stand there of the shower. If a 385 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 6: fifteen minutes still, it gets wet, it comes out, drip, drip, drip. 386 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 8: It's ridiculous. 387 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 2: And what you do is you end up washing your 388 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: hands five times longer. 389 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 6: So it's the same water. 390 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 4: And we'll open it up so that people could live 391 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 4: and we're gonna hopefully have Congress approve it. 392 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that vibe. 393 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: I gotta wash my beautiful hair. 394 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: Oh well, I think we have a panel today that 395 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: actually does have some pretty extensive haircare routines. I don't 396 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: want to assume anything, but alexis you first. My wife 397 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: in particular, really, really really hates low water pressure showers 398 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: because you got a lot of hair, and it honestly 399 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: takes longer and uses more water, which defeats the purpose 400 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: of having low water pressure. 401 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 2: Your thoughts. 402 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 3: I could not agree more with your wife. It's infuriating 403 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 3: to have low water pressure, and I think that it 404 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 3: really is an issue that I imagine makes the president President 405 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 3: Trump very upset. I mean time, time is everything for him, 406 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 3: and I can actually see him being you know, getting 407 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 3: out and going. This is a priority because I just 408 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 3: lost time because of this low water pressure. And that's 409 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: I think the funniest part of this is I see 410 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 3: this being a tactical issue for him. You know, we 411 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 3: can gain a couple of minutes. Here, got assign an 412 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 3: executive order, and I love that about him. I think 413 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 3: the low pressure thing is crazy, the fact that that 414 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 3: was seen as a huge impact on the ecological factors 415 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 3: that the Left likes to package up in different ways 416 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 3: just to pass things that they want. You know, this 417 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 3: falls into the category of windmills for me. I just 418 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 3: i'm I'm I'm so happy, so happy to see this 419 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 3: reverse next incandescent light bulbs everywhere stack. 420 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't, I don't hate that idea. I also 421 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: just laughing at the b roll. I didn't know that 422 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: we had President Trump quoffing his hair. I loved it, Brandon. 423 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: So so obviously none of this actually made a difference. 424 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: It was just a virtue signal to say, well, water 425 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: pressure goes down, therefore people will spend less, use less 426 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: water which isn't actually how any of that works. It 427 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: Can you kind of speak to that fact, maybe maybe 428 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: give some insights into your haircare routine and will it 429 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: improve with the water pressure going up? 430 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 2: Hopefully? 431 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 5: Yes? Okay, Joe Bob. 432 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 4: There are so many ways in which I think of 433 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 4: myself as a strong black woman. But if you want 434 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 4: to see me, I'm just being honest right now. If 435 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 4: you want to see me absolutely fall apart, put me 436 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 4: inside of a shower with bad water pressure, and that 437 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 4: is literally the quickest way to make me absolutely internally collapsed. 438 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 4: I don't know if people remember the nineties, there was 439 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 4: a music video by Tony Braxton called Unbreak My Heart 440 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 4: and she was actually laying in the bathtub crying as 441 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 4: the shower fell on her, Like that is what I 442 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 4: am like when I'm in. 443 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 5: The presence of bad water pressure. 444 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 4: It is horrendous when you I mean, you actually have 445 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 4: to say and you have to like plot out how 446 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 4: do you get the shampoo in? How do you get 447 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 4: the shampoo out? It becomes like a whole strategic process. 448 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 4: But even worse in like I've been many places in 449 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 4: California where they like regulate toilet flushing, like I have 450 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 4: friends who I've gone to their places and use their bathroom, 451 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 4: and I like, you literally have to flush the toilet 452 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 4: seventeen eighteen times to get the toilet to actually flush. 453 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 4: And I'm like, this is using three hundred times more 454 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 4: water than if I were able to just actually flush 455 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 4: the toilet like a human being. Now you asked about 456 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 4: my hair. 457 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 5: Thank you. By the way, Yeah, a lot into my hair. 458 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 4: You know, my co panaelst today alexis incredibly beautiful woman, 459 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 4: gorgeous hair. But I would promise you my hair care 460 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 4: routine is probably more extensive than hers and just about 461 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 4: any other person on the planet. A lot goes into 462 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 4: what you're seeing right now. And so I need to 463 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 4: be able to get into a shower that's much like 464 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 4: a waterfall. I need to feel water cascading all over 465 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 4: my body, and I need to be able to thoroughly wash, rinse, 466 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 4: and clean. 467 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 5: My hair in my entire body. 468 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 4: So thank you President for you know what, Thank you 469 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 4: President Trump for pardoning me for January sixth, but perhaps 470 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 4: even more important, thank you for bringing. 471 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 5: Good water pressure back. President Trump. Thank you. 472 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, our panel I think benefits greatly from this 473 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: executive order. I want to get to this really really quick. 474 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: So we get some short answers from you guys. Prince 475 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: Harry has lost his UK funded security, so he stepped 476 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: down from being a primary member of the royal family 477 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: and they said, okay, well you lose your security. Is no, no, no, 478 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to lose my security, And now he's 479 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: in court fighting it back. Alexis. I don't know what 480 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: is going through the minds of Harry and Megan when 481 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: they kind of contradict themselves constantly in the things that 482 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: they do, in the actions that they take. 483 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 3: Uh, you know, I that's a tough one because there's 484 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 3: so much to unpack here in social little time. But 485 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 3: in short, you know, in general, I do not enjoy 486 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 3: trivializing the security that people who need security need. But 487 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 3: as far as the fact that his wife has a 488 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,959 Speaker 3: Netflix deal, she has a Spotify deal, both things do 489 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 3: not get good views, and she's kind of getting them 490 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 3: because of her name. I mean, it's just it's the truth. 491 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 3: It's a fact. That's okay, she's getting her bag. They 492 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 3: can afford security, Hunter Biden. He went to Africa and 493 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 3: took tax pair of funded security with him in order 494 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 3: to not testify on behalf of his criminal you know, 495 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 3: investigations to answer to the American people, and so those 496 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 3: are I think egregious misuses of using taxpayer funded security, 497 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 3: whether it's UK or America. You know, I think it 498 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 3: really gives a bad name to the whole thing. And 499 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 3: I think, you know, if you're gonna step down from 500 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 3: the royal family and you're going to make a lot 501 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 3: of money, you can pay for your own security. 502 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, Brendon, I got about thirty seconds. 503 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 7: You have any thoughts on this? 504 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I just I agree with that.

But then it's like, 511 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 4: but I don't want to get rid of the Royal 512 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 4: credit cards and I don't want to get rid of 513 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 4: the Royal security, and I. 514 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 5: Don't, you know, I don't want to get rid of 515 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 5: the royal wardrobe. 516 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 4: And all of a sudden, it's like, dude, like if 517 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 4: you want to live like a normal person, Live like 518 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 4: a normal person and pay for your own crap. 519 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 5: That's the way it works. 520 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds that sounds about accurate.

Up next a fantastic clip from Alex Clark's 525 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: Culture Apothecary podcast, and then throw down Thursday like we 526 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: all love to see. 527 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: We'll be right back after the break. 528 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: Don't go wait. 529 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 12: Why are fermented foods a health game changer? 530 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 7: So, fermented foods are where there's a lot of like 531 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 7: good gut bacteria, microbiome. My issue with it is that 532 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 7: it can feed fungus. Anything fermented can feed if there's 533 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 7: too much fungus in the body. And so a lot 534 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 7: of back to my patient population are sensitive people who 535 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 7: have you know a lot of times fungal over growth 536 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 7: and stuff. And you can use sauerkraut and fermented foods 537 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 7: later on, but I pull them off initially because it 538 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 7: will feed fungus and mold. And so some people when 539 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 7: they this is like classic, they're like, all right, I'm 540 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 7: ready to get healthy. Let's do this. I'm gonna go 541 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 7: to sprouts and I'm when all this this sour crowd 542 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 7: and all of suddenly like wow, my gut is bloated 543 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 7: beyond belief and I feel terrible. This stuff doesn't work. 544 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 7: I'm going back to my lifestyle. And that's why it 545 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 7: doesn't work, is because it's a good thing at the 546 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 7: wrong time is still the wrong thing. 547 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 12: Why are you anti kombucha for that reason? 548 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 7: That's one of the reasons. But kombucha is also caffeine, you. 549 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 12: Know what, get out of here? Yeah, yeah, okay. 550 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 7: And the thing is caffeine stresses deliver, it dehydrates you. 551 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 7: So especially with females who you know, very sensitive hormone pictures, 552 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 7: caffeine is liver stressor. 553 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 13: I mean for me, I am taking the teeniest, tiniest 554 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 13: little juice glass with dinner of kombucha. 555 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, and that that could be totally fine. 556 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think sipping on it all day long probably 557 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 12: a little overkill. 558 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 7: Yeah. And it's probably the same with coffee. And obviously, 559 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 7: like you know, coffee has everyone loves it. Obviously, it's 560 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 7: like their morning ritual. There's an emotional attachment to it. 561 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 7: Back to emotions. I think more people are emotionally attached 562 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 7: to their coffee because coffee taste terrible. I don't care 563 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 7: what anyone says, I don't care what anyone's going to 564 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 7: say about this. Coffee taste terrible. It smells better than 565 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 7: taste always, but the smell is emotional because your sense 566 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 7: of smell goes directly into your emotional centers of your brain. 567 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 7: You're like, oh, can we have my morning coffee? And 568 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 7: then it's like, you know, if you're being real with yourself, 569 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 7: doesn't taste nearly as good as it smells. Everyone's like, 570 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 7: all right, well, I do mold free coffee. I put 571 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 7: mushrooms in my coffee, and they try to make it 572 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 7: like a better experience, and you know that that can be. 573 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 7: But at the end of the day, it's still a 574 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 7: liver stressor and it's still dehydrating. Caffeine will spike cortisol, 575 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 7: and if you are too high of cordison and you 576 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 7: have anxiety, caffeine is not gonna do. You're not gonna 577 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 7: do well with caffeine. 578 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 13: What do you believe holds the key for cracking the 579 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 13: autism code? 580 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 7: Environmental toxicity and getting mom to be well before conceiving. 581 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 7: How soon before I would go at least four months okay, yeah, 582 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 7: one hundred and twenty days minimum, and just getting you know, 583 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 7: your gut better, your liver better, taking glued tothione which 584 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 7: helps heal the barriers of your system, like your blood, 585 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 7: brain barrier, your gut barrier, lung barrier that I think 586 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 7: is crucial. But then don't vaccinate, Like that's the infamous question. 587 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 7: Does vaccines cause autism? And I've been asked that thousands 588 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 7: upon thousands of times, and what I will say is 589 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 7: that it's like the cherry on top, It's like what 590 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 7: broke the estralla, broke the camel's back. Because there are 591 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 7: glacysate in our foods, in our environment, right, there's chemtrails, 592 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 7: There's so much stuff that is constantly breaking us down. 593 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 7: And then like even twenty years ago, they were showing 594 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 7: how many chemicals are in umbilical cord. 595 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 12: I ate like crap. 596 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 13: I was on hormonal birth control for almost a decade 597 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 13: ultra process foit was basically my entire diet for my 598 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 13: entire life until like two years ago. So what my 599 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 13: fear is that if you know, God blesses me one 600 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 13: day with children. My firstborn child is just going to 601 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 13: be so messed up because all of this stuff is 602 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 13: going to dump into them that's been in my body. 603 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 7: I mean, if you do all the basics like you 604 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 7: seem to be doing with red and for red light 605 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 7: and exercise and diet and stuff like that, that's a 606 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 7: huge home run. And the body is very resilient, Like 607 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 7: you know that, there so much can be corrected. I 608 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 7: always say, it's never too late and so and the 609 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 7: mental stress of you saying that could be worse than 610 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 7: the actual toxins, if they're even still in your system. 611 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 12: Is whiter brown rice healthier white? Now? Why have we 612 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 12: been told our whole life? Brown rice? Brown rice? Brown rice? 613 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 7: Brown rice I find feeds viruses more than white rice. 614 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 7: And that's the reason why I go to white rice. 615 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 7: Now here's a trick with brown rice that could make 616 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 7: it healthier than white rice. It only works with brown 617 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 7: is you take the rice and it's not cooked, it's 618 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 7: just raw, you know, and you put it in a 619 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 7: pan on the stove. You go to medium heat, and 620 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 7: you just stir it for like eight to ten minutes 621 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 7: until some of the rice starts cracking or you smell 622 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 7: it like cooking, and what that does is it changes 623 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 7: the glycemic sugar index of the rice and the body 624 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 7: recognizes it more as a protein. So you can do 625 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 7: like a whole thing. You can predo this. You can 626 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 7: do pounds of rice or whatever, and you keep starring it. 627 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 7: You'll it's a very distinct smell. Some rices will start popping. 628 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 7: You know it's kind of done. Then you let it 629 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 7: cool off and you cook it. It normal. It registers 630 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 7: more as a protein than a carb. It gives a 631 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 7: little more texture to the rights, a little more like 632 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 7: a Dante, which I'm an al Dante fan, so I 633 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 7: personally like it, but I usually go white rice and 634 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 7: bosmodi over brown in our household. 635 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 12: Can you share anything about vaping terrible. 636 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 7: Toxic chemicals directly into your lungs, destroying your lung barrier, 637 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 7: depleting your glued to thione lung and large intestin our 638 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 7: brother's sister in Chinese medicine, so anything that affects the 639 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 7: lungs affects your gut, so it's going to destroy your 640 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 7: digestive track. 641 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 13: Okay, now wait a second, and what is exploding right now? 642 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 13: Under thirty colon cancer?

I mean they did it thousands of years ago. 661 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 7: They weren't able to cut into people and they still 662 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 7: understood these relationships. Is very fascinating to me. And they 663 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 7: even understand relationships that Western medicine and current day like 664 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 7: still don't acknowledge. But like one of the biggest things 665 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 7: again is smoking will cause colon cancer and a bad 666 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 7: diet can cause lung cancer, and they would say, oh, yeah, 667 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 7: the lung and large intestine our brother's sister. So one 668 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 7: affects the other. 669 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 13: Well, and here's the other huge myth, like, just speaking 670 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 13: of smoking and stuff, is that so many gen zers, 671 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 13: young millennials, we were told, well, number one, you know, 672 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 13: marijuana is amazing medicinal. I don't know your thoughts on marijuana, 673 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 13: but one thing that I think is interesting is that 674 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 13: they're just saying that. But I think how you're ingesting 675 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 13: it is important. And what's happening is a lot of 676 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 13: people are using the pens to smoke marijuana, and that 677 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 13: also has all these other chemicals and things in there, 678 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 13: flavors that have mystery stuff in there. 679 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 12: People think, oh, oh, I just smoke. 680 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 13: Pot, that's good for you, and they're using a pen, 681 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 13: and I think that that is causing a lot of problems. 682 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 7: Percent Yeah, the pens are cut with chemicals. Marijuana is 683 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 7: so interesting because like, I was a heavy marijuana user, 684 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 7: and I say that it somewhat saved my life in 685 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 7: times that I actually needed it. And now that I 686 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 7: know more about the biochemistry and stuff, now I have 687 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 7: shipped my perception of it a little bit or a 688 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 7: lot of bit. 689 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 13: I guess what do you think about people saying it's 690 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 13: causing psychosis? 691 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 7: It can if they're blood sugar is unstable and they 692 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 7: have a lot of underlying stuff going on. 693 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 12: For sure, it's a blood sugar thing. 694 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 7: The thing with marijuana is everyone knows like, ohy, I 695 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 7: get the munchies. Well, what's the munchies. It's a drop 696 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 7: in blood sugar that makes you starving. Bro So like 697 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 7: for diabetics, like, I'm not opposed to them smoking wheed 698 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 7: like that can drop their blood sugar pretty well and 699 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 7: then they could eat proper and that can help them 700 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 7: with their you know, high insulin and stuff like that. 701 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 7: So I'm not opposed to it. But I also think 702 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 7: that marijuana passed asides fungal in the buds and stuff 703 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 7: like that. Is that a thing? 704 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 12: Organic mirror? 705 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 5: Okay? 706 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, one you can find it now. A lot of 707 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 7: the stores, like the dispensaries, they want high turnover rates, 708 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 7: so these places aren't doing organic. 709 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 12: It's junk. It's ultra process marit ulture process. 710 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 7: And it's very potent and like in all that stuff, 711 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 7: Like if you ever like talk to someone who was 712 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 7: like a weed smoker, like the sixties and stuff. They'll 713 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 7: always say, like, man, this stuff, you guys got these 714 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 7: the like these days different, totally different, like because it 715 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 7: is because it's ultraly processed. It's super potent. And back 716 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 7: then they were doing things organically like GLA have to say, 717 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 7: it wasn't sprayed everywhere right until this like seventies and eighties. 718 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 13: This is juicy And I have not talked about this 719 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 13: with anyone yet. What is the weirdest wellness thing that 720 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 13: you've tried that actually worked and you're like everyone should try. 721 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 7: That's tough, I would say, honestly. One that I've been 722 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 7: like doing for a while now that I really like 723 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 7: is remember when like perennial sunning was a thing. 724 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,240 Speaker 12: Are you telling me that that is real? 725 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 7: It is real for sure, like hormone and like back 726 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 7: to like the root chakra and like all that area 727 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 7: has a very profound effect on you. And so not 728 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 7: that though, but using red and for red light at 729 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 7: home instead of doing sun. 730 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: Welcome back to turning point tonight, where we are charting 731 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: the course of America's cultural comeback.

He 751 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,919 Speaker 1: said the Libs have actually proven him wrong. And I'll 752 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: paraphrase what he said, but he basically said, you know, 753 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: He's thought for his entire life that it wasn't possible 754 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: for people to live without a brain, and fortunately, well unfortunately, 755 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,760 Speaker 1: I guess for him, that belief he's had for many, 756 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: many years has been proven wrong by the modern day 757 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: left libs apparently can walk, live and breathe without having 758 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: a brain to comprehend reality. 759 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 2: Love reading the. 760 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: Emails from you, guys.

It's throw Down Thursday. 769 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 2: Now. 770 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: Usually we play clip from Charlie Kirkin on his on 771 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: campus stuff just owning the college lives, which we'll probably 772 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 1: get to in a little bit, but I thought it 773 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: was interesting and appropriate today to play a clip from 774 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 1: Brandon Stracke or our guest from previously in the show. 775 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: This is Brandon going to a protest and throwing it 776 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: down with someone who thinks we should trust black women 777 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: implicitly and entirely with no other qualifications. 778 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 5: Watch this Does this sign mean to you? 779 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: Yeah? 780 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 6: Black women are probably the least respected in America. Their 781 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,959 Speaker 6: voices aren't heard, their issues aren't paid attention to. Many 782 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 6: White women look beyond their own personal interests, and they 783 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 6: leave black women out of conversation. And I think America 784 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 6: needs to change about that. 785 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 5: What are we not trusting them to do right now? 786 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 6: How to care for our country? How to care for 787 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 6: each other, how to stand up and fight for things 788 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 6: that aren't right? 789 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 5: Millions of black women voted for Trump. 790 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:38,359 Speaker 4: Should we trust them? 791 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 11: I'll say you and. 792 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 6: I don't think that's true. Women voted for Trump way too. 793 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 7: Many, way too many, it is. 794 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 5: Should we trust them? 795 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. 796 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 5: Maybe not trust black women, then that's not true. 797 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 6: I do trust black women. 798 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 5: Who'd vote Or Kamala Harris, I think. 799 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 6: He wants to know if I trust the black women 800 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 6: who voted for Trump. 801 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 11: I don't know. 802 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 5: I can't. 803 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: That's it's too funny. It's an obvious thing to point 804 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: out we trust black women unless they don't agree with 805 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: the white women that are at this rally, in which 806 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: case then they're wrong, which kind of negates the fact 807 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 1: that we trust black women. As she said, Uh, it's 808 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: too It is interesting too, you know, not to belabor 809 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,760 Speaker 1: the point here how good some people are, like Brandon 810 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: is on the streets kind of coming up with that 811 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: in real time, because it is it is, you know, 812 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: sometimes difficult because you're there's a lot of things going 813 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: on at once, and sometimes after you leave that situation, 814 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 1: you go, dang it, I should have said that, but 815 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: he nailed it. Just uh, yeah, you trust black women. 816 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 1: So what about the black women that voted for President Trump? 817 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 7: Uh? 818 00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: Uh, I have to go, which is effective, Lewis says, Geez, 819 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: that's all the throat on Thursday we have for today. 820 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: There's another funny clip that I think we'll probably get 821 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 1: to tomorrow that I think is fascinating and you're gonna 822 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: love to see it. So tune in tomorrow just as 823 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: you do every night here at TP turning Point. Tonight 824 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: the emails TPTTPUS dot com. Charlie is going to take 825 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 1: us out. We will see it tomorrow, same time, same place. 826 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: God bless America. 827 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 14: A bond is a type of a long term security. 828 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 14: You loan somebody or something money and they pay you 829 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 14: back over a period of several years. So companies issue bonds. 830 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 14: Cities famously issue bonds municipal bonds. In fact, they're tax free, 831 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 14: and most importantly, our own government, the United States government, 832 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 14: issues trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars in bonds. 833 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 14: Now they are considered to be the safest investment. Why well, 834 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 14: because it's backed by the full faith and credit of 835 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 14: the United States. There are four types of bonds. There 836 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,799 Speaker 14: are treasury bills otherwise known as T bills. They're very 837 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 14: short term and you do not get what is called 838 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 14: a coupon. A coupon is basically money back on your 839 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 14: investment in the bond. Then there's something called treasury notes, 840 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 14: which are two to ten years. They do pay interest 841 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 14: about every six months. They're very popular with individual investors 842 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,760 Speaker 14: and institutions. Then we have something called treasury bonds, which 843 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 14: mature over twenty to thirty years. They pay interest or 844 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 14: a coupon every six months, and they're often used by 845 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 14: pension funds or long term investors. And then we have 846 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 14: tips treasury inflated inflation protection securities which principle adjusts with 847 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 14: inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index CPI, and interest 848 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 14: payments rise if inflation rises. If inflation rises, okay, So 849 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 14: typically bonds are a safe refuge during turmoil. If all 850 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 14: of a sudden, the markets get a little jitiary, you 851 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 14: go to the bond market when you hear about the 852 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 14: federal government running a deficit. The way we finance that 853 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 14: deficit is through bonds. The US government sells a treasury 854 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 14: bond which takes in money and now in return for 855 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,359 Speaker 14: a promise to pay interest over some period of time. 856 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 14: There Again, as I mentioned short term and long term 857 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 14: treasury bonds, the interest you earn on these bonds fluctuate 858 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 14: according to the market. 859 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 8: Well. 860 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 14: US treasury bonds are hugely influential on the entire global market. 861 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 14: The United States government has never defaulted on its debt. Traditionally, 862 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 14: US bonds are considered the most ultra safe investment there is. 863 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 14: They are the floor of the market. A common idea 864 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 14: is this, never invest in something that is likely to 865 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,720 Speaker 14: underperform treasury bonds. One of the reasons why Scott Bessant 866 00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 14: was selected as Treasury Secretary is he is a bond expert. 867 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 14: He understands the bond market better than anybody else. Scott 868 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 14: Besson understands what moves bond prices, and what was happening 869 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 14: from late Tuesday night to early Wednesday morning was a 870 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 14: very good ten year auction, but a disturbing spike in 871 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,879 Speaker 14: bond prices and a disturbing spike in bond activity which 872 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 14: China was playing their nuclear card, which is what set 873 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,919 Speaker 14: President Trump offs so much. One of the reasons why 874 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 14: President Trump said China is not exempt and we're going 875 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 14: to unite the entire world against China is China was 876 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 14: intentionally trying to create a run on American bonds. China 877 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 14: was intentionally, dare I say, playing with the idea of 878 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 14: collapsing the American bond market. Bonds have collapsed, the bond 879 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 14: market has collapsed, more government than Howarzer's missiles or bullets. Famously, 880 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 14: of course, the Russian default nineteen ninety eight, the Russian 881 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,840 Speaker 14: government collapsed and they defaulted on forty billion dollars of 882 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 14: domestic debt and devalued the ruble. The yields on short 883 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 14: term Russian treasury bills otherwise known as gko's, skyrocketed as 884 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 14: investors fled the market. Argentina in two thousand and one 885 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 14: had a sovereign default. Argentina default on over one hundred 886 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 14: billion dollars in sovereign debt, the largest default in history 887 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,280 Speaker 14: at that time. The bond collapse resulted in Argentinian bond 888 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,720 Speaker 14: prices plummeting and yield spikes over thirty percent. Capital fled 889 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 14: the country, and of course the peso collapsed. You might 890 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:40,320 Speaker 14: remember back in twenty ten the Greek Eurozone debt crisis. 891 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 14: Greece revealed that it has been under reporting its deficit, 892 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 14: causing investors to panic and dump Greek government bonds. Greek 893 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 14: tenure bond yielded sword past thirty five percent, make it 894 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 14: impossible for Greece to borrow on the open market. Greece 895 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 14: had to be bailed out by the EU and the 896 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 14: IMF under strict austerity term rooms. There's examples after examples 897 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 14: of countries that are collapsing because of the mismanagement of 898 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 14: their bond market. When countries can't sell bonds, they have 899 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 14: to resort to other means of paying their bills, like 900 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 14: devaluing their currency and hyperinflation. And what we were seeing 901 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 14: and what we were afraid of on the Horizon was 902 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 14: a run on the bond market was potentially the American 903 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 14: economic established order very well could have had a financial 904 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 14: crisis similar to that of twenty twenty or two thousand 905 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 14: and eight. President Trump made a very prudent move and 906 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 14: China played their strongest card. Now I understand. Scott Bessen 907 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 14: said that the tenure auction was actually very good, which 908 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 14: is interesting, which means that people are betting on the 909 00:45:54,160 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 14: long term viability and the long term prosperity of this country. 910 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 14: They're happy to say, Okay, I'll do a ten year bet, 911 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 14: but a six month bet, I don't know. Basically, people 912 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,839 Speaker 14: are long on America when it comes through over a decade, 913 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 14: but in the next three to six months, I'm not 914 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 14: so sure. Because of all these tariffs, and tariffs were 915 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,720 Speaker 14: the forcing function to actually get people to go away 916 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 14: from treasury bonds, which is incredibly complicated and somewhat contradictory 917 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 14: because typically when the economy is in is during a 918 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 14: moment of jitters, people go to treasury bonds, so it 919 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 14: makes it even more complicated. All that to say is 920 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,720 Speaker 14: that the bond market has a vote. Let's play cut 921 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 14: two thirty. 922 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 3: Five Teclary how much in this decision was driven by 923 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 3: the bond market creating. 924 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 5: Over ninety fi kades. 925 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,760 Speaker 9: Happening toot of China's selling their bonds. I am nothing 926 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,919 Speaker 9: that says that, and we actually had quite a good 927 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 9: tenire auction today. And all this was again, this was 928 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,320 Speaker 9: driven by the President's strategy. He and I had a 929 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,760 Speaker 9: long talk on Sunday and this was his strategy along 930 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,840 Speaker 9: and that you know, you might even say that he 931 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 9: goed China into a bad position. They responded, they have 932 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 9: shown themselves to the world to be the bad actors. 933 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 14: This is incredibly complicated stuff. All this to say, the 934 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 14: way we finance our government is through a bond. A 935 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,720 Speaker 14: bondnote is like an ioe you note. It's an ioe 936 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 14: you that the government can then give to people where 937 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 14: it needs to pay back. You buy a bond, you're 938 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 14: lending them money and they promised to pay you back 939 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 14: later with interest. When the bond market gets disrupted, the 940 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 14: entire funding of our government can get pucked into jeopardy.
