#304 - Thomas Massie’s Defeat & The Anti-GOP Frenzy: Are Influencers Leading Us Nowhere? · Brandon Fogal Evolution

  Thomas Massey lost last night, and I think we could all see what was going to happen before time.
• 0:05
  We knew the reaction, what it was going to be. The internet was going to go wild.
• 0:10
  The people on the internet, do they speak for the majority of voters?
• 0:14
  And people are saying already it's a rigged system. He had no chance.
• 0:18
  Israel, the lobby for Israel, put the other guy.
• 0:22
  I don't even know his name. I don't even know who won. I don't know who the
• 0:26
  other guy was who won in Kentucky against Thomas Massey.
• 0:29
  I don't really care. I'm not following it too closely. I know a lot of people are.
• 0:33
  But I suspected Thomas Massey was going to lose because what he's representing is just the
• 0:40
  the podcaster internet frenzy that
• 0:43
  is happening that and it goes back
• 0:46
  to israel it's all because i'm not gonna like
• 0:49
  hide behind this thing that that's not what people are
• 0:52
  obsessed over the people that are on the right the podcasters the influencers
• 0:57
  they're shifting towards against being with israel and that's what's and i'm
• 1:02
  not saying we should be with israel i'm not saying that that's all we should
• 1:05
  be but it's like that's become their identity like that's like what they're
• 1:09
  seeing everything through.
• 1:11
  But Thomas Massey came out yesterday in his concession speech.
• 1:16
  Actually, you got to check out what he said. I'll read it for you.
• 1:19
  I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent to concede and it
• 1:22
  took a while to find him in Tel Aviv.
• 1:25
  Listen, I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede
• 1:31
  and it took a while to find Ed Galrine in Tel Aviv.
• 1:34
  I guess that's the guy's name, Ed Galrine? I don't know. No,
• 1:38
  I mean, but I honestly, I wanted the other guy to win.
• 1:43
  I'm not for I wasn't for Thomas Massey because all he is standing for is opposition to Israel.
• 1:48
  And that like that's their worldview. And that's what they're seeing everything through.
• 1:53
  But the power on the right still is through Donald Trump.
• 1:57
  It's he's the one who's leading the Republican Party.
• 2:01
  He's the one who has the majority of the power. and he's the one who came out
• 2:05
  on x yesterday and posted after he hadn't posted forever and he said.
• 2:10
  Thomas Massey put out a false, you know, of me endorsing him and take it down
• 2:14
  immediately because Thomas Massey probably pulled something that was an endorsement
• 2:18
  from Trump long, long ages ago.
• 2:20
  But this is what people are diving into. And it's like, I'm okay with you.
• 2:24
  All right. You don't want to support Israel. You don't want to be with Israel.
• 2:27
  That's okay. But you're, you're moving towards the left, the Democrats that
• 2:32
  are, they're like chomping at the bits.
• 2:34
  They're happy as hell to get you over to them. You know, that's what that, but once you get there,
• 2:39
  what are you going to do are you going to form a new party are you
• 2:42
  going to become like try to reform the democrat
• 2:45
  side because it all it is it's about burning
• 2:48
  down the gop the republicans it's like
• 2:51
  where do we go from there it's like like just
• 2:54
  within a a year this is
• 2:58
  like crazy conspiracy but it's like the
• 3:00
  democrats did they do this did they are the
• 3:03
  other ones underneath the surface that are launching this get
• 3:06
  all these prominent influencers to just just get
• 3:09
  everyone's opinion at least on x and on the platforms like
• 3:13
  to oppose trump and because the idea is
• 3:16
  because israel's controlling you that's what
• 3:19
  they're seeing everything through it's crazy like
• 3:22
  you can try to like peel back the layers but that's what it is it's all they're
• 3:26
  seeing at tim dylan on pierce morgan show yesterday he um he had some i i go
• 3:32
  i go to tim dylan and i like i like what he brings to the table like he's a
• 3:37
  very good indicator of where people are really feeling and what he says.
• 3:42
  And he doesn't dive in too much to the Israel thing, but he calls a spade a spade.
• 3:48
  This turn to Iran, to interventionism, to me feels like the biggest betrayal
• 3:56
  of a political movement I've ever seen in my life.
• 3:58
  And it's really interesting to me how it split the conservative right pretty
• 4:02
  well down the middle, where you now have people lining up, whacking each other
• 4:06
  in a way that, again, would have seemed unthinkable a few years ago.
• 4:10
  What do you think is going on there? Is it the Israel issue?
• 4:13
  Well, that's a big part of it. But
• 4:15
  I also think it's preparation for the inevitability of what comes next.
• 4:20
  Of life after Trump. Life after Trump. And a lot of people feel Vance is not
• 4:23
  a viable candidate and he won't win.
• 4:25
  So obviously, you look at a guy like Joe Kent who resigned. He clearly has political aspirations.
• 4:29
  Maybe Tucker does. I don't know. But there's a lot of talk about that.
• 4:33
  There's the preparation for what comes next.
• 4:36
  Polymarket has J.D. Vance at 36% now. Marco Rubio, 25%. Tucker Carlson at 7%. Yeah.
• 4:44
  Where does the party go after Trump? Because he's not going to be there forever.
• 4:47
  Unless they somehow come up with some shot that can make you live forever.
• 4:51
  Because it doesn't seem like Donald Trump is slowing down.
• 4:54
  He's not. And are we going to roll into a third Trump term?
• 4:58
  That's a possibility. You never know. You never know in this point,
• 5:02
  at this point, what could happen.
• 5:04
  But I'm just like concerned because after Donald Trump won, it seemed like everybody
• 5:09
  on the right, we had everything. We had Joe Rogan. We had Elon Musk.
• 5:13
  There was, sky's the limit. And how, in a year, at least just in the opinion
• 5:20
  on the internet, everything has just fallen, fallen away. Everything has just crashed and burned.
• 5:25
  It's because, and I'm saying that like what they want you to believe.
• 5:29
  What the, because the internet sometimes speaks louder than what people,
• 5:33
  regular normies are feeling.
• 5:35
  The regular people, which pretty much carry a lot of the more weight or who
• 5:38
  are going to go out there and vote.
• 5:40
  It might be a couple years from now before these crazy
• 5:44
  gen zers who are all up in arms and just following
• 5:47
  in the footsteps of nick fuentes whatever he says is pristine
• 5:51
  gold before they come of age
• 5:54
  and they're able to think clearly and at
• 5:56
  that point it's like then they'll probably shift their viewpoints
• 6:00
  they'll be like that was just when i was young and liberal and and
• 6:03
  a crazy crazy kid you know i had i
• 6:05
  had visions of grandeur and.
• 6:08
  I thought more than could actually be a reality i
• 6:11
  and i'm not i'm not i'm not an old
• 6:14
  guy i'm not like i'm not a guy that just like i but i can
• 6:17
  just read what is happening i don't do you
• 6:20
  feel like this the same way are you watching this stuff
• 6:23
  because the algorithms are what puts these
• 6:26
  things in front of you what puts these these crazy these crazy
• 6:29
  like lunatic lunatics that are just promoting these
• 6:32
  ideologies but like the only thing that is undergirding everything
• 6:35
  that they're saying is israel is controlling it
• 6:38
  all israel's controlling america this is now the united states
• 6:41
  of israel it's like really or
• 6:45
  or are you just kind of on you're you're
• 6:48
  on the outskirts right now you have a the the loudest voices
• 6:51
  maybe are not the smartest voices maybe are not the ones that speak for the
• 6:55
  majority of the people and i'm not saying like the majority of the people is
• 7:00
  always right just because it's the majority and the the voice of the people
• 7:04
  spoke that they're exactly right but it seems like they're more rational like.
• 7:11
  On the right we have power now with donald
• 7:13
  trump and the administration but you're
• 7:17
  seeing everything like because we're in war with iran who who
• 7:20
  is for the war in iran who is like actually for because
• 7:23
  like you you it's just like it's just
• 7:26
  a necessary thing what they're doing they're they're
• 7:30
  trying to prevent people uh lunatics crazy you
• 7:33
  know people that want to blow everyone up and hold everyone hostage
• 7:36
  they want to not allow that to
• 7:39
  happen because it's not like allowing north korea to
• 7:43
  have a a nuke because north korea isn't
• 7:45
  ones that think if they blow themselves up they're going to heaven and
• 7:49
  have virgins in heaven and as much as they want to create chaos like like these
• 7:55
  people that are in power in iran they they're not for like the good of americans
• 8:01
  they chant death to America and the whole Israel thing.
• 8:06
  I mean, that's just like, if you just saw it as we're not being controlled by
• 8:10
  Israel, but there were using Israel where they're, they're helping us and being
• 8:14
  our presence over there.
• 8:16
  Donald Trump wasn't forced into this war. It was his call. He decided to move forward with that.
• 8:22
  Donald Trump's not going to be pushed into anything. You think he's going to
• 8:26
  be controlled and blackmailed by Netanyahu? You really think that?
• 8:31
  Like, they're going to expose something. Like, the left has tried to impeach
• 8:35
  Donald Trump like 20 million times, and he keeps going. They try to put him
• 8:40
  in jail and prison and send him to prison the rest of his life, but he keeps going.
• 8:45
  But somehow Netanyahu and Israel are twisting his arm behind his back.
• 8:49
  Like, this is delusionment from the podcasters, these influencers that just
• 8:55
  have a big megaphone, but really do not have substance.
• 8:58
  When you actually get down to it,
• 9:00
  they do not have substance what they're saying. It's just Israel's bad.
• 9:04
  Jews are bad. So I got to oppose that. And that's all they're seeing.
• 9:08
  That's all they see. And they're just pushing everybody off a cliff.
• 9:11
  They want to destroy this.
• 9:13
  Blow it up for what? What comes of it? All right, we'll leave it at that.
• 9:17
  Let me know what you think. If you disagree with me, I don't care.
• 9:21
  Disagree with me, whatever.
• 9:23
  Let me know what you think. All right, have a good day. See y'all.
