Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Okay, So this is crazy. People get nuts in parking lots.
I mean, I think everybody knows this. A Florida man
struck a pregnant woman with his car over a parking
space dispute. This is crazy. So he was arrested. They

(00:39):
were having This was a winery and restaurant in Coconut
Creek and so according to the probable cause arrest Affidavid,
the woman was leaving the restaurant. She had to carry
some items from inside to her car. Her husband went
to get the car so he could move to a
parking spot in front.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Of the building.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
She was standing in the spot as her husband was
driving around, while the defendant, forty five year old Brian Papula,
pulled up in his car. The victim told him that
she was saving the spot for her husband who was
driving around, but he shook his head and proceeded to
pull forward. The car struck her knee. He actually hit
her in the knee, which forced her to move back

(01:22):
and she lost a shoe. And she said that if
she hadn't moved, he would have run her over. Paramedics
responded to the scene, but she didn't need to go
to the hospital. Papola told cops that he moved forward
at a quote slow speed, and he told her you
can't save spots. So after parking his vehicle, he walked
into a restaurant and he said he was in a rush,

(01:44):
so browok kind of Sheriffs arrested him on one kind
of aggravated battery and a pregnant person. He was taken
to jail. He since posted five thousand bond. If I
was a husband, I'd beaten his ass right there in
the parking lot because that's insane. First off, yes, it's
tacky to save parking spots, but that's a woman, and
she was visibly pregnant, and he's a forty five year

(02:04):
old man who has no problems walking under his own strength.
Be the gentleman, or if you can't be the gentleman,
then tell yourself you're going to be the bigger person
and just don't do stuff like this, you know, I mean,
he ought to be. He's lucky that she wouldn't carrying,
because she would have been within her rights. In my
estimation to draw on him because you're threatening her with
a weapon, which is your vehicle. And there's a reason

(02:27):
why vehicular manslaughter and charges involving vehicles with injuring people
is actionable. Are actionable offenses. So this guy's lucky that
that's all he got.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
What a d bag?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
That's insane. Be smarter than that guy. Good grief. People
are stupid, let's see. So this I gotta talk about
this lady just because of her lashes, Kine, I just
need you to get a gander them lashes. Okay, we're
gonna try this lady's name here. So she got arrested

(02:59):
and connection with at least three bad date Rolex theft cases.
So apparently she dates rich dudes and steals her watch.
One guy had his Rolex watch and a Versace gold
chains valued at fourteen thousand dollars stolen. So her name
is in Trinasia, and I think that's right, or.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
I don't know it's.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
It looks like she cut a spider in half and
included each of the spider side to her eyelader to
her eyes because that those lashes are out of control. Anyway,
She's from Miami Gardens twenty four years old. She apparently
uh and meets with these gents and steals their stuff.
So men don't be hose. Okay, just don't be like that,

(03:47):
and you won't find yourself with questionable with women of
ill repute who are going to steal you of your jewels.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
She just doesn't steal. It's like these guys end up
severely passed out like ice.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Oh yeah, it's like some ripped or whatever they call it.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah. Yeah, They put them to sleepy sleep and then
take all their stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Pulling a Cosby on these guys, pulling.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
A Cosby, and I fload of man was arrested for
calling nine one five times in one day. You can't
do that, especially when you just want to complain about
stuff in your neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
And that's what this feller did. We'll talk more about
that tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Stick with this Caltex KOs seven Gen two shotgun. It's
one of the newest ones that they've made. It's on
the popular KOs seven platform. The Gen two is packed
with all kinds of upgrades. You have a five slot
Picatinny style rail that lets you add vertical grips lights.
You can keep it flush and sleek with a cap
if you want. It's a smoother pump action for faster,

(04:41):
cleaner cycling, and you also have enhanced durability ultra lightweight.
It's just under seven pounds unloaded compact bullpup designs. You
have maneuverability and tight spaces, ambidextrous downward shell ejection and
a seven plus one capacity for stopping power and MSRP
makes it affordable just six hundred and thirty nine dollars,

(05:02):
so it brings all of that well within reach. It's
from Keeltech k e l Tec Weapons dot Com, made
here in the USA. It's Celtech Weapons dot Com. Tell
them Dana sent.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
You content in different sizes. So part of what we're
testing out now is it's amazing to be able to
sit and watch a show for thirty minutes, But how
can I give you a recipe in two minutes? And
where can I share that with you? And how that
continues to grow as ever, so exploring all the options
of what it could look like.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Oh, gag me.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
So that's that whiny balding redheads game show wife. I'm
just not fans of them. I've not been I never
really followed them. That's that Megan markle lady. I've never
really followed them until she pulled this stunt because I
don't get into British like wanna be royals or royalty.
But she pulled this stunt where she went down to Uvaldi.

(05:58):
She chartered a jet, flew down to Uvalde with a
camera crew and had people take pictures of her lay
flowers outside that school. And after that, I was like,
you are on my burnt list. Wow, that was so
tacky and had a whole camera crew follow her because
you know, how can I make this about myself? Is

(06:19):
what she asks herself every single day. I think that
she actually is representative of a larger issue. Welcome back
to the program Dana Lash with you Chets at Rumble
channel three forty seven. We can watch the radio program,
so if you're unfamiliar, I think everybody knows the the
prince over there, the Prince and Princess of Wales. They
seem like decent people. They seem very nice, right, They

(06:41):
seem like, you know, very respectable, quiet, no complainers. They
just you know, keep their heads down, kind of do
the work that they're supposed to do. I guess they
go and sponsor a lot of charities and do a
lot of philanthropy, and then you got this spare who
apparently has all the charities dumping him. He made a

(07:03):
mess of Scintiballee. The one charity that was over in
Africa made a mess of it to where he got
accused by the people in the charity of they were
trying to I guess, use it as a mechanism to
just defend and promote his wife. And then another charity
said that they wanted to discontinue association.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
With him because.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
They basically accused him of being a colonizer. And so
now he lives in California. So if you don't follow
it because you have a life, let me just lay
it out. So they got this Netflix deal that I
think that they overinflated the page, the check and the
scope of what they were going to do in the
press because they needed to desperately come out and look

(07:43):
like they were winners in something, right, So they did
this deal where they did their documentary, which it wasn't
a huge hit. Like Victoria Beckham has a documentary right
now that's like number one. The Beckham stuff, everything that
they do is a hit, number one, number one, number one,
so they did this and that didn't last for she
did this cooking show which didn't even take place in
her house. You could tell, I can watch somebody and

(08:05):
tell if you know how to cook. A cook knows
if someone can cook or not. You can watch someone
prepare vegetables. You can watch and prepare meat. You can
watch you know how they how they manipulate the pan
and everything else.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
You can tell if somebody cooks.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
When she was chopping stuff on her show, I was
terrified that she was going to cut a finger off.
It was just sloppy, and you can she just got
the thing because of who she married. And they're really
trying to like make themselves really influential, not just in culture,
but in politics. Remember these are people who also they

(08:41):
got USAID money. Apparently their little groups got USAID money.
And apparently they were also trying to add their voices
to those on the left that wanted under Biden.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
That we're trying to get big tech to crack down.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
On misinformation and disinformation and all that nonsense. And apparently
they were also part of it fairest game, right, it's
alfair game now. So anyway, she was the one who
got pictured using the canning tongs incorrectly didn't know how
to can So I don't know what she's doing at
this fortune five hundred things. Do you know what she
was doing there? Because she she what was the point

(09:16):
of her being there? Because it was about female executives.
And she's never built anything. She only got where she
was because she slept with despair and got knocked up.
Let's be honest about it. I mean, that's you know,
I guess that's one way to do it. But you know,
don't sit here and call yourself a female founder. When
you married the money and you married the prestige, you
didn't build anything for yourself. You committed the greatest sin

(09:38):
in your glorious Steinem feminism rule book. You didn't make
it yourself. You married it. Otherwise nobody cares. She was
a zealist actress and was occasionally on a Canadian TV
show that was it. Everywhere she's got, it's everywhere she's
ever gone. It's because a man put her there. Her
dad put her here, a boyfriend put her there, another

(09:58):
boyfriend put her there, and and.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Now the husband.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
So she's never really built anything by herself, you know,
I mean, fine, be happy who you are, but don't
sit here and you know, pull a snow job on
everybody else and act like you built it. That's not
being that's not being genuine.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's not being truthful to people.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
But I don't know why she's I don't know why
she's there, and I think that she's indicative of a
large problem with like the leftist influencer Psyche.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
I don't know, it's just it's a weird thing. There's
more audio of her. This is.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Because they had that as ever show and then she said,
this is twenty. Suits is a show that no one
watched and no one even knew about until she married
the spare.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
This has cut twenty.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
It's been incredible because when I was on Suits, that
was my last time really in a position with a
very large team. We had a crew of two hundred wells,
that's not true, and I worked on the show for
seven years and I loved the crew. I love that
experience and the culture that's one as well, and so

(11:02):
I think being able to now have my own business,
it's very different than being on set. And even the
set for With Love Meg and that's a crew of
eighty people. It's still a very large crew. But for
my business, I've been very decisive about having a lean team.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I think that's what she says.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
She says that she has so many people working for
she can't fit them into her house. So she's not
even consistent, and she was only ever on suits a
couple of times. Her she doesn't she has she does not,
she's not a business person. She white labels product and
then they purposefully restrict access to promote the falsehood of sales,

(11:45):
so they only come out with a very limited number
and then they like, oh my gosh, demand is crazy.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
We sold out.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
It's a marketing trick. And when I say white label,
everybody knows how that works.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
You have another company, another entity that already has a product,
and you just switch the labels out. You just white
label it. She apparently she did that to her Rose
and the marmalade spread that doesn't even actually use oranges.
She had orange marmalade. It uses frozen They used frozen
orange juice to make it. It's not even it's just
a bunch of sugary nonsense and it's running and it's
not even actual marmalade. What it's all fake. Isn't this

(12:20):
like the whole leftist thing. Fake fake, fake, everything's fake.
They're going to try to sell you something that they
don't actually have. This is a common theme, whether you're
a leftist content creator or a Democrat politician on the hill.
Is that not a common theme? But I just I
also can't stand. One of the reasons I don't like

(12:44):
her because I hate the falseness of this content creation.
So much is curated. This is why I don't do
anything like this on my Instagram account. Let me give
you a little insight. Our sales team is about to
murder me because they oh my gosh, God love them,
but I know that they want to string me up, Kane.
And you know it's true because I'm like, I'm not
going to sit here and promote products and act like
I'm not selling people something on Instagram. There is so

(13:05):
much I'm going to be real with you, there's so
much money that we've turned down and because I don't
need it. But also it just feels cringe, you know
what I mean, It's just so cringe. Like I'm even
very specific with sponsors that come into our show. And
if you've noticed, like the sponsors that are on this
radio program, I've been doing radio since two thousand and eight.

(13:26):
October twenty eight, two thousand and eight was my first show,
And a lot of the sponsors that we have on
radio have literally been with me since the beginning. Look
how long super Beats has been with me. Look how
long Patriot Mobile has been with me. We develop real
relationships with these people, but we also have a very
high bar of who we work with, and it really
aggravates some of the folks in sales. God love them

(13:49):
because they're you know, they're all about selling and and
that's how we pay for this. That's why you don't
have to pay a subscription fee. That's why you're watching
for free right now. And you know, the chat can
come together and they have that community and you know
the rest of us, you know, we can sit down
and chill out and talk, you know, three hours a
day every day.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Well, we're very.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Particular about it because I just think it's just cringe
and it doesn't serve anyone to do it otherwise. This
is like the consumerist culture. You want to look like
you are a cook or a little homemaker or whatever,
AND's she doesn't do it, so it doesn't come off
as being genuine. It doesn't come off as being authentic.
And then if you criticize it or pull or point

(14:27):
out this truth, then there's then the accusations fly at
you like there's something wrong with you because you don't
accept this obviously obvious marketing attempt. You don't accept it
as being authentic. So the problem is you. I can't
stand that. It is just this gas lighting that's in politics,
it's in consumerism, it is it's an arts and enter,

(14:49):
it's everywhere. It's just so false, it's so ridiculous. So yeah,
we have a like, we have a high bar with
what we work with. And this is why I don't
like doing this content stuff on Instagram.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I allowed.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
We have a great social media team and so you
might have noticed if you follow me for any period
of time now, they post videos from the show and
they do things like that. And that's fine, but I
have a major problem with like pushing product. We did
this experiment one time. I did and I didn't even
get paid off of it. I just wanted to offer
something to because the audience can be very picky. It

(15:24):
was this candle company that was based in New Orleans,
and they happened to notice that I liked one of
their products and they said, hey, we're you know, if
you would make a post about us, we'll give everybody
that that buys through using your code twenty percent off.
And I'm like, oh, that's like a nice thing to
do for everybody. And everyone's like what is this? All
the comments were what is this? Are you going to

(15:46):
start promoting products now? And I'm like no, I just
they literally offered to do something nice for people. So
it was the last time I did it because everybody
was so suspicious of it. They were like what is this?
And it literally I didn't make a die. I've never
ever made a die. I'm off a product on Instagram.
I've never done any of that stuff. And they were
so suspicious of it, so I never I was like,

(16:06):
I just wanted to give you twenty percent off that
I thought it was a nice thing. Their stuff was
made in the Osa. I'm not going to do it again,
don't worry. But it's weird and I just I don't know.
I just don't get into that. Also, I think a
lot of the things with the Harry and Megan thing,
and again, you don't have to get into British Royalty
isn't it also on a different scale, a representation of

(16:29):
the crassness of progressive culture and then the politeness and
well mannered nature of a more traditional culture on display.
Doesn't it seem that way? I mean, I think that
it's a rar shock test. How you feel about them
is a rar shock test, for sure. But I have
no idea why she's doing these things. And you know,
she tried meeting Kamala Harris, remember, and they acted like

(16:53):
it was a big thing that they were endorsing Kamala Harris.
And she signs all of her stuff with Dutchess. We
don't have a royalty over it. We don't have royalty
over here that we don't do stupid titles. We don't
do the hereditary stuff over here. I get it that
Nuvau reach people are obsessed with that stuff.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
We don't do that over here.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Fall has a way of making you slow down and
indulge in the comforts of homes, swapping busy summer days
for quiet weekends and cozy evenings with your favorite shows
and restorative self care rituals.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
You didn't think it could get any.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Better until Bowl and Branch turned your bed into a sanctuary.
Of comfort with the softest, most extraordinary bedding for crisp
fall nights. So the first night you put them on
your bed, you're gonna be able to tell right away.
I mean minor, a soft, cool and they have a
great weight. It felt feels like a five star hotel
room in your own house. And these sheets, they get
better with time. So I've washed mine over and over

(17:43):
again and they just keep getting softer. Try that with
cheap sheets, because they just fall apart and they pill.
Bowl and Branch gets more luxurious after time. So there's
no way you're gonna go back to your old flimsy sheets.
Start building your sanctuary of comfort this fall with Bull
and Branch and for a limited time, twenty percent off
your first set of sheets, plus free shipping.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
I just say Phil Collins does not get enough love.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
He's the only guy who could show up looking like
an it worker and go back and jam his hard
out on the drums and then like write amazing songs
with fabulous harmonies and rhythms and then just hit hit
after hit. I mean, the man's a legend. Facts no
lines detected panel good grief. New pandemic fears as a
swine flu strain was found in ferrets and it mutates

(18:34):
to hit h How do you get pig flu in
a ferret and now it's in a person.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
What are you do in China?

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Quit being weird? Quit doing weird stuff with your animals
over there. I have no idea, but I don't believe it,
and I don't care. Also, I don't understand having.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Ferrets as like a pet. It's a weasel, right, isn't
it a weasel? Yeah? Are they? Don't they stink?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Really? I don't. I mean, I literally don't laugh at me.
But I literally bought like dog Perkium one Amazon for
my dog that's like dog friendly, because I was like,
sh goes outside and he gets bo dog bo, and
I'm like, oh, Matt, Anyway, I could never do a ferret. Uh.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
I don't care. I'm gonna eat pork. Let's see. New
York Sun revives print edition. Nobody cares.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Sam Waltwin says chat gpte no, no chat GPT is
gonna get skinky. They're gonna it's gonna turn into a
sex bot, a chat sexpot. That's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
So not only can we get inaccurate information, but now
they'll sex this too. Do we need any of this? No?

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Where's the comet? Where's this?

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Where's smot? Where's the sweet meteor of death? I mean,
just we're begging here, please humans. Let's see under fifty
percent AI over fifty percent the share of articles that
have been written by humans or by AI. Isn't there
software where you can test that stuff and see? I'm
really curious. I would like to do some of that,

(20:08):
like to test more.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Than fifty percent of the articles online are written by AI.
More than fifty percent.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
I can proudly say that nothing on my newsletter has
ever been written by AI.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
I don't try. I don't trust it.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
And plus it's like you still would have to do
the work of fact checking it, right, So what's the
point of having AI did when you have to do
all the work you have to fact check it?

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Anyway?

Speaker 1 (20:29):
But apparently articles generated by AI on number of those
written by humans. So basically journalists are letting AI out
code them.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Right, That's kind of that's the truth of it.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
That's interesting. So they're outsourcing all their stuff to AI.
That's over fifty percent. That's insane of news articles that
you're reading. You're you probably read an article today without
knowing that was completely AI generated.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
It's wild.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Soon you're going to be able to shop Walmart in
chet GPT, according to Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
That's kind of weird. I wouldn't want to do that.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
They're saying that retail giants that online shopping is about
to change. They're partnering with open ai to allow shoppers
to buy their products directly.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Within chat GPT. Who needs to do that?

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Like?

Speaker 1 (21:09):
What are they doing in chat gpt that you can
be interrupted in shop?

Speaker 3 (21:16):
That's weird.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
So you're like researching something or studying something. And then also,
do we have to be able to shop.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Everywhere all the time.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Isn't that kind of just like fueling this this consumerist
kind of culture that we have. Just for heaven's sake,
just stop. We don't need any of that. I wanted
to show this thread. I had this in my last hour,
but I wanted to move it, moving it over here.
So there's new data out that shows that transidentification is

(21:50):
in freefall amongst younger people. That is pretty significant because
I think it's a social contagion completely. It very much
is a social contagion. This is a fascinating piece and
I was reading about it the study that they have,

(22:12):
and the Washington Times has.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
More on this.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
There's they had written up this study that it's just
absolutely nose dived. The the trend in identifying as trans
it's in a free fall. Now maybe it's if it
was really a biological thing. I don't think that you

(22:37):
would be worried about the freefallinginess of it, would you.
I mean, it would be if it's science to science, right, Gotti,
the pop ups are crazy.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Stop it.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Basically, what they're concluding is that the identification is quote
going out of fashion. The percentage of university students who
do not identify as male or female, it said they
it plunged from twenty twenty three to twenty five and
three of the five surveys. And this is a professor

(23:11):
at the University of Birmingham in England and the director
of the Center for Social Science Heterodot Social Science. They
said trans, queer and bisexual identities are in rapid decline
among young educated Americans. The report is titled the Decline
of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans. It was

(23:33):
released yesterday. Now the data, it's they're talking about the yeah, right,
the drop in transidentities. This is really what I was
getting ready to say. The timing is very interesting, King,
what has been one of the speaking of trans what's

(23:53):
been one of the trans issues that's been in the
headlines quite a bit.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well, violence in a general way, but they've been essentially
the only mass shooters of note for the past couple
of years.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Kind of interesting. They there are other by the way,
there are. This isn't the only survey that has shown this.
There was a survey showing a decline and over Phillips
Academy poll and Brown University conducted a student they conducted
a survey as well, and they concluded the same thing.
So you have three independent surveys which have all concluded

(24:28):
that there is a not just I mean a very
precipitous drop, and they there's also sorry, there's all these
surveys also cite the first one that was done, which
was the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. They pulled
over fifty thousand, fifty thousand college students and it's dropped
by half. The identification because it's a social contagent and

(24:58):
it's trigger in people that I think are mentally ill
or that are very lonely.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
The uh, it's going away. Now.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
What's interesting is that the professor noted, because this same
trend they founded a Brown university. They've been finding it
and they've lost three courts. Theirs actually went from where
five percent of students said they were a non binary
in twenty twenty three, two years later, barely over two
percent did. That's wildly significant. And what the survey what

(25:34):
they were discussing was that it is a sign. And
this is interesting. The sentence used is quote a sign
that fashions are changing, that trends are changing. So it's
not fashionable any longer to identify as trans, to do
all of the the you know, to say that you're
a men saying that they're women, and women saying that

(25:55):
they're men. Now, it's not just that they said that
pan sexual, asexual and all and two spirit what are?

Speaker 3 (26:03):
What are? How many were there?

Speaker 1 (26:05):
I don't I almost don't want to know, So all
of the other ones, no one knows. Yeah, they said
that these studies, well of the three studies, two of
them also looked at what they described as non heterosexual definitions.
Is that gay, no it's not gay. It's all the

(26:25):
other stuff, is what they're saying. It's the two spirit
a sexual, pan sexual. I don't even know, literally, I
don't even know what some of these are. I think
they're just completely made up. But they said that that
there is a it's not just the trans stuff. It
plummeted by over ten points, a decline in all of
the other that stuff, the pan a sexual to all

(26:47):
that stuff. Isn't that interesting? Yeah, two sex is infinite personalities.
It's it's very interesting.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Now.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
They also said the number of heterosexual students rose in
twenty twenty five to seventy seven percent. It was in
the sixties and it's risen to seventy seven percent. Now
here's what's interesting. You know what didn't change at all?
Just you're this is I'm not trying to be mean,
but I have no other way to describe it. You're

(27:20):
basic gaze, the basic gays and the basic lesbians, they said,
were quote largely stable.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
That was it. Nothing else changed.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
All the other ones changed, the trans and then the
other stuff and then more heterosexual identification. Some people are
saying it's an anti woke vibe shift. But here's something else.
They're trying to say, also, maybe it's a religious affiliation.
Now this gets into this cut that we have HEREO,
this is cut twenty six. Go ahead and play this,

(27:53):
because when we say we're in a revival, it's not
a joke.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
Listen, a Christian revival across the country. Bible sales increase,
seeing over forty percent since twenty twenty two, religion app
downloads surging nearly eighty percent, that increased since twenty nineteen,
and Christian music Spotify streams up fifty percent from twenty
nineteen are next very interesting.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Indeed, now some are saying that another aspect of this
is that there's an improvement in mental health. So youth
mental illness increased really rapidly. And notice that this coincides
with the rise and introduction of so many different social
media platforms. It grew steadily in the twenty tens, it

(28:38):
peaked in twenty twenty one COVID, and now it's on
the decline. The first measurable the first notice of this
was towards the end of twenty twenty three. So I
think that social media plus the lockdowns all contributed to

(28:59):
a social contagion.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
And now we're seeing a reversal of this. Hmm. Now,
of course the science is not going to be welcome
in the T all the other letters.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Plus I whatever to s all that I don't even
know that it's not going to be welcome in those circles.
But that is incredibly interesting. There is a monumental shift occurring.
