All I wanna be is a joker All I wanna be is a joker Hello everybody, it's Monday, June 17th, 2024, and Chopo is back at it again.
Here to kick off the week, it's me, Felix and Alex back in the cut. Pope Alex Nichols, welcome back.
What's up?
Oh yeah, I was the Pope.
We had a great live show.
Yeah.
WFYM.
WFYM, everyone check that out.
But to kick things off for this week and today,
I thought I'd start with a bit of noobs on the lighter side.
This is a story that came across about a popular haircut that is sparking outrage across Texas.
Now, this is a haircut that we have referred to obliquely on the show, usually in conjunction
with gangs of people who steal catalytic converters.
But I thought this would take some further explanation.
Headline here.
Popular haircut sparks outrage across Texas as the restaurant threatens to ban customers
sporting divisive style.
Felix, you know what haircut they're talking about?
Yes, this is the Edgar.
This is the bowl cut that has swept the nation since 2022.
I don't really think it's divisive.
Well, you know.
Let me take a look at this.
It says a popular haircut known as.
I mean these are just Latinos.
Yeah, it's a Latino bowl cut.
What is divisive about that?
If a white kid has this,
like I see, I looked it up on Google Images
and I see a white blonde kid
and I think you can, maybe that kid should catch some shit, but the Mexican guys, I think that's just
like, you're just racist against Mexican guys.
Yeah.
I think that's why it's the best thing.
If a white blonde kid has this, it's like, okay, you're the village yokel.
You are, you know, you are, you, you were a squire and you got kicked in the head by
a horse, but now you delight with you
Yeah, you reply to Melanie Mac you reply to that exactly
But if you're Mexican have this you could really you're a genius you could do whatever you want
You can be a genius you can be a regular guy
You can be a bowl cut is a symbol of genius in many cultures. Yeah, no, it's it represents equilibrium.
Well, the news article says here a popular haircut known as the
Edgar has sparked backlash with some restaurants in schools
seeking to ban those who sport it. So yeah, I mean, keep in mind,
this is Texas. I mean, this is just we're banning Latinos from
public accommodations. But it says here the bowl shaped cut, which has been compared to a modern
bow of three Stooges and Spock of Star Trek look is typically favored by
Mexican-American young men who are known as Edgars.
And then going on here in the article, it says here, following, this is a restaurant.
It says following the melee local local restaurateur Ricky Ortiz
posted a meme with no Edgar's sign on social media suggesting he did not want anyone with
the haircut in his popular restaurants El Camino, Bésame, A Quechula, and Perfect Tender.
Those restaurants sound terrible.
Perfect Tender?
Those restaurants sound fucking terrible.
How are you banning Mexican people?
I bet you can't get a fucking single dish in that restaurant without fucking the worst aioli ever mixed into it.
Those don't sound good. El Camino?
It's a car!
Yeah. I'm sure that translates to something.
Another name. The last name the last restaurant mentioned was Perfect Tender.
Is this is this like a attendees restaurant that has like the perfect chicken?
Well, it's it's it means the way it means the way that's not a good name for a
restaurant, it's the way the way you eat.
Yeah, it's like, oh, it should be called.
That should be the name of like a lifestyle brand or a dojo, like a self help
guy, a life coach, the way.
But no, yeah, those restaurants, he sounds like he runs the most annoying fucking type
of restaurant. I bet the perfect tender place is like, it's one of those shitty like new
barbecue places where you have to get like a, you have to get a lunch tray even though
you're an adult man.
Oh, it's a reference to the perfect tender rule. What the fuck is that? What's the perfect
tender rule? It refers to the legal right of a buyer of goods to insist upon perfect
tender by the seller. That has not been a thing since William Jennings Bryant was running
for president. That's like that's that's like yeah free silver politics. That doesn't apply anymore.
I will not be, we will not be crucified on a cross of asparagus.
Aeolian.
Yeah.
It says here, Ricky Ortiz, the owner of El Camino and several other dining establishments,
later said he was only joking about not allowing Edgars into his business.
Several young men with Edgar haircuts are suspects in a capital murder case in San Antonio,
Texas for a May 2022 murder.
But Ortiz, a first generation American of Mexican parents, defended his comments.
People are accusing me of racism or speaking from a place of ignorance, he told the publication.
They don't want to acknowledge or admit that the majority of the kids that are getting
these haircuts want to be in a culture influenced by gang affiliation and things like that. He is not
alone with the anti Edgar movement spreading to other
cities as well. In El Paso, students led an effort to get
the hairstyle banned from a Riverside High School in 2021.
Especially in El Paso, we've had a lot of crimes that were
committed by people who just happened to have the same
haircut, he said, the said the administrator of El Paso is most
popular Instagram account.
This is how a caveman like interprets events.
Oh, it must be the haircut.
Yeah, and also, if you say the suspects can be identified
by their haircut, they're going to shave their heads.
They probably don't even have it anymore,
because it's on the news.
It says that we're looking for four Edgars.
Also, I didn't realize you could do that at a high school.
You could just, you could like do a poll if people like a specific haircut and you could
just ban it.
Like why didn't people would have done that with emo kids or something if they had that
when we were growing up.
It would have said like that if it's in front of your face, we're banning it because it's
gay.
That's what middle school would have been like. I cannot stress though, there are a number of very high profile murder cases going on
in the country right now in which the accused are men who have hair.
So just be on the lookout for that.
Also if you get killed by a guy with a bowl cut.
Yeah.
If you couldn't, if you could not.
Do you even want to admit to that?
What are you, a wealthy dowager?
If a member of my family got killed with someone with a bowl cut, I would never tell anybody.
I would say they got cancer.
They fell into a manhole.
I would say don't even press charges.
Yeah, but my, my, yeah, a member of my family was outsmarted by Friar talk.
No thank you.
I got to say here, the, uh, the administrator of El Paso's most popular Instagram account is
an account called at the real fit fam El Paso.
He also asked to remain anonymous.
Where we are now, we just kind of correlate these guys to be bad dudes, even though there's
plenty of good dudes with the same cut.
Still others argue the look has Native American roots, specifically the Jumanot tribe that
lived in the Lone Star State between the 1500s and 1700s.
The haircut and aesthetic could be read as resisting Western notions of beauty or style.
Sonia M. Aleman, associate professor in race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality studies at
the University of Texas at San Antonio told the Dallas Morning News.
Regardless of its origin, it's unclear if the controversial
hairstyle is a dying trend or here to stare. One barber, Carlos Flores, 19 in Kyle, Texas,
said he averages about seven requests for Edgar haircuts a day from young Mexican-American
men in central Texas.
There's not a day that doesn't go by that I don't do an Edgar haircut, he told NBC News.
So they're trying to stamp out the Edgar, but it's not going to work.
I guess you could argue it's sort of an indigenous thing, like Evo Morales.
If he was a white guy, he couldn't get away with that haircut.
It's not quite this.
That's not Edgar.
No, no, Evo Morales is totally different.
It's within the bowl cut family.
I'm just saying he gets a passport.
But it's so different.
Like Eva Morales, there's like I'd say that like 70% of his hair cut is normal.
Up to 70% of it.
There is kind of parted in the middle.
Yeah, it's a little bit of like an 80s sitcom dad look.
Yeah, it's pretty.
Oh, yeah. I just think I think Joe Biden should.
Right. You would look younger.
You know, bangs bangs do make you look younger.
I just think it's funny that there are like controversial
haircuts that are like they're making the reemerging.
The idea of a dangerous and controversial haircut is very funny to me.
So to move on from the world of Edgars, let's talk about events in the Red Sea and prosperity guardian.
I wonder how many people in the US Navy have Edgar haircuts.
I mean, it's probably not up to code, but they should change that because otherwise
we're going to be guarding prosperity.
You could get it if you're a Navy seal, you know, if you're special forces, they
let you get whatever haircut you want because you have to blend in.
I'm sure there's at least like one Navy seal or one Delta force guy who has it.
You know, he's trying to, um, he's trying to infiltrate a tweet decking ring.
Perhaps you have to smuggle, like you have to smuggle the tweet decking ring, perhaps.
You have to smuggle the shadow barber onto the army base.
Because the regular barber isn't going to give you one of those.
But there's a barber who's in the shadows at night.
You have to visit him only at night and he will give you that haircut.
And you have to pay him in drugs that were smuggled in.
That's easy enough. It's easy enough at most major American military bases.
I just want to read this briefly from the Wall Street Journal.
It says the headline here is,
How an Iranian-backed militia ties down U.S. Naval forces in the Red Sea.
And just like the money paragraph here is here at the end,
where it states,
the Navy says it has spent about $1 billion on munitions used in defending the Red Sea,
conducting more than 450 strikes and intercepting more than 200 drones and missiles since November
when the attacks began.
U.S. officials worry that the conflict is simply not sustainable for the U.S. defense
industrial base, already strained by the demands for weaponry from Ukraine and Israel.
Their supply of weapons from Iran is cheap and highly sustainable, but ours is expensive.
Our supply chains are crunched and our logistics tails are long," said Emily Herding of the
Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
We're playing whack-a-mole and they are playing a long game. So I mean, it's interesting the contrast between like the defense industries in the United
States, which is just pure corporate welfare that like is designed to make everything as
expensive and complicated as possible.
And the people who are currently tying up commercial traffic in the Red Sea and causing
us to spend a billion dollars to shoot down
their drones, which are one millionth as expensive as a single missile fired from one of these
ships.
But I want to see how good that shit in the shipping containers is because of its stuff
from Tmoo.
That's not worth it.
It's got to be gold.
Like, even if they were all filled with gold, they might still be losing money.
I don't know.
I just saw like it's so fucking embarrassing to be America and like run out of missiles.
I know.
It's not like you knew this was going to happen. You knew that you were going to go to the Red
Sea and like fire a bunch of missiles. You weren't prepared. Like that's supposed to be our one
thing. Everything. That was what everyone said. You're going to find out why we're all dying of fentanyl overdoses.
Who is this?
You're going to find out why we all can't read.
No, we can't even make enough missiles.
I bet like the Navy and the Air Force are really proud of this new missile
they're making called the Mako.
That's like it's hypersonic.
It goes Mach 5, not with a ballistic trajectory, just straight off of bullshit.
I bet it doesn't even have a fucking warhead.
I bet they forgot to put a warhead.
I bet it just thuds into things.
Was the speed the issue?
No! I mean...
They weren't shooting fast enough until now?
I don't think that was the issue.
They go pretty fast. They weren't shooting fast enough until now. I don't think that was the issue.
They go pretty fast. I don't know why you need a Mach 5 air launch cruise missile.
Who are you fighting?
Sonic?
It impresses the boss.
It shows initiative.
You came up with a project.
I mean, I think it's like our fucking pharmaceutical industry.
We're like, they have a drug that works and then they like, uh, add some like,
you know, time release patent on it so that they can keep it out of the public domain for another 70
years.
But like, what I mean is this is the wages of our defense industry that like creates
weapons not so much to win or fight wars, but just to keep making money forever.
And now, you know, they're bringing up much, I guess, like cheaper cheaper weapons but like the you know the Houthis in Iran and their
militias like they they design and use weapons that suit the battle that they find themselves in
whereas we're just parking and all of this is just a preamble to say that I saw a news report
last week from News Nation where they embedded a
journalist on board the USS Eisenhower, which is the main aircraft carrier that's currently in the Red Sea and like, you know,
you know managing like all of these different attacks going on and
and in it and I have to I had to give a shout out to a Seamus
Melikov Selle as well who put me on to the Twitter account of the captain of the USS Eisenhower Who is a guy who goes by the name of Chris Chowder Hill?
He goes by Chowder Hill on Twitter because he's from Massachusetts and I swear to God this is this is the first time in my life
I've ever really like felt that we have like a DEI woke military
That's going to lose against China and Russia.
Because when I saw this shit, because like first of all, in the News Nation package,
the captain of the USS Eisenhower says plainly and without any irony, what's our mission here?
It's to save lives, to put it quite simply. And it's just like, and then Felix, you saw the other
guy who said like, he was asked by the journalist, the journalist, what keeps you up at night here in the Red Sea?
He's like, I don't know about what keeps me up at night.
I keep the Houthis up at night.
That's what I'm doing.
That was one of the most dishonest answers I've ever seen given to a news reporter.
He sounded like courage to the cowardly dog.
He does not believe that.
I don't worry about anything even though we're losing
Yeah, I'm I
Either way, I
These container ships, I don't think they're even coming for us. Like they would be going through the Pacific, right?
I think they're destined for Europe
Yeah, they do it Trump is right. Why doesn't why doesn't NATO pay for this shit? It should be Germany going down there.
I don't care what happens in that hemisphere.
That's not my problem.
We're, we're, we're spending a billion dollars making sure that a bunch of
Romanians could get access to the console that soldier boy sells.
Also, why can't Israel do it?
Yeah.
But they are out there.
They're supposed to be our only ally over there.
Why can't they do all this shit?
Why can't they defend the Red Sea?
It's right there.
They're literally on it.
They have coastline on it.
We don't even make them pay for their own armaments.
There's no way we would make them do this.
It's, yeah, no.
Clean up your own backyard.
It's such a waste.
It is such a fucking waste.
I hate Operation Amazon Prime. And like, I mean, like to Captain Chowder Hill's assessment that he's like,
oh, we're here to protect lives. We're saving lives by being here.
It's like the only reason that the fucking drones and missiles are getting fired at
these container ships is that our country won't stop killing people in Gaza.
We just won't fucking stop. We won't stop doing it.
Like, you know, we could get the soldier boy console could be that the people,
the people of Poland could have the soldier boy console tomorrow.
If we simply told Israel to stop doing this shit.
But it's just like on top of this, I started scrolling through Chowda Hill's Twitter account and he does this thing where he,
he keeps, he, he photographs, he photographs, as he calls
him, the warriors on his ship. And he photographs himself feeding them cookies. And there are
numerous like, he sort of, he wants to highlight the men and women in his service. Like he
says, this young warrior from Olive Branch, Mississippi recently turned 19. And his parents
and sisters wanted to have him, wanted him to have a cookie. Done. He says to them,
thank you. I love you and miss you guys. His advice to young folks thinking about joining
up, jump after it. He gobbled up his cookie and then went back to work on the MH-60S helicopters.
But like Felix, you scrolled through this guy's account. It's a lot of stuff like this.
It's like his dog and stuff and it's just like a lot of stuff like this. It's like, yes, it's like his dog and stuff. And it's just like just a lot of stuff with cookies.
Yeah, it's a very like it's a very like Johnny Son vibe.
Like if Johnny Son was the captain in the Navy and I just, you know,
this is like probably what Tony Soprano felt like when Meadow would come home
from Columbia and be like, oh, I we watched a movie today.
It costs $90,000 a semester.
That's how I feel reading Chowder Hills Twitter account.
If I like, if we're going to pay for this, for like nuclear powered
aircraft carriers to just, you know, fart around in the Red Sea and not
really accomplish anything, I at least want the old style of naval commander. I want the guys who won World
War II. I want a guy whose mom made him wear a dress to high school every day. We still have those
guys. They were dicking around in Normandy the other week. Why don't we just send them down there?
They know how to fight. They were trained when men were men, when we had a real
military in this country. It's like the end of a Peterburg's battleship.
We had a real military guys who would cry and vomit in every argument they were ever
in.
They won.
Not this new crap.
It really depressed me.
I really did not like seeing Chowder Hill's entire affect.
Okay, so there's one where he's retweeting the Twitter account of the USS Eisenhower
and the post he's retweeting is POV, you're a CIWS on the hashtag best damn ship in the
Navy.
Sillers operate the close in weapons system, CIWS, primarily used for self-defending the
ship during pre-...
SeaWiz?
You call it a SeaWiz, even though that is the acronym.
Okay, well it's basically a huge Gatling gun that they use to take out incoming missiles or drones that are coming on the ship.
Yeah.
And it goes, during a pre-action calibration firing to maintain proficiency.
And then he retweets this, it's a video of a Gatling gun being fired, and then he retweets this to video of a Gatling gun being fired and then he goes, rap, hashtag best damn ship in the Navy.
And seriously like this makes me know it's not that the Navy the Navy is if anything,
it's not woke enough because we like you said we need to bring back men like like Douglas
MacArthur real Queenie assholes who is basically, you know, like you said,
like, whose mother dressed them in a skirt. And then here's a funny fact about Dwight.
Yeah, they used to get all the gay shit out of their system. And then they would act manly.
They would wear a dress, they would have sex with each other's assholes, and then they
would get down to business.
Yeah, they weren't like going around the ship being like, here's a cookie, dilly dilly,
remember commercial, they weren't, they weren't like it wasn the ship being like, here's a cookie, dilly dilly, remembering
the commercial.
They weren't like, it wasn't like positive vibes.
They were all like, I'm going to quit the war to go marry my niece.
I hate you.
I hope you die.
And they would throw up and they would cry and then they would win the war.
That's how it used to be.
It's also 122 degrees in Mecca right now.
So it's probably really fun to be on that ship.
Nothing I like more when it's hot out than a cookie while sitting on the deck of an aircraft
carrier.
Nice hard cookie.
Yeah.
And then he has like, he posts like positive aphorisms called the power of now, which he
says are great advice for humans.
And it's just, you're right.
It's just like, it's not really like the woke
military. You're exactly right. It's like the John
Nissan military. It's just this kind of like
soy Star Wars vacation of everything where it's just
like, it's not even a woke. It's like, yeah, like Ryan
Reynolds. Yeah, yeah. It's yeah, it's like, it's just this
like, this very like force, you know, today can be the best day ever.
If you just put one foot in front of your leg, like that whole like bullshit affect
is, yeah, it's just, yeah, I would take anything over that.
Give me, give me, give me the Gilbert and Sullivan Navy.
Give me Douglas MacArthur.
Give me Captain Queeg, give me anything.
Just have this.
Captain Bligh.
Yeah.
Anybody.
We don't have any cool captains anymore.
Yeah.
No, but compare the Twitter account of Chowder Hill.
I mean, I feel that this does against all better judgment make me like an angry American
nationalist.
Compare the Twitter account of the USS Eisenhower to those videos that Huthies were doing when they landed that helicopter
on that ship and took it over.
Yeah.
Like, their propaganda is so on point. It's so cool. And I'm like, yes, I want to join
that army. Let's fucking go. And then like this cornball is giving cookies to fucking
the sailors.
They sailors should get they should get a they should get a ration of rum if they haven't been flogged that day. That's it.
The Houthis are doing the coolest videos ever, like drone shots of them boarding
a ship. And then but then there are also like funny moments.
They're not doing this like you get a cookie because it's Wedge and Tilley's day.
No, they're like
We did uh We gave cop to the entire crew and we're all high off this plant. It's actually heartwarming
That's a real post credit scene. That's the real shit from avatar. Yeah, why don't those people do cot?
Why don't they do?
We don't have guys
We don't have masculine manly guys like laurence of arabia who would go down there and live like them and see what it's like and the cot Douglas MacArthur would have gotten addicted to cot.
He would have like he would have done cot until he has like a manic break and he like gets naked on the poop deck.
the I know they have a different cause, but you know, it's just they're really motivational. Nothing like that coming out of the American Navy.
And it's just like, and it's so like all of this positive, like, soy, like, you know,
power of positive thinking, here's a cookie.
The fact that it's all in an effort to just let Israel continue to do a fucking genocide
and like, do a genocide in a way that doesn't disrupt the delivery of the soldier boy console
to Eastern Europe, you know, like it's just, it's so gross.
And actually, as long as we're talking about it, here's a fun fact about General Douglas
MacArthur.
When he was accepted into West Point, his mother moved to West Point
to a house right outside the campus.
And rather than spending his formative years with his comrades and the soon-to-be officers,
he had dinner with his mother every single night he was in West Point.
He said he would return and he did.
That was the difference between like him and Eisenhower. Like Eisenhower had some funny aspects. He fell in love with
the girl who drove his Jeep and he was like, I'm quitting the
war. And Marshall had to be like, what the fuck are you
doing? You're in the day is actually the fuck. Get it
together.
He was kind of a Chad at West Point.
He played cards and gambled.
It was really cool to play bridge back.
He used to have the broccoli haircut.
He had the broccoli haircut.
When he was 21?
But MacArthur had a very Seymour Skinner lifestyle.
But yeah, no. had a very Seymour Skinner lifestyle.
But yeah, no, I, I, I, that really is the thing.
If they were just like, if this was just like they were doing a training exercise or it was on their own time and they were like, we're going to make a
skit where we pretend we're on the Death Star, but it's really about mental
health week, I'd be like, okay, fine.
That's your business, but it's in service to an active genocide.
It's like, it's just like, you know, like if, if, if you
dick around somewhere else, can't you go to the Pacific and like, look for
drowning people or something?
Yeah.
Doing it.
They're not doing anything.
They're not accomplishing anything. The shipping
is still blocked. The Houthis are still there. What if the SS was sending people telegrams
that were like, one, you read this wrong, two, you're smiling now, three, send this
to someone you like. Everyone would hate it. This is a good segue. I mean, to compare the SS of the past to the current movement that aspires to follow in
their footsteps.
The America First Convention was sort of held in Detroit this week or over the weekend.
Like they, it was scheduled, but they had to move venues. This is, this is Nick Fuentes' America First PAC.
And it was held in Detroit as counter-programming to the Turning Points USA PAC convention.
And I just thought it was like, over the weekend, I thought it was just like an interesting contrast
between sort of like the two kind of like online political movements that are vying
to sort of like get behind the wheel of MAGA.
And the sort of like interesting dichotomy is in sort of contrast between the two of
them.
And says here, Nick Fuentes' first attendee is to do his custom Pledge of Allegiance.
Quote, I solemnly swear that I will put America first and will put Israel last every single time because Christ is our King. So there's
sort of like there's the anti-Zionist Christ is King Nicholas Fuentes
contingent and then there is the the pro-Zionist Christ is awesome sort of
Benny Johnson, Charlie Kirk, Jack Psobiak. At their convention they were
that Trump spoke at they, they were handing out baseball
hats and towels that said, White Boy Summer.
And I was reading breathless media accounts, they were like, White Boy Summer is a well-known
phrase used by white nationalists.
And I'm like, well, if that's the case, they've fallen a long way from Arbok to Mount Frey.
Yeah, yeah, no, it just, I saw a video of Benny Johnson performing, I guess you could
say and he said-
Vogueing.
Yeah, vogueing, you see.
Benny Johnson was serving cunt this weekend and he said-
He was. My best advice to young men is to fall in love.
And it's like, yeah, that's what you did all right.
You are in love in your legitimate marriage.
You are 100% in love, L-O-V-E, with your wife.
It is kind of funny that they're fighting over
whether you should be anti-Semitic in love Jesus or pro-Semitic in love Jesus.
There's kind of the third option there, like Varg or Nietzsche or someone who would point
out that that's all Jewish shit.
You're worshiping a Jewish guy from Israel and you're just importing Jewish morality
and writing over the worship of heroes and strength and warfare
and the spilling of Gallic blood and all the things that used to animate Europeans.
No one's saying that shit.
They're just saying, yeah, we hate Jews, except this one, except the most famous one.
I like the most famous Jew.
That's why Varg is great. He's like, no, don't join a church.
Live in your car next to your neighbor who's a farmer and bother him all day.
Learn runes on your phone.
Yeah, learn runes.
Try to live like you're in the Assassin's Creed Viking game, but more racist, and play
My Frog.
That's at least, I find it a little
more endearing even though it's also incoherent because you can't that horse
is out of the barn you're not making Europe pagan again that is not happening
like just historically with materialism the material conditions for that are
just not here anymore. I do appreciate like the moxie and trying. Yeah, trying to trying to do that after the invention of like books.
I really love his attitude.
But yeah, it is. It's more endearing.
It's more coherent, even though it isn't very coherent in and of itself.
But yeah, no, the the thing I noticed from this weekend,
the AFPAC conference, like, OK, who's really fighting for the white race? significantly more diverse
than a Chapo live show audience. That's all.
Yeah, it's significantly more diverse than one of our live
shows, and also significantly more diverse than the turning
point USA conference, which was like, yeah, Charlie Kirk, Benny
Johnson, Jack Psoviak. And I have this, there's a comment
from an attendee here of the AFPAC conference who says, there
were plenty of non-white men there too, and I sense zero racial animosity in the air other
than from the Godfrey Hotel security who wouldn't specifically, who wouldn't let specifically
us use the bathroom while other bar guests could do.
Overall an impromptu but really memorable high-energy time. And you know, like one of the big attendees of the AFPAC conference was the streamer Sneeko,
who got his teeth knocked out by a security guard.
We got Sneeko here.
He's got this busted up tooth.
Smile for me, man.
This was the security guard at AFPAC, at this thing, at this event right up here.
Right up here.
We got this guy jumped off the stage.
No one attacked this guy. Punched Sne nobody in the face. No one touched him. He jumped off
the stage, hits Nico in the face. I watched the whole thing happen.
But like, I think he's a he's half Filipino half Haitian and has converted to Islam last
year. But like, there's a lot of I don't know, there's like sort of like an irresolvable
tension here specifically about like,, what is the face of the
new right in America and who's going to
be getting the clicks, views, and
subscriptions off of that? And the answer
is like, if you're a woman or non-white
person, then like, it's sort of like
the sky's the limit, but there's also a
hard cap on it because like, there's
always going to be this tension between
like, I am as a woman or non-white person, I'm going to
appoint myself as the kind of like, youthful voice of this movement that
regards me as something less than human. Like, did you see the thing about
that? Like, it's another one of these like, conservative women who become
influencers in what seems to be like 48 hours. Like out
of that, that woman, this woman, Lily Gaddis, who's this like, she's a person who was everywhere
this week. And basically she just got famous for saying the N word. And now she's like,
oh, she's based, we love her. But then it turns out she's a single mom. And people are
already already accusing her of being a race trader. a, uh, I don't know, Jewish or
something like it. It's just like, I mean, single moms have mixed race kids, some white
moms, sometimes they say that. Yeah. I am known to happen. I have noticed that's a huge
contingent of the new right. Like a single mothers of mixed race kids who say the N word
that used to be an apolitical group. Yeah, that used to be that used to be just like,
you know, Obama probably won that. Yeah, no. Yeah. That used to be like your friend's older
brother's friend that he didn't really like. There are people who are on OnlyFans two months ago.
Yeah. And the numbers went down. So they had to put on the sundress and say, don't you want to marry me? Yeah. Yeah. I just have to say to,
like, maybe I'll get my words here, but I just like, I don't think any like political movement
where like, okay, you just had your big conference. What is your statement about the future of America?
They didn't let us use the bathroom. I don't think they're gonna like take anything over. I'm sorry.
Maybe I'm wrong. But like, would that that's your headline? They didn't let us use the
bathroom at the bar. You don't have anything else to say.
It's interesting that they let you be trans racial on the far right. Like you can just
be like a Somalian white supremacist and no one says it. It's like it's like the mirror
image of what they say
about the left. You've got men pretending to be women and women pretending to be men
and you all just are cowed into not saying anything because it would be awkward and you
just deny reality and then over there they've got Filipino Haitians who are white supremacists
doing the SIG heil. It like, what the fuck is going on? They've
got 10 million Indian guys all pretending to be Hitler. Yeah, they have like a Somalian
pedophile who's like, I'm gonna bring back white people. Okay, who's delusional here?
But no, like I saw I saw a pretty funny argument. It was just like two guys arguing with each other over the AFPAC
conference's inclusion of SNECO, the Filipino-Haitian Muslim streamer
who is a darling of the far right now.
But they were like, one guy was arguing, SNECO is a
Trojan heurist to Islamism, which is the biggest threat to Christendom
and the white race in the West.
And then the person arguing against him was saying, yeah, he is, but he hates Jews, too.
And he's willing to fight our real enemy, the Jews.
And it was just a question of who is the more present enemy to be confronted right now?
Is it Jews or Muslims?
Because if it's Jews, then we'll let the guy who converted to Islam
last year be a spokesperson for our movement before getting his teeth knocked out by a
security guard.
But like Islam is the same problem, the Varg problem.
Muhammad was basing that on Jewish stuff. He heard all the Jewish stuff that came down
the trade routes and you're just you're adopting Jewish morality again. You got to go pagan. You
got to go Arab pagan. Yeah. Can I just say too that this this really reeks of a conversation I
remember seeing in February of 2020. It was two guys arguing and they were like,
I'm voting for Bernie, but I plan on overthrowing him afterwards.
plan on overthrowing him afterwards.
That wouldn't be that hard.
That's like, like after he's president, we're going to overthrow him and kill him in a revolution and, uh, it's every day on the right, there's a new, like,
what would your job be after the revolution type thing?
That's really all there is.
It's what, what are you going to do after we bring back white people?
I'm going to be a token black guy, token Filipino, token Indian. That's my job.
I'm going to be a therapist who gives white men therapy to repair their trauma of living under
trauma of living under Jewishness.
Well, I was like another another sort of thread to be pulled out here is that the Lily Gaddis, the the trad wife influencer who
got famous a week ago for using the n word went viral for a
video where she said, quote, if you're not getting knocked up,
you're a loser. And I guess like she is trading on her own status as a single mother. But she's just saying like, yeah, like, if you're not getting knocked up, you're a loser. And I guess like she is trading on her own status as a single mother.
But she's just saying like, yeah, like, if you're not having
kids, like, fuck you, like, you know, what are you doing for
America? But like, this is this is this dovetails with a spew
like something you brought up with Benny Johnson was doing at
the turning points USA thing. It's like, there's a new thing
where they say that they're trying they're trying to get to
sort of stoke young people into a campaign to quote outbreed the left.
And they're like, oh, like, yeah, there is a place for young women in our movement.
It says wives and mothers and just start having those kids as early as possible.
We got to outbreed them. The future belongs to us.
And this is this one daily.
Here it says far right figures Chaya Reichach and Charlie Kirk both said they have.
By the way, she posted fucking she posted, I want to have a lot of kids someday.
And I'm sorry, you are 37.
Yeah, like, what are you insane?
Are you out of your fucking mind?
You're five hundred and eighty years old in Hubbard years.
You are done like what?
Well, who is going to marry you? Who is going to marry you in the Habbad movement? They haven't found a hunchback who's desperate
enough.
Well, yeah, no, like, so you just said here, they both said they had a plan to quote outbread
the left this week by having more children than liberals and raising them to have right-wing
views.
Both of their statements are being memed online and it says here, last weekend, Kirk hosted his organization's
Young Women's Leadership Summit. On Sunday, he tweeted a video of mothers who attended the event.
We're going to win either now or later, Kirk tweeted, when we outbred the left.
And then it says, and on Monday in response to the tweet from X and Tesla CEO
Elon Musk about having children
Right chick tweeted that she plans on having a lot of them. We're going to read the left
She tweeted then we're gonna start our kids to private school
So they could so they can't be groomed into becoming activists for leftist causes and then the tweet says, I come from a family of eight. I plan to have
a lot of kids. We're going to outbreed the left. Then we're going to homeschool. Okay,
yes. You say you come from a family of eight. But like what are your brothers and sisters
make of all this? It's like I guarantee you got plenty of nieces and nephews.
I'm not sure what's what that's supposed to accomplish other than engagement bait,
telling people to have kids or telling people not to have kids. Like there was someone, there was someone who was screaming at
Tom the other day because he made fun of someone who was like, how could anyone have kids when
there's a pandemic and there's a, there's an economic problems and just saying like, well,
shut up, stop whining. Like no one's making you do it. And like, I don't think anyone's not going
to have kids because they see a tweet like that. And I don't think anyone's going to have kids because they see Charlie
Kirk say you should have kids. Like people who can afford to have kids and they have
a house and they just, they see something on YouTube and are like, yeah, let's do it.
I don't think that's the difference ever. I think it's just the economics of it and
just where you are in life and stuff. No one is thinking like you're you're you're busting raw in
your wife because you thought of what Charlie Kirk said.
Yeah, I'm thinking of what Charlie Kirk is saying.
You last longer.
If you want to last longer. Yeah, just think of Charlie Kirk
the whole time.
And it's just I don't know, like the language too is so telling
because like, even in like because even in their exhortations
to return to traditional values of big families and sex within the context of marriage, they
can't help but betray how absolutely porn-fried their brains are.
They need to talk about this as breeding.
They keep talking about breeding and it's just like it's too much of a tell. You know, like it's just even like like I said, they can't escape Internet porn conventions.
Yeah, that's the audience for this shit.
It's guys who are addicted to porn and they jack off 500 times a day until the whole foreskin
just comes off and it's all red and raw.
And then they're like, they're the guys who get on the Internet and say like, no one should
ever jack off or look at porn.
I think every man should be married and we should only have sex with procreation.
And they just still have cum dripping down their leg.
That's the audience for that shit.
Because the people who are going to have kids, they're already doing it.
The people that are going to have a trad wife, they're already doing it.
And crucially, they don't view having children or forming a family in terms of
breeding
Breeding yeah, like they're a fucking golden like they're a bully XL or something
Once again, it's like
If the right had like any ability to get inside the minds of or communicate with someone who has not been
driven insane by the computer.
Like maybe this would be a real mass movement, but that is not the reality.
They would have to pay people to do it.
Right.
That would be what you do.
Yeah.
There's just like no normal way to approach this.
And also, I mean, like even if you have eight kids and homeschool all of them, I mean, like,
there is a big problem for traditional religious communities of retention.
And even the most successful ones of them, like, you know, Church of Latter-day Saints,
can only really muster about 50%.
And that's the most successful.
So like this idea that just having kids is like some sort
of future demographic weapon is also rather foolhardy. But Alex, you're right. None of these
people are going to have kids. I mean, if they were going to have kids, they already did.
And Benny Johnson telling young men that they need to fall in love to meet their,
to find their divine purpose. These guys are, yeah, these guys are well into pornography addiction.
Yeah, it is. It is so funny that so many people are on the left because they had conservative
parents. That didn't apply to me, but so many, like so probably thousands of people listening
to this, they come from a conservative religious family and they got out. It's not a genetic thing.
And sometimes it does the opposite. Sometimes it goes the opposite way too.
So there's people with atheist parents, they become Catholic and they start going to mass. not a genetic thing. And sometimes it does the opposite. Sometimes it goes the opposite
way too.
So those people with atheist parents, they become Catholic and they start going to mass.
That would be a more surefire way would be to become a lit, to be like Ned Flanders'
parents.
Yeah.
That's a more surefire way of creating a conservative.
But yeah, try to force them to be gay. And then just leave a Bible out. Would you please tell your son
to stop? We can't do it, man. That's discipline. That's like
telling Jean Krupa not to go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
So like, the the thePAC and the TP PAC.
These are glimpses into what the right is trying to do to court the next generation
of the most socially maladroid among us.
But the Democrats are usually like, take for granted that the youth are on their side,
but they're having a little bit of difficulty with that recently.
So I have an article here from the Wall Street Journal.
The headline is Biden campaign needs younger voters and younger celebrity backers.
And basically the article is about how the Democrats are.
They're lousy with fucking like Robert De Niro and like Meryl Streep
and like celebrities who are well into their.
Jane Fonda. Yeah. Bring her back. Bring her back. Feels like they're throwing shade at her.
Yeah. This article. We need some younger people. Oh, okay.
It says here Biden is getting high profile celebrity support as he seeks a second term
against Republican rival former President Donald Trump. But so far, the star power has come from the over 50 set, including the 81 year old president's
close peers.
De Niro, who has also led a combative New York press conference for the Biden campaign,
is 80.
Singer Carole King, who signed a Biden fundraising email this week, is 82.
Director Steven Spielberg, 77, is working with organizers of the Democratic National
Convention in Chicago.
The president's campaign says it expects more younger stars to engage as election day draws
closer, which might be critical as polls show Biden needs to shore up support among young
voters.
Actors Jason Bateman, Catherine Hahn, Jack Black, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Barbara Streisand,
82, also played a role in Saturday night's events, which the campaign said raised $30 million, the president of the United States has been named president of the United States.
And he's been named president of the United States.
And he's been named president of the United States.
And he's been named president of the United States.
And he's been named president of the United States.
And he's been named president of the United States.
And he's been named president of the United States.
And he's been named president of the United States.
And he's been named president of the United States.
And he's been named president of the United States.
And he's been named president of the United States. And he's been named president of the celebrities that are working for them. You're like, wait, they didn't die. Yeah, respect the Carole King. But yeah, I wasn't I wasn't totally sure.
If you had asked me, I would have been like, 75% sure she's still alive.
And like, and I gotta say, did Nero did Nero like doing the press conference outside of
the Trump trial? That was come on, man, like, you don't need to be doing that. Like, go to the
fundraiser. But he was like yelling at people in the street being like,
Donald Trump's a mutt and a punk and he's a bitch.
And, you know, we're going to put him in jail.
And it's just sort of like, come on, man.
He's been doing that since, like, before Trump.
I mean, like, yeah, credit credit to him.
He's been doing this for years.
I remember like he's been doing videos about Donald Trump for a while.
Before Trump even like stitched up the nomination in 2016, he was doing like weird videos where his face was too close to the camera and he was like he's a fucking asshole
I don't know what he's accomplishing, but he's very authentically boomer. Yeah
Well to be fair that the Maga terrorist did send a fake pike bomb to his office in Tribeca
Remember that guy Cesar Sayoc? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so you know, he's been targeted by some of the MAGA mobs. I guess he's taken it very
personally.
But people treated him like he tried to leave the mafia or something. Like that guy who
smashed the picture of him.
Yeah, yeah.
People just worshiped him.
Yeah.
The same thing probably happens when people find out Bruce Springsteen is a Democrat.
They're like, well, fuck that.
Every guy I like.
So many guys in New Jersey went through that process.
Can you imagine what would happen if James Gandolfini was still alive?
They would have made him do an ad where he's talking to a young voter and he's like, you
can have America's dignity back or you can vote for a convicted
felon. He would have been he would have been unfortunately all over the Biden net.
Oh man, I would have heard you would have heard that journey song a lot a lot more time.
But going on here it says a player in the efforts is campaign co chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, the 73 year old Hollywood
local former studio executive, who has become part of Biden's
inner circle. It says Katzenberg has previously urged Biden to
embrace his age as fellow octogenarians Harrison Ford and
Mick Jagger, which like, to be fair, if I was Harrison Ford or
Mick Jagger, it'd be easy for me to tell
other people like, yeah, being 80 is awesome.
You don't slow down at all.
This is great.
Embrace it.
Everyone loves it.
You know, it's like, well, yeah, you're Harrison Ford and Mick Jagger.
They don't really have to do anything.
Harrison Ford's in a movie.
They give him his lines and they cut out if he messes up.
And Mick Jagger, he's singing his song from Muscle Memory from 1965.
And it's probably on a teleprompter too.
They're not asking him to debate someone off the cuff.
That's a little bit different.
I love Harrison Ford, but when I saw him in Blade Runner, it was like, does he even know
he's in a movie?
His scene was just like him wearing the world's, like probably one of the first t-shirts ever made and
like sort of like day drunk talking talking to ryan gosselin and it's like does he think he's
actually his son that's good acting yeah no i feel like i feel like i had the exact same
impression when i finally saw blade runner 2049 which is just like harrison ford was like
you have me for one day on set and i'm going to wear the clothes that I came in.
Like there's no wardrobe, no makeup.
I'm just like me and I want to talk to and it's also for like Jeffrey Katzenberg, who's
like now in the inner circle who's encouraging Biden to embrace his age like a 73 year old
like you know Hollywood mogul and executive type like sort of sort of master the universe type. It's like, obviously, they take it personally, when everyone is making
Biden's age, an issue about like, can you be a competent executive figure? And then
they're, of course, these guys are all like, Yes, of course, of course, you can still be
President lead singer of the Rolling Stones in Indiana Jones at 80 years old. Why would
anyone say otherwise? In fact, he should be arguing that you that this is a strength of
his campaign is how old he
is.
Saying to embrace his age is such a weird piece of advice because it's like, I don't
really think he has a choice.
Was anyone looking at Biden recently and like, huh, he just looks so young.
It's way too late to embrace his age.
You could have done that like 20 years ago,
like when he was running in 2008 maybe,
but what is he, 82?
He's an 82 year old who has like a weekly facelift.
He looks insane.
Like you can maybe do it if you're 70,
if you're 70 running against like John F. Kennedy
and he's 40, like you can say,
well, I have the experience, but if you're over 80, there's, there's just no upside to it. Yeah. It's like you're dead on that it is like
a bunch of power 70 year olds who like just intend on doing the Sumner Redstone thing
and running their companies like the emperor from Warhammer until one of their grandkids kills them. But it's just like, yeah, it's just,
it's not the same type of old person.
Jeffrey Katzenberg isn't going around,
like walking around, you know,
whatever fucking company he works for now,
like challenging a 23 year old to a fist fight.
But you know, because like obviously they're aware
of the sort of the youth gap here.
And it says here, some younger stars have made clear they aren't happy with the incumbent.
Rapper Cardi B, 31, who backed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic
primary before supporting Biden, told Rolling Stone that she won't be voting for either
candidate. Up and coming singer, Chapel Roan, 26, said in a recent performance that she
was invited to the White House to perform for Pride Month and declined.
Some younger celebrities who haven't weighed in yet got involved much closer to Election Day last time. That includes pop star Taylor Swift, 34, who endorsed Biden in an October 2020 magazine interview,
and actress Singers and Daya, 27, who tweeted her opposition to Trump on November 2, 2020.
Vote this MF out.
It says, one new recruit to Biden's younger celebrity ranks is Damian Tariques, a non-binary
actor who recently appeared in the Netflix show Glamorous.
Tariques, 26, said the Biden campaign reached out to their manager.
I was like, what campaign?
What administration?
They joked.
And then took part in a call during which the campaign advisors talked about how new
surrogates could be helpful. They said it could be as little as posting on Instagram
or going on the trail or going out to events, Tarika said, adding they were excited to offer
a younger, diverse voice. Really, uh, but who would be at the events who would know who that is?
Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yeah. So, uh, they're really, really,, really hitting the star power hard with Damian Tariqa, a
guy who's a guy I learned about thanks to this article. But I just want to compare it
to like, there's one other article here from the New York Times that says, the headline
is Joe Biden wants to go viral. It's not easy. Nor did he kill him at this age.
Yeah, exactly. I was like, nor did it be easy for him to catch a virus at this point,
let alone go viral. But it says here, on a Friday afternoon in late April, President
Biden brought celebrities and elite social media influencers together for a White House
reception. Fran Drescher and David Cross mingled with Alona Mar, a rugby star, and V from At
Under the Desk News at a mixer
meant to generate warm feelings and badly needed pro-Biden content.
Under the Desk News?
What is that?
I have no idea.
It sounds nasty.
They're sucking someone's dick?
Let's see.
It says, Jonathan M. Katz, an independent journalist and sharp critic of the administration,
was shocked to get an invitation.
When he met Mr. Biden, he pointedly asked about military aid to Israel and suggested
he was supporting a genocide.
Mr. Biden answered politely, but then appeared to grow impatient.
I know you're a typical press guy, he said.
I trust you as far as I can throw your phone.
Aides then ushered Mr. Katz away.
He also said he has a good arm so he could trust him a lot. Like his old guy threats aren't even coherent anymore. Like when he said, look fat, that at least kind of made sense. He was challenging
fat to a pushup contest that presumably Joe Biden would win. But this time he's saying,
I could trust you as far as I could throw your phone, which
is very far.
What?
If Joe Biden challenged me to a push-up contest, I would accept.
How many could he do?
Maybe 10?
I think he could do a lot.
I think he might do more.
The fact that he's saying it means he probably still does push-ups sometimes.
I don't want to say like he would, he would try to do one and die.
Like, I think he could do a few, but I think the guy he was talking
to probably could beat him.
I think you're underestimating, uh, Biden and you, you, you failed to understand
a key feature of like that generation of men.
It was the only, the only exercise when they were growing up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My, my dad was like, he, he was a few years younger than body, but he was roughly that
generation of person. All of those guys, to maintain the weirdest body ever, like a really
flat stomach, but sort of a wide, bricky back, they would just eat three almonds and right
before going to sleep, they would do a bunch of push-ups.
That is, if you were born around the Korean War or World War II, that's how you stayed in shape.
That was the only exercise. They did not invent deadlifts and stuff until like after Vietnam.
I think it's a lot.
Yeah. Everything else was under the category of aerobics, which was for women.
Yeah. Push-ups were the most accessible one because all the other exercises
were like you put on a big turtleneck sweater and throw a medicine ball at your friend.
Going on here in the article says, Mr. Biden and his allies are working furiously to build
a comparable online army, trying to persuade or in some cases pay people to sing Mr. Biden's praises
to their large followings.
They are finding that social media feeds are difficult territory for an 81 year old president
whose policies on Gaza and immigration are unpopular on the left.
It's clear we have to use influencers or creators as a way to reach the future of the progressive movement,
said Brian Rowling, co-founder of Murr Murr Impact, a group that has worked with liberal causes
on mobilizing Gen Z voters.
But we talk to a lot of young people and they're just not on board with Biden.
The president's campaign is working to change that.
While often issuing interviews at legacy media outlets, he has granted FaceTime to friendly
social media eminences, such as Daniel Mack, who has won more than 20 million online followers
by asking people,
what do you do for a living? The video with Mr. Biden filmed at the Detroit auto show
went viral, notching 40 million views on TikTok, but it fell far short of the 60 million views
Mr. Mack got for an interaction with the founder of an Italian supercar manufacturer who doesn't
speak English. It's like, they're like, oh, like we need we need all these
influencers on TikTok.
Didn't you just did you just outlaw TikTok?
Are you getting rid of TikTok?
Yeah, that was the signature.
That was the signature policy victory of the Biden administration in this last
year, besides like signing Trump's immigration policy of the law.
Those were the two things banning kick-talk and doing the
Trump immigration plan.
I don't know what you can do.
He should just, he should be going after legacy media.
Cause this is just not going to result in anything.
Like it was sort of a natural thing that happened with Obama.
People were dumber back then, but every celebrity was willing
to endorse him because he seemed cool and he was young and he
could speak, but now I don't know what you do. You can reach out to some people
and put a thing on their TikTok for 500 bucks, but who is that going to convince to vote?
Well, I mean, like, I mean, all of this is such a waste. I mean, all of this, when you
read these articles, like it's just like they paint lip service about like, oh, like, you
know, an 81 year old whose policies on Gaza and immigration are not so hot on the like, all of this is just bargaining to try
to deal with the fact that they're just not going to stop doing what they're doing.
They're not going to stop killing people in Palestine.
They've adopted Trump's own border policy to end asylum for refugees trying to enter
this country.
And then they're like, oh, well, we got to do something about this on TikTok.
Young people don't like us anymore.
It says here, since February when the Biden campaign officially joined TikTok, it's like,
how about that for hypocrisy?
How do you join TikTok when you're trying to outlaw it?
You ban the ability.
Isn't it supposed to be a Chinese spying operation?
Yeah.
You said it was a Chinese spying operation.
Oh, let me just join up. What?
Yeah, that was a really dumb thing for young people to try to ban TikTok.
That was a completely unforced error.
And I don't know.
Did that shore him up with boomers?
I don't think so.
Well, I mean, like, once again, it's like, why do they ban TikTok?
Not because it's a Chinese spying platform,
but because young people get their news from TikTok and the news that they get on there is look is look at this fucking genocide happening
with the full support of the US government and Joe Biden, the president of the United
States of America.
And that that's what they can't deal with.
So this says here, since the Biden campaign officially joined TikTok, it has posted more
than 200 times and garnered just over 375,000 followers. Mr. Trump joined TikTok less than two weeks ago. But yeah,
that is really bad. That is really shit.
That sucks dick, dude. Like there are TikTok accounts where it's just like, I don't know.
It's like the typical like Philadelphia shit. I'm going to eat a fucking rotisserie chicken every day or it's like you know a mob with seven disgusting children and they all have
30 million followers. This is, this sucks. Even if you have the followers it
doesn't really translate like this stuff doesn't come off TikTok like sometimes
people screenshot and put it on Twitter but a lot of the time people you look at someone who has like 10 million followers on TikTok and then you look at their Twitch stream or something and it's got two views.
There are many cases of that.
Hey, I'm a petty officer on the USS Eisenhower. Of course I like eating triple-choked chocolate chip cookies.
I think you should get court-martialed for using TikTok if you're in the military.
I agree with that.
Because it is banned.
Yeah.
You're disobeying orders that came from the commander in chief.
There used to be a lot of talk about the click-through rates on various social media sites.
At least the older calculus, like 10 years ago, was that Facebook had a higher click-through
rate than anything else
There was a more like client and suggestible audience
With tick-tock because it's so short short format yet. You can get a shitload of views and
Have a lot of people follow you but it's probably has like one of the lowest click through rates out of any of those things. Yeah, they're not
They're just going to the next video
especially if you're not like especially if you're not even like selling a product that people want if you're like a
Trying to make people vote for someone and be the person you're trying to make them vote for the underlying message is hey
I know you like kind of don't want to do this
is, hey, I know you like kind of don't want to do this.
I know this kind of sucks. I know you kind of fucking hate this guy.
But just come on.
Come on. Come on.
Just what are you going to do? Stop bitching.
You know, Felix, it's funny you bring up the click through rate,
the click, the click through rate for Facebook.
And I remember like Facebook really used to be like the gold standard for like,
you know, how people got their news or like effective online, you know, I don't know, penetration or sort of capture. I really
wonder if that's the case now, because it really does seem like most of Facebook or
just posts like, why don't photos like this trend, and it's some unholy AI generated image
of like, six Korean stewardesses pulling Jesus Christ out of a jello bath or something
like that. Yeah. Yeah. Like eight legs crying being like, why am I poor? No one likes me.
They automated like Thomas Kinkade in that was it Thomas McNaughton or John McNaughton?
John McNaughton. Yeah. The guy who would draw like the, uh, the president's, uh,
crying because Obama was stopped, uh, stepping on the constitution. Yeah.
The shit like that.
AI has just completely automated that.
So you have a picture of a truck carrying 10 trillion flags to the Washington Memorial.
It is really funny how all these conservative guys were like, oh, when AI takes over, all
these woke writers are going to be out of a job.
And the only thing it's displaced is like that. Yeah, like guys who draw like the most baffling paintings.
They're like, they're like, oh, these blue hairs with the goddamn nose rings are on TikTok,
just believing anything they hear on the internet. Meanwhile, they're proposing marriage to an
AI generated image of a woman with like a bird's body. It was like, I need a husband in the USA.
And they're like, ma'am, I would love to take you
on a Valentine's day date.
I'm so confused by that stuff.
There'll be like an AI generated picture of a woman
where it's like, it's literally her head
on a pair of legs, no torso.
And the guys are applying to it are still horny.
And it's like, are they like making an actual calculation where they're like, well, I'm like 62 and like immobile and she's
pretty hot, but doesn't have over 60.
Breasts or an abdomen. She has the wrong number of fingers. So maybe, maybe she'll lower her
standards for me. It's like how the Melanie Mack repliers are more
bold to that conservative N-word woman from this weekend.
Yeah, Gadus.
Yeah, like when they reply, the guys who like kiss Melanie Mack's feet and are like, she
would never get with a guy like me. When they saw that Gadus woman, the sort of Sean Penn
looking one, they were like, all right, I could actually hit on her. get with a guy like me. When they saw that Gattis woman, the sort of Sean Penn looking
one, they were like, all right, I can actually hit on her.
Yeah, she's got a kid.
They kind of do that with Melanie Mack too, because she's 37 and lives with her parents
and stinks and doesn't remember to drink water. They're like, yeah, maybe. I don't
know.
Goes to the hospital for drinking Gatorade. She's awesome. I love her. She's like dumb enough that I could really get in there and fix her problems.
Even though I have all the same problems, but worse,
we could go and Gatorade dialysis together.
Yeah.
We could split it out to the hospital.
Just to finish up the, uh, the Biden viral article, it says here, uh, Julian,
uh, Sarah Fian, a lawyer who represents influencers
and posts about legal issues, was invited afterward after he created a video of himself
dancing to Kendrick Lamar song outside the White House while a list of Biden White House
wins pops up on the screen. They want people who are not going to rock the boat and be in
line with their messaging, said Mr. Sarrifian, who has 320,000 TikTok followers. Finding those people can be
tricky for Mr. Biden. Joshua Doss, a political pollster who lives in Chicago
and posts about politics, race, and basketball, was recently contacted by
Village Marketing, the firm hired by the Biden campaign, and offered a potential
interview with the president at the Democratic National Convention. But Mr. Doss was put off when the agency specifically asked him to avoid discussing the war in the
Mideast.
I couldn't imagine going to my audience given how upset they are about the handling of this
issue without talking to him about Gaza, Mr. Doss said.
He initially declined but later said he would agree on the condition that he be permitted
to ask a tough question about the way the economy is affecting black people. Village marketing did not respond to requests
for comment. The Biden campaign declined to comment on discussions.
So that is that that is a major thing that like they're just asking all these people
whose entire livelihood depends on like their audience trusting them.
And they're like, Hey, can you saddle yourself to the most unpopular guy ever for $1,000?
Yeah. Do you want to do a deal directly with the president?
Yeah. Do you want to do, can we just tie you to one of the most hated people in America?
For not that much money, but like among the traditionally among the they're like, yeah, we need
youthful influencers who don't think or believe any of the
things that young people do. Like, I mean, how else are you
going to get people to be in line with this shit? And like,
oh, I get to ask one tough question about the economy. That
is pathetic. And also,
those people are already like democratic staffers. Those people
probably work for John Fetterman, like the actual
young people who tow the Biden line and they're really
enthusiastic about Joe Biden.
They're in the fold.
Like those people, you don't need to do outreach to those
people because they're already, they work for you.
Yeah, but they're trying to, they're trying to expand, they're
trying to expand the youth vote beyond just people who they
directly pay their salary of.
Yeah. There aren't any more though. I don't think there are any more.
Yeah, there's not many to be had.
Alex, out of the WFYM roster of, let's shall we say, online influencers that are in your orbit or under your microscope,
who do you think would be the best, like the most useful for the Biden or for village communications to reach out to and do a deal with Biden to get
them to start doing Biden of content.
I bet if you got an endorsement from Joey's world tour or you
had Biden get in the in the car with him, that could win over
some votes.
Okay, that would it like, I think if Biden if you made Biden
eat any of Joey's like regular review staples, though, it would
probably kill him.
He should also go on hot ones.
Yeah. Yeah.
They can give him fake food,
like it can just have barbecue sauce
and he can be like, oh Jack, damn, that's hot.
Cause it might kill him.
I don't know.
You could try it.
I would love to see what a reaper,
what the reaper sauce would do to,
due to Joe Biden's gums at this point.
It would reap him.
He would be reaped and sent straight to hell.
I like, I just talking about like people who work for Fetterman.
I really liked that one guy, uh, Adam Gentleson, gentlemen,
whatever Adam gentlemen.
Yeah.
I like it.
He's my favorite guy.
I, I don't know. He
jumped out of the car while it was moving. Yeah. He's my favorite. He's my favorite. One of those
guys, because he does my favorite move that people do, which is like, this place is a fucking cesspit.
I'm leaving and not even like six hours later they come back and another thing
People who are constantly taking the social media breaks
Like taking breaks within those breaks. Yeah, I think he did leave actually I do remember that I don't know what he did leave
He did camp
To safer car rides and greener pastures. Yeah
Yeah to safer car rides and greener pastures. Yeah. It's just, yeah.
Are they getting arrested, Fetterman,
for attempted murder, for trying to kill his family
in his car catastrophe?
I don't know if they were in the car.
I don't think they would get in the car with him.
His wife was in the car.
Oh, was she really?
Yeah, in his most recent car accident, yeah.
Damn.
I think after like the third crash,
I would not get in the car with him.
That's what his aides were saying in that article. Yeah. They were saying like they used to take rides with him
and he would just be swerving all over the road and they just they take their own car
to the same place. Well, just to wrap things up for here today, if any if any representatives
from Village Marketing are looking for someone with a fairly, fairly politically engaged
and fairly large social media platform who's willing
to sell out to support the president and be seen with him.
It's at Wil Meneker on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Yeah, just hit us up on X, the everything site.
Yeah, but yeah, it's going to cost you though.
All right, that does it for today's episode.
Let's wrap it up. So Chris, you got anything?
Yes, we do actually.
We are launching a new little series of video shorts that are going to be coming
out throughout the summer created by Vic Berger and the Vic Berger
video squad, including Ben Craw and Oliver Noble.
They reached out to us earlier this year because Vic wanted to return to
one of his longtime muses, The Weird World of Donald Trump. So starting with a little
teaser supercut I'm going to put up tomorrow, they are actually putting together a three-part
documentary in the inimitable Vic Berger style about Donald Trump's kind of life in exile
outside for the last four years.
His Avignon papacy in Mar-a-Lago.
Called the Phantom of Mar-a-Lago. And I've seen some cuts of these and they have found some
really incredible footage of what life in Mar-a-Lago is like. So that's going to be releasing in about
three 10 minute chunks over the course of the summer. And then at the end, in a big like 30
minute minute mini doc. And the way we're gonna be putting these up is exclusively on Patreon for the first week.
And then a little later they will be on YouTube.
So look for the silence of the lamb.
We're gonna do a super cut tomorrow as a bit of a teaser.
And then the first episode should be out
right before the debate the week after next
or next week, I guess.
So yeah, just keep an eye out for those Vic Burger Supercuts hosted on Patreon and
then eventually on our YouTube channel.
Excellent. Very much looking forward to the Phantom of Mar-a-Lago.
All right, gang, until next time. Bye bye. to fly play in sports or skin dye study oceanography
