00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You've got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:44.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:01:17.000 All right.
00:01:18.000 Welcome, everybody.
00:01:18.000 It's August 26, 2026.
00:01:20.000 We're here at the Y Refi Studios in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:01:25.000 Welcome, one and all.
00:01:26.000 Blake, how are we doing this morning?
00:01:27.000 We're doing good.
00:01:28.000 We're doing good.
00:01:29.000 We lost an American icon last night and yesterday.
00:01:33.000 Dolly Parton has gone to be with the Lord.
00:01:37.000 She was obviously. 0.91
00:01:39.000 A massive, huge country music star, but she eclipsed just being a country music star. 0.85
00:01:44.000 She was an actress, she was a songwriter.
00:01:47.000 By the way, she wrote The I Will Always Love You, which people remember as Whitney Houston's song, but it was the one she wrote, performed it first.
00:01:54.000 Elvis Presley tried to buy the rights from her.
00:01:57.000 I found that out.
00:01:57.000 I didn't know that.
00:01:58.000 And she wouldn't give up the copyright, half the copyright. 0.99
00:02:01.000 And so Whitney Houston ended up doing it for The Bodyguard with Kevin Costner.
00:02:04.000 It became the number one all time best selling song of any female artist.
00:02:09.000 At the time.
00:02:10.000 So she was very smart, a very savvy businesswoman.
00:02:13.000 It's interesting because there's a merging debate about the legacy of Dolly Parton.
00:02:18.000 And, you know, the gay community wants to claim her.
00:02:21.000 The communists want to claim her because she did that nine to five, you know, what a way to make a living. 0.98
00:02:25.000 And it's enough to make you crazy if you let it. 1.00
00:02:29.000 And kind of an early critique on cubicle culture and, you know, women working their way up middle management.
00:02:35.000 But she was always gracious.
00:02:37.000 She was always diplomatic.
00:02:39.000 She was a tremendous, tremendous philanthropist.
00:02:43.000 She ends up.
00:02:44.000 Dying with a net worth of over $650 million.
00:02:47.000 And over her lifetime, she gave away over a half a billion dollars, and she still was worth $650 million.
00:02:54.000 And she gave to stuff, I think, she gave away literally, I think, over 100 million books to children.
00:03:02.000 300 million.
00:03:03.000 Okay.
00:03:04.000 Yeah, her imagination library.
00:03:06.000 Which, if you have a baby, you can sign up for that.
00:03:09.000 They will mail you a free book.
00:03:10.000 So I just want to throw that out there.
00:03:12.000 Yeah.
00:03:13.000 And we were having this, it was discussed a lot yesterday.
00:03:16.000 And it's a slightly ominous question.
00:03:18.000 Is Dolly Parton the last American who has a more or less universally positive remembrance upon her passing?
00:03:26.000 It's interesting.
00:03:26.000 So let me, I want to have that discussion.
00:03:28.000 She sent us emails.
00:03:28.000 What did you think?
00:03:29.000 Yeah.
00:03:30.000 Because is she the last universally loved American icon? 0.92
00:03:34.000 It's a question because what she did in her life, very few instances that you could count against her where she got a little bit into the political weeds, but then she quickly maintained her independence. 0.96
00:03:45.000 But she really did rise above the fray. 0.62
00:03:47.000 She was.
00:03:48.000 Born in 1946 in Appalachia, East Tennessee, the Smoky Mountain area.
00:03:55.000 Fourth of 12 kids?
00:03:56.000 Yeah, the fourth of 12 kids.
00:03:58.000 She was raised in a one or two room, depending on the report, cabin.
00:04:02.000 It might have changed from one.
00:04:03.000 To two cabin without electricity.
00:04:06.000 It didn't have electricity.
00:04:07.000 And unlike so many other entertainers or actors, people who become big stars, she never turned on her roots.
00:04:15.000 She never said bad things about where she came from.
00:04:18.000 As a matter of fact, she lifted up the fact that, yeah, they were poor, but they had class and they were proud of who they were.
00:04:25.000 They were proud Americans.
00:04:26.000 She was never, the communists can't claim her.
00:04:29.000 That's not true.
00:04:30.000 She was a big time businesswoman. 0.55
00:04:32.000 She opened Hollywood in 1986. 0.89
00:04:34.000 It's got all kinds of roller coasters.
00:04:36.000 She did that to generate income for her home area of East Tennessee, and it remains a very popular attraction to this day.
00:04:45.000 And she was, I have to say, like looking back over her catalog, I, you know, because of our age, I kind of always think of the older Dolly when she, you know, got into the 50s, 60s, 70s, and now she died at 80.
00:04:59.000 But looking back at some of her clips, she was a really just beautiful woman, and she was very charming, and I think.
00:05:07.000 Her legacy will be that.
00:05:09.000 There's the kind of, yeah, the beautiful, adorable images of her.
00:05:12.000 And she was very, I think, confident in who she was.
00:05:15.000 And one of the clips that has emerged is something I've never seen before, but it was this interview she did with Barbara Walters.
00:05:22.000 And Barbara Walters really kind of was pretty aggressive in her questioning.
00:05:27.000 And the way that Dolly Parton took the answers and answered these really pointed questions is very telling about who she is and why she is one of the most beloved American icons.
00:05:36.000 Sot 9.
00:05:37.000 But do you ever feel that you're a joke?
00:05:39.000 That people make fun of you.
00:05:40.000 Oh, I know they make fun of me.
00:05:42.000 But actually, all these years, the people, you know, have thought the joke was on me, but it's actually been on the public.
00:05:49.000 I know exactly what I'm doing, and I can change it at any time.
00:05:52.000 I make more jokes about myself than anybody because I enjoy it.
00:05:56.000 I know, like I say, I am sure of myself as a person.
00:05:59.000 I'm sure of my talent.
00:06:01.000 And to me, and I'm sure of my love for life and that sort of thing, I'm very content.
00:06:07.000 I like the kind of person that I am.
00:06:09.000 So I can't afford to be. 0.96
00:06:13.000 I think you could land a helicopter on that wig.
00:06:22.000 I just think this is a great piece of tape, so I'm going to play another soundbite from it.
00:06:27.000 Sot 10.
00:06:28.000 You don't have to look like this.
00:06:30.000 You're very beautiful.
00:06:30.000 You don't have to wear the blonde wigs.
00:06:32.000 You don't have to wear the extreme clothes, right?
00:06:35.000 No, it's certainly a choice.
00:06:37.000 I don't like to be like everybody else.
00:06:40.000 Statement that I would never stoop so low as to be fashionable.
00:06:43.000 That's the easiest thing in the world to do.
00:06:45.000 So I just decided that I would do something that would at least get the attention.
00:06:50.000 Once they got past the shock of the ridiculous way I looked and all that, then they would see there was parts of me to be appreciated.
00:06:58.000 I'm very real where it counts, and that's inside, and as far as my outlook on life and the way I care about people and the way I care about myself and the things that I care about.
00:07:08.000 But I just chose to do this, and it's show business is a money making.
00:07:13.000 And I've just always liked telling jokes.
00:07:17.000 She's very, very likable, very poised.
00:07:20.000 And you should watch that whole interview.
00:07:22.000 You can find it on X, I'm sure. 0.80
00:07:24.000 She really comes after her, and Dolly just cool as a cucumber.
00:07:28.000 Now, let's just address the LGBT thing because she is kind of known as a gay icon.
00:07:34.000 She has a Wikipedia article about it. 1.00
00:07:36.000 That is always going to happen when you're a big, loud, you know.
00:07:40.000 You want to know the truth of it. 0.99
00:07:41.000 Part of it is because her really over the top. 1.00
00:07:45.000 Look, you know, giant hair, sort of other stuff. 1.00
00:07:48.000 It's drag.
00:07:49.000 It's like a drag show or like.
00:07:50.000 She's quoted as saying if she was born a man, she would have been a drag queen. 0.92
00:07:55.000 But she did it as a joke.
00:07:57.000 She said this long before there was controversy about this topic specifically.
00:08:00.000 So, the point is, they foisted that label upon her.
00:08:03.000 She never embraced it.
00:08:04.000 She just said, I'm not going to judge anybody.
00:08:07.000 And I think that was basically her mode.
00:08:08.000 She wasn't going to be controversial.
00:08:10.000 She wasn't going to wade into that. 0.63
00:08:11.000 She was the Michael Jordan, Republicans buy sneakers too.
00:08:14.000 She had that outlook on her business, on her entertainment.
00:08:17.000 And candidly, it's refreshing.
00:08:19.000 If all of our entertainers and actors and actresses and singer songwriters, if they just took that approach and said, hey, listen, Republicans buy our records too, I'm not going to alienate our audience, the world would be a better place.
00:08:31.000 So, you can judge that maybe and say she should have taken a harder line.
00:08:34.000 I certainly take a harder line, but that's my role.
00:08:36.000 My role and Blake's role is to be a little bit more aggressive and a little bit more confrontational.
00:08:42.000 Her role was to entertain.
00:08:44.000 And as a result, she became a beloved American icon, a true original, Blake, a true American original.
00:08:50.000 There's tapes from her in Ireland being beloved.
00:08:54.000 I think the Royal Band.
00:08:57.000 Yeah, the Coldstream Band.
00:08:58.000 Yeah, they did a whole thing for her. 1.00
00:09:01.000 So, God bless Dolly Parton.
00:09:04.000 I really.
00:09:04.000 Have grown in my appreciation and admiration for her life, her legacy, how she did, we went about her business really, and her philanthropic endeavors that really focused on Appalachia and her home.
00:09:16.000 There's a lot to appreciate about Dolly Parton, and she will be greatly missed.
00:09:20.000 And the question, and we'd love to get your answer to it, do you think that she is the last of her breed?
00:09:26.000 Is she the last of the universally beloved American icons in this country?
00:09:32.000 And if not, who could be that person?
00:09:34.000 Who is A good take on if we have any more American icons, Dick Van Dyke is still going.
00:09:41.000 That is.
00:09:42.000 He might have gotten to the point where he's like 100 or something.
00:09:45.000 Yeah, I think he's like 103.
00:09:46.000 I think he can still give surprisingly good interviews, or I saw one from a couple of years ago at least.
00:09:50.000 Good genes.
00:09:51.000 He's good genes.
00:09:52.000 He might reach the point where he's so old that he stops being an icon because all the people who remember him are dead.
00:09:57.000 Yeah, well, I mean.
00:09:59.000 But Mary Poppins is still very popular.
00:10:03.000 Without further ado, we have a guest.
00:10:06.000 He's his first time on the show, Thomas Corbett Dillon.
00:10:08.000 He's a political commentator.
00:10:10.000 Former advisor to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
00:10:13.000 And now he's a viral internet sensation.
00:10:15.000 Thomas, welcome to the show.
00:10:17.000 It's good to have you.
00:10:18.000 And congratulations on your viral moment.
00:10:22.000 It was truly one of the more satisfying pieces of tape I've seen in recent years.
00:10:26.000 Well, we should probably show it for people.
00:10:28.000 So this was on GB News, correct?
00:10:30.000 Yeah, GB News, right.
00:10:31.000 Now, are you a host on GB News?
00:10:34.000 No, just to commentate.
00:10:35.000 Just to commentate.
00:10:36.000 So they invited you on to have this kind of conversation.
00:10:39.000 And the woman across from you, Was a former Obama advisor.
00:10:43.000 So, God bless you for taking on this task.
00:10:45.000 So, why don't you just give us the why don't you preface what happened here and then we'll play the clip?
00:10:51.000 Yeah, sure.
00:10:52.000 I mean, so we're obviously discussing this Lindsey Clancy story.
00:10:56.000 And it really was sort of unexpected.
00:10:58.000 I didn't quite understand that she was going to be on the side of the killer.
00:11:02.000 This to me was like mind blowing.
00:11:04.000 I was like, wait, am I really going to have to debate whether this woman is evil or not? 0.81
00:11:08.000 Like, this is insane.
00:11:08.000 So, I thought, well, I tapped into my sort of 2016 memories, you know, Milo era.
00:11:15.000 So let's do an SJW.
00:11:16.000 Gotcha.
00:11:17.000 So we went for it.
00:11:18.000 We did it like the old days.
00:11:20.000 Oh my gosh.
00:11:21.000 It was so good.
00:11:23.000 So let's just go ahead and play a portion of this clip.
00:11:26.000 And man, I saw this everywhere, just to be clear.
00:11:29.000 So, SOT8, enjoy.
00:11:32.000 They should be commended.
00:11:33.000 I've had it with you.
00:11:35.000 Oh my God.
00:11:35.000 They should be commended.
00:11:36.000 They're going to kill their children. 1.00
00:11:38.000 She's a murderer. 1.00
00:11:39.000 I can't wait to hear it. 1.00
00:11:41.000 They say that Lindsay was in psychosis. 0.99
00:11:43.000 I think these women are suffering from psychosis. 1.00
00:11:45.000 They've been watching too many true crime episodes. 1.00
00:11:49.000 Netflix dramas. 1.00
00:11:49.000 This is a murderer who strangled her children one by one. 1.00
00:11:53.000 What you just said was absolutely disgusting. 0.99
00:11:55.000 Thank you. 1.00
00:11:56.000 You should be ashamed of yourself.
00:11:57.000 Thank you.
00:11:57.000 And you can hear that he's not.
00:11:59.000 Okay.
00:12:00.000 You clearly don't care.
00:12:01.000 So pipe down. 1.00
00:12:02.000 I know many women that this has happened to.
00:12:04.000 No, they did not kill their children, but they also, what you failed to mention.
00:12:08.000 Well, they should be commended because they did.
00:12:10.000 I've had it with you.
00:12:11.000 Oh, my God.
00:12:12.000 They should be commended. 1.00
00:12:13.000 They're going to kill their children. 1.00
00:12:15.000 She's a murderer. 1.00
00:12:16.000 I can't help you. 0.95
00:12:21.000 You're a braver man than I am.
00:12:22.000 Yeah.
00:12:23.000 Like every man watching that, and a lot of women, and we have great women in our audience. 1.00
00:12:27.000 I will tell you that we have sane women.
00:12:30.000 But we were just all feeling for you in that moment.
00:12:33.000 And the way you stood your ground was amazing. 0.81
00:12:36.000 And she tried to, she threw out the, you're a misogynist, you're a sexist, and you just laughed it off.
00:12:43.000 It was so brilliant. 0.61
00:12:44.000 Well done.
00:12:45.000 So I did talk to you on the phone briefly yesterday.
00:12:48.000 You said that wasn't the end of the story.
00:12:50.000 What happened when the cameras stopped rolling?
00:12:53.000 Well, she like carried on.
00:12:54.000 She like wanted to go on and she was like, you don't really believe this.
00:12:56.000 You're just doing it for the cameras.
00:12:57.000 And I'm like, no, I believe that she's evil and she killed her children.
00:13:01.000 Like, is that so remarkable to be like, this is.
00:13:03.000 I'm not the one with the crazy opinion.
00:13:05.000 Like, you know, so it just, I'm like, come on, the cameras are off.
00:13:08.000 Like, we can, you know, at least it's TV, right?
00:13:10.000 You know, but no, she was very, very serious.
00:13:13.000 I would have let her go if she was like, whatever, I'm trying to get a TikTok click and I'm doing this.
00:13:17.000 I'd say fine, she's playing the game.
00:13:19.000 No, she believes this stuff.
00:13:20.000 It's crazy.
00:13:21.000 And have you, I guess, if you're marinating this, are you getting emails from people or are people reaching out to you, message you?
00:13:29.000 Like, how pervasive does this seem to be?
00:13:31.000 Is it hopping across the pond to Britain in a big way?
00:13:34.000 Not so much.
00:13:35.000 The Brits are pretty, they're kind of all a bit confused as to why this.
00:13:39.000 It seems to be a sort of liberal American women issue that they're defending this woman, I think, which is good. 0.78
00:13:44.000 Shows it hasn't spread too far yet.
00:13:45.000 The psychosis is under control, it's contained.
00:13:48.000 But, you know, it just, you know, I think a lot of people who have been reaching out have been mostly supportive.
00:13:54.000 And it's just common sense. 0.93
00:13:55.000 As you said, a lot of normal women are like, this is insane. 1.00
00:13:59.000 Like, none of us agree with this. 0.80
00:14:00.000 So I think it's good that people are realizing that not all women think this. 1.00
00:14:04.000 It just seems to be the crazy liberal ones. 0.96
00:14:06.000 This is really fascinating. 0.55
00:14:09.000 Well, I have a couple supportive clips that we prepared in advance, but this is a woman. 1.00
00:14:13.000 She's mocking Lindsey Clancy supporters with extreme accuracy. 1.00
00:14:18.000 She's on our team here, so we support this gal. 0.97
00:14:20.000 But SOT 13.
00:14:21.000 Is this on?
00:14:21.000 Oh, okay, okay.
00:14:24.000 Ready, ready.
00:15:07.000 I mean, good for her, right?
00:15:08.000 I mean, that is, it's like, same Lindsay, as they're holding their children.
00:15:13.000 I hope there has been a record amount of CPS calls in this country of like deranged women that are using their toddlers as social media props because it's one of the sickest things I've ever seen, genuinely.
00:15:25.000 Yeah, it's crazy.
00:15:26.000 And you know, finally, the men have got some sort of ammunition.
00:15:28.000 I think the courts have forever been against the men every time. 0.98
00:15:31.000 It's like, actually, some of these women are insane, you know? 1.00
00:15:33.000 So instead of just immediately going that the men are evil, we've got to give the kids to the women, some of these women are crazy. 1.00
00:15:40.000 But yeah, that was hilarious. 0.98
00:15:41.000 I love that trip because that's exactly what it is, right?
00:15:43.000 They're filming themselves, editing it, putting filters on it.
00:15:47.000 Yeah, some of these people, I don't know.
00:15:49.000 It's crazy.
00:15:50.000 I don't know what's going on with these people.
00:15:52.000 They really seem to have, you know, particularly on this case, I do think, as I mentioned in the clip, I do think it's come down to a lot of these true crime documentaries that they love because if you think about how these shows work, there's always a twist.
00:16:06.000 You get to the end of the show and it's like, ah, the husband did it or this happened.
00:16:10.000 So, people are expecting that in every story they read these days.
00:16:13.000 So, they think that this case is going to have some moment where all of a sudden it was the husband or there was some other involvement in it.
00:16:21.000 And that's not the case always.
00:16:22.000 Sometimes it's just what we see.
00:16:24.000 So, I think that's a real problem.
00:16:28.000 Looking for entertainment the whole family can actually agree on, let me tell you about Eckl.
00:16:34.000 That's E K K L dot com. 1.00

00:17:27.000 All right.
00:17:27.000 So, you brought up this idea that true crime shows on Netflix or whatever have really started rotting the brain.
00:17:36.000 Spencer Pratt made a similar observation talking about Hollywood.
00:17:40.000 We've been supporting and rooting for anti heroes for a while now, right?
00:17:44.000 You think of Breaking Bad or.
00:17:47.000 Dexter, where these are homicidal maniacs that we end up rooting for in the midst of a television show over multiple seasons.
00:17:55.000 There's also TikTok brain, there's therapy brain.
00:17:59.000 When we talk about where this phenomenon is coming from, where do you lay the blame at the feet of?
00:18:05.000 Well, I think it's tough because, you know, obviously that genre, particularly I think one in this case is the true crime genre.
00:18:12.000 I think that has a lot to answer for, but I understand because at the same time, They're making a television show, right?
00:18:19.000 So, of course, they edit it and produce it in a way that encourages people to look for clues.
00:18:25.000 And in episode two, there's a moment that you only discover, and episode 10 was important.
00:18:29.000 You know, it's how they set up the show.
00:18:31.000 And that's what makes it good.
00:18:32.000 We enjoy that.
00:18:33.000 But then applying that into real life, because of course, the only cases they make these shows about are the rare ones that do have a twist and have got an interesting angle.
00:18:41.000 There's millions of cases in this country that don't have any of those things.
00:18:44.000 They're actually just boring, straightforward cases.
00:18:46.000 Yeah, she did it. 0.99
00:18:48.000 This woman, Lindsay, has admitted she killed her children.
00:18:52.000 There is no twist.
00:18:53.000 There's no husband did it.
00:18:54.000 Someone said he pushed her out the window or he brainwashed her.
00:18:58.000 These people have gone crazy on TikTok.
00:19:00.000 So I do think that that is a problem.
00:19:01.000 They've realized that you've got to understand there's TV and then there's real life, and people seem to have lost that difference.
00:19:09.000 Yeah, well, I do think it's interesting too when you think about the way the algorithmic capture happens, right?
00:19:15.000 When you get siloed in a certain algorithm feed, whether that's TikTok or Instagram or YouTube, and they tend to reward the most crazy, over the top takes or suspicion, speculation.
00:19:29.000 Because they reward chatter, and so they want stuff that'll really fire people up, and everyone will.
00:19:34.000 Replies to it and they'll show the stuff that everyone's replying to.
00:19:37.000 And then there are people who genuinely believe this.
00:19:40.000 There's also, let's be frank, a lot of people who want attention and to be famous.
00:19:44.000 And so they fixate on a thing because it rewards them with attention.
00:19:48.000 Yeah.
00:19:49.000 Well, and, you know, I've said this on both on X and on the show.
00:19:53.000 The Venn diagram overlap between some of the truthers when it comes to Charlie's case and Tyler Robinson and the Lindsey Clancy truthers is nearly one to one.
00:20:05.000 It's probably almost a direct overlap.
00:20:07.000 The same crew of people are being loud about the same thing, but it's worrisome because we're giving way, you know, facts, logic, reason, you know, actually using our brains to critically think through a question or a case in this instance.
00:20:23.000 And we're giving in to rabid speculation.
00:20:27.000 We call it the fallacy of evidence of the gaps fallacy, where any gap in knowledge is then filled in with some wild speculation and then they make a TikTok about it and that's what we get.
00:20:37.000 I want to show this clip because we haven't.
00:20:39.000 Shown it on the show yet, but it was going around yesterday.
00:20:43.000 This is Dr. Hellebrun from the actual court case, and he's kind of this old school, no nonsense kind of, I think he's a psychologist.
00:20:52.000 Yeah, psychologist.
00:20:53.000 And he basically is saying, in his estimation, she's making up the hallucination where she heard the voice, you know, to kill her children.
00:21:00.000 SOT 12.
00:21:01.000 I found the account of hallucinations to be, as she described it, it would be very, very unusual to experience it that way.
00:21:11.000 Never having.
00:21:13.000 Not before, not since, constantly for 18 minutes.
00:21:19.000 However, if this was a thought, an unwelcome, intrusive thought, but still a thought, that's basically this is your last chance. 0.99
00:21:29.000 You have to kill the kids so you can kill yourself, then that would be consistent with thoughts that she'd been experiencing for some time. 0.97
00:21:39.000 It's a very dark clip because what it evokes to me, there's a type of murder we are kind of familiar with, which is. 0.98
00:21:46.000 The husband, the father, murder suicide cases where they kill their wife, they kill their kids, they kill themselves, some combination thereof.
00:21:54.000 And that description he's making makes Lindsey Clancy kind of sound like that.
00:21:57.000 If you dive into the psychology of those people, it's often they're very self centered and narcissistic.
00:22:02.000 So they think, I need to kill myself for whatever reason, and they won't be able to go on without me.
00:22:08.000 They'll suffer so much without me. 0.69
00:22:10.000 I will spare them from this suffering by taking them with me.
00:22:13.000 It's a hugely self centered way of viewing the world.
00:22:16.000 And I'm Getting the vibe that that is how Lindsey Clancy was viewing the world that she wanted to commit suicide, she was depressed, but oh, my kids will be so sad without me, so I can take them with me.
00:22:28.000 Yeah, I mean, it's somewhat speculating at that point, but this inversion of morality.
00:22:33.000 I think, yeah, go ahead.
00:22:34.000 I've heard that, but in those cases that you mentioned, let's remember what usually happens is the guy will take a shotgun and it's done in three seconds.
00:22:42.000 Blast, blast, blast.
00:22:43.000 The kids are gone.
00:22:44.000 So sad, horrible.
00:22:45.000 But she strangled, that takes four minutes. 1.00
00:22:49.000 To strangle someone.
00:22:50.000 One by one, the kids ran away.
00:22:53.000 He was hiding, she had to go.
00:22:55.000 It's a brutal case.
00:22:56.000 I don't believe in this idea that she had this moment of insanity and she just blasted the kids and shot herself.
00:23:03.000 That is, as you said, that's the murder suicide.
00:23:06.000 It happens.
00:23:06.000 It's a split second.
00:23:07.000 It's done, right?
00:23:09.000 This is meditated.
00:23:10.000 This is, can you, it's horrible to even think about, but can you imagine doing that?
00:23:15.000 How she could do this?
00:23:16.000 And then that, fine, she's admitted it.
00:23:18.000 Fine.
00:23:18.000 This should not even be a case we discussed.
00:23:20.000 We should all say she's evil. 1.00
00:23:21.000 Get rid of her. 1.00
00:23:22.000 It's these women that are like, no, I can sympathize with her. 1.00
00:23:27.000 I really don't understand this case.
00:23:29.000 Why I think your clip was important, Thomas, was actually because I do believe that sometimes these things can become contagions, right?
00:23:38.000 And there's some reason to believe that online that this is spread in the way that a contagion would, right?
00:23:45.000 That a lot of women, I've seen articles written that all these women are starting to kind of like understand where she's coming from and empathize with it, and they start resenting their children.
00:23:56.000 And you worry, there's already been a couple instances of suspected copycat.
00:24:00.000 Cases like this.
00:24:00.000 This is why the moral lines have to be extraordinarily clear.
00:24:05.000 Yeah.
00:24:05.000 And this is from our TPSA frontlines team that went out and filmed all of these Clancy supporters in their pink shirts with the hearts, same Lindsay, same with their babies.
00:24:15.000 And that's why I think the moral lines have to remain extraordinarily clear.
00:24:20.000 Yes.
00:24:20.000 If you know someone who's there, you need to be talking to them.
00:24:23.000 You know, where are their brothers?
00:24:25.000 Where are their dads?
00:24:25.000 Where are these people that need to tell these women this is not okay?
00:24:29.000 I don't care that you're having fun there and you've made friends there. 1.00
00:24:32.000 You know, this is one of the problems with these TikTok people.
00:24:34.000 They've been posting cooking videos or whatever and they get no views.
00:24:37.000 And all of a sudden, they say, Oh, I kind of relate to this Lindsay, and they get a million views.
00:24:41.000 It's like, Oh, this is how you get famous.
00:24:43.000 This is how you make content.
00:24:44.000 Look, all my friends are there.
00:24:46.000 We have to shut this down.
00:24:48.000 There cannot be.
00:24:49.000 And that's what I did on the clip.
00:24:50.000 As soon as she tried to imply that we had any empathy for this woman, absolutely not. 0.71
00:24:55.000 We cannot give them a second on this because they run away with it.
00:24:58.000 They get carried away.
00:24:58.000 They love it.
00:24:59.000 The women love this community that they feel like they're becoming a part of.
00:25:02.000 And they know something that we don't know. 0.95
00:25:03.000 The men are evil.
00:25:05.000 We have to shut this down.
00:25:06.000 So, if you are recognizing people on there, you've got to be telling them, get these girls under control.
00:25:11.000 They've lost it. 0.99
00:25:12.000 I completely agree.
00:25:13.000 There's an interesting headline here from the post millennial 143.
00:25:17.000 It says, liberal baby bust.
00:25:19.000 Leftists aren't having kids over mental health stress while conservatives keep forming families.
00:25:27.000 And this is according to a new study.
00:25:29.000 You know, Charlie used to kind of joke about this that we're going to outbreed them and just give us 20 years.
00:25:33.000 And when you start seeing stories like this, And, you know, left, I think progressive women are self identified as the most anxiety riddled, you know, depressed, anxious of any cohort out there.
00:25:49.000 And so you sort of start seeing this affect and impact real life statistics like family formation.
00:25:55.000 And I, candidly, I'm not, I'm sad that we're below fertility replacement levels, you know, from a fertility standpoint.
00:26:02.000 But candidly, those people probably shouldn't be having kids, Thomas.
00:26:06.000 So I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
00:26:07.000 We joke about that, but really.
00:26:08.000 They should be in town.
00:26:09.000 It's a growing problem. 1.00
00:26:10.000 We need people to have kids. 1.00
00:26:12.000 I understand.
00:26:13.000 But if they are too stressed out, if they have mental health issues, and they're going to relate to somebody like Lindsey Clancy, then perhaps this is just self selection out of the population.
00:26:24.000 Thomas, final message.
00:26:25.000 It's true.
00:26:25.000 But on the same time, I've met guys at CPAC that have the most liberal mums in the world, and they're like the most base bro you'll meet.
00:26:31.000 So it's like you can see some to maybe these liberal women might have all these base sons.
00:26:35.000 We never know. 1.00
00:26:37.000 But yeah, and it's a growing problem.
00:26:39.000 Look at the generation divide.
00:26:40.000 Yes, we've got all these sort of. 1.00
00:26:41.000 Cat ladies at the moment, they're in their 40s, but look at the majority of 40 year old women are married and have children and they're having a good time. 1.00
00:26:49.000 The younger generation, when these 20, 25 year old girls start getting up there to that, this is a growing epidemic. 0.99
00:26:55.000 And I really don't know what is going to happen.
00:26:58.000 They're going to, they've been told their whole lives that their careers are going to replace their family and they're going to have fulfillment from that.
00:27:04.000 It's not true. 1.00
00:27:05.000 You know, women are absolutely amazing. 0.90
00:27:07.000 And the fact that they get to do this birth children thing is something, it's a gift, right? 0.99
00:27:11.000 And they've been told their whole lives that, you know, actually, you don't need to do that.
00:27:15.000 Forget about that.
00:27:16.000 You know, it's not the right time or you're not mentally prepared or whatever.
00:27:19.000 A million reasons they're told.
00:27:21.000 None of it's true.
00:27:21.000 Nothing will bring you the happiness that a child brings.
00:27:24.000 Amen.
00:27:25.000 Thomas, this is great.
00:27:27.000 Congratulations on the viral clip.
00:27:28.000 You earned it, you stood your ground.
00:27:30.000 And I genuinely think you did a service for humanity because the moral inversion that we're seeing on social media must be countered by strong, oftentimes male voices.
00:27:40.000 Thomas, God bless you.
00:27:42.000 Appreciate it.
00:27:42.000 Thank you.
00:27:43.000 Cheers.
00:27:46.000 Our inbox exploded with emails about Dolly and a lot about Lindsey Clancy, but we'll do the Dolly part.
00:27:51.000 All right, we're not going to be hitting Lindsey for the last time, I'm sure. 0.86
00:27:55.000 Wally said, Dolly Parton purchased a Tennessee truck stop for the sole purpose of preserving a piece of American country music history.
00:28:03.000 I guess there might be some famous truck stop regard to that.
00:28:05.000 Yeah, that's cool.
00:28:06.000 I've seen country music tours pull in and the whole crew went to eat, shop, et cetera. 1.00
00:28:11.000 Foreigners are taking over the family owned, independent run truck stops all the time. 0.99
00:28:15.000 She is one of the last true American celebrities to care about the USA. 0.64
00:28:19.000 Susan says, Dolly was an amazing, gifted woman who used her fortune to help so many.
00:28:25.000 I do hope the books she gives away are pro Judeo Christian values.
00:28:28.000 I don't know.
00:28:28.000 I haven't seen them.
00:28:31.000 I think they are.
00:28:32.000 She says, I lament the look she chose for decades to attract attention to her music.
00:28:37.000 It had an influence on many women and continues today.
00:28:40.000 Sad, but I do love her songwriting.
00:28:44.000 Pamela says, as far as icons go, we still have Lee Greenwood and George Strait.
00:28:49.000 George Strait.
00:28:50.000 George Strait.
00:28:51.000 I don't know if he's quite famous enough.
00:28:53.000 I don't have a mental image of George Strait.
00:28:55.000 No, George Strait's massive.
00:28:56.000 Massive.
00:28:57.000 Uh, and Lee Greenwood, I guess I'll be blunt like the fact he's associated with Trump, we're grateful for, but it does mean he's not a unifying figure in the way that Dolly Parton was.
00:29:08.000 Uh, Babette says, My favorite song by Dolly Parton is Light on Light of a Clear Blue Morning.
00:29:13.000 Please see if you can play it, it would be a great anthem for Republicans.
00:29:17.000 I'm not familiar with it, so I'll have to check that out. 0.99
00:29:20.000 Uh, Cindy says, Was she the last of her kind? 0.72
00:29:22.000 She never brought politics into her music career, and I think this made her iconic.
00:29:26.000 Dolly will be missed, and lastly.
00:29:29.000 Someone says Dolly Parton pushed the COVID vaccines and helped men manufacture them.
00:29:34.000 I did look that up.
00:29:35.000 She donated to Vanderbilt, which did work on it. 0.57
00:29:38.000 It's nauseating how many conservatives are fawning over her.
00:29:41.000 So we found at least one person who's not an admirer, but wanted to read that too.
00:29:46.000 Yeah, I mean, you got to also understand there was such a massive push to get the vaccine out that if you're of an older generation, I think it was just kind of a moment where you go, yeah, I got to get together.
00:29:59.000 And she wanted to do her part.
00:30:00.000 A public health campaign, the same way someone.
00:30:03.000 Celebrities did AIDS stuff in the 80s.
00:30:05.000 Didn't age well, but it's kind of, it's, you know, it's understandable why she thought it was probably a safe thing to get involved in. 0.86
00:30:13.000 Yeah.
00:30:13.000 And just, you know, remind people it's like President Trump promoted the vaccine.
00:30:16.000 Yeah, that's true.
00:30:18.000 All right.
00:30:19.000 So we want to get into this because yesterday we covered Abdul El Sayed quite a bit.
00:30:23.000 This story is continuing on. 0.98
00:30:26.000 And Hassan Piker has now piped up because that's what he does.
00:30:30.000 He does little streams and he says crazy things.
00:30:34.000 He's got a lot of audience.
00:30:35.000 So it's important to pay attention.
00:30:36.000 But he says.
00:30:38.000 That if he gets disavowed by El Sayed, it's purely tactical. 0.52
00:30:42.000 Sop four.
00:30:42.000 There are going to be a lot of people who are already questioning Abdullah Syed's sincerity on these issues that will then turn around and say, oh, he's moderating his position on Israel, all the stuff.
00:30:59.000 I don't think he is.
00:31:01.000 Okay.
00:31:01.000 I will say this.
00:31:02.000 I am literally the person that is being dangled.
00:31:06.000 And I'm going to tell you once again he's not moderating on his perspective on Israel or anything like that.
00:31:11.000 His reaction to this has always been very good, which is look.
00:31:15.000 I deal with people that I don't fully agree with and don't fully subscribe to on a daily basis.
00:31:20.000 This is politics.
00:31:21.000 Politics is about addition, not subtraction, right?
00:31:25.000 It's smart.
00:31:27.000 It's the right way to deal with it and then deflect back to the issues because they are the ones who are engaging in the deflection.
00:31:34.000 Okay.
00:31:35.000 So did you catch that?
00:31:36.000 He's not moderating on anything.
00:31:38.000 He's a true believer on things like Israel, on, you know, probably reparations, Green New Deal, all that stuff. 0.73
00:31:45.000 Medical mutilation of minors. 0.85
00:31:46.000 He's a real believer.
00:31:48.000 And if he disavows, this will be tactical.
00:31:52.000 It's funny because we were talking how people say he might want to run for president right away.
00:31:56.000 He sees himself as an Obama like guy.
00:31:59.000 And I very much remember similar takes like that for Obama that people rushed up to say, Obama, this is even just people I talked to in the streets.
00:32:08.000 They were very confident that anything Obama did that was like pivoting towards the center, that was pandering to the masses, like that, okay, he's so rarefied and above everyone that.
00:32:19.000 He sometimes has to deign to deceive people so that they cannot see his full refulgence and glory.
00:32:24.000 But, wow.
00:32:26.000 Well, kind of an interesting pattern there and a worrisome one.
00:32:29.000 Interesting.
00:32:31.000 Instagram just suspended Thomas Corbett Dillon's account, just so you're aware.
00:32:37.000 That happened while we were on air with Thomas Corbett Dillon.
00:32:40.000 He just let me know.
00:32:41.000 That's not cool, Instagram.
00:32:43.000 We're going to get to the bottom of that.
00:32:45.000 Let's go ahead and play.
00:32:46.000 This is NPR's Aisha Rasko.
00:32:49.000 Basically saying that El-Sayed needs to draw a bright line with Hassan Piker, top five.
00:32:54.000 Can he go on like this for 60 days without coming out more strongly on this, do you think?
00:32:58.000 I think that this is going to be continually, you know, thrown in his face.
00:33:03.000 I mean, when you're, I think as a candidate, right, you want your name to be front and center, not someone else's.
00:33:10.000 Like when you're constantly having to answer for someone else who is not in your campaign, that is not a good look for you.
00:33:18.000 Like you want to be front and center.
00:33:20.000 So I do think that he's going to have to draw some sort of bright line and try to make it so that the story is not about someone who's not a part of his campaign, right?
00:33:32.000 Because he's the one that's on the ballot.
00:33:34.000 So I think that this is a huge problem for him.
00:33:36.000 It is a huge problem.
00:33:37.000 I think it should be a big problem.
00:33:38.000 It's almost, you have to take a step back and remind ourselves what's going on here, that he really wanted and sought out the endorsement of this guy who is incredibly popular with the young left.
00:33:48.000 I've seen pictures.
00:33:49.000 Insanely popular, such that it's difficult for him to distance himself.
00:33:52.000 It's difficult for the party to distance themselves.
00:33:54.000 We have the op eds that say we shouldn't kick out Hassan Piker because he has too much of this influence to have.
00:34:01.000 And then we have to remind ourselves this is a guy who said, We deserve 9 11.
00:34:04.000 Okay, well, you can, you can, it almost sounds rote when you recite it that way. 0.96
00:34:08.000 It's a guy who says that America deserved for a bunch of foreigners to come into America, take flying lessons, board planes with hundreds of civilians on them, stab the pilots to death with box cutters, take those planes, fly them into an office building, kill thousands of people. 0.97
00:34:23.000 That America deserved that. 0.99
00:34:25.000 Ultimately, that it was basically a good thing that it happened. 0.53
00:34:28.000 And because he defends things like the 10 7 attacks, that Hassan Piker, deep down, is a person who is happy when that sort of thing happens to America. 0.60
00:34:36.000 He defends 9 11 because he wants 9 11 to happen to you. 0.74
00:34:39.000 Yeah, that's exactly right. 1.00
00:34:41.000 And he'll sing a stupid song about it on stage afterwards. 1.00
00:34:43.000 He embraces all sorts of crazy, violent rhetoric. 1.00
00:34:47.000 He wants capitalist blood in the street, Rick Scott to be killed. 0.98
00:34:51.000 He mocks Charlie's death. 0.96
00:34:53.000 And on and on and on it goes.
00:34:55.000 He talks about the fact that we should, I guess, impoverish the white middle class in this country. 1.00
00:35:01.000 He's very open to that. 0.98
00:35:03.000 So he's a bigot, he's an anti white racist, and he's a silver spoon foreign boy. 0.97
00:35:09.000 He was born, yeah, in the United States, but raised in Turkey. 0.99
00:35:12.000 So, this guy is not American in any way, shape, or form.
00:35:15.000 Not really.
00:35:17.000 And he has linked himself with the most radical political candidates in this country. 0.99
00:35:22.000 And yeah, the story is going to continue to be about you, Hassan Piker, because you are a rabid dog. 0.99
00:35:28.000 And you are, by the way, you treat your dog really, really mean. 0.99
00:35:32.000 By the way, that's not nice.
00:35:33.000 They always do.
00:35:35.000 He shocks his dog.
00:35:36.000 Commies have bad relationships.
00:35:38.000 They treat things around them badly because they're rotten in their hearts.
00:35:43.000 So, Hassan Piker, you've created a political liability for your BFF. 0.92
00:35:48.000 The circumcision is castration, El Sayed. 0.66
00:35:51.000 Enjoy the ride. 0.98
00:35:54.000 Hi, folks.
00:35:55.000 Andrew Colvett here.

00:37:01.000 That is Libby Evans.
00:37:02.000 Great to see you, Libby.
00:37:04.000 Welcome back to the show.
00:37:05.000 Hope you're doing well.
00:37:06.000 Yeah, thank you so much.
00:37:07.000 Nice to see you.
00:37:08.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:37:09.000 We wanted to have you on because, well, you're great and you're fantastic.
00:37:12.000 And if people aren't following your work, they need to be.
00:37:15.000 But also because, so I'm always reminded of one of the first times we talked about ethnicity.
00:37:21.000 And I said, well, what's your ethnicity, Libby?
00:37:23.000 And what was your answer?
00:37:24.000 I'm American.
00:37:26.000 Yes. 0.99
00:37:27.000 This is a true blooded American woman right here.
00:37:31.000 And I love that answer because so many people will say, I'm German or I'm Irish or I'm Italian or whatever.
00:37:35.000 Libby is American.
00:37:36.000 And I love that because we are a people.
00:37:39.000 We have a heritage.
00:37:40.000 We have a history.
00:37:41.000 We have a country.
00:37:42.000 We're not an economy with some people attached.
00:37:44.000 We are a collective people.
00:37:47.000 And that is important.
00:37:48.000 We have a shared history.
00:37:50.000 So immigration is really near and dear to my heart.
00:37:52.000 I know it is to yours as well, Libby.
00:37:53.000 And there are a slew of new immigration pieces in the news that we have to cover.
00:37:58.000 Because I want our audience to be educated about them.
00:38:00.000 So, one of those is that Marco Rubio, a little, you know, working in the background here, has just announced that they have paused all these applications around the world.
00:38:14.000 They have paused all these.
00:38:16.000 I mean, I just, why not just, you know, move that pause to an indefinite pause?
00:38:22.000 But it is a pause, okay?
00:38:24.000 Right.
00:38:25.000 And it's connected to another story.
00:38:27.000 It happened immediately after the largest revocation.
00:38:32.000 The largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history.
00:38:37.000 What is behind the mass revocation?
00:38:39.000 Who are they targeting and why is it important?
00:38:42.000 Yeah, so this mass revocation, about 200,000 visas have been revoked or they're on the verge of being revoked.
00:38:49.000 And these are for people who came to the U.S. on tourist or business visas, then overstayed those visas and took the opportunity to apply for asylum in the United States, bypassing all of the regular asylum channels.
00:39:02.000 You're supposed to go to the nearest safe country, you're supposed to apply at the border, all of these other things.
00:39:08.000 But it seems like they're just trying to use their status to apply for asylum.
00:39:13.000 Even though they've overstayed their visa and that's illegal. 0.70
00:39:16.000 So their visas are gonzo. 0.75
00:39:18.000 Gonzo.
00:39:19.000 So there are so many pieces of this story.
00:39:23.000 So Secretary Rubio is using this pause to revamp the way that consular offices and embassies are vetting these visa applicants to stop this abuse of the system and these fraudulent asylum claims, which is huge.
00:39:37.000 Because a lot of people talk about the border, and we should.
00:39:40.000 That was a huge, huge issue under Biden.
00:39:41.000 It was getting exploited in some really, really egregious ways.
00:39:46.000 But visa overstates is a whole other piece of the pie.
00:39:49.000 Now, the Cato Institute, we actually have a graph here.
00:39:52.000 I believe it's, yeah, it's like, okay, so this is going to be, I don't know what number, it's not numbered, but the Trump administration has likely cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, according to Cato.
00:40:07.000 That is massive.
00:40:09.000 That is like news.
00:40:11.000 That is like music to my ears.
00:40:12.000 That's like Dolly Parton straight into the ocular nerves here.
00:40:17.000 Okay, I'm telling you.
00:40:17.000 So, This is a big story.
00:40:19.000 Now, we've got another story that H 1Bs. 0.99
00:40:24.000 JD tweeted about this.
00:40:25.000 The Wall Street Journal reported on this.
00:40:27.000 It says the Trump administration is proposing a new six figure fee for H 1B visas that would apply to most new applicants, not just those applying from abroad, replacing an earlier plan to charge $100,000 for a visa that was struck down by the courts.
00:40:39.000 So they're coming back at this.
00:40:40.000 JD Vance says if an American corporation needs workers, it should hire and train Americans.
00:40:46.000 Libby, your take.
00:40:47.000 Yeah, I'm 100% with him on this.
00:40:49.000 If you really need a foreign worker, Because that person is absolutely integral to your business, then you can afford to pay for them and go get them and give that fee.
00:40:58.000 But I think that there are so many talented people in the United States.
00:41:02.000 We have so many people who need work, who want work.
00:41:06.000 We've seen dropouts of the workforce by young men across the board.
00:41:09.000 That's been a huge issue.
00:41:11.000 I applaud Secretary Duffy and the Transportation Department of getting a bunch of gamers to go be air traffic controllers.
00:41:17.000 This is absolutely a brilliant move to me.
00:41:20.000 And I think that there should be more innovative ways.
00:41:22.000 To get our young men and women back into the workforce and to help them get these better jobs that they could achieve, like an air traffic controller, right?
00:41:30.000 Or any of these positions that the H 1B people are applying for.
00:41:34.000 H 1Bs across the board also, like there's specific amounts of money that you have to pay them.
00:41:39.000 Typically, they are less than what an American would seek to negotiate. 0.99
00:41:43.000 And I think we need to stop undercutting our workers.
00:41:46.000 Even Cesar Chavez knew that illegal immigration undercut American workers and that it should not be happening.
00:41:53.000 The Congressional Black Caucus, members of that group, knew for years.
00:41:57.000 That illegal immigration was hurting black American workers because they say black Americans are the last ones in and the first one out.
00:42:04.000 And it's got to stop.
00:42:05.000 We need these people.
00:42:06.000 We need our Americans, the people who love this country, were born and raised here, and are raising their kids here to be able to be the first ones in line to get these jobs.
00:42:15.000 Amen.
00:42:16.000 I just love the chance to talk about this because you and I, we all get so frustrated because it's very common to see these takes on X of they've never done anything, they don't do enough.
00:42:27.000 And we still see this.
00:42:28.000 It'll be.
00:42:29.000 We got a record high number of ICE arrests in July, like 40,000 or something in a single month.
00:42:35.000 And they go, it's only like one eighth what we actually need.
00:42:39.000 Like you set a record, it's continuing to go up.
00:42:42.000 You're cutting legal immigration, you're cutting off each of these flows in a million different ways.
00:42:47.000 And it's infuriating to me that people don't like accept the wins.
00:42:52.000 Like, what you should do is you should praise the wings to the heavens.
00:42:55.000 It's like they don't understand how Donald Trump works.
00:42:57.000 That Donald Trump likes to hear people praise and talk about how great he is and how great he's doing.
00:43:02.000 And he will go to do more of what you say.
00:43:05.000 Great job.
00:43:05.000 Thank you for doing this, Mr. President.
00:43:07.000 And instead, they pout.
00:43:08.000 Yeah, they do.
00:43:09.000 It's so enraging.
00:43:10.000 Well, let's throw this one up.
00:43:11.000 So, this is, I think, a little bit dated now.
00:43:13.000 Point, but H 1B, after he put the original $100,000 fee on it, cut H 1B visas by at least 25%.
00:43:20.000 There was additional reporting from Cato that said that new H 1B issuances of those visas was down over 90%.
00:43:30.000 Over 90%. 1.00
00:43:31.000 That's a huge, huge win.
00:43:33.000 And to Blake's point, all the doomers online that say Trump administration isn't doing anything and it's just the same and the left right paradigm, bro, is dated. 0.99
00:43:40.000 That's garbage. 0.90
00:43:41.000 Do you think that Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz would have done this? 0.99
00:43:44.000 Absolutely not.
00:43:45.000 Instead of seeing a reduction of overall H1Bs down 25%, we would have seen it skyrocket by about 50%.
00:43:51.000 Okay.
00:43:52.000 Because, and I got into a debate with Chris Cuomo.
00:43:56.000 Maybe we'll pull that clip for the next segment.
00:43:58.000 Where I said, listen, Chris, if you get another president that's a Democrat president in office, the minute they're sworn in, that border's going to get swarmed.
00:44:05.000 The minute that that president gets swarmed.
00:44:07.000 And they tried to deny this.
00:44:08.000 They tried to say, no, that was a specific Biden thing.
00:44:11.000 But it's 100% the case that it will happen again because look at the left's.
00:44:16.000 Psychological state, their ideological state, like the way all of their candidates need to line up to, for example, just to make it related, to denounce Israel because it's such a meme among their base, among the people who care the most.
00:44:28.000 On immigration, the way it is, is they cannot articulate a valid reason for someone to not be allowed into America or for someone to be deported from America.
00:44:39.000 They can't conceptualize it.
00:44:41.000 None of them are able to go on stage and say, criminals need to leave America.
00:44:44.000 We have too many people here.
00:44:46.000 We can't let in random people.
00:44:47.000 So it's going to happen again.
00:44:49.000 Well, the second you see a sob story or a crying mom on the border with their kids that shouldn't have come all that way, it was actual malfeasance on behalf of the parent.
00:44:59.000 They're going to let them in.
00:45:01.000 They're going to get in one way, shape, or form or the other.
00:45:03.000 They might try and limit the bad PR and the optics at the border with the caravans and all that stuff, but they'll just come up with a CBP1 app.
00:45:10.000 And so they can apply and they'll fly them in here. 0.64
00:45:12.000 And on your dime, mark my words, the Democrat Party lacks the sufficient backbone and spine to deal with immigration properly. 0.82
00:45:20.000 The second Nassau story comes through, they'll just all flood through. 0.52
00:45:26.000 When you have open borders, which the Democrats are prominent in.
00:45:29.000 No open borders.
00:45:30.000 No open borders.
00:45:31.000 And in fact, I bet you.
00:45:33.000 You feel confident about that?
00:45:34.000 If the Democrats say it's 2028 and AOC wins the presidency, do you think, or Asaf or whoever, Mark Kelly, do you think that the border is going to remain shut? 0.87
00:45:46.000 Or do you think there's going to be a massive wave of immigrants that go, oh, Democrat in power, we're flooding the border again? 0.75
00:45:52.000 I do not believe that any serious Democrat running for major office is going to say we should have no borders or that we should have floods of unvetted people. 0.63
00:46:05.000 Do you think they're going to have the backbone when those sob stories, the crying migrant mothers from Honduras are flooding the border, and you've got 150 other countries present at the border, that they're going to have the backbone to say, sorry, you can't come in? 0.89
00:46:19.000 Or do you think they're going to come in? 0.96
00:46:20.000 They're going to come in, Chris.
00:46:22.000 Yeah, I think it's so important there that part that will they have the backbone?
00:46:26.000 That's how it works.
00:46:27.000 It wasn't that Biden came in and said, I believe in open borders.
00:46:30.000 I'm going to give a speech.
00:46:32.000 It's that his administration was filled with Democrats, novel idea.
00:46:35.000 And each of those individual Democrats, they lack the ideological wiring, the circuitry to say America is a country that is allowed to keep people out.
00:46:45.000 They have no political will or base support for that.
00:46:49.000 The word got out that if you show up and you recite one of these, I need asylum, like one of the seven canned claims, that they would let you in.
00:46:56.000 They would have a lawyer who would provide you free legal representation.
00:46:59.000 Who will fight for years?
00:46:59.000 You'll get a hearing three or four or 10 years out.
00:47:02.000 And if you blow it off, nobody's going to hunt you down and deport you because they think ICE is evil.
00:47:06.000 That is how the system works.
00:47:08.000 Libby, I want to show you this graphic 156.
00:47:11.000 I have been credibly told that the Trump administration is not doing anything that its voters asked for.
00:47:18.000 I've been credibly told that everything's terrible and things are terrible and nothing's getting done and it's just a uniparty and we need to unite and purity test, purity test.
00:47:29.000 156.
00:47:29.000 Look at that red arrow right there.
00:47:32.000 It keeps shooting up.
00:47:33.000 That is Trump 2.0 interior enforcement.
00:47:36.000 It's none of this border turnover stuff.
00:47:38.000 This is interior enforcement.
00:47:40.000 These are arrests on the street.
00:47:42.000 What do you make of a graph like that, Libby?
00:47:44.000 Yeah, I think the Trump administration has been doing an awful lot with immigration enforcement, not just in terms of securing the border, which is pretty much a finished project right now, but also in terms of interior enforcement.
00:47:56.000 And there's a few things to remember with this.
00:47:58.000 Every time the Trump administration comes out and does what the American people want, the judiciary stands in the way.
00:48:04.000 And claims that the Trump administration is not allowed to do various different things.
00:48:08.000 They've tried to stop Marco Rubio from prohibiting immigration from 75 countries, saying that it's up to the consulates to determine who gets a visa and who doesn't.
00:48:18.000 And what's sort of amazing about that is that was last week.
00:48:21.000 And now this week, Rubio says, you know what?
00:48:23.000 No visas, no visa appointments at all.
00:48:26.000 We're just going to put a pause on that.
00:48:28.000 So I have a lot of respect for that.
00:48:29.000 And the other thing you have to remember is that the Biden administration used so many legal and semi legal means to get people into the country.
00:48:36.000 That each one of these has to be tackled on its own ground.
00:48:39.000 That's temporary protected status, H 1B visas, the business visas, the visa overstays, the student visas, and all of the rest of it.
00:48:47.000 So each one of those needs its own targeted approach.
00:48:50.000 Well, in this, you mentioned the judicial obstructionism, and we're seeing that right now with another Biden appointed judge.
00:48:57.000 I think her name is Jeanette Garcia, if I'm getting her name right.
00:49:02.000 So Rubio goes and says, We're going to ban all visas from 75 different countries, including like Somalia, Iran, places like this. 1.00
00:49:11.000 75 countries, which is great. 1.00
00:49:12.000 I'm all for it because I think Americans are sick of being invaded by the third world, whether it's illegally or legally. 1.00
00:49:18.000 We're done with it. 1.00
00:49:19.000 Okay.
00:49:20.000 There was another, by the way, I don't know if you saw this story, another Indian illegal truck driver who got a CDL from California who killed another American yesterday. 0.80
00:49:28.000 That's five things, five different things that have all gotten their CDLs either from New York or California and killed Americans on our roadways. 0.99
00:49:38.000 I think people are just sick of this crap. 0.97
00:49:41.000 And so he goes to ban 75 countries from getting visas at all. 1.00
00:49:44.000 Like you're just.
00:49:45.000 You can't get them.
00:49:46.000 This district judge puts an injunction on it, says he can't do that.
00:49:50.000 It was an overreach of his statutory authority.
00:49:53.000 Libby, you've been covering that story.
00:49:54.000 Where's that one going to go next?
00:49:56.000 Yeah, I mean, these are going to go back and forth throughout the courts.
00:49:59.000 And I think eventually some of these are going to land at the Supreme Court.
00:50:02.000 That's what we just saw with the USPS EO about ballots, where the USPS said that they didn't have to deliver ballots in states that were not transparent with their voter registration and things like that.
00:50:16.000 And now that judge has.
00:50:17.000 Just re what's the word?
00:50:20.000 Overturned her previous order and said that, you know, according to the Supreme Court, it can go forward.
00:50:26.000 And so she's out on her tail about that one.
00:50:28.000 But that's what's going to happen with each one of these.
00:50:31.000 And I think that what this means is that we're relying an awful lot on the Supreme Court to implement what the Supreme, what the American people, excuse me, want to have happen.
00:50:40.000 And that's a big problem.
00:50:41.000 The judges should get out of the way when it turns out that the American people want this.
00:50:46.000 The law is on the side of the administration.
00:50:48.000 We look at that every time we go into these laws and take a look.
00:50:51.000 It's like, oh, That turns out it's up to the Secretary of State to decide when TPS expires, not anybody else.
00:50:57.000 That's the Secretary of State's job.
00:50:59.000 It's up to DHS. 1.00
00:51:01.000 Yeah, this is my pushback for all these like doomers out there. 1.00
00:51:04.000 What do you expect the president and this administration to do on some of these issues? 1.00
00:51:09.000 You have a court system, we have a rule of law, we have a system that we have to abide by.
00:51:13.000 If not, you're creating incredibly dangerous precedent for a future Democrat president, mind you, that are just going to come in and ignore all the laws.
00:51:22.000 So he's got to deal with the courts, he's got to deal with the feckless Congress that.
00:51:26.000 You know, can't get behind anything, really.
00:51:29.000 So he's doing what he can with what he's got, and he's doing it as quickly as possible.
00:51:34.000 And when you see those interior enforcements shoot up through the roof like that, I mean, we haven't seen a graph like that probably since Eisenhower.
00:51:41.000 I mean, with, you know, Operation, it's a, you know, it's a pejorative now, but it was literally called Operation Wetback at the time, where they got millions of illegals out.
00:51:50.000 And that's what they called it.
00:51:51.000 That's what they called it.
00:51:52.000 I'm not trying to insult anybody.
00:51:53.000 That's what they called it.
00:51:54.000 And they got millions of the illegals out, and then they had a bunch of self deportations.
00:51:58.000 And we are seeing that as well.
00:52:00.000 Right.
00:52:00.000 So I'm told that the number is now over 3 million self deportations.
00:52:04.000 3 million.
00:52:05.000 So that's a huge, huge accomplishment for this administration.
00:52:11.000 And if you just give these people, imagine JD Vance gets elected in four years.
00:52:15.000 I'm not trying, Marco, I'm not trying to even play in that question right now.
00:52:19.000 But if you look at that graph, if you could throw it up again, that ICE doubles the interior enforcement of Obama.
00:52:24.000 If you give, and that keeps shooting up, by the way, to Blake's point, every month is a new record.
00:52:29.000 If you give them six years to continue making efficiencies, hiring, Learning how best to use the system, working with local municipalities at local jails and prisons.
00:52:40.000 Imagine what that will do.
00:52:41.000 Over the span of time, if you give these guys enough time to work, we will see real formative change in this country.
00:52:48.000 Libby Evans, final 30 seconds to you.
00:52:51.000 Yeah, I'm totally with you on that.
00:52:52.000 I think this is what we need to keep doing going forward.
00:52:54.000 We don't need more squabbles about whether or not we should be allowing millions of people into the United States who absolutely hate us and hate our culture and just want to get all of the benefits.
00:53:04.000 And that's one of the things that this visa halt is about, so that the consulates can. 0.88
00:53:07.000 Figure out who's coming here just to steal taxpayer money and who's actually interested in becoming American or hanging out for a little while and then going home, which is what these visas are supposed to allow.
00:53:18.000 So, kudos to the administration for keeping on top of this one.
00:53:22.000 Yeah, I'm all here for it.
00:53:23.000 Libby Evans, the great Libby Evans from the Post Millennial and Human Events.
00:53:27.000 You're doing a great job, Libby.

00:54:36.000 Without further ado, we have the great Alex Marlowe joining us now.
00:54:40.000 Alex, you people don't know you all, some people do, but your whole biography, I mean, you started with Andrew Breitbart in Los Angeles.
00:54:50.000 You.
00:54:51.000 I went to Berkeley.
00:54:52.000 You know California very, very intimately.
00:54:55.000 What year did you start with?
00:54:57.000 Did Andrew Breitbart hire you?
00:55:00.000 Wow.
00:55:00.000 That's a great question.
00:55:01.000 I think it was 2004.
00:55:03.000 Whoa.
00:55:04.000 No, 2008.
00:55:05.000 2008.
00:55:05.000 2008.
00:55:06.000 So we're 18 years.
00:55:07.000 Yeah.
00:55:07.000 And the, by the way, put a pin in that word intimate.
00:55:12.000 Okay.
00:55:12.000 That's going to come up.
00:55:13.000 I had the same thought.
00:55:14.000 Same thought.
00:55:15.000 Put a pin in that.
00:55:16.000 I could appreciate that given the topic that we're about to go over with you.
00:55:20.000 Let's put it this way, guys.
00:55:21.000 I've been inside of Los Angeles.
00:55:24.000 Oh, gosh.
00:55:26.000 I don't even know.
00:55:28.000 Do we have to hit the mute button or not for that?
00:55:31.000 I lost something.
00:55:32.000 All right, here we go.
00:55:34.000 Let's keep this show on the.
00:55:36.000 Let's keep the train on the rails.
00:55:37.000 Here we go.
00:55:39.000 SOT 7.
00:55:40.000 This will shock many of our viewers.
00:55:43.000 SOT 7. 0.94
00:55:47.000 Private sexual relief through masturbation or where appropriate and consensual with a partner, all funded by public tax dollars and managed with professional oversight. 0.96
00:56:02.000 Yes, you heard that right.
00:56:03.000 Here in Los Angeles, they're considering a pilot program for hygienic sexual relief clinics. 0.99
00:56:09.000 This means that homeless would have a location for them to go and masturbate and have sex in. 0.98
00:56:14.000 Okay, are we sure this wasn't like an Alex Stein? 0.99
00:56:17.000 Was that a bit?
00:56:18.000 Yeah, was this like an Alex Stein individual that was going to his local community?
00:56:24.000 I don't know, city council.
00:56:27.000 Is this real?
00:56:28.000 Is this real?
00:56:29.000 And like, I have to believe it is real because it's LA, right?
00:56:34.000 Or even if it wasn't real, if the guy was running shtick, there will be someone who takes it seriously.
00:56:40.000 Alex Marlowe, help us here.
00:56:41.000 Well, it's necessary, guys.
00:56:43.000 And we're actually going to connect a lot of dots here because this actually is a problem in LA because there is so much homelessness and your sex drive doesn't dry up just once you hit the streets.
00:56:56.000 That isn't how.
00:56:57.000 God made us.
00:56:58.000 And so, this is a thing that you witness in one of our businesses that we have, one of our buildings that where we actually, when we relaunched Breitbart News with Andrew Breitbart's vision for this sort of orange and black, you know, Halloween colored website that we've had that has been our website for 14 years now.
00:57:16.000 When we were there building this website, we did it from this very strange building, the studio.
00:57:21.000 It's almost like a warehouse.
00:57:22.000 I think Master P was the previous owner, the rapper, and is an odd space, odd part of town.
00:57:28.000 Completely overrun with homelessness, right next to the 405 freeway, close to the 10.
00:57:32.000 And I remember one night walking out after a long day of work building our new website.
00:57:37.000 And I saw a homeless man masturbating on the sidewalk, lying there, pulling at himself.
00:57:43.000 And he saw me walk towards my car. 0.93
00:57:45.000 And he looked up, he sized me up, he realized I wasn't an authority figure, and he just kept going.
00:57:51.000 He just kept going.
00:57:52.000 He did not stop because he had company and because someone was witnessing his behavior.
00:57:56.000 He didn't care.
00:57:57.000 He was just checking to see if this is going to cause a problem for me in a legal sense.
00:58:00.000 And he kept going.
00:58:01.000 So, of course, there actually is a legitimate reason why someone would think, yeah, well, maybe what we should do is actually just like give them a room.
00:58:08.000 That's the issue.
00:58:09.000 It's not that we have huge mental health issues and people are unhoused and we have a bunch of drug problems and all that stuff in the city.
00:58:16.000 No, the issue is they don't have a special sex room.
00:58:18.000 That's the problem.
00:58:21.000 It strikes me as the same kind of liberal logic where they want to give out free needles, right?
00:58:26.000 So don't deal with the underlying problem.
00:58:28.000 Don't actually, because they're human beings, they deserve dignity and they deserve our sympathy and our compassion.
00:58:34.000 And by the way, as Christians, we're called to have sympathy for the poor and to help serve the poor. 0.98
00:58:39.000 The question, Alex, is giving them like a private masturbation room serving the poor? 0.98
00:58:44.000 Is that honoring their dignity? 0.99
00:58:46.000 Or is this just another liberal malaise issue?
00:58:51.000 I mean, I can't.
00:58:52.000 And by the way, I've verified it.
00:58:54.000 This is real.
00:58:55.000 This is actually real.
00:58:57.000 So, but you see why I walked through the logic of why you would think it's real.
00:59:01.000 But I just also, the Democrats can't do in the left, they can't do beyond stage one thinking. 0.84
00:59:06.000 So they just know that, well, you know, they're going to be having sex somewhere. 0.98
00:59:09.000 So I may as well give them a room to do it.
00:59:10.000 And so that's where they get to.
00:59:12.000 They don't get that the first rape that takes place in here, which will be on day one.
00:59:17.000 Then we just get to brand it rape rooms and they'll just be government funded rape rooms.
00:59:20.000 And then that's a midterm campaign ad for Republicans, conservatives.
00:59:23.000 And we never stop saying that.
00:59:24.000 And that's exactly what's going to happen.
00:59:26.000 Also, though, by the way, if any of you guys ever lose your job, you might want to do an experiment where you apply for the job of a government funded homeless rape room.
00:59:37.000 No, no, no, shutting that down, shutting that down right now.
00:59:41.000 Yeah, man.
00:59:42.000 Can you imagine?
00:59:43.000 Custodial engineer for these rooms.
00:59:45.000 They're going to need to get cleaned up by someone.
00:59:46.000 Who cleans those rooms up?
00:59:49.000 Yeah, this does remind me that you mentioned that this is the site of homeless individuals doing this is something that I guess is part and parcel with Western life.
00:59:58.000 There was an old, I believe it was a Facebook post that went viral on X again, but it's a few years old.
01:00:04.000 It's a woman who is in this group called Park Slope Moms.
01:00:07.000 So, one of these very blue neighborhoods.
01:00:10.000 And it's describing a woman, she says, I am at Slope Playground.
01:00:13.000 There is a man in his 30s with no kids pleasing himself while watching the kids.
01:00:18.000 I moved my kids to the other side of the playground.
01:00:20.000 I. Confronted this man and said, I was about to call the cops, but it was evident he was developmentally disabled. 0.97
01:00:27.000 I didn't want to have my Karen moment, but I found the situation to be completely inappropriate and wasn't sure what to do. 0.99
01:00:34.000 Thoughts?
01:00:35.000 And then she has this follow up where she's admitting, I am white, he is black, and while I'm not a medical professional, he was disabled.
01:00:43.000 It's a woman who's basically saying, I was afraid to say a homeless man should not be pleasuring himself in front of children at a playground because I'm white and he's black and he's disabled and homeless.
01:00:54.000 And I just think this is what we have in the left wing mind the endless desire to indulge what is unacceptable behavior out of pity, out of misguided charitableness.
01:01:07.000 It's this inability to enforce boundaries.
01:01:11.000 And you mentioned the needle exchange program.
01:01:13.000 Common left wing thing forever is we'll actually solve this problem if we indulge the problem that if you give addicts safe substance abuse, you'll reduce the harm.
01:01:24.000 If you give them a place to.
01:01:26.000 Engage in whatever this program is going to do, that will mitigate the harm.
01:01:31.000 And the actual way you mitigate harm is to say certain behaviors are unacceptable.
01:01:34.000 And if you do them, you will be stopped and you will be confined or punished or what have you.
01:01:39.000 And it is the inability to enforce boundaries that is one of the great failures of modern civilization, such as we have it.
01:01:47.000 I'll tell you, we turn this city over to the homeless.
01:01:49.000 We prioritize the criminals and the homeless over the families.
01:01:52.000 It's just such a stark contrast.
01:01:54.000 And you go down, there's a video of me on the top of my Instagram page of Marlowe News, if people want to go over there.
01:02:00.000 And you could see, there's a couple years old at this point, but it's me at the La Brea Tarpets with my family, which had become a homeless encampment.
01:02:06.000 Is one of the iconic tourist attractions in LA, which is a stupid tourist attraction, but it's next to a museum and it's just a way for families to hang out on the weekend, completely overrun by the homeless.
01:02:18.000 But the park in my neighborhood, where I pay an HOA $190 a month and there's a fence around the park, then it's perfect. 0.80
01:02:24.000 It's pristine.
01:02:25.000 It's the best.
01:02:25.000 Going to the park with your kids.
01:02:26.000 The city treats the homeless as if they're the ones who own the parks, not the taxpayers who pay for the parks.
01:02:32.000 And the homeless encampments are coming back.
01:02:34.000 Street homelessness is on the rise.
01:02:36.000 We could be running, we could be electing the homeless czar as the mayor, Nitja Rahman.
01:02:41.000 And the city council just voted 10 to 3 to bring back homeless camps that had been previously shut down.
01:02:46.000 This is really how we behave in LA because the homeless are a massive voter block for Democrats.
01:02:51.000 And they also lead to all those nefarious NGO money where the government money goes to programs ostensibly for the homeless.
01:02:58.000 They're really just jobs programs for other people in the city.
01:03:00.000 All right.
01:03:01.000 I'm going to float something for our audience.
01:03:02.000 So I want to get your emails freedom at charliekirk.com.
01:03:06.000 The fact what Alex just said is that the homeless community has now become a voting block.
01:03:12.000 When you are running for mayor of Los Angeles.
01:03:14.000 And by the way, there are all these NGOs that go out and they harvest their votes.
01:03:18.000 They give them free stuff to just vote for whatever they want.
01:03:22.000 I am genuinely at the point, Alex, and I don't know if this is how controversial this is, but to me, it makes all the sense in the world.
01:03:30.000 I believe that if you are a public charge, you should not necessarily enjoy franchise.
01:03:36.000 That's how I feel.
01:03:37.000 That's how I feel.
01:03:38.000 What do you guys think?
01:03:39.000 Do you think that if you are a net contributor to society, If that is a fair litmus test for whether or not you should be able to vote, or is that mean?
01:03:48.000 Is that bigoted?
01:03:49.000 Am I being unkind to those who are less fortunate?
01:03:52.000 I want to know what you think.
01:03:54.000 Yeah, I love the consideration because the Overton window just moves so far where we're now prioritizing the least productive people.
01:04:00.000 We're catering to the least civically engaged, least productive members of society.
01:04:04.000 It's not working.
01:04:05.000 It's not working, whatever we're doing now.
01:04:08.000 We are empowering a certain percentage of the culture to vote to take our stuff.
01:04:14.000 They are incentivized.
01:04:15.000 So we are no longer able as a culture to balance budgets because the second somebody does, it becomes a political weapon that they can use in the midterms.
01:04:24.000 Oh, they got some fiscal sanity.
01:04:26.000 We got to vote them out.
01:04:28.000 And I just want to hear from the audience.
01:04:30.000 Do you think that we should actually start having a conversation about if you are a public charge or a net contributor, is that the dividing line?
01:04:41.000 I don't know.
01:04:41.000 I haven't even asked you what you think about this.
01:04:43.000 I think it would be unfortunately unpopular, but 100%.
01:04:47.000 It makes all the sense in the world.
01:04:49.000 The classic failure point of a lot of republics historically is the realization that you can basically vote to plunder the treasury.
01:04:59.000 You can vote to loot the state.
01:05:01.000 If you don't have a stake in the state continuing and being responsible, you're not going to seek its best interests.
01:05:08.000 Yeah.
01:05:09.000 Do we have any emails, Blake?
01:05:10.000 We've got a handful.
01:05:12.000 I mean, a lot of people saying that this is all disgusting.
01:05:14.000 Unfortunately, someone says Teresa says we should take the Olympics away from LA.
01:05:19.000 That pains me because I think.
01:05:21.000 We could do a good.
01:05:22.000 I think here's the truth.
01:05:24.000 The Olympics in LA, I suspect, will show you the reality.
01:05:28.000 It's like when Xi Jinping visited San Francisco and very suddenly, California, it turned out they were always capable of fixing up San Francisco and cleaning it up.
01:05:37.000 They just needed a foreign communist dictator that they cared about impressing to be there rather than their own citizens.
01:05:42.000 I think LA will probably be great for the Olympics because it'll finally, we know how libs are. 0.56
01:05:48.000 They care a lot more about impressing someone who's European and sophisticated, they care about impressing internationals.
01:05:54.000 So they'll finally power wash a few things and make things work right in LA.
01:05:58.000 What is disgusting is they aren't willing or able to do this for ordinary citizens just for the sake of having a nice city.
01:06:06.000 And I just think it's so sad when you guys mentioned parks that could be great for families being ceded to the homeless.
01:06:13.000 That this is a simple test of civilization. 0.75
01:06:16.000 For the good of 99.9% of the public, can you deal with the 0.1% who cause all the problems, who are a 100% dead weight loss, who are not following rules? 0.70
01:06:31.000 Can you?
01:06:31.000 Do you have the courage to say your behavior is unacceptable and we're removing you?
01:06:35.000 Maybe for an Olympics, but not in general.
01:06:37.000 Sadly, that's my take.
01:06:38.000 Alex, you're pretty hard on Meta, and there is a new lawsuit that is just settled.
01:06:44.000 They settled, by the way.
01:06:45.000 So Zuckerberg was going to take the stand in this.
01:06:48.000 They settled before he had to.
01:06:50.000 Zuckerberg's Meta agrees to $18 billion settlement with 29 states to end the teen social media addiction lawsuit.
01:06:57.000 Your take, my friend.
01:06:59.000 I think Blake's right.
01:07:00.000 I think we are going to clean it up.
01:07:01.000 The other thing that they got to ace up their sleeve is Donald Trump will still be president.
01:07:04.000 At the, and he actually is a cheerleader for the country and doesn't spite blue states, despite what he might truth bomb on True Social.
01:07:12.000 He really doesn't.
01:07:13.000 And he's going to make sure we do well.
01:07:15.000 Think about how incredible what happened during the World Cup that we had like, what was it, 170 Super Bowl level type events.
01:07:22.000 And people wanted it so badly to be a disaster.
01:07:25.000 They wanted it to be awful.
01:07:27.000 And it was amazing.
01:07:28.000 It was amazing.
01:07:29.000 And it was, I don't even like it.
01:07:31.000 It's boring.
01:07:31.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:07:32.000 Other than the games, I think the games are still boring.
01:07:34.000 Did you guys catch that Spain gave up one goal the whole World Cup?
01:07:38.000 I mean, does that show that the game is broken?
01:07:40.000 They gave it one goal for the entire.
01:07:43.000 That's why they won.
01:07:43.000 That's why they won.
01:07:44.000 I enjoyed the world profoundly.
01:07:46.000 I had a great time.
01:07:47.000 Anyway, I'm glad you did.
01:07:48.000 And so did everyone else.
01:07:49.000 And the whole country looked good.
01:07:51.000 And not enough is done.
01:07:52.000 And by the way, calling out to the administration, not doing a good job selling that.
01:07:56.000 No terror attacks.
01:07:57.000 There wasn't even a fist fight at this thing.
01:07:59.000 And everyone loved it.
01:08:00.000 And they loved America.
01:08:01.000 And just somehow that's not getting marketed at all.
01:08:04.000 Finally, on meta, I mean, Instagram has been very destructive to very addictive, especially to teenage girls.
01:08:10.000 A lot of addictions, a lot of mental health issues, a lot of suicides, clearly stemming from social media addiction.
01:08:17.000 And one part about the settlement that I like, and it's probably too much of a laundry list to go through on the podcast, but we have it at breitbart.com, and I'm sure you guys can go through it if you'd like.
01:08:26.000 But there's a lot of stuff in the settlement.
01:08:28.000 It's not just a cash payout, it's resolving to try to quell some of the addiction of young people to these apps.
01:08:36.000 And I think that's very positive.
01:08:37.000 And it's good that the government is doing that.
01:08:39.000 Put details on this.
01:08:40.000 Kids face daily limits and nighttime blocks on.
01:08:43.000 Instagram and Facebook as part of this multi billion dollar settlement.
01:08:47.000 However, check this out.
01:08:49.000 So, this is the Attorney General James Uthmeyer from Florida.
01:08:54.000 He says Florida didn't join the Meta settlement.
01:08:57.000 The payouts are peanuts, he says, compared to the profound harms Meta's profit driven addictive features inflicted on kids and a slap on the wrist for a trillion dollar corp that will pay more to lawyers than to the states.
01:09:08.000 I can't imagine they're paying $18 billion to their legal team.
01:09:11.000 We'll see them at trial.
01:09:14.000 Okay, so that's interesting.
01:09:16.000 So we'll see them at trial.
01:09:16.000 But then you think of what this could mean for YouTube?
01:09:19.000 What's this going to mean for TikTok?
01:09:21.000 What's going to mean for X?
01:09:24.000 You know, can we go too far here?
01:09:25.000 Are we not going far enough?
01:09:27.000 Alex, where would you like to see this go next?
01:09:28.000 Yeah, it's interesting because I'm pro freedom.
01:09:31.000 So I think people should be able to choose what they do.
01:09:34.000 But we really, I feel like the blowback, the swing back of the pendulum to we try to get off our phones as much as possible.
01:09:41.000 But it's just so addictive and it's so unhealthy for young people.
01:09:45.000 And the screen ager phenomenon seems to only be getting worse.
01:09:48.000 And so I'm encouraged that it does seem like the Zuck 2.0 and his current C suite seem more concerned than in the past.
01:09:58.000 But it really, they've got to go a lot further than this, I think, because it is just such a dangerous product.
01:10:03.000 It's so dangerous.
01:10:04.000 But it's like cigarette level addiction.
01:10:06.000 Yeah.
01:10:06.000 This is going to affect YouTube.
01:10:08.000 I mean, they're going to be next.
01:10:09.000 YouTube, I think, is even more addictive, actually, the way that those videos, the next one pops up.
01:10:14.000 Yeah, and TikTok.
01:10:15.000 I mean, it's really scary when you get it.
01:10:17.000 They're addictive.
01:10:18.000 They also.
01:10:19.000 They cook your brain, like your ability to do normal thought is really breaking down when it's you have the ADD 30 second video. 0.99
01:10:28.000 Have you heard a Gen Z face?
01:10:29.000 This is the thing the Gen Z kids that I talk to they talk about because they're always looking at their face, they're not looking at somebody expressing an emotion because they're interacting with another person.
01:10:38.000 It's like dead face, and they're like the mouth comes open because they're just scrolling because that's like they're in it, affects like the tilt of your neck, and you're just looking at a phone. 0.91
01:10:47.000 That's good.
01:10:48.000 This is very strange, and I think like when you take it from COVID.
01:10:51.000 To then, you know, the Charlie Kirk trutherism and then the Lindsey Clancy trutherism.
01:10:55.000 There is something profound happening to the human psychology.
01:10:59.000 Final 10 seconds, Alex.
01:11:00.000 Yeah, you nailed it.
01:11:01.000 I think the Clancy phenomenon, clearly social media made that what it is, and it's very frightening.
01:11:06.000 I'm glad we got to see it, but I really blame social media a lot for that.
01:11:09.000 And look, think about the last time you watched a viral video that you loved.
01:11:12.000 Your face was still like this emotionless, even if you love the video.
01:11:17.000 We're losing our humanity in a sense, at least our sociability.
01:11:20.000 Alex Marlowe, editor in chief of Breitbart and host of the Alex Marlowe Show.
01:11:23.000 We love him.
01:11:24.000 We'll see you guys tomorrow.
