00:00:42.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:44.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:48.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:51.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:52.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:53.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:13.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:22.000 With us right now is Carol Markowitz.
00:01:24.000 Welcome back to the program.
00:01:25.000 Hi, thanks so much for having me.
00:01:26.000 So you moved to Florida because of Ron DeSantis, largely, right?
00:01:29.000 Largely because of Ron DeSantis' leadership, yeah.
00:01:32.000 So I want to talk about DeSantis.
00:01:34.000 I was kind of talking about this with Libby from the post-millennial.
00:01:37.000 How much of DeSantis' success do you think is the policies versus his ability to present them?
00:01:42.000 I think it's both.
00:01:44.000 I think it's the fact that he comes up with really innovative policies and stands behind them in a way that I don't think we see very often from Republican politicians.
00:01:52.000 He doesn't fold at the first sign of criticism or when he gets any pushback.
00:01:58.000 And so I think that we're just not used to seeing that, especially from a governor.
00:02:03.000 I think that we saw some of that with Trump, but what DeSantis is doing is very different because it, you know, just governing in that way is a different animal than just talking like that.
00:02:15.000 Yeah, it's just, it really is the question of what kind of importance is the ability to communicate to a population.
00:02:21.000 I mean, I travel all across the country and everyone loves DeSantis.
00:02:25.000 They love him.
00:02:25.000 Yeah.
00:02:26.000 Right.
00:02:27.000 And they love him because of his boldness and his courage.
00:02:29.000 But, you know, if he just kind of was unable to really talk well and did all those things, you got to wonder if he would still get the same sort of coverage.
00:02:37.000 And again, I don't even know if it's the talking so much as the action of not getting off his hand and just kind of like standing behind what he's doing.
00:02:37.000 Right.
00:02:46.000 I think Disney is a great example.
00:02:48.000 I think that a lot of politicians would have immediately folded when Disney pushed back.
00:02:52.000 They're a big corporation in my state.
00:02:54.000 Very important.
00:02:55.000 I have to keep them happy.
00:02:56.000 And DeSantis was like, no, I'm going to win this exchange.
00:02:59.000 Watch me.
00:03:00.000 How is that shaken out?
00:03:02.000 I mean, Disney had their tax benefits cut.
00:03:04.000 Yeah.
00:03:05.000 Well, that's still in development.
00:03:08.000 But, you know, we don't hear anything from Disney, right?
00:03:10.000 It's been kind of quiet.
00:03:12.000 He signed it into law, though, didn't he?
00:03:14.000 No, it's still, it's going to be like a little while before it becomes official.
00:03:19.000 But did he sign the law?
00:03:21.000 It's not, it's not, I don't think it was an executive order.
00:03:25.000 I think it was something that has to pass through the legislature and it's going to be a bit.
00:03:29.000 I think it did, though, didn't it?
00:03:31.000 No, no, not yet.
00:03:32.000 No.
00:03:33.000 Okay.
00:03:34.000 So do you think he's going to run for president?
00:03:36.000 You know, it's so tough.
00:03:38.000 Yeah.
00:03:38.000 Do I think so?
00:03:39.000 Do I want him to?
00:03:40.000 I got to Florida in January, definitely wanting him to run for president, but now that he's my governor, I kind of want to keep him my governor for a while.
00:03:48.000 But look, yeah, I think he's positioned really well to run for president.
00:03:52.000 I think he'd be an amazing candidate.
00:03:54.000 And it'd be a loss for Florida, but a gain for the nation.
00:03:58.000 What is the consensus you think in Florida?
00:04:00.000 I mean, it used to be kind of a battleground state and now it's tilted.
00:04:04.000 So it's funny because Floridians are very worried about this new influx of people.
00:04:10.000 I have not met a single person who's moved to Florida in the last two years who's been a liberal, not one.
00:04:16.000 And I've met tons and I've had so many people reach out to me.
00:04:18.000 But just in, you know, living my life in Florida, you'll be like, oh, I moved here in January.
00:04:22.000 They'll be like, oh, we moved here last year.
00:04:24.000 Conservatives, all.
00:04:25.000 So what I always say is, you know, the people that you have to worry about are the ones who moved here there before Ron DeSantis, the ones who moved there a decade ago for the weather and the taxes and whatever.
00:04:34.000 Those are the liberals.
00:04:35.000 The liberals are not the ones who have escaped New York or California or other places and moved to Florida during the pandemic.
00:04:42.000 Those people are conservatives and you don't have to worry about them.
00:04:45.000 Yeah, it's this awesome test case in like the creation of a free state.
00:04:49.000 Yeah.
00:04:49.000 Basically.
00:04:50.000 Right.
00:04:50.000 And so where is so is the gun issue a big issue in Florida right now?
00:04:54.000 So, you know, again, it's like such a funny thing in Florida where everybody owns a gun and it's really not such an issue.
00:05:03.000 It's not a, it's not like it is, for example, in New York where they're going to be raising the age to 21.
00:05:09.000 And it's just a different vibe.
00:05:11.000 Even the people sort of that I have met that have been on the left, again, who did not get there in the last two years, own guns, defend gun ownership.
00:05:18.000 It's a completely different situation.
00:05:21.000 So what other stories are you looking at and working on?
00:05:24.000 So I still write a lot about New York.
00:05:27.000 I still love New York, but they're masking toddlers to this day.
00:05:30.000 I have a story in the New York Post today.
00:05:32.000 I know, crazy.
00:05:33.000 Like that is a real thing.
00:05:34.000 And I want to tell people that they can't believe it.
00:05:36.000 They're literally still masking two to four-year-olds in New York City.
00:05:39.000 It's the cover story of the post today.
00:05:41.000 What is their rationale?
00:05:42.000 They have no rationale.
00:05:44.000 They are absolutely not giving any.
00:05:46.000 I mean, their official story is you can't vaccinate that age group.
00:05:50.000 But yeah, you can't vaccinate that age group because they're really not susceptible to poor outcomes from COVID.
00:05:55.000 I mean, that's why they were at the back of the line.
00:05:57.000 If two to four-year-olds were dying of COVID, they would have been the first people we vaccinated, but they're not.
00:06:02.000 And so to treat them like 85-year-olds is really just insane.
00:06:06.000 Yeah, I believe it's a scheme to try to get children to have no memory of freedom, that they know nothing but how to be controlled.
00:06:13.000 Yeah.
00:06:14.000 And I mean, just the fact that, you know, now when the vaccine does hit for them, you must get it for your two to four-year-old or is that right?
00:06:14.000 Yeah.
00:06:22.000 Well, yeah, you're going to have to.
00:06:23.000 Otherwise, you know, who knows what kind of life they're going to live in New York?
00:06:25.000 It's amazing.
00:06:26.000 Why are New Yorkers putting up with this?
00:06:28.000 That's been the worst part for me.
00:06:29.000 I mean, I was a lifelong New Yorker.
00:06:31.000 I was so pro-New York.
00:06:33.000 I thought we were so tough.
00:06:34.000 I used to be.
00:06:35.000 I think.
00:06:36.000 But it's not the same city it used to be.
00:06:37.000 It's totally different.
00:06:38.000 It's become, I mean, it was the city where firefighters and civilians ran into burning buildings and united.
00:06:43.000 It was the toughest.
00:06:44.000 They're like, oh, we're New York tough.
00:06:46.000 They've kind of become soft.
00:06:47.000 Would you agree?
00:06:48.000 Oh, yeah.
00:06:48.000 Yeah.
00:06:48.000 The videos that come out where somebody's getting beat up on a subway and everybody is like just sitting there or filming.
00:06:54.000 Like the woman who got her hair pulled recently and the whole subway just sat there.
00:06:58.000 Like I would have stepped in.
00:06:59.000 I'm just like a five foot four woman and I would have 100% stepped into that interaction.
00:07:04.000 And yet these men are like sitting around in the subway car not saying a word.
00:07:08.000 And that's not the New York I knew at all.
00:07:10.000 No, I think that's exactly right.
00:07:12.000 But it's this kind of this paralysis across the country of just kind of the spectation of evil.
00:07:17.000 Yeah.
00:07:17.000 Right.
00:07:18.000 If I film it, that'll be enough.
00:07:19.000 That'll be my help.
00:07:20.000 Where they don't quite know what to do or it requires too much testosterone that they don't have or something.
00:07:25.000 Yeah.
00:07:25.000 I mean, New York has just completely lost its way.
00:07:28.000 Yeah.
00:07:28.000 It's really, it's really unfortunate.
00:07:30.000 I hate that that's the case.
00:07:32.000 I still have a lot of family in New York.
00:07:34.000 I definitely don't want to see it be a collapsed city, but it's, it just, it's in a bad place and it doesn't show any signs of heading in a better direction.
00:07:41.000 And I don't see who the leadership will be that will dig New York out of this hole.
00:07:47.000 I mean, and Eric Adams, I just, he's doing, I don't think he's improved anything opposed to Basio.
00:07:51.000 Yeah, no.
00:07:52.000 In some ways, worse, which is hard to believe.
00:07:54.000 No.
00:07:55.000 So, what other stories are you working on?
00:07:58.000 So, you know, I focus a lot about on Florida.
00:08:00.000 I have a response piece.
00:08:02.000 There was a piece by one of my colleagues in the post this week by Steve Cozo about how Florida sucks and how New Yorkers who move there will be back in Florida.
00:08:10.000 The New York Post wrote that?
00:08:11.000 Yeah.
00:08:11.000 Oh, what does he not like about Florida?
00:08:13.000 Oh, my God. 0.99
00:08:14.000 His reasons were ridiculous. 0.86
00:08:15.000 And my response piece will be in the post tomorrow.
00:08:17.000 But, you know, things like alligators or flood insurance is too high.
00:08:22.000 I'm like, what are you even talking about?
00:08:24.000 Flood insurance is too high.
00:08:25.000 We have no state income tax.
00:08:26.000 Like, get back to me when, like, you know, when you've reached that level.
00:08:30.000 But Gators, I've seen rats the size of Gators in New York City subways.
00:08:34.000 Like, now I'm going to be worried about Gators.
00:08:36.000 Did he really say Gators?
00:08:38.000 Yes.
00:08:39.000 Then this person got published in the New York Post.
00:08:41.000 Yes.
00:08:42.000 He's a food writer who actually vacations in Florida quite a bit and writes about the restaurant scene there because the restaurants are, you know, a hot thing in Florida. 0.93
00:08:51.000 And yet he wrote this ridiculous piece. 0.57
00:08:54.000 Look, I get people in New York. 0.97
00:08:56.000 I also, you know, I used to call myself a New York supremacist.
00:08:59.000 I also used to be very defensive of New York.
00:08:59.000 And like, I get it.
00:09:02.000 But you have to be honest about why people left and be back in five years.
00:09:05.000 Like, what do you think?
00:09:05.000 People move their families to another state only to return to New York in five years?
00:09:09.000 Because what's going to be better?
00:09:10.000 I mean, I used to love going to New York, worked a lot, did a lot of things there.
00:09:14.000 It's awful.
00:09:15.000 Yeah.
00:09:16.000 I mean, Andrew's doing everything he can to get me to go there.
00:09:18.000 It won't happen.
00:09:20.000 I'd be like, this won't happen.
00:09:22.000 Yeah.
00:09:23.000 And I mean, it's unsafe.
00:09:25.000 It's dirty. 0.98
00:09:26.000 People are nasty and mean. 1.00
00:09:28.000 And like you said, they're super weak. 0.99
00:09:29.000 And it pains me.
00:09:30.000 I used to love New York.
00:09:31.000 I, I, you know, again, I'm rooting for it.
00:09:31.000 No, same.
00:09:33.000 I hope to be wrong.
00:09:34.000 I hope that New York turns around.
00:09:36.000 It doesn't mean I'll be back.
00:09:37.000 I'm done.
00:09:37.000 You know, I have now with my kids.
00:09:39.000 Like, that's it.
00:09:40.000 You can't just snip snap with your kids.
00:09:43.000 So, yeah, I'm finished with New York, but I hope New York recovers and I root for it all the time.
00:09:48.000 Yeah, I used to feel that way about Chicago.
00:09:52.000 I had a great deal of pride in Chicago.
00:09:55.000 And the city's dead.
00:09:56.000 It's over.
00:09:57.000 It's too bad.
00:09:58.000 It's just hard to see.
00:10:02.000 Have you looked at how much of Russia is inside your 401k or IRA?
00:10:06.000 Did you know my friends at PAX Financial Group have zero investments in Russia through their biblical investment strategy?
00:10:12.000 Those companies were screened out long ago because they didn't pass the treat people right test.
00:10:16.000 One of the most important tenets of the Christian faith is to love your neighbor, and this includes to love your employees.
00:10:21.000 Based on PAX's biblical responsible investment strategy, a company, domestic or international, is excluded from an investment from your portfolio if it violates our innate God-given fundamental rights.
00:10:32.000 So PAX Financial is wonderful.
00:10:34.000 They share our values.
00:10:35.000 In fact, I know people that have switched to PAX Financial from our partnership, and they speak so favorably about it.
00:10:41.000 Stop using the woke money managers.
00:10:44.000 PAX Financial is rooted in biblical wisdom.
00:10:48.000 So if you have $150,000 or more and would like to know more about biblical responsible investing at PAX Financial Group, text Charlie to number 74868.
00:10:58.000 That's Charlie at number 74868.
00:11:01.000 That's Charlie to number 74868.
00:11:05.000 So you just take out your phone, text the number 74868, and type in Charlie to get to know about PAX Biblical Responsible Investing, biblical responsible investing strategy.
00:11:17.000 Take out your phone, text Charlie to 74868.
00:11:22.000 They're about to manage some money for me.
00:11:24.000 I really think highly of PAX Financial.
00:11:26.000 Text Charlie to number 74868.
00:11:31.000 You said in New York City, your daughter, when she was there, she knew multiple people in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade.
00:11:36.000 Yeah, well, gender confused. 0.89
00:11:38.000 She's in sixth grade and she knew tons of girls. 0.99
00:11:42.000 Like five, six, ten.
00:11:44.000 Like over ten.
00:11:45.000 In what kind of a population?
00:11:48.000 In so she went to one school when she was little, but she stayed in touch with everybody in that class.
00:11:54.000 I would say like eight girls in a 30-person class. 0.96
00:11:59.000 No, no, hold on.
00:12:00.000 Wait, so eight girls in a 30-person class are trans.
00:12:04.000 I mean, yeah.
00:12:05.000 Well, you know, they say gender non-binary.
00:12:09.000 Eight out of 30, that's almost one-third.
00:12:11.000 Yeah.
00:12:12.000 And that's a true story.
00:12:14.000 And then in the school she ended up going to, so many girls, and it's all girls. 1.00
00:12:19.000 Like that's that's how you know it's a social contagion and not actually just people.
00:12:24.000 So it's just girls that are the gender non-binary? 1.00
00:12:24.000 So what do you mean? 1.00
00:12:28.000 Well, so as Abigail Schreier wrote in her book, it is a social contagion gripping our girls.
00:12:34.000 Girls reach this age of puberty and they feel uncomfortable and they're just, you know, not sure how they feel about their bodies.
00:12:41.000 And suddenly they have this new out now where they're like, oh, I'm not feeling weird and bad about my body.
00:12:47.000 I'm just gender non-binary.
00:12:49.000 And they get to get demand that everybody call them they them.
00:12:52.000 And boys are generally not doing this at that age.
00:12:55.000 I'm not saying that there aren't boys who decide that they're going to be able to do it.
00:12:58.000 So interesting.
00:12:58.000 So it's a disproportionate amount of girls.
00:13:01.000 It's a super disproportionate.
00:13:02.000 Yeah.
00:13:03.000 I would think is it the opposite as we get as it gets older?
00:13:07.000 So it really happens in this real age block of middle school and high school.
00:13:14.000 That's where it grips these girls. 1.00
00:13:16.000 They learn about it online and they decide that they want to do it.
00:13:20.000 Now, are some of them going to snap out of it?
00:13:22.000 Yeah.
00:13:23.000 Are some of them going to be prescribed medicine before they snap out of it?
00:13:26.000 Also.
00:13:27.000 So irreversible damage, which is, I think, the main title of the book, right?
00:13:30.000 Yeah.
00:13:31.000 And so what Abigail writes is, you know, for a lot of the kids who will be prescribed these drugs, they will have really lifelong problems, especially around, you know, sex and love relationships.
00:13:42.000 Out of 30.
00:13:43.000 Yeah.
00:13:45.000 I mean, it's just, it's unbelievable.
00:13:47.000 It's, it's, it's literally insane.
00:13:47.000 Yeah.
00:13:50.000 And it's, you can't even say that.
00:13:52.000 You just, in Brooklyn, you couldn't say this is crazy.
00:13:56.000 So people are just okay with.
00:13:57.000 Well, you know, they get bombarded with this message that if you're not okay with your child being a they, you, you're risking them committing suicide, which is, you know, something that's.
00:14:07.000 It's the opposite, though, actually.
00:14:08.000 Right.
00:14:09.000 That's the whole thing.
00:14:09.000 It's like, it's like we're living in the upside down.
00:14:12.000 You know, with Matt Walsh's new movie, you know, What is a Woman? 1.00
00:14:16.000 He interviews a brown professor who says that she, you know, the problem is that we have to accept this kind of thing.
00:14:24.000 Otherwise, these kids will commit suicide.
00:14:26.000 She goes into this whole rant about how, you know, a chicken's a girl, but, you know, the chicken can't commit suicide. 0.70
00:14:32.000 There was a clip that circulated online.
00:14:34.000 It was really great.
00:14:35.000 But Matt Walsh is just sitting there like, this is crazy.
00:14:38.000 This is not reality.
00:14:39.000 You know, we know a chicken is a female and that's it. 1.00
00:14:43.000 So it's just extraordinary.
00:14:46.000 Yeah, we got, I mean, how many do you think then?
00:14:48.000 So eight out of 30 would be trans super quick. 1.00
00:14:50.000 How many would also then be like lesbian or bi? 0.51
00:14:53.000 You know, I wonder about that.
00:14:54.000 I wonder if like one or two of them actually aren't just gay and now they can't be or they're encouraged to be something else entirely.
00:15:03.000 And there's a lesbian liberal writer, Katie Herzig, who also writes about this, where she says, where did all the lesbians go? 0.96
00:15:10.000 Like they just don't exist anymore. 0.56
00:15:12.000 Anytime a woman thinks that she's gay, she's also a man. 1.00
00:15:15.000 It's like the patriarchy is winning.
00:15:17.000 Why aren't the feminists realizing this? 1.00
00:15:19.000 It's the last gasp of a dying civilization when you're so focused on gender, your currency is worth nothing, and you let a bunch of people in from other countries. 1.00
00:15:28.000 And you declare war on other countries and send $40 billion to Ukraine.
00:15:32.000 What a disaster.

00:16:22.000 We are joined by Lauren Chen, who is a social and political commentator.
00:16:26.000 It's a fair way to put it.
00:16:28.000 It's anything but vlogger.
00:16:29.000 Anything but vlogger.
00:16:29.000 I always say that.
00:16:30.000 Thank you for having me.
00:16:31.000 What do you have to do to become a vlogger?
00:16:33.000 I mean, pretty much just film yourself and put it on the internet.
00:16:36.000 It's a very low bar, which is why I try to avoid it.
00:16:38.000 And usually what you're filming is like putting on makeup or you just doing pranks, bro.
00:16:44.000 Yeah, I mean, the thing that when I talk to younger audiences, when I know we have a societal problem, is when I ask them, what do you want to do when you grow up?
00:16:52.000 They're like, I want to be an influencer.
00:16:54.000 Oh, no, no.
00:16:55.000 And I'm like, this is, there's nothing good that's going to come out of this.
00:16:58.000 Yeah.
00:16:58.000 I have my husband's little cousin.
00:17:00.000 She's like nine or 10, and she wants to be a YouTuber.
00:17:03.000 She actually, for Christmas, asked for like a ring light and stuff.
00:17:07.000 And I know it's strange because I have a YouTube channel, but I'm actively trying to convince her again.
00:17:11.000 So like, you don't want this.
00:17:12.000 You don't want this.
00:17:13.000 Don't do this to yourself.
00:17:14.000 Yeah, I mean, if you want to know the road ahead, ask those coming back.
00:17:16.000 Yes.
00:17:17.000 It's like you don't, there's nothing fulfilling actually.
00:17:20.000 There's other things in life.
00:17:21.000 So introduce yourself to our audience.
00:17:23.000 You have a big following and are well respected.
00:17:26.000 So you're from Canada originally?
00:17:27.000 Yes, I'm originally from Canada, but I came from Hong Kong, you said, right?
00:17:30.000 Yeah, I grew up in Hong Kong where my father's from.
00:17:33.000 So pretty much my parents' birthplaces just hate liberty right now, which is a little bit depressing.
00:17:39.000 Things aren't going so great in the homeland.
00:17:42.000 But yeah, I'm in Nashville.
00:17:43.000 We love Tennessee.
00:17:44.000 And I do YouTube videos as well as write some articles.
00:17:48.000 I like to talk about politics and culture and the way that the two intersect, which I think, you know, politics is downstream from culture.
00:17:55.000 And I think for the longest time, the right was losing young people because we were so focused on politics and not on culture.
00:18:01.000 And I wish I could just throw Thomas Soule's basic economics at a young person and have them be a conservative, but we know it doesn't work like that.
00:18:09.000 Yeah.
00:18:09.000 So a lot of different ways we can kind of venture through this conversation.
00:18:13.000 What are stories that are really getting you fired up that you're going to talk about with our audience or that you think that people should know about?
00:18:21.000 Well, the panel that I'm speaking at today is about media influencing or just how they've really, I guess, co-opted the narrative of what it means to be a woman.
00:18:29.000 And they've essentially politicized an entire gender. 0.99
00:18:31.000 I think it's great that there's an entire event dedicated to young conservative women because I feel like, you know, the left has done a really great job convincing women that their identity is really to be progressive, to be a leftist.
00:18:45.000 When you look at the actual fruits of feminism, though, what women are unhappier than they've ever really been in modern history under feminism, our families are suffering if we're even having them at this point. 1.00
00:18:55.000 It's just, it's not been a good role for women lately. 0.85
00:18:58.000 And still the media perpetuates this myth that, you know, conservative women either don't exist or they have internalized misogyny or they've been brainwashed or you name it. 1.00
00:19:09.000 Yeah, so why, I mean, feminism is kind of this remarkable walking contradiction lately. 1.00
00:19:14.000 It all depends on what you define of first wave, second wave, third wave, whatever.
00:19:17.000 But generally, feminism is rooted in hatred of men and kind of just like the overemphasis of. 1.00
00:19:22.000 Yep, Miss Andrew, I think that's fair.
00:19:23.000 Yeah, so we've kind of lived under that construct for the last couple decades, I guess, say.
00:19:30.000 And we now have like incredibly miserable people that don't have children and are not married.
00:19:35.000 Yes.
00:19:36.000 And the patriarchy, if it ever existed, well, that's not going well.
00:19:40.000 Well, I mean, I think the one hope that I have for like womanhood is that feminism has ironically destroyed what it means to be a woman.
00:19:47.000 So my only hope is that the Leah Thomases of the world do better with womanhood than those of us who essentially let feminism, this political movement, really chip away at what it means to be a woman and what makes womanhood special or desirable or I guess aspirational.
00:20:04.000 So, yeah, I mean, I guess politically and otherwise, or even culturally, where do you think we are?
00:20:10.000 I mean, do you think conservatives are finally starting to take some ground and some terrain?
00:20:13.000 I think culturally it's starting to go that way.
00:20:16.000 You know, I'm not saying that the average person is more likely to, let's say, support a flat tax than before, right?
00:20:25.000 Because like those types of things, they're really more policy oriented.
00:20:27.000 It's not necessarily a thing that's going to change overnight in pop culture, but I think we are starting to at least see a rejection of leftist principles, especially the far left.
00:20:35.000 Because what we have in Hollywood, especially now, it's not just left-wing, which the entertainment business has always been.
00:20:40.000 It's actually far-left identitarian politics, which people are now getting sick of.
00:20:44.000 You know, we see that in a rejection of like, get woke, go broke.
00:20:47.000 That's pretty mainstream to say now.
00:20:49.000 So my hope is that, you know, by rejecting the far left, I guess culturally, eventually the political will follow.
00:20:56.000 And I think, you know, kind of what we're seeing in schools right now, that's a great merger of the cultural and political, right?
00:21:03.000 These cultural Marxists are coming in with all their crazy gender ideologies and they're trying to indoctrinate kids. 0.97
00:21:09.000 That's scary.
00:21:09.000 And the answer to that is political and people are jumping on board that.
00:21:13.000 So I'm kind of hopeful that things are starting to turn, but we're nowhere near there yet.
00:21:17.000 Yeah, I mean, it's the trans issue in particular is so bizarre to me. 1.00
00:21:21.000 Why do you think people are so afraid to talk about it honestly and openly?
00:21:26.000 It's really confusing to me, right?
00:21:29.000 I remember the first YouTube video I ever did six or seven years ago was about the whole transgender issue.
00:21:34.000 And I remember specifically at the time, I got conservatives saying, this doesn't matter.
00:21:38.000 No one cares about this.
00:21:39.000 This is a fringe issue. 0.61
00:21:40.000 These are crazies on Tumblr. 0.53
00:21:42.000 Who cares?
00:21:43.000 Fast forward, like six years later, now we have the White House coming out in favor of gender affirming care for children.
00:21:49.000 So like actual like chemical castration for children.
00:21:52.000 So slippery slope is slippery and it's very fast.
00:21:56.000 And I guess I never would have been able to predict that it would have snowballed this fast, but they've done a great job.
00:22:04.000 I guess the left specifically has done a great job almost like astroturfing this movement and convincing everybody like, okay, now there's 700 genders.
00:22:12.000 And it's always been this way, actually.
00:22:14.000 You think there's only two?
00:22:14.000 Like, what?
00:22:15.000 What's wrong with you?
00:22:15.000 That's anti-science.
00:22:16.000 It's like, really, because I feel like yesterday.
00:22:18.000 Massive gaslighting operation.
00:22:20.000 Absolutely.
00:22:20.000 And they're really good at it.
00:22:22.000 And so, yeah, I guess it's, I see more and more people waking up to it, but there's this hesitancy for people to engage on it because they want to be liked and they want to be considered.
00:22:22.000 Yeah.
00:22:31.000 No one wants to be a bigot.
00:22:33.000 Yeah.
00:22:34.000 No one wants to look someone in the eyes who is trans and say, no, you're not.
00:22:38.000 Like, you're not who you think you are.
00:22:40.000 I've done that.
00:22:41.000 Yeah.
00:22:42.000 Looking at, I mean, we have the videos.
00:22:44.000 But we see, we see what people do to you when you say that.
00:22:48.000 And I think a lot of people, they don't want to go through that, which I understand.
00:22:51.000 And I mean, the kind of crusader here recently has been Matt Walsh.
00:22:54.000 He'll be with us later today.
00:22:55.000 He's been kind of a pioneer on this.
00:22:58.000 And to his credit, he's been on this topic for like a long time.
00:23:01.000 Yeah.
00:23:01.000 A lot longer than I have.
00:23:03.000 And I think he has a way of talking about it that is pretty rational and reasonable and convincing.
00:23:08.000 And so I think here's an important component to this, though, is that some people are under the assumption still that, oh, who cares what you do with your body?
00:23:17.000 I won't tell you what to do.
00:23:20.000 And we did a whole podcast on this Monday, right?
00:23:22.000 Was that Monday we did that?
00:23:24.000 I'm sorry.
00:23:24.000 Tuesday.
00:23:24.000 It was a shortened week as Memorial Day.
00:23:26.000 Where we talked about the country that I grew up in, I was naive enough to believe that these people would leave us alone as long as they got, you know, chop off their genitals. 0.99
00:23:34.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:23:35.000 When in reality, they just want gay marriage, bro. 1.00
00:23:37.000 Yeah, right.
00:23:38.000 But isn't it interesting how gay marriage rates didn't go up post-Overfell?
00:23:42.000 It's almost like they didn't actually want it.
00:23:43.000 They just wanted the political power.
00:23:45.000 Interesting.
00:23:46.000 Hot take. 0.79
00:23:47.000 That's, yeah, we'll have the alphabet mafia coming in here at any time. 1.00
00:23:51.000 They'll be scaling the walls with their flags, demanding justice or whatever they do.
00:23:57.000 Oh, no, yeah, that's right.
00:23:58.000 They're too busy putting flags up on the U.S. Treasury building and the Vatican.
00:24:02.000 It's all about political power.
00:24:03.000 That's exactly right.
00:24:04.000 But I mean, part of my challenge is trying to break out like normie conservatives, of which I was naive.
00:24:10.000 I used to be kind of, you know, oh, yeah, I'm libertarian on this issue.
00:24:13.000 Like, who cares?
00:24:14.000 Yeah.
00:24:14.000 Live and let live.
00:24:15.000 Yeah, that's how I used to be like five or six years ago.
00:24:18.000 Like, oh, yeah, you can do whatever you want.
00:24:19.000 Like, who am I? 0.98
00:24:21.000 What's wrong with, like, what's your argument of why that is foolishly naive?
00:24:25.000 Well, I think that philosophy only works when it's reciprocal.
00:24:29.000 And I think what we've seen is that this is very much not a reciprocal.
00:24:32.000 The left does not want to live and let live.
00:24:34.000 And I remember when I first started talking about the issue of gender, people would say, why does it affect you?
00:24:39.000 Why do you care?
00:24:40.000 I might have said that five years ago.
00:24:41.000 Right.
00:24:42.000 I think I was young and naive.
00:24:44.000 Yeah.
00:24:45.000 And I think a lot of us could not have predicted how authoritarian the left actually is.
00:24:51.000 So we might say live and let live, but guess what?
00:24:55.000 They are the ones who are enacting laws that mandate you, refer to them by whatever crazy pronoun they want.
00:25:01.000 They're the ones who are pushing their ideologies into schools, into companies.
00:25:05.000 Exactly right.
00:25:06.000 Yeah, they're removing custody from parents who don't want their kids to transition.
00:25:10.000 We are well past a live and let live situation.
00:25:13.000 Yeah, and it was the great, I mean, we have an expression that we've been, it's like, it started as live and let live, but it's really live and let them rule.
00:25:20.000 Yes.
00:25:20.000 Which is like, oh, yeah, we're going to give them all the political power and they can do whatever they want.
00:25:25.000 And there really is no middle ground.
00:25:27.000 I think you said it best, the proper word for this is reciprocity, right?
00:25:31.000 So we can live in a free society if both sides kind of have a detente and they're willing to kind of just allow kind of maxims to go without overjudgment or whatever.
00:25:41.000 And what's hilarious is that conservatives are the ones that are still trying to live in that country.
00:25:46.000 Yeah.
00:25:47.000 I think those conservatives, I mean, Will Chamberlain says it best.
00:25:50.000 You have peacetime and wartime conservatives.
00:25:52.000 And I think we are in wartime.
00:25:54.000 And I think there are too many David Frenches still in the conservative movement.
00:25:58.000 Why do you think he's part of the conservative movement?
00:25:59.000 I think you're right.
00:26:00.000 I met him here, actually, I think, in Dallas at this building. 1.00
00:26:05.000 And he was nice, but his arguments are so dumb. 0.99
00:26:09.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:26:09.000 Like he's just, it's just, there's nothing there. 0.99
00:26:12.000 Yeah.
00:26:13.000 I mean, he's essentially made the argument many times.
00:26:16.000 I mean, like, drag queens are a blessing of liberty. 1.00
00:26:19.000 I don't know what to say to that.
00:26:20.000 And I mean, if nothing else, I think this is a good example of why conservatism was really, I mean, dead amongst our generation for the longest time.
00:26:28.000 It's because of that attitude.
00:26:30.000 And that's why I look at, you know, some of the fired up young Gen Z conservatives, and they are much more engaged.
00:26:35.000 They're much more on the offense.
00:26:37.000 And I think that is so necessary.
00:26:38.000 Yeah.
00:26:38.000 And so that might be an unintended consequence.
00:26:41.000 And you're speaking to our young women's deal just momentarily.
00:26:44.000 And you'll see that the kind of intensity these young ladies have for these gender issues and stuff, it's like the shackles are kind of off. 1.00
00:26:52.000 Yeah.
00:26:52.000 Right.
00:26:52.000 I mean, the millennial activists that we had at Turning Point USA five or six years ago, we never talked about like the gender stuff.
00:27:01.000 It wasn't like front and center.
00:27:03.000 And if I would have taken a poll, and I think it'd be an interesting poll to take actually, of kind of, do you support gay marriage or whatever, just as a guess, five or six years ago, majority would have been like, yeah, I'm fine with it.
00:27:13.000 Now I don't think that's the case.
00:27:15.000 I now think there is kind of this rebirth of like, this is not the free society I thought I was going to be living in at all.
00:27:21.000 The slippery slope is very real.
00:27:23.000 And I think even like myself, when you mentioned stuff like gay marriage, it's like, oh, yeah, well, I don't really care if they get married, like, you know, government is whatever.
00:27:29.000 I don't really have a big problem with it.
00:27:31.000 But I think, you know, that argument of why it should be legal, that was really the first step in kind of opening the door up into all of this we're seeing now.
00:27:39.000 Yes, it's, it was, and I would, we were, I was so naive.
00:27:42.000 Same.
00:27:42.000 And I just thought, I mean, you were ahead of me on the gender video and stuff, but like thinking that somehow that they were going to stop.
00:27:50.000 It was like an imperial conquest.
00:27:53.000 Like Napoleon only stops when Napoleon is stopped.
00:27:56.000 But I think it's a learning experience and nothing else.
00:27:58.000 And I look at conservatives who are still not on the money.
00:28:00.000 They still don't know what time it is.
00:28:01.000 And it's like, we don't have time for that.
00:28:02.000 That's why I love Trump.
00:28:04.000 And that's why I love DeSantis.
00:28:05.000 Yes, that's the most important point.
00:28:07.000 You have to know what time it is.
00:28:09.000 And you have to adjust accordingly.
00:28:11.000 I mean, I say this all the time.
00:28:12.000 I'd love to live in, I don't know, 1806 in a free society of like agrarian roots.
00:28:20.000 And that live and let live.
00:28:22.000 I could live and let live in 1806.

00:34:03.000 All right.
00:34:04.000 What else are you going to share with the audience today?
00:34:06.000 Let's see.
00:34:07.000 Well, I recently had a baby, which was thank you.
00:34:11.000 And, you know, I was very done with being pregnant by the end of it.
00:34:16.000 And then I was like in the delivery room all of a sudden.
00:34:18.000 Then I realized, wait, I have to get this baby out of me.
00:34:20.000 And I had not prepared at all.
00:34:22.000 And I think it was for the best because it was just like, it just happened.
00:34:24.000 But it was great.
00:34:26.000 You know, the baby is the cutest thing ever.
00:34:28.000 I have to actively stop myself from like sharing photos on social media and boring people.
00:34:33.000 But the whole my birth story kind of came at a really interesting point politically because we are very much talking about Roe versus Wade and the issue of abortion up until birth is for some reason up for discussion.
00:34:47.000 And I remember like I was like in the hospital still and there were people who were pretty much arguing like, oh, well, it's a woman's right to be able to, you know, end this baby's life.
00:34:56.000 And I had just delivered and it's, it was crazy to me.
00:34:59.000 They said that during labor?
00:35:00.000 No, well, not to me specifically.
00:35:02.000 Thankfully, the nurses had a better bedside. 1.00
00:35:04.000 That's kind of a strange.
00:35:05.000 I was going to say that.
00:35:05.000 And by the way, it's not too late to back up.
00:35:08.000 Like, hey, just so you know, there's still a window here.
00:35:11.000 Like, wow.
00:35:13.000 But that, but I mean, people do want there to be a window, actually.
00:35:17.000 And we hear a lot of arguing, like, oh, but the health of the mother, people brought this up.
00:35:21.000 If the baby is viable, there's no reason why you should abort it versus just delivering it.
00:35:25.000 And actually, I had to be induced because I had high blood pressure.
00:35:29.000 They were worried about preeclampsia and things like that.
00:35:33.000 So it was actually, I was one of those cases where the pregnancy was apparently not good for my health.
00:35:38.000 That's why they induced me.
00:35:40.000 The answer was to induce and deliver the baby, not abort, i.e., murder the baby.
00:35:45.000 Like we are talking about, I believe life begins at conceptions, but at the very least, we should be able to agree that, okay, if the thing is viable, this is a human life and there's no justification for ending it.
00:35:56.000 Yeah, and it's just the whole premise of the pro-abortion argument is that life is a burden and that the strong should be able to dominate the weak and that we have no moral obligation to protect those that can't protect themselves.
00:36:06.000 Yeah, and it's funny because I've grown up kind of all over the place.
00:36:11.000 I've lived in the UK as well.
00:36:13.000 And America is kind of an outlier in the way that it talks about abortion.
00:36:17.000 I know the left likes to make it seem like it's a Christian theocracy that we're living in, but Europe has stricter abortion restrictions.
00:36:25.000 I mean, it's just, it's not really up for debate in the rest of the civilized world that, yes, this is a life.
00:36:31.000 You know, it feels pain, it has a heartbeat, it has brainwaves.
00:36:34.000 It goes both ways.
00:36:34.000 It's so fascinating.
00:36:36.000 So it's in the United Kingdom, they have stricter abortion laws than we do federally, but they also don't have a pro-life movement like we do.
00:36:45.000 So it's so interesting.
00:36:46.000 Like they don't have like pro-life advocacy, even close to what we have.
00:36:50.000 So that's why I think the reversal and repeal of Roe versus Wade will be great because it sends it back down to the states as a first step. 0.84
00:36:55.000 And that's good.
00:36:56.000 And let states make their own decisions.
00:36:58.000 Right.
00:36:58.000 And I think it's kind of interesting the way the media has framed Roe versus Wade because I swear a lot of the women who are marching for the right to abort their own offspring believe that Roe versus Wade will institute pretty much the handmaid's tale government, which is absolutely not the case, like you were saying.
00:37:14.000 And I've even, you know, I've been listening to even the young Turks, Jenk Uger, for all of his faults. 0.56
00:37:18.000 He actually was surprisingly honest in talking about Roe versus Wade and saying that, yes, there are even pro-choice legal scholars who admit that Roe was not a good legal ruling because right, because it's just not in the Constitution.
00:37:30.000 Yes.
00:37:30.000 And it was a created right.
00:37:32.000 It was done by the, I always get this confused.
00:37:34.000 Either the Warren Court or the Burger Court, which was Burger, Connor?
00:37:37.000 It was Burger.
00:37:38.000 See, it's always the second one.
00:37:40.000 7-2 decision.
00:37:41.000 And it was just a drive-by shooting of the Constitution.
00:37:44.000 It was an absolute disaster.
00:37:46.000 How could people follow you and support you?
00:37:48.000 Sure.
00:37:48.000 You can find my videos by searching Lauren Chen on YouTube, BitChute, Rumble, and Odyssey.
00:37:54.000 And on social media, I'm at the Lauren Chen pretty much everywhere.
00:37:56.000 Twitter, Instagram, Getter, and Telegram.
00:38:00.000 It's a lot of alternative media.
00:38:02.000 Yeah.
00:38:02.000 I mean, I'm kind of banking on that.
00:38:04.000 YouTube does not like me.
00:38:05.000 Is that right?
00:38:06.000 Yeah.
00:38:06.000 I mean, Facebook, even one of the leaked memos Project Veritas had, I was named specifically as a troll.
00:38:12.000 So, you know, is it true?
00:38:14.000 That I'm troll. 0.95
00:38:14.000 I like to troll them. 0.95
00:38:16.000 I don't know if I'm a troll in general, though. 0.71
00:38:17.000 Still better than a vlogger, though.
00:38:19.000 Better than a vlogger.
00:38:21.000 And so you're speaking momentarily at our Young Women's Leadership Summit, and you're living in Nashville, and you're going to come out with a book at some point.
00:38:28.000 It's like the obligatory thing you have to do.
00:38:30.000 Oh, I'm going to try to grapple the baby, wrangle the baby a little bit more, and then maybe, maybe a book.
00:38:36.000 But I feel like I would throw a curveball and it would just be straight up fiction.
00:38:38.000 Like not anything to do with politics, just like zombie apocalypse.
00:38:41.000 Let's go.
00:38:42.000 So much more realistic than what we're living through right now.
00:38:46.000 I think that would be comforting.
