Latest / V / Young Men Abandon Democrats As War On Masculinity Backfires (Ep.30)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report Early Edition. I'm
- 0:03Speaker 1: your host, Evita. I have a lot of stories to
- 0:05Speaker 1: share with you guys today. A surfer was violently arrested
- 0:10Speaker 1: for refusing to present a beach badge at a New
- 0:14Speaker 1: Jersey beach. And the footage is really horrible. I have
- 0:17Speaker 1: to discuss it with you all. Brittany Mahomes is being
- 0:21Speaker 1: slandered for liking a Trump post. Uniparty members endorse Kamala Harris. Surprise, surprise. Meanwhile,
- 0:29Speaker 1: Tulsi Gabbard endorses Donald Trump. Why ABC News is compromised
- 0:34Speaker 1: and cannot fairly host the debate between Kamala and Trump.
- 0:37Speaker 1: The media wants you to believe Doug Emhoff is a
- 0:41Speaker 1: sex symbol. That is an actual article. Polling shows young
- 0:45Speaker 1: men are abandoning the Democrat Party in droves. A TikTok
- 0:49Speaker 1: trend about a 12th century crusader highlights men's disillusionment with
- 0:54Speaker 1: modern life. And Democrat influencers at the DNC sing extremely
- 0:59Speaker 1: crude and bizarre song in public. All this on Bongina
- 1:03Speaker 1: Report Early Edition. You guys ever come across those stories
- 1:19Speaker 1: and they just make you go, what has happened to America?
- 1:23Speaker 1: I want you guys to watch this video of a
- 1:26Speaker 1: surfer who was arrested in Belmar Beach, New Jersey for
- 1:31Speaker 1: not having a beach badge. Listen to this back and forth.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I'm not going to ask you too many more times.
- 1:42Speaker 1: You're not free to leave.
- 1:45Speaker 3: You are.
- 1:46Speaker 1: And you take another step, you'll be arrested. I promise you.
- 1:48Speaker 4: I promise you.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Just come here.
- 1:55Speaker 1: You can talk to Harry Hartson about this. Talk to
- 1:58Speaker 1: whoever you want about it.
- 1:59Speaker 4: Talk to me right now. I'm not doing anything wrong.
- 2:01Speaker 2: I'm in the ocean.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:02Speaker 2: What about the beach badge, though?
- 2:03Speaker 1: Someone needs your information.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Because I'm not on the beach.
- 2:05Speaker 1: You're allowed to access.
- 2:06Speaker 2: The water to surf or to fish.
- 2:09Speaker 3: You are? Yes.
- 2:11Speaker 1: And you don't need a beach badge for that.
- 2:15Speaker 4: You need a beach badge.
- 2:16Speaker 1: To get off this beach. This is a free beach.
- 2:18Speaker 1: What even is a beach badge? I've never even heard
- 2:21Speaker 1: of such a thing. And the situation... gets dramatically worse.
- 2:25Speaker 1: The two officers place the surfer in a violent chokehold,
- 2:29Speaker 1: throw him down on the sand, and then put him
- 2:31Speaker 1: in the back of a cop car to be arrested.
- 2:33Speaker 1: And before this point, the surfer is actually desperately trying
- 2:37Speaker 1: to tell the officers that he does indeed have a
- 2:41Speaker 1: beach badge. Let's play that. Let's play the end video there.
- 2:45Speaker 1: You can see just how chaotic things start to get.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Stop resisting.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Put your hand behind your back. Mikey, if we could
- 3:05Speaker 1: skip ahead a little bit.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Hey, call Harry Hartson, please.
- 3:11Speaker 4: I have a fucking badge.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Eventually, you see him get thrown in.
- 3:16Speaker 1: The back of a cop car. We're good with that, Mikey.
- 3:22Speaker 1: So the surfer was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest,
- 3:26Speaker 1: obstruction of justice, and according to the Belmar Beach website,
- 3:31Speaker 1: badges are required to enter the beach seven days a
- 3:34Speaker 1: week beginning Memorial Day, weekend to Labor Day, and violators
- 3:38Speaker 1: will be issued a summons and escorted from the beach
- 3:41Speaker 1: and may not return until they have obtained the infamous
- 3:45Speaker 1: beach badge. And anyone who is caught walking on a
- 3:48Speaker 1: dune without the beach badge will be subject to an
- 3:51Speaker 1: additional fine of no less than $ 500. And I know
- 3:55Speaker 1: this isn't like a mainstream story that the major headlines, CNN, MSNBC,
- 4:00Speaker 1: Fox News, nobody's covering this story because it's a little
- 4:04Speaker 1: bit of a local news story. But I think it's
- 4:07Speaker 1: emblematic of something much deeper and sicker that's happening in America.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Whatever happened to public land? Do we not give enough
- 4:17Speaker 1: of our tax dollars to not have to pay for
- 4:20Speaker 1: a beach badge to use the publicly funded beaches in
- 4:24Speaker 1: this country? It was so over the top and wrong
- 4:28Speaker 1: what happened to the surfer. And it reminds me of
- 4:30Speaker 1: when California authorities would arrest people for paddle boarding alone
- 4:35Speaker 1: in the ocean during COVID. All these videos of just
- 4:38Speaker 1: people control and authoritarian tendencies that we never used to
- 4:43Speaker 1: see in America. Can you guys imagine somebody arresting a
- 4:46Speaker 1: surfer bro for not having a beach badge in 1980?
- 4:49Speaker 1: It wouldn't happen. And it starts to become infuriating when
- 4:54Speaker 1: you also think about the double standard in this country.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Our government does not punish left-wing terrorism like the BLM
- 5:01Speaker 1: rioting or the post Roe v. Wade firebombing of pro-life
- 5:04Speaker 1: pregnancy centers. The Russia hoaxers And Jeffrey Epstein clientele are
- 5:10Speaker 1: completely off the hook. In fact, we, the taxpayers, are
- 5:14Speaker 1: paying money to Russia hoaxer Peter Strzok and Lisa Page
- 5:18Speaker 1: in a lawsuit they filed against the federal government, which
- 5:20Speaker 1: we all foot the bill for. And meanwhile, this surfer
- 5:24Speaker 1: bro gets thrown on the ground, put in the back
- 5:27Speaker 1: of a cop car for using a public beach and surfing. We...
- 5:35Speaker 1: We pay to use these beaches, and at the same time,
- 5:39Speaker 1: we're also paying for things like housing, feeding, providing health
- 5:42Speaker 1: care for illegal aliens. Marjorie Taylor Greene pointed this out.
- 5:47Speaker 1: What has happened to America? The double standard, the overtaxation,
- 5:51Speaker 1: the rules infringing on normal, generally law-abiding Americans and small businesses.
- 5:57Speaker 1: It's like it's choking us alive. It's killing people's spirits.
- 6:03Speaker 1: We're going to come back to the killing of people's
- 6:05Speaker 1: spirits at the end of the show, but I want
- 6:07Speaker 1: you to keep this story in mind. For now, though,
- 6:10Speaker 1: major news with Brittany Mahomes, really, truly major. The former
- 6:16Speaker 1: soccer player and wife of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback
- 6:19Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes liked a post by Trump. Yes, that's it.
- 6:23Speaker 1: That's the whole story. She liked this post of the
- 6:26Speaker 1: GOP party platform by President Trump. That's it. That's the story.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Everyone is freaking out that Britney liked this random post,
- 6:36Speaker 1: which outlined a 2024 GOP platform. And part of the
- 6:40Speaker 1: platform is to stop the immigrant invasion, carry out the
- 6:44Speaker 1: largest deportation operation in American history, and to keep men
- 6:47Speaker 1: out of women's sports. All that sounds pretty great to me,
- 6:50Speaker 1: but the swarm of Democrat thought police came for Britney.
- 6:54Speaker 1: One person wrote on X, Patrick Mahomes, imagine marrying someone
- 6:58Speaker 1: who doesn't care about your rights and your kids' rights.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Brittany Mahomes agreeing to Project 2025, but married to a
- 7:04Speaker 1: black man with mixed kids is insane. Again, yes, Patrick
- 7:07Speaker 1: Mahomes is black. Their children are mixed. Brittany is, of course, white. Now,
- 7:13Speaker 1: Brittany seems to have criticized her critics via an Instagram story.
- 7:17Speaker 1: She wrote, to be a hater as an adult, you
- 7:20Speaker 1: have to have some deep rooted issues. You refuse to
- 7:23Speaker 1: heal from childhood. There's no reason your brain is fully developed.
- 7:27Speaker 1: There's no reason your brain is fully developed and you
- 7:29Speaker 1: hate to see others doing well. Now, she has unliked
- 7:33Speaker 1: the Trump photo, but yet her response on Instagram seems
- 7:37Speaker 1: to be somewhat defiant, although a little bit cryptic. And
- 7:41Speaker 1: this is really what Democrats have done to this country.
- 7:43Speaker 1: They've created an environment of fear and of censorship. We
- 7:48Speaker 1: aren't even free to like an Instagram post by the
- 7:51Speaker 1: former president, let alone speak freely without leftists accusing you
- 7:56Speaker 1: of racism or xenophobia or even saying you're unfit to
- 8:00Speaker 1: be a parent. I mean, think about what the criticism
- 8:02Speaker 1: is of Britney. You're unfit to raise your mixed race
- 8:06Speaker 1: children because you support Trump. What gives a leftist the right,
- 8:11Speaker 1: the audacity to tell a mother something like that? Guys,
- 8:16Speaker 1: these people are losing their minds. And so many of normal,
- 8:23Speaker 1: regular Americans are being bullied into submission and silence. Speaking
- 8:30Speaker 1: of people wanting all of us to be bullied into silence. Oh,
- 8:34Speaker 1: someone said, Brittany is now on a no-fly list. Probably
- 8:37Speaker 1: somebody commented that. It's possible. You know, these are people
- 8:41Speaker 1: who want to label half the country domestic terrorists, and
- 8:45Speaker 1: want to do anything in their political arsenal to keep
- 8:50Speaker 1: us silent, to keep us marginalized in society. And speaking
- 8:57Speaker 1: of the people who are partnering with Democrats to keep
- 8:59Speaker 1: the rest of us marginalized in society, more than 200
- 9:03Speaker 1: Republicans who previously worked for either Former President George W. Bush,
- 9:07Speaker 1: late Senator John McCain, or Senator Mitt Romney have endorsed
- 9:11Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
- 9:15Speaker 4: And I'm sorry, but.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Apparently this was supposed to be a big deal. All
- 9:19Speaker 1: these guys are establishment Republicans who detest Trump, but apparently
- 9:23Speaker 1: this was a great revelation. And a lot of people
- 9:26Speaker 1: online were joking that this is actually a selling point
- 9:30Speaker 1: for Trump. It really does nothing to rival the RFK Jr.
- 9:34Speaker 1: endorsement in any meaningful way. Trump supporters already don't like Romney, McCain,
- 9:39Speaker 1: or Bush. And leftists certainly don't. So the only people
- 9:43Speaker 1: this is really appealing to are the Lincoln Project grifters.
- 9:47Speaker 1: And they, again, already hated Trump. So I'm not really
- 9:50Speaker 1: sure what is being accomplished by this letter of Kamala
- 9:53Speaker 1: Harris support from UTA party members. On the flip side,
- 9:56Speaker 1: Trump received a pretty powerful endorsement from former Representative Tulsi
- 10:00Speaker 1: Gabbard yesterday. Take a listen.
- 10:02Speaker 4: We as Americans must stand together to reject this anti-freedom
- 10:07Speaker 4: culture of political retaliation and abuse of power. We can't
- 10:13Speaker 4: allow our country to be destroyed by politicians who will
- 10:15Speaker 4: put their own power ahead of the interests of the
- 10:18Speaker 4: American people and our freedom, and our future. I am
- 10:30Speaker 4: proud to stand here before you today, whether you're a Democrat,
- 10:36Speaker 4: a Republican, or an Independent, if you love our country
- 10:42Speaker 4: as I do, if you cherish peace and freedom as
- 10:45Speaker 4: we do, I invite you to join me in doing
- 10:48Speaker 4: all that we can to save our country and elect
- 10:51Speaker 4: President Donald J. Trump and send him back to the
- 10:55Speaker 4: White House to do the tough work of saving our
- 10:58Speaker 4: country and serving the people. Thank you very much. Thank
- 11:01Speaker 4: you very much, Mr.
- 11:02Speaker 1: President. We're good with that. I think that was a
- 11:08Speaker 1: really powerful message to have Democrats come out and say,
- 11:12Speaker 1: Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard or RFK Jr., say that our
- 11:16Speaker 1: party has abandoned their principles and pursuit of power. The
- 11:20Speaker 1: party left people like Tulsi Gabbard in the dust, and
- 11:24Speaker 1: it's essentially ruled by the permanent state. Here's RFK Jr.
- 11:28Speaker 1: explaining as much on Tucker Carlson yesterday.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Suing me now in a dozen states. I've been in
- 11:35Speaker 3: trials for the past three weeks. You know, I've spent
- 11:38Speaker 3: most of my time not campaigning, but sitting in court...
- 11:44Speaker 3: in cases that are trying to get me off the ballot.
- 11:46Speaker 3: So I had a million people, a million American citizens,
- 11:52Speaker 3: sign petitions, more than any candidate in history. Everybody said,
- 11:57Speaker 3: I'd never do this. It would be impossible to be
- 11:59Speaker 3: on the ballot in 50 states. Well, guess what? We
- 12:01Speaker 3: got on the ballot in 50 states. And we did
- 12:04Speaker 3: it by getting a million citizens to sign petitions saying
- 12:09Speaker 3: that they wanted to vote for me. And the Democratic
- 12:12Speaker 3: Party now is suing me in all those states to
- 12:15Speaker 3: make sure that those people cannot vote for the person
- 12:17Speaker 3: they want to. When I was growing up, the Democratic
- 12:20Speaker 3: Party of RFK and JFK was the party that was
- 12:25Speaker 3: fighting for voting rights. It was fighting to make sure
- 12:28Speaker 3: that every American could vote for the candidate of their choice,
- 12:32Speaker 3: no matter whether they're black or white or where they
- 12:34Speaker 3: lived or Democrat or Republican. Now the Democratic Party, today's
- 12:37Speaker 3: Democratic Party, feels so unconfident about the candidates that it's
- 12:43Speaker 3: putting forward. And it feels the only way it can
- 12:46Speaker 3: win the election is by getting rid of the opponents.
- 12:52Speaker 1: This is a really important point to drive home, that
- 12:55Speaker 1: the lawfare is not reserved for Trump. It is standard
- 12:59Speaker 1: Democrat practice, and they'll even use it against their own.
- 13:03Speaker 1: And as we look to what happened yesterday, the slew
- 13:07Speaker 1: of endorsements and in the wake of what happened last Friday,
- 13:10Speaker 1: I think I prefer endorsements from RFK Jr. and Tulsi
- 13:13Speaker 1: Gabbard over former Romney staffers.
- 13:17Speaker 3: All right, moving on.
- 13:18Speaker 1: ABC News is set to host the first presidential debate
- 13:21Speaker 1: between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on September 10th. And
- 13:25Speaker 1: do you guys want to know how we know this
- 13:26Speaker 1: is going to be a rigged debate against Trump? This
- 13:31Speaker 1: is greater than even the fact that ABC News is,
- 13:33Speaker 1: of course, a left-wing outlet. Dana Walden, the Disney executive
- 13:38Speaker 1: under whose purview falls ABC News, is a close friend
- 13:42Speaker 1: of Kamala, a former Biden appointee, and this is the
- 13:46Speaker 1: real thing, introduced Kamala to her husband, Doug Emhoff. You
- 13:52Speaker 1: can't get closer than that to somebody. This is per
- 13:54Speaker 1: the New York Times. Walden first met Harris in 1994
- 13:58Speaker 1: while their husbands, Matt Walden and Doug Emhoff, have known
- 14:01Speaker 1: each other since the 1980s. Harris described the Waldens as
- 14:05Speaker 1: extraordinary friends. And they have donated to Harris's campaigns since
- 14:09Speaker 1: at least 2003 when she ran for San Francisco District Attorney. Now,
- 14:15Speaker 1: in 2023, Walden donated $ 20, 000 to the Biden-Harris re-election campaign.
- 14:21Speaker 1: And in February 2023, Biden announced that Walden had been
- 14:24Speaker 1: appointed as a member of the President's Export Council, which
- 14:28Speaker 1: serves as the principal national advisory, a committee on international trade.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Pretty powerful position. And on the flip side, there's a
- 14:35Speaker 1: really close relationship with this top ABC News executive. On
- 14:39Speaker 1: the flip side, Trump has had to sue ABC News
- 14:42Speaker 1: for defamation. Guys, this debate will be rigged against Trump.
- 14:47Speaker 1: This is why if he outperforms Kamala, you know it
- 14:51Speaker 1: was in spite of the regime, in spite of the
- 14:55Speaker 1: controlled media, which is hosting this debate and will not
- 15:00Speaker 1: do a fair job. We're going to take a quick break,
- 15:03Speaker 1: but when we come back, I have an unbelievable example
- 15:06Speaker 1: of corporate media shilling for Kamala and abandoning all principles whatsoever.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. Shout out to our sponsors for keeping
- 15:17Speaker 1: this show free. Really appreciate them. Guys, I cannot believe
- 15:20Speaker 1: that this next story is even real, but apparently it is.
- 15:24Speaker 1: The Washington Post headlined this piece, Doug Emhoff, Modern Day
- 15:30Speaker 1: Sex Symbol. And the article, this is not a joke,
- 15:33Speaker 1: you guys. It compares Doug Emhoff to Ryan Gosling and
- 15:37Speaker 1: says that Emhoff embodies the modern female fantasy. That is
- 15:42Speaker 1: a quote. I cannot emphasize enough. This is a real article. Now, obviously,
- 15:48Speaker 1: this piece is just ridiculous and transparently Kamala campaign propaganda,
- 15:53Speaker 1: and it's not even attempting to hide that it's propaganda.
- 15:57Speaker 1: But guys, Doug Emhoff is not a sex symbol. Doug
- 16:01Speaker 1: Hemhoff is the type of man that you run from. First,
- 16:04Speaker 1: he impregnated his wife's nanny. I'm sorry, his children's nanny.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Cheated on his wife. Destroyed his family. A real man
- 16:14Speaker 1: controls his sexual appetites and doesn't obliterate his family and
- 16:20Speaker 1: irrevocably harm his wife and his children due to his
- 16:24Speaker 1: sexual appetites. That's not what men do. It's not sexy.
- 16:28Speaker 1: It's a beta male nightmare. And second... Doug Emhoff's not
- 16:31Speaker 1: attractive in the slightest. This is a pudgy old guy
- 16:34Speaker 1: with a non-existent jawline.
- 16:36Speaker 4: This, I mean, what?
- 16:37Speaker 1: A sex symbol?
- 16:38Speaker 2: Really?
- 16:39Speaker 4: Really?
- 16:40Speaker 1: RFK Jr. is a thousand times hotter than Doug Emhoff,
- 16:45Speaker 1: and he's 10 years older. Now, it was difficult for me,
- 16:51Speaker 1: but for all of you, I actually did read this article,
- 16:54Speaker 1: and I absorbed the argument as brain-dead as it was.
- 16:59Speaker 1: The reason... The Washington Post, yes, Anita, thank you. It
- 17:03Speaker 1: is gross. I just threw up in my mouth. I
- 17:06Speaker 1: threw up in my mouth a little too. If you
- 17:08Speaker 1: guys had to actually read the article, you'd know it
- 17:10Speaker 1: gets so much worse. So the Washington Post thinks that
- 17:13Speaker 1: Doug Emhoff is a sex symbol because, and this is
- 17:16Speaker 1: a quote, Emhoff is secure enough with his own masculinity
- 17:20Speaker 1: to sometimes prioritize his wife's ambition over his own. He's
- 17:24Speaker 1: a high achieving alpha. No, he's not. But he isn't
- 17:28Speaker 1: threatened if his wife is too. He loves his job,
- 17:31Speaker 1: but he loves his wife more. He knows that supporting
- 17:34Speaker 1: one's family is about more than financial support and that
- 17:37Speaker 1: temporarily setting aside his own professional ego makes him no
- 17:41Speaker 1: less of a man. So he's a man. because he's
- 17:45Speaker 1: willing to be Kamala's sidekick is essentially what the Washington
- 17:49Speaker 1: Post is arguing. He's a sex symbol because he's willing
- 17:52Speaker 1: to be Kamala's sidekick. And there's nothing wrong, in my view,
- 17:55Speaker 1: with men taking a more supportive role. I think every
- 17:58Speaker 1: couple has their own setup. Just to get a little
- 18:01Speaker 1: personal for a second, my mom was a stay-at-home mom
- 18:03Speaker 1: for 10 years, and she took a very supportive role
- 18:06Speaker 1: while my dad was a member of Congress. And then
- 18:09Speaker 1: my mom started working and trying to get a job
- 18:11Speaker 1: as the weekend host of Fox and Friends. Some of
- 18:13Speaker 1: you might see her, Rachel Campos Duffy. I love her,
- 18:16Speaker 1: wonderful woman. And my dad, during this time when she
- 18:18Speaker 1: was trying to get that job, he took a very
- 18:20Speaker 1: supportive role. And now my parents, they collaborate and they
- 18:23Speaker 1: support each other in their respective careers. And at different
- 18:27Speaker 1: points in their lives, they each sort of assumed a
- 18:29Speaker 1: supporting role. The problem here is that the left's idea
- 18:34Speaker 1: of an ideal man is, one, someone who apparently cheats
- 18:39Speaker 1: on their wife with their children's nanny, but two, is
- 18:44Speaker 1: somebody who's willing to be a girl boss's sidekick. And
- 18:48Speaker 1: this message as a whole is very alienating to many men.
- 18:52Speaker 1: It's essentially saying, if you want to be an attractive
- 18:56Speaker 1: manly man, step aside for a woman. And it's degrading.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Men today feel disrespected. They're not encouraged to use their
- 19:05Speaker 1: masculinity to protect, defend, build, or discover anything. And instead,
- 19:11Speaker 1: they're told that their very nature is toxic and that
- 19:15Speaker 1: the system, such as scholarships, college admissions, all these things
- 19:20Speaker 1: are rigged against them, particularly if they're a white man.
- 19:24Speaker 1: There's no such thing as boy bossing in America. It's
- 19:28Speaker 1: just girl bossing. And so men aren't aspiring to anything
- 19:32Speaker 1: because our culture does not respect or value them. And
- 19:35Speaker 1: what's happening is men are giving up. Male suicide, depression,
- 19:39Speaker 1: and anxiety are through the roof. Men make up 80%
- 19:43Speaker 1: of suicides in America.
- 19:44Speaker 4: 80.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Per the CDC. And this is why you're seeing so
- 19:52Speaker 1: many young men turn to the right. The New York
- 19:54Speaker 1: Times chart, you can see that Gen Z women appear
- 19:58Speaker 1: to be nearly plus 40 for, oh, I'm sorry, no,
- 20:02Speaker 1: plus 20 for Kamala Harris. Oh, is it plus 40?
- 20:08Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not even reading it. Um, yes, you're right.
- 20:12Speaker 1: And then, and then Mikey can, I'm sorry, I'm having trouble.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Is it plus 12 for, for men? It looks like
- 20:19Speaker 1: plus 15. So there's a real, there's a real difference.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Obviously young women are overwhelmingly supporting Kamala Harris and men
- 20:28Speaker 1: are very predominantly supporting Donald Trump. And it's not just
- 20:35Speaker 1: that young men feel disrespected by Democrats. You're also seeing
- 20:39Speaker 1: a return to King Baldwin, the famous 12th century crusader,
- 20:45Speaker 1: has been trending on TikTok and Instagram reels for months now.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Here is an example of what I'm talking about.
- 20:52Speaker 4: When I was 16, I won a great victory.
- 20:54Speaker 3: I felt in that moment I would live to be 100.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Now I know I shall not see 30.
- 21:00Speaker 4: I know I shall not see 30.
- 21:09Speaker 1: So there are tons of edits out there like this one.
- 21:12Speaker 1: And the footage of King Baldwin in that video is
- 21:15Speaker 1: being derived from the movie Kingdom of Heaven, which came
- 21:18Speaker 1: out a long time ago, many, many years ago. But
- 21:21Speaker 1: young men are genuinely interested in the King Baldwin story.
- 21:24Speaker 1: It's really not about the movie. Here's a group of
- 21:27Speaker 1: young men getting their teacher to cover King Baldwin in
- 21:30Speaker 1: the classroom. Okay.
- 21:35Speaker 5: So obviously he's, he's beloved by young men.
- 21:49Speaker 1: He's trending on Tik TOK and Instagram reels. He has
- 21:51Speaker 1: been for several months now. I'm going to give you
- 21:53Speaker 1: guys a little bit of a history here about who
- 21:55Speaker 1: King Baldwin is, which again, there's videos all over Tik
- 21:58Speaker 1: TOK of people explaining who he is, talking about his story.
- 22:02Speaker 1: King Baldwin ruled Jerusalem in the 12th century. He ascended
- 22:06Speaker 1: the throne at just 13 years old. And Baldwin was
- 22:10Speaker 1: diagnosed with leprosy at nine. So before he took the throne,
- 22:14Speaker 1: he knew that he had leprosy. And of course, at
- 22:16Speaker 1: this time, leprosy is not curable. And this is why,
- 22:20Speaker 1: if you're listening, King Baldwin is usually depicted wearing a
- 22:23Speaker 1: mask because his face was disfigured from the disease. Now,
- 22:27Speaker 1: during Baldwin's rule, the Kurdish Sultan Saladin saw Baldwin as
- 22:33Speaker 1: weak because of course his age and his wellness and
- 22:36Speaker 1: decided to invade Jerusalem. And at 16, Baldwin's crusader army
- 22:43Speaker 1: of 500 knights and a few thousand infantrymen met Kurdish
- 22:47Speaker 1: Sultan Saladin's much larger forces, which numbered as many as 26,000 soldiers.
- 22:54Speaker 1: And the Christian army was petrified because of course they
- 22:58Speaker 1: were wildly outnumbered. But Baldwin, who was described by his
- 23:02Speaker 1: men as half dead at this point from his leprosy,
- 23:06Speaker 1: he rose to the occasion. And this is from Crusader Magazine.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Dismounting his horse, he called for the Bishop of Bethlehem
- 23:13Speaker 1: to raise up the relic of the true cross he carried.
- 23:17Speaker 1: The king then prostrated before the sacred relic, beseeching God
- 23:20Speaker 1: for success. Rising from prayer, he exhorted his men to
- 23:24Speaker 1: press the attack in charge. And the Muslims then fled
- 23:29Speaker 1: with a tenth of their forces left after Baldwin successfully
- 23:33Speaker 1: won this battle. And it was said that after this point,
- 23:36Speaker 1: Baldwin ruled Jerusalem with peace, justice, and religious tolerance. And
- 23:42Speaker 1: he ended up dying of leprosy at the age of
- 23:44Speaker 1: 23 or 24. And his body was rotting as all
- 23:48Speaker 1: this was happening. He was dying. But he never lost
- 23:52Speaker 1: strength or courage. He carried his cross. He embraced suffering
- 23:56Speaker 1: for a cause greater than himself. And he did all
- 23:59Speaker 1: this in his teens, in his early 20s. And to me,
- 24:03Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense why young men are attracted to
- 24:06Speaker 1: the story of King Baldwin. Young men are yearning for
- 24:09Speaker 1: that kind of responsibility and sacrifice. And what Democrats are
- 24:12Speaker 1: offering them is aimlessness and despair. This is why tampon Tim,
- 24:18Speaker 1: they're offering tampon Tim. Apparently to the Democrats, that's what
- 24:22Speaker 1: real men look like. Men who put tampons in the
- 24:25Speaker 1: men's bathroom and burn their cities down. Guys, this is
- 24:29Speaker 1: why the Make America Great Again tagline is so attractive
- 24:33Speaker 1: to young men. It's a promise to return to the
- 24:37Speaker 1: values of the past when men had a defined role
- 24:40Speaker 1: in society, when there was order and there was respect.
- 24:43Speaker 1: And that's why I think so many... people, especially men,
- 24:46Speaker 1: were turned off by this video posted on TikTok by
- 24:50Speaker 1: the social media influencers who were invited to the DNC.
- 24:53Speaker 1: And I will preface before I play this video that
- 24:56Speaker 1: this is a pretty crude video slash song that they sing.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Much more happens at the DNC than what people see.
- 25:05Speaker 4: And I just can't believe this happened to me at
- 25:09Speaker 4: the DNC.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Oh, I got Dick down at the DNC.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Dick down at the DNC.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Thank you for having us.
- 25:25Speaker 4: It's been a real pleasure.
- 25:28Speaker 2: All right.
- 25:28Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know, Dick down is
- 25:32Speaker 1: essentially hooking up, right? They're having casual sex at the DNC.
- 25:35Speaker 1: And this is what Democrats represent. It's an abandonment of morality.
- 25:41Speaker 1: emasculation of men. And none of this is good for society.
- 25:46Speaker 1: It's eroding the mores and the values that keep us
- 25:49Speaker 1: grounded and principled. And it's certainly not good for men,
- 25:53Speaker 1: who feel more lost and disillusioned than ever before. But
- 25:59Speaker 1: it's important to note that it's also not good for women.
- 26:01Speaker 1: We've inverted the roles of men and women, and women
- 26:05Speaker 1: actually hate it. Women may think they want to be Kamala,
- 26:09Speaker 1: married to Doug Emhoff, But in reality, they don't. Here's
- 26:14Speaker 1: a young DNC woman admitting that she's more attracted to
- 26:17Speaker 1: Republican men in D.C.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Who are the cuties in the Democratic Party that are speaking?
- 26:23Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know.
- 26:24Speaker 4: Talk to anyone who lives in D.C. It's hard to
- 26:26Speaker 4: find a cute Democrat.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Oh my God, shots fired.
- 26:33Speaker 4: No, I mean, that's the tea.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Ask anyone who lives in D.C. and who works in
- 26:37Speaker 2: Democratic politics.
- 26:38Speaker 4: It's hard to find the cute ones.
- 26:39Speaker 2: The Republican guys are hotter.
- 26:41Speaker 4: Yeah, but they're evil.
- 26:42Speaker 2: So like, I don't know.
- 26:44Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 26:45Speaker 5: We kind of love evil.
- 26:46Speaker 4: Oh my God.
- 26:48Speaker 2: You are so bad.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Turns out women don't want Doug Emhoffs because women are
- 26:54Speaker 1: attracted to masculine men. This is biology, people. Common sense.
- 27:00Speaker 1: And of course, Republican men aren't evil. Young women have
- 27:02Speaker 1: just been brainwashed into fearing and hating traditional men. But
- 27:06Speaker 1: the truth is, Their career and the girl bossing, it's
- 27:10Speaker 1: not going to love them in the way that a
- 27:12Speaker 1: husband and a family will. It isn't fulfilling for young women.
- 27:16Speaker 1: And if you look around, so many young women are
- 27:18Speaker 1: playing the boss babe role, yet they're crumbling on the inside.
- 27:23Speaker 1: They want more from life than climbing some corporate ladder.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Men and women yearn for each other to collaborate and
- 27:31Speaker 1: use their distinct strengths. They're different. Men and women are
- 27:35Speaker 1: not the same. We have different strengths. to build families,
- 27:39Speaker 1: to build society. And the left is preventing us from
- 27:42Speaker 1: doing that. It's really a national tragedy playing out on
- 27:46Speaker 1: a national scale in the lives of nearly every young
- 27:49Speaker 1: person out there. And I think perhaps this issue, the
- 27:53Speaker 1: demoralization of men and the war between the sexes, is
- 27:55Speaker 1: more important than anything we've ever talked about today. All
- 28:00Speaker 1: the gratuitous rules, the overtaxation, two-tier justice, the corruption outlined
- 28:05Speaker 1: by Tulsi and RFK Jr., Even the Brittany Mahomes getting
- 28:11Speaker 1: slammed and forced into silence and submission. Culture of fear.
- 28:17Speaker 1: These are all important things. These are all things that
- 28:18Speaker 1: we have to talk about, we have to address. But
- 28:20Speaker 1: we don't stand a chance at fighting the deep state
- 28:23Speaker 1: or protecting children from the trans cult or anything really
- 28:28Speaker 1: if men stay aimless, disengaged, and depressed. America desperately needs
- 28:34Speaker 1: men to start leading and taking action. And even if
- 28:37Speaker 1: men don't know it, they desire that responsibility. It'll fulfill them.
