Bethany Mandel, co-author of Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Destroying A Generation , sits down with Bridget for a frank conversation about motherhood, abortion, and why the gender identity debate always seems result in women paying a price. They discuss the odd disparity between the the idea that men will do anything - except lie about their gender - coming on the heels of the #metoo movement, how much of this is starting to get on the radar of the normies, how people are willing to risk the safety of other people’s children in order to not run afoul of their peers and risk being called a bigot, and the danger of girls being taught that even if they’re uncomfortable they have to stay quiet. They also cover the disdain for the average taxpayer, why most of the amazing feminist voices against the gender ideology are coming from the UK, how totalitarians try to capture a society by ideologically indoctrinating children, using the term "antisemitism" as a weapon, the staggering rates of illiteracy among children due to Covid, and why we need to radically reinvent the American classroom.

Adam Coleman sits down with Bridget to discuss his book Black Victim to Black Victor: Identifying the ideologies, behavioral patterns and cultural norms that encourage a victimhood complex. They talk about what motivated him to write and self-publish the book, how its success took him by surprise, how growing up without a father impacted him, the effect of not having a dad on young men, what fathers need to teach their sons, how his own son helped him realize what he had missed out on, how certain corners of the internet view competent men, the holes in right wing male ideology, and how there’s no path to redemption in the extreme forms of our political discourse. They cover the importance of resisting nihilism, the "body count" topic, why there should be more discussion around the male responsibility in the choice to have a child, his experience raising his son, why conservatives don't reach out the the black community, the upcoming election, how being super online distorts your perception of reality, why it’s good to be wrong every so often, identifying the hills you'll die on, if a return to normalcy is possible, and why employing victimhood narratives are dangerous because then people just wait for a savior.

E282. TikTok Is Ruining Comedy - Blair Socci

Comedian, former cab driver, and current Host of FOX News Saturday Night and radio program FOX Across America, Jimmy Failla joins Bridget for a hilarious conversation about their respective working class backgrounds, why driving a cab is the original social media, how Trump is the only way 15 year old kids can be counter-culture today, why a lot of people on the Left are intellectually lazy, and why "likes" are the death of everything. They discuss being new enough to media that they genuinely care, how everybody is a prisoner of the moment, the importance of comedy, the lack of self-awareness in society, the shamelessness of today's culture, how most late night shows have abandoned their calling to entertain the masses, how Trump will never quietly go away in the night, why family privilege is so valuable, and why fun conquers all. Check out Jimmy's new book, Cancel Culture Dictionary .

E281. Race To the Top of Mt. Clickmore - Jimmy Failla

4-Term Congresswoman, U.S. Army veteran, and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard sits down with Bridget to talk about her new book, For Love of Country: Leave The Democrat Party Behind. She and Bridget discuss making people on both sides angry, why people feel threatened when someone tells the truth, being grounded in God, when Democrats stopped talking about God, being open to shifting your opinion as you learn more, witnessing an extreme radicalization of the Democratic party, and who actually holds the power in D.C. They also cover the flaws in our voting system, the possibility for a 3rd party candidate in this election, why she wants to do away with the Department of Education, focusing on the fundamentals of who we are as a country, how nihilism is a one way train that leads to nowhere, being grateful for the opportunities to serve, why we should be willing to engage with people with different backgrounds and different mindsets, and why she still feels hopeful because the real power in this country lies in the hands of the people.

E280. How To Save America - Tulsi Gabbard

Comedian Arielle Isaac Norman returns to the show and she and Bridget have a frank conversation about gender, gender dynamics, gender politics, and balancing female rights with trans rights. They cover refusing to dogmatically fall in line with the orthodoxy of whatever the LGBTQ community is saying, when the narrative really started shifting from gender dysphoria to a denial of biologic reality, how the trans community was essentially written a blank check by all the good liberals and what they did with it, no longer being able to have open discussions about difficult topics, the importance of protecting women and female spaces, the importance of being kind and respectful but still being able to ask questions, and when the trans movement really started to feel like a cult. They also discuss the oppression hierarchy, the realities of taking hormones, the Austin comedy scene, getting in touch with their emotions, and why it’s so important for people to be honest with their opinions about gender at this point. Don't miss Arielle's new comedy special Ellen DeGenderless premiering April 4th on YouTube.
