Dad Saves America podcast host, John Papola, joins Bridget for a wide-ranging conversation about everything from the Crusades to life advice for teenage boys. They discuss John’s career trajectory, how he went from MTV, to Spike TV, to documentary filmmaker and ultimately to starting his podcast after COVID hit, why he wanted to take on harder subjects as topics, why 1998 was the peak of Western Civilization, the truth about the production industry, the coolest project he’s ever gotten to work on, why having children was radicalizing for both of them, and how the centers in our society have a kind of cultural group think that has become completely toxic. They also cover why victimhood is so seductive, the best advice his dad gave him, what you should look for in your partner, why the Crusades were awesome and saved the West, what we should be teaching our kids, and why America is worth saving. Check out the Dad Saves America podcast - https://bit.ly/WiW-DadSavesAmerica --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor Links: - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

E368. Freedom is Messy and Hard - John Papola

Drinkin’ Bros podcast host Dan Hollaway joins Bridget for an uncensored conversation about all the third rail topics you could ever ask for, from why we should probably just invade Mexico, to how 20 million illegals and BlackRock turned 29-year-old home-buyers into 40-year-old renters, the reality behind the horseshoe theory that brings together “Queers for Palestine” and actual Islamists, and Zohran Mamdani’s &quot;brown guilt.&quot; They explore how pure libertarianism was tried and failed during the founding of the United States, the truth about Trump’s plan to bring manufacturing back to the US, why the Constitution is the best document ever written, his belief that people aren’t stupid - they’re ignorant, why a nation of strong men is a strong nation, and why he only offends people because they’re delicate. Check out Dan’s Substack - Offensive - https://bit.ly/WiW-Offensive --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor Links: - Transform your fitness with science based training.

E367. Real Men Read The Constitution - Dan Hollaway

Original Air Date - 6/21/23 Revisit a Walk-Ins Welcome classic Journalist and senior director of news at Tablet magazine, Jacob Siegel, sits down with Bridget to discuss his recent article A Guide to Understanding the Hoax of the Century. In a chilling conversation Jacob explains the sudden pervasiveness of disinformation and how it became an organizing principle in most of the federal bureaucracy, the wholesale fraud being perpetrated on Americans, the precipitating factors, the organizations involved, and the replacing of human centric politics with data control. He details the effort to conjure a &quot;larger threat&quot; in order to justify the declaration of marshal law online, how such a threat justified the calls to move beyond free speech and free discourse as antiquated and too dangerous, the concept of hybrid warfare, the institutional process for prosecuting an information war with specific narratives, and how big tech companies - the most powerful institutions in the history of the world - make decisions in a manner that is inscrutable to humans and is also becoming increasingly structurally inaccessible to humans. They also discuss the domestic use of military technologies being used to “protect us from threats” which include people’s thoughts, using another language to try and get around AI censors, how the only way out is through, and what we can do in the meantime. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy - Podcast Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.

E366. We're Being Lied To Every Day - Jacob Siegel

Ever wonder how “15 days to slow the spread” turned into more than two years of Zoom torture, kids in masks all day, and elite children getting private tutors while public-school families got crushed? Natalya Murakhver, a former Upper West Side progressive turned “Open Schools” mom, joins Bridget to discuss her new documentary 15 Days, a forensic analysis of what happened to children during school closures, including devastating learning loss, mental health crises, and inequality. And let’s not forget teachers’ unions weaponizing race, George Floyd protests magically being “safe” while 28 kids in a classroom weren’t, key science being available and ignored, and the quiet radicalization of a generation left alone with glowing screens. Even though the topic will make your blood boil, it’s important to remember what happened and not allow it to be memory holed. 15 Days preserves the voices of those who fought to reopen schools and serves as a historical record to protect future generations. Watch 15 Days now - https://bit.ly/WiW-15Days Sponsor Links: - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

E365. Gen Z Is Furious and Ready To Revolt - Natalya Murakhver

Laura Delano joins Bridget for a riveting conversation about her book, Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance, which chronicles her haphazard diagnosis with bipolar disorder at the age of 14 and the 13 year saga of unending treatments, various diagnoses and a cornucopia of medications that she went through. When she’d reached her lowest point only one option remained, leaving behind the drugs and diagnoses, unlearning everything the experts had told her about herself and forging into the terrifying unknown of an unmedicated life. She and Bridget have a frank and fascinating conversation about their remarkably similar lives, they discuss being party girls, sobriety, rehab, why withdrawal from prescribed medication can be worse than kicking heroin, people who wear their diagnoses as badges of honor, the truth about the mental health system, why feeling your pain is important, the spiritual crisis of meaning in our culture, and why Laura wouldn’t change any of it. Get Unshrunk here - https://bit.ly/WiW-Unshrunk --------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy - Podcast Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.
