[00:01:28]  I'm going to say something to you that is rather axiomatic, pretty obvious, but I'm going to say it nonetheless.
[00:01:35]  Nobody cares about celebrity opinions.
[00:01:38]  Nobody.
[00:01:39]  Nobody.
[00:01:41]  I mean, there are some conservative types who have opinions, but we don't, I throw myself to it, we don't believe in the particular underlying ideology because a conservative We say, oh, that's interesting.
[00:01:54]  He thinks the way I do.
[00:01:56]  I don't know anybody who said, you know, I never really understood this politics thing until I heard Lee Greenwood or until Kid Rock said something.
[00:02:05]  Now I understand.
[00:02:06]  Now, Elon Musk is a different story.
[00:02:08]  That's a different kettle of fish.
[00:02:11]  But you know what I love more than anything else?
[00:02:12]  I love an obvious poll.
[00:02:14]  I like studies that are commissioned to point out the obvious.
[00:02:19]  There is a recent AP NORC, N-O-R-C, the National Opinion Research Center.
[00:02:28]  I know they've got a hell of a team this year.
[00:02:30]  But a recent AP NORC poll, sounds like North Pole, NORC, sounds like the way some people say NORC.
[00:02:38]  A NORC poll reveals that most Americans, particularly Republicans, get this, are, to put it mildly, Uninterested in hearing political opinions from supposed celebrities and professional athletes and the like.
[00:02:59]  Now the survey conducted by the Associated Press in collaboration with the University of Chicago's NORC highlights a significant I'm understanding a divide along party lines regarding public figures' involvement in political discourse.
[00:03:23]  Now, listen to this.
[00:03:24]  While just under 40% of Democrats expressed approval just under 40% expressed approval of celebrities sharing their political views, only 11% of Republicans And 12% of independents agreed.
[00:03:48]  What does that mean?
[00:03:50]  It means they're more independent.
[00:03:53]  They're more sure of what they believe in.
[00:03:56]  They don't need some Taylor Swift or Oprah, whoever it is, telling you what they think.
[00:04:03]  40% for Democrats, 11% and 12% for Republicans and independents.
[00:04:08]  Our response is regarding...
[00:04:10]  Professional athletes followed a similar trend.
[00:04:14]  39% of the gullible Democrats giving a damn and approving of athletes who were voicing political ideology compared to 16% of Republicans and 15% of Independentism.
[00:04:28]  I find that fascinating.
[00:04:30]  That may be one of the biggest problems between us.
[00:04:33]  Now, throughout the 2024 election, many Many, many, many, many, many conservative commentators reiterated almost to the point of almost like a rote recitation.
[00:04:47]  Their indifference towards celebrity endorsements.
[00:04:50]  In fact, their contempt of anything.
[00:04:52]  Arguing, many of them said that such opinions do not resonate or in any way impact upon the opinions or the policies regarding middle and lower classes.
[00:05:03]  And the sentiment, the idea, and the thought This underscores a broader skepticism, to put it mildly, among Republicans about the political influence of public figures.
[00:05:14]  You know, what does it matter in the first place?
[00:05:16]  I think this is incredible.
[00:05:18]  The poll also sheds a mind, I like this, on broader trends in media consumption.
[00:05:22]  Now dig this.
[00:05:24]  With 65% of respondents indicating a desire to reduce their intake of 60-65% indicated a desire to reduce the intake
[00:05:54]  of this nonsense.
[00:05:55]  Additionally, 50% said that overseas conflicts is a factor and 40% Pointed to the economy and climate change as reasons for cutting back on news consumption.
[00:06:10]  It's very interesting.
[00:06:11]  It's almost like saying the subject matter makes me want to pull back.
[00:06:16]  You know, all that foreign stuff.
[00:06:18]  I don't want to talk about that there foreign stuff, so I want to cut back on the consumption because of maybe the subject matter?
[00:06:25]  And the findings suggest a growing fatigue, an ennui, an ennui Christian soldiers, an ennui of boredom.
[00:06:33]  With political commentary and analysis particularly from and specifically from non-traditional sources such as celebrities and athletes and influencers and the like highlighting what many people believe to be a significant and broader shift among the American population who frankly don't give a damn one way or another.
[00:06:56]  But the most important thing to remember is that Democrats Think about this.
[00:07:03]  This is the most important.
[00:07:03]  Let me go back to this one particular.
[00:07:05]  This fascinates me.
[00:07:09]  40% have approval.
[00:07:13]  They approve of celebrities sharing this.
[00:07:17]  And actually, look forward to it.
[00:07:19]  40% with 11% of Republicans and 12% of Independents thinking the same thing.
[00:07:24]  What does that tell you?
[00:07:25]  What does that tell you?
[00:07:26]  It means, very simply, that we don't care what they have to say.
[00:07:32]  Think about this.
[00:07:33]  Which celebrity person do you not care about?
[00:07:40]  Or sports person?
[00:07:41]  Colin Kaepernick?
[00:07:42]  Robert De Niro?
[00:07:43]  Whoopi?
[00:07:44]  Sonny Hostage?
[00:07:46]  Whoever these people are.
[00:07:48]  Barbra Streisand?
[00:07:49]  How about Tom Hanks?
[00:07:51]  George Clooney.
[00:07:53]  That made an effect, didn't it?
[00:07:54]  Wasn't that important?
[00:07:55]  Huh?
[00:07:57]  George Clooney.
[00:07:59]  Dear God.
[00:08:03]  We despise these people.
[00:08:05]  It's official.
[00:08:07]  You know what else is official?
[00:08:08]  You're not going to believe this.
[00:08:08]  Here's a stat I still can't believe.
[00:08:12]  87%.
[00:08:12]  87% of people who watch my videos never subscribe.
[00:08:20]  And I'm sure it's not the same for me.
