Summary
I know things over the last two weeks have been extremely heavy. I found myself more fatigued than I ever remember being. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, getting doxxed and looking at the world burn it really brings up the question "Is there hope left?" Is there room to bridge the ever widening gap happening across America?
Caroline Stout, like me, was part of that faction once, including working at Turning Point USA. Today we discuss our journey's about how we left, because here's the thing- if two people that were as entrenched as we were can leave- anyone can leave. As we watch Christian Nationalism spin into a frenzy and we watch the America we thought we had fall into rubble...
People will wake up
People can wake up
People will leave
I hope this conversation gives you hope. Hope for change, hope for the future, hope for a better tomorrow. Because we can change. And at the end of the day we are being pushed into a rhetoric of right vs. left, christian vs. heathen, good vs. evil when that is NOT the battle.
The battle is and always will be top vs. bottom. The people pitting us against each other are picking our pockets, lining their mansions with money they don't need and could never spend.
My neighbor is not my enemy

| 0:30.0 | Today is September 19th, and the last week and a half has been maybe the most difficult week in this work that I've experienced as a fairly |
| 0:39.5 | new, new person to this space. We witnessed the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the changes in the |
| 0:45.9 | administration, the announcement of a new patriotic civics course, the firing of Jimmy Kimmel |
| 0:53.2 | for voicing an opinion, declarations of |
| 0:55.8 | resistance groups being terrorist groups. And it's been a lot. And I understand that it's been a lot. |
| 1:01.4 | And I'm very excited to have this next guest come on. So if you're wondering why in the previous |
| 1:06.6 | episodes, I didn't talk about what was going on with Charlie Kirk. It was because this is the |
| 1:10.1 | first recording I'm making after his death. And we're going to talk about that. And today I have a very |
| 1:16.2 | special guest that I met through social media. Her name is Caroline Stout. And also like me, |
| 1:23.3 | a former conservative, a former conservative who in fact fact, used to work for turning point in the |
| 1:28.7 | first Trump administration. And today we're going to focus not just on her journey and both of |
| 1:33.6 | our deconstructions, but on healing. There's a lot of people who follow my platform who are either |
| 1:38.3 | former conservatives and some are former MAGA and some people are lost and they're confused |
| 1:43.6 | and they're scared. |
| 1:44.6 | And we are going to talk all about that and talk about how do we have these conversations |
| 1:48.4 | in the midst of a time where things are spiraling into a fever pitch? |
