00:01:29.000It would be a Wednesday, which means last night we had the Michigan primary, and everybody was watching for the hotly contested Democrat side of the ledger.
00:01:38.000Mike Rogers was uncontested on the Republican side, but it looks like it was a lot closer than we anticipated.
00:01:46.000But Abdul El Sayed did, I believe, pull it off, barring any surprises, but that's the race that's been called by the New York Times and others.
00:01:54.000He won 48.48% to 47.51%, a difference really of about, I mean, it's razor thin.
00:02:57.000We're all in agreement with the boss here about all that.
00:02:59.000Yeah, miracles happen in Wayne County, including more votes being cast than there are voters by a lot.
00:03:06.000Therefore, The communist, who is not liked in Detroit, is potentially in vote counter trouble.
00:03:11.000The radical left socialist has a real shot, and don't discount all of those fake mail and ballots that will surprisingly show up at the last moment.
00:03:19.000Get ready for another rigged election in November.
00:03:21.000We must vote for Mike Rogers and make Michigan too big to rig.
00:03:25.000So I interpreted this as there was funniness afoot in Michigan.
00:05:02.000It's getting harder and harder with all of this money, with all of the electioneering, with the machine problems that we haven't fixed, with the increase in mail in ballots.
00:05:10.000And so I look at that race and I say, well, what do we know so far?
00:05:32.000They were probably doing the things that Democrats do in Democrat states to get their establishment candidate to win because she is the establishment candidate, which was probably handing out packs of cigarettes in the inner city and driving mail in ballots around to like nursing homes,
00:05:48.000like all the things that we know about happen.
00:05:52.000And so, I mean, Trump's upset that the establishment Democrat won because now you're going to have a DSA candidate versus, let's be real, the establishment Republican.
00:06:03.000And that will be really the first time we see a race like that in a statewide race in a purple state.
00:06:09.000So I think the 26th race for Michigan Senate all of a sudden got really interesting.
00:06:31.000Usually the more progressive candidate wins it.
00:06:33.000This tells me that establishment Dems, especially in some of these black urban cores, They didn't like El Sayed and they were working against him, doing all the shenanigans that we are now so accustomed to.
00:06:47.000And again, like there's an aspect of this that we'll just never know.
00:06:50.000But looking, for instance, at the Emerson crosstabs, and polling's not perfect, and the subsample, excuse my dog, for black voters is probably small and has a big margin of error.
00:07:03.000But their poll had Stevens winning by 40 among black voters.
00:07:07.000And then you look at inner city Dem, uh, You know, districts in Detroit, and it's like, okay, they're coming in 50, they're coming in higher than that in some places.
00:07:15.000Probably you have Clyburn that was shilling for the establishment candidate, probably out there, like knows how some of these electioneering rackets work.
00:07:26.000Um, so I think it's pretty clear, like, what probably happened, and we're seeing these kinds of things in other races too, where a lot of money gets poured in to help shore up an establishment candidate or ensure that they.
00:08:05.000Well, I want to ask a speculative question, Mark, which is there was also, there weren't super competitive Republican races.
00:08:11.000So their turnout was lower, but they had a primary for, District 8, that's the Flint area.
00:08:18.000And there was a candidate who dropped out, had stopped campaigning, Thomas Smith, and he actually defeated pretty easily, like 17 points here, Amir Hassan, who was the endorsed candidate by President Trump.
00:08:31.000And so I guess it's worth asking do you think this is some sort of name factor where people are getting spooked by these more Islamic sounding names?
00:08:41.000And could that end up playing a role in the general election where we have Mike Rogers, super generic?
00:08:46.000You know, English sounding name versus Abdul El Said.
00:08:51.000So I'm going to try and provide what I think are like the core, you know, logic that applies to all these races when we look at them is that you have your firm straight ticket Republican base voter and you have your firm straight ticket Republican Democrat voter.0.59
00:11:42.000And I would really bring up two issues capitalism versus socialism and Israel.
00:11:47.000And the reason that these young people are going towards candidates like this is because they think that older people are too focused on Israel and they think that people aren't focused on their economic livelihoods.
00:12:01.000So Overwhelmingly, the economy is the number one issue.
00:12:04.000The young voters, I could just rattle off a ton of polling about how they think the entire system is cooked against them.
00:12:10.000And what's really wild is that most under 40 voters, including Trump voters, people that voted for Trump, overwhelmingly support things that sound really socialist, like nationalizing industries or confiscating excess wealth.
00:12:22.000These are people who call themselves conservatives.
00:12:25.000I think it was over 50% of under 40 Trump voters in one of our polls said that they would actually vote for a socialist candidate.
00:12:37.000And things, in my opinion, that aren't going to work are putting Israel first or accusing other people of being a socialist.
00:12:44.000Young people don't really aren't scared by that.
00:12:47.000And even I don't think the xenophobia stuff, like we talked about before the break, is going to be very effective because I think these people want to be put first and are expecting authenticity and, quite frankly, the maturity to get into government and sort of like deliver on what you promised.
00:13:01.000And what that needs to be, if you want to capture the under, really, it's the under 50 voter now, in my opinion, is national economic populism.
00:13:10.000And I said this message to Trump last fall, and I wish there had been more listening, and maybe now it's too late.
00:13:19.000But what you need to give these people is something to vote for, a reason that Republicans long term will fix the problems that are structurally affecting young people in America.
00:13:31.000And that means providing some kind of meaningful alternative to socialism.
00:13:36.000Like granddaddy's capitalism is not going to win.
00:13:39.000It might win for a little longer as long as you keep dumping advertising into the boomer linear television slots.
00:13:46.000But there's going to be a tipping point, and the young people aren't going to be fighting the same right left battle.
00:13:51.000That the older, more ideological generations are.
00:13:54.000It's going to be over putting themselves first and getting what they want.
00:13:58.000And unfortunately for Israel, they've made themselves a pretty big whipping boy over this.0.73
00:14:02.000And I tried to say this was going to be a problem.
00:14:06.000And my advice for Trump wasn't like, don't do the Iran strike.
00:14:10.000It's make sure that you show people that you're still putting their economic situation first, despite whatever else you do.
00:14:17.000And they would let him get away with whatever.
00:14:18.000I mean, nobody really cared about Venezuela.
00:14:20.000We were in and out, and we were still focused on the economy and the domestic policy agenda.
00:14:25.000Yeah, and listen, I think this, what everything you're saying, I basically, you know, I think there's really well articulated there.
00:14:33.000And none of this should be interpreted as anti Israel or anti Semitic.
00:14:38.000No, I think we, you know, it bears repeating.1.00
00:14:41.000We think that stuff is brain rot and it's garbage from the pit of hell.0.95
00:14:44.000But when we're talking about pure politics, it's important to understand what young people are hearing, how they're interpreting it, and what they're voting on.0.96
00:14:51.000And your message here, I totally agree, is economy, economy, economy.
00:16:36.000Remember, Bernie Sanders was doing very well with young people long before the inflation was a problem.
00:16:41.000So, what we have is an issue where the workers aren't being represented.
00:16:44.000There's too much globalism, financialization, and rent seeking have ruined everything.
00:16:48.000And right now, again, I think that's the biggest opportunity because it was a natural extension of Trump's platform, which is to realize we have to change the way the economy works for people in this country.
00:17:01.000I don't know how effective it's going to be, but we have the same people that are trying to purify through subtraction, which is a term me and Rich both came up with.
00:17:08.000It's not an effective strategy to build a coalition.
00:17:54.000If you're a single conservative man in his late 30s to early 50s in Southern California, listen up Selective Search has an exclusive network of women ready for the real thing.0.68
00:18:04.000Here's the best part their candidate program is 100% free and confidential.
00:18:09.000Some of our closest friends, the show, have used Selective Search, and let me tell you, they're meeting great.
00:18:36.000Go to Selective Search.com California and start building the future you deserve.
00:18:44.000We have Coach Tubberville, the great senator from the state of Alabama, who's going to be the next governor of that state.
00:18:49.000We're sad to lose him from the Senate.
00:18:51.000But given how crazy the Senate is getting, I can imagine that selfishly you are probably looking forward to a change of pace there, Senator.
00:19:24.000The enemy is inside the gate, and they're coming hard.
00:19:28.000And unfortunately, our education system has pushed a lot of our younger kids.
00:19:32.000And then, of course, we have Democrats that are actually Democrats, but they're followers.
00:19:35.000They're not leaders, and they're following this socialist communist agenda to a T.
00:19:40.000And we're fighting it every day here, but we don't have enough fighters on our side, on the Republican side.
00:19:46.000You know, we think everything's going to run on autopilot and it's going to be okay.
00:19:50.000If we don't straighten out this country's voting, if we don't straighten out this country's immigration system, we're not going to make it.0.98
00:19:57.000And as you said, I'm going to go back to Alabama and we're, hey, we might build a 30 foot wall around our state because I know what's coming.
00:20:07.000I can, you know, you can just smell it out there that they want to take this country over and they're not, you know, they're a lot more aggressive than we are as Americans.
00:20:42.000growing up just 15 minutes away from me, children whose families had been here far longer than mine, who never got those same opportunities.
00:21:15.000I'll never forget we were doing a roundtable for our chapter leadership summit.
00:21:20.000And one of the girls around the table, Senator, said that maybe a solution was increasing the minimum wage, as if that would have any practical impact on anything other than making things more expensive.
00:21:34.000But this is a problem because this message is rosy, and I'm worried.
00:21:38.000That we are not as Republicans countering it with a positive vision of how our ideas are actually the ones that are going to work.
00:21:45.000And I'm worried we're not focused enough on that.
00:21:51.000I mean, there's no plan intact up here from the federal government that takes this back to our kids all over the country and explains to them the difference between socialism, communism, and being a capitalist country.
00:22:05.000They don't realize how good we have it here.
00:22:07.000Now, I can understand a lot of them going to these universities and getting a degree in sociology and spending $150,000 or borrowing $150,000 and getting out, and they can't get a job at Walmart because they didn't get a degree that actually you can get a job.
00:22:22.000Our universities have become a business instead of an educational institution.
00:22:30.000They enable all these woke professors that have been there for years that are on tenure to preach whatever they want to preach, and they're not controlled.
00:22:41.000So, we got a lot of problems, and President Trump wants to take education out of the federal government.
00:23:36.000We had a writer on Helen Andrews yesterday, and she talked about what should really frighten us is how easy these figures like Hassan Piker, like El Syed, these guys who.
00:23:49.000Maybe they themselves weren't born here, but how adept they are at using this lingo of white supremacy, of America as a racist country, as America as a nation that needs to atone and pay reparations,
00:24:03.000especially to people like themselves or their parents or their kids who only recently arrived here.
00:24:09.000And we were also discussing this in context.
00:24:13.000We still have Republicans on Capitol Hill who say we need more guest workers, more migration from the third world.
00:25:02.000We should be passing everything in the world, bust a filibuster, because folks, it is coming.
00:25:08.000When they get control, and it's not going to be too far down the road with the people we have elected now up here in the Senate and the House, by the way, that we're going to be controlled by these communists and it's going to be game, set, match.
00:29:05.000But for the love, Republicans, if you don't do your job, people in the middle, normies, people that are not clued in, are not going to come out and vote for you if you don't deliver.
00:29:16.000If you want to get elected again, deliver for the people.
00:29:20.000We're out here screaming and hollering, begging these people in DC to listen to us.
00:31:30.000We have to start playing hardball and get the Save America Act across the line.
00:31:34.000It will not make a lot of difference in this election coming up.
00:31:38.000But the years to come, if we don't, we're going to lose more and more of these states that are going to figure this out on how to cheat, how to change balance, do the things they need to do, and this country will be gone.
00:31:50.000I actually would disagree with you on this election, Coach Tubberville, for one very important reason, which I think, Andrew, you'd agree.
00:31:57.000We've been hearing about this all year the Save America Act.
00:32:02.000We've heard Republican senators, some of the ones who are now slow playing it or saying we can't pass it, were making noises, oh, yeah, we're working on this.
00:32:10.000We think we can find a way to get it through.
00:32:12.000And they've just done these delay tactics, delay tactics, delay tactics all year.
00:32:16.000And if they get all the way to election day and it's not passed and everyone decides they were lying to us this whole year, it's going to murder our turnout.
00:32:24.000They, you practically at this point, I think, have an obligation to pass it or the entire base is going to feel like they were cheated in that decision.
00:32:31.000I would say, coach, you know, you go back to that Thune clip, he's saying, Am I the only one in Washington who can count to 50?
00:32:46.000Go out on the floor and do the talking filibuster like Senator Lee has been proposing and put names on the board so we know who to primary next.
00:32:54.000If you're going to vote against this, then I want to know.
00:34:42.000People don't understand what we're up against.
00:34:44.000The demographic landslide that we're facing as a country, the fact that we've got distractions in the Middle East instead of focusing domestically, this is serious business.0.52
00:34:54.000We got one last shot at this, and we got to get it done.0.65
00:35:36.000We better get upwards of 50, 60, 70% in some of these states, or we're going to get whitewashed.
00:35:44.000People are going to run right over the top of us, and especially these states that are going to jam the ballot boxes with all these fake ballots.
00:36:31.000If you're struggling with cravings, bloating, and stubborn weight gain, your gut health is probably playing a bigger role than you think.
00:36:38.000A damaged microbiome can affect everything from inflammation and digestion to cravings and weight gain.
00:36:44.000And with today's processed foods and environmental toxin, a lot of people's digestive health is taking a big major hit, which is why taking care of your gut health may be more important now than ever before.
00:36:56.000That's where a fermented food called kimchi can make a real difference.
00:37:00.000Kimchi is naturally rich in over 900 probiotic strains that help support gut bacteria.
00:37:06.000Because when your gut bacteria are properly supported, your body is better able to process food efficiently, regulate cravings, and support digestion, even maintain a healthier metabolism overall.
00:37:17.000Studies show that eating kimchi can reduce your body fat by 31.8%.
00:37:22.000But supporting your gut microbiome takes consistency, and most people aren't eating kimchi every day because of the taste, the smell, the hassle that comes with getting it.
00:37:31.000That's why Brightcore created Kimchi One, delivering the benefits of fermented kimchi in a convenient capsule form to help restore your gut's natural balance every day.
00:37:40.000Because when your body is functioning properly from the inside out, everything else becomes easier.

00:40:45.000However, I think this plays into just this idea that we see on social media about capitalism and socialism, and capitalism is sometimes just portrayed as greed.
00:40:56.000But here's how I always see really the value statement capitalism values freedom.
00:41:03.000And that is why it is not a perfect system, it's the best system that we've found economically because it values liberty, it values self determination, it values that you get to.
00:41:17.000Spend your own money and you get to be generous if you choose so.
00:41:21.000Because generosity has to be a choice.
00:41:23.000The other option is socialism, which values fairness.
00:41:27.000And the government wants to take, you know, seize your capital and then they give it out.
00:41:33.000That's not generosity because you can't be generous with someone else's finances, with someone else's money.
00:41:38.000And so we have to be aware of what the foundation should be biblical morality, because that provides the guardrails for capitalism to succeed.
00:42:18.000God didn't say, hey, Adam and Eve, you're done making choices, robots now.
00:42:23.000No, He said, Essentially, God says, I am going to risk what is on the other side of giving freedom, which is they could use that freedom to be generous or to be selfish.
00:42:36.000So, capitalism is the most biblical economic system that we have because it values freedom and choice, which is something the Bible has a lot to say about, and stewardship and generosity.
00:43:17.000And I think you want to take the long view here.
00:43:19.000You mentioned that capitalism has given America the wealth to be generous.
00:43:24.000And I think it's worth reminding people how unusual America is in that regard, that we are a nation.
00:43:30.000Of givers in our own communities and around the world.
00:43:33.000Basically, there are almost entire countries that are reliant on the charitable giving of Americans.
00:43:38.000That America is the country that produces missionaries, far more missionaries than any other country come out of America to go around the world.
00:43:46.000And I think that's directly linked to our free market system.
00:43:50.000Even our way of our very energetic church environment, the way that there is so many different competing Protestant churches, Catholic churches, that they're.
00:44:03.000And I think that's actually a side effect of having this capitalist worldview that if you don't like the way something works, you can go and make your own version of it.
00:44:12.000And what we see in socialist countries is everyone instead, they lose the capacity to do that.
00:44:17.000It's always the state should come in and bail me out.
00:45:07.000Of the human spirit, of the way we are wired to freely exchange goods and services.
00:45:13.000And so there's no, hopefully, there's no lack of clarity on that front.
00:45:18.000And so, but I love what you're bringing in.
00:45:21.000What so much of the solution to our problems in this country is not more government, it's we need to be better people.
00:45:29.000We need to cry out to the Lord to make our country great from a character standpoint, from a fade standpoint.
00:45:37.000That's the answer to so many of our problems.
00:45:39.000And when we invite government in, it usually, you know, in Reagan's famous words, I'm not a huge Reagan quoter all the time, but, you know, the scariest words in the English language is I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
00:46:39.000But you know, when they realize fairness, Uh, is not the greatest value is when you go to a school and you say, Hey, uh, equal opportunity, right?
00:47:47.000But it's sort of a way of saying we're going to apply certain sensible regulations to make sure that we're directing and incentivizing capital in the country in ways that benefit the nation, right?
00:48:01.000So, as opposed to offshoring and hollowing out our industrial base and shipping all the jobs off to China in exchange for rubber trinkets that's going to end up in the trash someday, we're actually going to incentivize through tax code regulation that companies invest here,
00:48:16.000that they hire American, that they do things that are good for the American population.
00:48:19.000So, you know, Jack wrote a whole book.
00:48:22.000Hitting communism and attacking communism by no means.
00:48:26.000I think it would be a very unfair interpretation of his comments to say that he was somehow against capitalism.
00:48:33.000But I do think that this is a worthwhile debate to have.
00:48:36.000And I think we're going to be having it ahead of 2028 about the right way to talk about capitalism.
00:48:42.000And my concern, and then the floor will be yours, is that if we don't do this, young people are so inundated by this pro socialism message that they're going to say, well, I don't want the old way as it's been.
00:48:53.000And this is a way to sort of filter that message and thread the needle and say, hey, we're hearing your concerns that the middle class, working class is getting hammered in some ways, especially when it comes to burritos and affordability, but we're not ditching capitalism.
00:49:09.000Yeah, I think when it gets down into the nitty gritty, which is one of the reasons why, you know, clipping up something can be so destructive because you take something out of context.
00:49:20.000We take one verse out of context and we can make it say whatever we want.
00:49:23.000And so I think what we have to constantly.
00:49:28.000Go back to, unfortunately, is defining terms.
00:49:31.000What do you mean when you say capitalists?
00:49:33.000And if someone says, Oh, you know, I'm greedy, you know, money hungry, you're like, Okay, that's not what I mean by capitalism.
00:49:40.000I mean, by capitalism, I mean the economic structure in which we value freedom of exchange, freedom of movement, you know, generosity, all those things, liberty.
00:49:53.000And so we have to define those terms and then juxtapose to the other options.
00:49:59.000When you're talking about, you know, Populism, then now we're, like you said, threading a needle.
00:50:14.000And the America First movement has then taken that to mean, okay, America first.
00:50:18.000And now we have to define do we mean America first or America only?
00:50:21.000Because if we have this biblical foundation that we're talking about, the Bible has a lot to say about the church caring for orphans and widows, the Good Samaritan caring for your neighbor.
00:50:32.000And so As long as we mean America first, like the analogy often given of the oxygen mask coming down on the airplane and putting yours on first, because if I'm incapacitated, I can't help my neighbor.
00:50:47.000But if we're saying America only, that we shouldn't be involved anywhere outside of our own borders, well, that's taking away the biblical principle of generosity and kindness and loving your neighbor.
00:51:00.000So that's, I kind of always find myself having to go back to redefining terms that have been.
00:51:07.000Outlandishly used in personified to mean one small definition.
00:51:12.000Capitalism means greed or whatever it is.
00:51:30.000He believed that the monopolies that had developed during the Gilded Age had basically resulted in, you know, I guess excessive prices for consumers, excessive influence among a very elite oligarchy that had developed,
00:51:44.000whether that be economic influence or political influence.
00:51:47.000And so he broke up some of those companies.
00:51:50.000And there are benefits that could be had from those types of things.0.97
00:51:53.000Now, another limit that we put on capital is immigration, right?1.00
00:51:57.000Big businesses would love to flood the nation with unfettered mass migration of third worlders and cheap slave labor.1.00
00:52:05.000And we have rejected that at the ballot box when we elected President Trump.1.00
00:52:08.000Now, that doesn't mean that you have to be an absolutist on any of those things, but it does mean that obviously there are sensible things that you can do to regulate or incentivize the movement of capital.
00:52:22.000And I think it's actually worth emphasizing that point that a friend of mine pointed out.
00:52:28.000I've been talking to him about this, and he says one of the better ways, if you want to defend capitalism, is just really defend against all the other stuff they want.0.98
00:52:35.000Because so many of the people who are complaining about capitalism, they're actually totally in league with them on let's bring in the entire third world here.0.93
00:52:44.000So they'll actually concede them that point and say, oh, actually, yeah, let's give big business what they want endless migrant labor, endless slave labor, endless, like literally illegal immigrants.0.98
00:55:17.000I'm going to give you a little bio here.
00:55:18.000You're the creator of the MyCircadian app.
00:55:21.000You're board certified in applied quantum biology by the American Naturopathic Medical Board.
00:55:26.000You've spent over 15 years of working one on one with clients to optimize nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset.
00:55:32.000Your goal is to shift the way we think about circadian rhythms, health, nutrition, and light so we can better integrate those into our life.
00:55:39.000And it doesn't matter what stage of life or anything like that.
00:56:03.000I mean, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and every single circadian scientist that I have ever spoken with is on the time of permanent standard time.
00:56:14.000That's the one that aligns with our biological clock.
00:56:16.000We have Mountains of evidence to show how important it is for anxiety, depression, obesity, heart health.
00:56:23.000I mean, we have the research available.
00:56:26.000And I have, I saw the, I guess it was a statement Trump put out yesterday that Riley was kind enough to send me and kind of have looked through a lot of that.
00:56:35.000And I have a lot of thoughts on some of the things he said.
00:56:40.000There's some half truths in there, but I'm definitely on team permanent standard.
00:56:53.000For many years, the vast majority of Americans have asked to make daylight savings time permanent, but no administration has been able to get it done until now.
00:57:00.000I'm proud to announce the House of Representatives has passed the bill and it has now gone to the Senate for final approval.
00:57:05.000People are sick and tired of having to change their clocks twice a year.
00:57:24.000Was made that it is also bad for your health and the anxiety it creates.
00:57:27.000Leading medical, crime, and economic studies have shown that ceasing the biannual time change, giving us one extra hour of natural sunlight in the evenings, will help decrease robbery and murder rates, reduce car accidents, et cetera, et cetera.
00:57:41.000So, Danny on our team grew up in the upper Midwest.
00:57:44.000He says that on Standard Time in the winter, I believe I'm getting this right Standard Time in the winter, it was basically dark all morning long.
00:59:18.000They thought they wanted it because it's kind of the same thing happening again.
00:59:21.000Everyone, we're going to have this extra hour and we're not really getting anything extra.
00:59:25.000We still have to deal with winter, which is a shorter photo period.
00:59:30.000You know, it's That's not being talked about.
00:59:32.000And so, what we're taking off the table is the ability for millions of people to actually get the morning light signal, which, as I've said, has robust data around it that they need in order to avoid a lot of health problems.
01:00:55.000So you go, I've heard people tell me that when it in the morning, you got to sort of expose your body to natural sunlight to sort of kick your body into gear.
01:01:11.000It's called the superchismatic nucleus.
01:01:14.000And when the eyes get this signal from light, it signals every single cell and organ system in your body, which also runs on a circadian clock, which is why in my practice, I have people reversing autoimmune conditions, getting pregnant after failed fertility treatments.
01:01:29.000I mean, I have a huge bank of people who have reversed health issues by simply doing this practice of going outside in the morning.
01:01:38.000So, we, like I said, the circadian research is robust here.
01:01:43.000The argument I get because I've spoken out on this a little bit on social media and gotten this is one topic.
01:01:48.000Whenever I talk about it online, people get so angry.
01:02:07.000I just think that they don't really understand how this works because it's like I've heard this old Indian proverb that says you're taking a blanket and Chopping, you know, tearing off the top part of it and trying to sew it onto the bottom and say acting like it's better.
01:02:23.000It's not because if you don't get that signal in your eyes in the morning, if you don't get enough brightness, you're not clearing residual melatonin.
01:02:32.000You are not resetting those circadian clocks that influence your appetite regulation, mood.
01:02:38.000All of those things need that bright morning signal.
01:02:41.000So you might get this extra hour, but guess what?
01:02:43.000You're going to feel kind of depressed and.
01:02:46.000Be at risk for obesity, lethargy, because you never got that proper wake up signal.
01:02:51.000That again, the circadian science is pretty robust around this topic.
01:02:58.000I'm plugging in sunrise in different cities on January 1st right now, and then add an hour if we were imagining permanent daylight savings time.
01:03:05.000It would be you wouldn't have the sun come up in like Minneapolis until about 9 a.m. if we were on permanent daylight savings time.
01:03:13.000This is January 1st, so one of the shorter days of the year.
01:03:30.000One of the things that really makes this extreme, school starts so early because they want to make it so parents can take their kids to school and then go in.
01:03:39.000So you'll have elementary kids getting up two, three hours before sunrise in these places so they can go to school.
01:04:25.000And now we're going to strip away the ability for them to get that bright light signal, which could potentially offset some of the negative impact of what they're already up against as a generation.
01:04:39.000I mean, it just feels like we're making the right choice in the sense that we're trying to get rid of this pesky clock change, which seems, I mean, it seems like everybody's basically against that.
01:04:50.000And I would love to hear your thoughts out in the audience.
01:04:52.000Send us an email, freedom at charliekirk.com, if you have any questions as well.
01:05:04.000It sounds like we need that light signal early in the morning, which is something I've heard about.
01:05:10.000And actually, Have tried it and just stood out there and tried to get sun in the morning.
01:05:13.000You do kind of feel revived and awake a little bit faster.
01:05:17.000Why don't you tell us about your My Circadian app, Sarah?
01:05:21.000Yeah, I've been coaching people in this circadian health space for the last number of years after actually having my own miracle baby in my mid 40s.
01:05:37.000And circadian lifestyle helped make that possible.
01:05:41.000And so I wanted an app that helped people understand.
01:05:44.000When sunrise happened for them, when UVA, which we were talking a little bit about this morning light, UVA is when you're making serotonin, dopamine, beta endorphin, these appetite hormones all come online.
01:05:55.000And I wanted them to understand when that was, as well as when they could make vitamin D because you can't make it year round.
01:06:01.000And then measure lux, which is this most well studied measurement of light.
01:06:08.000You want to get a 10,000 lux threshold in the morning and you want to keep your lux below 10 at night, the three hours leading up to bed, and zero in your bedroom.
01:06:28.000Oh, man, because like I said, every single cell and organ system in your body is impacted by the signal of light.
01:06:34.000Your hormones run on a circadian rhythm.
01:06:36.000And that morning sunlight signal is incredibly important for what we call the HPA axis, which is going to signal your master hormone, pregnenolone, to talk to the other sex hormones.
01:06:46.000So, if you're not making these hormones, especially in the morning, you're going to deal with Fertility issues.
01:06:52.000And then we have the issue at night.1.00
01:06:54.000It was women used to actually cycle with the moon.
01:06:57.000We have some really interesting data that came out in around 2010 that showed women stopped cycling.
01:07:03.000Actually, the research came out in 2022.
01:07:05.000It was done in 2010 that showed women cycled with the moon up until that time.
01:07:50.000If a woman wants to get pregnant and she just wants to make sure everything's, you know, her circadian rhythms are right, what time do you recommend stopping the scrolling?0.86
01:08:01.000I mean, the science is 10 lux and below the three hours leading up to bedtime.0.53
01:08:06.000So, you get more than 10 lux off your cell phone screen, even if you turn it all the way dark.
01:08:15.000I mean, and that is enough to keep the brain making cortisol and restart, kickstart that sex steroid hormone pathway at night, which is the opposite of what we want.
01:08:25.000We want melatonin to come in because melatonin is actually a very reproductive, powerful reproductive hormone.
01:08:32.000It's actually a very powerful hormone for cancer prevention.
01:08:36.000I mean, so many things that if you look at the data with artificial light at night and cancer, you will be astounded.
01:08:45.000And a way a lot of people have tried to deal with this, certainly on large computers, they'll get blue light filters so that, you know, basically makes their screen orange at night.
01:08:54.000I know I definitely have seen women, they'll get, I think they get kind of these spectacles that are supposed to filter out blue light or whatever.
01:09:08.000Does that do enough or is that just sort of putting a band aid over it that doesn't do that much and you're better just not using it at all?
01:09:18.000And that's why I have that Lux meter within the app because you can, you have to use your partner's phone to measure what's coming off your phone.
01:09:25.000Keep it below 10, turn your blue light filter on, wear your blue blockers.
01:09:29.000But the other thing that can keep your brain making cortisol is the brain waves that you're going to essentially make from being on your phone.
01:09:37.000You're going to stay in a high beta state, which can also.
01:09:42.000So there's a fine line you have to walk with it.
01:09:45.000When I want people to be compliant, I'm going to say get the blue blockers, turn the dimness down on your phone, measure it, get red light bulbs in your home.
01:09:54.000But at the end of the day, I want you powered down and sleeping so you can make all that melatonin at night and reap those health benefits.
01:10:38.000Well, the great thing I love about the app is that you can take your blue blockers, put them over the lens, and measure at eye level because I like to watch a show every Sunday night.
01:11:26.000Is it better to read really trashy novels or something that are like low brain effort versus, I don't know, philosophy?
01:11:34.000I mean, it's really dependent on the person.
01:11:36.000I think you'd probably be fine with philosophy or history rather than, you know, murder mysteries or some of the trashy novels people like to read that might get you upset or emotional.
01:11:46.000You're probably safe with what you're reading, in my opinion.
01:12:33.000Look into Dr. Glenn Jeffrey, look at his research on the mitochondria.
01:12:36.000Since you guys are talking mitochondria, look at how red light and near infrared impacts mitochondria positive and blue light specifically impacts mitochondria negative.
01:12:46.000And our indoor environments are completely devoid of red and infrared light since we got rid of the incandescent bulb.
01:12:52.000And we are in these blue rich heavy environments that are actually slowing down our mitochondria.
01:12:58.000Slowing down our metabolism and it's created.
