The Anchormen Show with Matt Gaetz - Anchormen with Matt Gaetz & Dan Ball ｜ Episode 6

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

00:02:24.960 or every day, it's got to get charged up.

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.

00:04:58.560 They did the same into Trump though.

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.

00:05:19.100 Yes. Bashing them, smashing the windows.

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.

00:11:21.160 I know.

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.

00:12:19.400 I don't know if they've ever passed an audit.

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.

00:17:18.500 You know what? I'm okay.

00:17:19.540 BLM gal. 0.95

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

00:17:44.620 Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin.

00:17:46.680 Yeah. The cop.

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

00:18:46.260 to you?

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,

00:19:00.160 um, what did he get? Second degree?

00:19:02.860 Something like that.

00:19:03.380 Not first, but it's state. It's not federal. So a president can't pardon you. It would

00:19:06.520 have to come from the governor.

00:19:07.480 That's right.

00:19:07.820 I was asking the question more.

00:19:09.640 That's not happening.

00:19:10.460 More philosophical.

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

00:19:20.980 in his system.

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-

00:19:48.180 We know that kills people instantly.

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

00:39:20.100 We can't support him.

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

00:39:27.380 I'm saying in his mind, he's this black guy.

00:39:28.880 I think to get himself out of trouble.

00:39:29.720 He wants to help people.

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
