Summary

Nellie Bowles sits down with Bridget to talk about her new book Morning After the Revolution: Dispatches From The Wrong Side of History , a critique on the progressive cultural movement and its impacts on journalism, education, healthcare, and society at large. They discuss the suppression of curiosity and dissenting viewpoints in media, gender theory being taught in elementary schools, luxury beliefs, homelessness, the politicization of the lockdowns, and COVID deaths vs. fentanyl deaths. They also cover the sick pleasure elites take in endorsing a chaos that they don’t actually believe in, the restoration of the SATs, contradictions within transgender advocacy, the loss of faith in institutions, the reason conspiracies flourish, fake homesteading videos, moms who go hard, and whether these are the worst options for President we’ve ever had.

0:43.0	Texanter and I was like we can't release that like we need to re-record
0:47.8	because that was just like a nice catch-up but I don't want any of that out in the

1:10.0	misrepresented so in my mind I'm always like, oh, that's going to sound horrible, like
1:16.3	standing alone. Like on that one line on its own is going to sound way worse than it maybe is.
1:24.4	Going through all reporters and playing a game of hot or not like that could really be
