You're now a technocrat. 0:08:35.660 --> 0:08:36.600 I'm a policy wonk. 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:36.980 Four stars. 0:08:37.100 --> 0:08:38.960 Go home to your mother and tell. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.140 Her you're brilliant. Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:42.740 Daddy shark. 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:48.670 Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. 0:08:48.929 --> 0:08:52.670 He's a loser little titty baby. I don't want to 0:08:52.710 --> 0:08:55.250 hate black people. I renounce Jesus Christ. 0:08:55.470 --> 0:08:55.830 Thank you. 0:08:55.950 --> 0:08:56.830 Yes, thank you very much. 0:08:57.250 --> 0:09:01.540 So this is a Sunday episode, and Alex, you know, 0:09:01.980 --> 0:09:04.260 I think there's a lot of times where Sundays live 0:09:04.340 --> 0:09:07.140 a little bit outside of the continuity of his weekly 0:09:07.420 --> 0:09:09.800 weekday show. Sure, sure, sure, sure. This is one of 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.500 those examples. Like, I think that this is him trying 0:09:13.100 --> 0:09:16.750 some things on soft launch. Yep. But I mean, he 0:09:16.809 --> 0:09:17.790 is still the same person. 0:09:18.530 --> 0:09:20.590 You notice in my many years on air, I might 0:09:20.610 --> 0:09:23.350 have worn camouflage four times. This is the fourth time. 0:09:24.530 --> 0:09:26.109 And like I said on air yesterday in that special 0:09:26.130 --> 0:09:29.750 Saturday broadcast, let's get everybody's attention that the war has 0:09:29.830 --> 0:09:37.570 reached its peak. Cultural, spiritual, informational, military. It's hit the 0:09:37.610 --> 0:09:40.250 peak in history, and it's about to get even more insane. 0:09:42.130 --> 0:09:46.570 So that's just a symbol to everybody about how hardcore 0:09:46.610 --> 0:09:56.450 the situation is, okay? Now, if I wanted ratings, and 0:09:56.510 --> 0:10:00.630 I've been number one talk show host, podcaster, English person 0:10:00.650 --> 0:10:02.570 in the world for at least two years at one point, 0:10:02.809 --> 0:10:06.920 I'm always in the top five. If I wanted to 0:10:06.980 --> 0:10:11.800 be absolutely number one all the time, I know what 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:17.100 people want. I know what populists want, the majority of you, 0:10:17.420 --> 0:10:19.160 even though you're somewhat awake, not fully in my view. 0:10:20.350 --> 0:10:25.120 But I refuse to give it to you. The edgelording. 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.880 The doing nothing but bitching. The nothing but tearing Trump down. 0:10:30.620 --> 0:10:32.920 Alex is just refusing to accept what's happening in the 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.780 media space that's surrounding him. And it's leading to a 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.390 rise in the edgelording avant-garde Nazis that he hangs out with, 0:10:39.450 --> 0:10:41.929 gaining a much bigger piece of the pie than they 0:10:41.970 --> 0:10:45.870 should have. In Alex's mind, he always has to be right. 0:10:46.070 --> 0:10:48.620 But he's wrong a lot of the time. The best 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.559 way to pretend that you're right about something when you're 0:10:50.580 --> 0:10:53.179 very clearly wrong is to pretend that everyone who thinks 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.680 you're wrong completely misunderstands the point. And if they weren't 0:10:56.740 --> 0:10:59.800 so dumb, they would see that you're right. The issue 0:10:59.860 --> 0:11:03.099 right now that everyone is struggling with is that Trump sucks. 0:11:03.860 --> 0:11:06.960 According to Alex's own standards, he's an enemy of free speech, 0:11:07.020 --> 0:11:09.600 he's engaged in gun grabbing, he's abusing his power to 0:11:09.700 --> 0:11:13.800 use executive orders, he's violated posse comitatus, and he's actively 0:11:13.870 --> 0:11:16.809 involved in covering up a child sex trafficking and blackmail 0:11:16.870 --> 0:11:19.830 ring Because the globalists asked him to look the other way. 0:11:19.890 --> 0:11:20.010 Yeah. 0:11:20.650 --> 0:11:22.870 At the point when this episode is being aired, Trump 0:11:22.890 --> 0:11:25.469 has called Marjorie Taylor Greene a traitor and threatened to 0:11:25.490 --> 0:11:28.350 help primary her and other Republicans who have helped pass 0:11:28.390 --> 0:11:32.780 the Epstein Accountability Act, which is insane behavior. On top 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.980 of that, Trump is clearly not ending the longstanding wars 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:37.880 around the world that Alex is supposed to care a 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.860 lot about and is committing war crimes by blowing up 0:11:40.940 --> 0:11:43.690 boats that are alleged to be narcotics trafficking boats in 0:11:43.710 --> 0:11:47.610 a clear attempt to trigger a war with Venezuela. Trump sucks, 0:11:47.830 --> 0:11:50.190 and a lot of Alex's audience and Trump's base are 0:11:50.230 --> 0:11:53.880 starting to understand that. Trump's numbers are dropping, and Alex 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.200 hears a lot of people saying, you gotta move on 0:11:56.260 --> 0:11:59.580 from this guy. At this point, Alex's mind is already 0:11:59.660 --> 0:12:02.640 made up. For whatever reason, he's not going to be 0:12:02.660 --> 0:12:05.280 against Trump, so his move is to find a paradigm 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.800 where that is the right thing to do. Continuing to 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.219 be a Trump media surrogate is the right thing to do, 0:12:11.770 --> 0:12:14.390 if all the people who are criticizing Trump are just 0:12:14.429 --> 0:12:17.720 doing it to chase ratings. If being an edgelord and 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.320 being negative about Trump is just a hot new thing 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.540 in the dipshit media, then Alex maintaining his position of 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.990 supporting Trump is actually a sign of him having integrity. 0:12:26.830 --> 0:12:29.150 That's why he has to present the situation like this, 0:12:29.429 --> 0:12:31.990 where the people who can accurately assess that Trump sucks, 0:12:32.090 --> 0:12:35.559 they're all sellouts who are chasing an audience. One of 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.000 the interesting dynamics here is how this attitude is useful 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.319 in the moment and helps Alex feel better, but it 0:12:41.380 --> 0:12:44.540 is a big net negative. The longer he keeps up 0:12:44.580 --> 0:12:48.069 this delusional Trump is totally cool game as Trump continues 0:12:48.110 --> 0:12:50.790 to do indefensible shit, the more his audience is going 0:12:50.809 --> 0:12:53.310 to get confused about how this picture doesn't match up. 0:12:54.230 --> 0:12:56.770 Alex's take on this stuff, it just seems very biased. 0:12:57.190 --> 0:12:59.429 And even if you're dumb, you're going to see that. 0:13:00.210 --> 0:13:02.810 That's fine when Alex is the only game in town, 0:13:02.929 --> 0:13:05.670 but now that dipshit media that he's in, it's so 0:13:05.750 --> 0:13:08.290 full of different voices, and there are plenty of other 0:13:08.410 --> 0:13:10.949 options for an audience that wants to see an impassioned 0:13:11.050 --> 0:13:15.599 crypto-racist pretending to analyze tweets. In the past, people might 0:13:15.620 --> 0:13:17.740 have had to just suck it up and accept Alex's 0:13:17.780 --> 0:13:20.800 weird soft spot for Trump, but now he has competition 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.500 in a meaningful sense, and his refusal to get real 0:13:23.540 --> 0:13:27.569 about Trump is doing those people a huge favor. And 0:13:27.790 --> 0:13:30.689 he's complaining about them at the same time. All of 0:13:30.750 --> 0:13:34.900 his actions are only giving them more access to an audience, 0:13:35.059 --> 0:13:36.959 more money, more influence. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:37.340 Yeah. 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:38.140 Yeah. 0:13:38.220 --> 0:13:40.920 I mean, the only the only way that it makes 0:13:40.980 --> 0:13:45.340 sense is if three years from now, all of those 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.880 people are like, ah, we're going to vote a new 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:52.020 president office. And Trump is like, no, you're not. Uh, 0:13:52.100 --> 0:13:55.700 then Alex is prime spot. That's where you want to 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.300 be the moment. The no, you're not happens. 0:13:58.490 --> 0:13:58.780 Yeah. 0:13:58.850 --> 0:13:59.730 Otherwise he's fucked. 0:13:59.950 --> 0:14:01.829 No, I agree. I agree. But I also think that 0:14:01.950 --> 0:14:05.350 even if that is how things go, Alex is fucked. 0:14:05.690 --> 0:14:09.890 Cause like, I think you kill Alex. I don't think 0:14:09.950 --> 0:14:12.970 you bring him in as your head of propaganda or something. 0:14:13.190 --> 0:14:17.830 He is a wily, loose cannon who reveals his sources 0:14:17.910 --> 0:14:21.650 on the air while saying, I don't reveal sources. Sure. No, 0:14:21.710 --> 0:14:23.239 he's a gossip. 0:14:23.290 --> 0:14:26.420 Yeah, but loyalty is far more important. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.300 But I think that he can't be loyal because of 0:14:30.380 --> 0:14:31.820 tendencies that he has. 0:14:32.260 --> 0:14:34.260 Yeah, loyalty really is impossible for him. 0:14:34.420 --> 0:14:37.140 He can be loyal... In terms of like, I'm not 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.340 going to flip on this guy. Right, right, right, right. 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.380 But I will betray you by virtue of me existing 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:43.040 as myself. 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.180 I have to gossip. I can't keep secrets. I'll betray 0:14:46.220 --> 0:14:47.760 you in some way that I don't mean to. 0:14:47.860 --> 0:14:50.300 You're my source for things that you're off the record on, 0:14:50.500 --> 0:14:51.720 of course. Absolutely. 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:53.760 Yeah, he's a liability. 0:14:54.140 --> 0:14:56.610 Yeah, I mean, really, you just clean house. 0:14:57.410 --> 0:15:01.950 Yeah, you're right. So Trump is trying to clean house 0:15:02.290 --> 0:15:08.200 with people who care about Epstein. And he's attacking Marjorie 0:15:08.220 --> 0:15:11.480 Taylor Greene. Sure. And Alex isn't cool with this, but 0:15:11.500 --> 0:15:13.880 he's also like, come on, it's drama. What are you 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:14.300 going to do? 0:15:14.940 --> 0:15:16.740 And I know it's a fun drama to have him 0:15:16.780 --> 0:15:19.300 call an MTG, a traitor and her shooting back to 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:20.320 the targets on her back. 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:26.780 I talked to her today. Just like, oh, it was 0:15:26.900 --> 0:15:28.140 fun when Elon. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.740 Got kicked out and Trump's the king. 0:15:31.780 --> 0:15:32.880 And I said, not good. 0:15:34.610 --> 0:15:37.920 And Trump lost six, seven, eight points in key constituency 0:15:37.940 --> 0:15:39.260 from that and did never really get it back. He 0:15:39.580 --> 0:15:43.560 had his highest proofreading ever then. And Doge was just 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:44.760 wrecking the establishment. 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:47.700 It sure kind of was. 0:15:48.260 --> 0:15:52.310 And then you had Trump, worst misstep ever, telling his constituents, 0:15:52.350 --> 0:15:54.910 if you care about Epstein files, you're not MAGA. I mean, 0:15:54.950 --> 0:15:56.570 if I was trying to come up with a plan 0:15:56.590 --> 0:15:58.400 for Trump to destroy himself, that would be it. 0:16:00.370 --> 0:16:00.550 So. 0:16:01.850 --> 0:16:03.590 This is bad, folks. And I want to also explain 0:16:03.610 --> 0:16:06.230 what happens if we let the Democrats back in. Because 0:16:06.270 --> 0:16:08.850 all you having fun attacking Trump right now, which I'm 0:16:08.890 --> 0:16:11.550 saying I understand why you do, you still realize, hmm. 0:16:11.980 --> 0:16:12.240 Hmm. 0:16:13.220 --> 0:16:15.180 The end of the day, you got to fall in line. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:19.040 Yeah. Trump fighting with MTG and Elon are not fun dramas. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.270 They're concrete examples of how he's too immature to lead 0:16:22.390 --> 0:16:25.270 and incapable of dealing with a government organization where other 0:16:25.310 --> 0:16:28.470 people are allowed input. His comments about the Epstein files 0:16:28.530 --> 0:16:31.930 weren't a huge misstep. They were his natural and understandable 0:16:31.990 --> 0:16:34.690 response and an indication of how corrupt a guy he 0:16:34.730 --> 0:16:38.880 really is. This isn't fun drama. It's embarrassing. And at 0:16:38.900 --> 0:16:40.739 the end there, you get the bottom line for Alex. 0:16:41.210 --> 0:16:43.990 The enemy is always worse, so criticizing Trump in any 0:16:44.050 --> 0:16:46.840 way that threatens his hold on power really just makes 0:16:46.890 --> 0:16:49.640 it more likely that the enemy will take power, so 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:53.260 there's nothing Trump could ever do to deserve real consequences. 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.120 In effect, Alex is saying the exact same thing that 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.020 Trump did when he said that people who care about 0:16:59.100 --> 0:17:03.080 Epstein aren't real MAGA. You are not real MAGA if 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.740
