Latest / V / UK Arrests Online Thought Criminals, Is The USA Next? (Ep.18)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Vandina Report Early Edition. I
- 0:03Speaker 1: am your host, Evita. We're gonna start today off with
- 0:06Speaker 1: a quick free speech update.
- 0:09Speaker 2: And I'm so.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Happy to tell you guys that for once it's actually
- 0:12Speaker 1: good news.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Then we're gonna.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Discuss the UK arresting protesters for online thought crimes. Kamala
- 0:20Speaker 1: has brought back the sudden onset urban accent and Tampon
- 0:24Speaker 1: Tim did something genuinely weird. at his rally with Kamala.
- 0:29Speaker 1: It's really weird, you guys, I promise. An update on
- 0:32Speaker 1: Walsh's CCP ties, why Walsh's stolen valor infuriates me on
- 0:37Speaker 1: a personal level, and a TikTok trend that I believe
- 0:40Speaker 1: signifies civilizational decline. All this on Bongina Report, early edition.
- 0:57Speaker 1: So I got a quick update on some big news
- 1:00Speaker 1: that we covered earlier in the week. Yesterday, the Global
- 1:04Speaker 1: Alliance for Responsible Media, or GARM, announced it is officially
- 1:09Speaker 1: shutting itself down. Now, GARM is, or I guess at
- 1:12Speaker 1: this point it was, a sinister cabal of advertisers and
- 1:16Speaker 1: tech companies colluding together to deplatform and demonetize dissident speech.
- 1:22Speaker 1: And what GARM members did, for example, was they'd all
- 1:26Speaker 1: get together and say, none of us are going to
- 1:28Speaker 1: advertise with Dan Bongino because Dan Bongino is really dangerous.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Or they'd come together and say, none of us are
- 1:33Speaker 1: going to advertise on Rumble because Rumble is dangerous because
- 1:36Speaker 1: it platforms dangerous speech.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Like the Dan Bongino show.
- 1:40Speaker 1: That's sort of the intent behind GARM. So again, GARM
- 1:45Speaker 1: was effectively deplatforming and demonetizing right-wing voices. And this week,
- 1:50Speaker 1: X and Rumble joined forces to file an antitrust lawsuit
- 1:54Speaker 1: against Garm. And within days, Garm announced that it was
- 1:59Speaker 1: shutting itself down. I think it was within one day,
- 2:01Speaker 1: Garm said, okay, after the lawsuit, we're done.
- 2:04Speaker 2: We're no longer an entity.
- 2:05Speaker 1: And this is obviously a huge victory for free speech.
- 2:09Speaker 1: But the story cannot just end here. Sean Davis, my
- 2:13Speaker 1: former boss, CEO of The Federalist, he made a great
- 2:16Speaker 1: point on X. He said, it's good news, But GARM
- 2:20Speaker 1: needs to be held accountable for the dirty and likely
- 2:23Speaker 1: illegal deeds it already committed.
- 2:24Speaker 2: And he's right.
- 2:25Speaker 1: We can't just let it go. We need justice from GARM.
- 2:29Speaker 1: GARM members cannot be let off the hook. Now, Sean
- 2:34Speaker 1: also adds that lawmakers need to make sure GARM doesn't
- 2:37Speaker 1: disband and immediately reconstitute under a new name and continue the.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Exact same nonsense.
- 2:43Speaker 1: And again, Sean is right here because these people are
- 2:46Speaker 1: slimy ideologues. They aren't going to just step away and
- 2:51Speaker 1: stop trying to silence speech they don't like. They believe
- 2:55Speaker 1: in their hearts, right, that they have the right to
- 2:59Speaker 1: control what.
- 3:00Speaker 2: The rest of us see and hear online.
- 3:02Speaker 1: So it's unlikely that these individuals are just going to
- 3:05Speaker 1: give up their censorship efforts that quickly. So this is
- 3:08Speaker 1: great news. It's something to be really optimistic about. But
- 3:12Speaker 1: the story can't end here. We're going to have to
- 3:14Speaker 1: stay on top of it, make sure that there's justice
- 3:16Speaker 1: and make sure that Garm or a Garm-like entity never
- 3:19Speaker 1: comes back.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Moving on.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Now, all week we have been following the anti-open border
- 3:26Speaker 1: protests in the UK, which was sparked by the stabbings
- 3:31Speaker 1: and murders of little girls by a 17-year-old son of
- 3:35Speaker 1: Rwandan immigrants. And we also, we covered how leftist elites,
- 3:40Speaker 1: including British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, are blaming the protests
- 3:46Speaker 1: on racist far-right actors and online misinformation. That's why there's
- 3:52Speaker 1: civil unrest, according to them. And Starmer has now created
- 3:57Speaker 1: what he calls a standing army of police and prosecutors
- 4:01Speaker 1: who And he promises swift consequences, not only for those protesting,
- 4:06Speaker 1: but also for those, and this is a quote, whipping
- 4:10Speaker 1: up this action online. Now, some of you may not
- 4:15Speaker 1: know this, but in the UK, they actually jail thousands
- 4:20Speaker 1: of social media users every year for saying things deemed
- 4:24Speaker 1: offensive or dangerous by the UK government.
- 4:28Speaker 2: And so, and this is the.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Story today, you guys. As of Thursday, a 55-year-old was
- 4:35Speaker 1: arrested for posting something reportedly containing inaccurate information about the
- 4:40Speaker 1: identity of the suspect in the murders that launched the protesting.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Deemed inaccurate, and she was arrested.
- 4:48Speaker 2: This is per The Guardian.
- 4:49Speaker 1: The woman from near Chester was arrested on Thursday on
- 4:52Speaker 1: suspicion of publishing written material to stir up racial hatred
- 4:56Speaker 1: and false communications. She is being held in custody by police.
- 5:02Speaker 2: And this woman isn't even the first.
- 5:04Speaker 1: One man was already reportedly prosecuted for posting about the
- 5:08Speaker 1: riots online and, again, quote, stirring up racial hatred. Now,
- 5:13Speaker 1: my former Federalist colleague, John Daniel Davidson, he made an
- 5:16Speaker 1: excellent point in The Federalist about what is happening here.
- 5:22Speaker 2: What's the real story?
- 5:24Speaker 1: Because the media, again, is framing the events as spurred
- 5:29Speaker 1: on by far-right racists. So we're told that this is
- 5:32Speaker 1: all the result of Islamophobia. It's all the result of racism.
- 5:36Speaker 1: But as John explains, the real explanation for the protesting
- 5:40Speaker 1: is that Britain's leaders have sold their countrymen out for decades,
- 5:45Speaker 1: importing an unassimilated foreign population against the wishes of native Britons.
- 5:50Speaker 1: That is a recipe for social unrest, civic strife, and
- 5:54Speaker 1: ethnic conflict, which is exactly what Britain's ruling class has
- 5:57Speaker 1: brought about.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Great article.
- 6:01Speaker 1: John's amazing. I encourage you guys to all go read
- 6:03Speaker 1: his columns.
- 6:04Speaker 2: They're always excellent.
- 6:05Speaker 1: But in other words, the details surrounding the murders of
- 6:08Speaker 1: the little girls that sparked all of the rioting, they
- 6:11Speaker 1: don't really matter. The riots are happening because the UK's
- 6:15Speaker 1: globalist open border policies are alienating the masses, are inciting
- 6:21Speaker 1: the masses. And this anger has, as John pointed out,
- 6:25Speaker 1: been building for years. They're not just mad about these,
- 6:28Speaker 1: the murders of these young girls, which is, I mean,
- 6:30Speaker 1: it's a horrible thing and we, they should be mad
- 6:32Speaker 1: about that, but it's, it's something bigger. It's, it's decades
- 6:37Speaker 1: of globalist open borders against the will of the people.
- 6:41Speaker 2: And that's why these protesters are.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Chanting things like stop the boats and we want our
- 6:46Speaker 1: country back.
- 6:47Speaker 2: It's not racism. It's about nationalism.
- 6:50Speaker 1: It's about preserving British identity. And we're facing the same
- 6:55Speaker 1: issues here in America. We are very close to the
- 6:59Speaker 1: rage and unrest ensuing in the UK. I told you
- 7:01Speaker 1: guys yesterday that the government has let 99 illegal aliens
- 7:06Speaker 1: on the terror watch list into the United States.
- 7:09Speaker 2: What happens if one of.
- 7:11Speaker 1: The millions of illegals in this country carries out a
- 7:13Speaker 1: major terrorist attack? I think it would spark massive political
- 7:18Speaker 1: and social unrest. Because it's bound to happen. Our leaders
- 7:23Speaker 1: purposely opened up our borders. It feels not like an
- 7:29Speaker 1: accident or one bad actor. It almost feels like our
- 7:32Speaker 1: government would be complicit in a massive terror attack if
- 7:36Speaker 1: it were to happen.
- 7:37Speaker 2: And I hope that it doesn't.
- 7:39Speaker 1: But it feels like we're setting ourselves up for that.
- 7:42Speaker 1: And you may think, well, we have the First Amendment.
- 7:45Speaker 1: If this happens, you know, it won't be as bad
- 7:47Speaker 1: as the UK. We'll be fine because we'll be able
- 7:49Speaker 1: to protest. We'll be able to share things online.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Will we? Are you sure about that?
- 7:57Speaker 1: Look at what potential future VP Tim Walz says about
- 8:01Speaker 1: free speech in America.
- 8:02Speaker 3: I think we need to push back on this. There's
- 8:05Speaker 3: no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech,
- 8:08Speaker 3: and especially around our democracy.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Sounds just like the UK.
- 8:13Speaker 1: It's the exact same rhetoric. And again, the Federalist gets
- 8:18Speaker 1: it right. There's no guarantee to free speech if Democrats
- 8:21Speaker 1: don't like what you say. That's exactly it. The Constitution
- 8:27Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything to you guys. And I know that
- 8:29Speaker 1: I played that clip yesterday, but I want to make,
- 8:31Speaker 1: I want to hammer this point home. We have leaders
- 8:35Speaker 1: who do not believe speech that they disagree with is permissible.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Not just random representatives in state houses, maybe local school boards. No,
- 8:47Speaker 1: these are Democrat nominees for president and vice president. That's
- 8:53Speaker 1: who they've elevated to potentially the highest position of power
- 8:56Speaker 1: in America. And again, leftists don't believe in mores. They
- 9:01Speaker 1: don't believe in codes. They believe everything is permissible if
- 9:05Speaker 1: it's in the name of progress.
- 9:07Speaker 2: No morals, no ethics.
- 9:09Speaker 1: They'll throw all of that out the window if it
- 9:12Speaker 1: is in the name of their political aims. So I
- 9:16Speaker 1: don't think it will be long before we are at
- 9:18Speaker 1: the point that Britain is at because we have... an
- 9:22Speaker 1: entire portion of the country that does not respect the
- 9:25Speaker 1: Constitution and that believes speech they disagree with should not
- 9:29Speaker 1: be allowed on the digital public square. All right, switching
- 9:34Speaker 1: gears here a little bit. Kamala has brought back her
- 9:39Speaker 1: sudden onset urban accent during her rally in Detroit.
- 9:45Speaker 2: We have a video. Hold on.
- 9:47Speaker 1: You know what?
- 9:48Speaker 4: Here, hold on.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
- 9:50Speaker 2: The courts are going to handle that. We're going to
- 9:52Speaker 2: beat them in November.
- 9:53Speaker 1: We're going to beat them in November.
- 9:57Speaker 2: We'll beat them in November.
- 9:58Speaker 1: We'll handle that. We're going to beat them in November? What? Guys,
- 10:08Speaker 1: Kamala was raised by two academics in Canada.
- 10:13Speaker 2: This is what J.D.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Vance means when he says, Kamala is a chameleon. Kamala, Kamala, chameleon.
- 10:19Speaker 1: That's exactly what she is. She is so disingenuous. This
- 10:23Speaker 1: behavior is so phony and patronizing. And to me personally,
- 10:28Speaker 1: it's actually really unsettling. It radiates untrustworthiness. You guys know
- 10:34Speaker 1: when somebody gives you a compliment and it really, really
- 10:37Speaker 1: means something to you? When my husband and I were dating,
- 10:41Speaker 1: one of the things that he said to me was,
- 10:43Speaker 1: you know, something I really like about you, Evita, is
- 10:46Speaker 1: you're exactly the same no matter who you're with. And
- 10:49Speaker 1: I took that as the greatest compliment ever.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Seriously, I did.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I thought it was one of the nicest things anybody
- 10:55Speaker 1: has ever said to me. Because we all value authenticity.
- 10:59Speaker 1: We value trust. It's essential to relationships. And by doing
- 11:03Speaker 1: this sudden urban onset accent, onset urban accent, and flip-flopping
- 11:08Speaker 1: on virtually all of her policies, Kamala is telling America
- 11:12Speaker 1: that she is not.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Genuine, nor is she trustworthy.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Kamala's sudden onset urban accent is not the strangest
- 11:23Speaker 1: thing to happen on the Kamala campaign trail. Watch how,
- 11:29Speaker 1: really seriously, watch how Tim Walz greets his wife at
- 11:33Speaker 1: a rally in Philadelphia. He's shaking her hand?
- 11:45Speaker 4: What?
- 11:45Speaker 1: What?
- 11:48Speaker 2: Is it a business meeting? I mean, it's so weird.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Are they even married? And for as strange as Kamala
- 11:55Speaker 1: and Doug Emhoff's relationship is, at least they are acting
- 11:58Speaker 1: like a normal married couple.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Let me watch that again, Mikey.
- 12:03Speaker 1: They actually kiss.
- 12:07Speaker 2: That's pretty normal.
- 12:09Speaker 1: The handshake is not normal. I'm really, really confused. Anybody
- 12:14Speaker 1: who's married in the chat, please drop a comment. Have
- 12:16Speaker 1: you ever greeted your spouse by shaking their hand? And
- 12:21Speaker 1: I bring this up because this is the guy that's
- 12:23Speaker 1: calling JD Vance weird.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Oh, JD Vance is so weird. This is very weird.
- 12:29Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be mean.
- 12:30Speaker 1: I'm just genuinely confused. Why is he shaking his wife's hand?
- 12:33Speaker 2: Does he always greet her this way?
- 12:35Speaker 1: It's very strange.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Dare I say, it's very weird. I've got more.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Tim Walls news for you guys.
- 12:43Speaker 2: He's not just weird.
- 12:44Speaker 1: He is sketchy. Now, this next story was reported by
- 12:48Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation, but it was initially uncovered by my
- 12:51Speaker 1: former UChicago classmate, Natalie Winters. So shout out to Natalie.
- 12:54Speaker 1: She's busy right now running the war room while Steve
- 12:57Speaker 1: Bannon is locked up in federal prison. Natalie discovered a
- 13:02Speaker 1: new and very troubling connection between Walls and the CCP
- 13:06Speaker 1: influence apparatus. Walls has a history, of course, of downplaying
- 13:10Speaker 1: the threat of the CCP. And he has been deeply
- 13:13Speaker 1: critical of Trump's fair trade policies toward China when Trump
- 13:17Speaker 1: was president. So here is one of many clips of
- 13:20Speaker 1: Tim Walz advocating for CCP appeasement.
- 13:22Speaker 3: I've been focusing on and I lived in China. And
- 13:25Speaker 3: as I said, I've been there about 30 times. But
- 13:28Speaker 3: if someone tells you they're an expert on China, they're
- 13:30Speaker 3: probably not telling you the truth because it's a complex country.
- 13:32Speaker 3: But it's critically important for us. I don't fall into
- 13:34Speaker 3: the category that China necessarily needs to be an adversarial relationship.
- 13:38Speaker 3: I totally disagree.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Doesn't need to be an adversarial relationship. Should all be
- 13:45Speaker 1: buddy-buddy with the CCP. Now, in October of 2019, Walsh
- 13:51Speaker 1: headlined a national convention for the U.S.-China People's Friendship Association
- 13:57Speaker 1: or the USCPFA.
- 14:01Speaker 2: And this is.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Where it gets, the connection becomes apparent. Walsh's co-headliner at
- 14:07Speaker 1: this event was the head of the Chinese People's Association
- 14:10Speaker 1: for Friendship with foreign countries. I know these are long names,
- 14:14Speaker 1: bear with me. This is an organization that has been
- 14:16Speaker 1: explicitly named as an instrument of CCP influence by the
- 14:22Speaker 1: US government. And this is just one piece of the pie, right?
- 14:26Speaker 1: Because all week we have been discussing how Tim Walz
- 14:30Speaker 1: taught in China, honeymooned in China, purposely got married on
- 14:33Speaker 1: the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, brought CCP style
- 14:37Speaker 1: snitch lists and Marxist rioting to Minnesota and And then again,
- 14:42Speaker 1: the writing spread to all of America. And to really
- 14:45Speaker 1: put the cherry on top, you guys will not believe
- 14:48Speaker 1: who is coming to Tim Walz's defense. Of course, the
- 14:52Speaker 1: entire corporate media apparatus is coming to his defense. But
- 14:54Speaker 1: I mean, who specifically? So somebody tweeted, based on open sources,
- 15:00Speaker 1: Tim Walz, the potential next vice president of the United States,
- 15:03Speaker 1: taught English for a year in China, spent his honeymoon
- 15:06Speaker 1: in China, ran a business that took students to China
- 15:07Speaker 1: and traveled to China every year until 2003. and speaks
- 15:12Speaker 1: a bit of Chinese. That's the end of the quote.
- 15:15Speaker 2: All that's very true.
- 15:16Speaker 1: All of that gets to how he has very shady
- 15:19Speaker 1: ties to China. And General Michael Hayden replied to this
- 15:24Speaker 1: tweet saying, so he knows a lot about it.
- 15:27Speaker 2: That's great.
- 15:29Speaker 1: And if you guys didn't know, General Michael Hayden is
- 15:31Speaker 1: the former NSA and CIA director who also happened to
- 15:36Speaker 1: be one of the 51 former intelligence officials who dismissed
- 15:38Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation, even though the
- 15:43Speaker 1: laptop story had been authenticated by the feds nearly a
- 15:46Speaker 1: full year prior.
- 15:48Speaker 2: So one, this guy has no credibility. But two, he actually.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Has a history of covering up Democrat politicians' sketchy ties
- 15:58Speaker 1: to American foreign adversaries. This should be raising alarm bells
- 16:02Speaker 1: for everyone. It is so dangerous to have someone like
- 16:06Speaker 1: Tim Walz, fanboy of the CCP, anywhere near power over
- 16:12Speaker 1: America's foreign and domestic policy. Seriously, every day I get
- 16:16Speaker 1: more freaked out as information rolls in about this man
- 16:20Speaker 1: and we are faced with the prospect of him potentially
- 16:24Speaker 1: winning the election with Kamala. Now, at this point, you
- 16:28Speaker 1: guys all know Tim Walz is also accused of stolen valor.
- 16:33Speaker 1: He's lied about his military record, and he appears to
- 16:35Speaker 1: have dropped out of the National Guard to avoid serving
- 16:38Speaker 1: in the Iraq war. And the Kamala campaign is having
- 16:41Speaker 1: to cope with this. So yesterday, Kamala's team was caught
- 16:45Speaker 1: quietly altering Walz's bio on the campaign website. This is
- 16:51Speaker 1: from Fox News. Initially, the bio said Walz was a
- 16:55Speaker 1: retired Command Sergeant Major. Now, it says he, quote, served
- 17:00Speaker 1: as a Command Sergeant Major. When Walls left the National Guard,
- 17:05Speaker 1: he had achieved the rank of Command Sergeant Major, but
- 17:08Speaker 1: he was reduced in rank months after retiring, leaving him
- 17:12Speaker 1: a Master Sergeant Major. National Guard officials have said that
- 17:15Speaker 1: he retired before fulfilling requirements of the position, including coursework
- 17:19Speaker 1: at the U.S.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Army Sergeant's Major Academy.
- 17:24Speaker 1: And guys, the Tim Walls stolen valor scandal is actually
- 17:28Speaker 1: deeply offensive to virtually all Americans. Command Sergeant Major is
- 17:33Speaker 1: the highest enlisted rank. And Tim did not complete their
- 17:38Speaker 1: requirements to earn that title.
- 17:43Speaker 2: He didn't.
- 17:44Speaker 1: And then, of course, he abruptly retired from his position,
- 17:48Speaker 1: abandoning his troops. And while not all of us have served,
- 17:52Speaker 1: many of us have family and friends who made that sacrifice.
- 17:55Speaker 1: My grandmother, my grandfather, I'm sorry, is one of them.
- 17:58Speaker 1: My grandfather was one of 15 children.
- 18:01Speaker 2: He grew up in a.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Very poor mining town in Arizona. It was the first
- 18:06Speaker 1: in his family. I think we have a picture of him.
- 18:07Speaker 1: It's the first in his family. Yeah, so that's him
- 18:10Speaker 1: on the second on the left. little, the boy in the,
- 18:14Speaker 1: sort of in the middle, taller one. He was the
- 18:17Speaker 1: first in his family to ever graduate high school. And
- 18:21Speaker 1: after high school, he enlisted in the military and he
- 18:23Speaker 1: served for nearly 30 years.
- 18:25Speaker 2: There's a picture of.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Him in the U.S.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Air Force.
- 18:28Speaker 1: And upon his retirement, he earned the highest enlisted rank
- 18:32Speaker 1: of chief master sergeant, which is the Air Force equivalent
- 18:35Speaker 1: to the Army's command sergeant major. And my aunt Leah
- 18:39Speaker 1: was who sent a text in our family group chat yesterday,
- 18:42Speaker 1: and she said, you know, what Walsh did is claiming
- 18:48Speaker 1: this higher and more difficult to achieve rank. It's really
- 18:52Speaker 1: insulting to my father, meaning my grandfather, and anyone who
- 18:57Speaker 1: worked hard and enlisted and actually did earn the honor
- 19:01Speaker 1: of E9 status. For those of you who don't know,
- 19:04Speaker 1: less than 1% of enlisted men ever get promoted to
- 19:08Speaker 1: E9 like my grandfather and like Tim Walz claimed to
- 19:13Speaker 1: have attained. So it's a huge achievement and it's insulting
- 19:16Speaker 1: to all Americans that Walz would claim an honor he
- 19:19Speaker 1: did not earn. Just like Kamala, Walz is telling America
- 19:22Speaker 1: that he cannot, we cannot trust him and he doesn't
- 19:25Speaker 1: have integrity. Not only that, he's signaling that he has
- 19:28Speaker 1: disregard for the sacrifices and achievements of actual service members
- 19:33Speaker 1: and veterans. All right, last story for you guys. There's
- 19:38Speaker 1: an ongoing TikTok trend where young people will share a
- 19:41Speaker 1: photo of their parents and then them at the same age.
- 19:44Speaker 1: So it'll go, my parents at 25 versus me at 25.
- 19:48Speaker 2: And the parents are, always real adults. They have children.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Sometimes they have a house while the now adult children
- 19:55Speaker 1: of the couple and the ones that are making the
- 19:57Speaker 1: video show themselves at the same age, still single and
- 20:00Speaker 1: acting like kids. So I have some examples to show
- 20:03Speaker 1: you guys sort of what I'm talking about. So for
- 20:07Speaker 1: those of you listening, it says, My parents are 29
- 20:10Speaker 1: versus me. And the parents, it is, you know, three kids.
- 20:14Speaker 1: And then the woman, it's her and her dog, right?
- 20:18Speaker 2: She's a dog mom.
- 20:19Speaker 1: We have another example here. It says my parents with
- 20:23Speaker 1: two children by 30. And then it's her tucking her
- 20:27Speaker 1: stuffed animals in, putting them to bed. I mean, it's
- 20:29Speaker 1: just like very silly for a 30-year-old to do. And
- 20:33Speaker 1: everybody seems to think that this trend is really cute.
- 20:36Speaker 1: It's really funny.
- 20:37Speaker 2: It's not.
- 20:38Speaker 1: The reality is that we have an entire generation of
- 20:41Speaker 1: young people who are genuinely not maturing. They're stagnant, not
- 20:46Speaker 1: meeting replacement rates. And that really means civilizational.
- 20:50Speaker 2: Collapse for all of us. It's not cute.
- 20:55Speaker 1: And I think there's a couple of things at play here.
- 20:57Speaker 1: And it's not just, oh, Gen Z and millennials spend
- 21:00Speaker 1: all their money on Starbucks and rent. It's the tendency
- 21:04Speaker 1: to blame people. their poor spending habits on what's happening
- 21:07Speaker 1: right now. I'm going to tell you guys really what's
- 21:09Speaker 1: going on. It's two things, two things in tandem. First,
- 21:12Speaker 1: the American dream no longer exists for my generation, at
- 21:16Speaker 1: least not in the way that it did for my
- 21:18Speaker 1: parents and my grandparents. The government's involvement in housing, healthcare,
- 21:22Speaker 1: and higher education has made these essential realms increasingly unaffordable.
- 21:27Speaker 1: The next generation is having to foot the bill for
- 21:30Speaker 1: bankrupt entitlement programs and.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Cope with the fact that they'll never be able to
- 21:34Speaker 2: afford a home.
- 21:35Speaker 1: My generation is also dealing with massive inflation, crippling student loans. Again,
- 21:41Speaker 1: college is expensive because of government interference. And this is
- 21:45Speaker 1: going to be the first generation projected to do financially
- 21:47Speaker 1: worse than their parents. So young people are disillusioned and
- 21:52Speaker 1: they're giving up. But there's also a second essential component
- 21:57Speaker 1: to what's happening right now. We're a country that no
- 22:00Speaker 1: longer values family. Feminists have spent decades now alienating the
- 22:06Speaker 1: sexes and making women feel inferior for raising children, to
- 22:10Speaker 1: view it as unfashionable and rash for a woman to
- 22:12Speaker 1: get married young and have a family.
- 22:14Speaker 2: I got married at 22.
- 22:14Speaker 1: You guys will not believe how many people expressed shock
- 22:20Speaker 1: and even concern for what I was doing. It's just
- 22:24Speaker 1: not normal to get married that young anymore. Feminists have
- 22:27Speaker 1: also spurred animosity and between the sexes. Meanwhile, you have
- 22:31Speaker 1: cultural Marxists embedding themselves in the school system, sexualizing children,
- 22:36Speaker 1: convincing them that they're non-binary gender queers. And again, this
- 22:40Speaker 1: false identity often prevents them from starting a family.
- 22:43Speaker 2: We also have Democrats.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Cheering on kids who turn in their parents for protesting
- 22:49Speaker 1: on January 6th or who disavow them publicly because they're
- 22:54Speaker 1: far right and they just can't be associated with that
- 22:56Speaker 1: kind of bigotry anymore. So while all these things, they
- 23:00Speaker 1: might sound disparate, they're actually all part of the same movement, right?
- 23:04Speaker 1: This is a really godless cultural movement that's encroaching and
- 23:09Speaker 1: eroding on who we once were. It's twisting people's priorities
- 23:13Speaker 1: and values, and it's leaving the next generation sincerely stunted
- 23:18Speaker 1: and miserable. And I'm sorry, you guys, please forgive me
- 23:22Speaker 1: for ending on a depressing note. I wish I had
- 23:25Speaker 1: something more positive to leave you with on Friday. Actually, okay, actually...
- 23:29Speaker 1: The upside here is that you can have an impact
- 23:32Speaker 1: on your immediate family, right? If you insulate your kids
- 23:36Speaker 1: and your grandkids, you protect them as best you can
- 23:39Speaker 1: from the cancerous culture. You can actually have an impact.
- 23:44Speaker 1: It's possible to do things differently and to be in
- 23:46Speaker 1: a world, to be in the world, not of the world,
- 23:49Speaker 1: which is what we're all called to do anyways. All right.

- 24:07Speaker 4: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
- 24:09Speaker 4: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
- 24:13Speaker 4: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
- 24:16Speaker 4: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
- 24:18Speaker 4: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue. That is it.
- 24:23Speaker 4: This is not a football game.
