Transcript
00:00:00.000
Now, it's time for the Anchorman Podcast with Matt Gaetz and Dan Ball.
00:00:20.040
Welcome to Anchorman. I'm Matt Gaetz alongside my good friend Dan Ball. And joining us for at
00:00:25.000
least a little bit of this episode, producer on The Matt Gaetz Show, Vish Burra, former
00:00:29.240
congressional staffer for myself, for George Santos, former body man for one Steve Bannon,
00:00:35.280
the founding producer of The War Room Podcast, and Firebrand, Vish Burra. Thanks for joining
00:00:41.700
us on Anchorman. And it was just your birthday. Thanks for having me. Happy birthday, big boy.
00:00:46.220
What's up? All right. This is the one we're always making fun of behind the scenes. Here's
00:00:50.240
the Vish. I enjoy, listen, I enjoy watching you guys film. And, you know, every time you
00:00:54.560
bring me up, it makes me feel, it makes me feel part of the family. That's how I felt yesterday
00:00:58.380
when I walked into the surprise with, you know, a bunch of our OAN friends and teammates
00:01:03.160
there. And that's how I feel when you guys mentioned me on the show.
00:01:06.080
And you feel so at home in California. What I have to tell people in your East Coast following
00:01:11.040
is that you, other than the cigarettes, you've gone carbon neutral. You have an e-bike now?
00:01:17.340
Yes. I did see you, right? You are like a little California liberal yuppie. He's zooming in
00:01:22.640
on an e-bike and I'm like, dude, where's your car? I have a gas guzzling German car. And
00:01:28.880
then here's Mr. New York. Wait, actually it's more like. It's silent. It's pretty, it's
00:01:34.220
pretty silent. It's a goat. It's called a goat power bikes. That's the brand that makes
00:01:39.220
it. It's the motor goat V3. And it's honestly, it's a great time. No gas. It takes, it takes,
00:01:45.680
I weigh 200 pounds. It takes me up that hill on Jutland at 20 miles per hour. That thing
00:01:50.980
is pushing. So, so does the e-bike count as an exercise experience?
00:01:57.320
When you have the pedal assist off, yes, it does. How, what percentage of the time when
00:02:02.520
you're on the e-bike, is it like exercise versus just a motorcycle?
00:02:09.160
Probably like 20% is exercise, 80% motorcycle. Yeah. And how far can you get on a full charge?
00:02:16.760
Again, this is San Diego. So he's going up and down hills to get to work. But if you're just
00:02:20.740
driving it normal day, whatever that, are you charging every couple of days like a Tesla
00:02:27.020
So for my commute, basically Monday through Friday, I just do one charge and it'll, you
00:02:33.700
know, it'll last me the week. I live about two miles, not even two miles away.
00:02:37.400
Well, that helps. Okay. Speaking of, speaking of charges, there's something I noticed out
00:02:42.040
about town that it, it, it, it is the height of irony. The new violent left thing to do
00:02:49.840
is to attack a Tesla charging station, right? And so I'm seeing like, they're like Elon's
00:02:55.340
a Nazi. There was a Tesla charging station. I went by where all of the things had been
0.99
00:03:00.660
vandalized. And I'm just thinking, so now the left that used to want everybody to have
00:03:05.780
to have an electric vehicle is now attacking the electric vehicle charging station because
00:03:11.020
they're guys working with Trump to save all of us money. So it makes a lot of sense. I
00:03:16.460
think, didn't we see something actually got more than just like graffiti and, and broken
00:03:20.340
and destroyed. I think they like burned some, like some like blue, they've been like getting
00:03:24.900
violent with these charging stations. So wait, are we supposed to, are we supposed to make
00:03:29.120
them happy by having gas powered engines? Is that, I don't, you don't remember, do you
00:03:34.560
remember 20 some years ago? Again, I'm a little older when those, the Greenpeace type people
00:03:39.220
were out blowing up Hummers at GM dealerships around the country. Remember that they wouldn't
00:03:43.840
just spray paint them. They would burn them, blow them up. That's the same crazies. And,
0.90
00:03:48.120
but then now they're doing it to electric charging stations, the one that want a clean environment,
00:03:52.540
but because it's connected to Elon again, this is the TDS. This is the Trump derangement
00:03:57.960
syndrome. And now the left are eating their own. They're going against their own causes.
00:04:02.160
I got to say it's glorious. It's dangerous. It's ridiculous. It's absurd, but yeah, they're
00:04:07.380
doing it. Well, I think it's just, it's, it's really about the ideology at the end of the day.
00:04:11.140
The thing that they say that they want is never actually the thing, right? That's the point.
00:04:16.600
They, they are for electric vehicles. They are for, you know, clean energy, clean environment,
00:04:22.260
all this stuff. Elon Musk makes it his essentially life calling or part of one of his life callings
00:04:29.460
to create a product for the American people at scale for the world at scale that does exactly
00:04:35.440
this, a fully electric vehicle, but the, and, and the moment, the moment he goes off script
00:04:42.240
on the ideological part, which is maybe associating with Trump, working with Trump, maybe a few right
00:04:47.980
wing views, maybe a few Republican views. Now he's a Nazi right now. Actually, I'm going
0.89
00:04:52.800
to burn down the very thing that I advocated for, for the last 20, 30, 40 years.
00:04:59.560
Well, hold on. I thought that they were so into the climate religion that they would be
0.86
00:05:04.100
willing to accept a Nazi if a Nazi was on their side on like the Greta Thunberg climate change
00:05:09.980
agenda. So is it, is it that they don't really care about emissions that would cause them to like,
00:05:15.600
even at Mardi Gras, Dan, they were attacking cyber trucks.
00:05:21.580
Does that expose them as not really caring about the environment and climate or does it just show
00:05:28.020
that there is no ideology that undergirds the anger?
00:05:31.420
I would say that. I think that, and that, and if you looked at the, the podcast between Charlie
00:05:36.400
Kirk and Gavin Newsom, I just got up here finished watching that a little minute ago. Um, it's interesting
00:05:41.100
that he was agreeing with Charlie on so many things. And it just goes to show that even one of
00:05:45.420
their staunchest leaders in liberal California, the governor, Mr. Newsom doesn't really believe
00:05:50.280
in what they're pitching. He doesn't, he was, he was aligning with Charlie and agreeing and saying,
00:05:54.920
yes, this was crazy of our side to do this. I don't think 90% of them agree or even understand
00:06:00.360
what they're fighting for. It's an ideology. That's all appear. Nothing's here, right? It's
00:06:05.000
not heart. I feel like I would hope you guys, cause I know where the hell I stand. I stand for
00:06:10.900
my convictions, my beliefs, my country, my God here in my heart and my head and my balls.
0.98
00:06:16.660
Okay. That's where I stand period. I don't need somebody to preach an ideology to me or coach me
0.96
00:06:22.000
into something or convince me of something. I know it because of these three things to be true.
00:06:27.040
And I feel like Democrats and liberals and these wackos that are out doing those things,
1.00
00:06:31.000
stuff we would never do. You know, I didn't go out and I didn't yank one Joe Biden sign out of
00:06:35.620
somebody's lawn or destroy somebody's car that had a Kamala sticker. But can many liberals say that
00:06:41.160
about us? No, they're the ones out there doing it, which proves to me one, they have no head,
00:06:45.300
they have no balls and they have no heart. Well, I sorry, go ahead. No, I think, I think honestly,
1.00
00:06:49.580
it's just that they want to see the message and the messenger aligned. And the moment that one of
00:06:56.400
those things goes off track, they abandon the whole project. Right. I think that that's what's going
00:07:01.440
on. Right. And so, so it's a, it's a demand for purity more than like the climate change, Elon being
00:07:07.240
more important to them to than the USAID cutting Elon. Right. It's that it's the demand for purity
00:07:13.560
across all spectrums. And any deviation or departure of that has to, has to require a
00:07:19.060
diminishment of every other contribution that you've made. Well, they don't even want robust
00:07:22.500
debate within their own party. I mean, think about it, right? With Democrats, it's their way or the
00:07:27.600
highway. I would say, and Matt, you know, this better than any of us, uh, being on the house
00:07:32.700
floor, having to debate folks in your own party, right? Because you had freedom caucus, you had
00:07:37.120
some of the old rhinos, you had some of the new diehard maggots come in. You had three or four
00:07:40.780
factions in the years you were in always fighting over the last eight years. You don't see a lot of
00:07:45.620
Democrats in fighting, even though behind the scenes, like I just said, I firmly believe they don't
00:07:49.840
believe in 90% of the stuff they're spewing, but they're afraid to go against the ideology,
00:07:54.760
the party, anything with their messaging. And because I feel like this, they're overeducated,
00:08:00.940
number one. And the way elites educate on college campuses, as we know is, and underloved,
0.84
00:08:05.420
they're told what, right? You're a victim. The oppressor now is Donald Trump. The oppressor is
00:08:11.600
Elon Musk. The oppressor is Matt Gaetz. And so you're the oppressed. We're trying to help you. And if
00:08:17.060
you're not on board with us and the messaging and the ideology, 110%, then F you. And that's what they
00:08:23.280
saw with Elon. Elon was one of us. He has to be. He's a climate guy. Oh shit. He's helping Trump.
00:08:28.360
You're out. Just like they all were with Trump. Like if Elon Musk could have ended the gas powered
00:08:33.440
car entirely and solved climate change, I think the fact that he's with Trump means they cancel
00:08:38.240
him anyway. Oh yeah. For the reason you just said. Look what Trump just said at the speech.
00:08:42.080
Okay. So speaking of the speech, it's speaking of the floor. Yeah. All right. So Al Green
00:08:48.000
goes waving his pimp cane around. You called it. Okay. And, and then they just censured
00:08:53.920
him. Yeah. They took time. That was quick. Okay. So would you have voted to censure Al
00:08:58.160
Green? I want decorum, but I also, I also know back in the day how we used to have robust
00:09:08.000
debate on that floor. And if you go back and look at the logs 200 years ago, we weren't civil.
00:09:14.160
We didn't have all this decorum. People were banging stuff and yelling here, here, that's
00:09:19.380
how we got our message across. So, so you respect the game. I, I like that game, you know, cause
00:09:25.340
you know, I ran and if I'd have been in there and I don't want an 18, you and I would have
0.96
00:09:28.540
had a hell of a lot of fun. If I'd have been in there. Dan Ball would have been waving
00:09:31.460
the gold plated cane. I would have brought a cane. I didn't even need just so I could use
00:09:36.000
it. So, so Vish, you actually believe Al Green is the front runner for the Democrat nomination
00:09:41.200
for president in 2028 right now after this moment. Well, after the centuries, at least
00:09:45.360
the front runner for the Senate race in Texas, I'm sure for that primary, but Hey, I think
00:09:51.360
honestly, first of all, I would have never, if I, if I ever had the opportunity to vote
00:09:55.580
on the house floor, I would have never voted to censure Al Green. And in fact, I think Al
00:10:00.080
Green was the Democrats strongest soldier that night. Uh, especially when you compare it to
00:10:06.140
all these people holding up paddles in the, in the gallery, like, you know, they're playing
00:10:10.400
bingo or something. Right. That was in those aesthetics were just pathetic. The left, the
00:10:16.040
democratic party, they are so, so desperately looking for strong leaders right now and they
00:10:21.880
just can't get them. There's nobody that the base hates more right now than Hakeem Jeffries
00:10:28.660
or Chuck Schumer. They don't know which one, but they know that they're both at the top of
00:10:33.400
the list. And the fact that none, nobody could muster up any response outside of Al Green
00:10:39.480
to, to put it, put on a show like, Hey, I will stand up to, I've been calling this guy
00:10:44.180
a Nazi and all sorts of crazy stuff for the last 10 years. Where was the squad going to
00:10:48.640
stand up? Right. Where were the wild women in white? And he did it. And honestly, I commend
0.79
00:10:53.720
him for being a guy who stood up with some courage. Well, I mean, look, the speakers did
00:10:58.280
the right thing by throwing them out, but I feel like after you get thrown out moment
00:11:02.180
over, but that's enough. You made an ass of yourself. To take the time on the house floor
0.99
00:11:07.020
to then go back and censure him, I think elevates him. I think it makes the house look small.
00:11:11.960
It's like, look, look, we, we have all these executive orders to put into law. The government
00:11:16.720
funding runs out in March and Dan, they're thinking about doing a CR.
00:11:22.040
What are you? I mean, I, I just, I listen, I had Jim on Jordan, you know, I think you did
00:11:26.820
too this week or last week. And I'm being told that Trump's back in the CR, the speaker's
00:11:30.760
backing it. Most Republicans are backing it. I just wish we'd let the whole damn thing shut
00:11:34.460
down. Let it shut down. Why can't you balance a budget and show the American people that
1.00
00:11:39.380
you do what we have to do every day? Because as you're learning now in the private sector
00:11:43.260
and you've known for years and I've known for even more years, if I don't balance my
00:11:46.760
budget, I'm screwed. I don't get to print money. I don't have to get a call, phone in
00:11:50.720
a friend and ask for more cash. I know I'm broke. I think the American people want to see
00:11:56.560
our elected official officials do the same. So let it shut down. And I get that the CR
00:12:01.360
is not going to allow any more of the pet project and extra funding go in and blah, blah,
00:12:05.980
blah. I got all explained to me by Jim Jordan the other day. And I went, yeah, I get that.
00:12:09.420
I understand that. But why can't we just let it shut down and see what happens? It's like
00:12:13.480
the Pentagon not meeting a budget in how many, an audit rather, in how many decades almost.
00:12:20.800
Right. Since the nineties, they said, how can this be? I mean, not one American family
00:12:26.800
could not pass an IRS audit or our asses would be in jail. Not one American family can overdo
00:12:33.360
our budget and go, you know what? I'm 10,000 over. Don't worry about it this month, sweetie.
00:12:37.240
Keep feeding the kids, pay the mortgage, make the car payments. Honey, there's no money. Oh,
0.92
00:12:41.680
print some. None of us can do the things that DC does. And so I think people just has to sell
00:12:47.580
some of his collectible sneakers that he buys. Is that where you put the cash?
00:12:51.540
How many, how many pair of sneakers do you own, Vish?
00:12:54.460
At least 60 or 70. Holy. At least 60 or 70 that are open.
00:13:02.140
Because I don't even own 60 shoes. Hold on, hold on. The true collectibles.
00:13:05.720
The true collectibles are there. I have another 30 or 40 there that are just sitting in the box.
00:13:11.600
Never opened. Never opened. And those like go up in value over time. And,
00:13:16.460
you know, that's, but the way I kind of get it, cause I'm not going to sit there and try to sell
00:13:21.760
all these sneakers. What I do is I give myself reasons. Like if I accomplish this, I'll open
00:13:27.320
this, this box and put them on my feet. Right. That's, that's kind of how I reward myself in
00:13:32.660
that regard. So since moving to San Diego, I was like, Oh, now that I'm moving to California,
00:13:36.740
I'll open up a new pair. So I opened up these Versace's. Uh, and that's, uh, this is,
00:13:42.260
this is what I rewarded myself with. He's single name dropping Versace. I want to see these. Hold
00:13:47.400
on. He's got 60 pair of shoes. He's wearing Versace's and DMs are open. Uh, I say that again.
00:13:55.180
Damn. I wanted to get, I wanted to get, uh, your take on another story. I didn't get to cover it on
0.99
00:14:00.720
the show, but the BLM square from the George Floyd riot. All yellow in DC. So it's getting
00:14:09.300
painted over. I saw that. And it's getting renamed. And I wanted to ask you about it,
00:14:14.780
because you always talk about how, um, seizing territory is important as a symbol, as a sign.
00:14:21.540
And, uh, it, it was all the talk of DC when it originally got named. What's your take on the
00:14:29.800
move to seize that territory back from whatever that was? Well, first of all, I love it. Secondly,
00:14:36.080
they should, whoever supported that being there in the first place should be, should consider like
00:14:42.260
themselves lucky and should consider us rather humble and like really nice because we didn't
00:14:48.860
burn it off. Right. The way BLM burned our cities down when that, when that was going on during the
00:14:54.920
summer, you know, of 2020, we didn't go that we didn't, we're not, we're just, we'll just power
00:14:59.660
wash it off. We are doing this very nicely, right? Very orderly. We're going to remove something that
00:15:05.380
should have never been there in the first place and seizing that territory. Again, it's very important
00:15:11.580
that the world knows and America knows that it's not just the big things, the symbolism of the
00:15:17.860
little things too, like that street, you know, with the, with the name on it. It's, it's, it's
00:15:22.460
almost like broken windows, right? If, if someone sees that broken window, they think that whole
00:15:27.360
building is not being taken care of. If they see that BLM thing on the, on the street in front of
0.96
00:15:32.420
our nation's capital, they think that, you know, it's like, wait, uh, some, how, when did America not
00:15:38.500
know that black lives, you know, didn't matter that they need this reminder here. It's totally
0.90
00:15:43.560
ridiculous. It was always ridiculous. And again, they, the, the, the detractors should
0.96
00:15:49.560
be, should feel like, you know what? These guys aren't as the monsters that, that we make
00:15:54.380
them out to be because they're not, they're not going there and, you know, like get grabbing
00:15:59.920
their monster trucks and like rubber on it. It's like, we knew the election was stolen in
00:16:04.240
2020. You didn't see us rioting in the streets and burning stuff down and acting crazy. Conservatives
00:16:09.020
could have went nuts. But how, how do you, we didn't, how do you Dan rank kind of the
00:16:12.940
importance of reseasing that territory from whatever mind virus led us to name it?
00:16:19.460
Oh, I, I'm, I'm a hundred percent in with Vish. I think it's great. I mean, look what Trump's
00:16:22.960
doing with Gulf of America, the Panama canal coming back to our control. He understands that
00:16:29.920
symbolism and Vish gets it as well. That's a big deal. I mean, being a veteran, look, anytime
00:16:35.160
there's a symbol, you can get young fighting men to do something off of one amazing symbol,
00:16:41.680
right? That's why it's so important to have a great commander in chief because a Ronald
00:16:46.200
Reagan, a president Trump, somebody like that can stand up there and say, fight, fight,
00:16:50.460
fight, or say something. And you can mobilize an entire movement off that one symbol. So
00:16:55.000
I agree with Vish. If you're taking a major street in our nation's Capitol and you're defacing
00:16:59.480
it, and that's what it was defacing it for a movement that was corrupt as hell from the
0.61
00:17:04.680
beginning. I mean, talk about the money that was wasted. Who was the top gal? What was her
1.00
00:17:09.680
name at BLM that was buying the mansions, which by the way, she lost one or two of them in the
0.99
00:17:13.180
fires. Sorry for your loss, sweetie. Was paying her brother a million dollars a year for security.
00:17:20.200
I'm okay. If we repaint the hallway in front of the tax enforcement division at the department
00:17:24.280
of justice with the BLM sign, I'm okay for the reasons dad just laid out. Um, all right.
0.94
00:17:30.740
So, so this all emerged. I mean, the reason that Plaza happened was the George Floyd riots. It was
00:17:36.960
a spasmic reaction to that. I saw a lot of calls online recently, even amplified by Elon Musk for
00:17:48.240
Have you, have you thought given that thought, Dan?
00:17:50.060
Yes, I have. I think it will cause a lot of outrage and I'm all for it.
00:17:53.960
I think that, that Derek Chauvin should be pardoned, but I find this push now at this
00:18:02.240
moment, weird and inorganic. And especially that it came from like, you know, uh, daily
00:18:09.020
wire, Ben Shapiro, you know, pardon Chauvin day. He's pushing a link there too. I find it
00:18:14.840
very odd. I think it's, it's a weird, you know, data grab at the very least to get, to build
00:18:21.360
up an email list off that. Um, and I, I, I'm kind of wondering why Ben Shapiro of all
00:18:27.600
people would make this big stand to pardon Chauvin now. And just to clarify, I don't even
00:18:33.660
think president Trump can pardon him cause they're not federal charges, right? That's
00:18:38.080
the other, that's the other. So it's a total like, and what Ben Shapiro is, doesn't know
00:18:43.060
that you're telling me, but he's still going to call for it. Doesn't that seem a little weird
00:18:46.680
So you're just smelling a straight grift on it. I it's, it's, I think it's worse than
00:18:50.320
a grift actually. I think that there is a, again, I don't care if it's pushing it. I
00:18:55.040
was, I was asked if I agreed with it. Yes, you're correct. They were state charges for,
00:19:03.380
Not first, but it's state. It's not federal. So a president can't pardon you. It would
00:19:11.160
But yeah. And that's what I figured. And that, and that's what I agree with because no one wants
00:19:15.040
to go to the facts on the left and look at this man's toxicology, medical history, fentanyl
00:19:21.540
There was four, I think, different drugs. Uh, don't quote me. This is a podcast. So you
00:19:25.500
can fact check me later, but he had fentanyl, marijuana. I want to say either heroin and cocaine
00:19:31.320
and another one that was three or four drugs. Then look at the physicality of the man. They
00:19:35.620
said he had, um, uh, deterioration around the heart tissue because of the decades of drug
00:19:41.360
use. So he had a weak heart. He was on tons of drugs that day. Oh, and he had COVID, which
00:19:46.020
makes breathing already difficult. And so Derek Chauvin-
00:19:50.000
RFK Jr. has called it out. Big Pharma and the government work together to suppress treatments
00:19:54.460
like ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine. And why did they do this? Well, because if they admitted
00:19:59.640
that those treatments worked, then they couldn't rush through the COVID vaccine. And let's be
00:20:04.520
honest. You had a lot of big companies out there in Big Pharma who didn't want to miss
00:20:09.280
out on their billion dollar payday. So they would just push the vaccine. They made sure
00:20:14.800
you had no other options and they wanted to be in charge of your healthcare. We actually
00:20:18.440
think you should be in charge of those choices. That's why we want you to go to allfamilypharmacy.com

00:20:52.800
Nice segue because that's actually the truth though about COVID. Let's be real. The whole thing was a
00:20:57.120
damn pandemic. And George Floyd was sick that day, had been sick for years, was on tons of drugs. And
1.00
00:21:04.600
that cop did what thousands, if not probably millions of cops have done over the decades when
00:21:10.680
arresting a perp who's not obeying, they put a knee in the back. I actually tried that by the way. I had
00:21:17.860
an officer friend about the same size, do it to me right after it happened back in that summer.
00:21:22.880
And I lasted more than 14 minutes or whatever it was. I'm sitting here. I didn't die, but I also
00:21:29.080
wasn't a 20 some year drug user. I didn't have four different illegal narcotics in my body.
00:21:34.960
Not even four that makes sense to try together.
00:21:37.280
No, exactly. No. I mean, don't, don't mix your Coke with your marijuana. Why would you want to do
00:21:41.360
that? Um, so yes, I would hope that he would get out. It probably won't happen. Look at the state
00:21:47.940
that sent him to prison. And so, you know, like my grandma used to say, wish in one hand, do you know
00:21:53.540
what in the other, put them together. It's still shit. So we got our guest. We got Alex Stein.
1.00
00:21:59.840
Welcome to the podcast, buddy. I invited on a friend. Uh, this is our pal. If you don't know
00:22:05.460
the pimp on a blimp, Mr. Alex Stein, he's got a little, uh, talk show like Matt and I over at the
00:22:11.360
blaze, the boys with Glenn Beck. And so I thought we would ask the pimp to come on since this is kind
00:22:16.400
of a bro's anchorman, right? Podcast. Um, Alex, if folks don't know you fill them in.
00:22:23.240
Well, guys, I'm primetime 99, Alex Stein. Um, AOC's ex-boyfriend, Tucker Carlson's biological
00:22:28.900
stepson, but I got to say happy birthday to Veech. Are you kidding? Last night I saw that. And guys,
00:22:34.280
if we want to give a little inside baseball, the people that are watching this podcast, people need
00:22:38.520
to go follow obviously Dan, Matt, I'm sure everybody is and Veech, but Veech last night,
00:22:43.540
that cake in your face, that was a little intense. Like, are you okay? I saw that video. I watched it
00:22:48.780
10 times because it just, I've never seen a cake implode like that. And, uh, you handled it well.
00:22:56.120
I don't know if I would have handled it as good as you did. Very professional. Uh, yeah, we need to
00:23:01.500
roll that video. That's what happens when you let a Marine do something, right? Like, like, because I was
00:23:07.680
talking with our friend that, that smashed that in your face and I knew his background being in the
00:23:12.640
Marines, being a, um, UFC fighter and everything else. And he was asking if I wanted to do it.
00:23:17.680
And, and I'll admit as an air force guy, Veech, I probably would have given you a push like that
00:23:22.880
with the, with the, with the cake in the face. A normal person, Dan, Dan, timeout. A normal person
00:23:28.300
would have pushed it very gently. That was a very, I'm just saying a normal person, you know,
00:23:32.980
everybody's kind of smashing. You just got to smash it. I mean, that was not just a smash.
00:23:37.440
That's the difference between normal and Marines. This is a dig from a zoomie to the jar heads.
00:23:42.280
That's the difference between air force and Marines, Marines, you know, air force, we do
00:23:48.180
stuff with a scalpel. Marines just take a blunt force object and bash you over the head with it. So
0.92
00:23:53.780
happy birthday. That's why you're still honestly chocolate cake from your nose hairs today.
00:23:58.600
I was just grateful that I did not go home with that cake because I would have eaten all of it
00:24:03.600
and I would have looked like that round pie. It was really good. Did your wife pick that out for
00:24:08.640
him? She did. She did. So are you a birthday guy, Alex? Are you like a celebrate big on the birthdays?
00:24:14.780
No, I hate birthdays. I think birthdays are the worst thing ever, you know, and I'm not just saying
00:24:18.620
that to be, you know, uh, different, but yeah, just cause it really, what are we celebrating?
00:24:22.560
Like, I feel like we should almost celebrate the last day of that younger year than, you know,
00:24:26.160
celebrating the new year, but I'm a little bit of an ageist, but real quick, cause I know I'm only on
00:24:30.360
for a short time and Matt, such a big fan, but, and I'm sure you're getting a lot of heat and I
00:24:34.740
know we can't judge stuff, but I'm just so frustrated that you're not the attorney general
00:24:38.600
right now, uh, when it comes to this Epstein release. And I'm not going to attack Pam Bondi
00:24:42.440
because I know there's a lot of red tape, but I mean, what's going on? Do you think we'll ever
00:24:45.760
actually get some transparency, Matt? I am a big Pam Bondi fan. And I believe that the effort to
00:24:51.220
frustrate the Epstein release is largely driven by the very foreign governments who are involved in
00:24:55.740
running Epstein. I think, I think that we would have had this information long ago and he'd probably
00:25:00.780
still be alive today. If Epstein wasn't working with at least one foreign government during the
00:25:05.880
time of the Iraq war to keep a leverage over key voices in academia and business and politics.
00:25:13.180
And I think that the exposure of that operation would necessarily lead to some very uncomfortable
00:25:20.160
moments for some other American allies. And then you have to start thinking like, huh,
00:25:24.800
do we think of the UK as an ally that I guess, because they fight with us in every war,
00:25:30.000
but like they were spying on president Trump. They were involved in the espionage against Trump.
00:25:35.340
And you think about other allies or so-called allies that are willing to spy on us, not to hurt us,
00:25:40.900
but at times to work with other people who are then in turn willing to hurt us. So I appreciate
00:25:47.000
the support. You know, I did see a poll today that I am like the leading Republican candidate for
00:25:53.040
attorney general of Florida. So I, I, I had not mounted a campaign for that. It wasn't really
00:25:58.160
something I was looking at, but, uh, it was, it was nice to see. And maybe, I don't know, maybe the
00:26:02.980
AG itch is one that doesn't go away with one scratch. All right. So I got a follow-up since,
00:26:08.640
uh, Stein threw that one out. Is he dead? And if you believe he's dead, did he in fact kill himself
00:26:15.020
with those sheets or was he killed in that prison cell? I, I believe he was killed. And that is my
00:26:21.160
opinion. He is dead, but he was killed, not suicide. Right. I believe they had to kill him
00:26:25.420
because Epstein walking around was a loose end, right? For the far more powerful entities that
00:26:31.480
were running Jeffrey Epstein. I think that is like what he did was horrible, but the, um, the globalist
00:26:38.360
powers that were running Epstein, uh, I think we're not able to allow him to give testimony
00:26:45.640
or reveal other evidence. Vish, same two questions to you. I do not think he's dead. Oh, he differs
00:26:52.380
from the Matthew. Well, Vish also doesn't think Tupac is dead. I'm listening. I'm all ears. Go ahead.
00:26:58.720
This, I have a very simple, you know, show me one picture of the guy either going in or out.
00:27:06.060
That's it. That's it. I don't even think he was in the prison that I think that he has been
00:27:12.060
disappeared into some witness protection program style thing for whatever foreign government or
00:27:17.920
governments he's working for. And they're just keeping a close eye on him. I don't, because I
00:27:22.560
think that, that they want to keep them around for something in the future. He, he's the final black
1.00
00:27:28.880
book, right? And so that's that you, you want to keep him around just in case they might need
00:27:34.500
something else in the future to leverage against allies or enemies. Alex, same to you. Is he dead?
00:27:40.580
And if he is dead, who killed him himself or one of those prison guards or some big, powerful entity?
00:27:46.180
What do you think? Well, I mean, it's obvious that, uh, you know, it's kind of sad though.
00:27:51.160
We're having this great conversation and like, you know, if we even just kind of talk about it
00:27:54.900
intellectually, honestly, they'll, they'll say that we're, you know, anti-Semitic or, you know,
00:27:59.140
going after somebody, but, and that's, what's frustrating about this whole entire situation.
00:28:03.220
But Jeffrey Epstein, I believe is dead. They had to kill him. But if we want to take it one step
0.72
00:28:06.840
further, because this has been such a great conversation already, Dan, you had me dying,
00:28:09.960
laughing, talking about your cop friend. And you know, this is a weird thing with Derek Chauvin,
00:28:13.740
but let's really get into it. When it comes to those Hillary emails, you know, Matt, as the AG,
00:28:18.800
if you would have been the AG right now, would you have ever looked into that? Because I know Ian Carroll's
00:28:22.920
going viral for talking about on Joe Rogan, but you remember 2016 is Pizzagate. And I'm not saying that all
00:28:28.260
these politicians are really drinking the blood of children, but you know, those emails were weird.
00:28:32.240
Like if we're going to really get into conspiracies, I feel like that whole Pizzagate conspiracy is
00:28:36.520
really bizarre. And I'd really like to get your opinion, Matt. You think Pizzagate is any credibility
00:28:41.200
whatsoever? Is that totally a rabbit hole? Why not? Well, why not? We're talking about crazy
00:28:47.400
conspiracies. Yeah. Uh, we're not going to go to the moon landing now, but I, uh, I, if I were attorney
00:28:53.740
general, I would focus on the crimes that were within a statute of limitations where you could
00:28:58.660
bring a charge. And I think most of that would be beyond it. So it would not get any of my attention
00:29:03.320
in that circumstance. But I do, I do think, uh, I do think the way that this rollout happened with
00:29:09.840
the influencers and the binders was, was weird. Like Alex is someone with a massive digital presence.
00:29:15.320
If the white house invited you there, you would go. And if they gave you something, you would probably
00:29:20.520
take it and read it. But do you think that some of the people involved in that feel a little used?
00:29:26.560
Well, I know, I know Chad, I know Savannah and both of them definitely feel like, you know,
00:29:32.620
that they were obviously kind of just, uh, I don't want to say patsies in the whole thing,
00:29:36.700
but they all took all the arrows. They took all the hate. And in reality, like you just said,
00:29:41.040
if anybody got invited to the white house, you would go there and you would gladly accept it. So
00:29:44.880
yeah, I think that was done kind of on purpose to make it seem like we were getting information
00:29:48.960
when in reality, we got nothing. Well, they were there for a different reason though. Don't forget,
00:29:52.360
I had Chad on, I think the two, two days after it all went down and I was talking with Drano,
00:29:57.680
uh, Rogan O'Hanley, uh, and a few other ones. And they all said, we got invited by the white
0.83
00:30:03.300
house. The administration invited them to talk about how social media influencers will be used
00:30:08.340
along with legacy mainstream media throughout the next four years, because we feel that that's
00:30:13.020
something positive. So more Americans can hear from the Trump administration and not just
00:30:17.220
through CNN, ABC, and the old, old legacy media. And so they all told me, and I'm sure you heard
00:30:22.700
the same thing, Matt, we were here for that. We got done with that briefing with the press secretary,
00:30:28.140
Caroline and others. And then as we were about to leave and we're in this one room,
00:30:32.620
that's when Pam and cash walked in and Pam presented them with the binders,
00:30:36.260
didn't give them too much guidance. Just said, this is embargo till 3 PM. When I'm going to release
00:30:41.160
it to everybody, have a nice day. Now go out this door, not the door you came in.
00:30:45.180
They walked out and there's the press score going, Hey, Hey, Hey, what'd you get? What'd
00:30:49.000
you get? And they're like, um, this, and they held it up. So yeah, I don't fault any of the
00:30:56.120
social media influencers, which are a lot of my friends. Um, because I don't know,
00:31:01.080
Vish that you had, you had friends in that group. You're an aspiring influencer.
00:31:04.840
Inspiring. Wow. I didn't know. I didn't know you thought so a lot. So little of me.
00:31:10.780
You guys need a room. I mean, I can leave if you guys would like me. No, no, no. Okay. I think,
00:31:16.120
uh, I, you know, I, I think that it was a botched rollout and I think Pam Bondi is not really ready
00:31:23.400
for prime time. No, she is. She's no bad. You guys are going to, she's getting a little bro
00:31:29.480
fight. That's a while. I mean, look at the, the clearly something was botched. You know,
00:31:34.940
very well about content strategy and content release and how you do it, especially at that
00:31:39.860
level with that mode, those many eyes. And you have all, you've decided to give it to all these
00:31:44.040
influencers as well. Um, and knowing very much that that's going to be released somehow,
00:31:49.900
it's going to get, you know, make it to the press. And by the way, that door they walked out of,
00:31:55.620
there were cameras all waiting there. Like, didn't they, you're telling me that someone in
00:31:59.440
the white house didn't know that those people were walking out. Do you think it had to do with
00:32:03.640
that? She was on Fox the night before bragging that it was all coming out the next day. I'm giving
00:32:09.080
it all. I'm releasing it. And then she got the binder from the FBI. Did she realize then that the,
00:32:14.480
the goods weren't in there? It was just the Rolodex again. And then went, well, let's just put it in
00:32:18.780
and give it to these influence and let them pump it up. And we'll call it phase one. Like,
00:32:22.180
do you think it was that deep where she knew, Oh crap, I said this on Fox, I better make something
0.92
00:32:26.500
look good tomorrow. I'll do it this way. And then cover my ass because I'll say, well,
0.70
00:32:31.540
it's what the FBI gave me. I didn't realize it wasn't all the goods yet. How do you not realize
0.99
00:32:35.180
it wasn't the goods? I think that you're, she's fighting on so many levels against these folks.
00:32:40.900
We'll see if it comes out, but look, I mean, on our last program, Pearson sat there and said,
00:32:45.100
we're supposed to get the JFK stuff. We're supposed to get the RFK stuff. We're supposed to get the
00:32:48.520
MLK stuff. And I mean, Alex, do you think we're actually going to get these disclosures or do
00:32:52.880
you think the can keeps getting kicked down the road? Well, you know, it's very simple. I think
00:32:57.280
we know what's going to happen. If you look at the, uh, nine 11 commission report, for example,
00:33:00.580
you know, that's the official story, but there's still 28 pages redacted. And, you know, they say
00:33:04.300
that, you know, maybe it implicates Saudi Arabia. So like they can give us the official story,
00:33:08.220
but they're still going to redact something, you know? So there's no way that they're going to ever
00:33:12.240
let us know the actual truth. Like all of them. Yeah. I mean, it's just, it is what it is. And really,
00:33:16.900
you know, I think we'd all like government transparency, but let's just be real. You
00:33:21.840
have classified levels of information. That's just not a realistic way to run a government.
00:33:27.020
They have to kind of keep us citizens in the dark. Is that good? No, but that's just the way it
00:33:31.720
works. I have been in those classified briefings and everybody thinks it's like Jack Bauer and it's
00:33:37.160
way more the office. Really? Yeah. But, but I mean, well, I, I know, but you can always say so much,
00:33:44.580
but like in a classified meeting, I mean, if you, you know, the levels of security in that,
00:33:49.040
like, what is the highest level of meeting you can go to? Because obviously Donald Trump, when,
00:33:53.940
like, when it comes to, and I go back to nine 11, you know, when, when George Bush says he was
00:33:58.200
briefed by the highest, you know, military executives that Osama bin Laden was, you know,
00:34:02.480
planning to fly planes, like what type of classification is that meeting? Like,
00:34:05.820
what is that compared to what a congressman goes to and levels of classification?
00:34:09.200
Every member of Congress, uh, who, you know, by virtue of their election has TSSCI. So top secret
00:34:17.520
special compartmentalized information. So that's, that's even a, you're, you're above top secret.
00:34:22.720
If you are a member of Congress, then the level right above that, that you only get, if you're
00:34:28.540
on the armed services committee, as I was, or the appropriations committee, where you have to
00:34:33.460
know each of these buckets, you get the special access programs. So there were times where I would
00:34:38.600
get special access programs clearance on a particular weapon system that, that we had to
00:34:44.140
make a authorization on. And then of course, above that, you know, you get the, the special coding
00:34:50.920
that the intelligence committee, uh, you get the, uh, the five eyes or I'm sorry, not five eyes. You
00:34:56.160
get the gang of eight intelligence, which is above special access programs. And they, you know,
00:35:00.600
the intelligence community usually has pretty strong control over a lot of the people, the more they
00:35:05.380
rise up on that ladder. Um, I did want to ask you about something else. Part of the big drama on
00:35:09.980
Capitol Hill today was mayor Eric Adams at the hearing with the other sanctuary city mayors.
00:35:16.580
You're reading my mind. I wanted to bring that up. So I'm watching this and I'm just thinking
00:35:20.400
what a delightful little tight rope. Eric Adams is walking here with, you know, the sort of Damocles
00:35:27.920
hanging over with the potential federal charges, but then also having the, the left after him.
00:35:32.900
Uh, I want to get everybody's take, but Vish is a New Yorker. So Vish, did you, uh, did you see a
00:35:38.020
mayor who was squirming or owning it? I think he was squirming. Uh, I think he was trying very much
00:35:43.720
to satisfy the, you know, the Trump bad man and the Republicans there and everyone there who's
00:35:51.520
watching from our end, but he was also trying not to provide bad content that could be used against
00:35:58.520
him in his primary that he's running right now from the left. Right. And so he was trying his
00:36:04.060
best to say, Hey, New York city is a city of immigrants built, but you know, as a city of
00:36:09.300
immigrants essentially. And we stand with those people, but you know, these illegal immigrants
0.99
00:36:14.240
and the crime and everything else, that's what we're really focusing on. He tried to be really
00:36:18.720
precise. And I think he did a good job at that. Um, but I don't envy his position. He was, he was
00:36:24.400
squirming all over that. Uh, you could kind of see, yeah, he didn't act as nasty as some of the
00:36:28.200
other ones that tried to throw stuff back. Like, um, Brandon from Chicago, uh, the clown from Denver,
0.66
00:36:36.260
they would throw stuff. Yep. Yep. Woo from Boston. They would throw stuff back and be like, well,
0.72
00:36:40.320
you know, Abbott sent people to our city. So that's why this, this, or Biden did this. So this is why we
00:36:46.200
did this. They were trying to excuse themselves. And Eric was a little more like, yeah, we spent $6
00:36:51.200
billion because we had no choice. Yeah, you did. But when you invite this by saying your sanctuary,
00:36:58.000
which he did years ago, he didn't start standing up and saying no more of this until like, what,
00:37:02.560
about a year ago. And that's when, oh, the investigation started when the Democrats started
00:37:06.220
hating on him, when he's finally started speaking out about something he helped to cause because he
00:37:12.260
was bragging that New York was sanctuary just a few years ago, just like Brandon, like his predecessor,
00:37:18.000
Beetlejuice's ugly offspring. What's her name? That was, uh, before Brandon,
00:37:22.000
Lori Lightfoot, thank you. Yes. That was like Beetlejuice and buckwheat had a kid. Um,
00:37:26.880
so all these mayors that are out there, is that a good analogy? Think about it. Put it in your head.
00:37:31.280
A little dated. Put it in your head. Does it not look like, come on, um, a little dated,
00:37:36.860
but I don't give a shit. It's the truth. Look at her. My God, it was scary to look at her
0.99
00:37:40.980
every day at those press conferences. All right. I need the Alex Stein take on Mayor Adams on Capitol
00:37:45.360
Hill. Well, real quick, I don't want to go on too long of a diatribe, but I am now 100% team Eric
00:37:52.360
Adams. And you know, the fact that he goes to nightclubs and all that stuff, I think that's
00:37:55.540
kind of cool. Now, now it looks kind of cool. And it's not just because now he is supporting Trump,
00:37:59.420
but listen, I go and you know, how did I get well known? Well, I started going to public meetings
00:38:03.520
and Matt, I would speak serious and then like, they wouldn't pay attention. But then all of a sudden,
00:38:07.340
I started like freestyle rapping and talking about, you know, just talking about crazy,
00:38:11.080
weird stuff and I would get their attention. But I recently went to New York city and I had
00:38:15.180
this video go viral as a veterans commission. And they're talking about how they needed more
00:38:18.840
funding for better lighting for, because the fluorescent lighting inside the homeless shelter
00:38:24.360
in New York city was, you know, the conditions were bad. And so I just went up there and basically
00:38:29.340
ranted about how it's ridiculous, how you can be a Venezuelan gang member, but then claim asylum
00:38:33.740
and you get to stay in a four-star hotel in the middle of Manhattan, you know, at the Roosevelt
00:38:38.100
hotel, literally. And you get a gift card because they don't even make the right food. So this,
00:38:41.520
this video got millions of views in two days. And this just happened last month.
00:38:45.620
Not only did I hear from, uh, the councilman that was running the meeting, uh, but I also heard
00:38:50.500
that that following Monday, I was part of the catalyst that got Eric Adams to say that he was
00:38:55.840
kicking out the immigrants from the Roosevelt hotel. And I'm not trying to pat myself on the
0.80
00:38:59.420
back, even though I'm 100% I am patting myself on the back. And what I'm saying is I think mayor
00:39:03.360
Adams is trying to be intellectually honest, a lot more so than a lot of other politicians.
00:39:07.900
You know, it is hard to kind of, now you're going to say, Oh, he's probably, you know,
00:39:12.460
capitulating to MAGA, but I think he's actually trying to be intellectually honest and realizing
00:39:16.200
that this is too many immigrants and it doesn't matter how progressive we are.
1.00
00:39:20.880
No way. This is intellectual honesty. This is a guy feeling the pinch.
00:39:24.440
You don't think, you don't think, well, but I'm saying, you don't think that he tried it.
0.92
00:39:31.200
Dude, did you see his press conference after he had charges? It looked like one of the scenes from
00:39:34.980
the movie coming to America. That's why you're so funny. And then his tie, you can tell the
00:39:39.700
more stressed out he is because the looser his tie is. He just looks disheveled. But listen,
00:39:43.380
that's kind of why I like him. I like a guy that's not perfect. And that's what Eric,
00:39:46.820
hold on. If you like guys who are not perfect running for New York city mayor, we have a new
00:39:51.880
governor. Mr. Nipple ring. Mr. Nipple ring. Yes. He has the nipple rings.
00:39:57.440
So if one guy goes out to nightclubs and the other one does nipple rings and strip poker at staff
0.95
00:40:02.060
meetings, where does that fall on the Alex Stein on the Alex Stein balance?
00:40:06.920
I mean, I'm okay. The libertarian in me, you know what? Let your freak flag fly, to be honest.
00:40:12.020
And they're all freaks. You know, I'm not going to be here. I'm not going to be one to judge.
00:40:15.820
But like I said, we are right with it with Eric Adams. I think he actually is being a little more
00:40:20.160
honest. Like he tried his progressive values and he's just seen how much they have failed.
00:40:25.280
Like, don't you realize this? The best thing for Donald Trump is that Joe Biden was able to steal
00:40:29.700
that election and get four years, because now we actually have perspective and a compare and
00:40:33.520
contrast to see how effective he truly is. Like, wouldn't you agree with that though, Matt, that
00:40:38.240
it felt like it was a terrible thing, but in the end, it was the best thing.
00:40:41.420
If you extend that analogy was the greatest thing for governor Cuomo getting, having to resign, uh,
00:40:46.820
under his allegations to know for killing. No, no, no, no, no, no. How'd that work out in New York?
00:40:52.300
I knew it then. It was only going to go left. As soon as Andrew Cuomo was gone,
00:40:56.920
it was only going to go left. It's the same thing that's going to happen with Adams. If Adams is
00:41:01.360
gone, uh, Cuomo now that he's in the, in the mix, maybe, uh, you know, with his return, he can
00:41:08.760
moderate some of the party. Uh, but that is, you know, it's, it's a very, it's a moonshot
00:41:16.140
practically. Are people already accept him back? I mean, they always say in politics, if you apologize
00:41:19.820
and it's meaningful, the American people are gracious people. We will forgive you and we'll bring you
00:41:25.300
back. Apologized. Right. I'm saying if he does, will the voters bring him back? Do you think?
00:41:30.120
I think, I think right now, I believe he's pulling the best out of, out of the entire field. And
00:41:34.600
you know, New York is better than me. I think, look, people do remember Cuomo as being, uh, you know,
00:41:39.780
as a good administrator, as someone who can actually run the government and, and people are just
00:41:46.160
desperate in New York to see that back, whether that's on a local level or a state level, they just
00:41:51.560
want to see good governance again. Cuomo's name, you know, plus his father's name. Yeah. It's,
00:41:58.360
he has all the name ID. Uh, he has the experience. Um, he's all, he built a brand off of good
00:42:04.320
governance. Basically. He also, the re you know, New York state had the longest on the East, uh, in the
00:42:13.700
Northeast had the, had a Republican state Senate up until 2018, essentially. Right. Like it was the
00:42:21.220
last bastion. And the reason was because of, um, Andrew Cuomo getting these 10 like middle,
00:42:29.000
real middle of the road Democrats to do this like independent caucus thing where they would
0.77
00:42:34.440
go and caucus, these 10 guys would go and caucus with the Republicans. And that's how he kept
00:42:39.120
the progressive Democrats at bay for in New York for, for that long. And once those 10 were
00:42:47.860
removed essentially, or they were primary gone, gone. And in 2018, it flipped, uh, to full Democrats.
00:42:55.920
And then you ended up with, uh, Andrea Stewart cousins as the state Senate leader. And she's the
0.99
00:43:01.280
real bad deal, right? All the bad legislation, the bail reform, everything is from, is from that move.
00:43:08.580
And so that's when the state Senate fell that it started. And then they all once, and then they
00:43:14.720
all started aiming at Cuomo because they knew he was the last limiting factor to the full progressive
00:43:20.500
takeover of New York. So do you think this was coming up in the podcast, a lot that I was watching.
00:43:26.980
I told you before I came up, which is Gavin Newsom's new podcast that our friend, Charlie Kirk was on
00:43:31.060
and Charlie was giving him advice. Cause he asked for advice on how the Democrat party
00:43:35.700
can make a comeback because even Gavin sees it. They're in deep, deep trouble right now.
00:43:39.940
And that was part of the discussion was you guys have allowed the radical progressive wing of the
00:43:45.100
Democrat party to take over. And so anybody that's common sense anymore on that side does not have
00:43:50.620
a seat at the table within their party. And if you do, they're going to yank the chair out from
00:43:54.520
underneath you. They don't want you anymore because it was interesting watching Gavin who we know,
00:43:58.620
and I've been in this state, even though I'm a Buckeye, I've been in California a long time.
00:44:01.480
We've watched this guy with his slick hair say nice, sweet little things, try to play both sides.
00:44:06.720
But in the last few years, his agenda and the Democrats agenda in Sacramento has gone wildly
00:44:12.660
and radically, extremely liberal to the left. But in this podcast, he was agreeing with Charlie
00:44:17.560
and everything and being like, yeah, yeah, no, I see your point. Yeah. That's bad of the party.
00:44:20.640
Yeah. The party shouldn't have that. Well, yeah, that's, that is crazy. Yeah. That's going too far
00:44:23.800
even with, and today, this is the big thing with this podcast out that the Democrats can't believe
00:44:29.440
that he sided with Charlie on the transgender issue, that he said it was unfair. Oh, it's
0.98
00:44:34.420
completely unfair. I mean, I got my start in playing baseball in college, so I get the sports
00:44:38.320
thing and it's completely unfair. And now the left, once again, are doing what they do. They're
00:44:43.820
going to eat one of their own, one of their top guys that they think is going to be their
00:44:46.920
presidential candidate in 28. And because he agreed, he agreed and said, it's unfair. They're
00:44:53.420
literally right now on the air, destroying him. If you switch, don't switch now, but watch some of the
00:44:58.500
radical liberals out there and not so radical. And they're chewing up Gavin for simply saying
00:45:02.920
something common sense that boys don't belong in girls sports. It's unfair. All right. I think
1.00
00:45:09.260
he's saying that mostly because he's a sociopath and will say as opposed to actually believing in
00:45:15.260
him being a sociopath is my favorite part about him. So, but, but Alex, my theory is this. There is
00:45:20.860
no way the democratic party in 2028 can nominate a straight white guy to run for president. Even if he
00:45:27.560
looks like Gavin Newsom, his, he has to go trans or gay.
0.93
00:45:32.820
Well, I think that that's the, well, Matt, no, I like that, but I think that's the opposite. It's
0.88
00:45:37.000
like they give them what they don't want. Right. I mean, Joe Biden would be the oldest and the
00:45:41.400
whitest guy ever. And he's on tape saying the N word.
00:45:44.040
And then he's a nominee. Well, I'm saying he's a nominee. And then they, they put up Kamala who
00:45:48.440
is ethnically ambiguous. We don't know if she's black Indian. We don't know what she is. I mean,
00:45:52.160
she's like the perfect progressive candidate, you know, and she just, she goes up there and,
00:45:56.380
you know, craps the bed, excuse me. I don't know if we can cuss or I, you know, I'm just
00:45:59.920
saying she couldn't have been a worse candidate. She's the bed. So I think they're going to go
0.98
00:46:05.100
back to the white guy. I think they're going to go back to the well, because that's what
00:46:08.120
they think is the most presentable. And I love this podcast. I just loved hearing Gavin Newsom
00:46:12.600
have to say, and if he was being honest, you know, that's, I applaud him that his son is a
00:46:17.420
huge fan of Charlie Kirk. That just makes me think that, that just makes me think that
00:46:21.500
and his son is the son of the governor living in California, used to be the coolest state.
00:46:26.620
So that means now officially young kids feel like it's cool to be conservative. It's cool
00:46:30.740
to go on campuses and not be podcast saying, I'm going to talk to only Republicans. I'm going
00:46:35.140
to launch this podcast to reach across and talk to the opposite side to find out what went so wrong
00:46:40.300
in 24. Yeah, that's why you're doing it, Gavin. It's a cope. It's a total cope.
00:46:46.940
Well, I think, no, this is Gavin trying his best to look cool with his kid again.
00:46:52.260
Oh, that's the impetus. I think look good to continue his political career.
00:46:56.060
He says, oh, my son is a big Charlie Kirk fan. That's the signal, right? That's that. He's
00:47:02.480
like, oh man, like I'm the governor of California, Democrat superstar who possibly has a chance to
00:47:10.340
be president. And my son is like, no, that guy's cooler. Yeah. Right. My daughter, 17.
00:47:16.140
Why? If you're honest, you want to, you want to find that. That's why he's doing that to find
00:47:21.020
out. Why? How did you people touch my son? What would have happened if, if Gavin? Well,
00:47:25.460
there's a fan of Alex Stein. He might be, let's be glad. He's only a fan of Charlie Kirk. I can't
00:47:31.360
wait to see his goodness. Well, no Mitch little, you know, Texas rep here. I was recently at an event
00:47:36.860
with him and his son came up to me and his, uh, Mitch little is like, yeah, thank you for introducing
00:47:41.220
my son to big booty Latina. So yes, he does not. Gavin Newsom is thinking his lucky star is that
1.00
00:47:46.000
his son is not a fan of mine. You are a, you're a star when it comes to the, the young folks out
00:47:51.460
there. I mean, the young disaffected male. Look, that's the, the Alex Stein audience is that there's
00:47:56.660
a bunch of men in this country who feel like the world is working against them. They got nobody that
00:48:01.700
speaks out to him. And Alex taps into a certain type of humor that is sarcastic and performative
00:48:07.180
and, and, well, he taught me people in, we started putting you on the show. When did you
00:48:11.620
like not launch your show? Cause we had you on before that. When did the video start going viral
00:48:15.980
of you doing the, the phrase you taught me? Cause I didn't know this phrase. I'll admit it. I'm an
00:48:21.100
old guy. Culture jamming. Cause I called Alex a couple of years ago and said, come on my new show
00:48:26.360
on OAN. I love your videos at these city council meetings, acting like a complete boob, showing how
00:48:31.820
stupid the radical liberal agenda is. And he goes, yeah, Dan, it's called culture jamming. I just throw
1.00
00:48:36.340
their idiocy back in their faces. And I'm like, holy shit. Why didn't I think of this stuff?
1.00
00:48:40.080
And damn, culture jamming was about jams and jellies and canneries. I knew it wasn't that,
0.98
00:48:44.480
but this is, it's a great way to do it. Others do it different ways. Alex was one of the ones that
00:48:48.960
really seized on it first. Did you look at other people doing things and then kind of create your
00:48:54.300
own style or where did you go? Hey, this is what I'm going to do as far as culture, Jim. I'm going to
00:48:58.600
go to these council meetings and make a damn scene. Well, it's funny that you say that it's a long story
0.99
00:49:03.680
short. So you guys will like this. So I used to work for over eight years. You guys ever watch
00:49:08.900
the show and you guys all have seen it called cheaters where we catch people cheating on their
00:49:12.740
husbands and wives. The guy got stabbed, Joey. So I used to be the host of that show. Yeah,
00:49:17.660
I was a producer. I'm excuse me. I was a producer, not the host, but they, what happened was this guy
00:49:21.620
by the name of Clark Gable. He's a grandson of the actual Clark Gable from gone with the wind.
00:49:25.260
My very good friend. He had a prescription for pain pills for a doctor in California, ran out of the
00:49:30.160
pain pills. And this is when we were filming the last season and Clark, when I say this,
00:49:33.780
you guys know people that party, but Clark was like the biggest party animal. I mean,
00:49:36.940
like he would stay up because his dad was Clark Gable's son and his grandfather, the famous actor
00:49:41.820
was, you know, God rest his soul, alcoholic party animal. So it's, you know, it's just, it's kind of
00:49:46.060
a long line. He was like the ultimate party animal. See, I've never known somebody who's really
00:49:50.260
into painkillers and a party animal. They're usually like really into Uber eats if they're into
00:49:56.200
pain. Well, I know, I know, but it sounds like it, but he wasn't, that's what I'm saying.
00:49:59.700
What's funny, you say that because he wasn't the type of guy, like I knew people that did
00:50:02.680
oxys or whatever. And like, we're all, he wasn't that type of pain pill guy. He was just the type
00:50:06.220
of guy that would take a pain pill. Cause he was hung over the type of guy that would take
00:50:09.040
a Xanax. Cause he, he just, he was a wild guy, but he held it all together pretty well. Believe
00:50:13.860
it or not, ran out of these pills, uh, called, you know, a dealer or something, got pills that had
00:50:19.500
fentanyl on them. They were what he thought he would, didn't think he was taking fentanyl. He thought
00:50:22.180
he was taking like a Vicodin or whatever, you know, a hydrocodone, whatever he took
00:50:25.980
died, literally didn't wake up. The guy that owns a production company was so sad. I was like,
00:50:31.700
in this weird time, he's like, Alex, you've been producing the show. I want to make you the host
00:50:35.500
of it now. Cause you know, you know it. And I could host it. You know, I just, I was literally,
00:50:39.120
there was four producers. I was one of the main producers, you know, and then there was an
00:50:42.600
executive producer above me, but I was like, this is such a good opportunity. I was finally going to
00:50:46.360
start making, I was making good money, but I was going to make double what I was making as a
00:50:50.060
producer. And right when we were going to start filming, we had this guy by the name of Peter
00:50:56.260
Guns and he's a black dude. He has that song Uptown Girl. You guys have all heard it. I can't
1.00
00:51:00.640
think of it off the top of my head, but it's a, he's a famous rapper. They hired him to be the host
00:51:04.840
and they said, Alex, you're just going to be, if you want to stay, you know, you can just be a
00:51:08.140
producer. And I wasn't mad at this guy, but this is how I know it was a DEI pick because the show's
00:51:13.720
never had a black host. And the company that distributed is called the Viacom. They own
0.53
00:51:19.480
VH1, CMT, MTV. Yeah. And they made Peter Pankey change his name. Excuse me. His name was Peter
00:51:26.280
Guns. They made him change his name from Peter Guns to Peter Pankey because they didn't want to
00:51:29.540
glamorize gun violence. So, and the guy that owns a production company is like, you know,
00:51:33.280
we just want to try a black host. There's nothing against you. And I don't fault the host for taking
00:51:37.660
the job. He's actually a nice guy. I worked on for one more episode before I quit. And that's when I
00:51:42.040
started my own podcast. And when I started podcasting, this is like right kind of at the beginning of
00:51:46.180
the pandemic, I'm talking about stuff. And I started to go to city council meetings. And
00:51:49.940
when I went to these meetings, I spoke seriously. I'm like, why are you locking us down? You know,
00:51:53.660
I can't even go to the public park. The restrooms are closed down. It's just I'm peeing outside. It
00:51:58.140
just makes no sense. How is this? Literally, I mean, they closed down the bathrooms. You couldn't
00:52:02.240
even go to the bathroom and exercise during the pandemic. I don't understand how that's healthy,
00:52:05.540
but, and these are outdoor bathrooms, right? They closed down outdoor bathrooms. They don't
00:52:08.860
even have a roof on the bathroom. You can't go pee in there. Long story short, they didn't give
00:52:13.180
a damn. They didn't give two shits. I was going there being serious. But as soon as I started,
0.99
00:52:17.940
and I culture jam is just kind of a, you know, decorative word because I didn't know what else
00:52:21.160
to call it. But I had a video, my first real video that went viral. And it was actually Charlie
00:52:25.620
Kirk, who now I'm working for turning points. It's kind of full circle. But I went up there and
00:52:30.020
it was right after they passed the Texas heartbeat bill. And I went up there and I was like, I love
00:52:34.560
abortion. It's my favorite form of contraception. You know, I was like, I can just, you know,
00:52:38.460
don't have to wear condoms. I have a, you know, I'm going on a Caribbean cruise. I need this girl to get
1.00
00:52:43.000
an abortion before I go on it. Like I was just so repugnant, but I was dead serious. Yeah. And
0.99
00:52:48.320
all these conservatives, Charlie Kirk being the first one, look how disgusting everybody thought
00:52:53.100
it was real. And that's when the light bulb went off. I'm like, that's how you get somebody's
00:52:56.960
attention. That's if you act serious and you kind of just, like I said, I was so pro abortion.
00:53:01.700
People were like, what is this? But really, I wasn't saying anything different than what you're
00:53:06.140
hearing. I went to Kamala Harris's rally, the one that Beyonce screwed everybody over on. I had never
00:53:11.500
seen more pro abortion literature and every single sign was reproductive rights. Every video in
00:53:19.200
between speakers was Donald Trump once in your uterus. So the way they talk about abortion,
00:53:23.700
they try to kind of, you know, present it in this uncallous way and they call it reproductive rights
00:53:28.360
and this and that. But really, obviously it is abortion. It's murder. And I just did that speech
00:53:32.860
being very deadpan. Oh, I love abortion. And it blew up. And that's really, that's a change.
00:53:37.980
It is a high end form of comedy. Where can folks continue to watch your work? And then
00:53:43.060
we'll have to get out of here, Alex. All right, guys, thank you for having me. It's always a
00:53:47.000
