Carley, do we even need the
Carley? Do we even need the
Republican Party,
Washington, Post Self proclaimed
conservative columnist getting
slammed for asking that in her
latest op ed
in it, Jennifer Rubin criticizes
the Trump cultists she says are
driving the party into the ground.
Elizabeth Pipko joins me,
column says. Maybe the real
question is not what the
Republican Party will believe or
whether we need it at all.
Perhaps there is no decent party
of the right to be had.
What is your response to that
number? One wow
in general, it seems, like
everything has been so
politicized, latelying theres,
nothing to take from that,
except for an attempt to divide
the country. Further
its an you attempt attempt to M
the Republican Party must be
divided in the country.
Carley we have tv shows
getting canceled tv getting
canceled. The latest was the
Goya CEO speaking at the White
House, and supporting the
president.
Celebrities are speaking out
against cancel culture.
Rickrickrickey Gervais says this:
its choosing not to watch a
completan because you dont, like
them, thats everyones right
when people are trying to get
someone fired because they dont,
like their opinion about
something thats, nothing to do
with their job thats. What I
call cancel culture and thats,
not cool
singer, Kelly Roland said im, so
grateful God, never canceled me
and im sure he could have many
times.
Let us try to remember not to
judge others.
We honestly dont have the
space nor authority to do so,
which I think is a beautiful
statement.
It seems like people are really
reveling in the downfall of
others.
How did we get here? And what can
we do to fix this?
Its absolutely awful
its weird, because people
obviously see the cancel culture
mob coming for anyone in their
tracks,
its bigger than that
we have a new generation of
people growing up that are going
to be kept from anything that
might make them slightly
uncomfortable and we dont
realize thats, probably going to
keep them from growing up to be
well rounded individuals
Carley. I know you had
experience with cancel culture
yourself.
You are a model, you know thats
one of the top agencies out
there, and then you came out as a
trump supporter.
What was that experience like
for you?
It was really hard.
It was strange because to me I
was just excited to be a
21 year old, getting the
opportunity of a lifetime to
work on the campaign.
I didnt know it would go to the
White House, but it was a
campaign that was going to make
history.
The fact that I was judged by
something as tiny as a vote
without anyone knowing who I am
apart from that it was hard
its scary to know people were
dealing with that all across the
country.
Carley you have a book coming
out on August, 25th called
finding my place, making my
parents american dream, come
true, and you detail your story
in that book and we want to
congratulate you for it. Coming
out.
It also comes out on the 40th forty
anniversary of your fathers
escape from the Soviet Union,
which im sure is something that
youyour family is very proud. Tha.
