00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:00.250
You know,

1
00:00:00.370 --> 00:00:00.769
there's the,

2
00:00:00.889 --> 00:00:03.150
he posts the photo of himself as Jesus.

3
00:00:04.820 --> 00:00:05.809
On Easter look at the policy that

4
00:00:05.809 --> 00:00:08.470
he's implementing for Christians and for conservatives.

5
00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:09.199
I'm not,

6
00:00:09.289 --> 00:00:09.729
I'm not,

7
00:00:09.970 --> 00:00:10.710
but I'm not,

8
00:00:10.970 --> 00:00:12.010
but I'm not disagreeing with this,

9
00:00:12.090 --> 00:00:13.039
but these are big things.

10
00:00:13.210 --> 00:00:13.550
So

11
00:00:14.420 --> 00:00:15.539
what does the picture matter?

12
00:00:15.850 --> 00:00:19.870
There's no rights anybody has lost under Trump that they didn't have before.

13
00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:22.629
A lot of things that Trump says and does

14
00:00:22.889 --> 00:00:24.709
is honestly to troll people.

15
00:00:24.930 --> 00:00:27.370
I think he gets reactions out of people.

16
00:00:28.219 --> 00:00:28.969
All right,

17
00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:29.620
um,

18
00:00:29.739 --> 00:00:32.040
I'm here with Julia Kate from

19
00:00:32.418 --> 00:00:32.979
Surrounded.

20
00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:35.680
Welcome to the follow up and thanks for being here.

21
00:00:36.060 --> 00:00:37.020
Thank you so much for

22
00:00:37.540 --> 00:00:38.040
pleasure.

23
00:00:39.380 --> 00:00:41.119
You and I were chatting before this,

24
00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:41.279
and,

25
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:43.500
and you kind of mentioned you don't have

26
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:45.490
a large internet presence,

27
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:46.779
so you wanted to

28
00:00:47.099 --> 00:00:49.419
kind of let the listeners know why you were,

29
00:00:49.639 --> 00:00:49.759
you,

30
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:50.040
you,

31
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:50.349
you,

32
00:00:50.619 --> 00:00:52.349
why you're passionate about this topic and,

33
00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:54.060
and why you wanted to be in,

34
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:55.979
in this episode of Surrounded.

35
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:56.560
Yeah,

36
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:56.840
no,

37
00:00:56.959 --> 00:00:57.520
thank you so much.

38
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:58.459
I appreciate that.

39
00:00:59.630 --> 00:01:00.159
As we're recording,

40
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:01.639
I have 0 posts on Instagram.

41
00:01:01.709 --> 00:01:02.220
I'm not

42
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.650
like a super public person.

43
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.330
I'm very passionate about these topics,

44
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.220
I guess I kind of wanted to just share like what my

45
00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:12.239
belief system is,

46
00:01:12.339 --> 00:01:14.739
I guess if someone's curious to know,

47
00:01:15.550 --> 00:01:15.750
so like,

48
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:16.519
first I'm a Christian.

49
00:01:16.559 --> 00:01:19.400
I describe myself as like a biblical born again Christian,

50
00:01:19.650 --> 00:01:23.940
and my political philosophy is more traditional constitutional conservatism,

51
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:25.239
but um.

52
00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:27.160
When people first meet me,

53
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:28.860
they usually assume that I'm from the South.

54
00:01:29.199 --> 00:01:30.580
I was homeschooled.

55
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:32.019
I grew up under a rock,

56
00:01:32.300 --> 00:01:34.699
but I actually was born and raised in LA

57
00:01:35.629 --> 00:01:36.480
at public schools,

58
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.160
and I've been surrounded by liberals my whole life,

59
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.900
many of whom are my dearly loved friends and family.

60
00:01:42.790 --> 00:01:44.120
It's like a lot of my beliefs have

61
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.739
come through just critical thinking and firsthand experience.

62
00:01:46.839 --> 00:01:49.120
What were your impressions just kind of of the episode?

63
00:01:49.330 --> 00:01:50.500
I have to say it was.

64
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.129
It was one of the more um kind of fiery ones I've seen in a while.

65
00:01:55.489 --> 00:01:55.750
Yeah,

66
00:01:55.970 --> 00:01:57.889
I feel like spicy is a good word for it.

67
00:01:58.269 --> 00:01:58.809
Spicy.

68
00:01:59.010 --> 00:01:59.470
Yeah,

69
00:02:00.059 --> 00:02:00.230
I,

70
00:02:00.290 --> 00:02:00.599
I mean,

71
00:02:00.610 --> 00:02:01.169
I loved it.

72
00:02:01.209 --> 00:02:02.209
It was exhilarating.

73
00:02:02.330 --> 00:02:06.330
I think Dean Withers had his handful with all of us ladies coming for him,

74
00:02:06.410 --> 00:02:06.790
but

75
00:02:07.169 --> 00:02:07.639
um,

76
00:02:08.050 --> 00:02:08.279
it was,

77
00:02:08.288 --> 00:02:09.449
it was an awesome experience,

78
00:02:09.490 --> 00:02:10.369
I think overall.

79
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:11.589
Yeah,

80
00:02:11.699 --> 00:02:13.240
did it make you respect him more?

81
00:02:14.139 --> 00:02:16.419
Even though I'm sure you disagree with him quite a bit,

82
00:02:16.820 --> 00:02:16.940
yeah,

83
00:02:17.059 --> 00:02:17.339
I mean,

84
00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:18.360
I think that

85
00:02:18.820 --> 00:02:20.729
like especially just like as a as a Christian,

86
00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:21.539
as an American,

87
00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:24.559
I want to respect every single person regardless of what they believe

88
00:02:25.410 --> 00:02:28.660
and so I wouldn't necessarily say it made me respect him more because I already had

89
00:02:28.899 --> 00:02:30.039
that respect for him,

90
00:02:30.419 --> 00:02:31.119
but um.

91
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:32.740
I think

92
00:02:33.279 --> 00:02:36.899
there was a lot of points that I wish that I could have engaged with

93
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.369
that I just didn't get the chance to because I think there were so many of us.

94
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.869
So I was hoping maybe I could kind of like talk about some of the things that came up.

95
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:44.710
Up until

96
00:02:45.399 --> 00:02:47.320
the point that you showed up.

97
00:02:49.050 --> 00:02:52.110
I felt like Dean pretty much had um.

98
00:02:54.029 --> 00:02:55.699
He was not really on his heels at all.

99
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:55.940
I,

100
00:02:56.020 --> 00:02:57.740
I feel like it wasn't until maybe you start,

101
00:02:57.830 --> 00:02:59.889
you debated him on this prompt that he,

102
00:02:59.899 --> 00:03:00.320
uh,

103
00:03:00.699 --> 00:03:02.520
got some pushback that really,

104
00:03:02.580 --> 00:03:03.089
um,

105
00:03:03.100 --> 00:03:04.710
made him use some of his.

106
00:03:05.449 --> 00:03:07.130
Other debating tactics,

107
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:07.539
um,

108
00:03:07.690 --> 00:03:08.410
which I think was good.

109
00:03:08.449 --> 00:03:09.410
It showed that you,

110
00:03:09.570 --> 00:03:10.369
you were bringing up,

111
00:03:10.410 --> 00:03:10.690
I think,

112
00:03:10.770 --> 00:03:11.690
some good points.

113
00:03:12.050 --> 00:03:14.449
And so one of the first things you did bring up was

114
00:03:14.449 --> 00:03:18.789
just kind of like how men are more inclined to pursue different roles

115
00:03:19.089 --> 00:03:19.610
than women.

116
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:20.190
Men,

117
00:03:20.449 --> 00:03:21.800
I can't remember how you phrased it,

118
00:03:21.809 --> 00:03:22.330
but you said,

119
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:22.679
you know,

120
00:03:22.750 --> 00:03:24.029
men seek out,

121
00:03:24.210 --> 00:03:24.589
um,

122
00:03:24.610 --> 00:03:26.429
more like provisional roles,

123
00:03:26.710 --> 00:03:27.399
um,

124
00:03:27.770 --> 00:03:30.809
whereas women are more inclined to be caretakers,

125
00:03:30.929 --> 00:03:31.789
things like that,

126
00:03:32.130 --> 00:03:32.679
um.

127
00:03:33.809 --> 00:03:35.539
What have you always felt this way and,

128
00:03:35.660 --> 00:03:36.070
and

129
00:03:36.270 --> 00:03:39.350
did you also feel like you were getting Dean on his heels?

130
00:03:39.789 --> 00:03:42.929
I did because he resorted to calling me crazy and insane,

131
00:03:42.990 --> 00:03:44.470
which if you know anything about debate,

132
00:03:44.509 --> 00:03:45.509
that's an ad hominem,

133
00:03:45.710 --> 00:03:46.910
which is a logical fallacy.

134
00:03:46.990 --> 00:03:47.470
So I knew,

135
00:03:47.589 --> 00:03:49.029
I knew he was flustered.

136
00:03:49.899 --> 00:03:50.639
Um,

137
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:51.320
it was,

138
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:52.899
it was a compliment in my book though.

139
00:03:53.279 --> 00:03:53.820
Um,

140
00:03:54.279 --> 00:03:54.479
yeah,

141
00:03:54.559 --> 00:03:54.839
I mean,

142
00:03:54.880 --> 00:03:59.190
I think that there have been historical trends between men and women from I,

143
00:03:59.279 --> 00:04:02.100
I think I mentioned like hunter gatherers,

144
00:04:02.399 --> 00:04:04.220
but even just to like where you see

145
00:04:04.679 --> 00:04:07.240
male influencers tend towards or female influencers.

146
00:04:07.494 --> 00:04:08.205
tend towards.

147
00:04:09.345 --> 00:04:09.505
But

148
00:04:09.705 --> 00:04:11.585
in today's society in America,

149
00:04:11.705 --> 00:04:15.455
we have all the same rights and legal freedoms as men.

150
00:04:16.845 --> 00:04:20.613
And still there's only 15% of female surgeons like Dean mentioned,

151
00:04:20.625 --> 00:04:21.654
and 85% are male,

152
00:04:21.704 --> 00:04:22.015
but it's,

153
00:04:22.024 --> 00:04:23.484
I don't think that's because of

154
00:04:24.584 --> 00:04:27.984
some sort of cultural limitation or legal barrier.

155
00:04:28.024 --> 00:04:30.165
I think it's because we tend to like

156
00:04:30.304 --> 00:04:32.005
things that are more in line with nurturing,

157
00:04:32.015 --> 00:04:33.024
caretaking and men.

158
00:04:33.529 --> 00:04:36.609
tend to like super intense high risk situations,

159
00:04:36.649 --> 00:04:38.489
but there's obviously exceptions.

160
00:04:38.850 --> 00:04:39.130
Um,

161
00:04:39.239 --> 00:04:39.929
I just think

162
00:04:40.170 --> 00:04:41.109
the norm is

163
00:04:41.329 --> 00:04:42.209
there for a reason.

164
00:04:43.149 --> 00:04:43.160
Uh,

165
00:04:44.309 --> 00:04:46.239
and you asked if I'd always thought this way.

166
00:04:46.470 --> 00:04:47.230
I think

167
00:04:47.470 --> 00:04:48.609
I didn't really

168
00:04:48.790 --> 00:04:49.350
think about it.

169
00:04:49.420 --> 00:04:50.089
And then

170
00:04:50.510 --> 00:04:51.100
growing up,

171
00:04:51.109 --> 00:04:52.369
I sort of just

172
00:04:52.790 --> 00:04:53.809
thought critically through,

173
00:04:53.950 --> 00:04:54.390
um,

174
00:04:54.709 --> 00:04:55.279
different things.

175
00:04:55.350 --> 00:04:55.850
I don't know.

176
00:04:56.070 --> 00:04:56.700
Um,

177
00:04:56.790 --> 00:04:57.070
well,

178
00:04:57.470 --> 00:04:58.489
I want to kind of,

179
00:04:59.589 --> 00:05:01.679
so when Dean calls you crazy,

180
00:05:01.910 --> 00:05:03.149
he's like this girl's crazy.

181
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:04.000
I,

182
00:05:04.200 --> 00:05:06.070
I think it was right after you had said,

183
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:06.670
um,

184
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:07.079
you know,

185
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:08.959
we need more alpha males

186
00:05:10.359 --> 00:05:11.579
you list Donald Trump,

187
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:12.799
you list,

188
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:13.359
um,

189
00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:16.019
Spencer Pratt doesn't look like Spencer's gonna.

190
00:05:17.200 --> 00:05:18.600
Make it as mayor of LA.

191
00:05:18.799 --> 00:05:20.440
I'm sure that's disappointing for you,

192
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:22.500
but he certainly made a splash,

193
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:23.989
um,

194
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:25.440
but yeah,

195
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:26.679
so what,

196
00:05:26.760 --> 00:05:27.380
what makes.

197
00:05:28.459 --> 00:05:32.929
What makes a man an alpha male and a good and a good leader in your mind and why,

198
00:05:32.980 --> 00:05:33.839
why do those guys

199
00:05:34.769 --> 00:05:36.010
fit that label for you?

200
00:05:36.260 --> 00:05:36.720
Yeah,

201
00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:39.399
I think for instance with Donald Trump is

202
00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:42.660
you're never going to make him go cry in the mirror because you called him in.

203
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.320
He's the kind of man that is gonna

204
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.690
objectively care about the results of his work.

205
00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:51.619
I think the left has tried to use all sorts of tactics

206
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:52.220
to

207
00:05:52.359 --> 00:05:55.820
dismantle him or make people fearful or use cancel culture,

208
00:05:56.320 --> 00:05:58.700
but it doesn't work because he gets the job done.

209
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:00.200
He perseveres through that,

210
00:06:00.239 --> 00:06:01.779
and I think someone like Spencer.

211
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.679
Who was in was in Hollywood was surrounded by elites,

212
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:07.739
yet he still chose to speak out

213
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.380
and not care about

214
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:10.339
breaking

215
00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:11.450
the glass you know he,

216
00:06:11.559 --> 00:06:14.160
he wanted to speak out for the truth

217
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.660
what it means to be a good leader is,

218
00:06:16.670 --> 00:06:17.119
is

219
00:06:17.660 --> 00:06:18.459
to be a shield.

220
00:06:18.760 --> 00:06:20.220
You mentioned Donald Trump,

221
00:06:20.470 --> 00:06:20.600
you know,

222
00:06:20.679 --> 00:06:21.899
he perseveres.

223
00:06:22.640 --> 00:06:23.059
That's

224
00:06:23.200 --> 00:06:23.880
definitely true.

225
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:25.119
I think that's objectively true.

226
00:06:25.260 --> 00:06:25.880
Everyone would,

227
00:06:26.119 --> 00:06:26.470
would,

228
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:27.070
uh,

229
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:28.000
agree with that.

230
00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:28.779
The

231
00:06:29.230 --> 00:06:30.100
best example

232
00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:31.459
certainly is.

233
00:06:32.170 --> 00:06:33.829
The assassination attempt

234
00:06:34.049 --> 00:06:36.149
and sort of that iconic moment,

235
00:06:36.570 --> 00:06:37.190
um.

236
00:06:38.119 --> 00:06:42.260
When he stands up and sort of raises his fist with the blood coming from his ear,

237
00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:43.859
powerful image.

238
00:06:45.190 --> 00:06:45.510
So I,

239
00:06:45.570 --> 00:06:46.279
I get that.

240
00:06:47.390 --> 00:06:51.369
But a similarity between Spencer Pratt and Trump

241
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.480
is that they're both media personalities,

242
00:06:53.649 --> 00:06:55.980
so they're kind of expert communicators through

243
00:06:56.760 --> 00:06:57.309
um

244
00:06:57.679 --> 00:06:58.279
media.

245
00:06:58.910 --> 00:06:59.589
Um,

246
00:07:00.690 --> 00:07:01.769
Something that came up,

247
00:07:01.929 --> 00:07:04.750
so the next clip I kind of want to refer to.

248
00:07:05.250 --> 00:07:07.369
So this is kind of building off of this idea

249
00:07:07.369 --> 00:07:09.399
of like how do you understand a man's character,

250
00:07:09.410 --> 00:07:10.869
and so Dean's prompt was

251
00:07:11.130 --> 00:07:12.869
Trump is a sexual predator.

252
00:07:14.230 --> 00:07:16.779
And he plays a clip

253
00:07:17.200 --> 00:07:18.470
for Shiva on his phone.

254
00:07:18.670 --> 00:07:19.920
Do you remember this moment?

255
00:07:21.049 --> 00:07:21.359
Um,

256
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:22.399
I think I do,

257
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.140
and I remember being a bit

258
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.839
dumbfounded because I listened to the thing he played

259
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.179
and I didn't see it connecting to his point.

260
00:07:30.559 --> 00:07:30.820
Yeah,

261
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:31.440
there's a,

262
00:07:31.559 --> 00:07:33.299
you'll see when you watch the footage,

263
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:34.500
there's a,

264
00:07:34.679 --> 00:07:36.899
you're listening to it and you're kind of shaking your head.

265
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.359
Would you like me to take it away by explaining to

266
00:07:39.359 --> 00:07:42.339
you why I think Donald Trump is a misogynistic sexual predator?

267
00:07:42.679 --> 00:07:43.420
First and foremost,

268
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.279
he's a sexual predator because the court has held him simply liable

269
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.720
for being a woman by the name of Eu Jean Carroll.

270
00:07:48.799 --> 00:07:49.160
Of course,

271
00:07:49.359 --> 00:07:51.829
being somebody is something that would make a sexual predator.

272
00:07:52.070 --> 00:07:52.910
In 2005,

273
00:07:52.950 --> 00:07:55.510
he also boasted about engaging in sexual violence

274
00:07:55.510 --> 00:07:58.579
by sexually exploiting beauty pageant contestants at the beauty

275
00:07:58.579 --> 00:08:00.589
pageants that he owned by barging into their

276
00:08:00.589 --> 00:08:02.450
dressing rooms and looking at their naked bodies.

277
00:08:02.589 --> 00:08:05.470
And this isn't an allegation from some woman that you

278
00:08:05.470 --> 00:08:07.429
could defame and say just wants money or fame.

279
00:08:07.709 --> 00:08:07.959
No,

280
00:08:08.149 --> 00:08:09.540
this was an admittance of guilt,

281
00:08:09.630 --> 00:08:11.190
something that Donald Trump said he did.

282
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.010
on Howard Stern's radio show,

283
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:14.359
and I see you shaking your head.

284
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:15.619
I'll happily play you the clip if you want.

285
00:08:16.100 --> 00:08:16.549
And we also see,

286
00:08:16.640 --> 00:08:16.809
please,

287
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.480
please show me the clip because I do not believe it.

288
00:08:19.559 --> 00:08:19.739
Yes,

289
00:08:19.880 --> 00:08:20.359
take it out.

290
00:08:20.559 --> 00:08:20.869
Don't worry,

291
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:21.679
I got it preloaded.

292
00:08:21.859 --> 00:08:22.119
OK,

293
00:08:22.200 --> 00:08:22.540
good.

294
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:23.049
So,

295
00:08:23.200 --> 00:08:23.989
so you have done that.

296
00:08:24.640 --> 00:08:27.500
I'll tell you the funniest is that I'll go backstage before a show,

297
00:08:27.760 --> 00:08:30.070
and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else,

298
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:30.480
and you know,

299
00:08:30.559 --> 00:08:31.429
no men are.

300
00:08:32.020 --> 00:08:33.539
And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the

301
00:08:33.539 --> 00:08:35.500
owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it,

302
00:08:35.619 --> 00:08:35.739
you know,

303
00:08:35.780 --> 00:08:36.380
I'm inspecting.

304
00:08:36.419 --> 00:08:38.450
I want to make sure that's good if you're there,

305
00:08:38.659 --> 00:08:38.989
the dress.

306
00:08:39.099 --> 00:08:39.900
Is everyone OK?

307
00:08:39.979 --> 00:08:40.140
You know,

308
00:08:40.260 --> 00:08:41.380
they standing there with no clothes.

309
00:08:41.570 --> 00:08:42.450
Is everybody OK?

310
00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:44.599
And you see these incredible looking women

311
00:08:45.020 --> 00:08:46.739
and so I sort of get away with things like that.

312
00:08:46.900 --> 00:08:47.580
Why don't we start there?

313
00:08:47.700 --> 00:08:48.400
Mike's yours.

314
00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:48.919
OK.

315
00:08:49.434 --> 00:08:51.094
He said that he probably sees them.

316
00:08:51.294 --> 00:08:51.304
I,

317
00:08:51.335 --> 00:08:52.655
it doesn't say they're naked there,

318
00:08:52.775 --> 00:08:53.284
so I,

319
00:08:53.614 --> 00:08:54.145
they might have.

320
00:08:54.375 --> 00:08:54.455
No,

321
00:08:54.494 --> 00:08:54.934
it doesn't.

322
00:08:55.085 --> 00:08:56.094
He said that they have no clothes on.

323
00:08:56.164 --> 00:08:56.815
When you have no clothes on,

324
00:08:56.854 --> 00:08:57.125
you're naked.

325
00:08:57.734 --> 00:08:58.414
So that clip,

326
00:08:58.494 --> 00:09:01.775
it's kind of Donald Trump bragging about having access to women.

327
00:09:02.065 --> 00:09:02.075
Uh,

328
00:09:02.184 --> 00:09:04.525
I think it is a beauty pageant,

329
00:09:04.534 --> 00:09:05.974
like walking backstage.

330
00:09:06.375 --> 00:09:08.645
The women are barely dressed or they don't have their clothes on,

331
00:09:08.674 --> 00:09:10.195
and he's sort of bragging about

332
00:09:10.734 --> 00:09:11.125
how it's,

333
00:09:11.174 --> 00:09:13.215
it's cool that he has this access.

334
00:09:13.880 --> 00:09:15.640
You've also probably heard the,

335
00:09:15.729 --> 00:09:16.380
the

336
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.239
notorious tape where he talks about grabbing women by the genitals.

337
00:09:20.359 --> 00:09:20.780
So,

338
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:21.510
you know,

339
00:09:21.599 --> 00:09:24.280
we know this about Donald Trump's history,

340
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.940
we kind of know this is an aspect of his

341
00:09:27.400 --> 00:09:28.460
character.

342
00:09:29.280 --> 00:09:30.080
There's the

343
00:09:30.349 --> 00:09:31.830
Stormy Daniels,

344
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:32.219
uh,

345
00:09:32.239 --> 00:09:33.280
kind of scandal.

346
00:09:33.520 --> 00:09:33.929
So

347
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.619
it's no secret that Trump has.

348
00:09:36.770 --> 00:09:38.049
Been an adulterer.

349
00:09:38.940 --> 00:09:42.960
And has some questionable behavior in in that part of his life.

350
00:09:43.989 --> 00:09:45.559
What is your opinion

351
00:09:46.270 --> 00:09:50.390
on Donald Trump based on like what you know to be fully true and not

352
00:09:51.109 --> 00:09:52.630
hearsay or.

353
00:09:53.630 --> 00:09:53.809
Alleged.

354
00:09:54.869 --> 00:09:55.190
Yeah,

355
00:09:55.349 --> 00:09:55.549
I mean,

356
00:09:55.630 --> 00:09:59.250
there's definitely a lot of alleged material out there about Trump.

357
00:10:00.030 --> 00:10:00.479
Unfortunately,

358
00:10:00.520 --> 00:10:02.809
that's what sticks more in people's minds because

359
00:10:03.109 --> 00:10:05.890
I think it was even on CNN where they said he

360
00:10:06.150 --> 00:10:08.210
lost the case and was found to be a rapist,

361
00:10:08.429 --> 00:10:10.770
but it was actually he lost in

362
00:10:11.539 --> 00:10:12.549
a defamation case,

363
00:10:12.669 --> 00:10:12.940
not

364
00:10:13.539 --> 00:10:15.250
showing that he had committed that crime.

365
00:10:15.669 --> 00:10:17.909
But then nobody really listens to retractions.

366
00:10:18.950 --> 00:10:19.450
I

367
00:10:19.630 --> 00:10:22.789
do not think there is one single perfect person on this earth.

368
00:10:22.869 --> 00:10:24.530
The only one was Jesus Christ.

369
00:10:25.349 --> 00:10:26.830
And when electing a president,

370
00:10:26.909 --> 00:10:28.900
I'm not electing a pastor.

371
00:10:29.309 --> 00:10:30.500
So it's very different.

372
00:10:30.789 --> 00:10:33.909
Like if I'm going to be thinking about a brain surgeon,

373
00:10:33.989 --> 00:10:36.989
I'm not going to be necessarily scrutinizing every part of their life.

374
00:10:37.070 --> 00:10:37.969
I'm going to scrutinize,

375
00:10:38.549 --> 00:10:42.150
do they know how to surgically operate upon a brain and have they.

376
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:43.539
So

377
00:10:44.280 --> 00:10:46.239
I'm not here to to justify everything,

378
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:47.659
but I also think that

379
00:10:48.479 --> 00:10:50.900
you cannot find a single person

380
00:10:51.179 --> 00:10:52.440
with a spotless record,

381
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:53.299
um,

382
00:10:53.760 --> 00:10:57.159
and I look more about what he's done when he's been in office.

383
00:10:57.359 --> 00:10:59.659
So he wasn't in office during those times,

384
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:00.200
and

385
00:11:00.479 --> 00:11:00.960
I don't,

386
00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:02.619
I think that if there were

387
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:04.380
real actual.

388
00:11:05.179 --> 00:11:06.159
Evidence to

389
00:11:06.369 --> 00:11:07.440
put him in prison,

390
00:11:07.659 --> 00:11:09.960
it would have been done because the left has tried

391
00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:13.900
every angle to get that man out of office and it hasn't worked because he,

392
00:11:14.020 --> 00:11:15.559
I don't believe he's guilty

393
00:11:16.619 --> 00:11:19.250
because in America we are innocent until proven guilty and

394
00:11:19.250 --> 00:11:20.940
he has not been proven guilty in the queer law.

395
00:11:21.669 --> 00:11:22.289
Mhm

396
00:11:23.219 --> 00:11:23.380
Right,

397
00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:23.950
right.

398
00:11:24.739 --> 00:11:27.140
But does he strike you as kind of like a?

399
00:11:29.190 --> 00:11:31.159
A man with with like

400
00:11:31.929 --> 00:11:33.359
Christ-like character,

401
00:11:33.460 --> 00:11:34.130
um.

402
00:11:35.090 --> 00:11:35.590
Cause I,

403
00:11:35.830 --> 00:11:36.169
yeah,

404
00:11:36.289 --> 00:11:36.969
I mean.

405
00:11:37.729 --> 00:11:39.219
I can't think of any president.

406
00:11:40.669 --> 00:11:41.190
And we didn't,

407
00:11:41.270 --> 00:11:42.950
we don't know everything about the lives of,

408
00:11:43.059 --> 00:11:46.450
of past presidents because people used to keep things much more hush-hush,

409
00:11:47.789 --> 00:11:51.330
but I can't think of a president in modern history who has had as many

410
00:11:52.229 --> 00:11:53.289
marital.

411
00:11:55.330 --> 00:11:57.000
Scandals circling them,

412
00:11:57.169 --> 00:11:57.409
you know,

413
00:11:57.570 --> 00:11:58.130
and so it's,

414
00:11:58.210 --> 00:12:00.190
I guess it's just an odd pairing for.

415
00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:04.289
A president with kind of.

416
00:12:04.989 --> 00:12:07.750
A sexual history like Trump to be.

417
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.960
Held up as as a great leader by by Christians.

418
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:12.429
It's sort of,

419
00:12:12.479 --> 00:12:13.900
isn't it an odd fit?

420
00:12:14.239 --> 00:12:14.440
Well,

421
00:12:14.520 --> 00:12:15.869
I think we should talk about the facts.

422
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:17.659
What has Trump done for Christians?

423
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:19.599
I think one of the biggest things he's done

424
00:12:19.599 --> 00:12:22.159
for Christians and conservatives is he is the one

425
00:12:22.359 --> 00:12:25.419
who appointed 3 conservative judges to the Supreme Court

426
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.280
and can be credited for the overturn of Roe v.

427
00:12:28.359 --> 00:12:29.359
Wade and the Dobbs decision.

428
00:12:30.119 --> 00:12:30.479
Um,

429
00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:31.409
what else he has done?

430
00:12:31.460 --> 00:12:33.239
I'm just going to talk about in his current

431
00:12:33.460 --> 00:12:34.349
presidency.

432
00:12:34.659 --> 00:12:35.630
He has,

433
00:12:35.640 --> 00:12:36.059
um,

434
00:12:36.619 --> 00:12:37.200
protected

435
00:12:37.530 --> 00:12:39.500
Christians in the medical field that have been

436
00:12:39.859 --> 00:12:43.960
forced to choose between their own convictions and their medical licenses.

437
00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:45.020
You can look,

438
00:12:45.099 --> 00:12:48.619
there's like a specific act within the HHS that he did recently.

439
00:12:49.020 --> 00:12:50.280
There's also um

440
00:12:50.849 --> 00:12:55.270
An initiative he did in college campuses where he with public schools,

441
00:12:55.369 --> 00:12:59.549
he'll withhold funding if they are discriminating against or Christians.

442
00:13:00.349 --> 00:13:00.530
Um,

443
00:13:01.010 --> 00:13:01.280
I mean,

444
00:13:01.330 --> 00:13:02.049
I could go on and on.

445
00:13:02.090 --> 00:13:04.690
There's an act where he did for Christian charities.

446
00:13:05.690 --> 00:13:09.010
So that they're able to get government funding to continue like soup kitchens,

447
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:10.109
orphanages,

448
00:13:10.989 --> 00:13:13.030
like adoption agencies type of things

449
00:13:13.650 --> 00:13:14.950
that they don't have to

450
00:13:15.729 --> 00:13:17.489
be stripped of their religious identity,

451
00:13:17.570 --> 00:13:19.590
which was the case under the Obama

452
00:13:20.330 --> 00:13:21.840
administration and the HHS.

453
00:13:22.409 --> 00:13:25.489
So he has not just paid lip service to Christians,

454
00:13:25.570 --> 00:13:26.190
he's done

455
00:13:26.729 --> 00:13:27.669
real things,

456
00:13:27.700 --> 00:13:27.809
um,

457
00:13:28.650 --> 00:13:28.809
to,

458
00:13:28.940 --> 00:13:30.489
to benefit us in this country.

459
00:13:30.809 --> 00:13:31.669
He's also,

460
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:32.200
um,

461
00:13:33.380 --> 00:13:33.659
Yeah,

462
00:13:33.780 --> 00:13:34.320
he's

463
00:13:34.580 --> 00:13:35.289
done like

464
00:13:35.619 --> 00:13:36.619
the national prayer thing.

465
00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:39.380
I think objectively he is the most pro-life president.

466
00:13:40.450 --> 00:13:43.419
And so I don't see why a Christian wouldn't support him.

467
00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:44.840
But

468
00:13:45.119 --> 00:13:45.440
I think,

469
00:13:45.520 --> 00:13:45.760
yeah,

470
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:46.479
you know,

471
00:13:47.059 --> 00:13:49.179
there are imperfect people everywhere,

472
00:13:49.880 --> 00:13:52.760
but I trust Trump and I know that he's someone who will go

473
00:13:52.760 --> 00:13:55.640
in and fight and isn't going to be fear mongered or bought.

474
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.640
And I think that he is good in disputes with the Middle East and being able to

475
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.140
Interact with foreign adversaries

476
00:14:03.359 --> 00:14:06.659
and to keep us ultimately safe because what matters most to me

477
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.080
is a safe America for families and I think

478
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.859
a safe America is one in which we have borders

479
00:14:12.119 --> 00:14:14.099
and Trump has done a lot to keep,

480
00:14:14.520 --> 00:14:15.119
for first off,

481
00:14:15.239 --> 00:14:15.940
he has

482
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.219
been the president to make the Mexican cartels considered

483
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.619
a terrorist organization so we can prevent bringing in fentanyl and foreign drugs,

484
00:14:24.099 --> 00:14:24.109
um,

485
00:14:24.130 --> 00:14:24.510
which is,

486
00:14:24.520 --> 00:14:24.679
you know,

487
00:14:24.760 --> 00:14:25.750
very close to my heart.

488
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:26.000
And,

489
00:14:26.190 --> 00:14:28.940
and I guess that's that would be my next question is.

490
00:14:29.619 --> 00:14:35.359
Is Donald Trump the best fit for a conservative Christian like you

491
00:14:35.780 --> 00:14:38.479
in a world where there's just so few options?

492
00:14:38.859 --> 00:14:40.719
Is that kind of what it is?

493
00:14:40.809 --> 00:14:41.479
Um,

494
00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:43.260
I'm gonna keep,

495
00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:44.940
I'm gonna keep hammering on this.

496
00:14:45.020 --> 00:14:45.700
I'm sorry,

497
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.820
but there's just so much,

498
00:14:46.940 --> 00:14:48.000
there's so much fuel.

499
00:14:48.140 --> 00:14:49.849
So like Donald Trump posted this,

500
00:14:49.979 --> 00:14:50.719
this photo.

501
00:14:51.760 --> 00:14:52.239
Um,

502
00:14:52.359 --> 00:14:55.340
or it was like an AI generated image of himself,

503
00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.229
basically kind of appearing like Christ,

504
00:14:58.239 --> 00:14:58.820
and he was,

505
00:14:58.830 --> 00:14:59.549
um.

506
00:15:00.270 --> 00:15:00.429
You know,

507
00:15:00.510 --> 00:15:02.890
laying hands on like kind of a sick man and

508
00:15:03.390 --> 00:15:06.609
did you see this image that was circulating and I did see this image

509
00:15:06.830 --> 00:15:08.049
and the thing is like

510
00:15:08.830 --> 00:15:09.270
Trump

511
00:15:09.390 --> 00:15:10.179
is blunt.

512
00:15:10.270 --> 00:15:12.869
He is not a refined polished politician.

513
00:15:12.909 --> 00:15:13.489
He's not

514
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.710
all pretty covered in bows and everything he says is like.

515
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:17.840
The greatest,

516
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:19.159
most prettiest line you've ever heard.

517
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:21.119
He is someone that we've known.

518
00:15:21.239 --> 00:15:22.200
He's used Twitter.

519
00:15:22.299 --> 00:15:23.500
He does these kinds of things.

520
00:15:23.780 --> 00:15:25.239
I don't find it offensive,

521
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:26.830
but I will say that

522
00:15:27.119 --> 00:15:27.580
he

523
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.440
stumbled around it and was apologized after because

524
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:32.599
he didn't quite know even what the posts

525
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:33.450
reflected.

526
00:15:33.609 --> 00:15:34.229
Did he apologize?

527
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:35.780
He did

528
00:15:36.419 --> 00:15:36.429
actually,

529
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:37.460
and he said that

530
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:38.599
he thought it was,

531
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.280
I think like showing him as a healer,

532
00:15:40.349 --> 00:15:41.359
as like a medical doctor,

533
00:15:41.479 --> 00:15:42.900
not as Christ.

534
00:15:44.690 --> 00:15:45.650
And so was that,

535
00:15:45.719 --> 00:15:49.159
was that an apology or did he just explain sort of what he thought?

536
00:15:49.460 --> 00:15:49.619
Well,

537
00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:52.099
I think what he's saying is that was not my intention.

538
00:15:52.140 --> 00:15:53.169
And if that was,

539
00:15:53.539 --> 00:15:54.580
that wouldn't be right.

540
00:15:54.659 --> 00:15:56.659
But he's saying that's not what I was doing.

541
00:15:56.770 --> 00:15:58.679
And then he took off the posting.

542
00:15:59.299 --> 00:15:59.549
Right.

543
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:00.099
But then,

544
00:16:01.489 --> 00:16:01.690
OK,

545
00:16:01.770 --> 00:16:02.239
I'm just gonna keep going.

546
00:16:03.729 --> 00:16:03.849
I'm sorry.

547
00:16:03.859 --> 00:16:03.869
I,

548
00:16:03.929 --> 00:16:08.109
I think that's what makes Trump is so likable and why he's won because he's,

549
00:16:08.169 --> 00:16:09.030
he's not

550
00:16:09.289 --> 00:16:10.630
this like cookie cut,

551
00:16:10.929 --> 00:16:11.090
um,

552
00:16:11.650 --> 00:16:12.530
leftist politician,

553
00:16:12.570 --> 00:16:13.049
I'd say.

554
00:16:13.109 --> 00:16:15.390
I totally understand why he's likable

555
00:16:15.929 --> 00:16:16.760
and Julia,

556
00:16:16.849 --> 00:16:17.049
Kate,

557
00:16:17.169 --> 00:16:17.400
I,

558
00:16:17.489 --> 00:16:17.789
I,

559
00:16:17.929 --> 00:16:19.090
I don't mean to pin you down.

560
00:16:19.169 --> 00:16:20.190
There's just Trump is,

561
00:16:20.489 --> 00:16:21.570
he's such a phenomenon.

562
00:16:21.650 --> 00:16:23.390
There's so much we have to talk about.

563
00:16:23.739 --> 00:16:24.109
Um,

564
00:16:24.690 --> 00:16:26.409
my parents are big Trump lovers,

565
00:16:26.489 --> 00:16:28.549
so this is a conversation I have many times.

566
00:16:29.729 --> 00:16:30.020
OK,

567
00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:30.559
so

568
00:16:30.669 --> 00:16:32.219
I agree with you.

569
00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:34.359
Trump is charismatic.

570
00:16:34.880 --> 00:16:36.020
The guy has riz.

571
00:16:36.460 --> 00:16:38.000
The guy gets media.

572
00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:39.619
What I'm trying,

573
00:16:39.940 --> 00:16:42.929
where it becomes a square peg round hole for me though,

574
00:16:43.010 --> 00:16:44.760
is the Christian values thing

575
00:16:45.179 --> 00:16:45.679
because

576
00:16:46.590 --> 00:16:46.760
You know,

577
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:47.309
there's the,

578
00:16:47.400 --> 00:16:49.640
he posts the photo of himself as Jesus.

579
00:16:50.979 --> 00:16:52.320
On Easter morning at the policy that

580
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.950
he's implementing for Christians and for conservatives.

581
00:16:55.380 --> 00:16:55.679
I'm not,

582
00:16:55.760 --> 00:16:56.229
I'm not,

583
00:16:56.469 --> 00:16:57.080
but I'm not,

584
00:16:57.479 --> 00:16:58.510
but I'm not disagreeing with this,

585
00:16:58.599 --> 00:16:59.619
but these are big things.

586
00:16:59.719 --> 00:17:00.080
So

587
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:00.799
but then what,

588
00:17:00.809 --> 00:17:02.099
what does the picture matter?

589
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:03.799
Oh well,

590
00:17:03.909 --> 00:17:04.118
OK,

591
00:17:04.239 --> 00:17:04.880
so let me say,

592
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:05.550
so

593
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:07.880
he posts an image of himself as,

594
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:08.910
as Jesus,

595
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.040
but I don't think on Easter morning,

596
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:12.260
on Easter morning.

597
00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:14.910
I don't was it actually on Easter morning that he posted that?

598
00:17:14.969 --> 00:17:15.079
No,

599
00:17:15.140 --> 00:17:15.199
no,

600
00:17:15.239 --> 00:17:15.319
no,

601
00:17:15.430 --> 00:17:15.520
no,

602
00:17:15.598 --> 00:17:16.630
this is a separate thing.

603
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:18.390
Let me just list a few things.

604
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:18.750
Well,

605
00:17:18.959 --> 00:17:20.739
because then it's a conflation because

606
00:17:20.959 --> 00:17:23.910
he's not actually posting himself as Christ if he takes it off and says,

607
00:17:23.959 --> 00:17:24.108
oh,

608
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:25.670
I thought that was posting me as a healer,

609
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:25.949
as a,

610
00:17:26.010 --> 00:17:26.858
as a doctor.

611
00:17:27.930 --> 00:17:28.800
So did you look at that image?

612
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:29.939
Was it ambiguous?

613
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:31.010
Yeah,

614
00:17:31.099 --> 00:17:32.119
maybe it was ambiguous.

615
00:17:32.170 --> 00:17:33.069
I'm just saying that

616
00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:33.469
it's

617
00:17:34.910 --> 00:17:34.920
anybody

618
00:17:35.410 --> 00:17:36.760
that hates Trump is going to try to

619
00:17:37.250 --> 00:17:37.890
do anything,

620
00:17:37.969 --> 00:17:39.709
but it doesn't matter when you look at the,

621
00:17:39.719 --> 00:17:40.569
but I'm not trying,

622
00:17:40.800 --> 00:17:42.160
I'm not trying to hate Trump here

623
00:17:43.560 --> 00:17:44.410
because the man,

624
00:17:44.689 --> 00:17:45.270
the man,

625
00:17:45.369 --> 00:17:46.709
the man is um.

626
00:17:47.760 --> 00:17:47.959
I,

627
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:48.599
I just,

628
00:17:48.770 --> 00:17:51.459
I haven't had an opportunity to speak to somebody like yourself

629
00:17:51.719 --> 00:17:51.949
and,

630
00:17:52.040 --> 00:17:53.680
and kind of dig into some of these things,

631
00:17:53.800 --> 00:17:54.180
so.

632
00:17:57.300 --> 00:17:58.329
On Easter morning,

633
00:17:58.420 --> 00:18:01.130
he threatens to end an entire civilization.

634
00:18:01.380 --> 00:18:03.079
This is the tweet about Iran.

635
00:18:03.250 --> 00:18:04.680
It was kind of a threat,

636
00:18:05.060 --> 00:18:05.540
but you know,

637
00:18:05.739 --> 00:18:08.079
essentially he was threatening genocide

638
00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:09.630
on Easter morning,

639
00:18:09.859 --> 00:18:10.359
and this

640
00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:11.660
really irritated,

641
00:18:11.790 --> 00:18:11.920
you know,

642
00:18:12.060 --> 00:18:13.260
like Tucker Carlson.

643
00:18:13.339 --> 00:18:14.020
He called this out,

644
00:18:14.130 --> 00:18:14.709
thought it was

645
00:18:14.939 --> 00:18:16.420
incredibly distasteful.

646
00:18:16.699 --> 00:18:18.319
I think he even said it was evil.

647
00:18:19.280 --> 00:18:20.479
Earlier this year,

648
00:18:20.709 --> 00:18:20.849
uh,

649
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:21.900
one of Donald Trump's

650
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:24.479
sons posted plans for kind of the,

651
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:25.560
the Donald Trump,

652
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:25.949
I think,

653
00:18:25.959 --> 00:18:27.130
National Library,

654
00:18:27.479 --> 00:18:29.780
and it included like an image of

655
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:30.859
Trump

656
00:18:31.390 --> 00:18:33.959
as in the form of like a golden statue

657
00:18:34.209 --> 00:18:34.469
in,

658
00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:36.699
in one of like the auditoriums in the building.

659
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.459
There's literally a golden statue somewhere on a golf course

660
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.359
that was unveiled earlier this year and Donald Trump called in on the phone and.

661
00:18:44.810 --> 00:18:45.650
And told the,

662
00:18:45.729 --> 00:18:45.839
the,

663
00:18:45.890 --> 00:18:48.089
I think it was like a pastor who was blessing it that,

664
00:18:48.239 --> 00:18:48.369
you know,

665
00:18:48.410 --> 00:18:49.729
he loved the statue and,

666
00:18:49.810 --> 00:18:50.819
and was approving it.

667
00:18:51.329 --> 00:18:52.939
And so can I comment on,

668
00:18:53.040 --> 00:18:53.520
on the point,

669
00:18:53.609 --> 00:18:53.770
but,

670
00:18:53.819 --> 00:18:54.689
but how is,

671
00:18:54.810 --> 00:18:56.329
how are those things not.

672
00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:58.479
Like how does all of that not.

673
00:18:59.540 --> 00:19:01.010
Equate into

674
00:19:01.709 --> 00:19:02.709
idolatry.

675
00:19:04.099 --> 00:19:04.459
OK,

676
00:19:04.630 --> 00:19:06.449
so first off with him saying

677
00:19:07.189 --> 00:19:08.109
what death Tyran,

678
00:19:08.250 --> 00:19:08.739
you said it was

679
00:19:09.390 --> 00:19:09.849
morning.

680
00:19:10.109 --> 00:19:10.209
Well,

681
00:19:10.310 --> 00:19:10.469
the,

682
00:19:10.550 --> 00:19:11.760
the thing is that I've

683
00:19:12.109 --> 00:19:13.349
been chanting death.

684
00:19:14.300 --> 00:19:15.729
Death to American citizens.

685
00:19:16.020 --> 00:19:17.689
And so as a president,

686
00:19:17.780 --> 00:19:19.079
he needs to be strong.

687
00:19:19.140 --> 00:19:20.219
He needs to be alpha.

688
00:19:20.459 --> 00:19:24.079
He needs to actually intimidate other nations to keep us safe.

689
00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:25.439
So all I'm,

690
00:19:25.859 --> 00:19:26.280
I guess,

691
00:19:26.300 --> 00:19:29.319
saying is I'm not saying Trump should turn the other cheek with Iran.

692
00:19:29.420 --> 00:19:30.839
I think there's very legitimate.

693
00:19:31.729 --> 00:19:33.329
Arguments to make that,

694
00:19:33.410 --> 00:19:34.050
um.

695
00:19:35.339 --> 00:19:36.760
Action needed to be taken.

696
00:19:38.300 --> 00:19:39.819
Militarily against Iran

697
00:19:40.060 --> 00:19:42.280
and that they were a threat to our security,

698
00:19:42.380 --> 00:19:42.979
I think that's a,

699
00:19:43.050 --> 00:19:45.439
there's a very valid debate to have there.

700
00:19:46.150 --> 00:19:47.689
I guess the thing I'm saying is.

701
00:19:48.849 --> 00:19:53.510
It's very un-Christian to threaten genocide

702
00:19:53.969 --> 00:19:55.790
on the most sacred

703
00:19:56.459 --> 00:19:57.069
holiday

704
00:19:57.449 --> 00:19:58.280
in the Christian faith,

705
00:19:58.359 --> 00:19:59.050
which is the,

706
00:19:59.209 --> 00:19:59.369
you know,

707
00:19:59.449 --> 00:20:00.790
the day of the resurrection.

708
00:20:01.390 --> 00:20:02.609
I think that's what I'm saying.

709
00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:03.290
OK.

710
00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:04.630
The thing is that

711
00:20:05.660 --> 00:20:07.000
When we take the whole Bible,

712
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:08.760
there's the Old Testament and the New Testament,

713
00:20:08.869 --> 00:20:12.150
and the God of the New Testament is the same God of the Old Testament.

714
00:20:12.479 --> 00:20:13.540
There's this kind of

715
00:20:14.219 --> 00:20:14.699
idea

716
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:19.040
that God was of justice in the old and of mercy in the new,

717
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:21.000
but that's actually not true.

718
00:20:21.260 --> 00:20:21.819
Um,

719
00:20:21.969 --> 00:20:23.949
he is both justice and mercy,

720
00:20:24.250 --> 00:20:24.750
and

721
00:20:25.209 --> 00:20:25.449
my,

722
00:20:25.609 --> 00:20:26.550
the way

723
00:20:26.650 --> 00:20:29.270
that like my Christian worldview plays into this is that

724
00:20:29.569 --> 00:20:31.660
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

725
00:20:31.729 --> 00:20:32.630
Like we are all

726
00:20:32.810 --> 00:20:33.550
depraved,

727
00:20:33.770 --> 00:20:36.969
and that is like the good news that Jesus came and died for our sins on

728
00:20:36.969 --> 00:20:40.510
the cross so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

729
00:20:40.719 --> 00:20:42.010
And so it's that joy,

730
00:20:42.089 --> 00:20:44.670
it's that love that we want to share with with people,

731
00:20:44.959 --> 00:20:45.439
um,

732
00:20:45.770 --> 00:20:46.189
and

733
00:20:46.890 --> 00:20:50.140
there are Very distinct rules in the Bible for

734
00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:52.239
the government and for the individual.

735
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.109
So,

736
00:20:53.439 --> 00:20:54.500
on an individual level,

737
00:20:54.770 --> 00:20:55.199
yes,

738
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:55.609
you,

739
00:20:55.760 --> 00:20:56.829
you turn the other cheek.

740
00:20:56.939 --> 00:20:57.739
I believe

741
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.199
in capital punishment,

742
00:20:59.479 --> 00:21:01.380
but I do not believe if you commit a

743
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.199
crime against me,

744
00:21:02.260 --> 00:21:03.599
I could capital punishment you.

745
00:21:03.760 --> 00:21:04.890
Like that doesn't work.

746
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:06.609
It's the government's role,

747
00:21:07.040 --> 00:21:07.449
you know,

748
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:08.780
to execute.

749
00:21:09.050 --> 00:21:10.410
The church's role does not

750
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:11.239
have the sword,

751
00:21:11.349 --> 00:21:13.339
it doesn't have the right to execute.

752
00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:14.589
Right,

753
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:16.890
but is it the government's role to

754
00:21:17.910 --> 00:21:18.500
Tweet

755
00:21:18.910 --> 00:21:19.469
it.

756
00:21:19.750 --> 00:21:22.510
I'm not saying it's not the government's role to um.

757
00:21:23.989 --> 00:21:25.069
Carry out these functions,

758
00:21:25.310 --> 00:21:25.859
I guess it's,

759
00:21:25.869 --> 00:21:28.579
it's the character of the man.

760
00:21:29.609 --> 00:21:34.199
That doesn't seem aligned with Christian values in many ways,

761
00:21:34.410 --> 00:21:34.829
but

762
00:21:35.250 --> 00:21:38.369
it seems like he gets a free pass on all of those things.

763
00:21:38.510 --> 00:21:38.729
No,

764
00:21:38.890 --> 00:21:39.949
if you look at any

765
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:41.079
leader,

766
00:21:41.300 --> 00:21:43.979
any man that God raised up in the Bible,

767
00:21:44.209 --> 00:21:45.650
you can look at the Old Testament

768
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:47.439
and you see men like Samson,

769
00:21:47.489 --> 00:21:48.489
you see men like David,

770
00:21:48.530 --> 00:21:49.709
you see men like Solomon.

771
00:21:49.969 --> 00:21:51.390
All of these men were in.

772
00:21:51.584 --> 00:21:52.574
In incredibly flawed.

773
00:21:52.864 --> 00:21:54.385
And then you go to the New Testament,

774
00:21:54.425 --> 00:21:57.444
we have the book of Hebrews where there's this hall of faith where

775
00:21:57.625 --> 00:21:59.645
it mentions all these people

776
00:21:59.824 --> 00:22:02.425
in the past and how God did incredible things through them.

777
00:22:02.625 --> 00:22:05.305
But all of them had serious issues.

778
00:22:05.625 --> 00:22:06.564
So David

779
00:22:06.824 --> 00:22:08.125
committed adultery

780
00:22:08.704 --> 00:22:10.895
with one of his really good friend's wife,

781
00:22:11.074 --> 00:22:12.584
and then he killed the man.

782
00:22:13.270 --> 00:22:15.150
But he was sent to the front lines,

783
00:22:15.189 --> 00:22:15.439
right?

784
00:22:15.869 --> 00:22:17.540
He was still and he,

785
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:18.219
he had him murdered.

786
00:22:18.310 --> 00:22:19.209
So he was,

787
00:22:19.790 --> 00:22:19.939
he,

788
00:22:19.989 --> 00:22:21.130
he repented of that,

789
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:24.229
and he's still a man after God's own heart who who did great things.

790
00:22:24.349 --> 00:22:25.619
But if we look at Solomon,

791
00:22:25.949 --> 00:22:29.069
who was someone who asked for wisdom and was very blessed,

792
00:22:29.150 --> 00:22:29.770
but then

793
00:22:30.270 --> 00:22:31.099
went to,

794
00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:31.900
you know,

795
00:22:32.069 --> 00:22:33.550
insane polygamy,

796
00:22:33.670 --> 00:22:34.410
he had like

797
00:22:34.630 --> 00:22:36.930
hundreds of wives and concubines,

798
00:22:37.270 --> 00:22:37.949
and they turned his heart.

799
00:22:38.310 --> 00:22:39.130
away from God.

800
00:22:39.770 --> 00:22:40.469
He's not

801
00:22:40.890 --> 00:22:43.010
like none of these people are picture perfect,

802
00:22:43.020 --> 00:22:43.849
and that's the point.

803
00:22:44.010 --> 00:22:46.030
Even Donald Trump is not picture perfect,

804
00:22:46.250 --> 00:22:48.520
but it all points to who the perfect one is,

805
00:22:48.530 --> 00:22:49.239
and that's Jesus,

806
00:22:49.250 --> 00:22:49.869
and that's why

807
00:22:50.290 --> 00:22:50.729
we need him.

808
00:22:50.810 --> 00:22:51.439
So no,

809
00:22:51.890 --> 00:22:53.130
nobody gets a free pass.

810
00:22:53.209 --> 00:22:56.530
We will all have to give account for everything that we did before God.

811
00:22:57.020 --> 00:22:57.430
But

812
00:22:57.670 --> 00:22:59.670
he has done incredible things.

813
00:22:59.910 --> 00:23:00.989
He fights for this country.

814
00:23:01.040 --> 00:23:02.869
He's he's taken bullets for us.

815
00:23:02.910 --> 00:23:04.449
He's not let anything stop him.

816
00:23:04.709 --> 00:23:05.829
And I think that

817
00:23:06.390 --> 00:23:06.709
instead of,

818
00:23:06.829 --> 00:23:06.989
you know,

819
00:23:07.109 --> 00:23:09.189
making a joke out of him and being ungrateful,

820
00:23:09.300 --> 00:23:10.329
we should talk about

821
00:23:10.550 --> 00:23:13.469
the ways in which he has kept this country great and has

822
00:23:14.030 --> 00:23:17.530
taken us out of a lot of things that the Biden administration did to harm us.

823
00:23:19.329 --> 00:23:20.270
That was

824
00:23:20.569 --> 00:23:21.349
pretty convincing.

825
00:23:21.489 --> 00:23:22.089
Um,

826
00:23:22.410 --> 00:23:23.290
so I'll,

827
00:23:23.650 --> 00:23:23.849
uh,

828
00:23:24.010 --> 00:23:24.170
we could,

829
00:23:24.250 --> 00:23:24.880
we could end there.

830
00:23:24.930 --> 00:23:27.150
I think I've shown a little bit too much of my,

831
00:23:27.170 --> 00:23:27.609
uh,

832
00:23:28.619 --> 00:23:31.020
My history as a Catholic schoolboy and cause

833
00:23:31.020 --> 00:23:32.680
we went down that rabbit hole pretty far.

834
00:23:32.979 --> 00:23:33.099
Well,

835
00:23:33.300 --> 00:23:33.859
Julia Kate,

836
00:23:33.979 --> 00:23:34.099
uh,

837
00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:34.969
this is really fun.

838
00:23:35.140 --> 00:23:35.750
Thank you so much.

839
00:23:35.849 --> 00:23:36.880
Thank you for letting me,

840
00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:37.170
uh,

841
00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:38.160
push back on you.

842
00:23:39.239 --> 00:23:40.380
Great job in

843
00:23:40.520 --> 00:23:41.989
the episode of Surrounded.

844
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:45.500
I hope you enjoy watching the full thing when it comes out,

845
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:46.119
um,

846
00:23:46.199 --> 00:23:46.920
and hopefully we'll,

847
00:23:46.979 --> 00:23:48.199
we'll cross paths again soon,

848
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:49.579
maybe in another episode.

849
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:50.800
Thank you so much.

850
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:51.189
Thank you.

851
00:23:51.239 --> 00:23:52.800
Like you are a wonderful moderator.

852
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:54.339
I appreciate you and

853
00:23:54.489 --> 00:23:56.619
thank you for bringing these dialogues to life and

854
00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:58.479
allowing me the honor to speak with you today.

855
00:23:58.599 --> 00:23:59.180
Appreciate it.

856
00:23:59.760 --> 00:24:01.119
I'm here with Laurie.

857
00:24:01.439 --> 00:24:01.680
Laurie,

858
00:24:01.760 --> 00:24:03.479
you are a Jubilee All-Star.

859
00:24:03.520 --> 00:24:04.329
You've been in many,

860
00:24:04.439 --> 00:24:05.310
many videos,

861
00:24:05.479 --> 00:24:05.589
uh,

862
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:08.180
but welcome to the surrounded follow-up.

863
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:10.750
I'm so excited to be here with you,

864
00:24:10.760 --> 00:24:13.780
and the one thing I will say about the Jubilee team,

865
00:24:14.479 --> 00:24:16.500
you are the ultimate professionals.

866
00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:17.619
You are kind,

867
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:20.469
you are wonderful to work with,

868
00:24:20.479 --> 00:24:24.420
and I honestly am honored every time I'm asked to be on an episode.

869
00:24:25.459 --> 00:24:25.589
Oh,

870
00:24:25.630 --> 00:24:25.709
well,

871
00:24:25.750 --> 00:24:26.349
that's so nice.

872
00:24:26.430 --> 00:24:28.089
You know how to butter us up.

873
00:24:28.550 --> 00:24:28.630
No,

874
00:24:28.709 --> 00:24:29.780
but it's true.

875
00:24:29.949 --> 00:24:30.790
It's true.

876
00:24:30.949 --> 00:24:31.469
Um,

877
00:24:32.150 --> 00:24:34.410
I've been on other podcasts and stuff where

878
00:24:35.229 --> 00:24:36.790
things are a little bit more hectic.

879
00:24:36.869 --> 00:24:38.530
You hear things in the background,

880
00:24:39.349 --> 00:24:42.530
but your show treats everybody with respect,

881
00:24:42.829 --> 00:24:44.510
and I think that that's very,

882
00:24:44.550 --> 00:24:45.689
very valuable.

883
00:24:46.540 --> 00:24:46.550
Hm,

884
00:24:46.670 --> 00:24:46.750
well,

885
00:24:46.829 --> 00:24:47.069
thank you.

886
00:24:47.150 --> 00:24:47.390
I mean,

887
00:24:47.430 --> 00:24:48.010
that's

888
00:24:48.349 --> 00:24:49.640
certainly the goal,

889
00:24:49.949 --> 00:24:50.689
and

890
00:24:51.150 --> 00:24:51.680
I mean,

891
00:24:51.869 --> 00:24:54.589
I've seen you in so many episodes,

892
00:24:54.709 --> 00:24:55.239
so I

893
00:24:55.660 --> 00:24:55.849
I,

894
00:24:55.939 --> 00:24:58.260
it would be hard to kind of go down the list,

895
00:24:58.420 --> 00:24:59.170
but

896
00:24:59.380 --> 00:25:01.579
this was probably one of the more.

897
00:25:02.589 --> 00:25:03.550
Contentious ones,

898
00:25:03.589 --> 00:25:04.130
at least,

899
00:25:04.150 --> 00:25:04.969
uh,

900
00:25:05.589 --> 00:25:07.229
just because Dean,

901
00:25:07.390 --> 00:25:08.319
he has a,

902
00:25:08.510 --> 00:25:10.569
a firm style of debate

903
00:25:11.069 --> 00:25:11.689
and

904
00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:14.160
the differences between his opinions and,

905
00:25:14.260 --> 00:25:15.599
and you and the other women was,

906
00:25:15.670 --> 00:25:16.209
was,

907
00:25:16.630 --> 00:25:17.640
was significant.

908
00:25:17.819 --> 00:25:20.609
And so it was interesting to see you guys go head to head.

909
00:25:20.699 --> 00:25:22.140
Is that how you experienced it?

910
00:25:22.510 --> 00:25:22.709
Well,

911
00:25:22.790 --> 00:25:23.209
for me,

912
00:25:23.270 --> 00:25:26.089
this is the 2nd time Dean and I have faced off.

913
00:25:26.949 --> 00:25:29.050
And the thing about Dean is he's an,

914
00:25:29.310 --> 00:25:30.650
he's an intelligent kid.

915
00:25:30.729 --> 00:25:32.209
You can't say that he's not.

916
00:25:32.560 --> 00:25:32.569
He

917
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.270
is really good at memorizing the stats that he wants to,

918
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.939
but I think what is lacking

919
00:25:40.189 --> 00:25:41.459
is life experience.

920
00:25:41.520 --> 00:25:41.800
I mean,

921
00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:42.380
he's

922
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:44.380
21 years old

923
00:25:44.719 --> 00:25:49.260
and really his background is he's a social media influencer.

924
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:53.109
So he hasn't really had a chance to see the life that we have.

925
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:54.500
If you even go back

926
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:57.369
to when President Trump was first elected,

927
00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:59.500
Dean was 11 years old.

928
00:26:00.550 --> 00:26:01.050
Mhm.

929
00:26:01.219 --> 00:26:02.339
Don't think about that.

930
00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:02.959
So,

931
00:26:03.310 --> 00:26:06.010
he gets a lot from his side of the aisle,

932
00:26:06.459 --> 00:26:08.160
but I don't think he's always

933
00:26:08.849 --> 00:26:10.099
completely an honest debater,

934
00:26:10.140 --> 00:26:12.010
and there was a part of the episode,

935
00:26:12.300 --> 00:26:14.719
and I just couldn't help myself because

936
00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:16.780
he would spew out what he did,

937
00:26:16.900 --> 00:26:19.650
but then he'd look at the camera and he'd make faces,

938
00:26:19.660 --> 00:26:20.079
and

939
00:26:22.869 --> 00:26:23.910
he was doing the camera he played the camera,

940
00:26:23.939 --> 00:26:25.540
and so at one point I was so like,

941
00:26:25.660 --> 00:26:26.780
this is stupid.

942
00:26:27.229 --> 00:26:27.469
I,

943
00:26:27.589 --> 00:26:32.030
I very harshly exaggerated what he was doing.

944
00:26:32.349 --> 00:26:34.530
I don't know if it'll be in the episode,

945
00:26:35.109 --> 00:26:35.579
but,

946
00:26:35.709 --> 00:26:36.329
you know,

947
00:26:36.510 --> 00:26:38.660
I think that if it came down to it,

948
00:26:38.670 --> 00:26:39.609
and I actually

949
00:26:39.939 --> 00:26:43.089
sat down and found out who he was as a person

950
00:26:43.670 --> 00:26:47.109
and why he takes the views that he does,

951
00:26:47.709 --> 00:26:49.500
we might find a little middle ground,

952
00:26:49.589 --> 00:26:50.550
but I think with Dean,

953
00:26:50.609 --> 00:26:51.890
he's always trying

954
00:26:52.189 --> 00:26:53.069
to win

955
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:55.140
instead of having a conversation.

956
00:26:55.859 --> 00:26:57.449
To see what we could agree on.

957
00:26:58.839 --> 00:26:59.400
Yeah,

958
00:26:59.560 --> 00:26:59.800
I mean,

959
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:00.939
I think he is,

960
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:02.579
he is kind of a new,

961
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:03.339
um.

962
00:27:04.369 --> 00:27:07.670
Part of a new cohort in his generation that is sort of.

963
00:27:08.510 --> 00:27:09.599
Aggressive

964
00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:11.969
liberal debate bros,

965
00:27:12.219 --> 00:27:13.109
um,

966
00:27:13.420 --> 00:27:17.420
although I would argue that that genre of media was.

967
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.020
Probably perfected by the conservative movement,

968
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:22.459
um,

969
00:27:22.469 --> 00:27:23.599
over the last decade,

970
00:27:23.760 --> 00:27:24.000
you know,

971
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:24.579
I think

972
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:29.040
if we just think of Charlie Kirk as sort of the figurehead of that movement,

973
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:29.640
you know,

974
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:30.150
I,

975
00:27:30.959 --> 00:27:32.280
or Steven Crowder,

976
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:33.410
I kind of see it as,

977
00:27:33.469 --> 00:27:34.020
as,

978
00:27:34.239 --> 00:27:34.979
um,

979
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:37.560
something that conservatives did really well,

980
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:39.400
showing up to college campuses,

981
00:27:39.479 --> 00:27:41.739
making people look kind of stupid and

982
00:27:42.060 --> 00:27:42.469
And,

983
00:27:42.479 --> 00:27:42.829
uh,

984
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:43.000
you know,

985
00:27:43.109 --> 00:27:43.760
going for those,

986
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:45.400
those viral digs

987
00:27:45.800 --> 00:27:46.619
and I see

988
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:47.579
Dean is sort of

989
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.280
carrying on that tradition a little bit.

990
00:27:49.869 --> 00:27:50.000
Do you agree,

991
00:27:50.800 --> 00:27:51.829
at the same time,

992
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.329
I was friends with Charlie.

993
00:27:53.479 --> 00:27:53.829
Um,

994
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:55.780
Charlie came to my church when

995
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:59.500
one of the last times I ever saw Charlie was I was leaving

996
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:02.060
an episode of Surrounded with Dean

997
00:28:02.410 --> 00:28:04.510
and Charlie was coming in to film his

998
00:28:05.099 --> 00:28:05.319
episode,

999
00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:06.020
which is

1000
00:28:06.439 --> 00:28:07.969
why the next time I did Surrounded,

1001
00:28:08.020 --> 00:28:09.619
I got really choked up.

1002
00:28:09.849 --> 00:28:09.859
Um,

1003
00:28:11.209 --> 00:28:16.550
Charlie had a firm conviction of what he regarded as truth.

1004
00:28:17.089 --> 00:28:20.930
And what we saw happening in a lot of the universities and even the

1005
00:28:21.170 --> 00:28:22.189
high schools

1006
00:28:22.670 --> 00:28:25.189
was a definite left-wing push

1007
00:28:25.290 --> 00:28:26.270
on our kids,

1008
00:28:26.369 --> 00:28:26.910
where

1009
00:28:27.290 --> 00:28:30.250
if you tried to argue a conservative point of view,

1010
00:28:30.329 --> 00:28:32.989
you would be downgraded a lot of the times.

1011
00:28:33.449 --> 00:28:35.109
I can tell you for my life,

1012
00:28:35.689 --> 00:28:37.939
I was a complete professional woman.

1013
00:28:38.310 --> 00:28:39.780
And I found out my,

1014
00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:40.359
my son,

1015
00:28:40.369 --> 00:28:42.609
who's now going into the Secret Service,

1016
00:28:43.130 --> 00:28:45.410
was taught about sex toys in school.

1017
00:28:45.770 --> 00:28:46.569
As a parent,

1018
00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:48.270
I had a problem with that,

1019
00:28:48.650 --> 00:28:50.510
and Charlie kind of stood

1020
00:28:51.089 --> 00:28:52.800
for what he believed in.

1021
00:28:53.010 --> 00:28:55.510
He was always respectful to people,

1022
00:28:55.770 --> 00:28:58.530
and he always took the disagreeers to the front of the line.

1023
00:28:58.609 --> 00:29:00.189
He wanted to hear them out,

1024
00:29:00.609 --> 00:29:02.390
but I don't think I ever

1025
00:29:02.650 --> 00:29:06.060
heard Charlie be completely disrespectful to someone.

1026
00:29:06.540 --> 00:29:08.250
Or tear them down.

1027
00:29:08.589 --> 00:29:08.790
Yeah,

1028
00:29:08.869 --> 00:29:11.849
at times he would maybe mock or say something,

1029
00:29:12.109 --> 00:29:13.569
but I think all in all,

1030
00:29:14.189 --> 00:29:14.969
Charlie

1031
00:29:15.229 --> 00:29:17.530
stood firmly in his Christian faith,

1032
00:29:17.829 --> 00:29:18.410
and

1033
00:29:18.589 --> 00:29:20.750
he fought for what he believed in

1034
00:29:21.390 --> 00:29:24.229
instead of kind of this mob rule that wanted to get to the front of

1035
00:29:24.229 --> 00:29:27.489
the line so they could prove that he was right and they were wrong.

1036
00:29:27.790 --> 00:29:29.650
I think Charlie had a respect

1037
00:29:30.189 --> 00:29:32.170
for everybody because he believed

1038
00:29:32.589 --> 00:29:34.219
where conversation ends,

1039
00:29:34.430 --> 00:29:35.890
violence would begin.

1040
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:37.609
And what happened,

1041
00:29:38.469 --> 00:29:38.880
right,

1042
00:29:39.109 --> 00:29:39.189
yeah,

1043
00:29:39.310 --> 00:29:43.170
and those those words from him obviously ring uh truer

1044
00:29:43.550 --> 00:29:44.569
now than ever,

1045
00:29:45.030 --> 00:29:46.329
and I agree with you,

1046
00:29:46.390 --> 00:29:47.650
the line between

1047
00:29:48.589 --> 00:29:51.310
provocation and confrontation and disrespect is,

1048
00:29:51.420 --> 00:29:52.650
is a little fuzzy,

1049
00:29:52.670 --> 00:29:53.209
and

1050
00:29:53.750 --> 00:29:55.089
if you go back through

1051
00:29:55.550 --> 00:29:57.689
the majority of Charlie Kirk's career,

1052
00:29:58.020 --> 00:29:58.550
um,

1053
00:29:58.750 --> 00:29:59.069
he,

1054
00:29:59.189 --> 00:30:01.369
he was definitely interested in

1055
00:30:01.510 --> 00:30:02.130
persuasion,

1056
00:30:02.150 --> 00:30:03.290
and that was his goal,

1057
00:30:03.550 --> 00:30:03.939
um,

1058
00:30:04.189 --> 00:30:05.489
not so much humiliation.

1059
00:30:06.099 --> 00:30:06.449
Um,

1060
00:30:06.530 --> 00:30:08.630
and there were certainly a lot of clips that were,

1061
00:30:09.329 --> 00:30:10.040
um,

1062
00:30:10.569 --> 00:30:11.869
completely misrepresenting,

1063
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:12.170
uh,

1064
00:30:12.290 --> 00:30:12.550
him

1065
00:30:12.770 --> 00:30:13.790
that circulated,

1066
00:30:13.800 --> 00:30:14.109
uh,

1067
00:30:14.369 --> 00:30:15.689
to kind of characterize him as,

1068
00:30:15.760 --> 00:30:16.959
as more malicious,

1069
00:30:17.010 --> 00:30:17.319
I think,

1070
00:30:17.329 --> 00:30:17.969
than he was.

1071
00:30:18.239 --> 00:30:18.339
Well,

1072
00:30:18.689 --> 00:30:19.650
he certainly had,

1073
00:30:20.089 --> 00:30:21.430
he certainly said some,

1074
00:30:21.770 --> 00:30:22.719
some spicy things.

1075
00:30:22.770 --> 00:30:23.479
I think like the,

1076
00:30:23.530 --> 00:30:25.829
the one that sticks out to me the most was maybe,

1077
00:30:26.729 --> 00:30:27.369
I can't remember,

1078
00:30:27.969 --> 00:30:28.770
he said

1079
00:30:29.089 --> 00:30:29.670
something

1080
00:30:29.930 --> 00:30:30.969
Joe Biden did was,

1081
00:30:31.010 --> 00:30:32.339
was treasonous or,

1082
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:32.430
or,

1083
00:30:32.439 --> 00:30:33.400
or something like that,

1084
00:30:33.449 --> 00:30:33.890
um.

1085
00:30:34.609 --> 00:30:34.890
So,

1086
00:30:35.209 --> 00:30:35.410
I,

1087
00:30:35.530 --> 00:30:35.709
I,

1088
00:30:35.780 --> 00:30:37.130
I can't defend everything he said.

1089
00:30:37.209 --> 00:30:37.609
I think he,

1090
00:30:37.650 --> 00:30:37.810
he,

1091
00:30:37.890 --> 00:30:38.689
he crossed the line,

1092
00:30:38.760 --> 00:30:39.750
but I agree with you

1093
00:30:40.209 --> 00:30:42.229
that wasn't something he was always doing.

1094
00:30:42.810 --> 00:30:43.010
Yeah,

1095
00:30:43.170 --> 00:30:43.520
well,

1096
00:30:43.810 --> 00:30:44.369
for instance,

1097
00:30:44.449 --> 00:30:45.709
the trans issue.

1098
00:30:45.810 --> 00:30:47.969
I remember there was a student that asked him,

1099
00:30:48.050 --> 00:30:49.829
why do you hate trans people?

1100
00:30:50.170 --> 00:30:50.800
And he said,

1101
00:30:50.969 --> 00:30:52.510
how can I hate that which

1102
00:30:52.930 --> 00:30:53.670
I love?

1103
00:30:54.410 --> 00:30:57.109
And I don't think in his heart of hearts

1104
00:30:57.410 --> 00:30:59.750
he had ill intent toward anybody.

1105
00:31:00.089 --> 00:31:01.750
He wanted the best for

1106
00:31:01.890 --> 00:31:02.589
people.

1107
00:31:03.770 --> 00:31:09.180
In his way that he thought would be best for mankind in other people's lives.

1108
00:31:09.459 --> 00:31:10.250
I think that

1109
00:31:10.540 --> 00:31:11.689
him being a Christian,

1110
00:31:12.020 --> 00:31:13.819
him seeing sin in people's lives,

1111
00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:14.439
and let's

1112
00:31:14.859 --> 00:31:15.219
face it,

1113
00:31:15.329 --> 00:31:16.359
we all fall short.

1114
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:20.680
He wanted to bring people to a place where.

1115
00:31:21.469 --> 00:31:21.989
You know,

1116
00:31:22.270 --> 00:31:23.609
they had faith and

1117
00:31:23.949 --> 00:31:25.729
looked at things that were beautiful

1118
00:31:26.069 --> 00:31:26.660
in life,

1119
00:31:26.670 --> 00:31:27.189
and

1120
00:31:27.430 --> 00:31:32.199
I think he really wanted to cut through the dissension and the division,

1121
00:31:32.630 --> 00:31:33.229
and

1122
00:31:33.510 --> 00:31:35.270
I think he did a good job at that,

1123
00:31:35.410 --> 00:31:35.829
but

1124
00:31:36.469 --> 00:31:39.239
I think what is so harmful is the rhetoric,

1125
00:31:39.349 --> 00:31:39.560
you know,

1126
00:31:39.670 --> 00:31:44.520
when you go around and you call conservatives Nazis or white supremacists,

1127
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:46.400
you're basically making

1128
00:31:46.609 --> 00:31:47.920
them unhuman

1129
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:48.900
when we all,

1130
00:31:48.959 --> 00:31:49.540
I think,

1131
00:31:49.800 --> 00:31:50.619
left or right,

1132
00:31:51.479 --> 00:31:54.640
can find common goals in what we want for our families,

1133
00:31:54.719 --> 00:31:56.140
but how we get there

1134
00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:58.390
may be two different ways,

1135
00:31:58.479 --> 00:31:58.680
you know,

1136
00:31:58.800 --> 00:32:00.500
we're all human beings

1137
00:32:00.800 --> 00:32:03.939
and we all should have the same rights as everybody else,

1138
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:05.060
so.

1139
00:32:05.569 --> 00:32:05.579
It,

1140
00:32:06.410 --> 00:32:08.829
when you start putting people into boxes,

1141
00:32:09.719 --> 00:32:09.959
uh,

1142
00:32:10.089 --> 00:32:13.849
whether it be race or sexual sexual orientation,

1143
00:32:14.449 --> 00:32:15.989
that creates division.

1144
00:32:16.810 --> 00:32:17.290
So,

1145
00:32:17.380 --> 00:32:19.609
if we could get back to the middle

1146
00:32:19.890 --> 00:32:22.290
where we just respect each other and let

1147
00:32:22.650 --> 00:32:25.250
everybody live our lives the way we want to without

1148
00:32:25.250 --> 00:32:27.430
saying you need to believe the way I do,

1149
00:32:27.770 --> 00:32:29.359
or you're a bad person,

1150
00:32:29.530 --> 00:32:31.069
I think we'd get a lot further.

1151
00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:32.140
Yeah,

1152
00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:32.540
well,

1153
00:32:32.619 --> 00:32:34.219
and I spoke to Julia Kate,

1154
00:32:34.229 --> 00:32:34.500
and,

1155
00:32:34.609 --> 00:32:35.479
and she really

1156
00:32:35.800 --> 00:32:39.119
opened up about how her faith really informs her stance,

1157
00:32:39.380 --> 00:32:39.579
um,

1158
00:32:39.699 --> 00:32:40.780
on a lot of these issues,

1159
00:32:40.859 --> 00:32:41.540
and I know you,

1160
00:32:41.619 --> 00:32:43.359
I think you said you are a Christian,

1161
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:44.380
um,

1162
00:32:45.140 --> 00:32:45.729
but there is,

1163
00:32:45.900 --> 00:32:46.219
and I,

1164
00:32:46.339 --> 00:32:46.420
you know,

1165
00:32:46.459 --> 00:32:48.439
I brought up Michael Knowles because he said,

1166
00:32:48.609 --> 00:32:48.739
you know,

1167
00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:49.640
he has pretty

1168
00:32:50.739 --> 00:32:51.180
extreme views,

1169
00:32:51.219 --> 00:32:51.770
I would say,

1170
00:32:51.780 --> 00:32:52.219
on,

1171
00:32:52.300 --> 00:32:52.569
um,

1172
00:32:52.579 --> 00:32:53.819
LGBTQ issues,

1173
00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:54.400
not just,

1174
00:32:54.459 --> 00:32:54.729
uh,

1175
00:32:54.739 --> 00:32:55.800
transgender,

1176
00:32:56.260 --> 00:32:56.680
um.

1177
00:32:57.660 --> 00:32:57.939
People,

1178
00:32:58.020 --> 00:32:59.819
but also I think he's part of a

1179
00:32:59.819 --> 00:33:02.920
movement to overthrow the marriage equality decision,

1180
00:33:03.209 --> 00:33:03.859
um,

1181
00:33:04.339 --> 00:33:04.829
and so he,

1182
00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:05.680
he's not

1183
00:33:05.819 --> 00:33:06.619
in favor of,

1184
00:33:06.689 --> 00:33:08.180
of gay people being able to,

1185
00:33:08.329 --> 00:33:08.689
to marry,

1186
00:33:08.739 --> 00:33:10.069
but then I hear you saying

1187
00:33:10.810 --> 00:33:12.130
My favorite movie is Bird King.

1188
00:33:12.290 --> 00:33:12.790
The Bird King.

1189
00:33:12.800 --> 00:33:13.630
I love that movie.

1190
00:33:13.930 --> 00:33:14.719
I love it,

1191
00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:16.510
yeah,

1192
00:33:16.520 --> 00:33:16.890
and dust.

1193
00:33:17.489 --> 00:33:18.229
And so,

1194
00:33:18.290 --> 00:33:18.449
you know,

1195
00:33:18.489 --> 00:33:20.930
I think when people watch our shows and see you,

1196
00:33:21.050 --> 00:33:21.930
your appearances,

1197
00:33:22.010 --> 00:33:24.280
they probably lump you into this like

1198
00:33:24.569 --> 00:33:25.310
very

1199
00:33:25.849 --> 00:33:27.750
far right conservative

1200
00:33:28.089 --> 00:33:28.510
group,

1201
00:33:28.650 --> 00:33:29.849
but then when you and I talk,

1202
00:33:29.930 --> 00:33:30.349
I see.

1203
00:33:31.209 --> 00:33:33.069
I hear different views coming out.

1204
00:33:33.569 --> 00:33:34.270
Do you worry

1205
00:33:34.589 --> 00:33:36.670
about that faction of the right,

1206
00:33:36.770 --> 00:33:36.930
you know,

1207
00:33:37.050 --> 00:33:37.989
this may be more.

1208
00:33:39.050 --> 00:33:40.550
Christian nationalist,

1209
00:33:40.650 --> 00:33:41.329
um.

1210
00:33:42.689 --> 00:33:45.709
Vein of conservatism that wants to

1211
00:33:46.130 --> 00:33:47.910
really police sexuality

1212
00:33:48.209 --> 00:33:49.650
um of adults and,

1213
00:33:49.729 --> 00:33:50.050
and,

1214
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:52.030
and remove marriage equality.

1215
00:33:52.489 --> 00:33:52.680
Do you,

1216
00:33:52.890 --> 00:33:54.150
do you worry about that?

1217
00:33:55.810 --> 00:33:56.579
I,

1218
00:33:57.050 --> 00:33:58.160
I really don't,

1219
00:33:58.280 --> 00:33:59.449
and I'll tell you why.

1220
00:34:01.430 --> 00:34:03.770
I think that first of all,

1221
00:34:04.579 --> 00:34:04.589
It,

1222
00:34:04.739 --> 00:34:04.979
it,

1223
00:34:05.260 --> 00:34:08.820
it's pretty laid in stone for me as a Christian.

1224
00:34:08.899 --> 00:34:11.159
I can only speak for myself.

1225
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.638
I don't believe that one person is more righteous than another.

1226
00:34:15.759 --> 00:34:17.717
I don't believe that.

1227
00:34:19.748 --> 00:34:21.638
If somebody is on,

1228
00:34:21.799 --> 00:34:21.918
I,

1229
00:34:21.998 --> 00:34:23.819
I just think we all have individual

1230
00:34:23.998 --> 00:34:24.759
paths.

1231
00:34:25.208 --> 00:34:25.319
Now,

1232
00:34:25.398 --> 00:34:26.638
am I worried about them?

1233
00:34:26.799 --> 00:34:26.938
No,

1234
00:34:26.998 --> 00:34:27.628
I'm not,

1235
00:34:27.918 --> 00:34:31.059
because just like we were talking about with

1236
00:34:31.478 --> 00:34:36.178
the far extreme left wanting to give kids sex changes,

1237
00:34:36.638 --> 00:34:37.739
I think that.

1238
00:34:38.750 --> 00:34:41.600
They're trying to put forward a moral compass,

1239
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:43.899
but to enforce that on somebody,

1240
00:34:44.438 --> 00:34:45.360
it's not real.

1241
00:34:45.478 --> 00:34:46.820
People need to

1242
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:49.469
live their lives from their hearts,

1243
00:34:49.600 --> 00:34:49.760
uh,

1244
00:34:49.879 --> 00:34:51.139
from their minds.

1245
00:34:51.399 --> 00:34:54.520
I don't think that gay marriage is at risk.

1246
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:55.560
I really don't.

1247
00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:55.840
I mean,

1248
00:34:55.918 --> 00:34:57.360
I have a lot of friends and.

1249
00:34:57.729 --> 00:34:59.409
The log cabin Republicans,

1250
00:34:59.489 --> 00:35:00.929
which are the gay Republicans,

1251
00:35:01.250 --> 00:35:01.969
great guys,

1252
00:35:02.330 --> 00:35:04.790
throw the best parties at the convention.

1253
00:35:05.449 --> 00:35:06.020
And,

1254
00:35:06.169 --> 00:35:06.560
you know,

1255
00:35:06.810 --> 00:35:07.570
my son,

1256
00:35:07.709 --> 00:35:07.929
um,

1257
00:35:08.010 --> 00:35:09.669
who's gonna be a Secret Service agent,

1258
00:35:09.729 --> 00:35:10.550
is gay.

1259
00:35:11.530 --> 00:35:11.969
And,

1260
00:35:12.010 --> 00:35:12.250
you know,

1261
00:35:12.379 --> 00:35:12.729
for me,

1262
00:35:12.820 --> 00:35:16.070
I just want him to find love and fulfillment in his life.

1263
00:35:16.929 --> 00:35:17.590
So,

1264
00:35:18.250 --> 00:35:19.459
I don't think that,

1265
00:35:19.929 --> 00:35:20.649
for instance,

1266
00:35:20.729 --> 00:35:21.689
if you want to say,

1267
00:35:21.770 --> 00:35:21.929
well,

1268
00:35:22.010 --> 00:35:23.330
it's sexually immoral,

1269
00:35:23.429 --> 00:35:23.570
well,

1270
00:35:23.649 --> 00:35:27.209
it's no more sexually immoral than me being a single woman.

1271
00:35:28.040 --> 00:35:29.000
And

1272
00:35:29.600 --> 00:35:30.679
being promiscuous.

1273
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:31.040
I mean,

1274
00:35:31.090 --> 00:35:32.179
in reality,

1275
00:35:32.560 --> 00:35:35.729
I just don't think it's right for us to

1276
00:35:37.429 --> 00:35:38.500
Enforce

1277
00:35:38.959 --> 00:35:39.959
our beliefs on somebody.

1278
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:41.719
I'm a Christian and I love our country,

1279
00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:43.959
so if that makes me a Christian nationalist,

1280
00:35:44.449 --> 00:35:45.040
great,

1281
00:35:45.399 --> 00:35:49.459
but I do not believe that anybody should enforce their will

1282
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:50.520
on anybody.

1283
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:52.040
They have their own journey.

1284
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:52.760
They,

1285
00:35:52.879 --> 00:35:54.659
they have their own path with God.

1286
00:35:54.959 --> 00:35:56.739
God's gonna meet them where they're at.

1287
00:35:57.419 --> 00:35:57.659
Mhm.

1288
00:35:58.120 --> 00:35:58.500
Yeah,

1289
00:35:58.679 --> 00:35:59.040
and I mean,

1290
00:35:59.129 --> 00:35:59.290
I,

1291
00:35:59.479 --> 00:36:00.360
I agree with you.

1292
00:36:00.520 --> 00:36:01.469
I think a lot of,

1293
00:36:01.479 --> 00:36:02.739
a lot of people who are

1294
00:36:03.750 --> 00:36:04.449
Center,

1295
00:36:04.550 --> 00:36:04.939
uh,

1296
00:36:05.070 --> 00:36:05.270
and,

1297
00:36:05.350 --> 00:36:07.540
and left obviously would agree with you on that.

1298
00:36:07.870 --> 00:36:08.070
We,

1299
00:36:08.169 --> 00:36:10.169
we want your son to be who he is,

1300
00:36:10.510 --> 00:36:10.820
um,

1301
00:36:10.949 --> 00:36:11.199
and,

1302
00:36:11.310 --> 00:36:13.270
and if he wants to be married and have kids,

1303
00:36:13.350 --> 00:36:13.969
I think that,

1304
00:36:14.020 --> 00:36:15.729
that it is a very healthy path,

1305
00:36:16.100 --> 00:36:16.850
um,

1306
00:36:17.310 --> 00:36:17.709
so yeah,

1307
00:36:17.830 --> 00:36:18.469
it.

1308
00:36:20.250 --> 00:36:20.669
Don't be,

1309
00:36:21.169 --> 00:36:22.370
but 11 thing I hear,

1310
00:36:22.969 --> 00:36:23.129
yeah,

1311
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:23.449
and I,

1312
00:36:23.570 --> 00:36:25.689
I think there's an argument to be made that that

1313
00:36:25.689 --> 00:36:27.790
too much promiscuity is not good for your health,

1314
00:36:28.290 --> 00:36:28.399
um,

1315
00:36:28.489 --> 00:36:29.739
mentally or physically,

1316
00:36:30.850 --> 00:36:31.429
you know,

1317
00:36:32.810 --> 00:36:35.110
people feeling that they're not worth anything.

1318
00:36:35.870 --> 00:36:36.429
Yeah,

1319
00:36:36.790 --> 00:36:37.389
but then,

1320
00:36:37.520 --> 00:36:37.949
um,

1321
00:36:38.110 --> 00:36:39.070
from what I hear from you,

1322
00:36:39.149 --> 00:36:39.709
that's not,

1323
00:36:39.790 --> 00:36:41.790
that doesn't sound like Christian nationalism

1324
00:36:41.949 --> 00:36:42.530
at all.

1325
00:36:42.669 --> 00:36:43.300
And so,

1326
00:36:43.590 --> 00:36:43.669
you know,

1327
00:36:43.750 --> 00:36:44.040
there's,

1328
00:36:44.229 --> 00:36:46.750
there is this kind of interesting symmetry that you're pointing out,

1329
00:36:46.899 --> 00:36:47.409
you know.

1330
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:49.260
These kind of radical

1331
00:36:50.550 --> 00:36:51.550
views on

1332
00:36:53.250 --> 00:36:54.209
Giving kids,

1333
00:36:54.330 --> 00:36:54.929
uh,

1334
00:36:55.330 --> 00:36:56.260
giving minors,

1335
00:36:56.370 --> 00:36:56.560
uh,

1336
00:36:56.629 --> 00:36:57.989
surgeries or drugs,

1337
00:36:58.090 --> 00:36:58.280
uh,

1338
00:36:58.290 --> 00:36:59.070
if they

1339
00:36:59.250 --> 00:37:01.530
think that they're born in the wrong sex,

1340
00:37:02.250 --> 00:37:02.370
that,

1341
00:37:02.449 --> 00:37:05.030
that's kind of a radical view on the left and we sort of paint

1342
00:37:05.330 --> 00:37:08.000
people on the left maybe too broadly with those views.

1343
00:37:08.330 --> 00:37:09.479
But then on the other side,

1344
00:37:09.560 --> 00:37:09.760
you know,

1345
00:37:09.850 --> 00:37:10.310
there is,

1346
00:37:10.449 --> 00:37:11.429
there are these

1347
00:37:11.850 --> 00:37:14.919
prevalent public figures who are Christian nationalists,

1348
00:37:14.929 --> 00:37:17.510
and what I mean by that is like they want.

1349
00:37:18.250 --> 00:37:21.129
A government that operates more theocratically.

1350
00:37:21.250 --> 00:37:22.709
They want to see.

1351
00:37:23.580 --> 00:37:24.959
The average Christian

1352
00:37:25.219 --> 00:37:27.399
view of marriage reflected

1353
00:37:27.739 --> 00:37:29.639
in law prohibiting

1354
00:37:29.780 --> 00:37:31.699
people like your son from getting married,

1355
00:37:32.100 --> 00:37:32.620
um,

1356
00:37:32.860 --> 00:37:36.209
and maybe we overindex how many conservatives

1357
00:37:36.209 --> 00:37:37.659
actually believe that because I think a

1358
00:37:37.659 --> 00:37:41.040
lot of our viewers probably would think that you believe that because you get

1359
00:37:41.310 --> 00:37:42.699
sort of lumped in with that side.

1360
00:37:43.189 --> 00:37:43.310
Well,

1361
00:37:44.030 --> 00:37:45.649
there's this interesting parallel.

1362
00:37:46.389 --> 00:37:46.550
I,

1363
00:37:46.629 --> 00:37:50.070
I've argued it heatedly on the show before and on,

1364
00:37:50.169 --> 00:37:50.389
you know,

1365
00:37:50.510 --> 00:37:51.310
other shows,

1366
00:37:51.750 --> 00:37:54.689
but you don't get the time to really see where you're coming from,

1367
00:37:54.750 --> 00:37:55.750
if that makes sense.

1368
00:37:56.570 --> 00:37:58.239
It's usually like blah,

1369
00:37:58.520 --> 00:37:59.030
everybody's

1370
00:37:59.370 --> 00:38:02.350
talking at each other and then the bell rings.

1371
00:38:02.850 --> 00:38:03.310
So,

1372
00:38:03.729 --> 00:38:04.010
you know,

1373
00:38:04.169 --> 00:38:07.659
somebody doesn't really get to know what you really feel and why.

1374
00:38:08.209 --> 00:38:08.649
Um,

1375
00:38:08.929 --> 00:38:10.250
and then as far as,

1376
00:38:10.449 --> 00:38:10.800
you know,

1377
00:38:11.209 --> 00:38:14.429
I think you and I have to be honest with ourselves too.

1378
00:38:15.050 --> 00:38:15.929
A lot of these people,

1379
00:38:16.129 --> 00:38:16.610
Dean,

1380
00:38:16.969 --> 00:38:17.760
Michael Knowles,

1381
00:38:17.850 --> 00:38:19.149
both make a living.

1382
00:38:19.939 --> 00:38:21.270
On their perspective.

1383
00:38:22.090 --> 00:38:22.209
So,

1384
00:38:22.290 --> 00:38:22.770
therefore,

1385
00:38:22.889 --> 00:38:23.189
if

1386
00:38:23.770 --> 00:38:26.090
they need to stand strong in their stances,

1387
00:38:26.209 --> 00:38:27.080
number one,

1388
00:38:27.530 --> 00:38:30.229
because that's how they get their clicks and how they make money.

1389
00:38:30.770 --> 00:38:31.909
It's kind of like,

1390
00:38:32.250 --> 00:38:32.510
I,

1391
00:38:32.649 --> 00:38:34.229
I truly believe

1392
00:38:34.689 --> 00:38:35.810
that when Charlie died,

1393
00:38:35.929 --> 00:38:37.729
I think Dean was really sad.

1394
00:38:38.520 --> 00:38:42.060
And the pushback he got from his followers.

1395
00:38:42.330 --> 00:38:42.550
Oh,

1396
00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:43.070
how dare you

1397
00:38:44.090 --> 00:38:45.219
support this guy?

1398
00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:46.870
He's a racist,

1399
00:38:47.050 --> 00:38:47.469
you know,

1400
00:38:47.729 --> 00:38:49.409
they made Charlie unhuman,

1401
00:38:49.520 --> 00:38:53.909
and that's the dangerous thing is when you start dehumanizing people

1402
00:38:54.449 --> 00:38:55.429
to the point.

1403
00:38:57.030 --> 00:38:58.340
People try to kill them.

1404
00:38:58.659 --> 00:39:00.159
And maybe

1405
00:39:00.780 --> 00:39:02.070
Dean doesn't,

1406
00:39:02.459 --> 00:39:03.100
you know,

1407
00:39:03.729 --> 00:39:05.479
feel that extreme

1408
00:39:05.899 --> 00:39:06.739
about things,

1409
00:39:06.860 --> 00:39:10.750
but he had to cave to his mob followers.

1410
00:39:11.219 --> 00:39:13.120
But the thing that scares me.

1411
00:39:13.889 --> 00:39:15.919
Is there an unbalanced person

1412
00:39:16.469 --> 00:39:17.919
in that following rank

1413
00:39:18.219 --> 00:39:19.899
that is gonna hear rhetoric,

1414
00:39:20.340 --> 00:39:23.979
dehumanize somebody on the other side and do something violent,

1415
00:39:24.260 --> 00:39:27.540
and I think it's something we need to be really careful with.

1416
00:39:27.820 --> 00:39:30.360
Our rhetoric really needs to change.

1417
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:31.790
Yeah,

1418
00:39:32.040 --> 00:39:32.280
I,

1419
00:39:32.399 --> 00:39:33.120
I agree with,

1420
00:39:33.479 --> 00:39:34.040
I agree with that,

1421
00:39:34.120 --> 00:39:35.830
but do you think rhetoric is,

1422
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:36.379
um.

1423
00:39:37.189 --> 00:39:40.110
I guess I agree that rhetoric can be.

1424
00:39:40.909 --> 00:39:45.209
Unhelpful and can be a catalyst for violence.

1425
00:39:45.629 --> 00:39:46.110
Um,

1426
00:39:46.750 --> 00:39:46.989
however,

1427
00:39:47.070 --> 00:39:49.909
I think violent actions kind of stand alone.

1428
00:39:50.030 --> 00:39:50.270
Like I,

1429
00:39:50.350 --> 00:39:53.610
I don't think you can directly blame words for causing violence.

1430
00:39:53.989 --> 00:39:56.429
But when you say we need to dial in the rhetoric,

1431
00:39:56.590 --> 00:39:57.379
are you also

1432
00:39:58.030 --> 00:39:59.409
feeling that same

1433
00:40:00.870 --> 00:40:03.250
Critique towards the president because

1434
00:40:03.590 --> 00:40:03.820
I mean,

1435
00:40:03.870 --> 00:40:05.649
his rhetoric is rather.

1436
00:40:08.030 --> 00:40:09.330
It's rather uh

1437
00:40:09.510 --> 00:40:09.790
extreme.

1438
00:40:09.870 --> 00:40:10.110
I mean,

1439
00:40:10.149 --> 00:40:13.110
if we just think about like his tweet on Easter morning.

1440
00:40:14.350 --> 00:40:14.550
Yeah,

1441
00:40:14.699 --> 00:40:15.020
well,

1442
00:40:15.149 --> 00:40:15.639
and.

1443
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:18.439
This is the thing about Trump.

1444
00:40:19.830 --> 00:40:20.260
Um,

1445
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:21.929
I worked on his campaign.

1446
00:40:22.010 --> 00:40:25.219
I actually have a picture of me and him together.

1447
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:27.879
You meet him and he's such a nice guy.

1448
00:40:28.030 --> 00:40:29.399
Bill Maher talks about this.

1449
00:40:29.479 --> 00:40:30.120
He's not.

1450
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:31.560
I hear a lot of people say that,

1451
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:33.580
that you think that he is.

1452
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:36.379
Now Trump is a guy from Queens.

1453
00:40:36.879 --> 00:40:37.379
Now,

1454
00:40:37.479 --> 00:40:38.239
a lot of people,

1455
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:40.600
and I've heard this from several people,

1456
00:40:41.080 --> 00:40:43.879
Queens men were always the ones that had to stand up.

1457
00:40:43.959 --> 00:40:45.479
Brooklyn was the tough guys.

1458
00:40:46.389 --> 00:40:48.590
Sometimes Trump will say things and you'll be like,

1459
00:40:48.750 --> 00:40:49.149
ah,

1460
00:40:49.310 --> 00:40:50.110
what are you doing?

1461
00:40:50.350 --> 00:40:52.530
Because you know there's gonna be pushback.

1462
00:40:53.229 --> 00:40:57.010
But I think that when I look at his actions on things that he's doing,

1463
00:40:58.149 --> 00:41:00.790
I think there's a bigger picture that people are not seeing.

1464
00:41:00.870 --> 00:41:03.459
I think that a lot of things that he has said

1465
00:41:03.820 --> 00:41:05.459
have been taken out of context,

1466
00:41:05.479 --> 00:41:05.929
like

1467
00:41:06.229 --> 00:41:08.770
the fine people on both sides argument.

1468
00:41:09.110 --> 00:41:10.149
I agree that was,

1469
00:41:10.389 --> 00:41:12.129
that was misrepresented,

1470
00:41:12.469 --> 00:41:15.570
but they still misrepresent it to this day.

1471
00:41:16.419 --> 00:41:16.570
Russiagate,

1472
00:41:17.469 --> 00:41:20.090
calling this man the minute he came down.

1473
00:41:20.520 --> 00:41:21.739
The escalator,

1474
00:41:22.040 --> 00:41:24.979
a Russian asset when now we know

1475
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:27.040
Hillary Clinton paid for it

1476
00:41:27.290 --> 00:41:32.610
and all the information of the dossier was made up in a bar over beers in the UK

1477
00:41:33.070 --> 00:41:35.540
according to subsource one.

1478
00:41:36.120 --> 00:41:37.699
When you paint somebody

1479
00:41:38.169 --> 00:41:40.139
as the enemy of the country

1480
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:42.320
and you tell people he's a Nazi,

1481
00:41:42.399 --> 00:41:44.909
he's an authoritative person,

1482
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:47.139
you're not going to have rights.

1483
00:41:47.949 --> 00:41:52.209
There's no rights anybody has lost under Trump that they didn't have before.

1484
00:41:52.590 --> 00:41:56.209
And that's what I'm talking about extreme res uh.

1485
00:41:57.459 --> 00:41:58.909
Extreme rhetoric

1486
00:41:59.229 --> 00:42:00.879
and you can say that about Trump,

1487
00:42:00.949 --> 00:42:03.969
but a lot of things that Trump says and does

1488
00:42:04.229 --> 00:42:05.989
is honestly to troll people.

1489
00:42:06.310 --> 00:42:08.889
I think he gets reactions out of people.

1490
00:42:10.260 --> 00:42:11.330
My question to you though is,

1491
00:42:12.090 --> 00:42:12.280
Are,

1492
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:13.909
are you giving him

1493
00:42:14.330 --> 00:42:17.570
more lenience than your political opponents because,

1494
00:42:17.889 --> 00:42:18.080
you know,

1495
00:42:18.330 --> 00:42:19.199
Trump is called,

1496
00:42:19.570 --> 00:42:21.280
he famously called the media,

1497
00:42:21.409 --> 00:42:21.530
you know,

1498
00:42:21.600 --> 00:42:22.850
the enemy of the people.

1499
00:42:23.129 --> 00:42:23.489
I mean,

1500
00:42:24.370 --> 00:42:24.739
he's,

1501
00:42:24.850 --> 00:42:27.699
he really is the most powerful man in the world,

1502
00:42:28.209 --> 00:42:30.189
certainly in the country right now,

1503
00:42:30.610 --> 00:42:32.090
and I mean he has a very,

1504
00:42:32.300 --> 00:42:34.270
very long list of

1505
00:42:34.810 --> 00:42:37.149
wild things that he said into a mic,

1506
00:42:37.409 --> 00:42:37.989
um.

1507
00:42:38.489 --> 00:42:43.000
And I mean that you could really make an argument that our culture is born out of that.

1508
00:42:43.010 --> 00:42:45.330
And so this really divisive culture that we have is,

1509
00:42:45.350 --> 00:42:46.669
is sort of born out of

1510
00:42:47.209 --> 00:42:48.889
the lines that he crosses as,

1511
00:42:48.969 --> 00:42:49.800
as that

1512
00:42:50.250 --> 00:42:51.229
central figure.

1513
00:42:52.209 --> 00:42:55.949
Was he the one that crossed it first though is what I have to ask you

1514
00:42:56.489 --> 00:42:58.770
when you've got every TV station.

1515
00:43:00.090 --> 00:43:03.840
Reporting 98% negative news against him,

1516
00:43:04.250 --> 00:43:06.639
they are not being honest with the people.

1517
00:43:07.050 --> 00:43:10.560
When they spent 3 years telling us he was a Russian agent,

1518
00:43:10.929 --> 00:43:13.270
they were not being honest with people.

1519
00:43:13.699 --> 00:43:16.550
And I think when Trump came down and he was

1520
00:43:16.850 --> 00:43:18.520
put into office the first time,

1521
00:43:18.810 --> 00:43:20.389
he wanted to fix things.

1522
00:43:20.610 --> 00:43:22.449
And what he found was an FBI,

1523
00:43:22.530 --> 00:43:23.679
a CIA,

1524
00:43:24.209 --> 00:43:25.610
and a

1525
00:43:26.010 --> 00:43:27.149
previous administration,

1526
00:43:27.290 --> 00:43:29.389
and you can say OJ 6.

1527
00:43:30.050 --> 00:43:31.070
They literally

1528
00:43:31.610 --> 00:43:32.350
designed

1529
00:43:32.770 --> 00:43:34.389
a narrative around him

1530
00:43:34.570 --> 00:43:36.449
to overthrow his presidency.

1531
00:43:37.510 --> 00:43:38.949
So when he said,

1532
00:43:39.110 --> 00:43:39.419
and you're,

1533
00:43:39.469 --> 00:43:41.129
we're still talking about the Russian dossier,

1534
00:43:41.189 --> 00:43:41.479
right?

1535
00:43:42.070 --> 00:43:42.149
0,

1536
00:43:42.189 --> 00:43:42.949
100%.

1537
00:43:42.989 --> 00:43:44.760
I mean that lasted 3 years,

1538
00:43:45.350 --> 00:43:45.989
3 years,

1539
00:43:46.030 --> 00:43:48.520
and there's still people to this day that believe it,

1540
00:43:48.989 --> 00:43:49.149
right?

1541
00:43:49.350 --> 00:43:50.979
But I mean that's not unique though.

1542
00:43:51.030 --> 00:43:51.449
I mean,

1543
00:43:51.629 --> 00:43:55.250
Clinton was impeached for an affair that he had with an intern.

1544
00:43:55.669 --> 00:43:56.419
I mean that was,

1545
00:43:56.560 --> 00:43:59.739
that was pretty big news for my childhood.

1546
00:44:00.189 --> 00:44:03.409
They said that President Trump committed treason.

1547
00:44:03.810 --> 00:44:03.820
They

1548
00:44:04.370 --> 00:44:05.090
said that he,

1549
00:44:05.229 --> 00:44:07.909
they were trying to overthrow his presidency.

1550
00:44:09.379 --> 00:44:10.719
But he was,

1551
00:44:11.060 --> 00:44:12.340
but the Mueller report,

1552
00:44:12.530 --> 00:44:13.800
the Mueller report

1553
00:44:14.179 --> 00:44:15.379
acquitted him though,

1554
00:44:15.540 --> 00:44:15.699
you know,

1555
00:44:15.780 --> 00:44:17.840
like the official kind of like government,

1556
00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:18.780
um.

1557
00:44:19.959 --> 00:44:21.590
Document the Mueller report,

1558
00:44:22.560 --> 00:44:24.300
it found that there was no

1559
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:25.580
credible

1560
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:26.989
claim that Trump,

1561
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:27.479
you know,

1562
00:44:27.600 --> 00:44:28.189
was a,

1563
00:44:28.479 --> 00:44:29.810
a compromised candidate.

1564
00:44:29.919 --> 00:44:30.159
There were,

1565
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:33.860
there were connections to Russia in unique ways

1566
00:44:33.860 --> 00:44:35.320
and like Paul Manafort was one of them,

1567
00:44:35.399 --> 00:44:36.219
but there was no.

1568
00:44:36.709 --> 00:44:37.379
Um,

1569
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:39.000
what was the collusion?

1570
00:44:39.120 --> 00:44:39.879
There was no collusion,

1571
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:40.989
so there wasn't any

1572
00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:41.639
collusion.

1573
00:44:41.719 --> 00:44:43.080
The whole thing was a lie.

1574
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:45.219
Hillary Clinton paid for it

1575
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:46.100
through Fusion,

1576
00:44:46.129 --> 00:44:47.520
but isn't that the system work?

1577
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:50.629
Isn't that the system working in his favor and,

1578
00:44:50.669 --> 00:44:51.830
and defending him,

1579
00:44:51.919 --> 00:44:53.159
I guess I'm just not sure.

1580
00:44:53.770 --> 00:44:57.189
How does that justify then like January 6th?

1581
00:44:57.530 --> 00:44:57.810
OK,

1582
00:44:57.929 --> 00:45:00.909
so January 6th is a completely different subject.

1583
00:45:01.409 --> 00:45:01.949
I think,

1584
00:45:02.169 --> 00:45:03.270
I think that there were

1585
00:45:03.649 --> 00:45:05.530
very violent people on January 6th.

1586
00:45:05.570 --> 00:45:07.550
I think that they should be held to account,

1587
00:45:07.850 --> 00:45:10.030
but there's other clips like there was a woman

1588
00:45:10.570 --> 00:45:12.030
who again faced jail

1589
00:45:12.409 --> 00:45:13.050
that got,

1590
00:45:13.209 --> 00:45:13.449
you know,

1591
00:45:13.530 --> 00:45:16.659
when you're at a concert and you got all these people pushing you,

1592
00:45:18.250 --> 00:45:18.360
terrifying.

1593
00:45:18.449 --> 00:45:20.510
She got sucked into the crowd.

1594
00:45:21.330 --> 00:45:22.500
A lot of people did,

1595
00:45:22.530 --> 00:45:24.600
was carried toward that tunnel

1596
00:45:24.979 --> 00:45:28.139
where she was just beat beyond recognition,

1597
00:45:28.500 --> 00:45:29.000
and

1598
00:45:29.580 --> 00:45:33.000
you could literally see in the video where she is sucked into the crowd.

1599
00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:34.340
So again,

1600
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:37.459
I just think collectively we can't just say,

1601
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:37.870
oh,

1602
00:45:37.919 --> 00:45:39.659
they tried to overthrow the government.

1603
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:45.040
In all honesty there were people who I don't think they as in the whole,

1604
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:47.560
but I mean you're talking a million people.

1605
00:45:47.600 --> 00:45:49.310
If they wanted to overthrow the government,

1606
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:51.459
they would have been armed and it would have fallen.

1607
00:45:51.919 --> 00:45:52.270
I,

1608
00:45:52.399 --> 00:45:52.989
I,

1609
00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:53.699
OK,

1610
00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:54.389
um,

1611
00:45:54.919 --> 00:45:57.979
thank you for going this far in with me because I'm really enjoying this.

1612
00:45:58.080 --> 00:45:59.699
The only thing I want to say though is,

1613
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:00.179
um.

1614
00:46:01.820 --> 00:46:02.179
I,

1615
00:46:02.300 --> 00:46:02.939
I mean,

1616
00:46:03.300 --> 00:46:03.679
Laurie,

1617
00:46:03.820 --> 00:46:05.550
when you look back on January 6th,

1618
00:46:05.780 --> 00:46:08.159
do you not see it as

1619
00:46:08.620 --> 00:46:11.899
sort of this grassroots effort to

1620
00:46:13.060 --> 00:46:15.760
Contest the certification of that election

1621
00:46:16.179 --> 00:46:17.399
like through force.

1622
00:46:18.739 --> 00:46:18.860
Well,

1623
00:46:18.939 --> 00:46:19.919
that's the thing.

1624
00:46:20.459 --> 00:46:21.800
All elections have

1625
00:46:22.419 --> 00:46:24.629
they contest when Trump was first elected,

1626
00:46:24.659 --> 00:46:25.939
there was debate on the floor.

1627
00:46:26.060 --> 00:46:28.000
I wanted to see the debate on the floor.

1628
00:46:28.100 --> 00:46:28.419
I know,

1629
00:46:28.459 --> 00:46:28.699
I know,

1630
00:46:28.810 --> 00:46:28.860
but,

1631
00:46:29.100 --> 00:46:29.540
but Laurie,

1632
00:46:29.620 --> 00:46:31.770
I'm just saying like characteristically,

1633
00:46:31.820 --> 00:46:32.860
like materially,

1634
00:46:32.979 --> 00:46:33.739
characteristically,

1635
00:46:33.820 --> 00:46:34.659
optically.

1636
00:46:35.260 --> 00:46:36.199
It's one thing,

1637
00:46:36.219 --> 00:46:38.780
and we saw this like when I was a kid,

1638
00:46:38.790 --> 00:46:39.639
like there was

1639
00:46:40.020 --> 00:46:44.929
disagreement about the outcome of the Bush versus Gore election,

1640
00:46:45.179 --> 00:46:46.520
and it was totally

1641
00:46:46.939 --> 00:46:47.879
valid,

1642
00:46:48.300 --> 00:46:50.320
but the courts made a decision

1643
00:46:50.580 --> 00:46:52.540
that could be argued

1644
00:46:52.649 --> 00:46:53.639
either way

1645
00:46:53.939 --> 00:46:55.610
and then everybody stood by that,

1646
00:46:55.620 --> 00:46:56.610
and there was no,

1647
00:46:56.820 --> 00:46:58.199
and correct me if I'm wrong,

1648
00:46:58.260 --> 00:46:59.320
but there was no.

1649
00:47:00.020 --> 00:47:03.570
Significant incident anywhere close to what happened on January 6th.

1650
00:47:03.860 --> 00:47:06.620
And so I'm just saying January 6th is unique in

1651
00:47:06.620 --> 00:47:08.909
its own way when you look at it where it's like

1652
00:47:09.600 --> 00:47:11.850
This is a group of people who are

1653
00:47:12.389 --> 00:47:13.530
through force

1654
00:47:14.229 --> 00:47:17.370
trying to interfere with the certification of this election,

1655
00:47:17.989 --> 00:47:18.149
right?

1656
00:47:18.229 --> 00:47:18.649
And

1657
00:47:18.949 --> 00:47:19.189
again,

1658
00:47:19.229 --> 00:47:19.969
when it happened,

1659
00:47:20.030 --> 00:47:21.350
my jaw dropped and I'm like,

1660
00:47:21.550 --> 00:47:21.909
no,

1661
00:47:22.030 --> 00:47:26.139
because I knew it would stop the debate on the floor and that's what I wanted to see.

1662
00:47:26.669 --> 00:47:27.500
However,

1663
00:47:27.830 --> 00:47:29.060
I do think that,

1664
00:47:29.310 --> 00:47:29.550
you know,

1665
00:47:29.669 --> 00:47:33.370
we do know now there was a lot of FBI agents in the crowd.

1666
00:47:34.310 --> 00:47:37.290
There should have been a lot more preventative measures,

1667
00:47:37.669 --> 00:47:38.310
and

1668
00:47:38.870 --> 00:47:41.729
I do think we had a lot of problems with that election,

1669
00:47:41.750 --> 00:47:45.370
and I do think that there were a lot of people there that truly thought their

1670
00:47:45.669 --> 00:47:47.469
country was being stolen.

1671
00:47:47.949 --> 00:47:51.010
I don't condone violence from anybody.

1672
00:47:51.350 --> 00:47:54.189
I don't think that anybody has the right.

1673
00:47:54.510 --> 00:47:54.520
To

1674
00:47:55.629 --> 00:47:57.189
injure or hurt anybody else.

1675
00:47:57.229 --> 00:48:01.510
Unfortunately we live in a fallen world and stupid people do stupid things.

1676
00:48:01.870 --> 00:48:05.449
I think on January 6th there were people that got caught up in it.

1677
00:48:05.870 --> 00:48:09.610
I think that on January 6th there were bad people.

1678
00:48:10.070 --> 00:48:13.449
I do think on January 6th that.

1679
00:48:15.129 --> 00:48:18.159
The narrative did so much for the left

1680
00:48:18.540 --> 00:48:21.679
that they want to keep replaying certain things that

1681
00:48:22.340 --> 00:48:24.459
pushed that everybody was violent.

1682
00:48:24.860 --> 00:48:28.290
But the fact of the matter is not everybody was,

1683
00:48:28.629 --> 00:48:29.870
and those people that were

1684
00:48:30.429 --> 00:48:33.909
were collectively prosecuted with those that were.

1685
00:48:34.270 --> 00:48:34.810
And

1686
00:48:35.070 --> 00:48:35.350
again,

1687
00:48:35.469 --> 00:48:36.169
Brady,

1688
00:48:36.310 --> 00:48:36.510
uh,

1689
00:48:36.669 --> 00:48:39.050
we all have the right to a defense,

1690
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:42.540
and when they withhold Brady evidence from a trial,

1691
00:48:42.790 --> 00:48:44.209
you don't have a fair trial.

1692
00:48:44.629 --> 00:48:46.090
So those processes

1693
00:48:46.909 --> 00:48:47.699
in those courts,

1694
00:48:47.790 --> 00:48:50.770
knowing that there was like a 98% conviction rate.

1695
00:48:52.500 --> 00:48:52.820
That's,

1696
00:48:52.899 --> 00:48:54.739
that's statistically impossible.

1697
00:48:54.899 --> 00:48:55.659
I again,

1698
00:48:55.739 --> 00:48:55.939
we're,

1699
00:48:56.020 --> 00:48:57.800
we hit the same thing where it's like

1700
00:48:58.419 --> 00:49:00.110
a lot of these.

1701
00:49:01.219 --> 00:49:02.060
Problems are,

1702
00:49:02.139 --> 00:49:04.120
are both sides overplaying their hand.

1703
00:49:04.699 --> 00:49:05.300
Um,

1704
00:49:05.669 --> 00:49:05.979
and it,

1705
00:49:06.020 --> 00:49:09.659
it might have been a grave mistake to prosecute

1706
00:49:09.659 --> 00:49:12.439
people who were not the worst of the worst

1707
00:49:12.739 --> 00:49:15.320
on January 6th as aggressively as they were,

1708
00:49:15.739 --> 00:49:16.179
um,

1709
00:49:16.659 --> 00:49:21.340
because that might have made Trump's actions maybe more justifiable if you,

1710
00:49:21.419 --> 00:49:22.979
if you look at them granularly,

1711
00:49:23.120 --> 00:49:23.600
but I

1712
00:49:24.810 --> 00:49:25.290
I gotta,

1713
00:49:25.449 --> 00:49:29.469
I gotta say a lot of the things I hear from you just really.

1714
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:31.100
Yeah,

1715
00:49:31.479 --> 00:49:31.760
I just,

1716
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:36.620
I gotta say like a lot of what I hear from you is just not how I think

1717
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:37.830
people,

1718
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:38.159
like it's,

1719
00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:42.159
it's not um consistent with sort of the brand of MAGA and,

1720
00:49:42.270 --> 00:49:42.469
and,

1721
00:49:42.560 --> 00:49:44.899
and Trump's own statements himself and so,

1722
00:49:45.899 --> 00:49:46.639
I am

1723
00:49:48.169 --> 00:49:51.330
I guess I'm surprised that you come across as partisan as

1724
00:49:51.330 --> 00:49:53.860
you do in our content because when we talk about it,

1725
00:49:53.889 --> 00:49:54.250
you don't,

1726
00:49:54.290 --> 00:49:56.350
you don't actually seem all that partisan,

1727
00:49:56.889 --> 00:49:57.129
um,

1728
00:49:57.239 --> 00:49:59.129
and it seems like Trump actually is

1729
00:49:59.770 --> 00:50:02.250
not like a great representation of your,

1730
00:50:02.399 --> 00:50:03.729
of your views or I guess the,

1731
00:50:03.810 --> 00:50:05.610
the movement that man.

1732
00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:06.949
I think he's funny.

1733
00:50:07.370 --> 00:50:08.530
I really do.

1734
00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:09.000
I think,

1735
00:50:09.129 --> 00:50:09.250
well,

1736
00:50:09.350 --> 00:50:10.050
maybe I'm wrong,

1737
00:50:10.209 --> 00:50:10.889
maybe I'm wrong.

1738
00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:12.260
I wanna play,

1739
00:50:12.560 --> 00:50:13.820
I wanna play one more quick,

1740
00:50:13.879 --> 00:50:14.110
uh,

1741
00:50:14.120 --> 00:50:17.110
clip for you because you shared something I thought that was really good.

1742
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:17.659
So

1743
00:50:17.959 --> 00:50:19.760
you shared kind of your,

1744
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:21.699
a little bit of your own life story and,

1745
00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:23.979
and I want to play you this clip and then we can,

1746
00:50:24.120 --> 00:50:25.320
you can tell me more about it.

1747
00:50:25.479 --> 00:50:27.260
So stop misinterpreting the genuine claims.

1748
00:50:27.864 --> 00:50:28.824
Made by a victim of

1749
00:50:29.024 --> 00:50:30.625
predicated off of the trauma that they went through.

1750
00:50:30.824 --> 00:50:31.304
Quite frankly,

1751
00:50:31.385 --> 00:50:31.635
Laurie,

1752
00:50:31.754 --> 00:50:33.084
I think that is disgusting.

1753
00:50:33.264 --> 00:50:33.425
Well,

1754
00:50:33.504 --> 00:50:36.245
I think it's disgusting because I was a victim of

1755
00:50:36.425 --> 00:50:38.084
actual rape and abuse.

1756
00:50:38.225 --> 00:50:40.905
And if you want to compare what happened in the Epstein files,

1757
00:50:40.975 --> 00:50:41.905
let me just tell you,

1758
00:50:42.094 --> 00:50:43.955
I was one of those little girls.

1759
00:50:44.419 --> 00:50:44.879
OK,

1760
00:50:45.310 --> 00:50:46.629
I was one of those little girls,

1761
00:50:46.679 --> 00:50:48.070
but the guy was Hugh Hefner.

1762
00:50:48.350 --> 00:50:51.020
So for you to sit here and sit there and say it's disgusting,

1763
00:50:51.070 --> 00:50:51.510
I'm sorry,

1764
00:50:51.550 --> 00:50:54.350
I don't agree with a woman as a woman who was abused.

1765
00:50:54.590 --> 00:50:57.840
I don't agree with the attacks falsely on Donald Trump

1766
00:50:58.270 --> 00:51:00.010
because of the crap that your side

1767
00:51:00.189 --> 00:51:03.850
always has to push because you got such bad TDS it's insane.

1768
00:51:04.590 --> 00:51:05.169
So

1769
00:51:05.590 --> 00:51:09.439
this is obviously I wish you guys would change the lighting in that studio.

1770
00:51:11.780 --> 00:51:12.479
I think you look,

1771
00:51:12.590 --> 00:51:13.300
you look great,

1772
00:51:13.310 --> 00:51:14.250
and I'm,

1773
00:51:14.669 --> 00:51:16.689
I'm more curious what you.

1774
00:51:18.429 --> 00:51:22.370
What do you feel comfortable opening up more about like the experience,

1775
00:51:22.409 --> 00:51:22.560
you,

1776
00:51:22.649 --> 00:51:23.409
you said you,

1777
00:51:23.570 --> 00:51:23.770
you know,

1778
00:51:23.889 --> 00:51:24.530
you were,

1779
00:51:24.669 --> 00:51:26.429
lived in Hugh Hefner's mansion.

1780
00:51:26.489 --> 00:51:26.949
I mean,

1781
00:51:27.899 --> 00:51:28.100
How did,

1782
00:51:28.449 --> 00:51:30.120
how did you find yourself in that context?

1783
00:51:30.540 --> 00:51:30.860
OK,

1784
00:51:31.020 --> 00:51:31.540
so,

1785
00:51:31.899 --> 00:51:31.979
yeah,

1786
00:51:32.060 --> 00:51:33.780
I've thought about writing a book before,

1787
00:51:33.790 --> 00:51:36.479
and I think that's why even with the Epstein stuff,

1788
00:51:36.520 --> 00:51:37.040
I

1789
00:51:37.699 --> 00:51:38.600
really

1790
00:51:39.260 --> 00:51:42.479
struggle with how politicized that's become

1791
00:51:43.350 --> 00:51:45.169
because everybody wants to make it about Trump.

1792
00:51:45.260 --> 00:51:46.169
This isn't about Trump.

1793
00:51:46.219 --> 00:51:47.159
This is a

1794
00:51:47.659 --> 00:51:50.120
thing that's been going on for decades,

1795
00:51:50.500 --> 00:51:52.879
and I mean decades with the powerful.

1796
00:51:53.479 --> 00:51:53.810
Uh,

1797
00:51:53.899 --> 00:51:55.129
when I was a young girl,

1798
00:51:55.250 --> 00:51:55.530
I,

1799
00:51:55.689 --> 00:51:55.929
I,

1800
00:51:56.040 --> 00:51:56.169
you know,

1801
00:51:56.290 --> 00:51:59.310
I didn't have a very functional home.

1802
00:51:59.850 --> 00:52:00.469
I.

1803
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:03.530
Grew up in in an alcoholic home.

1804
00:52:04.459 --> 00:52:06.500
By the time I was 12 years old,

1805
00:52:06.739 --> 00:52:06.939
you know,

1806
00:52:07.060 --> 00:52:08.439
my tombo stage,

1807
00:52:09.100 --> 00:52:11.459
my mom had attempted suicide.

1808
00:52:11.580 --> 00:52:12.520
She was bipolar.

1809
00:52:13.540 --> 00:52:13.610
I'm sorry,

1810
00:52:14.939 --> 00:52:15.229
yeah,

1811
00:52:15.459 --> 00:52:16.409
after that,

1812
00:52:16.500 --> 00:52:17.139
um,

1813
00:52:18.500 --> 00:52:18.699
I,

1814
00:52:18.780 --> 00:52:18.899
I,

1815
00:52:19.010 --> 00:52:19.179
you know,

1816
00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:19.979
I got into trouble.

1817
00:52:20.060 --> 00:52:20.659
I was a kid.

1818
00:52:20.699 --> 00:52:21.760
I didn't have attention.

1819
00:52:21.969 --> 00:52:24.639
My dad was off dating a bunch of women

1820
00:52:25.100 --> 00:52:25.790
and

1821
00:52:26.500 --> 00:52:27.040
I

1822
00:52:27.379 --> 00:52:28.719
started doing drugs.

1823
00:52:29.179 --> 00:52:30.899
My dad would always kick me out,

1824
00:52:31.020 --> 00:52:32.100
so therefore,

1825
00:52:32.260 --> 00:52:32.459
you know,

1826
00:52:32.580 --> 00:52:33.699
I did like the,

1827
00:52:33.820 --> 00:52:33.979
I,

1828
00:52:34.060 --> 00:52:34.260
you know,

1829
00:52:34.419 --> 00:52:34.620
I'm,

1830
00:52:34.699 --> 00:52:35.689
I'm 60 years old.

1831
00:52:35.739 --> 00:52:36.919
I was cute when I was

1832
00:52:37.620 --> 00:52:38.120
younger.

1833
00:52:38.379 --> 00:52:39.169
But anyways,

1834
00:52:39.540 --> 00:52:40.520
so I used to,

1835
00:52:40.580 --> 00:52:41.280
um,

1836
00:52:41.300 --> 00:52:45.280
started with the OP bikini contest in Huntington Beach.

1837
00:52:45.780 --> 00:52:48.189
You start getting photographers around you.

1838
00:52:48.580 --> 00:52:49.159
Then

1839
00:52:49.459 --> 00:52:51.520
I end up in Hollywood,

1840
00:52:51.860 --> 00:52:52.639
where

1841
00:52:53.520 --> 00:52:57.340
He wasn't the only deviant that had young girls at the mansion.

1842
00:52:57.919 --> 00:53:00.780
I can tell you because I didn't have anywhere to go.

1843
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:05.429
I lived at the Playboy Mansion for a while and I was 16 years old,

1844
00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:07.080
1516.

1845
00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:08.629
From there,

1846
00:53:08.879 --> 00:53:12.219
I was moved to a place called Grey Hall

1847
00:53:12.510 --> 00:53:14.310
that was owned by a man named,

1848
00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:14.550
uh,

1849
00:53:14.560 --> 00:53:15.780
Bernie Kornfeld,

1850
00:53:16.360 --> 00:53:18.979
who used to own Max Modeling Agency.

1851
00:53:19.669 --> 00:53:20.459
From there,

1852
00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:21.459
um.

1853
00:53:22.870 --> 00:53:24.810
All I'm trying to say is

1854
00:53:24.989 --> 00:53:26.169
that happened to me

1855
00:53:26.909 --> 00:53:28.500
as a young girl and.

1856
00:53:29.520 --> 00:53:30.290
Luckily,

1857
00:53:30.399 --> 00:53:30.750
and I'm sorry,

1858
00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:32.639
yeah,

1859
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:33.040
you know,

1860
00:53:33.159 --> 00:53:33.540
but

1861
00:53:33.800 --> 00:53:35.139
I think now that,

1862
00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:35.899
you know,

1863
00:53:36.320 --> 00:53:40.600
the whole QAnon thing was about dropping the Epstein files and everybody's like,

1864
00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:40.879
oh,

1865
00:53:41.070 --> 00:53:41.679
QAnon.

1866
00:53:41.959 --> 00:53:42.989
I wasn't fully into it,

1867
00:53:43.040 --> 00:53:46.879
but I used to look at the posts because I was curious and it was all the Epstein drops,

1868
00:53:47.239 --> 00:53:51.100
but everybody demonized that until they thought they could connect it with Trump.

1869
00:53:51.560 --> 00:53:53.780
But I think what people really need to realize,

1870
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:56.199
this is going on today.

1871
00:53:56.719 --> 00:53:58.479
It happened at Nickelodeon.

1872
00:53:58.639 --> 00:53:59.879
It happened at Disney.

1873
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:01.419
One of my abusers,

1874
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:04.870
a man by the name of Robert Evans,

1875
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:05.780
who,

1876
00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:06.219
uh,

1877
00:54:06.229 --> 00:54:07.260
produced the movie

1878
00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:08.260
Chinatown

1879
00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:09.800
and Cotton Club.

1880
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:12.590
He used to be the president of Paramount Studios.

1881
00:54:13.090 --> 00:54:15.020
This shit is still

1882
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:15.699
going

1883
00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:16.459
on,

1884
00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:17.780
and Epstein

1885
00:54:17.919 --> 00:54:19.520
is a little piece of it.

1886
00:54:20.169 --> 00:54:20.919
So,

1887
00:54:21.409 --> 00:54:22.530
luckily for me,

1888
00:54:22.689 --> 00:54:22.889
you know,

1889
00:54:22.969 --> 00:54:24.489
when I was 21 years old,

1890
00:54:24.550 --> 00:54:26.229
I gave my life to the Lord.

1891
00:54:26.489 --> 00:54:27.659
I pursued business.

1892
00:54:27.689 --> 00:54:30.209
I became a very successful businesswoman.

1893
00:54:30.570 --> 00:54:31.979
I got a family.

1894
00:54:32.290 --> 00:54:35.500
I've been able to help other victims of trafficking,

1895
00:54:35.530 --> 00:54:37.669
of those that have been abused,

1896
00:54:38.169 --> 00:54:38.810
and

1897
00:54:39.169 --> 00:54:41.669
that's why when this border thing happened and

1898
00:54:41.850 --> 00:54:44.969
all these children started going missing in our country.

1899
00:54:45.510 --> 00:54:48.010
My heart bled for these kids because

1900
00:54:48.270 --> 00:54:51.050
even now Tim Tebow's got a whole movement going

1901
00:54:51.320 --> 00:54:52.169
to find

1902
00:54:52.429 --> 00:54:53.169
these kids,

1903
00:54:53.189 --> 00:54:53.709
and

1904
00:54:55.760 --> 00:54:58.149
the online exploitation with the internet now.

1905
00:54:58.270 --> 00:55:00.409
Thank God we didn't have the internet then,

1906
00:55:01.030 --> 00:55:01.860
is disgusting,

1907
00:55:01.870 --> 00:55:05.010
and we have hundreds of thousands of children in our country

1908
00:55:05.580 --> 00:55:05.989
today.

1909
00:55:06.389 --> 00:55:07.659
That need rescuing.

1910
00:55:08.149 --> 00:55:09.989
So I think where I'm coming from,

1911
00:55:10.110 --> 00:55:12.610
having lived my past experience,

1912
00:55:13.120 --> 00:55:14.649
is letting people know

1913
00:55:14.860 --> 00:55:16.429
Epstein's an inkling

1914
00:55:16.750 --> 00:55:17.909
of the disgusting,

1915
00:55:17.989 --> 00:55:18.389
evil,

1916
00:55:18.469 --> 00:55:19.250
vile

1917
00:55:19.510 --> 00:55:21.669
abuse that is happening to children

1918
00:55:22.030 --> 00:55:23.709
all over our country today,

1919
00:55:23.989 --> 00:55:27.139
and I want to stand to prevent what's happening now

1920
00:55:27.500 --> 00:55:28.649
because we can't help

1921
00:55:28.790 --> 00:55:30.330
what happened 20 years ago.

1922
00:55:31.199 --> 00:55:31.870
Mhm.

1923
00:55:32.280 --> 00:55:32.679
Well,

1924
00:55:32.919 --> 00:55:33.959
thank you for sharing that.

1925
00:55:34.040 --> 00:55:35.500
I'm so sorry

1926
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:38.149
that you endured some of those experiences.

1927
00:55:38.580 --> 00:55:39.229
Made me a stronger woman.

1928
00:55:40.629 --> 00:55:41.060
Yeah,

1929
00:55:41.250 --> 00:55:41.340
well,

1930
00:55:41.419 --> 00:55:41.709
and I,

1931
00:55:41.790 --> 00:55:42.830
and it seems like you,

1932
00:55:42.909 --> 00:55:43.969
you made it out

1933
00:55:44.149 --> 00:55:45.969
like you're saying as a very strong,

1934
00:55:46.229 --> 00:55:46.729
um,

1935
00:55:47.229 --> 00:55:47.820
person,

1936
00:55:47.909 --> 00:55:48.449
leader,

1937
00:55:49.189 --> 00:55:50.379
very strong woman leader,

1938
00:55:50.830 --> 00:55:51.250
but

1939
00:55:51.510 --> 00:55:52.030
you know,

1940
00:55:52.229 --> 00:55:52.590
um,

1941
00:55:52.750 --> 00:55:54.209
Dean played that clip

1942
00:55:54.669 --> 00:55:55.209
to,

1943
00:55:55.229 --> 00:55:55.570
uh,

1944
00:55:55.580 --> 00:55:57.330
Shiva in the episode

1945
00:55:57.790 --> 00:56:00.310
where he talks about like going backstage with women who don't

1946
00:56:00.310 --> 00:56:02.469
have their clothes on and he's kind of bragging about it.

1947
00:56:02.989 --> 00:56:04.560
There are accusations against him.

1948
00:56:04.639 --> 00:56:05.760
I agree with you.

1949
00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:07.320
Like nothing's clear cut.

1950
00:56:07.600 --> 00:56:10.280
You could also make an argument that some of these are not valid

1951
00:56:11.429 --> 00:56:12.020
right now.

1952
00:56:12.629 --> 00:56:15.070
At the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageant,

1953
00:56:15.149 --> 00:56:17.340
because I used to do a lot of fashion shows.

1954
00:56:17.709 --> 00:56:19.550
There are always men backstage.

1955
00:56:19.830 --> 00:56:21.260
If you put an AI right now,

1956
00:56:21.830 --> 00:56:24.350
what's the statistical probability of Trump

1957
00:56:24.350 --> 00:56:26.770
being backstage alone with women changing?

1958
00:56:27.189 --> 00:56:28.310
It's zero.

1959
00:56:28.629 --> 00:56:30.659
But this is the point I'm making though is,

1960
00:56:30.729 --> 00:56:33.530
is Trump probably wanted to be

1961
00:56:34.030 --> 00:56:35.540
like Hugh Hefner in a lot of ways.

1962
00:56:35.590 --> 00:56:36.229
I mean they're.

1963
00:56:37.300 --> 00:56:37.560
They,

1964
00:56:37.659 --> 00:56:39.620
they kind of have a similar brand and,

1965
00:56:39.770 --> 00:56:40.600
and so.

1966
00:56:41.689 --> 00:56:41.969
I mean,

1967
00:56:42.090 --> 00:56:44.429
don't you worry though that like

1968
00:56:45.070 --> 00:56:46.149
the president

1969
00:56:46.850 --> 00:56:48.350
is kind of

1970
00:56:48.770 --> 00:56:52.090
similar to a lot of these men that that victimized you.

1971
00:56:52.409 --> 00:56:54.169
You don't see any rhyme there.

1972
00:56:54.449 --> 00:56:54.560
Well,

1973
00:56:54.610 --> 00:56:55.550
I know the president.

1974
00:56:56.729 --> 00:56:56.899
You know,

1975
00:56:56.939 --> 00:56:58.620
I think maybe that's the difference.

1976
00:56:58.739 --> 00:56:59.360
Um,

1977
00:57:00.270 --> 00:57:01.419
he's a good father,

1978
00:57:01.459 --> 00:57:01.860
and yeah,

1979
00:57:01.979 --> 00:57:03.959
when he was a young celebrity,

1980
00:57:04.260 --> 00:57:05.159
absolutely.

1981
00:57:05.540 --> 00:57:06.040
I mean,

1982
00:57:06.409 --> 00:57:07.300
let's be real,

1983
00:57:07.459 --> 00:57:07.939
John.

1984
00:57:08.399 --> 00:57:10.010
If you look at rock bands,

1985
00:57:10.090 --> 00:57:10.770
for instance,

1986
00:57:10.850 --> 00:57:11.050
you know,

1987
00:57:11.290 --> 00:57:13.649
let's talk about the grab them by the pussy comment.

1988
00:57:13.850 --> 00:57:14.050
Let's,

1989
00:57:14.129 --> 00:57:15.629
let's just get that out there.

1990
00:57:16.250 --> 00:57:16.689
Number one,

1991
00:57:16.810 --> 00:57:17.250
there's a,

1992
00:57:17.409 --> 00:57:20.209
there's a verb in there that everybody seems to forget,

1993
00:57:20.280 --> 00:57:22.350
and I think that Trump likes to see,

1994
00:57:22.770 --> 00:57:23.689
especially when he was younger,

1995
00:57:23.810 --> 00:57:25.070
liked to come across as

1996
00:57:25.409 --> 00:57:26.209
the man's,

1997
00:57:26.290 --> 00:57:26.810
you know,

1998
00:57:27.169 --> 00:57:27.370
kind of,

1999
00:57:27.419 --> 00:57:27.610
oh,

2000
00:57:27.649 --> 00:57:28.330
all these women walking.

2001
00:57:30.165 --> 00:57:30.925
Um,

2002
00:57:31.264 --> 00:57:31.685
but

2003
00:57:31.945 --> 00:57:35.324
what he had said in that clip was women let

2004
00:57:35.465 --> 00:57:36.685
you grab them by,

2005
00:57:37.584 --> 00:57:39.685
and what I'm gonna say about that is

2006
00:57:39.864 --> 00:57:40.875
there's groupies

2007
00:57:41.104 --> 00:57:42.564
that probably would

2008
00:57:42.864 --> 00:57:43.185
let

2009
00:57:43.344 --> 00:57:44.824
him grab them by the pussies.

2010
00:57:44.905 --> 00:57:45.774
Is that gross?

2011
00:57:45.864 --> 00:57:46.104
Yeah,

2012
00:57:46.445 --> 00:57:46.824
gross.

2013
00:57:46.905 --> 00:57:47.635
But Laurie,

2014
00:57:47.745 --> 00:57:49.925
don't you see how you kind of like are arguing both,

2015
00:57:49.935 --> 00:57:50.695
both ways,

2016
00:57:50.705 --> 00:57:51.284
because like,

2017
00:57:51.864 --> 00:57:52.784
I agree with you,

2018
00:57:52.864 --> 00:57:53.104
you know,

2019
00:57:53.185 --> 00:57:57.145
like if Tim Tebow's making a documentary that's bringing abuse of,

2020
00:57:57.334 --> 00:57:58.544
of children to light.

2021
00:57:58.989 --> 00:58:00.270
We should celebrate that,

2022
00:58:00.550 --> 00:58:01.419
but at the same time,

2023
00:58:01.590 --> 00:58:04.969
if the Me Too movement and feminists are trying to

2024
00:58:05.429 --> 00:58:05.810
end

2025
00:58:06.110 --> 00:58:08.810
the cultural trend of men in power having,

2026
00:58:09.310 --> 00:58:09.510
you know,

2027
00:58:09.629 --> 00:58:13.469
no consequences for putting sexual pressure on their employees or,

2028
00:58:13.540 --> 00:58:14.149
or things like that,

2029
00:58:14.270 --> 00:58:14.810
shouldn't we,

2030
00:58:15.229 --> 00:58:17.409
aren't these all kind of in the same,

2031
00:58:17.909 --> 00:58:18.110
aren't,

2032
00:58:18.149 --> 00:58:20.340
aren't a lot of these causes on the same team,

2033
00:58:20.350 --> 00:58:20.689
and,

2034
00:58:21.229 --> 00:58:25.310
and doesn't downplaying Trump's behavior when he was younger

2035
00:58:25.830 --> 00:58:27.969
cut against that like shared goal?

2036
00:58:28.879 --> 00:58:29.050
Uh,

2037
00:58:29.250 --> 00:58:29.409
I'll,

2038
00:58:29.489 --> 00:58:30.870
I'll tell you why I,

2039
00:58:30.969 --> 00:58:31.209
I,

2040
00:58:31.290 --> 00:58:32.469
I think that.

2041
00:58:34.060 --> 00:58:35.760
People do stupid stuff.

2042
00:58:36.570 --> 00:58:37.750
When they're younger

2043
00:58:38.409 --> 00:58:41.929
and people can change over years and over growth.

2044
00:58:42.090 --> 00:58:44.989
I think Trump is an 8 year old man now.

2045
00:58:45.250 --> 00:58:47.350
I didn't vote for a pastor.

2046
00:58:47.729 --> 00:58:49.149
I think that his

2047
00:58:49.409 --> 00:58:51.889
past probably was very promiscuous.

2048
00:58:51.969 --> 00:58:53.449
He had a lot of women around him.

2049
00:58:53.520 --> 00:58:54.070
He was

2050
00:58:54.649 --> 00:58:55.719
this celebrity.

2051
00:58:55.840 --> 00:58:56.080
Um,

2052
00:58:56.169 --> 00:58:57.879
I do not believe E Jean Carroll.

2053
00:58:57.929 --> 00:58:59.169
I will stand strong by that.

2054
00:58:59.250 --> 00:59:01.909
I know people that worked with her at Simon Schuster.

2055
00:59:02.370 --> 00:59:06.229
I think that was about the money and again more weaponization toward the president.

2056
00:59:06.870 --> 00:59:10.830
Do I agree with his sexual proudness as a young man?

2057
00:59:11.600 --> 00:59:12.340
No,

2058
00:59:12.919 --> 00:59:16.560
but did I vote for who he was 40 years ago?

2059
00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:17.659
No,

2060
00:59:18.159 --> 00:59:20.060
I voted to close the border.

2061
00:59:20.320 --> 00:59:23.060
I voted to stop the trafficking of children.

2062
00:59:23.360 --> 00:59:24.520
I voted.

2063
00:59:25.209 --> 00:59:25.219
For

2064
00:59:26.709 --> 00:59:27.689
other things

2065
00:59:28.030 --> 00:59:29.989
than who he was at 20

2066
00:59:30.110 --> 00:59:31.479
if that makes sense,

2067
00:59:31.989 --> 00:59:32.350
you know,

2068
00:59:32.550 --> 00:59:34.370
just like as of now.

2069
00:59:35.889 --> 00:59:37.379
If I wanted him as a pastor,

2070
00:59:37.459 --> 00:59:38.169
absolutely not.

2071
00:59:38.260 --> 00:59:39.800
He would not be my pastor,

2072
00:59:40.300 --> 00:59:40.639
but.

2073
00:59:41.429 --> 00:59:43.540
I think he's an intelligent man.

2074
00:59:44.040 --> 00:59:46.280
I'm never going to agree with everything that he does.

2075
00:59:46.360 --> 00:59:48.080
If he does something I don't agree with,

2076
00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:49.679
I have no problem calling it out.

2077
00:59:49.780 --> 00:59:51.060
I am not a diehard.

2078
00:59:51.320 --> 00:59:52.239
Everything he does,

2079
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:53.379
I agree with.

2080
00:59:54.139 --> 00:59:54.340
Um,

2081
00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:55.780
but

2082
00:59:56.120 --> 00:59:57.459
I think that

2083
00:59:58.040 --> 00:59:59.199
we're even seeing it now,

2084
00:59:59.280 --> 01:00:01.250
although this Graham Plattner guy.

2085
01:00:03.030 --> 01:00:03.330
Sorry,

2086
01:00:03.429 --> 01:00:05.149
I think there's a lot there,

2087
01:00:05.310 --> 01:00:06.540
a lot coming up there,

2088
01:00:06.949 --> 01:00:07.350
yeah,

2089
01:00:07.510 --> 01:00:08.050
but

2090
01:00:08.510 --> 01:00:09.169
I think

2091
01:00:09.469 --> 01:00:10.479
40 years ago,

2092
01:00:10.510 --> 01:00:13.590
had Trump been running for office and he was behaving like this,

2093
01:00:13.669 --> 01:00:15.689
I probably wouldn't have voted for him.

2094
01:00:16.070 --> 01:00:20.850
As an elderly gentleman who's been married to his wife for 25 years

2095
01:00:21.110 --> 01:00:24.850
who actually is very respectful to women when he meets them.

2096
01:00:25.310 --> 01:00:25.649
Um,

2097
01:00:25.790 --> 01:00:26.629
when he met me,

2098
01:00:26.750 --> 01:00:26.949
I,

2099
01:00:27.030 --> 01:00:28.449
I've never had a bad

2100
01:00:29.500 --> 01:00:30.209
bad

2101
01:00:30.310 --> 01:00:30.770
conversation.

2102
01:00:31.929 --> 01:00:32.810
With him,

2103
01:00:33.449 --> 01:00:34.030
so

2104
01:00:34.409 --> 01:00:35.610
it's kind of like.

2105
01:00:37.580 --> 01:00:37.780
You know,

2106
01:00:37.979 --> 01:00:38.090
I,

2107
01:00:38.139 --> 01:00:38.179
I,

2108
01:00:38.379 --> 01:00:40.379
and I hate to say locker room talk,

2109
01:00:40.500 --> 01:00:42.219
but I get around a lot of guys,

2110
01:00:42.260 --> 01:00:43.030
and heck,

2111
01:00:43.139 --> 01:00:43.629
I'll tell you,

2112
01:00:43.739 --> 01:00:46.080
get around some women sometime

2113
01:00:46.580 --> 01:00:48.000
in private

2114
01:00:48.219 --> 01:00:48.570
conversations,

2115
01:00:48.580 --> 01:00:51.479
and some of the things that I've heard women say,

2116
01:00:51.780 --> 01:00:53.320
I think would blow your mind.

2117
01:00:53.419 --> 01:00:54.280
And let's just

2118
01:00:54.659 --> 01:00:54.969
face it,

2119
01:00:55.020 --> 01:00:56.179
we're all fallible,

2120
01:00:56.429 --> 01:00:58.979
and we all say stupid things sometimes,

2121
01:00:59.419 --> 01:01:02.929
but I do not think that President Trump is a sexual abuser.

2122
01:01:03.179 --> 01:01:05.639
I think he had a lot of women thrown at him.

2123
01:01:06.110 --> 01:01:06.709
And

2124
01:01:07.090 --> 01:01:10.050
he took the opportunity as a young celebrity man.

2125
01:01:10.709 --> 01:01:11.270
Mhm.

2126
01:01:11.939 --> 01:01:12.260
Yeah,

2127
01:01:12.419 --> 01:01:12.620
well,

2128
01:01:12.699 --> 01:01:13.760
I appreciate you

2129
01:01:14.699 --> 01:01:16.209
slicing that up for me,

2130
01:01:16.340 --> 01:01:16.879
um,

2131
01:01:16.899 --> 01:01:17.830
because it is,

2132
01:01:18.060 --> 01:01:18.780
um.

2133
01:01:19.790 --> 01:01:21.510
Complicated and I agree with you,

2134
01:01:21.649 --> 01:01:21.830
you know,

2135
01:01:21.949 --> 01:01:24.929
there's a lot of accusations that are alleged and not,

2136
01:01:25.389 --> 01:01:25.939
um,

2137
01:01:26.310 --> 01:01:27.189
proven to be true,

2138
01:01:27.270 --> 01:01:28.889
so everybody should take

2139
01:01:29.310 --> 01:01:30.530
any extreme,

2140
01:01:30.800 --> 01:01:31.389
um,

2141
01:01:32.169 --> 01:01:34.689
Sense of certainty with uh.

2142
01:01:35.659 --> 01:01:36.520
A lot of salt

2143
01:01:36.909 --> 01:01:38.030
and um yeah,

2144
01:01:38.189 --> 01:01:38.439
Laurie,

2145
01:01:38.540 --> 01:01:39.370
this has been

2146
01:01:39.669 --> 01:01:39.830
really,

2147
01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:40.689
really interesting.

2148
01:01:41.379 --> 01:01:42.350
Really quick in closing,

2149
01:01:42.389 --> 01:01:43.979
this is what I wanna see.

2150
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:46.229
I wanna see the things that we agree on.

2151
01:01:46.310 --> 01:01:50.310
I think that if we really talk about things we all want what's good for our families.

2152
01:01:50.669 --> 01:01:51.590
We want housing.

2153
01:01:51.669 --> 01:01:52.600
Housing is a huge deal.

2154
01:01:53.560 --> 01:01:54.860
Instead of doing infill,

2155
01:01:54.989 --> 01:01:56.919
we've got a lot of state and federal land.

2156
01:01:56.989 --> 01:01:58.830
Let's do some infrastructure and build.

2157
01:01:58.989 --> 01:02:00.810
I think we could all agree on that.

2158
01:02:01.270 --> 01:02:04.149
I think that we all want to live our lives,

2159
01:02:04.270 --> 01:02:04.610
but.

2160
01:02:05.020 --> 01:02:08.280
Being a native Californian for my whole life,

2161
01:02:08.540 --> 01:02:10.959
I can tell you this state used to be amazing.

2162
01:02:11.090 --> 01:02:12.719
It used to be beautiful,

2163
01:02:13.179 --> 01:02:14.850
and it's not anymore,

2164
01:02:15.100 --> 01:02:17.639
and we need balance in this state,

2165
01:02:17.860 --> 01:02:18.399
so.

2166
01:02:19.239 --> 01:02:20.760
We need different ideas,

2167
01:02:20.919 --> 01:02:23.939
but we have to be able to come together to find that middle ground

2168
01:02:24.560 --> 01:02:27.189
where we can make life better for all of us,

2169
01:02:27.399 --> 01:02:29.300
and we should all be able to agree on that.

2170
01:02:30.100 --> 01:02:30.219
Mhm.

2171
01:02:30.520 --> 01:02:31.419
And you

2172
01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:33.860
live that practice because you show up

2173
01:02:34.360 --> 01:02:36.399
on jubilee sets and you do the work of,

2174
01:02:36.520 --> 01:02:36.790
of,

2175
01:02:36.879 --> 01:02:38.340
of having those conversations.

2176
01:02:38.830 --> 01:02:39.439
I would,

2177
01:02:39.909 --> 01:02:42.389
I know this won't be the last Jubilee video you're in.

2178
01:02:42.469 --> 01:02:43.810
I would encourage you

2179
01:02:44.110 --> 01:02:49.209
to show more of the nuance you showed me today in the next episode you're in because

2180
01:02:49.550 --> 01:02:51.060
I really enjoyed this conversation because I,

2181
01:02:51.070 --> 01:02:52.770
I feel like I got to know you a lot,

2182
01:02:53.179 --> 01:02:53.570
um,

2183
01:02:53.590 --> 01:02:54.159
better,

2184
01:02:54.290 --> 01:02:56.610
and I think a lot of your story

2185
01:02:56.739 --> 01:02:58.830
and your positions on issues,

2186
01:02:59.139 --> 01:02:59.679
um,

2187
01:02:59.909 --> 01:03:01.330
are probably not how.

2188
01:03:01.770 --> 01:03:04.679
I would have assumed that they're not what I would have assumed they were,

2189
01:03:04.770 --> 01:03:08.030
and they're probably not what I think a lot of viewers would have assumed they are

2190
01:03:08.290 --> 01:03:08.689
either.

2191
01:03:08.820 --> 01:03:09.139
So,

2192
01:03:09.239 --> 01:03:09.760
thank you for this.

2193
01:03:09.770 --> 01:03:14.000
I think when you get two different sides coming into a situation and you're all both

2194
01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:17.709
already heated and you know you got maybe 2 or 3 minutes to spit it out,

2195
01:03:17.969 --> 01:03:20.149
it's hard to have that conversation.

2196
01:03:20.489 --> 01:03:21.090
And honestly,

2197
01:03:21.169 --> 01:03:22.189
I always wish,

2198
01:03:22.330 --> 01:03:25.209
pick me for the last 10 minutes so we can actually talk,

2199
01:03:25.530 --> 01:03:25.719
you know,

2200
01:03:25.810 --> 01:03:27.270
and I'd love to do that,

2201
01:03:27.540 --> 01:03:29.760
show you how where it's like the 2 on 2,

2202
01:03:30.090 --> 01:03:31.449
never been chosen for that.

2203
01:03:31.979 --> 01:03:35.040
But I think a longer conversation sometimes

2204
01:03:35.620 --> 01:03:36.939
gets away from the.

2205
01:03:37.729 --> 01:03:39.139
The clips and soundbites,

2206
01:03:39.340 --> 01:03:40.060
so to say.

2207
01:03:40.810 --> 01:03:41.860
Mhm mhm

2208
01:03:42.340 --> 01:03:42.620
yeah,

2209
01:03:42.780 --> 01:03:42.899
no,

2210
01:03:42.939 --> 01:03:43.169
I,

2211
01:03:43.239 --> 01:03:43.899
I agree with you.

2212
01:03:44.100 --> 01:03:45.300
It's hard to get

2213
01:03:45.540 --> 01:03:46.080
in this

2214
01:03:46.340 --> 01:03:47.899
algorithmic media space.

2215
01:03:47.939 --> 01:03:48.149
It's,

2216
01:03:48.219 --> 01:03:50.800
it's hard to get the most valuable stuff to the top,

2217
01:03:51.260 --> 01:03:51.860
um,

2218
01:03:52.300 --> 01:03:53.199
but thank you so much.

2219
01:03:53.260 --> 01:03:53.959
This was great,

2220
01:03:54.379 --> 01:03:54.729
um,

2221
01:03:54.739 --> 01:03:55.260
I enjoyed

2222
01:03:56.179 --> 01:03:56.610
sending,

2223
01:03:56.689 --> 01:03:57.040
you know,

2224
01:03:57.219 --> 01:03:57.760
uh.

2225
01:03:58.229 --> 01:04:00.379
Good energy towards your husband as he goes through,

2226
01:04:00.500 --> 01:04:00.659
you know,

2227
01:04:00.750 --> 01:04:00.939
his,

2228
01:04:01.030 --> 01:04:02.300
his health journey and,

2229
01:04:02.310 --> 01:04:02.850
um,

2230
01:04:03.110 --> 01:04:03.189
yeah,

2231
01:04:03.350 --> 01:04:05.469
just wishing you the best and I'm sure we'll see you again,

2232
01:04:05.729 --> 01:04:06.540
see each other again soon.

2233
01:04:06.729 --> 01:04:06.750
Colin,

2234
01:04:07.500 --> 01:04:09.139

01:04:28.709 --> 01:04:29.370
you could be wrong,

2248
01:04:29.870 --> 01:04:30.510
so could I.

2249
01:04:30.669 --> 01:04:31.689
Keep your mind open

2250
01:04:32.080 --> 01:04:32.830
until next time.
