00:01:01.440 servitive brand i'll be totally honest with you it wasn't easy for me to initially buy in

00:01:07.820 to the health and wellness space my fitness has always mattered to me as a an athlete you know

00:01:15.360 even still i take lifting and my time in the gym very seriously but i think because i was a swimmer

00:01:20.240 I was really able to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted.

00:01:24.380 And so it's only now, after graduating, being retired from my sport,

00:01:28.520 most importantly, having a daughter, where these things,

00:01:31.400 what I'm ingesting, the chemicals that I'm using in my daily life,

00:01:35.740 now those things are really, really important to me.

00:01:38.940 I just love Alex. She is like a rocket.

00:01:43.700 So enjoy this episode with Alex Clark here.

00:01:46.420 well alex thank you for joining the riley gains show um a lot of people know you now as the maha

00:01:54.960 queen but i just recently got to hear kind of how you got here which i found it to be super

00:02:00.960 interesting can you give a little background on how you went from like pop culture to now

00:02:06.540 you're kind of dipped your foot into the political sphere even yeah i never would have thought that

00:02:12.340 this would be the trajectory of my life. So when I was 18 years old, I was graduating high school.

00:02:17.800 I had plans to go to school for fashion, actually, in journalism. I wanted to go to this liberal arts

00:02:22.680 school in Chicago. And at the last minute, I decided to stay back, enroll in a community

00:02:27.900 college and intern at a local radio station. There was a morning show that I loved listening

00:02:31.600 to in Louisville, Kentucky. I grew up in southern Indiana, so there was like a bridge, a 10-minute

00:02:36.440 drive from southern Indiana to Louisville. A lot of people would live in Indiana, better taxes,

00:02:41.080 and then drive into Kentucky.

00:02:43.720 And so that was kind of my story.

00:02:45.780 I applied to be an intern on this show

00:02:48.200 and I thought, well, it would just be so fun

00:02:51.420 to take a semester off and do this

00:02:53.480 before I go away to school

00:02:54.400 because I had grown up listening to the show

00:02:56.240 and just really loved them.

00:02:57.820 It felt like they were my parents,

00:02:58.980 like growing up every single day

00:03:00.540 and getting ready and listening to them.

00:03:02.560 So I auditioned, got the internship,

00:03:05.040 and then within a month,

00:03:06.380 the general manager of that radio station cluster

00:03:08.880 called me into his office and said,

00:03:10.320 I think that you need to rethink your career.

00:03:12.220 I think that you are meant to do this.

00:03:14.040 I've never, this is his words.

00:03:15.740 He said, I've never seen so much raw talent

00:03:18.220 at such a young age in any of our interns.

00:03:20.920 And so he made a bet with me.

00:03:22.960 He was like, audition down the hall.

00:03:24.600 There's an opening on our pop radio station.

00:03:26.100 If you get it, which was for like a sidekick

00:03:28.500 on this other morning show.

00:03:30.040 If they choose you, maybe delay going to school for fashion

00:03:34.300 and pursue a career in radio.

00:03:36.200 If they don't, then go ahead once the semester is up

00:03:38.820 and go to Chicago for school.

00:03:40.320 And so I had auditioned. There was like seven other people. They all had broadcasting experience in TV or radio. And I ended up getting chosen. And I think it was just because I was the age of the audience. And so the host really loved that on a pop radio station, you know, where you're talking about dating and all this kind of stuff. Like I was their listener. So I just really related to the people that they were trying to reach on the show.

00:04:02.960 and I freaked out and cried because I was so scared

00:04:08.100 and I was like, well, I don't even know how to turn a mic on

00:04:10.080 and they were like, we're going to teach you everything you need to learn

00:04:11.980 so I ended up dropping out of school and pursuing a career in radio

00:04:17.020 and I loved it, it's the first real love of my life

00:04:19.960 I love the years that I was in radio so much

00:04:23.820 there's just nothing that compares to that broadcasting medium

00:04:26.580 it's so much fun, it's so intimate because people listen to you

00:04:30.820 but they don't see you

00:04:32.140 And so there's just something special about that, that only people really that work in radio can understand.

00:04:37.400 But I was on a number one rated morning show.

00:04:40.500 Then they put me in the afternoons as well.

00:04:42.060 So I was doing two shifts.

00:04:43.140 I was getting there at 6 a.m.

00:04:44.860 And then I was on the air until 3 p.m.

00:04:47.000 It was crazy.

00:04:48.160 And that show went number one as well.

00:04:50.140 And then I ended up moving to Indianapolis to co-host my own morning show with my name on it for several years.

00:04:55.920 And while I was there, I had gotten hired two months before President Trump got elected his first term.

00:05:02.140 And at that time, I'd always been openly conservative, but it didn't really matter until President Trump became president.

00:05:09.440 So all of a sudden, you know, you were enemy number one if you had voted for Donald Trump, whereas like if you had voted Republican before, sure, people may not like it, but it just wasn't this big of a deal.

00:05:18.800 And so Trump becomes president and every single thing that I would say ended up getting me in trouble.

00:05:23.520 So I had three years of of, you know, being yanked off the air, being brought into closed door meetings, asking me, you know, why did you say that you're not supposed to get political?

00:05:33.420 Meanwhile, I had producers on my show who were talking about toxic masculinity and how Donald Trump is a racist and nobody ever called them into the same meeting.

00:05:41.140 So it was very one-sided, always attacking me for being conservative.

00:05:45.260 And there was a producer that was hired with the main goal of being told, like, your job is to control Alex and mute her, you know, and stuff if she says things that she's not supposed to say about politics or religion.

00:05:56.280 And they were asking me to host the local women's march.

00:06:00.020 They wanted me to host trans girl events, you know, be the leader of the pride parade or whatever that's called, where you're like the front person walking.

00:06:10.300 what is that called general something i can't think of that the person in a parade um anyway

00:06:15.480 so i was having a lot of trouble and then this woman was listening there was a mom listening in 1.00

00:06:23.100 the car while i was on the air and i guess she had her kids in the car and i had casually mentioned

00:06:27.040 very flippantly i'm a member of the nra and this mother called the fcc the federal communications

00:06:34.580 Commission, which is the government, by the way, and said this woman should be yanked off the air. 1.00

00:06:40.760 She is a danger to children. You should not allow her on your radio station because of what she said

00:06:45.800 this morning. And so whenever a citizen complains to the FCC, usually there's a full investigation

00:06:52.340 because somebody said the F-bomb, for example, you know, on live radio or TV, you're not allowed

00:06:57.020 to do those things. You get fined. And so the government then is required to look into it to

00:07:01.900 see if a rule was actually broken and if they need to request money from your broadcasting

00:07:06.900 affiliate. And there was obviously nothing. I'd said nothing. But I had to be alerted that there

00:07:13.500 were lawyers looking into what I had said that day, which was just mentioning that I was an NRA

00:07:18.060 member and what that mother had said. And so I kind of knew the writing was on the wall. This was

00:07:22.840 right before Harvey Weinstein, right before the Me Too movement, right before we started saying

00:07:27.160 things like you know so and so is canceled and I saw that if I didn't leave on my own accord I would

00:07:36.280 without a doubt be fired at some point very soon for something that I said because of my beliefs

00:07:41.760 like I I knew that I would be canceled you know before that became became a word and so I started

00:07:47.140 making plans to try to figure out how to get out of radio and my first instinct because my experience

00:07:53.460 was entertainment and pop radio was to host a conservative pop culture show and i only knew

00:07:59.820 radio so i just thought okay conservative talk radio i'm hosting this show and i and i had in

00:08:05.060 my head this idea of fox news and e-news having a baby that was what i wanted this show to be

00:08:10.320 and i started kind of showing um i kind of started shopping this idea around with people that i knew

00:08:16.260 in the conservative talk radio space and everybody was like you know you're cute basically pat on the

00:08:20.780 head, but this isn't going to work. Nobody is going to listen to this on conservative talk

00:08:25.380 radio because the audience is primarily older men. And so they're not interested in pop culture 0.99

00:08:30.040 entertainment news. And I just thought, man, you're wrong. I know there's an audience for

00:08:34.040 this. I have to find the right place that would house it. But I know there's an audience because

00:08:37.460 at that time I'm in my mid twenties, my friends and I are all wanting to hear about like, okay,

00:08:42.520 what's a conservative response to Miley Cyrus licking an abortion is healthcare cake. Right. 1.00

00:08:47.420 and there was nobody there were people like ben shapiro that were kind of making fun of pop culture

00:08:52.240 so they'd just be like ah we don't need you know don't even pay attention to this kind of stuff but

00:08:56.640 i wanted to hear from people who were like me where i'm a fan of her but i disagree with her

00:09:01.640 political views and so what would the take be then i just thought that that would be a smarter

00:09:05.380 show to listen to um in regards to pop culture in the conservative space and it didn't exist

00:09:11.000 There was no conservative pop culture show at that time. And I had gone to a turning point event just for fun in June of 2018, kind of looking for like minded friends and things like that.

00:09:22.900 I had been invited by somebody. And so for that next year into 2019, you know, I had been thinking of this idea of taking my show somewhere and totally was a God thing because I was thinking I needed to quit and I didn't know what I was going to do.

00:09:37.220 but it was getting so bad for me and getting in trouble all the time for my views that i was like

00:09:40.500 i think i'm just gonna have to quit even without another job lined up and that's when turning point

00:09:45.160 dm me on instagram and they were just like hey we love what you do we love that you're young in

00:09:49.740 media you're outspokenly conservative if you ever want to work together let me know now i know now

00:09:55.420 that they were thinking of me in a influencer capacity they were just starting their influencer

00:10:00.080 program i didn't know what an influencer was i had been a public figure in in broadcasting since i

00:10:05.180 was 18 years old so that's all i know is broadcasting if someone says we want to talk

00:10:10.000 about how to work together i'm assuming they want to do a show with me so i get on the phone with

00:10:14.700 with turning point and i'm explaining like hey i've got this show idea and all this and they're

00:10:19.320 like wait what they had never thought about doing shows because turning point usa isn't a media

00:10:24.480 company and uh i had pitched this whole idea for this pop culture show it's like five minutes a

00:10:29.100 day let's put it on social media snapchat or youtube or something we'll figure it out and uh

00:10:33.980 They loved it. Charlie loved it. He was like, yeah, we should totally try to reach the young women.

00:10:38.200 This seems really cool. Nobody else is doing it.

00:10:41.100 So they hired me and moved me from Indiana to to Arizona.

00:10:46.740 And that was in July of 2019. I've been here ever since I had left or I had been hired a month after Brandon Tatum and Kyle Kashuv and Candace Owens and them had left Turning Point USA or been fired or whatever,

00:11:01.760 depending on the person, Ana Paulina Luna.

00:11:05.040 But there was a huge exodus of all of those people

00:11:07.200 that we know in the conservative movement.

00:11:09.620 And then I was the next person hired.

00:11:12.240 And so, yeah, it's been crazy

00:11:14.380 because when I first got hired,

00:11:15.680 it was one building with like 40 employees,

00:11:18.340 roughly 40, 60 employees.

00:11:20.180 And we could all fit in one space.

00:11:21.720 And now we've got multiple buildings,

00:11:24.000 hundreds of employees.

00:11:25.220 I don't even know everybody's name at this point.

00:11:26.860 There's so many people.

00:11:28.340 And it's just been really cool

00:11:30.040 to kind of be here with Charlie watching the growth of Turning Point. And during the pandemic,

00:11:37.580 you know, obviously I don't do the pop culture show anymore because during the pandemic,

00:11:40.660 when they mandated the vaccine, I was super disturbed by that, had never looked into pharma

00:11:46.600 or our food or anything ever before. I'd never questioned any of that. And I assumed if food

00:11:51.720 was being sold in grocery stores, it must be safe, right? Like there's got to be crazy regulations.

00:11:55.860 come to find out there's like 8,000 chemicals that are allowed in American food that aren't

00:12:01.000 allowed in food in other countries. So I start learning all of this and learning that, you know,

00:12:05.720 the FDA had definitely been wrong about drugs before. Oxycontin is a prime example. So how do

00:12:12.060 we know that they're not wrong about the advice they're sharing about the vaccines? It started me

00:12:16.780 on a massive rabbit hole. Health and wellness became my new obsession. I just could not stop

00:12:21.580 reading and learning everything that i possibly could and uh i had a second show at that time a

00:12:28.020 podcast and we ended up flipping the format of that podcast to be exactly uh specifically a

00:12:33.880 health and wellness show in september of 2024 so as the maha movement is is being birthed my show

00:12:40.780 comes out culture apothecary which is a conservative health and wellness interview podcast and it just

00:12:46.020 It blows up and is a huge success just because it was the right place at the right time, I guess.

00:12:52.480 But, yeah, that's the whole story.

00:12:54.080 Oh, my gosh.

00:12:54.660 Well, yeah, now it's like a top 10 worldwide health and wellness podcast, no?

00:12:59.940 Yeah, yeah.

00:13:00.680 It's been phenomenal.

00:13:01.940 And Charlie was super proud.

00:13:03.220 And I'll never forget in October of 2024, you know, the show had been out about a month.

00:13:09.020 And we're looking at the numbers.

00:13:10.780 And Charlie, we're sending them to Charlie.

00:13:12.260 We're like, oh, my gosh, the show is massive.

00:13:14.440 This is a joggernaut of a show.

00:13:16.600 And Charlie's like, well, you need to run these numbers again.

00:13:18.380 There's no way this is correct.

00:13:19.700 And we were like, we've ran them seven times.

00:13:22.660 This is correct.

00:13:23.580 And he was like, well, geez, you're like right behind me.

00:13:26.580 And I was like, I know this is the right move.

00:13:29.020 So he was so proud and really believed in Maha.

00:13:32.820 Charlie, the last time that he had me on his show was about two weeks before his murder in August.

00:13:37.220 And he had me come on to talk about pesticide liability shields.

00:13:41.160 These bills that were going to be starting to be introduced in multiple states across the country where people in certain states would not be able to sue chemical companies if they got sick, kind of like what we did with vaccines in the 80s.

00:13:52.600 And so that was the last thing that Charlie had me on his show for to talk about.

00:13:56.280 He really thought this stuff was important.

00:13:58.380 He thought that talking about how the Republican Party was captured by big chemical in big ag was important.

00:14:05.280 And so I just feel like, you know, since his death, I've spent a lot of time focusing on that issue.

00:14:10.500 I just feel like because that was the last conversation that I had with him publicly, you know, that it's like my duty to finish this mission and see this through.

00:14:20.440 And so it's been kind of my number one thing now for the last several months.

00:14:25.500 You may have heard me talk about my friends at Y-Refi before.

00:14:28.680 What they do is truly amazing.

00:14:31.220 And so my question for you, are you struggling with private student loan debt?

00:14:34.900 Is even your minimum payment higher than what you can actually afford?

00:14:38.120 Maybe you're even in default.

00:14:40.020 Well, I have good news that you're not alone and WhyRefi can help.

00:14:43.840 They refinance private student loans that other companies will not even touch,

00:14:47.440 and they will give you a custom loan payment plan based on your ability to pay.

00:14:51.880 They work with each borrower individually to create and craft a payment that works for them.

00:14:58.080 They can help you reduce your monthly payment and your total cost.

00:15:01.760 You will get a low fixed interest rate that you couldn't get anywhere else.

00:15:04.920 You will be able to finally see that light at the end of the tunnel.

00:15:08.360 And the best part is Y-R-E-F-I does not care what your credit score is.

00:15:13.120 This might sound too good to be true.

00:15:14.820 It's not.

00:15:15.460 I encourage you to go to Y-R-E-F-I dot com. 0.98

00:15:17.760 That is Y-R-E-F-I dot com. 1.00

00:15:19.960 And if they ask, be sure to tell them that Riley sent you.

00:15:24.040 Well, and the amazing thing about that is you're incredibly successful at it,

00:15:28.180 especially at the state level.

00:15:29.700 Even in my home state of Tennessee, when this came up, I mean,

00:15:32.480 we were immediately texting.

00:15:33.580 You told me all of the action item things to do to make sure that this

00:15:37.400 didn't pass, even in a conservative state like Tennessee, where people would imagine this isn't

00:15:42.040 happening. But again, nonetheless, here we are. But it speaks to, I think, the trust that you have

00:15:48.620 built with your audience, especially those who have followed you maybe since 2016, 2017, 2018

00:15:54.820 till now. They've grown with you almost. And that's a really powerful and really rare thing.

00:16:02.940 Yeah. You know, people started listening to me with poplitics. That was that pop culture show

00:16:07.160 with Turning Point USA. That was 2019. I was in my mid-20s. A lot of them were also in their

00:16:12.660 mid-20s. And so now it's been seven years. They are having kids. They're getting married. They're

00:16:18.600 starting families. So they're starting to look into their health and their children's health

00:16:22.580 and, you know, wanting to do what's best for their family on that front. And usually it is

00:16:27.000 moms that are making those little micro decisions every single day. You know, we don't only vote 1.00

00:16:32.200 when it comes to our health in an election year. We vote three times a day with what we put on our

00:16:36.640 plates. And so I think a lot of moms started realizing, especially as their kids entered

00:16:41.360 school age, why is my kid developing all these allergies? You know, why does my kid have all

00:16:46.800 these behavioral issues? Does it have something to do with what they're eating? And they wanted

00:16:51.640 answers. And I don't have kids yet, but my audience does. And so I really felt like it was

00:16:57.640 my duty to, and I owed it to them with their support of me to make it a public mission to

00:17:03.900 get those answers plus for when i do god willing have kids of my own one day uh hopefully sooner

00:17:09.220 rather than later is you know i want to have a better state of health in this country for them

00:17:15.920 than i had growing up which you and i well no you're gen are you gen z i'm gen z oh my gosh

00:17:21.680 okay so i'm a millennial so i mean we you guys have had a bad i would say worse than my generation

00:17:27.360 when it comes to pharmaceutical intervention at a very young age i feel like your generation

00:17:31.720 everybody has been put on antidepressants my generation we were given a faulty food pyramid

00:17:37.700 so just the building blocks of health like what do we eat how do we know what is healthy that was

00:17:43.440 completely skewed and bought by industry so the direction we were given was totally wrong gmos

00:17:49.280 were introduced to the food system for us the vaccine schedule exploded with us we were all

00:17:53.640 put on birth control by default i think your generation was too around 14 15 years old for

00:17:57.580 pretty much no reason and then kept on that for 10 years developing autoimmune diseases having

00:18:03.640 trouble getting pregnant because while you're on the pill it's suppressing symptoms of your body 0.60

00:18:08.260 kind of letting you know hormonally things are things are not right so you can get them fixed

00:18:12.380 so by the time you get off the pill and you want to have a family you can't and then you are sold

00:18:17.380 IVF hey $20,000 here $40,000 here we got to do multiple rounds to try to get you pregnant 1.00

00:18:23.160 Meanwhile, nobody is getting to root cause. Lifestyle, sunlight, sleep, food. Health is so cheap. It really is cheaper than you think. You don't have to spend all this money on all these crazy gadgets and habits and memberships. You can if you want. I mean, there's certainly things like that that I have at home because I just want to.

00:18:46.900 But it's not absolutely necessary to be healthy. Right. You don't need to own a red light device to get red light, infrared light.

00:18:56.840 You can just wake up with the sunrise and go for a 10 minute walk, 20 minute walk outside with your dog or your baby as the sun is coming up or take a sunset walk after dinner.

00:19:06.140 And you will get those same infrared rays for free. So there's a lot of things that I think overwhelms people about the health and wellness space.

00:19:13.620 But just know that none of that is required. It really is sunlight, sleep, community with family and friends, being in nature, having fresh, clean air and real food.

00:19:26.020 Yeah. And you mentioned even little micro changes can make a really big difference. And so I agree with you.

00:19:32.000 I think the wellness space, it sometimes can come off overwhelming because people, especially young women, really, they feel like they have to buy in completely to fully immerse themselves into wellness and health and everything that it means to embody those things.

00:19:47.800 But you're right.

00:19:48.660 It doesn't have to be that way to make a big change in your life.

00:19:51.980 And you spoke to infertility.

00:19:53.240 And this is something that I know my audience, which also tends to be younger women, this is something they care very deeply about.

00:20:00.860 I think it's like, what, one in eight families in today's world, maybe that's just America,

00:20:08.100 that are facing infertility. And I know my grandparents' generation, they didn't seem

00:20:13.200 to struggle with this, at least not anywhere near the same rate. Women specifically, they're 1.00

00:20:18.480 facing fertility problems that were seemingly rare just a generation ago. And so my thought is this

00:20:25.900 didn't happen overnight. And so can you give us a little more insight? You have fantastic guests

00:20:31.180 on your show, Culture Apothecary. Can you give us some insight maybe that you've learned from your

00:20:35.980 guests as to why the infertility rate and the birth rate is so low? Infertility rate high,

00:20:41.940 birth rate low. When you have something like infertility kind of exploding with a younger

00:20:50.760 generation, you have to look at the environment and lifestyle changes. It's obviously not genetic,

00:20:57.220 right? Because this hasn't been happening throughout multiple generations at such a

00:21:00.780 systemic level. It's not normal that infertility rates are rising 1% every year. It's common.

00:21:07.460 That doesn't mean it's normal. And so that tells us there is a grave danger, right? There is

00:21:12.180 something dramatically, drastically wrong with something that we are doing in the Western world.

00:21:19.380 and and that is that is limiting you know our ability to be able to conceive and have children

00:21:24.920 the infertility crisis can be chalked up to many different environmental things and decisions

00:21:33.520 some that we make and some that are out of our control to some extent one that would be kind of

00:21:40.440 out of our control would be the amount of pesticides that are being sprayed on anything

00:21:45.440 and everything all around america yes we have we have chemicals like glyphosate being sprayed on

00:21:53.460 our crops that is definitely contributing to infertility but also we are spraying roundup

00:21:59.020 on our sidewalks in our neighborhoods we are getting lawn services that come once a month

00:22:04.380 or every couple months to spray our yards and you think well i only spray the front yard we don't

00:22:09.080 spray the backyard listen there is runoff there is there is wind right that's blowing these

00:22:17.380 chemicals so if you are somebody who is spraying your front yard because you don't want dandelions

00:22:22.520 uh it's and your kids only play in the backyard you you are being fooled okay this stuff is getting

00:22:31.080 all over your yard and our skin is absorbing these chemicals it is infiltrating your children

00:22:36.460 and your pet's bloodstreams, including your own if you're somebody that is having trouble getting

00:22:40.860 pregnant. We're spraying Roundup around our parks, at our schools that our kids play at, 1.00

00:22:46.000 our parks and our communities that our kids play at. So this is a massive factor. The other thing

00:22:52.200 that we're doing is we are using body care products, which again, our skin absorbs, that has

00:22:59.120 endocrine disruptors in it. So this could be something like literal perfume or fragrance,

00:23:04.160 but also body wash, deodorant, makeup, lotion that has the word fragrance or perfume.

00:23:11.620 There's also a slew of other chemicals, but definitely anything that has fragrance is

00:23:15.580 impacting your endocrine system and your hormones. And yes, your ability to get pregnant. It's also

00:23:21.100 leading to this massive amount of young girls, some as young as seven or eight that are now

00:23:26.360 starting puberty because they are being loaded with plastic and estrogen in their bodies because

00:23:33.540 of what's in their home environment with cleaning products that their parents are using, the body

00:23:37.700 wash that their mom is buying them, or eating fast food out of a hot plastic, warming up leftovers

00:23:44.440 in hot plastic containers, drinking out of plastic water bottles. So I would say a couple things. If

00:23:50.300 you are experiencing or struggling with getting pregnant, one, you have got to look at the toxic 1.00

00:23:55.320 load in your life. Are you eating ultra processed food? Are your kids eating ultra processed food?

00:24:00.840 You say, well, you know, we just go a couple times a week before soccer practice.

00:24:05.160 We go to Chick-fil-A.

00:24:05.980 It's all adding up.

00:24:07.180 By the way, Chick-fil-A has now gotten rid of their non-antibiotic chicken or whatever.

00:24:12.960 Their chicken is filled with antibiotics.

00:24:15.500 That is a massive problem for human health.

00:24:20.000 You also have, you know, ingredients like Silly Putty, basically.

00:24:23.320 The same ingredient Silly Putty is in Chick-fil-A chicken.

00:24:25.580 This is not food.

00:24:26.600 This is not food.

00:24:27.440 And I know that we love them because they run a very tight ship.

00:24:30.840 and it's good customer service or whatever,

00:24:32.480 but that does not negate what you are subtracting

00:24:36.420 from your health and your children's health

00:24:37.840 eating there multiple times a week.

00:24:40.040 It is really, it's, by the way, it's cheaper.

00:24:42.740 Home-cooked meals at home.

00:24:45.040 Home-cooked meals at home is cheaper

00:24:46.600 and it's healthier by a landslide.

00:24:49.660 So you've got all of these factors

00:24:51.280 that are contributing to infertility

00:24:53.220 as well as birth control.

00:24:54.560 And let me explain this,

00:24:56.200 because what happens is when I say this,

00:24:58.280 the liberal mainstream media fact checkers

00:25:00.660 come for me and they say, this is not factually true. There's no evidence that birth control

00:25:06.020 causes infertility. Birth control itself doesn't directly cause infertility. It is indirectly

00:25:11.920 causing infertility because when you are on the pill, like I was saying, it acts as a bandaid.

00:25:17.940 So you don't feel symptoms. So a lot of young girls might have in their teen years or early

00:25:23.240 twenties, oh, endometriosis, PCOS symptoms. And so their OBGYN tells them, why don't we just put

00:25:28.820 you on birth control or their general practitioner. This will help the symptoms. You won't hurt as

00:25:33.000 much. Your periods won't be as heavy or they'll be more regular. Here's the thing. A heavy period,

00:25:39.440 a light period, a period that skips severe, painful cramps at the start of your period,

00:25:46.160 massive mood swings in your luteal phase. These are all signs that something isn't right.

00:25:51.980 And so sure, taking hormonal birth control can suppress those symptoms so you have a more

00:25:55.820 pleasant experience. But you're not having a true period on the pill. You're having a withdrawal

00:26:00.300 bleed. Your body is unable to communicate with you to tell you that something is wrong. So it's

00:26:06.480 really a good thing when you are having extremely light or heavy periods, for example, because you

00:26:11.840 can then go to your doctor and say something is wrong hormonally. I want to get to the root cause.

00:26:16.880 Why am I having heavy periods? You know, do I have PCOS or endometriosis or one of these other

00:26:22.000 issues that a lot of women are being diagnosed with you want to fix that as early as possible 0.57

00:26:27.780 you do not want to wait and let that fester and brew and get worse inside of you so that by the

00:26:33.400 time you are you know probably likely wanting to have a family at some point one day you're able to

00:26:39.000 and you won't have to spend you know the next year or two we're dealing with stage four endometriosis

00:26:44.500 and having surgery and all of this it's it's avoidable our body is women our menstrual cycle

00:26:49.800 is so cool. It's like a superpower. It is this tool that tells us, you know, what's going on

00:26:55.180 with this inside that men do not have. And so again, speaking to men and women are different,

00:27:00.020 but you're also not ovulating on the birth control pill. So imagine how that affects how you select

00:27:07.160 a mate or somebody to marry. We know that science shows that women are attracted to more feminine 1.00

00:27:13.120 faces or faces that are more genetically similar to your cousin. When you're on the birth control

00:27:18.460 pill you're not into masculine men i know it's so weird you're not into masculine men on the pill

00:27:24.800 you're into these literal soy boys right you're into feminine looking men um and so i think there's

00:27:31.880 a lot you can kind of use your critical thinking but i think that contributes to a lot of strange

00:27:35.280 things i i i i think that uh that really affects the type of of person that a woman is attracted to

00:27:43.080 and um a lot of women are getting married getting off the pill after they've been on it for so long 0.99

00:27:47.640 and being like, oh my gosh, who am I married to?

00:27:49.500 I'm not attracted to my husband.

00:27:50.940 And then they have to work through that.

00:27:52.360 That's definitely happened to members of my audience as well.

00:27:55.280 So, you know, and then once you're struggling

00:27:58.120 with being able to have a baby,

00:27:59.380 that's when women are sold IVF, 1.00

00:28:01.140 which there's so many things.

00:28:03.360 I could talk to you just about IVF,

00:28:05.380 but I know we don't have that much time.

00:28:07.340 But basically, IVF does not solve infertility.

00:28:13.400 IVF is not the solution to the infertility crisis.

00:28:18.400 IVF is a blessing because you, you know, sometimes, right, you have a child, which is incredible, and that's a gift.

00:28:24.960 And it doesn't matter how a child is conceived, right?

00:28:27.720 If you're pro-life, you believe that child is precious and a gift from God, and you're so, so, so thankful that you have them.

00:28:35.000 So I'm not saying that a baby born via IVF is less than.

00:28:38.820 But what I am saying is that IVF is not helping women find out why they can't get pregnant in the first place.

00:28:45.320 It has a very it does not have a super high success rate.

00:28:50.100 You have a higher miscarriage rate on IVF.

00:28:53.320 Those babies born via IVF definitely are susceptible to more illnesses and being sick more often later in life.

00:29:01.840 And I've interviewed I've done several interviews on this with different doctors.

00:29:06.220 but one thing is there is an alternative when you are struggling with infertility and nobody can

00:29:12.980 figure out why. There is an alternative to IVF called NAPRO technology and those doctors which 0.75

00:29:20.080 a lot of them are Catholic because Catholics primarily you know disagree with big fertility

00:29:25.040 methods like IVF from a moral standpoint and so what NAPRO doctors are doing is they are getting

00:29:31.120 in. They do a mini exploratory surgery. They can find out if you have blocked tubes, which they

00:29:36.900 can unblock. They can find out if your C-section scar from a first pregnancy is causing secondary

00:29:43.040 infertility because it's not healing correctly in there. They can find out if you've got fibroids

00:29:48.700 or if you have endometriosis that is silent with no symptoms. You had no idea was there. These are

00:29:55.680 things that an IVF clinic is not looking for, right? They just want your money and they're not

00:30:00.080 doing any of these tests. And so what ends up happening is NAPRO is actually more successful

00:30:04.660 than IVF. I don't remember the exact rates, but it's significantly higher. I interviewed Dr. Gavin

00:30:09.580 Puthoff. He's based in St. Louis, Missouri. He has an amazing clinic called Veritas Fertility

00:30:14.600 there. Multiple of my friends now have gone to see him who have struggled with infertility.

00:30:18.920 And he is doing some amazing things. And I interviewed him last October, so you can go

00:30:23.160 and listen if you're interested in this and struggling with infertility. But he will go in

00:30:28.280 and he is finding out why these women aren't getting pregnant and it costs so much less than

00:30:33.720 IVF does. And so, you know, what the big fertility industry wants to tell women is one, you should 0.93

00:30:40.060 wait as long as possible to have a family because you will always be able to have a family on your

00:30:44.500 timeline. One, that's a lie from the pits of hell. That is not guaranteed. IVF is not guaranteed to

00:30:49.900 work. And so you've got these women that are delaying having a family thinking that genuinely 0.99

00:30:54.320 they can just get pregnant whenever they want. It's very easy with modern technology without 0.97

00:30:57.900 really knowing the statistics or the costs. And then also, you know, they obviously want you to

00:31:05.160 keep doing multiple rounds. You're spending tens of thousands of dollars. And they're just saying,

00:31:09.760 oh, well, that round just didn't work. Oh, that round just didn't work. Instead of actually

00:31:12.820 finding out why it's not working. So, you know, there is alternatives. And that's why, you know,

00:31:18.300 there's 98 percent of things that President Trump has done in this term have been extraordinary.

00:31:24.680 And I love him so much. But one thing that I disagree with the president on is subsidizing IVF because it's a Band-Aid.

00:31:31.860 It's not figuring out why all these women are struggling with infertility. 0.99

00:31:35.160 And so what I wish we could have done was pour money into helping women with NAPRO doctors instead. 1.00

00:31:40.920 You know, I bet there's so many women who are struggling with with infertility who have never even heard of this.

00:31:48.460 But you're right. The fertility industry, they don't want to say because at the end of the day, that's a business.

00:31:53.340 a profitable one at that. So this is so good to hear. You mentioned some of the misalignments

00:32:01.160 with President Trump and his administration. He just recently signed an executive order,

00:32:07.380 and I know you were speaking to how you really feel like morally obligated to continue pushing

00:32:12.220 forward on this front, but he signed an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act to scale

00:32:17.980 up domestic glyphosate production, citing, you know, national security things, but also providing,

00:32:25.440 I think, cover and liability or limited liability to these companies that are producing this. So

00:32:32.740 can you speak to how this was a betrayal to Maha, to voters like you even? Yeah, I think, you know,

00:32:41.200 this is definitely something that ruffled feathers with Maha moms. And that's really an 1.00

00:32:46.120 understatement they're very angry uh you know bobby kennedy went on joe rogan and said the same he

00:32:51.700 said look i was not upset to put it my or bobby kennedy went on joe rogan and said i was very

00:32:57.140 upset to put it mildly with this executive order you know all of us that are in the maha space we

00:33:02.420 understand how serious the pesticide issue is we are just like with food there's a lot of chemicals

00:33:08.420 that we spray in the united states that are banned in other countries and what's even weirder

00:33:12.540 is that there are a lot of countries making chemicals for us to use in the United States

00:33:17.980 that are banned in their own countries.

00:33:20.500 So that's really biochemical warfare, if you ask me.

00:33:23.180 You're allowing China to manufacture chemicals that they won't even use on the Chinese, 0.98

00:33:27.700 but they're sending it to America, which is making us infertile.

00:33:30.520 It's making us super sick, and it's giving us cancer.

00:33:34.040 So how is this not?

00:33:36.000 This should be a national security issue,

00:33:38.960 Not that we need to ramp up the use of glyphosate or protect the use of glyphosate.

00:33:44.720 You know, the problem is pesticide usage is a top three issue for Maha moms. 1.00

00:33:53.020 This matters a lot to them.

00:33:54.980 And they really want to see us phasing out some of these chemicals like glyphosate.

00:34:00.460 Dicamba is a chemical, for example, that has been banned.

00:34:03.400 And in the last couple of weeks, the EPA just renewed it and brought it back.

00:34:07.180 It was already out. And then the EPA just brought it back. Another chemical that we know causes Parkinson's and cancer. Why are we doing that? Why are we opening the floodgate for more chemicals with a supposed Maha EPA instead of helping phase them out? These are questions that Maha voters have as we head into the midterms. 0.82

00:34:25.860 And so, look, I have been the biggest fan of this administration sharing every single Maha win, which, by the way, 99 percent of what we've done has been phenomenal.

00:34:34.120 We have accomplished so much on the health space that no other presidential administration in history has been able to do.

00:34:39.460 And this has only been one year of it. So there's a lot to be excited about and celebrate.

00:34:44.380 But also part of elections and part of voting in America is that you fight and you work really hard to get certain people elected and then they work for you.

00:34:54.160 Right. And they make promises to you as voters. And, you know, in the summer of 2024, President Trump mentioned that we were going to be looking into pesticide usage.

00:35:00.960 And so a lot of these moms are kind of holding him to that and wondering, you know, does this administration stand with Bayer or does this administration stand with American moms and children who are, you know, these pesticides are just wreaking havoc on our guts and on our fertility.

00:35:19.940 You know, we have chemicals that are allowed in our water supply, like atrazine.

00:35:24.100 Of course, you probably remember the really famous quote from Alex Jones, they're turning 0.85

00:35:27.280 the frogs gay. 0.97

00:35:28.520 OK, he's not wrong. 0.94

00:35:30.480 So atrazine, which is allowed in our drinking water in the United States still for I don't

00:35:34.940 know what reason, is feminizing little boys. 0.99

00:35:39.140 It feminized.

00:35:40.220 They did a study and it feminized the male frogs.

00:35:42.580 It is is causing baby boys to be born with genital deformities, micropenises.

00:35:48.380 It is causing little girls that are being born to have fertility issues that then they're going to have to have for the rest of their life. 1.00

00:35:56.280 It's just it's it's a it's a glaring opportunity, I should say, with our current EPA to really do something historic and go full blown Maha on a lot of these chemicals.

00:36:10.660 You know, we can do all of this stuff to the food and everything.

00:36:13.660 But if our soil is still completely thrashed from these chemicals, you know, how much can we really do?

00:36:20.360 There is a huge Supreme Court case with Monsanto.

00:36:24.500 It's called Monsanto versus Durnell.

00:36:26.320 The Supreme Court is hearing a Monsanto case in April.

00:36:29.140 And so on April 27th, we are hosting the biggest Maha rally yet on the Supreme Court steps at 9 a.m.

00:36:35.920 if you can bring your entire family and make say hey this weekend we're going to make a dc trip

00:36:41.100 and we're going to go out there we're going to protest with alex clark and the food babe and a

00:36:44.600 bunch of other people in the maha space we're going to make this like if you remember the

00:36:47.960 kellogg's protest we did about food dies and we went to kellogg's headquarters in michigan

00:36:51.800 we're going to make this massive even more so and really the point of it is this is a statement

00:36:59.220 to the United States government that families do not stand for protecting chemical companies

00:37:06.660 over people. It's a really historic moment. So if you can, April 27th at 9 a.m., be at the Supreme

00:37:12.040 Court with us. I'm there. I'll be there with you. Bring the baby. She's coming. Margo, back to the 0.69

00:37:18.600 Supreme Court. She's been there once. She's going again. I guess my question for you, Alex, and I

00:37:24.000 know, you know, you're not necessarily behind those closed doors when these meetings are happening.

00:37:29.220 but why? I mean, my mind as someone who has, has, you know, kind of been immersed into this space

00:37:37.840 and the inner workings of politics in general is that money drives a lot of decisions. Is that

00:37:44.100 what this is? You think? Yes. Bayer donated, I believe a million dollars to Trump's inaugural

00:37:50.100 fund. Uh, I I'm, I'm pretty sure on that. There's also multiple chemical, former chemical lobbyists

00:37:57.880 that are currently working in the EPA.

00:38:00.340 You know, we've talked a lot about the revolving door of corruption

00:38:02.820 and having people from industry then working in the FDA or the NIH and the HHS

00:38:07.400 making decisions on our health and how wrong that is

00:38:10.300 because they have ties to these companies that are making us sick, right?

00:38:13.500 People don't like it with food and pharma.

00:38:15.580 Why is nobody speaking up about what's happening currently at the EPA?

00:38:19.700 You know, obviously, I believe there are people there that want what's best for us,

00:38:23.080 but I think there's a lot of people that are making backdoor deals,

00:38:26.320 putting Americans health at risk in doing so. And I want to see that weeded out just like we've done 0.52

00:38:33.280 in all of our other federal agencies so far. So I think that there is a Maha opportunity at the EPA. 1.00

00:38:39.840 And, you know, I have integrity to my audience. Me speaking out about this has cost me invites

00:38:47.940 to things. I have been banned from things. There's been a lot of drama behind the scenes,

00:38:55.380 But I know that if I don't talk about this one, I'm not going to be able to sleep at night and call attention to this.

00:39:01.280 And my audience would call me out.

00:39:02.600 My audience would be the first to say, Alex, what the heck?

00:39:04.880 Why aren't you saying anything about this executive order?

00:39:07.280 Right. Like I have I have to tell the truth.

00:39:09.620 And so sometimes telling the truth is not always what is politically expedient and it's not always comfortable.

00:39:16.700 But that is the number one thing over anything that matters to me.

00:39:20.900 I know that was the number one thing over anything that mattered to Charlie.

00:39:24.620 And so I'm trying my best to kind of juggle both of these things, you know, being in the health space, also being a conservative who loves the president, who loves this administration, but also saying, hey, there's no perfect administration.

00:39:36.480 There's always room to be better. There's always room for opportunity. You know, how can we work together?

00:39:41.080 I've got my my boots on the ground, my my ear to the wall, talking to these women every day. 1.00

00:39:47.500 I know what matters to them. I read personally. I don't have someone else do it.

00:39:51.400 i read all of my dms and answer my dms so i know what is resonating what isn't what makes them

00:39:57.480 upset what makes them happy what is worth celebrating to them um and this issue is like

00:40:02.100 i mean some of them are saying things like i don't know if i i can vote now obviously i disagree with

00:40:08.660 that because like i said the almost everything else has been such a net positive it you would

00:40:13.180 be a fool to not vote red in the midterms so do not let even if even if this is something that

00:40:19.060 never gets fixed, which hopefully it will. Hopefully in our lifetime, we will be the ones 0.98

00:40:22.720 to do it. When we're marching on the Supreme Court steps, we are going to draw attention to

00:40:26.220 this and show that American voters are done protecting companies like Bayer and Big Ag and

00:40:33.040 Big Chemical. But even if it doesn't move the needle, because it hasn't been, you know, we've

00:40:39.300 not been able to do that with any administration. This isn't a Trump issue. This is just an American

00:40:42.980 issue. There's still so much good that has come out of this administration that, you know, for

00:40:49.180 your kids' future, you would be a fool to not vote red. Yeah. And the thing about you and your 0.99

00:40:56.640 platform is that you're principled. Like, I think it's really as simple as that, which being

00:41:02.160 principled is very clearly a foreign concept, not even just to some, but I would say to most

00:41:08.340 people, especially in the whole political sphere. Um, you mentioned Charlie, we've talked about

00:41:15.040 turning point. Uh, can you kind of give us like a vibe check on turning point? Uh, you're at

00:41:21.540 headquarters, you're in Phoenix. Um, how are things feeling? What, what's the mood around the

00:41:26.980 office? Of course, I can't, I mean, you can't open Twitter or X specifically, at least for me

00:41:33.660 and not see constant discourse about Turning Point, about Charlie, about Erica, his beautiful

00:41:40.260 bride, the new CEO, all of these different conspiracies. How are people at headquarters

00:41:45.440 doing, looking into the future? Yeah, I had tweeted this like yesterday or something,

00:41:52.300 but I had said, you know, after Charlie's murder, it became so obvious to me that he was really like

00:41:56.740 one of the only adults in the room when it comes to the conservative movement. It truly,

00:42:00.860 And what's ironic about that is that he's he was the youngest. Right. Charlie was one of the youngest adults in the room. But yet he was the only adult in the room. It's just sad that we're having these podcast wars. It does such a disservice to American voters, you know, going back and forth, calling each other names, conspiracy theories and also, you know, convincing an audience that it's not in their best interest to vote at all. I mean, are you kidding me, Charlie?

00:42:27.300 vote the other way. We've seen a lot of that online. Yeah. You're seeing either don't vote

00:42:31.800 or vote for Democrats. I'm sorry. In what what planet are you on? These people do not have your

00:42:39.060 best interest at heart. They do not have your children's futures at heart. This is so consequential

00:42:44.480 in every way. It's maddening to me. And, you know, I choose I don't listen to those podcasters

00:42:49.620 anymore. It has been in the last six months so heartbreaking. Some of the people that I

00:42:54.960 have admired my entire life in broadcasting people that you know as i was coming up in this world in

00:43:01.860 this space that that was who i admired who i wanted to emulate those are the people that i

00:43:05.900 have unsubscribed i have unfollowed i want nothing to do with i'll never go on their shows again

00:43:10.360 they'll never be invited on my shows um and you know i just have to draw a line in the sand

00:43:15.900 um we have to just decide who we want to be as a conservative movement and that isn't who i want

00:43:22.060 to be. That doesn't make me proud or excited for my kids to grow up and say, oh, my mommy works in 0.97

00:43:29.320 this space. So I want to see that change. And I think the best way to do that is to completely

00:43:35.680 ignore these people so that they die out, like a candle flame just being snuffed out if enough

00:43:41.280 people are not engaging or listening or whatever anymore. So that's what I'm doing. As far as

00:43:45.940 turning point goes you know everyone here is so incredible i i've said this so many times but you

00:43:52.040 know in the days after charlie's death it was like i think we gave you know a day or two and

00:43:57.720 immediately people were messaging their directors and stuff being like can i come into the office

00:44:01.600 like i don't i just i don't know what to do with myself like i can't just like sit at home charlie

00:44:05.400 would hate that he wouldn't want that can we come in can we just be together and um so you know from

00:44:11.700 from the very beginning everybody here just felt like you know this mission what we're doing

00:44:20.000 trying to save the greatest country in the history of the world there are no breaks you can't step

00:44:28.680 away from that for even a second you can't take your eye off the ball for even a second um and

00:44:34.080 you know even like you know we always host this huge event called america fest every december and

00:44:38.660 And it's like a couple of days before Christmas.

00:44:40.900 And so as employees, we always go into America Fest thinking, OK, we're almost done.

00:44:45.460 And then we finally get a break.

00:44:47.360 And Charlie would always be like, all right, you know, great job in America Fest, whatever.

00:44:52.760 We broke these records.

00:44:53.480 We did this great job.

00:44:54.460 We use this many tiles on the stage, you know, video tiles, this many lights like they would

00:44:59.420 go through and be like, we had this many more semi trucks and more pyrotechnics and all

00:45:03.620 like this was always a Charlie thing.

00:45:05.340 And then, you know, he would celebrate all that.

00:45:07.420 And then he would be like, all right, enjoy Christmas, but then it's back to work.

00:45:10.040 No time to waste.

00:45:10.820 We're back to work.

00:45:11.380 As soon as you can start working, start working.

00:45:13.440 It was because that is how Charlie was.

00:45:16.000 And I just think spiritually, he kind of subconsciously must have known somehow, like, I don't have enough time.

00:45:23.100 There's so much I need to accomplish.

00:45:24.460 And that's why he was so disciplined with all the time that he had in a day.

00:45:28.620 I mean, he never, ever was sitting around or doing nothing or like binge watching TV or, you know, nobody can find him because he's just like dilly dallying around.

00:45:38.940 He was so mission focused 100 percent of the time from the moment he woke up to the moment he went to bed.

00:45:44.000 And even, you know, Erica's talked about this being in the car on the way to work.

00:45:48.520 He's making calls to call people and just be like, you know, how are things going?

00:45:51.860 I'm checking in on you like every he was habit stacking all the time, always habit stacking.

00:45:56.360 He would do three or four things at once even. And so, you know, that mentality has just carried through with all of us that work here.

00:46:05.400 And so it's, you know, every day people are here early. They're staying late.

00:46:09.620 We've got a record amount of chapters that are being created.

00:46:12.180 We've got eight states now, I think, that have committed to partnering with Turning Point USA to protect Turning Point high school and college chapters that are being created.

00:46:21.320 that, you know, no school administration is going to be able to prevent a child if they want to

00:46:25.380 start a turning point chapter from starting one. So we're like, we're just going, going, going.

00:46:32.200 And it's truly, it's the hardest time. Obviously, this is the hardest several months that any of us

00:46:40.800 have ever gone through. But being here and having a purpose, I think really helps with that grief.

00:46:46.380 You know, if this was like an insurance agency or something, I don't know that I would feel

00:46:50.220 that motivated to keep coming into work, you know, after my boss was murdered. But when you're

00:46:55.520 working for a nonprofit like Turning Point that has something so special that they're building

00:47:00.540 and saving and preserving, it makes it worthwhile. Like even on the really hard days, it makes it

00:47:07.640 feel like, you know, I want to be here. You know, one of the first times I had ever really spent

00:47:14.080 in person and around charlie this this was several years ago now i remember being absolutely gobsmacked

00:47:21.080 when he was listening to i think a podcast or an audiobook on four times speed four times speed

00:47:27.200 like he was exactly ingesting and and and like this material at four times the speed of a normal

00:47:34.140 human being and i remember thinking to myself in that moment again this was probably two or three

00:47:38.740 years ago like this man is a superhuman um but this past week it was he's not sleeping on a flight

00:47:45.380 he's on a long flight that's when he's reading the bible you know so it's just like there was

00:47:50.640 again no time wasted um and so we feel that urgency that charlie carried with him at all times

00:47:57.000 to to to keep it going and um just take turning points turning point to heights um you know that

00:48:04.240 he always dreamed of doing and and that's that's why erica has been such a phenomenal ceo because

00:48:08.900 you know nobody knew obviously what was in his brain as much as she did and and of course again

00:48:15.200 um she has all these journals um because that's just he was always writing things down even like

00:48:20.320 during his show you know he's writing notes and things he was always doing that and so i think

00:48:23.960 that's just how he organized his thoughts and so you know he had just big ideas like man it'd be

00:48:28.780 cool in the next five years for turning point to do this or whatever like this is what you know he

00:48:33.200 had written down and so it's just like god knew right god knew that erica was basically going to 0.68

00:48:37.340 need a blueprint um of what to do and um you know that charlie would have wanted and so it's just

00:48:43.180 been really cool god's provision in that this past week was my first time back at headquarters

00:48:48.100 since his murder and like i don't know i i think people have kind of handled this in two different

00:48:55.300 ways especially those who knew him personally where for myself anytime charlie video has come

00:49:00.820 up on my timeline, truthfully, I skip right by it. Like I, it's hard to see and to know that he

00:49:07.820 won't be sitting in that same seat doing a prove me wrong ever again. And so I've been of the mind

00:49:12.640 to just skip right by it and kind of just, I don't want to say ignore it, but, but truthfully,

00:49:17.360 maybe that is the word like to just kind of ignore it. And so being at headquarters and seeing the

00:49:21.980 beautiful tributes and the amazing things in the staff, uh, I felt just so frazzled. Um, and it

00:49:28.840 made it all really really real for me who's not there every single day so you guys the team that

00:49:34.620 is there you guys are are just incredible uh last thing for you i want to do a rapid

00:49:39.800 maha yay or nay so you can expand on this as much as you want or as simple as yay or nay

00:49:46.340 starting with energy drinks nay oh my gosh co-sleeping yes um but there's nothing wrong

00:49:54.900 with sleep training either and that's a hot take okay uh circumcision nay carnivore diet yay are

00:50:03.640 there any fad diets out there that are like really beneficial by the way i think keto can be

00:50:10.280 beneficial keto there's there's scientific evidence now that we that just came out in the last few

00:50:14.640 months that keto diet can help uh uh lessen schizophrenia symptoms um keto diet can help

00:50:21.860 reverse pcos and heal from pcos pcos is a diet and lifestyle disease by the way if you have pcos

00:50:28.000 it's what you're eating it's what you're eating and what you're doing that can obviously be fixed

00:50:34.660 so um there's a lot of benefits for that i don't think you need to live like that forever but i

00:50:38.880 think temporarily carnivore or keto can really be helpful for some people okay beef tallow yay

00:50:45.640 peptides yay um newborn vaccines nay okay glp1s nay traditional gender roles yay blocking people

00:50:58.700 online yay i love you know what you're blocked you're blocked you're blocked you say something 0.99

00:51:03.340 stupid like genuinely it's just stupid you could have googled that you're blocked i love curating 0.99

00:51:08.900 my little special space and you know what this is my home i don't have to allow everybody in my 1.00

00:51:14.260 home to have dinner with me if i don't want to um especially if you're a loser if if you're nasty

00:51:19.820 you don't need to be here no public figures need to utilize the block button way more than they 0.95

00:51:24.980 are you know who the only other person that is a prolific blocker like i am is mike cernovich if

00:51:30.480 you know who mike cernovich is on x he's a prolific blocker and i love him for that he's he's the he

00:51:35.960 is the guiding light on blocking no i love this uh me and the block button are like this and i

00:51:42.020 tried to avoid it for a long time like i was of the mind that if i'm blocking someone then i'm

00:51:47.620 censoring their free speech they're allowed to comment on my stuff but i i finally reached this

00:51:52.000 point where it's like i'm not even going to give you the liberty to leave some sort of hateful

00:51:56.700 comment and it blows my mind too the fact that grown adults like a fully grown man or woman is

00:52:03.520 going to go to another person's social media page and leave a hate comment grow up grow up you're 0.51

00:52:10.200 getting blocked so i'm right there with you um last thing for you wellness trend that you love

00:52:16.460 versus one that's overrated okay wellness trend that i love is red light therapy again you can

00:52:25.340 accomplish this with morning sun and evening sun but red light device is so key especially if you

00:52:30.820 have any chronic pain or joint issues you can even get a small device hold that over your knee or or

00:52:35.540 your shoulder or whatever, for example, seriously decreases inflammation in the body and helps

00:52:42.520 with hair growth.

00:52:43.500 If you're struggling with hair growth as a man, even it helps with skin lesions, scar

00:52:49.620 healing.

00:52:50.180 So you got a C-section scar or you just had surgery, hold the red light over that area.

00:52:54.500 It'll really help speed up wound healing.

00:52:57.000 And it also is very anti-aging.

00:52:59.480 I love doing that.

00:53:00.540 I really think that contributes to just having good skin, healthy-looking skin.

00:53:05.980 And it also will really help you have deeper, better sleep at night.

00:53:08.960 I love that.

00:53:09.600 Okay, one that's overrated.

00:53:11.320 Overrated is oat milk.

00:53:12.500 So oat milk is not a health food.

00:53:14.580 Stop drinking oat milk.

00:53:16.500 If you are looking for a dairy-free alternative, oat milk is basically seed oils and sugar.

00:53:21.000 That's it.

00:53:21.900 It's absolutely terrible for you.

00:53:23.460 i would recommend if you need to be dairy free coconut milk almond milk um

00:53:31.040 yeah i would not do oat i don't know what else there is but that's what i would do

00:53:37.180 okay this is good this is good well alex thank you you're always just a joy i love how fiery you
