Who is Kelley Dennison and why is she called America’s ‘Goth Baddie’ running for Colorado’s 2nd District?
Kelly Dennison is the Gen Z nominee, Republican for Colorado's second congressional district. The internet is calling her the America's first goth baddie. She was raised a Democrat, but has left. I'm very interested in people that change their mind. I think changing your mind is an important skill that everyone needs to... So we can all adjust our priors, as they say. She will talk to us about this. She's 27. You can follow her on X at Kelly. That's K-E-L-L-E-Y for C-O-2. Kelly's having a little technical problem. So we're going to be talking to her, but not seeing her today. And we're anxious that everyone get a load of what her thoughts are. Then attorney and Rebel host, Eva Fry joins me. One of my favorite guests, Canadian wildfire smoke, choking millions of us.
there's a number of things uh including tariffs i'd like to talk to old viva about right now and then finally dr william parker is a visiting scholar at unc chapel hill he's a chemist phd three decades researching human immune dysfunction and autism at duke he's here to talk about his new book tylenol and autism we're gonna talk a little science and uh speaking of updating updating your priors Very few people do these days and science is done in a incredibly sloppy manner. So I look forward to having a conversation with him about that. All of that coming right up. Our laws as it pertained to substances are draconian and bizarre. The psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin.
Ridiculous. I'm a doctor. Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say.
Kelly Dennison, goth baddie. I think I gave her the... Wrong X handle. We'll talk to her about that in a sec. No, maybe it is CO2, but I've got both Kelly for CO and Kelly for CO2 and Kelly's with an EY. This is her first national exposure. So everyone welcome her. She's a business owner. She's an activist focusing on economic affordability and energy stability. Who doesn't want that? Kelly Dennison, thank you and welcome to the program.
Hi, Drew. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
So I think the most interesting thing to me is people that update their point of view and then change teams or move around or become independent, whatever it might be. What moved you?
Yes, I think what changed for me was realizing that the good intentions that are screamed by the left weren't good enough. The world is difficult and policies have consequences. And I felt those as an adult when I moved out into the world and started paying my own bills, especially utility bills, grocery bills, that radicalized me. And it's not because I stopped caring about people in the world. It's because I care about them enough to want solutions, specifically economically, that actually work.
Yeah, of course. I mean, this idea that one group is a bad group and wants to hurt people and the other group's a good group and wants to help people, it's the most insane thing I've ever seen.
It is.
But the one thing I'm hearing from Gen Zers, and I want you to explain this to me because I really, I really... I don't know what to tell them exactly. And maybe you can help me with this. I will point out you're advocating for a system that doesn't work if you're socialism or communism or whatever it might be. This has been tried and tried and tried and tried. And this is not going to work here. And the usual January response is, well, this isn't working. So other than telling them, yeah, I agree with you. Affordability is a massive problem. You mentioned utility bills. We need to up our energy game. We need to get inflation under control. We need to improve businesses and grow the economy.
