#292 - Israel Broke the Right — Here's How Tucker, Nick & Candace Are Each Responding · Brandon Fogal Evolution

0:00
Three titans in our world right now, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes,
0:05
and Candace Owens, for all different reasons, are they all on the same team,
0:10
the same side? Are they pulling in different directions?
0:13
For me, I see them as pulling in different directions, but they might be wearing
0:18
the same jersey at this point.
0:21
Is there going to be a collaboration between these three?
0:24
I would like to see it. I don't know about you. these three
0:27
are the ones that are for me the most interesting people
0:30
on the planet right now right
0:33
now i mean donald trump is his own thing
0:36
he's always kind of out there he's kind of in the on
0:40
the side but so you got to account for him but these three for different reasons
0:45
are like always getting attention and it seems like they're the representation
0:50
of the right right now And they're the ones that are always causing this civil
0:56
war to stir up. Everybody's at each other's necks.
0:59
There's not, it's just like, there's so much dust everywhere.
1:02
We don't know what's real at this point. We don't know.
1:06
Because I look back and I see Charlie Kirk, he was the glue that held everything together.
1:12
And it sounds weird to even bring this up, like to say he's the glue holding
1:16
everything together, because we know the one who really is holding everything
1:19
together is Jesus Christ. He's the one putting this world intact and keeping
1:23
all of our molecules together.
1:25
But it seems like Charlie Kirk, ever since he died, the world has not been the same.
1:32
And these three have had their, you know, their, their words to say about it.
1:37
And they look at the whole, the assassination attempt that happened,
1:41
the assassination that happened on an assassination attempt.
1:44
And they come away with majorly different points of view.
1:48
I want to, first of all, dive into Tucker Carlson because out of these three,
1:52
these, he's the one that I see as the, the biggest elephant in the room,
1:57
the biggest, you know, monkey in charge,
2:01
300, 800 pound gorilla, you know, as Megyn Kelly said, that's kind of the visual
2:05
I have because he, he, uh, wops on Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens.
2:11
And as we can see the ratings that have come out about Tucker Carlson are just
2:16
out, just outstanding, insane, ridiculous.
2:20
But first of all, I want to actually look into this.
2:22
Tucker Carlson just had a sit down with the New York Times. I hope you spend
2:26
a day with Trump and sort of like you're in this kind of dreamland.
2:30
It's like smoking hash or something. It's interesting. Very interesting.
2:33
I'm Lula Garcia Navarro, and I'm in Maine to interview Tucker Carlson.
2:37
For many years, Carlson was one of President Trump's most vocal supporters.
2:42
I mean, I've always agreed with Trump's policies.
2:46
And here I am with a full-throated, utterly sincere endorsement of Donald Trump.
2:52
But recently, Carlson has publicly broken with Trump.
2:55
He's not only come out against Trump's decision to go to war with Iran.
3:00
This is the single most foolish thing any American president has ever done.
3:04
He now says he regrets supporting the president. You know, we'll be tormented
3:07
by it for a long time. I will be.
3:10
And then also the ratings are ridiculous for him. It's, check this out.
3:15
So Tucker Carlson Network posted, Tucker Carlson broke cable news ratings records at Fox.
3:20
And today he's reached multiples of that audience independently at 56.8 million
3:25
views per episode across social media and podcast platforms.
3:29
And you can see it right there. Tucker Carlson Network sees historic growth
3:32
as audience flock to independent coverage of the Iran war.
3:36
56.8 million. In comparison, you can see his last year or in primetime when
3:42
he was at Fox in 2020, 5.3 million views compared to 56.8 million views.
3:50
Everything has shifted. It's no longer just your cable news network.
3:54
And then you can see this, the average currently of the most primetime viewers
3:58
at Fox, April 2026, 3.2 million.
4:02
Absolutely bonkers that he has been able to gain so much attention.
4:07
He is incredible i would say this but he's
4:10
also very dangerous what he is
4:13
doing because i out of these three i see
4:16
tucker carlson as the most reasonable rational person
4:19
of them who's come to all of this with a coherent perspective which makes sense
4:25
and like and it makes sense why he's garnering so much attention more than candace
4:29
more than nick fuentes it's because he speaks reasonably into this storm of
4:35
chaos that we are in, that everybody is picking a side.
4:39
Are you for the Iran war? Are you not? Are you against it?
4:43
The underpinning of everything, of all of this is Israel.
4:47
And that is what's coming more and more flourishing to the forefront of everyone's mind.
4:52
Everybody is basing their worldview of how they interpret politics,
4:56
how they interpret geopolitical warfare of what we should be doing as the United
5:02
States based on your viewpoint of Israel.
5:05
It's actually utterly insane to me that it's come this far, that people are
5:10
so divided on this issue.
5:12
I think the reasonable people don't care about Israel as much as the crazies.
5:19
Because once you get into it, this is like before I got into politics,
5:24
before I got into caring about politics, and even now, I've always,
5:28
way back when, before I did this, but even now, I don't understand why people
5:32
get so upset people on the other side.
5:35
I've never understood that. I didn't understand that before I got into it.
5:39
I remember sending my uncle and giving him a birthday card way back in the day,
5:43
and he was a pretty staunch Democrat. He cared about Democratic thing.
5:47
And I knew that I didn't know anything about politics. I didn't know it was
5:50
a big deal to not bring up politics, but I gave him a birthday card and it referenced something like that.
5:55
Like about like here, I wanted to give you a cake, but I had to give to the
5:59
90% people. Uh, and here's what's left 10% for you based on,
6:03
you know, kind of just a distribution of wealth. And he kind of giggled and laughed.
6:07
And I, I didn't know it was such a big deal, but it is people like care and
6:13
they get so up in arms about politics, that has shifted now. And it's on Israel.
6:19
What your viewpoint of Israel determines a lot of people's viewpoint of you.
6:24
You could say Trump is like that as well. People look at him and how you view
6:28
him. Are you standing for the president?
6:31
I've never been like that myself. I've never been like that where I need to.
6:35
This is my identity my identity is Republican my identity is Trump my identity is Israel like.
6:46
For me, my identity is Jesus Christ, period.
6:50
And everything else like that, we're just going along to get along.
6:53
You know, you can have passionate viewpoints about things. That's great.
6:56
But like, it seems like more and more people are dividing over these things.
7:01
And I don't know if it's just crazy because the internet has just taken it over
7:06
where everybody, it seems like everybody is nutso on the internet.
7:10
It seems and I go back and forth for me because I think, well,
7:15
this is the more interesting world, the Internet of watching videos as opposed to just regular life.
7:21
And you just get sucked into it because it's like I want to check out of this
7:25
matrix and get into the real world, which is the Internet.
7:28
When that's probably backwards, it's probably so backwards. but it's like, it's, it's fun.
7:34
It's entertaining on this, on this, this world, as opposed to regular life can
7:38
seems kind of monotonous and boring at times.
7:41
It doesn't seem as exciting, but maybe that's the twist in nature that I have.
7:46
Maybe you have a little bit of it as well.
7:48
I've just seen that like Tucker Carlson, he like, and he's what I kind of want
7:52
to focus on at first because, and this is another clip that of this,
7:57
that sit down that he had with the New York Times, there's been a lot of little
8:00
like clips that have come out.
8:03
I want to watch the whole thing beginning to end, but the clips that have come
8:07
out have been pretty insane. Let's check this one out.
8:09
This is regarding the Antichrist and Tucker Carlson calling Trump the Antichrist.
8:14
What I was saying, which is you
8:17
cannot mock other people's gods and put yourself in their place, period.
8:23
That is a deal killer for me. That's worse than the war with Iran, in my opinion.
8:26
Yeah. But I ask because, you know, you've been talking on your show about whether
8:30
Trump is the Antichrist.
8:31
I have not said that. On your show, the day after Easter, you noted he did not
8:36
put his hand on the Bible during his swearing in ceremony as president.
8:39
You said, and I'm quoting, maybe he didn't put his hand on the Bible because
8:42
he affirmatively rejects what's inside that book.
8:45
And then on a recent show, you went further saying, here's a leader who's mocking
8:48
the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods and exalting himself above
8:52
them. Could this be the Antichrist?
8:55
I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist? Here's a leader who's
8:59
mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods and exalting himself above them.
9:06
Could this be the Antichrist?
9:10
Who knows? I don't know where that comes from, but I know that those words never
9:13
left my lips because I'm not sure I fully understand what the Antichrist is if there's just one.
9:19
I actually tried to understand it.
9:21
I may have said some are asking that. I'm not weighing on.
9:25
Well, we clearly saw that he said he brought it up and he did say it.
9:29
But I mean, Tucker's getting up in age.
9:32
I've had my head rattled a couple of times, so I can't remember yesterday.
9:36
I have to really think about what happened yesterday. day what happened earlier
9:40
this morning i don't even so he and when you talk for a living you say a lot
9:44
of things which this is another thing was pretty insane to me when he brought up,
9:49
that he doesn't he ad-libs everything which is wild this is bonkers to me check this out.
9:57
Of publicly breaking with the president so uh i will say what i don't do monologues
10:03
that's ad-lib so that's just i didn't write it i don't have notes it's just
10:07
like that's how i feel so it's probably not as coherent as it should be.
10:11
I did not realize that. I thought he was reading off a prompter whenever he was going.
10:15
I thought he was actually just, the way he starts off his show,
10:19
his monologues, he's, because we know like Jesse Waters and him doing on Fox,
10:24
like they're going off a prompter.
10:26
I mean, I always just assumed that Tucker was at least reading what he wrote,
10:30
not necessarily like that someone else wrote it for him,
10:33
but I thought he was reading it because he the way he goes through and he weaves
10:37
things together so well which is pretty good that's that's good stuff i did
10:41
not realize that i mean that is that's almost leads into the nick fuentes vibe
10:46
because he we obviously know.
10:50
There's no, I don't know if there's ever been a prompter with Nick Fuentes.
10:54
And I, I just love the history of all these people. These three individuals
10:58
are just like increasingly more and more on my mind.
11:03
I think I just get into fixes into like certain people.
11:07
Those are the ones that I want to develop my content around.
11:09
Those are the ones that I'm thinking about. Those are the ones that are like
11:12
lightning rods for me for a while back.
11:15
I did like every video about Alex O'Connor.
11:17
Every video I was making because he was just like the points of view that he
11:21
was espousing. I wanted to challenge him.
11:24
It's not like you can listen to someone all the time. And it doesn't mean that
11:28
you are just that you you you like them a lot, but you don't agree with everything that they say.
11:34
And this is like kind of the rub with me that people think that just because
11:38
you that you're a fan of someone that you have to believe in like die on a hill
11:43
for everything that they say,
11:45
like be your own person like seriously do you
11:48
really like just because you like tucker carlson a lot or you
11:51
like candace owens a lot do you have to like defend them
11:54
like you're like stepping in like in front of a bullet for
11:57
them or something like that like everything that they do is like gold and pure
12:01
like like they're speaking the words of god like you can disagree even with
12:05
if you seriously like someone because that's for me i've i listen to these three
12:10
a lot and there's probably not any more people on the world that I disagree
12:14
with more than these three people.
12:17
I agree with him on certain things, but like the majority of my viewpoint,
12:21
I can be more refined and defined on what it is that I disagree with him on
12:27
because it's just like, be your own person.
12:31
It has turned into, even though people accuse Donald Trump of being like,
12:35
if you're not loyal to me, get out of here. I don't want to see your face.
12:39
Because that has been kind of like how Donald Trump is because everyone turns on him.
12:43
At some point, everyone turns on him. It seems like.
12:46
Mainly women a lot of times it's women and then they
12:49
go write a book and sell a book and all this but even guys
12:52
because i think it's like when you get a little
12:55
bit further away from them or away from him
12:58
it's like you start thinking oh i i am a conscious living
13:01
soul i can think clearly i can because that
13:04
you get mesmerized in their presence but this is what i
13:07
see so many people on the internet doing just because you
13:09
like someone doesn't mean that everything that they do and say you have to fight
13:15
blood tooth and nail for that that's kind of like where i'm going with this
13:19
because the people like the groipers and the people that are for tucker carlson
13:23
he's getting a lot of massive views and audience attention but it's like the people that are
13:29
like that go in waves like have to storm the capital i'm gonna fight for him
13:33
like he said everything was perfect
13:35
you you can't disagree or you know or we're gonna call you out like.
13:39
Are you are you a bot are you are you a bot are you are you an npc sir are you
13:45
are you living check your pulse or on the other side of the screen check your points are you real,
13:50
are you fake like seriously wake up
13:53
sir wake up don't be a fake stupid idiot you know like be real don't don't buy
14:00
into this don't be absorbed into the machine that you have to just defend whoever
14:04
it is that you think you're defending because they don't know your name do you
14:08
realize that the people that you're dying on a hill for,
14:10
they don't know your name and really they don't care.
14:13
And like, that's the mind shift that has to go with everyone.
14:15
I like, I like Donald Trump. Donald Trump doesn't know my name.
14:19
So I'm not going to defend everything he says. Like it's, like it's the words of Jesus. It's not.
14:25
These are, everybody is just real regular people.
14:28
They have, they have things that they believe are correct and they have things
14:31
they believe that are wrong.
14:32
And we're hopefully evolving to come to a writer, more correct position.
14:38
And what we believe and think.
14:40
And that that's what we're sharing with everyone.
14:43
But it's like, so many people are just like, they feel like bots.
14:46
And maybe it is that they are bots.
14:48
Maybe people, the things, because there are so many just AI,
14:52
like AI is just like completely flooded the internet. You don't know who it is.
14:56
Because I go back and forth when I think about like the identification on anything
15:00
you post or tweet, you know, or comment on.
15:04
Does that have to be your name? I guess there is that level of protection that people need to have.
15:10
Because if they're not protected, they can't speak anonymously.
15:13
Then they feel like they can't really speak but they
15:16
like at this point the government knows who you
15:19
are anyways whether you're anonymous or not the government knows who you are
15:25
so it's like who are we really protecting every every person like i would go
15:30
for this whoever's posting anything on the internet you need your picture your
15:35
identification i'm not maybe like that's crazy You know,
15:39
I think, I think I'm just getting the Tucker Carlson vibe where you just get
15:42
heated, you get flooded with, you know,
15:44
adrenaline and you're not speaking coherently or clearly I do that. I agree. I agree.
15:49
Cause I like, that's like, that is a good point because that I've made to myself.
15:53
I'm, I agree with you, Brandon.
15:55
I agree with you. That was a good point because what you think right now might
15:59
not be what you think in five minutes from now or 10 minutes from now or a year
16:03
from now, because everybody's changing. We're not all the same.
16:06
And I think so many people think
16:08
that their identity is in their political position. That's what they are.
16:12
I want to move over actually to Nick Fuentes and what he has been saying.
16:18
And whenever I looked up Candace Owens as well, like right when,
16:21
it seems like Nick is trying to get back into the good graces of Candace Owens.
16:27
And this is what, so Candace just put out, well, actually, let me jump over to what Candace put.
16:32
Because she tweeted out regarding the Daily Wire, I guess they had some layoffs,
16:35
they let a lot of people go.
16:37
She said, hearing that the Daily Wire laid off over 50% of their staff today,
16:41
as much as I positively despise what their execs put me and my family through,
16:45
There are a lot of good people that work there with families to feed who could use a prayer.
16:51
I am a sensible, reasonable person. And I really extend charity to so many people.
16:58
Like if someone says something, that's maybe why I'm a little bit naive and gullible.
17:04
Like because at one point I see what Candace Owens does and says,
17:07
and it seems like that she's being possessed by a demon.
17:10
But then when she posted like a picture or whatever of her going to her confirmation
17:16
in a church, uh, you know, speaking the name of Christ, but it's like,
17:20
just because you sometimes speak the name of Christ doesn't mean you're really
17:22
speaking the name of Jesus Christ.
17:25
You can sometimes just say his name, which who are you really referring to?
17:30
Because even Jesus said, there will be a lot of Christ that come in my name, that come in my name.
17:35
Like who's the real Jesus that you're pointing people towards.
17:38
And then she tweeted later, an update, I'm hearing it was more like 60% absolute
17:43
bloodbath about the Daily Wire and...
17:47
And then let's check this out this is what nick fuentes
17:50
put on his show last night i have not watched see like
17:53
i i like i like listening to nick fuentes i'm just like i don't know i'm okay
17:58
that sounded gay all right i like listening to nick fuentes you know i usually
18:02
save his videos till the next day you know to watch you know so i can watch
18:06
it you know and i don't really ever really watch him i just listen to him.
18:11
In the background, you know, usually it's like, he's like, um,
18:15
ASMR to me, you know, he's just kind of like somebody just doing the little
18:19
things on the microphone.
18:20
Really? Like, I'm, it's just like background noise to me because it's like,
18:24
it's a comforting voice. You know, you like probably regular people out there play.
18:28
Are you insane? Nick Fuentes, you know, the right wing extremist,
18:32
Christian white nationalist, that guy kind of, kind of, It's a weird, weird, weird deal.
18:38
And the more I listen to him, the more I respect him.
18:41
I don't necessarily agree with him. I probably disagree with him the more I
18:44
listen to him because that's the thing.
18:46
You can, because we're our own people. We're not all the exact same.
18:51
So we're going to find out as we listen to people, we don't have to like be like crazy nutsos.
18:56
No, they're going to support everything that somebody says just because you might like them.
19:00
But this is him responding to that about what Candace put out there.
19:03
It's Candace Owens who worked at the company until 2024.
19:06
Also commented on the layoffs at her former employer.
19:10
She hinted that at least 50% of the company staff was affected,
19:14
and that is yet to be confirmed.
19:16
She said, quote, hearing that the Daily Wire laid off over 50% of their staff today,
19:21
as much as I positively despise what their executives put me and my family through,
19:27
there are a lot of good people that work there with families to feed that could
19:29
use a prayer. She's a beast, dude. She's a total.
19:32
That's honestly quite gracious. You have to admit, that's pretty gracious for
19:36
her to say that because it's true. Daily Wire put her through hell.
19:39
The shenanigans that went on. The way Daily Wire stalked her, sued her.
19:44
And honestly, I'm not just simping. I'm not simping.
19:48
You are freaking simping, man. He is trying to get into her good graces.
19:53
He has said some nasty things about Candace Owens. We cannot forget that.
19:59
He has said some despicable, detestable things about Candace Owens.
20:03
Don't forget that. Don't let that go.
20:05
But I almost, I respect Nick because he's able to say these things.
20:10
He says the craziest things out there.
20:13
But then he understands we're just internetting too hard. That we're just saying
20:17
things because we're on the internet.
20:19
You know, we're not getting as much oxygen to our brain. We're in a room,
20:22
we're closed in, and you just kind of lose yourself a little bit. And that's what he does.
20:27
And he said some pretty nasty things about her.
20:30
But he understands if he met with Candace Owens now, that it's like,
20:34
we can sweep it under the rug.
20:35
We can laugh about it. It's not the end of the world. It's not as serious as
20:39
some people like to make it.
20:41
But he is simping. He is simping. Bing for Candace Owens, okay?
20:45
I'm just, listen, I call balls and strikes. That's what we do here. Fair and balanced.
20:50
Balanced is all things should be. Me and Candace, we've had our disagreements.
20:54
I'm madly in love with her. She doesn't agree. It's okay. It is what it is.
20:57
But like, but let's just be honest.
20:59
Daily Wire, this was super bizarre.
21:02
Do you remember earlier in the
21:03
year when Daily Wire had a Twitter account called The Candace Owens Show.
21:09
And they created like a parody show after they fired her.
21:12
And it was called The Candace Owens Show. And it used her face and likeness.
21:16
And they were doing episodes every week. And the show, which was their intellectual
21:20
property, and even featured like stuff they recorded with Candace,
21:24
they were putting it out every week, just attacking her, attacking her.
21:27
Her new show, her YouTube show, stuff like that.
21:30
That's just like deranged. That's just total psychopath. That's just not normal.
21:34
And only- Yeah, I don't know. I did not notice all that. But I do understand
21:39
what he's talking about regarding the just the Daily Wire are after her because
21:44
Candace Owens is she's a wizard.
21:47
She's you know, she's puts a spell on you. And I've said that before.
21:51
And honestly, I say things and then I feel bad about them.
21:55
That one really made me feel bad. Like whenever I go off camera,
21:58
whenever I go off screen, I feel bad about some of the things I say because
22:01
I don't want to misrepresent somebody. I don't want to just say put something
22:06
on them that's not really there.
22:08
But that's how I felt, felt because whenever I watch Candace Owens,
22:11
I have felt like that, like I'm in a trance, like that I, not necessarily like
22:18
I'm loving what I'm listening to.
22:20
She just has that Howard Stern effect where if you remember Howard Stern,
22:24
the people that disagree or hate Howard Stern were the ones that were listening
22:29
to him the hardest and for a lot more time.
22:33
They couldn't turn him off because they couldn't, what's the next thing you're going to say.
22:38
And I'm not like that with Candace Owens necessarily. There have been like things
22:42
that I had to like, step back, like, man, calm down.
22:44
Don't like, she, she, she, she doesn't have this power over you.
22:48
She doesn't have this control over you. Let go. Let her go.
22:52
Let her go, Jack. Let her go.
22:55
That's how I felt. I like, and I had to let her go. I had to let her go.
22:58
And I think I'm recouping. I'm like, I feel like I need to go to an AA meeting.
23:03
Like I've, hi, my name is Brandon.
23:05
I'm a, I'm a former Candace supporter or Candace, you know, alcoholic person.
23:10
You know, she's caused irreparable harm to me in my mind. I don't know what to do from here.
23:15
That's how I felt with her. Like I need to come out of the closet and just confess everything.
23:20
Like I've said, you know, at this point, I think I need to wear it as a badge
23:24
of honor. I listen to her show. She's very interesting.
23:27
I'm like, I'm not caught up on everything, you know, like I don't listen to her live.
23:32
I don't, I can't really listen to anyone live, honestly, because unless I,
23:37
unless I'm watching a high speed chase, I don't like to listen to stuff live.
23:40
I like to listen on the, on the backend, you know, and not know that,
23:44
you know, that they're live right now.
23:45
That's kind of, it's kind of spooky. And I almost want to get the full context
23:49
of what they've said, as opposed to jumping in and not knowing how did we get
23:53
here? How, at which point did we go off in this direction? Why are you talking about this, Candace?
24:00
It was, she's just, and I know I've jumped ahead to them, but there is kind
24:03
of like some, a crossing of the streams between Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes.
24:08
And then you throw Tucker Carlson into the mix and just these,
24:11
this, this, there's just this toxic almost relationship that they have going
24:16
all three of them, you know, because I, I see Candace Owens as kissing Tucker Carlson's ass so much.
24:22
It's not, I mean, it's in Tucker Carlson saying, I love Candace Owens.
24:26
And then Nick Fuentes saying that he can't stand like that. He can't stand Tucker Carlson.
24:31
And then he's like having this sexual tension between him and Candace Owens.
24:34
There's just so many different dynamics that are happening with these three. It's weird.
24:39
It's weird because it looked like all friendly, fun and games when Nick Fuentes
24:44
went on Tucker Carlson's show.
24:46
And then like within a week or two, pretty much a month, they completely fell
24:51
off and they were just going at each other's necks.
24:53
Nick I see as like almost a loyal person like
24:56
pretty much more loyal than these other
24:59
two but it's like if you cross him he comes
25:02
at you full like steam he will not let up he will punch you he will stomp on
25:08
your head when you're on the ground and make you look like a fool he will but
25:13
he's doing it as performative not necessarily what he really believes he's just doing a show baza.
25:21
But you know like it's like like he's a magician doing
25:24
all these things but he's not taking it seriously he's not
25:27
because like he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't you
25:30
know he loves me he loves me not he loves me he loves me not he takes it seriously
25:34
but he also knows that it's just the internet it's just like people are saying
25:37
crazy things like he goes back and forth like with his friend sneeko so much
25:40
like that when when they were talking about each other like it's just it's a
25:43
game and that's the weird thing about this because some people look at this
25:48
and they think it's the real deal.
25:50
And some people look at it and they like, they know it's fake.
25:53
But there's a lot of mixture of both.
25:57
It is kind of like, there was a weird time in my life. I remember I used to
26:01
like wrestling a lot. I still like wrestling. I just don't watch it as much as I used to.
26:05
And I remember probably when I was in middle school, I don't know what it was.
26:09
I just remember seeing something happen, and I was really pissed off.
26:13
Because Jeff Bagwell came out, and he had a neck brace on. He was in a wheelchair.
26:19
And someone beat him and threw him to the ground. And I was like, what the heck? man.
26:24
Looking back, I understand it was probably fake and set up, but at that time,
26:29
and I think that is the kind of like the realization I'm having.
26:32
Most people are looking at these things, these podcasters going toe to toe,
26:37
head to head, and they think it's the real deal. They think it's real.
26:41
It's an illusion, just like Washington, just like I'm talking about,
26:46
you know, Washington, D.C.
26:47
Or our Congress, you know, politics.
26:50
They're all on the same side.
26:52
They're all on the same side putting on a show and then they're going off and
26:56
having their champagne and caviar together when they're not on camera do and
27:00
but they they make it seem like they're at each other's throats,
27:03
but it can't but just because like it's
27:07
fake i mean it may be not be fake but it's fixed it's
27:09
fixed maybe more maybe more accurately it
27:13
would say it was fake it's because i know
27:15
in wrestling you say it's fixed it's not fake but in
27:18
maybe in podcasting and in this internet kind of arena know that everybody's
27:23
in and it's more almost fake than fixed but they are all doing a show they're
27:29
not really like necessarily always being who they are they're putting on like
27:33
a performative and like because i always thought like the people in the news networks.
27:38
How are we going to trust the news when it has to go through 20 people to whoever
27:42
goes out and you know, the real truth isn't coming out.
27:45
And we always thought independent media with podcasters, the truth would come
27:49
out because we're seeing them like live.
27:51
We're seeing them like unfiltered.
27:53
We're seeing, we're seeing the whole thing.
27:55
But most of these podcasters are showing you what they want you to see,
28:01
especially ones that record it and then put it out there as opposed to live. I do. I respect.
28:07
I think everything needs to be live. Otherwise, like I like Sean Ryan.
28:11
He's another name I throw in there. Like I like what he does,
28:14
but we're not seeing his his conversation in its entirety.
28:18
They're being edited. Even Joe Rogan. We're not seeing it all.
28:21
We're not seeing what everything happened because afterwards they're like,
28:24
well, that made you that made you sound kind of crazy and kind of dumb.
28:27
Maybe we'll scratch that.
28:29
And it's just they're feeding you something what they
28:31
want you to see as opposed to what the truth is i
28:35
think we can be like let's this is all the truth you
28:38
take what you will and i'm not locked in that i have to
28:41
be this forever i can change my viewpoint i can change what i think we're not
28:47
like we're not not we're not all just npcs there are some you know real playable
28:53
characters in this world you
28:55
know and i think the more that you kind of wake up, stop being a statue.
29:00
I have my daughter calling me. I don't know why she's calling me.
29:03
I'll have to call you later. I don't know if that noise is coming in through to you. Okay.
29:08
I told my, because I, even if you put stuff on, do not disturb it.
29:12
Like, like people, you know, your family will still come through,
29:15
but I know she's, I know she's safe. She's okay.
29:18
But we'll, I'll figure that out.
29:21
All right. Well, we'll wrap this up. I'm, I wanted to kind of get into these
29:25
three and kind of dissect them.
29:28
I, these are the ones that I care about the most. these are the ones that are interesting.
29:31
I hope they're not just a fad, you know, but it's like, no matter how high you
29:36
climb up the mountain, no matter how high you reach to the top.
29:40
If you don't come to it as I'm satisfied, I'm content, maybe not satisfied, but I'm content.
29:47
Be content as you're going up the mountain, whatever kind of thing you're going
29:52
through and you're striving towards, be content through it and enjoy the journey
29:57
because once you get to that
29:59
whatever you that mountaintop or that end of the rainbow you're
30:02
never going to be satisfied because there's always going to be something else
30:05
that you that you and if you compare yourself to others
30:08
you'll just feel like crap and and that has what i i found that like comparing
30:13
myself because that's what you naturally do like i want to i want to improve
30:17
myself so i want to see what other people who have been successful do it but
30:21
then you come away you're like man they're really good i suck and like you don't progress and grow.
30:26
I think it's just that we got to like have just a wise understanding of our
30:32
perspective and the way that we view the world. Because if we walk into everything
30:35
and we just think, I want what that person has, or I want this over here.
30:41
I want to be Tom Brady and I want a Super Bowl. Well, you get that Super Bowl.
30:44
The Super Bowl means nothing because you just want the next one.
30:47
And it's like, you want the next one.
30:48
You want to go higher. And then
30:50
you feel like utterly defeated and like crushed. if you fall a few pegs.
30:54
I think we can, you know, this isn't the end-all be-all. We're all growing. We're all striving.
31:00
And I think what is, for me, it's been really toxic is that a lot of people think.
31:06
There's just no graciousness in this kind of environment because everyone's
31:11
cutthroat, even though everybody's on their own doing their own thing.
31:14
People don't want other people to succeed. I don't ever want to be a person
31:18
because I have had times in my life where I wanted something not to go well for someone.
31:23
And then like, and I got it like they didn't go well for them.
31:26
And then right after that, like terrible things happened to me.
31:29
I don't believe in karma, but I do believe in God and God can use what we consider as karma.
31:37
To kind of teach us a lesson. So it's like, if you have evil in your heart, which we all do,
31:42
and we all need to snuff it out, we don't want to let it grow or infest or circulate
31:48
throughout our body, we need to stop it. We need to cut it off.
31:53
Pluck that eye out. Cut off that arm. Don't let it spread.
31:58
We need to stop it because if we don't, we will be eaten up by evil and hatred.
32:03
And I think that's the biblical mandate.
32:06
Right sin is crouching at the door don't let it have mastery over you all right
32:10
we'll leave it at that these three are interesting what do you all think are
32:13
these three people in your world at all let me know drop a comment smash that
32:18
like button and have a good rest of your weekend see y'all.
