Speaker 1: We are now officially in the year two thousand and
Speaker 1: twenty three, so let's take a look back at two
Speaker 1: thousand and twenty two. From the FBI reading Donald Trump
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court overturning Roverse Wade. It was a
Speaker 1: wild ride, and we covered it all on the Truth
Speaker 1: with Lisa Booth. Let's take a trip down memory lane
Speaker 1: of some of my favorite interviews over the course of
Speaker 1: the past year. I mean, there's been so many. We've
Speaker 1: had so many interesting conversations with so many truth tellers,
Speaker 1: so many fearless and brave people who aren't afraid of
Speaker 1: ruffle feathers, who aren't afraid of think, say things that
Speaker 1: are contradictory to the group think and what you're hearing elsewhere.
Speaker 1: Over the course of the next hour, you're getting here
Speaker 1: from Governor to Santa so I got the opportunity to
Speaker 1: sit down with him in an over forty minute conversation
Speaker 1: in person and talk about some of the most important
Speaker 1: issues facing our country. We talked about how he handled
Speaker 1: and navigated COVID to his governing style. We also talked
Speaker 1: about the threat that puberty blockers face to two teenagers
Speaker 1: and the impact of that and the importance of protecting kids.
Speaker 1: We were able to talk to Fox News is Laura
Speaker 1: Ingraham after the FBI had just rated Donald Trump's home
Speaker 1: in an unprecedented move. We talked to her about what
Speaker 1: that means for the future of the country and we
Speaker 1: heard her insight. You'll hear that as well. Also got
Speaker 1: the chance to talk to Matt Walsh after his film
Speaker 1: came out, What Is a Woman, about the impact of
Speaker 1: this movement towards encouraging young people to, you know, cut
Speaker 1: their generals off in the name of transgenderism. What's the
Speaker 1: impact of all that on the country at young people.
Speaker 1: And then we hear from country music star John Ridge.
Speaker 1: We had a great conversation with him. He's a smart man,
Speaker 1: he's a brave man about what it's like being inside
Speaker 1: the country music industry, about the politics involved in that,
Speaker 1: and why he refuses to be a cog in the
Speaker 1: wheel there, and why he stands up on his own,
Speaker 1: he releases his music on his own, why that's important
Speaker 1: to him, and get his take on the direction the
Speaker 1: country is heading. I hope you'll continue to listen for
Speaker 1: future conversations in the year two thousand and twenty three,
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, I hope you enjoyed this review
Speaker 1: of two thousand and twenty two. He's the most talked
Speaker 1: about governor in America and he's also my governor. Governor
Speaker 1: run to Santis. He led Florida through COVID by rejecting
Speaker 1: Anthony Fauchery, rejecting the CDC, showing the rest of the
Speaker 1: country that lockdowns don't work. And I don't want to
Speaker 1: know what this country would look like if it wasn't
Speaker 1: for Florida and Governor Ron de Santa's leading the way
Speaker 1: for freedom, standing against the totalitarians, and now he's taking
Speaker 1: on culture. He's fighting the left, fighting the media, and
Speaker 1: protecting children from indoctrination. And for this episode, I wanted
Speaker 1: to get into all those issues, and we do, but
Speaker 1: I also wanted to get into the governor's thought process.
Speaker 1: How does he make decisions? Who is Governor Ron de Santis.
Speaker 1: We talked about his family and his upbringing as well,
Speaker 1: and if you haven't checked out his bio, it's insane.
Speaker 1: The guy's a complete stud He went to Yale University,
Speaker 1: where he graduated with honors for the captain of the
Speaker 1: varsity baseball team. He graduated with honors from Harvard Law School. There,
Speaker 1: he earned a commission of the U. S. Navy as
Speaker 1: a JAG officer. Then, during active duty service, he deployed
Speaker 1: to Iraq as an advisor to YOS Navy commander, and
Speaker 1: his military decorations include the Bronze Star Medal for Meritorious
Speaker 1: service in the Iraq Campaign Medal. This was also my
Speaker 1: first in person interview, and I went to a press
Speaker 1: conference he gave about the Stock Woke Act. We're going
Speaker 1: to get into that and so much more. I hope
Speaker 1: you love this interview. I know I do. Here's my
Speaker 1: conversation with Governor Ron De Santis. Governor, it's such an
Speaker 1: honor to have you on the show. Well thanks for
Speaker 1: having me, and I think you how long have you
Speaker 1: been in Florida? However a year? It's like a year
Speaker 1: and a half. You should put me on the board
Speaker 1: of tourism. There we go. I'm constantly selling the state.
Speaker 1: So most people who have moved, in fact, everyone that
Speaker 1: talks to me, none of them regretted. And I know
Speaker 1: you really enjoyed. It. So means a lot to us.
Speaker 1: It's like living in paradise. It's well, actually, if you're conservative,
Speaker 1: come here. If you're not at state. Well, I think
Speaker 1: that's what's happening. I mean, I think we really because
Speaker 1: of what we've done. People are so sensitive, particularly with COVID,
Speaker 1: about the type of state government they live under, and
Speaker 1: they know it can affect everything from their kids education
Speaker 1: to even being able to work and doing all these things.
Speaker 1: Like we saw the crazy policies, and so they are
Speaker 1: voting with their feet and we have seen a huge
Speaker 1: shift towards Republicans since I've been governor. Well and speaking
Speaker 1: of crazy policies, So you just held a press conference
Speaker 1: for the Stop Woke Act? What is it? Why was
Speaker 1: it needed to tell the audience about it? Woke in
Speaker 1: this context stands first, Stop Wrongs against our Kids and
Speaker 1: Employees Act, And so part of it is giving parents
Speaker 1: the ability to hold school district's accountable who do critical
Speaker 1: race theory, which is not allowed in Florida schools. Part
Speaker 1: of it also is to give employees, particularly from these
Speaker 1: big companies of civil rights protection against having this oppressive
Speaker 1: woke ideology imposed on them. For job trainings, people are
Speaker 1: having to be told that they have to confess their
Speaker 1: white privilege and all this other stuff. And honestly, it's
Speaker 1: assinine and so we really, with this bill are doing
Speaker 1: more to battle wokeness and CRT than any state is
Speaker 1: done in the country. And stop, Well, did you come
Speaker 1: up with that on your own? That's that's good, that
Speaker 1: was my idea. That's good. I like it. So I
Speaker 1: wanted to sincerely thank you for providing me safe refuge,
Speaker 1: because if it wasn't for you keeping Florida free, I
Speaker 1: might be in a gulag somewhere for the unvaccinated. And
Speaker 1: like I say that in jest, but also in sincerity.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that Rasmussen pull from
Speaker 1: not too long ago, where you looked at Biden. Supporters
Speaker 1: of m favored the government putting the unvaccinated, and designated
Speaker 1: facilities of Democrats more broadly supported taking children away from
Speaker 1: parents who weren't vaccinated. How far were we and how
Speaker 1: far are we from those kinds of scenarios taking fold Well,
Speaker 1: I think if Florida had not stood up against that
Speaker 1: and many other bad policies, I think that those would
Speaker 1: have taken hold of the whole country. We'd look more
Speaker 1: like Canada right now. We were the first state over
Speaker 1: a year ago we banned vaccine passports and when we
Speaker 1: did it, the left had a connection. But even some
Speaker 1: of these quote libertarians like, oh, you're banning passports with
Speaker 1: a private business, and I'm like, yeah, I am, because
Speaker 1: your rights should not be circumscribed in terms of just
Speaker 1: participating in society based on this COVID shot. It's a
Speaker 1: private matter, and if one business does it, and then
Speaker 1: people are gonna say, Florida has passports and we don't
Speaker 1: allow them. The result of that was we had the
Speaker 1: biggest domestic tourism yere in then we had in the
Speaker 1: history of the state, and we had more foreign visitors
Speaker 1: to Florida than New York City did. New York City
Speaker 1: has led for like the last twenty years. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: be coming here if they had to show paperwork to
Speaker 1: go get a hamburger. What we did was good for
Speaker 1: the individual, but it was also good for our state.
Speaker 1: And I think if you look at what we did
Speaker 1: to ban school districts from forcing the kids to get
Speaker 1: the COVID vacs very very early on, that gave so
Speaker 1: many parents a good peace of mind. We have had
Speaker 1: families moved to Flora or just because of that issue.
Speaker 1: I don't know how it went from make it available
Speaker 1: to people, particularly senior citizens, to all of a sudden
Speaker 1: being you know, you're not gonna even be able to
Speaker 1: leave your home. Some people have said, if you don't
Speaker 1: get this COVID shot, I know, by the way, the
Speaker 1: COVID say what you want about it, it does not
Speaker 1: prevent you from spreading it or getting infected anyways. And
Speaker 1: so I thought it was a huge, huge threat to freedom.
Speaker 1: I think we held the line, and I think because
Speaker 1: we held the line, I think other states in fallow.
Speaker 1: In fact, it's been reported in some of these liberal
Speaker 1: publications that Fauci and some of these people in Biden's
Speaker 1: White House wanted him to do more draconian restrictions, particularly
Speaker 1: with interstate travel and vax passes, and some of his
Speaker 1: political guys said, you know, if you do that, Governor
Speaker 1: de Santis is going to light you up. And I
Speaker 1: would have, and good for you for that, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's why conservatives are just loving
Speaker 1: hearing what you're doing, seeing what you're doing here in Florida,
Speaker 1: really holding the line and going on the offense. And
Speaker 1: right now we're sort of seeing these diverging viewpoints in
Speaker 1: the republic Bomparty, like particularly when you look at what's
Speaker 1: going on with Disney, and there's one school of thought
Speaker 1: where you know, Republicans were based to sort of see
Speaker 1: those numbers that I mentioned with res Musin and understand
Speaker 1: that there's some of the left that would put you
Speaker 1: away or take your kids away for your beliefs, right,
Speaker 1: And then there's this other side of the Republican Party
Speaker 1: who thinks you can reason with people who hold those thoughts,
Speaker 1: you know, for instance, on Disney Charles Cook with the
Speaker 1: National Review, so that there was no need for you
Speaker 1: in the Florida legislature dessult the earth, take revenge, or
Speaker 1: make Florida's policies worse. You know, how should we approach
Speaker 1: today's left? Well, look, all I would say is if
Speaker 1: you think one California based company having their own government
Speaker 1: and having separate rules from everybody else in Florida is
Speaker 1: good policy, I'd like to know how you're coming to
Speaker 1: that conclusion. I mean, the fact of the matter is
Speaker 1: this was an aberration when it was done in the
Speaker 1: sixties to draw them in, and maybe it was the
Speaker 1: right thing then, I don't know, but now, uh, it
Speaker 1: is just not justifiable at all. And so the question
Speaker 1: is not that, oh, you're doing it to or quote revenge.
Speaker 1: The issue is is Disney really damaged his political standing
Speaker 1: in Florida. The legislature would never have considered doing this
Speaker 1: even six months ago. But because Disney is coming out
Speaker 1: and supporting transgender ideology and young kids, kids education. You
Speaker 1: saw the zoom calls where these higher ups in Disney
Speaker 1: are talking about, we have this agenda to really get
Speaker 1: in the kids programming. There's not a lot of defenders
Speaker 1: of Disney right now, so you're able to look at
Speaker 1: this with a fresh set of eyes and say, you know, what,
Speaker 1: is this really the partnership that the state of Florida
Speaker 1: once and I didn't think it was. I would have
Speaker 1: I would have signed this bill if they had passed
Speaker 1: it two years ago, just on on substance, but particularly
Speaker 1: now when their corporate culture is dedicated to that. And
Speaker 1: they also came out saying they're going to make an
Speaker 1: admission to repeal parents rights in Florida. So yes, we
Speaker 1: signed the bill. We quote quote one politically whatever that means,
Speaker 1: but they said they're coming to really do damage in Florida,
Speaker 1: and so we've got to take that seriously. Why would
Speaker 1: corporations need to be involved in the first place in
Speaker 1: Florida politics or politics of a state. Well, I think
Speaker 1: what I've always said is these businesses have every right.
Speaker 1: It's a free country. You ever right, But if you
Speaker 1: get into the political thicket, then just understand. You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tussle, we're gonna fight back, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: expose what you do. When Disney criticizes Florida, they don't
Speaker 1: say a word about the Communist Party of China. In China,
Speaker 1: they don't say a word about the weakers. They don't
Speaker 1: say a word about a lot of the places they
Speaker 1: do business and who will actually execute homosexuals, and so
Speaker 1: saying that there's somehow this big l v G T
Speaker 1: quh not when it affects their bottom line, They're willing
Speaker 1: to do business in a lot of very bad places.
Speaker 1: And so to single Florida out just by saying that
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have this transgender ideology and young kids classrooms
Speaker 1: was was really weird. But I think that what's happening
Speaker 1: in corporate America is some of the executives are woke
Speaker 1: and they think that they have this UM. I think
Speaker 1: most of it, though, is there's cabals of employees who
Speaker 1: are very radical, and I don't think they represent the
Speaker 1: kind of the overall viewpoint of the employees. But I
Speaker 1: think most of these other employees are scared to speak
Speaker 1: out because if you speak out against this stuff, people
Speaker 1: will attack you. They'll come after me. For example, with
Speaker 1: the women's sports, you know, we were very strong and
Speaker 1: saying what they did in that five hundred yard freestyle
Speaker 1: to have a mail swimmer who swam for three years
Speaker 1: on the men's team then switched to women, and you
Speaker 1: say that's the women's champion. You're depriving these other women
Speaker 1: of fair opportunities and wanted the second place finisher, quote
Speaker 1: unquote should have won the championhip. She was from Florida.
Speaker 1: So we put out a proclamation and people would tell me, governor,
Speaker 1: thanks for standing up for this. We're too scared to
Speaker 1: speak out because we're worried about the consequences. So I
Speaker 1: think what's happening in these companies is they just have
Speaker 1: a lot of momentum. There's really nobody that's pushing back
Speaker 1: against them, and so they end up having an outsized influence.
Speaker 1: But I do not think that woke impulse represents a
Speaker 1: majority of of employees, even in Disney in California, certainly
Speaker 1: not Disney in Orlando. I mean they when they did
Speaker 1: the big day of protests, they had one employee protests
Speaker 1: in Orlando. I think most of those employees. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think most of those employees either supported the bill or
Speaker 1: just didn't think Disney should get involved with it. And
Speaker 1: so but but I do think this is gonna increasingly
Speaker 1: be an issue. And so what do we do as conservatives?
Speaker 1: Do we allow massive corporate power to get behind a
Speaker 1: very pernicious ideology and impose that on society and what
Speaker 1: we just say free market and don't do anything while
Speaker 1: everything is getting steamrolled. I don't think you can do that.
Speaker 1: So I think you get in the arena and you
Speaker 1: fight back, and that's what we're doing. Do you think
Speaker 1: corporations will think twice before weighing and on some of
Speaker 1: the stuff now, I think they will In Florida? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so too. You know, wanted to ask you
Speaker 1: so that the Florida Department of Health has issued guidelines
Speaker 1: for treating gender dysmore iphia, recommending against gender transition, purity blockers,
Speaker 1: and hormones. But would you support a state law banning
Speaker 1: any of those medical interventions for children. I would ban
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I would ban the sex shade the operations.
Speaker 1: I think that it's something that you can't get a
Speaker 1: tattoo if you're up, you're twelve years old. When they
Speaker 1: say gender firm and care of me, what they mean
Speaker 1: a lot of times is you are really you're castrating
Speaker 1: a young boy, you're sterilizing a young girl, You're you're
Speaker 1: doing missectomies for these are young girls. And here's the thing,
Speaker 1: what our guidance pointed to in the search in general,
Speaker 1: did a great job for these young kids of the
Speaker 1: cases resolve themselves as they grow up, and so you're
Speaker 1: doing things that are permanently altering them and then they're
Speaker 1: not going to be able to reverse that. And so
Speaker 1: I don't think it's appropriate for kids at all. I
Speaker 1: think the guidance is right, but I think that there
Speaker 1: should be additional protections because you know, when you're growing up,
Speaker 1: there are things that you know, it's an awkward time,
Speaker 1: and it seems like there there's a concerted effort in
Speaker 1: society to push these kids in to do some type
Speaker 1: of medical intervention. In our judgment, that's not healthy. It's
Speaker 1: gonna ask you, why do you think the left is
Speaker 1: digging their heels in so hard on some of these issues.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's literally a Netflix series right now called
Speaker 1: He's Expecting, which you know, I wasn't aware that's possible,
Speaker 1: but you know, and obviously they have attacked to you
Speaker 1: for the parental rights bill. You know, they've stood behind
Speaker 1: men playing in women's sports. So why why are they
Speaker 1: digging their heels in on this? I can't explain it.
Speaker 1: I just think they're they have a very militon left
Speaker 1: this ideology. I think their view is, you know, they
Speaker 1: want to assault the earth of society and upend all
Speaker 1: these different conventions. I mean, you know, the House of
Speaker 1: Representatives under Pelosi the beginning of this current Congress, they
Speaker 1: voted to band using the words on the house floor, mother, sister, daughter,
Speaker 1: things like that. They said it was not inclusive enough.
Speaker 1: And I think most people see that and they're like,
Speaker 1: this is nuts. When they see that picture of the swim,
Speaker 1: you know, champion versus and then you have the other
Speaker 1: three girls hugging off to the side. They're looking at that,
Speaker 1: They're like, come on, when you tell me that a
Speaker 1: man can get pregnant, I'm not down with that. I
Speaker 1: know that that's not true. So I think it's been
Speaker 1: very damaging to them politically because the more the left
Speaker 1: is i mean fairly tagged with those views, I think
Speaker 1: it's abhorrent to a lot of folks, and I think
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why you see so many
Speaker 1: particularly working class constituencies fleeing the left and gonna probably
Speaker 1: vote Republican this year. Quick commercial break back with a
Speaker 1: great lor Ingraham. On the other side, we have a
Speaker 1: very very special guest for this episode, none other than
Speaker 1: the Great Laura Ingram. You know Laura Ingram from The
Speaker 1: Angram Angle on Fox News, always speaking the truth, fearless,
Speaker 1: independent minded, which I deeply respect. I love people like that.
Speaker 1: I love people like her, so I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: it's an honor to to have her guest as a
Speaker 1: guest on the show. You know her from TV. She
Speaker 1: previously was a nationally syndicated radio show, The Laura Ingram Show,
Speaker 1: and also before her media days, she worked as a
Speaker 1: speechwriter in the Reagan administration in the late nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1: You know, she went on to get her law degree.
Speaker 1: She worked as a judicial clerk in the Second Court
Speaker 1: of Appeals in New York then for the United States
Speaker 1: Supreme Court for Justice Clarence Thomas. So she's lived an
Speaker 1: interesting life, obviously accomplished a great deal, but I think
Speaker 1: most importantly, she's fearless and she's brave. I originally wanted
Speaker 1: to have her on to talk about life and to
Speaker 1: talk about some of that, you know, really interesting work
Speaker 1: experience she had and how she got into media and
Speaker 1: all those sorts of things. And then the FBI decided
Speaker 1: to raid Trump, right, and the country got turned upside down,
Speaker 1: and my plans got turned upside down for the things
Speaker 1: I wanted to discuss. So now we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about that the impact it has on the country. We'll
Speaker 1: get into other things too, but you know, primarily just
Speaker 1: sort of talk about the direction this nation is heading in.
Speaker 1: So I hope you enjoyed this conversation. I know it's
Speaker 1: an honor for me. Big fan of Laura Ingram, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you are too. So here she is Laura Ingram.
Speaker 1: So we've got a big show today, a big week obviously,
Speaker 1: a lot happening in the country. The great Laura Ingram
Speaker 1: is joining us. You know, Laura, I originally wanted to
Speaker 1: talk about life because you're a badass, and I admire
Speaker 1: and respect you. But then the but then the but
Speaker 1: then the you know I do, but but then the
Speaker 1: FBI rated Trump. So you know, now we're here, Laura,
Speaker 1: and it feels like the country is forever changed and
Speaker 1: we have uncertain times ahead. I think, Lisa, we have
Speaker 1: arrived at the at the proverbial rubicon. And you know,
Speaker 1: if people know their history, uh, that wasn't good. People think, oh,
Speaker 1: we're at the Rubicon. It's a new frontier. Now. This
Speaker 1: I think does so much to undermine what Americans need
Speaker 1: to believe about their government, namely, that the government exists
Speaker 1: to make their lives better. It doesn't exist to turn
Speaker 1: them into enemies. It doesn't exist to vanquish political opponents.
Speaker 1: It actually is supposed to work for us. And if
Speaker 1: we begin to lose faith in our law enforcement and
Speaker 1: our federal investigative services to the extent that I think
Speaker 1: so many people are losing it now, you know, to
Speaker 1: quote new Gingrich on the angerm Angle, uh, this week,
Speaker 1: he said we're at the precipice. I mean, it's not
Speaker 1: an exaggeration to say we're at the precipice now, because
Speaker 1: we know already Lisa that these forces on the left,
Speaker 1: I don't like the Constitution. They're not interested in the Framers.
Speaker 1: They think the Framers are a bunch of racists, And
Speaker 1: everything about America that has kind of held us together
Speaker 1: for two or in fifty years, they think is inherently corrupt. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so they don't care if people don't believe the
Speaker 1: FBI is operating in good faith. They don't. They don't
Speaker 1: care if people think the Justice Department is essentially the
Speaker 1: praetorian guard for failing administration. I don't care about any
Speaker 1: of that, because they think the system itself is fatally flawed.
Speaker 1: They would much prefer and I say they sort of
Speaker 1: the elites who have helped build up China all these
Speaker 1: years and let our military deteriorate over all these years.
Speaker 1: They would far prefer America to be run under a
Speaker 1: global understanding where where all the big decisions are made
Speaker 1: elsewhere by people we don't vote for, and by people
Speaker 1: who don't really have much respect for what the American
Speaker 1: experiment was really all about. So so it doesn't surprise
Speaker 1: me that they would go this low and degrade our
Speaker 1: system to the to the extent that they are because
Speaker 1: the people who are really pulling the levers of power now.
Speaker 1: They don't like our system. They think it's corrupt, and
Speaker 1: they think it's itself needs to be smashed and reformed
Speaker 1: and remade into something that's much less accountable to the
Speaker 1: people who they believe are also corrupt and racist. Um.
Speaker 1: So I think that's really the conundrum that we're facing,
Speaker 1: is a is a ruling class that has no respect
Speaker 1: for our found national documents or our our entire framework
Speaker 1: of existence and liberty for the people and securing liberty
Speaker 1: for the people. They don't like that, and that that
Speaker 1: that kind of system gave us Donald Trump in and
Speaker 1: you know, it's propelled Rhonda Santists to embarrass all these
Speaker 1: other governors who kept their states closed. So I think
Speaker 1: I think Americans overwhelmingly want things to get better that
Speaker 1: I think they overwhelmingly want things to go back to
Speaker 1: quote normal. Um, the new normal that we see we
Speaker 1: see playing out since the pandemic, and we all now
Speaker 1: see the truth about that. I mean some of us
Speaker 1: though it early on, but you know that's right, better
Speaker 1: later later than never. But people want to return to
Speaker 1: normalcy of a government they can they don't necessarily will trust,
Speaker 1: but they think is not purely existing to make their
Speaker 1: lives miserable. Uh. And I think that's what we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna see play out in these election cycles coming out.
Speaker 1: And how does a nation survive in in the environment
Speaker 1: that you laid out when you have half of the country,
Speaker 1: the people on the left undermining or institutions, not believing
Speaker 1: in our institutions, you know, not believing in the documents
Speaker 1: that created this nation and created the framework for the nation.
Speaker 1: How does the nation survive in that environment? Well, I
Speaker 1: think the only way we can the only way we've
Speaker 1: ever gotten through every incredibly difficult situation, whether it was
Speaker 1: a Great Depression or civil rights struggle or you know,
Speaker 1: the Civil War. I mean, we have to as a
Speaker 1: people decide that we aren't going to tolerate a certain
Speaker 1: type of leader, that we're gonna we're going to encourage
Speaker 1: and support those leaders who actually respect the people. And
Speaker 1: I think you see signs of that happening. I mean there,
Speaker 1: I think there are too many conservatives out there, and
Speaker 1: not just conservatives, but other people who say, oh, we're
Speaker 1: going to hellid a handbasket, there's no turning back. It's
Speaker 1: all all hope is lost. I mean, nobody wants to
Speaker 1: follow that. That mindset. Reagan came in in nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: in an environment that was so broken for America. I mean,
Speaker 1: we had our embassy held hostage, we had we had
Speaker 1: Iran erupting, we had to the Soviet Union still threatening us.
Speaker 1: We had a massive economic disaster on our hands, and
Speaker 1: we had we had a complete decline and patriotism and
Speaker 1: a lack of respect for our military. I mean across
Speaker 1: the board. In nineteen seventy nine, seventy nine, going into
Speaker 1: nine eight, America was in a huge mass We had
Speaker 1: terrible crime, cities were a mess, and we had someone
Speaker 1: to say no, no, no no, it's going to be morning
Speaker 1: in America. There's that we don't have to live this way.
Speaker 1: So I believe this comes from the people to finally
Speaker 1: people get fed up and they propelled someone like Reagan.
Speaker 1: But remember Reagan lost in nineteen seventy six. He lost
Speaker 1: the nomination in seventy six out by a lot, but
Speaker 1: he began to put together his framework all the way
Speaker 1: back in sixty four when they're really all hope was
Speaker 1: lost for the conservative movement. Talk about depressing in the
Speaker 1: sixty four and so we have to understand that things
Speaker 1: didn't get screwed up overnight, and they're not gonna get
Speaker 1: fixed overnight. This is going to take an enormous amount
Speaker 1: of work, but I think it's possible. I mean, I
Speaker 1: just think there's so many amazing young leaders out there,
Speaker 1: from whether it's Josh Holly or Tom Cotton or De
Speaker 1: Santis obviously, people like Christine Nome and um, you know
Speaker 1: all the great political leadership we've seen in Texas, Greg Abbott.
Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot of hope and I
Speaker 1: think I think we're seeing this kind of begin to
Speaker 1: bubble up in the younger people winning these primaries. Some
Speaker 1: of them won't win, some of them will win. But
Speaker 1: these are people who are you know, these are Hispanics,
Speaker 1: these are African Americans, these are these are moms, young
Speaker 1: business people who have just decided, you know something, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna sit on the sidelines. I'm gonna get involved.
Speaker 1: And I think that's surprising the Democrats right now. I
Speaker 1: think that's shocking them of how Republicans have really thrown
Speaker 1: off the cloak of the old establishment that failed us
Speaker 1: for decades and it begun to really embrace this more
Speaker 1: populist conservatism that that Trump smartly grabbed onto and rode
Speaker 1: all the way to the presidency in sixteen. So I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of hope, but it's going to
Speaker 1: take a lot of work. Well you, of course, we're
Speaker 1: a speech rader during the Reagan administration. But to your point,
Speaker 1: I believe that's why they're they're cracking down, because you
Speaker 1: are sort of seeing this upraising really not just in
Speaker 1: the United States but around the world, the people standing
Speaker 1: up to their government saying this is enough. COVID really
Speaker 1: accelerated the rise of authoritarianism in the West, and I
Speaker 1: think it's open some eyes. I was interested to see, Laura.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you you of Andrew Cuomo, the guy who
Speaker 1: killed elderly people, then covered it up saying that whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: this is a bridge too far. It must be more
Speaker 1: than a search for inconsequential archives or will be viewed
Speaker 1: as a political tactic. So even seeing someone like him
Speaker 1: as corrupt as he is saying that this is corrupt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that Democrats who have kind of been around
Speaker 1: politics for a long time should be very careful about
Speaker 1: what they're saying about this search warrant. I mean, I
Speaker 1: thought Schumer didn't say anything. He didn't want to get
Speaker 1: dragged into it. Bernie Sanders didn't say anything that Maybe
Speaker 1: that's just a political tactic. I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: had to say, I mean to drop a warrant on
Speaker 1: a former president of the United States, that guy is
Speaker 1: probably gonna be the party's nominee. Man, you better you
Speaker 1: better have like espionage or something like that. That's just
Speaker 1: something we That's just something speaking of norms that they
Speaker 1: supposedly are so worried about protecting. That is something we
Speaker 1: do not do. We do not do that as a country,
Speaker 1: and they decided to go there. I think at least,
Speaker 1: so you're right they're very worried about Trump winning again.
Speaker 1: Because I kind of joke and I say, I say
Speaker 1: Trump comes back, it's going to be no more Mr
Speaker 1: nice guy. I kind of joke about that. But because
Speaker 1: he now has he's learned. I would think that he's
Speaker 1: learned that you have to have great staff, which I
Speaker 1: think he actually did have at the end. He might not,
Speaker 1: he might not agree with that, but actually think he
Speaker 1: really did have good stuff, especially at the end. You
Speaker 1: have to have great staff and you have to hit
Speaker 1: the round ground running because the the the swamp will
Speaker 1: eat you up. And the and this lionizing of the
Speaker 1: of the military leadership, which he did, and I talked
Speaker 1: about this a lot this week, the lionizing of the generals.
Speaker 1: Just because someone's called a general doesn't doesn't it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that this is someone who you have to think
Speaker 1: is right on every single issue. In fact, these generals
Speaker 1: have been brought up through the ranks of political correctness
Speaker 1: and diversity, equity inclusion, and most of them are just
Speaker 1: worried about the defense contractor board that they're gonna land
Speaker 1: on in five years. So Trump, I think has had
Speaker 1: his eyes opened about the truth of the bureaucracy, the
Speaker 1: truth about the Pentagon, the failures there for decades and decades,
Speaker 1: we haven't won a war out right, Why is that?
Speaker 1: Why don't we ever ask for accountability on that? And
Speaker 1: so I think that Trump wins this time, Lisa. And
Speaker 1: he's not going to talk about draining the swamp. He's
Speaker 1: going to drain the swamp you talk about you talk
Speaker 1: about terrifying for them, Yeah, that's gonna be terrifying. So
Speaker 1: I think I think they pulled out all the stops
Speaker 1: because Aviator sunglasses. Man ain't gonna beat him next time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he rolled the curtain back on how corrupt
Speaker 1: and broken or government truly is. I think it opened
Speaker 1: a lot of eyes. He opened my eyes for sure,
Speaker 1: really changed my thinking on a lot of things politically.
Speaker 1: But ultimately, isn't this about the criminalization of free speech
Speaker 1: and wrong think? Oh yeah, I think this is one
Speaker 1: big intimidation play. And I think the way they handles
Speaker 1: January six, I said, I think the first week after
Speaker 1: the you know, after the riot at the Capitol, that
Speaker 1: this was going to be used as a way to
Speaker 1: surveil justification for more surveillance monitoring, intimidation. Uh, you saw
Speaker 1: what Justice Department did with this domestic Terror unit and
Speaker 1: expanding what actually qualifies as domestic terror. So I think
Speaker 1: they want Americans to think twice before they show up
Speaker 1: at a rally, or before they post online, before they
Speaker 1: open up a Christian school, before they go to a
Speaker 1: gun safety class. I mean, I I honestly think they're
Speaker 1: Their goal here is to make the average American compliant,
Speaker 1: compliant and and and and worried and with good and
Speaker 1: with good reason. I mean, when you know when you're
Speaker 1: trying to criminalize parents at school board meetings and call
Speaker 1: that and tackle a father who's daughter, who's whose daughter
Speaker 1: was raped in a bathroom. I mean, as you saw
Speaker 1: in that Loudon County video that I think changed the
Speaker 1: whole course of the gubernatorial race in Virginia. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is gestapo stuff. This is this is stuff that
Speaker 1: you know when I lived in the Soviet Union, when
Speaker 1: I was a student back at Dharmouth, and I saw
Speaker 1: that stuff in the Soviet Union, we were we were
Speaker 1: scared about who we talked to, and we were there
Speaker 1: because we knew we were being watched. Without getting too conspiratorial,
Speaker 1: I mean, how how much farther down the road do
Speaker 1: we have to get before we approach that territory? And
Speaker 1: I'm pretty fully convinced that we're probably a monitored to
Speaker 1: some degree, to be perfectly honest, but you know, I
Speaker 1: mean it's just if if you're you know, if we're
Speaker 1: being honest about it, Uh, they're they're probably tracking us,
Speaker 1: but you know, we're Republicans. Like Mitch mcco donald, I
Speaker 1: think he truly is stunned that the party has already
Speaker 1: left him. I honestly think he really can't believe that
Speaker 1: the party is not his party anymore. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if he's called Senate Majority leader. The people aren't with him.
Speaker 1: And I think it took him a while to grudgingly
Speaker 1: admit it. Obviously, in the aftermath of this raid on Trump,
Speaker 1: I think he was thinking Trump was finished. Trump was
Speaker 1: murmuring about coming back. But come on, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, I mean, the old Guard knows what's best
Speaker 1: for the people on trade and immigration and government spending.
Speaker 1: And I think he was truly shocked when, after he
Speaker 1: was outmaneuvered on that climate change bill, that the reaction
Speaker 1: to the Trump raid was unify the party around the
Speaker 1: guy who has the America First agenda, not around the
Speaker 1: guy who's allowed government to grow and who has never
Speaker 1: met a defense authorization that he doesn't like, which is
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. So I think I think he truly was
Speaker 1: shocked about that, and he was shamed into coming out
Speaker 1: and making the most flaccid of statements about this raid
Speaker 1: about oh we expected jose was Robert has to be
Speaker 1: very transparent about this. Yeah, no kidding, no kidding, They
Speaker 1: have to be transparent about it. But it took him.
Speaker 1: You know full twenty four hours to make any statement
Speaker 1: that he was only he was shamed into making that
Speaker 1: statement about the raid. But again it was a weak statement.
Speaker 1: So I think he's I think he's shocked. I think
Speaker 1: if they if you know, it's unlikely that they're going
Speaker 1: to win the Senate, at least if the races were
Speaker 1: held today, the Republicans shockingly might not win the Senate back.
Speaker 1: But if they did with the set it back, Mitch McConnell's,
Speaker 1: you know, position as a majority leader isn't a sure thing,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Speaking of that, what what impact do
Speaker 1: you think this has on the electorate heading into the
Speaker 1: mid terms. Well, the rate I think unifies the party.
Speaker 1: I think it has the danger of it has the
Speaker 1: danger of also stoking Democrat turn out because Trump's out
Speaker 1: there again and maybe he'll announce he's running for president again.
Speaker 1: And the concern is that they hate him so much
Speaker 1: that now they're people were going to turn out on
Speaker 1: Moss as well. But I'm not sure. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: really torn on and I don't know if I'll have
Speaker 1: a great answer to this, Lisa, because it's a tricky situation,
Speaker 1: given how precarious people's personal budgets are right now. I
Speaker 1: mean most people are digging into their savings at the
Speaker 1: middle income levels because their salaries aren't keeping up with inflation.
Speaker 1: I mean, somehow today they crode about how, oh inflation
Speaker 1: is only eight point were they're celebrating that? What were
Speaker 1: they celebrating pennies off of gas prices and everyone's paying
Speaker 1: double But it's like, oh, you saved twenty cents or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a great point. So I think that the media
Speaker 1: will continue to try to resurrect I should say resuscitate
Speaker 1: um Biden Biden's performance. Look, he's got these winds at
Speaker 1: all because the change we got the we got the
Speaker 1: chip bill. But celebrating winds on their own because they
Speaker 1: were bills were past, that doesn't translate into a better
Speaker 1: life for the average American. So we'll see how this
Speaker 1: all plays out. I tend to believe that it's going
Speaker 1: to make energy more expensive and imports of various component
Speaker 1: parts of solar panels, everything more more prevalent um. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to do much to certainly raise
Speaker 1: the standard of living of the average Americans. So I
Speaker 1: think their celebration or their attempt to burnish the Biden
Speaker 1: record or turn around his momentum. I think that's prem sure,
Speaker 1: but that's kind of all they have is spin. I
Speaker 1: don't think it necessarily means that people in November are
Speaker 1: gonna say, oh god, I want more of this. This
Speaker 1: has been fun, that has been great. Let's go out
Speaker 1: and vote for that guy when they you know, we
Speaker 1: have didn't talked about the border, but I think the
Speaker 1: immigration is under underpolled as a concern for people. Um,
Speaker 1: but I think when the school year starts, we're going
Speaker 1: to have a we're gonna have We're gonna have a
Speaker 1: lot more concerned parents out there. Well, it is hilarious
Speaker 1: that you've got people like Eric Adams, You've got Democrats
Speaker 1: who are saying, oh, you know, diversity is or strength
Speaker 1: for you to let them come in. We we need
Speaker 1: to take all of them. And then the second buses
Speaker 1: start showing up to New York City, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna overwhelm our schools, overwhelm our health care.
Speaker 1: And it's like, as Republicans were like, we've been saying this,
Speaker 1: like that's the whole point. Welcome to the club. I
Speaker 1: think you're right, and I think again, I think people
Speaker 1: people conflate Trump with with people's overall sense of happiness
Speaker 1: in the country. I mean, you know, Donald Trump to
Speaker 1: spend a friend of mine for twenty five years, and
Speaker 1: I I'm always very open about this on my on
Speaker 1: my show. But you know, we'll see whether that's what
Speaker 1: the country wants. I mean with the country country, I
Speaker 1: think is so exhausted, they're exhausted by the battle, the
Speaker 1: constant battle that they they may believe that, well, maybe
Speaker 1: it's time to turn the page if we can get
Speaker 1: someone who has all Trump's policies who's not Trump, right.
Speaker 1: So the other concern though, and I don't have a
Speaker 1: position on this one way or another, but the other
Speaker 1: problem is is that it's really not about Trump, right.
Speaker 1: This is about the views that Trump now brought to
Speaker 1: the fore for the Republican Party. They don't they don't
Speaker 1: like his views. They don't like the fact that he
Speaker 1: called out the military for failures, that he wanted us
Speaker 1: to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan, that he wanted
Speaker 1: to treat China and our trade relationship with China in
Speaker 1: a in a much I mean, it was smarter but
Speaker 1: much different way than the global is preferred and they
Speaker 1: certainly didn't like the fact that he sent all those
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants back to Mexico, that Romain in Mexico. I
Speaker 1: mean they don't. They think borders are immoral. They think,
Speaker 1: uh they owning, you know, owning big SUVs is immoral.
Speaker 1: They think eating too much beef is immoral, having air
Speaker 1: conditioning as immoral. These people think that the American way
Speaker 1: of life is immoral, and and it doesn't. It doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter in the end, whether it's Trump making the
Speaker 1: populous conservative points or whether it's the Santists or someone
Speaker 1: like him. They're going to come full bar against any Republican,
Speaker 1: even an establishment when they saw what they did to Romney.
Speaker 1: Romney was a caricature of Thurston Howell the Third by
Speaker 1: the time they got done with him back in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Trump is a is a is a placeholder
Speaker 1: right now for the ire and fury of the last.
Speaker 1: But anyone who steps into that breach is going to
Speaker 1: find the same find the same pain being thrust at
Speaker 1: him or her. Quick commercial break more with Matt Wall
Speaker 1: She's incredibly smart, really funny guy as well. I'm really
Speaker 1: looking forward to this conversation. I'm big fan of him,
Speaker 1: big fan of the documentary, and I hope you're a
Speaker 1: big fan of this interview. So that I watched the documentary,
Speaker 1: I loved it. I thought it was so good. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously you're a very intelligent person, but I also appreciated
Speaker 1: the sense of humor with it too, And I mean
Speaker 1: you got to laugh in the cloud world that we
Speaker 1: live in today, So I appreciated that. Yeah, well, you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's what we wanted to kind of bring out,
Speaker 1: is that there's on the complayer this issue. I guess
Speaker 1: you could say there's a lot of absurdity, and absurdity
Speaker 1: is funny, so it's it's appropriate to laugh at it.
Speaker 1: But then when you want to go below the surface,
Speaker 1: you find that h some really sinister of things going on.
Speaker 1: So if we could, our goal was to kind of
Speaker 1: get both of those things into the movie and then also,
Speaker 1: you know, make it like an actual piece of entertainment
Speaker 1: as well, even though it's dealing with a serious issues.
Speaker 1: So we're happy it's that part of it is resonating people.
Speaker 1: I mean I learned a laugh from it as well.
Speaker 1: So to your point, you know, it also gave across
Speaker 1: a lot of information that was important. What is a woman? Well,
Speaker 1: that's I feel like that's a spoiler. But if I
Speaker 1: if I had to get spoilers away, then you know,
Speaker 1: as we discovered, a woman is an adult human female.
Speaker 1: It really is as as simple as that. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could get in more specifics about each individual woman
Speaker 1: and talk about, you know, the personality traits of women individually,
Speaker 1: but it comes to the definition of the term. That's
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it. But it was so complicated for
Speaker 1: so many people to answer. And you've also got a
Speaker 1: book coming out its title What is a Woman? One
Speaker 1: Man's Journey to answer the question of a generation? But
Speaker 1: how did we get to this place in time where
Speaker 1: that that question such a simple question is the question
Speaker 1: of a generation? Yeah, I think it feels like this
Speaker 1: all was sort of sprung on us, maybe you know, seven,
Speaker 1: eight years ago, maybe ten years ago. That's the way
Speaker 1: it seems to most people. That just came out of
Speaker 1: nowhere and this became an issue, and this became a
Speaker 1: question at that point. But really, as we get into
Speaker 1: in the film, that goes back even further than that,
Speaker 1: and you could trace it back almost as far as
Speaker 1: you want, but we, uh, we take it back to
Speaker 1: what I think is a is a kind of landmark
Speaker 1: moment in the mid twentieth century when the general idealogy
Speaker 1: and its current form began to take take take shape. UM.
Speaker 1: And it's sort of started there and then made its
Speaker 1: way into our institutions, academia in particular, and that's where
Speaker 1: it lived, i think for the most part, for decades
Speaker 1: before it funneled down into the to the mainstream. UM.
Speaker 1: And at this point, it's just it's taken over all
Speaker 1: of our institutions, and through the institutions, taken over people's
Speaker 1: brains in a lot of ways. And even the people
Speaker 1: who still have their brains about them and their words
Speaker 1: about them, they are they're afraid. They're scared to tell
Speaker 1: the truth about this topic because of the powerful institutions
Speaker 1: that they know can punish them for speaking the truth. Well,
Speaker 1: and to that point, let's play this clip real quick,
Speaker 1: and then I want to get you on the other
Speaker 1: side of it. So you're saying, if you're not a
Speaker 1: woman and you shouldn't have an opinion, where does a
Speaker 1: guy get it right to say what a woman is?
Speaker 1: Women only know what women are? Are you a cat? No?
Speaker 1: Can you tell me what a cat is this is
Speaker 1: actually genuine mistake. I'm sorry if you look there so
Speaker 1: obviously walked right into that one. But to the point
Speaker 1: this person could obviously answer the question, they're they're choosing
Speaker 1: not to. So, you know, to what extent are we
Speaker 1: conditioning society this way? You know, talk about sort of
Speaker 1: that social conditioning that's going on right now. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: that person in the clip there, that was just one
Speaker 1: of the many ways that people have the proponents of
Speaker 1: this ideology they have they have no way of answering
Speaker 1: the questions, but they do have different ways of getting
Speaker 1: around them, trying to get around them any way and
Speaker 1: evade them. And one of the classic evasion tactics now
Speaker 1: is this thing that you heard from that person, which is, well,
Speaker 1: is the job only a woman is qualified even speak
Speaker 1: on this subject, And of course that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: And but even there are plenty of women who will
Speaker 1: say that a woman's on land dol human being palid
Speaker 1: according to gender audiologue, that's still not an acceptable answer
Speaker 1: you can come from a woman to the whole thing
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense, um, And it has been it
Speaker 1: has been a process of conditioning, and I think you
Speaker 1: know there there's kind of two part. There's two different
Speaker 1: types of conditioning. There's the intimidation, the fear tactics conditioning
Speaker 1: people that way. And these are especially adults, many adults
Speaker 1: who grew up in a basically same society, at least
Speaker 1: a society that the difference be men and women, but
Speaker 1: now are pretending they don't because they've been conditioned through
Speaker 1: fear to remain silent or to just take the party line.
Speaker 1: And then there's the other more insidious form of it,
Speaker 1: conditioning that happens to children who never had the opportunity
Speaker 1: to grow up in the same society. They grew up
Speaker 1: in the society we have now, and for them, it's
Speaker 1: like the Left gets to them very very early, before
Speaker 1: they understand the differences between reality and fiction and all
Speaker 1: of that, and they live in a fantastical world already
Speaker 1: in their heads because their imagine it their children, and
Speaker 1: the Left gets to them very young and takes advantage
Speaker 1: of that and just warps their minds from a young age.
Speaker 1: And that's what we're seeing play out right now in society. Well,
Speaker 1: and I think that's the saddest part of it. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: but it's parents too mean. J Lo took the stage
Speaker 1: announced they was joining her. It was only her daughter,
Speaker 1: so one person, which is slightly confusing, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's a fad right then New York posted an
Speaker 1: article recently with the transitioners and one person, a girl
Speaker 1: was named Chloe Cool, seventeen year olds to from California,
Speaker 1: and she talks about how like this really started her
Speaker 1: when she joined Instagram at eleven, and she says, I
Speaker 1: started being exposed to a lot of LGBT content activism,
Speaker 1: and what she liked about it was all the attention
Speaker 1: that these people were getting, the praise that they were getting.
Speaker 1: She didn't really have a lot of friends at the time,
Speaker 1: you know, so talk about social media's role in sort
Speaker 1: of driving the spikes and transitions we're saying in her youth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a huge part of it. And I think it's
Speaker 1: it's there's a couple of different things going on. They
Speaker 1: as you point out that Jeffer Lopez with the non
Speaker 1: binary daughter or whatever it is, Um, that's you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's not a coincident that all of the celebrities
Speaker 1: now have a non binary and trans kids and for
Speaker 1: them it's just a fashion statement, I think, and they
Speaker 1: use their kids like um like that, like fashion accessories,
Speaker 1: and so there's a lot of that going on with parents,
Speaker 1: which is really really terrible that parents treat their kids
Speaker 1: that way, but but they do, especially in Hollywood. Um.
Speaker 1: But then there's also you know, we we talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about rapid rapid onset gender dysphor you and
Speaker 1: that's the the child oftentimes not always, but but often
Speaker 1: most of the time, it's a girl, adolescent girl who
Speaker 1: was raised in a normal house and not certainly doing
Speaker 1: their parents are not on board with this at all,
Speaker 1: and everything is fine, and then and then they come
Speaker 1: up from school one day and they just announced, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm a boy. And that has happens happening all all
Speaker 1: over the country and many parents are going through this.
Speaker 1: And where do the kids pick it up from? Well,
Speaker 1: they pick it up from you know, they're friends at school.
Speaker 1: That's a big part of it, because they're they're in
Speaker 1: this environment physically every single day for like six or
Speaker 1: seven hours a day, five days a week, nine months
Speaker 1: a year, for twelve years where these ideas are being
Speaker 1: voice on them and there's always peer pressure and now
Speaker 1: it's trendy and cool to be you know, trands are
Speaker 1: not binary. It's like the worst thing you could be
Speaker 1: is just a normal quote unquote sist person as they
Speaker 1: call it now. Um. And then there they have that
Speaker 1: at school, but then they leave school, but they don't
Speaker 1: really leave school. They don't really leave the peer culture,
Speaker 1: peer environment because they have their phones and they have
Speaker 1: social media, and so they end up in this kind
Speaker 1: of fog that's follows them around and surrounds them all
Speaker 1: day long. And that's where social media becomes a big
Speaker 1: part of it. And I really think that it would
Speaker 1: be impossible to overstate just how much of a role
Speaker 1: social media plays in this, uh in getting these ideas
Speaker 1: directly into our kids minds. Well, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: with things like TikTok, it's intentional because obviously it's you know, China, right,
Speaker 1: trying to sort of infiltrate our country and destroyers from within. Uh.
Speaker 1: But you know, but the challenges that the tragedy of
Speaker 1: it is that, I mean, can you really de transition? Right?
Speaker 1: Like the New York Post that same interview interviewed another individual.
Speaker 1: She at twelve years old, she decided that she was transgender.
Speaker 1: She came out to her parents when I'm puberty blockers
Speaker 1: was prescribed to stosterone. At fifteen, she underwent a double massectomy,
Speaker 1: and then less than a year later, at sixteen, she
Speaker 1: realized she made a mistake. So, I mean, how do
Speaker 1: you go back at that point when you know you've
Speaker 1: already given your of a double missect To me, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that that's the concern here, is it? Like
Speaker 1: can you detraining? How do you even do that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think that, well, you can be transition mentally, which
Speaker 1: is important, but to kind of bring your mind back
Speaker 1: to reality and learn to accept yourself or you who
Speaker 1: you actually are. But that's the great tragedy is that
Speaker 1: the physical part of it can't cannot be undone. And
Speaker 1: that that applies to the surgeries. Obviously, you get a
Speaker 1: double missect. To me, there's no way of going back
Speaker 1: from that. You that body parts removed, obviously, But that
Speaker 1: also applies to the drugs to puberty blockers. There are
Speaker 1: there are permanent effects to puberty blockers, and the other
Speaker 1: side they just they just straight up lie about this
Speaker 1: and they lie to kids and they lie everybody, a
Speaker 1: lot of parents, and they say that this is it's temporary, reversible.
Speaker 1: It's not. I mean, there are permanent changes happening to
Speaker 1: the body. Um, starting with things like your your voice.
Speaker 1: I mean, you start taking the stuff that changes your voice,
Speaker 1: and those that change is permanent, and that's not a
Speaker 1: small change like that's a that's that's a defining feature
Speaker 1: of you. Is your voice, and that's gone forever. And
Speaker 1: change um changes to your you know, your bone structure,
Speaker 1: bone density, all kinds of physiological changes of having and sterilization.
Speaker 1: These drugs are also sterilizing kids permanently. And the question
Speaker 1: is whether a child under the age of consent can
Speaker 1: actually consent to having to undergoing these changes, whether they
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what they say, it doesn't matter if they
Speaker 1: verbally agree to take the drugs, can they actually consent?
Speaker 1: Can they um assent to this change happening to the
Speaker 1: body And and the answer is no, because that's the
Speaker 1: whole point of the age of consent, is that no
Speaker 1: matter what a kid says, they can't really understand the
Speaker 1: quote unquote choice they're making, and so there can't be
Speaker 1: any consent. Well, and to that point, I mean, this
Speaker 1: person was fifteen when she underwent a double mussectomy. I mean,
Speaker 1: if a parent went out and got their fifty year
Speaker 1: old breast implants, they would probably have their kids take
Speaker 1: it away, right, And that's or you could And there's
Speaker 1: so many other examples you can give, pressing plants, tattoo,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, the age where you can get a
Speaker 1: tattoo varies, but I think almost everyone would agree that
Speaker 1: fifteen is too young to go get a tattoo, especially
Speaker 1: if you know what, if you had a fifteen year
Speaker 1: old kid who wanted to get a big tattoo right
Speaker 1: across her forehead, like who who? Who would agree that
Speaker 1: that a fifteen year old should be able to make
Speaker 1: that choice? And if the fifteen year old went into
Speaker 1: the tattoo parlor and asked the tattoo guy for a
Speaker 1: tattoo across the forehead, and the tattoo artists actually did it,
Speaker 1: then we would blame that. We say he needs to
Speaker 1: put out of business for that. He needs to be fine,
Speaker 1: but I'll maybe arrested for doing that to a girl
Speaker 1: obviously to know what she was doing. Um, And you
Speaker 1: know who on the left thinks that fifteen year old
Speaker 1: should be able to buy guns or like do anything else. Right,
Speaker 1: So it just it just doesn't make any sense. It's
Speaker 1: not consistent. But that's that's the story with the left
Speaker 1: and gender ideology in general. It just contradicts itself at
Speaker 1: every turn. I mean, they want to change the age
Speaker 1: to buy a gun, to to do you one. And
Speaker 1: it's sick too because you've got these groups like the
Speaker 1: World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which you know, whatever,
Speaker 1: but they frequently recommended that hormones can start at fourteen,
Speaker 1: two years earlier than the previous advice, which you know,
Speaker 1: the right their advice is obviously BS. But and then
Speaker 1: some surgeries can be done at fifteen or seventeen. It's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, what does it say about a society that
Speaker 1: doesn't look at that and say, no, you know, we
Speaker 1: have to protect the kids. Well, we're totally lost and broken,
Speaker 1: uh society to begin with. And I mean as as
Speaker 1: I think lots of people know, you can judge a
Speaker 1: civilization by how it treats its children. So what does
Speaker 1: that say about ours? And what you mentioned there? The
Speaker 1: world whatever it's called w PATH, the Transgender Health Organization. Um,
Speaker 1: that's a very significant. The fact that they made that
Speaker 1: change and they lowered the age of the stuff is
Speaker 1: extremely significant. And the reason it's significant is that this
Speaker 1: organization w PATH is considered wrongly, but is consider there
Speaker 1: to be you know, a prominent authority figure on when
Speaker 1: it comes to quote unquote transgender health, and whatever they decree,
Speaker 1: whatever they declare, is immediately accepted by every other medical organization,
Speaker 1: the American Academy Pediatrics, you know, the American Psychological Association,
Speaker 1: all these different all the all these other medical associations,
Speaker 1: organizations that we that we think are valid and legitimate.
Speaker 1: UM consider w PATH to be itself valid and legitimate
Speaker 1: and to be the voice. Whatever they say is the
Speaker 1: gospel truth when it comes to gender and transgenderism. So yeah,
Speaker 1: if they say that fifteen is old, is old enough
Speaker 1: for surgery, then that's what it becomes. That's what the
Speaker 1: that's what the medical feeling general will adopt and accept,
Speaker 1: and that's what makes it so terrifying. Quick commercial break
Speaker 1: and back with country music star John Redge. So we've
Speaker 1: got country music star in the house, John Ridge. On
Speaker 1: this episode. I'm sure you've seen. He's got a new
Speaker 1: song called Progress where calls out all this wote crap
Speaker 1: that's ruining the country, ruining America, ruining everything that this
Speaker 1: country stands for, our values, freedom, liberty and just utter
Speaker 1: destruction is what the left is trying to do. So
Speaker 1: he's got a new song about that. And what's really
Speaker 1: cool is he released the song on Truth, Social and
Speaker 1: Rumble rather than going you know, the traditional route and
Speaker 1: guess what, it's sword to number one on the Apple
Speaker 1: iTunes chart within our So I love the fact he
Speaker 1: did that. He bypassed the machine and he beat the machine. Also,
Speaker 1: you know, it's really cool. So he he gives a
Speaker 1: percentage of all his proceeds from his Redneck Rivereria brand.
Speaker 1: He's got a bunch of things like, you know, barbecue, sauce, whiskey,
Speaker 1: all these different things. He gives a percentage of that too.
Speaker 1: Folds of honor. How cool is that? I love that
Speaker 1: he does that. So he's a good dude. He's had,
Speaker 1: you know, tremendous success in his career in country music
Speaker 1: and a variety of other things. He's got a bar
Speaker 1: in Nashville as well, so he's done a ton of stuff.
Speaker 1: Cool guy. We're going to talk to him about his
Speaker 1: new song and so much more. Stay with us for
Speaker 1: John Reach Country music star John Rich. It's such an
Speaker 1: honor to have you on the show. I wanted to
Speaker 1: tell you I really respect your bravery because we really
Speaker 1: do live in this society where you know, telling you
Speaker 1: the truth comes at a cost. Uh, So I appreciate
Speaker 1: the fact that you do that. Well, it's uh at
Speaker 1: this point, I don't know what what it serves anybody
Speaker 1: to keep your mouth shut and censor yourself. You know,
Speaker 1: we speak the truth, and if they want to sense
Speaker 1: you what, that's on them. But self censorship, to me,
Speaker 1: is a real problem in our country that people are
Speaker 1: so afraid to even even try it because somebody's going
Speaker 1: to call him a bad name or kick him off
Speaker 1: of a platform or whatever. So that should not be
Speaker 1: enough of a reason for you to sacrifice your own
Speaker 1: freedom of speech. And that's kind of the attitude I have,
Speaker 1: and that that's why coming like I do, well, I
Speaker 1: love it. And then that's why I wanted to have
Speaker 1: you on. You know. Dave Chappelle sa that recently and
Speaker 1: I love obviously he gets hit on the trans jokes
Speaker 1: he tells, and he said, the more you say I
Speaker 1: can't say something, the more urgent it is for me
Speaker 1: to say. And I feel like that's where we are
Speaker 1: right now, right and you get it obviously with the
Speaker 1: new song that we're going to get into of the
Speaker 1: fact that now is the time to speak out and
Speaker 1: now is the time to be bold. Well, can you
Speaker 1: imagine if the founding fathers had not spoken out? Can
Speaker 1: you imagine if you go back and look at the
Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence and those people that signed that document,
Speaker 1: they all knew that if the British Empire ever found them,
Speaker 1: they were gonna hang them, shoot them, burn their houses down,
Speaker 1: enslave their families, erased them from the history of the
Speaker 1: yearth That's what they were up against. And they signed
Speaker 1: it anyway. Old John Hancock, I wish I could have
Speaker 1: known that guy. He's like, give me that pen. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna sign a triple bid. Man, I'm gonna make sure
Speaker 1: they don't miss my name at all. That's the attitude
Speaker 1: that they had to found the country. Liberty or death
Speaker 1: was not a hashtag or a bumper sticker or a
Speaker 1: T shirt or a ball cap or a website. Liberty
Speaker 1: or death was the attitude that took to build the country,
Speaker 1: and they were willing to risk at all for future generations.
Speaker 1: Well who's the future generation? Uh, the ones of us
Speaker 1: talking right now on this podcast, all the people listening
Speaker 1: to this podcast. It's us that they were doing that for.
Speaker 1: So who are we to sit here as the benefactors
Speaker 1: of all the risk that they took to only go
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm not gonna say it because I
Speaker 1: might get kicked off at Twitter. I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: it because somebody give me a dirty look at work.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it because it might hurt my
Speaker 1: business a little bit. Really, that's what we're worried about.
Speaker 1: I think as Americans, we've got to remember whose shoulders
Speaker 1: were standing on that we need to act like it.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you said that, because I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I've always loved this country. I've always been proud to
Speaker 1: be American. But it really kind of took COVID it
Speaker 1: and some of the things that we've been dealing with
Speaker 1: as a society just to sort of revisit American history
Speaker 1: and realize what makes this country great, Realize how precious
Speaker 1: freedom is, liberty is, and how fleeting it is, because I,
Speaker 1: you know, really, before a lot of this stuff, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I I for whatever reason, thought somehow we
Speaker 1: were immune to some of this stuff because we are Americans.
Speaker 1: But but we're not. And we've really seen that, and
Speaker 1: it's as sad to see. Yeah, and Americans, a lot
Speaker 1: of Americans anyway, lack perspective. You know, it's been a
Speaker 1: long long time since our freedom was actually threatened, which
Speaker 1: in my opinion was World War Two. After last time
Speaker 1: it was actually threatened. If we hadn't beat Hitler and
Speaker 1: Mussolini and Imperial Japan, if we would have lost that war,
Speaker 1: you'd have a very different America today, very different. But
Speaker 1: they did what they had to do and and and
Speaker 1: won a war on both sides of the earth simultaneously
Speaker 1: to get us to the point we are today. But
Speaker 1: everybody that's alive today, nobody has any touchstone back to
Speaker 1: the World War two era. Nobody remembers that. I mean,
Speaker 1: all of our World War two bets now are in
Speaker 1: the late nineties hundred. Nobody's around that remembers that. And
Speaker 1: I think that the complacency has set in over these
Speaker 1: over these many decades, with Americans thinking, yeah, we're free,
Speaker 1: and we'll always be free and go America. But what
Speaker 1: we fail to realize is is there's all kinds of
Speaker 1: factions of people. There's international factions, but there's internal factions
Speaker 1: inside of our country that would really like to see
Speaker 1: this country come under control. You know, they'd really like
Speaker 1: to see America have to be on its knee so
Speaker 1: it has to reach up for help so they can
Speaker 1: take full control of the most powerful country in the world.
Speaker 1: That's really the point here, and we've been blind and
Speaker 1: deaf to it, just rolling on about our business thinking, now,
Speaker 1: that's not going on. Nobody would ever do that. Why
Speaker 1: would you want to mess up America? Nobody want to
Speaker 1: mess up America. We're the greatest, well we are the
Speaker 1: great it is, but there's a lot of people that
Speaker 1: to get what they want to see happen, come to fruition.
Speaker 1: America has got to be down on its knees for
Speaker 1: that to happen. And I believe that's where we found
Speaker 1: ourselves today. And instead of the great reset, I do
Speaker 1: believe it is a great awakening. As scary as it
Speaker 1: is and as nasty as it is to go through,
Speaker 1: I think that Americans from both sides of the political aisle,
Speaker 1: from all different walks of life, are all experiencing the
Speaker 1: same pain at the same time. And I said this
Speaker 1: to the day on Twitter. I said, America is finding
Speaker 1: unity in the pain right now. As bad as that
Speaker 1: is to say, if there's a silver lining to what's
Speaker 1: going on, Americans are finally waking up and going, hang
Speaker 1: on a minute, are these people trying to railroad our
Speaker 1: country because it's sure as hell looks like it and
Speaker 1: we're going to Yeah, I think that's what they're trying
Speaker 1: to do, and none of us want to see that happen.
Speaker 1: So it's an interesting time, and even it's the most
Speaker 1: important time I think right now to be out spoken,
Speaker 1: to not let them scare you into submission, do not
Speaker 1: take the knee. Uh, they've built their machine. There are
Speaker 1: ways around their machine. We can still exist and succeed
Speaker 1: and thrive without using their machines. And as an artist
Speaker 1: and an entrepreneur, gut, that's kind of what I'm out
Speaker 1: to prove to everybody that it can be done well.
Speaker 1: And I love that you did that, because you did
Speaker 1: that with this song Progress and we're gonna play a
Speaker 1: clip here just in a minute. But what I love
Speaker 1: about how you released it is you released it on Truth,
Speaker 1: Social and Rumble and within hours it's soared to the
Speaker 1: number one Apple Tunes chart, So you're able to beat
Speaker 1: the machine and do it your own way. And I
Speaker 1: love that I love that you did that way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was a risky thing to do. I
Speaker 1: can promise you that had I run that idea by
Speaker 1: the people I work with, my managers and people, really
Speaker 1: smart guys, they would have said, yeah, that's not a
Speaker 1: good way to probably have the most success, John, because
Speaker 1: think of all the people you're cutting out by not
Speaker 1: going to Twitter, face Book or YouTube. But the song
Speaker 1: says one of the lines says, they shut down our voices,
Speaker 1: they shut down our main street, they shut down our voices. Well,
Speaker 1: the voices who shut them down who I'm referring to
Speaker 1: are the liberal platforms YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and the like.
Speaker 1: And I thought, you know, it would be awful hypocritical
Speaker 1: of me to put a song out like this railing
Speaker 1: against those platforms no systems, but then use those same
Speaker 1: systems to go promote a song. I mean, to me,
Speaker 1: that just seemed like double talk, which I can't stand
Speaker 1: people that double talk. I thought, well, I may not
Speaker 1: have as good a chance of this thing going to
Speaker 1: number one, but I'll do it the right way, and hey,
Speaker 1: you never know, maybe I'll be surprised. And within six
Speaker 1: hours of launching this song only on true social and rumble.
Speaker 1: Within six hours, it had displaced Lizzo and Billie Eilish
Speaker 1: out of the number one in two spots and progress.
Speaker 1: And this is with no record label, no marketing funds, nothing,
Speaker 1: no in diustry support whatsoever. In six hours, it's said
Speaker 1: at number one. And I just looked at that and went,
Speaker 1: holy cow, look at that. It's possible. And it kind
Speaker 1: of speaks to where people are, right because obviously this
Speaker 1: struck a chord with people. People listen to the song
Speaker 1: and they said, I feel this, this is how I
Speaker 1: feel right now, which is why it was able to
Speaker 1: rise to number one. So I mean, I think a
Speaker 1: lot of Americans listen to it. I know I did
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, I agree, this is where we are.
Speaker 1: Like does the phrase ding ding ding come into play
Speaker 1: when you hear that? It does. Also, it was funny
Speaker 1: when you're talking about how you know, if you ran
Speaker 1: the idea by your team, they you don't really strike
Speaker 1: me as the kind of guy, you know, even if
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, John, this isn't in your interest, you
Speaker 1: don't really strike me as the kind of guy to
Speaker 1: you know, say all right, we're not going to do it.
Speaker 1: Strike as the kind of guy who's going to do it. Anyways,
Speaker 1: if you think it's the right thing, you would be
Speaker 1: correct in that assumption, especially now. I think listen, theer's
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of songwriters, singers, movie users,
Speaker 1: all kinds are really talented people that have content that
Speaker 1: they know if they put it on the big platforms,
Speaker 1: it's gonna get it's gonna get cut down. They just
Speaker 1: know it, and then they're right about that. So this
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I'm gonna be a Daniel Boone here
Speaker 1: for a minute. I'm gonna pioneer out here for a second.
Speaker 1: And instead of taking advantage of all these platforms, let's
Speaker 1: just don't do it and see if we can see
Speaker 1: if we can compete at a really high level without
Speaker 1: using them. Is it even possible? And that that's a
Speaker 1: hell of a question. And we just proved yes, it's
Speaker 1: not only possible, you can you can thrive with that.
Speaker 1: And what I found is that the the outpouring of
Speaker 1: support is maybe even more at this point because they realized, man,
Speaker 1: he didn't go, he didn't go with those big machines.
Speaker 1: He didn't yell at the machine and then use the machine.
Speaker 1: He yelled at the machine and then walked away from
Speaker 1: the machine and still one. And I think people appreciate that.
Speaker 1: I hope other content creators look at this and go, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's possible, because I can promise you true social rumble.
Speaker 1: Those platforms they are they are wanting to hit the
Speaker 1: gas pedal behind content creators that are putting out really,
Speaker 1: really excellent pieces. They want to get behind them and
Speaker 1: blow them up. If we're in a culture war, which
Speaker 1: we are, how do you keep track if you're making
Speaker 1: any progress or not to play upon on that word,
Speaker 1: the real progress, Well, if you can take pieces away
Speaker 1: from them, take away their prize property. And in the
Speaker 1: world of music, the most prize property out there is
Speaker 1: the number one sales position. That's the big one, because
Speaker 1: there's no bigger vote of confidence than for somebody to
Speaker 1: hit that download button and they spend a buck twenty nine.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not a free stream or something like that.
Speaker 1: They have to play a little bit of buck twenty nine,
Speaker 1: but they do it and they download it. That's the
Speaker 1: ultimate confirmation that you're having impact. That's the price property
Speaker 1: that the music industry has. So for us to be
Speaker 1: sitting there right now is a huge statement. I so
Speaker 1: respect you doing that. And I want to play a
Speaker 1: clip right now for the for the audience at home.
Speaker 1: Let's play clip. There's a whole in this country where
Speaker 1: it's harder to be. No wole is divided on the
Speaker 1: barrens tree they see feeling back make America. If that's
Speaker 1: what we've loved, the future own gods say, stick your
Speaker 1: where the song keep. I love that line there's a
Speaker 1: hole in this country where the heart used to be.
Speaker 1: Because I think a lot of us Americans, you know,
Speaker 1: that's basically this conversation we've been having is how do
Speaker 1: people not love this country? You know, we live in
Speaker 1: the greatest country in the world, and we're just sitting
Speaker 1: there watching all these people on the left have no
Speaker 1: respect for it and no respect for the people who
Speaker 1: have laid down their lives to preserve the freedoms that
Speaker 1: we have now. And it's just like to your point,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a hole in this country where it's
Speaker 1: hard used to be as hell love it When they
Speaker 1: get arrested in Russia, don't they You find yourself in
Speaker 1: handcuffs in a in a socialist, communist country and you're
Speaker 1: begging your country to take you back. When you just
Speaker 1: got through trash in our flag on a national platform
Speaker 1: and talking smack about the red, white, and blue up
Speaker 1: in front of God and everybody. But you get yourself
Speaker 1: in a bind in a communist country, and who are
Speaker 1: you calling daddy? You're calling your mama, Hey, come get
Speaker 1: me out. I can't be stuck here. Really, I think
Speaker 1: you're where you wanted to be. You know, you trash.
Speaker 1: You trash the country you live in. You don't respect that,
Speaker 1: you don't appreciate it. Now you're finding out what other
Speaker 1: countries are all about. Oh yeah, you don't have freedom
Speaker 1: over there, do you know you don't. You got to
Speaker 1: due process? No, no, you don't. Uh that to me,
Speaker 1: that is such a poignant thing to see that athlete
Speaker 1: arrested in uh, in communist Russia, UH and watch her
Speaker 1: beg for America to come bail her out after she
Speaker 1: just got through trash in US. I said earlier Lisa
Speaker 1: that a lot of Americans lacked perspective. What I mean
Speaker 1: by that, they haven't been around the world. I've had
Speaker 1: the I've had the ability to travel all over the
Speaker 1: planet and sing music everywhere. I've sang it in I've
Speaker 1: sing it in Central America, the Middle East of singing
Speaker 1: it in places in Europe, South America, Asia. I've been
Speaker 1: all over the place and you see people living in
Speaker 1: situations and you go, now, I can't wait to get
Speaker 1: back home. I mean, wow, I can't believe people dealing
Speaker 1: with this every single day of their life and you
Speaker 1: get back home. Go. Man. We're not perfect, but we
Speaker 1: are head and shoulders above everybody else. And that's why
Speaker 1: everybody wants to live in America. That's why we got
Speaker 1: lines coming in and no lines going out, and we
Speaker 1: never will have lines going out ever in this country.
Speaker 1: And so they lacked perspective until they ultimately get it,
Speaker 1: which is what that athletes having right now, a big
Speaker 1: dose of perspective. Please conveil me out, America. I don't
Speaker 1: hate you anymore. I ain't. Okay, it's a little late
Speaker 1: for that, sister, but uh okay, yeah, it's a little
Speaker 1: if that. And it also just shows these people have
Speaker 1: no idea what they're talking about, right, Like they want
Speaker 1: to hate on America at your point, they don't have
Speaker 1: that perspective, you know, they have no idea, They have
Speaker 1: no idea what the alternative looks like. And we certainly
Speaker 1: don't want to find out, John Rich, You're awesome. Anything
Speaker 1: you want to leave us with before we go, I
Speaker 1: just hope people keep their chin up. I hope people, uh,
Speaker 1: they catch a big case of courage. I hope that
Speaker 1: they on their level wherever they are with their neighbors
Speaker 1: and people they talk to and hang around with. You
Speaker 1: need to be bold, you need to speak your mind,
Speaker 1: and you need to realize that there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people out there, um that will follow suit if they
Speaker 1: see you doing it first. Somebody's got to be the
Speaker 1: point of the spirit, even down to the down to
Speaker 1: the very neighborhood and street that you live on. Remember
Speaker 1: that you're American, Remember whose shoulders you're standing on, and
Speaker 1: act like it. And if we do that, we'll get
Speaker 1: our country straightened out. That's awesome, and go check out
Speaker 1: his new song Progress, John Redg. I really respect you,
