Glenn Beck introduces Mock and Daisy of "Chicks on the Right," who recount their 15-year journey from a Facebook-banned blog to podcasting, detailing their thick-skinned response to controversies like "whore shorts" accusations and death threats. They critique modern feminism's focus on abortion, defend biological definitions against trans ideology, and condemn "woke" hiring practices while advocating for gold investments via Lear Capital to hedge against financial instability. Ultimately, the hosts argue that declining American standards and authoritarian language control are fracturing gender dynamics and threatening societal cohesion. [Automatically generated summary]
All right, I want to start with reading you a headline from NBC News.
It says, suburban women help Biden win in 2020, and they may play an outsized role in key swing states again.
Yes, the sleeper cell that could sway the 2024 election is the mom next door.
And the truth is, the GOP is struggling with her.
They don't know how to connect.
So I brought a couple of experts in who I just, I love, to give the GOP the answer maybe to the age-old question, what do women want?
These two are hysterical.
They have millions of followers.
They say the conservative movement needs a makeover, and it does, unless we want another four years of Joe Biden.
I think they're right on this.
But I have so much to talk to them.
And they will talk about anything from birth control to the border crisis to whore shorts.
You'll understand it in a minute.
Welcome.
Podcast hosts, entrepreneurs, moms, meme-making machines, the chicks on the right, Mock and Daisy.
I learned something.
I've been having problems with my eyes and floaters in my eyes and everything else.
And maybe you've gone through that.
But what I learned is those will go away.
And it's not that they actually go away.
We see with our brain and not with our eyes.
The brain constantly senses what's happening and fills in so much.
But the more narrow our field of vision gets, the harder the brain has to work.
So we have to have strong eyes, but also to help the brain make optimal decisions, we also have to see as much as we possibly can.
This is why you need as much vision field as you can and much peripheral vision as possible.
Vision is so important to humans that almost half of your brain capacity and 25% of our day's energy is dedicated just in seeing.
All right.
So what am I talking to you about?
I'm talking to you about Rodenstock's biometric intelligent glasses.
Your brain will adapt to them nearly instantly.
You don't have to go home and get used to your glasses.
They're going to feel natural and relaxing, and you'll have seamless visual experience and visual acuity, unlike you've had when you've worn glasses in the past.
The peripheral vision, the vision down and up, it just blends.
It's really easy on your on your eyes.
Biometric intelligent glasses with artificial intelligence.
They're at Rodenstock.

Daisy.
I think I have to start because if people don't know you, I mean, I think I have to start with the whore shorts.
We knew it.
Dang it.
I was afraid of this.
I knew it.
Yeah.
That's part of our bio.
I mean, yes.
You guys are.
I mean, I've seen the photos.
Yeah.
What a couple of sluts you.
Right?
For OnlyFans.
I knew that was going to come up.
Holy shit.
I just knew that was going to come up.
Dang, scouts.
What are you going to do?
The whore shorts.
Well, you know what?
It's an interesting story because we just thought we were taking best friend photos that we were going to have as our PR photos for our website.
And the hullabaloo that came out of those photos because it was July when we took them and I was in shorts.
And you know what I mean?
We were still modest.
I mean, I don't wear shorts in the summertime because I'm not a whore like you.
I don't know anybody that prostitutes who wear shorts.
I know, right?
Who wears shorts in the summertime.
I ask you, Glenn.
But that was the reaction.
There was just a lot.
We've had some people over the years, unfortunately, on our side of the aisle who were like, that's inappropriate.
And you shouldn't show so much leg.
It's so crazy that I find this with religion sometimes, how people will just separate themselves from each other because, you know, well, you're not Christian enough or you're not this.
And then, you know, conservatives, and it's so strange because if you're more of a libertarian conservative, the whole idea is be who you are.
You do you.
And there's libertarians who are like, he's not a libertarian.
You're like, what?
Wait a minute.
I thought this was be you boo, but apparently not.
Yeah, we've been getting that for 15 years.
We've been, in fact, our whore shorts.
Well, just the you're not conservative.
You're not this, you're not that.
You don't fit in this compartmentalized little box that I've created for you.
And we reject that.
We've just always rejected that because we feel like if you feel like you're conservative and you have these conservative ideals, like just come sit at our table, man.
You know, it's what we want.
And that's why I think we've, you know, we've just gathered like this group of misfits almost in our community.
And that's what we're most proud of is building community.
That's what we've done, I think, really well.
This week is our 15-year anniversary.
Gosh, we're like cockroaches.
They can't kill us.
And what a nice thing.
This is after the wars.
They were the cockroaches of the chicks on the right.
And this was the best way to spend a 15th anniversary.
Totally.
What a wonderful thing.
I mean, you have radio background.
We do.
Yeah.
That's not easy to put people together or have people come together.
Well, we were together before.
So we became best friends and started a website together back in 2008.
And it wasn't until our website received an explosion of publicity because Facebook, we were the first.
We were the OGs of getting canceled on Facebook because of a headline.
2008?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow, what did you say?
2009, 2009.
What did you do?
I'll tell you.
I had written a post.
It was the shorts again.
Amazingly, this wasn't about the shorts, but I had written an inflammatory headline about Jay Carney.
So at the time, I said something like, Jay Carney can kiss my ostular area.
I think is how I put it.
And the trolls came out en masse, reported the post, and Facebook threatened to shut us down.
And at that time, that was unheard of.
And so it made news and it even got talked about on the view.
Oh, this site Chicks on the Right is getting shut down by Facebook.
Whoopbe user.
I remember she, nowadays, she would never say, oh, their name is really cool.
But like back then, remember, she said, that's a cool name.
Chicks on the right.
Oh, my gosh, how times have changed, right?
Well, she was never sincere.
I know her, so she's never sincere.
I mean, she's just crazy.
But by the time the radio thing happened, that's why.
So we got heard about, our popularity exploded at that point.
And so people started hearing about us, including the local Indianapolis program director for WIBC.
And so he reached out and said, have you ever done radio?
And we had appeared as guests on a bunch of shows.
And we were like, yeah, we'll come on your show.
He said, no, I was thinking more like you would have a show.
And then we auditioned with a lot of other bigwigs and somehow managed to score afternoon drive.
Yeah, when they offered us afternoon drive, we went into this.
That's a big deal.
It was a huge deal.
We didn't realize how big of a deal it was.
And we went into this conference room with a bunch of these big wigs at WIBC.
And I asked them if they were drunk.
Did you remember that day?
Like it was yesterday because we just couldn't believe it because we both were in the corporate world and doing this Chicks on the Right thing on the side.
And it's always been like our little baby.
And when that happened, we thought, oh my gosh, I can't believe this.
What a blessing that was.
I mean, we were so grateful for the opportunity.
And we did that for eight years, about eight years in radio.
And then I moved here to Texas.
And then our podcast, we were doing that simultaneously for a couple of years.
And then it was just a divine thing.
I think our connection, the fact that we were best friends, that was very divine the way it was.
How did you guys meet?
Oh, that's such a story.
It's the best story ever, actually.
Very serene.
So she grew up in Georgia, as did my husband.
But then she was in Indianapolis.
I was in Indianapolis.
I was a corporate recruiter.
And I was looking for a writer.
She was a medical writer at the time.
And I had interviewed her on the phone.
I'd found her resume.
She'd applied.
I interviewed her.
It didn't work out for whatever reason.
And that was back in 2007.
And then in 2008, when people were starting to get really, really comfortable with Facebook and using it a lot, and you, back in the day, you could see if you had a friend that became friends with someone else.
And I saw that one of the groomsmen in our wedding, who was from Atlanta, like my husband, was friends with her on Facebook.
And I remembered her name because she hyphenated it on Facebook.
And it's an unusual last name.
I don't know if you want to.
Yeah, my maiden name is Putz.
I mean, I have a good sense of humor.
Oh, my gosh.
I remember, obviously.
And I reached out to our groomsmen online.
I was like, why do you know her?
I know I interviewed her here in Indianapolis.
And he said, well, I grew up with her and so did your husband.
So then I immediately had to contact her and say, I know you're not.
She stay away from my husband.
They got me on date.
Oh, no, you're not the horror short.
And she stalked me.
I mean, I did stalk you.
She stalked me a little bit.
I was a little afraid of her at first.
I was like, she's a little bit more.
Because you know how you know when you're just going to connect with someone?
Yeah, but that's sometimes scary.
It's a little scary.
It's a little scary.
But she is.
No, but you're not saying, I know we're supposed to be together.
I didn't see that right away.
She didn't, but she was very persistent.
And she was like, we've got to meet.
We've got to meet.
And I said, okay, fine.
You know, she was wanting me to come in to meet her to talk about this job that she had.
And I already had a job.
And so I was like, I really don't need to do this, but I'll meet her anyway because it's the right thing to do, you know, because this background that we have in common.
So I went and I met her and it was like stepbrothers.
Do we just become best friends?
It was kind of fun.
My best friend and I, we met through radio and we didn't think we'd like each other at all over the phone.
But somebody said, you two have to get together.
By the time we hit the airport exit, we were best friends.
I mean, instantaneous.
Yeah, you just knew.
Instantly, we just knew.
And then since we've just been kind of inseparable ever since.
And that was the summer of 2008.
And she did come work for my company.
I did.
And that's, and we had never been political at that point, really ever.
I mean, we voted and that was about the extent of our interest.
I think people.
I mean, I wasn't until 2001.
Really?
Yeah.
I hated politics.
I hated talk radio.
Yeah.
I hated it all.
I went in, kind of like with Fox when I went to Fox.
I kind of mocked it from the inside.
That's what I was doing on talk radio until September 11th.
And then it got serious all of a sudden.
Yeah, it was pivotal.
For us, it was Obama.
It was, who is this guy?
Everybody thinks he's a rock star.
This is so weird.
What do you think?
So you're a racist.
You're racist tendencies.
Yeah, yeah.
Honestly, we've been a lot since 2008.
But that was just a very strange phenomenon for us.
And so we talked about that a lot over Chips and Salsa.
And we would go to the Mexican restaurant at lunch because we worked together.
And we like culturally appropriating.
Right, totally.
Exactly.
Totally.
With our embraces.
You embrace it because you're racist.
Exactly.
So we would go to lunch every day and we'd be talking about it.
I'm like, you know what?
We should start a website because the way that we talk about this is in a way that a lot of people aren't talking about it, which is very conversational.
And, you know, just two chicks talking about politics.
And so we came up with the idea of Chicks on the Right and we did blog in a way that was very conversational.
And it was, it kind of gained a cult following at the beginning.
Weirdly enough, it was just like our parents at first reading it.
I don't even think my parents read it.
My parents may, I don't think they did.
I'd like to thank my parents read it at first.
And then we gained a little cult following and then it kind of snowballed a little from there.
And then we got the, you know, the whole deal where we were shut down and then we got a little bit more and more and then it sort of became what it is today.
It's crazy.
And I just, I feel like a lot of it really is.
I mean, for lack of a better phrase, it's, it is divine.
I feel like a lot we were supposed to be doing this because there have been times along the way in the past 15 years where at least I won't speak for you, but I've tried to walk away from it because I've been thinking, well, maybe, you know, we're getting a little too old for this or we're hens now.
You know, we're or not chicks anymore.
Because we've never reached the level.
The hens on the right.
We've never reached the level where we're like super stardom.
You know, we've always had just a nice, steady level of success.
And we both have worked in corporate America.
Between the two of us, we've been in corporate America.
We were for a collective like half a century.
So, I mean, I've always thought, well, maybe the right thing to do is to work in corporate America.
And so I've tried to step away, you know, a time or two, and it's always pulled me back.
And so there's just, I'm irresistible.
Right.
It's very modest.
Very modest.
I think your humility is there.
Dad and the horse shorts.
Yeah, Right.
The Rage of Corporate America00:15:32
So explain the names.
Oh, so before Chicks on the Right, I had a blog that was with, I set it up with a few friends back in the day and then took it over completely.
And it was all about just wanting to poke fun at strange people, celebrities, even some politics here and there.
And so I knew it was going to be a blog dedicated and that I wanted to write about things in a mocking way.
I wanted to mock things.
And I'd asked my husband at the time, I need a name, because I knew that the site name was going to be the mock doc, like, because it just worked.
And I said, but I need a name to go with that because I don't want to use my real name because there's crazies out there.
And he said, how about the mock arena?
And I was like, I love that.
And so it's always been shortened to mock.
And that's how I came to be known.
And it just sort of transferred over when we started Chicks on the Right.
And interestingly, when we were in radio and we switched from afternoons to mornings, there was a time when we thought we should go by our real names.
We've written a book under our real names.
We should actually try to establish our real names now that everybody knows who we are anyway.
And our audience revolted.
Like they were like, you cannot do that.
We know you as Mach and Daisy.
And we're like, okay, okay.
And so we just left.
Where did Daisy come from?
It's not as interesting.
I mean, I just like the flower gate.
I had to come up with a moniker.
And I have a tattoo of a Daisy on my head.
And so I was like, I'll just go with Daisy.
It works.
So it's not nearly as interesting.
Yeah, you got to come up with a better person.
I know, right?
I do, don't I?
I got to lie to come up with something better.
So you and I have something in common.
I have a daughter with cerebral palsy.
That's right.
I think I did know that.
Yeah.
And she's not in the situation that your son is in.
Why don't you explain for anybody who doesn't know you guys your situation with your son?
So my older son is 27 and he was born premature.
Both my kids were actually.
So my oldest son was born at 30 weeks and it was a completely disastrous birth.
It was just a complete nightmare.
And I was at a, it was on a Saturday.
I had no idea that I was even ill, but I had preeclampsia and so it became an emergency.
And I was sent to a teaching hospital where there were no staff physicians monitoring the monitor that I was hooked up to.
Yeah, so it took about eight hours before they realized, oh, his heartbeat is decelerating with every contraction.
Maybe we should get him out.
And so by the time they did get him out, he was blue.
And so he suffered obviously a lack of oxygen to the brain, which you know was the cause of that.
And then on top of cerebral palsy, he had periventricular leukomalacia, which is a mouthful, but it is a damage to the white matter of the brain.
So that actually, I think, is what caused most of his disabilities.
Because cerebral palsy, as you know, is kind of a blanket.
Yeah.
I mean, you just really have no idea how involved someone will be.
And so he's been, I mean, he's, you know, been completely dependent on others for every aspect of his care since he was anybody.
When my daughter was born, they said if this happened to an adult, you'd never walk, talk, feed themselves, et cetera, et cetera.
I lucked out.
My daughter is just an absolute miracle.
But it is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
Yeah, it's she's she's at the point where she, you know, she's you wouldn't notice.
You would just notice some things were off, but you wouldn't know exactly what it was.
And she is the brightest, sweetest, kindest person.
And I always feel, I don't know, I always, I've always felt like I'm going to answer for just not having the patience or dedicating my everything to, and I know you did.
And now you get heat because you can't physically handle him.
Yeah, I mean, because we moved him into like a, I don't want to say assisted living, but I guess that's kind of what it is.
It's a, it's a, it's a house.
It's just a regular house that he shares with a roommate now, which has 24-hour care.
And I'm getting heat, or I have gotten heat recently because I made that sort of public that we're moving from Indianapolis to South Carolina.
He's going to be staying in Indiana in his house because they have remarkable care there.
And it was a really difficult decision to move him because, you know, we'd cared for him for 23 years.
And all of a sudden to realize our bodies are breaking and we're not going to be able, we're not going to be able to do this any longer.
And we're not giving our younger son the kind of life that he needs to have.
We could never go anywhere as a family, for example, because of the wheelchair van only fitting a certain number of people.
I mean, there was always, there were always other factors to take into account.
But yeah, I've gotten some recent heat about that.
And interestingly, I just, I wanted you to know that I started listening to you during the Terry Shaivo story.
Oh, wow.
And it meant so much to me that your take on it because the pictures of her and the videos of her responding to her parents reminded me so much of my son.
That's exactly the look, right?
That look of joy.
It was, that's why her story connected with me so much and why I started following you.
I tell you, it is, that was the, you know, I was on the other side at first because I didn't really think it through.
I thought, well, I wouldn't want to be that way.
Well, that, wait a minute.
And then I got to know the family.
And I believe she was absolutely there.
You know, just not just not in the way she was, but she was absolutely there.
And any society that devalues life is in trouble.
And we, boy, we are in big trouble.
Yeah, because I mean, what, Thomas, they told you that Thomas wasn't supposed to live past a certain age.
And I, you know, and being her best friend for, what, 16 years, I look at all the things that she's been through with him.
And he's just, he, teenagers are hardened.
Right.
Just teenage.
Exactly.
But then when you add, oh, he's got to have surgery this week.
He's got to do this.
He just, this happened to him.
It's like a lot of physical stuff that happens.
And I mean, personality-wise, he can't speak.
He can't tell you what's wrong with him.
But he's just like her.
He's just like her.
Because his disposal is also wearing a lot of shit.
He wears what he wears.
But he is just like, in the respect that he's so positive.
You know what I mean?
The fact that he is 27 is just remarkable.
He's a freaking superhero, you know, that kid.
And so that's a testament to the human spirit.
It's, he's, he's a rock star.
That kid.
I get emotional when I talk about that because I've seen what she's gone through, you know, and it's just remarkable.
That kid's remarkable.
She's remarkable.
He's remarkable.
And people who judge that, I want to punch them in the face.
You know what I mean?
You just can't, unless you've lived that experience, it's just not okay to judge it, you know?
And, you know, it's just, it's like with everything, we all have different tolerance levels.
Right.
You know, and it's so, some people, it's just so easy.
Yeah.
And others, besides being physical, others, it's just, it's difficult.
It's difficult.
My daughter has a tough time communicating times.
And I always, I always walk away just thinking, you know, a better man could do this.
A better man could break through and understand.
And, you know, it just plays games with you.
Yeah.
At least it did with me.
No, I totally get it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So let's talk a little bit about the state of the world first.
You guys are happy and optimistic.
How do you do that?
You know, we just did a deep dive about my rage that I had earlier this week, as a matter of fact, because we were having an unseasonably nice day in Indianapolis and I took a walk through our neighborhood.
And I have been, you can ask her, anybody can vouch.
I have been the happy, optimistic person since I was itty bitty.
That's just my nature.
I laugh all the time.
I love to laugh.
I love it.
And I'm genuinely a happy person.
But this last few years has made me so angry in so many ways.
And we have a responsibility.
I feel like we do, to our audience to be happy warriors because that's how we've always been.
But it has become harder over these last few years.
And earlier this week when I took my walk, I realized that I saw strangers in the neighborhood that were Hispanic, that got out of their car suddenly with big bags and were looking very suspicious.
And ultimately, I think that they were putting flyers in everybody's mailbox to sell whatever service they might have been selling.
But the rage I felt that I was afraid, where I would have never been afraid of that three years ago, four years ago.
And now because of the border, because of how, because of all the crime, because of how people have become so humanityless.
You know what I mean?
There's just this lack of humanity and love for one another.
And I am fearful, which I've never been before, in ways that I've never been before.
And so I had to vent to her and I was like, I'm so mad at Joe Biden for making me afraid and for making me angry.
Because that's not who I am.
It's weird because I think she started out more as the, everything is great.
When we started the site, she was very much of the, she saw everything with rose color glasses and I was more of the cynic.
And I think we've switched places.
We totally have.
It's really weird.
Have we got to do that?
That's a good relationship.
My wife and I are like that.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where, you know, one is up, the other one is down.
That's, that's great.
So we've, yeah, we've just merged.
It's weird how much.
Otherwise, you're both down.
Yeah.
I mean, I think she's right that we do have a responsibility to our audience.
So we try to keep it upbeat.
And, you know, we're best friends.
We like to have fun.
It's not like when you have a friend or when you have a marriage or whatever, you don't want to be doom and gloom all the time.
You want to have fun together.
So that's, I think doing it together, doing what we do together, as opposed to doing it as a solo operation makes it like we're having a party every day.
You know, we're having a girl's day out every day.
I mean, we, even though we're having to talk about really serious things, and we do it, we touch on the serious things, but we always end our show.
We'll do like an hour, hour and a half show, sometimes two hours, depending on what kind of a news cycle it is.
But we'll always end the show with funny TikToks or funny stories or, you know, these are meme machines.
Yeah, we do like funny memes.
We'll do just, we'll try to find positive good things every single day because, you know, we are in a cycle of suck right now where things are just not, they're just not that great.
I mean, I live in Texas and I, I, we are, we're on the border.
And so I understand that things are not the greatest.
And so I, I try to pep her up.
She tries to pet me up.
We do it with our audience.
And that is our responsibility.
And it's not to say that, you know, even when I have these, these flashes of rage, that what we do on our show isn't genuine because it absolutely is.
And we do genuinely have a great time.
But I've found the longer that you're in sort of this world where you are consuming the news and the news cycle constantly and you never get a break because you have to know what's going on.
It's 24-7.
I have to have like meltdowns a couple of times a year where I have to like on a weekend just watch, you know, steal magnolias or like beaches or something.
And just let it out because otherwise you, it will wreck you.
And I don't want to be, I don't want to be someone who's filled with rage.
And so I know the way, you know, I know how to self-care enough that like, I know I need a good cry sometimes and then I'll be fine.
And then I'll get right back to it.
But I've noticed that the rage comes more often under this administration than it ever has been.
I just have cows.
That helps.
Cows help.
It does help.
And dogs does help.
Totally.
Yeah.
I learned a phrase.
We were having a problem with one of my teenagers and we just didn't know what to do.
So we went to a psychologist or psychiatrist and said, all right, we're losing our minds.
And he said, remember this phrase.
Huh?
It's going to be interesting to see how you work that out.
And I said, wait, what?
He said, you say that to teenagers.
They're old enough to work it out now and they dump all these things on you and you as the parent feel like, I got to get them.
He said, start saying the phrase, huh?
I'm interested to see how you're going to work that out.
I love that logo.
I absolutely love that.
And I've been saying that about the news now lately.
It's like, it's going to be interesting to see how that works out.
Senator.
Yeah.
I love that.
That is fantastic.
Yeah, just a little easier.
So you guys are about as big of fans of the Republican Party, I think, as I am.
Oh, yeah.
Huge fan.
Just love them.
They can't get out of their own way.
Oh, yeah.
We say that a lot.
I think we say it in probably a more vulgar way.
They step on their own, you know what, a lot.
Yeah, they do that.
And it gets very frustrating because for 15 years, we feel like we've been saying a lot of the things where they just, their PR is terrible.
Terrible.
Can't get they, and it seems like it's such an obvious fix.
A lot of these things are so, but a lot of them are 81 years old.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Or older.
Yeah.
They're just like not.
I mean, it is time for that generation to go.
Yes.
But they also, I mean, I think they, I think the party is stronger on constitutional things than it has been in the 25 years I've been watching.
Yeah.
But they're still, they're still not in charge.
Why do you think that they stay so long?
Why are these old people hanging on?
Is it because of power?
Power and money.
It's the power.
It's the power and money.
And they all come out wealthy.
Wealthy.
Yeah, but I mean, Obama said at some point you've made enough money, right?
And it's like, what is he?
What's that amount?
I'm wondering.
What's the figure?
Oh, I'll wait for him to tell us that amount.
Yeah, I'd like to know.
Long past the time.
The actual monetary figure is.
But one of the problems you guys have, I think, is, and rightfully so, the right inability to connect with women.
Yeah.
And we're right here.
I mean, it doesn't seem hard.
The Suburban Mom Disconnect00:11:42
And yet, you know, we're also disillusioned by a lot of the suburban moms that we are lumped in with, right?
Because we think so differently.
I mean, there's so much of this white guilt that so many liberal suburban moms are bogged down with that we cannot relate to at all.
Yeah.
The ones that put like the things around their faces during COVID and their Facebook profile.
And they're like, I just got vaccinated.
And like all that.
I mean, they virtue signal and they feel guilty about things.
And we just, yeah, we don't identify with that at all.
We're just not those people.
But there are a lot of women like us.
I think there are.
I want to believe there are.
We feel like there are.
They're out there.
They come to our meet and greets.
They hang out with us.
They talk to us.
We have a great community.
I mean, they're there.
And I feel like those people represent more people that just haven't found us or they just don't say that they found us.
So I don't, we feel like they exist.
We feel like there are more women like us that have common sense.
That's not.
It's there.
All it is.
It's common sense.
Yeah.
It is.
It's a lack of, I think it's a lack of gratitude, a lack of humility, a lack of compassion more and more, and common sense.
That's it.
Yeah.
Because we're just grateful for a few things.
Right.
Yes.
Yes.
The graciousness.
That's what I try to always teach my daughter.
My daughter is, I have a stepdaughter and a daughter is 14.
And I'm just like, just be grateful.
Be grateful that you're American, that you live in this country.
You could be living in a crap hole country somewhere and not have you.
She's a swimmer.
She's a state level swimmer.
And I always say, there are countries where you're not even allowed to swim.
Imagine that.
I mean, you can't wear this.
You can't do this.
You can't drive.
You can't, think of just the freedom you have as a woman to be a woman.
Is the women's movement a sham?
Totally.
Is there a women's movement now?
Or is it just an abortion movement?
Right.
It's basically an abortion.
But what is a woman now?
I mean, that's the thing.
Yeah, that will apparently have trouble defining it now.
So I don't even know if that exists anymore the way that we used to know a women's movement to exist.
Speaking of swimming, it's like there is right.
They can't define what a woman is.
And then there are men trampling in our spaces.
And so it's.
I mean, I think it's the most anti-woman thing I've seen in my lifetime.
Oh, yeah.
Totally.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like all of that work to define a woman as strong and independent and, you know, the individual.
Yeah.
And all of it now.
And women being shamed if they don't say, he's a beautiful woman.
Yeah.
No, he's not.
Or he can come and play in my sport.
Right.
Like, what is that?
And where are the feminists?
Where are they?
We always ask that question and there's crickets.
I know.
Well, where are the feminists?
I love these people who are the LGBTQ community that is protesting.
and marching for Hamas or Palestine.
And you're like, they'll kill me.
Right.
Who's going to tell them?
Yeah.
Could I buy you a bus ticket?
Right.
You know, because when you get over there, you might realize they don't feel the same way about you.
Craziness.
Bananas.
We were just, we were talking about, was it a Reddit thread that we saw?
The trans ideology has become so ridiculous and so offended by everything and so demanding of others to not just accept but embrace and adore them.
And they get so hurt if you don't, you know, use the pronouns or do whatever.
There was a thread on, I think it was Reddit, where someone had written in on behalf of their friend who was a trans woman who had just sent away for a 23 and me test.
And the 23andMe test came back showing that he was a man.
And they asked, is there any way that they can be more accommodating to trans people?
It's DNA.
I mean, like, what do you want to do?
I don't, science is transphobic now.
It's like biology, science is data.
It's transphobic.
It's just madness.
There's this big move to leave modernity, that modernity is the problem.
That's the enlightenment.
Oh, my gosh.
That's, you know, proving things through facts.
Yeah.
Well, facts are hurtful.
They're hurtful now.
They're so mean.
I mean, they're super mean.
Facts can hurt, you know.
When, you know, when I was an alcoholic and people said, you're a drunk.
Yeah.
That hurt, but it was true.
Yeah.
So if a man dresses up as a woman and does all the things and he tries to identify as a woman and you say, but you're still a man, that's hurtful.
Well, it's still reality.
It's so true.
Dude, you can wear a dress if you want.
But I don't, if I, my, my, my line here is, if I take you to the hospital, do I say that you're a woman or a man?
Right.
You know, if you're bleeding out and you got some problem going on, a first thing I'm going to say is, she's a he.
Yeah.
You know, so why should I be forced to lie the rest of the time?
Or if they dig your bones up 100 years from now, what are they going to say you are?
Right.
Yeah.
Facts are facts.
Even when they're mean.
So let's go to this movement.
it's weird because we always overcorrect.
We're good in the middle.
You know what I mean?
When we're too collective, we're a problem.
When we're too me, me, me, we're a problem.
We're just good.
Humans are good usually in the middle.
We're overcorrecting, I think, with the trad movement, the trad wives.
Talk to me about that.
That's interesting because they, you know, did it start on TikTok?
I don't even know where this began.
Probably everything crazy starts on TikTok.
But I mean, isn't it just sort of an influencer?
It's like people have run out of things.
Everything cycles back.
And so people have run out of ways to influence.
Well, I think everything is extreme now.
It's like we're going to extremes.
Instead of just like experiencing a balance, like if you just want to, if you want to be a stay-at-home mom, that's fantastic.
You know, I think people should be encouraged to do whatever they want to do.
As a woman, if you want to be a stay-at-home mom, be a stay-at-home mom.
If you traditional like wife and mother, do that.
But now they're like, everybody should be a trad wife.
You see what I'm saying?
Like there's a, there's also, we've talked about this in podcasts where, you know, they've, people have gone the route of nobody, like women shouldn't work outside of the home.
They shouldn't work.
We've done deep dives on this.
And I don't, I'm not sure where that comes from.
I'm not sure in the conservative movement why that would be why that would be appealing for people.
I think we should be encouraging women to do what they want to do.
If that's work outside the home, that's great.
If they want to stay home, they should be stay home.
That falls into the line of, well, freedom.
Well, isn't this, I mean, it's the conservatives are doing what the old liberals used to do.
Yes.
And that was shame you for going to, or not going to work, for staying at home.
Yes.
Oh, well, you're, oh, you're just a mom.
Yeah.
That's, yeah, that's a pretty big job that I don't want.
You're just a mom.
So they were shaming and saying, you have to go to work or you're not a woman.
Well, can't we just live our lives and let everybody choose?
Exactly.
There's a pendulum swing.
It's like it was that.
It was like shaming them.
And then we went all the way over to the other side where it was like people were working at home.
People were working outside the home.
The women were working outside the home.
And that was too much.
And then we, it's like there needs to be a balance, you know?
I like the same thing that was happening with contraceptives.
It's so happening with birth control.
We're going through the birth control thing now.
We just did a deep dive on birth control where a lot of these young influencer, young women influencers, conservatives, are saying, don't take birth control.
We're Gen Xers.
So, I mean, we're a little bit older.
Just a little bit.
Just a little bit older.
So we've lived through a couple more years of, okay, we've seen birth control, maybe from a different perspective where some people were helped by it.
Other people were harmed by it.
But I think that we can find a happy medium where it, you know, just decide on your own.
Do I want to take it or do I not want to take it?
It may work for some people.
It may not work for other people, but that should be an individual.
People shouldn't have lots of babies.
Right.
Okay.
Correct.
Yeah.
And I'm not one for sterilization, but give me a couple more years and I might be.
But, you know, there are some people that they would have birth control because they know.
Yeah.
If you don't want to be a mom or a dad, you shouldn't be one.
Yeah.
We know people.
We know women who are like that who have chosen, you know, they're, and they're lovely.
They're lovely.
There are a lot of like lovely women that we know were like, gosh, she would have made the most wonderful mother, but they have chosen not to.
Right.
For whatever reason.
They just don't want to be mothers.
And that's okay.
That's their choice.
I think what sets the reason that we ended up doing a deep dive on the contraception issue in particular just a week or two ago.
I can't even believe.
I mean, I honestly cannot believe we're having this conversation.
Oh, it's because I've heard this trope from the left for so long.
Yeah.
They want to take away your birth control.
And I'm like, oh, shut up.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah.
To have people actually seriously say.
Yeah, because it's harmful.
Like you shouldn't take it.
Well, but that's the thing is that those same young influencers who, by the way, don't even have kids yet or aren't married yet are injecting their faces with all kinds of chemicals while they rail against the bad things that are in birth control.
And it's just like Botox is botulism.
It's a toxin.
You're shutting it up.
So it's just, that's what led us, I think, ultimately to do that conversation about it because we're just like, we're seeing the hypocrisy.
And it's this judgmental tone that some of these young influencers are taking.
That we're like, how about you just let women make the best choices for themselves?
Yeah.
How about that?
Yeah, it would be great if conservatives could sort of take a step back and realize that we are like the party of personal responsibility.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So do that.
So I saw an influencer and I said, look at this woman.
Excuse me.
And my wife said, we know that family.
And I was like, wait, wait.
What?
It's a woman who lives maybe in Wyoming.
She has like eight kids.
They churn their own butter.
They live like I would never, ever want to churn my own butter.
There's no reason.
Well, especially when you can go to Family Dollar and buy it.
Right.
I mean, there is right there.
No reason.
But they live this really old style life by choice.
And they're not saying you should live that way.
Intimacy Missing in This Generation00:04:48
They just do.
And I think it's nuts.
It's cool to watch.
I don't believe that the children, all eight children, are like happily churning butter, you know, when the camera's not on.
But there is, in really thinking about this family, There is something about all of this, you know, our phones and everything else that you like, I don't want any of that.
I get that.
I want a blender.
Yeah.
And I want to be able to buy my.
I like your smoothies.
I like my smoothies.
Right, I get it.
But there is something to be said.
I get it.
I mean, I get that because we have a little ranch and I understand this.
I like going out and being outside and having the simplicity of nature.
I mean, I understand the need for that.
And there are days where I'm like, I hate my phone.
I hate social media.
I get it.
But can we go back?
I mean, can we?
At this point, like the toothpaste is out of the tube.
Don't you think?
I think we could if we were forced to be.
Which we might be.
Yeah.
We might be.
Because I've been paranoid about EMPs and like power grid stuff for decades.
I've been worried about it.
She has been.
Yeah.
And now it seems more likely than ever that it's just a ticking time behind it.
You know, I tell you, with AI, you both are religious.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
With AI, I've thought, because I've been on AI since the 90s and watching it and trying to figure out how society is going to deal with this and how will it deal with society.
And it's an alien life form.
I don't like it.
It's scary.
It is scary.
It needs to be burned with fire.
Don't like it.
Yeah, I don't like it either.
But I thought, you know, in the old biblical story of the Tower of Babel, there's in the Hebrew oral tradition, there's several faces of God.
The one that comes down is not the angry God.
The one that comes down to destroy the Tower of Babel is the loving God.
He comes down and sees his people trapped in slavery.
And so what does he do?
Because they're building this tower that will make them like gods.
He confuses their language so no one can talk to each other.
And I thought, that's what an EMP would do.
It would confuse our language so we couldn't communicate with each other.
When we've gotten so used to communicating with each other the way we do.
It would be good.
And it would force us, yeah.
Yeah, it would force us to go back and do real relationships and real communication.
I mean, it would be horrendous.
Yeah, first it would destroy a lot of things.
Right.
She always jokes that I would last 45 minutes without power.
Think about 25.
Oh, I think I'd be praying for death.
You know, a lot of people would.
A lot of people would not survive that.
And then you're right.
And then people would get back to actually connecting on it.
Because I mean, I think about, again, we're Gen Xers.
And so I remember the days where you would actually connect with people and you talk to them on the phone.
And I try to encourage that with my 14-year-old daughter.
I'm like, get on the phone and talk to your friends.
Talk to them.
Talk to them for two hours.
Like I used to talk to my best friends.
Get to know them.
Have that intimacy with people because that is so missing in this generation.
And I weep for them.
That's what makes us inhumane to each other.
Totally.
Like, cause we see it.
I mean, we've lived it for the past 15 years.
It's like when we started our site, we never realized we would get the amount of hate that we did, the death threats.
We put two guys in jail.
I mean, it's like there's the amount of hate that you get from people who don't know you is.
Does it drive you crazy that you'll hear once in a while from a lefty?
I published this article.
And I mean, I feel like I'm getting hate.
I'm getting death threats.
And you're like, Welcome to the party, pal.
Welcome to the party.
Yeah, that's my life for the last 20 years.
Exactly.
You wrote an article and people were.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Sorry.
Horrible.
I feel so bad for you.
That's when you respond with the meme of Taylor Lorenz crying.
How do you guys deal with that?
We've gotten thick skin.
So much better.
Now we have a wall of shame.
We just make money off those people.
That's my favorite.
But at the beginning, it really hurt.
It hurt to be called a racist at the beginning.
It hurt to be called, oh my gosh, it hurts.
It's so sincere about it.
Yeah.
And now you get called a racist.
Thick Skin and Making Money00:03:05
You're like, whatever.
You know, it's like, it just doesn't.
That word means nothing.
Isn't that terrible?
Horrible.
That that word means nothing now.
What's worse is it means the opposite to some people.
Yes.
Yeah.
It means because you're white, you're unforgivable.
You're a racist.
Yep.
But you're unforgivable because of what white people have done.
You're like, I think that's the definition.
I know it's old school or at least school.
Yeah.
And it's like they use, they overuse racists so much that they had to move on to white supremacist.
And even we've gotten that.
Oh, yeah.
They've gotten all the names.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
We've all the terrible names we've gotten.
So now it doesn't really bother us at all, which is weird because we actually were really nice people when we started our site.
A little more dangerous.
Now we're a little bit more, yeah, a little more thick skinned.
More with the chicks on the right here in a second.
First, let me tell you about Lear Capital.
Our values are under attack.
Our financial system is not just under attack.
It's broken, quite frankly.
They've broken it starting in 2008, really, when we bailed out all the banks, and it's just going to get worse and worse and worse.
And your dollar will become worth less and less and less.
Safest way.
to invest and protect yourself and your family from whatever happens ahead.
May I recommend you protect your hard-earned savings with gold, an asset that I trust.
I did work with Lear Financial.
I did work.
I actually bought my first gold way back in the day when Rush Limbaugh was talking about Lear capital.
And I bought my gold then and it is worth much, more now, thank God.
But my original sales representative is still at Lear.
The investment that I made is still great.
Lear helped me prepare for the coming insanity at the very beginning, and they can help you do the same.
Don't wait around for things to get worse.
Do what's right for your money today.
$3 billion in trusted transactions have happened with Lear.
Thousands of five-star reviews and a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee in case you're like, I don't know if I should have done that.
Don't have to worry about it.
Precious metals leader that you can trust.
Get your free wealth protection guides and clear Lear will also credit your account $250 toward your purchase just because you got it from me.
800-957 gold.
800-957 gold.
Do you ever, I mean, because you are mean machines.
Do you ever come across things and you're like, I wish I wouldn't have done that?
Early Rally Goes Comedy00:15:02
There are times I will like, because I handle our Instagram and she handles our Twitter.
And sometimes I will see something and then I'll run it by her and I'll be like, mom, what do you think?
Because for some reason, she thinks I'm going to have a better filter.
Because I'm like, my filter's down.
I don't, like, I can't tell today.
I don't know about my filter.
And so we usually, sometimes we'll just run things by each other.
And I don't know.
Are we even good filters for each other?
Because I don't think so.
Because we want to do it.
I'm going to say we run stuff by each other too.
It doesn't always work out.
It doesn't always.
But there are glimmers of hope about that, right?
When you see the success of Chappelle or the fact that Shane Gillis was just on SNL doing that monologue.
Fantastic.
That was, I mean, it gave me hope.
I know.
I thought that was a watershed moment.
It's comedy coming back.
Yeah.
And the one thing authoritarians do not like is comedy.
Yes.
Yes.
You know, which why Barack Obama was always just portrayed as this nice guy.
Yes.
You know, like he's never the butt of a joke.
Never.
Well, you can't do that because racist, right?
Right, right.
But you can't do it against Biden because it's racist too.
But for that to happen and for him to use words that have been long banned was shocking and refreshing.
You know, we lose our sense of humor.
Yes.
We're done.
I know.
We miss the 80s.
There was a, when we first started radio, I mean, it was early, early, early on.
And we were making fun.
I don't know, there was a Grammy or award show or whatever.
And we had made fun of Miley Cyrus.
And I was like, oh, my gosh, this is just so retarded.
And oh my gosh, the blow up that happened over that was extraordinary.
And isn't that amazing coming from a mom?
Yes.
Right.
And so I felt like I had some moral authority on that topic.
So when we started getting the emails, and you know, I never meant anything against people with mental disabilities.
That word had been, you know, it's like when people say, oh, that's so gay.
She just meant it against Miley Cyrus.
It is exactly like the N-word is to the African-American community.
Yeah.
It doesn't mean that.
It doesn't.
And so I was stunned at the instant rebuke that I got from so many people.
And, you know, we had just started and I got all worried.
Oh, my God, I'm going to get in trouble.
But we ended up writing an entire chapter about that in our book in 2014 because I was like, you know what?
I've got some things to say about this.
And all of this manipulation of language and this, you know, people not understanding the spirit of intention behind words and instantly just judging you for being some sort of demon.
And also how they changed the rule book.
Right.
The rules always changed.
It always changes all the time.
And it's like, it used to not be that way when we were growing up and when we were in our 20s and 30s.
And then they all of a sudden are like, oh, the rules have changed, just FYI.
Well, where's the book?
And I think the last thing.
I love the fact that like the language changed overnight for a period.
It seemed like every day there was a new word.
And everybody on TV knew the word.
Well, I had never even heard the word before.
Yeah, you sent me the appendix because he wrote it.
Yeah.
And that's why we finished out that chapter and there was like a line in it.
I'm paraphrasing my own self at this point because I don't remember exactly how we wrote it.
But we said something like, my son, and I refer to my son, my son has mental retardation.
Miley Cyrus is retarded and there is a difference.
And we were referring to that moment where she brought twerking to the, you know, to the mainstream.
That was what we were referring to.
I don't think there is a higher cultural moment.
Right.
Absolutely.
See why the rest of the world looks at us and says, Wow.
But that's what Shane Gillis is getting all the heat for using that word in his monologue.
And I don't know, maybe, you know, I just really felt like you said, like, that was a watershed moment.
And maybe people are starting to come around and not be so insane.
And loosen up.
Yeah.
I remember when political correctness back in the late 80s, early 90s started.
And it was like, you know, handicapped.
Handy capable.
If it's handy capable, in one generation, it will mean the same thing as handicapped.
Exactly.
What are you doing?
But there were, I don't remember what they were, but there were a few things that I'm like, okay, well, if that makes people feel better, that's fine.
I don't care.
Boy, what a mistake that was.
Yeah.
What a mistake that was.
Because we gave this a little bit of change the language, control the conversation.
Yes, that's exactly right.
And then there was differently abled.
And I mean, there's so many ridiculous words.
And, you know, as a mom of a kid with special needs, I think that's another way of saying, you know, at some point, I just want to just be able to say things and not have to worry who am I offending?
Whose toes am I stepping on?
What's the correct word du jour?
It's all such nonsense.
She was like, all of this manipulation is retarded.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It is.
That's basically what you were thinking.
It's gay and retarded.
It is.
So we're so never coming back to the show.
The opinions of the guests are not necessarily.
We're never coming back.
We're never coming back.
No, you're welcome here anytime.
I will tell you, though, I have, I have four children.
Two of my daughters would, they look at me all the time because I'll say, that is so retarded.
Yeah.
And they look at me, Dad, Dad, you can't say that.
Don't say that word anymore.
We have to, yeah.
Yeah, you have that too.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And my daughter's, you know, for all intents and purposes, she's pretty conservative.
I would say she's a conservative kid, but there are things you can't say now.
I know.
So let me ask you this question because I just turned 60, so I'm older than you guys.
And I know I'm like, well, I remember my grandpa and he was 65.
And he would say, and I'd go, Grandpa, you can't say that anymore.
You can't say that.
And you really couldn't.
And I, and he was like, ah.
He was Archie Bunker.
Right.
And I'm like, gosh, am I just not recognizing it now?
And I am actually.
But don't you, like, my husband's 60.
But once you get to a certain age, because I feel like, well, I think you get a pass.
I think that's.
But I don't think I'm there yet.
I think that used to be 60.
I think 55.
You get to like a certain age.
You're like, you know what?
I can say what I want.
Y'all can bug her off.
Yeah, I think I like that.
And I'm pushing for it.
I think we should all push for it.
I think at this table, we should just decide.
Okay, if they get to decide on language, we get to decide on that, you guys.
It's well before the age of our president.
Just say that.
Everybody goes, it's grandpa.
He just, it bothers me that that's what we're.
We have our State Department saying that.
He's old.
He's very well-meaning guys.
Just give him some ice cream.
So what do you think happens?
What is coming our way?
Oh, my gosh.
Well, she is a lot more negative about it.
I'm trying to remain positive.
So no nuclear winter in your playbook.
No.
I just think EMP without the nuclear.
Exactly.
We're all screwed.
Well, I am hoping that Trump is going to pull it out.
Is that?
You guys are not.
One of you is Trump.
Listen, I'm team nobody.
I'm just team conservative.
I just want us to rally.
I really didn't have a horse.
She had more of a horse.
And I just want to win.
And my horse wore high heels and smiled weird.
So my horse is gone now.
He's still doing his thing in Florida.
But that was a good idea.
We should probably say high heels.
Because that leads to a completely different picture than it is.
Right, exactly.
They weren't high heels.
But yeah, that's what everybody said.
I just wish that we were more of a rallying group.
Like we would rally more and get together and we weren't so segmented and fragmented.
And I want to.
I know that makes sense.
We're individual.
I know.
And I do love that.
I do.
But at the end of the day, to win, we got to like, I'm a team player.
You know what I mean?
When it comes to like team sports, we got to, okay, that's fine.
You can all be individual and do your individual.
But now we got to win.
And I, and I will, I will, I will rally.
And I will rally.
Okay.
And I want to win.
Yeah, I know.
I want to win.
I just worry that there's a lot of people that aren't going to rally.
I feel like there's going to be a lot of people that won't rally.
So talk to me about women.
That's who's not going to happen.
We're very difficult.
We're a difficult species.
We are.
I know in your 60 years, you probably never noticed that.
I never have.
But there are being surrounded by women in my life and my children, my girls.
I haven't noticed it.
So for all the estrogen, it's so frustrating because I think a lot of women feel like they want to date these candidates.
And I have never felt that way.
And I feel like I'm an anomalous.
I'm just singing Bob Dole.
I don't want to date Bob Joel.
I don't want to date Donald Trump.
I don't want to date DeSantis, even though I know you thought he was a Ron DeSantis.
I mean, back in the Navy days.
She thought he was dreamy and that's fine.
But I don't want to date any of these guys.
I just want them to run my company.
You know, that's how I look at them.
And, you know, we have good candidates.
We have had some good candidates.
And so I think we have some people, a person for the job that can do the job better than the person that we have now.
Yeah.
And I just wish women would get on board with that and not nitpick.
a lot of the personality things that don't need to be so much.
When he's not president, I think Donald Trump is hysterical.
Hysterical.
When he is president, I'd like some of the comedy to stop.
Right.
You know, what the greatest thing is, is I've always felt that a president with a twitchy eye will stop all wars.
You know what I mean?
And he did it like North Korea and everybody else.
Because he did.
When your enemy goes, I think that guy will do it.
Yeah.
You know, he's just crazy.
He might do it.
Yes.
That's Donald Trump.
Right.
But sometimes as the American people, you're like, I think that guy might do it.
That's a problem.
Exactly.
And when Putin says he wants Biden in office rather than Trump, I mean, I feel like that's a sign that you want him in, because he's afraid of Trump.
There's a healthy, there's a little bit of a healthy fear there.
And that's a good thing.
It is.
The liberals won't tell you that.
The liberals will say that, oh, you know, they're BFFs.
No.
Well, they also said that he destroyed the peace of the world and, you know, our reputation.
I don't think so.
You might have a different definition of destroyed.
Yeah.
Because I would apply that to right now.
Exactly.
They're also going to tell you that eggs aren't expensive now.
Right.
I mean, hello.
Have you been to a grand that your wages are up?
Yeah.
And everything doesn't cost you.
And Bill Maher just does not shop for his own food, apparently.
How'd you feel about the guy from Kellogg's coming out the other day saying, you know, I know it's tight for a lot of families, but they should consider eating cereal for dinner.
Oh, my God.
No.
No.
More of a steak girl.
Yeah.
And don't you feel like there's times, and I've kind of said it less lately because I don't feel we are this anymore.
But I used to be like, we're Americans.
Yes.
You know, we, we know, no.
Now we're going to find our way out of this.
We're not going to settle.
Yeah.
And now it seems like, you know, we're getting to the point where it's like, can somebody just make this stop?
Yeah.
Exactly.
Oh, my God.
Cereals for dinner are like when dad goes out of town.
Right.
Like when you just really don't know.
No, cereal for dinner is when mom goes out.
That's right.
That's right.
That's like extenuating circumstance, you know?
And for him to go, oh, you should just eat that for dinner.
It's like, oh, my gosh, what are we turning into?
Yeah.
It's like everything is preparing us to have a lower standard.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
And to lower our standards and be prepared to severely diminish our quality of life.
I mean, everything is leading us to be prepared for that.
I don't like it.
I remember in 2006, I think, I noticed something.
I don't remember what the story was, but I noticed a change in the language of some of the elites.
And, you know, it had always been, we're going to bring the rest of the world up to American standards.
And then they said, can't be done, but we have to all be in it together.
And I thought, the only way to do that then is to bring us down to the rest of the world.
That's a horrible idea.
Yes, it's horrible.
But I think that's what they're doing.
It's the new world order.
Yeah, the globalist mentality.
Gosh.
Not okay.
Of equity.
Yeah, and then we're no longer the beacon on the hill.
Yeah, there's nowhere to escape to.
Yeah, there is nowhere to escape to.
Because, you know, her parents, Polish immigrants, came over here.
You're a poll hoc.
I am.
She is.
She totally is.
And how dare you?
How dare you.
She's so offended.
Right.
But they came over here.
And then I can only imagine how they feel about the state of our union or any legal immigrant.
Or any legal immigrant that came here and did it the right way.
And everything that's going on right now with the border and just the state of our country.
I think it is so.
I don't know why they are making up things to be offended by when there are things that actually should be offensive.
And I think they are.
Like Hispanics.
Oh, no, Hispanics all want the border open.
No, they don't.
No.
They came here for a reason.
Exactly.
And that reason was to leave lawlessness.
Why We Want Americans Built00:16:42
You know?
And it's just assumed.
Yeah.
And to say, you know, well, the black community, it can never pull itself up.
I don't know.
I know a lot of successful black people.
You know what I mean?
And the statements that the left makes about people and about we have to protect soft bigotry of low expectations.
We would have never crossed the Missouri or Mississippi River with this.
Never.
Never.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
And legal immigrants, I think, too, and the children of them have a much higher love and appreciation for being American, I think, than so many U.S.-born people.
I mean, it's remarkable how much more patriotism legal immigrants have.
How excited.
Who was it that we just talked about becoming a U.S. Dolph Lundgren?
Dolph Lundgren.
Yes.
And he was so excited.
Oh, my God.
Right.
And that's the spirit when you see those naturalization ceremonies that are always so moving because those people really cared about becoming American, not just getting into the country.
Easy choice.
No, it's not.
You have to say, to be an American citizen, you have to say, I disavow.
I mean, I have a friend who's Scottish.
And if you know a Scot, they're Scott.
But it's not Scottish as crap.
Yeah, right.
I mean, Scotland built America, according to him.
And he'll like, Carnegie, you know who Carnegie was.
Anyway.
But he wrestles with.
I have to leave that part.
And it took him a while before he saw, no, to be an American doesn't mean government.
It doesn't mean it means this.
And now he's really excited.
I want those people to be American.
It's like a born-again Christian.
They remind me of born-again Christians because they're the most excited about their faith.
Or somebody who converts to a religion later in life.
They're the most excited about their faith.
They weren't born into it.
They don't take it for granted.
Non-smokers, alcoholics that are in recovery.
Yes.
We've seen the other side.
You go there.
Yeah.
They've lived there.
That's exactly right.
So what would wake up the suburban mind?
Let me ask you this way.
I think what's happening with the men and women is completely, I was going to say, natural, but that's not scientific anymore.
Guys are built to be just through our biology.
We are built to be the protector.
We're geared to be the provider.
We're geared to be the one that's looking over the horizon.
Women are geared to be the nurturer.
This is not universally true, of course, of either sex, but they're meant to be the nurturer.
They're the ones, guys, we would be burping, farting, and killing each other if we were by ourselves.
And sometimes when you're with us, well, after a few years, but there's that balance.
So what's happening again is just to the extreme, the younger guys are all becoming much more conservative.
And I think that's because they're seeing, no, there's trouble coming.
Yep.
And women, because there is trouble here that's on TV all the time now of suffering, they're becoming more lefty.
Oh my God, it's terrifying.
It is.
But they're being ruled by the emotion of, we've got to help, we've got to help, which is completely understandable.
But the two sexes have been cut off from what they're really supposed to be.
And so they're drifting further and further apart.
Yeah, it's interesting, especially because, you know, assuming that's the case, then men, as they become more conservative, are attracted.
They're less attractive to those women who are becoming more liberal.
They want the soft, sensitive, man-lit soy boys.
Exactly.
That's what they want.
And so this is like a genuine population concern as a concern.
Because how are they going to couple up if they're no longer, they're literally disattracted to each other?
You know, it happens at the end of every empire, though.
This exact same thing.
Okay, that's super depressing.
I know.
Roman Empire, men became women.
I mean, just.
Well, I mean, like, where, but where are the parents in this?
Because, you know, you have four kids.
And I, I've got three.
I have two stepkids that are older.
And then my 14-year-old.
And I will say all of our kids, for the most part, so far, are conservative.
And we had a big hand in that.
Now, once they go off to college, then you're- Doomed.
You're doomed.
Yeah, I had in this day and age.
You're doomed.
I had four college then.
Yeah, college.
This is the thing.
And that's, but, but that's, I guess that's part of it is parenting.
You got to like, you've got to expose them to as much as you can to teach them this.
But I think you can, but once you're in.
To a point.
You know, we are such a society geared towards, well, he's the expert.
I don't know.
He's the expert.
So they come back and you know how kids at that age think about their parents.
They don't think they know anything.
Well, he's the expert.
You're wrong about everything, mom and dad.
I think the thing is, where are the parents that are willing to say, no college?
No college.
I'm not paying for it.
Yeah.
Which nowadays, it's becoming useless.
College is useless.
Completely useless.
It's making you into a protester.
Right.
And there's only a few fields of study that you really need college.
And I don't, and I, they're very few and far between.
Like if you want to become a doctor, maybe or an engineer, an engineer, which is my daughter wants to be an engineer.
Or, you know, I can't even think of maybe a lawyer.
I don't know.
Who's supposed to be a lawyer?
Does anybody do we need more of those?
I don't know.
My son was talking about something that was like way over my head recently.
I don't remember what it was.
And he's like, yeah, I just, I was just, you know, watching MIT.
online.
And he's watching a class.
You can audit.
You can't get the grade, but who cares if you have the certificate?
Exactly.
You just want the knowledge.
And I think a lot of these kids too are so caught up in, I want to go to an Ivy.
I want to do this.
It's impressive to have the name.
It's like, is it?
Is it impressive?
Because not anymore.
Have you seen Harvard?
Have you seen MIT?
Have you seen like what some of these colleges are doing?
They're anti-Semitic growth.
Yeah.
Why would you want to be associated with that?
It's like we've all seen behind the curtain now.
Yeah.
As a result of like the hearings about the anti-Semitism.
Yeah.
Now people are really paying attention and the plagiarism, all of that stuff.
I think when they started going after the kids in school.
Yes.
That's because that ticked off every mother.
Except the most left.
Right.
Yep.
Not okay.
And the teachers that they're hiring anymore.
I mean, I get that there's a shortage.
You talking about K through 12?
Are you talking about in college?
There's a shortage because they drove everyone else out.
They did this with the military.
They did it with education.
They're doing it in an, they did it with medicine.
Yeah.
If you disagree, you're out.
That's really scary.
Why do you think it's scary?
Well, because, I mean, we've talked about this ad nauseum, how when we go to a doctor, we hope that they're our age or older because then we have faith that they were trained as medical doctors and not activists.
They were trained not to recognize, you know, they weren't trained to be woke.
And now it's a requirement.
That's the most important thing over any medical field of study.
And so I worry if I ever get into, you know, an emergency situation or a medical situation and there's somebody that's in their 30s, I'm like, same with pilots.
You want every pilot to look like Captain Sully, everyone.
And if they don't, then you're now hearing about, I don't even remember which airline.
Was it, was it, I don't know.
I can't keep track because they all suck now.
Right.
They're all talking about AI requirements.
That seems like that.
And the wings are falling off.
And like, well, that's because Boeing went woke.
Exactly.
They went woke and they fired all of the real good engineers.
I grew up around Boeing.
My family used to work for Boeing.
Yeah.
And that was a great engineering company.
My uncle, who used to do inspections for Boeing, he said, don't ever fly a plane that's not Boeing.
He said, I watch and I know what others build and I watch every screw.
I'm looking at those planes.
There's so many things that can go wrong with them.
Oh, my gosh.
Don't fly anything but a Boeing.
So I was raised on that.
Now I get onto a plane and I look, is that a Boeing?
Because I don't feel comfortable on a Boeing.
And there's horror about their desire to hire based on skin color or, you know what I mean?
They're being so open and brazen about it that that's terrifying.
Well, what was the, I think it was United Airlines.
The drag queen, the CEO.
Yeah.
What the heck?
Yeah.
I mean, that's super important, though, Glenn.
Not really.
I mean, he's got to show everybody that he can dance.
I want the same number of takeoffs as there are landings.
Right.
Okay.
Or landings as there are.
Are you interested in his dancing skills?
No, I'm really no.
I mean, that's terrifying.
And then add to that the fact that now, you know, kids that are coming up through the ranks to be in the, if they're blue collar workers, they're working, you know, they're waving the planes in, for example, or they're mechanics or whatever.
Now it seems like this new, this Gen Z generation, there is not the same level of work ethic or pride in work.
No.
And so you think about like, who are the people that are putting together the planes?
Right.
It's every aspect of our lives, I worry, that is, there's just people don't care about their jobs anymore.
You see it in the service industry all the time, right?
And so you go to a fast food restaurant now and you're just, you know, in the drive-thru, if you're treated right, it's somebody who should have been retired.
Yes.
Yes.
And the rest of them are like, I'm sorry to bother you.
I know you're on your phone or listening to music, but could I get a hamburger?
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
And then the videos we've seen, we've made fun of videos of some of these Gen Zers complaining about, I had to work 40 hours.
I have to be to work at night.
Can you believe that?
I mean, I can't believe it.
It's like, are you kidding me?
Like, we worked like three jobs at once and like had to eat ramen noodles for 10 years.
And it's insane.
I just, what do you, how, how do you combat that?
Yeah.
I don't know how to get that back, that like the work ethic, that spirit of wanting to contribute.
And wanting to.
It's not even forcing them to do it, but we wanted to do it.
You wanted to do that because you wanted to have something at the end of the day that you could call yours.
It doesn't matter anymore.
There was an article that I read back in the 90s or maybe right after 2000.
And it was about the coming movement of non-ownership already.
Oh, yeah.
You know, you don't own anything all the way to your clothes.
And it was a philosophical article and it said, what happens to a civilization that was built on ownership, pride of ownership.
Yes.
And I want to take care of it because it's mine.
What happens to that society?
And I think we're seeing what happens.
RFK Jr. was just talking about that.
Really?
He was talking about how hard it is for 20-somethings at this point to even think about having their own home at one point and how it's if he becomes president, one of his missions is to make it possible for people to finance homes easier, however he plans to do that, whatever.
But he made that exact point that when people can own homes, they care not just about their homes, but their communities and their neighborhoods and what those look like and who moves in.
And it matters to people so much more than when you're just renting and you're just filling up a space temporarily.
And it's a big deal.
That guy's going to be the dark horse, I think.
And he's going to screw some stuff.
He's going to screw some stuff.
Oh, he's going to screw some stuff.
Yeah, because I hate to say it, but a lot of stuff that he says, I do like, even though I know that he is, he's truly a liberal.
I mean, I don't know.
No, He's not a liberal.
He's like hardcore left on some things.
Right.
Like the environment.
I had him on CNN and my producer just reminded me of this because I said, he at one point called for my death.
Are you serious?
Well, called for my execution.
What?
I was a climate denier.
Called for my execution.
Oh, so am I.
Yeah, I know.
But I'm not.
I believe climate is always changing.
Well, exactly.
That's a good thing.
So, but he called, and my producer said, Glenn, he didn't say that.
He didn't just say that someplace.
He said it to your face on your show.
And I had completely forgotten.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Because I remember I was like, wait.
When was it?
When?
2005, six, somewhere in that area.
Oh, my gosh.
And he had no, like, what was he doing then?
Just being a Kenny.
He was just being a Kennedy.
He was just like laying off the Kennedy horse.
I don't know what.
I don't know what any Kennedy does.
He was in Hyannis Porch laying off the fortune.
That must be nice.
Wow.
So he's like, because I have a really hard time.
A guy who called for my death.
I would have a harder face.
And to my face.
And I like some of the stuff he says.
Right?
You know what I'm saying?
This is the thing.
I like that.
I have to remember.
You want to see that.
He wanted to execute.
It feels like there's a little conflict there.
Right.
Yeah.
Might not be in my best interest to campaign for it.
Exactly.
And you don't think he's softened on any of those positions at all?
Like 2A.
He's said.
He seems softening.
2A is a little weird with him, too.
I mean, he said some stuff about 2A in the past, and then I don't know where he stands on that now.
I don't think he's changed.
I think he has seen the moment of opportunity and he is de-emphasizing.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So he's a politician.
Who do you think he's going to take more votes from?
Well, in women?
Just across the board.
So, but I think women who see the insanity, they'll look at Trump, they'll look at Biden, and they'll look at RFK and they'll go RFK.
Yeah, because he's like a jacked-up kangaroo.
That's what he looks like.
You know?
Is he not?
He is a jacked-up kangaroo.
Yeah.
And he picks up snakes.
He does.
He just isn't the, it is kind of hot to some women.
Poor shorts.
You know, we come full circle.
Yeah.
Who do you think they'll pull from?
I, you know, I used to think it would be Trump.
And now it seems like most, most of the more recent polls are showing that he's pulling from both.
I don't believe.
No.
I don't believe polls, though.
Right.
I don't.
It's all.
You're so cute.
You're like.
Oh, yeah, that implies you believe in something.
I know.
I'm a non-conformist.
I refuse to believe in the polls.
I just don't.
I don't want to believe them because they've let me down in the past.
I can't believe it.
Oh, I think that's because nobody trusts each other anymore.
I'm not going to tell you what I think.
Right.
And nobody has, and no one's ever asked me.
Yeah, I've never participated in a poll.
So where are these polls?
Where are they?
How do you get on that list?
I'm just going to cloud.
No, no, no.
No one understands it.
Don't understand it.
Audience Hatred Off The Charts00:04:04
It's going to be interesting, though.
He's going to show you.
He's going to screw some things up.
And then isn't there a, if Nikki does this whole no labels thing, she's already said she won't.
She's not doing it.
Okay.
She's done.
How do you feel about Nikki Haley?
She's a woman, so women must like her.
Well, actually, we did.
Glenn, we liked her.
We've interviewed her, and I liked her.
Back on our radio days, she would come on.
Remember, she stumped for the governor of Indiana, who proved to be a huge disappointment.
Yeah.
So that was good for her record.
I like her too.
As a person, as a person, she's lovely as a person, but I kind of wish she would have dropped out a little bit earlier than she did.
And I get why she's staying in because she sees that.
There could be trouble.
There could be trouble.
And so much of the country just does not want this rematch.
And so she's holding out hope that she can reach those people in some of these, maybe these Super Tuesday states.
I have no idea.
She's a little crazy.
She's not going to, though.
She's not.
She is more the way she's positioned herself.
She's more Mitch McConnell.
Yes.
We don't need that.
Very warm.
Over.
Very.
Very wary.
And that is not.
She's very, yay, Ukraine.
Let's, you know, and I just, no.
But I am surprised, I will say, that, you know, whenever she comes up in our daily show, whether we're just playing a soundbite from her or talking about her for whatever reason, the hatred that our audience might have for her is like off the charts.
Yes.
It's nuts.
Yeah, they do not.
And it's not warranted.
I mean, it's a little over the top.
It is a little over the top.
But calm down, everybody.
But wait, is it because every four years we go through this.
And I hate primary season.
Same.
It's brutal, isn't it?
Yeah, because the audience.
Yeah.
You know, oh my gosh, the mail or the email that I got and the posts that I got, you know, Glenn's clearly for Trump because of this.
Glenn's clearly for DeSantis because of this.
He's clearly for Robin Swabi.
And it's like, guys, I'm doing my job equally on all of these.
Exactly.
Yeah, we try to do the same thing too.
Like, she actually did have a horse and she was very open about that, but I didn't.
And she likes guys in high heels.
She does like the guys in high heels.
And it's come full circle again.
Totally.
But I mean, we do.
We try to give all angles.
And we will make fun of people too.
We will criticize everybody and people don't like that either.
Oh, you can't criticize Trump.
You can't criticize Trump.
People don't like that.
But I mean, sometimes you got to criticize the guy.
We criticize everybody.
He warrants quite a bit of criticism.
I think that we all should do that with each other.
We criticize ourselves.
That's what we do.
You should do that.
You should have some humility.
And that's probably, I think one of the things that's made me angriest about the Trump loyalists is this concept that he has promoted of loyalty to him.
I don't like that.
It really, really rubs me the wrong way.
And I don't like that he was so nasty in his attacks to the primary contenders, especially DeSantis, who has done more for freedom in this country than so many other leaders have.
It's really weird.
He has, do you guys know him?
No.
Trump?
No.
So he's a different man in person.
He's a lot.
That's what we hear all the time.
Yeah, he's just a normal, nice, really nice guy.
Yeah.
And it's weird because he demands such loyalty.
You say something against him, you're on a list.
I'm done.
You're done.
I am on the list.
You're on the list.
Yeah, for sure.
You're on it.
You're dead to you.
Just for the shorts.
Yeah.
However, he can rip people apart and then turn around and go, you're the greatest.
You know what I mean?
Ted Cruz, right?
Ted Cruz's Double Standards00:01:08
Yeah.
And his wife.
And like, I mean, he's a perfect example.
I think they killed the Kennedys.
What?
Ted is the greatest.
We have always had a great relationship.
I had your impression.
It is so great.
I haven't mastered that one.
No, I've never heard of that one.
She does a good Bernie Shaw.
No, it's actually not very good.
Let's hear it.
What do you got to bring me in?
I can't do it.
I did it.
I love it.
Yours, yours.
I know.
It's not as good.
It's as true.
I love it.
She loves it, but she's my best friend.
So she laughs at all my jokes, which is why we're best friends.
That's why.
Can you guys come back?
Oh, my gosh, I would love to.
We're allowed.
