We are going to have Jason Whitlock on the program in just a second, host of Fearless with Jason Whitlock.

00:01:37 Speaker_02
In the meantime, I want to play some pieces of tape here from President Trump's excellent sit down interview with Meet the Press and Kristen Welker. He didn't have to do this.

00:01:47 Speaker_02
He sat down at length and went through a variety of different topics with her. Let's go to this first one here. on whether or not the United States will stay in NATO. Play cut 8.

00:01:59 Speaker_04
NATO's taking advantage of us because we were, look, two things. Number one, they take advantage of us on trade, meaning the European nations, okay, like terrible. They don't take our cars. They don't take our food product. They don't take anything.

00:02:11 Speaker_04
They think it's a disgrace. And on top of that, we defend them. So it's a double whammy. So let me just tell you, I was able to get hundreds of billions of dollars put into NATO just by a tough attitude.

00:02:24 Speaker_04
I said to the countries, I'm not going to protect you unless you pay. And they started paying. And that amounted to more than $600 billion. That's a big thing. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be fighting. They wouldn't have any money to fight.

00:02:36 Speaker_04
If they're paying their bills, and if I think they're treating us fairly, the answer is absolutely I'd stay with NATO.

00:02:43 Speaker_02
You understand, even with those preconditions, many in D.C. are very upset with that answer. But why would we be part of a membership organization that does not benefit our own country?

00:02:54 Speaker_02
NATO is basically dependent on only two countries, the United States of America and Germany. Basically, the entire project hinges on two countries.

00:03:02 Speaker_02
Now, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has been around in a rules-based international order post-World War II. And the idea of NATO was always to be a check on the Soviet Union. Okay.

00:03:18 Speaker_02
But now they're kind of reigniting their mission and their purpose as the Russian-Ukrainian war is ongoing. On the NATO website, they say, NATO condemns Russia's war against Ukraine in the strongest terms. Our alliance remains steadfast.

00:03:32 Speaker_02
Now they want to include Ukraine in NATO. And remember, I believe it's Article 5, Article 4, Article 5, Article 5, which says an attack on one is an attack on all, which means that an errant missile in a NATO country could involve American troops.

00:03:46 Speaker_02
involved in a conflict all the way in Europe? President Trump continued on his America First focused answers, talking about Mexico and Canada. Play Cut 10.

00:03:57 Speaker_04
We're subsidizing Canada to the tune of over $100 billion a year. We're subsidizing Mexico for almost $300 billion. We shouldn't be subsidizing. Why are we subsidizing these countries? If we're going to subsidize them, let them become a state.

00:04:13 Speaker_04
We're subsidizing Mexico, and we're subsidizing Canada, and we're subsidizing many countries all over the world. And all I want to do is I want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field.

00:04:26 Speaker_02
Understand, when it comes to how we deal with Mexico and Canada, this is an idea that even Ross Perot ran on in the early 1990s. Now, Donald Trump wants trade that has reciprocity.

00:04:39 Speaker_02
When you are not able to import certain products into other countries, and they're able to dump their products, specifically with China, less to an extent of Canada and Mexico, definitionally, You are not able to then have American industry.

00:04:53 Speaker_02
Our country cannot only be real estate and hedge funds. You need to make stuff. You need to have a muscular class that is able to be productive.

00:05:04 Speaker_02
Joining us now on this topic and many others is a great man, Jason Whitlock, host of Fearless with Jason Whitlock. Jason, welcome to the program.

00:05:14 Speaker_02
Jason, I'm going to talk about a different topic, actually, one that is far more important than Syria, far more important than trade, it's the 12 team college football playoff.

00:05:23 Speaker_02
And so I, is the 12 team playoff ruining college football or is it saving college football?

00:05:29 Speaker_00
Well, you're talking to someone who's always been against the playoff system always. So even when they was just four teams and two teams or whatever, I was always like, Hey, college football is not broken. It's a unique system.

00:05:46 Speaker_00
that the regular season is the most meaningful and impactful in all of sports. And so you're talking to someone that has a pretty clear-cut position. I'm not a fan of the 12-team playoff.

00:05:59 Speaker_00
I did enjoy this past weekend, the conference championships, thought those games were amazing. And, you know, so I somewhat enjoyed what transpired this weekend in terms of people's, in terms of teams getting into the playoffs or whatever.

00:06:16 Speaker_00
When you're down to debate and who's number 12, it's really not much of a debate. I think Oregon is the best team. And, you know, I think maybe Georgia, maybe Tennessee, maybe Texas are on their level.

00:06:32 Speaker_00
But Oregon is clearly the best team in college football. And I don't need a playoff to confirm what my eyes have seen.

00:06:39 Speaker_02
Well, you're going to find no disagreement here on this program, as I'm a Big Ducks fan. My dad, my uncle, my aunt all went to University of Oregon. I grew up a Big Ducks fan.

00:06:47 Speaker_02
However, in this new 12-team configuration, it seems as if Oregon has the hardest path in this bracket than even the teams that they beat. Boise State, who they beat, and Penn State, who they beat, has an easier path. How did that happen?

00:07:01 Speaker_02
What does it even mean to be the number one seed anymore in the college football playoff?

00:07:05 Speaker_00
It means if there's a possibility of screwing something up, the NCAA, college athletics will take advantage of that opportunity.

00:07:15 Speaker_00
They should have been able to see this coming, that there's no way Oregon should be facing a more difficult task than Penn State. Georgia is facing a more difficult path. It's stupid. They screwed this up. They'll correct it next year.

00:07:33 Speaker_00
I like the way Dan Lanning, the Oregon coach, handled it, though. He, instead of whining and complaining, he said, hey, it's a great challenge. We're playing for a national championship. and we're not going to duck any challenges, so we're good to go.

00:07:46 Speaker_00
He's got the right mindset. I think they'll survive the struggle, but it is just one of those oversights. They overlooked an opportunity to get this thing right coming out the gate.

00:07:59 Speaker_02
I do have one more question on the college football thing, because it actually has a legislative and a policy angle. There is going to be a very big push this spring. of consensus figurehead to fix NIL? Does it need to be fixed, Jason?

00:08:16 Speaker_02
If so, how can we even think about this or approach this?

00:08:19 Speaker_00
Yeah, it needs to be fixed, but the solutions that I used to talk about 25, 30 years ago, no longer apply because I used to want to attach, Hey, like there's a handful of athletes.

00:08:35 Speaker_00
you know, let's say 300 in major college football, 75 or so guys in major college basketball that need to be paid. And, and now we're paying everybody.

00:08:48 Speaker_00
And it's just, uh, you know, it's just, it's professional sports now and everybody's the wild, wild West, but my, my solutions used to be attached to making sure that these guys graduated.

00:09:00 Speaker_00
and paying them at the end of their college careers upon graduation.

00:09:07 Speaker_00
Now, in my mindset now, where I pretty much hate all these universities and colleges, I'm not sure forcing these guys to be educated or indoctrinated in a college is actually the right incentive, but yeah, there has to be some sort of salary cap or some sort of

00:09:28 Speaker_00
of, I don't know, some sort of fairness introduced rather than, uh, who is it? Was it Larry Ellison and Dave Portnoy that just bought Michigan's next quarterback, Bryce Underwood? Uh, I'm just not sure if that's a sustainable structure.

00:09:44 Speaker_02
Yeah. And I just, again, there, there, there, there needs to be something. still authentic and non-commercialized. It is so clear what the committee did here. They knew what they were doing. They wanted a ratings Rose Bowl of ducks versus bucks.

00:10:02 Speaker_02
That's what they wanted. They wanted an Oregon, Ohio State Rose Bowl because all these other matchups are a little goofy, like SMU and not exactly that will draw the eyeballs. So they wanted a beautiful Rose Bowl at 5 p.m. Eastern on New Year's day,

00:10:15 Speaker_02
I think it's all rigged. However, it's okay. That'll be the mini national championship. It's like a national championship play it for the right to play Arizona state or whomever. Are you ready to lose weight, but not sure where to start? I understand.

00:10:27 Speaker_02
I was right where you are two years ago. Let me tell you why I chose the PhD weight loss and nutrition program. First, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition. Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.

00:10:39 Speaker_02
Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition. There's so much more. They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind. and they work on eliminating the reason you gain this weight in the first place.

00:10:48 Speaker_02
There's no shortcuts, pills or injections, just solid science-based nutrition and behavior change. And finally, a probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds. Look, they're amazing. If you want to lose weight, you got to go to myphdweightloss.com.

00:10:58 Speaker_02
I was just texting with Dr. Ash Lucas today. If you're ready to lose weight for the last time, call 864-644-1900. Go online at myphdweightloss.com. Do what I did and what hundreds of my listeners have done and called today, 864-644-1900.

00:11:13 Speaker_02
I recommend their program. Dr. Asher Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition. Her program is based on years of research and is science-based. Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition, but it's so much more.

00:11:24 Speaker_02
Go to MyPhDWeightLoss.com. MyPhDWeightLoss.com. Call 864-644-1900. I lost over 30 pounds. Dr. Asher Lucas, great American. Check it out. MyPhDWeightLoss.com. All right, so there is this story that broke late last night of Jay-Z.

00:11:44 Speaker_02
who is named in a civil lawsuit by Tony Busby, who's a serious lawyer, who also defended Ken Paxton in his impeachment trial.

00:11:52 Speaker_02
And then Jay-Z issued this crazy statement on X. Usually I don't cover any of the celebrity news, but Jason, look, I make a habit out of intentionally trying to know as little as possible about random celebrities.

00:12:05 Speaker_02
So tell me about this, Jason, and educate me alongside the audience.

00:12:09 Speaker_00
Well, Charlie, this issue is actually very important. What has gone on in the music industry, and particularly in commercial hip hop, it's, it's, it's the, a partner of Epstein Island.

00:12:27 Speaker_00
It's the partner of sexually compromising certain influencers and celebrities and having dirt on them so that you can control them.

00:12:40 Speaker_00
There's no mystery why everybody in the music industry, everybody in Hollywood, all support the same political party and the same ideology. It's because they're controlled. They don't have their freedom.

00:12:53 Speaker_00
And so for Jay-Z to be linked to the malfeasance, the criminality, the immorality of Sean Diddy Combs, I think is very, very important. I've never liked Jay-Z.

00:13:08 Speaker_00
I've never liked his music or I've never supported his music in terms of, there's all of this attachment to the occult. I mean, it laced within Jay-Z's music. And so I'm thrilled to see Jay-Z get exposed. I'm thrilled to see Diddy get exposed.

00:13:28 Speaker_00
They are, you know, Diddy had this whole voter die in support of the Democrat Party. These guys need to be exposed. Their music is a part of a promotion of a nihilistic mindset. that fuels child sacrifice, child abuse.

00:13:49 Speaker_00
This is what's going on and what's being exposed in the music industry and throughout Hollywood speaks to our overall cultural decay. It speaks to how do you get a country in the mindset where a political platform is based on the abortion of children?

00:14:09 Speaker_00
How do you get a country and a mindset where that's even a possibility? That you're the number one focus of your political movement is, hey, we got to be able to kill babies when whenever we want.

00:14:22 Speaker_00
you do it by bathing the culture in a nihilistic mindset. And this, the music that Jay-Z and Diddy and hip hop produced, it all promotes, supports, puts people in a nihilistic mindset. And so I think this is vital.

00:14:40 Speaker_00
I think this is the kind of stuff that I hope Cash Patel and anybody else involved in law enforcement, the Department of Justice, we need to be looking into this. How did American culture get so rotten that

00:14:57 Speaker_00
one half of the country thinks killing babies is a constitutional right and the key to their freedom. This stuff is all connected. And so Jay-Z has been linked to or in a lawsuit where he's accused of participating in the rape of a 13-year-old girl.

00:15:17 Speaker_00
And Jay-Z's put out a statement threatening the lawyer that's helping the young lady with this lawsuit or whatever. It does not surprise me that Jay-Z would be linked to this.

00:15:31 Speaker_00
If you listen to his music, if you listen to the visual symbols that he associated with his music and his music videos, this is exactly the type of behavior that he would be involved in, and it needs to be exposed.

00:15:48 Speaker_02
And this is a serious lawyer by the name of Tony Busby who accuses, I mean, just this unspeakable crime in a civil lawsuit, mind you. Any other details about a minute, half a minute remaining here, Jason, that are important in this lawsuit?

00:16:02 Speaker_00
I believe Busby is the lawyer that represented Deshaun Watson accusers, the NFL quarterback that had 25, 30 massage therapists come after him. And so his reputation, is pretty well established in the Houston area. He's pretty successful.

00:16:24 Speaker_00
He has not backed down. Jay-Z put out a statement last night about how honorable he is and how, you know, he doesn't understand. He's threatening Tony Busby. You don't understand where I come from. And it's all laughable to me.

00:16:38 Speaker_00
Jay-Z has bragged for years about being a drug dealer, and now he wants to talk about how honorable he is and how there was a code where he grew up where we protected kids. I'm like, really? By poisoning their parents?

00:16:51 Speaker_00
By selling drugs throughout the community? That's how you protected kids?

00:16:56 Speaker_02
Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here. If you ever had a doubt that there's a war on the unborn, you now know beyond a doubt that is the case.

00:17:01 Speaker_02
It'd be easy to give up, but you know I'll never give up on giving the truth to girls and women who the other side want to choose death for their baby.

00:17:08 Speaker_02
I'm standing for life no matter what the other side says, and we're going to save more babies than ever before to show them that truth will win out. It can only be shared with girls and women who will make the right choice.

00:17:17 Speaker_02
Preborn provides free ultrasounds to girls and women. It's the truth that they deserve, and it doubles the chance that she'll choose life. $140 gives five mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies.

00:17:29 Speaker_02

00:18:06 Speaker_02
I mean, we did have a big event, but even people around me, it was the joke. As soon as our big event ended at Mar-a-Lago, I had an iPad of the Big Ten Championship. You just, you can't get away with it, right? You're raised with it.

00:18:17 Speaker_02
It's very cathartic for me. It's kind of a way to kind of relax. And I was looking at these clips too of people sending me. There were a lot of vocal testimonies, more so than I've seen in quite some time, talking about their faith in Jesus.

00:18:31 Speaker_02
This one in particular of this awesome coach, only lost to Oregon, mind you, of Boise State University. Keep your eyes on Boise State. Just amazing. Talking about how he baptized Ashen Gentee, who should win the Heisman, in my opinion. Just phenomenal.

00:18:45 Speaker_02
Let's play cut 17.

00:18:46 Speaker_01
Thank you, Jesus. I mean, Jesus deserves all the glory. I mean, we serve a champion. He died on the cross, but he rose again three days later. That's the God I serve, man. Anything's possible. And our players, they don't run from hard work.

00:19:05 Speaker_01
They just keep swinging, keep swinging, keep swinging. That's uncommon. They deserve the credit.

00:19:10 Speaker_02
Jesus deserves the credit. Jason, I don't know if we would have saw that five years ago on network TV.

00:19:17 Speaker_00
Yeah, we would have seen a, hey, I just want to thank God and then keep it moving. But I think people now are being far more specific and far more bold in their proclamations. And it's a reflection of the time we're living in, Charlie.

00:19:38 Speaker_00
When you have this level of wickedness in the culture, And people are seeing this and like, man, there's a lot of celebrities that seem to be endorsing this. There are people that's trying to make it clear. I'm not with that.

00:19:56 Speaker_00
And the best way to make it clear, to say you're not with those people, is to let everybody know who you are actually with, and it's Jesus Christ. And so that's why I'm thankful for

00:20:10 Speaker_00
the level of wickedness that's out in the open and people are doing because it's forcing those of us that are believers to stand more boldly and to quit apologizing about our Christian faith.

00:20:24 Speaker_00
We've been closeted and now to see so many people boldly coming out of the closet about their faith and serving Jesus Christ. I've got a good friend that's on the coaching staff at Boise State. He's one of their defensive coordinators.

00:20:42 Speaker_00
He's told me about the culture that they've established here at Boise State and just how much they lean into their faith. And it's why they've achieved so much. It's why Ashton Junte has achieved so much.

00:20:56 Speaker_00
I think a lot of people in sports from Harrison Bucker to just a lot of people are making it crystal clear. You're seeing more after game and pregame prayers on the field publicly. It's like, man, Tim Tebow was ahead of his time.

00:21:13 Speaker_00
If he was right here, if he was here now, he would be celebrated rather than vilified.

00:21:18 Speaker_02
Yeah, and let's try to kind of connect the dots of what happened in the election and then what was happening here with just the more, let's just say, permission for people to say their private opinions and not be intimidated to do so.

00:21:33 Speaker_02
Was the election kind of a societal-wide permission slip that it's okay maybe to hold opinions that otherwise people would find to be, let's just say, verboten?

00:21:47 Speaker_00
The election process, I would say, and the assassination attempt on President Trump was the real permission slip in my mind, because when you saw that, watched that, man, that's a miracle. This man turned his head at the exact right time.

00:22:09 Speaker_00
Something is going on here. And to see President Trump start to mature in his faith walk, I think made people say, well, hold on a minute. This guy's willing to risk his life.

00:22:29 Speaker_00
you know, and I'm not willing to just publicly state who I stand with and what my faith is. You gotta be a pretty weak man to watch a 78 year old risk his life. And then you're not willing to just say, Hey, I'm with, I'm with Jesus Christ.

00:22:47 Speaker_00
And so I think that was the, uh, permission slip, and just the energy, the fuel necessary to get men to ante up.

00:23:00 Speaker_00
As I said last year, throughout all of last year, and I can remember I talked about it at Marifest, it's like, hey men, we have to quit apologizing for being men. We have to quit apologizing for our beliefs. We have to move past

00:23:18 Speaker_00
uh, being afraid that we're going to be called an Uncle Tom or we're going to be called a racist or we're going to be called homophobic.

00:23:24 Speaker_00
We have to move past all that and, and stand on some values and, and some convictions and to speak them boldly and deal with the consequences. And, and like, Holy cow, here we are a year later and everybody's doing this.

00:23:38 Speaker_00
It's kind of like the Trump dance. Uh, and so what a time to be alive. I'm, I'm, I'm, I didn't, I didn't know, that it would happen this quickly, but it has.

00:23:48 Speaker_02
On top of that, I have a question about, we're seeing some corporations and institutions retreat from diversity, equity, inclusion, and woke-ism. Is that connected, Jason?

00:23:59 Speaker_00
No question about it. We can have so much impact if we just stood our ground. This fight, these people are cowards. I mean, the opposition are actual cowards. And all we have to do is stand up and say, nah, we're not doing that.

00:24:20 Speaker_00
And so right here in Tennessee, you know, our guy Robbie Starbuck, he's been a little one man army. going after these corporations and companies. He's just a guy, and again, great guy.

00:24:34 Speaker_00
Robbie's had success in Hollywood, but he's just sitting here in Nashville, Tennessee, going after these corporations and they're folding instantly.

00:24:42 Speaker_00
And so it's like the Wizard of Oz when you look behind the curtain and find out, well, man, that's a little punk. That's what these guys are.

00:24:53 Speaker_00
We've, and you know, thank God for Elon Musk buying X or buying Twitter and turn it into X. Where we have now, and again, that's why I say this election process, because it ended up sweeping up Elon Musk and giving him

00:25:10 Speaker_00
more courage and giving him the energy or the resolve to make a $44 billion bet on free speech. Holy cow. That's God. And I'm not even calling Elon Musk a religious or spiritual figure.

00:25:26 Speaker_00
I don't know where he is with his faith, but I know that God uses people. to get things done that he wants done.

00:25:32 Speaker_00
And he's clearly being used, no different than President Trump is being used, to make sure that we have free speech so we can have freedom of religion.

00:25:43 Speaker_00
It's been wonderful to see, again, President Trump, yourself, Robbie Starbuck, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, all these people stand up

00:25:55 Speaker_00
and now to see other people falling and to see these corporations falling like dominoes, because we have finally said enough is enough.

00:26:06 Speaker_02
You make a really important point there that I want to emphasize. I believe that when Elon Musk purchased Twitter, it was the most significant purchase since the Louisiana Purchase, and it was met with mockery and slander.

00:26:17 Speaker_02
However, if you really think about it, what purchase actually comes close to it? Jason, can you help build out that argument and strengthen it? If we could look at a place in time, the conservative movement was largely in the wilderness.

00:26:29 Speaker_02
We were really directionless and we were trying to figure out where we're going. President Trump, of course, was still a leader of the movement, was under siege and attack and was put in exile in the law fair.

00:26:39 Speaker_02
And then all of a sudden things changed when Elon bought Twitter and changed it. Do you agree with that?

00:26:45 Speaker_00
There's no question about it. Listen, when Donald Trump started talking about fake news, fake news, fake news, fake news, I don't think Donald Trump fully understood what was the foundation of fake news. And it was Twitter.

00:27:05 Speaker_00
Twitter was where all the lies got confirmed. And so if you wanted to write in the Washington Post, go on CNN or MSNBC and say, oh boy, the police, they're just out indiscriminately killing unarmed black men as they help old ladies across the street.

00:27:27 Speaker_00
You would then go to Twitter and see a bunch of tweets saying, yeah, you're right. The police are just, they're killing black men every single day that are helping old women cross the street.

00:27:37 Speaker_00
And then the newspapers would then quote, well, on Twitter, this was, this lie was confirmed or this lie was said, and it must be the truth. And, and once Elon came in and said, nah, I'm going to take over.

00:27:52 Speaker_00
Twitter, I'm going to make these algorithms fair or eliminate these algorithms, you could no longer confirm lies on social media. And Twitter's not as popular as Facebook or Instagram, or probably even TikTok.

00:28:11 Speaker_00
But I always recognized that it was the most powerful it was the, because all the media is there, all the influencers are there, everybody that's on TV and involved in that system of control, they're all on Twitter.

00:28:27 Speaker_00
And so if you can get them all saying the same lie, uh, it would be believed and would be accepted as truth. And so, you know, you used to be able to go on Twitter and just say, well, uh, that person over there with batting balls is a woman.

00:28:43 Speaker_00
And people on Twitter were confirming, yeah, you're right. A woman is just a feeling. It's not XX chromosomes. It's a feeling. And if a man with XY and Battenball says he's a woman, yes, we must all go along with his cosplay.

00:29:00 Speaker_00
We must all confirm his mental illness. And so there's been virtually nothing as transformative as Mr. Musk purchasing Twitter, turning it into X, making it more fair in a place where truth and a true public debate can be had

00:29:23 Speaker_00
Yes, it's, it's Elon Musk and Donald Trump branded it as fake news and Elon Musk getting swept up in Trump's story and purchasing Twitter. It's, it's, it's really, it's, it's saved America.

00:29:40 Speaker_00
It's, it's, it's made it possible for guys like me and you to exist.

00:29:46 Speaker_02

00:30:56 Speaker_02
Jason, this last election saw record gains for the Republican Party with men, but not men necessarily of any specific race. All men moved in that direction. Black men, Hispanic men. Why did this happen and do you see it continuing?

00:31:11 Speaker_00
Well, it happened because uh, anytime you deny people masculinity, you make it scarce, you make it more valuable, you make it more attractive.

00:31:24 Speaker_00
And so I think many men have come into the understanding that, uh, we're in a battle of dominion and leadership and like, who's going to actually lead is, are we going to give into the matriarchy? or are we going to continue the patriarchy?

00:31:47 Speaker_00
And I think many men have come into the understanding that we have nothing to apologize for as men. The history makes sense. The things that were established in the workforce were a product of necessity.

00:32:09 Speaker_00
not of, hey, we're going to be sexist, and so we're going to go out here and blow up mountains to pave a road through the West. Women weren't saying, hey, I should be doing that. You know, men were doing that.

00:32:25 Speaker_00
Men were climbing up on top of skyscrapers and building these buildings. They were roughnecks, and many of them fell to their death or got injured. Women weren't saying, hey, I want to do that.

00:32:36 Speaker_00
Women weren't saying, you know what, I should, you know, you guys are fighting with the Indians, I should be doing that. Technology has fooled everybody into believing that women can do what men have done.

00:32:52 Speaker_00
And so now that we all have DoorDash, and no one actually has to go out and hunt if they don't want to, we've convinced ourselves that, you know what, man, if things had been right, Women would have invented air flight.

00:33:08 Speaker_00
It would have been the right sisters, not the right brothers. And it's just not true. Men, by nature, value freedom more than safety. Women, by nature, value safety more than freedom.

00:33:25 Speaker_00
We have a country that's built on freedom, and it's going to take men to protect that. And so I just think people have come into a full understanding of how we got here, that we keep softening things and leaning more into feelings.

00:33:43 Speaker_00
Well, if you feel like a woman, I'm going to have to ignore your bat and balls. That's something that only a feminized culture would buy into, that, you know, feelings control everything. At some point, data, logic, truth, facts.

00:34:04 Speaker_00
And again, this isn't me taking a dump on women because, you know, love to death. can't live without them.

00:34:12 Speaker_00
They play a super, super valuable role in society, but they are a bit more controlled by their feelings than men, and that's harmful to a culture.

00:34:24 Speaker_00
And so when you sit there and say, well, if all these illegal immigrants want to come through the border, uh, you know, I, I cannot, well, as a man, I'm like, no, man, we, we got to draw a line in the sand that there has to be rules to this house.

00:34:41 Speaker_00
Not everybody can just walk up into this house and claim that they're part owners of it. Uh, there's just tough things that men are going to have to do. And hopefully we're in the process of doing them. And, and Donald Trump has so represented

00:34:58 Speaker_00
like true male masculinity. And yes, I wish that he spoke a little better sometimes, but not really. The man got shot in the face, stood up and said, fight, fight, fight. If you can't get behind that as a man, I feel sorry for you.

00:35:19 Speaker_00
And so I just, I'll go back to the assassination attempt. It just kind of showed you who the real man was. And it exposed the Democrats and just how weak and emasculated and, in my view, violent. uh, irrationally violent that they are.

00:35:40 Speaker_00
And so I'm not surprised. And I do think the trend will continue, uh, as long as, you know, we don't get too intoxicated with our victory on November 5th and actually continue to do the work.
