Dive into a provocative discussion with Matt Lewis and Guy Denton as they dissect the news of Elon Musk allegedly welcoming his 13th child with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair. In this episode, they explore the fascinating intersection of celebrity, traditional conservative values, and modern family dynamics on Presidents Day. Matt, with his deep roots in conservative media, questions the apparent hypocrisy of celebrating Musk as a conservative icon while he leads a lifestyle that starkly contrasts with traditional family values. They tackle whether it's fair game to point out this contradiction or if personal lives should be left out of political critique. The conversation also ventures into the broader implications of celebrity influence on culture, the "no guardrails problem," and how influencers in today's digital age mirror the rock stars of yesteryears. Beyond the Musk controversy, they touch on Trump's latest social media declarations, comparing him to historical figures like Napoleon, and discuss the enduring relevance of classic conservative thinkers like Edmund Burke in modern politics. For fans of cultural commentary and political analysis, this episode is packed with insights, humor, and a bit of wrestling and Super Bowl talk. Join us for a thought-provoking journey through today's headlines, where we promise to make you think, laugh, and maybe even question the status quo.
