1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Now, ladies and gentlemen, before we go, I wanted to

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: share a story with you, and I tease this at

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: the start of the show, and I've got one bit

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: of fan feedback I'll bring to you afterwards.

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: But my encounter with Kid Rock. So I was up

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: at Capitol.

7
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: Hill after one of my meetings and I was waiting

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: outside for an uber again, freezing in the snow. I

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: think I was wearing open toad shoes because I'm an idiot,

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: and I'm standing there frozen, and all of a sudden,

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: outwalks Kid Rock, who had been testifying it some ticket

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: senate hearing, and I was watching him whilst I was inside.

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: Actually you speak a little bit, and he was very

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: impressive and whatever else, and I thought, oh, he follows

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: me on X and he does. He only follows like

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: two or three hundred people, and I'm one of them.

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: And I remember when he did. I was so excited.

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: So he walks out and he starts to walk over

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: to my direction. I'm just standing there alone. There's He's

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: got a couple of kind of his people. I obviously

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: have no people. And anyway, I normally I never approached

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: celebrities or famous people. I don't ask for photos. I'm

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: not a I just don't. I remember my dad used

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: to say to me years ago, like, if you ask

25
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: someone for an autograph, it means you're saying.

26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: You're better than me, and no one's better than you.

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: But I thought I didn't think we were peers. Okay,

28
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm not putting myself in kid Rocks category. But because

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: he follows me an X, I assumed that he must

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: know who I am, so I kind of I kind

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: of walk over as he's walking down the steps, and

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: I put my hand out, and at first I say kid, like, oh,

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: that's not even his name, it's like his stage name.

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't like, what do people call him? I don't

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: know when I was like kid, And so then I'd

36
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: already died inside because I was embarrassed. And I was

37
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: like and I was like, he's going to recognize me.

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he only follows trying to fixture people. He

39
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: must love my commentary, he must. He looks at me

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: like I'm a nutcase. I said a kid eron. Oh

41
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: my god, his.

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Face, I mean.

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: It kind of, I was like, come, and then I said,

44
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: you follow me on X still nothing. In fact, he

45
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: did like the look beyond me, almost like a cry

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: for help. That's what his look beyond me said to me.

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: And I should have just but I said the Australian commentator,

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I talk about politics and foreign affairs and national security.

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, he wasn't rude.

50
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: He was I mean friendly, but he kind of said, well,

51
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: he didn't kind of.

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: He actually just said other people run my account, and.

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: I, oh, oh, nice to meet you, and then his

54
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: person kind of pulled him along and he likes smarter.

55
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: I die.

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I can ever come back from that.

57
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: So that was my encounter with kid Rock. So we've

58
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: established that he himself did not follow me on X,

59
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: that he himself is not a fan of mine, that

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: he himself has no idea who I am, and that

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: he himself had no interest in getting to know who

62
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: I am. That was evident he'd had a long day.

63
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was tired. Now, ladies and gentlemen, before

64
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: I let you go, because it's been a long episode,

65
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: let me give you the little bit of fan feedback.

66
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: This came to my emails from anonymous anonymous dot com.

67
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: They emailed me a lot, by the way, and believe

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: you me, not just anonymous, but this specific person.

69
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: Why don't you put.

70
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: In your real name and your email address? Speak cowardly

71
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: erin I watched your short. You took a lot of

72
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: artistic life. Don't undermine your integrity. Your assertion is at

73
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: least two degrees of separation from what was said on

74
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: that video clip you played. First, it was not Trump's voice.

75
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: It was a narrative overlay of images. Second, he didn't

76
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: single anyone out. It was a blanket statement, and again

77
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: not Trump himself speaking. Please don't do this. We are

78
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: all yearning for him to do it, you said, But

79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: he didn't do it. So this was clickbait and all

80
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: wishful thinking. But don't manipulate your audience like that. You're

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: better than that, Well, anonymous at anonymous dot com, Where

82
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: do I even start a If I wanted to go

83
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: down the rabbit hole of clickbait, I would, and I'd

84
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: do it very effectively.

85
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: We don't. Yes, we use headlines.

86
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: And things we think will draw in an audience because

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: we want as many people as possible to see the show,

88
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: because we believe in it. We believe the more people

89
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: who see it, the better off the world will be.

90
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: And that's fine if you think that's arrogant. I mean,

91
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be doing this otherwise. But it's not clickbait.

92
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: Everything you said there is wrong. Donald Trump's official account

93
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: on truth Social posted this video and over the faces

94
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: of Candace and Tucker, it said, stfu, it's time to

95
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: shut the beep up. Now when you post something like that.

96
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: And he didn't even repost it. But you'll notice on

97
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: x they have this scene where often in the bio

98
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: of someone's profile, they'll say a repost is not an endorsement,

99
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: because people assume, quite rightly in most cases, when someone

100
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: does something, if they haven't kind of qualified it that

101
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: it is Donald Trump posting a video to his own

102
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: account without any context that has the words in it

103
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: over the face of Candace and Tucker STFU.

104
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 2: Is as good as.

105
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: The President saying Tucker, Candace, shut the up. So don't

106
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: accuse me of manipulating my audience or clickbaiting.

107
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: I did neither. That was not two three degrees.

108
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: It was a post on his account that had images

109
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: of their faces and the words STFU. Now, if he

110
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: posted that with the words this is awful and mean,

111
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: and I disagree entirely. I love Tuck and I love Candice,

112
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: then you'd be right.

113
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: He didn't.

114
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: He posted it as is to his own account, didn't

115
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: even repost it or retruth it or whatever the hell

116
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: it is.

117
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: He screen recorded people, you know, they deal with his permission.

118
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure he didn't scream record it and posted it

119
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: to his account.

120
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: So again, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

121
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: I love you all, Thank you so much for watching, Mom,
