On today's show, Glenn and Stu discuss the Eagles' Super Bowl victory and the aftermath of the party celebrating it. Plus, the latest on the latest in the Pelosi vs. Schumer feud, and a special guest who was born in the Soviet Union joins the show.
00:09:49.440Because they did have, they went through the whole thing where they fired the people, then the cops, then they announced the charges on the cops.
00:10:30.960Every step of the way, they tried to shut down information.
00:10:35.780When you shut down information and lack transparency in a world that doesn't trust anyone, what happens?
00:10:49.620People start making up their own stories.
00:10:53.820Conspiracy theories happen in a society that is shut down all information because they'll see things and they'll be like, that's not right.
00:13:32.440It will tell the story clearly and you'll be past all of this.
00:13:37.740So when authorities tell me this is what's going on and we don't want any conspiracy theories and they have the way to stop all conspiracy theories.
00:18:32.340American Express is one that demands that you pay it off.
00:18:35.620So, generally speaking, it is people who have more money that will carry an American Express.
00:18:41.680But more importantly, American Express, your FICA score is between 40 and 60 points higher to be able to get just a regular green card American Express over Discover or Capital One.
00:19:04.420And when you look at the riskiest ones, Capital One, they've been taking, you know, subprime borrowers, people who are living on the edge and living on their credit card.
00:19:17.840Those are Discover cards and Capital One cards, generally speaking.
00:19:22.520Well, Capital One is turning off the spigot of the credit in a lot of places.
00:20:27.100It is getting harder and harder for the people at the bottom end.
00:20:32.060You will have nothing and you'll be happy.
00:20:36.520It is the promise from the World Economic Forum.
00:20:40.280By 2030, you will be happy owning nothing.
00:20:44.800Now, I don't know how that is possible in a society set up around ownership.
00:20:51.660The reason why ownership is so important in America is because that's the way you can hold on to wealth, grow wealth, by buying your own home, not your car, but by buying assets and owning things that increase in value.
00:21:09.160That's how we have lifted the poor class into the middle class and the middle class into an upper class.
00:21:18.500That is unique and really, truly very American.
00:23:02.880You may be in a war that you are creating right now, President Biden.
00:23:07.300What do you say you bite the bullet because you don't seem to have a problem spending money everywhere else and fill our national strategic supply back up?
00:28:25.880If that's no longer true, what's keeping our dollar sound?
00:28:30.660And why hasn't there been any discussion of this?
00:28:34.540Why isn't anyone talking about something that is going to affect you, your future, your children, your debt, your job, your medicine, everything is going to be affected by that.
00:28:50.240And yet, nobody's told you anything about it.
00:28:57.500I just find it curious that the leaders of expense are the things that the Great Reset is trying to get rid of.
00:30:43.260She is the co-author of Stolen Youth, and she is also a New York Post columnist.
00:30:48.340Carol, as a parent of four children, and as a typical, I think, American, I am overwhelmed with what my kids are bringing back from school and what they're having to deal with everywhere.
00:33:06.600Kids are in this, you know, real anxiety moment where they're taught like that the world is going to end at any moment and that they have to do something about it.
00:33:17.180And the psychologists are so responsible for this.
00:33:19.660I have to tell you, I would I've thought about my kids and what they're going through, what they face.
00:33:26.040And I think every time I end up the same place, I cannot imagine being a child today.
00:33:34.380There is the world is going to end because of, you know, climate catastrophe.
00:34:07.240So you've just, you know, addressed everything that we talk about in the book and especially the two plus two equals five and the rest of it.
00:34:16.020And the hope that I want to explain to people is that if you come from a utilitarian society like I did, you couldn't even in your home protect your children.
00:34:25.840You couldn't tell them the truth in your home because you risked their lives.
00:34:31.140We are still at the place where you can protect your kids in the home.
00:34:34.640You can give them the truth in your home.
00:34:37.240And you can make them the kind of resilient adults that you want them to be, that this isn't just, yes, all of these different, you know, outlets are coming for your kids.
00:35:46.740So, you know, there are a lot of places you can start, but obviously school is a major one.
00:35:52.360So for people on, you know, who are conservatives, we've been pushing for school choice for, you know, forever.
00:35:58.120And now it's sort of taking hold and it's really catching fire in the last few years after parents really saw what was going on in the schools when the schools closed for COVID.
00:36:06.520Hold on just a second, just a note, just a note for Texas voters.
00:36:12.040You voted in Republicans, but they gave the school board to the Democrats, you know, for fairness.
00:36:18.360So you're not going to have free schools here.
00:36:21.400You're not going to be able to have school choice here.
00:36:46.240It might even involve, you know, maybe not moving to another state, but maybe switching schools, maybe finding a new community.
00:36:51.780And it's something that we have to act on.
00:36:54.360I know it sounds hard and for some people, maybe impossible, but whatever you can do to get your kids out of this insanity that has gripped our culture, I think parents need to do it.
00:37:05.620I think people that don't see the trans, you know, gendered person in the library or something like that, if it's not really super obvious, they think their kids are safe.
00:37:16.340If parents are living in cities, they know that this is happening.
00:37:21.480Before we left New York, I would say half, maybe three quarters of my 12-year-old friends were trans.
00:37:28.060I mean, you know, they weren't really trans, but they would declare themselves non-binary.
00:37:32.600They would, you know, say that they felt that they were not the right gender.
00:37:36.340And this became a popular contagion, and it's happening in every city.
00:37:40.940I hear this from parents all the time.
00:37:42.860It's happening less in smaller places.
00:37:45.260It's happening less in, you know, suburbs or rural areas.
00:38:00.240Well, a lot of the ideas that we fund, for example, libraries that have events that we completely would not support, that we cannot accept for our kids.
00:38:13.300I mean, Drag Queen Story Hour and various things like that.
00:38:17.160There's no reason we should be funding it.
00:40:53.740It's not you can't just retreat into your own family and expect everything to be OK and that your kids are not going to be influenced by the outside.
00:41:02.420That's why, again, when half my daughter's friends decided they were trans, we didn't ignore it.
00:41:06.760We didn't pretend it wasn't happening.
00:41:08.600We discussed with her how it that sometimes, you know, people feel uncomfortable in their bodies as they approach puberty and how that might lead to them, you know,
00:41:17.320getting involved in something that they don't actually believe.
00:41:20.080So you have to be kind of also my my co-author and I, Bethany Mandel and I, we have different approaches to this.
00:41:26.620And we discussed both approaches in the book.
00:42:06.860We only address it in terms of how it's used to shut down the transgender debate and how there's this pretense that if we don't confirm that a girl is actually a boy or, you know, some other new identity, they'll commit suicide.
00:42:23.160And therapists pressure parents into doing what they want them to do because they will say, if you don't reinforce your child's gender, which is not the gender they were born with, then they'll kill themselves.
00:42:37.220And, of course, parents will do whatever it takes for that not to happen.
00:43:07.480I think that moving away from merit is just part of the woke system.
00:43:11.840It says that we're all the same and we're all average and there's no difference between any of us and you shouldn't try.
00:43:18.700The suicide thing, I think that, and I think we'll be learning about this for years, but I think the pandemic responses had so much to do with our suicide rates.
00:43:29.480I mean, emergencies rose by, I think, 25% mental health emergencies among children 5 to 11 and even more by kids 12 to 17.
00:43:39.060I think it's in the 30s and they just the suicide attempts during that time period between March and October of 2020 when all the kids were inside their homes, not allowed out in places like New York where that extended, you know, for months and months, even beyond that.
00:43:55.200I think we really did damage and the idea that we could just shut down our world and everybody will be okay.
00:44:02.960We know that that's not true and we'll be facing the repercussions of what we did.
00:44:06.600There's a chapter in our book about COVID, even though obviously as we move past COVID and the restrictions move into the rear view mirror, the impulse is just to forget about it.
00:44:38.300So my great grandfather, Aaron Gelberg, died in a gulag in the Soviet Union all the way in the east by Japan and he was arrested for the crime of owning a bakery and for, you know, having a business at a time where that became illegal.
00:44:54.820The lines just shifted out from under him and I write about all the people that were there for saying the wrong thing, not saying the right thing strongly enough.
00:45:03.880And how that conformity is coming here.
