Oh, very remarkable.
Stay tuned.
Because he was clearly drunk and the energy was just high and he was just like, hey, hey, you.
Hey man!
And I was like, oh shit, it's Omar Hassan.
And he's like, I'm Omar.
I'm like, I know who you are, man.
But it was just so funny.
He was just like, I just think you're great.
Just got a lot of respect for you, you know?
What would he be from?
Like, Twitter?
I mean, Instagram?
Probably when I worked at the skate shop for a minute.
Like I've like met him at different like events, but he's like a little very briefly.
Very brief, but just like when I was doing skate stuff when I was like working for the skate shop, I met him at like a couple premieres and stuff.
And I would like talk to him because he was working for Vans for a moment, but I don't.
There's no reason for him to remember me.
Yeah, that's funny.
He probably thought you were someone else.
Yeah, it was great though.
It was so, it was so funny.
Cause like Nick and his friend were just like standing on the back, just like watching like what's happening right now.
And it went on for like 10 minutes.
He's like, yo, I just wanted to tell you, I appreciate all the hard work you're doing in r slash red scare.
Uh, I think it's great.
You're a real blessing to the community and just a positive force in the world.
If you need anything, I'll, Hey, listen, I'll boo, I'll signal boost you.
You know, I'll, I'll, I'll go in there.
You got any problems, huh?
Any twinks talking about killing you in your sleep?
Give me a ring.
We'll raid them.
We'll get them raided.
Alright, I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
We're Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
One of the most unholy unions this world has ever seen, Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, is responsible, and we're documenting it.
What's up, everybody?
I hope everybody's doing well.
We're back.
We're doing well here.
Still busy as all get out, but...
We're doing good.
Thanks for all the well wishes.
Good to be back, but I do hate to come back with such bad news because, you know, other than the health and well-being of Tony and myself and our, you know, immediate families, just the worst ever has happened.
The Super Bowl is an op, folks.
God damn it.
God damn it.
It's fake.
It's fake.
It is, obviously.
It's not real.
Obviously it's fake.
It's all fake.
What was your first clue, Tony?
I mean, I gave up on it a long time ago.
I thought, you know, it was, it was definitely when, I can't think it was your bowl that a thing happened at.
I can.
That's where I started.
Katy Perry Sharks?
What's that?
The Katy Perry Sharks is why I knew it was all an op.
That's why I knew it was fake.
You're like, this is too, there's something about the sophistication.
I knew when it was fake, when my favorite football team, the Buffalo Bills, didn't get to the Super Bowl, even though clearly they were the best team that year, 2007.
Yeah.
Bullshit.
Very clearly.
The system is rigged.
We've been known the NFL was rigged.
Yeah, nothing new here.
Yeah, conservatives are pretty late to this now.
But yeah, this is the end point of where we are with Taylor Swift madness.
We're gonna rewind and look at how we got here, but... Yeah, just like a great little example here is Benny Johnson, who's like a...
You know, a TPUSA cool meme guy that we've talked about a few times on here.
Just what a wonderful tweet from this guy.
The NFL is rigged.
And then he shared a meme that says, give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.
There it is.
God damn it.
I knew this was not like a new thing.
I knew we've been told about this a long time ago.
And Juvenile said that?
Was that in Beckett?
Was that in slow motion?
I think that was in slow motion.
It was the ancient Greek philosopher, or the Roman historian, Juvenile.
Whatever the fuck that is.
Hey, there it is.
Okay.
Uh, yeah, and then the meme shows, like, how an NFL stadium looks like a Roman Colosseum.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Didn't, like, Rome have the circuses, and the Empire still fell?
You know, that doesn't seem to maybe be the best plan, if that's the, oh, we'll just give them NFL until the world cooks, but I mean, you know, that, I don't know.
Well, that's why, but that's why NFL players are the new slaves.
Mmm, you know cuz they use slave entertainment back then and that's it's the same thing for the NFL and and Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know how I think that the Roman Empire never really did fall I think it's actually they they went underground.
I think the Roman Empire fell it fell on us you know Italians yeah exactly That's where pizza came from that's why it's flat Yeah, it's so funny to be, like, online.
Like, your entire identity is online.
And you're looking at, like, one game a year, one football game a year, and you're, like, sheep.
Yeah.
For tuning in, for turning on the TV for, what, four hours during a party, usually, as opposed to just staring at your phone all day, every day.
Pretty funny.
Yeah.
I mean, I've always been a fan of the Super Bowl party.
Never been a fan of the Super Bowl.
But I've been a fan of the Super Bowl party.
I think that's fine.
Yeah.
I've been a real big fan of the Super Bowl restaurant.
Super Bowl restaurant with like a buffet going.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe your stepdad paid for it because he rented out eight tables for him and all his friends and family to watch the Super Bowl at half of Taco Mike's or whatever.
I would love to watch Super Bowl at Shakey's.
Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Jesus Christ.
Too bad you can only watch Fox News there.
It's unfortunate.
Weird move.
Yeah, give them bread and circuses.
Your job is a meme or memester, Benny Johnson.
Yeah.
Do not try to scrape together some sort of dignity here.
And then the reply, yeah, gets even more concrete.
Taylor Swift is an op.
It's all fake.
You're being played.
And it's a photograph of a Barnes & Noble magazine section where every cover is Taylor Swift.
I don't even know if it's like that would just be like a Taylor Swift display, right?
I guess not.
It could.
It just doesn't say Taylor Swift.
I don't think it's even real.
Why?
Because most of these magazines are called Taylor.
Or Taylor Swift.
Okay, you're right.
I didn't... I didn't care enough to, like... See, that's the difference.
The difference is I got fooled because I didn't care, alright?
I'm not gonna then, like, get mad at the fake magazines.
You got me, fair enough.
I guess he's right.
This is all fake.
Yes, Taylor Swift is not.
This picture is fake.
You're being played the person looking at this picture.
Yeah, they're all fake magazines called Taylor Swift.
And two of them are still the same magazine cover.
They couldn't even make another one.
Yeah, well this looks like actually photoshopped.
It looks actually photoshopped as opposed to AI generated because all the wording and stuff is coherent and So yeah, like you can see other signs in the background that say science and nature but um Taylor Swift is an op.
Even if this were real, what does that mean?
Oh, I think I know what it means.
Magazines like to sell copies.
And they've caught you in their dastardly web.
Do not fall for it.
Do not buy magazine.
I don't know about you, but I was raised to never buy those like end cap magazines.
Like you don't need to buy the Times Beatles edition.
No, you don't buy those.
So yeah, don't buy these magazines.
And like, what do they mean by fake?
The thing is, whether you like it or not, her music does exist.
Matter of fact, there's two versions of most of her songs.
You can go.
You can go see her.
You can go watch her.
You can pay a lot of money to go see her live.
She is real.
It's just funny to be like, what is the op?
It would be the world's most successful op if the CIA or the FBI or somebody somehow groomed Taylor Swift or planted Taylor Swift It would be one of the greatest successes in history for zero reason.
Why would it matter?
Are there messages in her songs?
Is she responsible for the Stanley Cups?
If you play her music backwards, are they saying to buy Stanley Cups?
The Stanley Cup thing is crazy.
I love the Stanley Cup thing.
You said Stanley Cup in passing on, like, an episode, I don't know, a month ago or something, and I hadn't heard about the Stanley Cup thing, and I thought you meant, like, the hockey trophy, you know?
Yeah, I remember being pure like that.
I remember thinking that.
And I was just like, okay.
Well, I remember Stanley.
Like, we do have a Stanley thermos, and my dad has it.
Growing up, we had Stanley camping gear and shit.
Well, check it for lead.
Right.
I heard that part of it, too.
No, I was so confused.
So it's just like a cool new tumbler, like instead of a tumbler, now it's a different thing?
I don't know.
Well, it doesn't even matter anymore because you discover it too late because it's not cool anymore.
Right.
Because it gives you lead poisoning.
Well, no, because the Gen Z's were liking it like that, that the 20-sums were liking it.
And so the younger than them were liking it.
But then the 20-sums mom started liking it.
So now the 20-sums don't like it.
So now the young kids don't like it.
So it's already over.
But it's still just poisoning or not.
It's already over.
Still just a thermos, right?
Like it's still just a cup.
And it's not even a good one.
It's top heavy.
You can it spills.
There's a straw.
Looks like a coffee thermos you bought at Target.
And so many other so many other water bottles are more efficient than that.
You can't even smoke weed out of it like this one.
That's true.
Yeah, this is, this was, so like what's the evidence of the Super Bowl being an op?
Really kind of hard to find.
This, this one stood out though.
This Benny Johnson tweet about bread and roses, by the way, has, or bread and circuses, has 50,000 likes.
Caroline here has another example of how the Super Bowl is rigged.
February 13th, 2022, the L.A.
Rams won the Super Bowl.
Eleven days later, we're seeing what colors literally everywhere to support global conflict?
Blue and yellow.
Tell me the Super Bowl isn't just predictive programming.
The L.A.
Rams are Nazis?
The LA Rams are Ukrainian.
They're Azov battalion.
Yes.
Oh my God.
This is huge.
Not all Ukrainians are Nazis.
Just want to say that.
Yes.
Just to clarify.
Yeah.
Just the ones that are wearing the patches.
Those are the only ones I'm claiming are.
Yeah.
Tell me the Super Bowl.
They can take the patch off.
It has Velcro.
They can just take it off whenever they want.
They won't be a Nazi anymore.
Tell me the Super Bowl isn't just predictive progress.
See the colors.
The colors, Tony, are the same.
That's nuts.
Uh, yeah.
That's, that's, that says a lot.
I mean, but this one is getting like, I've had some normal people be like, so what's up?
What do you think?
You think the Super Bowl's rigged?
It's pretty crazy, right?
Because it is like too good to be true that Taylor Swift's boyfriend Whose team was like already a Super Bowl winning team recently.
Right.
Yeah.
Very recently.
Yeah.
And they're like, but they weren't doing excellent and they made it all the way to the Super Bowl.
This is too good to be true.
And like the ratings are going up because people just want to see her in the sky box.
And it's like, sure.
We become so cynical that we can't even comprehend what the love of a beautiful woman will do for a football team.
It's absolutely true.
Like, it's obvious why they're doing better.
They were already good.
Then, you know, she's just shown up and been just a light.
A light for everyone.
I, however, don't respect her.
I think she's a Fairweather fan.
If she had gotten with him before he had won the Super Bowl already, you know, I could be convinced, I guess.
True.
I just want what's best for him.
It is extremely funny that, yeah, there's like a Super Bowl country pop singer Celebrity mega mega celebrity couple and yeah, and they're just the enemies of the right wing Yeah, cuz like you think they'd be so bad it cuz he's like this like, you know Corn-fed white boy and she's like this pure beautiful milkmaiden and like you think that'd be so about it, but because they're like
Pretty normal besides being green or crazy rich people.
They're like pretty normal.
They don't have anything like they're not saying wild shit about trans people or anything like that.
They hate him.
Yeah.
Well, there's yes.
And that that is that is essentially it that they're more normal, like slightly more normal than your average conservative.
But no, Travis Kelsey, he did vaccination commercials, so they hate him for getting vaccinated and telling other people.
Yeah.
And then they hate Taylor Swift just because she's like an extremely popular young woman.
She's an extremely popular young woman who's very popular among women and also just a pretty standard millennial Democrat.
Don't they, like, also think that she's like a slut because she's had a bunch of boyfriends because all her songs are about different boyfriends?
That was some of that.
Isn't that some of it?
Some of the few.
So some of the few criticisms I saw in the Fox News comment section, because Fox News loves reporting on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, just like everybody does.
And some of the most everybody there will get into.
We'll get into it in just a second.
A lot of people there were like, I don't fucking care.
Please stop.
Please stop trying to psyop us into caring about.
That's what the psyop is, folks.
The psyop is to get you to buy things.
It's to get you to care more about things so that you might purchase something.
And the thing is, there is a PSYOP, except for it's not a PSYOP.
It's just marketing.
It's just the NFL and all the people who broadcast their sports realizing that you kind of care about this.
So they are putting it out there like that's it's not a PSYOP.
It's just marketing.
It's just what these things are.
It's just capitalism.
I've said I've said it before, but conservatives have been and still are in their hot topic phase.
Like, they've created their own counterculture that exists in reaction to the popular culture, you know?
Like, conservative shirts are essentially like a cross between millennial snarkiness and, um, you laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same.
Essentially.
And, except if that's about, like, whether gay people should be able to get married.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And that's, that's why the reaction to Taylor Swift, who's just the popular girl.
She's the popular kid.
They're, they're just like identifying themselves in contrast with the popular kid.
And it's very funny.
Like she's not even that outwardly Democrat.
She's like, no, she's like, uh, Thrown her support behind some senators who ended up losing anyway.
She's done get out the vote campaigns, but those aren't strictly partisan like you.
They could play it off and some of them are like a clip.
I'll play from Sean Hannity later.
You could play it off like she's not.
You're your enemy, but you have you.
Why do they do this?
Why do they pick these enemies?
Why would you pick like the most one of the most popular celebrities in the world to be your enemy?
It is so interesting, and it is just because, like, I don't know, maybe they see her as like, because she is so popular that she is a waste.
Like, what a waste of what a waste of an Aryan, you know, like she could be a mouthpiece for the for change.
And instead, she's like she's kowtowing to the minorities.
Totally.
But and that gets back to the op thing, like what they again with this like hot topic mindset is like, Some criticism of consumerism that's returned back to the right wing.
They'll pick and choose which corporations are the woke corporations that are then eligible to be criticized for your consumption or whatever.
They do think she is wielding an insane amount of power to shape the narrative by which We would just mean she's saying I like abortion rights, I like reproductive rights, you know?
An insane conspiracy theory that I've seen in like a specific conspiracy theory that I've seen about her, it was put forward by like Cernovich and Laura Loomer, is that Taylor Swift made a deal with George Soros to get her old masters back in exchange for registering Gen Z voters.
But that's, she didn't, her whole thing is that that didn't happen, right?
Right.
That's her entire thing.
That's what Taylor's version is, right?
Right.
I didn't even know that until today, because I was looking into this conspiracy theory, and then it said something about her being allowed to re-record her old albums, and I was like, oh, that's why she did all this, so she could just have her own masters again.
Crazy.
So yeah, George Soros family helped facilitate the deal of some media publishing group that bought the rights to her first six albums, the masters of her first six albums, apparently without Offering her, you know, first right of refusal to like buy her own music back or whatever.
And so she's, she was like pretty publicly, uh, you know, whatever, uh, critical of the deal so much.
So she criticized the Soros family by name.
Uh, because yeah, they apparently helped facilitate, they like gave the publishing company money in order to buy these masters.
So I found an article from the Times of Israel, uh, that was about how Taylor Swift was being anti-Semitic by calling the Soros family greedy for buying her music for a hundred and whatever million, several hundred million dollars, I think.
So she like, They got the story so wrong, like, she actually is on their side in this.
Like, she's one of the few people who actually has, like, challenged Soros directly.
It's so funny.
So insanely funny.
What a missed opportunity.
It's so, so funny.
Because I know that we were critical.
I know, like, we were critical of her and Beyonce because they let their something happen with their movies in Israel.
I know people are upset about that.
Yeah.
Beyonce screened her movie in Israel.
Beyonce did and Taylor Swift did too.
And they were both, both of their statements were like, well, I didn't do that.
The company who does my movie did that, which is like whack.
So it's funny that like she actually has, she has being called anti-Semitic, which is like a great conservative thing to be called.
Right.
And then also being supporting Israel the same, she's perfect and they still hate her.
It's funny because the Times of Israel cites the like whatever meme about Taylor Swift being an Aryan princess that I think we talked about on the show like two years ago or whatever when that was.
And they were like, it's a little dangerous for you who's already like an Aryan icon to be calling George Soros greedy.
But yeah, let me read this quote.
Bend the Ark, a Jewish progressive political advocacy group With which Alex Soros is closely involved.
I don't know.
It sounds a little anti-Semitic to say it like that.
Alex Soros is closely involved?
I don't know, it seems a little like, are you accusing him of scheming behind the scenes or something?
I don't know.
Tweeted a message to Swift on Friday afternoon.
Quote, you have every right to be upset about others profiting off your music, but please don't share anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the Soros family, the group wrote.
Quote, shameless greed is a dog whistle used against Jews.
Your Jewish fans deserve better.
You're not allowed to say anything bad about my dad.
It's anti-semitic if you're upset at him.
I like how the way racism works is you actually can't be.
The thing about stereotypes is that you actually can't be those things.
Yeah, you're not allowed.
That's great.
That's great.
But I love this theory that she would... Fine, I'll agree to endorse Biden like I did four years ago.
Fine.
I'll agree to endorse Biden and get Gen Z voters registered or whatever.
If you give me the masters that are worth $340 million or a billion dollars.
Yeah.
What an insane deal.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I'll film a commercial.
Is that what you want?
30 seconds.
I'll say, get out and vote and you'll give me all my old music back.
I love it.
You guys know I would have done this for just $1 million, right?
Or for free on my Twitter account.
Like I did a couple times last year.
Yeah.
What?
These people are so fucking stupid, man.
Okay, one of the first things you saw about this was Jesse Waters did a segment on it.
I'll pull up the clip here.
Let me let me cue this up differently again.
Okay.
But yeah, other than like the ambient sort of disdain they have for Stacey, that is, that is what it is.
Taylor Swift is kind of like a Stacey and fulfilling the, uh, fulfilling the like Keck, uh, what do you call it?
Prophecy, she wound up with a Chad.
Yeah, an absolute Chad.
A big, fun-loving, doesn't-give-a-fuck-about-your-weird-conspiracy-theory, having fun on the football field, crushing it, Chad.
Has a Bugatti, probably.
Other than their ambient dislike of Taylor Swift, I saw things kind of kick off in earnest in January with this Jesse Watters clip where, yeah, he claimed Taylor Swift was a Pentagon scion.
He was an idiot for real.
She's been blanketed across the sports media entertainment atmosphere.
The New York Times just speculated she's a lesbian.
And last year's tour broke Ticketmaster, a tour that's revenue tops the GDP of 50 countries.
I mean, I like her music.
She's all right.
But I mean, have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this?
Well, around four years ago, the Pentagon's psychological I think it was a long-term, elaborate, you know, year-spanning scheme to get the oldest Democrat ever to be president.
Yeah, that's what it was.
...operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting.
What kind of asset?
A PSYOP for combating online misinformation.
Listen.
You came in here wanting to understand.
So this clip is from 2019, and I think it probably did ping some bells back then.
I don't really remember this story, but yeah, they brought it back up here in January and maybe even in December.
And they're referencing like a speech that somebody was Like, giving, like, in accordance or, you know, a talk somebody was giving in accordance with National Security, CIA, or whatever.
And they were like, oh, well, we can combat misinformation by teaming up with a celebrity to say good things about, you know, whatever.
And for instance, a celebrity like Taylor Swift, and they just cut the clip short.
They're like, see?
See, well, and it's funny, too, because because when he's talking about it, he's telling you this is a real thing that was talked about in a NATO meeting.
And then he has to really speed through what he what what she would be an asset for how you're just getting information.
Right.
Totally.
and counter information operation.
The idea is that social influence can help encourage or promote behavior change, so potentially as a peaceful information operation.
I include Taylor Swift in here because she's a fairly influential online person.
I don't know if you've heard of her.
- Yeah, that's real.
- He's all that. - That's real.
She said Taylor Swift.
Like the greatest CIA mastermind is that woman who was just talking right now.
That's like, she's the scariest person in the world to them.
You ever get a photograph and there you buy a photograph and there's a photo of somebody else in it?
What's up with that?
Who's that?
What are they doing there?
Did I say a frame or photograph twice?
I think you said, I think we knew what you meant.
Okay.
I meant buying a frame.
Yeah.
Pentagon's PSYOP unit pitched NATO on turning Taylor Swift into an asset for combating misinformation online.
This is nothing new.
In the 1950s, the government strong-armed Louis Armstrong into doing propaganda tours across Africa.
The CIA did the same thing with jazz singer Nina Simone, except they did it without her really knowing.
In the 70s, Nixon enlisted Elvis in his war on drugs.
He gave the king a badge and named him a covert federal law enforcement agent.
Michael Jackson was tapped by Reagan, using his song "Beat It" and his public service campaigns against teen drinking and driving.
What is that?
They're trying to tear this country apart.
They're trying to take drinking and driving away from the teens.
This is such, it's so fucking funny the amount, like, the level people mentally have to be at to watch this stuff and be like, wow, that's a crazy conspiracy.
The government teamed up with Elvis to stop drinking and driving.
Yep.
And it worked.
It worked.
No one's drinking and driving anymore.
Oh, you think it's far-fetched that the CIA would use Taylor Swift to usher in a wave of migrants destined on, you know, predisposed to take your identities, your voting habits.
Oh yeah?
Well, here's a clip of Dee Snider teaming up with Snuggles toilet paper about how they're not going to take flaky toilet paper anymore.
They're taking away your choice to have flaky toilet paper.
Still think this is a game?
So good.
Michael Jackson persuading minors not to drink.
Anyway.
So is Swift a front for a covert political agenda?
Primetime obviously has no evidence.
If we did, we'd share it.
But we're curious.
Because the pop star who endorsed Biden is urging millions of her followers to vote.
She's sharing links.
And her boyfriend, Travis Kelty, sponsored by Pfizer?
Like, again, she's... Sponsored by Pfizer?
Sponsored by Pfizer, right.
She's already doing that stuff.
Yeah.
Like, what's the CIA... I mean... I don't know.
Like...
There is an argument to be made that the CIA would want Democrats in power just with how much easier it is to get things done in this country without... It looks a little less racist when there's Democrats doing it, right?
That's the whole thing.
And like, like maybe, maybe there's some, some, some fucking CIA funds ever made it to, you know, helping book Taylor somewhere or whatever.
But to what end?
Yeah.
To getting the fucking Kansas City Chiefs into the Super Bowl.
I heard the owner just paid her to woo him.
And to trick him into falling in love with her just so they can win the Super Bowl.
Yeah, the obvious answer is just the reason everybody's talking about Taylor Swift is the same reason that you're talking about Taylor Swift.
It's because you want people to listen to you.
You want to also cash in on Taylor Swift.
I also love that this guy is on here and his whole thing is saying they're going to get people to tell you things that aren't true.
Mm hmm.
And they're going to get them.
You're going to they're going to try to they're going to try to get you to believe it.
They're going to pay people to look you in the eyes and tell you something that is false.
And it's like, Doug, that that's like your whole thing, right?
Your whole thing.
There have been 11 articles on Taylor Swift on Fox News dot com just in the last two days.
How?
How?
That's that's five and a half articles a day?
There's like an article about how she's going to have to commute from Japan to the Super Bowl.
There's an article about her being ingratiated into the Kelsey family.
There's an article.
There's an article about her AI shit.
There's a lot of there's a lot of stuff going on with with Taylor Swift.
Like, I don't know, yeah, the weird, like, I just remembered another thing about how Topsy Turvy, the conservative response to a country pop singer and football star getting together to rule America, is, like, I saw somebody, because I guess Travis's brother Jason Kelsey, who's also a football player, I think for the Chiefs, I don't know, also a football player, Or I guess probably not, because I think he was at one of his games cheering in the stands.
Yeah, he took his shirt off and everyone loved it because he took his shirt off, which is great.
He took his shirt off, he got a big belly, and he was like, I don't know, there was a kid there and he raised the kid up who was cheering.
I don't know if the kid was related or whatever to him, but I saw people who were like, I hate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce and look at how gross Jason is with a girl touching his belly.
And I was like, this is like, this is like, I don't know, a big ass beer belly as you're hugging a kid.
That's like conservatism.
That's like real America to me.
That's wholesome.
That's my grandpa.
My grandpa's not a conservative, but still.
Your kids should be able to kind of sit on top of your uncle's belly.
It's tradition.
You know, like on the top of it, like a little bit of a shelf.
I just love being like getting so mad at Taylor Swift.
You're like shaming beer bellies and hug and hugging kids at a football game.
Yeah, it's because, yeah, he looks like he was literally you could picture him going like America, like whilst he was doing all the things he was doing.
Chugging beers with no shirt on at a football game with blue jeans on, like, that's supposed to be your shit.
Right.
I mean, I'll take it.
Uh, this, this was my, I think my favorite.
A lot of people, a lot of people on the right wing got the message that they were supposed to be going after Taylor Swift because there are like rumors that Taylor Swift is being sought by the Biden campaign.
I mean, of course, you know, they're probably seeking out any and all celebrities.
And then also Newsweek did some poll that said 18% of voters would take into consideration who Taylor Swift endorsed for president.
Like they could be influenced to vote based on who she supported.
What a huge number!
Yeah, I don't know how accurate that would be.
But then also, in that same poll, 17% said they would be less likely to vote for whoever Taylor Swift endorsed.
So that's the culture war right there, folks.
Those 18% versus the other 17%.
Yeah, that's so funny.
That's why I haven't endorsed anybody yet, because I'm waiting for her to do her full endorsement.
Yeah, but listen to this Hannity clip.
Maybe she just bought into all the lies about conservatives and Republicans, that they're racist, and sexist, and homophobic, and xenophobic, and transphobic, and Islamophobic, that Republicans and conservatives want dirty air.
Half of those you guys are openly bragging about.
Yeah, that's kind of your shit.
Republicans and conservatives want dirty air and water and a total ban on all abortion with no exceptions.
If she believes all that, she is believing a lie.
That is not true, folks.
Did Hannity just say that he's down for some abortions?
He didn't not say that.
Alright, alright.
We're moving, we're moving.
Um, this is what I'm talking about.
This is like Hannity groveling for Taylor Swift, which I, which is a smart thing to do.
You don't want to get, why would you, why would you pick a fight with Taylor Swift?
It's so insane.
Um, yeah, I just, it's, it's like a, it's like an insane, I don't know, nerd, nerd mentality, like a grieved nerd mentality coming off of the right wing for a lot of this stuff.
Um, Yeah, I just want to pull up some memes about Taylor Swift from Facebook, because we've heard, you know, from the talking heads here, we've heard from the elites like Jesse Watters and the other guy.
Yeah, I need those memes.
I need what the people are saying, you know, what they're talking about.
I liked this post from Exposing the Elite Agenda.
It's like a tri-panel meme by JT Kowalski.
Might look into this guy, see what else he's done.
And again, yeah, they're going with this bread and circuses line.
Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.
And then, uh, top left panel, Super Bowl, what is... I don't know, whatever Super Bowl it is, can't read it.
Super Bowl Lots.
Uh, big number.
49ers versus the Chiefs.
But then they got a picture of Moloch that I, you like never in a million years, never in a million years would I have thought I would ever have seen this meme.
Like if this wasn't posted by a Facebook page called exposing the elite agenda, I would think this was a shit post.
This is a real, this is a really good shit post.
If it's a shit post.
Well, it's, it's a by-product of a shit post.
That's the whole thing, which is like, Wow, let me so it's got a picture of Moloch and then over Moloch it says superb owl.
Have you ever heard that joke?
Have you ever heard that joke about the Super Bowl?
How it's actually just a superb owl and how much better that would be instead of an actual football game?
Um, hmm.
Things don't seem LOL so random now, do they?
Amazing, like I love this is superb owl.
That's like a. That's like a office era joke, kind of.
Yeah, real like 2012, 2008.
This is this is a real like.
Ironic stunner shades.
It's that I'm too intelligent for sports, too.
Yeah.
Like, you know, I don't care about... I would prefer a superb owl over a Super Bowl any day.
Oh, I know what they could do instead of superb owl.
They could say something like, Super Bowl.
Yeah, I am.
I am getting a Super Bowl at my fascist acai bowls restaurant here in downtown Redland.
Yeah, absolutely $10 all you can all you can get it's actually you know, what sucks.
It's kind of a deal $10 for a bowl.
Yeah, that bowl looks pretty big And so $10 for an insoluble is pretty good And in this market in this market, unfortunately Fucking wild realize realize realize but for superb owl superb owl They were laughing at us.
They were saying it out loud.
They were saying it in our faces.
I don't care if this year's Super Bowl is between freaking monkey pirates and pizza ninjas.
Alright?
I'm not watching it because I'm trying to groom my children.
They're trying to groom, they're trying to make my children, they will not allow my children to roar.
No.
And I'm going to prevent that.
Yeah, my children are going to be helicopters, okay?
They won't stop them from that.
Super Bowl, yada yada, superb owl, and the bottom panel is Taylor Swift wearing a Kansas City Conference Champions hat, and it says, if you still think it's just a theory, then you haven't been paying attention.
This picture's so weird.
What is the theory?
The widespread use of the internet is a great thing, but it's also like... The idea of gatekeeping anything is just out the fucking window.
And just, like, anyone can call themselves a conspiracy theorist.
And that's another big meme on the right wing, is everybody's proud to be a conspiracy theorist.
Hey, if you're confused about what's going on, why don't you look at my Facebook posts from one year ago?
I dare you to find something wrong, factually incorrect, about anything.
It's all there.
But you can't, like... You're not a theorist!
You shared a meme!
Of a pun from from 20 years ago and then said, see, do you get it now?
With like, oh, I bet I bet you, because like Taylor Swift is like tipping her cap.
I bet you what she's doing with her hands is also some sort of signal.
She has like three fingers up and they're like, look, it's the white power.
It's the OK sign.
Why did they Photoshop this photo the way they did?
I mean, you have a photo of her doing the Edge Lord 4chan OK sign.
OK symbol, yeah.
You had everything, guys.
It was all there.
The fucking bag was handed to you and you dropped it.
I think it's actually an op.
I think the right wing being so fucking bad at this, it's actually an op.
That's the op.
It's all set up.
Them losing the culture war was rigged because it makes no sense.
They're throwing us this one.
They're letting us think that we're figuring it out.
That is the op.
Oh my god.
I am James the Thinking Contractor, one of my favorite guys on here, posted an AI image of a fat Taylor Swift with like a vinyl halter top on that has a McDonald's logo.
Uh, and she's like inside of a, you know, a fake McDonald's that's the letters are all weird on it.
Um, and like, she's working there, I guess.
Uh, and he captioned it, Tater Swift.
Sure.
And what's funny about this is like, The fake fat Taylor Swift we're looking at right now, like in real life, like fat Taylor Swift is like happily married with like five children and like living the life that they say they want.
Like fat Taylor Swift is a babe and probably a wonderful person.
Yeah, that's good.
Like they don't they don't know why they don't like her.
They're just like, well, if I make her fat, maybe that'll.
She's too pretty.
I got to make her fat now.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I hate this dumb bitch.
Yeah.
She's like still super pretty.
Like she looks great.
She's awesome.
Like what is the, what is the joke here, James?
I just, I just love it.
Have to fantasize about her being Less attractive to you.
Yeah.
It's pretty funny.
And then this is the other meme that I wanted to show in the same vein.
It's Taylor Swift, but with the guy from Trailer Park Boys' face on her face.
Bubbles.
Bubbles, big glasses, big eyes.
And then it says, Trailer Swift.
Yeah.
See, what's funny is, like, these are funny just in general.
These are funny to just make for fun, but if these are your responses to her being, like, the head of this conspiratorial cabal, like, that's what makes it funny.
Trailer Swift.
I mean they're... Because I'm posting both these later.
I can find a trailer with the word Swift on it extremely easily.
Guys.
This is so much funnier.
I'm gonna upgrade this meme.
It's easier to laugh at women you don't want to have sex with.
I don't know if you knew that.
That's just psychology.
That's not me.
Those are just facts.
Facts and logics right there.
This is just like when they put, this is like, it's like a very boomer joke.
Like just, you put, I don't know, you put like Greta Thunberg's face on Gomer Pyle's body.
Uh-huh.
And you're like, great shot there, deputy!
I was like, what, we're just going?
Just, you just mix them up.
That's it, yeah.
Just two characters.
Just shuffle them up.
It's funny stuff.
Or like when they do the thing where it's a bear and a deer mixed up and it's a beer.
Mmm.
Yeah, better than a dare.
Way better than a dare.
Because you can drink a beer.
Yeah, both.
You drink beers.
Could land you in jail, though.
That's true.
That's very true.
Yeah, so, uh.
Everybody does love Taylor Swift.
I was at this Chinese food restaurant last night, and this old lady who was helping us out was wearing a Taylor Swift sweater.
And I was like, it's a nice sweater.
She's like, I love her.
And I was like, that's awesome.
Yeah, that probably wouldn't be what I would lead with in my political movement.
Yeah, we're the anti-Taylor Swift party.
We also hate Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts.
Yeah, he's the worst.
They're the worst.
Sandra Bullock is actually convincing young men not to get married and settle down.
Did you know that?
That's fucked up.
That's fucked up.
I forgot that Sandra Bullock married Jesse James.
Oh yeah.
I forgot about that.
And then he cheated on her with a Nazi.
With another Nazi?
Yeah.
This someone who actually had Nazi tattoos is what it was.
That's how they were all Nazis.
But this one was dumb enough to have Nazi tattoos.
Wow.
Good for good for her, man.
I could have told her that was going to happen.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Um, this was, so like what I was talking about in the Facebook, or sorry, in the Fox News comment section, I don't know if you can read that, but, uh, this was the, this was like the number one response is like, I don't care.
Please stop doing this to me.
Like if there is an op, it's just you bombarding me with shitty celebrity news that I don't care about.
But then the other like second most popular response was like this from true American American flag emoji says the media and groupies need to leave them alone.
First of all, they are human and have their own life and it and if it's together leave them be like the majority of the world like of Americans who watch TV probably do see a young couple Yeah.
Affectionate towards each other.
And it's just such a bad look for you to be like this.
This makes me sick.
I hate this.
It's gross.
Oh, they're supporting each other.
Disgusting.
Two of the most successful human beings in the world, you know, in a society that's supposedly based on merit or whatever.
And you can't help but be revolted by it.
Very interesting.
Something's wrong there.
Very interesting psychology.
That's our job.
You know, let us do that.
Yeah.
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Yes, yes, yes, yes! yes!
I'm gonna burn your love to me!
I'm gonna burn your love to me!
Cause I can!
Alright, you wanna talk about this weird Trump Acai Bowl place that opened in Redlands, Tony?
Yeah, so I guess there's a new health food spot in Redlands, a new acai bowl place, and it's called Freedom Bowls.
And like when I first saw this, I thought it was like, OK, whatever.
It's like some America Americana like themed place.
That's fine.
And then I got their sponsored ad on my feed and it's a tick tock from somebody else going into the place.
And the place is like, it's so much better than I thought.
It's like straight up the most brain wormed.
It's everybody we talk about the most brain wormed out, like beyond Fox news style, conservative as their branding is.
It's like they told AI to do, I don't know, Facebook t-shirt tattoo graphics.
That's what they used as the wallpaper.
Oh yeah.
In this place.
It's incredible.
Should I play this video?
Yeah, well, first, it opens up with them with the door and on the door it has a sign.
One says it's a snowflake.
It's a picture of a snowflake and it's with a red line through it.
No snowflakes.
But then it also says you can constitutionally carry your gun.
Yeah.
Which in Redlands, like in California, it's that's not a lot of people.
There's not a lot of guns being openly carried there.
Right.
So that's really funny.
And it just gets better from there.
Yeah, it's all the fake troop shit.
This company, this like, whatever, this brand, they've already opened a Sayibol places in Lake Elsinore.
Yeah.
Which makes little more sense than Redlands.
Although I'm not too surprised that Redlands is doing this.
Redlands is Lake Elsinore now.
Redlands is a hotbed now.
But the company, the brand is called Big American.
Like, that's what their...
Yeah.
That's what their Instagram handle is.
And then the restaurant is called Freedom Bowls Superfood.
Mm-hmm.
So they've, like...
It's so many words.
Because it says freedom in, like, a font that looks like, I don't know, like, a Reebok logo or something.
But it's got an American flag and the E's and freedom...
But then there's a bowl in for the O in freedom.
And then it says bowls on the bowl.
And then underneath that, it also says Superfoods.
Mm-hmm.
So it's Big American Freedom Bowl Superfoods is, I think, the name of this, the full name of this restaurant.
That sounds about right.
The outside, like, little window decals say keto, vegan, gluten options available.
Yep.
Softest shit ever.
OK, so yeah, one of those like Facebook tattoo AI generated art pieces of artwork that I'm talking about is this graphic that's on one of their walls.
And it's like, I don't know, it's like a Western scene in the foreground, but then you can see a like a mountain range with These snowy mountains and then there's a tattered American flag flying over it.
Just like nonsense.
Just like somebody just typed in like like Western landscape into into AI, but make it look like an oil painting.
And what's super annoying about this is that we live like on a beautiful mountainscape.
Yeah, a beautiful landscape that like most people who live here are kind of proud of and would recognize on a wall.
Yeah, this isn't that one.
I don't know which one this is.
I think this is off of one of the moons of Saturn or something.
Yeah, yeah.
But at the top, there's text all over this fucking wallpaper.
And it says freedom isn't free.
They want you fat.
Become fit.
They want you sick.
Be healthy.
They want you broke.
Build wealth.
They want you silent.
Speak up.
This keeps going.
They want you apathetic care.
They want you stupid.
Learn.
I want you reading the balls of neo-health-fash-fucking-fourth-wave-shitty-health-food-restaurants every day.
You need to be studying the texts.
Yep.
They want you to hate each other.
Love and help each other.
They want you to need them.
Take pride in not needing them.
They want you to give up.
Never give up.
It's funny.
Yeah, they want you to need them.
Some people say that, like, the greatest strength is having, you know, more people on your side or whatever.
Ignore that.
The greatest strength is found in acai bowls and solitary meditation.
Yep.
Absolutely.
Keto snacks.
Keto snacks.
Keto dog treats.
Keto dog treats.
They are human grade.
Just wanted you to know that.
Want you to know that.
Honor those that came before you and inspire those coming after you with the life you built.
Like, so acai bowl, that's just like a bowl with fruits and grains and nuts and stuff in it.
It's just like a healthy ice cream alternative or something.
Yeah, it's like an acai blend on the bottom that's super berry.
Usually it's mixed with some other stuff, some peanut butter or whatever.
Granola, fruits, toppings.
It's it's a healthy thing.
It's like they're fine.
Well, they can be fine.
And it's just so funny.
So the guy who opened this one to the chain, he's also the guy who owns the Cookie Plug, which is a cookie company that has a dispensary theme, a hip hop dispensary theme.
But it's not and it's not healthy.
It's not healthy.
It's not edibles.
It's just cookies.
You buy like you buy like six cookies for like $19.
And it's it's like the cookie plug and the whole thing.
So it's funny.
So isn't this guy like isn't the right wing?
Aren't they trying to say that there's a recession right now or something?
Aren't they trying to say that like it's too expensive to do regular business and you're opening multiple themed health food restaurants?
Well, and the funny ones, the health food, the cookie plug is not healthy at all.
It's They're pretty decadent cookies.
A gimmicky restaurant is the sign of a fucking opulent economy for the people in that class.
Totally.
That's an affront to God.
Also not a white guy, which is very funny.
A gimmick restaurant means your community is starving.
Yeah, exactly.
And he's also he's also like not a white guy, which is funny to me.
And like he's it's just great that this is all on him because none of this is you.
Do you think you're getting integrity in your soluble place?
That's wild.
I don't like I I would love to know how much of this is a genuine belief like because we're touching on conspiracy theory again and this and this is again like all you need to be to be a conspiracy theorist you don't have to like actually look at freedom of information acts or you know request documents or anything like that all you have to do is say like no
I'm not eating McDonald's because I'm thwarting the plan.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know, there's like a million reasons not to eat McDonald's.
Yeah, there's a ton.
The thing I love about this, though, too, is so they did this conservative theme.
And the thing is, the more you look at the more niche it gets, like they even cut off other conservatives at some point in this marketing.
And that's amazing.
What do you mean they cut them off?
Like they even go beyond other conservative, like they go to their very extreme right wing.
They're not just like people who like America and they go beyond that.
Like when you get to the wall of the AI wall.
Oh, OK.
You know, you'll see.
Yeah, like it's just they go even further down that.
So they're even alienating more customers.
For sure.
Yeah.
Well, you point that out when we get there.
But just, it's such an empty fucking, I don't know, conspiracy theory.
Like, if it is, I don't think it's a genuine conspiracy theory.
No.
I think this guy is like a Facebook t-shirt company who instead, who like looked at the conservative coffee storefronts in an oversaturated market and was like, oh, that's okay, I'll do acai bowls instead.
Yeah, that works for me.
And it's like, I don't know, the first ever PSYOP was convincing you to buy a product.
The second ever PSYOP was convincing you that the other person trying to get you to buy something is doing a PSYOP on you, so you have to buy it from me instead.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And that's all this, they want you fat, become fit.
What do you mean they want you fat?
I... Why?
Why would they... Because then you can't overthrow the government, I guess, right?
But they want you sick, be healthy.
Like, we know that healthy people are cheaper to keep alive and keep working for you, you know, if we're looking at like the actual...
Whatever leverage or, uh, I don't know, whatever they would want to extort out of you.
They don't want to extort, like, you watching TV.
They don't really care that, I don't think, care that much.
They want you fucking selling 40 hours of your life to them for as little as possible.
They surely want that.
And it's easier to do that if you are healthy.
It's easier to do that if you are fit.
Like, all of this stuff is just because capitalism is bad at actually What maximizing efficiency or maximizing like good, a greater good.
It's just only interested in near term gains or whatever.
So that's like why you see a McDonald's ad.
That's why your country allows McDonald's to happen or whatever.
I mean, I do think that there is a bit of that, like it's not that they want you sick.
It's just they don't care about if you're they don't care if you're healthy.
I do think there is a lot to that, at least within certain demographics.
I believe that was is a thing or at least was a thing.
So I agree with I agree with some of that, like that, like notion.
You're like you're punished for being sick way more than for being healthy.
Yeah, but I'm saying, but they don't, but they don't like enable it and they don't like educate you.
And just like our, our food is bad.
Yeah.
Because all of that stuff like would conflict with the short term incentives.
Totally.
Totally.
So that's what I'm saying.
I don't think, I don't think that they don't think that they like, but they don't, they don't care.
They don't.
Yeah.
No, it is.
It is a, but it is like a malignant neglect.
Cause like, cause like kind of what you're saying, they would, they would give us health insurance.
Right, yeah, we would just, the country, if we were interested in actually getting the most out of the population of this country, yeah, it would be providing for people in that way.
Personal, I love that personal excellence is the ultimate rebellion.
Absolutely.
And again, like, yeah, you're just, you're defining yourself in opposition to some, I don't know, country singer, pop star who doesn't want you to succeed.
She doesn't want you to be a man that could stand up to her and tell her, no, she actually does have to quit her job if she wants to be in a relationship with you.
I wonder if they're going to get like some fit guy to be this spokesperson is because the guy who owns this place, him saying any of this is just you can't believe any of it.
They have like bowls named after they have like a Thomas Jefferson bowl, like a George and Alexander Hamilton.
It's it's so fucking funny, man, like.
These restaurants just opened, though, right?
Like the one in Lake Elsinore was before the Redlands one, but only by, I think, a week or a week.
Yeah.
Like.
I don't I don't see this lasting.
I don't like.
No, no way.
Like people are going to do tick tocks in this restaurant for a week or so.
And then that's going to be it.
They're also not.
They're also expensive and they're not getting good reviews.
Like the people are saying the food's not actually good.
Aren't they on Olive?
No, they're on like state.
Yeah, that's that's got to be an extremely expensive piece of real estate they're leasing.
I don't know.
State's pretty is pretty whack now, but yeah, it's not cheap either.
You're right.
Yeah, so best of luck to them.
I hope the fascist bull.
You gotta get to the wall real fast.
Which wall?
There's four of them.
Which one are we talking about?
Keep going.
Okay.
It's obvious which one it is.
Okay, this one has an American flag and says when tyranny becomes rebellion.
This other one has the Donald Trump meme.
In reality, they're not after me.
They're after you.
Be afraid.
Buy acai bowls.
There's the eagle landing on an American flag in the middle of the left of that middle of the ocean.
Oh, OK.
I know what you want to talk about.
Yeah.
There you go.
There you go.
OK.
Incredible.
Yeah.
One of the walls has.
Yeah.
I like what's the style of this AI art like like really bright.
It looks like one of those trapper keeper hyper rap, hyper realistic, like extreme sports folders that you would get of the dude like.
doing a big grab on a half pipe and his tongue sticking out all crazy.
But it's like, you know, a little more realistic than that.
But it's, it has Joe Biden in front of a crumbling white house.
And then it says traitor, traitor.
And then it has Hillary Clinton.
I think this is supposed, she's supposed to be in China.
Uh, Yeah.
And it says treasonous next to Hillary Clinton.
The next one has Bill Gates in a lab coat and surrounded by beakers.
And it says globalists like you put globalists on a wall.
You're you're you've now gone even further, right?
Like you've become more niche within this this like marketing idea.
Yeah.
And it's like that's even further.
It's amazing.
I mean, he's got it's anti he's got anti Ukraine stuff on here.
Exactly.
Yeah.
He has Zelensky surrounded by money and it says money launderer.
Money launderer.
So amazing.
This is going to do great.
This is going to be great.
Look at my acai bowl place.
I'm going to eat here for years.
And I know we've got to wrap, but I got to I got to read this one review.
This is a one star review from Albert O. And it says, I don't know what is worse, the service or the quality of the soluble.
Just pour all around.
This is not what America stands for.
Fuck, man.
I love that.
They're like, you're saying you're representing America and you're serving this bullshit?
Yeah.
This is not OK.
This is not OK.
Make Asahi great again.
We need a real outsider to come in and disrupt the Rhino Asahi business.
Go to the actual conservative store down the street where you can get an Asahi bowl with everything on it for, I think, $7.
Or if you're in San Diego, go to Senior Mango's.
Best Asahi bowl in the world.
All right.
Yeah.
Shout out to them.
Get tickets for Miss Me Yet, the miniseries on the George W. Bush presidency that I am hosting at the Beacon Theater in Seattle, February 15th and February 22nd.
The link will be in this episode's description.
And if you want a bonus episode every week, go to patreon.com slash MinionDeathCult.
We recently watched the movie Crash for the first time.
We'd never seen it before, and it's a shame because You know, we talk about racism a lot on this show, and there was so much we didn't know about it until watching Crash.
So we're going to kind of have to go back and maybe do some commentary over our older episodes with all the information that we've learned from that wonderful movie.
