1
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: News flash, Biden lied and now millions of Americans are

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: paying the price. Again. Not sure where we've heard that

3
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: headline before. Also, illegals may be exploiting our insurance systems.

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: A new bombshell report sent by Congressional Republicans over to

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: the DOJ and straight people do they exist? Well not

6
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: according to this Brockway star, which is kind of a

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: hilarious story. All that more coming up on this episode

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: of Turning Point Tonight. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: so much for tuning in. Together. We are charting the

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: course of America's cultural comeback. This is Turning Point tonight.

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: And before we get to any of those stories and

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: to our fantastic panel, we've got to turn our gaze

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: yet again to the hilariously misrun state of corrupt Defornia. Sorry, California.

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't know where it's Freudian slip or something like that.

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: California was put on blast by the Trump administration in

16
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: a recent report issued by the Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.

17
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: In the three hundred and ten page report, it outlined

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 1: how bad of a deal the California High Speed Rail

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: train project is. If you don't know about this first

20
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: of all, you should The California High Speed Rail Project

21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: is no longer a high speed rail, but was approved

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: by voters in two thousand and eight to be an

23
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: eight hundred mile rail that was supposed to be completed

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty for three thirty three billion dollars. It

25
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: included a stretch of around five hundred miles that went

26
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: from San Diego to Sacramento, the entire stretch of the state.

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: Since then, in twenty nineteen, Governor Gavin Newsom LIB came

28
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: out and said, well, okay, so it's not done by

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty because I'm looking around and there's there's really

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: no track laid. And actually, instead of going the five

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: hundred mile stretch, it's gonna go one hundred and seventy

32
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: one miles from Merced to Bakersfield. And if you're around

33
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: the country going what the heck is Merced in Bakersfield,

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: that's what we in California think too not popular cities

35
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: for people to have to travel between. And yet California

36
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: the ballooning price is now up to seventy seven billion dollars.

37
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: So it increased in price, it decreased in value, it

38
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: extended the time frame, and for some reason we're still

39
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: doing it. Thankfully. Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, is saying, hey,

40
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: no more federal money going to this program, or at

41
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: least we're looking at canceling all the federal money going

42
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: to this program. You have until July eleventh to justify

43
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: why you need more money, to which I said, why

44
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: is there any federal money going to this? Turns out

45
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of federal money going to this. Since

46
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: twenty ten, the federal government has given California seven billion

47
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: dollars and not a single foot of new track has

48
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: been laid. I wonder why they call it corrupt Defornia.

49
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: Aside from that, I would just like to point out

50
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: personally by myself, if you need zero feet of track laid,

51
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: I'll do it for half. That's right. American taxpayers get

52
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: a discount three point five billion dollars and I will

53
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: lay zero feet of train in the state of California.

54
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: Here the comments on that and so much more. As

55
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: Box contributor Siaka Massacoy and conservative commentator Lily Kate, guys,

56
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Even though I'm here

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: in California, it feels corrupt, but I appreciate.

58
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: Having you, thanks for having us man.

59
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Siakas as a California refugee. I hope I don't. I

60
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: hope that's okay to put that out there. But as

61
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: a person who lived here, you know, I've been looking around.

62
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the train, and it was supposed to

63
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: be done in twenty twenty. They push it to twenty

64
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: thirty three. New reports are now saying we're probably not

65
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: even gonna make that deadline. What gifts, I mean to

66
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: California's just at this point deserve this?

67
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: Uh no, we don't.

68
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: But here's the fun part, because I actually I voted

69
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: for that back in eight when I was still in

70
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: LA And a little caveat is that we're actually still

71
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: been paying taxes for that this entire time. So not

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: only have they been getting federal money, but they've made well,

73
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: which is technically our money anyway, but they've been getting

74
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: our money directly from the state of California for a

75
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: train to nowhere. Oh my goodness. If the scam wasn't

76
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: so real, you wouldn't believe it. In the movie guys,

77
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: all I heard there.

78
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: Is was Siaka's fault. Siaka is the reason that this

79
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: train that exists, and it exist, I mean doesn't exist, Lily.

80
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: I think one of the biggest most interesting things about

81
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: this is Gavin Newsom is out there saying, well, look

82
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: hold on, we're past all of the environmental studies and

83
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: the land purchases. In other words, the hard part is

84
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: behind us. This is a big tack that lives are

85
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: now trying to take. They're talking about, well, we're going

86
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: to do abundance by cutting red tape, which ironically is

87
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: the red tape that they put in place. Are they

88
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna get away this politically speaking?

89
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 4: Do you think, well, they're gonna get away with it

90
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 4: because California is just going to keep making the same

91
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: mistakes over and over again. What is it with Blue

92
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 4: states and not being able to keep railways effectively functioning.

93
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: I mean, look at the New York subway system. We

94
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: know it's a total disaster. It's where so much degeneracy

95
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: and danger and violence occur. Like every single day, every

96
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: day I go on X and I see another clip

97
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: of someone doing something heinous on any kind of subway

98
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: in a major city, and so I'm just wondering what

99
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: it is.

100
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 5: From Pete Buddha Jeedge having his obsession with.

101
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 4: Trains from California, double dipping into California taxpayers money and

102
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 4: also federal workers and federal funds for this railway. I'm

103
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 4: just wondering why the obsession with trains in America, because

104
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 4: clearly we're not that good at it, So just wondering there.

105
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: I think it's the former president's obsessions with trains. It's

106
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: a here comes the train, open wide. Here's the Jello

107
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: type of situation there. Speaking of CORR option, this I

108
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: thought was fascinating and super unreported, or at least I'm

109
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: not hearing many people talk about this. Illegals coming into

110
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: the country are apparently exploiting some of the insurance policies

111
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: or schemes. According to House Republicans. Mike Collins, who leads

112
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: a House Republican Commission against the Coalition against Insurance Frauds,

113
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: submitted a report to Pambondi and the DOJ saying, Hey,

114
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: there are a bunch of illegals in this country that

115
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: are staging commercial truck accidents in order to collect on

116
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: insurance and then repay the coyotes for getting them across

117
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: the border. Lily, this it's one of those where like

118
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: insurance fraud is something that we should always be fighting,

119
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: and the fact that illegals are now doing it just

120
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: seems to compound on the thing that we should already

121
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: trying to be stopped. So, I mean, I don't know

122
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: why I haven't seen anything about this. Maybe you have.

123
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: Is this getting the coverage that you think it deserves.

124
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 4: Well, I think we need to be talking about this more,

125
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 4: and not for the issue of insurance fraud, because that's

126
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: a big issue, yes, and should be covered.

127
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 6: But I'm just amazed.

128
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: At the fact that people coming into America are such

129
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: theater kids. I mean, staging a car accident to make

130
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: sure that you get insurance money that you can exploit

131
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 4: the system. That's a pretty daring thing that you do,

132
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 4: that you can do.

133
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: To just exploit the system.

134
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: So I'm shocked, And this needs to be covered for sure,

135
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: because theater kids are getting violent and dangerous and they

136
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: need to be channeling that into musicals like Le Miz

137
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: and Phantom of the Opera, not at our federal government.

138
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if we

139
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: need more of those too. But also I understand your

140
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: point Siaka as a as a theater kid, you know

141
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: you know not to go into your background, but yes,

142
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting. This was from Breitbart. Oh

143
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: actually sorry, this was from the actual report. They list

144
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: a specific individual who was an illegal immigrant from Ecuador

145
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: who filed a workers' compensation claims two months after arriving

146
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: in the US. Then we use the fifteen thousand dollars

147
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: in litigation loans and six thousand dollars from workers comp

148
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: to subtle a twenty one thousand dollars payments to the

149
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: coyote that got him across the board. I say this

150
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: all the time. Cartels are evil, They're not stupid, and

151
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: being able to exploit is one of the biggest loopholes.

152
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: I feel like we have to close.

153
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, let me channel my theater kid.

154
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 6: Color.

155
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: That's my shocked and I can't believe that people who

156
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: criminally came into the country would commit more criminality. Oh

157
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 3: my goodness, how is that even possible. Look, this is

158
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: all just part of the big scheme to strip America

159
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 3: of its wealth, to break us down to kneecap us

160
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: if you will, they open this border, they opened up

161
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: everything else. We saw a guy just fire bombing people

162
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: when they're walking on the street. We see people all

163
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: the time participating in those peaceful protests at college's college campuses.

164
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: They don't even go to school there, So I am

165
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 3: not surprised. We're gonna there's still more to shake out

166
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 3: in this, uh during a Biden regime that we we

167
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: saw and didn't even know if he was actually functioning during.

168
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 3: So no, I'm not shocked at all. I'm just uh,

169
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: and I'm not really surprised that mainstream media isn't talking

170
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 3: about it, because remember, illegals don't don't commit crimes.

171
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: It's only Americans.

172
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: It's only Americans.

173
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, illegals are are They're they're known for not committing

174
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: any crimes, following every single rule, and uh yeah, that's

175
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: that's what the lib mindset things. Speaking of the lib mindset,

176
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: I thought this was hilarious. A Broadway performer someone named

177
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: Renee rap I don't know who this person is, but

178
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: they did an interview with Cosmopolitan in which the interview

179
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: was just unhinged lily. She said that as a part

180
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: of the entire interview, she said, it will straight people

181
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: don't exist. They're not They're not real, which is interesting

182
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: because I remember getting in trouble for something trans people

183
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: don't exist, even though I've never actually said that, I've

184
00:09:52,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: been accused of saying that. Uh. I.

185
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 4: Well, what we do know about her as a theater

186
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 4: kid as well is she actually was on Mean Girls,

187
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 4: the musical, so she really just took that and applied

188
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: that to real life. But she has continually said that

189
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 4: the people that surround her, or the people in her

190
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 4: community are not straight, and so it very much well,

191
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 4: it very might well be true that in her community

192
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 4: there are actually no straight people, because as we know,

193
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 4: Broadway is full of people who are all various types

194
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: of sexuality and not straight. So wouldn't be surprised if

195
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 4: she actually legitimately doesn't know a straight person. But she

196
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: lives in a lesbian fratthouse, she says, which I'd hate

197
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: to have all of those lesbians get synced up because

198
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 4: that'd be a whole lot of drama.

199
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: We don't need to go into what that means, but

200
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: if you know what it means, it's funny. Siaka the

201
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: Also in the interview, she said, we have an intersectional

202
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: group of b words at the house playing Rage Cage

203
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday for no reason. It is kind of bragging. Now,

204
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what hell is supposed to look like.

205
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: But if you can find a better description, let me know.

206
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: I feel like that's that seems like my hell.

207
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: I think that's in uh. I want to say it's

208
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 3: in the Isaiah. I forget which one, so you may

209
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: want to check that out. But I found it funny

210
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: from the article about the lesbian frat house. So I'm like,

211
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 3: that means you guys are fighting and beating each other

212
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: other up more than any other relationship. You're probably breaking

213
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 3: up every other day, you're fall in love every other day,

214
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: and you're moving in and out of each other's rooms

215
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 3: every other day. So it's got to be nice and chaotic.

216
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: I would love to see that as the new Big

217
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: Brother show. I would actually finally watch That's just me

218
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: hit them.

219
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: With the stereotypes. Love it. Siack and Lily will be

220
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: right back after the break to discuss President Biden lying

221
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: to millions of Americans and now millions of Americans are

222
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: paying the price. Again not a headline that is unusual

223
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: to us, but I do think the fallout that is

224
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: now tangible is fascinating. No, boy, we be right back

225
00:11:53,160 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: after the break. Welcome back to turning Point tonight. We're together,

226
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. My

227
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: name is job Bob. Thanks so much for sticking with us.

228
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: Let's check in with Turning Points. White House correspondent Monica

229
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: Page at the White House, Monica, sounds like a busy

230
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: day care to fill us in on all of the

231
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: things going on. It says like a busy day at

232
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: the White House. And yet I repeat myself, What's what's

233
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: going on? What's your top story of the day.

234
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, busy day as always here at the White House. Well,

235
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 5: as we know, President Trump signed a proclamation to increase

236
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 5: the teriff rate on steel and aluminum from twenty five

237
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 5: percent to fifty percent. Now, these are this is all

238
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 5: in efforts to kind of curb the competition and to

239
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 5: kind of bolster our national security as it pertains to

240
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 5: competition as well. Now, the key countries that are involved

241
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 5: in this that will be seeing these increase in rates

242
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 5: are China, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, Canada, and also Russia.

243
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 5: Russia also in recent news speaking of the country, Vladimir

244
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 5: Putin spoke on the phone with President Trump this afternoon

245
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 5: for about an hour and fifteen minutes long, discussing the

246
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: attacks on both sides, and President Trump took to truth

247
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 5: social to say it was a good conversation, but not

248
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 5: one of peace just yet. So of course it's not

249
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 5: going to be of immediate peace. But Vladimir Putin also

250
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: said that he feels that he needs to retaliate against

251
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 5: the most recent strikes from Ukraine on Russian soil, on

252
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 5: Russian land, against those Russian drones. So we'll also see

253
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 5: what comes out of that. And also the two had

254
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 5: a conversation regarding Iran and its nuclear capabilities, making sure

255
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 5: that Iran never gets a hold of nuclear weapons. So

256
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 5: pretty hefty conversation this afternoon. But again, baby steps towards peace.

257
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 5: We'll see if that happens. But still those negotiating talks

258
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 5: are on the table.

259
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of stuff that was coming out of the

260
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: White House. Last White House administration, there was an identity

261
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: hire the first woman, black, lesbian immigrant to be the

262
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Press secretary of the White House, and she was very,

263
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: very bad at what she did. Her job was to

264
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: light to the American people, and she was very awful

265
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: at doing it. Not that that's a good thing in regards,

266
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: but just bad at the job. But Kareem John Pierre

267
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: is out with the new book. In order to promote

268
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: that book, she's got a special announcement. Can you fill

269
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: us in on what that is.

270
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 5: Well, for someone who never wanted to put herself in boxes,

271
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 5: she's certainly putting herself in one by now coming out

272
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 5: as an independent and all promoting her new book coming

273
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 5: out October twenty first, So be sure to check out

274
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 5: your local bookstore and look for that one called Independent.

275
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 5: A Look Inside a Broken White House. Now, it's interesting

276
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 5: that she's calling this a broken White House considering that

277
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 5: she was one of the main players and breaking that

278
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 5: White House and lying to the American people every day

279
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 5: that the president was fit to serve and then he's

280
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 5: a sharp and he's with it, and his poor debate

281
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 5: performance was because he had a cold and that he

282
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 5: was jet legged over and over and over again. So

283
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 5: pretty interesting timing because it seems like it's political theater.

284
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 5: She really wants to sell her book, and if she's

285
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 5: really wanting to be an independent, she should be kind

286
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 5: of dismantling this administrative state rather than rebranding herself as

287
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 5: somebody who has been a trade like who's taken advantage

288
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 5: of from the Democrat Party and someone who you know

289
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 5: has also been hoodwinked by the Democrat Party. It's not

290
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 5: necessarily a good look for the Press secretary, but nonetheless

291
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 5: kind of on brand considering what we dealt with over

292
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 5: the last four years.

293
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't really even want to promote the

294
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: new book because I don't really want her to make

295
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: money off of this. But at the same time, I'm

296
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: fascinated about this because if at any point during the

297
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: book she says anything that looks like she have deliberately

298
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: lied on behalf of the president to the American people,

299
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: is that grounds for treason? Like is she able to

300
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: be tried for something like that? Like, I don't know,

301
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: is there any I mean anything else of the the

302
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: in the press circuit that is kind of like rolling

303
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: their eyes at this or is it just conservative media generally?

304
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 5: I think this is taking both sides by storm. I mean,

305
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 5: I've overheard some conversations from the Democrat Party as some

306
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 5: of the mainstream media members here who are kind of

307
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 5: not shaken up per se, but are definitely following this

308
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 5: and are definitely interested to see what she has to say.

309
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 5: Of course, I'm sure they're all going to be you know,

310
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 5: bracing them else for the big announcement in this book

311
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 5: if there raven is one, because I'm sure they'll be

312
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: on the chopping block too if it is revealed that

313
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 5: they were lying.

314
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would also imagine a lot of them are going,

315
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: oh geez, I hope she doesn't put me in there

316
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: because I was lying to Monica Page during points of

317
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: White House Correspondent. Thanks so much for joining us. Really

318
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks so much, jobob, thank you. Speaking of

319
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: the last administration, I don't know if you remember this,

320
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: but the President of the United States, Joe Biden, kept

321
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: saying we're gonna cancel your student loan debt. Now, that

322
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: was unconstitutional. He knew it was unconstitutional, and it was

323
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: told it was unconstitutional by the Supreme Court twice, and

324
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: yet he still continued to say, don't worry, We're gonna

325
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: repay your student loan debt with By the way, is

326
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: the least progressive thing that progressives have ever advocated for.

327
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: People who attend college generally make more money than the

328
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: average American household, and so effectively, the progressives we're going

329
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: to try and bail out the people that make more

330
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: money by using the people who make less Money's tax

331
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: again doesn't make sense to me at all. But as

332
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: a part of that one in four Americans, one in

333
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: four student loan debt repaying Americans are now behind on

334
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: their payments. I can only assume it's probably because the

335
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: former president was saying, don't worry about it, and they're

336
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: getting thrown off guard. Let's bring our panel back. Siaka

337
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: and Lily are here, guys. Siaka, I think, look, I

338
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: don't necessarily it's hard because I want to have sympathy

339
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: for somebody who's like, oh, shoot, I bought what the

340
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: President of the United States said, but at the same time, like,

341
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: you got to pay back with you? Oh, like that

342
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: that makes sense. I don't know where do you? Where

343
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: do you? What are you thinking about when you're hearing

344
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: stuff like this.

345
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, Thank goodness, I was good at football and

346
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: I got a free scholarship the college. But it's also

347
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 3: a sign of Look, Mandy, a lot of these people,

348
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: and unfortunately a whole lot of women on the left,

349
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 3: they decided to go to school, get into hundreds of

350
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: thousand dollars of debt, and take basket weaving, underwater mermaid

351
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: BIPOC studies and it's like, you know, that's probably not

352
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: going to help you pay back these loans.

353
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 2: But you know, we got the adults back in the room.

354
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: Daddy's back, Daddy Trump, and he's gonna want to find

355
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 3: out why these bills are where they are. I think

356
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: it's time. This is going to be a hard transition

357
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: for people. But we can't be living enough the government anymore.

358
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: Let's go it.

359
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: Let it be known here that Siaka says that mermaids

360
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: are in fact bipocs, which has a big topic of

361
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: conversation on the conservative side not all that long ago.

362
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 3: I wanted to clear off Claire up both sides in

363
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 3: one one statement, and you got it. I appreciate that.

364
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: Nice work, bro Lily.

365
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: This is like, okay again, it's hard to have sympathy

366
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: because you got to pay what you owe. But at

367
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: the same time, a fourth of people are behind, which

368
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: is causing huge hits to their credit scores up to

369
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: like two hundred points going down. You know, is anybody

370
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: going to pay a political price for this because Joe

371
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: Biden obviously is irrelevant nowadays, but there were so many

372
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: people out there telling everybody you don't have to pay this,

373
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay this. You don't have to

374
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: pay this, and when people don't pay it, you know,

375
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: bad things happen. I don't know what are we supposed

376
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: to do about this.

377
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a tough one because the people who

378
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 4: are going to suffer are not the ones who have

379
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: to foot the bill. At the end of the day,

380
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 4: say we don't have to pay, you know, because of

381
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 4: what Biden has done and said, and if even if

382
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 4: we do pay, it's coming out of our tax dollars anyway.

383
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 4: The people who are really going to pay for this, though,

384
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 4: is whenever these people are on first dates and the

385
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 4: question comes up, do you have any debt? What kind

386
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: of debt do you have? It's gonna be a really

387
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 4: uncomfortable conversation when they have to say, yeah, my credit

388
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 4: score is at a three hundred and I'm multiple payments

389
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 4: behind on my student loan debt because the Biden administration

390
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: reliably told me that I don't need to pay them anymore.

391
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 4: So I think that's going to be a really uncomfortable conversation.

392
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 4: And at that point, you know, each person can take

393
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: it as it comes. But if I was a man

394
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 4: dating a woman who was so far behind on payments

395
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 4: and had such a bad credit score. That'd be some

396
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 4: thing I'd consider, not only because of the financial implications

397
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 4: of that, but about that person's general intelligence. You say,

398
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 4: you hear something that the president says and then you

399
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 4: stop paying a loan that you have. Yeah, imagine, let's

400
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 4: replace college with a car or a house. If you

401
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 4: heard from Donald Trump. Yeah, nobody has to pay their

402
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 4: loans on cars if they're not if they're American vehicles anymore?

403
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 4: Do you really stop paying your car loan? Do you

404
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: think your credit agency or whoever's giving you your loan

405
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 4: is going to forgive you for that? Don't be dumb,

406
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 4: I mean, really, truly, don't be dumb. It says a

407
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 4: lot about your general intelligence if you just stop paying

408
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 4: because the President tells you to.

409
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, seriously, it's it's it's kind of a problem.

410
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: And while I don't disagree with anything you said, Lily,

411
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: if you're ongoing on first dates and the questions are, hey,

412
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: where did you grow up? Also, what's your credit score?

413
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: It's hard to put myself mentally there on a first

414
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: date scenario.

415
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 3: A pretty responsible guy down if he's worried about your

416
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: credit score, lock it down.

417
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 6: Well, here's the thing.

418
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: I recently had a conversation with some influencers in the

419
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 4: conservative space and they asked me, when is it appropriate

420
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 4: to ask how much a guy makes? And I said,

421
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 4: you really shouldn't do that on the first date.

422
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 6: Definitely, but you should.

423
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 4: At least kind of you know, back into the conversation

424
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 4: of Okay, what's your credit score?

425
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 6: Because that really does tell you a lot about a person.

426
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 4: And you got to know, you got to assume you're

427
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 4: being lied to because everyone's putting their best foot forward

428
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: on those first dates, and you know even on the

429
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 4: second and third dates, and you just got to you

430
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 4: got to do your work, trust, but verify.

431
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: I would never lie about my credit score, but it's

432
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: well over two thousand. Speaking of people who speaking of

433
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: people who are outside of their minds, I thought this

434
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: was fascinating just from the mindset of libs. Right, there's

435
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: this whole thing taco they're calling it. Trump always chickens out.

436
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: They're regarding the tariffs siaka. In my mind, they're mad

437
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: when he puts tariffs on, but then when he gets

438
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: what he wants and then make tariffs off, they go, ha,

439
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: you chickened out. You're chickened out. I don't understand the

440
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: thinking here, and I would love to hear your thoughts.

441
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: And while we have those thoughts, I also want to

442
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: show this picture of Jamie Raskin that he posted for

443
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: Taco Tuesday. That is a disgusting taco. Nobody should be

444
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: forced to eat something like that. But Siaka, what do

445
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: you think about this whole situation?

446
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 3: So the Democrats have been talking about and just spent

447
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 3: twenty million dollars trying to figure out how to talk

448
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: to American men. Hey, let me help you out for

449
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 3: JoJo's price of at least half of that.

450
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 2: You, guys, this isn't it.

451
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: This isn't it.

452
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're thinking and who your think

453
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: tech was to come up with this one, but this,

454
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: this is not it. This is the most cringey ish

455
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: that I've seen in so long. These guys are just,

456
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 3: oh my go what the these guys just to get

457
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: pushed in the lockers back in the nineties when bullying

458
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 3: was still cool and it may happen again, guys, because

459
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 3: this isn't it.

460
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,120
Speaker 2: I don't this isn't it.

461
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: Seriously well, Lily, and to this point that it's like

462
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: I think they think they dunked on everybody, but here

463
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: we are talking about their talking points on a show

464
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: because it's so funny, we can't help but mock it, Like,

465
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: is this is this just what being a conservative is nowadays?

466
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: I guess.

467
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 4: So we just keep getting our bed made for us,

468
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 4: and we just are able to just keep laughing at It.

469
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 4: Reminds me of that Trump snl skit from all those

470
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 4: years ago where he made Trump's Chicken and then he

471
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 4: had all those women, you know, with the chicken.

472
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: Costumes doing the dances.

473
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 4: And so I think Trump should just take this and

474
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 4: run with it and serve the best friggin chicken around

475
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 4: the United States because it'll prove any he doesn't. He

476
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 4: always gets what he wants and he always wins. He's

477
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: always on top. And I mean, chicken might be a

478
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 4: good market to get into.

479
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 3: This's the kind of stuff where like you need a

480
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: focus group of guys who are in a locker room

481
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 3: to stop this, because.

482
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 2: This isn't it? Good?

483
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: President, If you're watching, first of all, thanks for tuning

484
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: into Turning Point tonight, But also i'd be cautious about

485
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: your new chicken adventure or adventure. I'm not sure I'm

486
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: not sure that'll work out great, but you know, you

487
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: never know. Lily Kate Siakabazakoy always a great time. Thanks

488
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: you guys for coming on. I appreciate you taking the time.

489
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you coming up next year.

490
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: In Turning Points Tonight, we've got a fascinating clip Max

491
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: Clark's Culture Apothecary podcast. And then after that, it's Woke Wednesday.

492
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: Don't go, It'll be right back after this.

493
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 7: Are blue light blockers legit or are they just like

494
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 7: another wellness scam?

495
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 8: There are a couple of people out there trying to

496
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 8: say that they're a scam, and I noticed that there

497
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 8: were some really big sights and articles saying like the

498
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 8: number one health myth is blue light blocking classes. And

499
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 8: I read their articles. They have not read the research.

500
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 8: So there is very definitive research at the National Institute

501
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 8: of Health, at renzali Er Polytechnic Institute at Harvard and

502
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 8: elsewhere that show melatonin, this master anti cancer hormone that

503
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 8: cleans up our mitochondria and ourselves while we sleep, is

504
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 8: preserved if you wear blue light blocking glasses after sunset.

505
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 8: It's proven in numerous peer reviewed published studies that they

506
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 8: absolutely work.

507
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 7: Did our ancestors have any little light tricks that we've

508
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 7: forgotten about that could really help us today?

509
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 5: They did.

510
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 8: Are So, think about eighteen twenty and you're in New

511
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 8: York City and it's five point thirty pm in the

512
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 8: middle of winter. What are you doing at that time?

513
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 8: You're probably sleeping because a there's no electrification, so the

514
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 8: city is not lit up. If you're at home with

515
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 8: your family, it's expensive to use firelight to heat up

516
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 8: your home, to light up your home so that you

517
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 8: can see, so you can read, so you can write.

518
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 8: All of those things would only be relegated to the

519
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 8: very wealthy that could have tons of candles burning all

520
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 8: the time. So most people they woke up with the sun.

521
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 8: They didn't have these clocks that said, like, it's eight o'clock,

522
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 8: I have to be at work at eight o'clock. They

523
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 8: woke up with the sun and they went to work

524
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 8: when the sun was up.

525
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 7: I'm guessing you don't use it alarm unless.

526
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 8: I have a flight, yeah, that I have to be

527
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 8: up for. I do not use an alarm. Nobody needs

528
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 8: to use an alarm. I actually have an article on

529
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 8: my website that says, like you never need to use

530
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 8: an alarm again. Once your body is synced to the

531
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 8: sun when it rises and when it sets, you will

532
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 8: naturally wake up when the sun rises.

533
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 7: Are you anti blackout curtains?

534
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 8: Definitely not?

535
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 6: Okay?

536
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 8: So the reason blackout curtains are beneficial is most of

537
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 8: us live around light pollution. So the American Medical Association

538
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 8: they publish an article in twenty seventeen. It was actually

539
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 8: a warning. It says warning, led lights are harmful to

540
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 8: American's health. And that article talked about LED street lights

541
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 8: and how they harm our circadian rhythm and our and

542
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 8: we should not be using at lady street lights with

543
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 8: all this blue light. So your neighbor's light, the street lights,

544
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 8: whatever lights are outside your home, unless you live in

545
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 8: the middle of the country, are coming into your bedroom.

546
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 8: And any amount of light coming into your bedroom can

547
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 8: be read by your skin when you're trying to sleep

548
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 8: and mess up your circadian rhythm and your melotonin. So

549
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 8: blackout curtains are great to stop those things.

550
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 6: Okay, I just didn't know.

551
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 7: I was curious what you would say, because I was

552
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 7: wondering if you would say you don't like them, because

553
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 7: then you know the sun rise you don't notice it.

554
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 7: So it's good when you're trying to fall asleep and

555
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 7: keeping asleep, but then in the morning though, you're missing

556
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 7: out on that light.

557
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 8: Ideally, like you would have these mechanical things that would go.

558
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 6: Up on a timer.

559
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 8: Yep, when the sunrise comes up, so the sun comes

560
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 8: in and it naturally when the sun hits your body,

561
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 8: it will naturally wake you up.

562
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 7: Now, I noticed that you have on yellow blue light blockers.

563
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 7: I interviewed Hilda Lebrodogre a couple of years ago and

564
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 7: she had orange ones on. Is that a fashion choice

565
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 7: or there's like something different going on with these different colors.

566
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 8: There's definitely something different. There are really three types. Well,

567
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 8: I'm gonna say there's four types of blue light blocking glasses.

568
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 8: The first type is not a real type. So the

569
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 8: first type of blue light blocking glasses, they look like

570
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 8: they have clear lenses, but they look like they reflect

571
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 8: a little bit of blue light. Those don't really do anything.

572
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 8: They just give you like a warm feeling that like, hey,

573
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 8: I'm probably doing something you're not. So those don't work.

574
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 8: I don't recommend them. Yellow blue light blocking glasses where

575
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 8: they have a little bit of a yellow tint that's

576
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 8: what I have on and that's what you want to

577
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 8: wear during the day. Not outdoors. You need blue light.

578
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 8: Natural sunlight is very healing and it's not destructive to

579
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 8: your eyes in any way unless you're staring at the

580
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 8: sun at noon. But inside, when you're on a device,

581
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 8: you're on your laptop, you're on your phone. Wearing yellow

582
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 8: blue light blocking glasses stops about fifty percent of the

583
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 8: blue light from hitting your eye, but specifically it stops

584
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 8: the high intensity blue light that can cause macular degeneration.

585
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 8: So there's a whole host of issues with kids having

586
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 8: macular degeneration all of a sudden that never occurred before.

587
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 5: Anything.

588
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 6: It's from the iPads, it's from.

589
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 8: All the devices are on all the time.

590
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 6: Ooh, that's freaky.

591
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 8: So when we age, our eyes start getting a little

592
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 8: bit yellow. They start to get this yellowish tint on

593
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 8: older adult's eyes, and that yellow. Just like my glasses

594
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 8: block some of the blue light, kids don't have that.

595
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 8: They're getting the most light poisoning from all these lights everywhere,

596
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 8: especially being on devices all the time. You know, my

597
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 8: kids are in high school and middle school and they

598
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 8: don't really read books, they don't take tests, with paper

599
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 8: and pen. They take everything online, They read on a device,

600
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 8: they take their test on a device. They're constantly on devices.

601
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 8: There's no chalkboards, they're smartboards. And so they're getting all

602
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 8: this light in their eye that's not protected by glasses

603
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 8: or a yellowing lens of their own eye. So during

604
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 8: the day, these blue light blocking glasses that are yellow

605
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 8: can prevent that macular degeneration, okay, but still allowing of

606
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 8: blue light to keep us awake and alert. The orange lenses.

607
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 8: You see a lot of these people wearing like orange

608
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 8: glasses at night. Yeah, those block one one hundred percent

609
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 8: of blue light. And after sunset, if we see blue

610
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 8: light after sunset, our melatonin is destroyed. That's not good.

611
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 8: So blocking one hundred percent of the blue light to

612
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 8: the eye is perfect. That allows your body to think

613
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 8: that it's dark and to produce melatonin to heal yourself

614
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 8: while you sleep.

615
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 7: What types of light bulbs should we put in our houses?

616
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 8: I recommend two types, incandescent. So even though we know

617
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 8: that incandescent bulbs can destroy like half of your night's melatonin,

618
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 8: which is not great, but they don't flicker like an

619
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 8: led light does. And there are more natural soft yellower light.

620
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 8: They have infrared light coming from them. We all know,

621
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 8: like we use these red light panels, these healing red

622
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 8: light panels that are red and infrared. Well, an incandescent

623
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 8: bulb has red and infrared light. When you put in

624
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 8: LED lights, they flicker. Even though your eye can't pick

625
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 8: it up, your iPhone will pick up that the light

626
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 8: is flickering. Your brain notices that and you can get migraines.

627
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 8: It causes stress in the body, that flickering of the

628
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 8: LED that's not to our eye but is picked up

629
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 8: by our brain.

630
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 7: So one of the worst things is like your light

631
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 7: on one of those dimmer switches, isn't it If it's.

632
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 8: An LED light, Those dimmer switches create a huge magnetic field,

633
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 8: which is really bad and massive flicker.

634
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have that in my apartment, which I can help.

635
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 6: Because it's an apartment, you can't do much about it.

636
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 6: But that is something I wondered about.

637
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 8: If you replace your light bulb though, with an incandescent

638
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 8: or a halogen bulb, then you can use the dimmer

639
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 8: and it's not as much of a big deal. It's

640
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 8: the LED bulbs that go in that are the worst.

641
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 8: So I recommend most people either put in incandescent, they're

642
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 8: just they're naturally better for our bodies, or which is

643
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 8: what we do, except in the kitchen we use We

644
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 8: use halogen and incandescent in our kitchen so we can see,

645
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 8: like everything looks gray, all food looks gray under a

646
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 8: red light. And we use red light in the rest

647
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 8: of our house. So our bathroom light, our living room light,

648
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 8: and our bedroom lights are red lights.

649
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 6: Now, is that just a red light bulb.

650
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 8: You can get incandescent light bulbs that are red, okay,

651
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 8: or led light light bulbs that have almost no flicker

652
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 8: and are red.

653
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 7: Now, let me ask something because this is something that's

654
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 7: been very confusing for my audience. Is there a difference

655
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 7: between a red light bulb like a red light used

656
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 7: on a chicken, etc.

657
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 6: And then red light therapy.

658
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 8: Yes, so if you had a chicken light, the chicken

659
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 8: light gives off heat because the chickens need to stay

660
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 8: warm in the winter, especially where we live. So that

661
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 8: red light has a red and infrared. The infrared is

662
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 8: the heat coming off of it and the chickens stay warm.

663
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 8: It gives off infrared, it gives off red light. That

664
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 8: light bulb can be used for therapy, but a lot

665
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 8: of the red light studies show that if your skin

666
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 8: gets hot, the red light therapy is not as effective.

667
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 6: Oh so the red light.

668
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 8: Panels have invisible infrared light and then some red light,

669
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 8: and they don't if they're designed properly, they don't heat

670
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 8: your body, and therefore the red light gives you more

671
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 8: benefit when the skin is not getting hot. So they

672
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 8: are different.

673
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 6: I get like a little bit warm.

674
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 8: The incandescent lights, the chicken lights. There's saunas out there

675
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 8: that use them, and there's red light panels that use these.

676
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 8: You get really you'll sweat, So like when your skin

677
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 8: gets so hot, you're going to sweat. That is too

678
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 8: much heat in your body, and it's not as effective

679
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 8: red light therapy. Immediately, nobody has thought about you, who's

680
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 8: just twenty four to seven flooding the zone.

681
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 9: Back to my thirteen year old owning this space every day,

682
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 9: getting a.

683
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: Convert and then I'm thinking about we're gonna stand back

684
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: and watch you run circles around us.

685
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,520

Speaker 1: movement I think really has ever done. I don't think

704
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: that's being hyperbolic. You can also email the show anytime

708
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: throwing it away if it's a bad idea. That's just

709
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: how we do it. I'll be honest with your TBT

Speaker 1: at TPUSA dot com and and anything you feel that

711
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: is appropriate, and then we need to know going forward

712
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: without further ado. And this is one of my favorites.

713
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: And I know it's your It's woke Wednesday, thank you

714
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: screaming highlighter lady or they them, I don't know. I

715
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: never know, but maybe someday they them her will tell me.

716
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: This is an interesting Woke Wednesday because we're not no

717
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: necessarily nut picking. If you're not familiar with the term

718
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: nut picking, both sides kind of do it. You kind

719
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: of pick one of the nuts from their party. Well,

720
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: and we don't necessarily do this part of it and

721
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: kind of assume that that's everybody, but increasingly on the

722
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: left it seems to be easier to do. And in

723
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: this case, we're taking actual represented individual sorry representative individuals

724
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: who are elected to office and showing what they're actually

725
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: saying and actually thinking. This one is fascinating to me

726
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: because it encompasses so much of what libs think and

727
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: why it's so incredibly wrong and day watch this and

728
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: we will discuss all of the ways that it's incoherently stupid.

729
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 1: Check it out later.

730
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 10: And of course.

731
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 11: We have to come to a place in Congress where

732
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 11: it is no longer a political issue, but we see

733
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 11: it as an existential issue for the country. If we

734
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 11: don't have outgues for people to come here leedally to

735
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 11: work or to build our home here.

736
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be really.

737
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 12: True right now, we're not gonna have anybody.

738
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 5: Around the way we're asses because we don't have another people.

739
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,479
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, first of all, that's incredibly demeaning to any people.

740
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: Anybody coming into the country, which I thought being demeaning

741
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: was like a big hole thing. Feelings is like a

742
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: big hole thing with you Libs. That was a LIB

743
00:36:54,120 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: Congresswoman Becca Bliant of Vermont, which is interesting. But here's

744
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: what is correct about her wrongness. Right, the whole thing

745
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: Libs don't say this out loud, but the whole thing

746
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: of letting legals into the country in mass is one

747
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: they think they're gonna get their votes. I think that's

748
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: a bad bet. But two, we do genuinely have a

749
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: population problem. Now, A lot of that is driven by

750
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: Libs saying, Ah, you don't need to have babies, you

751
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: don't need to have kids. You can just live this

752
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: hedonistic lifestyle and do everything for yourself, and that's totally fine. Okay, cool,

753
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: that's wrong. But let's extrapolate that a little bit. If

754
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: you think that you don't have to have kids, then yes,

755
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a population crisis, especially with the entitlements

756
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: that Libs have set up. You can't sustain yourself in

757
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: the long term. If you tell people explicitly having kids's oppression.

758
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: Having babies is bad for society. You shouldn't do it.

759
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: If you believe that, then you by default have to

760
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: allow people to come into the country on mass or

761
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: else you can't have a sustainable infrastructure societally speaking. So

762
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: that is what she actually thinks. Again, it's incredibly demeaning,

763
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: but given her deluded pathway, the wrongness makes sense in

764
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: a weird way, because yeah, if you're going to discourage

765
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: Americans from having babies, having kids and raising families, then

766
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: you're going to have to get that labor from elsewhere.

767
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: And again, like I said, very very demeaning thing that

768
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: she said, she is in a way right in her wrongness,

769
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. God wokeness is such a crazy

770
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: mental gymnastics thing. I want to play this before we

771
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: run out of time. Second clip. This is from Missoula, Montana.

772
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 12: The item is recognizing the Pride flag as an official

773
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 12: flag of the City of Missoula, and we have a

774
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 12: councilwoman Jennifer Savage, to provide the overview and kick off

775
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 12: this agenda item.

776
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 10: Please great, Thank you very much. I have something that

777
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 10: I'm just going to read. So last week my email

778
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 10: inbox filled with messages from concerned parents, students, and community

779
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 10: members about Pride flags having been removed from Missoula's classrooms

780
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 10: in the wake of House Built eight nineteen that Governor

781
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 10: Janforte signed on May thirteenth, which regulates the types of

782
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 10: flags that may be flown in public buildings in Montana.

783
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 10: Maazilians were concerned and urged all of us to act quickly. Tonight,

784
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 10: I bring you a resolution to make the Pride flag

785
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 10: an official flag for the city of Missoula.

786
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: If you can't be encompassed in the flags that represent

787
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: everyone and you have to single flags out, you're therefore discriminating.

788
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: If gay Massoulans can't be represented by the American flag

789
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: or by the Missoula City flag, whatever it is, and

790
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: have to add an official flag. You're therefore discriminating against

791
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: everybody else who doesn't feel represented by that particular flag.

792
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: Whenever they fly a half Irish, half simoonan flag, let

793
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: me know then I will personally feel included. That's gonna

794
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: do it with us here at turning point tonight, Charlie's

795
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: gonna take us out. We'll see tomorrow, same time, same place.

796
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 9: God bless America.

797
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 2: I joke around to my friends I live a forest

798
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 2: gump life. I really do. I just happen to be

799
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 2: in the right place at the right time, so many

800
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 2: different situations, and it just so happens. I was eating

801
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 2: dinner in New York last night and I ran into

802
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: mister Doug Kamala Harris's husband. I'll tell you about that.

803
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 2: That's not breaking news. But I also saw the Grand

804
00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: Priestess statue, the statue of the High Priest of the

805
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 2: Democrat Party, which is Skinny Lizzo in Times Square, all

806
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 2: hail the black woman. People were giving tribute and we're

807
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 2: saying prayers to the black woman's statue in Times Square.

808
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: Do we have a picture of that, By the way,

809
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: do we have a picture of the Grand priestess? You know,

810
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: in prior civilizations, you go to Florence and you see

811
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 2: the statue David. You go to Rome and you see

812
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: the pay I think it's in Rome. And when you

813
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: come to New York you go see a statue of

814
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 2: some slob who is, by the way, like fifteen feet tall.

815
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: It's a very big statue of just literally some random

816
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 2: black woman. Just to be reco in Times Square, the

817
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 2: most prominent statue is just literally a statue of a

818
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 2: black woman. I don't know. I prefer the statue of liberty,

819
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 2: not the statue of Yeah. So we're going to dive

820
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 2: more into that later. And there it is. Yeah, there's

821
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: the statue of the slab. I mean is what is

822
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 2: I want to know? What can you steal?

823
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 5: Man?

824
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 2: The argument? For me? What is the purpose of this?

825
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 2: Why is that there? I had to go by and

826
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 2: see it. By the way, Interestingly, it was very easy

827
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 2: to go up and take a picture. Not no one

828
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 2: really wanted to go take a picture next to it

829
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 2: either be called racist, they felt intimidated, or they thought

830
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 2: that she was going to start screaming at them is

831
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 2: right literally right in the center of Times Square. What

832
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 2: is their strong their steel man argument for this, oh

833
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 2: to challenge cultural norms and spark conversation. But previously marginalized,

834
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: unappreciated groups is that what art is about. I get

835
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: to a whole show about art and how we have

836
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 2: lost the plot when it comes to art. Roger Scrutin

837
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 2: May He Rest in Peace had that one of the

838
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 2: best documentaries and books and analyzes on how we in

839
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 2: the West have decided to embrace the ugly. They think

840
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 2: art is to expose systemic injustice. We believe art is

841
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: to uplift the divine, make human beings be better versions

842
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 2: of themselves, to appreciate the beautiful and the good and

843
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 2: the traditional, and to make society one that is worth defending,

844
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 2: not one of deconstruction. I could do a whole speech

845
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 2: on this, but I thought it was quite something that

846
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 2: we go from the statue of David in Florence as

847
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: a beautiful symbol of Western civilization the statue of Shiniqua. Okay,

848
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 2: so let's dive into the breaking news. So yesterday Elon Musk,

849
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: the world's richest man, someone who I have gotten to

850
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 2: know and I still get along with tweeted. The tweet

851
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 2: heard around the world. Now, it was seen over one

852
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: hundred million times on X. Now, to be fair, we

853
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: sent out a tweet the other day that was seen

854
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 2: about forty million times, so it's not bad. But we

855
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 2: also don't own the platform. Our tweet was Islam is

856
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 2: not compatible with Western civilization. But forty five million, I

857
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: think that's going to be a topic that I'm gonna

858
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,479
Speaker 2: have to defend for the next couple of years. So Blake,

859
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: get ready and you read the Hidith for me. All right. However,

860
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 2: Elon Musk sends out this tweet, and I want to

861
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 2: analyze this, and I want to make sure that we

862
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: are understanding Elon's perspective correctly. The media is completely unhelpful here,

863
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 2: and I think I can offer some unique insight, having

864
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 2: being a proponent of the Big Beautiful Bill, having be

865
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 2: someone who is friendly with Elon and thinks that Elon

866
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 2: has really delivered a civilizational blessing to us by liberating

867
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 2: X and helping President Trump get elected, I think I'm

868
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 2: in a unique spot to actually explain this. Let me

869
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 2: go through his tweet quote. I'm sorry, but I just

870
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 2: can't stand it anymore? Can we get the tape of Network?

871
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 2: By the way, matt As Hallan, I'm not taking anymore.

872
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: Do you guys know what clip I'm talking about where

873
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 2: the guy goes out the window and just starts screaming

874
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 2: from the movie Network. Anyway, get that? That's Elon yesterday.

875
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 2: If we get that tape, this massive, outrageous, pork filled

876
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 2: congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those

877
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: who voted for it. You know you did wrong. You

878
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 2: know it. Okay, So I wouldn't use that language at all,

879
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 2: But let me try to interpret what Elon is saying

880
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 2: here in less provocative and hyperbelic language. I wouldn't use

881
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 2: words like shame or outrageous or pork filled. Because understand

882
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 2: what this bill is. First and foremost, it is a

883
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 2: reconciliation bill. It is not a budget bill. It is

884
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: a reconciliation bill, which means you have to reconcile, reconcile

885
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 2: two different budgetary years together, combine them, and you can

886
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 2: add some spending and cut some spending. But it must

887
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 2: pass what is called the Bird rule in the Senate,

888
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: and it must be budgetary related. Now, what is Elon

889
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 2: getting at here is something that I think that is

890
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: important though, and we have Senator Ron Johnson that will

891
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: be joining us in the segment after this, who I

892
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: think is articulating a lot of these views. I don't

893
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: necessarily share them to the same extent because I am

894
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 2: still a big proponent of this bill, largely because of

895
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 2: the immigration wins and because of the no tax on

896
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 2: tips and the tax cut stuff. But we are fiscal

897
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 2: hawks on the show. We believe that if you do

898
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 2: not balance our budget, we are careening towards a fiscal apocalypse. Overnight.

899
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 2: Elon also tweeted this. He said, quote interest payments already

900
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 2: consume twenty five percent of all government revenue. Now. As

901
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 2: a pause, and as a side note, I literally got

902
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 2: my start as an advocate and as an activist back

903
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 2: in twenty eleven and twenty twelve when I was in

904
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: high school in the suburbs of Chicago talking about the

905
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 2: ballooning national debt. If we as conservatives are serious, we

906
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 2: must be fiscal hawks. It is generational theft, It is

907
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 2: the slavery of the free. It is by far one

908
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 2: of the greatest, if not the greatest, national security threats.

909
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 2: We should go back to baseline budgeting. We should go

910
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 2: back to zero based budgeting. We have been saying this

911
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 2: for the last thirteen years. When I started turning Point USA,

912
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 2: the national debt was hovering around eight to nine trillion dollars.

913
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 2: When I first started debt advocacy in sophomore junior high school,

914
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 2: and then when I graduate high school, I think was

915
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 2: around thirteen trillion dollars. I'm approximating these numbers, and now

916
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: it's upwards of thirty five trillion dollars, a nearly triple

917
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 2: increase of our national debt. Now, our response to COVID

918
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 2: didn't help, and it was completely unnecessary. One of the

919
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 2: reasons why is because we started to engage in a

920
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 2: decades long cheap money cycle. No one wanted the cut spending.

921
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 2: The stock market keep coming up, we keep on inflating

922
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: our currency and deteriorating our purchasing power. Nobody wanted to

923
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 2: have the tough conversation about cutting spending.
