#91 - Has the Trumpian Monarchy Already Begun? · Brandon Fogal Evolution

• 0:00
  Has the Trump, the Trumpian monarchy begun?
• 0:04
  Yesterday, Trump hinted at a third term. He was asked about it and he didn't
• 0:10
  immediately discount it.
• 0:11
  He didn't immediately say, no way, no how, but you'd expect that from Donald Trump.
• 0:17
  He is a master at sucking up all the oxygen and always having the headlines be him.
• 0:26
  He's great at that. He's wonderful at that. My name is Brandon Fogle.
• 0:30
  This is Evolution. Let's get into it.
• 0:32
  But actually, before we do that, ushers, please lock the doors, lock the doors.
• 0:37
  No one is leaving. If anyone is in here, no one's leaving until I got to raise
• 0:41
  $40,000 before anyone leaves this channel.
• 0:45
  April fools, April fools. I don't know if you've caught that.
• 0:48
  There was a viral video of a preacher, a pastor that said he locked the doors.
• 0:54
  He said, no one's leaving the
• 0:56
  congregation until I raise of $40,000 or whatever number he had out there.
• 1:00
  And it's, if you're ever in that situation, I would leave. Even if they're locking
• 1:04
  the doors, I would still try to walk out. All right.
• 1:07
  But let's dive into the news of Trump is just sucking up the airwaves yesterday.
• 1:13
  And whether or not it's constitutional or not, he says something that's going to drive people wild.
• 1:20
  There's one little tidbit he says in, and we're going to take a look at exactly
• 1:24
  what he says, But there's one little nugget in there.
• 1:28
  And I'm going to leave it to you. If you can pick up on it, what's going to
• 1:31
  drive people the wildest in what he says. But we're going to take a look at that real fast.
• 1:36
  All right. Here's Donald Trump yesterday being asked by reporters whether he
• 1:40
  would consider a third term. People are asking me to run and there's a whole
• 1:44
  story about running for a third term. I don't know. I never looked into it.
• 1:48
  They do say there's a way you can do it, but I don't know about that,
• 1:51
  but I have not looked into it. I want to do a fantastic job.
• 1:54
  We have four years, just about almost close to four years. OK, so there he goes.
• 2:00
  He puts it out there. And I wondered if you all can pick up on that,
• 2:03
  what he said. He said, we don't know.
• 2:05
  He doesn't just immediately just discount it. He just says, we don't know.
• 2:09
  There's scholars looking into it. There's scholars looking into it.
• 2:12
  And is it constitutionally viable?
• 2:16
  And no matter how much of a Trump supporter I am, you know, and I've been a
• 2:22
  Trump supporter from the beginning.
• 2:24
  I've been from the beginning. I wanted him to be president, you know, and he wasn't as...
• 2:31
  You know, polarizing when he first came down that golden escalator.
• 2:34
  He wasn't as polarizing as he is now.
• 2:36
  But even then, I wanted him because the things he was saying,
• 2:39
  building up to his first presidential run, I wanted him to be president.
• 2:43
  But he knows how to get all the cameras constantly looking at him.
• 2:48
  He knows how to drive the headlines. He knows how to drive the narrative.
• 2:52
  And he knows what's going to drive people crazy.
• 2:55
  Now, whether this is constitutionally viable, Looking at it,
• 2:58
  I would say in hearing about scholars of the Constitution that it is not.
• 3:03
  Apart from an amendment to the Constitution, this is not possible.
• 3:09
  And you could say people try to, you know, try to because lawyers are good at,
• 3:15
  you know, expanding that area of doubt, you know, and trying to wiggle their way in there.
• 3:21
  Could they so could anything happen? Anything could happen. And,
• 3:24
  you know, somebody could try to find, I mean, the document is a living document.
• 3:28
  The Constitution is a living document as anything, you know,
• 3:32
  as anything, you know, there was an original context, but, you know,
• 3:34
  we can interpret it, you know, for our day and age, but we do have to find out
• 3:38
  what the original authors meant and the things that they wrote.
• 3:42
  But based on what we have right now, I don't think, and I don't think it's really
• 3:45
  going to change, you know?
• 3:47
  So they're saying, could he find a way of having Vance run and have Vance be
• 3:53
  the president and just hand it over to Trump so he serves out another term?
• 3:58
  Even that, I heard that it's not really possible.
• 4:03
  You can't, because to be a vice president, you have to be eligible to be president.
• 4:10
  And so could Trump next cycle as when the politics game really turns on,
• 4:14
  could he just kind of say, I'm going to sit back, let Vance do his thing.
• 4:18
  And really, everybody knows that they're electing Trump because they know Vance
• 4:23
  is just going to hand it over to Trump to serve out that third term.
• 4:26
  Even that does not seem like it is really a credible possibility.
• 4:31
  But Trump, even knowing this, and I always think Trump, he knows everything that's happening.
• 4:38
  He knows what the reality is, but he also knows what's going to drive everyone crazy.
• 4:43
  His first presidential run he basically
• 4:47
  took over a billion dollars worth of free
• 4:50
  media footage and was able just to not even
• 4:53
  spend a penny and have his just face be out there
• 4:55
  and all everybody constantly be talking about him because it doesn't matter
• 5:00
  how much you like someone really when someone's running for president a lot
• 5:05
  of time it's just you recognize the name you recognize the person you know you're
• 5:09
  not everybody's not a political junkie and every and into every issue and what
• 5:14
  they're talking about the news.
• 5:15
  Most people don't do that. I would say 80% of the country does not,
• 5:20
  is not even concerned whatsoever about politics. They don't care, you know?
• 5:24
  They're not, they're not as dumb to vote just who their pop star,
• 5:29
  the person that they love is going to vote for.
• 5:31
  People are, and I think we learned that from the last election,
• 5:34
  even though the big mega stars out there were vehemently against president Trump,
• 5:40
  people are not as just hook, line and sinker and drinking all the Kool-Aid of
• 5:46
  who they, who they love as a singer or who they love as a, an actor or whoever's in Hollywood.
• 5:52
  They're not just going to, you know, just blindly follow what they believe.
• 5:57
  People are waking up. And as we have constant access to anything that's happening
• 6:02
  across the world at any given moment, because we do by the phone,
• 6:07
  by a phone we have in our hand, in our pocket, we can just open it up and see
• 6:10
  exactly what's happening.
• 6:11
  You know, you got it. You have to have a little bit of wisdom to discern what's really going on.
• 6:17
  But everyone has access to the information. and Trump was always amazing.
• 6:23
  You cannot discount him on this. You cannot just say he was stupid at the way
• 6:28
  he ran his campaign because he was always in front of people.
• 6:31
  He was always the headlines.
• 6:32
  It doesn't matter when you're a polarizing figure and this goes into the fact
• 6:36
  that do you really need everyone to like you?
• 6:39
  I mean, even you personally in your life and what you're going through and what
• 6:43
  you have going on, the crew you run with, the daily life that you find yourself
• 6:48
  in and what you're going through, do you really need everyone to like you?
• 6:51
  Is it the end of the world if everyone doesn't like you?
• 6:56
  I would rather have a couple people that love me than a thousand people that like me.
• 7:03
  I would rather find who out there is really, who I would want to go to battle
• 7:09
  with, who I would want to be in a foxhole with, who has really,
• 7:13
  you know, got my back and who I got their back.
• 7:17
  So it's like, we don't need to be just like this fluff of just liking somebody
• 7:21
  and saying the right things. Who cares? I mean, who, who really cares?
• 7:25
  You know, I don't want to be obnoxious about anything.
• 7:28
  And I don't think many people, there are some people that don't care that much
• 7:32
  that they'll just be in your face.
• 7:34
  That goes into the wearing a MAGA hat, you know, like I would say,
• 7:39
  go out there and wear a MAGA hat, but like they made it such an evil thing that
• 7:42
  you got to be, you're wearing a swastika on your head if you're wearing a MAGA hat.
• 7:48
  So it's like, find the people that love you and be who you are.
• 7:53
  That's the biggest thing I would say.
• 7:55
  Authenticity is what really is going to matter in the end. It is what really
• 7:59
  matters now. Don't bend over backwards.
• 8:03
  That's just like this corporate hoo-ha that we every day find ourselves in.
• 8:07
  Whatever you're in, it's just you got to say whatever's right.
• 8:10
  You got to say whatever is socially acceptable as opposed to,
• 8:14
  if someone asks you, you don't need to be blurting it out, whatever you think you can, if you want.
• 8:19
  But if someone asks you what you really believe on something,
• 8:22
  who cares? Let them know, be who you are to the core, to the fullest sense of the word.
• 8:27
  Don't be just someone that is just milquetoast. Be someone that is, you know.
• 8:32
  I might repulse people, but I might get people that think the way that I think
• 8:38
  and care about the things that I care about to come alongside me and to be with me.
• 8:43
  You know, maybe that's not the best thing to just gain a whole following and
• 8:47
  gain everybody's attention to make sure everybody loves you.
• 8:50
  But you're going to do, I would say you can do what Donald Trump did,
• 8:54
  you know, and just be that polarizing figure,
• 8:57
  that you're going to really weed out the ones that would turn on you at the
• 9:03
  drop of a hat, because people will just turn on you.
• 9:06
  And we found that we found that by you'll find that in your daily life.
• 9:11
  You will find that when the, when the stuff hits the fan, when the stuff hits
• 9:16
  the fan, you will find who your true friends are. You'll always find it.
• 9:21
  So saying Trump, is he going to be, is this the beginning of a monarchy?
• 9:26
  I would say it would have to be, it would have to be a, at the beginning of
• 9:30
  a monarchy because constitutionally it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen.
• 9:36
  I don't think he can, you know, lawyers can do amazing things.
• 9:41
  Lawyers can do amazing things. And they, you know, people might like a.
• 9:45
  A site like to just rats as
• 9:48
  opposed to lawyers lawyers can be also pretty nasty vicious
• 9:51
  dudes but they're they're able to find
• 9:54
  it go into whatever's happening and just find out how can i find a loophole
• 10:00
  how can i find some gray area to make my argument stand and they might be able
• 10:07
  to do something like that nefarious you know i wouldn't put it past lawyers
• 10:11
  but i do stand on the Constitution.
• 10:13
  Whatever the Constitution says, let's get on board with it.
• 10:17
  Because the Constitution is what keeps us intact. It is the glue that holds
• 10:22
  the American people together.
• 10:24
  So let's not be too devoid of just drinking the Kool-Aid.
• 10:30
  And even if you love Trump saying, hey, we can make him, get him a third term,
• 10:35
  you know, unless we're going to amend the Constitution, which is,
• 10:38
  you know, always a possibility.
• 10:39
  I don't think it's likely, but I would say that is the only possibility that
• 10:45
  Trump could go into a third term legally, legally.
• 10:50
  That's the only way he's going to serve a third term because the way that it
• 10:55
  stands right now, unless he, you know, he gets out the scepter and he, and he declares,
• 11:01
  I am King, you know, and I, I would not put it past Donald Trump to just,
• 11:07
  he just trolls everyone, he trolls everyone all the time.
• 11:13
  And that's why he draws people to him and he draws other people that hate him
• 11:16
  to him because they can't take their eyes off of him. He has definitely cooled down this term.
• 11:21
  I would say he's definitely cooled down. He's not as bombastic and just outlandish
• 11:28
  as in saying the things that he said, you know, becoming president and even
• 11:33
  before his presidency, because he knew how to get attention.
• 11:36
  That's why everybody's always looking at him because he's interesting and he's
• 11:39
  going to say stuff that's going to piss you off.
• 11:41
  And he's going to say stuff that's that people get on board with and love,
• 11:44
  you know, both sides, both sides.
• 11:46
  You need hot air and cold air to start a tornado.
• 11:50
  You need both of that, you know? So the people that just are breathing fire
• 11:55
  because they can't stand Trump, you know, I think it's shifted a little bit,
• 11:59
  you know, he's our president now.
• 12:01
  I think it's cooled a little bit because now people's just attention is solely
• 12:05
  on Elon Musk. and he's now the evil man in the room.
• 12:08
  He's the person that has, because he's the one that made it possible for Trump
• 12:14
  to legitimately become president again.
• 12:18
  Elon Musk, the tables have turned on Elon Musk.
• 12:21
  And the day of rage that we had this past weekend, I didn't hear much more about it, you know?
• 12:27
  Which is, I would say, credit to the Trump administration stepping in and squelching
• 12:33
  that whole, everybody get on board and just set the whole nation on fire by
• 12:40
  burning Teslas and all that.
• 12:41
  I didn't hear much of it. You know, there was still stuff that happened,
• 12:45
  but not as much as they wanted to build up and get going.
• 12:48
  So what do you all think? Do you think that Trump should run as president again?
• 12:54
  Do you think that is a viable option? I leave that to you.
• 12:58
  Apart from him becoming king, I don't see it as a viable option.
• 13:02
  Keep evolving and become the best version of you.
