🎙️ EP#388 | DSD | Strokes, Gen Z, and Candace, Tucker, Nick F., Erika Kirk & TPUSA Events
In this wild solo ride, Ray returns to the mic unapologetically raw and fully loaded — bouncing from stroke prevention to the seismic shift happening inside the conservative movement. He opens up about why the interviews are back in full swing and gives a candid breakdown of what’s resonating with listeners lately (hint: Nick Fuentes is moving numbers). Then things get real as Ray breaks down the widening fault lines in the Republican party, focusing on the Candace Owens–Nick Fuentes–Tucker Carlson triangle, Turning Point USA’s changing face, and the strange silence from Erica Kirk.
From Gen Z torching legacy talking points at Turning Point events to sharp clips on 9/11 Building 7 and the troubling unanswered questions about the Charlie Kirk narrative, this episode doesn’t hold back. Ray throws major props to young truth-seekers who are pushing boundaries and asking the right questions — whether it's about Israel, the GOP civil war, or the media's deafening silence. He ties it all back to faith, unity, and a surprising moment of interfaith respect that might catch some off guard.
To top it off, he throws health back in the mix with a strong PSA on stroke warning signs, breaking down pre-symptoms that could save lives. This is one of those episodes that hops topics — but stays razor-focused on one thing: waking people up. Whether you're here for the politics, the health gems, or just the real talk, this is peak DSD.
