00:01:34.000I will tell you, Parker Sig, the Executive Vice President over Real America's Voice, is going to join us.
00:01:40.000Right now, along with Jack Pasobic, both from the East Coast.
00:01:43.000So, we're going coast to coast here, gentlemen.
00:01:46.000And when I say life is full of surprises, Parker Sig, I can only imagine that you have internalized that in a very deep and profound way.
00:01:55.000Right now, in this very moment, the pool feed for the White House, the most important, powerful office in the land, in all the world, is being supplied by our friends here at this amazing network.
00:02:09.000Parker Sig, why don't you tell us about this?
00:02:47.000And I think it'll open the eyes of a lot of people, both in the media and in the public, that free press is still alive and well.
00:02:57.000And people like Real America's Voice are ready to carry that torch across the finish line.
00:03:02.000And so, how this came about, you know, kind of honestly, it kind of came about the same way it did for a lot of people, a little bit by surprise.
00:03:12.000You know, it really started out with a late middle of the night phone call for a last minute request.
00:03:18.000To deploy resources over to New York traveling with the president.
00:03:24.000And of course, as we always do, RAV is ready to go at a moment's notice.
00:03:31.000We deployed a camera operator, a correspondent to DC, got him in place to get on the plane with the president and travel and do exactly what we do best, which is provide full and complete, unfeathered coverage of the president and everything that he and this administration does.
00:03:53.000Excellent, excellent job at doing that so far.
00:03:57.000And the last 24, 48 hours for me has been a little bit of a whirlwind.
00:04:02.000Tons of calls from media and other individuals, not only asking for, like you just did, the story behind what's happening and how this happened, but then asking for what's next and how do we get access to this coverage, to these feeds.
00:04:19.000Because as we've said publicly and will continue to say and hold up, our goal here is to make sure that we can provide constant, Unadulterated coverage of everything that the president and this administration is doing through the truthful lens.
00:04:44.000And I think we've been prepared to do this since day one.
00:04:48.000We have the infrastructure in order to do it, we have the personnel in order to do it.
00:04:53.000I think we all kind of knew there was a moment in time as President Trump got back into the White House that this was kind of a ticking time bomb, so to speak.
00:05:04.000With the mainstream media and the admin, and then obviously the components of the independent media.
00:06:16.000Well, so what's going on here, Andrew, is that what Parker's done and what Real Marker's Voice have done is so phenomenal because what it's done is show that the mainstream media cartel doesn't have the leverage that they used to have over the White House.
00:06:31.000If you go back 30 years ago, the 1990s, and I've seen a number of people who are sort of from that dinosaur era of the blockbuster video era, if you will, of media, where they think that.
00:06:44.000Broadcast TV is the only way that people can get their news out and newspapers and all the rest.
00:06:51.000They don't seem to understand that new media has the ability to completely disintermediate their power and their leverage.
00:06:57.000That's why the cartelization of these groups, the control access to the White House and specifically the White House pool, which is a smaller pool, and they're playing a lot of nomenclature games, a smaller pool of people.
00:07:09.000Those are the ones that get to have access to the president, to cabinet members, to the vice president, to be able to ask questions.
00:07:15.000And of course, we saw this under Caroline Levitt and Trump's.
00:07:18.000New White House coming in is specifically in the second term, although they were good in the first term.
00:07:22.000The second term created that new media seat, which, of course, I've been honored to be utilized in many times to go along with the president on a variety of these trips.
00:07:33.000I wasn't in the pool on that, but I was covering it on Monday.
00:07:38.000And the idea that they would drop this coverage, which is in the public interest, the public has a right to know what the president is doing when he's meeting with Zelensky, and Rav covered that.
00:07:47.000The public has a right to see what the president says when he's going to meet Xi Jinping.
00:07:51.000This very evening at Andrews Air Force Base, and Rav is going to cover that as well.
00:07:56.000Anything the president's doing, if it's open to the press, the public has a right to know.
00:08:02.000And the media, this is how the broadcast networks had so much leverage over past administrations because they could say, we'll cut you off.
00:08:10.000We'll cut off your ability to talk to the public.
00:08:13.000Well, now with the rise of new media, whether it be social media, whether it be podcasts, of course, like this show and what Rav does in terms of distribution has shown that not only do we have other abilities, but in fact, we can do your job just as good.
00:08:26.000Honestly, I would even go so far as to say a little bit better because I think the color, the lighting on our shots are just a little bit more dialed in than what CNN was doing.
00:08:36.000Parker, just a super big hat tip to you guys and your team.
00:08:39.000I was going back and forth with a bunch of content creators, influencers, people with big accounts, and they're like, man, watching President Trump get off of the helicopter, for example, the framing is better, the lighting is better, it's more dramatic.
00:08:53.000The real truth is, I had this thought because it was the 9 11 anniversary, so we were all watching old clips.
00:08:58.000I was looking at CNN from 25 years ago and accounting for obviously the improvement of camera technology.
00:09:04.000CNN was so better, they got totally ruined.
00:09:06.000By Trump, because he fried their brain.
00:09:08.000He made it, you're watching this extremely angry broadcast all the time, and the people who make their Chirons are angry, the people who set up their camera shots are angry.
00:09:17.000It's, yeah, there used to be a sense of gravitas and awe that was approached with these pool feeds.
00:09:23.000Jack, I wanted to have you on because you've been so good about championing the way that Parker and the team have stepped into the void, stepped into the breach, and just taken this on, and they've done an amazing job.
00:09:35.000But Parker, what we were just talking about with Jack, the beauty of the shots.
00:09:40.000It seems like it's already, I can see that it's like this is being done by people that have a respect for the office.
00:09:57.000Is that something you guys talked about specifically or is that just happening organically?
00:10:01.000Well, look, I think there's a lot of it that's organic just because of the culture that we have built into this ecosystem and the people that we choose to employ here and bring a part of our team.
00:10:13.000But it's definitely a part of the conversation.
00:10:15.000I mean, everybody who works with RAV and for RAV and is inside of this ecosystem is so profoundly dedicated to the mission and the cause and care about the product that we put out and covering the president and the administration in the best light possible.
00:10:35.000Again, we've had conversations and said, hey, we need to make sure that we have everything buttoned up as much as possible.
00:10:47.000I refer to them as a media militia, right?
00:10:50.000I mean, at the drop of a pen, we can be up and moving and getting cameras ready to go and getting a shot up live immediately.
00:10:57.000And the shot quality is going to be good, right?
00:11:01.000I'm not necessarily making any claims or accusations, but there's been times where we've seen other pool feeds by some of the mainstream media where the color bounce, the white bounce, is so profusely off.
00:11:19.000That in my mind, there's no way it could have been a mistake.
00:11:22.000I mean, I could understand a little tweak here or there, but you know, you always wonder is some of that a little bit intentional?
00:11:30.000And that's where, from our side, I mean, we are dedicated to providing, again, full, unfeathered access at the best, highest quality possible of the president and this administration to everybody we possibly can, whether that's the general public, which we've been doing for years, and also.
00:11:50.000Every media outlet that you could think of, whether that's the left or the right, it doesn't really matter.
00:11:54.000We want to make sure that the president's message can be shared as broadly as we can.
00:12:00.000And just to state for the record here, this isn't something that we are getting paid for.
00:12:06.000This isn't something that there's some sort of.
00:12:35.000There's, you know, what I say a lot, and I tell this to a lot of different people, and it goes well beyond just the pool feeds.
00:12:43.000We did not get into this business to go make a buck.
00:12:47.000We did not get into this business to grow influence or anything of that sort.
00:12:53.000We got in this business because there's a fight to be had.
00:12:57.000For the sanctity of our country and the protection of all of our amendments and everything else, right?
00:13:06.000So we're not getting paid for this pool feed.
00:13:10.000Matter of fact, as you said, if you want to look at it a certain way, there is an increased burden on us more resources, more people, more time.
00:13:19.000And we're prepared to take that battle up.
00:13:21.000And again, it's because we care so deeply about this country, we care so deeply about this president and this administration, we care so deeply about our faith.
00:13:32.000Which is the antithesis of everything that we do.
00:13:35.000It's so deeply rooted in our faith, which is why, you know, again, to talk about Charlie, you know, why I looked up to him as much as I did is his strength that was rooted in faith.
00:13:49.000So we're going to continue to fight this battle, no matter what front it's on, no matter what it looks like, no matter the cost, the amount.
00:13:57.000We're going to continue to push on and do everything that we can in our power to fight to protect this country.
00:14:05.000And make sure that there is a brighter future for our children, for someday if I have children.
00:14:11.000And that's really our goal and our mission.
00:14:38.000On Tim Pool last night, that people have been saying that Real America's Voice isn't providing this to the public, and yet that's not true at all.
00:14:47.000There is a link, media organizations can get access to that link, and even I think Parker was saying earlier when we were doing War Room that some members of the public are just getting the link.
00:14:57.000And so, if you just send an email to pool at America's Voice dot news, pool at America's Voice dot news, and talk to them, they can either provide the direct streaming link.
00:15:10.000And you could pull it up on a monitor.
00:15:12.000I'm looking at it right now and seeing the stream.
00:15:15.000And if you want that up at home or if you want that up for your media organization, you can do so completely free of charge.
00:15:21.000Because look, the President of the United States was at the United Nations all day yesterday.
00:15:25.000He's obviously making the things that he says are world news, the things that the people who he's meeting with, the conversations that he's having, whether it's with Zelensky, whether it's with the Gulf Cooperation Council, the GCC, does he meet with the Iranians?
00:15:39.000Does he see Pazeshkian, the Iranian president, et cetera, et cetera?
00:15:43.000And of course, he's going to be meeting with Xi Jinping later this evening on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews.
00:15:49.000And this is the first time I believe that it's happened since the 1960s that a president has actually gone out there to meet another world leader who's coming in on the tarmac.
00:15:59.000Real America's Voice is the only game in town that's going to be providing this feed.
00:16:04.000And a pool feed, by the way, is just that.
00:16:05.000It's just that raw footage that goes up of the president.
00:16:21.000It's not free to have a camera, you physically send a camera guy out there and send the feed out to the world.
00:16:27.000But Real America's Voice is stepping up and doing it because the stakes couldn't be higher for our country right now.
00:16:34.000This isn't political, it's just about where we're going as a country, the direction of our nation, the president making these incredible historic meetings, these summits, the White House, the UNGA, which is one of the biggest UN General Assemblies that I've seen in years.
00:16:48.000That's why when I went up to New York City on Monday for this.
00:16:52.000And so Without Real America's Voice, the public wouldn't know.
00:16:55.000They wouldn't have this direct access to the president the way that they are used to getting in this day and age.
00:17:02.000I'm an American, and I believe in the First Amendment, and I believe absolutely the public has a right to this information.
00:17:08.000And it shows the power of building parallel institutions.
00:17:12.000TPUSA was a parallel institution, a counter-institution that Charlie Kirk built into the massive behemoth that it is because there wasn't a youth organization around conservative American values.
00:17:25.000Real America's Voice, again, a counter institution that was built to counter the mainstream media and in this case, surpass them.
00:18:39.000So you need to be able to separate those two.
00:18:41.000But you guys are kind of screwing up their plan because they thought they had this White House in a corner and they were going to have to back down.
00:19:07.000They underestimate every single one of us day in and day out.
00:19:11.000And this isn't the first time we've seen them have a blunder like this.
00:19:14.000They expect that, oh, we're going to have this dominance over this pool feed and we're going to step away and we're going to have it wrapped tight in our hands.
00:19:25.000We have been prepared for this since day one.
00:19:28.000Since day one, we've been prepared for this.
00:19:30.000And we'll continue to stay prepared for this.
00:19:33.000People need to understand the amount of technology that Real America's Voice has been building out behind the scenes to make all their people in the field, the studios, everything talk together.
00:19:55.000They're actually, you know, we're sending me out to cover this huge Fulton Sheen celebration that's happening in America, in America's Dome in St. Louis.
00:20:03.000It's part of this massive return to Christianity and revival that we're seeing with Gen Z.
00:20:07.000And Real America's Voice is helping us cover that as well.
00:20:09.000So, you got the communists coming in Washington, D.C., and we've got the Christians celebrating on the banks of the Mississippi River.
00:21:00.000That's why I recommend wholeheartedly talking to Andrew and Todd at Annie Mack Mortgage.
00:21:05.000If you already own a home, they'll provide a complimentary mortgage review to see if there's opportunities to lower your payment, eliminate mortgage insurance, consolidate debt, access equity, shorten your loan term, or simply determine whether staying in exactly where you are is the smartest move.
00:21:21.000If you're renting, They'll help you understand what it really takes to become a homeowner.
00:21:25.000You may be surprised to learn that buying a home could be more affordable than you think.
00:21:28.000They'll explain the programs available, answer any questions you have, and guide you every step of the way.
00:21:32.000No pressure, no obligation, no sales pitch, just honest advice tailored to your goals.
00:21:37.000Visit AndrewandTod.com to schedule your complimentary review or call 888 888 1172.
00:22:38.000And of course, the DSA very heavily involved in these protests and immediately getting a bunch of people out to shut down the intersections, to throw water bottles at police officers, rocks at vehicles.
00:22:51.000And a lot of people, too, were watching this unfold because rioters and Protesters basically took over the intersection where this shooting occurred.
00:23:00.000Now, keep in mind that our city councilman, Mike Segal, who is DSA aligned, he immediately came out and told a CVS reporter that an ICE agent sideswiped Wilbur Perez.
00:23:12.000Yeah, if you have four last names, I'm just going to go with the first and last.
00:23:15.000So we're just going to call this guy Wilbur Perez.
00:23:28.000CBS then went on to later quietly delete that information, but not before it was already distributed to the city.
00:23:35.000So, all of our elected leaders, the same ones who don't care about the fact that our city is completely overrun with crime and homelessness, a huge drug problem, all of those leaders came forward.
00:23:45.000You had Congressman Greg Cesar that was stoking tensions and saying that this is horrible and that we can't imagine that this happened in Austin.
00:23:55.000They obviously went to the location, they took it over.
00:23:58.000The police really don't do anything when it comes to protests in Austin because back in 2020, during the BLM riots, our own DA went and prosecuted the police officers who were using non lethal munitions to try to disperse the rioters that at that point were taking over the I 35.
00:24:16.000State, it was very dangerous for them to be at the location.
00:24:19.000But as they were trying to disperse them, the DA went and prosecuted them.
00:24:23.000So that's why, fast forward to 2026, you see the scene like you're seeing right now, where you have people taking over an entire intersection.
00:24:32.000You have Austin residents who can't even use their own roads without fear of having rocks thrown at them or fear of being surrounded by rioters and a mob because APD has their hands tied.
00:24:43.000Our leaders continue to foment this chaos.
00:24:47.000Something that I got yesterday was exclusive footage from a surveillance company here in Austin.
00:24:52.000Now, they reached out to me about this because they stated that DHS had this information, but they knew that local media or mainstream media, mind you, because I guess I'm local media, mainstream media was not going to do anything with this.
00:25:04.000So, what you're seeing on screen is a high speed pursuit of Wilbur Perez as two DHS vehicles with their sirens and their lights flashing are pursuing him.
00:25:14.000Now, Wilbur Perez initially came out saying.
00:26:20.000There was also new footage that came out because his attorney came forward and said that after he was shot, he was just.
00:26:25.000Pulled out of his vehicle and given no medical attention.
00:26:28.000You have new footage that came out as well that showed the EMT coming and, you know, very slowly taking him out of the vehicle and giving him medical attention because he had been shot at that point.
00:26:39.000But an idea of how Wilbur Perez was making our streets unsafe here in Austin, Texas by being involved in a high speed pursuit.
00:27:04.000They don't care about their own citizens living under a tyranny of dysfunction and chaos that they create.
00:27:10.000But they care when an illegal who has no right, who had a final detention order on him, evades arrest, leaves police at high speed, endangers countless people, everyone in danger, on the street, could kill multiple people because he's fleeing at a high speed from.
00:27:29.000Law enforcement that has their lights flashing.
00:27:40.000Because he has been told by liberal, radical left Democrats that the people chasing him are Gestapo, they are illegitimate, and that they need to be defunded, and that all these illegals deserve amnesty.
00:27:52.000So he took it upon himself to flee because he's been told that it was morally justified to do so.
00:27:59.000He's fleeing because he knows that these suckers will come out and fight for him no matter what he does, including if he is a despicable criminal.
00:28:09.000You should look up the CBS News write up of this because it's actually really despicable.
00:28:14.000A Venezuelan man shot by an immigration officer while delivering a DoorDash order in Austin was transferred from the hospital to a detention center.
00:28:21.000So they're going with the, oh, he was out doing delivery and got shot.
00:28:25.000They have him whining that his cell is too cold.
00:28:54.000This is the lawyer for Wilbur Perez who's saying, I'm not receiving the medical attention.
00:28:59.000Who do you think is feeding him these lines?
00:29:01.000Yeah, you know, the fact that he can't speak English, I'm going to go ahead and say his attorney, Andrew.
00:29:07.000It's just so despicable that we have all of these immigration lawyers, by the way, that are being paid for by our taxpayer dollars here in Austin.
00:29:15.000They're about to vote here in city council in Austin to continue funding another, I want to say $600,000 plus to immigration services.
00:29:23.000So our taxpayer dollars are actually going toward funding the lawyers for the illegals in our city.
00:29:28.000The lawyers that mock Charlie's death.
00:29:31.000The same kind of lawyers that mock Charlie's death.
00:29:33.000Just so we're all clear, we have all the right enemies, okay?
00:29:45.000Chaos here in Austin, and the taxpayers are just exhausted because our money is going toward funding lawyers like this.
00:29:51.000Our city councilmen are immediately jumping onto the media to try to foment chaos in our streets.
00:29:57.000Former city councilman and current Congressman Greg Cesar, back in 2020, defunded our police by a third, so took 150 million away from our police department, got rid of 180 police positions.
00:30:07.000So our city is as unsafe as it's ever been.
00:30:10.000I'm on the ground right now, Andrew, because our homeless and drug crisis has gotten so bad that they've started.
00:30:17.000Distributing Narcan kits to the local bars.
00:30:19.000That's what the average resident is dealing with.
00:30:21.000But our local leaders don't care about any of that.
00:30:24.000All they care about is an illegal getting shot in the street as he was, again, evading federal officials.
00:30:30.000Like, this is just, you know, elementary stuff.
00:31:06.000When you get pulled over by a car, a cop car, or a law enforcement official, you put it, hands at 10 and 2, you put the keys up on the dash, you turn the car down, you roll the window, and you say, Yes, sir, no, sir, yes, officer, no, officer.
00:31:18.000This whole garbage about blaming these cops, okay, I'm not saying they did everything perfectly, I don't know all the details.
00:31:24.000But the second you take that into your hands and you start evading police, obstructing justice, what happens next is on you, buddy.
00:31:31.000When you flee police, you might get shot.
00:31:55.000They can literally buy DoorDash and Uber accounts so they can work them, which is why when Maria is supposed to be delivering your burrito at 2 a.m., some freaking guy from Venezuela who is not a Maria shows up at your door.
00:32:08.000This is a big black market that has been fomenting and just being created here on Facebook for years at this point.
00:32:15.000And we've already done all the investigations.
00:32:17.000This is one of the big things that they're doing.
00:32:19.000And it's been happening for years, unfortunately.
00:32:39.000And the second that we stop, Putting up with these sob stories or believing the lies that this guy was just some nice DoorDash driver and they sideswiped him.
00:34:10.000You guys, by mandate, have to cooperate with DHS.
00:34:14.000So, this whole notion that this is going to fly in Texas just because Austin is a little like California bastion in a red state, not going to happen, okay?
00:34:27.000And then we should pass a pathway to legal status and to citizenship for the millions of people who work in this community so that no president and no political party could ever do anything like this ever again.
00:34:44.000It's just, well, what it is, is you really need to shove these in people's faces over and over again because they want to ignore the reality, and Democrats are eager to let them think otherwise.
00:34:58.000But the reality is, these people aren't compassionate.
00:35:02.000What they want is they want criminals, they want gang members, they want welfare sponges, they want violent anti American extremists.
00:35:11.000They want all of them to come into America.
00:35:13.000They will seize any excuse, like a criminal DoorDash driver running from police and getting shot.
00:35:18.000They will seize any excuse to then pivot and say, total amnesty for the entire third world to show up here.
00:35:25.000There's a story that just happened in Britain the other day where they had a visiting president level motorcade to escort illegal migrants landing by boat to a hotel where they're going to get free housing, free health care, free literally everything at the expense of taxpayers.
00:35:42.000That is what the left wants because that is their ideological project to destroy America.
00:36:04.000And yet, all that the UN does is they weaponize mass migration to destroy the greatest cultures and heritage with the greatest heritage around the world.
00:36:40.000They have lost their moral bearings completely.
00:36:42.000But I shouldn't be surprised because a lot of these guys have embraced somebody named Hassan Piker.
00:36:47.000We talk about him from time to time on this show because he is unfortunately not just some streamer in California, as Abdul El Sayed would have you believe.
00:36:54.000He actually campaigns with these guys.
00:38:15.000And even, I want to reflect on that because so many people like to make, especially while Charlie was with us, they would make that Hassan Piker Charlie comparison.
00:38:23.000And it's such an illustrative comparison because what was, if you were to say, oh, there's this guy, this young guy Charlie that a lot of conservatives like, what's he saying when you tune in?
00:38:32.000He's saying political stuff, but he's also saying you need to get married.
00:39:39.000Write it down, set an alarm, because the second that date passes, there's no extension, no grace period, no second chance.
00:39:47.000Liens, wage garnishments, bank account seizures.
00:39:50.000That's the IRS taking what you've earned.
00:39:53.000If you filed an extension and haven't submitted your return yet, stop what you're doing and call America Tax Group, the nation's leading tax firm, right now.
00:40:06.000Mention the code Kirk26 when you call for $250 off.
00:40:10.000Miss this deadline and failure to file penalties are assessed immediately with interest compounding daily, growing your debt every single hour.
00:40:18.000Every hour past October 15th hands the IRS more power over your life.
00:40:23.000So if you owe back taxes or haven't filed, Understand this.
00:40:26.000It's not a matter of if the IRS will act, it's when.
00:41:25.000But you are rising to the occasion, John Doyle.
00:41:29.000So we are doing our part to make sure everybody.
00:41:32.000Within the sound of this show and this broadcast, my voice knows who you are.
00:41:36.000John, so you did this debate and we had you on, and I guess it was framed as MAGA versus America First, which I don't actually appreciate the framing because I'm America First.
00:41:50.000Now, we're dealing with these doomers, these doom and gloomers, these horseshoe people that are going to apparently go find common cause with DSA guys that want to kill babies up until the first year of.
00:42:03.000After they're born, the open borders lobby, the DEI guys, the anti white, anti Christian guys.
00:42:09.000We're going to go find common cause and just burn down the Republic.
00:42:12.000And we're probably going to have some of that in the midterms.
00:43:09.000I think it's kind of like that famous, you know, prescription when you're having an argument with a woman, where it's like sometimes they don't want the conversation to be focused towards a solution.
00:43:17.000Sometimes they just want to be heard and to have their feelings validated.
00:43:20.000And I would totally sympathize with that perspective if I were having an argument with my wife or girlfriend.
00:43:24.000But if I'm having an argument with people on the internet, it's like, dude, we're supposed to be solution oriented by definition.
00:43:29.000That's like why we're supposed to be here.
00:43:31.000But typically, what you find when you're arguing with these people is that they don't actually care about all of the wins.
00:43:36.000And if you point the wins out to them, they actually take offense to it because what they think is that you're not actually engaging with their feelings.
00:43:43.000You're not validating how anxious I am, Andrew, which must mean that you aren't as concerned about these problems as I am.
00:43:49.000And so they take it to be like an attack on their identity as a dissident or as a concerned American or something where it's like, look, dude, We're all here because we want to solve the problems.
00:43:57.000By the grace of God, we have an administration which seems to share those concerns and be working towards them.
00:44:29.000And It gets me thinking about it's the upsides and downsides of what we've seen on the right, which is that we talked to Scott Greer, for example, about White Pill, how we had people online, influencers, podcasters were able to mainstream ideas that the political class wasn't supplying.
00:44:44.000But what that means is you have people who are often leading voices in your movement because they're good entertainers, because maybe their mental model of themselves is just, I'm a dissident, I'm a truth teller, I'm this anti establishment person.
00:45:00.000Instead of, let's be real, we are a political movement.
00:45:03.000What you need is people who are oriented on the axis of getting political wins.
00:45:07.000It's something Charlie was so great at that when we're out of power, we're articulating what do we want?
00:45:13.000What should we do when we get power back?
00:45:15.000And when we're in power, how do we get the most out of that?
00:45:18.000But as you say, John, there's other people who it's like the wins are beside the point for them, that they really just need, they want the news to set up justifications for them to signal how based they are or how angry and emotive they are.
00:45:33.000They get angry when you point out wins.
00:45:37.000That we'll have record deportations, and having record deportations month over month is only an excuse for them to go, it should be even higher.
00:45:48.000Yeah, I mean, well, the thing you got to understand about these people, and it maps with almost all of them, is none of them first wanted to be involved in American politics.
00:45:56.000Usually these people wanted to be actors or actresses, or they wanted to be comedians, or they wanted to do something other than work in conservative media.
00:46:05.000And they sort of like wash up here as a temporary way to satiate their need for attention.
00:46:09.000And so ultimately, like their primary concern isn't about the political win.
00:46:13.000In fact, the political win works against them because when Americans feel good about the state of their country, they're not tuning into conservative podcasts.
00:46:21.000They're not watching conservative influencers on Instagram.
00:46:23.000They're not looking for political solutions because to them, it doesn't seem like we have really, you know, tremendous political problems.
00:46:28.000And so these people actually have a direct incentive personally and financially, professionally, Pour gasoline on all of these problems, inflame them, make them seem bigger than they are, that there is no solution.
00:46:40.000The best thing you can do is to listen to me and subscribe to my podcast and so on.
00:46:45.000But if these problems are being solved, now all of a sudden people might tune out.
00:46:48.000They might look elsewhere for entertainment.
00:46:50.000And so, yeah, it's a really bad incentive structure where the only thing we have to hope for for these influencers is that their heart is just in the right place and they ignore the financial incentive and the personal incentive to just pour gas on all these problems.
00:47:03.000And they're just, maybe their heart's in the right place.
00:47:05.000I think we see overwhelmingly that's not the case, which is the problem when.
00:47:09.000Like you're saying, Blake, the movement becomes staffed with all of these influencers to act as kind of the priest class, the reporting class where we're deriving our epistemology from.
00:47:20.000You know, it feels like more and more we're sort of beholden to the algorithm.
00:47:25.000You know, we can have all these conversations about free speech.
00:47:28.000Yes, to be very clear, we are free speech maximalists.
00:47:31.000We can have all these arguments about censorship and all this stuff, but it does feel like at some level we're just beholden to the algo.
00:47:38.000Like it doesn't matter what platform, it's like it just kind of tends to reward obscenities, it rewards absurdities, it rewards conspiracies, drama.
00:47:52.000That's just the question you have to ask.
00:47:53.000You know, fortunately, I do think we're beginning to see some kind of correction.
00:47:56.000I think that people are getting really tired of the last year with everybody just lying and slandering each other and, you know, calling into question everybody's integrity.
00:48:04.000Because the idea with free speech and like talking about these ideas that the political class used to ignore was that finally we can get to the truth.
00:48:12.000Finally, we can all really understand what's going on and we can all just speak about these things honestly and engage with the ideas.
00:48:18.000But instead, people are lying now more than ever.
00:48:35.000I guess I agree with the founding fathers and that I agree with free speech, but I also think lying is horrible because what you're doing is actually worse than material damage.
00:48:43.000You are slandering people and harming their reputation, which is something that can't really be quantified so easily.
00:48:48.000And so, yeah, you know, the founding fathers who obviously are very famously pro free speech, they were also very much so in favor of severe consequences for people.
00:48:55.000Who lied about other people specifically for their own gain.
00:48:58.000So, if we can return to that, that kind of gentlemanly impulse toward the truth, we'll be a lot better off.
00:49:17.000You know, there is no honor among thieves, they say.
00:49:20.000And it does feel like the internet has just made thieves of so many people.
00:49:23.000John, when we talk about these wins, you related it to.
00:49:30.000Talking to a neurotic girlfriend, that when you're trying to reason with people, go ahead.
00:49:34.000But even, it's that we, when that's how it's bad with other influencers, pundits, whatever.
00:49:40.000But what's also so annoying, I would say, is these wins that our own base, for lack of a better term, they're not grateful enough about it.
00:49:48.000That you got a 100% secure border, something that seemed unthinkable for decades, that we would just slam the door on the Mexican border.
00:50:07.000And I wonder, John, do you have any thoughts from interacting with other normal people, MAGA people?
00:50:15.000Is there any sort of way that you can communicate the fact that actually things are just incredibly better than they were in 2020, 2021, 2022?
00:50:24.000Are there certain wins that appeal the most to people compared to others?
00:50:28.000You know, I actually, the thought that I have all the time is that I understand why George Bush was able to.
00:50:35.000I mean, you have so many people who just don't understand the significance of what Trump is specifically as a political leader.
00:50:41.000Like, insofar as they're willing to talk about the Trump political project, most voters will describe it as, ah, we just need to send a bowl into the china shop and mess things up a little bit, really stick it to DC.
00:50:52.000And it's like, this is why books like White Pill are so important.
00:50:55.000People don't understand how bad things were 10, 15, 20 years ago.
00:51:00.000They don't understand how unbelievable it is that the progress we've made has manifested such at the federal level, throughout the state level, as the GOP sort of.
00:51:09.000Like, it's just so much progress has been made, and people seem to think that, like, oh, you know, if we just got a Democrat back in, maybe things wouldn't be so bad.
00:51:17.000And it's like, not only would things be immediately bad again, but they would definitely work to make sure that we never had another shot to right the ship ever again.
00:51:25.000That's why they're talking about putting all of Trump's top allies in prison.
00:51:28.000That's why they tried to put him in prison.
00:51:30.000Like, and it's tough to communicate that to voters because you're asking them to be satisfied with the progress.
00:51:36.000However, objectively speaking, things are not as good for them as they were decades ago in terms of the average, you know, quality of life an American could expect.
00:51:43.000And so, I think it just really has to be emphasized.
00:51:46.000You know, obviously, we understand things aren't perfect, but they are getting a lot better.
00:51:49.000And just remember how recently things were really bad.
00:51:52.000And you do just kind of have to trust us.
00:51:54.000That's kind of what JD Vance has been saying to these people recently.
00:51:57.000And it's not the perfect message, you know, but is there a perfect message?
00:52:00.000I understand the other guy is going to say, ah, we'll just give you a bunch of free stuff.
00:52:03.000Used to be emphasized, that's not true.
00:52:05.000Every time they say that, they just want to do Biden admin 2.0.
00:52:49.000You know, they want sane immigration, they don't want forever wars, are getting lumped in with the neocons because we're rejecting this doomerism, too.
00:53:16.000So that's actually a Washington quote.
00:53:18.000You called him on it and you basically filled in the blanks.
00:53:21.000You said, The rest of the quote goes, if by decency and propriety of conduct, they appear to merit the enjoyment.
00:53:29.000So I love that you are not just taking some people to task because they're conspiracy nuts or horseshoe people, but you're also holding the line on some of the fundamental fabric that built this coalition from the beginning.
00:53:43.000Why is that important to kind of fight it on both sides, John?
00:53:46.000Well, because we want to tell the truth.
00:53:49.000And it seems like everybody except the Patriot is trying to distort reality for their own gain.
00:53:53.000And the reason, just to give you some context, why he tweeted that. Is because some people have been doing something on Twitter where they'll take quotes from the founders from, you know, notes on the state of Virginia or from the Federalist Papers or whatever, and they'll tweet them out as bait.
00:54:06.000And what a lot of these neocons are doing is responding to that and saying, see, this is the woke right.
00:54:12.000You know, you'll see a quote from the Federalist Papers about how America must be a nation united by common character and customs and people.
00:54:26.000And so it's a way of getting these guys to embarrass themselves.
00:54:28.000So Joel Berry was trying to do it back and say, Okay, well, here's a quote from Washington about how we should accept immigrants and blah, blah, blah.
00:54:36.000But curiously, he omits the last part of that quote.
00:54:39.000Literally, there's a comma that says, supposing they have earned it through their demonstration of customs and character and so on.
00:54:45.000Okay, well, anybody who shares our view on immigration would basically agree with that, where it's like, hey, you want to come into the country as long as you are willing to assimilate and show us that, sure, whatever.
00:54:55.000The problem is, though, that's like one in every 10,000.
00:55:04.000It's just a dishonest way of framing the immigration debate.
00:55:08.000And I don't think that he did that, by the way.
00:55:09.000I don't think Joel Berry cut that out.
00:55:11.000I think that Joel Berry probably read that quote from some liberal who had cut that out to make it seem like George Washington would be totally open borders and, you know, happy, go lucky with all these immigrants.
00:55:22.000And I think that means if Joel Berry looks at that and doesn't recognize it as being subversive and thinks, aha, see, Washington would agree with me, I think that's a bit of a problem.
00:55:29.000The founding fathers were very clear on their attitudes about immigration that it should serve the American people.
00:55:39.000Believe it or not, the founding fathers liked Their country.
00:55:41.000And so I think they would have a problem with any political project whose central premise was America and its people are illegitimate and have no history and no identity, and they can be turned into a gigantic third world thunder dome of like capitalism and crime and amnesty and anarcho tyranny.
00:55:56.000I don't think the founders would agree with that.
00:55:57.000What did Joe Biden call it before he lost his marble?
00:56:20.000Microplastics are becoming too much of a problem to ignore.
00:56:24.000They're in 94% of U.S. drinking water, 94%, 90% of our meat and seafood, and the average American inhales, get this, 68,000 microplastic particles each and every single day.
00:56:38.000The EPA recently decided not to include microplastics in the next nationwide drinking water.
00:56:45.000Monitoring program, meaning we likely won't have updated data for years, even as microplastic exposure continues to rise.
00:56:52.000Scientists have already found microplastics in our blood, our arteries, and even our brains.
00:56:57.000The good news is that new research suggests there are ways to help your body fight back.
00:57:02.000Certain probiotic strains found in kimchi have demonstrated the ability to not only remove toxins like BPA, new research is also exploring how these same beneficial bacteria help bind and excrete microplastics before they can do further damage to your body.
00:57:19.000Kimchi is one of the world's most powerful superfoods, but its strong taste and smell can make daily use, daily intake a challenge.
01:02:46.000Security for our economy because of all the things that Trump has done.
01:02:51.000People who are making a living off tips aren't paying taxes on them.
01:02:56.000There are manifestly great things going on.
01:03:00.000And this doom and gloom nonsense, Andrew, I'm so tired of it.
01:03:04.000Oh, Trump isn't doing everything I want.
01:03:07.000So I'm going to vote for the guys who want to castrate kids so that their Munchows and mommies can be excited about catering to their gender delusions.
01:03:23.000So I'm told by CNN, who was just kicked out of the White House, if you could throw this graphic up, a lot has changed since Xi Jinping's last U.S. state visit.
01:03:44.000So the first was in 2017, the summit at Trump's Mar a Lago.
01:03:48.000And it says China was lagging on multiple fronts at that point, vulnerable to the tech and trade frictions Trump would unleash in the coming year.
01:03:55.000But now he arrives at the helm of a country that's transformed.
01:04:00.000The world's second largest economy has emerged as a tech heavyweight, homegrown tech talent is spurring Chinese AI models ever closer.
01:04:09.000Beijing based space firms are launching and landing reusable rockets with their sight on global champion SpaceX.
01:04:15.000Companies from energy to AI, robots, and memory chips have launched blockbuster stock debuts in the past year.
01:04:21.000And they do make a point China's manufacturing juggernaut racked up a $1.2 trillion global trade surplus in the last year, due in large part to them leveraging supply chains, especially in rare earths, in their favor.
01:04:35.000Do you agree with CNN or is this just.
01:04:38.000Are they just still bitter about what happened getting kicked out of the White House?
01:05:20.000And if we say China gets no oil, it gets no oil.
01:05:23.000And if China gets no oil, it's nothing.
01:05:26.000As far as the AI stuff, now that's my favorite part, because the next story on CNN will no doubt be AI is terrible, terrifying, and horrible.
01:05:58.000If I had to choose one, I'd certainly choose the United States over the People's Republic of China, a geriatric communist dictatorship that's teetering on the edge of revolution.
01:06:10.000It's only one bad crop failure away from having these communists overthrown.
01:06:16.000They may have a lot of high tech stuff.
01:06:18.000But at the end of the day, they're a bunch of dictators and they know they're living on a razor's edge.
01:09:41.000Of course, I served in the military, so I.
01:09:45.000I kind of put my money where my mouth is.
01:09:46.000I'm not asking anybody to do anything I didn't do.
01:09:49.000On the other hand, not everybody agrees with me.
01:09:53.000And, you know, and in large part, they don't want, they have seen their trust in the foreign policy establishment completely evaporate after Afghanistan and Iran.
01:10:28.000Imagine the strategic change when you have Venezuela gone, Cuba's going to be gone, the mullahs are going to be gone.
01:10:37.000All of China's allies around the globe gone, getting rid of these running sores that have tormented the United States since before I was born.
01:12:34.000And I get the people don't want to go.
01:12:36.000You know, I okay, so Kurt, but when I sometimes you got to do stuff you don't want to do, and it is getting in the way of the things that we do want to do.
01:12:46.000We want to get affordability, we want to get people's houses.
01:12:49.000My gosh, you know, I can't go through a McDonald's drive-thru order from a clown and not pay 30 bucks.
01:12:55.000How the hell do people live paying 30 bucks for lunch for their family?
01:13:00.000I don't get it, it doesn't work, and we've got to deal with that.
01:13:03.000So I understand, but I think Donald Trump made the right call.
01:13:08.000So, yeah, and You know, we talk about, you said they were going to get nukes and they were going to kill Americans.
01:13:13.000So, what do you say to the crowd that says, we've been warned that they were going to be getting nukes for, you know, how many years?
01:13:50.000They were also building a lot of conventional weapons, including ballistic missiles, to essentially do what North Korea did, which is create a conventional deterrent to stopping them from building nuclear weapons.
01:14:07.000We saw this all happen in North Korea in 1994.
01:16:25.000We're going to have to change how we look at government entitlements.
01:16:30.000And that includes EBT, that includes Medicare, that includes Social Security.
01:16:36.000And a lot of people my age are going to scream, but a lot of young people are, you know, they're going to have to be tough about things and say, no, you can't have free money for doing nothing.
01:16:48.000If they're not willing to do that, they're not going to solve the problems.
01:16:51.000I will be dead by the time a lot of these problems manifest at the end state.
01:16:56.000Ultimately, the biggest problem facing America, I think, is what the founders would say it's a moral one, which is, are people.
01:17:04.000Willing to sacrifice, give up anything for the long term future of this country.
