Summary

"Now you go on social media and you only get to see one opinion. So how do you expect people to ever have a differing point of view? They aren't allowed to make their own choices really. It's almost, in a sense, like mind control because people aren't allowed to see a different point of view...so of course they're going to align with the ONLY point of view that they see. It's a really scary thing." 🗣 Today I talk with Prager U's Will Witt, a young Conservative who has developed a following because of his willingness to tackle some tough questions and present the information to the public. With over a quarter of a million followers on his social media channels, Will has been busy educating young adults on what Conservatism really is. In this interview, we get to know Will a little better — what he was like as a child, how his political beliefs have changed over time, and the importance of personal responsibility. He also shares with us some exciting new projects he has in the works. Enjoy and share with your friends! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

I am here today with a special guest that many of you will know as being part of this audience.

This is somebody who has made a name for himself with his content he's

created on Prager You and his own video content, his own podcast. Today we are

talking with Will Witt. Welcome to the show. Thanks for having me.

So I kind of wanted, like I told you in our email exchanges, I wanted to kind of talk a little bit about you. So I know a lot of times

0:44.3

you're interviewing somebody or you are discussing your different views specifically, but I kind of

0:50.6

wanted to go into a little bit about you because I don't know how often you really get the opportunity to do that and I'm sure your listeners, my listeners would really like to kind of know what has brought you to the place that you are today with what you're doing.

1:07.0

So my first question for you is, at what point, I always find this interesting because I feel

1:11.9

like people's past basically leads them, you know,

1:14.7

onto their path, their belief system. So I want to know at what point do you first remember

1:19.9

having an interest in politics and then that aligning with conservative views.

1:25.6

First time I really had an interest in politics is when I became a conservative and I was

1:30.3

in my sophomore year of college. I was never a political person before that at all.

1:36.0

I never really even thought about it. My freshman year of college, I mean I wouldn't even be able to tell you

1:40.5

the differences between a Republican and a Democrat.

1:42.8

I wouldn't be able to tell you what socialism was,

1:44.8

anything like that.

1:45.6

And now I, you know, funnily enough,

go out and give speeches about all these different topics
