Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:55 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
Starting point is 00:01:32 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.
Starting point is 00:01:52 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.
Starting point is 00:02:11 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
Starting point is 00:02:39 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.
Starting point is 00:03:17 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?
Starting point is 00:03:46 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.
Starting point is 00:04:17 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
Starting point is 00:04:48 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.
Starting point is 00:05:20 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
Starting point is 00:05:52 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
Starting point is 00:06:15 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
Starting point is 00:06:35 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.
Starting point is 00:06:59 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.
Starting point is 00:07:19 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.
Starting point is 00:07:48 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.
Starting point is 00:08:23 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.
Starting point is 00:08:44 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.
Starting point is 00:09:03 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.
Starting point is 00:09:45 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.
Starting point is 00:10:14 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,
Starting point is 00:10:43 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.
Starting point is 00:11:20 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
Starting point is 00:11:55 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
Starting point is 00:12:14 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.
Starting point is 00:12:43 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.
Starting point is 00:13:04 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.
Starting point is 00:13:19 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
Starting point is 00:14:00 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.
Starting point is 00:14:45 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.
Starting point is 00:15:18 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.
Starting point is 00:15:45 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.
Starting point is 00:16:03 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.
Starting point is 00:16:16 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.
Starting point is 00:16:45 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
Starting point is 00:17:21 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
Starting point is 00:18:00 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?
Starting point is 00:18:38 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.
Starting point is 00:18:59 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.
Starting point is 00:19:35 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.
Starting point is 00:20:14 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.
Starting point is 00:20:34 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.
Starting point is 00:20:53 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
Starting point is 00:21:13 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.
Starting point is 00:21:46 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
Starting point is 00:22:02 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.
Starting point is 00:22:30 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
Starting point is 00:23:02 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.
Starting point is 00:24:16 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
Starting point is 00:24:52 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.
Starting point is 00:25:17 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.
Starting point is 00:25:43 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
Starting point is 00:26:05 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
Starting point is 00:26:59 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
Starting point is 00:27:38 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-
Starting point is 00:28:17 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
Starting point is 00:28:42 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.
Starting point is 00:29:17 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
Starting point is 00:29:45 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,
Starting point is 00:30:21 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
Starting point is 00:30:52 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.
Starting point is 00:31:22 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
Starting point is 00:31:49 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
Starting point is 00:32:08 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
Starting point is 00:32:45 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
Starting point is 00:33:32 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
Starting point is 00:34:09 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.
Starting point is 00:34:57 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
Starting point is 00:35:25 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.
Starting point is 00:36:02 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
Starting point is 00:36:43 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
Starting point is 00:37:16 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.
Starting point is 00:37:41 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
Starting point is 00:38:13 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
Starting point is 00:38:46 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,
Starting point is 00:39:23 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
Starting point is 00:40:01 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
Starting point is 00:40:27 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
Starting point is 00:41:04 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
Starting point is 00:41:29 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.
Starting point is 00:41:59 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
Starting point is 00:42:25 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.
Starting point is 00:43:04 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
Starting point is 00:43:28 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.
Starting point is 00:44:04 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
Starting point is 00:44:40 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
Starting point is 00:45:09 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.
Starting point is 00:45:34 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
Starting point is 00:45:58 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.
Starting point is 00:46:18 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
Starting point is 00:46:55 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.
Starting point is 00:47:10 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
Starting point is 00:47:55 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.
Starting point is 00:48:11 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.
Starting point is 00:48:31 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.
Starting point is 00:49:10 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
Starting point is 00:49:45 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?
Starting point is 00:50:11 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,
Starting point is 00:50:46 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.
Starting point is 00:51:08 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
Starting point is 00:51:49 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
Starting point is 00:52:12 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
Starting point is 00:52:57 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?
Starting point is 00:53:18 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.
Starting point is 00:53:42 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?
Starting point is 00:54:15 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
Starting point is 00:54:36 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.
Starting point is 00:55:05 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
Starting point is 00:55:43 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.
Starting point is 00:56:14 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.
Starting point is 00:56:48 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.
Starting point is 00:57:09 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
Starting point is 00:57:38 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.
Starting point is 00:58:07 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?
Starting point is 00:58:30 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
Starting point is 00:58:51 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
Starting point is 00:59:29 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.
Starting point is 01:00:07 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
Starting point is 01:00:46 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.
Starting point is 01:01:12 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
Starting point is 01:01:46 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
Starting point is 01:02:20 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.
Starting point is 01:02:51 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
Starting point is 01:03:27 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
Starting point is 01:03:53 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,
Starting point is 01:04:23 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
Starting point is 01:05:01 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
Starting point is 01:05:41 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,
Starting point is 01:06:14 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
Starting point is 01:06:35 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
Starting point is 01:07:06 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.
Starting point is 01:07:25 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,
Starting point is 01:07:38 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.
Starting point is 01:08:02 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
Starting point is 01:08:39 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.
Starting point is 01:08:54 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
Starting point is 01:09:11 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.
Starting point is 01:09:43 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
Starting point is 01:10:14 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.
Starting point is 01:10:50 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.
