00:01:29.000 We are going to have Jason Whitlock on the program in just a second, host of Fearless with Jason Whitlock.
00:01:37.000 In the meantime, I want to play some pieces of tape here from President Trump's excellent sit-down interview with Meet the Press and Kristen Welker.
00:01:45.000 He didn't have to do this.
00:01:47.000 He sat down at length and went through a variety of different topics with her.
00:01:52.000 Let's go to this first one here.
00:01:54.000 On whether or not the United States will stay in NATO. Play cut eight.
00:01:59.000 NATO's taking advantage of us because we would go, look, two things.
00:02:03.000 Number one, they take advantage of us on trade, meaning the European nations, okay, like terrible.
00:02:08.000 They don't take our cars.
00:02:09.000 They don't take our food product.
00:02:10.000 They don't take anything.
00:02:11.000 They think it's a disgrace.
00:02:14.000 And on top of that, we defend them.
00:02:16.000 So it's a double whammy.
00:02:18.000 So let me just tell you.
00:02:19.000 I was able to get hundreds of billions of dollars put into NATO just by a tough attitude.
00:02:24.000 I said to the countries, I'm not going to protect you unless you pay.
00:02:27.000 And they started paying.
00:02:28.000 And that amounted to more than $600 billion.
00:02:31.000 That's a big thing.
00:02:32.000 Otherwise, they wouldn't even be fighting.
00:02:33.000 They wouldn't have any money to fight.
00:02:36.000 If they're paying their bills, and if I think they're treating us fairly, the answer is absolutely, I'd stay with NATO. You understand, even with those preconditions, many in D.C. are very upset with that answer.
00:02:49.000 But why would we be part of a membership organization that does not benefit our own country?
00:02:54.000 NATO is basically dependent on only two countries, the United States of America and Germany.
00:02:58.000 Basically, the entire project hinges on two countries.
00:03:02.000 Now, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has been around in a rules-based international order post-World War II. And the idea of NATO was always to be a check on the Soviet Union. 0.50
00:03:17.000 Okay.
00:03:18.000 But now they're kind of reigniting their mission and their purpose as the Russian-Ukrainian war is ongoing.
00:03:26.000 On the NATO website, they say NATO condemns Russia's war against Ukraine in the strongest terms.
00:03:30.000 Our alliance remains steadfast.
00:03:32.000 Now they want to include Ukraine in NATO. And remember, I believe it's Article 5, Article 4, Article 5, Article 5, which says an attack on one is an attack on all, which means that an errant missile in a NATO country could involve American troops.
00:03:46.000 Involved in a conflict all the way in Europe.
00:03:49.000 President Trump continued on his America First focused answers.
00:03:53.000 Talking about Mexico and Canada.
00:03:56.000 Play cut 10. We're subsidizing Canada to the tune of over $100 billion a year.
00:04:02.000 We're subsidizing Mexico for almost $300 billion.
00:04:07.000 We shouldn't be subsidizing.
00:04:08.000 Why are we subsidizing these countries?
00:04:10.000 If we're going to subsidize them, let them become a state.
00:04:13.000 We're subsidizing Mexico, and we're subsidizing Canada, and we're subsidizing many countries all over the world.
00:04:19.000 And all I want to do is I want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field.
00:04:25.000 And understand, when it comes to how we deal with Mexico and Canada, this is an idea that even Ross Perot ran on in the early 1990s.
00:04:35.000 Now, Donald Trump wants trade that has reciprocity.
00:04:39.000 When you are not able to import certain products into other countries, and they're able to dump their products, specifically with China, less to an extent of Canada and Mexico, definitionally, You are not able to then have American industry.
00:04:53.000 Our country cannot only be real estate and hedge funds.
00:04:57.000 You need to make stuff.
00:04:59.000 You need to have a muscular class that is able to be productive.
00:05:03.000 Joining us now On this topic and many others is a great man, Jason Whitlock, host of Fearless with Jason Whitlock.
00:05:11.000 Jason, welcome to the program.
00:05:13.000 Jason, I'm going to talk about a different topic, actually, one that is far more important than Syria, far more important than trade.
00:05:20.000 It's the 12-team college football playoff.
00:05:23.000 And so, is the 12-team playoff ruining college football or is it saving college football?
00:05:29.000 Well, you're talking to someone who's always been against the playoff system.
00:05:35.000 Always.
00:05:36.000 So even when there was just four teams and two teams or whatever, I was always like, hey, college football is not broken.
00:05:43.000 It's a unique system.
00:05:46.000 That the regular season is the most meaningful and impactful in all of sports.
00:05:50.000 And so you're talking to someone that has a pretty clear-cut position.
00:05:55.000 I'm not a fan of the 12-team playoff.
00:05:58.000 I did enjoy this past weekend, the conference championships.
00:06:02.000 Thought those games were amazing.
00:06:05.000 And, you know, so I somewhat enjoyed what transpired this weekend in terms of people's, in terms of teams getting into the playoffs or whatever.
00:06:15.000 When you're down to debating who's number 12, it's really not much of a debate.
00:06:20.000 I think Oregon is the best team, and I think maybe Georgia, maybe Tennessee, maybe Texas are on their level, but Oregon is clearly the best team in college football, and I don't need a playoff to confirm what my eyes have seen.
00:06:39.000 Well, you're going to find no disagreement here on this program, as I'm a big Ducks fan.
00:06:43.000 My dad, my uncle, my aunt all went to University of Oregon.
00:06:46.000 I grew up a big Ducks fan.
00:06:47.000 However, in this new 12-team configuration, it seems as if Oregon has the hardest path in this bracket than even the teams that they beat.
00:06:56.000 Boise State, who they beat, and Penn State, who they beat, has an easier path.
00:07:00.000 How did that happen?
00:07:01.000 What does it even mean to be the number one seed anymore in the college football playoff?
00:07:05.000 It means if there's a possibility of screwing something up, the NCAA, college athletics will take advantage of that opportunity.
00:07:14.000 They should have been able to see this coming, that there's no way Oregon should be facing a more difficult task than Penn State.
00:07:25.000 Georgia is facing a more difficult path.
00:07:29.000 It's stupid.
00:07:30.000 They've screwed this up.
00:07:32.000 They'll correct it next year.
00:07:33.000 I like the way Dan Lanning, the Oregon coach, handled it, though.
00:07:37.000 Instead of whining and complaining, he said, hey, it's a great challenge.
00:07:40.000 We're playing for a national championship, and we're not going to duck any challenges, so we're good to go.
00:07:46.000 He's got the right mindset.
00:07:47.000 I think they'll survive the struggle, but it is...
00:07:53.000 Just one of those oversights.
00:07:55.000 They overlooked an opportunity to get this thing right coming out the gate.
00:07:58.000 I do have one more question on the college football thing, because it actually has a legislative and a policy angle.
00:08:04.000 There is going to be a very big push this spring.
00:08:07.000 Probably Nick Saban will end up being the kind of consensus figurehead to fix NIL. Does it need to be fixed, Jason?
00:08:16.000 If so, how can we even think about this or approach this?
00:08:19.000 Yeah, it needs to be fixed, but the solutions that I used to talk about 25, 30 years ago no longer apply because I used to want to attach, hey, like, there's a handful of athletes You know, let's say 300 in major college football, 75 or so guys in major college basketball that need to be paid.
00:08:46.000 And now we're paying everybody and it's just, you know, it's professional sports now and everybody's the wild, wild west.
00:08:54.000 But my solutions used to be attached to making sure that these guys graduated and And paying them at the end of their college careers upon graduation.
00:09:06.000 Now, in my mindset now, where I pretty much hate all these universities and colleges, I'm not sure forcing these guys to be educated or indoctrinated at a college is actually the right incentive.
00:09:21.000 But yeah, there has to be some sort of salary cap or some sort of Some sort of fairness introduced rather than, was it Larry Ellison and Dave Portnoy that just bought Michigan's next quarterback, Bryce Underwood?
00:09:40.000 I'm just not sure if that's a sustainable structure.
00:09:44.000 Yeah, and just again, there needs to be something Still authentic and non-commercialized.
00:09:52.000 It is so clear what the committee did here.
00:09:55.000 They knew what they were doing.
00:09:57.000 They wanted a ratings Rose Bowl of Ducks versus Bucks.
00:10:01.000 That's what they wanted.
00:10:03.000 They wanted an Oregon Ohio State Rose Bowl because all these other matchups are a little goofy like SMU and not exactly that will draw the eyeballs.
00:10:11.000 So they wanted a beautiful Rose Bowl at 5 p.m.
00:10:14.000 Eastern on New Year's Day.
00:10:15.000 I think it's all rigged.
00:10:16.000 However, it's okay.
00:10:17.000 That'll be the mini national championship.
00:10:19.000 It's like a national championship play-in for the right to play Arizona State or whomever.
00:10:25.000 Are you ready to lose weight but not sure where to start?
00:10:26.000 I understand.
00:10:27.000 I was right where you are two years ago.
00:10:29.000 Let me tell you why I chose the PhD weight loss and nutrition program.
00:10:32.000 First, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.
00:10:36.000 Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.
00:10:39.000 Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition.
00:10:41.000 There is so much more.
00:10:42.000 They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind and they work on eliminating the reason you gain this weight in the first place.
00:10:47.000 There's no shortcuts, pills, or injections, just solid science-based nutrition and behavior change.
00:10:52.000 And finally, a probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds.
00:10:54.000 Look, they're amazing.
00:10:55.000 If you want to lose weight, you've got to go to myphdweightloss.com.
00:10:58.000 I was just texting with Dr. Ash Lucas today.
00:11:00.000 If you're ready to lose weight for the last time, call 864-644-1900.
00:11:04.000 Go online at myphdweightloss.com.
00:11:07.000 Do what I did and what hundreds of my listeners have done and call today, 864-644-1900.
00:11:13.000 I recommend their program.
00:11:14.000 Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.
00:11:18.000 Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.
00:11:21.000 Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition, but it's so much more.
00:11:24.000 Go to myphdweightloss.com, myphdweightloss.com.
00:11:28.000 Call 864-644-1900.
00:11:30.000 I lost over 30 pounds.
00:11:32.000 Dr. Ashley Lucas, great American.
00:11:33.000 Check it out, myphdweightloss.com.
00:11:37.000 All right, so there is this story that broke late last night.
00:11:42.000 Of Jay-Z, who is named in a civil lawsuit by Tony Busby, who's a serious lawyer, who also defended Ken Paxton in his impeachment trial.
00:11:52.000 And then Jay-Z issued this crazy statement on X. Usually I don't cover any of this celebrity news, but Jason, look, I make a habit out of intentionally trying to know as little as possible about random celebrities.
00:12:04.000 So tell me about this, Jason, and educate me alongside the audience.
00:12:09.000 Well, Charlie, this issue is actually very important.
00:12:13.000 What has gone on in the music industry and particularly in commercial hip-hop, it's the It's a partner of Epstein Island.
00:12:27.000 It's the partner of sexually compromising certain influencers and celebrities and having dirt on them so that you can control them.
00:12:40.000 There's no mystery why everybody in the music industry, everybody in Hollywood, all support the same political party and the same ideology.
00:12:50.000 It's because they're controlled.
00:12:52.000 They don't have their freedom.
00:12:53.000 And so for Jay-Z to be linked to the malfeasance, the criminality, the immorality of Sean Diddy Combs, I think is very, very important.
00:13:06.000 I've never liked Jay-Z. I've never liked his music or I've never supported his music.
00:13:13.000 There's all of this attachment to the occult laced within Jay-Z's music.
00:13:20.000 And so I'm thrilled to see Jay-Z get exposed.
00:13:25.000 I'm thrilled to see Diddy get exposed.
00:13:28.000 Diddy had this whole vote or die in support of the Democrat Party.
00:13:34.000 These guys need to be exposed.
00:13:37.000 Their music is a part of a promotion of a nihilistic mindset.
00:13:44.000 That fuels child sacrifice, child abuse.
00:13:49.000 This is what's going on and what's being exposed in the music industry and throughout Hollywood speaks to our overall cultural decay.
00:13:58.000 It speaks to how do you get a country in the mindset where a political platform is based on the abortion of children?
00:14:09.000 How do you get a country in a mindset where that's even a possibility that the number one focus of your political movement is, hey, we've got to be able to kill babies when and whenever we want. 0.96
00:14:21.000 You do it by bathing the culture in a nihilistic mindset.
00:14:26.000 And the music that Jay-Z and Diddy and hip-hop produced, it all promotes, supports, puts people in a nihilistic mindset.
00:14:35.000 And so...
00:14:38.000 I think this is vital.
00:14:40.000 I think this is the kind of stuff that I hope Cash Patel and anybody else involved in law enforcement, the Department of Justice, we need to be looking into this.
00:14:52.000 How did American culture get so rotten that One half of the country thinks killing babies is a constitutional right and the key to their freedom.
00:15:04.000 This stuff is all connected.
00:15:06.000 And so Jay-Z has been linked to in a lawsuit where he's accused of participating in the rape of a 13-year-old girl.
00:15:17.000 And Jay-Z's put out a statement threatening the lawyer that's helping the young lady with this lawsuit or whatever.
00:15:25.000 It does not surprise me that Jay-Z would be linked to this.
00:15:31.000 If you listen to his music, if you listen to the visual symbols that he associated with his music and his music videos, this is exactly the type of behavior that he would be involved in and it needs to be exposed.
00:15:48.000 And this is a serious lawyer by the name of Tony Busby, who accuses, I mean, just this unspeakable crime in a civil lawsuit, mind you.
00:15:56.000 Any other details about a minute, half a minute remaining here, Jason, that are important in this lawsuit?
00:16:02.000 I believe Busby is the lawyer that represented Deshaun Watson, Deshaun Watson accusers, the NFL quarterback that had 25, 30 massage therapists come after him.
00:16:17.000 And so his reputation is pretty well established in the Houston area.
00:16:23.000 He's pretty successful.
00:16:24.000 He has not backed down.
00:16:25.000 Jay-Z put out a statement last night about how honorable he is and how You know, he doesn't understand.
00:16:32.000 He's threatening Tony Busby.
00:16:34.000 You don't understand where I come from.
00:16:36.000 And it's all laughable to me.
00:16:38.000 Jay-Z has bragged for years about being a drug dealer, and now he wants to talk about how honorable he is and how there was a code where he grew up where we protected kids.
00:16:47.000 I'm like, really?
00:16:48.000 By poisoning their parents?
00:16:50.000 By selling drugs throughout the community?
00:16:52.000 That's how you protected kids?
00:16:56.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:16:57.000 If you ever had a doubt that there's a war on the unborn, you now know beyond a doubt that is the case. 1.00
00:17:01.000 It'd be easy to give up, but you know I'll never give up on giving the truth to girls and women who the other side want to choose death for their baby.
00:17:07.000 I'm standing for life no matter what the other side says, and we're going to save more babies than ever before to show them that truth will win out.
00:17:14.000 It can only be shared with girls and women who will make the right choice.
00:17:17.000 Preborn provides free ultrasounds to girls and women.
00:17:19.000 It's the truth that they deserve, and it doubles the chance that she'll choose life.

00:17:28.000 $280 can save 10 babies and just $28 a month can save a baby a month for less than $1 a day.
00:17:34.000 Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, join me in saving babies right now.

00:17:44.000 That is a $15,000 gift.
00:17:45.000 We'll provide an ultrasound machine that will save lives for years to come.
00:17:48.000 Go to So Jason, moving on from the ugliness that you accurately described there, I was watching football all weekend the best I could.
00:18:06.000 I mean, we did have a big event, but even people around me, it was the joke.
00:18:11.000 As soon as our big event ended at Mar-a-Lago, I had an iPad of the Big Ten Championship.
00:18:15.000 You can't get away with it, right?
00:18:16.000 You're raised with it.
00:18:17.000 It's very cathartic for me, kind of a way to kind of relax.
00:18:21.000 And I was looking at these clips, too, of people sending me.
00:18:23.000 There were a lot of vocal testimonies, more so than I've seen in quite some time.
00:18:29.000 Talking about their faith in Jesus.
00:18:31.000 This one in particular, of this awesome coach, only lost to Oregon, mind you, of Boise State University.
00:18:37.000 Keep your eyes on Boise State.
00:18:39.000 Just amazing.
00:18:40.000 Talking about how he baptized Ashen Gentty, who should win the Heisman, in my opinion.
00:18:44.000 Just phenomenal.
00:18:45.000 Let's play cut 17. Thank you, Jesus.
00:18:48.000 I mean, Jesus deserves all the glory.
00:18:56.000 I mean, we serve a champion.
00:18:57.000 He died on the cross, but he rose again three days later.
00:19:00.000 That's the God I serve, man.
00:19:01.000 Everything's possible.
00:19:02.000 And our players, they don't run from hard work.
00:19:05.000 They just keep swinging, keep swinging, keep swinging.
00:19:08.000 That's uncommon.
00:19:09.000 They deserve the credit.
00:19:10.000 Jesus deserves the credit.
00:19:11.000 Jason, I don't know if we would have saw that five years ago on network TV. Yeah, we would have seen a, hey, I just want to thank God and then keep it moving.
00:19:24.000 But I think people now are being far more specific and far more bold in their proclamations.
00:19:34.000 And it's a reflection of the time we're living in, Charlie.
00:19:38.000 When you have this level of wickedness in the culture, And people are seeing this and like, man, there's a lot of celebrities that seem to be endorsing this.
00:19:50.000 There are people that are trying to make it clear.
00:19:54.000 I'm not with that.
00:19:55.000 And the best way to make it clear to say you're not with those people is to let everybody know who you are actually with.
00:20:04.000 And it's Jesus Christ.
00:20:05.000 And so that's why I'm thankful.
00:20:09.000 For the level of wickedness that's out in the open and people are doing because it's forcing those of us that are believers to stand more boldly and to quit apologizing about our Christian faith.
00:20:23.000 We've been closeted And now to see so many people boldly coming out of the closet about their faith and serving Jesus Christ.
00:20:34.000 I've got a good friend that's on the coaching staff at Boise State.
00:20:39.000 He's one of their defensive coordinators.
00:20:41.000 He's told me about the culture that they've established here at Boise State and just how Much they lean into their faith.
00:20:50.000 And it's why they've achieved so much.
00:20:53.000 It's why Ashton Gentry has achieved so much.
00:20:57.000 I think a lot of people in sports, from Harrison Bucker to just a lot of people, are making it crystal clear.
00:21:04.000 You're seeing more after-game and pre-game prayers on the field publicly.
00:21:10.000 It's like, man, Tim Tebow was ahead of his time.
00:21:13.000 If he was right here, if he was here now, he would be celebrated rather than vilified.
00:21:18.000 Yeah, and let's try to kind of connect the dots of what happened in the election and then what was happening here with just the more, let's just say, permission for people to say their private opinions and not be intimidated to do so.
00:21:33.000 Was the election kind of a societal-wide permission slip that it's okay maybe to hold opinions that otherwise people would find to be, let's just say, verboten?
00:21:47.000 The election process, I would say, and the assassination attempt on President Trump was the real permission slip in my mind, because when you saw that, watched that, you know, man, that's a miracle.
00:22:06.000 This man turned his head at the exact right time.
00:22:09.000 Something is going on here.
00:22:12.000 And to see President Trump start to mature in his faith walk, I think, made people say, well, hold on a minute.
00:22:23.000 This guy is willing to risk his life.
00:22:29.000 And I'm not willing to just publicly state who I stand with and what my faith is.
00:22:36.000 You've got to be a pretty weak man to watch a 78-year-old risk his life.
00:22:42.000 And then you're not willing to just say, hey, I'm with Jesus Christ.
00:22:47.000 And so I think that was the...
00:22:51.000 Permission slip and just the energy, the fuel necessary to get men to ante up.
00:22:59.000 As I said last year, throughout all of last year, and I can remember I talked about it at Amerifest, It's like, hey men, we have to quit apologizing for being men.
00:23:12.000 We have to quit apologizing for our beliefs.
00:23:14.000 We have to move past being afraid that we're going to be called an Uncle Tom or we're going to be called a racist or we're going to be called homophobic.
00:23:24.000 We have to move past all that.
00:23:26.000 And stand on some values and some convictions and to speak them boldly and deal with the consequences.
00:23:34.000 And like, holy cow, here we are a year later and everybody's doing this.
00:23:38.000 It's kind of like the Trump dance.
00:23:41.000 And so what a time to be alive.
00:23:43.000 I didn't know that it would happen this quickly, but it has.
00:23:48.000 On top of that, I have a question about, we're seeing some corporations and institutions retreat from diversity, equity, inclusion, and wokeism.
00:23:57.000 Is that connected, Jason?
00:23:59.000 No question about it.
00:24:01.000 We can have so much impact if we just stood our ground.
00:24:06.000 This fight, these people are cowards.
00:24:10.000 I mean, the opposition are actual cowards.
00:24:15.000 And all we have to do is stand up and say, nah, we're not doing that.
00:24:20.000 And so right here in Tennessee, you know our guy Robbie Starbuck.
00:24:25.000 He's been a little one-man army, going after these corporations and companies.
00:24:31.000 And again, great guy.
00:24:34.000 Robbie's had success in Hollywood, but he's just sitting here in Nashville, Tennessee, going after these corporations, and they're folding instantly.
00:24:42.000 And so it's like The Wizard of Oz when you look behind the curtain and find out, well, man, that's a little punk.
00:24:50.000 That's what these guys are.
00:24:53.000 Thank God for Elon Musk buying X or buying Twitter and turning it into X. We have now, and again, that's why I say this election process, because it ended up sweeping up Elon Musk and giving him more courage and giving him the energy or the resolve to make a $44 billion bet on free speech.
00:25:17.000 Holy cow. 0.89
00:25:19.000 That's God.
00:25:20.000 And I'm not even calling Elon Musk a religious or spiritual figure.
00:25:25.000 I don't know where he is with his faithful, but I know that God uses people to get things done that he wants done.
00:25:32.000 And he's clearly being used, no different than President Trump is being used, to make sure that we have free speech so we can have freedom of religion.
00:25:42.000 It's been wonderful to see, again, President Trump, yourself, Robbie Starbuck, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, all these people stand up and now to see other people falling and to see these corporations falling like dominoes because, you know, we have finally said enough is enough.
00:26:06.000 You make a really important point there that I want to emphasize.
00:26:09.000 I believe that when Elon Musk purchased Twitter, it was the most significant purchase since the Louisiana Purchase, and it was met with mockery and slander.
00:26:17.000 However, if you really think about it, what purchase actually comes close to it?
00:26:20.000 Jason, can you help build out that argument and strengthen it?
00:26:24.000 If we could look at a place in time, the conservative movement was largely in the wilderness.
00:26:29.000 We were really directionless and we were trying to figure out where we're going.
00:26:33.000 President Trump, of course, was still a leader of the movement, was under siege and attack and was put in exile in the law fair.
00:26:39.000 And then all of a sudden things changed when Elon bought Twitter and changed it.
00:26:44.000 Do you agree with that?
00:26:45.000 There's no question about it.
00:26:49.000 Listen, when Donald Trump started talking about fake news, fake news, fake news, fake news, I don't think Donald Trump fully understood what was the foundation of fake news.
00:27:03.000 And it was Twitter.
00:27:05.000 Twitter was where all the lies got confirmed.
00:27:08.000 And so if you wanted to write in the Washington Post, go on CNN or MSNBC and say, oh boy, the police, they're just out indiscriminately killing unarmed black men as they help old ladies across the street.
00:27:26.000 You would then go to Twitter and see a bunch of tweets saying, yeah, you're right.
00:27:30.000 The police are just, they're killing black men every single day that are helping old women across the street.
00:27:36.000 And then the newspapers would then quote, well, on Twitter, this lie was confirmed or this lie was said, and it must be the truth.
00:27:45.000 And once Elon came in and said, nah, I'm going to take over Twitter.
00:27:52.000 I'm going to make these algorithms fair or eliminate these algorithms.
00:27:58.000 You could no longer confirm lies on social media.
00:28:04.000 And Twitter's not as popular as Facebook or Instagram or probably even TikTok, but I always recognized that it was the most powerful It was because all the media is there, all the influencers are there, everybody that's on TV and involved in that system of control, they're all on Twitter.
00:28:27.000 And so if you could get them all saying the same lie, it would be believed and would be accepted as truth.
00:28:35.000 And so, you know, you used to be able to go on Twitter and just say, well, that person over there with batting balls is a woman. 1.00
00:28:43.000 And people on Twitter were confirming, yeah, you're right.
00:28:47.000 A woman is just a feeling. 1.00
00:28:49.000 It's not XX chromosomes.
00:28:50.000 It's a feeling.
00:28:52.000 And if a man with XY and bat and balls says he's a woman, yes, we must all go along with his cosplay. 0.91
00:29:00.000 We must all confirm his mental illness. 0.71
00:29:03.000 And so there's been virtually nothing happening.
00:29:07.000 As transformative as Mr. Musk purchasing Twitter, turning it into X, making it more fair and a place where truth and a true public debate can be had.
00:29:23.000 Yes, it's Elon Musk and Donald Trump branding it as fake news and Elon Musk getting swept up in Trump.
00:29:33.000 Trump's story and purchasing Twitter, it's saved America.
00:29:40.000 It's made it possible for guys like me and you to exist.
00:29:45.000 Wonderfully said.
00:29:47.000 And yes, Twitter has always been the incubator of elite opinion.

00:30:56.000 Jason, this last election saw record gains for the Republican Party with men, but not men necessarily of any specific race.
00:31:03.000 All men moved in that direction. 0.93
00:31:05.000 Black men, Hispanic men.
00:31:07.000 Why did this happen and do you see it continuing?
00:31:11.000 Well, it happened because Anytime you deny people masculinity, you make it scarce, you make it more valuable, you make it more attractive.
00:31:24.000 And so I think many men have come into the understanding that we're in a battle of dominion and leadership and, like, Who's going to actually lead?
00:31:41.000 Are we going to give in to the matriarchy or are we going to continue the patriarchy? 1.00
00:31:47.000 And I think many men have come into the understanding that we have nothing to apologize for as men.
00:31:55.000 The history makes sense.
00:32:00.000 The things that were established in the workforce were a product of necessity.
00:32:09.000 Not of, hey, we're going to be sexist, and so we're going to go out here and blow up mountains to pave a road through the West.
00:32:20.000 Women weren't saying, hey, I should be doing that. 1.00
00:32:23.000 Men were doing that. 0.99
00:32:25.000 Men were climbing up on top of skyscrapers and building these buildings.
00:32:29.000 They were roughnecks and many of them fell to their death or got injured.
00:32:32.000 Women weren't saying, hey, I want to do that. 1.00
00:32:35.000 Women weren't saying, you know what? 1.00
00:32:38.000 You guys are fighting with the Indians. 1.00
00:32:41.000 I should be doing that.
00:32:44.000 Technology has fooled everybody into believing that women can do what Men have done. 0.99
00:32:51.000 And so now that we all have DoorDash and no one actually has to go out and hunt if they don't want to, we've convinced ourselves that, you know what, man, if things have been right, Women would have invented air flight.
00:33:08.000 It would have been the right sisters, not the right brothers.
00:33:12.000 And it's just not true.
00:33:14.000 Men, by nature, value freedom more than safety.
00:33:20.000 Women, by nature, value safety more than freedom. 1.00
00:33:24.000 We have a country that's built on freedom, and it's going to take men to protect that.
00:33:31.000 And so I just think people have come into a full understanding of how we got here, that we keep softening things and leaning more into feelings.
00:33:43.000 Well, if you feel like a woman, I'm going to have to ignore your batting balls That's something that only a feminized culture would buy into, that, you know, feelings control everything. 1.00
00:33:58.000 At some point, data, logic, Truth, facts.
00:34:04.000 And again, this isn't me taking a dump on women because, you know, love to death, can't live without them. 1.00
00:34:11.000 They play a super, super valuable role in society, but they are a bit more controlled by their feelings than men, and that's harmful to a culture.
00:34:24.000 And so when you sit there and say, well...
00:34:28.000 If all these illegal immigrants want to come through the border, you know, I can... 1.00
00:34:35.000 Well, as a man, I'm like, no, man, we got to draw a line in the sand.
00:34:39.000 There has to be rules to this house.
00:34:41.000 Not everybody can just walk up into this house and claim that they're part owners of it.
00:34:47.000 There's just tough things that men are going to have to do, and hopefully we're in the process of doing them.
00:34:54.000 And Donald Trump has so represented true male masculinity.
00:35:00.000 And yes, I wish that he spoke a little better sometimes, but not really.
00:35:08.000 The man got shot in the face, stood up and said, fight, fight, fight.
00:35:14.000 If you can't get behind that as a man, I feel sorry for you.
00:35:19.000 And so I'll go back to the assassination attempt.
00:35:22.000 It just kind of showed you who the real man was.
00:35:25.000 And it exposed the Democrats and just how weak and emasculated and In my view, violent, irrationally violent that they are.
00:35:39.000 And so I'm not surprised.
00:35:42.000 And I do think the trend will continue as long as we don't get too intoxicated with our victory on November 5th and actually continue to do the work.
00:35:54.000 Jason, thank you so much.
00:35:55.000 Excellent commentary as always.
00:35:57.000 Host of Fearless, thank you so much.
