Orin and Rocky talk about Bud Light and their response to the recent mass shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, and how they should be held accountable for the response. Also, they talk about the fact that the White House and the media were quick to praise the shooter and the community to which he belonged.
00:00:45.880But apparently this is going to be the thing that we're going to talk about.
00:00:49.340Six people, three children, were killed at a Christian school by transgenderists.
00:00:57.160Another transgenderist shooter was planning a massacre, targeting both a middle school and churches.
00:01:06.040The government, the White House, immediately jumped in and basically praised the shooter and the community to which the shooter belonged.
00:01:16.260Talking about how fierce they were and how they were going to fight back.
00:01:20.440The media immediately jumped in and said, oh, yeah, we support not the dead children.
00:01:26.940Not the community in Nashville where they were shot, not the Christian community that was clearly targeted as a hate crime.
00:01:36.380Not once, but apparently multiple times because there was another shooter who got caught.
00:01:41.500And if they hadn't, there would have been a second massacre specifically targeting Christians by a transgender shooter.
00:01:48.760But we're going to support, not the Christians, the transgenderists, okay?
00:01:54.760And the only thing, the only thing that the right can hold accountable in all of this, it's not the White House, it's not Joe Biden's ridiculous speech about how transgender kids are shaping the soul of our nation.
00:02:12.040It's not the insane rhetoric that came out of the White House spokesman.
00:02:18.680It's not the insane way that the media was able to jump in and defend all of this stuff.
00:02:25.300It's not Madonna going to Nashville and pledging a concert in Nashville to raise money for the LGBTQ community, not Christians who were just slaughtered.
00:02:35.300But no, none of that's going to get held accountable.
00:02:38.480What are we going to get held accountable?
00:03:39.280They were just willing to take it to the next level and push forward with it, even though children had just been killed in the name of this ideology,
00:03:48.320even though the media and the White House were mocking dead children and their parents and the other staff members and volunteers and people who were killed at a school,
00:03:58.780even though another school and multiple churches were about to be targeted by another transgender shooter.
00:04:05.880Continue to push forward with this stuff, right?
00:04:08.220And finally, I guess, conservatives decided to do something.
00:04:14.320So, I guess, credit to the right for once, something happened, right?
00:04:19.340Something stupid, probably the worst possible point of pushback, but something happened, right?
00:04:25.560A corporation that ignored all of these travesties and all of this violence was in some way punished because Kid Rock and other celebrities pushed back, country music stars, people started not buying the beer,
00:04:39.680they started advertising boycotts, and good, you know, good, don't buy this swell, don't buy this stuff from these people.
00:04:46.220But, of course, Bud Light comes out, or Budweiser, whatever, and they put out some statement saying,
00:04:54.660well, we're for everybody, we're everybody's beer, and conservatives start celebrating, this is a victory.
00:05:01.560No, it's not. This is not a victory. This is even close to victory. This isn't even a very basic step forward, okay?
00:05:10.180The statement put out by Budweiser had no apology in it. It had no recognition of why what they did was in bad taste.
00:05:20.280It had no recognition of why them doubling down on wokeness in the wake of children murdered due to woke ideology and the hatred that it engenders.
00:05:31.020They had no acknowledgement of any of that in their statement. Their statement was just, we're for everybody, we're everybody's beer.
00:05:36.440Well, no, you're not. Like, you're very clearly motivated by wokeness.
00:05:42.600We understand this. We understand that your leaders inside the company were pushing this agenda.

00:06:04.680And they're, oh, we're going to get back to this. We're going to get back to good old American values and beer.
00:06:10.700Again, no, they're not, because they weren't before. And they're going to continue doing what they're doing anyway.
00:06:15.920So their statement is a non-statement. It's a non-apology. And it's the kind of stuff that the right followers falls for all the time.
00:06:22.080Oh, look, some company made a very, very, very, very, very slight head fake towards some type of contrition on an issue.
00:06:31.500Guess we won. Pack it up. Go home. No, you didn't. You got nothing. Okay.
00:06:36.700Not only because the statement is empty and doesn't even have an apology in it.
00:06:40.340So you're just, you're just a goof. You're just, you're just a rube staring at this kind of statement and saying, oh, this is a victory for me.
00:06:48.360No, it's a, it's a, it's an empty gesture that doesn't even apologize or acknowledge what was done wrong.
00:06:55.500It's just a slight head fake to say, hey, we really need Red America to keep buying our beer. Right.
00:07:02.060But even if it was, even if it was a statement of deep contrition, even if it did directly acknowledge that children were murdered and that they were murdered because of beliefs surrounding this ideology, this ideology that the beer company is now promoting.
00:07:18.460Even if that was the case, even if they directly came out and say, we support the victims and their families, and we understand why it was such an horrific bad taste to go forward with this marketing campaign in the face of this tragedy.
00:07:31.440Even if they did all that and said it explicitly, that's still not a victory because, because that's not what victory looks like.
00:07:37.980Okay. The right needs to understand what victory looks like in a culture war scenario.
00:07:44.020What does a victory look like? It's not a statement.
00:07:47.620Statements are easy. Statements are cheap. They're hollow.
00:07:54.200Victory looks like what the left gets.
00:07:56.360Victory looks like your friends are hired and your enemies are fired.
00:08:02.100Oh, you're, you can't tell a company to do that.
00:08:04.320Yes, I can. Left does it all the time and they do it successfully and they win.
00:08:08.380When the left wins on a cultural issue, when they force a company to heal, all the people who disagree with them get fired from that company and all of their friends get hired.
00:08:17.620Because the left understands patronage. They understand benefiting.
00:08:23.000They understand that activists don't work for free.
00:08:26.040They understand that if you want people to know you mean business, then things change when you win.
00:08:32.700It's not an empty piece of paper somewhere.
00:08:34.660It's not some statement on a website that disappears and vanishes a moment later and everything goes right back to the way it was.
00:08:42.860And you're not going to get meaningful social change out of Budweiser.
00:08:45.820But if you're going to fight this fight, if this is the one we're going to go for, if this is the one that you're going to win, then do something meaningful.
00:09:02.440That means scholarships are founded in the name of the families who are targeted by this.
00:09:09.100Or it means that relief funds are set up for them.
00:09:13.420It means that money is donated to the school that was targeted.
00:09:17.320It means that people who were attacked are taken care of in the way they should have been taken care of in the first place instead of having fundraisers for the community that is putting out this ideology in the first place.
00:09:34.380Friends, friends, hired, enemies, fired, money in the patronage network.
00:09:40.980They put people through re-education because that's what corporations do.
00:09:45.120If you're in a corporation, you know that's true right now because you have to undergo re-education all the time.
00:09:50.780You have to sit down for all these HR seminars where you learn about the evils of racism and your whiteness and sexual harassment and not using the right pronouns and all of this stuff.
00:10:40.840It is the most ridiculous thing to come out of everything that has happened.
00:10:44.400And I think it probably distracts everyone from the true tragedy, the true victims, and the true danger of what's happening right now.
00:10:52.140But if you're going to fight this fight, at least know what victory looks like.
00:10:56.420Victory looks like what the left gets.
00:10:59.880Victory looks like your friends are hired, your enemies are fired, money goes to your patronage network, and the corporation makes sure that none of their employees ever, ever, ever crosses the line with your group again.
00:11:22.420It takes the willingness to get out there with lawsuits and all kinds of other things that the right is just simply not equipped to do at the moment.
00:11:30.160So maybe you don't have the infrastructure to take it to that level with Budweiser right now.
