You 9 00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:00.640 can also text this three one seven two one zero twenty eight eight thirty. 10 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.079 You know, I want to start. I'm hesitant to do this because this 11 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.280 is not what we normally do. But I mentioned this at the end of 12 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:19.200 yesterday's program. I mentioned this at the end of yesterday's program, and I 13 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.920 just came across some things as I was preparing for today's show, and I 14 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.920 don't know, I just it's interesting to me. I think that there's some 15 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:34.040 nuggets of spinoff discussions and topics that go along with this, and so I 16 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.879 want to launch into this today and I want to talk I want to talk 17 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.719 about well, let me read you two headlines. The first this is mind 18 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:49.640 boggling by the way Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. You know, if you 19 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.280 listed the things that I never thought I would be talking about on here, 20 00:01:53.359 --> 00:02:00.359 this might be up there. But Taylor Swift has generated three hundred thirty one 21 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:14.960 million dollars in the enhanced brand value of the NFL since she first attended a 22 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.360 football game by well, between Kansas City and whoever they played back then. 23 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.719 It's actually three hundred and thirty one and a half million. I love that 24 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.800 they tack the half million dollars on there. So this is like a super 25 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.360 precise analysis here. But nonetheless, three hundred and thirty one and one half 26 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:40.639 million dollars of brand value enhanced value of the NFL brand brand and it is 27 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.479 and the Chiefs. So I don't know if the NFL gets all of that, 28 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.120 the chief gets some of it. I don't know the breakdown here, 29 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:53.360 but this is remarkable in and of itself. So since she first started going 30 00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:01.000 to games in September of last year to see her apparently her boyfriend Travis Kelsey 31 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.680 of the Chiefs three hundred and thirty one dollars three hundred and thirty one and 32 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:12.080 one half million dollars a brand value added to the NFL and to the Chiefs, 33 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.120 which is remarkable. And in addition to that, I want to I 34 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:22.199 have to reference this because I referenced this yesterday. Now this is I had 35 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.680 I did not see this prior prior toy yesterday, and it may have been 36 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:31.120 out there and I just hadn't seen it yet because the tweet day, well, 37 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:36.199 it was right as we were as this uh well, the program was 38 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:44.599 coming to an end. Vivek Ramaswami tweets goes to excuse me x whatever you 39 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.280 call what do you call x'es? Are they? Are they still tweets? 40 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.479 I don't even know, but he says this, Well, he's responding to 41 00:03:53.560 --> 00:04:02.120 a tweet I guess from Jack Pasoviec. Think about the tweet from Jackson's thinking 42 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:08.280 about when Taylor Swift called out the Soros family in tw twenty nineteen for buying 43 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.400 the rights to her music and then how she came out a super liberal in 44 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.360 twenty twenty. So vivek Ramaswami tweets out, I wonder who's going to win 45 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.920 next the Super Bowl next month, and I wonder if there's a major presidential 46 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:29.360 endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped up couple this fall. Just some wild 47 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.360 speculation over here, Let's see how it ages over the next eight months. 48 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.000 So there is a conspiracy theory out there, if you want to call it 49 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:43.160 that conspiracy theory, This is the NFL is rigging this. And I know 50 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.800 there's a lot of this, and I shared yesterday, I don't adhere to 51 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.399 this belief. Now I know some of you do, and that's okay. 52 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:56.959 Now, do I think that the people running the NFL are left liberals at 53 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.040 minimum and leftists at worst worst case scenario, So I do believe that. 54 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:06.480 Do I believe that the NFL is happy to do whatever it can to prevent 55 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.160 President Trump from winning re election. I think that that's true. I think 56 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.839 and I've documented in saying that I think that the NFL, well, there's 57 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:21.560 seven pillars of propaganda, and one of those pillars of propaganda. One of 58 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:26.480 those pillars are propaganda. This will be in the book that we're working on 59 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.319 here, but one of the seven pillars of propaganda is entertainment, right, 60 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.920 And so the theory goes. I don't even know that it's a theory. 61 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:41.199 I think it's pretty well established that leftists run these pillars of society, these 62 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:46.839 pillars being the media, these pillars being woke business, these pillars being the 63 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:55.639 government meaning the bureaucratic state, these pillars being entertainment. And there's seven of 64 00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.199 them, seven total. But in entertainments we have things like Hollywood. We 65 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.120 have sports. You know, you've got the NHL, the NBA, the 66 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:11.360 Major League Baseball, the NFL, You've got soccer. You've got Megan Rappino, 67 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.439 You've got all these people. Right, You've got Travis Kelcey in the 68 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:21.480 NFL. Now, Travis Kelcey, I mean, he's out there on the 69 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:30.279 Pfizer ads. He's I don't know how political he gets. I don't follow 70 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.399 him like that, but I do know how political Taylor Swift has gotten. 71 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:39.199 In fact, you may have remembered or you may have seen this years ago, 72 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:45.720 back when I think it was in twenty I'm pausing here. It might 73 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.279 have been twenty sixteen, it might have been twenty twenty. I'm not entirely 74 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:54.319 sure. I can't remember if it was to support Hillary or to support Biden. 75 00:06:54.439 --> 00:07:00.399 But there's recordings of Taylor Swift getting into heated discussions with her father and 76 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.439 maybe her agent too. I can't remember who I was. I was there, 77 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:11.160 but it's video. It's video recordings of basically her explaining just how dire 78 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.600 the situation is politically in this country. You know, I cannot allow my 79 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.920 fans to you know, not know the truth here, Dad, I have 80 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.480 to stand out, stand up for what I believe in, which is women's 81 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.519 rights and all this stuff. As though again it's a complete straw man, 82 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.120 complete straw man to say that conservatives don't believe in women's rights. In fact, 83 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.600 we're the only group of people that can define what a woman is. 84 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:42.720 But so she's out here on this rant about how the Democrats are there to 85 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.000 protect women's rights and how Republicans are not, and she's outspoken. I think 86 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:53.399 it's against Marcia Blackburn. She's talking about Congress and senators from the state of 87 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.839 Tennessee, which is believe where her residence was at the time. You can 88 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.959 look all this up. I didn't look at that. I've seen it in 89 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.319 the past, but I didn't specifically give myself a refresher prior to today today's 90 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.519 program. I just wanted to just use this as a springboard for this discussion 91 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:18.079 because I think it it's not It's not an either or proposition. It's not 92 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:26.240 either the NFL is completely rigged and they are going to you know, do 93 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:35.039 X, Y and Z through endorsing and Biden or whatever, or or you 94 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.960 know, the games are fixed and that's the reality, or they're not in 95 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.240 the NFL is not political. I think the NFL is political. But I 96 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:46.200 also think you know, getting away, getting away with fixing games to the 97 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.559 level that some folks think this is happening. I don't know if some of 98 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.519 these folks have have played. I've not played at that at that level. 99 00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:00.720 My last level was a college and just the speed at what the game is 100 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.720 played, the game of inches, and I'll reference the game over the weekend 101 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:09.759 with the let's see, it was the Chiefs, Chiefs and the Ravens. 102 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.639 That's right, Chiefs and the Ravens. You had some people, by the 103 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.960 way saying the NFL had the script of the NFL was the Ravens versus the 104 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.919 forty nine Ers, because the logo colors of Super Bowl fifty eight had the 105 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.000 colors of the forty nine Ers and the colors of the Ravens. Therefore, 106 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.000 the NFL was colluding to make that be the outcome, but that isn't what 107 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.720 happened. So now you've had another group of people that say that they wanted 108 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.559 the Chiefs in the forty nine ers. And I'm not saying the NFL doesn't. 109 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.639 I've said this before. I think the NFL wants to have the most 110 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:50.480 well the game that would draw the most attention, and so certainly having the 111 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.519 person, having the person Taylor Swift in attendance, which there's even uncertainty that 112 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.559 she's going to be able to do that because she's in a a concert in 113 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.879 Japan on February eleventh. But for those of you that understand the international dateline 114 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.519 and all of that, you know that she's gonna be I don't know exactly 115 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:16.320 the amount of hours, but she's almost a full day ahead or three quarters 116 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.399 of a day ahead of where the super Bowl is going to be played in 117 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.960 Las Vegas, Nevada. It's a thirteen hour flight. Oh yes, and 118 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.399 let the Swifties get ahold of that. Thirteen hours. That's her favorite number. 119 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.679 All this stuff, right, So people think, well, she can 120 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.919 finish her concert, get in the jet of course, probably talk about climate 121 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.279 change somewhere along the way as she's jetting around the world, but nonetheless fly 122 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.200 from Japan to Las Vegas just in time for the Super Bowl. Now, 123 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.840 the NFL would love that, right, the NFL would love that publicity. 124 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:52.279 She's reaching a different demographic and the NFL is reaching the NFL. By the 125 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.080 way. By the way, I'm an old school NFL fan. I remember 126 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.639 as a kid growing up in the nineteen eighty I was born the last day 127 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.759 of seventy seven, forty six years old now, but got a body he's 128 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.720 still have a forty five year old I'm telling you. But the NFL was 129 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.279 I loved it. I loved football from an early age. I was a 130 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.360 fan of the Raiders. They were the Los Angeles Raiders back then, Marcus 131 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.679 Allen bo Jackson here in our city. When I was a kid, the 132 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:28.399 Colts were absolutely reprehensible. I mean, I think the highest we were thrilled 133 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.840 if they got ten points in a game. It seemed like every game they 134 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:37.320 played was nine to six, six to three, some absolutely boring snoozefest. 135 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.679 But the Raiders were my team. Marcus Allen I liked him a lot and 136 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.480 I'm an old school player. I liked the contact. When I was a 137 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.399 kid growing up, they would show they would show some of the hits of 138 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.480 the week, the most violent and brutal hits. Now they don't do any 139 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.679 of that. And look, I get it. I'm not here to say 140 00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:00.000 that there's nothing that should or could be done about the concussion and head injury 141 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.639 and all that. But I'm saying the game has been watered down to the 142 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:09.200 old school, traditional NFL fan, and it's been done for marketing reasons. 143 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:16.960 It's been done for marketing reasons, and they basically, I think I think 144 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:22.919 that the marketing professionals in the NFL have decided, Look, we think we 145 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.159 can still keep a pretty healthy chunk of the traditional, you know, real 146 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.480 football fan and branch out right to branch out. And where do they branch 147 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.279 out. They branch out internationally, and they branch out into the female demographic, 148 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.039 and so it changes. It's changed a lot. So lo and behold, 149 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.639 you've got Taylor Swift come onto the scene, dating one of the league's 150 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.480 best players on one of the best teams. I mean, the Chiefs have 151 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.279 been to what I think I heard, it's multiple I don't want to say 152 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:03.840 it, it's multiple AFC championships can executively. They've been to I mean several 153 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.799 of the recent Super Bowls. I don't want to say the numbers because I'm 154 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.159 not one hundred percent sure, but they're there. They are there consistently at 155 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.559 the top. So you've got one of the best teams. She suddenly turns 156 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.759 out to be dating Travis Kelsey, who suddenly coincidentally turns out to be one 157 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.480 of the faces of political correctness with the Pfiser. You know, Aaron Rodgers 158 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:33.519 called him mister Pfiser in some back and forth that they were having kind of 159 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.279 through Pat mcafear, what have you. But anyway, the point is, 160 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:43.600 the point is this is a perfect scenario for the NFL. And she's brought 161 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.919 in three hundred and thirty one and a half and a half. Don't forget 162 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:56.879 that half million dollars in brand value reportedly supposedly and what is it since September, 163 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.559 so that's October, November, December, January or almost so in less 164 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.799 than five months, in less than five months, she's almost increased the value 165 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.639 of the NFL brand by half a billion dollars. I mean, it's it's 166 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:15.200 mind boggling. Now, I can't say that that report is correct, but 167 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:20.639 you can see why the NFL would care. But then you compare that to 168 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.440 what would really have to happen to to fix games, to fix many games, 169 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:28.759 to fix all the games, and some people think, some people think 170 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.759 that every game is fixed. Again, these are great athletes, and they 171 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.600 they have gotten very good at their skills, my friends. But the idea, 172 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.799 the idea that we can have close games on a regular basis that are 173 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.360 separated by games of inches, and you have fumbles at the goal line that 174 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.759 go out the end zone that are turnovers, You've got interceptions in the end 175 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.600 zone. I mean, it's just way too way too many things going on 176 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.080 for that. But that being said, it doesn't mean that the NFL doesn't 177 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.159 want it, and it doesn't mean that the NF won't use it to further 178 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.559 their political ambitions as one of the seven pillars of propaganda. If the Chiefs 179 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:13.559 are to win, can I see Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift at the White 180 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.480 House or some campaign event for Biden? You better believe I can. You 181 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.159 better believe I can. And I think that that, But that doesn't mean 182 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.240 the game is fixed. I can see them there if they finished as the 183 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.799 Super Bowl runners up. I mean, they're in the game now, So 184 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.960 I mean, whether you win or lose, it's a big deal if you 185 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:39.799 care about the game itself. But they've already got the stage. Taylor's gonna 186 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.039 be there. Well, if she can make it and it fits her schedule, 187 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.519 She's gonna show up. And that's that's where the value is. Win 188 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.200 or lose, that's where the value is. That's where she's bringing in all 189 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.799 these all of her fans, fans and by the way, if you look 190 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.639 on social media, especially back when she started attending these games, I mean 191 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.240 some of the these young young girls are like, you know, what is 192 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:04.960 I didn't know there was such a thing as football. Well, look at 193 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.120 these guys running around hitting each other. You know, I'm going to buy 194 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:12.360 a Travis Kelsey jersey. I'm a Chiefs fan now, right, And that's 195 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:17.360 what's been happening. Of course, a traditional fan like me, thanks, 196 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:21.039 what on earth is going on here? But that's again another discussion for another 197 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.240 day. But I want to talk about this today because it ties into the 198 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:29.159 seven pillars of propaganda. It ties in to really I think what goes on 199 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.679 in the minds well, I use that word loosely, the minds of a 200 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:37.759 lot of voters. It's superficial politics. It is an electioneer. Anyway, 201 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.480 I want to discuss that. I want to get to other things as well. 202 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:48.600 But I find this stuff fascinating, especially since Ramaswami hinted at hinted at 203 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.440 the possibility of there being something more nefarious going on here. So timeouts in 204 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.559 order, my friends, sit tight. You are listening to the home of 205 00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.080 conservative not bitter talk. Be advised, Be advised. This program can cause 206 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:06.839 you to lean to the right, So exercise extreme caution driving a vehicle, 207 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.319 operating heavy machinery, walking down the hallway. Heck, my friends, standing 208 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:17.920 still, it's that powerful. Sit tight back here in just a minute. 209 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:23.319 Well, I'm back with my friends. Can't believe I'm saying that, But 210 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:29.759 we're going to continue this discussion, this conversation about Taylor Swift, the super 211 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:34.720 Bowl, conspiracy theories, pop culture, and of course how this all impacts 212 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:41.759 or can impact politics. How these things actually do impact politics. Dare I 213 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:48.519 say, in some circles, much more than the actual ideas that politicians embrace 214 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.039 and their worldviews and so forth. But for the break, we were talking 215 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:59.240 about all of this kind of background with Taylor Swift, Jason Kelsey, the 216 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:04.759 Super Bowl, the vek Ramaswami's what I say, I said, Jason oh 217 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:08.799 Oz jump piped up for that. I complete slip of the ton Jason. 218 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:14.160 For those that don't know, and I'm guessing many of you do, Travis 219 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:18.200 Kelsey has an older brother named Jason, who it was rumored he was retiring, 220 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.559 but he's not retiring now. He's the center offensivelignment for the Philadelphia Eagle. 221 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.960 So I said, Jason, by a mistake, it's not Jason, 222 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:33.720 it's Travis Kelsey. So Taylor Swift, Travis kelcey. You know the value 223 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:38.799 that the NFL has gotten from Taylor Swift showing up at these games, the 224 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:45.359 Chiefs now being in the Super Bowl, How that can impact pop culture and 225 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.039 well, how that can impact the culture and her fans, which is an 226 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:59.559 astronomically large amount and an amazingly huge amount of people can be impacted by this. 227 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:06.079 You know. I I'm gonna tell a story here real quick. I 228 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:11.119 wasn't even thinking this until just right now, but years ago, years ago, 229 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.240 before I started maybe I think it was before I started this, or 230 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:19.400 maybe I had started the podcast. Taylor Swift used to be part of Big 231 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:25.279 Machine Records in Nashville, Tennessee, and I had a contact that I knew 232 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:32.680 there, and I also had a product that would work for trying to be 233 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.920 careful here what I should say about this, but that would work for Taylor 234 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:44.799 Swift people in that kind of you know, entertainment industry, music athletes maybe, 235 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.400 or teams, you know, NFL teams, what have you NFL. 236 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:51.240 By the way, the NFL called me about this from the for the other 237 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.839 business. Anyway, that's not the point. The point is. The point 238 00:19:55.000 --> 00:20:02.599 is that I took this to Nashville to my contact I was unable to meet 239 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.440 with. His name was Scott. I can't think of do you remember the 240 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.920 CEO of Big Machine Records Scott? And I'm drawing a blank. I can't 241 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.759 think of his last name at the moment. So she takes it to her 242 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:18.400 boss. Her boss meets with Scott and they say Taylor would love this, 243 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.920 but it was at the it was the end of her contract, so they 244 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:29.480 decided not to not to share it with her until they got that all. 245 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:32.319 You know, there were other irons in the fire, bigger deals. She 246 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.519 did not. I think that's when she left a Big Machine. I cannot 247 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:38.079 I think think of Scott's last name to save my life. I know it 248 00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.920 was there one day when I ruled up because I saw his car, which 249 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:47.839 I can't remember, you know, Lamborghini Ferrari something parked there in front of 250 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:52.759 Music Row. I'd never been there before. Interesting experience. But anyway, 251 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:59.079 so I mean with the impact the number of people that Taylor Swift touches around 252 00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.960 the world with her music. Scott Burshetta, thank you. Scott Burshetta is 253 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:10.200 the CEO of Big Machine, and she had a big fight with him over 254 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:14.920 who owned the music and so forth. And that's this tweet that I reference 255 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:21.039 in the first segment from Jack Besobiec that said he remembers the time when Taylor 256 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:25.799 Swift caught out the Soros family for buying the rights to her music, and 257 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:29.400 then she came out as a super liberal in twenty twenty. I would say 258 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.200 Taylor Swift was liberal before that, but she didn't get involved as much in 259 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:38.039 politics when when she was younger. But this is how it works, right, 260 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:42.160 I think this is where the narrative and the story and what's going to 261 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.880 happen next is interesting to talk about, but taking a step back here is 262 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.319 what we can really learn because when I talk about the seven pillars of propaganda, 263 00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:52.440 this is precisely what I mean. Now. I don't want to say 264 00:21:52.440 --> 00:22:00.519 that Taylor Swift controls the entertainment pillar of propaganda, but she has a big 265 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:06.599 chunk of influence over that. It's a huge chunk. In fact, there's 266 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:11.799 nothing remotely comparable, no one remotely comparable to her regarding her influence. So 267 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:18.279 if she decides and she has, by the way, if she decides to 268 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:25.559 support Joseph Robin at Biden president bribery, and she tells her fans that and 269 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:30.000 she gives them some sup she I don't even think she needs. She doesn't 270 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.160 even need to say anything, because again, look at the value her simply 271 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:40.839 her presence, her physical presence at a Chiefs football game, for you know, 272 00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:45.079 a good chunk of the season added nearly well in the vicinity of a 273 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:51.079 half billion dollars to the NFL's brand value in six months. According to reports, 274 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.960 it's three hundred and thirty one million. But it's a massive amount of 275 00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.039 money getting in the vicinity where you have to start talking in terms of almost 276 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:04.200 a half a billion. And so that's just from showing up, that's from 277 00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:08.359 seeing her in the suite, hugging people, high fiving people. People are 278 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.599 filming her the whole game, trying to read her lips. What is she 279 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:17.599 saying? Why does she wear that? All of this kind of stuff right 280 00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:22.759 people? And I don't understand it. Well, I understand it, but 281 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.039 it doesn't resonate with me. I don't care. I don't care what Taylor 282 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.480 Swift wears. I don't care what Taylor and it's not against her. In 283 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.119 fact, when she was younger, I thought, you know, there's a 284 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.839 lot to like about this this artist. I even knew. I even knew 285 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:42.559 some of the songs when she was when she was younger. In fact, 286 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:45.880 I was talking to my brother about that recently. He said, I don't 287 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.079 even didn't even know. He told me he just heard his first Taylor Swift 288 00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.119 song, and I said, no, it's not true. I remember distinctly 289 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:59.519 talking with you about one of her songs, love Story. I remember this 290 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.640 because I thought it was hilarious that we both knew the story of the song. 291 00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.880 Anyway, her impact and her reach is profound, and now you factor 292 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:14.799 that into her political affiliations, and you look at who the people in her 293 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:22.240 target audience are, which involves people that are highly hell boy. We've all 294 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:29.519 been young once, right, and as you grow up typically you I mean, 295 00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:32.920 this is I think even biblical right when I when I was a child, 296 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.920 I did things in childish ways. But as I've matured, I put 297 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.000 childish ways behind me. I mean, that's kind of the whole point of 298 00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:45.440 becoming an adult. It's not that we don't ever act childish in a way 299 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.480 like just to have fun and goof off. It's that you know when to 300 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:55.240 do that, and you're not so absorbed with every single superficiality. And there's 301 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:59.400 a lot of truth that a lot of young people and an older adults too, 302 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.759 but I think it's more prevalent statistically that younger people and we all went 303 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.640 through this. I'm not targeting the younger generation. I'm just saying that there's 304 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.920 a phase where there's a highly superficial phase that most of us go through. 305 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.640 Some of us never grow out of, but we stay in it. We're 306 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.759 all generally or many of us, most of us, a high percentage of 307 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:23.319 us are in it in the young adult years, which is when or you 308 00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:27.720 know, teenage to maybe young adult time. And this is when Taylor Swift 309 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:33.920 is these are the folks in her base right. And so you have someone 310 00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:40.880 with a massive amount of influence who's now a pop culture icon of sorts, 311 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.640 endorsing or standing behind a president that the rest of us who look at things 312 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.519 objectively can see a guy that can't complete sentences. But yet she goes out 313 00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:55.319 there and she says, I'm for the Democrat Party because they're for women's rights, 314 00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:57.839 and she gets cheers at concerts. There's no other context, no other 315 00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:02.519 context. Who cares that were on the precipice of World War III? Who 316 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:07.480 cares that Biden was accused of doing a lot worse with Tara Reid than Trump 317 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:14.039 was accused of doing with what Egene Carol, I guess it doesn't. None 318 00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:17.920 of that matters to anybody. None of that matters whatsoever. What matters is 319 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.839 the sound bite. And it's powerful, and it's influential, not to you 320 00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.200 and me, maybe some out there that it might be. But it doesn't 321 00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.079 matter to us because either we understand that it's the issues and the ideas and 322 00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:34.240 the worldview fueling these things that matter. But to a huge chunk of the 323 00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:41.759 population. It's about being in the right crowd, superficially right, or they 324 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:48.880 fall for the hook, the hook women's rights or my body, my choice, 325 00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.359 or whatever. The bait of the day is. These things that are 326 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.680 an inch deep and a mile wide. But if you have people that are 327 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.920 listening to that and watching that that never dig than an inch deep, they 328 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.759 won't know that it ends at an inch deep. They take it at face 329 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:11.640 value. They take the superficial, superficial of the particular issue or talking point 330 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.759 of the day, the narrative of the day, and that's where they stay. 331 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.519 That's where they go. Ever, listening to people say why they wouldn't 332 00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.400 vote for Trump because he's dangerous, he's insurrectionists and you asked him, we'll 333 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.519 explain that. What do you mean? They can't You dig one or two 334 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:34.880 questions deep and there really is nothing there. There is manufactured tumult and chaos 335 00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:40.720 and fear that's been gender by the people running and operating the seven pillars of 336 00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:44.839 propaganda. So timeouts in order, my friends, set tight back here in 337 00:27:44.880 --> 00:28:04.240 just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. So we are again talking 338 00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:08.599 really about a lot of things. We're talking about the well as a springboard. 339 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:15.680 We use the narrative of the story about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, 340 00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:19.839 Kansas City chief Super Bowl her value or excuse me, the value that she's 341 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:26.319 helping bring to the NFL three hundred and thirty one and one half million dollars 342 00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:32.519 to their brand value since she first attended a Chiefs game back in September. 343 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:40.000 And we then took this and we've applied what is a major problem, what 344 00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:48.240 we've discussed and unveiled what's a major problem in American politics today, and that's 345 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.039 the politics of superficiality. Now, to a certain extent, this has always 346 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:59.440 been the case and it will continue to be the case amongst certain voters, 347 00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:04.160 amongst certain types of people. The culture fuels a lot of this. This 348 00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:07.039 is all this If you want to talk about what's by design, I would 349 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.119 say this more than whether or not the Chiefs beat the forty nine ers. 350 00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:18.880 But the real effort is into controlling the culture, the way that people think. 351 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:23.319 The impact that these seven pillars of propaganda as I term them, the 352 00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:29.200 impact that they have on people, and people like Taylor Swift wield a lot 353 00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:36.079 of power, and I don't bemoan that I wish people would still be critical 354 00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:40.240 of the things that she is endorsing and saying, just like I would say 355 00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.039 the same thing about me. Go for it, double check it, think 356 00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:48.960 it through, Challenge me, right, I mean, maybe you'll teach me 357 00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.359 something, Maybe you can help enlighten me in an area that I've maybe not 358 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:59.359 completely got correct or whatever. You know. Socrates back back in his day 359 00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:02.960 said that the person that learned something was the winner. That's not how we 360 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.240 look about it and look at it in today's culture. If you win the 361 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:10.359 debate, you're the winner. If you lose the debate, you're the loser. 362 00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:14.279 You're the guy that's wrong and you need to hang your head in shame 363 00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.039 and be mocked or whatever. I don't know. I live in a different 364 00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.640 lane than a lot of this pop culture stuff. Anyway, we'll talk more 365 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:22.519 about that, but I want to tell you a little bit about our friends 366 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.680 at Harvard Gold Group. If you listen to this program for any length of 367 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:32.119 time, you know by now that gold has outperformed the S and P five 368 00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:37.759 hundred by well and the Dow since nineteen seventy one, when the US took 369 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:44.559 the dollar off of the gold standard. Ask yourself is that a coincidence. 370 00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.559 We've been talking about coincidences and conspiracies and all this stuff today, But is 371 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.839 that a coincidence? When the US government allowed the people to own gold again 372 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:57.519 and let that sink in a allowed people to own gold again, they reclassified 373 00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:03.720 gold as a command rather than a paper currency backstop. Even though the US 374 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:11.640 itself still holds the highest amounts of physical gold in its reserve, All countries, 375 00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.759 all central banks, all major institutions, even guess the IMF itself, 376 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:22.079 the International Monetary Fund, all own substantial gold holdings. If all these folks 377 00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:29.920 and all these entities control paper fiat money, and yet they still have physical 378 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.480 gold. If they have those things, if they have the gold, doesn't 379 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:36.400 make sense for you to have it as well. So if you want to 380 00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:41.559 learn more about that, I invite you to visit Harvardgoldgroup dot com, Harvard 381 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.279 Gooldgroup dot com.

Friends, This is nothing new what we've been talking about today. 384 00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:02.400 This is the way that it has been You know, politicians and people 385 00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:09.440 who seek to well to win votes or even you know more nefariously seek to 386 00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:15.000 control societies, seek to obtain positions of power, to lord it over the 387 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.559 people, to enrich themselves. All these sorts of things, all the stuff 388 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.480 that we see happening in Washington, d C. We have to remember that 389 00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:25.720 this is their chosen career path. It was never intended to be this way. 390 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.680 It was never with the founders envisioned. In fact, the founders wanted 391 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:37.079 people living their lives and then coming to sessions in Congress having come from reality, 392 00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:42.000 not from living inside of a bubble like we have in Washington, d 393 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:47.200 C. Today, a bubble that has no semblance in reality whatsoever. And 394 00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:51.279 of course we've got nonsense happening. I remember when I was in school there. 395 00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:54.119 I was only there for four months or something, four months of being 396 00:32:54.119 --> 00:33:00.200 in DC, and I remember just how out of touch with reality I felt. 397 00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:06.839 There's nothing reality based there. It's all political, it's all for it's 398 00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.559 off for consumption. There's a lot of the real stuff that's happening is behind 399 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.119 closed doors, as we found out with this border deal that looks like it's 400 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:20.799 doa Hopefully it stays that way. By the way, there's a piece in 401 00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:28.319 the stack of stuff by Katie Pavlik who says, hey, here's five things 402 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:36.599 Biden can do today without any Congressional vote whatsoever, and that could address illegal 403 00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:42.079 immigration in the open border. Speaker Mike Johnson, I've got his tweet in 404 00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.559 the stack of stuff as well today that say, hey, here's sixty four 405 00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:51.599 times that Biden's policies have directly made the border situation worse in just a little 406 00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:57.039 over three years now. So that's all going on. That sort of stuff 407 00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:01.759 happens behind closed doors, right. The pilot sees the deal making, the 408 00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:07.240 big guy stuff, all that, right, all that alleged stuff, but 409 00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:15.639 the the superficial cloak that they put all over that, that's what's for consumption 410 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:24.599 and that's what Unfortunately, that is the depth, the greatest depth that some 411 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:30.400 people will ever go into political matters. Well, I heard Taylor Swift say 412 00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:35.440 this at her concert or she had a Biden shirt on or Biden had on 413 00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:40.079 or whatever, or she said, my body, my choice, And that's 414 00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:46.920 as much as someone understands about the issue of abortion. And that's unfortunate, 415 00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:51.199 and that's one of the reasons why we do This is to try to give 416 00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:57.159 some context and depth and clarity and explanation to what's really going on. But 417 00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:01.440 the other side is focused on using the superficial. Superficial is powerful. The 418 00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:08.079 superficial can be manipulative. The superficial can lead people down that wide, broad 419 00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:13.760 path of destruction where people are just humming along, not thinking about where they're 420 00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.840 taking and placing their next step. Suddenly they're in the middle of political hell, 421 00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:22.119 which candidly is what's happened. It's what's happened. America was on this 422 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:28.000 path towards marching towards the left on a consistent basis. The government was growing. 423 00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:34.000 People finally have awakened. I hope that we've given ourselves enough time. 424 00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.960 I hope that there are enough people who have joined in the fight. There 425 00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.920 are people that are waking up every day. They haven't become woke. They 426 00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:46.239 become awakened to the problem, not with woke nonsense. They just had a 427 00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:51.960 slap of cross the face from reality that says this stuff has been going on 428 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:55.599 for far too long. That's why the border, that's why people are incredibly 429 00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:00.239 on the side of Texas. I think that's in the stack of stuff as 430 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:05.840 well along the border. People are on Texas's side and not the federal government 431 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:10.079 side when it comes to the border. So these superficial techniques and strategies still 432 00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:15.400 work, but I think they're becoming less effective for growing numbers of people, 433 00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:19.039 and that's a good thing. So timeouts in order. Got to take a 434 00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:30.920 break care of my friends. Sit tight back in just a minute. It's 435 00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:34.239 my friends. I've looked this up during the break and it is in the 436 00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.519 stack of stuff by the way, so you can look at this yourself. 437 00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:43.840 But listen to this. This is well. I found this googling it because 438 00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:45.920 I read this somewhere. This isn't the one I originally found, but it's 439 00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:52.039 what I've just googled and found pole. This was January twenty ninth, so 440 00:36:52.079 --> 00:37:00.000 this was on Tuesday or wait monday, is that right? Poll Most Americans 441 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:05.760 want Texas to stand its ground if you read this so. Rasmussen reports national 442 00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:12.239 telephone and online survey found that sixty nine percent of likely US vot voters support 443 00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:17.599 Texas erecting barriers at the border to prevent illegal immigrants from crossing, including fifty 444 00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:24.199 three percent who strongly support the action. Just twenty seven percent oppose Texas taking 445 00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:30.960 action on its own to prevent illegal immigration, including fifteen percent who strongly opposed 446 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:37.559 the state's actions. I just it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make 447 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:44.679 any sense why someone would not if you say it's it's the federal government's job 448 00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:51.559 to enforce the border security, Okay, But then so let's say you think 449 00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:54.159 Texas shouldn't be doing it for those purposes. But then you say, the 450 00:37:54.199 --> 00:38:01.599 federal government is literally opposing trying to prevent people from coming across here illegally, 451 00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:07.800 So why shouldn't the state have their chance to protect their own border. I 452 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:15.480 mean, it's it's craziness. It's absolute lunacy, and it's almost it's getting 453 00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:21.880 close to three to one, right, seventy five twenty five would be three 454 00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:24.599 to one. We're at sixty nine twenty seven, so or within shouting distance 455 00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:28.440 of that. So the superficial culture has its work cut out for it. 456 00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:31.000 The more people know and have understanding of what's really going on. Time out 457 00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:43.960 to in order though back in a minute, all right, my friends, 458 00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:47.079 Unfortunately, that is all the time that we have today. But I've enjoyed 459 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.360 this today. I told Oz, you know, I like doing episodes like 460 00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:57.440 this. I think that there's something that comes from it where you know, 461 00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:01.800 we're not always talking about specific political issues of the day. Those things matter, 462 00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:07.519 but folks, the battle we're fighting, the battle we're fighting really is 463 00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:10.440 a multi front battle, and we go through that when we talk about the 464 00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:14.760 seven pillars of propaganda, and entertainment is one of those, and dealing with 465 00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:19.880 superficialities is one of those. And trying to figure out how to engage with 466 00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:24.519 people who buy into the rhetoric and the nonsense and the superficial silliness is something 467 00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:27.920 that's important. We got to figure out. I gotta go have a great 468 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:28.519 day, SDG.
