[00:00:35]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:00:37]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
[00:00:39]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:42]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:00:46]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:00:47]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:00:48]  His spirit is love of this country.
[00:00:49]  He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
[00:00:56]  We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
[00:01:05]  That's why we are here.

[00:01:20]  We as conservatives are repulsed by identity politics, and we should be.
[00:01:26]  The politics of trying to put people in different categories based on their skin color is not something that we appreciate or something that we support.
[00:01:36]  Now, identity politics is rooted in the idea of trying to, let's just say, use a word that came in the 1990s, balkanize the American political, the American political landscape.
[00:01:50]  However, there is one part of kind of segmenting of politics, if you will, or the country that I think is very helpful, and that is to look at things generationally.
[00:02:00]  Instead of looking at things based on skin color, I think looking at political dynamics based on age is far more helpful.
[00:02:08]  While I do believe there are differences between men and women, I do not believe there are differences between white people and black people.
[00:02:14]  I don't.
[00:02:14]  I do not believe in racial differences, and people who do, we have words for them.
[00:02:19]  Racists, like Nicole Hanna-Jones, or like Robin DiAngelo, or Ibram X. Kendi.
[00:02:24]  But I do believe that there's big differences in experiences and, let's say, things that people have to live through in generational dynamics.
[00:02:36]  So typically, the younger the voter, the more Democrat and the more liberal they are.
[00:02:41]  They tend to be more idealistic, utopian, less rooted to the tragedy of life.
[00:02:46]  And not all life is a tragedy, but life can be tough.
[00:02:49]  The first Buddhist principle is life is suffering.
[00:02:52]  I don't quite believe that, to be perfectly honest.
[00:02:54]  Life can be full of suffering, but it also can be beautiful and full of joy and love and prosperity.
[00:03:01]  Generational dynamics, for me, are the most helpful and interesting to look at.
[00:03:07]  And so when we look at Joe Biden's approval rating and we look at who actually is driving the decline of Joe Biden's approval, it's remarkable when we learn that it's younger voters in particular that disapprove of Joe Biden the most.
[00:03:25]  Vox.com, which is a communist rag, writes, quote, Joe Biden's young voter problem.
[00:03:34]  Quote, Joe Biden has a younger voter problem.
[00:03:37]  If you look at about any poll from last year, the president's support amongst younger voters ages 18 to 34 has dropped significantly.
[00:03:45]  The decline is worst amongst younger voters of color.
[00:03:50]  And the drop isn't that surprising.
[00:03:51]  Young Americans never really loved Biden, and they think he's broken his campaign pledges.
[00:03:57]  The youngest of these voters came of a political age, isolated away from schools, friends, uncertain of their jobs, school prospects, and unsure of whom to trust.
[00:04:07]  It says here that according to Gallup survey, nearly 60% of voters approved of Joe Biden at his inauguration.
[00:04:18]  And now that is down to less than 40%, according to the Gallup poll, a 23-point plunge, 37% actually, approval rating, and that's high.
[00:04:30]  It's actually 21% according to a Quinny Piak poll.
[00:04:33]  So why is this?
[00:04:34]  Does this mean that they're all becoming radical right-wingers?
[00:04:36]  Well, some of them are, but not a lot.
[00:04:39]  And by radical, I mean that sarcastically.
[00:04:42]  No, instead, there's a couple of segments here.
[00:04:47]  Number one, they say that some voters want Biden to be more progressive.
[00:04:52]  I think that might be true.
[00:04:53]  Number two, the economy is not great and younger voters blame Biden.
[00:04:56]  That's totally right.
[00:04:58]  Things are expensive right now.
[00:04:59]  Voters ages 18 to 34 are getting poorer every single month.
[00:05:03]  Prices are going up.
[00:05:04]  It's difficult to live in a major metropolitan area.
[00:05:07]  Phoenix and Dallas and Atlanta, inflation is anywhere between 20 to 25 percent, which actually doesn't hurt older people as much.
[00:05:14]  If you own a home, inflation actually is somewhat good for you.
[00:05:17]  Your debt liability or your debt that you own your home, your mortgage technically stays the same, but it decreases if there are more dollar bills in the economy because everyone has more dollar bills.
[00:05:28]  And so even though your debt is fixed, the amount of dollar bills is fluid.
[00:05:33]  Therefore, the dollar bill to debt ratio goes in your favor.
[00:05:38]  But most 18 to 34-year-olds don't own property.
[00:05:40]  They can't afford a down payment, and certainly not right now, with the skyrocketing price of housing across America, not to mention student loan debt, where young people borrowed money they did not have to study things that did not matter, to go find jobs that do not exist.
[00:05:56]  But they do have a piece of paper showing that they studied 13th century queer poetry, which I hear is all the rage right now at Brown University, 13th century queer poetry.
[00:06:09]  Very compelling stuff.
[00:06:12]  And there is this general feeling of generational disgust.
[00:06:19]  They know that something is not right, and they're not exactly sure who to blame.
[00:06:26]  They're not exactly sure who to pinpoint for their suffering, but they know that Biden is a good start.
[00:06:34]  It says here, quote, the current inflationary spike is the first time many millennials and Gen Zers are confronting this kind of economy.
[00:06:41]  Coupled with rising rent, debt, and ultra-hot housing markets in the country's 20 largest metropolitan areas, the current affordability crisis is hitting young people especially hard.
[00:06:50]  In part due to the last recession, millennials were already a lost generation financially.
[00:06:55]  And Generation Z, both graduating into a recession and dealing with the pandemic economy, saw higher rates of job instability, causing them to dip into their savings more than older generations.
[00:07:06]  It says, quote, when the economy roared back in 2021, which it didn't, it was a fake roarback.
[00:07:11]  We know that.
[00:07:11]  Many young people felt a respite.
[00:07:14]  Their purchasing power increased and their spending rose as well.
[00:07:16]  But inflation and dissatisfaction with capitalism caught up.
[00:07:20]  Now, this is important.
[00:07:20]  Vox, they pinpoint this.
[00:07:23]  If Republicans do not seize this opportunity with younger voters, this will be the most radical socialist generation in history.
[00:07:31]  Just wait until a socialist starts to run for office and stops talking about pregnant men and talking about transgender curriculum for five-year-olds.
[00:07:40]  If a Democrat socialist actually ran on class instead of race or these kind of trans woke issues, it would resonate in a way that most Republicans would not know how to process it.
[00:07:57]  Christina Tinzutin Ramirez says, quote, they have real economic anxiety and pain at this moment.
[00:08:04]  Many young people feel worried about the future.
[00:08:06]  Young American adults are the first generation in history to be worse off than their parents.
[00:08:10]  It's generational theft.
[00:08:12]  And we warned that the lockdowns were generational theft, older voters that were robbing the future of young people.
[00:08:19]  We've said that all along.
[00:08:20]  We've come under great criticism from older voters who say they did nothing wrong, that say the lockdowns were wonderful.
[00:08:26]  And of course they weren't.
[00:08:29]  We've come under great criticism by calling the $7 trillion credit out of thin air, robbing future generations to try to inflate stock and commodity and security prices.
[00:08:40]  And so this generation is now inheriting the multi-decades of the same sort of generational theft, of borrowing money we do not have, of printing money that does not exist, that's not rooted in any sort of value or wealth, locking down an economy to do what?
[00:08:56]  The lockdowns served zero meaningful civilizational or epidemiological purpose.
[00:09:01]  Every study now shows that.
[00:09:03]  We were against the lockdowns from the very beginning.
[00:09:06]  Mask mandates did nothing but made a generation more afraid, suicidal, depressed, anxious, and less self-confident.
[00:09:14]  Vaccine mandates did nothing, made an entire generation more likely to submit to a pharmaceutical industrial complex.
[00:09:23]  And now this generation is rebelling against Biden, but where are the Republicans?

=== Republicans Capitalize on Chaos (15:06) ===

[00:09:31]  Hey, everybody, towels just don't seem to dry you anymore.
[00:09:34]  They feel soft and lotiony in stores, but you get them home and they don't absorb.
[00:09:38]  Well, Mike Lundell at MyPillow found out that around 2006, towels changed forever.
[00:09:42]  They started importing them and adding softeners and other things to the cotton that made them feel good, but they didn't work.
[00:09:48]  He found the best towel company right here in America.
[00:09:50]  They have proprietary technology to create towels that feel soft but actually work.
[00:09:54]  They are all made with USA cotton and they come with a MyPillow 60-day money-back guarantee.
[00:09:59]  It's a six-piece set, two baths, two hand towels, two washcloths made with USA cotton.
[00:10:03]  They're soft yet absorbent.
[00:10:05]  Regularly, $100,999, not $39.99.

[00:10:27]  The Vox article continues by saying they also have a eroded trust in government.
[00:10:34]  This I totally support.
[00:10:35]  Young people not trusting the government.
[00:10:37]  This is always my favorite one-liner when I went to these campuses.
[00:10:40]  I did this for years.
[00:10:42]  In 17, 18, we still go to campuses, but this was when the country was in a much different place.
[00:10:48]  We were in a much more stable position, in particular in 17 and 18.
[00:10:52]  Booming economy, border was largely under control.
[00:10:56]  Putin wasn't invading Ukraine.
[00:10:58]  Inflation wasn't double digits.
[00:11:01]  Inflation was a non-issue.
[00:11:02]  The country was a lot more stable, even though it didn't feel that way at times, looking back at it.
[00:11:07]  And so I used to go to these campuses, like Cleveland State University was kind of one of the most famous ones where I got protested nonstop by all these socialistic apparatchiks.
[00:11:18]  And it's just a very simple question that you need to ask.
[00:11:21]  Okay, do you trust the government, young socialist?
[00:11:25]  No!
[00:11:27]  Then why do you want to make the government bigger?
[00:11:29]  I don't.
[00:11:30]  Wait, you don't?
[00:11:33]  And their entire worldview comes crumbling down in that moment.
[00:11:39]  It says here, quote, two years into the pandemic, no one knows exactly what's happening.
[00:11:44]  Our case is up.
[00:11:45]  It might depend on where you live.
[00:11:46]  But even the way the government tracks risk and reality has changed.
[00:11:49]  You hear that?
[00:11:50]  Vox.com is now saying that the government has a reporting problem.
[00:11:53]  I would be banned from social media for saying such a thing two years ago.
[00:11:58]  Now Vox says it just kind of haphazardly.
[00:12:00]  Biden has suggested that Americans learn to live with the coronavirus, even as cases once again begin to rise.
[00:12:06]  But prematurely declared a summer of freedom, getting out ahead of the CDC on boosters and telling people masking up is now up to them.
[00:12:14]  He muddled the image of a unified government approach.
[00:12:16]  So the Vox.com is so wrong.
[00:12:17]  They think that young people don't like Biden because he's not hawkish enough on COVID, right?
[00:12:24]  It says, quote, the pandemic chaos helped fuel a historic jump in young voters' participation in electoral politics with record numbers of young people voting out to turn against Donald Trump, largely because of mail-in ballots being sent to their home so they could just fill it out and have some pick it up or whatever and put it into a zucker box.
[00:12:43]  But things went downhill around the time Biden promised Americans would be able to declare victory by the 2021 4th of July.
[00:12:50]  It says, quote, the vibes are off with Joe Biden.
[00:12:54]  We kept being told that something better is coming, Rahel Hali, the executive director of Minnesota's Youth Collective, told me.
[00:13:00]  With Joe Biden, it was, oh, this is going to be better than Trump, and the approach is the lesser of two evils.
[00:13:04]  And people are dissatisfied.
[00:13:06]  With that, we want a leader that can actually change things and actually think about the precariousness of the future of a young person's life.
[00:13:12]  Yeah, I mean, you think that Bernie Sanders is radical.
[00:13:14]  They are going to draft a candidate that will make Bernie Sanders look like a moderate.
[00:13:20]  And Republicans, what do you have to do about this?
[00:13:22]  And we've talked about this for a while.
[00:13:23]  Republicans should talk about a national recovery program.
[00:13:28]  A national recovery program that makes it easier for young people to own property, get married, and have children.
[00:13:32]  If we do not fix those three things, this generation will go from hating Biden to loving legitimately radical Marxism.
[00:13:40]  It will happen like that.
[00:13:41]  And so the preconditions for a Marxist or a socialist political movement are when people don't own anything, they're not married in large numbers, and they're not having children.
[00:13:54]  Now, one of the reasons why people do not have children in this country is it's too expensive.
[00:13:58]  It's expensive to have kids.
[00:14:00]  It takes 53 weeks of work a year.
[00:14:03]  You're like, well, there's only 52 weeks.
[00:14:05]  I know.
[00:14:05]  That means you have to go into debt to support a family of four in America.
[00:14:09]  It used to be 35 weeks of work.
[00:14:11]  Productivity is going up, yet American wages are not going up alongside of it.
[00:14:16]  And if you ask kind of most corporate Republicans, they think everything's perfectly fine.
[00:14:20]  Well, of course it isn't.
[00:14:21]  Now, one thing I will agree with corporate Republicans on is the creation of $7 trillion out of thin air was wrong and unnecessary.
[00:14:28]  However, every Republican that was present voted for the COVID relief bill.
[00:14:34]  Every single Republican.
[00:14:38]  And if you go back to our podcast archives two years ago, I believe we were the only program, right, Andrew?
[00:14:44]  I think the only program, one of the only ones that came out opposed the COVID stimulus bill.
[00:14:50]  We were one of the only ones.
[00:14:51]  Remember, we said, no stimulus, this is wrong.
[00:14:54]  Day one, we had that.
[00:14:57]  Because we know economics.
[00:14:58]  I got my whole start in kind of actually studying this stuff.
[00:15:02]  And it was like, nope, got to do something.
[00:15:03]  Why do we have to do something exactly?
[00:15:05]  Well, now we're paying the price of the multiple variations of the stimulus bill, creating money out of thin air, paying people to stay home and do nothing, bailing out companies that didn't need it.
[00:15:16]  Instead, opening up the economy, investing in early treatments, not having a spirit or culture of fear would have prevented all of this.
[00:15:23]  And so Republicans need to get serious about addressing these issues or else at some point, Democrats are going to realize there's a political gold mine here.
[00:15:33]  There is a multi-trillion dollar bill sitting right on the sidewalk that one political party or the other can pick up that could capture younger voters for the next couple decades to come.
[00:15:44]  I hope Republicans start listening.
[00:15:46]  Okay, let's get to the end of this article here all about younger voters.
[00:15:52]  They tend not to identify with a political party, identifying with more commonly with social liberal issues like climate action.
[00:15:58]  Yep, most young people have been propagandized to believe the world is ending because of climate change.
[00:16:03]  Marijuana legalization, that's true.
[00:16:04]  A lot of wheat smokers there.
[00:16:06]  And though they're more liberal than older generations, they're still more moderate ideologically than many leaders claim.
[00:16:12]  I agree with that.
[00:16:13]  The student loan debate shows this divide, though the most progressive wing of younger voters back loan forgiveness, about a third of young people still oppose it.
[00:16:21]  There's an opportunity right now for Republicans to capitalize on this political chaos that is happening.
[00:16:30]  Will Republicans do that?
[00:16:31]  I don't know.
[00:16:32]  I'm not confident in the Republican Party to adjust or to be able to adapt, but it certainly is a great opportunity.
[00:16:40]  We're doing our part.
[00:16:41]  We are.
[00:16:42]  And we're going to have some political news next week of, actually, yeah, a week from today, we're going to be announcing something very exciting that the great Tyler Boyer will be running a political operation to hopefully do some very exciting things in our country.
[00:16:56]  We're going to do our part for younger voters in particular.
[00:17:00]  Whether Republicans will do that or just keep talking about corporate taxes, I'm not sure.
[00:17:05]  So if you look carefully, there's a food shortage happening in America.
[00:17:12]  Here's Bob Unanu on Fox saying that we have weaponized food, the CEO of Goya, play cut 42.
[00:17:22]  Good to see you, Maria.
[00:17:23]  We are on the precipice of a global food crisis.
[00:17:28]  God created humanity.
[00:17:29]  Humanity has created every way to destroy itself from nuclear, biological, chemical.
[00:17:34]  But now we've waged a war.
[00:17:36]  We've weaponized food.
[00:17:39]  We have weaponized food.
[00:17:41]  Now, there are growing signs that there will be a food shortage for reasons that are very complex and multifaceted.
[00:17:51]  Cut 43, the CEO of Goya continues.
[00:17:56]  But what I'm really trying to understand is what's going on with the price of food.
[00:18:00]  We're looking at double-digit increases.
[00:18:02]  Food shortage crisis.
[00:18:04]  Are you talking about a food shortage crisis where Americans are not going to have access to food?
[00:18:12]  We're gluttonous.
[00:18:13]  We're going to have to tighten our belt and consume left.
[00:18:16]  Let's, we've gone from oil independence to oil dependence.
[00:18:20]  We've given up that position.
[00:18:22]  Food shortages might be coming, and that might be a good reason to get a stockpile.
[00:18:28]  Okay, let's get to some sound here.
[00:18:32]  What is the 2020 election going to be about?
[00:18:35]  Well, Joe Scarborough has his opinion.
[00:18:38]  Play Cut 65.
[00:18:40]  That tells you a large chunk of the Republican Party right now, a large chunk of the Republican base, are, well, I'm not exactly sure what word you would, I've been using the word fascist for some time, that there is a fascist strain in the Republican Party for at least a third or so of those members.
[00:19:05]  So can you screen grab that and send that to me that they were looking at?
[00:19:08]  I think that's really helpful.
[00:19:10]  So I was dialoguing late last night with a friend of mine from Chicago who I really respect.
[00:19:15]  And I'm going to just kind of read part of our back and forth, the essence of it, which was a really interesting conversation, which is, can we pinpoint what the left is thinking right now?
[00:19:28]  Typically, when it comes to domestic politics or when it comes to what's happening here in America, I'm not always as murky as I am right now.
[00:19:37]  Okay, so just to finish the point on this, though, when things happen domestically, typically I could see things very clearly, but I'm a little bit murky.
[00:19:45]  I'm a little bit unclear on some things, and maybe you guys can help us.
[00:19:48]  Email is freedom at charliekirk.com, help our entire team, and let me explain why, which is what are Democrats thinking right now?
[00:19:57]  I'm a little bit uncertain and confused why the Democrats are accelerating the continuance of what could be called a suicide mission.
[00:20:09]  Either they have a great plan to cheat coming into November, or they figure there's still enough time to ruin the country, or the third option is they're just completely and totally delusional.
[00:20:22]  I've been trying to put myself in their shoes for the last couple of days and weeks, and I'm sure you have as well.
[00:20:28]  The Democrats, I believe, have always been very good at playing chess.
[00:20:33]  When we think we have them dead to rights, COVID comes and mail-in ballot zucker boxes, and the Time magazine article by Molly Ball gets written of the shadow campaign that won the 2020 election.
[00:20:47]  I've been observing some of the Twitter comments and the liberal media comments very closely.
[00:20:54]  And I think that the group think between the left, it's so dense, and the kind of sheltering from all their safe spaces is that they just can't think rationally.
[00:21:05]  Now, this is one theory.
[00:21:07]  It's as if they're having these kind of delusional tendencies and suffering from self-inflicted denial.
[00:21:15]  Now, it really begs the question, like, is the left going through some form of a nervous breakdown of some kind?
[00:21:22]  I mean, there could be very serious psychological underpinnings of this.
[00:21:28]  Now, if the left is able to get kind of another emergency in the fall, that might be their default plan.
[00:21:36]  But I do wonder, which is what are the Democrats thinking internally?
[00:21:42]  And I mean, we can conjecture, we can guess, we can speculate.
[00:21:48]  We do know that we as conservatives are wired to think less about our own kind of narcissistic tendencies and more about the country or the nation as a whole.
[00:22:01]  I'm struggling to kind of find what their game plan is here.
[00:22:04]  Now, if you can find their game plan, then you can better thwart it.
[00:22:08]  Now, one other potential theory is that Democrats believe it's inevitable that the opposition party takes back the House, and you might as well not fight it too hard, win the redistricting, win the infrastructure of it, try to lessen your losses.
[00:22:22]  Republicans are going to win the House.
[00:22:24]  That's just kind of part of the cycle of politics, but we're still going to be in charge of the deep state.
[00:22:29]  We're still going to be in charge of the bureaucracy and kind of accelerating the suicide mission.
[00:22:34]  We might as well accelerate it because no matter what we will do, we're going to lose power in the off-election year of a midterm year after winning the presidency.
[00:22:42]  There might be kind of this acceptance of the inevitability of political collapse.
[00:22:48]  That might be part of it.
[00:22:49]  So, put that MSNBC thing up back on screen because this actually ties perfectly to it.
[00:22:54]  Okay, so this is a Politico Morning Consult poll, which is what voters consider to be a major problem for a candidate running for office.
[00:23:04]  Is that right, Connor?
[00:23:04]  That's what they're talking about, a candidate here?
[00:23:06]  It seems as if.
[00:23:07]  Okay, so 81% of Democrats, 81% of Republicans believe if a candidate committed a felony, that's a major problem.
[00:23:17]  Okay, so then also domestic violence, 81% of Democrats say domestic violence would be a major problem, 67% of Republicans.
[00:23:26]  It goes on to a very interesting one, though, which is the homophobic remarks.
[00:23:30]  25% of Republicans consider that to be a major problem, and 71% of Democrats consider that to be a major problem.
[00:23:37]  Racist remarks, 38% of Republicans consider that to be a major problem, and 80% is Democrats.
[00:23:42]  Now, on the surface, it looks like how terrible Republicans, but no, you know why?
[00:23:48]  Because Republicans don't believe that what is considered to be racist and homophobic is actually racist and homophobic.
[00:23:54]  They know that those words have no meaning anymore.
[00:23:56]  You could take that down, Connor.
[00:23:57]  Which is, and by the way, why is political polling this?
[00:24:00]  It's like, there's a lot of other problems than other whether you think people have homophobic and racist remarks.
[00:24:05]  Republicans just don't believe those accusations anymore.
[00:24:08]  They're like, wait, I don't really care because it's not actually what you say it is.
[00:24:16]  And you kind of tie this into what Democrats are thinking.
[00:24:19]  Well, instead of what are they thinking, let's look at what they are doing.
[00:24:25]  What they are doing is a rapid, intentional, and accelerated decline of the country.
[00:24:32]  Now, why they are doing that, we can have our own theories.

=== Oregon Voters Turn Sour (03:41) ===

[00:24:38]  And we can even see in a place like Oregon, very liberal Oregon, according to Breitbart.com, Oregon voters are souring on Democrat leadership.
[00:24:48]  Oregon voters have turned on Biden and Democrat Kate Brown.
[00:24:53]  Oregon is one of the five most liberal states in America.
[00:24:56]  It goes California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island.
[00:25:04]  Those are like the most liberal states in the country by far.
[00:25:08]  Voters in the state of Oregon, who have reliably voted Democrat in every presidential election since 1988, do not have a favorable view of Joe Biden.
[00:25:17]  63% of voters in Oregon have a negative view of Joe Biden.
[00:25:23]  53% of those have a very negative view, making his net approval negative 28% in Oregon.
[00:25:32]  Now, mind you, part of the reason is this not because they think that Trump is great.
[00:25:36]  They don't think he's progressive enough.
[00:25:39]  They don't think he's liberal enough that he's doing enough in the progressive direction, which of course is absurd.
[00:25:45]  It shows you how far left some of these states actually have become.
[00:25:48]  But I would love your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:25:51]  What is the left thinking right now?
[00:25:56]  What is the left thinking?
[00:25:57]  What are they doing?
[00:25:58]  What are they plotting?
[00:25:59]  I think it's a combination.
[00:26:00]  They have a plan.
[00:26:02]  They think there's inevitability that Congress will turn over, try to limit the losses, and then try to implement their own kind of central bureaucracy further so that no matter who controls Congress, they still control the country.
[00:26:15]  Something worth thinking about.
[00:26:19]  For a couple years now, people have been setting up a contest between crypto and gold.
[00:26:23]  But that's like comparing a truck with an SUV.
[00:26:25]  Both carry stuff and travel from A to B, but they do different jobs.
[00:26:28]  Gold's job is to keep the value of your money safe and preserve its value.
[00:26:32]  And since Ukraine, the oil and the inflation crisis has done a brilliant job compared to stocks and other investments.
[00:26:37]  So if you're worried about what's going on right now, who isn't?

[00:27:07]  I'm going to close this hour by playing some tape just about some cultural issues and also some spiritual issues.
[00:27:14]  This is just so amazing to me.
[00:27:16]  Cut 64, the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania.
[00:27:18]  I was just in Pennsylvania, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
[00:27:20]  Great folks there.
[00:27:21]  Amish country.
[00:27:22]  I have so much respect for the Amish.
[00:27:24]  If you want to slow down, just go to the south of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 20 minutes.
[00:27:30]  You might find yourself stuck behind a horse buggy, and you'll start asking yourself the question: why is everyone drying their clothes outside?
[00:27:41]  Well, that answers the question.
[00:27:43]  The answer is in the question, actually.
[00:27:46]  Cut 64, the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, says he wants to eliminate the filibuster to codify abortion without any limitations.
[00:27:55]  I don't believe there should be any limits to abortion, play cut 64.
[00:27:58]  To make sure that we codify women's reproductive freedom in law to make sure that even if the Supreme Court does go down that road and eliminate or revoke Roe v. Wade, that we already existingly codify that into law.
[00:28:15]  And are there any limits on abortion you would find appropriate?
[00:28:18]  I don't believe so.
[00:28:19]  No.

=== Fetterman Wants to Cut 64 (03:52) ===

[00:28:20]  That guy's a psychopath.
[00:28:21]  He's a weird dude.
[00:28:23]  So he looks like a trucker.
[00:28:25]  He looks like a coal miner, but he talks like a 20-year-old non-binary gender social justice activist from Drexel.
[00:28:34]  It's the weirdest thing.
[00:28:36]  It's like you look at him.
[00:28:37]  He looks like a muscular labor guy, like he's going to be working in the mines, like fracking in like central Pennsylvania, like an Altoona Pennsylvania guy.
[00:28:45]  And he starts talking as if he's like a college professor.
[00:28:48]  It's the weirdest thing.
[00:28:50]  So a seemingly unrelated clip that I just have to play is this woman who I think was in Transformers once.
[00:28:56]  I haven't seen her in a long time.
[00:28:59]  Megan Fox, whoever that is.
[00:29:02]  And apparently she's, I ask, I love when I ask, I say, so what's she famous for?
[00:29:06]  Oh, she's famous for being famous.
[00:29:08]  Oh, yeah, we need more of that.
[00:29:10]  Okay.
[00:29:11]  So you could kind of build out kind of whatever you want to take from this.
[00:29:16]  But if you're trying to tell me there's no spiritual dimension to all this, you're not looking close enough.
[00:29:24]  Play cut 74.
[00:29:25]  It's just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other's blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.
[00:29:34]  It is used for a reason, and it is controlled where it's like, let's shed a few drops of blood.
[00:29:39]  I need to drink it.
[00:29:40]  He's much more haphazard and hectic and chaotic where he's willing to just like cut his chest open with broken glass and be like, take my soul.
[00:29:49]  Let me bleed on you.
[00:29:51]  It doesn't not happen, let me tell you.
[00:29:53]  Maybe not exactly like that, but a version of that has happened many times.
[00:30:00]  So she's talking about her boyfriend or whatever, machine gun Kelly, whoever that is.
[00:30:09]  And they're in some sort of relationship, I suppose.
[00:30:12]  So what is the reason?
[00:30:13]  We do this for a reason.
[00:30:14]  What is the reason?
[00:30:16]  And she says it's a ritual.
[00:30:18]  Oh, it's her fiancé?
[00:30:20]  Okay.
[00:30:20]  So what is the ritual exactly?
[00:30:22]  So I'm not exactly like cued into witchcraft or pagan bloodletting ceremonies.
[00:30:29]  Connor, do we have a research team on that?
[00:30:31]  Are we looking into the pagan ceremonies?
[00:30:35]  We're looking into that.
[00:30:36]  So again, I don't want to jump to any conclusions.
[00:30:38]  Who am I to judge, right?
[00:30:39]  Like drinking each other's blood for ritualistic purposes.
[00:30:42]  Live and let live, right?
[00:30:43]  Do we have a witchologist we could have on the program?
[00:30:46]  Witchology?
[00:30:47]  Yeah.
[00:30:48]  She said, quote, this is her caption.
[00:30:52]  Somehow a year and a half later, having worked, walked through hell together, having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him.
[00:31:00]  And just in every lifetime before this one, as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes, and then we drank each other's blood.
[00:31:08]  She's like a celebrity.
[00:31:09]  I guess this is a thing that Hollywood does, which is like blood drinking ceremonies.
[00:31:16]  Again, I don't know much about that at all.
[00:31:19]  I believe, at least from my own superficial understanding, drinking each other's blood is very pagan and is rooted in witchcraft.
[00:31:28]  And she's someone I guess people follow, somewhat of an important person.
[00:31:35]  Spiritual dimension, look a step further, look a level deeper.
[00:31:41]  Oh, okay.
[00:31:41]  So Connor says this is who girls have to look up to.
[00:31:44]  Is that right?
[00:31:44]  Girls look up to her.
[00:31:46]  People look up to her.
[00:31:47]  What do they look up to her for?
[00:31:48]  The blood drinking?
[00:31:51]  She was in Transformers, and you never hear from her for like 15 years.
[00:31:55]  Find different role models that don't drink each other's blood.
[00:32:00]  That would probably be a good takeaway in life.
