Bridget sits down with Drea de Matteo, star of The Sopranos, to discuss her personal and political evolution, their mutual gratitude for being part of Gen X, how Drea never intended to become a political activist, how COVID and the lockdowns influenced her thinking and led her to start questioning her preconceptions about the Left and the Right, why it took her until the very last moment to come out in support for Trump, and why she did it even while recognizing that it could damage her ability to work in Hollywood again. They cover Drea’s decision to join OnlyFans to save her house, how her daughter’s political journey influenced her own, what Gen Z has been through and the lasting effect the pandemic had on them, the state of the entertainment industry and why art is dead if everyone is too afraid to take risks, addiction, self-discovery, and her commitment to maintaining authenticity despite industry pressures.

E317. Thank God for Gen X - Drea de Matteo

Bridget sits down with Patrick Ruffini, a Republican pollster and author of <a target='_blank' href='https://bookshop.org/p/books/party-of-the-people-inside-the-multiracial-populist-coalition-that-is-saving-the-gop/18899632?ean=9781982198626'>Party of the People: Inside the Multiracial Populist Coalition Remaking the GOP</a>. The book explores the transformative political landscape of recent American elections, challenging previous narratives about the Republican Party&apos;s demographics and highlighting a significant multi-racial shift in voter preferences, particularly noting how Donald Trump expanded Republican support among African American and Latino voters. Patrick and Bridget discuss what he got right about the 2024 election that everyone else missed, Gen Z&apos;s political realignment, suburban women&apos;s concerns, working-class voter migrations, the impact of COVID, identity politics agendas in schools, and gender identity debates. They cover the breakdown of traditional political paradigms, why 2020 was supposed to be a return to normal but was actually the opposite, why it felt okay to openly support Trump in this election, the yearning for strong leadership and stability, why Kamala wasn’t a good candidate, why it would have been a disaster for her to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and the key polling question that indicated the true direction America was leaning: “How are your neighbors are voting?”Please subscribe to the More Bridget Phetasy YouTube channel where we’ve moved Walk-Ins Welcome - <a target='_blank' href='https://www.youtube.com/@morebridgetphetasy'>https://www.youtube.com/@morebridgetphetasy</a>Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.

Kara argues that the Democratic Party and left-wing activists have betrayed women by embracing gender identity ideology, which she sees as fundamentally misogynistic. They cover how this ideology undermines women&apos;s spaces, sports, and fundamental rights, why they wear the term TERF as a badge of honor, Biden’s statement that transgender discrimination was the civil rights issue of our time, male inmates in women&apos;s prisons, the erasure of biological sex, the professional consequences for speaking out, why so many women are actively championing a cause that is undermining women, the male billionaires funding the transgender movement, mainstream media’s complicity in silencing feminist critiques, and the grave consequences for our society if it continues to deny that sex is real.Please subscribe to the More Bridget Phetasy YouTube channel where we’ve moved Walk-Ins Welcome - <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@morebridgetphetasy'>https://www.youtube.com/@morebridgetphetasy</a>Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.

E315. The Billionaires Behind the Gender Identity Movement - Kara Dansky

Original Air Date - April 11, 2024 In honor of Tulsi Gabbard&apos;s nomination for Director of National Intelligence, we&apos;re re-airing her April interview. 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.

E314. How To Save America - Tulsi Gabbard

Bridget sits down with radio talk-show host and author, Dana Loesch, for a conversation about growing up Gen X, the freedoms they had that kids don’t have anymore, the role of technology in the development of the nanny state, what the constant ability to check on your kids does to parents, whether we’re training our kids to have no expectation of privacy from a young age, and how Gen Z are already so conditioned to censoring themselves and avoiding risks because they know their mistakes will live on the internet forever. They also cover Dana’s career path, how she went from journalist to radio host to gun rights advocate, growing up in public, whether your audience will allow you to change your mind, the impact of cancel culture, whether actual death is preferable to social death, and the modern social pressures that can lead women to ignore their protective instincts in favor of social accommodation.Please subscribe to the More Bridget Phetasy YouTube channel where we’ll be moving Walk-Ins Welcome - <a target='_blank' href='https://www.youtube.com/@morebridgetphetasy'>https://www.youtube.com/@morebridgetphetasy</a>- <a target='_blank' href='http://caliberstrong.com/dumpster'>Transform your fitness with science based training.
