00:00:00.000That is one of the most insane things when I'm watching people who are diehard conservatives and people who are Trump supporters literally calling people Nazis without any sense of irony that this is exactly the behavior that we used to object to the left doing.
00:00:14.540Because not only is it not true and not only are you assassinating people's character, but you're actually putting people in danger.
00:00:19.940But when the left does that, we call that rules for radicals. And we, you know, we acknowledge that this is a very Marxist way to behave and that we shouldn't be embracing this kind of behavior in this country. Essentially what they've done. Okay, I'll tell you something. When they started using that term woke right, like, I don't know, a year ago, two years ago, whatever. I kept like, I kept reading and going like, I don't get it. Like, I'm not a total idiot. Like, I literally don't get what this means.
00:00:46.860And I kept asking people, like, what do they mean when they say woke right?
00:01:06.840A year ago, Netanyahu, in that speech, the first one he gave, we're launching the eighth front in the war.
00:01:12.080when he's telling all the Zionist Christian Zionists, he says, we're going to use the term
00:01:17.520woke Reich, meaning Hitler, on anybody that disagrees with our war. And just cold-bloodedly,
00:01:22.740they know it's not true. Yeah. And now this has been embraced by a huge sect of the conservative
00:01:27.780influencer movement. Like you were talking about that post I put out yesterday, a number of large
00:01:33.780accounts on X, and I'm sure it's more than just the four I mentioned, literally writing identical
00:01:38.760language. And look, OK, it would be one thing if it was White House talking points,
00:01:44.980you know, if they were all putting out the same messaging about America or President Trump.
00:01:49.460It's about a foreign country. It's about a foreign government. I mean, they're all
00:01:53.200working in lockstep and putting out unified messaging about a foreign country. And I'm like,
00:01:59.780how is this America first? How is this the MAGA movement? Like, what is this? This is nothing like
00:02:05.680what I signed up for and nothing like what I lost all of my friends and went to jail for years ago.
00:02:12.160I mean, what the hell is this? And so to me, I'm like the most important work that I feel like I
00:02:16.620can be doing right now is getting everybody on the same page, seeing that the divide is real.
00:02:22.100It really is happening, helping people to understand what the divide is about.
00:02:27.280And then perhaps we can get the attention of the president and the administration and correct
00:02:32.360course to some degree. But, you know, we should have been focusing this whole last year and a
00:02:37.620half on mass deportations, making sure that the border is ironclad secure and getting the American
00:02:44.940people, the economy on track, making life affordable, coming up with solutions to make
00:02:50.360the American dream attainable to young people who feel like that there's absolutely no hope.
00:02:55.700They, you know, they don't think that they have a future. They don't think they're ever going to
00:02:59.200be able to buy a home they don't think that there's going to be a job market available to them
00:03:02.980with ai and h1b visas and immigrants uh we're not deporting millions of of absolutely well
00:03:11.760trump's made statements like i don't even think about the average american's economic problems
00:03:15.640i don't care about medicare and medicaid all i care about is war i say this all the time
00:03:19.700you know i no matter how i feel about how things are going right now one thing i'll always say is
00:03:24.980that I will always thank President Trump for being the person who got me to see that there is such a
00:03:30.820thing as fake news and propaganda. I would not have walked away from the Democratic Party if
00:03:34.840Trump hadn't run for office. But the problem with that is, is that Trump sort of woke everybody up
00:03:40.800and Trump got everyone to see things are not what they think they are with our government. They're
00:03:45.160not what we think they are with the media. But then it's like, it's almost like they forgot that
00:03:49.420they woke us up. And now they feel like they can just kind of keep repeating these talking points
00:03:54.020to us that are obviously not true, and we know what they're doing, and we know that what they're
00:03:58.960saying to us isn't real, isn't true. You know, when you're telling us, like, oh, the economy's
00:04:03.720never been better, and people have never been thriving, and business, people are not feeling
00:04:07.840that, and they're not seeing it, and they know exactly what you're doing. Real-time, uncensored,

00:04:20.380do you want to fight you better believe you got one well i've known brandon strong for i don't
00:04:27.820know eight years nine ten years he's been a big trump supporter so have i he was also there on
00:04:33.180j6 they tried to throw him in prison for no reason uh and you know he has since then he's always been
00:04:38.820popular but i gotta tell you he's just everywhere tens of millions of views every day elon musk
00:04:43.320reposting him um just doing really good commentary on the insanity in the world you see a lot of his
00:04:49.700clips here. So I wanted to invite him on the show just to get his 35,000 foot view of the midterms
00:04:55.660on Trump. Because I think his views are really similar to mine. I'm not throwing the baby out
00:05:01.120with the bathwater, but I'm really concerned about the Epstein cover up. I'm really concerned about
00:05:06.440the Iran war. I'm really concerned about Israel primarying our people and really throwing its0.99
00:05:12.340weight around. Straka put out a video today. It's gone viral because you see this everywhere where
00:05:17.720The Israel influencers have been given $1.3 billion Israel-funded in the last year, they admit that, to pay influencers here.
00:05:24.660And Netanyahu has all these secret meetings with Chatham House rules where he meets, you know, with dozens, sometimes hundreds of influencers at hotels here in the U.S.
00:05:34.160And citizens can have their pro-Israel view if they want.
00:05:36.540Just don't be on the payroll of a foreign government while you accuse us of being Qatari.
00:06:37.240Good to be back with you again, Alex. So the first thing I want to do really quickly is just make a minor correction on something that you said there, because a lot of people make this mistake. WalkAway has not been and has never been a movement specifically for gay people or the LGBT community. Since day one, WalkAway has been a movement for all people, and it began as a movement to walk away from the Democratic Party.
00:07:01.500We've had phenomenal success with the black community, the Hispanic community.
00:07:19.600And I think that kind of happened because WalkAway, especially in the early years, was phenomenally successful.
00:07:25.420And then everyone kind of started their own Blexit and Lexit and this.
00:07:29.600And then I think people just thought, oh, well, WalkAway is for gay people, but it's always been for everybody.
00:07:35.240And so that kind of leads me to the other part of your first question, which is, you know, we're still doing really great work with WalkAway.
00:07:46.920But to be honest with you, I've had to kind of pivot a little bit because we don't really live in times right now that are as simple as they used to be, where this used to be sort of a left versus right paradigm.
00:07:57.300I'm actually starting to question if it was ever just a left versus right paradigm.
00:08:01.620I'm starting to question more and more every day if the war has always been more vertical than horizontal.
00:08:07.320People on the ground versus the power structure as opposed to left versus right.
00:08:11.260Maybe that was always a little bit of a facade.
00:08:14.060But nonetheless, a lot of the work that we're doing right now is covering what we're calling the Great MAGA Divide.
00:08:20.100that a lot of people right now are actually walking away from MAGA,
00:08:27.220They're not becoming socialists or leftists.
00:08:30.200They're actually wanting the America First movement that we were promised,
00:08:35.740and a lot of people are questioning if they're getting that right now,
00:08:39.000and I'm finding myself in that camp as well.
00:08:41.520Well, I've been following your stuff basically almost daily
00:08:44.520ever since you blasted onto the scene, and you're right.
00:08:48.240Like, you got so many people to walk away from the Democratic Party and the media would, you know, I think, focus on a lot of the gay people that left as well.0.94
00:08:55.640But you got so many blacks, you know, leftists, you name it, because the Democratic Party was so corrupt.0.90
00:09:00.700It was so obvious. They were so racist. They were so divisive.0.99
00:09:03.680And now I've noticed that you are saying walk away from being establishment and have been critical of Trump to a great extent.
00:09:11.020I still see so many other Republicans that are running as much better than the Democratic Socialists.
00:09:15.580So I overall still support the Republicans, think people should vote, but they need to check each candidate, obviously not support a Lindsey Graham or a Thune or, you know, neocons like that.
00:09:26.260But at the same time, I think it's good to put pressure on Trump with his Israel first chance and things, because I've seen we're able to actually push him off of mistakes he's made.0.99
00:09:36.420A lot of black pillars get mad at me and they say, no, you're kissing his ass.0.99
00:09:41.080You shouldn't support him and praise him when he does something good.1.00
00:09:43.880we should just totally turn on him. Well, I mean, he's turned a lot on his base. Us putting pressure
00:09:49.360on him and the Republicans to do the right thing is a no brainer. We should keep doing that. But I
00:09:54.360do see this talking point that, oh, no, you know, you shouldn't praise this or praise that when it's
00:09:58.800good. You should just bash, bash, bash. And I know you've noticed that as well. How do you thread the
00:10:03.740needle on that? Well, OK, so what we've been doing with WalkAway is this series that we're calling
00:10:09.680the great MAGA divide debates, and we've been having people, it's right versus right, essentially.
00:10:14.720Most of the people in these debates, at one point or another, were firmly behind Trump and firmly
00:10:18.920behind the MAGA movement. Some of them still are. Some of them, like I said, have walked away and
00:10:23.640now consider themselves to be America first, but what we're trying to do is basically-
00:10:27.960And by the way, those are super viral. I should have raised that. I mean,
00:10:31.500Walk Away was a super hit, scared the Democrats so bad, really helped Trump win,
00:10:35.740uh definitely this last time and yeah you've launched these super viral uh debates that
00:10:42.100that really spotlight the real fight is america first or israel first isn't it that's a huge part
00:10:48.500of it that's a huge part and i'll tell you i'll kind of walk you through exactly the reason why
00:10:52.320we decided to do these um so you know many many months ago what eight nine months ago whatever a
00:10:57.640lot of the noise started being made about the fracture within the movement and of course on
00:11:01.680one side, you've got Tucker Carlson, you've got Alex Jones, you've got Megyn Kelly and many other
00:11:05.820on the other side, you've got Mark Levin and a number of other people. And I was visiting my
00:11:11.940parents probably six, seven months ago. And I was saying, you know, hey, what do you think about
00:11:17.100this big feud that's happening in MAGA and Tucker versus Mark Levin? And my mom was like, what are
00:11:22.660you talking about? And by the way, my parents are very I mean, they they watch Fox News every single
00:11:27.660day, you know, many, many hours a day. They're on Facebook. So they're not like uninformed people,
00:11:32.400but they're definitely living within a bubble that a lot of boomers are living within. And it
00:11:39.300became clear to me, I was like, wow, like she doesn't even know what I'm talking about. So I
00:11:43.700said, do you ever go on X? Do you ever? And she was like, no, not really. We mostly just kind of
00:11:47.340sit on Facebook. So I got her an X account. I got my dad an X account. I followed a bunch of
00:11:52.540accounts on both sides. And all of a sudden, she starts asking me a million questions. What is this?
00:11:58.560What is that? Why are they fighting about Israel? You're telling me that people are not siding with
00:12:03.520Israel? We're always supposed to side with Israel. And I was like, holy cow. And I started to realize0.93
00:12:09.280that this divide that's happening within the conservative movement, it's not just ideological,
00:12:14.340it's generational. And if you're over the age of 65, you're living in a completely different world
00:12:21.080than people who are under the age of 30.
00:12:23.820And then I'd say any of the age group in between
00:12:36.500ideologically backing the same political party,
00:12:40.740but like there's factions that don't even,
00:12:43.940like one hand is not even talking to the other.
00:12:47.200And so I was like, we got to sit people down.
00:12:48.960And so the first the first debate that we did was boomers versus millennials, which that one was phenomenally successful.
00:12:57.320But we had three really intelligent, conservative baby boomers versus three very intelligent, conservative millennials.
00:13:05.260And I mean, it was like they were speaking two different languages.
00:13:08.640And I thought this was really fascinating.0.71
00:13:10.340And the really interesting thing is when I announced we were doing this, my Facebook audience, which is older and more baby boomers, were super angry.0.74
00:13:18.700I mean, I lost thousands and thousands of followers just for having this conversation and doing this debate.
00:13:24.980But we're going to keep doing it. We're going to keep having these conversations because I agree with you completely.
00:13:29.780As angry as people in the conservative movement are getting at people who are being critical of President Trump, or I would say just demanding that he keep his promises, I think it is getting through and it is working.
00:13:42.200I mean, I think that we're actually impacting decisions that President Trump and this administration are making by forcing them to be accountable for the campaign promises that they made to all of us.
00:13:52.860Well, let's talk about that because you're really astute.
00:13:55.280I don't want to get your view on this.
00:13:57.900Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and the Israel lobby that have gotten one point three billion dollars last year officially from the government.
00:14:03.060There's a lot more than that for private interest to engage in the eighth front in the war that Netanyahu announced a year ago.
00:14:09.220and they admittedly, the talking points have come out. Trump's chief of all social media went
00:14:14.980public and said they offered him last year, $20 million a year. That's $2 million a month to
00:14:21.280put out talking points that they gave them. And you did a video on that, we'll play in a moment
00:14:27.240today, that actually shows just a snapshot of how in live time, at the same time, they're all
00:14:31.980posting basically word for word, the same PSYOP statement. And again, just be honest about it,
00:14:36.740OK, and we're not supposed to have all this foreign involvement in our politics.
00:14:40.440You know, supposedly the Russians do it with no evidence.0.98
00:15:25.200But I came before this and I'll be there after it.
00:15:27.380I'm about making America free and prosperous and just and decent, not just great.
00:15:32.580So, oh, you're not in the cool kid club.
00:15:34.360You're not the Jeffrey Epstein, Howard Lutnick table with Trump anymore.
00:15:37.020No, Trump, I'm glad, separated himself from me because I'd already done it, but I'm still there trying to influence him.0.76
00:15:42.620But what can you say about the genius of the Israelis tricking so many people and then tricking Trump into turning against his main base, which now killed him in the polls?0.61
00:15:52.880Yeah, so to answer that question, let me just take a step back really quickly and remind people that eight years ago, I walked away from the Democratic Party.0.76
00:16:00.540I was a diehard Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Democrat Party leftist supporter.
00:16:06.660And when I discovered the propaganda, the manipulation, because I, you know, as a as a Democrat, I fell for all of it.
00:16:12.480And I believed when I walked away and I came over to MAGA because that happened around 2017, 2018, I started walk away in 2018.
00:16:19.980I thought I was coming to the side that cared about facts over feelings.
00:16:24.180That's what I was told. This was the facts over feelings.
00:16:26.360People, I was told this was the side that doesn't fall for propaganda.
00:16:29.600We do our own research. We do our own homework. We don't fall for the brainwashing narratives, all the stuff.
00:16:36.620And for many, many years, that seemed to be true.
00:16:39.880And what I'm finding right now is that I actually I feel really betrayed in many, many ways because I lost just about everything.
00:16:48.940I lost my friends. I went to jail supporting President Trump. My reputation has been destroyed.
00:16:53.780I nearly lost my organization from from mass deplatforming after January 6th because we forget you were one of the most targeted people deplatforming.
00:17:04.540And now look at Laura Loomer was, too, but now she's for deplatforming.
00:17:07.700I'm so, so sad for her. Yeah. You've never changed your values, but you got put through hell.
00:17:12.300That would be a whole show. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:17:15.480Yeah. Banned from banks, banned from payment processors, banned from email services, banned from social media platforms.
00:17:20.960And, you know, still, I stayed with this movement. I stayed with this president. I continued to campaign in 2024, believing that this was the same MAGA that I was behind back in 2018, 2019, 2020.
00:17:34.740And what I'm finding now is that the behaviors that so many people in this movement are engaging in are identical, identical to the left that I walked away from.
00:17:45.540Let me interrupt. They literally use the Sandy Hook talking points on me. High level influencers, national hosts, low level. And they use all the other same leftist tropes that I'm a Nazi. And it's exactly the left's playbook.
00:18:00.300no that is one of the most insane things when i'm watching people who are diehard conservatives and
00:18:06.660people who are trump supporters literally calling people nazis without any sense of irony that this
00:18:13.160is exactly the behavior that we used to object to the left doing because not only is it not true
00:18:18.640and not only are you assassinating people's character but you're actually putting people
00:18:21.860in danger i mean the number of times i've been chased down the street that i've been physically
00:18:26.180assaulted or everything i went through with january 6th or anything else that all ties to
00:18:30.780mass hysteria that's created when you falsely designate somebody as a bigot or a racist or a
00:18:37.660nazi and you instill that kind of fear because you're saying it's okay to punch a nazi and when0.99
00:18:42.280they call you a nazi it's okay to hit you in the head with a brick yeah now our side is saying that0.99
00:18:47.240too and you know and you're saying isn't that clever that that they they found this way to kind0.99
00:18:52.740flip the script. I mean, yeah, I guess so. But when the left does that, we call that rules for
00:18:57.960radicals. And we, you know, we acknowledge that this is a very Marxist way to behave and that
00:19:04.220we shouldn't be embracing this kind of behavior in this country. Essentially what they've done,
00:19:08.940okay, I'll tell you something. When they started using that term woke right, like, I don't know,
00:19:13.860a year ago, two years ago, whatever, I kept like, I kept reading and going like, I don't get it.0.97
00:20:17.180And look, OK, it would be one thing if it was White House talking points, you know, if they were all putting out the same messaging about America or President Trump.
00:20:26.140It's about a foreign country. It's about a foreign government.
00:20:29.460I mean, they're all working in lockstep and putting out unified messaging about a foreign country.
00:20:35.980And I'm like, how is this America first? How is this the MAGA movement?
00:20:40.440Like, what is this is nothing like what I signed up for and nothing like what I lost all of my friends and and went to jail for years ago.
00:20:50.980And so this is what I want to focus my time and energy on with my organization, my activism and what we're doing, because, look, a lot of people, you know, and people who are angry at me right now are going, you know, why are you doing this?
00:21:04.780You should just be out fighting the left like you always do.
00:21:07.480And I'm trying to explain to them. And again, this is where we're living in different bubbles.
00:21:11.760I'm like, you guys are not getting it. If the midterms were tomorrow or if they were next week, I think that the majority of people under the age of 30 wouldn't even vote at all.
00:21:21.880Many of them might even come out and cast a protest vote for the Democratic Party.
00:21:26.000And I do think we've lost libertarians. I think we've lost independence.
00:21:30.220I think that we've lost a lot of young people.0.94
00:21:33.920I think the only people who are firmly still behind the movement now are mostly Zionists or boomers.0.99
00:21:42.000And I don't think that they're getting it.0.72
00:21:44.080And so to me, I'm like the most important work that I feel like I can be doing right now is getting everybody on the same page, seeing that the divide is real.
00:21:52.960It really is happening, helping people to understand what the divide is about.
00:21:57.100And then perhaps we can get the attention of the president and the administration and correct course to some degree.
00:22:04.420But, you know, we should have been focusing this whole last year and a half on mass deportations, making sure that the border is ironclad secure and getting the American people, the economy on track, making life affordable, coming up with solutions to make the American dream attainable to young people who feel like that there's absolutely no hope.
00:22:26.500They don't think that they have a future.
00:22:28.880They don't think they're ever going to be able to buy a home.1.00
00:22:31.000They don't think that there's going to be a job market available to them with AI and H-1B visas and immigrants.
00:22:38.320We're not deporting millions of immigrants.
00:22:48.880And Alex Brusilich, Trump's speechwriter, head of all social media, again, he said that a year ago the Israeli government offered him $20 million covertly, $2 million a month, to work for them and propagandize Trump.
00:23:12.560They're in the Defense Authorization Act trying to merge and marry, is the word they use, and synergistically our military.
00:23:19.740I mean, that is such a big deal, and you couldn't be doing anything more healthy spotlighting that because it's killed Trump in the polls, this Israel First stuff.
00:23:28.060I want to play a clip of that report you put out where you highlight just a snapshot of four accounts at the same time saying basically the exact same thing.
00:23:36.900And I even like some of these people on most of the issues, but sorry, you need to, like a NASCAR, put a big Star of David on you so we know who you're sponsored by. Here it is.
00:23:49.620Does anyone else find it a little bit crazy when a group of influencers has the exact same thought at the exact same time?
00:23:57.120What are the odds of this type of organic synchronicity? It really needs to be studied by science.
00:24:01.880An example of this phenomenon happened just today.
00:24:05.800The accounts of Ian Miles Chong, Will Chamberlain, Captive, Dreamer, and Sam
00:24:10.900all had nearly identical wave patterns.
00:24:16.280Completely organically, Ian Miles Chong wrote,
00:24:18.720anti-Semites are turning me into a Zionist.0.95
00:24:20.760Their low IQ energy is too much for anyone intelligent to handle.0.92
00:24:24.260Somewhere else in the world, Will Chamberlain happened to think to himself at the same time,
00:24:27.720really starting to feel like all the anti-Semitism out there is turning me into a Zionist.
00:24:31.880And like a cognitive ping pong ball, captive dreamer somewhere else in the country wrote, anti-semites are turning me into a Zionist.
00:24:38.860Their low IQ energy is too much for anyone intelligent to handle.
00:24:42.220And Sam, yet somewhere else in the United States, thought to himself at the same time, anti-semites are turning me into a Zionist.
00:24:48.840Their low IQ energy is too much for anyone intelligent to handle.
00:25:27.760And I would notice the publishing time would all be within seconds of each other because later on it was a PR firm of the Democrats with the DOJ and CIA involved that's come out in court, and they would paying them to send it out and all publish it at once.
00:25:42.280And that's what you're pointing out here.
00:25:45.920And at least I give Will Chamberlain a little bit of credit because he took the message that they were sent and at least kind of reworded it a little bit.
00:25:53.220I mean, it's incredible to me the laziness on top of that, that the other three literally just copied and pasted the message and published it without – they probably didn't even read it, honestly.
00:26:06.360So, Mike, I don't know who's giving this directive to them and who – what they're being compensated, who they're being compensated by to do this messaging.
00:26:15.140But again, this is propaganda on behalf of a foreign nation.
00:26:19.220And you have American influencers who are taking the bait and doing this and putting out this messaging.
00:26:37.480They're claiming that anybody who points this out is doing that because they're the ones being paid by Middle Easterners and Arabs and Muslims to overthrow America.0.74
00:33:56.260I was like, do you think I could ever get my story out on your platform?
00:34:00.220And he was like, oh, yeah, yeah, shoot me an email.
00:34:02.180So I shot him an email, and it was just the same thing.
00:34:04.600And long story short, never did a thing for me.
00:34:08.680And then when he actually had an opportunity to go in and be a part of the FBI and actually go in there and identify the people who made January 6th happen.
00:35:06.020I was promoting him, running for Congress, whatever.
00:35:07.600The guy, and now I've learned he's done this to all these other people, these FBI agents that gave him all the whistleblower stuff, Kyle Serafin and others.
00:35:14.960He then would go testify secretly to Congress when he's getting approved, saying, don't talk to them.
00:35:35.300And I had concerns right out of the gate because it seemed like Trump was filling his administration with podcasters, cable news hosts, influencers, and all of these people, all of them I know personally.
00:35:50.860And I thought, OK, if this, first of all, it's bad enough that you're going to go down this road because this is really serious business.
00:35:55.780I mean, when we're talking about de-weaponizing the DOJ, de-weaponizing the FBI, rooting out all the bad actors in the government, getting rid of corruption, you need to have very, very serious people, and they need to have an extremely thick skin.
00:39:40.400I really think that this all backfired.
00:39:42.680And I think I say this all the time. You know, I no matter how I feel about how things are going right now, one thing I'll always say is that I will always thank President Trump for being the person who got me to see that there is such a thing as fake news and propaganda.
00:39:57.460I would not have walked away from the Democratic Party if Trump hadn't run for office.
00:40:01.160But the problem with that is, is that Trump sort of woke everybody up and Trump got everyone to see things are not what they think they are with our government.
00:40:10.100They're not what we think they are with the media.
00:40:12.280But then it's like it's almost like they forgot that they woke us up and now they feel like they can just kind of keep repeating these talking points to us that are obviously not true.
00:40:21.160And we know what they're doing and we know that what they're saying to us isn't real, isn't true.
00:40:26.620You know, when you're telling us like, oh, the economy has never been better and people have never been thriving in business.
00:40:31.900People are not feeling that and they're not seeing it and they know exactly what you're doing.
00:40:36.260I love your point about the billionaires.
00:40:37.980I think that's been one of the biggest betrayals, watching Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel and all of these people that were at one time enemies to the administration.
00:40:49.500And every Trump voter, I mean, these are the people that Masti platformed Trump supporters, caused 10 times more damage to the January 6th defendants than they already would have been going through otherwise.
00:41:02.780I did one of my videos yesterday, like you were just talking about.
00:41:05.600Like, look, I'm not trying to just be a negative Nancy.
00:41:07.540I love how you always say you call balls and strikes.
00:41:10.660I'm trying to call balls and strikes, too.
00:41:12.580I'm trying to give praise where praise is due.
00:41:14.660But President Trump came out yesterday and said he's working with Walmart for Walmart to lower their prices temporarily to make life more affordable for people.
00:41:27.200But now everyone's going to go to Walmart.
00:41:29.320And this just negatively impacts mom and pop shops, small businesses.
00:41:32.540Why don't you incentivize small businesses to be able to drop their prices so we can get people into the mom and pop shops and getting everyday Americans thriving?
00:41:41.140Why are we supporting billionaire conglomerates like Walmart when everyday Americans are the ones who need these breaks and need these incentives and get their businesses thriving?
00:42:53.260I'm launching my own podcast here in a couple of weeks.
00:42:55.420one of the first guests I had was Joe Kent. And I asked him, I said, you know, we would need to
00:43:00.480deport at least like 15,000 people every day for the rest of President Trump's term if we were just0.99
00:43:05.560to try to get rid of the people that Biden brought in here illegally. And frankly, it's probably even0.60
00:43:10.260more than than those numbers. But that's what we we know of. And I asked Joe Kent, would that ever
00:43:17.020have been realistic? Honestly, sort of expecting him to say, look, it's really not that realistic.
00:43:21.260But I was a little bit shaken to hear Joe Kent say to me, we actually could have done that if we had come in hard on day one with a solid plan and made that our primary focus.
00:43:32.040He said, unfortunately, what we did is dedicate so much time and energy and resources to Iran, which he said has really been going on for over a year.
00:43:40.760It's not just this few months that we've been at war, three, four months, whatever.
00:43:44.540He said this has been going on since last summer.
00:43:46.720But he said we could have gotten the job done if this had been the primary focus of the administration.
00:43:52.020And so I want to make every day count with the time that we have left.
00:44:30.160And I think that there's going to be a huge splintering after the midterms between what will be America first and what will remain of MAGA.
00:45:41.000They know, and they're still going down this thing.
00:45:43.560So when the Democrats win the House and Senate and come after Trump and his family and everybody, they've already got investigations over billion dollar deals for Tungsten in Tajikistan with his son signed up for it with Ludnig's kids.
00:45:54.640The day after they hire their kids, Trump gives them a multi-billion dollar U.S. contract.
00:47:05.980I mean, my team and I were shocked when we read them because a lot of the, you know, MAGA versus America first.
00:47:11.440If there's 7000 comments, maybe more than that, like 98 percent of them are people saying I was firmly behind President Trump.
00:47:20.840I was firmly behind MAGA. I'm now identifying as America first because I'm not getting what I voted for.
00:47:27.020And look, I may be wrong. I've been wrong before.
00:47:30.260But I look at the results of Thomas Massey's primary and the and the breakdown of that by age.
00:47:35.460And that, to me, tells a very telling story about what I think I believe is going to happen in November, because there's been this sort of like false sense of security.
00:47:45.220A lot of people are lulling themselves into when they look at the primaries and saying, oh, these primary results are proof that MAGA is as strong as it ever was because all of President Trump's endorsements are are winning their primaries.
00:47:57.720I don't think that that's a legitimate indicator.
00:48:00.160I think what the legitimate indicator is going to be is who comes out in November and how they vote.
00:48:06.120And I think a lot of people are going to be really shocked when that happens.
00:50:28.420Basically, I think what I was saying was, and I missed a lot of what you said there because I froze up.
00:50:33.660But basically, to your point about, you know, on the one hand, this other side of the aisle wants to say that we're a small group of people.
00:50:43.840It's just a bunch of podcasters and people making noise.
00:50:46.260On the other hand, they seem to be very aware that there is a problem, that trouble's lurking around the corner, and they're going to be planning to blame us when that happens.
00:50:55.240But the other point that I wanted to make, too, because I hear this a lot, is when you start having conversations with these people and point out a laundry list of America First policies and principles that people voted for, that they really wanted, that they have not seen yet, these people always respond, yeah, but it's better than the Democrats.
00:52:11.320Now it's gotten worse because of the Strait of Hormuz.
00:52:13.500And I'm just sitting here going, if the Democrats sat around in a war room and said,
00:52:17.860if we could control Trump's brain and make him say things that hurt him, that we could put in ads.
00:52:22.520And when I saw him a month, two months ago at like 38 percent, I go, God, he'll be at 30 with these statements.
00:52:28.200And every time he did, he'd go down a few points. I mean, he's blowing his feet off with a shotgun.
00:52:32.400It's insane. Why is he saying stuff like this?
00:52:36.020Right. Oh, and the point I was making before about the Democrat socialists, it seems to be a great mystery for a lot of people.
00:52:41.180Like, why are people embracing socialism?
00:52:43.460I learned last year, so I started a Defeat Mom Donnie effort in New York City last year.
00:52:48.040I was literally the only activist in the entire country doing something.
00:52:51.740And we built a massive coalition of thousands of volunteers out there fighting Mom Donnie, got zero help from the Republican Party.
00:52:59.620But one of the things we were doing was doing these street debates all over the city, like on college campuses, but we were doing them on the streets of New York.
00:53:06.740and when people would approach the microphone and tell me they were voting for mom donnie and i would
00:53:10.800ask them why they would talk about the unaffordability of hold on brandon i know you've
00:53:16.060been on with us for 50 minutes but a two-minute break do five more minutes with us when you come
00:53:19.420back and finish this key point because that's another thing you've been doing now just knocking
00:53:22.700it out of the part a great example to other journalists and pundits of how to engage is
00:53:26.820brandon strock we'll be right back in two minutes i'm alex all right brandon strock got cut off by
00:53:32.780that break then we're gonna go to break after he goes i'm gonna give the number out take your
00:53:36.460calls hit a bunch of other news i haven't gotten to i got half the news i haven't hit yet more
00:53:40.340stuff just broke i just anybody ever says this is a boring news day is living under a rock uh but
00:53:46.220uh brandon continuing you you were getting into targeting mondami where was the republican juice
00:53:51.400i saw like no response except i mean they don't do anything no continue so you're right so we were
00:53:59.880doing these uh street debates in addition to a lot of other things and uh you know having uh new
00:54:04.720Yorkers approached the microphone and asking them if they were going to vote for Mom Donnie.
00:54:08.600Some of them said yes, some said not. But the ones who did, like I was fully prepared to go
00:54:12.940into this, you know, like dig in my heels and fight and debate socialism and Marxism, communism.
00:54:19.260But I'm telling you, the majority of people who approached the microphone and said that they were
00:54:24.020going to vote for Mom Donnie were very moderate, reasonable people. And they were just saying,
00:54:30.280like look i'm working two or three jobs i'm doing everything i'm supposed to be doing i'm 40 years
00:54:36.680old and i still have roommates uh you know i i can't afford groceries i can't afford gas i can't
00:54:42.560afford this and at least these you know the the socialists are offering some sort of relief for
00:54:50.040for you know and again these are people who feel like they did everything right they're at least
00:54:54.260addressing people's pain which trump used to do instead he says i don't care about any of your
00:54:59.260problems. And now you look at our side of the aisle, we've got Caroline Levitt going on Fox
00:55:05.240News saying that anybody under the age of 30 are a bunch of spoiled, lazy, entitled people with a0.96
00:55:12.460silver spoon in their mouth who don't know how to do a hard day's work. It's so out of touch. It's0.90
00:55:19.340unbelievable how out of touch we are at this point. And the Democrats see it. They know how
00:55:24.460to message it their plan is terrible it's catastrophic but at least they see the pain
00:55:29.560they identify it and they message towards it we're just making fun and further alienating our base
00:55:35.100do you think it's i don't think trump has dementia but definitely he's old and i think you know
00:55:40.640burnout comparatively doesn't sleep but i see the people in his administration you know vance has
00:55:45.760pretty good rhetoric but like levin and then exactly like if as i said earlier if i came up
00:55:50.840with something to hurt Republicans. It's what they do. Why would they make these tone deaf
00:55:55.240statements? The best I can come up with is that they're still stuck in this era where the way to
00:56:03.880fundraise and the way to basically get a positive approval rating is to make the boomers happy.0.71
00:56:11.400And a lot of what they're saying right now seems to be propaganda and messaging that is designed
00:56:16.700to make boomers either feel enraged or to make boomers feel somehow placated, that everything
00:56:45.240They want to succeed. They want to do well. They're not being given the tools that they need to thrive and do well in our economy.
00:56:53.640And we're focusing so much on trying to make, you know, boomers, I guess, feel reminiscent of, you know, a time in their lives when they were young and entrepreneurial that were completely alienating these younger voting, this younger voting base.
00:57:08.820And I guess I have to just assume that they don't realize times have changed and that they are trying to fundraise based off of this kind of propaganda.0.71
00:57:18.240No, I totally agree. That's what they say.
00:57:19.940And some boomers call and say, I'm not I'm not it's not all the boomers, but that's who voted against Massey, that on average, the boomers are drinking the Kool-Aid.
00:57:28.620We're not blaming other boomers. My parents are awake.
00:57:30.940They're boomers. But statistically, kind of those are the people that are kind of more Q like and just think everything's fine.1.00
00:57:37.700Trump's got it handled because they've got nicer houses and money.1.00
00:57:40.840They made out good with inflation because their houses still have value.
00:57:44.540And so there's some young, lazy people, but some of the smartest people are young,
00:57:48.080some of the most entrepreneurial, and they know what's going on,0.92
00:57:50.220and they are pissed, and they're not politically correct, and they don't give a damn.
00:57:54.540Brandon Strzok, you are doing a great job.
