1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: All right, when are the Russia hoaxers going to start 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,440 going to prison? Why are the lefty radicals losing their 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,919 minds over a hot chicken jeans? And did Marvel just 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,679 release Hollywood's most pro life movie of all time? All 5 00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:29,440 that and more on the Kylie Cast.

We always love to hear from you. 13 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,840 Once again, we're going to talk about the latest in 14 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,759 Russia hoax news because once again the corporate media refused 15 00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:03,640 to and here's the bottom line, somebody's got to go 16 00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:04,280 to prison. 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: Someone's got to go to prisonman. 18 00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:09,079 Speaker 1: No, Barack Obama is not in the Oval Office anymore, 19 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,000 and John Brennan, James Comy, and James Clapper are no 20 00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:15,560 longer leading the Intel agencies, but their co conspirators in 21 00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:18,200 the corporate media are still keeping the coup on life 22 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,480 support and ensuring that the whole enterprise gets away with it. 23 00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:25,439 And in fact, Brennan and Clapper themselves came out with 24 00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:27,840 an op ed in none other than The New York 25 00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:31,239 Times on Wednesday where they purport to quote set the 26 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,439 record straight on Russia in twenty sixteen. The piece is 27 00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:36,920 a straight up lie. Of course. They're just assuming that 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,760 all they have to do is say no, everything was fine, 29 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,840 totally above board, and everyone who reads the Times will 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,680 just move on. But that can't happen unless the Department 31 00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:49,760 of Justice makes the perpetrators pay for their crimes against 32 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,200 the country. They will run the same play again and 33 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,400 again and again. How do we know this because this 34 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,079 is far from the only example of this type of 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,640 seditious cocaine conspiracy against the American people and our constitutional republic. 36 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,959 The intelligence community, media bureaucrats, and all three branches of 37 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,159 government have run a number of Russiagate like plays against 38 00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:14,560 the American people over the past few decades and specifically 39 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,680 the past nine years, And every time one concludes, a 40 00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:22,719 new one begins. Why because nobody is ever held accountable. 41 00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:26,560 Just think about Russiagate, the hoax rested on two main pillars. 42 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,800 One pillar was that Trump conspired with Russia to steal 43 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,879 the twenty sixteen election, and this claim was based on 44 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,560 the fake Steele dossier, and it basically died the day 45 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,680 that Special Counsel Robert Moehler gave his congressional testimony. But 46 00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:44,479 this pillar that Trump conspired with Russia was only possible 47 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,960 based on the other pillar, which is that Putin meddled 48 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,479 in the twenty sixteen election because he wanted Trump to 49 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,960 win and wanted Hillary to lose. Now, the newly declassified 50 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,319 documents from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA 51 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,479 Director John Radcliffe shatter that only remaining pillar. Those documents 52 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,719 reveal that the phony intelligence underpinning the entire hoax was 53 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,360 essentially ordered by Barack Obama and then manufactured by CIA 54 00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:19,199 Director John Brennan and the other intel chiefs. Right before 55 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,039 President elect Donald Trump began his first term, Obama intel 56 00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:28,120 officials scrapped reliable intelligence showing that sure Russia performed run 57 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:31,080 of the mill election medaling, but did not do it 58 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,080 to help President Trump, and instead they fabricated and rushed 59 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:41,080 intel saying the exact opposite that Vladimir Putin aspired for 60 00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:43,960 Trump to win the election. Now, this kicked off the 61 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,719 hoax that would completely hamsterring Donald Trump's first term in office. 62 00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:52,400 Like I said, this so called intel was completely bogus. 63 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,240 In fact, its central claim that Putin aspired to get 64 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,599 Trump elected was based in part on the Hillary Clinton 65 00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:04,439 fundation and completely discredited Steele dossier. Now we also learned 66 00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:07,759 from the newly declassified House Intel report that it was 67 00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:12,639 also partially based on a single vague sentence fragment from 68 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,160 an unknown source with unknown credibility, which five different people 69 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,759 interpreted five different ways. According to the report, when senior 70 00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:25,319 Intel officials warned CIA chief John Brennan not to include 71 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,680 in the final Intelligence Community assessment the claim that Putin 72 00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:31,800 aspired to help Trump because they had no evidence for it, 73 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,800 Brennan ignored them and included it because, according to him, 74 00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:39,480 it rang true. In other words, it supported Obama's sought 75 00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:43,040 after narrative. The House Intel report also cites an FBI 76 00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:46,879 analyst who divulged that leadership instructed them that they were 77 00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:50,959 to use anything they had to propel the Russia hoax. 78 00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:55,199 The analysts said, quote, we were to push this end 79 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,920 quote before the shoddy intelligence was ever even manufactured. However, 80 00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:03,160 the intelligence community leaked their predetermined conclusions to the media, 81 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,519 and this set the Russia hoax in motion. Now Democrats 82 00:05:07,519 --> 00:05:11,560 have run this type of playbook time and again, over 83 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,399 and over. Every time one dirty trick falls apart, they're 84 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,199 ready to deploy the next one, with their media enablers 85 00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:21,759 on standby. It was July twenty fourth, twenty nineteen, that 86 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,040 Special Council Robert Mohler testified about his Russia report to Congress, 87 00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:28,720 which was in many ways the final nail in the 88 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,000 coffin of the Russia collusion hoax. It was just very 89 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,720 disastrous for Democrats. The very next day, Trump made a 90 00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:40,000 completely normal phone call to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski, and 91 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,000 Democrats including Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi spun up the 92 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,240 call into a nefarious conspiracy to impeach the president, and 93 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,240 what do you know, The Ukraine impeachment hoax followed the 94 00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:55,000 exact same script as the Russia collusion hoax. So called 95 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,800 whistleblower Alexander Vinman filed a complaint against Donald Trump, alleging 96 00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:03,480 that Trump had committed various crimes during this call with Zelenski. 97 00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:07,240 But this complaint wasn't based on firsthand knowledge and hard facts. No, 98 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,920 this complaint was based on third hand gossip from unnamed sources, 99 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,680 media reports, and outright lies, much like the Steele dossier. 100 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,279 A transcript of the call between Trump and Zelenski showed 101 00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:22,319 just how ridiculous and false the complaint was. But the 102 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,160 media ran with it, Democrats ran with it, and for 103 00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:29,720 months the whole country was taken hostage by Democrats impeachment circus, 104 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,920 which of course ended in Trump being acquitted in February 105 00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:36,040 of twenty twenty. That acquittal was right after the first 106 00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,120 case of COVID had reached the United States, and just 107 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,120 one month later we were deep into the next conspiracy, 108 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,839 run by career bureaucrats and amplified dramatically by the Democrat 109 00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:49,959 run corporate media. Yes, the China virus was real, but 110 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:55,160 thanks to a coordinated fearmongering operation from bureaucrats, politicians, the media, 111 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,560 and big tech Americans were silenced, shut down, masked up 112 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,560 that capt home from school, kept home from church, kept 113 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,360 away from loved ones, and driven to isolation, mental health issues, 114 00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:11,079 and despair, among many other problems. Pretty much the only 115 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,800 people allowed any freedom whatsoever were violent Black Lives Matter rioters. 116 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,120 Remember when CNN ran a death toll Chiron while Trump 117 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,959 was president and in the lead up to the twenty 118 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,600 twenty election that conveniently trailed off after Biden took office. Meanwhile, 119 00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:28,439 US government agencies, with Anthony Fauci as the frontman, not 120 00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:32,120 only blatantly lied about the origins of the virus, but 121 00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:35,839 were actively funding the deadly gain of function research that 122 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,120 spurred the pandemic. If anybody wants to talk about collusion, 123 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:42,680 how about the Biden administration colluding with big tech companies 124 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,000 to censor content that rightly pointed out the inefficacy of masks, 125 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,959 for instance, and the risks associated with experimental mRNA shots. 126 00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:55,199 Or how about when Fauci and NIH director Francis Collins 127 00:07:55,519 --> 00:08:00,240 colluded to orchestrate a quote quick and devastating published takedown 128 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,040 quote of the Great Barrington Declaration, which was a document 129 00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:08,560 written by world class scientists that resisted the devastating lockdowns, 130 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,920 a declaration that has since been thoroughly vindicated by the way, 131 00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:14,920 and of course, Collins also gave the bad faith Washington 132 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,360 Post a bunch of quotes they could use to smear 133 00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:21,079 the dissenters as well, and this whole COVID theater was 134 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,360 of course a pretext to rig the twenty twenty election 135 00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:27,600 with a mentally and physically unfit candidate and able to 136 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,639 run a campaign from his basement, unmanned dropboxes, ballot dumps, quote, 137 00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:36,600 indefinite confinement and thus voting from home, mail in ballots, 138 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,639 ballot harvesting, last minute rule changes and ballots accepted after 139 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:44,120 election day, and of course the corporate media complex smeared 140 00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:48,039 as election deniers, whatever that means. Anyone who dared to 141 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,919 say that it wasn't the freest and fairest election we'd 142 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,039 ever had, What a joke. The gas lighting was truly endless, 143 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,000 and paired with the tyrannical COVID lockdowns, it was the 144 00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:02,120 predictable perfect storm for the DC protest and subsequent riot 145 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,879 on January sixth, twenty twenty one, and thus the next 146 00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:09,480 hoax was born. Elected Democrats, hand in glove with their 147 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:13,320 co conspirators in the media, produced prime time congressional show 148 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,679 trials with fabricated timelines and selectively edited video clips to 149 00:09:17,799 --> 00:09:21,200 smear Donald Trump and his supporters writ large as violent 150 00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:25,519 insurrectionists who carried out what Kamala Harris called quote, the 151 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,480 worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War end quote. 152 00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:31,799 This is the same Democrat Party, of course, that had 153 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,440 nothing but positive things to say during the deadly Black 154 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,480 Lives Matter riots that ravage cities across the country for 155 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,559 months in twenty twenty, and their J six narrative was 156 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,200 despite the vast majority of protesters not agitating or entering 157 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,200 the Capitol and many others walking through the Capitol halls 158 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,320 peacefully after police officers let them inside the building. That's 159 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,720 what the video evidence shows. But the facts didn't matter. 160 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,000 The fabricated version of events became the bedrock of law 161 00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:01,240 fair efforts not only against Donald Trump, but also against 162 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,039 innocent Americans who were just concerned about election integrity. And 163 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,440 the ensuing law fair followed the exact same playbook as 164 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,200 all the other hoaxes and hysteria I've already detailed. Prosecutors, judges, 165 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,320 and other Democrat partisans made up ridiculous reasons to go 166 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,200 after Trump and his voters, and the media laundered the propaganda, 167 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,840 once again, wasting Americans time and tax dollars and terrorizing 168 00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:28,679 law abiding citizens with threats of political retribution. It's the 169 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,759 same song, different verse, over and over and over. Unless 170 00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:35,320 you think this hoax playbook started with Trump, just think 171 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,480 back to the early two thousands and the inception of 172 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,039 the war in Iraq, which was essentially based on a 173 00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:43,039 hoax about weapons of mass destruction. Not long after nine 174 00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:46,440 to eleven, US intel agencies eagerly embraced made up or 175 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,559 thinly sourced intelligence about Iraq bioweapons and other stockpiles. Politicians 176 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,960 in the media ran with it, and the lies led 177 00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:56,480 us into the two thousand and three invasion of Iraq, 178 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,600 which cost thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. In 179 00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:03,080 many ways, it was like the Russiagate. Before Russia Gate, 180 00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:07,320 nobody was truly held accountable for the WMD LI or 181 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,519 the Russia hoax, or the Ukraine impeachment sham or COVID 182 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,360 lockdowns and censorship or twenty twenty election rigging or J 183 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:17,799 SIXX persecution or get Trump law fair and on and 184 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,320 on and on, and if nobody was held accountable for 185 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,240 hoaxes past, we can expect many many more hoaxes in 186 00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:27,480 the future. Thanks to Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe and the 187 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,039 years of diligent journalism. From a courageous view at the 188 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:35,559 Federalist and elsewhere. We actually now know who the primary 189 00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:38,159 perpetrators of the Russia hoax are. We know how it 190 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,759 got started, and we know who's to blame, and it 191 00:11:40,799 --> 00:11:43,240 is pastime for them to go to prison so that 192 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:55,080 this can never ever be allowed to happen again. All Right, 193 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,720 We usually have two pretty good reasons to talk about 194 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,960 Sidney Sweeney, but this week American Eagle gave us a third, 195 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,879 with an ad for great genes. Here to talk about 196 00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:10,679 it with me are three Federalistas, Abigail Nichols, l Pernell, 197 00:12:10,919 --> 00:12:12,919 and Ariel McDowell.

So I assume most 200 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,519 people by now have seen the American Eagle clip, which 201 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,279 I think is pretty close to a week old by now, 202 00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:26,000 But in case you haven't, here is what has everybody 203 00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:26,799 up in arms. 204 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 4: Jans are passed on from parents to offspring, often determining 205 00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:37,919 traits like her color, personality, and even eye color. My 206 00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:38,559 jeans are. 207 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: Blue, Sidney Sweeney, Kasburg Keynes. 208 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,279 Speaker 1: Okay, so there we have the little fun play on 209 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,360 words jeans g E n e s and jeans j 210 00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:51,679 e A n S. Sidney Sweeney has great jeans and 211 00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:54,759 great genes. Of course, people are all up in arms 212 00:12:54,799 --> 00:12:58,399 about it. They're saying that this ad is fascist, Nazi, 213 00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:00,960 it's playing into the history of you x and the 214 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,840 idea that white is right. What do each of you 215 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,240 think the core reason for this backlashes. Let's start with el. 216 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think, I mean, when's the last time 217 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,639 you saw a conventionally attractive blonde woman in a commercial? 218 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,080 Like it's kind of rare, And so I like, you've 219 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:28,519 had this this institutional capture in the advertising world where 220 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,240 like you're trying to show maximum diversity or maximum like 221 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,879 wokeness or whether and whether that's having like obese women 222 00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:41,600 on the covered Cosmopolitan or like trying to jam as 223 00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:44,799 many gender identities or races into a particular ad. This 224 00:13:44,879 --> 00:13:48,120 has been what all of the like marketing teams of 225 00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:51,320 companies have been encouraging their teams to do and then 226 00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:55,720 like by extension, pushing on consumers. And so that's that's 227 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,919 a control issue. And so now what this ad is 228 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,440 showing is that those people who have been pushing this 229 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,600 stuff don't have complete control over like the marketing industry, 230 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,799 the marketing industry, fashion industry, and by extension and consumers, 231 00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:11,080 and so that's why I think they're upset. 232 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:15,639 Speaker 2: I agree, that makes so much sense. I think the 233 00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:18,120 left wing narrative used to be for so long. Just 234 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,480 leave us alone, leave us alone if we have a 235 00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:23,039 fat person, leave us alone if we have a gay person. 236 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:24,919 Speaker 5: But now that's not even enough. 237 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 2: Now, just the fact that there is one ad where 238 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,519 the beauty angle is so obvious and it's not someone 239 00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:35,399 who obviously advocates any particular woke agenda, just that is 240 00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:37,679 enough to enrage them, which is funny because it's not 241 00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:38,600 pushing anything. 242 00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 5: It's just happens to be an attractive white model. 243 00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the idea is not people pushing anything. 244 00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:49,039 Speaker 4: Is really interesting because I feel like the loud, woke, 245 00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:56,200 knowledgeable people are so marinated in these like really extremist ideas. 246 00:14:56,279 --> 00:14:59,440 They're like on the witch hunt to find and to 247 00:14:59,559 --> 00:15:03,159 like out these meanings that aren't even really there, Like 248 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,799 the Nazi thing, it's not really there. They're they're just 249 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,840 trying to read into it and kind of take this 250 00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:11,279 stuff that's just normal, like just. 251 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,279 Speaker 3: American ego jeans. 252 00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 4: It's this really cute gen Z woman is wearing them, 253 00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:17,240 and they're just trying to spin into something. 254 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,679 Speaker 1: That's not but Abigail, she has blonde hair and blue eyes. 255 00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:22,919 How could it not be a Nazi dog whistle? 256 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,519 Speaker 4: Well, I mean the majority of the American Eagle buyers 257 00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:31,279 were also just gen Z women too, So you mean, 258 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,440 I think that's also kind of silly, But. 259 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, they certainly know their clientele for sure. I don't know, 260 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,600 l I don't think I've shopped much an American Eagle 261 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:42,159 since I was layering my lace camuseels on top of 262 00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:44,720 each other with a sweater, which apparently is coming back, 263 00:15:44,799 --> 00:15:45,279 is what I hear. 264 00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 3: We were having the funniest conversation among our Federalist staff 265 00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:51,960 the other day where like you could tell the generations 266 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,399 be like who is in what generation based on what 267 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,440 everybody's impression of American egle one Like the gen xers 268 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,120 and early Millennials had like a totally different impression, whereas 269 00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:04,759 like all of us, like older gen Z were like, oh, yeah, 270 00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,200 I mean American Eagle is like when we were in 271 00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:10,440 high school, it was indistinguishable from Hollister, like whether it 272 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,840 was the Polos with the big logo letters with like 273 00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:19,679 ripped edges or whatever, so like, yeah, it's hilarious, but 274 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,120 like it's not that creative of an ad. I don't know, 275 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,519 Like it's not the first time that people have made 276 00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:29,120 a pun on the word genes r not as creative 277 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,000 as like the Brookshields Calvin Klin ads in the eighties 278 00:16:32,039 --> 00:16:34,759 that it invites comparison to. 279 00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:38,039 Speaker 1: And is it the first time we've used attractive people 280 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,240 to sell products and even including American Eagle. Like I 281 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,879 remember when I was in middle school and we would 282 00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:47,120 go Black Friday shopping at the mall and out front 283 00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:51,120 of American Eagle, American Egle and Hollister were like shirtless 284 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,200 buff high school to like college age young men selling 285 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,320 American Eagle where and of course that was men instead 286 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,360 of women. But like we've always used people to sell clothing, right, 287 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,400 And I guess the misunderstanding. 288 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,599 Speaker 2: I guess the claim they must be making is it 289 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,279 says she has good genes. So if we're talking about 290 00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:12,240 the part of the meaning of that word that refers 291 00:17:12,279 --> 00:17:16,160 to genetics, the only possible interpretation is that the good 292 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,519 genetics have to do with being white. But if she's 293 00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:21,240 known for being hot, why can't the good genetics just 294 00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:24,279 refer to having good genetics? Because you're hot, I mean, 295 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,279 which is far less politically controversial, even if it's even 296 00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:28,079 if you managed to. 297 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,799 Speaker 5: Find that offensive. 298 00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. I wonder if there had been somebody 299 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,599 with any other skin, hair, eye color combination who had 300 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,400 been in the exact same ads, a conventionally attractive person 301 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,799 with just a different skin, hair, and eye color, whether 302 00:17:40,839 --> 00:17:43,519 there be any backlash about the fact that this person 303 00:17:43,559 --> 00:17:47,720 has good genes quote unquote. I also think another reason 304 00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:49,920 for the backlash might be. I mean, I think the 305 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,839 Trump era has truly broken so many people on the 306 00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:56,519 American left, and especially you know, you just think of 307 00:17:56,559 --> 00:17:59,000 the way that Trump and his supporters have been branded 308 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,279 as Nazi sympathize. There's neo Nazis, white supremacists, on and 309 00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:04,799 on and on it goes. It's like Democrats have really 310 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,480 and specifically the Democrat media, have conditioned people to see 311 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,319 Nazis everywhere they look, apparently up to and including just 312 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,200 a super hot brand spokeswoman. 313 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. 314 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,039 Speaker 3: I mean, so you have like the same people who 315 00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:24,279 are calling Trump and all of his supporters Nazis. Those 316 00:18:24,279 --> 00:18:28,079 are the people who are also calling the founding Fathers horrible, 317 00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:31,240 you know, racist, awful people, or those are the people 318 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,240 who are who are burning American flags and waving like 319 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,680 Mexican flags or Palestinian flags or Ukrainian flags or whatever 320 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,519 other country like these. The ven diagram of the people 321 00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:47,400 who use the term Nazi to like disparage anybody they 322 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,680 disagree with politically is an overlap with people who generally 323 00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:56,160 hate America. And so like the Sydney Sweeney at especially 324 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,920 like the one with the classic car, it's very retro Americana, 325 00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:01,519 and you have a lot of people who don't like 326 00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:05,039 that because they would like to see that retro Americana 327 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,160 that a lot of people do like, and it doesn't 328 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,000 make you a Nazi to like it. They want to 329 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,839 see that replaced with this kind of like globalist culture 330 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,960 that erases what a lot of people see as uniquely American. 331 00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:22,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, I also think this is so funny in light 332 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,920 of democrats desperate attempts to stop hemorrhaging young male voters 333 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,319 after the twenty twenty four election. I mean, they're reportedly 334 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,240 spending tens of millions of dollars to try to lure 335 00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:37,880 this particular demographic back into the party on podcasts and 336 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,759 whatever else, like trying you know, the Tim Waltz shtick, 337 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:42,759 and like the Pete Buddhajet stick where they all pretend 338 00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:46,000 to like be normal dudes even though it's very obvious 339 00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:49,519 that they're not normal dudes. And then their side of 340 00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:53,599 the aisle demonizes hot girls like Sidney Sweeney, and it's like, 341 00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:55,960 have they ever met a normal American? Do they know 342 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,200 what the boys that they're trying to lure back into 343 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,240 the party are into. 344 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,519 Speaker 3: So, I mean, I think it sounds like the political 345 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,400 the new political divide is you have, like the Republican 346 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,279 Party is represented by Sidney Sweeney, and then who represents 347 00:20:12,279 --> 00:20:14,359 the Democrat Party maybe like lam. 348 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: Huh yeah, slightly different standards of beauty there. I would 349 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,359 say both models maybe, but slightly different standards of beauty. 350 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,599 I'm curious, Abigail and Ariel, what so you're both in 351 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,960 gen Z. What has have your peers reaction to the 352 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,119 Sydney Sweeney ad been? Like, So, I mean, we've seen 353 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,160 liberal meltdowns from like random TikTokers with septem piercings and 354 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,440 just having like outbursts about the Nazi coded nature of 355 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,319 this ad. But what are you seeing on your social 356 00:20:43,319 --> 00:20:45,759 media and among your friends whatever group chats here and 357 00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:47,079 like what are your peers saying about it? 358 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 2: My peers, the ones I've talked to, are kind of 359 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,440 incredulous that it's even become a racial conversation because that's 360 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960 obviously not what she's referring to when she says good genes. 361 00:20:57,279 --> 00:20:59,880 Because I'm also around a lot of Christian women, they 362 00:20:59,839 --> 00:21:02,759 all so take other problems with the ad, Like, if 363 00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:05,359 you're going to find a problem with Sidney Sweeney or 364 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,920 the nuances of the ad, maybe the nuances of the 365 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,160 ad are not racially problematic, but problematic in some more 366 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,119 legitimate ways. So that's usually where I see the conversation 367 00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:17,519 steered as towards the sexualization. But they're like, there's certainly 368 00:21:17,559 --> 00:21:20,799 nothing racially problematic. You would have to pull that completely 369 00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:22,119 out of the hat. 370 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 5: Ludicrous. That's what I've heard from most girls my age. 371 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say that on Instagram reels, there's been 372 00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:32,119 a lot of just people mocking the ad in general 373 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,119 and the way that Sidney's speaking, like the like sensual 374 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,119 tone that she has. 375 00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 3: But in general, I. 376 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 4: Feel like on Instagram, I've yeah, I've seen a mix 377 00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:46,119 of some people who think the ad campaign did have 378 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,119 these like extreme undertones, but also some people just thinking 379 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,960 it's like so stupid and silly. And then a few 380 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,839 of my other friends who are Christian gen Z women 381 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,759 also think the ad is just way too sexual. And 382 00:22:01,839 --> 00:22:03,880 Sidney Sweeney, they already have problems with her. 383 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the bedroom voice for them, not the racial 384 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,799 eugenics undertones of it. 385 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,759 Speaker 2: I saw one video from a left wing influencer who said, 386 00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:18,640 quote it was something along the lines of even talking 387 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,559 about having good genes is automatically talking about eugenics, which 388 00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:24,079 is such a radical equivocation. 389 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,799 Speaker 1: That's crazy. Yeah, it's it's more like a bad dad 390 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,319 joke than it is a racial racial dog whistle. It 391 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,680 also just you know, it bears repeating that this is 392 00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:37,960 just all part of the general distaste for conventional beauty standards, 393 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,000 and we see this across I mean, this is not 394 00:22:40,079 --> 00:22:43,920 just about advertising. This is throughout American culture. It's why 395 00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:47,000 modern art has in many ways become so ugly. And 396 00:22:47,079 --> 00:22:50,200 you know, we used to have beautiful statues that would 397 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,359 commemorate great American heroes and then they're torn down and 398 00:22:54,400 --> 00:23:00,720 replaced with like Medusa looking shrines to abortion advocates, or 399 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,319 like overweight a statue to an overweight black woman in 400 00:23:05,319 --> 00:23:06,960 the middle of New York City or whatever it is 401 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,759 that we're erecting. That's just it doesn't actually reflect what's 402 00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:12,759 good and true and beautiful. It reflects something much uglier. 403 00:23:13,079 --> 00:23:14,839 And I think in many ways this ad is also 404 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,160 just like a knee jerk. It's just pulling America back 405 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,319 to where we already were for so long. You know, 406 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,400 it's like we slid toward toward glorifying morbidly obese people 407 00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:30,279 like Lizo or you know, Bruce Slash Caitlin Jenner on 408 00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:32,960 a magazine cover as like this is the model of 409 00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:36,000 female beauty. And it's like, no, no, people are over 410 00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:38,519 that that's not real. We all knew that was fake. 411 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,880 We were all just supposed to pretend it was good 412 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,480 and true and beautiful, but everyone knew it wasn't. And 413 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,759 so I do think that the Sydney Sweeney ad is 414 00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:49,799 also just part of an ongoing vibe shift. And I'm 415 00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:51,599 curious what each of you thinks about that. Do you 416 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,319 see the vibe shift? Do you think that the next 417 00:23:54,319 --> 00:23:56,000 American Eagle ad is just going to be as woke 418 00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:58,119 as as it was before? Do you think this is 419 00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,640 actually trending in a right direction? 420 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 3: Well, so about the your first half of what you 421 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,440 were saying about conventional beauty, that's something that requires if 422 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,880 you if you have an acknowledgement that there is such 423 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:16,799 thing as something beautiful, like objectively beautiful or conventionally beautiful, 424 00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:21,079 you're kind of that requires a meritocracy of beauty, Like 425 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,240 that requires one thing to be more beautiful than another thing. 426 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,400 And so I think that's why conventional beauty. And we 427 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,559 can have a conversation about whether Sydney's Weeni is conventionally 428 00:24:31,599 --> 00:24:35,960 beautiful or not, that's up free debate, But like to say, like, 429 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,319 oh yeah, we're going to recognize beauty in this woman 430 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,279 is to acknowledge that, like somethings are more beautiful than others, 431 00:24:43,319 --> 00:24:46,440 some women are more beautiful than others, and there's a 432 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,640 million different kinds of beauty, Like not all beautiful women 433 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,920 look the same. But that also doesn't mean that something 434 00:24:54,359 --> 00:25:02,440 you know, like legitimately ugly is like indistinguishable from something beautiful. 435 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,519 You know, if you have a woman who grooms herself 436 00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:07,200 well and takes care of herself, like she's going to 437 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,160 look more beautiful than a woman who like doesn't take 438 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,640 care of herself and like willfully makes decisions that are 439 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,640 unhealthy for herself or so that you have to have 440 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:24,720 meritocracy if you're going to have recognition of beauty, and 441 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,000 that's I think that's why it makes them so angry. 442 00:25:28,759 --> 00:25:31,000 The second part of your question remind you the. 443 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: Cultural vibe shift? Yeah, do you think that this is 444 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:35,680 actually indicative of a shift? Or is this just like, 445 00:25:35,799 --> 00:25:38,119 you know, are we just going along on a general 446 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,960 road down and we're just kind of like going over 447 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,200 a slight improvement that's like a hump that we're just 448 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,680 going to go right back toward our slide toward wokeness? 449 00:25:44,759 --> 00:25:46,519 Or is this like are we are we coming back? 450 00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:47,440 Are we back? Baby? 451 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 3: So if we are coming back, I don't think the 452 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,480 corporations are any indication, Like corporations are going to chase 453 00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:58,759 money when woke is in and delivers them money and customers, 454 00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:01,079 they're going to go with that out, They're going to 455 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,720 go in that direction. So I mean, maybe I'm a 456 00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:06,799 lot more hesitant than a lot of people to declare 457 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,240 cultural victory, but I certainly wouldn't look at the corporations 458 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:11,640 to do it. 459 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,599 Speaker 1: Although in some ways, and I think this isn't keeping 460 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,640 with what you said, but I do think the corporations 461 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,400 can reflect the trend in regular culture though, right, So, 462 00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:24,759 you know, if America is kind of coming back and 463 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,759 willing to say the thing like no, Sidney Sweeny is hot, 464 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,359 whatever her face, m Hoff is not hot, and like 465 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,759 you can say that out loud, then it's like, Okay, 466 00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:36,519 that's a sign that you know, maybe the corporations are 467 00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:38,920 not the one leading the cultural charge, but they're reflecting 468 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,880 something that's happening that's very real in American culture. What 469 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,920 do you think, Carriel, You look like you have something 470 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:44,279 to say. 471 00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 5: It would be nice to see, you know, the culture. 472 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,279 Speaker 2: I mean, I agree with el like the corporations are 473 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,279 just going to do with the money tells them to do. 474 00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:56,000 I don't think there are a bunch of executives over 475 00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:58,720 an American eagle who are like, you know what, I 476 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,319 want to pursue the true good and the beautiful, Like 477 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,960 that's not happening. They just recognize maybe that there is 478 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,160 a cultural shift. But I think a cultural shift is 479 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,160 only significant in so far as we're going further from 480 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,200 you know, personally ungodly things towards godly things, and if 481 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,240 we're pursuing sort of a godless conservative culture that could 482 00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:21,759 just go down its own type of wrong path, Like 483 00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:23,880 if there are two different wrong paths, it could go 484 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,519 down either way. So I would like to see return 485 00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:30,160 in a culture that like values good things, not just 486 00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:32,440 beautiful things. If we're talking about the true good, and 487 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,039 the beautiful good matters as much as the beautiful does. 488 00:27:35,319 --> 00:27:39,319 And there's nothing good about a sexual ad, so even 489 00:27:39,319 --> 00:27:41,200 if there is something beautiful, So it'd be great to 490 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,079 see a cultural shift towards all of those things. 491 00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 3: You think Sidney Sweeney conservatism has the same pitfalls as 492 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,279 barstool conservatism. 493 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great point. That's a great point. What 494 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,240 do you think, Abagail? 495 00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:59,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I'm very hopeful as well. Hopefully this 496 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,079 trend can be used to, you know, be stead fast. 497 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,440 But yeah, the corporation's following the money, and the money 498 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,880 was telling them that the stocks are going down, and 499 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,240 then now we've seen a very spike in that after 500 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,559 these ads were announced, and we've seen some fluctuation. But yeah, 501 00:28:17,599 --> 00:28:20,279 I'm hopeful that whether they're chasing the money or not, 502 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,200 like this will continue to be a reflection and the 503 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,920 customer base will continue. 504 00:28:24,559 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 3: To just I guess we like this stuff. 505 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,559 Speaker 4: We like the more American like this is American eagle, like, 506 00:28:31,759 --> 00:28:35,119 very Americana stuff, the vintage in the retro. I think 507 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,920 that's very trendy right now. I think there's some yearning 508 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,599 going on. It's like a term that a lot of 509 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,319 gen Z people are saying, you know, yearning for some 510 00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:49,839 sort of deeper emotional connection. And hopefully this well kind 511 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,160 into just just to show this deeper yearning for more 512 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,640 just tradition and American culture. 513 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,319 Speaker 1: I saw some interesting tweets, and specifically this one that 514 00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:03,799 I just kind of want to close out with here. 515 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,240 This is just this is just a perfect, perfectly epitomizes 516 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,480 this cultural moment. So if you're not watching, if you're 517 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,839 just listening, the tweet says, the same folks who are 518 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,920 outraged over Sidney Sweeney and jeans are the same folks 519 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,000 who want you to believe Dylan mulvaney is sexy and normal. 520 00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:24,599 And on the one side, you have Sidney Sweeney wearing 521 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,799 her American Eagle Canadian tuxedo on on the other side, 522 00:29:27,839 --> 00:29:32,680 you have Dylan mulvaney wearing I don't even know what 523 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,319 to call this a ridiculous, kind of scandalous half shirt 524 00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:38,799 crop thing and a weird. 525 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, took an Infinity scarf from like twenty years ago 526 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,240 into a tube top. 527 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,839 Speaker 1: Yeah. It looks like he borrowed the scarf from his 528 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,640 middle aged mom and wrapped it around himself. 529 00:29:54,039 --> 00:29:58,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, looks so like modest in those comparison like crazy. 530 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, she looks way less sexualized there than she 531 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,240 doesn't in the way that tries to portray it. But yeah, 532 00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:07,400 I just think you know, choose your fighter, right. Dylan 533 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,279 Molbany for budlet or Sidey, Sidney Sweeney for American Eagle 534 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,279 and you y'all made some really good points about the 535 00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:17,519 sexualization of the ad and maybe that's not the good, 536 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,920 but I do think that this is a win for 537 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,799 recognizing what is normal and beautiful. There's nothing wrong with 538 00:30:23,799 --> 00:30:26,799 putting a hot, hot chick on the on the front 539 00:30:26,799 --> 00:30:29,839 of an ad trying to sell some genes. So that 540 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,920 is just classic good advertising, and it's it's really good 541 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,039 to see a win for the normies, shall we say, 542 00:30:35,079 --> 00:30:37,559 if not for the Christians. So thank you all so 543 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,599 much for your insights.

Whether 553 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,640 it's happening in DC or down on Wall Street, it's 554 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,279 affecting you financially. Be informed.

There's really only one thing I 559 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,680 want to talk about, and that is the new Fantastic 560 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:29,559 four movie, Fantastic four First Steps. It's in theaters right now. 561 00:31:29,599 --> 00:31:32,440 It came out last week. I saw it basically a 562 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,839 week ago because I went on opening night with my husband, 563 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,200 and I've been dying to talk about it. It is, 564 00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:41,680 in a word, fantastic truly. If you haven't seen this movie, 565 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,519 you probably should make a plan to go see it, 566 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,200 or see it the minute that it comes out on 567 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,359 streaming whatever. You're into. It is a wonderful, wonderful film 568 00:31:49,359 --> 00:31:54,599 for so many reasons, and shockingly so because Marvel in 569 00:31:54,759 --> 00:31:57,799 the past. I mean, it ebbs and flows, but overall 570 00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:00,559 not that great, especially if you're not into super hero movies, 571 00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:04,720 which I am typically not. But I thoroughly enjoyed this 572 00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:09,240 film for so many reasons. For starters, the nineteen fifties 573 00:32:09,319 --> 00:32:13,480 futuristic aesthetic really charming, It worked so well. The score 574 00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:17,240 was very fitting with that super triumphant. The characters were 575 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,160 incredibly well developed, and the script was good, good dialogue. 576 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,279 It had a very easy to follow plot, which is 577 00:32:24,279 --> 00:32:27,279 a big deal for me. I get very annoyed at 578 00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:30,039 Marvel movies typically because they tend to be very bad 579 00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:32,960 at this, and maybe they're just they're bad at this 580 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,960 for people who are not really into Marvel movies, but 581 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,319 the fact that you need to have watched everything to 582 00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:42,400 see the next installment. I mean, I had not really 583 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,880 watched any Marvel movies until I met my husband, and 584 00:32:46,839 --> 00:32:49,279 I agreed to watch through them just so that we 585 00:32:49,319 --> 00:32:52,039 would have new movies to see, because the vast majority 586 00:32:52,079 --> 00:32:54,160 of movies nowadays that are in theaters or that people 587 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,920 are talking about are Marvel movies, and so we watched 588 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,440 through them and man, what us There is so much 589 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,960 you need to know, so many characters, so many storylines, 590 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000 so many details, so much suspending disbelief to understand whatever 591 00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:12,160 dumb sci fi thing is happening. There's just so much background. 592 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,160 And the great part about this movie is that, yes, 593 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,119 it will weave in with the rest of the Marvel universe, 594 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,680 but you can enjoy it in isolation. You don't actually 595 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,960 have to have all of the Marvel know how and 596 00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:27,359 background to enjoy the plot of this movie, and the 597 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,480 plot itself does not have a ton of moving parts 598 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,000 and a ton of like obscure ideas. It's super easy 599 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,960 to follow. So if you're a non non Marvel person 600 00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:40,160 like I am, then this is the Marvel movie for you. 601 00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:42,880 It also had really cute humor. There's this scene at 602 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,319 the very end spoiler but where three men try to 603 00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:51,480 put a car seat, a baby like car seat, into 604 00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:54,279 the car and it takes them so long and they 605 00:33:54,319 --> 00:33:55,960 are really having a hard time, and it's it's so 606 00:33:56,079 --> 00:33:58,640 cute and it's so relatable for anyone who's watched a 607 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,839 man try to handle a baby like that. Just truly darling. 608 00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:05,519 It also just nails the dynamics between friends and spouses 609 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,519 and extended family and colleagues, like each of the different 610 00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:12,199 relationship dynamics are really well done, and so if you 611 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,320 can get past all of Pedro Pascal's off screen antics 612 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,800 with his co stars and such, he's really wonderful in 613 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,880 the role of Mister Fantastic. But all of these great 614 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:26,639 things aside, the best part of the film by far 615 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,440 easily is its pro life message, and it's not a 616 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,760 side story. It is the entire point of the plot. 617 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,800 Warning if you haven't seen a film yet, you're gonna 618 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,039 hear some spoilers here, so bear with me. In the 619 00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:41,840 very first moments of the film, Sue Storm and read 620 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,559 Richard's the husband and wife astronaut duo that are mister 621 00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:48,400 and Missus Fantastic. They learned that they're having a baby. 622 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,280 She gets a positive pregnancy test, and now they had 623 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,119 been trying for years to conceive they gave up. And 624 00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:56,880 then she finally finds out that she's pregnant, and this 625 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,280 positive pregnancy test could legitimately have been some what have 626 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,840 a cause for concern because who knows what problems this 627 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,519 baby will have. Sue Storm and read Richard's have altered 628 00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:11,760 DNA because on one of their missions to space, they 629 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,039 were affected by cosmic rays that left their DNA altered, 630 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,800 and so that's what gives them their superpowers. But it 631 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,920 also creates a big question mark as to what is 632 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,599 going to happen with their child. Will he be deformed, 633 00:35:23,639 --> 00:35:25,599 will he be a monster? Will he just be a 634 00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:28,800 normal person that doesn't have any superpowers, or will he 635 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,159 surpass them all. There's so many questions, and in any 636 00:35:31,199 --> 00:35:34,199 other piece of modern entertainment, this probably would have immediately 637 00:35:34,199 --> 00:35:38,039 developed into a serious conversation about whether to keep the 638 00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:40,719 baby and the need to keep their options open and 639 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,920 to really really think through whether they could have a 640 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,079 child that would possibly be deformed or troubled or whatever. 641 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,039 There was none of that, none of that at all. 642 00:35:48,119 --> 00:35:51,400 They were excited about the baby, and everyone else around 643 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,960 them is also excited for them. They share in their joy, 644 00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:56,119 and there's just this posture from the very get go 645 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,440 of the movie that all of the main characters are 646 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,440 just gonna love and serve and protect this child. The 647 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,360 men immediately get to work baby proofing the home, with Herbie, 648 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,920 the robot sidekick, helping out there. They start tracking threats. 649 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,119 They're just doing everything they can to be prepared for 650 00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:12,280 this child and to love, serve and protect him. But then, 651 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,519 of course the plot thickens dun dun da. As Sue's 652 00:36:15,519 --> 00:36:20,119 pregnancy progresses, This other worldly herald called Silver Surfer comes 653 00:36:20,159 --> 00:36:22,559 to Earth to tell them that their planet is marked 654 00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:26,719 for destruction by Galactus. And Galactus is this giant, otherworldly 655 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:32,280 godlike being that basically exists by consuming full planets. He 656 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,159 has the sensatiable appetite and he consumes these planets, and 657 00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:36,639 so Earth is going to be the next planet that 658 00:36:36,639 --> 00:36:39,920 he's going to consume. So long story short read Richard's 659 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,960 tracks Galactus and the Fantastic Four with Herbie travel to 660 00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:47,239 Galactus's planet to negotiate with him there before he can 661 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,480 descend on the Earth to destroy it, and the Fantastic 662 00:36:50,559 --> 00:36:53,840 Four are captured and they have a conversation with Galactus 663 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,000 and he agrees not to destroy their planet in exchange 664 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,079 for Sue and reads on born child. And in response 665 00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:05,039 to this, Sue and Reid refuse, so they barely escape 666 00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:07,000 with the rest of the crew, and Sue ends up 667 00:37:07,039 --> 00:37:10,480 giving birth to Franklin, their baby boy in the spaceship 668 00:37:10,559 --> 00:37:13,320 on the flight home. When they return to Earth, of course, 669 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,159 their fellow New Yorkers are surprised and excited to see 670 00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:19,320 that Sue now is holding a baby outside of her body. 671 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,880 She's no longer pregnant, and the Fantastic Four have become 672 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,360 the Fantastic Five because Sue has given birth. So they're 673 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,239 all excited, that is until they learn about Galactus's terms, 674 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,719 and then they turn on Read and Sue and condemn 675 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:36,079 them for not trading their son's life to save everyone 676 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,599 else and all of their children. So Reid comes up 677 00:37:38,639 --> 00:37:40,800 with the plan to save Earth, and the plan is 678 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,960 to use this technology he's been working on to teleport 679 00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:47,760 Earth far away from Galactys. That plan is foiled by 680 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,440 Silver Surfer, and so Reid instead decides that he's going 681 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,599 to lure Galactus to Earth and then just teleport him 682 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:59,199 to a distant galaxy instead. Now unfortunately, when Galactus gets 683 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,920 to Earth, he outsmarts the team and he captures Franklin 684 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,679 and so Sue, in a final last ditch effort to 685 00:38:05,679 --> 00:38:08,400 save her baby, concentrates all of her power into a 686 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,320 force field to save her son, which unfortunately takes her 687 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,719 own life. That is until Franklin touches her, and his 688 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,840 as yet unknown power brings Sue back to life, which 689 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,320 I think is a really beautiful metaphor for how children do, 690 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,800 in many ways give life to adults by giving them 691 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,760 a higher calling of sacrifice, causing them to mature and 692 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,840 just basically become new people and infusing their lives with 693 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,480 new meaning. So, in case it wasn't obvious from my 694 00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:39,559 rundown of the plot, the sanctity of life permeates every 695 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,679 aspect of the film. Like I said, Read and Sue 696 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,559 immediately resolved that they're going to protect their unborn child, 697 00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:48,239 despite not knowing what problems he may or may not have. 698 00:38:48,639 --> 00:38:52,480 Not only that, but several times throughout the film, several 699 00:38:52,519 --> 00:38:56,199 different characters refer to Read and Sue's unborn son, not 700 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,599 as a fetus or a potential person or any other 701 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,280 us for a human life, but as a child. They 702 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,400 call him a child, which inherently recognizes his humanity. In fact, 703 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,360 there's this scene where Reed is giving Sue an ultrasound, 704 00:39:10,679 --> 00:39:16,159 and because she has this invisibility power she shows through 705 00:39:16,199 --> 00:39:20,119 her abdomen, she makes her abdomen invisible, showing Reid and 706 00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:24,119 the entire audience her fully formed son in all of 707 00:39:24,159 --> 00:39:27,079 his humanity while he's still in utero. I think the 708 00:39:27,199 --> 00:39:31,440 film Unintentionally also does a really great job at fighting 709 00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:35,599 back against the abortion argument that abortion is okay as 710 00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:39,280 long as it's necessary to save the life of the mother, which, 711 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,840 of course, anyone who is pro life will tell you 712 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,119 that abortion is never necessary to save the life of 713 00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:46,599 the mother, because when we talk about abortion, we're talking 714 00:39:46,599 --> 00:39:50,039 about elective abortion. We're talking about the intentional taking of 715 00:39:50,159 --> 00:39:53,719 human life. Whereas sometimes if a mother and a baby's 716 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,400 life are in conflict, the mother will get treatment to 717 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,199 save her own life and a baby will unintentionally lose 718 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,440 his or her life in the process. That is not 719 00:40:01,519 --> 00:40:03,639 what we're talking about when we're talking about elective abortion. 720 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,320 We are talking about intentionally taking an unborn child's life. 721 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,679 But there's this life of the mother argument that just 722 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,559 comes up all of the time among pro abortion advocates. Well, 723 00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:16,960 in the film, there's the moment when Galactus captures Franklin 724 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,079 and Sue knows that she is expending all of her 725 00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:23,599 power to save her child, or not even to save 726 00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:25,760 her child, but just a chance at saving her child. 727 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,280 She has no idea if she might lose her life, 728 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,559 and her child is still captured, but she is doing 729 00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:33,480 everything she has at this potential that she can save 730 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,960 her baby's life, and it kills her, and she has 731 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,760 no idea that her son can revive her. And I 732 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,000 just think it's a beautiful, beautiful, like retort to this 733 00:40:42,159 --> 00:40:46,719 idea that a mother's life is inherently more valuable than 734 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,679 the life of her not yet sentient child. So those 735 00:40:49,679 --> 00:40:52,920 were each different moments in the film, but throughout the 736 00:40:53,079 --> 00:40:55,960 entire movie, it's very clear that the Fantastic Four are 737 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,519 not just motivated to save the planet, but more fundamentally, 738 00:40:59,599 --> 00:41:02,639 they're all motivated by a desire to save the child. 739 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,679 Every choice they make is about protecting him and caring 740 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,840 for him and saving his life. There's this other, really 741 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,400 subtle conservative messaging that's amazing. JD. Vance a few months ago, 742 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,920 if you'll recall, he was talking in an interview about immigration, 743 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,039 and he articulated that there's this Christian concept called the 744 00:41:21,159 --> 00:41:25,239 Ordo amoris or the order of loves, where a Christian 745 00:41:26,159 --> 00:41:29,800 has different orders of responsibility toward the people around him. 746 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,000 So his responsibility and his loyalty are first and foremost 747 00:41:33,079 --> 00:41:36,239 owed to God, and then they're owed to his immediate family, 748 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,440 and then to his extended family, and then to his 749 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,840 church community, and then to his community at large, and 750 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,400 then to his state and blah blah blah, and so 751 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,480 it just goes out and out and out, and that 752 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,599 you cannot do everything for everybody, and so there's this 753 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,639 order of loves to a sort of a hierarchy, a 754 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,599 prioritization to how we love and care for the people 755 00:41:55,639 --> 00:41:58,320 around us. Jadvance got into some hot water over this. 756 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,079 The Left blasted him. Conservaive were like, yeah, he's right, 757 00:42:01,079 --> 00:42:04,559 but the Left blasted him, And I just love that. 758 00:42:04,599 --> 00:42:08,960 In Fantastic Four, Galactus presents the Fantastic Four with the 759 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,000 trolley problem. They say, you know, you can save everybody's 760 00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:13,760 life over here if you just take this track and 761 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,880 give me your son. And instead of indulging this philosophical game, 762 00:42:19,199 --> 00:42:22,400 the Fantastic Four respond in actions, if not in words, 763 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,159 with the Ordo Amorris and I just love that. Jdvans 764 00:42:25,199 --> 00:42:27,960 got blasted by this just months ago, and now a 765 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,320 major Hollywood blockbuster is accidentally promoting it. So long story short, 766 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,679 Fantastic four First Steps is the most pro life Hollywood 767 00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:40,119 blockbuster in a very long time, maybe ever, if you remember, 768 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,599 Dune Part two was known for being pretty pro life, 769 00:42:43,639 --> 00:42:46,039 and this just blows it out of the water. So 770 00:42:46,119 --> 00:42:48,639 that's really saying something. I am sure that the Marvel 771 00:42:48,679 --> 00:42:51,880 creators did not set out to make a powerful case 772 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,000 for the sanctity of life, but that is just what 773 00:42:54,079 --> 00:42:57,480 happens when you make good art. Good art reflects reality, 774 00:42:57,519 --> 00:43:01,639 and the reality is that life is valuable. Unborn life still, 775 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,119 human life, still immensely valuable, and we have a duty 776 00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:08,400 to protect it. So the movie is unmistakably conservative, not 777 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,320 because it tries to be. It's not in your face, 778 00:43:11,079 --> 00:43:14,239 but because it shows what is good and true and 779 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,519 beautiful for exactly how good and true and beautiful it 780 00:43:17,559 --> 00:43:19,880 truly is. I have a piece about this on the 781 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,519 Federalist website, so if you haven't seen it yet, definitely 782 00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:24,480 go check it out. And if you haven't seen a 783 00:43:24,519 --> 00:43:27,000 movie yet, make a plan to go see Fantastic four. 784 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,519 First Steps. All right, that's gonna do it for me today. 785 00:43:30,599 --> 00:43:32,880 Thank you so much for tuning into the Kylie Cast. 786 00:43:33,199 --> 00:43:35,880 I will be right back here next week with more. 787 00:43:36,159 --> 00:43:39,719 Until then, remember the truth hurts, but it won't kill yet.
