Chapter 1: Why are protests becoming ineffective?
So just a couple of weeks ago, I was, you know, scrolling on X as I do thinking about the world and realized, you know, I haven't seen many protests lately. They've kind of calmed down. There hasn't been much ridiculousness. Like there wasn't a huge protest after the inauguration. I was in DC.
I feel like I would have noticed or heard, you know, the protests about Elon Musk have been embarrassingly small and have just been fodder for mockery on social media. Like it's actually been a bit peaceful. Maybe we would even say it's been a bit boring. And of course,
And of course, because this is the way the world works, the moment I thought that, I started seeing protests literally everywhere, unfortunately, which made me think about how effective these protests actually are. Like, what have they accomplished over the last five to ten years when they have been dominating our social and political landscape?
And unsurprisingly, they have actually done more harm than good, turning people away from the causes that they are trying to promote. And in my eyes, the best or worst example of this is how these radical activists, these radical protesters, have utterly destroyed environmentalism as a universal American cause. And that is what we need to talk about today.
We also need to spend a few minutes obviously making fun of these insane protests that are now popping up. And then we need to figure out how to push real solutions through on issues like the environment. Now, before I start making fun of all these protesters, make sure that you are following all of our podcast pages, and please leave a review if you are enjoying the show.

Now, in case you missed it, which if you live on X in social media like I do, I don't know how you would, but last week was International Women's Day, which obviously means that women around the world felt the need to go out into the streets and march and protest. And really, I have no idea why. We have equality. Things are actually going great for women right now.
Actually, we are dominating men in most spaces, which is kind of a huge problem. in my eyes, but things are going well. So why are we out in the streets marching? I don't have an answer for you. And the thing is, I don't think these women actually know why either.
I mean, at the Women's March in Paris last week, they were topless, per usual, they're always topless in Paris, and they were protesting fascism. in America by going topless. Isn't that lovely? Doesn't that just make you wanna end fascism in America? Focus on your own damn country. Why on earth do you have an American flag painted on your bare chest with a swastika? literally makes no sense.

Chapter 2: What were the controversies during International Women's Day 2025?
So now, after going through all of this, all of the ridiculous, ineffective protesting, the hypocrisy that we've seen, where do we go from here? Because if the goal in terms of the environment is to actually preserve nature and stop natural disasters like these crazy California forest fires, then we have to focus on solutions. Obviously, that should not be controversial.
And it's insane that that has to even be said. But based on what we've been seeing for the last decade, it's obvious that that has not been a priority.
So it's really easy to critique something. It's a lot harder to come up with solutions as you are critiquing something. So what conservatives should have done, and what we can do, it's not like too late to do this, is say, here's what we don't like about the left's ideas. Here's what we should do instead. We've done a good job of critiquing, rightfully so, bad ideas.
We've done a really bad job proposing our own ideas. And that has actually harmed us in the end as conservatives and the country. And I think, again, it's not too late to change that course.
And now, with Trump back in office, who is just on fire for change, basically, he's just ready to get things done, who is taking meetings with nonpartisan environmentalists, I do think that there is a lot of hope. And the time is right now. There is not a better time to redirect this issue.
Because the environment, like so many important issues of our time, should not be an issue that is dominated only by one side. And we should not let these hypocritical, insane attention whores control something that impacts all of us every single day.
I believe that we can reclaim that term as people who care about the environment, who want to conserve it in a smart way for future generations. No matter if you hunt, you fish, you ski, you take care of a farm, you ranch, we all have a connection to nature that is undeniable. That makes you an environmentalist, or at least it used to, and it should again.
This is an American identity, cultural opportunity to reclaim something that we all share, make it something that's all American again. and make it about the environment again. Make environmentalism about the environment again.
And as Benji says, this should not even be a political issue. This should be a nonpartisan point of American pride. And in 2025, I think we can get back to that. And the first thing we have to do is taking back the power from those insane protesters.
