00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,920

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. My

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in tonight.

11
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: We have a very special guest that I'm very excited

12
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: to talk to about his perspective on his own process

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: in decision making as well as how the country's going

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: and what are trajectory going forward looking. Please help me

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: welcome doctor Ben and Carson to the show. Doctor Carson,

16
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: thank you so much for being here.

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: Thank You're delighted to be here with you.

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: You know, doctor Carson, just to start off, initially, you've

19
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: talked a lot about bridging the divide and kind of

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: unifying the country. We on the conservative side of the

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: aisle generally tend to tend to say often that we

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: have more in common than we have indifference. Can you

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: kind of speak to what it might take to bridge

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: the gap, especially considering how deep the political divide seems

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: to be in the in the modern era.

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 3: Well, you know, interestingly enough, there there was a time

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 3: when democrats and Republicans argued, but they had the same goal.

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: They had different ways of getting there, but they had

29
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: the same goal. Now the problem is they don't have

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: the same goal. It makes things much more contentious. You know,

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: one side wants a country that's up formed by the people.

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: One side once a country that's up formed by the government.

33
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: And it becomes increasingly difficult to reckon sow those two policies.

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: But you know, the key thing is if we start

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: out by putting the facts in the middle of the

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: table and then discuss things based on the facts instead

37
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: of based on opinion. I think that's the way that

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 3: we can begin to make some progress. Also, you know,

39
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: as the Bible says, you know, with your enemies, be

40
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: nice to them, like putting coals of fire in their hair.

41
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: They don't like that, and there are those who actually

42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: intend to divide us. If you go back and you

43
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: look at the Congressional record January tenth, nineteen sixty three,

44
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: more than sixty years ago, way before you were born.

45
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: Congressman Herlong of Florida wrote in the forty five Goals

46
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: of Communism in America, how they plan to conquer us,

47
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: And you'd be amazed at how many puplished already, things

48
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: like gaining control of the school system and the teaching union,

49
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: indoctrinate the kids, gaining control of Hollywood, television and news media,

50
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 3: so you could change the culture in America, diminishing the

51
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: role of fathers, detegrating the role of families, increasing the

52
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: role of government, making sexual perversion normal, natural and healthy,

53
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: integrating the role of the church, making the social gospel

54
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: the thing rather than the real gospel. I mean, it's

55
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: pretty amazing just as you go down that list, and

56
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: it's a clever idea. They knew that they could conquer

57
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: us militarily, so why not destroy you from within by

58
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: attacking your faith and your families, and our families have

59
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: been decimated.

60
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fascinating here you say that.

61
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: I think one of the most interesting things that I've

62
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: seen in the modern era is this idea that will

63
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: name me a Christian conservative artist. Right, in the last

64
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: fifty years or so, the art world has been dominated,

65
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: the culture world really has been dominated by progressive lefties.

66
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 2: But if you go back past that, the entire litany

67
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: of the last two thousand years have been Christian art

68
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: and Christian culture. Can you kind of speak to me,

69
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: how do we get that sense back? I think there's

70
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: a resurgence in the church happening now. We kind of

71
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: see it all around us. How do we help facilitate

72
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: that from like the media space, in this and maybe

73
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: even in our local communities.

74
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: Well, I think the key thing is to talk about it,

75
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: not to be afraid, because the reason left has succeeded

76
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: is because people who think the right way have been tenant.

77
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: They stand in and stare at their feet, hoping that

78
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: no one will call them a nasty name or try

79
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: to cancel them. And you know, you can't be the

80
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: land of the free if you're not in the home

81
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: of the brave. You got to be willing to stand

82
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: up for the things that you believe in. I see

83
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 3: more people doing that now, you know, as I go

84
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: around the country, particularly in the different universities in conjunction

85
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: with Turning Point USA, I see a lot of kids

86
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: who are now willing to stand up for what they believe.

87
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 3: They used to hide in the shadows. They wear their

88
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: mega hats, they have their American flags on, and I'm

89
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: seeing that phenomenon everywhere, and people are also, you know,

90
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: proclaiming their faces. Look at some of these revivals that

91
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: have occurred on some of these campuses, just of revivals

92
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: because I think people have seen that the other direction

93
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: is leading us to destruction. And you see the kind

94
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 3: of philosophies that are coming out of it. You know,

95
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: it's okay for men to play in women's sports and

96
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: heck out of women, that's okay. Why wouldn't you do that.

97
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: It's okay to confused children about their gender when their

98
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: brains aren't fully developed, and do so that their parents

99
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: don't know because the parents will protect them. I mean,

100
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: I think if you think logically about it, you realize

101
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: that those kinds of policies are not working for us.

102
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: It's okay to have open borders and to let anybody

103
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: into our country. Now, I think what is the long

104
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: term consequences of that. That's the problem. But I think

105
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: I think our young people are waking up and I'm

106
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: proud of them.

107
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been fascinating to see.

108
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: I've been fortunate enough to be on the road with

109
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk and the crowds have just grown and grown

110
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 2: and grown. And I'm sure you've seen it at turning

111
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: point events that you've done, and it's almost entirely students,

112
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: which is crazy, just three thousand students in a place.

113
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: So it's good to see, doctor Arson. I'd love to

114
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: narrow kind of down on your perspective. You've had obviously

115
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: a storied career at the Hut Department, but also as

116
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 2: a neurosurgeon. In those you you'd have to make split

117
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: decisions that really affect people's life. What is your process

118
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: of making a big decision, whether you have a long

119
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: period of time or a very very short window of

120
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: time to make what you think is the best decision

121
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: in your opinion.

122
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: Well, I do what's called a best worst analysis. I

123
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: asked questions, what's the best thing that happens if I

124
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: do this, What's the worst thing that happens if I

125
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: do this? What's the best thing that happens if I

126
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: don't do this. What's the worst thing that happens if

127
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: I don't do this? And by those four questions and

128
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: answering them, it generally will put you on the right pathway.

129
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: And a lot of times when people don't ask those

130
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: questions and something happens, they say, why didn't I ask

131
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: myself that question?

132
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 4: Yeah? Wow, so simple as that.

133
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: Actually wrote a book about it.

134
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, ware, that's a people to go go check

135
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: that out. You know.

136
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: Part of the other the other elements that you've been

137
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: so vocal about is education being the way forward to

138
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: get out of poverty, to get out of bad situations.

139
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: Now that is somewhat of a contentious issue because then

140
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: people go, well, then why are you trying to abolish

141
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: the Department of Education? And again, I don't necessarily know

142
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: your opinion on that specifically, but I've heard you say

143
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: a couple of times, you know where true education lies

144
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,239
Speaker 2: outside of the school system. How can you know parents

145
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 2: outside of going to school board meetings, cause we all

146
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: know that's that's a good idea, But how can parents

147
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: kind of facilitate that growth and education to make sure

148
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 2: their kids have all of the opportunities that can be

149
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: afforded to them.

150
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you can't just tell them that

151
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: they're things. You have to show them. So for example,

152
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: you know, get your book out read with them. You know,

153
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: things that really impress me. And I was still practicing.

154
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: His parents would come to me and they would say,

155
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: a pediatrician wants me to start a little Johnny or

156
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: little Susan on such and such medication for attention death disorder.

157
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: And before you do that, let me ask you a

158
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: couple of questions. I said, Can they watch television? Oh, yeah,

159
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 3: they watched Tugion all day? Can they play video? Oh,

160
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: all day and all night? I said, I'll tell you what,

161
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: before we start them on the medication for the next

162
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 3: three months, I want you to wean them off of

163
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: those things in substitute quality time with you reading and

164
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: discussing the material. And then when you come back, let

165
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 3: me know if you still need the medication. In most cases,

166
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 3: they did not need the medication anymore. It's a pseudo phenomenon.

167
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 3: And you know, you take a little kid from the

168
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: time they're born, as soon as they can sit up,

169
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 3: what do you do prop them up in front of TV?

170
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: Zip chips zim zim zoom. They get a little older,

171
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: they get a little manudexterity. You give them the controls

172
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: to the video game Zip chip jip zim zim zoom.

173
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: Now all of a sudden, they're five or six. You

174
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: put them in a classroom and the teacher's not turning

175
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 3: into something every few seconds. You think they're going to

176
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: pay attention. Probably not. So we need to spend a

177
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: little more time with our children. And there's a reason

178
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: that God formed families, and you know, we have a

179
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 3: real problem with family formation right now. And with childbirth.

180
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: We've gone in the sixties from an average of three

181
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: point six verst per woman to one point six.

182
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, wow.

183
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: That's going to have a dramatic impact on our population

184
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 3: if we don't pay attention to it.

185
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, if I were to characterize, and please

186
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong, it sounds like, you know,

187
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: sometimes parenting is difficult, but it's worth the struggle through

188
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: not putting them in front of an iPad because you know,

189
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: it may have repercussions down the road that aren't exactly

190
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 2: in the best interest of the kid. If that's hope

191
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: I'm characterizing that correctly.

192
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: That's correct. And in my case, you know, one of

193
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: the things that I hate it. In fact, the thing

194
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 3: that I hated the most growing up was poverty. Some

195
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: people hate rats and roaches and snakes, and I hate

196
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 3: it poverty. That is until my mother made me start

197
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: reading books and I began to read about explorers and

198
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: entrepreneurs and engineers and scientists and surgeons. I begin to

199
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: understand that the person who has the most to do

200
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: it what happens to you, is you. It's not circumstances,

201
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: it's not some other person. And when I realized that

202
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 3: poverty didn't bother me anymore because I knew, because I

203
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: knew it was temporary, I knew I could actually.

204
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: Wow now that actually that actually would lead into my

205
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: next question, which I would love for you to answer,

206
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: But doctor Ben Carson is chatting with us. He'll be

207
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: right back after the break to discuss my question of well,

208
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: how did you define success? Because I think that's a

209
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 2: great little lead into that Turning Point tonight. Will be

210
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: right back.

211
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 4: Don't go away.

212
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 5: Got to admire what you've been able to do, not.

213
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 6: To weaponize, but to organize on these college campuses.

214
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 7: At Turning Point USA We've spent thirteen years building the machine,

227
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Turning Point tonight. We're together. We are

228
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: charting the course of America's cultural comeback. We are joined

229
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,359
Speaker 2: by doctor Ben Carson, the chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute,

230
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: as well as the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

231
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: Doctor Carson, you were kind kind of left this off

232
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: at the last segment, you said, well, you know, I

233
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: didn't care about poverty anymore because I was able to

234
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 2: learn and read about explorers with this very very hyper

235
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: focus on material in the country and people, you know,

236
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: hating guys like Elon Musk and people who have made

237
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: wealth for themselves, but also for other people. How do

238
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: you define success? Because so many people think, well, success

239
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: is my bank account or how much money I make,

240
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: or how many things I have, or how many show

241
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: up things I'm able to show off to my friends.

242
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: In your view of just overall life, how do you

243
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: define success? Maybe outside of the materialistic norms, I.

244
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: Would say success is happiness and contentment. If you're pleased

245
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: with your situation. You know, there are people who who

246
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: live out in the middle of the forest the material

247
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: thinks and there's happy as a lark, yeah out there.

248
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 3: So there's no question that if you if you live

249
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: in Martin society, it's probably easier if you have money

250
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 3: and resources, know, beg for those things who are scratched

251
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 3: in the dirt to find those things. So, and I

252
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: tell young people all the time, the reason your education

253
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: is so important is because the more you know, the

254
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: more valuable you become, and the more valuable you are,

255
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: people tend to pay you, so you do okay, you know,

256
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: you know, a large salary may not be your final

257
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: goal or your most important goal, but it certainly helps

258
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: to alleviate some of the difficulties in life.

259
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 4: True. Yeah, interesting.

260
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: Now, given the word somewhat of a contentious time in

261
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: American culture, I would love it. And that's put you

262
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: on the spot here. What is what is something that

263
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: you're concerned about going forward in the next in the

264
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: next couple of years, maybe even over the course of

265
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: the next generation. And what are you maybe optimistic about, like, oh,

266
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: this is this is great, this is happening now and

267
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: we're really to see this grow.

268
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: Well, the thing that concerns me the most is the

269
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: the business that's going on inside, the outright hatred. Uh

270
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: you know, the whole cancel culture that has cropped up argideo.

271
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 3: Christian values teach us to love your neighbor, not to

272
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: cancel your neighbor if they have a different yard time

273
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, I say, hatred and division have

274
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 3: waxed for a long time. Now it's time to let

275
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: them wane. W a n E that stands for we

276
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 3: are not enemies, and there are those who want to

277
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: drive vodges in us on the basis of race, age, gender, religion,

278
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: political affiliation, because that's how they derive their power. And

279
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 3: if we succumb to that, we will not succeeds. There's

280
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 3: a house divided against itself cannot stand and never stood,

281
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: it won't stand now. So we need the kind of

282
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 3: leadership that helps to draw people together. And you know,

283
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: we have a lot more things that draw us together

284
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 3: than that divide us. But it's up to our leadership

285
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: to help point those things out and help people to

286
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 3: recognize that that person who's next to you, who has

287
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: a different yards on it, a different opinion, it's still

288
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 3: your neighbor. And one of the reasons that we succeeded

289
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: as a nation early on, even though we had people

290
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 3: who came from all kinds of different places, in many

291
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: cases spoke different languages, is because they understood the concept

292
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: of the common good. That was a phrase you drop

293
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: much in the Founder's writings, the common good, and that

294
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 3: what's good for this group versus that group, but what's

295
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 3: good for all of us? And if it was harvest

296
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 3: season and mister Johnson fell out of the apple tree

297
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 3: and broke us, Like, guess what everybody else harvested his crops.

298
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: They didn't want to know what his religion was, didn't

299
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 3: want to know his politics. They just said, he's our

300
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 3: neighbor and he needs help. You know, we need to

301
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: get back to that again.

302
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what what's something that you think you're you're

303
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: optimistic about that you kind of see ground swell coming

304
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: and and this is this is what we should look

305
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 2: out for and keep an eye on and and help

306
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: flourish in the in the coming years.

307
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: Well, I'm optimistic about the young people. The young people

308
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: see uh at TPA events, uh TPU SA events and

309
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: just around the country in general. A lot of the

310
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: lectures that I give you know about pro life, about education,

311
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot more younger people in the audience

312
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 3: and they seem to be very enthusiastic, and I think

313
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 3: a lot of them are actually starting to learn about

314
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: our history, the reality of America, the good, the band

315
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: and the ugly. But if you're honest, there's a heck

316
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: of a lot more good than there is bad and ugly.

317
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 3: And we have people who have seized upon the bad

318
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: and ugly and trying to make that the central focus

319
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: of who we are. And you know, particularly they seize

320
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: up on things like slavery and say, you know, we're

321
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 3: evil because of the slavery. They know anything about oral history,

322
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 3: they would know that any civilization has struggled with And

323
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 3: the thing that makes us unique is that we had

324
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 3: so many people who vehemently opposed it that we thought

325
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: a bloody civil war and lost a large portion of

326
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 3: our population to get rid of it.

327
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, can considering the fact that this

328
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: is a resurgence that doesn't come with no criticism, how

329
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: do you what is your maybe advice to kids, but

330
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: also really anybody who is standing up for truth and

331
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: what they believe in, and how they deal with the

332
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 2: criticism that comes right, because I know, I know you've

333
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 2: dealt with a lot of criticism. How what is your

334
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: process of dealing with that and continuing to press forward?

335
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 3: Well, see, I maybe have a little unique way of

336
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 3: dealing with that. I have great faith in God and

337
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,239
Speaker 3: in the hereafter, and I say, whatever you suffer in

338
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: this lifetime is a spec against the backdrop of eternity.

339
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: All that in perspective. Yeah, uh, you know, I used

340
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 3: to think it would bother me a lot if I

341
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 3: got public criticism and I came to find out that

342
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 3: it doesn't bother me.

343
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 4: At all, just able to just kind of smart.

344
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we When you know what you believe in,

345
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 2: what you believe is true, then there's really not much

346
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 2: anybody else can say. Uh, that's that's that's solid advice.

347
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: Doctor Carson.

348
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: You're the chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute. What is

349
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 2: the goal of the American Cornerstone Institute. What are you

350
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 2: striving to get to people?

351
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 4: What is you know? Tell us about it?

352
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 3: Thanks for asking that question. You know, we look at

353
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 3: the cornerstone principles that made us into a great country

354
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: and emphasize those. We're both a think tank and a

355
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: do tank. Those cornerstone principles are faith. It's our faith

356
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: that teaches us how to live together peacefully, love you, liberty.

357
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 3: The thing that brought so many people to our shores

358
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 3: from all over the world. The ability to lead the

359
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: life that you want to lead without having somebody dictating

360
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: to you and mandating what you must do. And a

361
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 3: lot of people say no, no, America is not like that.

362
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: America is a systemically racist place. It's unfair to people

363
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: if we were all that bad? Why is everybody trying

364
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 3: to get in here? I think about that. And then

365
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 3: the cornerstone of community, of caring about each other, of

366
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 3: working together, of creating unity which gave us a normal strength,

367
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: and then life, respect for life from the womb to

368
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 3: the tomb. You know, as we've lost that respect for life,

369
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 3: look what's happened to our relationship with each other. And

370
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 3: then we have a pediatric component called a Little Patriots Program,

371
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 3: and we teach the children everything about our history, the

372
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: good to bad and ugly. We have k through five

373
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: learning programs online free of charge. By the way, a

374
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 3: number of schools are using them. Now we have a

375
00:22:53,960 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: cartoon series called Star Spangled Adventures. Each episode takes one

376
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: aspect of our history and makes the state of it.

377
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: And they're so interesting that most of the little kids,

378
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 3: when you show them one, their next question is can

379
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: I see another one? And then we have the Executive

380
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: Branch for America program, which teaches people how our government works.

381
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: And it's a certification program. You can get certified. It's

382
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 3: free of charge. Also, but so many people don't know

383
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 3: how our government works. And we particularly aim it toward

384
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 3: college students because you'll learn stuff and this that you

385
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: won't get in your political science classes. And we have

386
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: Sarah Huckabee Sanders interviewing a lot of people in their

387
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: positions and government, so you can get a feel for

388
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: exactly what do they do. Yeah, you know, doing everything

389
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: we can to try to fortify our country for future.

390
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, that's incredible.

391
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: My wife and I have about a two year old

392
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: and one on the way, and we don't let them

393
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 2: watch the iPad because what we talked about previously, but

394
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 2: when we do, inevitably it sounds like we got some

395
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: cartoons to watch. And also, one of the other things

396
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: you said that I think should be repeated, You're not

397
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: just a think tank, your do tank. I love that

398
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: because so many think tanks what do they even do?

399
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: They just sit around and think all day and nothing

400
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 2: comes of it. But uh yeah, doctor Carson, thank you

401
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 2: so much for joining us. Really appreciate you and all

402
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 2: the work that you do to fight for core values

403
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 2: in this country.

404
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for joining.

405
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 3: Us, thanks for having us, and thanks for van Patriot.

406
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Coming up on turning point tonight,

407
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 2: we've got a fantastic clip from Alex Clark's Culture Apothecary podcast.

408
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: Don't go away. We'll be right back after this.

409
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 9: Gotta admire what you've been able to do, not to weaponize,

410
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 9: but to organize on these college campuses.

Speaker 8: For a gift of any amount, you'll receive your big

416
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 8: gove sucks Cooler claim yours today.

417
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 5: Should we stop wearing sunglasses?

418
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 10: Yes, no way, except we should be wearing them indoors

419
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 10: and at night, not outdoors during the day.

420
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 5: We should wear our sunglasses at night.

421
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 10: Absolutely, Wait, explain when you so. First, let's talk about outdoors. Okay,

422
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 10: when you wear sunglasses outdoors, they block the UV and

423
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 10: that's kind of what most people wear them for. Things

424
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 10: are bright. Well, the reason things are too bright for

425
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 10: most people is because they don't get out at dawn

426
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 10: to see the sunrise, and if they did, their eyes

427
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 10: would adjust to the sun and they wouldn't need sunglasses.

428
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 10: The second reason people wear them is because of the ultraviolet,

429
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 10: and we've been told forever from optometrists and doctors that

430
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 10: UV is bad for the eyes. And in fact, our

431
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 10: eyes have receptors to read the ultraviolet light, and when

432
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 10: we cover them with sunglasses, we cannot read how much

433
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 10: UV is in the sun, and so we get sunburned.

434
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 10: When we can read how much UV is in the sun,

435
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 10: by not wearing sunglasses, we can create melanin on our

436
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 10: skin to absorb the ultraviolet, which creates vitamin D or

437
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 10: hormone D in the body. It increases nitric oxide, which

438
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 10: lowers blood pressure. All these beautiful benefits from the sun.

439
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 10: But we don't get it if we cover our eyes

440
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 10: with sunglasses because we cannot see any of the UV

441
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 10: to tell our body what to.

442
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 4: Do in the sun.

443
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 5: So when you're saying that you can tell when you're

444
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 5: going to get sunburned if you don't have sunglasses on, Like,

445
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 5: what do you mean by that?

446
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 10: Your body is really intelligent. It was designed perfectly, and

447
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 10: it was designed to work with nature and the sun.

448
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 10: So our eyes have receptors for the UV light and

449
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 10: it reads how much UV is present in the sun,

450
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 10: and it tells your body how to utilize that UV light.

451
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 10: For health, and part of that is putting melanin or

452
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 10: darker pigmentation into the skin to trap more of those

453
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 10: sunlight photons because they're healing and when you create the melanin,

454
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 10: you don't get sunburned. Your body knows how to protect itself.

455
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 5: Okay, So when I lay out, I need to make

456
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 5: sure I'm not wearing sunglasses.

457
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 4: That is critical.

458
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 10: So most people they like fashionable, right, Yeah, I look

459
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 10: good in these sunglasses, so they want to wear them outside.

460
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 10: But the fact is that nature sets our biological clocks,

461
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 10: and when we wear sunglasses and sunscreen and clothes and hats.

462
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 10: It's like if you cover an orange tree with a tarp.

463
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 10: So you put a tarp over an orange tree, what's

464
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 10: going to happen to the orange tree?

465
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 3: It's going to die.

466
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 10: Same thing with us when you cover us with sunglasses

467
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 10: and we hide from the sun. It's not how we

468
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 10: were born. We didn't come out, you know, wearing clothes

469
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 10: and sunglasses. So our biology is too boned and designed

470
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 10: to utilize the sun. And when we cover up, we

471
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 10: become less healthy.

472
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 5: So you are an expert in all things circadian rhythm

473
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 5: and light diet, as I like to call it. So

474
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 5: what time are you waking up and what time are

475
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 5: you going to bed?

476
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: Great question.

477
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 10: So I wake up with the sun, and that is

478
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 10: a different time all year. So in the winter that

479
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 10: might be seven o'clock in the morning. That's hard when

480
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 10: you have a full time corporate job. And what I

481
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 10: try to tell people, and it's a quote from a

482
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 10: book and I love it, is sleep as much as

483
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 10: you can without getting fired or divorced. So it's true

484
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 10: that the more sleep we get, the healthier we are.

485
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 10: Especially in the winter. You don't need to sleep as

486
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 10: much in my opinion and from everything I've studied, in

487
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 10: the summer. So this eight hours of sleep a night,

488
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 10: I think is both like you actually need to sleep

489
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 10: less in the summer and more in the winter. And

490
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 10: that's how we're biologically designed. So I almost always get

491
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 10: up with the dawn and get outside, bear no glasses,

492
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 10: no sunglasses, no contacts, and see the sunrise.

493
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 5: Now you live in Wisconsin, you're a Midwest guy, I am.

494
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 5: So in the winter, are you going out in the

495
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 5: snow barefoot?

496
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 4: Sometimes?

497
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 5: Really?

498
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 10: So if I could go out every day in the

499
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 10: snow barefoot, I would. Now my wife and I go

500
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 10: out every single day and see the sunrise at dawn.

501
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 10: We made a commitment for the rest of our lives

502
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 10: that we will not miss one day. If you're barefoot,

503
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 10: it slows down the photons of the sun. This gets

504
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 10: a little technical, but what it's doing is it's creating

505
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 10: things hormones in your body from sunlight. By being barefoot

506
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 10: and looking in the direction of the sun at dawn,

507
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 10: it turns on your testosterone for men and estrogen for women.

508
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 5: You committed to every single day seeing the sunrise. Absolutely

509
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 5: what if you're sick, get outside, Wow.

510
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 4: Because you're going to heal you.

511
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 10: The sun is healing.

512
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 5: So I remember, like you know, when you're reading like

513
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 5: old books like the Victorian era or something, the doctors

514
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 5: are always like, you need the sun when you're sick,

515
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 5: go to the seaside, It'll heal you. Is there truth

516
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 5: to this?

517
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 4: Okay?

518
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 10: So I used to read a lot of those books too,

519
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 10: and I'm always like, what is the deal with people

520
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 10: like I have rheumatism, I have this, I have that,

521
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 10: And they keep leaving to go south or to the seaside.

522
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 10: Their doctor is like, go to the sea, go to

523
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 10: the ocean. And in fact, in Europe they used to

524
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 10: have sunlight wings of the hospital even so they would

525
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 10: put babies and sick people in the direct sunlight outdoors.

526
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 10: They had windows and doors that opened in the hospital

527
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 10: and they would put the sickest patients there. Or now

528
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 10: the seashore has additional benefits like ozone grounding, but the

529
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 10: sunlight is absolutely healing. And when you're barefoot on the ground,

530
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 10: and especially at the sea shore, it's even extra healing

531
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 10: because of the ozone that's coming in from that ocean wave.

532
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 10: That is healing, and that makes a ton of sense.

533
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 10: You do heal when you're on vacation. Think about how

534
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 10: much better you feel and how much happy you are

535
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 10: when you're on the beach on vacation. It's a real thing.

536
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 5: Well and correct me if I'm wrong. You know more

537
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 5: than me. But also part of the reason we feel

538
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 5: so much better ocean side is the negative ions coming

539
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 5: from the waves.

540
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 3: Right.

541
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 5: And don't you get similar benefits to lighting beeswax candles.

542
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 10: Yes, so you can get negative ions from a number

543
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 10: of things like some of those salt rock lamps. Yes,

544
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 10: those can give off negative ions as well if you

545
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 10: have the right light, if you put an led light

546
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 10: in there, it's not working. But if you put an

547
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 10: incandescent light inside your salt rock lamp, you get the

548
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 10: negative ions coming off. Oh wow, same with on the

549
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 10: sea shore. So those negative ions. Here's the deal. When

550
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 10: we have inflammation in the body, it's positive charge. How

551
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 10: do we get rid of positive charge, which is inflammation

552
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 10: which leads to disease. We want to get rid of

553
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 10: that and absorb electrons negative charge. The more electrons we have,

554
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 10: the more energy we have, the more our cells can

555
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 10: heal themselves. So standing barefoot on the ground dumps positive

556
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 10: charge into the ground and absorbs free electrons. Just like

557
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 10: burning beeswax candles, just like the salt rock lamp, and

558
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 10: just like being on the ocean, right on the shore

559
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 10: of the beach. All of those negative ions are free

560
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 10: electron energy for the body.

561
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 5: And I love that. Almost everything that we're talking about,

562
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 5: for the most part, besides like as salt lamp or whatever,

563
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,239
Speaker 5: or a candle which costs barely anything. I mean, this

564
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 5: is free. This is free stuff that can greatly benefit

565
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 5: your health.

566
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 10: I kind of grew up in the biohacking space, and

567
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 10: in the biohacking space, it's chasing supplements and magic technology devices,

568
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 10: and they're all really expensive and if they all worked perfectly. Now,

569
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 10: some supplements are great, but a lot of the devices

570
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 10: they don't work perfectly, So people chase the next one

571
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 10: and the next one, and they're spending so much money

572
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 10: that what we decided is we wanted to look at

573
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 10: how to take biohacking and make it nature based, because

574
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 10: some of those things work better. So if you're going

575
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 10: to invest money in a supplement, or if you're going

576
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 10: to invest money in a device, it will work better

577
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 10: if you're already doing the free, natural things that tune

578
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 10: your body up.

579
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 5: How is the light in our homes and then in

580
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 5: our workspace office is really making us sick.

581
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 10: So many ways, So we are a light poisoned population.

582
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 10: The light that we're exposed to is highly intense in

583
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 10: the blue color of light. So if you look around

584
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 10: yourself on your device, your tablet, your phone, your television,

585
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 10: your laptop, the overhead lighting at the office or the gym,

586
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 10: it doesn't look blue. But that white light that we

587
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 10: see is based on a blue led technology. So the

588
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 10: thing that drives the light out of those lights that

589
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 10: are all around us now that everything's led, is blue

590
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 10: frequencies of light, and so if you analyze it with

591
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 10: a scientific instrument, it will show you there's no infrared,

592
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 10: almost zero red light, very little yellow, and a ton

593
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 10: of blue light. Blue light in itself is not bad,

594
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 10: but blue light becomes toxic when we're exposed to too

595
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 10: much of it. It messes with our circadian rhythm. It

596
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 10: is actually associated with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity

597
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 10: if we see it after sunset and macular degeneration during

598
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 10: the day because we have so much of it hitting

599
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 10: our eyes causing for your radicals.

600
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 5: How do you know if your circadian rhythm is off?

601
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 10: You would know if your circadian rhythm, which is this

602
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 10: natural twenty four hour cycle that's designed into our biology

603
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 10: and it is controlled by light and dark cycles of

604
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 10: the earth, it will be off if you're not waking

605
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 10: up and seeing the sunrise and seeing the sunset at night,

606
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 10: and then not seeing any light after the sunsets. Now,

607
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 10: how many of us none have the lights off after

608
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 10: the sunsets, especially in winter when it Wisconsin, it's four

609
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 10: pm when the sun sets.

610
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: Immediately, Nobody has thought about you, who's just twenty four

611
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: to seven flooding the zone.

612
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 9: Back to my thirteen year old owning this space every.

613
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 11: Day getting a convert and then I'm thinking about we're

614
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 11: gonna stand back and watch you.

615
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 9: Run circles around us.

616
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 7: He said it best at Turning Point, USA, where relentless

617
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 7: we're changing minds on campuses every semester, defending conservative values

00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: of clip, but I do think it's fascinating and interesting.

652
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: We'll call it a Maga Monday clip. Watch Watch this

653
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 2: that it will discuss.

654
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 11: We're standing on the ancestral and unseated land of the

655
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 11: Tanawanda tribe with gratitude.

656
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 4: Talking about my cousin's place.

657
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 11: Okay, but before that, it was the Tonawanda's place.

658
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 10: It was unjustly taken from them.

659
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 9: Actually used to belong to my great uncle Lorenzo and

660
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 9: to my good for nothing Uncle Aldo lost the will

661
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 9: and swindled it from my aunt burned dad, even though

662
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 9: the grandfather clearly left at all the kids. Okay, fine,

663
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 9: but long before that it was taken from the Tonawanda.

664
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 9: Who would they take it from.

665
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: There's no record that they took it from anyone.

666
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 9: So now we gotta reward them and keeping bad records,

667
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 9: just like Uncle Aldo. We're not rewarding them, Guido, we're

668
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 9: simply acknowledging that.

669
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: Well, that's worse.

670
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 9: That's like robbing a bank and then braging about it.

671
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm not bragging about it.

672
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 9: If you're not giving them money back, then you're bragging

673
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 9: about it.

674
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 11: It's not mine to get back.

675
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 4: Well, there's the problem.

676
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 11: They were right, I mean, we're wrong.

677
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: It's wrong.

678
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 9: It's important to acknowledge that the Tonawanda tribe is indigenous

679
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 9: to this region. So are my cousins my aunt burned there,

680
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 9: squeeze out all twelve of them in a bad bedroom.

681
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 9: Will look on the porch, that porch right over there.

682
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 4: This is why, Okay, here's why.

683
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: I think this is like kind of a Maga Monday

684
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: clip because I think people making fun of the things

685
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: that we're talking about, the idea of land acknowledgments.

686
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 4: This land once belonged to this Indian tribe and.

687
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: Okay, well who did they take it from through force

688
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 2: and conquer it from another tribecause that's how that all works.

689
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 2: I think people making fun of that, especially in that

690
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 2: kind of way. I don't think that was like a

691
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: conservative outlet.

692
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 4: Maybe it was. I don't know.

693
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 2: I found that clip on the internet. It could have

694
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: been the Babylon, but it could have been somebody on

695
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: our side. But the fact that it's being made fun of,

696
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: I think as an indicator that Mega is just winning,

697
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: We're just taking over the culture, and I just I

698
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 2: think that's the best thing that can happen. So yeah,

699
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 2: I always think it's funny to make fun of the

700
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 2: dumb things the libs are doing. As I say, often

701
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: there is a secret plot that is run by conservatives

702
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 2: with the intent of making liberals look stupid, and that

703
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 2: secret plot is called let Them Talk Operation.

704
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 4: Let Them Talk.

705
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 2: It's actually working out beautifully, and the more we make

706
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: fun of that, I think the better situation will be.

707
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 4: And let's let's get to another clip. Watch this, good man.

708
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, pause this really clip. Let me set let

709
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 2: me set this up really quick. I should have set

710
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 2: this up by This is the most patient person I've

711
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: ever seen in my life. If I were sitting in

712
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 2: this seat, I would be panicking. That's the setup. There's

713
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: not much discussion needed afterward.

714
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 4: Watch this, good man.

715
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 6: Okay to me, you gonna hit him.

716
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 2: He did not have the right away.

717
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 3: There's a person.

718
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 6: There's a person.

Speaker 3: Okay, it's a red lay.

00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 6: Now we're in the intersection. Turn right place, so exit

740
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 6: this intersection because we're in it and we have to

741

Speaker 4: There's a bus.

747
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: The calmness that that guy had, maybe we should have

748
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: that guy teach lessons to all the libs. Hey, if

749
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: you're mad about something, that's okay, just kind of let

750
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: it settle, live with it, process it, and figure out

751
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: a tactful way to approach it.

752
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 4: There's a whole bus coming. There's a bus coming. There's

Speaker 4: a whole bus coming.

754
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 2: No, maybe maybe you should be a little bit more frantic,

755
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: because that's actually a really serious and immediate situation.

756
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 4: But I liked that guy's just overall demeanor.

757
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: It made me feel Actually, no, it made me feel

Speaker 2: people felt watching that. I was like, Ah, they're gonna crash.

761
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 2: Somebody's gonna die. This is not good. So there's that.

762
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 2: Do we have time for this? Go ahead and play

763
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,080

Speaker 2: check this out.

765
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,200

00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: Who he's a guy when you have me.

767
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,800

Speaker 11: Say that I had hopefully what I was doing.

770
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 2: And I guess we do mean then, because the whole

771
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 2: inside of my car exploded. Now, if you have that problem,

772
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: you need to hopefully you're calling. The guy who was

773
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 2: in that driving school seat would be like, Hey, don't

774
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 2: worry about it, It'll be fine. Otherwise, I don't know.

775

Speaker 2: That's gonna do it first here at turning point tonight,

777
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 2: Charlie's gonna take usut. Well, see you tomorrow, same time,

778
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 2: same place. God blessed America.

779
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 7: How have you been treated by the trans jihadists?

780
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 3: Riley?

781
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 11: Oh gosh, we could spend the rest of our of

782
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 11: our allotted time talking about this. I will say it's remarkable.

783
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 11: The shift that we have seen again when you compare

784
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 11: now to three years ago, and that's that's across every

785
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 11: realm of society right even on you know, watching the

786
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 11: football field, you've got people like Nick Bosa out there

787
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 11: doing the little Trump dance that couldn't have happened three

788
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 11: years ago. He was fined over eleven thousand dollars for

789
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 11: wearing a Maga hat. They told him, they asked him,

790
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 11: you know, do you regret this? He said, no, I

791
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 11: would do it again. The next day he gets out

792
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 11: there and does that little dance. And while that dance

793
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 11: might seem silly, it might seem like it's, you know,

794
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 11: just a silly little movement celebration. No, that dance represents

795
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 11: a whole lot. It represents free speech, It represents how

796
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 11: cancel culture is losing its grip. It represents patriotism that

797
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 11: I believe people have been desperate for. But to answer

798
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 11: your question, all that's all that to a test to

799
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 11: the shift that we have seen, and certainly since November fifth,

800
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 11: and even more so since January twentieth, I compare that

801
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 11: to three years ago. Let me just tell you actually

802
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 11: what my university did to me. Take you back to

803
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 11: twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two. I will never forget

804
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 11: when we learned of who Will Thomas was, When we

805
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 11: learned he was going to be competing in the pool

806
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 11: with us, When we learned he was going to be

807
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 11: sharing a locker room with us, my whole team opposed this. Right,

808
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 11: my team of forty girls. None of us thought this

809
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 11: was was fair or safe, or righteous, or moral or

810
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 11: just by any means, but our university that they sat

811
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 11: us down in a room. We had to do restorative

812
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 11: justice circles. We had to go to verbatim, these educational

813
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 11: meetings where we weren't allowed to leave until they until verbatim,

814
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 11: they felt like we had been properly re educated. We

815
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 11: were told, you're going to lose all of your friends

816
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 11: if you speak out about this. You know, lifelong friends,

817
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 11: friends you've had for forever. They're not gonna want to

818
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 11: talk to you anymore. They said, Riley, you know your

819
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 11: plan is dental school after college. Well you'll never get in.

820
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 11: No dental school will ever even look at your application

821
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 11: if you speak up about this, because they're going to

822
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 11: see that you're a transpho. And if you want a

823
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 11: job after college, forget it. It's standard practice for an

824
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 11: employer to look up their candidates for their job, and

825
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 11: they will never hire you.

826
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: Uh.

827
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 11: You know, Riley, you signed that scholarship and you did

828
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 11: it willingly. And when you did, you gave away your

829
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 11: rights to speak your own personal capacity. Remember who you represent,

830
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 11: whose name is across your chest and across your cap,

831
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 11: because it's not yours, it's ours. And understand we have

832
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 11: already taken your stance for you. I will never forget

833
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 11: when they sat us down as a team, they brought

834
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 11: in an outside professional, whatever that means. I don't know

835
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 11: what qualifications you need for this job. But she set

836
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 11: us down and she said, what it sounds like you're

837
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 11: advocating for is segregation. And do you remember how America

838
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 11: treated African Americans? Is that the side of history you

839
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 11: want to be on? You know who else advocated for segregation?

840
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 11: The KKK. That is who you are linking yourself to

841
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 11: if you oppose undressing next to a man, they told

842
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 11: us point blank, outright that we would be equivalent to

843
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 11: murderers because we would have blood on our hands, and

844
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 11: they would follow it with and you don't want that.

845
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 11: You don't want to be a murderer, do you no?

846
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 11: So I suggest you be kind and I suggest you'd

847
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 11: be inclusive and believe it or not, that is effective.

848
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 4: That works.

849
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 11: Telling girls are going to be racist murderers if they

850
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 11: defend themselves, or god forbid, they're people like my younger sister,

851
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 11: it's emotional blackmail. But when you're talking to eighteen, nineteen

852
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 11: twenty year old girls, they knew what they were doing.

853
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 11: But to speak more specifically to the transactivists, it was

854
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 11: actually at a turning point event at San Francisco State

855
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,919
Speaker 11: University where I went there to share my message. Again,

856
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 11: nothing even really opinionated. It was at that point. I mean,

857
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 11: I pretty much only spoke to my lived experience, and

858
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 11: it was a classroom setting, so you know, a podium

859
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 11: at the front, seats out in the audience like a

860
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 11: whiteboard behind me. And upon delivering my message, a group

861
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 11: of protesters Russian they turn off the lights, hundreds of them.

862
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 11: They turn off the lights to the room so it's

863
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 11: pitch black, and they ambush me like I'm fully accosted.

864
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 11: I'm being pushed, I'm being shoved, I'm being like punched

865
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 11: in the face by these men wearing dresses, which fortunately

866
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 11: for me. Their punches don't hurt that bad, but nonetheless,

867
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 11: these protesters ended up barricading me in a room and

868
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 11: holding me for ransom for about I mean for almost

869
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 11: five hours, demanding that if I wanted to make it

870
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 11: back home to see my family safely again, I had

871
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 11: to pay them money. You might be wondering where were

872
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 11: the police. We were in San Francisco, so the police

873
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 11: were being held for ransom with me our three in

874
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 11: this room, right, I'm looking at them. Can't you do something?

875
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 11: Isn't it actually your job to do something, to which

876
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 11: they outright said no, no, we can't do anything. We're

877
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 11: not allowed to do anything because we're not allowed to

878
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 11: be seen as anything other than an ally to that

879
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 11: community or else we'll lose our jobs again, the same

880
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 11: community who's on the other side of the door calling

881
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 11: these officers racist pigs for protecting a white girl like me. Anyways,

882
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 11: it's about midnight at this point, the middle of the night,

883
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 11: and the dean of students shows up and starts negotiating

884
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 11: with the students how much I owe each of them

885
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 11: to be able to leave, which the price they agreed

886
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 11: upon was ten dollars each, which makes me mad because

887
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 11: I think I'm worth more than ten dollars. Eventually we

888
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 11: were able to get out of that room, but not

889
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 11: because the protesters dispersed or were letting up decided to

890
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 11: go home, know about I mean, however, many officers had

891
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 11: to form a diamond around me we pushed out. But

892
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 11: the most remarkable part about this story is what happened

893
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 11: the next day when the vice president of student Affairs

894
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 11: at the university so now a university wide email so

895
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 11: to all faculty, all staff, the entire student body. And

896
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 11: in this email she said, we are so proud of

897
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 11: our brave students for handling Riley Gaines and the manner

898
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 11: that they did. We know how deeply traumatic her presence

899
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 11: is on this campus. And so here's some counseling resources

900
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 11: for you all. You know, take the day off of school.

901
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 11: Just know that we see you, we love you, we

902
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 11: hear you, and we stand with you. No mention of,

903
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 11: of of course, the condemnation of violence, violence against women

904
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 11: for that matter. No mention of the value and upholding

905
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 11: free speech, no, of course not. I could tell story

906
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 11: after story after story of being spit on, of people

907
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 11: throwing glass bottles at me, pouring drinks on me for hours.

908
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 11: But again that shift that we've seen, and I mean

909
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 11: to be very clear, from the beginning the support has

910
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 11: been tenfold compared to the negative. But you compare three

911
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 11: years ago to now, A lot of the support at

912
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 11: the beginning was in privacy or in secrecy, or in

913
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 11: direct messages or done through winks or whispers. That is

914
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 11: totally shifted. Now people are so much more bold and

915
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 11: saying men cannot become women.

916
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 7: It
