The majority of Catholics support using birth control. The majority of Catholics support
00:00:04.600
abortion being legal. Zionism has actually been feeding anti-Muslim sentiment in American
00:00:11.500
politics in general, but especially amongst the conservative right. That Pearl likes to talk
00:00:16.140
about the divorce rate a lot. And one of the issues I have with Pearl is that I feel like
00:00:19.720
she'll see a statistic and then she'll base her opinions on it, talk about it a lot without
00:00:24.760
actually understanding it. And she can't escape that she's coming from the perspective of Red
00:00:29.080
Pearl, not the perspective of Catholicism, of Christianity, of God.
00:00:32.740
Nice to meet you.
00:00:34.340
Nice to meet you too. I'm sorry. I never do calls on Discord. My apologies. I'm kind of a boomer.
00:00:39.120
How old are you? Because I was looking at your YouTube really. I don't know if I should ask
00:00:42.080
this, but you've been making videos for a while. I'm 29. So I'm at the age now where I look at people
00:00:48.480
who are on Twitch and I'm like, that's like a whole new thing. I'm too old to start new platforms. I
00:00:53.260
could never. Twitch has been around for a while. There's a lot of people that are much older than
00:00:56.520
you on Twitch. Yeah. But I feel like it's only really gotten big for political people in the
00:01:00.940
past, I don't know, like three years. It didn't like when I started out making videos, it was
00:01:05.300
YouTube all the way. That's basically it. Twitch was only games or maybe some e-girls were starting
00:01:09.900
to, I don't even know what they do. I don't think it's games though, but it wasn't the big thing that
00:01:14.500
it is now with people like Destiny on it. He got banned on there because he said something
00:01:19.040
based for once. I think he said that transgender is real. Oh wait, you're right. Yeah. He got banned for
00:01:23.020
saying that the trannies aren't real, but I don't know how long you would last because Twitch is
00:01:26.840
only left-wing politics. So, you know, you're not supposed to have the, you can't say something
00:01:30.660
like you don't think that democracy is allowed on Twitch. You're going to get packed up.
00:01:34.700
Yeah. I saw Lauren Southern tried and I think she didn't last very long on there either.
00:01:39.900
Well, Rumble would welcome you if you come over here. I'm streaming on Rumble. I don't know if you,
00:01:43.500
if you know that, but I recommend for what you've been saying. And it seems like you're,
00:01:47.600
you're going down the, you're, you're more open with free speech and you're really testing the
00:01:53.120
limits. So I highly recommend that you come to Rumble before they delete you on YouTube.
00:01:57.500
Yeah, I actually, I do have a Rumble channel. We haven't uploaded it in, uploaded there in a while
00:02:02.520
though, because there used to be a mirroring function, but I don't think it works with YouTube
00:02:06.840
anymore. And so it was just kind of my producer, I got a new one and he was like, what platforms do we
00:02:12.420
do? And so I was like, I don't know if Rumble's worth it, but you're right. I should,
00:02:14.880
I should make more of an effort because yeah, YouTube is, I mean, it's YouTube,
00:02:19.640
unfortunately you're not on YouTube, right? I've been nose band two years ago,
00:02:22.720
but you probably shadow been on there. Like all conservatives, if you, uh,
00:02:27.140
Oh yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah. All conservatives are going to get it. Yeah. It's just not worth it.
00:02:30.720
Especially Rumble's grown so much, but how was it? Uh, you did a show recently. You were in LA doing,
00:02:35.320
um, uh, some normie YouTube show. Which one? Okay. So apparently I wasn't actually supposed to tell
00:02:41.240
anybody about that. So they, I didn't, I was not aware of that, but when we were there,
00:02:47.100
they're like, by the way, guys, don't say anything until it actually airs. And I was like, Oh, okay.
00:02:53.740
I will not do that then. But yeah, I, I don't think it's going to come out for another month or
00:02:57.800
maybe even two. So it's, it's, it's, it's like you said though, it's a normie YouTube debate show.
00:03:03.320
And I think it's going to be really fun once it airs, but I apparently, I don't think I could talk
00:03:07.700
about it. Okay. Well, you didn't sign an NDA. I could ask more about it. Like that's props to
00:03:11.700
you for respecting that, but you've been traveling a lot. Can I, where are you, where do you, um,
00:03:16.160
where are you from? So I'm actually, I was born in Canada, but I grew up in Asia, which is where my
00:03:21.500
dad is from. So I grew up mostly in Hong Kong, but also lived in Shanghai and Singapore. Um, I,
00:03:27.320
I spent a few years when I was a tween in Canada, and then I came to the U S for college. And, uh,
00:03:34.340
I've been living in Nashville specifically for about two years now.
00:03:38.260
Yeah. A lot of conservatives are there. I know, uh, Brett Cooper from Israeli wire. I think she
00:03:42.100
lives over there. A lot of Christians, but your English is good. I know you probably get that all
00:03:45.940
the time. I'm not saying that because you're Asian, cause I'm half Asian, but I'm saying that
00:03:48.740
because you said you grew up in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Did you always speak English? I know Hong
00:03:52.280
Kong is mostly English. Yeah. Yeah. So when I, when I was in Hong Kong and this dates me, it was very,
00:03:57.880
very British. So I went to a British school there. A lot of things were in English. Um, it was very,
00:04:03.060
very common to have people speak English. I think even the local schools back then they taught
00:04:06.740
English as a second language. Now, if you go, it's a different story though. They teach Mandarin
00:04:10.960
in schools instead of English as a second language. Cause, uh, Hong Kong people speak Cantonese
00:04:14.920
and it's, uh, like fewer and fewer people there speak English. But when I was there, it was,
00:04:19.700
it was almost like a different world. Okay. Some people are wondering if you're a CCP agent,
00:04:23.640
but I don't think you would be because you you're against democracy. So when did you start to get
00:04:28.080
into politics? Like why would, uh, are you, you're half Chinese, half white? I'm guessing.
00:04:32.600
Yeah. Yeah. That's right. And, uh, I'm one of the few people who's my dad is actually the Chinese
00:04:36.860
one, not my mom. Yeah. It's, it's reverse. And my mom's the Asian one of the two. Yeah. That's,
00:04:41.400
that doesn't, yeah. How did that happen? Military? No, actually. So my parents, they met at McGill,
00:04:46.340
which is a Canadian university in Montreal and yeah, they got married and then they ended up moving
00:04:51.420
back to Asia when I was really little. Yeah. That's the, that's the most popular university
00:04:55.860
in Canada. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Yeah. And my, my mom is kind of one of those white people who's
00:05:01.200
really interested in Asian culture. Oh, cause she's like a weeb. She was studying Chinese. Yeah,
00:05:06.340
exactly. She was like a weeb before weebs were things. She was studying Chinese, really interested
00:05:10.240
in the culture. She really wanted to live over there. Uh, so she, she describes herself as an egg,
00:05:16.420
like white on the outside, yellow on the inside. She's, she's one, like one of those white people.
00:05:22.540
Yeah. Right. Right. Do you accept her? And I, a lot of those, you know, Asians like to make fun of
00:05:26.280
those people, but a lot of them know more about Asian culture than Asian Americans do.
00:05:31.340
Oh yeah. My mom is like 100% into it. She, I mean, my parents had a full on Chinese Asian wedding.
00:05:38.380
She wore the traditional gear. She was very committed to it. Like she lived in mainland China
00:05:42.740
over, I mean, about 30 years ago, this was when mainland China was not like it is now where they
00:05:47.720
have like all internet everywhere. I mean, Shanghai is a modern city. She was there when it was like
00:05:52.760
bicycles through white rice fields, people eating rats. So she was, she was a hundred percent
00:05:57.380
committed. Um, and she, she still loves Asia. People were eating rats. Oh yeah. They do that in
00:06:03.200
rural China still less in the big cities now, but a hundred percent they do that in China.
00:06:08.100
Was that the malware? I never heard about that. I thought that would be like a Hindu Indian thing.
00:06:12.740
No, I think Chinese culture, there's a saying that basically if, if an animal's
00:06:17.300
back, uh, faces the sun, you're pretty much good to eat it. So they'll, I mean, they'll eat almost
00:06:23.560
any animal. That's why, unfortunately that includes things like dogs in some regions as well. Again,
00:06:27.900
not in the big cities that won't do stuff like that, but in, in rural places that, yeah, they'll eat,
00:06:32.140
they'll eat rats, they'll eat dogs, they'll eat anything. I thought that was just like a
00:06:36.180
racist joke online. That's real.
00:06:38.620
Unfortunately, that's real. I wish it was just a racist joke, but there's the Yulin festival where
00:06:45.320
every year they do eat dogs. A lot of people within China are even against it, especially in
00:06:49.800
the big cities where they're modernized. They have dogs as pets, but it's actually, it's really,
00:06:54.100
really terrible.
00:06:55.460
Oh, okay. Yeah. I will. I'm going to blame the Chinese on that. I'm half Filipino. So hopefully
00:06:59.980
we're good, but I got to do my research. But I don't think we eat dogs over in the Philippines. I hope
00:07:04.460
not, but I was going to ask. I know. I, I, I wish it wasn't a thing. And anytime someone calls me a
00:07:10.060
dog eater, which happens, I'm like, you're not wrong. I mean, not personally, but that's, that's a
00:07:15.280
fair knock against, against the Chinese culture. I did not know that. I really thought that that was
00:07:20.480
just a joke, but how do you go from being a Waysian girl, right? With the Twinkie mom. Is that
00:07:26.080
the right? No, it's reverse Twinkie. How do you go from that to American politics?
00:07:32.200
So I went to American schools after I left Hong Kong. So Hong Kong, I went to British school
00:07:38.480
when I was in Shanghai and Singapore, American schools. But so I, I, I guess when I was learning
00:07:46.180
civics, learning history, it was from an American perspective. My teachers were American. My
00:07:50.600
classmates were Americans. And then I guess I was just kind of naturally interested in politics.
00:07:54.860
And then I wish I had this amazing walkaway story where I could say, I used to be this
00:07:59.900
blue haired leftist, but then I left or left because conservatives love that. They eat that
00:08:04.460
up. They eat that up. It would be so much more popular, but unfortunately that's never been
00:08:08.600
the case. I've never been liberal. Make up a fake OnlyFans and then renounce it. And then
00:08:15.860
you're going to get on Israeli wire. It's, it's a great path to success. That's the perfect
00:08:19.380
Griff right now for a woman in politics. I highly recommend. Former OnlyFans. Yeah, it's true. I
00:08:24.540
mean, it is, it's kind of frustrating because not only I understand giving those people attention,
00:08:29.100
like, Hey, this is really cool how you, your mind changed. Let's talk about it so we can
00:08:33.300
replicate that and have more people's minds changed. But the problem with the conservative
00:08:37.140
movement is that they'll put those people in positions of leadership. So you'll literally
00:08:41.180
have someone who was a Democrat, maybe three years ago, weighing in on actual policies of what
00:08:47.020
the right should or should not do. It's like, I don't know if that's a good idea. You guys,
00:08:50.940
I don't know if we should do that. That's why now that the mainstream conservative movement,
00:08:54.660
most people who are vocal are basically just center leftists or liberals are not actually
00:09:00.780
conservative. So where would you place yourself? I'm sure you've taken the political compass test.
00:09:05.180
Where were, where does that dot on the graph go for you? So I don't, I don't know. Okay. So like
00:09:11.380
right there, um, definitely right wing where I'm at libertarian or authoritarian, uh, depends on the
00:09:19.160
questions that they ask me. Right. That's not the perfect test. I don't think that's the perfect
00:09:23.260
marker. No, no, it's hard because I mean, in some ways I hate the government, which is very,
00:09:29.060
very libertarian and other ways I'm like, well, I don't, I don't know if you should be able to
00:09:32.980
diddle kids. And I know the libertarians are very pro that I also not pro drugs. So I guess it kind of
00:09:38.480
depends on the questions of the specific tests. It's, it's hard to nail me down, I guess.
00:09:42.720
But I guess if you're anti-democracy, then you would probably be okay with, um, some sort of
00:09:49.320
authoritarian regime if it could exist properly. Like I'm guessing that you, you will, you think
00:09:54.160
that Putin's doing a good job. Well, here's the thing. I don't think democracy is not synonymous
00:09:59.340
with liberty. I think the idea that if you have democracy, you're going to have liberty. That's a
00:10:03.160
total lie. I mean, I used to live in Canada. I lived in Canada through COVID. I, we had curfew.
00:10:08.500
I couldn't participate in public life for six months. I couldn't go to a restaurant.
00:10:13.500
I couldn't like sit in a shopping mall for an extended amount of time because I didn't have
00:10:16.880
vax papers. This all happened under democracy. So I'm sorry, but people can't say, oh, democracy
00:10:21.780
means liberty because it objectively does not. And it was the same thing in Australia. That's a
00:10:26.140
democracy. They had quarantine camps where you had to go or otherwise you'd face legal penalties. So,
00:10:32.760
I mean, I'm very, very critical of the idea that democracy, uh, does not exist along
00:10:38.480
side authoritarianism. You could probably figure out you actually, the political compass, I should
00:10:42.580
add the vaccine. They should see how far, how long people lasted with the fake vaccine. Did you last
00:10:47.600
the whole time or did you end up caving in and getting the shot? So I was, I was pregnant while
00:10:53.200
all of that was going on. Um, so it wasn't, I mean, maybe I would have caved if, if I, I would have
00:11:00.300
been fired or something like that, but I think being pregnant, I was just not, there was no way that I
00:11:05.840
was going to take something like that. Not knowing the side, like the long-term effects on, on a baby.
00:11:10.340
That's just ridiculous. I would never do something like that. And the, uh, the people at the, like
00:11:15.460
the doctor's appointments, they would every time try to pressure me. Uh, and it's just like, no,
00:11:19.520
I'm not, you're insane. If I can't even drink certain types of tea, because we don't know the
00:11:23.620
effects. If I can't use certain face creams, there's no way I'm taking this, this vaccine.
00:11:27.180
If you haven't done long-term studies, absolutely not.
00:11:29.180
You can't use face creams while you're pregnant?
00:11:31.800
Yes, a hundred percent. There's, there's certain types of face creams that if you're pregnant,
00:11:35.500
or even if you're breastfeeding, they say, no, we don't know. There's not enough studies. So
00:11:40.060
the chemicals in it, it's best that you avoid it. We just want to be super safe. And then
00:11:44.240
simultaneously, they're like, we think this vaccine is pretty legit. So you should probably go ahead
00:11:49.740
because we think it would be worse if you didn't do it. I was like, well, that's not really good
00:11:53.700
enough when it's your child's life. So yeah, I, I didn't do it.
00:11:58.020
Yeah. Props to you for standing strong. Most people didn't like all these people who pretend
00:12:01.940
to be freedom fighters and you know, they, they yap all day about, you know, how we should
00:12:06.580
resist and stuff like that. But like, I know we're like a lot of wealthy people. And I think
00:12:10.760
they deserve pushback and criticism to this day for, for folding and doing this because
00:12:15.240
none of you wanted to take it. And all of you just compromised because you wanted to go to a
00:12:18.980
restaurant. I mean, Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson are good examples of that. Perfect examples of that.
00:12:24.040
They both took it. Ben Shapiro called people who didn't want to take it dweebs. Ben Shapiro now
00:12:29.720
says, oh, well, I was wrong, but I just, you know, I trusted the government and the health officials.
00:12:34.180
It's like Ben Shapiro, why are you trusting the government at all? You're supposed to be
00:12:37.780
conservative. Isn't that a red flag that the guy who's supposed to be leading the conservative
00:12:41.700
movement, as soon as the government tells him something, he was just like, I guess we believe
00:12:45.520
him. I see no reason to question this.
00:12:47.260
Did you ever fall into the Daily Wire, Israeli Wire trap? Did you believe in their,
00:12:52.100
in their propaganda or I'm trying to figure out how base you are?
00:12:55.160
So this, uh, they actually offered me a job around seven years ago when I first started making videos.
00:13:03.500
They, I was, I was living in Montreal and they offered, they wanted me to move out to LA.
00:13:08.660
Um, they actually, they offered me so little money though, that I would have with LA taxes and cost
00:13:15.360
of living, I would have had less money in my pocket. So I didn't do it. But, um, how much was it?
00:13:20.160
I'm really glad that I didn't because I don't think I would have lasted long. Uh, they don't
00:13:25.280
like me there anymore because I'm critical of Israel. And I mean, the CEO, I had a space with him
00:13:31.120
and Nick Fuentes and he basically admitted that like pro Israel is a line, the Daily Wire, just,
00:13:36.960
you have to tow it if you're going to work there. And I'm, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do that.
00:13:41.620
So, um, yeah. And I think over the past several years have become a lot more disillusioned with
00:13:47.820
people like Ben Shapiro. He's just, I think he's displayed how establishment he is. I, you know,
00:13:53.320
I consider myself dissident, right. And he is basically as neocon as they come.
00:13:58.060
Can I, how much do they offer? What's the base salary at Daily Wire seven years ago?
00:14:01.920
Well, I mean, I don't know if this was the base salary. This is just what they offered me.
00:14:08.060
It was like 120 K or something like that. Yeah. That's, that's not worth it to sell your soul to
00:14:13.580
Israel. No, that's definitely not worth it. And that's, that's the thing. If I'm going to grift,
00:14:18.460
if I'm going to swallow my opinions and tow the party line, I might as well go all the way and at
00:14:22.740
least do it on the left where they can pay me more, where I can have mainstream popularity.
00:14:26.560
It's not worth it to only go halfway and grift, have these terrible opinions. They have to claim
00:14:31.560
that are mine only to be on the Daily Wire. That is, that is like the worst of all possible
00:14:35.900
scenarios. It is rare though, to find a conservative that's aware about the Zionist regime and the
00:14:42.080
control that Israel has. It's very, there's not that many of us on the internet. When did you become
00:14:46.160
aware of how involved Israel was in American politics?
00:14:49.620
So I, growing up in Asia, um, there's really not the same sentiment, uh, loyalty toward Israel.
00:15:01.280
It's not, I wouldn't say it's anti-Israel either, but growing up, I just viewed Israel as another
00:15:06.120
country. There's, there's the UK, there's Canada, there's Israel. All of these are just countries
00:15:11.760
that exist. So I had no strong feelings toward Israel one way or another. When I went to college,
00:15:18.920
I actually minored in Middle East studies. And so you can, with the university I went to do your
00:15:24.660
entire degree, essentially on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that never really interested me, but I
00:15:29.920
did learn a little bit about it in some classes. So, I mean, right off the bat, learning about the
00:15:34.240
founding of Israel, the Nakba Muslims being dispelled, I was never really in favor of that. I was like,
00:15:39.560
oh, that's, that's not great. But at the same time, that was generations ago. And I think that a
00:15:45.160
country can still be, you know, moral and a great place to live, even if the founding was
00:15:50.780
not under the best circumstances. Uh, you know, I would say the same thing about countries like
00:15:54.800
America. So even learning that I didn't necessarily have negative sentiments toward
00:15:59.960
modern day Israel, that started to change though, when I learned more about the current day conditions
00:16:06.940
that Palestinians were living under. That I never understood the justification for, especially,
00:16:14.320
I mean, I, I, I got a lot of praise from the right when I was talking about the human rights abuses that
00:16:20.480
we went through under COVID. Like how, how dare you lock us up? Government monitoring. This is
00:16:25.140
inhumane. You're a tyrant government. I don't, I just wouldn't internally be able to look at the
00:16:31.720
situation in Palestine and think, well, there's no, there's no harm there, right? They're just doing
00:16:36.580
what they need to do. Absolutely. I could never believe that. And so, uh, I didn't really talk
00:16:42.420
about Israel or Palestine very much until October 7th, but I never, I never claimed to be a Zionist
00:16:48.640
either. It just wasn't something that I focused much on. But when I started seeing all of the footage
00:16:53.920
that was coming out of, uh, Gaza, I mean, I, I didn't sleep for days. I have a young daughter and
00:16:59.380
seeing all of those, that footage of those children, I mean, killed in the rubble, their
00:17:04.700
parents holding their dead bodies. It just, I don't know how I could not be affected by it. So
00:17:09.760
I started posting about how that was wrong. And I started getting called an anti-Semite smeared as
00:17:16.100
a Jew hater because I didn't support specifically Israeli action against Gaza. And I mean, I've had so
00:17:23.580
many conservative commentators, people you would definitely know message me and say, I think it's great
00:17:29.080
that you're speaking out. Like, I totally agree with you. We just, you know, I don't want to rock
00:17:33.460
the boat. And it's frustrating because of like, well, if more of us did it, then this hold that,
00:17:39.220
you know, the establishment Zionist narrative has over conservative media, it wouldn't be able to
00:17:43.820
last, right? They can't blacklist all of us. They can't fire all of us. Um, but it's kind of,
00:17:48.740
it has been encouraging because I think we're starting to see more and more people speak up. I mean,
00:17:52.580
you have people like Candace Owens, who's I think part of that Tucker Carlson, absolutely. And I don't think
00:17:57.420
this is one of the things where I don't think you can put like the snake back in the jar. It's out.
00:18:02.240
The footage is out there. People are starting to question why it's, this is the one issue you can't
00:18:07.280
talk about it. Why, as soon as it comes to antisemitism, all of these so-called conservatives
00:18:11.920
who are anti-woke all of a sudden turn into social justice warriors where they're talking about safe
00:18:16.320
spaces and like bigotry, systemic injustice. So I'm actually, I'm encouraged because even though
00:18:23.300
like you are a black sheep in conservative media, if you're not a full-on Zionist, that,
00:18:27.920
that is going to change. That already is changing. It has quite a bit, especially since October 7th.
00:18:33.160
That's when a lot of conservatives, I'll say like the normie Republicans, they started to wake up to
00:18:37.720
that a hundred percent. Um, I have to get, and I think social media has a lot to do with it.
00:18:42.540
Social media, there weren't that many people doing it. I remember I could count on one hand,
00:18:46.100
the people that were speaking about it. It was me. It was Myron from Fresh and Fit. It was Nick
00:18:49.920
Fuentes and Zerka. Uh, there's not, other than that and yay. And I, I, the yay 24 presidential
00:18:55.860
campaign short-lived, but that was when people really started to speak about that. And then
00:19:00.300
October 7th was really like the final blow on that door to, to open up that conversation. And now
00:19:05.640
everybody is, is, is speaking about it. But sometimes it's like, oh, we're Candace Owens and
00:19:10.100
Tucker Carlson are taking credit for something that we were doing and getting canceled for, for years,
00:19:13.520
but it's good. You know, what's more important is this conversation happens. And I saw that space that
00:19:18.080
you did, uh, with Nick Fuentes. And that's when I, I realized like, okay, that this is, uh, this is
00:19:22.320
good. I, I didn't, I didn't know who you were before. And then I started to look at your videos
00:19:26.000
and I'm glad to see that there's, there's more people out there, you know, who are questioning
00:19:30.140
these things. Oh, absolutely. And the, you know, I've never been anti-Muslim. I, I've been critical of
00:19:38.960
Islamic terrorism, obviously, but one of the things that my eyes have really been open to
00:19:45.620
is only over the past several months, really is the way that I think Zionism has actually been
00:19:52.460
feeding anti-Muslim sentiment in American politics in general, but especially amongst the conservative
00:19:58.540
right. Because when I, like, I get accused of bigotry a lot, but the way that I test if something
00:20:04.500
is racist or just intolerant is I'll, I'll say what I want to say, but switch the group that it's about.
00:20:10.280
And the thing is, if I were to say the things like critical of, uh, you know, um, black people,
00:20:17.340
as like the left says about white people, no one have a problem with it. The same is true. If you
00:20:22.320
look at like Jewish people and Muslims, right. You can talk about Muslim influence in politics and how
00:20:28.840
that's not in line with American values. You cannot do that though with, with, with Jewish politicians.
00:20:34.740
Um, so that's something that I'm starting to realize more. And something that I'm also realizing
00:20:40.300
is that the, the animosity, some conservatives do have toward Muslims, um, which I think,
00:20:47.380
yeah, obviously Islamic streams and Bat-Tarid, like all of the disclaimers, but there is an actual,
00:20:52.660
like dehumanization there. I was appalled at how many people who follow me were saying that basically
00:20:58.760
everyone in Gaza is a terrorist and that they're all, they should basically all deserve to be
00:21:03.220
bombed. That was a, that was a big wake up call for me.
00:21:06.300
Yeah. People could actually go around saying that and believing that there's a lot of conservative,
00:21:09.400
I don't want to give them any, any credit, but I think the audience knows who some of these people
00:21:13.080
are. Uh, they say that everybody in Gaza deserves to die because they're all terrorists. And that's,
00:21:17.340
you know, from 25 years and even more, you could argue of all this propaganda. I'm, I don't know
00:21:22.380
how much of a deep dive you've been doing into how far the lies go, but 9-11 is, it was very
00:21:28.720
questionable. And I personally believe that it was, um, I don't want to say it because I don't
00:21:33.940
want to get like in too much trouble, but you know, it wasn't what they said. 9-11 was not what
00:21:40.660
they said. It was, uh, and that it was orchestrated in order to get American support in the Middle East,
00:21:47.060
right? Because Israel is a small country surrounded by a bunch of Muslims who, you know, do not agree
00:21:52.340
with their values and they wanted support. And so it's war by deception. You got to give credit to
00:21:56.600
people like Ryan Dawson for talking about it. They lied, uh, to get American support for Vietnam
00:22:01.520
war. We lied about the Gulf of Tonkin. Americans lied about the Gulf of Tonkin. And that's public
00:22:06.700
information. That's not a conspiracy. Uh, you can see that over and over again, we understand how
00:22:11.180
important it is to, to have an attack in order to lie and go to war. All right. That's why we lied
00:22:16.000
about, Americans lied about the weapons of mass destruction, the chemical weapons. And so the,
00:22:22.140
uh, the propaganda to smear Muslims for so long that that's what helped me realize that,
00:22:26.940
you know, that there was a lot more to Islam that I wasn't aware of. I'm curious about your
00:22:30.540
theology though. Where do you, where do you align? You know, you're in a very Christian place in
00:22:34.160
Nashville. Yes, I am. Um, so I am Christian. I consider myself born again, Christian. Um, my,
00:22:40.780
I guess, family background is more Catholic and my husband is Catholic. So I'm also, I guess I'm
00:22:46.180
familiar with the Catholic church, but I have a lot of criticisms of it. So I definitely don't
00:22:49.580
consider myself Catholic. Um, and something else, I mean, if you, if you really want to talk about
00:22:55.460
all these issues, uh, what I've been awakened to in regard to the Israel situation is how there are
00:23:01.160
a lot, not unsubstantial number of evangelical Christians who actually believe that it is,
00:23:07.820
it is a divine mandate to support the government of Israel financially, like through taxpayer dollars,
00:23:14.320
uh, Mike Johnson, speaker of the house, he is one of these people. And so not only is that,
00:23:19.580
I mean, that is just flat out heretical. In my opinion, there's no biblical backing to this.
00:23:25.340
I grew up going to church, uh, not, not a very religious family, but still I never heard of
00:23:32.080
anything like that before I came to the United States. It's really this American Zionist Christian
00:23:38.200
belief. And it's, it's absolutely a false teaching. And I think we need to spend more time as Christians
00:23:45.080
discussing this because it actually is leading people. There are pastors who claim to be Christian
00:23:50.500
who are encouraging this war because they believe that this conflict with Israel and Iran specifically
00:23:56.320
is going to bring about the second coming. So they're, you know, instead of being peacemakers,
00:24:00.940
they're trying to egg on an escalation of, of arms and everything like that. It's insane.
00:24:05.420
It's totally insane. Do you know where that, where does that come from the, from the evangelical
00:24:10.060
Christians? Because Judeo Christian values that has nothing to do with the Bible or Christianity.
00:24:15.300
That's something that politicians started repeating. And now so many boomer conservatives
00:24:19.680
that wear the MAGA hat, they know that they are supposed to have this allegiance towards Israel,
00:24:24.480
but they don't know why they know that we're like, they're our strongest ally. Israel's our ally.
00:24:28.720
And like these, they'll talk about the draining the swamp and right, like America first. Okay. But
00:24:33.720
why do you have this allegiance towards this country in the Middle East? And you can't even
00:24:37.520
give me one reason why they're our biggest ally. What do we get from them?
00:24:40.920
They have reasons. There's not very good ones. So one of, I like when I started learning about
00:24:46.460
dispensationalism, which is, I guess the, the sect of Christianity that believes we need to give
00:24:51.380
money to Israel. There are, you know, the Jews are basically still God's chosen people, which I mean,
00:24:56.100
as a Christian, I'm sorry, I'm not going to believe that I meant to be cuckolded in my own
00:24:59.860
religion. Like, no, if you're a Christian, Christians are God's people. Like you, you can't
00:25:05.200
have this, like, as a Christian, believe you, you are a Christian second-class citizen. It just
00:25:10.120
doesn't make sense. It's totally weak. But Keith Woods did a really great thread. He's a really
00:25:16.140
interesting account to follow. He did a really great thread explaining the origins of this
00:25:21.020
dispensationalism. And it actually, at least from what he said, dates back to basically the Zionist
00:25:28.060
influence that tried to infiltrate American churches for absolutely political gain. And as
00:25:34.480
you can see, they've been very successful. And so I'll go back and forth with people who follow me
00:25:39.440
here. Christians are like, Lauren, this is wrong. You know, we have to support Israel. It's like,
00:25:44.040
don't you think it's kind of strange that the Bible would reference a government that didn't exist
00:25:49.500
100 years ago? So Christians in the 1800s, what was their actual Israel? There are just so many
00:25:54.820
ways that this doesn't make sense. But they've actually managed to convince, again, not an
00:26:02.820
unsubstantial number of evangelical Christians, that they have a God-mandated duty to support Israel
00:26:09.160
financially, morally, whatever it may be. And it's kind of terrifying. And when that's the type of
00:26:15.320
loyalty you're up against, obviously, it's going to take time to shake them loose of it. But what's
00:26:19.580
encouraging is that Gen Z is not falling for it at all, all at all, even amongst conservatives.
00:26:24.720
It didn't work anymore. But I'm wondering, what is the, what's the difference? And, you know,
00:26:30.500
stop me if you don't want to speak about this, but why are you not Catholic, but your husband is?
00:26:34.760
Yeah, so there's, there's a lot of differences between, I guess, what I view as like biblical
00:26:44.260
Protestantism and the Catholic Church. So there's a lot of dogma, a lot of theology that Catholics
00:26:51.380
have, that is not present in the Bible. And as a Protestant, I believe in Sola Scriptura, so that,
00:26:58.360
you know, the Bible, that that's basically, those are my religious beliefs, what is found in the Bible.
00:27:05.260
Catholicism has a 2000 year history of church leaders, you know, they have the catechism,
00:27:11.240
their beliefs have kind of changed over time, and there's record of all of this. So personally,
00:27:16.220
I just, I, in no way believe that the Pope more so than me, is in a, in a position to communicate
00:27:24.140
with God and adopt, like new, maybe positions for Christians to follow. And I think there's also a lot
00:27:31.640
of problems with the Catholic Church, the way that they uphold the saints, that feels a lot like
00:27:35.780
idol worship to me. I'm not comfortable with things like immaculate conception. A lot of Catholics
00:27:40.900
believe that, I mean, all Catholics, I think, believe that Mary was sinless, which I do not believe. I see
00:27:49.500
no evidence in the Bible to venerate her in that way. And I think some Catholics also believe that
00:27:53.840
Mary died a virgin. The Bible says that Mary and Joseph had other children, that Jesus had siblings.
00:28:01.400
So there's, there's a bunch of issues like that. Nothing is so great where I won't consider a
00:28:07.300
Catholic person a Christian like I am. I know some Protestants, they will go that far to kind of
00:28:11.800
distinguish the faiths. But I just, the more I learn about the Catholic Church, including its
00:28:18.360
current leadership, Pope Francis, the more I say, I would never trust these people with my salvation
00:28:23.660
or to guide me spiritually. And I will also say, so I did get married in the Catholic Church.
00:28:28.220
For my husband, we had to do a marriage prep class, which I think is a good idea. But in that marriage
00:28:33.800
prep class, we also had social justice aspects added in about racial equality and like environmentalism.
00:28:41.580
And that was just another reminder of why I could never say that the Catholic Church is God's one
00:28:47.720
true church. Well, I had some of the same reservations. I grew up Catholic. I mean, I
00:28:51.540
wasn't, I did actually almost get confirmed. I went through catechism quite a bit, but the hierarchy
00:28:56.460
and Catholicism is something that I could never, like that took me away from the faith, right? The
00:29:01.180
fact that they have the bishops and the popes, it's like, wait, these people are more important to
00:29:04.660
God than me. Like we're, we're all human, right? And then also some of, some of the rituals,
00:29:09.180
but I understand your, your reservations with fully believing that, but what, can I ask you,
00:29:16.480
what's that like having a different faith in a marriage? Like, and what would you recommend for
00:29:19.880
people who are approaching marriage and maybe they're coming across the same obstacles?
00:29:25.720
Well, I mean, we end up going to church a lot more than we would if it were, if we were of the
00:29:31.280
same faith, because I mean, I find it hard to build a community in a church. We started when we
00:29:37.900
were just engaged doing like one week of Protestant worship, one week of mass, but then I was finding
00:29:43.140
it's, it is hard to build those connections if you're only there every other week. So that means
00:29:47.060
that I want to go every week, but then I still want to go to mass with my husband. So then that
00:29:51.240
means Saturday mass, a Saturday evening mass, and then Protestant worship Sunday morning. So it ends up
00:29:56.740
being, you know, it's a compromise. It's absolutely something that we need to navigate. And I know,
00:30:01.920
you know, I was okay, doing a Catholic marriage, it was important to my husband and his family.
00:30:07.500
And I wanted them to feel like I was respecting their beliefs. But also at the same time, the
00:30:13.700
priest that ended up marrying us said a bunch of stuff during our ceremony, I absolutely believe
00:30:18.540
to be, I don't want to say heretical, but definitely not in line with what the Bible says
00:30:23.540
about like getting to heaven. He basically said that we have to help each other work toward heaven.
00:30:28.480
And it's like, that sounds like salvation based on work. So I mean, it's not something
00:30:33.200
that I'm going to recommend. And I'm not going to pretend that it's not something you need to work
00:30:37.680
on. Is it a make or break deal? If you're at least both Christians, but different denominations,
00:30:43.340
I think you can make it work. But it's just one more thing to consider, I guess, if that makes sense.
00:30:52.220
What was the can you explain your reservation with that statement? What do you mean that that's
00:30:56.720
getting to heaven based on works? So one of the criticisms that Protestants tend to have about
00:31:02.920
Catholics is that they believe in salvation based on works based on, I guess, going through things
00:31:10.160
like sacraments, or the idea that you need to contribute something to your own salvation, which
00:31:17.420
generally Protestant belief in, in salvation is that it is purely a gift from God based on grace.
00:31:25.460
It's not something you can earn, we could never earn it, because in that way, you would be in some
00:31:30.460
way responsible for your own salvation. And, you know, the idea that you need to work toward heaven
00:31:35.980
in any way, that essentially means that you've done something to get to heaven instead of relying 100%
00:31:44.000
upon the grace of God, because we know that as sinners, there's nothing we could ever do to make
00:31:49.000
ourselves worthy, you know, without Christ's atonement. So that is one of the other, one of
00:31:55.660
the other disagreements I have with the Catholic Church. What I have found, though, and I will say
00:31:59.800
this is that I'm very, I'm very open to the idea that these beliefs may all depend on the Catholic
00:32:06.820
person. Like I've met Catholic individuals who are really into Mary, they, you know, hail Mary's,
00:32:12.740
it's all about Mary, go to their homes, Mary's everywhere. I think that's kind of idolatrous.
00:32:18.180
But I have other Catholics that I know where they really do focus on Christ. They really do believe
00:32:22.900
that salvation is based on the atonement on grace, it's not something you can earn. So something else
00:32:28.340
I've kind of learned navigating, like interfaith marriage is to not assume, you know, an individual's
00:32:34.080
theology and belief set just because you're familiar with their church. And I think that's also true for,
00:32:38.380
you know, conservatives should keep that in mind for Muslims as well. A lot of conservatives will be
00:32:42.780
like, well, I saw on Twitter or Facebook, this post from one of the Hadiths, therefore, I think all
00:32:49.080
Muslims want to kill me. It's like, there's so many things wrong with that. So I try to approach people
00:32:54.460
of a different religion with some open mind, open mindedness, until I get to know them personally.
00:32:59.420
Right, especially right now, it's important that we focus on what we have in common. And I remember the
00:33:04.380
first day of Ramadan, I had some time to kill this Ramadan is the fasting month. And I was past the Catholic
00:33:10.860
church. And so I grew up Catholic. And I was just kind of, I was just curious, you know, to see what it was
00:33:14.560
like. After so many years, I walked in. And the first thing, you know, it's peaceful there. There's like,
00:33:19.380
there's clearly the presence of something that's good. But I saw a guy like on his knees, and he had his hands
00:33:24.340
up. And it was a it was Mary that he was like, of course, they have the cross there. But there's also
00:33:29.180
like a section of the church sectioned off for Mary in Islam. Like we, we love and respect Mary,
00:33:34.220
she's, she's very important, but we don't pray to anybody besides God. And so I saw that.
00:33:38.700
And I agree with that.
00:33:40.340
You agree to just praying to God.
00:33:42.760
Yes, 100%. And I think a lot of Protestants, they look at Catholics praying to saints,
00:33:47.620
and praying to Mary, and it comes across as idolatry. Like, why are you praying to someone
00:33:53.140
else, even if it's for interested, like, just pray directly to God. That's my opinion.
00:33:58.280
Yeah, cut the woman out and just pray to God. I don't know why you prayed. But that's a pretty
00:34:01.740
big disagreement. And I can move on. But I just I've never met a, I don't know, a couple
00:34:07.380
that has that many differences in their, in their theology like that. Do you think that
00:34:12.020
that's so interesting? And I guess it's because you have a Catholic background, because I've
00:34:16.440
explained this to people who are atheists, or who are not religious, that I'm Protestant,
00:34:21.780
and my husband's Catholic. And it's, you know, something we, we actively work to make it work.
00:34:26.160
And they're like, why? It's basically the same thing. It's like, no, no, it's that there are
00:34:32.820
meaningful differences. Is it something necessarily that's going to come up every single day? But no,
00:34:37.140
there are, there are differences, for sure.
00:34:40.140
And I was looking through your YouTube channel before doing this interview. And I've seen that
00:34:43.780
you've had quite a few videos with my, my former friend, and now I guess nemesis destiny.
00:34:48.920
I think that the presence of somebody like, yeah, you know, we actually did. We actually did.
00:34:54.720
Ironically enough, like I have, I like befriending people that I have disagreements with, because it
00:34:59.360
makes the conversations interesting. Now I can't really do that. Like, I'm too much of a, I guess
00:35:04.460
I have, I'm too polarizing of a figure. And I had the influences got to a point where it doesn't
00:35:08.960
make sense. You know, I can't trust these people. So it used to be fun, like back in high school,
00:35:12.500
college, I'll like, I'll befriend the liberals and like, all the different types, like the blue hairs,
00:35:18.200
those people, I would hang out with them, you know, just so that we could be able to spar mentally
00:35:22.100
and have disagreements and conversations because I found it stimulating. And so destiny kind of fell
00:35:26.340
into that category. But since then, I think that his presence and everything he stands for is why
00:35:31.920
so many people are finding God. I think that someone like him, he's a perfect example of why the
00:35:37.100
spiritual warfare and the spiritual awakening that's happening is so prevalent because guys like
00:35:42.280
him are pushing absolutely nothing. I'm curious about what you think about people like him.
00:35:46.400
Well, I think he presents a very materialistic and frankly, hedonistic view of the world.
00:35:54.740
He's an interesting person because he is, I think, one of the few people on the left who's
00:36:00.460
like actually liberal and not just a crazy woke communist. Like he's not a communist. So he's
00:36:06.320
from that perspective, I think it's interesting to talk to him because like, it's almost like,
00:36:12.060
especially amongst streamers, online people, the left wing perspective is basically full on,
00:36:17.900
you're socialist, you're communist. Like the idea of just a liberal who wants some government,
00:36:22.860
but isn't a full on commie and likes capitalism. That's almost unheard of nowadays. But when it
00:36:27.320
comes to his social stances, it's interesting because I've streamed with him on my pseudo
00:36:33.100
intellectual podcast. And so we kind of touched on OnlyFans a little bit and he acknowledges like,
00:36:37.900
yeah, it's not gonna be good for everybody. But for some people, it's gonna be like really
00:36:40.960
profitable. And I think he acknowledges that there are downsides to promiscuity,
00:36:44.840
but it's almost like he doesn't, he's not willing to make any moral judgments about that in any way,
00:36:51.200
shape or form. It's sort of like, well, it's gonna be bad for some people, probably shouldn't do it
00:36:55.780
all the time, but it is what it is. It's like, okay, well, you're almost letting down your audience
00:37:00.360
base then if you refuse to make a clear statement on what you see happening time and time again, that
00:37:05.960
yeah, it's not just whatever you want, this will lead to negative consequences. But I think he grew
00:37:10.840
up religious and is one of those people who has had a really big back backlash against it. And so I
00:37:16.740
don't know if he's the type of person who would ever cede any moral high ground to like the conservative
00:37:21.300
right or the religious right, even if deep down, he knows they're correct.
00:37:25.440
There's always going to be sort of reservations with those people because they serve their worldly
00:37:29.960
desires in front of like anything that's any greater your belief, right? You're right. You're right
00:37:36.180
to point that out. That's something I noticed with him as well. And you know, I don't think
00:37:39.980
he's special with all the liberal atheists, like the nothingness people is that they'll admit
00:37:44.020
something like an open marriage is bad. That's not bad though. They'll say that an open marriage
00:37:48.580
isn't for everybody and it doesn't work for most people and they'll still actively partake in it.
00:37:51.980
Well, if the success rate is low and you know, it's low, why are you doing that? Like, why are you
00:37:56.180
falling? Like, why would you jump into a plane that with the wing missing? That's a terrible idea.
00:38:01.580
And if it's so low, maybe it's low for a reason. Maybe it's because marriage isn't supposed to be
00:38:07.920
open. So you can say that, well, consent, if we both agree like the, okay, but that doesn't mean
00:38:13.220
it's going to work. That doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. That doesn't mean it's something
00:38:15.780
you promote. You're totally right. Someone pinned a chat. Uh, and I remember we were debating the
00:38:20.740
vaccine about a year ago and he was so distracted from the documentary because he didn't believe in it
00:38:27.720
at all. And I looked over at his phone because he just kept looking at his phone. I thought he was
00:38:30.720
like researching something about ivermectin. I look at his phone and he's on, he's on like
00:38:34.840
Grindr. Like he's swiping on Grindr during a stream where we're debating the vaccine. It's like,
00:38:40.580
it's crazy. Wait, Grindr, that's the gay one, right?
00:38:43.520
I don't want, it might've been, Chad, I don't remember which one it was, Grindr or Tinder.
00:38:47.020
I mean, regardless, they're not that much different anyway, but what do you, how do you
00:38:52.620
communicate with those people, with the nihilist, atheist, liberals? Like what's your,
00:38:56.700
what's your relationship with these people? I mean, so like in my day-to-day life, I don't
00:39:02.020
have nihilist, atheist friends. I just, you know, I have like my mom group chat that I talk to and
00:39:07.720
everyone's like married and we have young babies and we talk about babies. Like that's my actual
00:39:12.300
social circle. That's beautiful. Um, yeah. And it's, it's great. And I, I wish that, you know,
00:39:18.940
the, the, the people out there like destiny, they could see that that lifestyle is still alive and
00:39:24.860
well. I mean, you talk to destiny about this stuff and he kind of makes it seem like this
00:39:28.700
antiquated, Oh, well that it doesn't work for anyone. That's never going to come back. It's
00:39:31.880
like, well, I, I feel like he's in an echo chamber. I think he lives in Miami. You know,
00:39:35.900
he's probably with like a lot of other left-wing people who are all polyamorous and it's easy to
00:39:39.780
think, well, this is just what everyone's doing now, but it's not like you, you make a choice to
00:39:44.580
surround yourself with that type of behavior. And I'm, I would find it just so spiritually
00:39:50.040
demoralizing just seeing everybody going in and out of these meaningless relationships,
00:39:55.680
uh, partaking in totally degenerate behavior. But anyway, back to your question. Um, yeah,
00:40:02.460
I don't really have a lot of those people in my day-to-day life. And so it's almost alien to me
00:40:07.620
sometimes when I'm talking to them online and I have to explain why like having a family is more
00:40:13.240
meaningful than just living for yourself. I don't know if you encounter that, but it's just,
00:40:17.300
it's almost like it should be, it's, it's self-evident to me at least, which, Hey,
00:40:21.800
maybe it's a good reminder that I'm in my own echo chamber too, but it's, it is kind of, um,
00:40:26.440
it is a challenge. I'm not going to lie. Well, it seems like a good echo chamber,
00:40:29.200
your group chat being a bunch of moms raising their babies. Like there's, there's such a thing
00:40:33.360
as a positive echo chamber. That seems like it's conducive to, you know, you're probably
00:40:36.780
challenging each other and trying to be, you know, moms are competitive in their own way. Like who's
00:40:40.960
spoiling the kids. Uh, and, and you're right completely about the soulless environment. Your environment
00:40:45.640
does shape who you are, what you think and what goes through your head and how you raise your
00:40:49.080
family. Miami. Uh, I finally came back to Miami after a month of being in the middle East for
00:40:53.300
Ramadan and, and seeing the way women dress, for example, out here, it does change the, how you think
00:40:58.800
it changes the way your spirit is. Uh, and I think it's good that you're in Nashville, which is, I think
00:41:03.960
one of the most Christian places in America. Can I ask, well, why did you decide to move there?
00:41:07.940
So we, um, we knew we were going to be moving to America for, for a while, just for work and the way
00:41:15.600
Canada was going, it's what made sense. But because I like, we, we work remotely. My husband actually
00:41:21.100
works with me. Um, we've worked together for probably like seven years at this point. Um, so we're blessed
00:41:29.080
that we could live anywhere, but it's almost like we were spoiled with choices. So we, we checked out
00:41:34.860
Florida. Um, it, my husband thinks it's a swamp. He says there are sharknadoes there. He's not wrong.
00:41:40.480
So that was out. It's too hot for him. You know, we also looked at Virginia, but it was,
00:41:44.940
Virginia is pretty blue. It's beautiful. So it's too bad. Uh, we, we checked out Texas.
00:41:49.640
Blaze really wanted us to move there. Never been a fan of Texas. I'm sorry. I know that's not
00:41:53.580
popular say amongst people who are more right-leaning because everyone's really big on Texas.
00:41:57.540
Um, but Nashville was kind of this almost happy medium of a lot of different things we were looking for.
00:42:02.380
No state tax. Uh, my, I like the milder climate, but it's also not too hot where you're just full
00:42:07.880
on like Florida or Arizona. There's a lot of people in the industry around here. Um, and it's,
00:42:13.940
yeah, it's, it's great seeing all of these young families like in Montreal, you don't really see
00:42:18.540
any kids or you don't see many kids. And if there are kids, they're like migrant children. The people
00:42:23.460
who we know from Montreal who are our age, most of them aren't married and don't have kids. And it's
00:42:28.520
just like a very different culture. So that's what was really refreshing about Nashville.
00:42:32.800
There's a lot of immigrants in Montreal. It's cold, like terrible weather, a lot of homeless
00:42:36.320
people. I wouldn't recommend that. Expensive. So expensive. Really expensive for no reason.
00:42:40.400
There's not a whole lot of benefits. No. High taxes. But Nashville, like, is that good food? I've
00:42:46.160
went there a couple of times, but I, I, I've been considering about where I'm going to go because
00:42:50.180
Miami is something not long-term, you know, you're right about it. You know?
00:42:53.520
So the thing with Nashville is that like the meme is true. Like, I'm sorry, but if you have the
00:43:00.340
migrants, you have better food. That's just, it seems to me, I'm not saying it's worth the mass
00:43:04.820
migration, but I, I often joke with my husband that I could open up an Indian restaurant in Nashville
00:43:10.020
and it would be the most authentic Indian restaurant in the state of Tennessee. It's pretty disappointing.
00:43:15.680
Like we were looking for a Chinese restaurant to have, um, dinner at for the mid-autumn festival.
00:43:21.580
And there was this one place that my mom, someone like recommended to her. And I was asking like, mom,
00:43:28.360
this person, they recommended it. Were they right? Were they white? Like, tell me, were they white?
00:43:33.000
She was like, yeah, but they, they've traveled. It's okay. They, they, they say this one is good.
00:43:36.880
We get there. I'm not even kidding. One of the menu items, hot chicken, low main.
00:43:42.920
So hot chick. So hot chicken is like one of the big dishes in Nashville is fried chicken. It's really good.
00:43:49.820
They put that in low main and it had pickles in it. So like you go, you go to get shawarma here and
00:43:56.740
they're going to ask you whether you want ranch with your shawarma. They don't have the garlic sauce.
00:44:02.640
They use ranch. So no, the food here is not good. I'm sorry. It's not good. It's like so many great
00:44:06.660
things, but not the food. Fat white people. I mean, white people are good at like leading nations.
00:44:10.740
They're not very good at cooking. There's not, there's not, uh, the cuisine is not for me,
00:44:14.500
but would you recommend young people to go there? I'm actually surprised that you're 29. I'm sure
00:44:19.040
you get this a lot. I thought you were, uh, maybe mid twenties. You speak like somebody in their thirties,
00:44:23.520
but I thought you were younger because you know, Asian don't crack, but would you recommend like
00:44:27.140
for the young conservatives watching this right now, they're looking about, uh, where to start a
00:44:31.560
family. Do you think that's the best place in the, in the West?
00:44:34.360
So I'm torn because I love Nashville. So many great things about it, but also it's getting
00:44:41.380
expensive because a lot of people are moving. So, um, yeah, but overall I would say absolutely,
00:44:47.400
especially like if you're single, I know it's, it's so hard finding somebody who wants to start
00:44:52.400
a family and get married nowadays. I think Tennessee is one of those places where family is still
00:44:56.520
considered the norm. I have friends who are single in Montreal. They're on dating websites. They say
00:45:00.700
everyone is like polyamorous. No one wants to get married. They're all in situationships,
00:45:04.640
all this weird stuff. Nashville is a normal place. Tennessee is a normal place. People,
00:45:08.660
they date, they get married, settle down, have kids that that's still what's happening here. So
00:45:14.660
based on that alone, I would absolutely recommend it. How did you meet your husband?
00:45:20.040
So we met when I was 21. Um, he's actually my brother's friend's best friend.
00:45:30.700
Okay. So just, it was recommended. It was, uh, it wasn't through a dating app or anything like
00:45:35.620
that. No, no. Okay. So it's probably the right way. Yeah. I mean, I, I consider myself really
00:45:41.360
lucky for that because I've, I've, I've heard a lot of horror stories about dating apps and I mean,
00:45:47.920
it just seems like modern dating is a nightmare. So I, yeah, I consider myself really, really lucky.
00:45:52.260
Absolutely. So it's probably, that's the way to go. I mean, Islam got this right. Again, the
00:45:56.920
arranged marriages is the highest success rate of a marriage dating apps. It's it, you're signing up
00:46:02.340
for it to be temporary because it's, it's making you think that you have so many unlimited options.
00:46:06.700
You're swiping through people like they're just ads on a screen. You're swiping through people like
00:46:10.840
a Tik TOK. So people are starting to reprogram their mind and even dating in general, dating is,
00:46:15.380
is a haram in Islam. You're not even supposed to date, right? Cause the idea of dating is like,
00:46:20.340
you're like testing out a relationship and it's going to be temporary because you're not thinking
00:46:24.680
people in America, young people don't date thinking they're going to marry. That's very few where you
00:46:30.260
could ask a young person, like, are you dating and married? Like, no, I'm like, I'm still finding
00:46:33.720
myself. I'm having fun. Rihanna will get on a TV and do an interview, you know, after showing her
00:46:38.020
nipples for the past decade. And then she'll say like, I'm a mom. Now your twenties are about having
00:46:41.620
fun. Well, having fun. The idea that she's pushing is it's being naked in public and, uh, being a
00:46:47.560
whore. Uh, and now that she's older and she's getting less attention, that's when she's just,
00:46:51.360
she decides to cover up. And I wish that these young women would understand like, no, your,
00:46:55.660
your youth should not be for exploring, having fun and being provocative publicly.
00:46:59.560
It should be, it's better like to be somebody like Lauren Chen. Are you were able to, to find a
00:47:04.800
husband and have kids young. Yeah. And I, you know, I, I always think that even if you're 30,
00:47:10.820
you should still be trying to settle down if you're not married yet. But also like,
00:47:13.660
I look at the life my husband and I have already built together, the history that we already have
00:47:18.840
together, the kid we have together. And I just, I, you know, I can't imagine if I were only finding
00:47:23.220
him now, like there would be so much time that I spent without him, which is great. Like, you know,
00:47:27.400
he's, he's my best friend. He's my business partner. I can't imagine having spent the last
00:47:32.400
eight years without him. It would just be, you know, so empty. And that's why I'm, I'm again, I know,
00:47:38.440
not, it's not that easy to find the right person for everybody, but for the people who aren't even
00:47:42.540
trying, you're missing out. I don't know why you would want to delay finding the person you're
00:47:47.020
going to spend the rest of your life with and who are you're going to build your life with.
00:47:51.380
People are asking about relationship advice. What, what advice would you give? Because it's,
00:47:55.900
you do have that ideal relationship. You know, you had, you have one daughter.
00:48:00.900
Yeah, we have one. She's two. She actually just turned two.
00:48:03.860
Mashallah. That's great to hear. What advice would you give to, to young people
00:48:07.180
who are looking to have a similar relationship like yours?
00:48:14.180
Definitely start trying to find the right person right away. I think I've, I've heard a lot of
00:48:19.960
young women, especially who are unmarried and in their thirties who said like, yeah, well,
00:48:26.200
I want to settle down. I wanted to settle down when I was 30, but it's actually taken me longer to find
00:48:30.320
the right person. And I look at that and I think, well, yeah. It's just don't assume that it's going to
00:48:36.580
be easy. It's not some switch you can flip and be like, okay, the right person is going to show up
00:48:41.640
right away because now it's convenient for me. Start looking right away. Be serious about finding
00:48:47.700
that person. And I recommend like, if you're, if you would move for a job offer, you should
00:48:53.020
absolutely be willing to move for a relationship to be with the person you're spending the rest of
00:48:57.300
your life with. And even with the daily wire, one of the reasons why I didn't take a job with them,
00:49:02.080
even if it weren't for the money, I had just started dating my husband and, um, we hadn't
00:49:06.840
been going out that long, maybe seven months, but I already knew, like, I knew that was the person I
00:49:11.200
was going to marry. And I wasn't about to leave him to go to LA for, for some job. It's a lot harder.
00:49:17.140
It's a lot harder to find a husband than it is to find a job. And I don't regret that decision at all.
00:49:21.600
So just be purposeful, like make it a priority. It's probably one of the most important decisions of
00:49:26.520
your life, but people act as if it's just something you do on the side, finding the right person,
00:49:31.020
especially as a woman, because your timeline is just different. I mean, I, biology isn't nice,
00:49:37.100
right? You don't have the same amount of time as a man. So don't, um, don't put it on the back burner.
00:49:42.180
Yep. A lot of women online, they get really uncomfortable and angry when you pointed out
00:49:45.880
that their, their eggs start to dry up in their mid thirties, but it's just a biological fact,
00:49:50.160
right? It's, um, here it's refreshing hearing, uh, a woman online actually be honest about the fact
00:49:55.600
that they have a clock that men don't have and they should respect it because you can't beat God.
00:49:59.860
You're not going to go beat God's, uh, creation. I'm curious about your take on, uh, just pearly
00:50:05.180
things, right? I'm sure that she, she pops up quite a few Twitter. Pearl's a friend of the show,
00:50:08.780
uh, but she's very controversial, not only to women, but in conservative politics. Cause she's,
00:50:13.320
uh, usually it's, she's always fighting someone. It's either a Christian or a trad con, someone in
00:50:18.400
daily wires, some red pillar. She's always fighting somebody. I'm curious about what you think about her,
00:50:23.060
her position.
00:50:23.520
So the first time I ever heard of Pearl, it was, um, she was on that vice feminism versus
00:50:30.300
anti-feminism panel. I don't know if you saw that. Um, but I thought she was really great in it. So
00:50:36.860
I, I was immediately a huge fan of hers. I thought she was really funny. Then I started following her
00:50:41.560
online and I saw some takes that were just, that didn't really make sense. Um, that were just like,
00:50:48.540
frankly, saying inaccurate stuff. Um, especially like as a Christian, I think that Pearl,
00:50:56.420
she calls herself a Catholic. Her, her worldview is not Christian, unfortunately. And I wish that it
00:51:01.960
was. So there's a lot of things that I would love to debate Pearl about. And actually, I think we are
00:51:07.340
currently scheduled to be on the culture war, like the Tim Pool's debate show together. Was it May 17th?
00:51:13.820
Um, and I, I can't wait for that because there's a lot of things that Pearl talks about that are
00:51:19.680
antithetical to the Christian worldview, Christian lifestyle, uh, that I, I would love to kind of
00:51:25.340
understand more her rationality for defending. And also she is someone who is literally coming at
00:51:31.820
things from a one dimensional analysis. Like a lot of the, the problems that she talks about with,
00:51:37.380
uh, you know, in regard to things like, like deadbeat dads, that's, that's one great example.
00:51:42.180
She loves saying that there's no such thing as a deadbeat dad. She, the thing with Pearl is that
00:51:48.240
she doesn't look at statistics very often. And she certainly, she doesn't consider things like
00:51:53.540
socioeconomic status and race, right? So a lot of the things she'll say like, Oh, single moms,
00:51:59.080
this and this, and it's like, Pearl, I'm sorry, but like, you're, you're largely looking at statistics
00:52:06.020
that are representative of the black community. Like you are accidentally talking about the black
00:52:10.120
community and you're extrapolating it to just be like, Oh, all women, this all men, that,
00:52:15.060
and it's like, Pearl, no. So I would, I would love to be able to talk more about that with her.
00:52:21.640
What do you think she is pushing that is anti-Catholic?
00:52:25.960
So, yeah. Um, one of the things that she talks about is the idea that, um, promiscuity is different
00:52:33.540
for men and for women. And, you know, she loves to say like, I don't make judgments. I just talk
00:52:37.960
about what is. I'm of the belief as a Christian that God's word is what is. So it's not really up
00:52:46.560
to us to say that this, I don't view this as much of a big deal as this. Um, and she does,
00:52:52.640
she excuses promiscuity in both men and women. Um, she says it's okay for, she, you know, she,
00:52:58.520
I guess diminishes the idea of men sleeping around, which is really encouraging promiscuity
00:53:04.120
amongst women, because unless she's referring to gay men, the people that are going to be sleeping
00:53:08.440
with are women. Um, so there is that, uh, she, you know, she also, this was like fresh and fit.
00:53:16.020
She seemed to try to minimize the fact that one of them was caught on tape, uh, basically trying to
00:53:22.420
solicit an abortion because, Oh, the woman, the, the mother is a prostitute. I'm not pro prostitute,
00:53:28.520
but if you believe in the sanctity of life, that even applies to babies whose mothers are
00:53:33.460
prostitutes. Um, so there's a bunch of different things like that where it's, I'm sorry, but this
00:53:39.340
is just not a Christian perspective. She's also been, uh, coming out in favor of like polygamy.
00:53:44.200
It seems, I think that was after the Andrew Tate tweet, uh, which again, it's not the Christian
00:53:48.940
perspective. Marriage is a sacrament that was established by God between one man and one woman.
00:53:53.000
Um, yeah, so there's a list of those. I, I would love to be able to talk to her
00:53:58.280
about all of these things. Um, she has an open invite to come on my show. She hasn't
00:54:03.080
taken it, but I think at the very least we're going to try to get together on the culture
00:54:06.960
war. Yeah. I had a feeling that you had some disagreements with her because it seems like
00:54:11.960
you're in a similar sphere and there's, there's not very many women, uh, who are trying to speak
00:54:15.940
about that. I agree. Uh, I agree that you're saying that what is comes from God. Like what
00:54:21.140
is does not come from any red pill book written by, you know, men, uh, what is has to come
00:54:26.620
from God specifically with fresh? Like I think a lot of that, uh, the prostitute stuff, it
00:54:30.840
could be lies and clout chasers. Um, so we're not sure about that yet, but yeah, I mean,
00:54:36.260
obviously I don't agree about abortion, but that's where like the red pill collides with
00:54:40.700
theology in a way that does not make sense. And even though I catch myself, um, on that
00:54:46.000
too, because, uh, there's a lot of red pill ideas that I'm trying to shift. I reverted to
00:54:51.940
Islam last year. And sometimes the Muslims will catch me saying some red pill, uh, ideas
00:54:57.940
that does not like, this has nothing to do with Islam. It's like, you're either Muslim
00:55:00.700
or you're not, you can't pick and choose like a buffet, uh, what you believe in or what
00:55:04.500
you don't. And I would say that that's what, and not to like debate religion, but I think
00:55:10.920
Muslims do, we have to admit that they do a better job at keeping it consistent, right?
00:55:17.400
There's more Christians who are able to pick and choose about what they follow and what
00:55:21.080
they don't. You, you get to be more of like an in and out Christian than you get to be
00:55:24.860
an in and out Muslim. Muslim, but it's just like Quran, Sunnah, that's it. Halas. Quran
00:55:28.880
obviously the book and then Sunnah being a, of the prophet piece upon him, but Christians,
00:55:33.500
they get to have, uh, they get, it's kind of like a buffet. Like some will do, you know,
00:55:37.160
date before marriage. Uh, yeah, nobody's perfect. Uh, some will, um, curse, some will do drugs,
00:55:43.440
some will believe in numerology, uh, and you don't get the same sort of criticism that,
00:55:48.000
but a Muslim gets, if a Muslim does anything that's inconsistent, uh, then, then they're
00:55:52.200
not Muslim. Then they're, they're committing sin. No, I think that's exactly right. If you look at
00:55:59.160
the, the Catholic church, especially the majority of Catholics support using birth control,
00:56:04.300
the majority of Catholics support, um, abortion being legal. These are like, these are viewpoints
00:56:10.740
that are totally at odds with the Catholic church. Right. And I'm not just talking about
00:56:15.000
a lot of Catholics, again, the majority of Catholics. And so it is, it is a problem. Um,
00:56:20.800
and I think there are a lot of very casual Christians, very nominal Christians. And yeah,
00:56:26.020
you know, unfortunately I, I see the, the way that Pearl talks about dating and relationships
00:56:31.440
and it's just, it's very worldly. And she's, she can't escape that she is coming from the
00:56:36.840
perspective of red pill, not the perspective of Catholicism, of Christianity, of God. That's not
00:56:42.060
to say that I hate all of Pearl's takes. I think she identifies a lot of problems very accurately.
00:56:46.980
She does. I think she does a good job discussing like the unfairness of divorce courts. Uh, I agree
00:56:52.240
with her a hundred percent, you know, she's not all wrong, but I just look at her and I think, okay,
00:56:58.380
this is not someone who is furthering a biblical view of marriage, of relationships of women and men.
00:57:06.600
And so in that regard, I'm going to disagree with her. That's why I like your, I like your
00:57:11.620
positions on, on everything you said, because it all goes back to Christianity. Right. And Pearl,
00:57:17.260
I was on a space with her the other day. Um, a couple other people were on there and she was
00:57:22.420
talking about how she kind of has like this coping view of the world. She's like, how many more single
00:57:26.620
moms are going to be, you know, how many more child, do you think only fans is going to rise? Do you
00:57:30.340
think she was diagnosing a lot of problems and she wasn't, she didn't have an optimistic point of
00:57:34.580
view? Right. And as somebody in religion, this is what Christianity and Islam has in common is that
00:57:39.980
even though we know things are probably going to get worse before they get better, you still need
00:57:43.360
to maintain a, an optimistic point of view towards everything, because that's the godly way to live.
00:57:48.000
You need to be positive and forward thinking and do the right thing, regardless of what's going on
00:57:51.920
in the world. Like, even though there's going to be more only fans, prostitutes running around,
00:57:55.920
we still have to be pious and have to be good citizens because that's what God wants us to do.
00:58:00.180
There's no benefit in having a negative coping attitude towards the world.
00:58:05.180
No, you're absolutely right. Actually, you, you mentioned, um, like single mothers and stuff.
00:58:09.520
So, um, well, one of the things like I'll bring up this specific instance is that Pearl likes to
00:58:15.580
talk about the divorce rate a lot. And one of the issues I have with Pearl is that I feel like
00:58:19.340
she'll, she'll see a statistic and then she'll base her opinions on it, talk about it a lot without
00:58:24.400
actually understanding it. So the divorce rate being a 50%, um, Sean, actual justice warrior,
00:58:29.940
he talks a lot about this, the way that they measure that is they take the number of divorces
00:58:34.160
and the number of marriages that happen in any given year. Obviously this is kind of a problem
00:58:38.960
because you're, you're measuring new marriages up against marriages that have existed, uh, for
00:58:44.220
decades. So right now we also have a population, I mean, an inverse where there are a lot more older
00:58:49.700
people than younger people. So you're essentially trying to, you're measuring divorces that include all
00:58:54.860
older generations where there are more people against the younger people who are newly getting
00:59:00.680
married. Um, so I think that is not a very good way of measuring divorce. I think it'd be more
00:59:05.840
accurate to kind of plot cohorts, like follow individual marriages across the decades to, to
00:59:11.880
base like how likely a single marriage is to last or not. Also, there's a lot of discrepancies
00:59:16.460
between races, between education level and between income. I think a lot of people, a lot of men,
00:59:22.140
especially look at that statistic and they think, oh, there's a 50% chance my marriage is going to
00:59:26.660
end. That may or may not be true. Your actual likelihood may be less. It may be more depending
00:59:32.460
on all those factors that I just talked about. Um, so there is more to the conversation here than it
00:59:37.340
just like marriage being a clip of the coin, whether it's going to work or not. That's not something she
00:59:41.640
really talks about. And I, I wish she did. What do you think is the biggest issue that faces the
00:59:47.420
culture war right now? Your, your content is very culture war oriented. Uh, what do you think that
00:59:53.260
we should be focusing on the most? Um, I mean, I think, I think immigration is, is huge. I'm not
00:59:59.700
sure if that falls under the culture war. Yes. It does. We need to build that wall in it because
01:00:04.180
they call you racist. If, if you say that, and you know, you said a couple of things that people
01:00:08.180
would, would definitely call you racist for, even though you're not like talking about.
01:00:12.480
So I think immigration, I think immigration is huge, but I also think, I mean, a lot of the
01:00:19.240
problems that we have, they stem from like woke indoctrination in the school systems. Um, and I
01:00:25.040
think until we get ahold of that, then things aren't going to change for the better. Like I am a hundred
01:00:29.820
percent in favor of things like homeschooling. Um, so like the trans issue, people will say, well,
01:00:34.540
this only affects point, whatever percent, why are we spending so much time on it? It's not really about
01:00:39.040
the individuals themselves who identify as trans. It's bringing attention to the fact that this is
01:00:43.180
what's being taught to your kids in school. So if they're, they're bringing this amount of crazy,
01:00:47.100
when it comes to the trans issue, what do you think they're teaching your kids about America?
01:00:49.800
What do you think they're teaching your kids about American history? It's all related. You can't
01:00:53.280
really separate it. So I think trying to dismantle the current public school system, the university
01:00:59.640
system, that's also, that's gotta be up there. Wait, are you gonna, I don't know if you, you don't
01:01:03.840
have to answer this if you want to keep this personal, but personally, I want to homeschool. I want my
01:01:07.580
children to be homeschooled. Are you doing that? Are you sending them into a tranny drag queen story
01:01:11.840
hour? Oh, never. I would, I would never. Um, I, I don't even trust private schools, frankly, at this
01:01:17.620
point, I've, I've seen too many stories about this was supposed to be a Christian school, but for some
01:01:22.120
reason they have a drag queen stripping. So no, I wouldn't, I wouldn't trust any of these people
01:01:26.880
alone with my child. So, um, it's great. I know quite a few families in Tennessee, uh, Nashville area.
01:01:32.980
So I'm hoping that we can do some sort of a, like homeschool pod or something like that. Once our
01:01:37.480
kids are a little bit older and starting to, you know, I guess, go through classes and stuff like
01:01:41.540
that. Homeschool pod. So it's like a community, like the mom group chat that you have, you all
01:01:45.320
have kids of a similar age and then you, you basically do your, that's the way to go because
01:01:50.460
you're seeing that the crazy people that they're, they're teaching your kids. And also it's so much of
01:01:55.460
what they, they read out in the history books are just straight up lies and just outdated
01:01:58.980
information. I don't want my kids to have to listen to, um, some teacher explain about the
01:02:03.880
birds and the bees or like lie to them about evolution or tell them about, you know, make
01:02:09.960
them focus on people like Charles. There's just so much propaganda that I don't want them to
01:02:14.260
have to unplug their mind to so many things that like, even now I'm still unlearning. Uh, and also
01:02:19.620
having an open mind and questioning history. These are all extremely important. I just want to ask
01:02:26.340
you one more. Um, I want to ask you one more question. Is there anything, uh, anything that
01:02:31.360
you wanted to discuss that we didn't, um, that I didn't get to touch on? Um, well, I would
01:02:38.140
like to hear more about your views on, uh, I guess con ink and the, what you call the Israeli
01:02:42.900
wire, because I mean, you're someone who you've got a huge audience. You've got a young audience.
01:02:48.360
You're the type of person that conservatives should be like holding up. Like, Hey, come on,
01:02:52.800
let's talk about this. You're influential. You, you have an audience that should be exactly the
01:02:57.260
type of people that we're trying to reach. But like you said, you you're, you're not really
01:03:01.000
mainstream in the way that like you're Michael Knowles isn't going to be interviewing you.
01:03:04.420
Matt Walsh isn't going to be interviewing you. What do you think of that? Like, are we just like
01:03:07.880
shooting ourselves in the foot with our movement? If we're alienating anyone who is remotely successful
01:03:12.420
with young men? So I believe in creating the new mainstream. I've been canceled off of many
01:03:17.280
platforms and I've been blackballed from so many places and people are literally afraid to speak
01:03:21.980
to me. This is why it's like, Oh wait, Lauren Chen like is not afraid of a conversation. Like what,
01:03:26.180
what did she lose to get to this point of view? Like I'll get a debate offers. Ethan Klein from
01:03:30.860
the H3 podcast is a perfect example. He's one of the biggest like liberal streamers on YouTube.
01:03:35.660
He called me out to a debate and I said, let's talk about Zionism. And he backed away. It was a
01:03:39.300
month ago. Like he, he cursed me out. He said like, you're, you're a beta B word. If you don't want
01:03:44.060
to do the best, I said, yeah, I'll do it. You know, and let's go speak about, uh, about Israel and
01:03:47.800
Palestine because I know that you, you're, she's married to his, uh, his wife fought in the IDF.
01:03:52.680
You know, he's Jewish and he's afraid to speak about it. He has like that liberal audience who
01:03:56.320
puts the Palestine flag in, in their bio. And I said, let's speak about this. And they run away,
01:04:01.060
you know, and they ignore it, even though they're the one that called me out. Matt Walsh, for example,
01:04:04.640
he can't, he literally can't have me on because he, he, his master is Ben Shapiro, but I'm of the
01:04:11.120
belief that, you know, I don't want to go and have other people's platforms. And I think that I need to
01:04:16.040
suck up in order to, to get popularity. I'm just going to create it myself. If you cancel me,
01:04:21.040
uh, I'll just cancel you. And so I mean, like we have 9,000 people watching and just have a discord
01:04:26.080
called live right now. I don't think that's something that Michael Knowles or Matt Walsh
01:04:29.060
could touch, especially if they have access to all these platforms and they're not touching these
01:04:32.780
live numbers, you know, especially if we're on rumble on a website, that's still pretty fringe,
01:04:37.280
uh, worldwide in America, it's popular, but people are starving for the truth. So I, I believe the truth
01:04:44.080
always wins. People are going to have to seek it out. Regardless, the more they try to blackball
01:04:47.160
you, the more interesting you become. So I don't need them instead of having to think that this is
01:04:53.080
where the new media is being created. Now, instead of thinking that we need to be, you know, Oh, we
01:04:57.820
need to get on CNN. We need to get on this. Like this is, we just create our own show. So there's no
01:05:03.880
point in having to, and having to serve these people. Um, uh, the energy is where, is where the truth
01:05:10.140
goes. That's, I mean, I think that's a great thing to do. And it's, it's funny because I, I often hear
01:05:17.100
conservatives Republicans talking about like, how are we going to reach young people? And
01:05:21.740
simultaneously I'll see them villainize, demonize any, anyone, young men who's like remotely
01:05:27.660
conservative because they're more right-wing than they are. And they can't, there's this,
01:05:31.220
like the gatekeeping is more important to those people than actually being successful with a younger
01:05:36.420
audience, which is, I mean, that's how movements die. So yeah, that's, that's a good point.
01:05:41.460
I mean, that's why, uh, guys like Nick Fuentes are extremely important. Why so many people that
01:05:45.380
the youth is it's all going towards him, but like he was his movement of America first is the reason
01:05:50.200
that why Candace Owens left daily. Why really it was all a domino effect, uh, to go push this
01:05:54.440
conversation forward and they get really triggered. It's very funny that these want to be conservatives,
01:05:59.440
the issues that they die on are just that there's two genders and transgenderism is bad.
01:06:03.740
Yeah. That's it. And then somebody else like Nick Fuentes comes around and then they use labels like
01:06:07.880
Nazi white supremacists to shut up the conversation. And then people end up watching a show and they're
01:06:12.240
like, Oh, he's actually making some really good points. I didn't know this. I didn't know that
01:06:15.840
we had this, uh, this undying allegiance to Israel. And I actually, I want to, I want to,
01:06:20.060
I don't want my taxes to go towards a genocide. Why is this happening? And people start to see
01:06:24.540
through the veil. I mean, I get hit pieces all the time from like these lying organizations,
01:06:28.500
like media matters and all that, but they're losing credibility completely because, uh, you know,
01:06:34.220
what we're saying is the truth. Yeah. Well, I mean, I, I appreciate the fact that you're willing
01:06:39.920
to build something that's your own. Um, because I feel like without social media places like rumble,
01:06:46.240
I mean, who knows how many people came before you, but just weren't able to build what you did
01:06:51.920
because the infrastructure wasn't there because they, you know, they didn't have the mindset that I
01:06:55.480
could just make it my own. Um, and that's kind of what I've been thinking about a lot recently with
01:06:59.600
the whole, like kind of daily wire implosion is that like this, this could have happened maybe
01:07:04.700
generations ago and the conservative movement would look totally different, but they had enough of a
01:07:08.340
stranglehold where they were able to keep this down. But I don't think, I don't think it's
01:07:12.120
sustainable anymore. Like I don't think in 10 years, uh, the face of the conservative movement or
01:07:16.580
the right is going to be someone like Ben Shapiro. No way it can't. I don't think they can maintain
01:07:21.260
the level of control that they've been able to until now.
01:07:23.460
It's going to be sooner than 10 years. I think I give him a year. I give him a year. Like Jordan
01:07:28.220
Peterson, like he was able to hold that reputation for so long just because of transgenderism that he
01:07:34.360
was like this really insanely smart professor, but he, all these people got vaccinated. Like,
01:07:40.140
I don't believe in anything you say now. You're not actually about freedom. If you got this vaccine
01:07:44.860
and then they sit in a restaurant and they're wearing a mask or no, they take off their mask and
01:07:48.880
they're sitting in a coffee place to be like, Oh look, we got vaccinated. Now we're in public. It's all
01:07:52.880
people see the propaganda. So yeah, the, as long as we keep having these conversations,
01:07:57.200
we're not going to let these people win, but yeah, thanks for coming on Lauren. I appreciate
01:08:02.600
your time. I wish the best of luck to you. Where can we, uh, where can we find more of your content?
01:08:07.520
Sure. Well, I'm on Telegram, uh, X and Instagram at the Lauren Chen. And you can also find me on
01:08:14.200
YouTube at, uh, Lauren Chen is my main channel where I do like social political stuff. And then
01:08:19.800
media-holic is my second channel where I do, uh, like pop culture reviews, uh, entertainment news
01:08:24.820
and that kind of stuff. And I would love to have you by the way, on my podcast too.
01:08:29.020
Anytime, anytime we can do it. Do you have anything that's coming up? What are your,
01:08:31.800
your future plans? What are you looking forward to?
01:08:34.380
Well, actually, um, April 27th, I'm going to be in Austin at Minds Fest, uh, which is going to be
01:08:40.440
like this huge event with a bunch of different panels, people. Uh, Alex Jones is going to be there as a
01:08:45.240
special guest. I'm going to be on a panel about communism and also doing standup. Jimmy Dore
01:08:49.520
is going to be there as well. He's also going to be on a panel and standup. Um, yeah, so that's
01:08:54.080
going to be a really fun event. And I think tickets are still available. Uh, it's Minds Fest at the
01:08:58.180
Vulcan. If you search it, you can, um, probably find the link.
01:09:02.060
That's great. So you're, you're proving, uh, hopefully that women can be funny.
01:09:06.040
Well, that's why I like to preface that I'm not just doing comedy. It's female comedy. Okay.
01:09:10.280
Much lower bar. So just want to get everyone's expectations, uh, in line with what's going to
01:09:15.200
happen. Right. So most of the jokes are going to be about your ovaries and having children and
01:09:19.160
being emotional. Well, actually this is, I'm, I'm going to see how, how cool the right wing is with
01:09:27.100
some, some of the edgier stuff. Um, yeah, like that's, that's where I'll leave it. Uh, I'm hoping
01:09:33.500
that once I perform it and post some clips that I don't get any calls from anyone that I work with,
01:09:37.840
but we'll see. We'll see. Okay. So you can come and see her at a Minds Fest. She's going to be
01:09:41.740
making Nazi jokes. And, uh, I hope, uh, hope you, and I hope all of this success to you and your
01:09:47.220
family. And, uh, yeah, thanks a lot for coming on Lauren. I'll, I'll speak to you soon. Yeah.
01:09:51.260
Thanks so much. Have a good one. Have a good one. Bye. W Lauren Chen. Good interview.
