This one gets HEATED. At AmFest, Sean sits down with Hannah Faulkner for a rapid-fire conversation that hits the biggest culture-war flashpoints people are arguing about right now—child medical policy, free speech, online propaganda, education, and the pressure cooker that’s shaping Gen Z politics. They talk about: ⚪Why the country feels like it’s in an information war ⚪The fight over banning medical procedures on minors and how legislation is being framed (including the Protect Children’s Innocence Act) ⚪Whether foreign influence + bot activity is distorting what Americans think they’re seeing online ⚪The breakdown of civil dialogue—and why “comments sections” aren’t real life ⚪Why school, debt, and delayed adulthood are creating a pressure trap for young people This isn’t a safe, polished conversation. It’s raw, direct, and exactly the kind of debate people either love… or can’t stand. ⏱️ Chapters / Timestamps 0:00 – Cold open: the most controversial claim 0:33 – AmFest ener...

A
Love or hate, Marjorie Taylor Greene, this is one thing I totally agree with her on, making it a felony that if you chemically castrate or mutilate a child, as a doctor, it is a felony. I believe it's a crime.
B
Yeah.
A
It takes a very sick, perverted individual to go in there, to take a scapula to cut off the healthy breast of a young. This is irreversible. I mean, the stories and you. Finally, Richard Dawkins, an atheist, a biologist, recently came out on an ex saying that this is not compassionate.
B
You know, you messed up when even the atheists are calling you out, huh? Okay, guys, Here at amfest with Hannah, a crowd favorite on the show.
A
Oh, my goodness. Sean, thank you so much for having me back on. I'm a big fan of your podcast. I'm always amazed with your skills to sit there and interview literally every single person on every side, every religion that you could possibly think of. It's very impressive. Appreciate you having me on the show.
B
Of course. Always. How are you feeling about the energy this year at MFest?
A
Man, I just got here about 30 minutes ago, and, I mean, coming down the escalator, looking at the, you know, Charlie Kirk sign. I am Charlie Kirk. It's surreal. I mean, we're. We're in the greatest country, the United States of America, and a political hero. Not even a political hero, but just a man who stood up for what he believed in, started an organization, Turning Point USA, at 18 years old. I mean, I'm 18.
B
Yeah.
A
To think about that and the fact that 12 years in, 30 years old, 30, almost 33. They murdered him. They took his life. It's pretty surreal. And I think it just shows you that they're not just. They're not after Charlie Kirk. They're not just after Charlie Kirk. They're not just after President Trump. They're after every single one of us as conservatives and people who just stand up for what we believe in and this great country. I think it's just really surreal to be here.
B
That's exactly how I felt when it happened. I was like, if they're taking him out, yeah, it's. Any of us could be next. You know what I mean?
A
Yeah. I mean, you see what happened at the university this past week. That young girl, and specifically knowing that she was targeted for her conservative values, who was a vice president at a Young Republicans group at her college campus. I mean, and how many are being reported, right? I mean, there are so many stories that if you get through the weeds, I mean, things that aren't even reaching the headlines.
B
Universities hide so much. I want, I remember when I went to university, like a kid overdosed and that didn't get, get any media attention.
A
I mean, so much, not even beyond just political violence, but just like you said, kids overdosing on drugs or committing suicide because of something they saw. I mean, now, I mean, the suicide rate for kids being sex torted online, I don't know if you've seen that. And that's become a massive epidemic of kids being extorted online by, you know, video games or social media apps where predators coming, where children are predators, of course, are going to be there also. Yeah, it's sad. It's a really heartbreaking place that we've reached in our country, in our world, because I mean, obviously what we're facing in our country is not just unique to America. It's happening all across Europe, it's happening all across the world. And I mean, I've met people in airports that are from Sweden and they'll tell me, you guys, it's, it's what's happening in Sweden. Young girls literally carrying knives to defend their lives. I don't know if you saw that video where that young girl was being threatened by an illegal immigrant in Sweden, threatening to rape her and to assault her and she was holding the knife and then they end up going after her.
B
Wow.
A
And so I was talking to these people in the airport and they're from Sweden. They said, I don't think people in America realize how close we are to a war. Like a full boat. I mean, we already are at war. They have already declared war. I mean, they're killing our military. And you know, who is it? Who is, who is waging war against the American people? Who is waging war against the conservatives? And I would just say those are, there are those that hate America. I mean, you've got the jihadists, the Marxists, the communists, the feminists. I mean, you've got those that hate God. All of them rallying together. Most of them don't even agree. I mean, the feminists and jihadists do not agree on anything. Right. But what they do agree on is their hatred of the United States of America. And that's what we're seeing.
B
Yeah, yeah, I know you've attacked the feminist over the years.
A
Yeah, I'm excited to come back tomorrow and have a friendly conversation. What is her actual name?
B
Kyla Turner.
A
Kyla Turner.
B
Yeah. She's known as not so Eurodite.
A
Yes.
B
She debates on feminism all the time. It's Going to be an interesting conversation.
A
Yeah, I'm excited. I think it's. It's needed. Especially after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I mean, this man literally stood up for what he believed in, advocated for freedom of speech, advocated for civil dialogue. I mean, that's why he was going to these college campuses. And that's what we need more of. We need more influencers, more content creators. Going to college campuses, doing. I started doing man on the street recently.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
And it's been encouraging. It's been eye opening. And it's just given me so much insight to what my generation really thinks about this country. I mean, going to college campuses, asking young kids about socialism. Right. Many of them don't even know what that even means. They are voting for Mom Donnie blindly. And then. So then they do know what socialism is. And they're either pro, you know, socialist country or anti. So it's eye opening. And once you start having those civil dialogues, I think it's very eye opening. We need to have that. We need to have civilized, civil dialogue.
B
Did you see the young female percentage vote on Mamdani specifically?
A
85%.
B
It was really high. It might have been in the 90s, actually.
A
I wouldn't be shocked though.
B
Yeah, definitely 80s, 90s, depending on the age range, but it was crazy.
A
Well, anything. I'm not really shocked by that, I feel, because this continues to be a trend, right. We look at the 2020 election. I think we talked about this last time I was on your podcast. 76% of women voting Democrat. So this is a. A continuation. But I think what was more shocking to me, it's shocking, but it's also just a direct result of allowing anyone and everyone to come into your country. And you're going to see the consequences of that. 65%, at least of Mom Donnie supporters were not born in the United States of America or were not from immigrants. America. Yes.
B
That's bad.
A
That should honestly, you know, scare us. And I don't have a problem with legal immigration. Right, yeah. But there obviously is a takeover of America. And I mean, I remember getting on Newsmax and there was a young girl, I cannot remember her name. She was a leftist. She was actually Jewish, her ethnicity was Jewish. And she was totally in support of Mom Daddy. She couldn't vote for him, but was flying down to Mamdani and we went on Newsmax together and she said, you keep mentioning that he's a Muslim. Right? You keep mentioning that he's a Muslim. He. He's a communist. Right. But his Muslim religion has nothing to do with his campaign. And, you know, it makes you chuckle because you think everything about his campaign is in relation to his Muslim faith. That I personally don't believe it's a religion. I believe it's masking itself as a religion to gain religious freedom in the United States of America, specifically. I mean, even Thomas Jefferson warned during the Barbary wars, in our negotiations, specifically, our first negotiation with a Muslim nation was Morocco. And the Moroccan Muslim leader was offended by something that Congress did. And so they started seizing our American ships.
B
Wow.
A
Killing our American soldiers, our American pirates. That's why they call it the Barbary Wars. And Thomas Jefferson said that we should be very weird, we should be very concerned and keep our eye open for these Muslim nations because they call themselves a religion, but it's more. More of an ideology.
B
Yeah. And it does seem like they're trying to spread to the west now.
A
Oh, it's everywhere. I mean, Europe. The most. One of the most common names in Europe is Muhammad. They're outbreeding Christians that are outbreeding, I mean, every other ethnicity religion in Europe. And it's coming to America at a very alarming rate. I mean, I think it was 55. At least 55 Islamists were elected in the previous election this past November.
B
Wow.
A
Across the country. That's crazy. They're running all over the place. Look at Dearborn, Michigan. There was recently. Did you see that rally? The Americans Against Islamification rally?
B
No.
A
In Dearborn, Michigan.
B
Doesn't surprise me.
A
Jake Lang was there. He was a January six defendant. And I don't agree with everything he stands on, but I definitely align myself with the fact that he recognizes there's a concern. There is a takeover of America by an ideology that believes world peace is Islam being the number one and only religion. Right. And they always say that they're the religion of peace. Well, how do we get to Islam making peace? Well, two ways, ultimately. You either convert or you pay the tax, or the third way is they kill you.
B
Yeah.
A
And so I think right now, I mean, they've even said this Muslim Brotherhood out of their own mouth has said they're not taking over America right now by the sword. They're taking over America by the vote. And I think that that's really eyeopening even when you listen to them.
B
Yeah. I mean, logically, it's probably the only way to take over America because we got the best military. Right. You're not going to win by force, so you got to be covert when you're trying to Infiltrate our country.
A
I think what's concerning to me, I mean, obviously I'm 18, I haven't been along around this earth for, you know, very long. But I think a quick look at history can teach us a lot. The fact that two of our very own National Guard members in our nation's capital were killed the day or one was killed. The other one, as Janine, Judge Jeanine has said, he's is total miracle that he's alive. He's walking, he's talking standing up. But they shot at two of our National Guard members. Killed one of them in Washington D.C. the day before Thanksgiving. That is a war on our United States military. That is a war they have declared, officially declared war. These are two. That was an Afghan national that came over under the Biden Harris administration during the disgraceful Afghanistan withdrawal. And we kind of saw this coming. Like we saw literally hundreds of thousands of them coming over on the planes. And conservatives, I mean Jack Fosovic, even Charlie Kirk, he was warning about this. Yeah, Charlie. I remember months leading up to his assassination was warning about the Islamification of the west. And I'm excited. I feel that probably a couple months ago, not very many, there's this new.
C
Technology floating around that people cannot stop talking about. It's called the light system. Before you roll your eyes, it's not some gadget you strap on or supplement that promises the world. Every once in a while I come across something that actually stops me in my tracks. And the light system is one of those things. This isn't a supplement. It's not a biohack. It's a full on energy environment built to help your mind and body synchronize, recharge and operate at a higher level. It uses light patterns, color frequencies and coherent energy fields. All the stuff that your body naturally responds to to create a coherent energetic field around you. People are saying they feel more clear, more centered, more aligned in their environment. And honestly the science behind it is fascinating as I've seen a lot of wellness tech. But the numbers coming out on this new study of the light system are actually insane. Researchers measured human chic cells before and after sitting in front of the system. And get this, a 30 minute session boosted see Cellular Conductivity by 61. The study even showed increased conductivity in isolated DNA which is associated with stronger structure and better repair pathways. The result, More clarity, more balance and more alignment.

A
Sean, people were talking about it, but now it Seems to be that a lot of people are talking about it.
B
Yeah, that awareness is the first stage, right?
A
Well, people are getting tired of it. They're tired of hearing article, headline after headline of another Islam individual, Islamic individual killing someone, raping a young child. I wrote an article the other day on a specific story that happened in Seattle, Washington, where a man last month killed his wife, murdered his wife in his bedroom because he suspected she had dishonored the family by having an affair. And he told the police that this was an honor killing because he is a Muslim. He follows the Quran, the Hadith and Sharia law, and believe that it was the honorable thing for Allah to kill his wife. And so people wonder, like, how in the world is this happening?
B
Right?
A
This is the United States of America. We don't condone honor killings. Well, when you adopt and you accept a ideology like Islam and you want to be tolerant to it, that's what's going to happen in this.
B
I mean, look at Bondi Beach. Look, did you see the terrorist attack? They just stopped in Cali. I think four guys got arrested.
A
I mean, every week there's a new. I mean, I'm so grateful for what the FBI is doing. And I believe that there was another terror attack that was being played in New Orleans, in. Well, also in Australia that the Australian government and intelligence was able to stop. So.
B
Wow, I didn't know about that one.
A
But yeah, there's just so many. You can't even keep up so much going on. I mean, it's an information war. Yeah, 100%.
B
Do you feel like Christianity is under attack too?
A
100%. I mean, Christianity is the number one most persecuted people, group and religion across the world. I mean, look at Nigeria right now. You've got Nigerian Christian organizations and just organizations, period, that recognize that there is a threat against Christians in Nigeria right now. They're warning that there's going to be a massive massacre either before or on Christmas Day in Nigeria. Over 50,000 Christians have been slaughtered in the last 20 years. 300 school children, Christian school children in Nigeria were kidnapped last month. The Nigerian government's denying it. You look at Uganda, Sudan, Syria and Syria. There's of course Jewish community. There's a Dru community that's being attacked, minorities. So I mean, it's not just Christians, but obviously Christians by and large. It's all across the world.
B
Also Jewish people, I feel like, is a massive group being targeted.
A
Those are the two most persecuted people groups. Yeah, I mean, the Jewish, Jewish faith and the ethnicity. Well, it's Interesting. Judaism and the idea of like someone being Jewish, it's very interesting. It makes it so unique because you don't have to be a religious dude to be a Jew.
B
Right.
A
I mean, I was just talking to some people out there and they said they had shirts on that said Jesus was Jewish.
B
I saw that.
A
Are you guys Jewish? They said, yes, we're followers of Yeshua. I'm like, oh, you're Messianic Jew. So they believe in Jesus.
B
Interesting.
A
So there's so many different parts. It's so in depth.
B
Yeah. It confuses me, honestly. So many different types of Jewish people. It's like you can't, I guess, lump them all into one.
A
But that's why people always say the Jews are, you know, running the media. Right. The Jews are running big pharma. I had someone come on my show the other day and said that Jews are running big pharma. It's like, what do you mean by that? Because there's a lot of people who mask themselves as Christians who are doing evil things and doing things that I totally disagree with. Same things with any religion or faith. But to say that are controlling the media or controlling the world I think is a very disingenuous statement. Once you start pulling back layers, of course there are evil people. Look at George Soros. He is a Jewish person. He is not a religious Jew. He's a secular Jew. He's Jewish by his ethnicity. But he is literally funding these pro Palestinian rallies and protests. So clearly he's, you know, voting and funding his own demise. Right. So that's why it's confusing to people. But once you start pulling back layers.
B
Yeah, starts to make sense. It's wild. Like I'll have on a pro Israel guest, I get hit with a $7,000 comment from a week straight.
A
The $7,000. Oh, I got that. I met with BB9 Yahoo and oh.
B
I saw, I saw that. Got to meet us a group of you guys, right?
A
Yes, it was a like group of eight people. So here's the interesting thing about that meeting. I find this so interesting because there were multiple meetings that happened that day in New York City after the UN meeting where BB Net and Yahoo spoke at. And so all of these ignorant, those that claim, claim to be those exposing propaganda, but are actually the ones creating propaganda. I like to say that weren't even there, that had no idea, decided to lump everybody into the same group and was saying that all of these people were paid. And I don't know, maybe there are some that are paid. I don't know. I don't know if Tucker Carlson's paid by guitar. I'm not gonna accuse him of being paid for by guitar. I have no evidence of that. And I personally haven't done, you know, any research into seeing if he's paid for by guitar. But I think this idea of, oh, you're being paid for by someone, oh, you've been bought by this government, it's a valid concern. But everybody's getting paid by someone indirectly. Or these people here, all of these influencers, speakers, they're getting paid by someone. They're working with an organization. Yeah, I'm sure another country is involved in that organization. That's not what matters to me. What matters to me is what are they fighting for? What are the values and the beliefs that they're fighting for? Now, if they're wishy washy on their values and what they're talking about, it's maybe not that should be a topic of concern. Yeah, but if they're consistent on what they're talking about and they just wholeheartedly believe in it and they're getting paid money to do what they believe in, then sure, like that's become their job. Right. But the BB9 Yahoo thing, that was really interesting. And this skyrocketed after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Like the anti Semitism and frankly, antisemitism is just a fancy word for Jew hate, right? Yeah, the Jew hatred is literally out of control. And I've read your comments. Juice box emoji. Juice box emoji. It's like if you're gonna comment that I do not take you seriously. I do not take you seriously. If you're commenting. A juice box emoji to reference that you disagree with me. I'm not taking you seriously. Okay, the 7K, where did this even come from? I mean, 7K, which, that's a great number. Right? Like it's got to be a millionaire.
B
Yeah, I'd be a millionaire just off those if that was the case.
A
Yeah, it's, it's interesting.
B
7K, a video I post like 10 a day.
A
Yeah. Social media has been, it's been a blessing, but it's also been a curse in many ways. And it has completely removed the in person conversation face to face. Yeah, There is no way someone's gonna come to my face and say all of these things. You're a war criminal. You've, you know, betrayed the conservative. No, they just comment those things online. They forget. People forget. They're literally talking to a human being.
B
100 on the other. I've never had real life. Hater.
A
Yeah.
B
And I've gotten tens of thousands of hate comments. Never in person, though. And you, you talk to guys like Tate, you talk to guys like Fuentes, they say the same thing. Nobody comes up to them and nobody isn't that crazy. It makes you wonder if these bot farms are actually real.
A
Well, did you see that new X feature where it now tells you where these.
B
The country.
A
Yes. The country of Or.
B
That was a great feature.
A
Yeah.
B
Especially that they announced it. They, like released it unannounced.
A
Yeah.
B
That was like genius.
A
I loved it.
B
Because then you couldn't hide it instantly. Yeah. But all these accounts were from other countries, so what the hell was up?
A
Well, it was, it was interesting, but it's also, again, like, not shocking.
B
Yeah.
A
I mean, this is stuff that conservative activists and commentators have been warning about for a long time about foreign governments and foreign leaders involved in the United States. Now, of course, a lot of them saying that we're all harping on Netanyahu and the nation of Israel. And listen, I'm coming on your podcast, there are things that I have issues with the Israeli government about. Okay. I mean, October 7th, same thing of what Charlie Kirk was asking.
B
Yeah.
A
Many Jewish people have the same question. Many of those that were there on October 7, that were at the music festival, that were at their kibbutz, that were being attacked by Hamas terrorists.
B
Yeah.
A
They have the same question. They want to know. I mean, I actually, in my meeting with Bibi Netanyahu, his own son came into the meeting. This was a three hour meeting, by the way. This wasn't like a ten minute shake your hand, thank you so much for what you're doing, blah, blah. No, this was a. We're asking serious questions. Why is there a fracture in the conservative movement on the topic of Israel? What's got to change? What. What are you doing in Israel that's making Americans upset? And even Yair said that there are many questions that they have about things that happen in Israel. Just because something bad happens in the nation of Israel doesn't mean it's all Netanyahu's fault. Right. There are bad things happening in America right now under President Trump. That doesn't mean it's President Trump's fault. We've got a very corrupt justice system. We've got so many judges that are trying to block President Trump's very principled executive orders and executive actions. I mean, deporting illegal aliens. Look at Abrego Garcia, Ms. 13 gang member. And this judge wants to keep him in our country. And then some conservatives want to blame that on Trump. No, it's not Trump's fault that this is happening. This is corrupt, deep state justice system that we're talking about. Same thing that's happening in Israel and frankly, probably every single other country that's been taken over by them. So I think we aren't, we aren't digging deep enough. We love to go to the surface. We find videos on social media, and this is what I always encourage to my peers and those around me. If you find a video on social media, like, don't stop there, get books. And I love that you do this. By the way, you posted a picture the other day on your story that you read one of your guest books. Yeah, I never see people do that. I never see. Rarely these days, actually read their guest book and go through it and read period. I mean, I was at an influencer meeting actually three weeks before Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I was with him for a two day period. And he asked all of these influencers, when was the last time you guys read a book? Yeah, literally nobody in this room, in that room read a book. They're like, oh, I don't remember the last time I read a book. These are like some of the top influencers in the conservative movement. They aren't reading, they aren't researching, but then they're the experts on the subjects. Right. So we have a huge problem in the conservative movement of people finding random clicks or videos on the Internet, taking it as fact, and then doing no further research. And young people that have no idea anything about politics are buying into it. And then now it's, it's becoming total chaos. And I'm definitely playing into the fracture in the conservative mood.
B
Yeah, thank you for bringing that up, because I've actually never had someone speak on that.
A
On, on the lack of research.
B
Lack of research, yeah. But it's an issue because you could get away with it at first, but I think over time people catch on.
A
Yeah, you know, of course. And, and I always tell people if there's something I don't know about, like if you ask me a question about Russia and Ukraine, if I don't know about it, I'm not gonna, I'm gonna say, hey, Sean, I don't know about that. Yeah, I haven't done enough research in it. I'm not gonna act like I know about it and leave it a fat people respect. I respect when people say, I haven't done research on that topic. I'm not gonna comment on it.
B
Yeah.
A
But when you try to act like you know what you're talking about or you've done the research.
B
Agreed. Does not make you look 100% agree with that. Was that the Hamptons meeting you're talking about? The infamous Hamptons meeting? Yeah.
A
Maybe we shouldn't post.
B
I don't know. Okay, I'll cut that out. No, I had. I had Xavier on and he was.
A
Talking about it, but he's publicized it. I haven't.
B
Sorry. I'll cut it out.
A
Yeah, that's fine.
B
Yeah. What was it like? I guess learning from Charlie over the years.
A
Man, he's the reason why I'm here today. I mean, I, of course, the ruler of God, grace of God, my amazing parents in my life for raising me in a godly structured home. But I got involved with Turning Point when I was 13, in 2020, started a Turning Point USA chapter, had events here and there, then ended up doing the Teens Against Gender Mutilation rally, where we had Chloe Cole, who actually spoke at the announcement today with RFK Jr. Wow. Announcing that we're going to go harder on banning child mutilation and chemically castrating the next generation, which. Interesting fact. One of the most used chemical castrations that they use on these young kids that think they're the opposite sex is Lupron, which is a chemical castration that they used to use, and some states still use it very rarely on sex offenders. And they actually banned it in many states, stopped using it on sex offenders in many states because it was too harsh. Right. It was too, too over the top. But of course, it's perfectly fine for young kids and young teens like Chloe Cole, 13 years old, she was put on Lupron. That's crazy, because they told her, do you feel like the opposite sex? You should go. Go forth with this.
B
So can you still mutilate your child's genitals these days?
A
Yeah. I mean, in California, it's completely legal.
B
Wow.
A
So, I mean. And we're having problems. Of course. You had the Scrametti case that went to the Supreme Court. And this is the problem. A lot of people think the fight's over. Right. President Trump signed an executive order. No. Men and women's sports fight is not over. It's literally just beginning. An executive order is great, but it doesn't work unless Congress actually puts forth the effort and sends a bill up to the president to sign into law.
B
Yeah.
A
So that's why we're still having all of these girl sports problems. Child mutilation across the country, which thankfully, Marjorie Taylor Greene actually just got her Protect Children's Innocence act passed. Oh, in the house last night. I believe it was.
B
Let's say farewell, farewell gift to everyone.
A
Yeah. Love Marjorie Taylor. Or love or hate Marjorie Taylor Greene. This is one thing I totally agree with her on, making it a felony that if you chemically castrate or mutilate a child, as a doctor, it is a felony. I believe it's a crime.
B
Yeah.
A
It takes a very sick, perverted individual to go in there, to take a scapula, to cut off the healthy breast of a young.
B
Yeah. A breast.
A
A little boy.
B
Yeah.
A
Or to chemically castrate them. This is irreversible. I mean, the stories and you. Finally, Richard Dawkins, an atheist, a biologist, recently came out on an existing saying that this is not compassionate. It's the same thing that we as Christians, as conservatives, have been demonized for saying for decades. An atheist, a biologist, finally came out and said what we've all been saying, that this is not biological, this is not scientific, and it's actually not compassionate at all to let out the healthy breasts and genitals of children.
B
You know you messed up when even the atheists are calling you out, huh?
A
Yeah. I mean, they realize that we've taken it too far.
B
Yeah.
A
And now we're seeing, like you said in the beginning, these young kids committing suicide or really regretting what's happened in their life. I actually hosted or helped get a, a good solid group of young people to a two way educational meeting. It was, you know, very private. We capped it off at like, you know, 20, 30 kids to come out there and talk to Taylor Winston. He's a Marine. Ex Marine. Once Marine, always a Marine, though. Mass shooting survivor at Las Vegas shooting. You should have them on your show, actually.
B
Las Vegas, Yes. Oh, was that the Mandalay Bay one?
A
Taylor Winston.
B
Okay.
A
At the, the, this concert, I think.
B
Yeah, I think that was the Mandalay Bayone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
Same one saved over two dozen lives that day.
B
Wow.
A
Anyways, come to find out, obviously the Las Vegas shooting was on pharmaceuticals, ssri.
B
Yes.
A
I mean, this is a constant trend. Taylor Winston, going back to the meeting, we brought in all these young people and he starts sharing about SSRIs, the common trend of pharmaceuticals and violence and these mass shootings that are occurring and you start pulling back the layers. And a lot of these kids, I would say over half of the kids in the room, Christian conservatives, had all been on or were currently on an anti depressing or anti anxiety medication. And you Ask, like, what these. All these kids are involved in the church, they're heavily involved in their communities, come from very stable strongholds. Nothing was really wrong with them. They just went to their doctor for their yearly checkup. And the doctor's like, oh, you need, you need an antidepressant. And from a personal experience, my sister was paralyzed in a freak swimming accident when she was seven years old. And they wouldn't let her see any of her siblings. They wouldn't let her see me, my sister and my brother for several weeks. And she was, like, getting angry. I mean, she was having, like, very moody, like, just upset. I mean, she's paralyzed from the chest down. Just lost all feeling in her. Her legs is stuck in a hospital bed. You won't let her see her siblings. Like, of course she's going to be a little angry. She's going to be a little upset. And my parents said, please let her see her siblings. And they said, no, she needs antidepressants is what she needs. And parents like, no, her antidepressants are her family. And this is what the medical industry is doing time and time again. They're capitalizing on the vulnerability and the weakness of families in the hospital when they're coming in there and they say, oh, you have, you have this problem. We've got the fix for you.
B
That is crazy.
A
So, so much. I mean, frankly, I try to stay out of, like, on my own personal social media, I try to stay out of drama going hard on, like, Nick Fuentes. I totally disagree with them, like, wholeheartedly, but I don't know how much it's going to help anyone to just go on that. And we've got, we've got Democrats trying to legalize kidnapping. I mean, they've already tried to do that. Yes. Where you go in. Because they tried to, to use this idea that, oh, parents are being deported. Right. And so kids are going to be left in schools. Who's going to pick up the kids? And so they're literally allowing this bill. I think it's AB495. In California, of course, lies, kidnapping.
B
How did I know?
A
Under the guise of, oh, the conservatives are deporting the parents, so he's going to come get the kids.
B
That sounds like it would.
A
But nobody's talking about that.
B
Yeah, Never even.
A
Nobody's talking about the fact that we've got Senator Scott Weiner wanting to legalize child sex slavery where you can purchase a minor at 16, 17 years old in California. Scobie's talking about this stuff.
B
I Need to look into that guy.
A
Oh, man. Yeah, he's, he's an interesting character. He constant proponent of men and women's bathrooms, men and women's sports, putting feminine products in men's bathrooms at schools.
B
Jeez.
A
Yeah, he's quite an interesting character with an interesting last name too.
B
Yeah, what a name.
A
Considering he's only fitting, advocating for all of this degeneracy crazy.
B
Do you still think public schools are dangerous for children?
A
Oh, yeah. I mean, at this point, if your kid is a conservative, this is like one of the most dangerous places to be on a college campus and in a public school, it's big dangerous zone. And people want to mask it as this idea of, oh well, it's a mission field. But it can't be a mission field for your kid if they don't even know why they believe in what they believe in. And I think we talked about this briefly last time I came on your show, but so often parents think they're sending their kids off to a mission. Especially Christian conservative parents think that this is a mission field for their kids. They're going to go off to kindergarten to through high school, be in public school and be this light in the darkness. And that's a great idea. But your kid really doesn't know why they're pro life. They don't really know why they're a conservative, why they're a Christian at that age. So how are they going to be that voice in the conservative or in the public schools? But plus, it's just for me personally, I wouldn't be on your podcast right now if I weren't homeschooled. I, I mean, I, when I was in sixth grade, I did two, two school years in one because I was homeschooled. And then when I was 15, I started my associates through Liberty University. So I did my online associates in high school, graduated from high school with my associates at 16, then graduated with my bachelor's at 18 and now I'm doing a master's.
B
Wow.
A
None of that. I would not be traveling the country, meeting with Netanyahu, race motocross if I weren't homeschooled. And I'm not saying everybody has to do it that way, but you're setting yourself up for failure. If you want to go the typical way the system has you going, it's too slow. Yeah, I mean you're literally in a full time job from 5 years old to 18 years old, then you leave your parents house from 18 years old to 22. If you're going to college, you're going to be stuck at college. By that point. You might have 3, $4,000 saved up if you did a summer job, then you graduate at 22 years old, you're looking for a job. The job market is crazy. It's thin, it's hard to find a job. You're trying, you're just scrubbing to make ends meet. You're still living off your parents dime.
B
Yep.
A
The system is failing. Education is not a scam, but the, the educational system is a scam.
B
Yeah.
A
The system of how they want us to do things is what is failing the next generation.
B
Yeah.
A
And I think until we recognize that, and I tell people this all the time, I said, they say how can I do what you're, what you're doing? How can I own a business or you know, I guess just get more successful faster in life? And I give them here, this is what you gotta do. Leave public school immediately. Private school, it's still great, but you're still going about the way that the system goes. Eight hours of school a day, then you do sports after. No way to invest your time and energy and real estate or learning about things that really matter. And they don't want to do it. So you have to have the intrinsic motivation to want to do it. You know, you can learn all these things from Grant Cardone or any of the other great guests you have on your show, but if you're not willing to intrinsically say yes, I'm willing to sacrifice a few things, a few night out with my friends to work hard.
B
Then yeah, it's not for everyone, but it definitely is. Like women are scared to have kids now I think because they're graduating with all this debt and they want to tackle that first, but they also want to have a family at the same time. It's like it's an issue, you know.
A
Well, this is, I again, like you said, I'm glad you brought that up because I have to be more compassionate in this area. Everybody is called to do something different. Right. It might not be the same way that I'm doing things. I, I still think you can evade the way that the system is recommending you to do things and still go a different route. But I am meeting so many young girls who will probably never use their degree.
B
Yep.
A
Getting married with 60,000 plus dollars in debt. Actually talked to a young girl who is grad. She just graduated, she didn't even graduate. She had to drop out because she got married and has like $35,000 in debt. And it doesn't seem like, in theory, as like that big of a deal, but for something that was basically a waste, you didn't even get to get the degree, right? So online school is truly the best way to go. Like, if you want to save money while learning extra things and get married and have a family and also pray about it. If you're a Christian, pray about it. Really ask the Lord what he has for you in your life. But again, like you said, not every. Not everybody's going to go the same route. But if you want to go to college and still have a family, get married, I would say do online school. It's like one of the best options. That's what I've done, so clearly works.
B
I think when I have kids, I'd rather them listen to podcasts, listen to books, have a mentor, whether it's me or someone else.
A
And I will say this too, I have learned, frankly, maybe like 10% of what I'd say, actually like 5% of what I know from actual school, right. Even in a master's program at a conservative Christian college, than what I have, like the 95% from my own. Again, going back to research is so important for the books you read. The people you hang out with will become half the person you are 100%. And so choose wisely.
B
