00:00:34.000 We go.
00:00:35.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:37.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:39.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:42.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:46.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:47.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:48.000 His spirit is love of this country.
00:00:49.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:56.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:05.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:07.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:01:13.000 Go to andrewandodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.
00:01:20.000 We as conservatives are repulsed by identity politics, and we should be.
00:01:26.000 The politics of trying to put people in different categories based on their skin color is not something that we appreciate or something that we support.
00:01:36.000 Now, identity politics is rooted in the idea of trying to, let's just say, use a word that came in the 1990s, balkanize the American political, the American political landscape.
00:01:50.000 However, there is one part of kind of segmenting of politics, if you will, or the country that I think is very helpful, and that is to look at things generationally.
00:02:00.000 Instead of looking at things based on skin color, I think looking at political dynamics based on age is far more helpful.
00:02:08.000 While I do believe there are differences between men and women, I do not believe there are differences between white people and black people.
00:02:14.000 I don't.
00:02:14.000 I do not believe in racial differences, and people who do, we have words for them.
00:02:19.000 Racists, like Nicole Hanna-Jones, or like Robin DiAngelo, or Ibram X. Kendi.
00:02:24.000 But I do believe that there's big differences in experiences and, let's say, things that people have to live through in generational dynamics.
00:02:36.000 So typically, the younger the voter, the more Democrat and the more liberal they are.
00:02:41.000 They tend to be more idealistic, utopian, less rooted to the tragedy of life.
00:02:46.000 And not all life is a tragedy, but life can be tough.
00:02:49.000 The first Buddhist principle is life is suffering.
00:02:52.000 I don't quite believe that, to be perfectly honest.
00:02:54.000 Life can be full of suffering, but it also can be beautiful and full of joy and love and prosperity.
00:03:01.000 Generational dynamics, for me, are the most helpful and interesting to look at.
00:03:07.000 And so when we look at Joe Biden's approval rating and we look at who actually is driving the decline of Joe Biden's approval, it's remarkable when we learn that it's younger voters in particular that disapprove of Joe Biden the most.
00:03:25.000 Vox.com, which is a communist rag, writes, quote, Joe Biden's young voter problem.
00:03:34.000 Quote, Joe Biden has a younger voter problem.
00:03:37.000 If you look at about any poll from last year, the president's support amongst younger voters ages 18 to 34 has dropped significantly.
00:03:45.000 The decline is worst amongst younger voters of color.
00:03:50.000 And the drop isn't that surprising.
00:03:51.000 Young Americans never really loved Biden, and they think he's broken his campaign pledges.
00:03:57.000 The youngest of these voters came of a political age, isolated away from schools, friends, uncertain of their jobs, school prospects, and unsure of whom to trust.
00:04:07.000 It says here that according to Gallup survey, nearly 60% of voters approved of Joe Biden at his inauguration.
00:04:18.000 And now that is down to less than 40%, according to the Gallup poll, a 23-point plunge, 37% actually, approval rating, and that's high.
00:04:30.000 It's actually 21% according to a Quinny Piak poll.
00:04:33.000 So why is this?
00:04:34.000 Does this mean that they're all becoming radical right-wingers?
00:04:36.000 Well, some of them are, but not a lot.
00:04:39.000 And by radical, I mean that sarcastically.
00:04:42.000 No, instead, there's a couple of segments here.
00:04:47.000 Number one, they say that some voters want Biden to be more progressive.
00:04:52.000 I think that might be true.
00:04:53.000 Number two, the economy is not great and younger voters blame Biden.
00:04:56.000 That's totally right.
00:04:58.000 Things are expensive right now.
00:04:59.000 Voters ages 18 to 34 are getting poorer every single month.
00:05:03.000 Prices are going up.
00:05:04.000 It's difficult to live in a major metropolitan area.
00:05:07.000 Phoenix and Dallas and Atlanta, inflation is anywhere between 20 to 25 percent, which actually doesn't hurt older people as much.
00:05:14.000 If you own a home, inflation actually is somewhat good for you.
00:05:17.000 Your debt liability or your debt that you own your home, your mortgage technically stays the same, but it decreases if there are more dollar bills in the economy because everyone has more dollar bills.
00:05:28.000 And so even though your debt is fixed, the amount of dollar bills is fluid.
00:05:33.000 Therefore, the dollar bill to debt ratio goes in your favor.
00:05:38.000 But most 18 to 34-year-olds don't own property.
00:05:40.000 They can't afford a down payment, and certainly not right now, with the skyrocketing price of housing across America, not to mention student loan debt, where young people borrowed money they did not have to study things that did not matter, to go find jobs that do not exist.
00:05:56.000 But they do have a piece of paper showing that they studied 13th century queer poetry, which I hear is all the rage right now at Brown University, 13th century queer poetry.
00:06:09.000 Very compelling stuff.
00:06:12.000 And there is this general feeling of generational disgust.
00:06:19.000 They know that something is not right, and they're not exactly sure who to blame.
00:06:26.000 They're not exactly sure who to pinpoint for their suffering, but they know that Biden is a good start.
00:06:34.000 It says here, quote, the current inflationary spike is the first time many millennials and Gen Zers are confronting this kind of economy.
00:06:41.000 Coupled with rising rent, debt, and ultra-hot housing markets in the country's 20 largest metropolitan areas, the current affordability crisis is hitting young people especially hard.
00:06:50.000 In part due to the last recession, millennials were already a lost generation financially.
00:06:55.000 And Generation Z, both graduating into a recession and dealing with the pandemic economy, saw higher rates of job instability, causing them to dip into their savings more than older generations.
00:07:06.000 It says, quote, when the economy roared back in 2021, which it didn't, it was a fake roarback.
00:07:11.000 Many young people felt a respite.
00:07:11.000 We know that.
00:07:14.000 Their purchasing power increased and their spending rose as well.
00:07:16.000 But inflation and dissatisfaction with capitalism caught up.
00:07:20.000 Vox, they pinpoint this.
00:07:20.000 Now, this is important.
00:07:23.000 If Republicans do not seize this opportunity with younger voters, this will be the most radical socialist generation in history.
00:07:31.000 Just wait until a socialist starts to run for office and stops talking about pregnant men and talking about transgender curriculum for five-year-olds.
00:07:40.000 If a Democrat socialist actually ran on class instead of race or these kind of trans woke issues, it would resonate in a way that most Republicans would not know how to process it.
00:07:57.000 Christina Tinzutin Ramirez says, quote, they have real economic anxiety and pain at this moment.
00:08:04.000 Many young people feel worried about the future.
00:08:06.000 Young American adults are the first generation in history to be worse off than their parents.
00:08:10.000 It's generational theft.
00:08:12.000 And we warned that the lockdowns were generational theft, older voters that were robbing the future of young people.
00:08:19.000 We've said that all along.
00:08:20.000 We've come under great criticism from older voters who say they did nothing wrong, that say the lockdowns were wonderful.
00:08:26.000 And of course they weren't.
00:08:29.000 We've come under great criticism by calling the $7 trillion credit out of thin air, robbing future generations to try to inflate stock and commodity and security prices.
00:08:40.000 And so this generation is now inheriting the multi-decades of the same sort of generational theft, of borrowing money we do not have, of printing money that does not exist, that's not rooted in any sort of value or wealth, locking down an economy to do what?
00:08:56.000 The lockdowns served zero meaningful civilizational or epidemiological purpose.
00:09:01.000 Every study now shows that.
00:09:03.000 We were against the lockdowns from the very beginning.
00:09:06.000 Mask mandates did nothing but made a generation more afraid, suicidal, depressed, anxious, and less self-confident.
00:09:14.000 Vaccine mandates did nothing, made an entire generation more likely to submit to a pharmaceutical industrial complex.
00:09:23.000 And now this generation is rebelling against Biden, but where are the Republicans?
00:09:31.000 Hey, everybody, towels just don't seem to dry you anymore.
00:09:34.000 They feel soft and lotiony in stores, but you get them home and they don't absorb.
00:09:38.000 Well, Mike Lundell at MyPillow found out that around 2006, towels changed forever.
00:09:42.000 They started importing them and adding softeners and other things to the cotton that made them feel good, but they didn't work.
00:09:48.000 He found the best towel company right here in America.
00:09:50.000 They have proprietary technology to create towels that feel soft but actually work.
00:09:54.000 They are all made with USA cotton and they come with a MyPillow 60-day money-back guarantee.
00:09:59.000 It's a six-piece set, two baths, two hand towels, two washcloths made with USA cotton.
00:10:03.000 They're soft yet absorbent.
00:10:05.000 Regularly, $100,999, not $39.99.

00:10:27.000 The Vox article continues by saying they also have a eroded trust in government.
00:10:34.000 This I totally support.
00:10:35.000 Young people not trusting the government.
00:10:37.000 This is always my favorite one-liner when I went to these campuses.
00:10:40.000 I did this for years.
00:10:42.000 In 17, 18, we still go to campuses, but this was when the country was in a much different place.
00:10:48.000 We were in a much more stable position, in particular in 17 and 18.
00:10:52.000 Booming economy, border was largely under control.
00:10:56.000 Putin wasn't invading Ukraine.
00:10:58.000 Inflation wasn't double digits.
00:11:01.000 Inflation was a non-issue.
00:11:02.000 The country was a lot more stable, even though it didn't feel that way at times, looking back at it.
00:11:07.000 And so I used to go to these campuses, like Cleveland State University was kind of one of the most famous ones where I got protested nonstop by all these socialistic apparatchiks.
00:11:18.000 And it's just a very simple question that you need to ask.
00:11:21.000 Okay, do you trust the government, young socialist?
00:11:25.000 No!
00:11:27.000 Then why do you want to make the government bigger?
00:11:29.000 I don't.
00:11:30.000 Wait, you don't?
00:11:33.000 And their entire worldview comes crumbling down in that moment.
00:11:39.000 It says here, quote, two years into the pandemic, no one knows exactly what's happening.
00:11:44.000 Our case is up.
00:11:45.000 It might depend on where you live.
00:11:46.000 But even the way the government tracks risk and reality has changed.
00:11:49.000 You hear that?
00:11:50.000 Vox.com is now saying that the government has a reporting problem.
00:11:53.000 I would be banned from social media for saying such a thing two years ago.
00:11:58.000 Now Vox says it just kind of haphazardly.
00:12:00.000 Biden has suggested that Americans learn to live with the coronavirus, even as cases once again begin to rise.
00:12:06.000 But prematurely declared a summer of freedom, getting out ahead of the CDC on boosters and telling people masking up is now up to them.
00:12:14.000 He muddled the image of a unified government approach.
00:12:16.000 So the Vox.com is so wrong.
00:12:17.000 They think that young people don't like Biden because he's not hawkish enough on COVID, right?
00:12:24.000 It says, quote, the pandemic chaos helped fuel a historic jump in young voters' participation in electoral politics with record numbers of young people voting out to turn against Donald Trump, largely because of mail-in ballots being sent to their home so they could just fill it out and have some pick it up or whatever and put it into a zucker box.
00:12:43.000 But things went downhill around the time Biden promised Americans would be able to declare victory by the 2021 4th of July.
00:12:50.000 It says, quote, the vibes are off with Joe Biden.
00:12:54.000 We kept being told that something better is coming, Rahel Hali, the executive director of Minnesota's Youth Collective, told me.
00:13:00.000 With Joe Biden, it was, oh, this is going to be better than Trump, and the approach is the lesser of two evils.
00:13:04.000 And people are dissatisfied.
00:13:06.000 With that, we want a leader that can actually change things and actually think about the precariousness of the future of a young person's life.
00:13:12.000 Yeah, I mean, you think that Bernie Sanders is radical.
00:13:14.000 They are going to draft a candidate that will make Bernie Sanders look like a moderate.
00:13:20.000 And Republicans, what do you have to do about this?
00:13:22.000 And we've talked about this for a while.
00:13:23.000 Republicans should talk about a national recovery program. 0.55
00:13:28.000 A national recovery program that makes it easier for young people to own property, get married, and have children.
00:13:32.000 If we do not fix those three things, this generation will go from hating Biden to loving legitimately radical Marxism.
00:13:40.000 It will happen like that.
00:13:41.000 And so the preconditions for a Marxist or a socialist political movement are when people don't own anything, they're not married in large numbers, and they're not having children.
00:13:54.000 Now, one of the reasons why people do not have children in this country is it's too expensive.
00:13:58.000 It's expensive to have kids.
00:14:00.000 It takes 53 weeks of work a year.
00:14:03.000 You're like, well, there's only 52 weeks.
00:14:05.000 I know.
00:14:05.000 That means you have to go into debt to support a family of four in America.
00:14:09.000 It used to be 35 weeks of work.
00:14:11.000 Productivity is going up, yet American wages are not going up alongside of it.
00:14:16.000 And if you ask kind of most corporate Republicans, they think everything's perfectly fine.
00:14:20.000 Well, of course it isn't.
00:14:21.000 Now, one thing I will agree with corporate Republicans on is the creation of $7 trillion out of thin air was wrong and unnecessary.
00:14:28.000 However, every Republican that was present voted for the COVID relief bill.
00:14:34.000 Every single Republican.
00:14:38.000 And if you go back to our podcast archives two years ago, I believe we were the only program, right, Andrew?
00:14:44.000 I think the only program, one of the only ones that came out opposed the COVID stimulus bill.
00:14:50.000 We were one of the only ones.
00:14:51.000 Remember, we said, no stimulus, this is wrong.
00:14:54.000 Day one, we had that.
00:14:57.000 Because we know economics.
00:14:58.000 I got my whole start in kind of actually studying this stuff.
00:15:02.000 And it was like, nope, got to do something.
00:15:03.000 Why do we have to do something exactly?
00:15:05.000 Well, now we're paying the price of the multiple variations of the stimulus bill, creating money out of thin air, paying people to stay home and do nothing, bailing out companies that didn't need it.
00:15:16.000 Instead, opening up the economy, investing in early treatments, not having a spirit or culture of fear would have prevented all of this.
00:15:23.000 And so Republicans need to get serious about addressing these issues or else at some point, Democrats are going to realize there's a political gold mine here.
00:15:33.000 There is a multi-trillion dollar bill sitting right on the sidewalk that one political party or the other can pick up that could capture younger voters for the next couple decades to come.
00:15:44.000 I hope Republicans start listening.
00:15:46.000 Okay, let's get to the end of this article here all about younger voters.
00:15:52.000 They tend not to identify with a political party, identifying with more commonly with social liberal issues like climate action.
00:15:58.000 Yep, most young people have been propagandized to believe the world is ending because of climate change.
00:16:03.000 Marijuana legalization, that's true.
00:16:04.000 A lot of wheat smokers there.
00:16:06.000 And though they're more liberal than older generations, they're still more moderate ideologically than many leaders claim.
00:16:12.000 I agree with that.
00:16:13.000 The student loan debate shows this divide, though the most progressive wing of younger voters back loan forgiveness, about a third of young people still oppose it.
00:16:21.000 There's an opportunity right now for Republicans to capitalize on this political chaos that is happening.
00:16:30.000 Will Republicans do that?
00:16:31.000 I don't know.
00:16:32.000 I'm not confident in the Republican Party to adjust or to be able to adapt, but it certainly is a great opportunity.
00:16:40.000 We're doing our part.
00:16:41.000 We are.
00:16:42.000 And we're going to have some political news next week of, actually, yeah, a week from today, we're going to be announcing something very exciting that the great Tyler Boyer will be running a political operation to hopefully do some very exciting things in our country.
00:16:56.000 We're going to do our part for younger voters in particular.
00:17:00.000 Whether Republicans will do that or just keep talking about corporate taxes, I'm not sure.
00:17:05.000 So if you look carefully, there's a food shortage happening in America.
00:17:12.000 Here's Bob Unanu on Fox saying that we have weaponized food, the CEO of Goya, play cut 42.
00:17:22.000 Good to see you, Maria.
00:17:23.000 We are on the precipice of a global food crisis.
00:17:28.000 God created humanity.
00:17:29.000 Humanity has created every way to destroy itself from nuclear, biological, chemical.
00:17:34.000 But now we've waged a war.
00:17:36.000 We've weaponized food.
00:17:39.000 We have weaponized food.
00:17:41.000 Now, there are growing signs that there will be a food shortage for reasons that are very complex and multifaceted.
00:17:51.000 Cut 43, the CEO of Goya continues.
00:17:56.000 But what I'm really trying to understand is what's going on with the price of food.
00:18:00.000 We're looking at double-digit increases.
00:18:02.000 Food shortage crisis.
00:18:04.000 Are you talking about a food shortage crisis where Americans are not going to have access to food?
00:18:12.000 We're gluttonous.
00:18:13.000 We're going to have to tighten our belt and consume left.
00:18:16.000 Let's, we've gone from oil independence to oil dependence.
00:18:20.000 We've given up that position.
00:18:22.000 Food shortages might be coming, and that might be a good reason to get a stockpile.
00:18:28.000 Okay, let's get to some sound here.
00:18:32.000 What is the 2020 election going to be about?
00:18:35.000 Well, Joe Scarborough has his opinion.
00:18:38.000 Play Cut 65.
00:18:40.000 That tells you a large chunk of the Republican Party right now, a large chunk of the Republican base, are, well, I'm not exactly sure what word you would, I've been using the word fascist for some time, that there is a fascist strain in the Republican Party for at least a third or so of those members.
00:19:05.000 So can you screen grab that and send that to me that they were looking at?
00:19:08.000 I think that's really helpful.
00:19:10.000 So I was dialoguing late last night with a friend of mine from Chicago who I really respect.
00:19:15.000 And I'm going to just kind of read part of our back and forth, the essence of it, which was a really interesting conversation, which is, can we pinpoint what the left is thinking right now?
00:19:28.000 Typically, when it comes to domestic politics or when it comes to what's happening here in America, I'm not always as murky as I am right now.
00:19:37.000 Okay, so just to finish the point on this, though, when things happen domestically, typically I could see things very clearly, but I'm a little bit murky.
00:19:45.000 I'm a little bit unclear on some things, and maybe you guys can help us.
00:19:48.000 Email is freedom at charliekirk.com, help our entire team, and let me explain why, which is what are Democrats thinking right now?
00:19:57.000 I'm a little bit uncertain and confused why the Democrats are accelerating the continuance of what could be called a suicide mission.
00:20:09.000 Either they have a great plan to cheat coming into November, or they figure there's still enough time to ruin the country, or the third option is they're just completely and totally delusional.
00:20:22.000 I've been trying to put myself in their shoes for the last couple of days and weeks, and I'm sure you have as well.
00:20:28.000 The Democrats, I believe, have always been very good at playing chess.
00:20:33.000 When we think we have them dead to rights, COVID comes and mail-in ballot zucker boxes, and the Time magazine article by Molly Ball gets written of the shadow campaign that won the 2020 election.
00:20:47.000 I've been observing some of the Twitter comments and the liberal media comments very closely.
00:20:54.000 And I think that the group think between the left, it's so dense, and the kind of sheltering from all their safe spaces is that they just can't think rationally.
00:21:05.000 Now, this is one theory.
00:21:07.000 It's as if they're having these kind of delusional tendencies and suffering from self-inflicted denial.
00:21:15.000 Now, it really begs the question, like, is the left going through some form of a nervous breakdown of some kind?
00:21:22.000 I mean, there could be very serious psychological underpinnings of this.
00:21:28.000 Now, if the left is able to get kind of another emergency in the fall, that might be their default plan.
00:21:36.000 But I do wonder, which is what are the Democrats thinking internally?
00:21:42.000 And I mean, we can conjecture, we can guess, we can speculate.
00:21:48.000 We do know that we as conservatives are wired to think less about our own kind of narcissistic tendencies and more about the country or the nation as a whole.
00:22:01.000 I'm struggling to kind of find what their game plan is here.
00:22:04.000 Now, if you can find their game plan, then you can better thwart it.
00:22:08.000 Now, one other potential theory is that Democrats believe it's inevitable that the opposition party takes back the House, and you might as well not fight it too hard, win the redistricting, win the infrastructure of it, try to lessen your losses.
00:22:22.000 Republicans are going to win the House.
00:22:24.000 That's just kind of part of the cycle of politics, but we're still going to be in charge of the deep state.
00:22:29.000 We're still going to be in charge of the bureaucracy and kind of accelerating the suicide mission.
00:22:34.000 We might as well accelerate it because no matter what we will do, we're going to lose power in the off-election year of a midterm year after winning the presidency.
00:22:42.000 There might be kind of this acceptance of the inevitability of political collapse.
00:22:48.000 That might be part of it.
00:22:49.000 So, put that MSNBC thing up back on screen because this actually ties perfectly to it.
00:22:54.000 Okay, so this is a Politico Morning Consult poll, which is what voters consider to be a major problem for a candidate running for office.
00:23:04.000 Is that right, Connor?
00:23:04.000 That's what they're talking about, a candidate here?
00:23:06.000 It seems as if.
00:23:07.000 Okay, so 81% of Democrats, 81% of Republicans believe if a candidate committed a felony, that's a major problem.
00:23:17.000 Okay, so then also domestic violence, 81% of Democrats say domestic violence would be a major problem, 67% of Republicans.
00:23:26.000 It goes on to a very interesting one, though, which is the homophobic remarks.
00:23:30.000 25% of Republicans consider that to be a major problem, and 71% of Democrats consider that to be a major problem.
00:23:37.000 Racist remarks, 38% of Republicans consider that to be a major problem, and 80% is Democrats.
00:23:42.000 Now, on the surface, it looks like how terrible Republicans, but no, you know why?
00:23:48.000 Because Republicans don't believe that what is considered to be racist and homophobic is actually racist and homophobic.
00:23:54.000 They know that those words have no meaning anymore.
00:23:56.000 You could take that down, Connor.
00:23:57.000 Which is, and by the way, why is political polling this?
00:24:00.000 It's like, there's a lot of other problems than other whether you think people have homophobic and racist remarks.
00:24:05.000 Republicans just don't believe those accusations anymore.
00:24:08.000 They're like, wait, I don't really care because it's not actually what you say it is.
00:24:16.000 And you kind of tie this into what Democrats are thinking.
00:24:19.000 Well, instead of what are they thinking, let's look at what they are doing.
00:24:25.000 What they are doing is a rapid, intentional, and accelerated decline of the country.
00:24:32.000 Now, why they are doing that, we can have our own theories.
00:24:38.000 And we can even see in a place like Oregon, very liberal Oregon, according to Breitbart.com, Oregon voters are souring on Democrat leadership.
00:24:48.000 Oregon voters have turned on Biden and Democrat Kate Brown.
00:24:53.000 Oregon is one of the five most liberal states in America.
00:24:56.000 It goes California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island.
00:25:04.000 Those are like the most liberal states in the country by far.
00:25:08.000 Voters in the state of Oregon, who have reliably voted Democrat in every presidential election since 1988, do not have a favorable view of Joe Biden.
00:25:17.000 63% of voters in Oregon have a negative view of Joe Biden.
00:25:23.000 53% of those have a very negative view, making his net approval negative 28% in Oregon.
00:25:32.000 Now, mind you, part of the reason is this not because they think that Trump is great.
00:25:36.000 They don't think he's progressive enough.
00:25:39.000 They don't think he's liberal enough that he's doing enough in the progressive direction, which of course is absurd.
00:25:45.000 It shows you how far left some of these states actually have become.
00:25:48.000 But I would love your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:25:51.000 What is the left thinking right now?
00:25:56.000 What is the left thinking?
00:25:57.000 What are they doing?
00:25:58.000 What are they plotting?
00:25:59.000 I think it's a combination.
00:26:00.000 They have a plan.
00:26:02.000 They think there's inevitability that Congress will turn over, try to limit the losses, and then try to implement their own kind of central bureaucracy further so that no matter who controls Congress, they still control the country.
00:26:15.000 Something worth thinking about.
00:26:19.000 For a couple years now, people have been setting up a contest between crypto and gold.
00:26:23.000 But that's like comparing a truck with an SUV.
00:26:25.000 Both carry stuff and travel from A to B, but they do different jobs.
00:26:28.000 Gold's job is to keep the value of your money safe and preserve its value.
00:26:32.000 And since Ukraine, the oil and the inflation crisis has done a brilliant job compared to stocks and other investments.
00:26:37.000 So if you're worried about what's going on right now, who isn't?

00:27:07.000 I'm going to close this hour by playing some tape just about some cultural issues and also some spiritual issues.
00:27:14.000 This is just so amazing to me.
00:27:16.000 Cut 64, the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania.
00:27:18.000 I was just in Pennsylvania, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
00:27:20.000 Great folks there.
00:27:21.000 Amish country.
00:27:22.000 I have so much respect for the Amish.
00:27:24.000 If you want to slow down, just go to the south of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 20 minutes.
00:27:30.000 You might find yourself stuck behind a horse buggy, and you'll start asking yourself the question: why is everyone drying their clothes outside?
00:27:41.000 Well, that answers the question.
00:27:43.000 The answer is in the question, actually.
00:27:46.000 Cut 64, the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, says he wants to eliminate the filibuster to codify abortion without any limitations.
00:27:55.000 I don't believe there should be any limits to abortion, play cut 64. 1.00
00:27:58.000 To make sure that we codify women's reproductive freedom in law to make sure that even if the Supreme Court does go down that road and eliminate or revoke Roe v. Wade, that we already existingly codify that into law.
00:28:15.000 And are there any limits on abortion you would find appropriate?
00:28:18.000 I don't believe so.
00:28:19.000 No. 1.00
00:28:20.000 That guy's a psychopath. 1.00
00:28:21.000 He's a weird dude. 1.00
00:28:23.000 So he looks like a trucker.
00:28:25.000 He looks like a coal miner, but he talks like a 20-year-old non-binary gender social justice activist from Drexel.
00:28:34.000 It's the weirdest thing.
00:28:36.000 It's like you look at him.
00:28:37.000 He looks like a muscular labor guy, like he's going to be working in the mines, like fracking in like central Pennsylvania, like an Altoona Pennsylvania guy.
00:28:45.000 And he starts talking as if he's like a college professor.
00:28:48.000 It's the weirdest thing.
00:28:50.000 So a seemingly unrelated clip that I just have to play is this woman who I think was in Transformers once.
00:28:56.000 I haven't seen her in a long time.
00:28:59.000 Megan Fox, whoever that is.
00:29:02.000 And apparently she's, I ask, I love when I ask, I say, so what's she famous for?
00:29:06.000 Oh, she's famous for being famous. 1.00
00:29:08.000 Oh, yeah, we need more of that.
00:29:10.000 Okay.
00:29:11.000 So you could kind of build out kind of whatever you want to take from this.
00:29:16.000 But if you're trying to tell me there's no spiritual dimension to all this, you're not looking close enough.
00:29:24.000 Play cut 74.
00:29:25.000 It's just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other's blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.
00:29:34.000 It is used for a reason, and it is controlled where it's like, let's shed a few drops of blood.
00:29:39.000 I need to drink it.
00:29:40.000 He's much more haphazard and hectic and chaotic where he's willing to just like cut his chest open with broken glass and be like, take my soul. 0.99
00:29:49.000 Let me bleed on you. 1.00
00:29:51.000 It doesn't not happen, let me tell you. 0.84
00:29:53.000 Maybe not exactly like that, but a version of that has happened many times.
00:30:00.000 So she's talking about her boyfriend or whatever, machine gun Kelly, whoever that is.
00:30:09.000 And they're in some sort of relationship, I suppose.
00:30:12.000 So what is the reason?
00:30:13.000 We do this for a reason.
00:30:14.000 What is the reason?
00:30:16.000 And she says it's a ritual.
00:30:18.000 Oh, it's her fiancé?
00:30:20.000 Okay.
00:30:20.000 So what is the ritual exactly?
00:30:22.000 So I'm not exactly like cued into witchcraft or pagan bloodletting ceremonies.
00:30:29.000 Connor, do we have a research team on that?
00:30:31.000 Are we looking into the pagan ceremonies?
00:30:35.000 We're looking into that.
00:30:36.000 So again, I don't want to jump to any conclusions.
00:30:38.000 Who am I to judge, right?
00:30:39.000 Like drinking each other's blood for ritualistic purposes.
00:30:42.000 Live and let live, right?
00:30:43.000 Do we have a witchologist we could have on the program?
00:30:46.000 Witchology?
00:30:47.000 Yeah.
00:30:48.000 She said, quote, this is her caption.
00:30:52.000 Somehow a year and a half later, having worked, walked through hell together, having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him.
00:31:00.000 And just in every lifetime before this one, as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes, and then we drank each other's blood.
00:31:08.000 She's like a celebrity.
00:31:09.000 I guess this is a thing that Hollywood does, which is like blood drinking ceremonies. 0.87
00:31:16.000 Again, I don't know much about that at all.
00:31:19.000 I believe, at least from my own superficial understanding, drinking each other's blood is very pagan and is rooted in witchcraft. 0.77
00:31:28.000 And she's someone I guess people follow, somewhat of an important person.
00:31:35.000 Spiritual dimension, look a step further, look a level deeper.
00:31:41.000 Oh, okay.
00:31:41.000 So Connor says this is who girls have to look up to.
00:31:44.000 Is that right?
00:31:44.000 Girls look up to her.
00:31:46.000 People look up to her.
00:31:47.000 What do they look up to her for?
00:31:48.000 The blood drinking?
00:31:51.000 She was in Transformers, and you never hear from her for like 15 years.
00:31:55.000 Find different role models that don't drink each other's blood.
00:32:00.000 That would probably be a good takeaway in life.
