Did American Eagle just run an eugenics ad praising Sidney Sweeney for her good genes? Is it Nazi propaganda? Megyn and Walter discuss. Plus, a report that President Trump is considering pardoning Sean Diddy.
00:25:48.800According to FBI data, 99.9% of all altercations do not require lethal force.
00:25:54.700And that's exactly why so many are turning to Berna.
00:25:57.540Berna is proudly American hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
00:26:01.460These less lethal self-defense launchers are trusted by hundreds of government agents,
00:26:06.100law enforcement departments, and private security companies.
00:26:09.600Over 600,000 Berna pistols have been sold already, most to private citizens who just refuse to be victims.
00:26:17.560Berna launchers fire rock-hard kinetic rounds and powerful tear gas and pepper projectiles capable of stopping a threat from up to 60 feet away.
00:26:26.900No background checks, no background checks, no waiting periods, and Berna can ship straight to your door.
00:26:46.400Trump continues to comment on Epstein and, of course, those comments continue to be bastardized and used against him by a dishonest press corps.
00:26:59.280He made remarks yesterday about how he and Jeffrey Epstein broke up.
00:27:08.500They were down in Palm Beach together.
00:27:10.140Epstein was connected to everybody down there.
00:27:11.660And it was known, I want to tell the audience right now, it was not known that this particular thing you're going to hear was the reason the friendship ended.
00:27:23.680We had on Vicki Ward two weeks ago who was saying it might have been the fact that Epstein asked Trump to go with him to look at a property he wanted to buy out of bankruptcy and ask him how he could move the pool around.
00:27:35.380And Trump, when he saw the property, decided he was going to bid on it as well out of bankruptcy, and Trump got it.
00:27:40.780So there was one report that that's why it ended.
00:27:43.180There was another report that Epstein had hit on or behaved in an inappropriate way with the daughter of a Mar-a-Lago member, and Trump said, you're out of here.
00:27:54.440Now, to his credit, Trump could have just gone with number two and made himself sound better.
00:28:18.160And now the left-wing press is going with, and I'm going to play you the soundbite, but they're going with, Trump knew everything.
00:28:24.240He knew that girls were being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, and he basically allowed it by having Jeffrey Epstein come and poach girls from Mar-a-Lago.
00:28:35.260All right, so here's the question when he talks about how Epstein stole—that's a reporter's word, too—stole Virginia Giuffre, who was the best-known Jeffrey Epstein victim.
00:28:49.520She was the one who was with Prince Andrew.
00:30:09.220And by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.
00:30:13.220OK, that anybody that's been an employer has probably had an employee stolen.
00:30:21.460You might use that word by another employee, another employer.
00:30:24.880Somebody comes along, they like your employee, they offer your employee more money or better work, you know, conditions, et cetera, a better job.
00:30:32.020And they leave and they say, oh, they stole that person from me.
00:31:01.340Well, Trump gets in trouble because he tells the truth, but he also gets out of trouble because he tells the truth.
00:31:09.640The truth is often a little, you know, jarring or unexpected when you first hear it, but it tends to last longer.
00:31:16.100And this is a very credible story by a guy who was proud of his resort.
00:31:22.400And a big part of a resort, I'm sorry because I live part of the time in Las Vegas and I, you know, go to them, is the spot staff, masseuses, people who do nails, do hair, bring you towels and so on.
00:31:59.560And he felt that Jeffrey Epstein was making it a less great resort.
00:32:03.600Now, turning that and using the verb stole to sort of latch it on to the subject of trafficking is flat dishonesty and, you know, the worst kind of torturing the language.
00:32:20.460This does not sound like a cover-up artist, this guy.
00:32:23.560This sounds like a guy who's kind of committed to telling the truth, even when it's sort of odd and gives insights into his values that maybe other people wouldn't share.
00:32:35.280He wants the damn best spa and the damn best resort.
00:32:38.680And Jeffrey Epstein was screwing with that.
00:47:32.440It looks like Trump is in some la-la land of special rules for rich and famous people if he does this.
00:47:41.280And it could not be a worse message from a supposedly populist president who cares about Main Street, where when you beat someone on camera, you end up in jail, getting kicked around by the other guys.
00:47:56.200Number two, there is reason to believe that both Epstein and Diddy may have something in common, which is that someone was protecting them all along, that in some fashion they were connected to intelligence, to law enforcement, that they had cover within elite circles.
00:48:17.260This would show us that perhaps that they continue to have it, and we can't, as a society, go forward believing that there are two standards of law for celebrities and regular people.
00:48:35.180It's one thing to know that the rich have all these other advantages.
00:48:40.880But we're in a country right now where on the left, at least, there is a lot of bubbling anger over oligarchs.
00:48:48.660And it may be sort of whipped up, or it may not be.
00:48:51.760It may be genuine or may be a political tactic.
00:48:55.000But you are playing into their hands, and you're just playing into the hands of the devil, as far as I'm concerned, if you let these people walk free.
00:49:06.680The least among us, the most powerless, all these kids who go to Hollywood and want to make it and are wide-eyed and maybe not as bright as they could be or as well-educated fall into the clutches of these people.
00:49:21.800And I say this as someone who's lived in Hollywood, who's worked in the movie industry.
00:49:25.380And these guys are predators, and there's a hundred like him, maybe not as prolific, not as rich, maybe not as connected.
00:49:34.660And we've got to put a stop to this business.
00:49:42.200He wasn't even found guilty on the worst charges against him, the sex trafficking, the RICO, which brought up in a sort of backdoor way all the stuff he'd been doing to women serially for the past 20 years.
00:49:55.860He was only found guilty on these two minor charges.
00:49:58.640Let him at least serve the time on those.
00:50:01.800And in both cases, in Epstein, you had a man who was a friend of Trump's for some period of time and who went on to become one of, if not the most prolific sex trafficker of all time, who got away with it, too.
00:50:39.420It's telling all these young, vulnerable women they don't count.
00:50:43.120They don't matter that even the top Republican president will cover up any wrongdoing when it comes to that type of a victim that it's I don't really see you as victims.
00:50:53.680And in fact, I'm going to bend over backwards to help this guy who's a serial abuser of women.
00:51:01.080This could be Dominic Patton being spun by Diddy's lawyers who say Trump is seriously considering a pardon.
00:51:08.660But I got to believe Trump's smarter than this.
00:51:10.440I get a strong feeling that this defense team is doing what a defense team does and floating something that, you know, in the hopes of making it a reality and the hopes of forcing someone's hand or I don't know.
00:51:24.160But it would really upset me to think that on the basis of what we know, there's a pardon being considered for this loathsome guy who really got off easy as it was.
00:51:38.300And whose victims most most of whose victims we don't know are sitting at home quietly with their lives wrecked because they didn't want to go along or they did go along.
00:51:51.020And if we can't make an example of this type, then we can't make an example of any type.
00:51:56.860Yeah, he already got a slap on the wrist.
00:51:59.920Now, you can't take away the slap on the wrist like that's that is not the solution to this problem.
00:52:04.660So, OK, the New York City shooter who was born in Hawaii, who was a high school football player and who drove cross country from Las Vegas, Nevada, Nevada, where he was a security guard at a casino to midtown Manhattan on Monday and opened fire.
00:52:26.760Now, we knew yesterday when we came to air that he left a suicide note saying he has CTE and he wants his brain studied and you can't take on the NFL.
00:52:37.320He played high school football only, as far as we know.
00:52:39.520And now his high school football coach is on record as saying, as far as I know, he only had one ankle injury when he worked for us.
00:52:45.780There was not like some series of concussions, which you typically see in a CTE case.
00:52:51.560To me, it seems clear this guy just had your garden variety mental breakdown, which is not unusual, especially among like around 25 year old men or so.
00:53:18.740So it's controversial. We knew it was going to be controversial, the fact that he had a concealed carry permit out in Nevada because we were told even the night of the shooting by former NYPD on Fox.
00:53:28.880The guy had to count to interactions with law enforcement that resulted in mental health referrals.
00:53:37.280They knew this the night of the shooting.
00:53:41.460And yet still he had a concealed carry permit.
00:53:44.000And that shouldn't be under the law in Nevada.
00:53:46.940Now we find out, uh, the New York Post reporting today that he successfully applied for a gun permit in 2022.
00:53:54.640He held onto the permit after he told the Las Vegas authorities that he was having suicidal thoughts.
00:54:03.400Moreover, uh, he notified the cops sometime after, okay, after the, that he got the permit that he was suffering from a mental health crisis.
00:54:18.400Now they say suicidal ideations are not enough to revoke a permit, but there was another finding that another report I saw that said, he said to law enforcement, I think I'm a danger to myself and others, which my God.
00:54:33.120And then he had another mental health contact in Las Vegas in 2024, he was placed and held on a psychiatric hold in 2022 and 2024, according to CNN, CNN, here it is.
00:54:47.900They say in 2022, Las Vegas police encountered him on the streets where he observed, uh, the cop did behavior that made him believe that this guy might be a threat to himself or others.
00:55:01.000Cops took him to a hospital where he was put on a psychiatric hold for an unknown period of time.
00:55:29.980Those people in the Midtown Manhattan building should not be dead.
00:55:33.440We should have taken away his civil liberties and protected those of the innocent Americans who are likely to get hurt by this guy.
00:55:39.220And the only reason that we don't do that anymore is because the leftist ACLU, actually ACLU and types that support it, have spent the past 50 years getting rid of institutionalization as a possibility for the deeply disturbed.
00:55:58.900Even though the Supreme Court has held, if they, if they are a danger to themselves or others, you can institutionalize them.
00:56:05.040You can do involuntary civil commitment, but slowly but surely the left has been getting rid of the facilities and the beds available for that kind of confinement because they're against it ideologically.
00:56:15.520And truly at its core, that's why those people died in that building on Monday.
00:56:22.620Well, Megan, I have an unpopular stance about these shootings, which is that they are now used in so many political and narrative ways to advance different agendas that I am suspicious of the whole phenomena.
00:56:40.060In other words, we're getting a real lot of information about his psychiatric state, and that's very, that's very important for those who find that to be their top issue.
00:56:54.400But we're not getting a lot of information about the possibility that he wasn't crazy, that the people he ended up killing, which turned out to be two formidable businesswomen, were maybe not the random victims of violence.
00:57:17.680In other words, we're two days into this, and we're two days into this, and we've already got a storyline, and we've got morals, and we've got, you know, policy ideas, and so on.
00:57:34.280There's no reason why someone with these sort of encounters with the law and this kind of a psychiatric history should have a gun.
00:57:42.340But in some ways, the people who want to take away guns are served by this, because they're saying, listen, Americans are crazy, and they have easy access to guns.
00:57:53.760Rather than dealing with the psychiatric issues, let's just take the guns away.
00:58:03.040They want to believe that that's impossible to deal with.
00:58:06.180But I think what you're saying is that it's actually quite easy to deal with.
00:58:10.320When you get these reports, and when you have already a legal structure for committing people even, you can certainly take away their firearms.
00:58:20.200You can certainly put them on various lists, and you can even commit them.
00:58:24.400But as I say, the anti-gun people would rather that not happen, because they'd rather we see America as this horrible free-for-all from which we must remove guns.
00:58:33.400And other people would point out, America is this generally law-abiding place from which we should remove crazy people.
00:58:47.300At the same time, we then have the sticky wicket of had Biden been reelected, and it was his decision to define who was crazy, he might have added something called white supremacy or a tendency toward extremism, and maybe even used your social media to determine that.
00:59:11.260So we have to be very careful about what our values are, and I think it is common sense to start with separating crazy people and firearms.
00:59:23.680But even that isn't really being allowed by the people you would think would want to see less violence.
00:59:31.640And so I hope we can restore some common sense, but I also hope we can stop governing by mass shooting in this country, because it seems like the moral of every mass shooting, once we find the note, once we find the bottle of pills in the car and the other clues, with Luigi it was other kinds of manifestos and beliefs.
01:00:00.080And with the trans shooting in Nashville, it was a whole other things.
01:00:04.600Like, let's get a fix on what we want to do as a society, and not be thrown pillar to post by acts of violence, because that encourages acts of violence.
01:00:14.800When people realize that they can drive the national conversation by shooting someone, that's very appealing to these guys.
01:00:22.940That's why we never say the name of the mass shooters on the show, and I haven't done that in 15 years.
01:00:27.900I heartily agree with that policy, I'll tell you.
01:00:32.580You raise a good point, because it's like, we don't want bad guys to have access to guns, people who are identified as mentally disturbed.
01:00:40.220But we don't want that mentally disturbed term to be bastardized, to steal people's guns who are just law-abiding citizens with controversial views.
01:00:47.920You know, we'd have to adhere closely to a very high standard, so that we didn't sweep just politically unpopular people into the institutions.
01:00:57.840But I think there is very much a way of doing it.
01:01:00.100We were doing it in the 50s and 60s before we were.
01:01:04.040We were, at that point, I think I looked this up.
01:01:07.100There were 55,000 beds in America for people who were being involuntarily committed.
01:01:11.140And within about 40 years, it had fallen to 14,000.
01:01:34.340And we forced Americans to become hard-hearted enough that every day they can walk past suffering people, that they can learn to ignore it.
01:01:41.940And I really actually resent that my children, my younger children, can't remember a time when that wasn't the case, that their whole life they've had to develop this skill set of ignoring crazy people, of walking past sick people, of hardening their hearts to people with abscesses on their legs or shooting up in a corner.
01:02:07.420I don't know that that should have become a permanent feature of the American landscape.
01:02:13.060And the idea that it did anything for the outdoors people is ridiculous.
01:02:19.980Of course, many of them are so high, they don't know whether they're inside, outside, or in outer space.
01:02:25.120But the truth is that the advocacy for their ability to die in full view of the public has not been the greatest empathetic stroke of our time.
01:02:41.540It has, in fact, been a form of cruelty to ourselves because we've hardened our own hearts by having to deal with this on the everyday, you know, walk to work.
01:02:51.920Well, here is one of the reasons I'm bringing it up.
01:02:56.880Trump is finally doing something about this, and it really hasn't gotten enough attention.
01:03:01.920Talked about it briefly earlier this week, but he issued an executive order on July 24th called Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets.
01:03:09.920And it's a very bold initiative because typically what America's streets look like is up to mayors and governors and state legislators, not the president.
01:03:19.220So good on Trump for doing something from his post, a hell of a lot more than Mayor Brandon Johnson is doing in Chicago, for example.
01:03:30.320He says endemic vagrancy, disorderly behavior, sudden confrontations and violent attacks have made our cities unsafe.
01:03:38.460The number of individuals living on the streets in the U.S. on a single night during the last year of the previous administration was just under 275,000.
01:03:51.220The overwhelming majority of these individuals are addicted to drugs, have a mental health condition, or both.
01:03:56.220Nearly two-thirds of homeless individuals report having regularly used hard drugs in their lifetimes, an equally large share suffering from mental health conditions.
01:04:04.980The feds and the states have spent tens of billions on failed programs that address homelessness, but not its root causes, leaving other citizens vulnerable to public safety threats.
01:04:14.500And then he goes on to say we need a new approach.
01:04:17.140He says, I direct the attorney general in connection with HHS to seek in appropriate cases the reversal of federal or state judicial precedents and the termination of consent degrees that impede the United States' policy of encouraging civil commitment of individuals with mental illness who pose risks to themselves or the public,
01:04:38.840or who are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves in appropriate facilities for appropriate period of time.
01:04:45.100And he goes on to say, we'll provide some assistance to the states for this.
01:04:48.580If you need some help, if you need some money, we'll actually give you some money for this to create and staff the appropriate beds and so on so we can get these people off the streets.
01:05:08.040Every single, like NPR, PBS, it's all about how terrible Trump is, how he wants to recreate one flew over the cuckoo's nest and shove innocent, suffering, homeless people and others into inhumane facilities.
01:05:20.300It's no, it's past time that we had something like this.
01:05:26.160And I'll just make one more point, Walter.
01:05:27.380Back when I was at NBC, I did a series that has been with me ever since.
01:05:52.200And I interviewed many of them and these poor families, they're at their wits end because they don't have a facility that will take their kid.
01:06:01.160They know they're raising the next school shooter or mass shooter.
01:06:05.740They can't find a facility that will take their kid.
01:06:11.160One mom, Dawn Davies, told me in one year she went through 35 psychiatric professionals who either rejected her son, who she says has no empathy and is obviously a sociopath if you listen to the whole interview, rejected him because they don't know how to fix that.
01:06:49.180There is a member of your group with whom we spoke who has a, I think, 15-year-old girl, 15-year-old girl who she admitted killed the family cat, strangled the family dog, attacked her mother with a knife, said she had a plan to kill her and the whole family, put poison oak in the mother's shower wash, which she knew the mother was deathly allergic to.
01:08:02.360So it's beyond time for us to create facilities like this and to pay for them and to protect everyone else's civil liberties
01:08:16.760and prioritize those over the civil liberties of the next school shooter or the next homeless maniac who's going to take somebody's life or try to on a subway or mentally disturbed person who has access to guns
01:08:30.720and has identified himself to law enforcement as a threat.
01:09:22.740Oh, we're going to give them, you know, their own free reign.
01:09:26.080And the name of civil liberties will let them, you know, live in their car or stalk around outside or not, you know, not be subjected to any sort of discipline or confinement if they act in an antisocial way.
01:09:39.680Well, that's a wonderful thing to do if, like, unlike these people, you don't have to live with consequences.
01:09:46.860We have to start doing the hard things.
01:09:49.000We have to start, I hate to say it, hardening our hearts just a little bit so that we can get over the hump to do the necessary jobs of a civilization, which is stay civilized.
01:10:03.820And if that means the building of new facilities, the hiring of new staff, the promulgation of new programs and codes and standards so that we can keep this within the boundaries that we consider civilized, then we have to do that.
01:10:21.360And all our, you know, all our arid ideas about, you know, what's right in some best of all possible worlds can go out the window because this is a urgent crisis, mental health, drugs, autism, which also can be in a sort of spectrum that can lead to this kind of behavior.
01:10:43.500And we know that that is on the rise for whatever reason.
01:10:47.660And so unless we start buckling down, you know, my mom was a critical care nurse.
01:10:52.740She saw the worst human situations and an ER nurse every night, violence, you know, accidents, just bad, dumb luck.
01:11:01.540And that realism affected me as a person.
01:11:04.860And I think we have to start getting realistic.
01:11:06.920We can't just look in our phones and live behind our gates and in our doorman buildings if we're well off and espouse these great principles while this kind of real horror and despair and pain is running rampant.
01:11:40.160We see this in all these other countries that that have no guns.
01:11:43.420Mass murders happen all over the place where there are no guns whatsoever with knives, with car bombs and with cars just running people down.
01:11:51.440I'm sorry, but the crazed, deranged lunatic will find a way to do it.
01:11:54.600It's the other half of the equation that you pointed out.
01:11:57.400It's the mental health half that needs to be addressed.
01:12:00.300And for the first time, we have a president who is willing to do it.
01:14:00.520And up until now, we haven't had a president who's even thinking about how to help these people.
01:14:06.300So I just would love for everybody to get behind this Trump executive order and support.
01:14:11.200This is the kind of allocation we need.
01:14:12.540I don't want to spend 60 billions in Ukraine.
01:14:15.200I want to take billions of dollars and spend them on our people and things like this.
01:14:20.340So we don't have another tragedy like we had on Monday.
01:14:23.360Walter, I'll give you the last quick word.
01:14:26.640Sometimes to wash the dishes, you've got to shove your hands into the dirty dishwasher and do what dirty dishwire and do what has to be done.
01:14:34.740America needs to face its demons and start down the road of actually helping people who are in distress and not pretending that its values prevent that.
01:16:07.300These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

01:16:23.380To life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
01:16:25.980GCU believes in equal opportunity and that the American dream starts with purpose.
01:16:30.300By honoring your career calling, you can impact your family, friends, and community.
01:16:34.720Change the world for good by putting others before yourself.

01:16:49.160With over 340 academic programs as of September 2024,
01:16:53.480GCU meets you where you are and provides a path to help you fulfill your dreams.
01:21:46.080But I guess if we have to go to a second criterion, it would be that you've done work with PragerU, with our friend Dennis Prager, who is totally brilliant.
01:21:56.620And that institution has produced a lot of conservatives who are all over the Internet.
01:22:03.380I think you might be the first of being accused of being an Israeli spy just because you've done a stint with PragerU.
01:22:09.660But do you think I have the entirety of the evidence, quote, against you spelled out here?
01:22:21.260They want to justify, you know, some of the pain that they've been through watching the last four years.
01:22:25.740And there's pieces of this that, you know, I can, I understand.
01:22:29.700But I think that they've taken just these pieces of evidence that you've laid out and tie them together in all of the wrong ways.
01:22:37.360I think, you know, PragerU is a great institution that is, as you know, Megan, sets out to educate the youth, you know, make short form content to try to influence people's opinions, educate them on things that they might not understand.
01:22:50.060And constitutional education, I focused a lot in constitution and policy education in my videos.
01:22:55.940You know, all of this was to speak out about my experience in college and try to tell the youth that they don't have to bend the knee to the left woke institution and make content that would be of good service to the youth as I decided that I couldn't stay silent anymore.
01:23:10.700So seeing these things twisted is not only very confusing, very out of left field for me, but also incredibly disheartening.
01:23:43.680That's been the most interesting thing is you find out things about yourself that you've never put forth and have never, you know, believed in your life.
01:25:30.720It's just that people are accusing you of sort of being the honeypot where, you know, like they'll send over a spy to sort of get one of our officials, like an Eric Swalwell type, to sleep with them.
01:25:51.240But you, boy, if you're if you're a spy trying to get in with Trump administration officials, you were really playing the long game.
01:25:57.440Two and a half years before Trump even got into office, picking some random associate of Trump's and betting on him becoming our FBI chief.
01:26:06.080It would have been a really long game play.
01:26:08.980And the thing here, too, is that, you know, you don't know where life is going to go.
01:26:12.660You don't know where these things are going to take you.
01:26:14.960You even before I met Cash, you know, being committed to this movement and saying, OK, there's something seriously wrong with our country.
01:26:21.780And there are sacrifices in music that I'm being asked to make.
01:26:25.940And there are sacrifices in college that I'm being asked to make.
01:26:30.240You know, people that want you to donate to certain super PACs in order to get on certain tours.
01:26:34.780It's egregious the things that you run into and you either go, OK, I'm either going to be a part of this or I'm going to speak against it.
01:26:41.740And my values led me to speak against it.
01:26:43.780And so to live my life very publicly, honestly, I mean, my social media goes back far enough to tell that I have a long history of this, of speaking about American values and making sure that people know exactly where I'm coming from.
01:26:59.360You know, I've worked with veterans organizations for a long time.
01:27:01.700These are the things that I've held for a long time, the beliefs I've held for long before I met him.
01:27:07.820And so it's hard when you make these decisions to sacrifice, you know, what I think the mainstream would call success in your career to commit to an ideology and speak out against what the Biden administration was doing.
01:27:19.760I mean, have my show on Rumble Weekly called Between the Headlines, where I was calling all of this out for people to act like there's not enough information out there about me to glean a real conclusion on all of this kind of vigilante research.
01:27:34.160It's it's bizarre to me, you know, as a as a pretend I'm a third person.
01:28:31.300Don't say that you support Planned Parenthood the way they want you to.
01:28:34.480Don't call yourself a feminist because your teacher will give you pats on the head.
01:28:38.300Stand up for what you really believe in.
01:28:40.880And that's how we spread the good word.
01:28:42.360That's how we convert others over to where we stand rather than just get ahead pretending we're with them and then only once we have power tell our true feelings.
01:28:52.020If anybody who came to me with a crappy GPA from one of these elite universities and then showed me all their papers that spoke up for conservatism and America and God and faith, I would hire them in an instant over somebody who emerged with a perfect GPA who went along to get along.
01:29:14.460Stand up for your beliefs now when it matters.
01:29:18.100Then I read as I'm reading up on you, you at this private Christian university, Belmont, received an F in college for your conservative views.
01:29:28.520You actually went and complained to the dean because you knew this professor had it in for you.
01:29:33.840And you took I mean, you you complained saying this is a bunch of bull.
01:29:40.000But you preferred to get the bad grade rather than lie about how you really felt when you knew you were sitting there in a progressive professor's classroom.
01:29:56.620And that's what, you know, when I was given the F in comparative politics, I, of course, fought it to really make an example for other students that you can do this.
01:30:05.760If you want to run it up the flagpole, at least, you know, get it to the parties where they can maybe complain, they can change.
01:30:12.300They know that they can't get away with this, you know, all of those good things.
01:30:15.020But honestly, getting the grade was just an indication that I was exemplifying that I wasn't being indoctrinated because it wasn't like I was arguing with everything this professor said at every point that he was saying it.
01:30:27.920It was that he knew because of my papers, because of what I was saying, because of what I was not agreeing with.
01:30:33.760You know, this is a comparative politics class.
01:30:36.200It's not that it's not that political.
01:30:39.280And I know that sounds funny, but you know what I mean?
01:30:40.980It's really, you know, it's really kind of cut and dry.
01:30:49.400And this guy, as you said, just had it out for me.
01:30:51.740And so when I got the F and I knew I had to do something about it, ultimately, my advice to people going forward is very similar to yours, is don't write anything that you don't agree with.
01:31:01.280Don't go forward and have those papers with your name on it that you can't stand behind.
01:31:05.400And I think that's the most vital piece of information because we have a generation that is so vulnerable, not as much right now because of the messaging that's coming up.
01:31:14.840But in the last four years, they've just sat there, been good, been good students, been docile.
01:31:19.760And really, it's about standing up for your beliefs and not compromising on them.
01:31:23.660Mm hmm. All right. So you've got you, this you, this gal who grows up for a large part in Arkansas, attracted to country music, you become a country music singer and star.
01:31:34.440You are very involved in veterans charities.
01:31:37.040You're Christian. You went to a Christian university.
01:31:39.320You stood up for yourself without doing the liberal talking points there, made a record of what they were doing to you.
01:31:47.560Well, I mean, this is like, you know, basically your next step will be Fox News correspondent in the grand scheme of life.
01:31:54.200But for some reason, the Epstein thing gets blamed on you.
01:31:58.900And there's a lot of this on the Internet.
01:32:00.860There are people with millions and millions of followers in posts that have been seen millions and millions of times accusing you of being a spy for Israel.
01:32:11.240Mostly, mostly Mossad spy could be other spies.
01:32:13.540We cut just one in soundbite form, but there's so much more.
01:32:26.100Quote, some social media users have wondered whether the FBI and the U.S. Justice Department's refusal to release the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients could have something to do with Alexis Wilkins,
01:32:35.800the 26-year-old girlfriend of 45-year-old FBI director Kash Patel.
01:32:40.000This is what people online are pointing to, the fact that Patel's girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, works for PragerU, which is a media company that supposedly espouses American values,
01:32:49.680except for the fact that it is run by a former Israeli military intelligence officer.
01:32:57.400And unfortunately, there's actually not a lot of public information to go off of in terms of Alexis Wilkins' background.
01:33:03.980She lived in England and Switzerland before settling in Fayetteville, Arkansas, when she was nine.
01:33:08.780It also says that she attended College du Le Monde International School in Switzerland.
01:33:14.820Now, interestingly, ChatGBT is calling this a strange biographical gap in that she has no visible friend network or public high school college cohort interviews,
01:33:24.120which they say is unusual for a public figure in entertainment, and that if a Mossad asset were inserted early in life,
01:33:30.420these gaps would be precisely where you'd hide alternate history or handler training.
01:33:34.620Anyway, I'm not sure what's true or what's not true, but evidently these are, quote,
01:33:39.280classic elements used in honeypot operations, soft power, ideological alignment, and sexual-emotional entanglement.
01:33:46.740Okay, the only piece of that that I can glean that is actually true is the CEO of PragerU is actually acknowledges on her bio that she served in military intelligence with the IDF.
01:34:01.980So she, the CEO of PragerU, has an affiliation, but there's nothing like that about you.
01:34:07.940So when this started coming out, were you shocked?
01:34:10.700I mean, do you think this is really basically just that you're with cash?
01:34:16.480I knew that, you know, that Prager was, this is kind of something that I think people in the deep sides of the internet like to pick at,
01:34:24.360you know, when they can't figure out what else is wrong.
01:34:26.280So some of it didn't surprise me when it first started coming up.
01:34:30.120I was like, all right, you know, this looks like this is what they're focusing on today.
01:34:33.240But then to your point, Megan, these posts got you millions of views and, you know, I could list all of the ways that this hurt me and my family,
01:34:41.300but some examples are the fact that people begin harassing you.
