00:01:00.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:09.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:33.000It is rare that we're able to say that some of the mockery and backlash that we are able to create is actually successful.
00:01:42.000And we're so used to kind of being outraged about things and nothing actually improving.
00:01:47.000Well, the Department of Homeland Security, as you well know, DHS, came out a couple weeks ago with their new Ministry of Truth, the Orwellian Surveillance Board that was going to be chaired by the very sad individual, Nina Jankowicz, with a really bizarre singing routine and kind of the perpetually sarcastic and ironic tone that she takes to all things politics.
00:02:12.000So Nina Jankowicz was supposed to run this thing, 33 years old, author of How to Lose the Information War and How to Be a Woman Online.
00:02:20.000Of course, the question is, what is a woman exactly, Nina Jankowicz?
00:02:24.000She was relentlessly mocked by this program included, not because she's just a random person.
00:02:30.000We don't make a habit of doing that, but because she was going to have a badge, going to be able to investigate people because she didn't like their tweets.
00:03:01.000You're not up to online chatter, it seems, when your own words are held against you.
00:03:05.000And the Biden regime has now paused the Disinformation Government's Board, and they are considering it shutting it down all the way together.
00:03:14.000Nina Jankowicz has resigned and she's gone back to now go write fan fiction for Harry Potter or whatever.
00:03:55.000And I think when Bill Maher went all in, the liberal intelligentsia said, Yeah, you know, the full court Orwellian thing, where it's literally called the disinformation board, probably too much.
00:04:06.000Taylor Lorenz, fellow degenerate person on Twitter who does nothing better but tries to unmask identities of the libs of TikTok, has said, quote, Scoop, just three weeks after its announcement, the Disinformation Governance Board is being paused, and intra-departmental DHS working groups focused on disinformation have been suspended.
00:04:30.000Nina Jankowicz is considering leaving.
00:04:34.000I will not read your story, Taylor Lorenz.
00:04:37.000Jack Poseobic is largely to thank for this.
00:04:40.000They're saying to blame for it, the wonderful Jack Pesobic from Turning Point USA, Human Events Daily.
00:04:46.000The Washington Post writes: Just hours after Jankowicz tweeted about her new job, the far-right influencer Jack Poseobic posted a tweet accusing the Biden administration of creating a ministry of truth.
00:04:57.000By the end of the day, there were 53,235 posts on Twitter mentioning the Disinformation Governance Board, many referencing Jankowicz by name, according to a report by Advanced Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that conducts public interest research.
00:05:12.000In the days following that number, skyrocketed.
00:05:14.000What I love about this is that there are think tanks that are funded on the left where their full-time job is to say, hey, what went wrong with this thing?
00:05:27.000They had to do a whole study and analysis.
00:05:31.000The Advanced Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization who did a whole study of, so where did we go wrong here?
00:05:38.000Of course, it wasn't the Mary Poppins singing.
00:05:40.000It wasn't the really bizarre like Harry Potter mentions.
00:05:45.000It wasn't her constantly sarcastic, ironic tone towards everything.
00:05:49.000It wasn't the fact where she said she just wants to be able to censor political dissidents, or the fact that you just kind of have a child running the disinformation board.
00:06:22.000One of the reasons why I think they're pausing this is it was such an extreme, flagrant, defiant, public measure and move to try to stifle and silence speech in our country.
00:06:38.000That the Biden regime had so many problems, they said, oh, my goodness, is the woman singer still around?
00:06:43.000Can we just make one thing less dramatic?
00:06:47.000Now, mind you, this all was kind of bubbling up because in the last couple of days, she was supposed to testify in front of Congress.
00:09:30.000Sometimes you got to pinpoint exactly what they're doing.
00:09:33.000This should give you a shot of optimism because you think anywhere in the cards or the plans the last couple weeks was to basically bend the knee and show a sign of weakness?
00:09:58.000You see, they thought it would be a good idea to have a young woman who understands how to log into thefacebook.com.
00:10:05.000You see, having some sort of octogenarian would have been like, what's TikTok?
00:10:08.000Again, no, no, no, but having Nina Jankowitz, the perpetually sarcastic, ironic, sardonic Mary Poppins Harry Potter girl, they thought it would be a cool thing to be able to win people over.
00:10:24.000And now we got to make sure it goes to completion.
00:10:26.000Disassemble the board and make sure it never happens again.
00:10:29.000It is not a role of the federal government to have a ministry of truth, an Orwellian construct that polices speech and tells you what is true and not true.
00:10:58.000With the left in a total panic over Twitter and DHS essentially creating their own Ministry of Truth, it is safe to say we're facing the biggest threat to the First Amendment in our lifetime.
00:11:06.000That's why I'm proud to support Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.
00:11:11.000They offer broad nationwide coverage, so you get the same great service without funding the major carriers who donate to the left.
00:11:17.000Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget, and their U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
00:11:23.000Most importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious liberty, the rights given to you by God and protected in the Constitution, and the sanctity of life.
00:12:47.000When you look at the turnout and the trends for the Republican Party, and I want to play Cut 52 in a second, which is Representative Elise Stefanik saying if you look at the state of Pennsylvania, 62% of unaffiliated voters broke for and voted for the Republican Party.
00:13:04.000So you can see the energy and the enthusiasm is there.
00:13:07.000Let's play Cut 52, and then I want to pair that with Cut 4.
00:13:11.000My top line thoughts, Harris, was this was a big night for the Republican Party.
00:13:15.000Here are some important statistics that haven't been covered yet, but are really an indicator of how big this red wave is going to be this November.
00:13:22.000This was the highest Republican turnout across the board in a primary in over two decades.
00:13:28.000Also, if you look at the state of Pennsylvania, 62% of unaffiliated voters broke for and voted for the Republican Party.
00:13:35.000So you can see the energy is there, the enthusiasm is there.
00:13:38.000We got to continue to work to make the case about how we will save this country from the destruction we're seeing under unified, failed, far-left Democrat government.
00:13:49.000Pennsylvania is a perfect example of a state that used to lean center-left, but now it's a legitimate battleground state thanks to the leadership of President Trump and bringing out that muscular class.
00:13:59.000Now, the Democrat running is this kind of fake populist.
00:14:04.000They certainly know how to pretend to be in the demographic they're trying to win over.
00:14:09.000You look at this guy, John Fetterman, and we do wish him a speedy recovery.
00:14:13.000Not trying to conflate the two things, but he certainly, just from like a political standpoint, looks like a perfect every like he looks like a muscular labor steel worker, coal miner, truck driver type guy.
00:14:28.000He walks around with the shorts and the sweatshirt.
00:14:49.000Voters' views about the economy begin to harden in an election year around May.
00:14:53.000That theory holds Democrats are in some serious trouble right now because in our new NBC news poll, just 16% say the country's headed in the right direction, while a whopping 75% say we're on the wrong track.
00:15:04.000In fact, that wrong track number has been 70-plus for seven months, which in the past has signaled big losses for the governing party.
00:15:10.000President Biden's numbers have hit a new low.
00:15:12.000Only 39% approve of his job performance against 56% who disapprove.
00:15:44.000You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:15:46.000They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:15:54.000So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.
00:18:25.000And the great thing is we didn't have to deal with the lake effects snow in central Texas.
00:18:30.000So 68 degrees in February is a lot better than negative 10 wind chill.
00:18:36.000And then from there, Baylor's got a great academic reputation.
00:18:43.000Obviously, being the largest Baptist school, spiritually, you can pour into people.
00:18:48.000And we call it preparing champions for life.
00:18:51.000It's character formation, academics, success, and then spiritual growth, along with athletic excellence.
00:19:00.000And so with us, it was just recruiting to our niche.
00:19:03.000People that would want to send their sons and daughters to a place like Baylor and have a chance to compete at the highest level and win the national championship.
00:19:42.000So With us, the first four years really was trying to build a roster.
00:19:49.000And then in year five, we go to the NCA tournament.
00:19:52.000When I first got to Baylor, my dad, who's a Hall of Fame coach and somebody that I had the privilege to coach under and then become the head coach at Valparaiso University for a year before coming down here.
00:20:05.000But at Valpo, the first four or five years were really tough on him.
00:20:10.000And his advice was, I'm going to take you through the book of Job while you're getting this program started.
00:20:17.000By year four, I'm like, does the book of Job ever end?
00:20:21.000You know, I mean, like, is there other books in the Bible?
00:20:24.000So, but, but anyway, we've always been a Christ-centered program.
00:20:44.000People all want to be a part of that kind of team.
00:20:46.000They want to be at work for a boss like that.
00:20:49.000They want to be in an organization like that.
00:20:52.000So in the Bible, you know, teacher, what's the greatest commandment of the law?
00:20:57.000Love your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbors yourself.
00:21:00.000And at Baylor, we try to put others first.
00:21:03.000And it's fun being a part of teams like that.
00:21:06.000Well, talk about how that works in the highly competitive atmosphere of college sports.
00:21:10.000I mean, I have the college teams that I like.
00:21:13.000And I mean, fans could be pretty brutal.
00:21:15.000I mean, especially alumni and, you know, people that are given to the program, given to the university, and a lot of pressure for you to kind of deliver and to perform.
00:21:23.000So talk to us about how that acronym, you know, Jesus others yourself, how does that play out when you're now in the suite 16, you're in the elite eight.
00:21:31.000You know, talk about how you properly prioritize your day and how you teach these young men to look vertically, not just look inwardly at themselves all the time.
00:23:54.000And so just talk about how important it was to have the right assistance in place, what you learned along the way to be able to kind of put that team together.
00:24:02.000And, you know, the book talks a lot about this.
00:24:05.000I encourage everyone to pick up a copy of what do you think are some of the biggest lessons as a personal leader that you developed over the last couple of years, especially with all the trials and kind of difficulty it was to be a basketball coach with everything that happened the last couple of years.
00:24:22.000Well, we always say this smart take from the strong.
00:24:25.000So you're always trying to learn from someone else.
00:24:27.000And I think there's a lot of great Christian leaders out there.
00:24:30.000I think sometimes we're not in places where we can talk or feel we can talk about our faith as much as we'd like to.
00:24:39.000At the end of the day, that I'm blessed to work in a university where I can.
00:24:44.000And with that, I know that you look at our staff and who we've surrounded ourselves with.
00:24:52.000To me, it's not the best X and O person.
00:24:57.000It's not the hardest worker, maybe the most talented recruiter.
00:25:39.000If you don't have players got to have talent, they got to have ability, but if they don't fit your system and what you're about, your culture, the character that you want, they're not going to have fun on that team and they're not going to thrive on that team.
00:25:53.000And we're not going to have fun coaching them.
00:25:56.000And again, life is too short to be surrounded by people, energy vampires, people that take away from you.
00:26:02.000You want people to inspire, motivate, that you can help develop and lead.
00:26:05.000And you're not saying everybody's a saint.
00:26:30.000But we do have, we do, we do need fans that appreciate what we stand for more than just X's and O's and wins and losses.
00:26:40.000Every college coach has to be under that kind of pressure from alumni and kind of Monday morning quarterbacks.
00:26:46.000But considering how far you've brought the Baylor program, I think every Baylor fan needs to have a lot of gratitude, especially considering the success the last couple of years.
00:26:55.000And so I want to kind of read one of the quotes here, which I really enjoy, which is, God loves us enough to meet us where we are, but he loves us too much to leave us there.
00:27:13.000Early on in my faith, I thought that I get to heaven based on the grading curve, right?
00:27:20.000Like God's going to want some people in heaven.
00:27:22.000And if I'm going to church more than my friends, if I'm cursing less than my friends, if I'm doing this and that better than them, then surely someone's got to get up there.
00:27:33.000But then the more you read the Bible and you understand that all of us sin, none of us earn our way into heaven.
00:28:47.000The verse that goes along with it is, Do not know that in a race, all the runners run, but only get one gets the prize.
00:28:54.000Run in such a way as to get the prize.
00:28:56.000And it talks about the national championship game and kind of leading up to that.
00:29:02.000And there's another great quote here in the book: I pray that as a program, we use the platform that God has given us to help point people towards what true victory looks like.
00:29:10.000That's a challenge when you're dealing with college kids that all of a sudden are on top of the world.
00:29:15.000What's your advice to our younger listeners here?
00:29:17.000Just stay anchored and keep their faith first, Coach Drew.
00:29:21.000Because, you know, when you win the national title, you're a pretty big deal.
00:29:24.000How do you kind of keep everyone in check after such a big victory like that?
00:29:28.000Well, first and foremost, hopefully, we teach fundamentals every day in basketball.
00:29:32.000And the fundamentals are, hopefully, when they're giving interviews, they're doing joy interviews, which is giving credit to Jesus and then others, their teammates, and then themselves last.
00:29:41.000We always say greater levels, greater devils.
00:29:44.000And so for 100 people that can handle failure, maybe only one can handle success.
00:29:52.000So at the end of the day, the place everyone wants to go is to the top.
00:30:01.000So you got to be more grounded than anybody else.
00:30:04.000And we talk about that with the players all the time.
00:30:07.000And it's a great platform that God has given us.
00:30:11.000That's hence why we wrote the book, just to share how He's blessed us and then acknowledge what the players that have sacrificed and how they've sacrificed and the whole Baylor family to help us get to this level.
00:30:24.000And there's things in there for business leaders.
00:30:27.000Just, I mean, I have Christian friends that they'll do voluntary breakfasts where they'll serve breakfast and there'll be a Bible study or lunches.
00:30:39.000They'll serve food for lunch and prayer time with their employees.
00:30:43.000And I mean, there's so many different ways to impact people.
00:30:46.000It's amazing just if you try to follow what Jesus did in the Bible.
00:30:51.000I mean, so often lessons were learned over meals, and those are great opportunities to share your faith and courage.
00:31:01.000So there's a lot of different things in there that hopefully motivate, inspire, and allow people to think outside the box.
00:31:07.000Because again, going back to your first thing, I think there's a lot of great Christian leaders out there, and everyone just needs sometimes encouragement.
00:31:15.000And I know with us, we've always had a Christ-centered program, but when Clemson won the national title and Dabo talked about their culture of joy and what joy meant to them, and he got it from Tony Dungy.
00:31:27.000inspired me to make it simpler how we do things and reinforce how we do things.
00:31:33.000And in coaching, we're always trying to apply the kiss theory, keep it simple, stupid.
00:31:38.000And the easier things are, the easier they are for people to understand and follow.
