00:01:40.360 Today you're meeting the young, enthusiastic hosts of our brand new premium show.

00:02:00.960 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:02:10.360 If the massive convoy to Ottawa and the enormous amount of support that it has garnered across

00:02:26.740 the country is any indication of, well, anything, it can be that Canada is on the precipice

00:02:32.040 of a great awakening and definitely not to woke-ism, but rather, I think, away from it.

00:02:38.260 I think we're on the precipice of being done with politicians telling us how to live, who

00:02:42.980 we can have in our homes, how close we can stand from each other, what direction we can

00:02:47.420 go in the grocery store, what medical procedures we need to have before we go out for beers

00:02:53.040 with our friends.

00:02:54.500 But I think we're also done being told how to speak and what we believe.

00:02:59.540 The government overreach that conservatives have been saber-rattling and warning about

00:03:04.000 for about a generation has descended upon all of us in the blink of an eye.

00:03:08.260 Under the guise of a pandemic.

00:03:09.980 And I think society at large is figuring out that too much government just might be a bad

00:03:16.360 thing.

00:03:16.980 I think even young people are figuring this out.

00:03:20.420 And I'm so pleased to say that at Rebel News, we have a brand new show.

00:03:24.840 It's called Misunderstood.

00:03:26.040 It's hosted by Catherine Krasinowski and Nat Biazzi, wherein they tackle pop culture and

00:03:32.120 the news of the day from a young, Christian, conservative, often female viewpoint.

00:03:36.740 And as a mom, I'm kind of excited about it because there's really nothing out there for

00:03:41.700 young conservative women, especially here in Canada.

00:03:45.960 So today we're meeting Kat and Nat, and we're talking about their brand new show, Misunderstood,

00:03:51.160 and why a conservative parent like me might consider a subscription to Rebel News Plus for the

00:03:57.580 youngster in their life.

00:03:58.820 Take a listen.

00:03:59.420 Joining me now from Rebel News World headquarters is Nat Biazzi and Catherine Krasinowski.

00:04:23.440 Girls, thanks so much for joining me.

00:04:25.060 I shouldn't call you girls. 0.90

00:04:25.880 You guys are ladies, definitely ladies. 0.99

00:04:28.380 I wanted to have you on the show because you guys have your own show that's debuting at

00:04:33.780 the network here.

00:04:34.560 And I thought people would like to know a little bit more about you.

00:04:38.800 And I know you as spunky, energetic young ladies, and I know about your work ethic, but 0.98

00:04:46.540 I think that I'd like to learn more about you too, along with our viewers.

00:04:50.240 So I guess I'll start with Nat.

00:04:57.600 You're a conservative.

00:04:59.220 How did that happen?

00:05:00.300 Because young women, you're really not supposed to be conservative, right? 1.00

00:05:05.480 Like you're supposed to be completely brainwashed by pop culture and university, and you're supposed

00:05:12.640 to be very delicate and sensitive and not able to accept other ideas, but also you're not

00:05:19.320 able to communicate your own.

00:05:20.900 That's not the vibe I'm getting from you.

00:05:22.620 So how did you end up this way?

00:05:24.740 Yeah.

00:05:24.980 So I was raised in a Christian conservative household.

00:05:27.680 But of course, I went to university and I kind of fell away from those things a bit.

00:05:31.700 And then I think what really triggered me was when Justin Trudeau had been elected, and I

00:05:36.880 think it was 2015, most of the time when I was talking to people, it seemed like they

00:05:41.580 only really voted for him because he was cute or because he wanted to legalize marijuana.

00:05:45.720 And I was like, I feel like there must be like a more of a reason to want to elect

00:05:49.960 the leader of your nation.

00:05:51.880 And then so that was kind of like one thing that sort of triggered me.

00:05:55.060 And then I think what really did it was when Trump was elected and just hearing how

00:05:58.460 the media kind of slandered this man that people had loved for decades and decades.

00:06:03.480 It just made me start to really question things.

00:06:06.160 And then, of course, I kind of came back to my faith and I started reading my Bible more

00:06:09.680 and that really started to inform my politics a lot.

00:06:12.480 So now I'm here.

00:06:15.200 Now, what do your friends and family say about your sort of return to conservatism?

00:06:22.100 And I guess working at Rebel News, what do they what do they think about that?

00:06:25.400 You know, I'm actually extremely blessed to have supportive people in my life.

00:06:29.640 My dad is stoked.

00:06:30.860 He has been an avid Rebel News follower for quite some time now.

00:06:35.040 So, no, I'm really blessed.

00:06:36.140 A lot of my friends are also very aligned with me.

00:06:38.260 My parents are supportive.

00:06:39.340 They're really proud that I work here and excited.

00:06:42.200 So.

00:06:42.600 Oh, oh, that's great.

00:06:44.780 Catherine, I'm going to ask you the same question.

00:06:47.280 How did you end up this smart, fun, spunky, conservative lady in a world where I am 0.98

00:06:53.600 increasingly disappointed with your generation?

00:06:56.680 I am also incredibly disappointed with my generation.

00:07:01.600 So when I was in high school, I became really good friends with these twins and their mother

00:07:08.380 was involved in the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.

00:07:12.900 So there is this thing called the OPCYA, the Ontario Progressive Conservative Youth Association.

00:07:18.240 So I joined that when I was like 14 and we were kind of, I don't know, we just had so

00:07:24.600 much fun, the three of us.

00:07:26.160 And we were known as like the Durham girls because we were from Durham and people knew

00:07:30.800 us as this like little trio of like young girls who were just like all inspired by all

00:07:35.740 of the the excitement, I guess.

00:07:39.100 And at the time, John Tory was the leader of that party.

00:07:44.360 But we had we just had so much fun.

00:07:46.400 And then again, like Nat, I kind of fell away from conservatism when I went to university,

00:07:50.820 which is pretty normal.

00:07:53.000 But I never fell into leftism.

00:07:55.920 I did have a poster of Che Guevara on my wall, though, and I didn't understand what that

00:08:01.320 meant at the time.

00:08:02.340 I just I my mom is very, very left and my dad is quite right.

00:08:06.000 So I've always been kind of in the middle, but I have since understood what a terrible

00:08:11.540 mistake that poster was.

00:08:13.060 And I apologize.

00:08:14.320 But it was sold at the university campus poster sale, along with all sorts of other nonsense.

00:08:19.380 So I was like, oh, cool.

00:08:20.740 Che Guevara.

00:08:21.260 He's handsome.

00:08:21.900 Stupid.

00:08:23.700 So after university, I kind of just lived working and didn't really pay attention to

00:08:29.280 politics.

00:08:29.660 And again, like Nat, during the 2016 Trump era, I got sucked right back in.

00:08:35.840 And it was my red pill moment was how everyone was calling Trump a misogynist.

00:08:42.740 But at the same and it was all like it was all about feminism. 0.74

00:08:45.320 But then at the same time, we were being told that like radical Islam was culturally appropriate.

00:08:52.780 It was what was it?

00:08:54.020 So what do they call it?

00:08:54.900 Cultural relativism and how we shouldn't judge the cultures in other countries because that's

00:09:00.840 how they do things.

00:09:01.700 And it's like, OK, throwing acid in a young girl's face, that's not cultural relativism.

00:09:07.000 That's abhorrent.

00:09:08.140 And so you're calling this man a misogynist and a sexist and all these horrible things.

00:09:12.400 But at the same time, we're trying to blanket what's going on with radical Islam.

00:09:15.700 So I had a hard time marrying those things.

00:09:18.060 So that was my red pill moment, I guess.

00:09:21.000 And my I mean, the next question, I think, is how do my friends and family feel about it?

00:09:26.800 Yeah.

00:09:27.260 Yeah.

00:09:28.340 So like I said, my dad is super on the right.

00:09:30.920 He's super proud of me.

00:09:32.640 My sister and brother on the same side.

00:09:34.540 But my mom's side of the family is like very, very lefty. 0.99

00:09:37.320 So they're like they love me still.

00:09:41.760 Thank God for that.

00:09:42.800 Of course.

00:09:43.220 But they're not super, super excited about this job and everything that it entails.

00:09:47.820 But I've always found myself in the middle because my parents are divorced.

00:09:50.820 So I've always been in the middle of two very conflicting, strong personalities.

00:09:55.040 And I've always had to navigate my way in between.

00:09:57.000 So I do consider myself a centrist, as I think most people do.

00:10:01.840 But the center is so far left that it's pushed me to the right.

00:10:06.700 So that's my story.

00:10:09.520 Well, maybe you can serve as a bit of an ambassador of conservatism.

00:10:13.360 To the other side, you can show them that we're normal.

00:10:15.720 We're not crazy.

00:10:16.560 We aren't those things that the CBC wants the world to believe about conservative women. 1.00

00:10:22.920 I'll go back to Nat with this question.

00:10:25.700 What do you think is the major issue facing young women today?

00:10:33.720 That's a great question.

00:10:36.100 I think it's difficult because the media is such a monster in Canada.

00:10:40.660 And I think women tend to kind of, they're more easily influenced when there's an emotional narrative.

00:10:46.580 And I think that our legacy media does such a good job.

00:10:49.160 We're agreeable.

00:10:50.400 Exactly.

00:10:52.320 And you pull at our heartstrings, right?

00:10:54.120 And it kind of gets us going down that sort of left wing rabbit hole.

00:10:58.140 I think it's just a lot easier.

00:10:59.120 So I think that's definitely a big thing that we're facing.

00:11:01.940 I think also social media has really, really had a detrimental impact on women, especially young women.

00:11:08.920 You know, kids are getting cell phones so much younger nowadays.

00:11:11.400 And when you're scrolling through Instagram and you're seeing these Hollywood women who are claiming to be makeup free and natural, I think those sort of lies that are being spewed at us all day long, I think they're really impacting our confidence and our ability to really own who we are and speak out about things we want to speak out about.

00:11:29.680 Yeah, so I definitely think the media, social media, those things, I think they're really stunting our growth in society in a way.

00:11:38.260 Yeah, that's a great point.

00:11:39.200 I look back at what we used to call peer pressure when I was a kid before social media and the Internet.

00:11:44.260 I think I was like in my teens when the Internet was sort of becoming a thing.

00:11:47.560 And I just realized how old I am when I said that.

00:11:49.840 But yeah, now it's amplified and it's 24-7 and it's in your hand all the time, that constant judgment and that pressure to conform.

00:11:59.420 So that's why I find YouTube very interesting because in a world where you literally open up Instagram and everybody looks the same.

00:12:07.160 And if you don't look the same, that's fine.

00:12:08.540 You just go to the place where they make you look the same as everybody else for a couple hundred dollars.

00:12:12.640 And you have to dress the same and have the, you know, the same style and the same opinions on things.

00:12:19.120 And you two are sort of resistors.

00:12:22.460 And so I find you very interesting in a world where all the fish are swimming with the current.

00:12:26.020 You guys are going the other direction.

00:12:28.520 Kat, same question for you.

00:12:30.120 What do you think is the major issue facing young women in society today?

00:12:34.820 And I want a good answer because you had a little longer to think about it.

00:12:37.860 Yeah, you're right.

00:12:39.560 And, well, I think it's the destruction of family and the idea that women don't need to be mother. 1.00

00:12:47.500 And obviously not, motherhood is not for everyone.

00:12:50.120 And just like anything is not for everyone, right?

00:12:53.480 But I think that there's this narrative being pushed on us that's like, no, no, you should focus on your career.

00:12:59.500 Family should always be the last thing on your mind because you don't want to just be a housewife. 1.00

00:13:03.560 But people forget that like raising children is probably one.

00:13:07.600 And I mean, and this is my opinion, but it's probably one of the most important things a woman can do if she chooses to do that. 0.99

00:13:14.040 So I think that pushing back on that narrative and like making being a mom cool, like I know the whole I'm going to be a cool mom.

00:13:22.000 It's like probably when you're a mom, there are some things that you're going to have to do that aren't cool.

00:13:26.580 But that's being cool should not be our goal in life.

00:13:29.600 And I think we should make if we want to be cool, fine.

00:13:32.700 But like families are cool, like loving your kids is cool.

00:13:36.400 And I'm not a mother yet, but that is my ultimate goal.

00:13:40.820 And ideally, I can still have a career and I'd like to work here and do what I can.

00:13:45.360 But I want a family.

00:13:46.520 And I think that we're being told that that's not something that we should strive for.

00:13:49.800 And it's almost like you're selling yourself short if you want to be a mom.

00:13:53.480 And it's like, what?

00:13:54.480 Bringing a life into the world and nurturing it into an amazing human being that's selling yourself short.

00:14:00.020 So I think that's our biggest our biggest challenge.

00:14:03.760 You know, I would I would agree with you.

00:14:05.180 Even when I was younger, that was one of the big pressures was that you can you can do it all and you can have it all.

00:14:13.220 That's what we're constantly told.

00:14:15.080 But at the same time, you're sort of half assing everything because you're trying to do everything.

00:14:21.620 You're trying to raise kids and go to work and look a certain way and you fall down on the job on all of it.

00:14:27.800 And I think that's why there's so many unhappy women like the wine mom culture, the rise of wine mom culture is literally women drowning their feelings of inadequacy because they've been told you can definitely do it all. 1.00

00:14:41.320 Look at this TV lady. 1.00

00:14:42.640 She's doing it all.

00:14:43.360 But in the meantime, she's farming out her house and her kids to somebody else so that she can maintain this idea of what it means to be a modern woman. 1.00

00:14:52.260 And girls, ladies, why the show? 0.98

00:14:58.080 Why misunderstood?

00:15:00.620 I'll ask Catherine that question, but I'll also ask Nat that question, too.

00:15:04.260 So why did you want to do this show?

00:15:05.900 Because you pitched the show to me and I thought, well, that's actually a really great idea, because I think the other side of the world needs to know that there are normal young people out there.

00:15:14.560 But why did you want to do this show?

00:15:16.420 Um, I think that we want to we talked about this in our episode that we filmed last night, but we want to bring conservative conservatism and culture together and we want to make it cool to be, you know, open to God and family and conservative values.

00:15:37.240 And that is not cool in the eyes of pop culture right now.

00:15:40.920 So we're trying to say on top of bringing God and family together, like we also we still care about fashion.

00:15:47.180 We still care about pop culture.

00:15:48.560 I watch movies.

00:15:49.880 I'm not obsessed with celebrities, but we read the news.

00:15:52.740 We see them on Twitter like we have opinions on things that we see.

00:15:55.800 So we want to say like those things those things don't need to be completely independent of each other.

00:16:00.360 You can still talk about pop culture and music and fashion and conservative values and God and family all in the same place.

00:16:07.080 And we don't need to be like, oh, you're right wing.

00:16:09.160 You only care about, you know, wearing your buttons all the way up here and going to church and you don't care about.

00:16:14.660 I mean, we do.

00:16:16.040 We both.

00:16:17.000 You look great, Matt.

00:16:18.380 You look great.

00:16:19.700 But like, I mean, you can do both.

00:16:21.760 You can be cool and you can be conservative.

00:16:23.360 And I think that's what we wanted to do with the show.

00:16:25.720 So, yeah, and just to add to that, if I if I may, I think like when you first become conservative, especially in Canada, this is such a secular and progressive nation.

00:16:34.800 You're kind of in the closet a bit, I find, especially in Toronto.

00:16:38.120 Toronto is just a hellhole of progressivism.

00:16:41.760 So I think just to be able to be a safe space for women to be able to come out of the closet and say, hey, there are like minded women who are speaking out about this because, I mean, Canada has you, Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:16:52.560 But there aren't many women speaking out about these things, speaking, talking about conservatism and family values and Christianity.

00:16:58.680 And I think we need more young voices as well.

00:17:02.600 Yeah.

00:17:03.000 Female voices.

00:17:03.780 And we want to bring in people who might be on the edge, who are seeing culture kind of do what's the what's the word I'm looking for?

00:17:11.680 Deconstruct.

00:17:12.500 Yeah.

00:17:12.800 Or I can't think of the word right now.

00:17:15.860 Yeah.

00:17:16.320 No, but I think like degrade, degrade into something that they're not represented by.

00:17:21.000 A lot of people consider themselves liberal or, as you say, centrist.

00:17:25.440 But then they're like, but I'm not with those crazy people.

00:17:28.380 You're seeing it all the time.

00:17:29.540 Exactly.

00:17:30.320 You're seeing it all the time with the Democrats where you have reasonable Democrats like Joe Manchin siding with the Republicans because they don't like things are going crazy over there and they don't want to be a part of it.

00:17:41.920 And I think young people, a lot of young people are experiencing that, too.

00:17:45.960 So we want to welcome those people who are saying, hmm, like liberal values have gone a little bit too far left for us.

00:17:51.780 Like we are, you know, without a home.

00:17:54.000 And it's like, no, you can come to us.

00:17:55.520 We're always going to welcome anyone who's you don't have to be hardcore conservative.

00:17:58.760 But if you're like, I want to see a little bit more positivity and actual feminism, like I never in the past have considered myself a feminist until now, because I'm like women need a safe space to actually be women.

00:18:11.700 And we talk a lot about this in the show, too, like prisons that are sending intact males who have sexual deviant pasts into women's prisons where they are assaulting women.

00:18:23.240 And it's like, do I have to say that this is wrong?

00:18:27.040 Like no one can see that this is wrong.

00:18:29.020 Like women deserve safe spaces. 1.00

00:18:30.440 And I know like five years ago, what I just said would sound super lefty.

00:18:34.680 Women need safe spaces. 1.00

00:18:35.680 And today that's a conservative value.

00:18:38.080 This is how fast the narrative is shifting.

00:18:40.120 You know, that's a really great point.

00:18:43.300 It's no secret.

00:18:44.300 My daughter plays high level rugby.

00:18:46.180 And this is something that's going to creep up in on us.

00:18:49.200 And it could she could be robbed of a position on the national team.

00:18:54.040 Her career could be ended because of an injury, because what used to be, as you say, a modern leftist feminist idea of women's only spaces. 1.00

00:19:05.140 Now that's a conservative thing.

00:19:06.680 And we're like, no, no, we do think that there are a difference between the sexes and women should have their space to do their things. 0.99

00:19:15.100 I'll ask Nat this question.

00:19:17.080 Do you think on some of these cultural issues that these that they're the breaking point for some young liberal women? 1.00

00:19:25.300 I think so.

00:19:26.760 I think especially because in the last few years, like Tumblr feminism kind of has exploded. 1.00

00:19:31.400 You know, there's all these like movements for women. 1.00

00:19:33.720 And I think now that people are trying like now that this narrative is being exposed about how men are coming in and encroaching on women's spaces.

00:19:41.440 I think I think that really is a breaking point because we're kind of being erased, if you think about it.

00:19:46.740 I mean, you mentioned your daughter is an athlete.

00:19:48.740 If a man comes in and identifies as a woman, he's going to steal maybe a scholarship away from her or something. 0.90

00:19:54.400 And that's despicable.

00:19:55.880 Like, I cannot even believe that this is like something we have to even debate about with people, because it's very clear that there's some men are taking advantage of of this gender ideology, you know?

00:20:08.400 You mentioned Tumblr and I wandered into Tumblr one time just to have a poke around.

00:20:13.340 And I'm like, there's a lot of witches and stuff in there and furries and things that I would like never come across in my normal life.

00:20:20.480 Because you're in Toronto and I'm in Alberta and I'm in rural Alberta, so I have a different experience.

00:20:26.120 I'm the normal like the liberals are in the closet out here, not the other way around.

00:20:33.360 But, you know, you both talk about how you want to marry God in the culture.

00:20:39.740 So I guess my question is, and either one of you can answer, how do you address those criticisms from the modern leftist feminist who say,

00:20:49.440 well, you guys are Christian and you're conservative, that's not exactly lady friendly.

00:20:55.240 That's not a space for women where you're held up as equals. 1.00

00:21:00.680 How do you address those criticisms?

00:21:04.040 Hmm.

00:21:04.900 I would say I've recently started going back to church and I notice that a lot of what you hear about the church is like,

00:21:14.040 oh, it's very male centric and patriarchal.

00:21:16.440 But then when you're actually in the church, I don't feel that in any way.

00:21:20.080 I see happy families.

00:21:21.640 I see couples.

00:21:22.240 And I see the pastor who speaks about the bond between man and wife and how they become one and they're a unit.

00:21:31.980 And a couple of weeks ago, the pastor said the woman, her body stops being her body and it starts being owned by the husband.

00:21:41.420 And then it's like, oh, and he's like, but wait, the husband's body becomes owned by the wife and it's the two becoming one.

00:21:48.220 It's people like to hear one part, but not the other.

00:21:51.080 It's like I feel completely represented by the church.

00:21:56.020 I don't feel I am a very like outspoken, strong person.

00:22:00.720 So I wouldn't be part of anything that said, hey, Catherine, you're down here.

00:22:04.400 The man is up here.

00:22:05.340 You better listen to him.

00:22:06.140 I would never be a part of that.

00:22:07.300 I just it doesn't goes against my personality.

00:22:08.840 Like, what do you think that I think a lot of the people who criticize biblical values and those kinds of things have never actually read the Bible and don't actually even know what they're talking about.

00:22:18.620 They're just repeating what they hear in the media.

00:22:21.360 So I think I think definitely one thing that is the key to kind of maybe getting those people to understand where you're coming from is to ask them those questions and have them explain themselves.

00:22:30.760 And odds are they probably can't.

00:22:32.560 And maybe that'll maybe that'll get them thinking, you know, maybe stir up some some thoughts and be like, hey, maybe I am a little off here.

00:22:39.280 I definitely think that's that's one way to approach it.

00:22:42.680 And I also think just from reading the Bible, there are a lot of really strong and empowered women in the Bible.

00:22:48.560 I mean, Esther comes to mind.

00:22:50.340 There are many others.

00:22:51.180 So I think, like like I said, there's just this lack of understanding and just being able to explain that to people will hopefully kind of shift them over.

00:22:59.720 But yeah.

00:23:02.960 Yeah, it's funny because people will say the same thing to me like, oh, you're Catholic.

00:23:07.460 You hate women. 0.78

00:23:08.120 I'm like, I'm not sure if you heard about how we feel about Mary.

00:23:11.320 Yeah, this little lady called Mary. 1.00

00:23:15.260 Yeah.

00:23:15.520 You know how we think God's greatest creation was this little Jewish teenage girl who was really poor and that, you know, creation. 0.99

00:23:25.340 God rested only after he created woman like that was the bookend on his creation of the earth was us. 0.64

00:23:32.400 Yeah.

00:23:33.080 It was not done till we were done.

00:23:34.960 Yeah.

00:23:35.140 Like God made Adam and he's like, hmm, this isn't right.

00:23:39.280 Adam is not enough.

00:23:40.280 He needs a lady's touch. 0.99

00:23:41.440 He needs an Eve.

00:23:42.620 Yeah.

00:23:46.160 I guess one last question, girls, before I let you go, because this is a work day for you guys.

00:23:51.260 You've taken you guys do other stuff at the company outside of hosting your own show.

00:23:56.740 So why should people like me watch?

00:24:00.280 So I have a, oh, gross.

00:24:02.700 I'm going to sound old again.

00:24:03.920 So I have a son who's probably even older than you and a daughter who's a little bit younger than you.

00:24:09.840 So why should somebody like me, who's a mom of people your age?

00:24:15.400 Oh, gross.

00:24:16.260 I just, it makes me cringe when I say it.

00:24:20.240 Why should we watch your show?

00:24:21.780 I think culture really does matter to everyone.

00:24:25.460 I think it influences everyone.

00:24:27.660 Everyone's paying attention to Hollywood and music, whether they admit to it or not.

00:24:30.880 And I think we want to be engaged in what our kids are looking at.

00:24:34.520 Like, why do they feel this way?

00:24:35.800 What are they watching?

00:24:36.680 And I think having that understanding will help us relate to each other better, I think.

00:24:40.800 Like, it's a nice, it's a nice way to connect, I think, on also maybe a lighter level.

00:24:45.500 Because it's, we're pretty satirical.

00:24:47.740 We like to have fun.

00:24:48.940 We like to, we don't, we make light of things that are horrible.

00:24:52.160 So I think, you know, I like that.

00:24:55.320 Yeah.

00:24:56.280 Exactly what you said.

00:24:57.440 It's like, you can see what the kids are doing and what they're talking about.

00:25:01.320 And I think maybe we can, like, when I watch TikTok, Sheila, I feel like I'm a mom.

00:25:07.520 I'm like, I'm like, what am I watching?

00:25:09.780 I don't get it.

00:25:10.000 What am I?

00:25:10.400 So scary.

00:25:11.160 So I think I might be a little older than you think I am.

00:25:16.520 Like, I'm in my 30s.

00:25:18.120 And so I'm not a spring chicken.

00:25:20.340 But I want to bring culture to everybody.

00:25:25.880 And like Nat said, like, as a mom, you can see exactly what your kids are watching on TikTok.

00:25:30.340 Because we're going to show you and we're going to talk about it.

00:25:32.260 And I think if we, if you know what they're watching, we can all have a much more informed understanding of, like,

00:25:39.340 the direction that culture is going.

00:25:41.200 And you can maybe have more in common with your daughter.

00:25:44.400 I don't know.

00:25:44.860 Like, maybe that's something that maybe not you, because I feel like you're probably incredibly tight.

00:25:50.340 And like, we're good.

00:25:50.840 Exactly.

00:25:52.000 But not everyone is like that.

00:25:54.360 Not everyone dedicates that time to, like, listening to what their daughter is watching and seeing and feeling.

00:25:59.600 So maybe that's where we can help.

00:26:01.180 Especially because, too, just to add to that, celebrities have kind of begun to really engage in politics.

00:26:06.480 Like, you see Taylor Swift telling you who to vote for.

00:26:09.000 Beyonce is wearing a Beto O'Rourke hat.

00:26:11.580 You know, and kids are looking up to these people.

00:26:14.720 So to be able to step in and say, hey, these ideas may not actually be the best.

00:26:19.940 I think it's a fruitful way to kind of, yeah, get that conversation going and maybe try to steer your kids in a more productive direction.

00:26:28.520 Yeah, I think it's difficult as conservatives to engage in the culture wars if you don't know what the battles are and if you aren't even on the battlefield.

00:26:38.640 So you don't even know where the battles are being fought and won.

00:26:42.280 And you're like, why is the culture changing?

00:26:44.020 And it's like, well, that culture war that you're mad about now, that was fought and lost by our side five years ago because you didn't show up.

00:26:52.780 One last thing before I let you go to your other jobs at the company.

00:26:57.340 How do people find your show?

00:27:38.220 Ladies, the best of luck. 1.00

00:27:39.480 I'm being so condescending.

00:27:40.780 I wish you ladies the best of luck.

00:27:42.280 I'm not insulted.

00:27:43.180 We're so young.

00:27:43.660 No, I know.

00:27:44.540 I know.

00:27:44.820 When people call me a girl, I'm like, perfect.

00:27:47.380 You're best friends now.

00:27:48.340 So I wish you ladies the best of luck.

00:27:51.980 You both work so very hard at the company and you bring a new perspective to the things that we talk about here.

00:28:05.240 So thanks again, ladies. 1.00

00:28:06.360 And like I said, best of luck.

00:28:07.900 Thank you so much.

00:28:09.040 Thank you so much.

00:28:39.040 All these things, they're not mutually exclusive of each other.

00:28:42.520 And as conservatives, we shouldn't let the left tell us how our young people are going to be and what they should believe and how they should interact and engage in the world.

00:28:53.100 Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight.

00:28:54.880 Thanks so much for tuning in.

00:28:56.680 I'm so happy I took this opportunity to get to know members of my own team a little bit better with you.

00:29:02.420 I wish Kat and Nat the best of luck on their brand new show.

00:29:05.580 And I'll see everybody back here in the same time, in the same place next week.

00:29:09.180 And remember, as always, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
