This is an episode 20 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: where we just tell you some of the stuff that's 21 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: trending this afternoon, Thursday, November twenty First, but first, Matt 22 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: Gates guilty as hell. Huh. I guess is what we 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: want to. 24 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: Tell Yeah, pour a bottle of piss out for this one, 25 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 3: another one or the first. This is I guess technically 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 3: the first Trump l so far of this future administration, 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 3: the utah at Gates. 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: To withdraw one of these nominees at a time when 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: absolutely nobody can tell him shit, Like he just spent 30 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: a whole year just being like, I don't give a 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: fuck what anyone tells me. I'm going to keep doubling 32 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: and tripling down. And he believes he's right about everything 33 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: that has every he could possibly do, Like there's no 34 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: scenario in his mind where he does something wrong now 35 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: or in the future. Absolutely for Matt Gates to like, 36 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: the evidence on this motherfucker must be so damning. I 37 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: mean it to be, like, all right, except for that one. 38 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: I was bad, my bad on that one. 39 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 3: It was damning the second you heard it and you 40 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 3: knew there was evidence of all of it. They're like, 41 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: we have payments, we have witnesses. They're talking about trafficking minors, 42 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 3: statutory rape. That's all there. I think for me, I think, 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 3: you know, the biggest thing was when he resigned to say, like, oh, 44 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: I'm actually doing that because I'm going to be nominated 45 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: to be, you know, attorney general. The thing that his 46 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: resignation did was effectively end the jurisdiction the House Ethics 47 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: Committee had over him in terms of investigating this behavior, 48 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: this misconduct, these crimes. So by doing that, he basically 49 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 3: made that investigation toothless. And then there was this whole 50 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: thing about, well, well they release the report. There was enough 51 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: pressure that apparently they're like, yeah, we're not going to 52 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: release the report. And now I just don't think this 53 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 3: is the end of Matt Gates. I mean, there's already 54 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: talk of him replacing Marco Rubio as a senator, so 55 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: it could just be this, like, you know, they were 56 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: looking one move to sort of stop the ethics report 57 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: coming out, but then he gets to hop on Marco 58 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 3: Rubio's Senate seat and he still gets to be a 59 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: basically of just a firebrand in the Senate to do Trump. 60 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: One way or another, We're getting this pedophile in a 61 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: position of power. 62 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, either way, either way is what that looks like. 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 3: And so yeah, I think it was the evidence. I 64 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: think also just generally because some people were. 65 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: Like is he doing it? 66 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: Like people were speculating like is Trump doing this just 67 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: to humiliate Matt Gates during the confirmation because Democrats do 68 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 3: get to ask questions unless he went for like the 69 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: recess appointment thing, which sounds like some Republicans in the 70 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: House are pushing back on that idea. So this is 71 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: the one thing is that, like, although Trump does have 72 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 3: control over the Republican Party and people are bowing to him, 73 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: there's still other elements that are trying to do something 74 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: slightly different. So it's at the moment slowing things down 75 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: a little bit. But all that to say, Pete Hegseth 76 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: is still in the running to be a Secretary of Defense, 77 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: even though the police report around the like the rape 78 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: allegations are have surfaced and it's terrible, and yeah, he's 79 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 3: now like he was caught I think a Capitol Hill 80 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 3: people ask him like, hey, what the fuck is this man? 81 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: Like we're seeing hearing a lot about this, and the 82 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 3: police report was released, he said, quote as far as 83 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: the media is concerned, it's very simple. The matter was 84 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 3: fully investigated and I was completely cleared. And that's where 85 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: I'm going to leave it. 86 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: But that's not true nor yes exactly, so I think, yeah, 87 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: sure there were no charges were filed, but there's still 88 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: a police report that's out. 89 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: So as far as the media is concerned, No, we're 90 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: talking about this very this police report right here that 91 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: details all the sex crime is that you committed as 92 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: far as. 93 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 3: Well, what about reality, as far as reality. 94 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: Is concerned, Yeah, why don't you ask CNN anytime I 95 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: do something wrong, I'm just gonna blame blame the media 96 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: because they do suck in a lot of ways. And 97 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: so yeah, uh yeah. I mean he has control over 98 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: the government and the Republican Party and a lot of 99 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: people who are preemptively just being like I don't want 100 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: to be in trouble with the fascists. But he doesn't 101 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: have control over the fabric of reality. And I think 102 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: that's going to come in a surprise to him and 103 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: some of his supporters. 104 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: He's like, I've just nominated Sid six point seven to 105 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: be the arbiter of accepted reality. You might remember him 106 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: as the bad guy from Virtuosity. 107 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: That's right, and we all do, and I did even 108 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: before we just had that conversation four minutes ago. Netflix 109 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: is being sued over the Glitchy Tyson Paul fight. I 110 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: always love a good lawsuit. That's like this thing that 111 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: was inconvenient happened to me, and I am seeking damages 112 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: of at least fifty million dollars. 113 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: Wait, wait, someone's suing because he was glitchy. 114 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: The shit was glitchy, dude, I love that. 115 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're so litigious for the worst reasons. I was 116 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 3: so glitchy, man. Fifty million, Yeah, fifty million. 117 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's like if they're seeking class 118 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: action damages fifty million dollars, yeah, so across they want 119 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: to get sifty yo, I had fifty I was going 120 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: to the casino on that night, and I would have 121 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: made fifty million dollars. But yeah, I get I guess 122 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: their idea is that a lot of people were inconvenienced 123 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: by the glitchy ass presentation, and I respect it. 124 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: I bet this dude bet on Tyson to win lost 125 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: a bet, and now we're just trying to recoup his 126 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: money somehow by being. 127 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: Like, if it hadn't been glitch g then maybe he 128 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: would have won, just as a very bad understanding of how. 129 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 3: But the fight still happened and the result remains. I 130 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 3: don't know, man, who knows. 131 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: Legs look shaky because the feed was shaky. 132 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, Schrodinger's boxing match. 133 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: Uh. And then authenticity, just the this idea. I just 134 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: want to keep talking about it because it feels like 135 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: it's going to be the big thing. It's It's my 136 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: takeaway from like this past election is it was the 137 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: determining factor in many ways. Like it's the one thing 138 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: that people seem to believe Trump has is like he 139 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: has this appearance of authenticity, not because he has any 140 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: deeply held, authentic human beliefs about what he can do 141 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: and like how to benefit people. But he's the most 142 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: willing to say fuck you to the mainstream media. 143 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 3: And not for reasons, just saying fuck you for describing 144 00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 3: what I'm doing. 145 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: He will keep saying it, and he will say it 146 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,119 Speaker 1: even louder if as they point out him being wrong. 147 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: I do think it's really the only unique thing about 148 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: him as a politician, his willingness to say whatever benefits him, 149 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: regardless of what the media what, Like the you know, 150 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: Democratic Party establishment and you know, in twenty sixteen, the 151 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: Republican Party establishment said he would he was just had 152 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: an unshakeable belief in himself and the way he saw 153 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: things that was fueled by pathological narcissism. But it ended 154 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: up working out for him. And I think, on the 155 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: other hand, like the Democratic Party seems to have the 156 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: opposite of this. They seem to be worried about what 157 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: the mainstream media will say about them at all times. 158 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris changed her positions, went to the right in 159 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: a bunch of ways that felt completely out of line 160 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: with what we knew of her from before. But I 161 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: think also like just remember, I think we've also lost 162 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: sight of like who the most unpopular politician in the 163 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: presidential election was. It actually wasn't Kamala Harris. It was JD. Vance, 164 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: And like he was the person who is the most opportunistic, 165 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: position changing, inauthentic, sellout piece of shit that like that 166 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: that is just the one thing that everybody knew about 167 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: him from the start, is he a few years ago 168 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: was calling Trump hitler and then became you know, a 169 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: sniveling boot thrower, and people despised him. And I just 170 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: I don't think people are wrong to value this necessarily 171 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: because like we were talking about, like with the the 172 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: idea of people having like an allergic reaction to these 173 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: like super complex bureaucratic solutions that are like neoliberalism does 174 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: hide behind complexity, and it does end up fucking you 175 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: over in a lot of ways, like whether it be 176 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: you know, health insurance or you know, government programs that 177 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: end up you know, getting taken over by corporations. And 178 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: I think like authenticity, like we exist in a world where, 179 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: like from our youngest days, we are being sent manipulative 180 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: messages via marketing that like are trying to control you 181 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: and dissuade you. And I think it's like one of 182 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: the ways that people are very sophisticated now, and politicians 183 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: and like big mainstream political parties just still seem to 184 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: be like a generation behind. They're like talking to people 185 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: who aren't aware that that is happening, right, And yeah, 186 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: I mean I think it's fucking them. 187 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 3: A lot of the DNC ideas feel like they came 188 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 3: from like your divorced sixty year old uncle who like 189 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 3: just realized you can wear a hat backwards and yeah, hey, 190 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: you know it'll be cool. 191 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: Exactly we just saw you walk in with the fanny pack, 192 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: take it off and turn your hat around backwards, and 193 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: turn the chair around backwards. Like we saw that. You 194 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: can't make us not see that. But I just I'm 195 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: raising it now because like you talked about, like the 196 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: way that the Democratic Party is responding to the election is, guys, 197 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: we need to shift to the right. You need to 198 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: keep changing our position, keep adopting new positions now that 199 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: you know, throw everybody under the bus. Like that is 200 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: the hardening consensus around what this election is. And like 201 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: I I don't really feel any panic about it because 202 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: I didn't think that the mainstream Democratic Party or the 203 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: mainstream media was going to be the solution. I just 204 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: but we need to like recognize that's what it's going 205 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: to be. It's not coming whatever is next is not 206 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: coming from the mainstream media. It's not coming from the 207 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. It's going to be something that they make 208 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: fun of, and that thing needs to target them and 209 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: like have that be a part of what they're saying 210 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: from the start. They have to like have five, you know, 211 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: very specific messages and one of them needs to be 212 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: fuck the mainstream media and the you know, Biden administration. 213 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, or or not just doing it like in the 214 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 3: sort of maga way of like fuck the mainstream media 215 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 3: is like you talk about the corporate capture of media, Yeah, 216 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 3: how it doesn't serve you to actually talk But again, 217 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 3: depending on you know what level of DNC strategist you're 218 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: talking about, Like, no, dude, maybe it is good to 219 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: like adopt that language. 220 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: I think. 221 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 3: You know, we're currently just experiencing an omni crisis in 222 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 3: the United States. So it's the it's the authenticity, it's 223 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 3: the misogyny, it's the racism. All of these things are 224 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 3: sort of coming together to create a fucking ball rog 225 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 3: of disaster, political disaster that you know, the Democrats had 226 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 3: to face off with. But yeah, I think the thing though, 227 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 3: truly like which the reason it's trending to this idea 228 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: of authenticity. There's a Pew Research study that came out 229 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: this week that was just talking about how like percent 230 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 3: of American adults are like they're not getting it from 231 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 3: the main stream media at all, Like they're getting their 232 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 3: news from quote news influencers or what the study defines 233 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 3: as a person who consistently posts news related content with 234 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: more than one hundred thousand followers on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok x, 235 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 3: or YouTube. That's there again, this is more than fifty 236 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 3: million people getting their news base sweat. When Pugh asked 237 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 3: adults from the age of eighteen twenty nine, that number 238 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 3: increases to thirty seven percent. So this is like a 239 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: this is again part of the shifting media diet of 240 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: like that people are consuming. And we also this is 241 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 3: why we're hearing so much now too, because clearly the 242 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 3: right has an advantage in this department of their own 243 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 3: like talk a sphere, blogger sphere, influencers, spheres of influences, 244 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 3: and the Democrats are constant like what are we what 245 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 3: are we gonna do? Like we need our own Joe Rogan. 246 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 3: That doesn't mean they need to be pumping more money 247 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 3: into like Podsay of America or things like that, although 248 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: that's probably exactly what they're thinking, because these people have 249 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 3: been stallwarts for the establishment Democratic Party. But there's this 250 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: in this Wired article, they spoke with this woman Emelia Montooth, 251 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: who's like a creator progressive creator, and this was her 252 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 3: takes you said quote what the right does really well 253 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 3: is having a funnel that I believe starts with barstool 254 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: sports that reaches mass audiences. The left is missing the 255 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 3: top and middle of these funnels. Rather than working with 256 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 3: individual influencers, they should focus on building that piece of 257 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 3: the ecosystem, that funnel. Because it is true, like it's 258 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: if you're not. Most people are not explicitly looking for 259 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: political content like on the Internet. They want entertainment. So 260 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: if they're if they're even trying to replicate that, I 261 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, like, you already have huge funnels 262 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: for content. Now are they gonna start platforming people that 263 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 3: are more I don't know. It's just hard to kind 264 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 3: of figure out. But I do see that part of 265 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 3: the puzzle of like you capture people with a larger 266 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 3: sort of you know, again just general sort of entertainment, 267 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 3: and then from there they begin to infuse a lot 268 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: of like political talkers or things, platform them and normalize 269 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 3: them via that route. But I just don't think like 270 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 3: most of the people. 271 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: Like there's The Ringer, right, that's a very popular sports network, 272 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,359 Speaker 1: like probably comparable to barstool, maybe not as big as barstool, 273 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: but it's big and popular and influential, But it has 274 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: like no political stance because it's just sort of a 275 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: mainstream media aligned you know, like it's just probably center left. 276 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: I actually don't know what the politics of the people 277 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: involved in the ring are, but like, I don't think 278 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: there's any there there in the same way that they're 279 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, whereas like barstool, I guess it just feels 280 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: like it's like a lot of the answers that are 281 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: coming from people are like okay, and then we need 282 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: a forty slide power point to explain like the many 283 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: different steps of addressing this. And it's just like it 284 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: because like nobody everybody has just been like, well, the 285 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: Democrats like are kind of the standard, and like as 286 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: a mainstream media institution, we just like kind of trickle 287 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: down to that, and people have rejected that because they've 288 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: rejected like this neoliberal order, and so I don't know, 289 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: there's like a lot of like I think people are 290 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: going to try to make the Joe Rogan of the 291 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: left and it's just going to be the same thing 292 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: we've already had, which. 293 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 3: There's a lot of yeah, right, I think again, the 294 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: Joe Rogan of the left avoids the are the policies 295 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 3: the problem. 296 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 297 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: That's really I think what we're getting at in the 298 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 3: end is that while that can help and you can 299 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: maybe try and like balance the scales in terms of 300 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 3: like the number of visitors consumers of this content to 301 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 3: sort of like lean more to the left, the bigger 302 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: issue is that the policies and if if that's not 303 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: the first point of interrogation and any kind of post 304 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 3: mortem on this election, it's going to be an absolute failure. 305 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 3: But again, I think that's why there is so much 306 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: emphasis on talking about like it, this is it, this 307 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 3: is this, rather than are are we like completely fucking 308 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 3: ourselves over because we are unwilling to grapple these problems 309 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 3: that are being caused by our biggest donors, right, and 310 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 3: we are so locked in with them that we've been 311 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 3: rendered inert in terms of addressing those problems because we're 312 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: just kind of we like to we like to pick 313 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 3: a part at the margins. Yeah, it's tough, but yeah, 314 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 3: I think again, like the point about authenticity, it's the 315 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 3: same thing of like are you being consistent with who 316 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 3: you think is vulnerable and who are you're protecting? Because 317 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 3: if that's sliding all over the place, that's hard to 318 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 3: be taken seriously, right, But. 319 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: It's nobody has really tried this. That's that's the thing 320 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: to you, Like nobody is currently like in the last election, 321 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: like they're going to tell you, well, the Democrats tried 322 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: to like be progressive and it failed.
