00:00:57.480 And we also spent some time today talking about, you know, stopping the noise just a bit and noticing how good things really are.

00:01:07.280 And if we didn't have the leadership that we have globally, would we be at each other's throats?

00:01:14.040 I'm going to tell you a story today of the silence of Christmas morning in history and what we can learn.

00:01:21.480 Also, how the world is becoming a much better place and somebody that maybe you can help out.

00:01:28.380 Lance Robinson, a guy who found out his four-year-old has stage four cancer and isn't asking for anything except prayers.

00:01:38.040 Prayers for Davis.

00:01:41.260 All coming up on today's podcast.

00:01:46.120 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:50.620 It's Tuesday, December 18th.

00:01:56.040 Glenn Beck.

00:01:58.080 Think of how connected we are.

00:02:00.300 A friend wrote to me and said, I have a friend who started this for a friend.

00:02:10.720 Could you just look into it?

00:02:13.480 I went online and I saw this cute little four-year-old.

00:02:19.900 Do you have jingle bells?

00:02:21.540 Here he is singing jingle bells.

00:02:23.780 Okay, this is a kid, in case you're not watching on Blaze TV,

00:02:38.840 this is a kid who is singing jingle bells and he is in the doctor's office.

00:02:44.480 He has stage four cancer.

00:02:47.460 He doesn't know that.

00:02:48.480 But his parents, their whole life has changed.

00:02:55.520 And so I mentioned it last hour.

00:02:59.540 And, I mean, this audience is always amazing.

00:03:03.060 And so many of you reached out to PrayForDavis.com, PrayForDavis.com.

00:03:10.240 And we actually have his dad on the phone with us now.

00:03:16.120 Hi, Dad.

00:03:16.900 How are you?

00:03:18.320 Hey, Glenn.

00:03:19.100 How are you doing?

00:03:20.680 I'm good.

00:03:21.620 I am pleased to talk to you.

00:03:24.340 Lance Robinson is dad's name.

00:03:27.020 He is the father of the four-year-old cancer patient named Davis.

00:03:31.180 How is Davis, first of all?

00:03:33.880 You know, all things considered, he's doing pretty well.

00:03:36.300 He's still the, most days, he's still the happy, you know,

00:03:39.980 joyous little boy that he's been all along.

00:03:41.840 So we've been very blessed and thankful that, you know, he's responding well to chemo treatments

00:03:47.440 in terms of side effects so far.

00:03:49.660 We have somebody in our office that is going through chemo now, and it's just brutal on

00:03:55.820 an adult.

00:03:56.400 How are you explaining this to him?

00:04:00.160 You know, it's actually really hard to explain because he doesn't understand.

00:04:04.080 And other than the fact that when we originally went in, he was having pain in his abdomen.

00:04:08.600 Now that pain's gone, so when we have to explain, like, hey, Davis, we're going to the doctor

00:04:14.400 today for a chemo treatment, he hates it.

00:04:17.360 I mean, he really just, he gets so fearful and anxious about it, and all we can say is,

00:04:22.960 like, buddy, it's to help you, and he keeps saying, but, Daddy, I'm better.

00:04:27.160 I feel better, you know, but we just know that we have to go through this treatment plan.

00:04:31.760 So he has stage four, and it was in a tumor that they found because he had pain.

00:04:37.580 They thought it was appendicitis, but a good lab tech spotted this tumor, but it spread

00:04:45.000 in his body.

00:04:46.060 What are the, I don't mean to, but what is his prognosis?

00:04:52.920 You know, it's hard because they don't really talk about prognosis with the children.

00:04:57.140 And generally in children, because of how resilient they are, there's definitely a higher percentage

00:05:02.120 rate that survive cancer at every measure, by a year, by two years, by five years, or

00:05:08.200 whatever.

00:05:08.640 So the best that I can say is that, you know, with rhabdomyosarcoma, which is what he has,

00:05:15.940 they're kind of thinking it's like a 70, 60 to 70% chance, I think, right now that he could

00:05:21.840 make it through this and live for a long time.

00:05:24.440 Um, it's harder because, and this is crazy, but of these cases, they call it RMS, rhabdomyosarcoma.

00:05:31.860 But of these cases, he's only the ninth kid ever on record that had his origin tumor start

00:05:37.580 in his belly button like his.

00:05:39.800 So that's kind of throwing them for a loop.

00:05:43.540 But, um, yeah, it's just, it's, you know, for us, for my wife and I, Amanda and I, it's,

00:05:48.180 it's, uh, you know, we're right now, we're just trying to take it a day at a time.

00:05:51.920 And, and honestly, just, you know, continue to pray that God would heal him and that,

00:05:56.700 um, he wouldn't have symptoms from the chemo and everything.

00:06:00.780 But right now it's, that's the best I can say, 60 to 70% chance that he could, you know,

00:06:06.080 at least survive this from this original stent of cancer.

00:06:10.540 Davis, uh, has a, uh, an older daughter.

00:06:14.300 What's her name?

00:06:14.920 Uh, his sister is, her name's Lily.

00:06:17.400 Or his daughter, daughter, sorry, sister.

00:06:19.220 She's eight.

00:06:19.860 That's okay.

00:06:20.620 Um, Lily.

00:06:23.240 Lily?

00:06:23.840 Sorry.

00:06:24.560 How is she, how is she and how's mom holding up?

00:06:27.920 You know, Lily is, she's, I just love her so much.

00:06:31.080 She's an amazing little girl and, um, she's doing good, but she does, she does what I do,

00:06:36.140 which is she internalizes a lot of things.

00:06:38.700 And she tries to take care of her mom, which is just unbelievable to see.

00:06:43.380 You'll see Amanda get upset about something or, you know, in the hospital or whatever.

00:06:47.360 And you'll watch, I'll watch Lily go over and take care of her, try to cheer her up.

00:06:53.080 Um, so for her, you know, it's going to be really hard for a long time because even though

00:06:58.300 we are very trying to be as intentional as we can with her, you know, all the attention

00:07:01.960 right now is on her little brother.

00:07:03.960 And I think that's a hard thing because she cares for him and she knows what's going on and

00:07:07.860 she can understand a lot better about it.

00:07:10.220 But at the same time, she's missing out on a lot of things because we can't go places.

00:07:14.280 We can't, you know, we're missing out on church sometimes because we can't take Davis

00:07:18.440 there.

00:07:19.140 So I think it's just a hard road for her, especially like from a psychological standpoint.

00:07:25.880 Well, I know that you've only asked for, uh, prayers, um, but your friend on your website

00:07:31.460 has, uh, put up a place to donate because you guys are taking a massive, uh, financial,

00:07:37.060 uh, hit, uh, mom can no longer work and you run your own business. 0.97

00:07:42.040 And, uh, it's, it's, uh, very difficult.

00:07:44.340 If anybody wants to donate, you can go to pray for Davis, uh, dot com.

00:07:49.640 But I would, uh, I would ask the audience, uh, to please keep Lily in your prayers to

00:07:56.620 Lily is her name, right?

00:07:57.920 Yeah.

00:07:58.120 Yeah.

00:07:58.520 Please keep Lily in your prayers.

00:08:00.180 Um, especially this time of year.

00:08:03.420 I mean, here's this, this little girl who is just, um, you know, weathering a storm of

00:08:09.640 her life as well, and it will, uh, change her forever and hopefully it will change her

00:08:15.480 and the whole family for the better.

00:08:17.720 Um, God, God's will be done.

00:08:20.520 Um, Lance, thank you so much for talking to us.

00:08:23.880 Have a great Christmas.

00:08:25.120 Thank you for having me on.

00:08:26.060 You bet.

00:08:26.540 Thank you.

00:08:27.160 You bet.

00:08:27.420 Pray for Davis.com now that is the good use of technology.

00:08:38.960 When I first got into this, I couldn't have found out about this family.

00:08:45.380 I couldn't have seen pictures.

00:08:46.740 I couldn't have, I couldn't have had a picture or a video or audio of this cute four little

00:08:55.160 boy, four year old little boy.

00:08:57.420 I, I, I, I would have had a guy, had a letter.

00:09:01.780 Then I would have had to find the family, put them on the phone.

00:09:08.540 But how could people just give money, stuff it into an envelope?

00:09:13.440 Our life has been so greatly enhanced and our ability to help one another so greatly enhanced

00:09:25.480 by the same technology that can be used to destroy.

00:09:29.880 But that is the case with everything.

00:09:33.160 And we are either great creators or we are great destroyers.

00:09:43.780 It all goes back to what my father said to me.

00:09:46.420 We're the two most powerful words in any language.

00:09:51.100 And that is I am.

00:09:56.240 I am angry.

00:09:58.040 I am going to get vengeance.

00:10:01.260 I am weak.

00:10:02.920 I'm pathetic.

00:10:04.420 Or I am a healer.

00:10:06.780 I am a helper.

00:10:07.900 I am happy.

00:10:08.860 I am full of abundance.

00:10:12.400 I am going to share all that I have.

00:10:17.520 Glenn Beck.

00:10:18.520 So Allie Stuckey worked for us for I don't know how long. 1.00

00:10:23.380 And then CRTV stole her from us.

00:10:27.500 Stole her.

00:10:28.140 She, others might say, rescued her from us.

00:10:32.540 And then when this deal was going through for our merger, the one face that kept coming

00:10:39.180 to me was Allie going, oh, dear God, no, please.

00:10:43.380 No, no, please.

00:10:45.020 No.

00:10:46.200 Don't send me back there.

00:10:47.440 Right.

00:10:48.020 So I just wanted an honest, I mean, that's really what went through your head, wasn't

00:10:52.380 it?

00:10:52.500 No, it wasn't.

00:10:53.800 No, it wasn't.

00:10:54.660 I am very glad.

00:10:55.740 I've heard so many good things about the potential of this merger and all of them have come true

00:11:00.360 so far.

00:11:01.000 And I think it's only going to get better and better.

00:11:04.800 It is.

00:11:05.680 It's time that we all kind of come together and stand together and leave each other alone

00:11:09.020 and let everybody do their own thing.

00:11:12.000 You have just been remarkable.

00:11:15.160 Let's start with what happened.

00:11:17.240 And yesterday, how did you who are you tweeting this to and what has it turned into?

00:11:23.260 Because I read it and I thought, oh, my gosh, this is great.

00:11:25.940 So my tweet yesterday was exactly what you said.

00:11:30.820 If we are saying that young children or even teenagers are that they have the capacity to

00:11:38.260 consent to a sex change, to hormone blockers, to all of these things that we say are necessary

00:11:43.780 for gender transformation at a young age.

00:11:46.140 Why don't they also have the capacity to consent to a relationship with an older person or like you

00:11:50.920 posed a young child?

00:11:53.080 Why not?

00:11:53.840 What logically is actually stopping that?

00:11:55.860 And of course, the leftist blue checkmarks came out and drove saying that this is a ridiculous

00:12:00.980 connection, that this is the slippery slope fallacy.

00:12:04.020 But of course, they couldn't actually answer the question.

00:12:06.880 They couldn't say why logically that is different.

00:12:10.080 I knew that my mentions were going to go up in flames, but I think it's I think it's a

00:12:14.640 reasonable question to ask.

00:12:16.060 And I never got an answer to it.

00:12:17.860 Because you're just saying one is a really important decision.

00:12:21.200 So if you have the capacity to make one really important decision, why wouldn't you have the

00:12:25.760 capacity to make another very important decision?

00:12:27.480 Because there is no other reason we say consenting adults.

00:12:32.320 Right.

00:12:32.840 So if it's consent and you don't have to be an adult to make game changing decisions,

00:12:40.540 then what what really?

00:12:42.300 And I'm not saying this slippery slope.

00:12:45.620 I'm saying let's just be consistent.

00:12:47.620 Exactly.

00:12:48.120 And that's that's a really good point is really when it comes to sexual morality for most progressives

00:12:53.600 or most people on the left, the only lines of morality that are drawn are autonomy and

00:12:58.580 consent.

00:12:59.300 So I'm just saying if those are the only lines of morality that are drawn when it comes to

00:13:03.400 sexuality, what's stopping a child who apparently has autonomy and consent from have from exercising

00:13:10.480 that autonomy and consent when it comes to having an older relationship?

00:13:13.800 So the argument really is that maybe there are other lines of morality that we should draw

00:13:18.300 outside of autonomy and consent.

00:13:20.220 Maybe there are other things that we should consider.

00:13:22.020 So who who came after you yesterday?

00:13:27.040 Oh, I don't even know who they are.

00:13:28.660 Just well, I knew when Ben Shapiro tweeted me, retweeted me that they were going to come

00:13:33.640 out.

00:13:33.840 It kind of flew under the radar for a little bit until the power of Ben Shapiro came.

00:13:40.400 So it's a blessing and a curse on that one because every once in a while he'll retweet

00:13:43.900 something that I do.

00:13:44.540 And then it's just like my entire mentions for the next two days is just nonstop.

00:13:48.560 Ben's haters are intense.

00:13:49.780 Yes, they are.

00:13:50.120 Yeah.

00:13:51.060 And he is what's great about Ben is he can take you apart logically and you don't even

00:13:56.960 know it.

00:13:57.420 You're all of a sudden your skeleton standing with no meat on your frame and you're like,

00:14:01.060 what just happened to me?

00:14:02.280 I don't even know what just happened to me.

00:14:03.900 Um, so, um, you are, uh, really focused and I love this.

00:14:10.460 You are really focused on spiritual things, uh, and, uh, things of deep meaning, which people

00:14:21.500 will say millennials don't connect with.

00:14:24.960 And I don't believe that.

00:14:26.800 And I know you don't believe that.

00:14:28.340 Right.

00:14:28.780 Well, I think that millennials are like any other group of human beings and that we are

00:14:33.680 on the search for truth.

00:14:34.980 I think that we just look in the wrong places typically.

00:14:37.900 So millennials are the least religious and the most politically progressive generation 0.97

00:14:42.480 in America's history.

00:14:44.100 And I don't think, and I know that, uh, correlation doesn't prove causation, but I don't think it's

00:14:49.280 a coincidence that we're also the least satisfied or the least happy.

00:14:52.580 We're the most suicidal.

00:14:53.580 We're the most addicted, the most medicated.

00:14:56.020 Um, there's something that religion or the lack of religion has left within us.

00:15:01.540 And we're still searching for something.

00:15:03.240 We're still searching for some kind of purpose, just like any other generation. 0.99

00:15:06.640 So I am, uh, I'm obviously not in your generation and I feel the same way though.

00:15:13.740 Says anyone with eyes.

00:15:14.860 Yes.

00:15:15.200 Thank you.

00:15:15.680 Uh, the religion is so much of it is bogus.

00:15:24.620 And, uh, and while ritual is important for many reasons, it's much more subtle and you can

00:15:34.300 go to church and you're not hearing anything that is actually relating to anything that

00:15:40.500 is, is helping me deal or understand today.

00:15:46.800 And so how do you find meaning in religion?

00:15:50.780 Is it that they were looking, I mean, I think they're rejecting religion because there's not 0.98

00:15:54.560 a lot there.

00:15:56.100 Yeah, maybe so, but I'm not shy about what religion and what faith I think will ultimately

00:16:02.380 fulfill you and that's the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:16:04.620 And I'm not going to shy away from that and just say, you know, religion in general, faith

00:16:08.440 in general, that's going to help you.

00:16:10.180 I don't believe that if I did, then I wouldn't be a Christian.

00:16:12.800 It would be a lot easier for me not to have to take up my cross, deny myself and follow

00:16:16.560 Christ and just say, yeah, religion is great.

00:16:19.100 Go along with these rituals.

00:16:20.400 They'll make you feel better.

00:16:21.440 I don't believe that.

00:16:22.320 I believe that Jesus is what fulfills you.

00:16:24.540 That doesn't mean that we're going to find, um, temporal happiness every single day simply

00:16:29.700 because we are Christians, but that Jesus satisfies that void that's in your soul.

00:16:34.280 And that's the audience that I'm speaking to.

00:16:36.440 And there are a lot of non-Christians that, that follow me and listen to my audience, but

00:16:40.280 the niche that I've kind of carved out are a people that are seeking truth and they haven't

00:16:44.340 really figured it out yet.

00:16:45.380 And be, uh, young Christians that, that want to hear their faith, uh, logically discussed,

00:16:52.900 logically debated, logically talked about within the realm of culture and politics.

00:16:57.240 Um, and so I'm not, I'm not shy about which faith I think satisfies.

00:17:01.200 I don't think it's religion in general.

00:17:02.860 I think it's Jesus.

00:17:03.940 I, when I, I, I would say that, um, religion in general, it has been one of the problems.

00:17:12.520 When you keep saying that, do you mean like, uh, like the people who are doing it or people

00:17:18.040 who are misusing it for other purposes?

00:17:20.320 Gandhi said it great.

00:17:21.040 I love this Jesus.

00:17:24.920 I just don't like his followers.

00:17:28.020 Okay.

00:17:28.800 And, and so many of us are not living it.

00:17:34.280 And yet we are the first to point to someone else and say, look at their flaws.

00:17:41.000 And those people are going to hell because they don't do X, Y, or Z.

00:17:45.880 Well, neither are you, Jack, neither are you.

00:17:49.040 And we're not, we are, we are right now in the last few years, I have been blown away

00:17:57.200 by the number of people who are devout Christians who to me deny their faith.

00:18:04.600 Every time they say, yeah, yeah, Glenn, you know, peace and all of that stuff that will,

00:18:09.400 you know, that's fine, but that's not going to work really.

00:18:11.860 Cause that's what Jesus said to do and they deny the power of the actual gospel.

00:18:19.140 If we are actually living it and not so busy going, oh, you got to get baptized in the name

00:18:25.540 of Jesus, but just living it, just actually loving people.

00:18:31.080 And that's hard to do.

00:18:32.800 And I think people have a really hard time.

00:18:34.720 I have a hard time with this.

00:18:35.980 The balance between, um, fighting for what is right in a way that is effective in also

00:18:41.520 being a peacemaker.

00:18:42.560 Is it possible to fight for truth?

00:18:44.300 Truth is inherently divisive and also be a peacemaker.

00:18:47.140 Also be exactly.

00:18:48.460 He did.

00:18:49.040 He did.

00:18:49.380 Um, he never denied it and he was never weak.

00:18:52.300 Yes.

00:18:52.680 He was never weak.

00:18:53.460 And you're exactly right.

00:18:54.280 And I think it's difficult for people to fall, um, to follow that, that example.

00:18:58.780 I would say the problem is not religion.

00:19:00.700 It's sin.

00:19:01.760 That's the problem.

00:19:02.480 That's always been.

00:19:03.740 Okay.

00:19:04.140 Back in just a second with Allie Stuckey.

00:19:06.240 So Allie, we left it at sin.

00:19:08.520 What do you mean?

00:19:09.080 Define sin.

00:19:10.180 Well, everything that you just described, which I think can probably be encapsulated by the

00:19:15.600 word hypocrisy, um, that's sin.

00:19:18.200 That's not necessarily, uh, the fault of Christianity or the fault of religion.

00:19:22.180 It's the fault of imperfect people who are hypocrites.

00:19:25.380 And I do think people have misused religion to make themselves feel self-righteous, to stand

00:19:30.280 on our pedestal and say, you're wrong, but I'm good.

00:19:33.700 Because I'm a Christian or I'm whatever.

00:19:35.640 And I do think that's wrong, but that's not a problem of religion.

00:19:38.280 That's just a problem of sinful people.

00:19:41.460 Yes.

00:19:42.280 Uh, except I think our, our religion, our houses of worship, our systems are developed

00:19:48.440 by men.

00:19:49.360 The gospel is his.

00:19:50.320 Right.

00:19:50.860 Right.

00:19:51.000 The system, when I say religion, I mean, the system of administering that, uh, gets

00:19:56.280 so, it's so warped and we're yelling at each other because you don't go to my church and

00:20:01.600 I don't go to your church and I'm better than you because of that.

00:20:04.200 It's like, I don't remember Jesus saying any of that stuff.

00:20:07.600 He said, do these things.

00:20:10.260 And we're, we're falling down on those things.

00:20:12.880 Yeah.

00:20:13.060 And I would totally agree with you on that.

00:20:15.080 Where we might disagree in something that I talk about on my podcast a lot is the importance

00:20:19.580 of good theology.

00:20:20.880 Um, the importance of understanding your Bible, understanding the context of scripture and

00:20:24.920 believing the, believing the right thing.

00:20:27.520 Some people say, no, no, no, no.

00:20:29.160 It's, it's not about that.

00:20:30.540 Jesus didn't talk about theology.

00:20:32.320 Uh, it's just about your personal relationship with Christ.

00:20:34.940 But I would posit that, uh, you can't have a personal relationship with God until you

00:20:39.180 know God accurately.

00:20:40.420 So we are going through this, uh, I'm going through this with my teenagers right now.

00:20:45.860 Um, you have to find God on your own, has to be a personal relationship.

00:20:49.800 But once you find God, you have to ask yourself, is any of this stuff true?

00:20:53.560 Did he rise from the dead?

00:20:54.980 Because if he didn't, uh, okay, how are you going to find the sense of peace and forgiveness?

00:21:01.460 If he didn't, why are you doing this, this, and this?

00:21:05.660 If he didn't, none of it matters.

00:21:06.620 None of it matters.

00:21:07.600 It's just a good book with some really good safety tips in it.

00:21:11.440 Um, and that's entirely different than God.

00:21:15.480 So what does it mean when you find God?

00:21:18.700 So I think we're kind of on the same, same page.

00:21:21.580 I wanted to ask you, Ali, um, I was fascinated by something that happened to you over the past

00:21:25.220 year, which was a controversy with one of our favorite people, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:21:30.880 Yes.

00:21:31.400 Oh my gosh, that's right.

00:21:32.440 Where you did an interview, a quote unquote interview with her.

00:21:35.140 I saw it.

00:21:35.620 It was an interview.

00:21:36.660 I saw it with my own height.

00:21:38.440 It was real.

00:21:38.900 It was real.

00:21:39.760 She was there.

00:21:40.680 I saw you and I saw her and you were talking.

00:21:42.540 What was weird is the questions were different from, did you see the interview on NPR?

00:21:47.120 Because it was totally, she answered the same way.

00:21:49.400 It looked the same way.

00:21:50.920 It was crazy.

00:21:51.960 It was crazy.

00:21:52.260 And you obviously edited yourself in and made a really funny piece with you interviewing

00:21:56.480 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:21:58.460 And I was fascinated by the way that people reacted in which they tried to make it seem

00:22:04.400 as if you were trying to mislead people, that the interview was real.

00:22:07.180 Well, first of all, what was that like going through?

00:22:10.560 And secondly, does that, because the indication I got is they were scared of you.

00:22:14.060 The fact that they would do that and try to, it was such a ridiculous angle of attack

00:22:21.140 and try to, you know, to squash you in that moment and say something that was obviously

00:22:25.600 a parody was real.

00:22:27.580 I don't know.

00:22:28.140 That indicates that they were intimidated by that whole thing.

00:22:31.700 Well, first of all, I was not anticipating this kind of blowback.

00:22:35.180 I thought, okay, this will be a funny video.

00:22:37.000 People will like it, but it's not going to cause controversy.

00:22:39.640 When I woke up the next day and had emails from BuzzFeed and the Washington Post asking

00:22:44.820 me, and this is the thing that I also learned.

00:22:46.900 We all know that there are biased journalists out there.

00:22:50.320 But what I realized in the questions that they were asking me, so targeted towards the

00:22:55.260 conclusion that they had already drawn, is that, oh, so this is how it works.

00:22:58.860 They start with a foregone conclusion and they back up from there and they'll fill in the facts

00:23:03.280 that they want to fill in.

00:23:04.720 What really just struck me, which I guess, again, we already knew, was the stunning arrogance

00:23:10.280 of these leftist journalists who say, no, no, no, no, readers, you probably didn't know

00:23:15.900 that this was fake.

00:23:16.780 But because we are so cunning, because we journalists are so smart, let us break this

00:23:23.820 down for you.

00:23:24.420 This was a fake interview.

00:23:26.600 She was trying to mislead you. 1.00

00:23:28.800 I'm like, good job.

00:23:30.440 Y'all are so clever.

00:23:32.260 That's what amazed me about it.

00:23:33.840 There's a subtle undertow, I think, of the whole Russia situation that is very connected

00:23:39.080 to that, in that they keep bringing up the Russia situation with the memes and the bots

00:23:46.280 and everything promoting Trump as it approached the election.

00:23:50.800 But the undercurrent of that is everyone knows that you're an absolute moron if you voted because

00:23:56.280 of a meme.

00:23:57.060 Right.

00:23:57.320 And in their view of America, everyone is just dumb enough to be fooled to vote for

00:24:03.080 Donald Trump because of a meme.

00:24:04.420 Now, I don't know anyone who's dumb enough to vote because of a meme.

00:24:07.480 But that's like that.

00:24:09.480 It's like, did you get the sense that they were trying to, A, talk down to people, but

00:24:13.980 B, do you get the sense that they actually believed it?

00:24:16.940 Do you think that they had a question as to whether you were trying to pull this off as

00:24:21.340 a real interview or not?

00:24:22.300 I don't know.

00:24:22.880 I think it's possible that they really are just so hypersensitive to being made fun of

00:24:27.820 or anything that they find important, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being trivialized,

00:24:33.300 that maybe they convinced themselves that it was real.

00:24:36.220 But I thought that they were just playing me.

00:24:39.660 I thought that everyone knew it was a joke, but they were trying to get it taken down because

00:24:43.820 they didn't like it.

00:24:44.580 They don't like to be made fun of.

00:24:46.320 Conservatives are the only ones that are allowed to be made fun of.

00:24:49.140 I didn't play by the rules.

00:24:50.320 And so this is the tactic that we are going to employ to try to destroy you.

00:24:55.760 And it was in that time that I learned that you do not apologize when you're not wrong.

00:25:00.420 Yeah.

00:25:00.900 And I'm glad that I didn't.

00:25:02.080 Yeah.

00:25:02.380 No, that was great.

00:25:03.100 It's a remarkable thing.

00:25:04.620 Anybody can tell you how dishonest and people always say, oh, I know, I know.

00:25:09.380 But when you're actually sitting in the chair and they're talking to you and it's different

00:25:17.360 off the air or different prior to the interview and then they start doing it and you're like,

00:25:23.620 oh my God, it's stunning, isn't it?

00:25:26.480 Yeah.

00:25:26.680 And I know you've experienced that so many times, but reading some things in the Washington

00:25:31.500 Post that, well, Ali Stuckey has never, she's never made a parody video before.

00:25:35.640 This is the first we've seen.

00:25:37.340 I'm like, okay.

00:25:38.380 So you're just making things up now.

00:25:40.880 It really is a crazy experience.

00:25:45.100 What do you think is the fascination with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? 0.97

00:25:47.880 I've seen the media tossing this one around.

00:25:49.600 My kind of theory, I landed on, I think the Republicans in general like to elevate her 0.83

00:25:54.860 because they, the fact that, you know, here's an admitted socialist who doesn't seem to know

00:25:59.360 a lot about the things that she's talking about.

00:26:01.320 Yeah.

00:26:01.540 If that's going to be the face of the opposition, good for us.

00:26:04.520 Yeah.

00:26:04.820 What do you think is the reason?

00:26:05.800 What's the fascination with her? 1.00

00:26:07.280 I think so.

00:26:08.080 I think the left has glorified her because she is somewhat of a renegade. 0.98

00:26:12.620 She is very relatable.

00:26:14.500 I'll give her that.

00:26:15.180 She uses social media well.

00:26:16.540 Yeah.

00:26:16.680 She says things that I'm like, I totally get what you're saying.

00:26:19.300 When she talks about personal things.

00:26:21.120 So I understand that.

00:26:22.780 And a student asked me, are you afraid that this is going to now encourage more socialists

00:26:29.280 to, to run for office and possibly win?

00:26:32.040 I said, no, I am afraid that it's going to encourage more ignorant people to run for office

00:26:37.240 and win.

00:26:37.900 That's what I'm, that's what I'm afraid of.

00:26:40.200 I think that's the precedent that she's setting.

00:26:42.340 And that's why many people like me are so worried about it.

00:26:45.240 I love it.

00:26:46.580 Allie, thank you so much for coming in.
