I was standing next to our starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. It was great. He was having a good time. It was a lot of fun.

268.462 - 276.87 Blake

I don't think I could name a Diamondbacks player other than the guys who won the 2001 World Series, which is your old 23 years ago now.

277.271 - 291.885 Tyler

So fun fact, I'm not going to say the name of the pitcher that I was standing next to. But at one point, one of our staff had matched with him on a dating application and she didn't take him up on a date. And then later on, he became a World Series pitcher.

Did she try to walk that one back later? No, it was too late. He was a scared boy. That's another song that's like 50 years old now. That's exactly right. All right. Well, anyway, so obviously we're all very excited. We have AmFest next week. Will we be doing this at AmFest? Hopefully. Hopefully.

Guys, if we're all in Phoenix for AmFest, and by the way, big, big news that came out that President Donald J. Trump will be conducting, I believe, and Tyler, correct me if I'm wrong, but be there at AmFest. So make sure you go and get your tickets right now because, you know, Tyler, you can probably give me a better update.

Yeah, I mean, this place is going to be packed. We do this every year. So if you haven't been to America Fest before, this has been an event that we've built for years and years and years, starting in Florida. Then we moved it to Arizona a number of years ago. It's been, I think, the heart and soul of our events team. It's just been our baby that the entire team has grown for so many years.

Anything I've ever seen before in conservative politics. I mean, I've been at the RNC in 2016, which was not a horrible thing or whatever, but obviously that was blown out of the water by everything they're able to do. I can't believe it's his first speech since the election. We got him! We got him! Yes.

I can't wait, but I have to answer Jack's question. People are asking, Charlie, why are you on the second row of the AmFest promotion graphic? Can we put it up there? The answer is that some people on that row get upset if they're not on the first row where I don't care where I am. So that's the answer for those of you curious. That's why I'm second row at my own event.

So obviously AmFest is our biggest event of the year, but we recently had a notable smaller turning point event. We have a gala each December in Mar-a-Lago, and we – So I was talking to Daisy and Emma, and they noticed something very, very interesting. So let's put up image 109. Oh, this is great.

We have Jack there. We have Charlie there. I wasn't able to attend. It's okay. But we've got this image here. We're invited. Daisy saw something a little unusual about it.

556.349 - 577.889 Blake

So what we have here, the Turning Point Gala is a black tie event. That means wear a black tie, wear a tux. And what we have discovered, someone, we do not know who, but it was known that Tyler Boyer and Jack Posobiec did not follow the dress code for the Turning Point Gala.

707.559 - 727.337 Blake

Let's bring it back, though, because we have 1.11 here. We have to really appreciate – this is a – not merely is it a Photoshop, but if we zoom in, it's a pretty bad Photoshop. Like, it's a very kind of silly – it's very slick-looking. I'm not sure how else to describe it. It doesn't quite fit in. Charlie, how do you feel about all of this?

0
💬 0

727.757 - 749.033 Charlie

You were dressed properly. I actually – I was, of course, as the host. But I'm going to cut Jack some slack here. I think that, I mean, black tie rigidity is not my thing. As the host, I'm like, it's okay. It's fine. Now, let me ask you guys, should someone be let into our event if they're not even wearing a tie?

0
💬 0

749.833 - 770.415 Charlie

As the host of a black tie event where they're paying, should we regulate and be like, no? Where do we draw the line? I'm curious. I want you guys to go around the horn. Understand they're paying thousands of dollars to be there. It's a big fundraiser. At what point do we say, sorry, we can't allow you in?

0

771.209 - 774.35 Tyler

I think you just sell them a $5,000 tie on the way in.

Yeah, I feel like you could have a stash of jackets and ties. Thank you. Welcome to the gala. Here's your tie.

Bring the guy that Andrew bought his tux from and just have him sitting outside Mar-a-Lago.

787.116 - 804.819 Jack

Dude, I love that guy. That's what you need. And Mar-a-Lago, by the way, so this was at Mar-a-Lago. This is in the ballroom. But for folks who... If you do ever end up there, that when you go on that patio, they're very strict, by the way, about your dress code just for the patio.

0
💬 0

804.859 - 819.223 Jack

So when you see those photos, I don't know if anyone has any around, but when like where President Trump goes to eat and he's got the, you know, like the velvet ropes around the table and he's always holding these big dinners, not the ones inside. That's what I'm trying to say. The one outside.

0
💬 0

819.673 - 845.946 Jack

he sits for dinner it's it's actually formal dress code there and if you do not have a a coat uh now i don't think you need a tie but if you don't have a coat they will not even let you sit down for dinner although i do know for a fact that the man himself the president trump is very big on people wearing ties he really so charlie that might go to it right there so if if the president's there he wants to see people in ties

0
💬 0

846.286 - 854.149 Blake

That was the thought I had, which was I was like, well, if Trump showed up without a tie, we'd let him in. And then I was like, but Trump would never go without the tie.

It was like great Gatsby with some sort of... It was exactly right. It was like roaring 20s, but I remember turning to Andrew in this very dramatic moment being like, it's almost too good to be true. And you know what's so funny is I got up – I'll never forget. I was on my book tour. It was my first book. I was going – my first big book, Maga Doctriner, and we made New York Times bestseller.

Where Cernovich did like one of those tweets where he was like, this COVID thing could upend all of civilization. And I was like, what? And it was such a kind of provocative.

1087.848 - 1102.178 Charlie

He tweeted something where he was like, COVID could be that thing that just hangs in the background and all of a sudden becomes the biggest thing in the entire election. I remember like, no way. And then it grew, and we're still recovering from it. We still have to have the confrontation. Yeah.

I just remember that some, I mean, I remember all the videos coming out of China and being like, what is going on with this? Cause I would read and I still do from time to time, not as much as I did back then, but I would read like Chinese social media in, in read the Mandarin stuff and be like,

0
💬 0

1119.281 - 1141.718 Jack

wait, China has never acted like this in response to anything before, because there's this whole thing in Chinese history where the idea that the arrival of pestilence or the arrival of a plague or like invasion or something means that the current leadership has lost the mandate of history and lost the mandate of heaven. And so, um,

0

1142.714 - 1155.853 Jack

on the very first episode of War Room Pandemic, which started right around that same week, I came on and I was talking about how the people were like, oh, China's just trying to get us scared. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no. China wouldn't do that.

1156.153 - 1173.327 Jack

Like, that's why Xi Jinping says this virus is a demon from hell, because he doesn't want people to think that means the CCP has lost the mandate of heaven. So I was like, this is very out of character for the CCP to do anything like this. And that's what really clued me in that something was going on.

1173.991 - 1184.157 Charlie

Yeah, it's just it's amazing to think back to that night. And anyway, I don't have much more to add to that. But just kind of think of where you were and what was happening there. Well, let's proceed. Who has the next topic?

1184.747 - 1203.874 Blake

Alrighty. Well, so this is one that we were discussing. This is, this is a little, it's a little sordid, but so, and also Jack, we should remember since you mentioned Sagar and Jenny, we have to have the, uh, Charlie versus Sagar debate on whether we abolish daylight savings time or abolish standard time. Uh, I think Jack and I are both abolished.

Daylight savings time is like the time of FDR and the central planners. No, we have to stand against it.

I don't remember which side of this I'm on because it's the terminology. All I know – You just don't like changing the clocks. No, no. What I don't like is how early it gets dark in the winter. So whatever makes it.

Life in Arizona is objectively better when it's on Pacific time. Yes. Objectively. It is. And I'll tell you why. By the way, the spring, when all of a sudden you're three hours behind, by the time it's like 3.30 Arizona time, East Coast is done and you have a full day of work left. And it's so great. And by the way, you get up – by the way, let's say you get up at 6.30 or 7.

We set the tone for the entire day, and the Californians wake up leisurely three hours later and think, oh, you know, let's see what's going on today. Let's check in. Let's do whatever. No, those of us on the East Coast understand. We set the majority. By the way, the only thing that I would change isn't, so for sure, I'm with Huberman.

Well, it's healthy. I'm cribbing off of Huberman here, but his whole point is we need more light in the morning. And it is better for you to have that blast of sunlight in the morning. And then it is also better for you to have more darkness in the evening. It is healthier. It's natural. It's biological. Obviously, all animals operate off of that cycle because they don't change their clocks.

And then when you really dig into it, as far as I can tell, it's almost always the case that it actually does mess them up.

It's like there's probably always people who are going to do behaviors like this no matter what because they're super desperate or it appeals to them or something. But when it's legal and mainstreamed, you're creating this – almost this expectation that you're legitimizing it as an option in life.

that I hope that if anything like that does end up happening, that it's done for the right reasons and with an understanding that true redemption requires atonement.

When you do things like this, it costs you a piece of your soul. And God can give you all of that back. There's no sin so great that God cannot forgive it, obviously. But I don't think that it's just going to be given back on a whim.

Its effect on individual people, like if you are mediating your view of the world through social media, that if you spend so much time, I guess in the back, back in the day, it would be looking at people's Facebook updates, but now it's their Instagram posts and.

If you're interfacing with the world where your understanding of the people around you is by what they post on social media and your sense of your self-worth is by how much engagement you get on social media. And instead of having a normal career of any sort, like you just exist as an influencer, that's hugely corrosive to you as a person.

And I guess bluntly, I think it is clearly worse for young women than it is for men. One of my fun takes at parties is I basically will say that social media is to women what pornography is to men. It takes a normal human impulse. So, you know, for men like... Wait, say that again?

I say that... Social media does to women what pornography – by analogy, social media is for women what pornography is for men. That it takes a normal impulse. So men want to have sex with women. That's normal. God gave us that. And it takes that and it supercharges it with this massive overstimulus in a destructive way. Because women are more social.
