So the J.D. Vance, Joe Rogan episode was released yesterday evening and it was truly fascinating. J.D. was smooth. He was personable. I think Joe Rogan clearly liked him. And here's what I loved about it.
Politicians tend to be really careful. They're slick. They're polished. They don't want to put their foot in their mouth. And that works for a lot of people. It's not authentic, but it can get you pretty far in politics. But if you want to be a true leader, if you want to inspire people and get them really excited, create a movement.
of passionate people, you have to be able to tap into the zeitgeist. You have to be brave enough to tell the truth, even if it isn't culturally kosher. And that's what J.D. Vance did throughout the entire Joe Rogan interview. J.D. and Rogan actually openly discussed autogynephilia, which if you don't know what that is, I'm going to let Joe Rogan explain. The problem with
The problem with that is people, there's a psychological condition called autogynephilia. And autogynephilia is where men are sexually aroused by the idea of dressing and behaving like a woman, but they're heterosexual. Now all of a sudden, these people with this known psychiatric disorder
are allowed to just identify as a woman and you're a bigot if you don't let them change the women's rights. - And you're expected to empower them at the expense of young women who are very often much more vulnerable for obvious reasons than young men. - That conversation could never be had via a corporate media platform. And it's true. There are cases of transgenderism in men that's actually a fetish that we've known about for a long time.
The Daily Wire did some reporting on Leah Thomas a while back, the individual who swam against Riley Gaines, and it appeared to suggest from the reporting that he has autogynephilia. But again, this is something that we aren't allowed to openly talk about, but it needs to be discussed because of stories like this one. A trans-identifying man is suing a Hooters franchise for discrimination
Because they refused to hire him based on his quote image. Drop a comment. Can you understand why Hooters wouldn't be interested in hiring a man identifying as a woman? Now, the man has filed a claim with the New York State Division of Human Rights who investigated and found evidence that his so-called rights may have been violated.
Now, before, and this is important to understand about this case, before openly identifying as a woman, this man went to the specific Hooters pretty frequently. And according to the Hooters, he frequently harassed the female waitresses and reportedly asked servers to marry him, discuss masturbation.
So after harassing staff as a man, he turns up to the restaurant, dresses a woman and demands a job and then reports the establishment when they refuse to hire him. This is why we have to be able to have frank conversations about this issue. You don't have a human right to work at Hooters after harassing female staff. That's absurd. And America is sick of being speech policed on this topic.
Now, J.D. Vance discussed something else that is pretty taboo, this time among Republicans. He talked about how destructive Ronald Reagan's amnesty law was to this country. Take a listen.
- These states blew forever. The same way they've done California. - Exactly. And we saw this, and look, I'm like a Reagan guy, right? I'm a conservative Republican. But Reagan screwed up a lot. He screwed up mental health in this country. People don't talk nearly enough about that. - The amnesty thing he really screwed up. - The amnesty thing he really screwed up. And people always say, well, you know, Ronald Reagan, you know, when they, critics of Donald Trump will say, well, look at how Reagan talked about immigration. Because of what Ronald Reagan did,
the 1986 amnesty, California is now effectively a permanently blue state. Except when Arnold won. But Arnold ran as a super moderate Republican. Arnold has endorsed Kamala, by the way. He was a major celebrity, right? He was at the height of his celebrity power, and he still won barely, even though California had been mismanaged. California is a one-party state because of Ronald Reagan's amnesty. And that's the fear, is that the entire country could become one party. The entire country becomes that.
Now, like J.D., I don't hate Ronald Reagan. I don't think he was a bad president. Got really bad presidents. Ronald Reagan is not one of them. But we should be allowed to evaluate Ronald Reagan holistically. Legalizing 2.7 million people was a bad move. And J.D. is right. It lost us California forever. And Republicans lost a ton of power in Congress because of the changing demographics thanks to the amnesty bill.
And I know what Reagan defenders always say, "Well, the Democrats promised Reagan immigration reform." Yeah, they did. And you know what? They lied. Because legal immigration and mass amnesty only benefits Democrats. That's Reagan's bad. You never trust the left. And you especially don't trust them to fulfill a promise that's beneficial for them to break. Another controversial topic that J.D. openly discussed
was that he was apparently injured by the COVID vaccine. Take a listen. I took the vax and, you know, I haven't been boosted or anything, but the moment where I really started to get red pilled on the whole vax thing was the sickest that I've been in the last 15 years by far was when I took the vaccine.
And I've had COVID at this point five times. I was in bed for two days. My heart was racing. I was like, the fact that we're not even allowed to talk about that, even, you know, no like serious injury, but even the fact that we're not even allowed to talk about the fact that I was as sick as I've ever been for two days and the worst COVID experience I had was like a sinus infection. I'm not really willing to trade that.
And you don't even, you know, everybody that I know, a lot of people I know, they talk about the second shot that they got of the vaccine was really, made them really, really sick. Well, that's a side effect and not a side effect that we even talk about enough in this country. So many Americans, people that I know, friends of mine who went to college, who wanted to play in sports and not deal with the vax mandates, they were bullied into taking the COVID jab.
And then they were bullied into silence when they were injured by it. I know people who were injured by it. It was just horrific. And here is our VP candidate validating this for all of us, in spite of all the gaslighting from the government, Big Pharma, the corporate media, which, by the way, the corporate media is bought by Big Pharma. You know who else has been willing to talk frankly about Big Pharma and health and COVID? RFK Jr.,
And the media has come after him so hard and it's no wonder why. Every time you see an ad for some drug on a cable news channel, they aren't selling you the drug, they're buying the TV stations. So the corporate media has smeared RFK Jr. as a nutcase and a fearmonger that Donald Trump is going to make him some sort of dictatorial health czar.
And yet no one is discussing how the Biden Kamala admin couldn't be more anti-science and anti-human health. Per a report from the Washington Examiner, the USDA Nutrition Guidelines Committee is secretly planning to declare a war on meat after the election.
And by the way, the panel's members are funded by Coca-Cola, Nestle, you know, companies truly, truly committed to human health. Not. And Bill Gates also happens to be funding this panel.
And this war on meat infuriates me because humans need protein. Literally nobody, nobody disputes that high protein diets are ideal for human flourishing. And yet our ruling class continually demonizes meat, particularly red meat, which happens to have all the essential amino acids present for a complete protein source. Steak is a superfood. But to appease the climate hysterics, the Biden-Kamala USDA
is willing to sacrifice human health. And it's incredible that the media is getting away with this demonization of RFK Jr. because what he's promised to do under a new Trump admin is incredible and should be completely bipartisan. Take a listen. These agencies, the FDA, USDA, CDC, all of them are controlled by giant for-profit corporations. 75% of the FDA's funding doesn't come from taxpayer, it comes from pharma.
And pharma executives and consultants and lobbyists cycle in and out of these agencies with President Trump's backing. I'm going to change that. We're going to staff these agencies with honest scientists and doctors who are free from industry funding. We're going to make sure the decisions of consumers, doctors and patients are informed by unbiased science.
A sick child is the best thing for the pharmaceutical industry. When American children or adults get sick with a chronic condition, they're put on medication for their entire life. Imagine what will happen when Medicare starts paying for Ozempic, which costs $1,500 a month and it's being recommended for children as young as six, all for a condition, obesity, that is completely preventable and barely even existed 100 years ago.
Who can argue with that? Stop incentivizing our federal agencies to promote bad health advice and standards because they're funded and staffed by Big Pharma and Big Food, which makes money off of sick people and food addiction. And if we had a healthy media apparatus, everyone would realize how deeply corrupt the Kamala Biden admin is, how corrupt the Kamala campaign is. Kamala is on the side of the climate cult, which is destroying farms.
And that brings me to my next story. Dairy farmers in Denmark now have to pay the world's first carbon tax on their livestock beginning in 2023, all in the name of the climate crisis that does not exist. And like here in America, small and mid-sized farmers are already struggling in Denmark. So what this measure will do is ensure that farms shut down.
Now, Kamala won't admit this on the campaign trail, especially because she has to win over capitals of meat production like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, all swing states. But she would love to do what they're doing in Denmark here in America. We can't forget about who Kamala Harris is. She was the co-sponsor of the Green New Deal. Here she is on camera saying that she wants to limit meat consumption.
in terms of creating incentives that we will eat in a healthy way, that we will encourage moderation, and that we will be educated about the effect of our eating habits on our environment. And we have to do a much better job of that, and the government has to do a much better job of that. We have... Yeah. So, I mean, I'm just saying, you love cheeseburgers. I mean, we all do. I don't know whether... I mean, you know, from Texas...
Try the Beyond Burger, the Impossible Burger. They try, but it's not quite the same. That's my personal opinion. But would you support changing the dietary guidelines? Yes. The food pyramid. Yes. To reduce red meat specifically. Yes, I would. Yes, she would. This is who Kamala Harris is. This is what a Kamala admin is all about. She's aligned with the WEF and the UN, all these globalist organizations,
which again on a global scale are fighting a war on meat, fighting farmers saying that you should replace amazing animal-based protein with bugs, with fake meat, lab-created meat. That's not good for humans. We've never eaten like that.
And this, again, like I said, it should be a bipartisan issue. And it's incredible that the media is getting away with this. But the positive thing is that we have alternative media outlets like Joe Rogan, like this podcast, like Dan Bongino, to talk about things honestly because we're not bought out by Big Food and Big Pharma. We're going to switch gears here. The Kamala campaign...
is truly hell bent on insulting voters. Yesterday, Kamala supporter and billionaire Mark Cuban went on The View where he said that MAGA women are not strong and not intelligent. Take a listen. Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women ever. It's just that simple. So MAGA supporters are garbage and now MAGA women are stupid and weak. It's like they can't help themselves.
They can't mask their elitism even one week before the election. Just keep your mouth shut. Don't insult the voters just for this week. And they can't do it. They can't hold back their disdain for the masses and their hatred for half the country just for a few days. They can't do it.
Speaking of the elites, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, some other celebs, all Avengers actors. They made a campaign ad for Kamala and it was pretty cringe. Take a listen. Hi Avengers.
Hey, Scarlett. Jumping on the call. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I think you mean assembling. I said assembling. Don, that's pretty good. No, that was funny. Scarlett, it is our pleasure to come together and to get the vote out this election. Yeah, how can we be of service? How about we start with what our voting plans are going to be, who we're going to bring to the polls with us, that sort of thing. I think Kamala Harris needs a catchphrase. Ooh, yes, definitely a catchphrase. How about this? I'm just...
Up the top of my head, I can do this all day. Shut up. I hate it. I mean, it's original, but what about something punchier? Like, oh, all right, we're good with that. You're looking for this? Michael just said that Robert Downey Jr. did a movie in blackface, which is pretty interesting. Pretty ironic here. The rules don't apply when you're a left winger. That video was very cringe. It just keeps getting more cringe as you go along. And I have to be honest, it kind of reminded me
of another time celebrities got together and made a video. You'll remember when our government forcibly shut down businesses, locked everyone in their homes and forced them to take an experimental vaccine. And then all these celebrities made a video to a communist song as if this was some sort of all in this together moment when in reality it was grotesque and unprecedented oppression. Does anybody remember that?
here's a reminder there's no heaven it's easy if you try no hell below us above us only sky imagine all the people living for today
Someone comments, "Stop the pain." Okay, stop the pain, stop the pain. I'm sorry, chat. We have to-- We had to go back and revisit the Imagine video. And these people, they really make me sick. And many of them were paid by the federal government to promote anti-science COVID propaganda. And by the way,
The song choice is very telling. A world without borders, religions, or possessions. This is exactly what the left wants. And it's terrifying. It's grotesque. They are elitists. They are rallying for the system of oppression while the rest of us suffer during COVID. And the rest of us overwhelmingly oppose, or at least half the country overwhelmingly oppose a Kamala Admin.
But they force their Hollywood New York City politics on the rest of us. And they're fine either way. It doesn't matter if Kamala wins, if Trump wins. They're still going to be rich either way. They're still going to have a mansion in... Where do they live in California, Mikey?
They're still going to live very wealthy, very privileged lives. Somebody comments, if the Great Reset was a pop song, yes, it's the anthem for the Great Reset. That's 100% true. And it just, I'm just sick of it. And I don't know why they keep making these terrible videos. Nobody likes them. It's not going to change anybody's votes. Speaking of
of the celebrity class. I'm sure that this will surprise no one, but according to the Media Research Council, hosts of late night comedy shows told a total of 1,463 jokes about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris this campaign cycle. But 1,428 of them were about Trump and 35
35 were about Kamala Harris, which is a 40 to 1 ratio or almost 90% to 2%. It's crazy that these people are so ideologically committed to Kamala that they refuse to tell jokes about her because she's just a joke herself. She's constantly generating new material that could be used by comedians and yet they won't use it.
J.D. Vance is not a comedian. He doesn't have a team of writers and numerous rehearsals like SNL. And yet here he is making the perfect Kamala impression. The only way I can describe it is she talks in circles. Tim Dillon says it's like she does gypsy curses because she speaks in gypsy curses. That's very good. We need to build an opportunity economy because if Americans don't have opportunity, then they're not going to have the opportunity to be Americans.
That's exactly how she talks. Total word salad idiocy. But SNL would never do that because they're committed to Kamala winning. And by the way, late night shows were paid tons of money by our federal government to push COVID vaccine propaganda and to make fun of the unvaccinated. And people are sick of this. Meanwhile, the Democrats are just absolutely losing their minds. They're lashing out. Here is Joe Scarborough.
switching to an Elmo accent while ranting about Trump. The hypocrisy, Mika, over a misstatement by Joe Biden, which he quickly corrected, is so laughable because this guy does this every day. And then you turn on Fox News and get, oh, how could anybody do this? I've never seen this before. Despite the fact that
Notice how Mika's trying to get him to stop. She's like, yeah, well, because he actually does sound like Elmo there. You guys tell me this isn't just like Elmo. Can we go back to J.D. Mike or to not to J.D., to Joe Scarborough?
The hypocrisy maker, oh, she quickly corrected. And then you never seen this before. It sounds just like him. Forget with that, Mikey. But in all seriousness, Trump has literally broken this man. Trump has broken all of them, not just politically. He's stolen their power. They're influencing power. Joe Rogan is far more famous and influential than anyone on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC combined.
He's more powerful than any of the left-wing columnists. Frankly, he's more culturally influential than President Biden, than the President of the United States. Trump tore down traditional power structures in this country. And this coincided with a monumental shift in the media landscape. Our institutions, our elites have lied to us so often. Weapons of mass destruction, COVID vaccine efficacy, even the flippin' food pyramid.
But people are now going to different sources. They trust alternative media, independent journalists, reputable podcasters. And it's hard to be in a position that's supposed to be prestigious and powerful, like Joe Scarborough's job, and then realize you're a joke. And ultimately, it's increasingly not cool to be woke.
Case in point, Sony lost over $200 million with a DEI game studio, Firewalk Studios, that pushed morbidly obese women and robots with pronouns. Sony purchased Firewalk Studios back in 2023, but its output was so bad and so expensive, it's already been shut down.
Firewalk Studios created a game called Concord. We've covered it on the show before. Concord is a space-aged first-person shooter game that had excessive and forced diversity themes. Here are some of the characters in this game. If you're listening, you see this very fat black woman, another very fat black woman, all... Right, Michael says, "I don't know if it's a woman," because again, they all have bizarre pronouns.
Obese queer ladies. I can see why the gamers aren't interested in that. And I can see why a lot of young people are sick of this. And with so much rot in pop culture, it can really feel demoralizing, especially if you are a young person. And there are very few things out there that Gen Z and Gen Alpha Christians can really love and embrace. Which is why I want to share with you all this next story.
And beware, but I'm about to tackle one of the great internet controversies of the week. And my take here is probably not what most of you would expect. So ahead of the Catholic Church's 2025 Jubilee, the Vatican launched a cartoon mascot to be the face of the church's upcoming Holy Year and the face of the Holy Seas Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. And the mascot's name is Luce.
And if you're listening, Luce is a cute little anime girl with blue hair, a yellow raincoat, a rosary around her neck, and a walking staff. Oh, and muddy boots. Now, Luce, which means light in Italian, is intended to engage with pop culture and guide young people through the whole year.
Her yellow sailor raincoat is a nod to both the Vatican flag and to journeying through life's storms. The mascot's muddy boots represent a long and difficult journey, and her staff symbolizes the pilgrimage toward eternity. And Luce has caused a major rift
in the Catholic Church between the young and the old. A lot of older Catholics seem to hate Luce and have called her everything from ugly to demonic. Here is Catholic podcaster Taylor Marshall expressing strong disapproval in a recent video of Luce.
I was gonna pass over it. I was like, that's cringe. And then all I see in my timeline on Twitter is this. And let's be honest, anime is a huge market. Bigger than Marvel. It's bigger than Spider-Man. So I can see why they do it. But again, it just seems to me as a gimmick. So someone in the Vatican said, you know what? We need a mascot.
Like NBA, guy running around doing flips, slam dunks. They're like, no, we're thinking more anime. Big in Japan too. This guy here, he was like, that's brilliant. And I have just the guy to, you mean like a Japanese artist? And he's like, no, a gay Italian guy.
The Catholic remnant says, I like anime, but this is gay. What I'm trying to say is Catholicism is so true, so beautiful, so good, so amazing. We don't need a gimmick. We don't need a blue haired anime doll. Bring back St. George slaying the dragon as a mascot. I can empathize with some of Taylor Marshall's criticism, criticisms. But the thing is,
Traditional Gen Z Christians, they love Luce and they've turned her into an inspiring character to rally around. And I just want to quickly address his point about it being created by some pro-LGBTQ artists. The answer to that is to pray for this man. Pray for him. That's all you should do.
And the reason that I'm pretty sympathetic to Luce is the fan art has been incredible. She's calling for crusades, she's saving babies from abortion clinics. Young people have been making really awesome edits of Luce. Here's one great example. And there are tons of examples of that all over the place. And
Now I'm going to say for myself, I am a Gen Z Catholic who wears a chapel veil to Mass. I love the Latin Mass. I'm not interested in modernizing or updating the liturgy.
And I don't see Luce as a threat to the church at all. Historically, Christians, particularly Catholics, have effectively evangelized by translating Christianity into terms accessible to people steeped in pagan traditions. St. Augustine of Canterbury reframed Anglo-Saxon festivals to coincide with Christian feast days.
St. Patrick blended Celtic symbols with Christian teachings, like creating the Celtic cross to make the face more relatable to the local culture. Our Lady of Guadalupe herself appeared to Juan Diego as an Aztec princess. So in our current cultural climate, which is increasingly neo-pagan, an anime mascot is actually very clever and frankly on brand with the Catholic Church.
There are already tons of non-religious Japanese anime art accounts discussing the rosary and all the Luce symbolism. That's huge. And it's also worth noting that Pope Francis has not been supportive of traditional Catholics, particularly here in America. I would argue that, frankly, he's abandoned us. And it's possible that Luce's critics are right, and perhaps the Pope envisioned Luce to make the church less traditional.
If so, it's completely backfired. Instead, Luce has been embraced by traditional Gen Z Catholics, and Luce herself has become based in a symbol of traditional Catholicism. And it makes sense why many young people are drawn to her because anime aesthetics are very prevalent in young trad Catholic corners of the internet.
So it's entirely logical that many young people would love Luce while older generations may struggle to understand her appeal. And that's okay. She's for young people and she's drawing people to Christianity. So I support Luce. I think she's awesome. And I think Luce serves as a powerful reminder of the formidable presence of right-wing voices and the kind of power that they wield in the digital realm.
When platforms like X or Rumble embrace genuine freedom, the right always flourishes and the cultural tide shifts in our favor. The adage that the left can't meme is really true. It's never rung truer. Unlike SNL, we embrace humor and don't fear the truth. Unlike our left-wing counterparts, we openly discuss vaccine injuries and the realities of biological sex. And though Trump may be an older guy,
He's really young at heart. He understands pop culture. He knows how to break the internet with a McDonald's visit or a fiery tweet. And this underscores the critical battle that we face today, the most important battle, which is the fight for free expression. Who could forget when Trump was booted off of every single platform after January 6th? With authentic freedom on the internet, we always win. It's similar to why when
Mothers contemplating abortion undergo an ultrasound. They often choose life. When people are presented with the truth and sincerity, hearts and minds change. And we have people on our side like J.D. Vance who are willing to tell the truth. It's just a matter of making sure everyone else can hear it.
