Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy

Bridget sits down with Patrick Ruffini, a Republican pollster and author of Party of the People: Inside the Multiracial Populist Coalition Remaking the GOP. The book explores the transformative political landscape of recent American elections, challenging previous narratives about the Republican Party'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's political realignment, suburban women'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?”

E316. Woke vs. Working Class: The Battle for America's Future - Patrick Ruffini

Original Air Date - April 11, 2024 

In honor of Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for Director of National Intelligence, we'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 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. Check out Drea’s new streetwear line, ULTRAFREE.

E317. Thank God for Gen X - Drea de Matteo

This episode was originally published 2/29/24
Abigail Shrier returns to talk about her latest book Bad Therapy: Why The Kids Aren't Growing Up. She and Bridget discuss what led her to write the book, her initial premise, how it changed along the way, why kids today seem to be in a lot of psychological pain, the potential harms of too much therapy, the overuse of the word trauma, how talking about and focusing on your pain can make it worse, and how kids are being taught to make their pain an organizing principle of their lives. They cover how our blanket culture of therapy can feed on parents' insecurities and how they really need to take back their authority, what kids today are really anxious about, how being a parent means you have to do things that are uncomfortable but that are good for your kids, why a certain amount of repression is healthy, how important independence and risk taking is for children's development, over-medication and how numbing a kid to the ups and downs of life has a lot of consequences, why you should research your therapist the way you would a surgeon, and what you can do as a parent to counteract these issues.

E318. Bad Therapy: Why The Kids Aren't Growing Up - Abigail Shrier

Original Air Date - 9/21/23 Paula Scanlan, former University of Pennsylvania swimmer and team member with transgender athlete Lia Thomas, sits down with Bridget to discuss her experience on the team, her decision to speak up about the controversial issue, and ultimately testifying before Congress. She and Bridget talk about how the university tried to silence the athletes, being unable to express discomfort or feelings of unfairness, being told that they are the ones with the problem, waiting for the adults in the room to step in, and making the difficult decision to speak up even when she knew the backlash she'd face would be brutal. They cover the pressure of group think, why all of this coming on the heels of Covid made it so much worse, teaching young women not to trust themselves, why this issue should not be a political one, the worry of being fired for her viewpoints, hearing from a lot of young women who are scared, how Paula's sexual assault red pilled her, and her work to enact policy change with the Independent Women's Forum.

Spencer Klavan sits down with Bridget to discuss his new book, Light of the Mind, Light of the World: Illuminating Science Through Faith.

They also cover Spencer’s personal journey to faith, his experience as a gay Christian, how he reconciles his faith with his identity, the importance of finding meaning through faith rather than nihilism, a practical approach to spirituality, and how personal darkness can lead to spiritual awakening.

Bridget sits down with Jared Klickstein, author of Crooked Smile, to discuss the gritty realities of addiction, homelessness, and the policy failures that have turned them into epidemics. They cover Jared's personal story, being raised by heroin addicts, his own struggle with addiction, surviving a decade on Skid Row, and how he got clean. They dissect the progressive policies that caused addiction and homelessness to explode, the multitude of non-profits intended to address the problems that are actually just scams, why you need ex-junkies running recovery programs, the difference between being homeless and being "houseless," the critical need to prosecute crime, and the immediate action steps that must be taken if the problems are to be effectively addressed.
