| Ladies and gentlemen, we have some breaking news. | ||
| This is insane. | ||
| This is of the utmost magnitude. | ||
| Breaking news. | ||
| Politico has stormed in here with the, this is an insane story. | ||
| It appears that Zoomer group chats are a thing. | ||
| Zoomers are behaving how Zoomers behave. | ||
| I know this is really crazy. | ||
| It's really crazy to think. | ||
| You know, it's hard to ponder, but Politico has really exposed everything. | ||
| Zoomers like edgy humor. | ||
| I know, I know. | ||
| It's a little hard to digest. | ||
| You know, it's a little heavy. | ||
| You might be a little scandalized. | ||
| But yeah, young men like to tell dark jokes. | ||
| They have a little bit of edgy humor. | ||
| They're a little rough around the edges. | ||
| I don't know if you saw the headlines over the last 24 hours. | ||
| There is quite the hubbub surrounding this Politico article. | ||
| And we will get into that. | ||
| Look, this is ridiculous. | ||
| The cancel culture is over. | ||
| I don't know if you saw the last, I don't know if you're like a politico yourself. | ||
| I don't know if you're much of a political wonk. | ||
| I don't know if you saw the last election results. | ||
| Yeah, cancel culture loss at the ballot box. | ||
| So we're going to get into that. | ||
| We have a spicy little story for you today. | ||
| We also have the Big Balls case. | ||
| I don't know if that rings a bell. | ||
| Big Balls, the Dogemaster. | ||
| He got jumped a few months ago in DC. | ||
| This is kind of what initiated the National Guard crackdown from Donald Trump. | ||
| Well, the people who beat him nearly to death were given a slap on the risk. | ||
| So we're going to take a look at that. | ||
| It was a wild story. | ||
| We also have the New York Times. | ||
| You know, we see the political article. | ||
| There's a lot of accusations of racism, some really edgy jokes, these sorts of things. | ||
| But the New York Times put on an article that was far more racist, I would say, than anything that these young gentlemen in this group chat could have possibly put together. | ||
| So yeah, we're going to get into all of that. | ||
| But first, before we get started, let's take a look at our great sponsors. | ||
| Our first one, Cast Brew Coffee. | ||
| Now, this is really, this is the nectar of the gods, I've heard. | ||
| This has been rumored to be what people on the streets are calling it. | ||
| This is some fantastic stuff, Cast Brew Coffee. | ||
| Let's take a look at the blends we got here. | ||
| Appalachian Knights, we are in Appalachia. | ||
| That's where our studio is. | ||
| We're in the DC area. | ||
| We're in the neighborhood, so to speak, but we have a little bit of elevation. | ||
| And Appalachia, I don't know if you're much of a folklore person, but it's a very spooky, mysterious, esoteric part of the country. | ||
| And you got a blend. | ||
| If you don't live in Appalachia, you've never been, you could just buy a bag of Appalachian Knights and kind of get the gist just from the taste portfolio. | ||
| Really great blend there. | ||
| We've got some other great stuff in here. | ||
| I'm going to go to page two. | ||
| This is where some of the action is. | ||
| We have Ian's Graphene Dream, Patriot Ian Crossland. | ||
| This is what he is fueled by. | ||
| This is what he's powered by. | ||
| And if you're inspired by Ian and you really want to connect with the spiritual realm, just saying, Ian's graphene dream could be an option. | ||
| So maybe grab you a bag of that. | ||
| And we have new, new to the store, Mary's Ghost Blend. | ||
| You know, we're approaching Halloween. | ||
| It's really spooky time of the year. | ||
| It gets a little wacky and wild. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe you might need to grab a bag to get into the Halloween spirit, Mary's Ghost Blend. | ||
| So head on over to castbrew.com, grab you some coffee. | ||
| There's a lot of great options on there, a variety. | ||
| You can see in the bottom left here indicates what kind of roast you're dealing with. | ||
| So yeah. | ||
| Head on over to Cast Brew Coffee. | ||
| And we also have Boonies. | ||
| Boonies, head on over to shop.boonieshq.com. | ||
| This is really some fantastic stuff. | ||
| We got some great gear on here. | ||
| We have our 28th Amendment board, the right to bear chickens. | ||
| We are heading into some wild times. | ||
| We don't really know what the future holds, but we do know that eggs, you can get free eggs. | ||
| You know, you'll never have to worry about egg prices again. | ||
| You don't even know what the egg price is because if you have chickens, you don't have to worry about that kind of thing. | ||
| And if that resonates with you, maybe you should buy a board to sort of accompany that sort of ideology. | ||
| We have some other great boards. | ||
| We have the Be Gay Board, and then down here, we have the Don't Be Gay Board. | ||
| So there's a binary presented there, and you can choose. | ||
| Obviously, there's a lot of debate over the years over whether, you know, homosexuality is a choice or not. | ||
| But over at Boonies, it is. | ||
| You can pick whichever board you would like and pick a team, so to speak. | ||
| So head on over to shop.boon. | ||
| We've got some great stuff on here. | ||
| We got some bumper stickers, t-shirts. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| So head on over to shop.boonieshq.com. | ||
| I am your host, Tate Brown, here, holding it down for Tim Poole. | ||
| Look, this is some really exciting. | ||
| I am young. | ||
| I am a Republican. | ||
| So these stories have some particular resonance with me. | ||
| So we're going to get into that. | ||
| And we're holding it down. | ||
| This is a tate cast, a special Wednesday tate cast. | ||
| I know Thursdays is Tate Cast Day. | ||
| Tate Thursdays, some have been calling it. | ||
| But I have a Patriot power hour here for you guys ready to go. | ||
| Let's get into this first story from Politico. | ||
| This is good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Run Rumble. | |
| I can say a lot of these words. | ||
| We don't have to worry about the YouTube TOS gods coming down on us. | ||
| From Politico, an exclusive, I love Hitler or Hitler. | ||
| I don't know what I'm allowed to say. | ||
| Leaked messages expose young Republicans' racist chat. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery, and grape. | ||
| I don't want to say that word. | ||
| You know, it's a little corrosive to the soul to say that a little too much. | ||
| Call me soft, call me gay, whatever you want. | ||
| You know, it's how I operate. | ||
| I don't like to cuss. | ||
| I'm not a cursor. | ||
| But this is everyone's nightmare. | ||
| The group chat getting leaked. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| I put a tweet out earlier today saying that if my high school Clash of Clans group chat were to be leaked, we would be in camps overnight. | ||
| Because, you know, every Zoomer young Patriot group chat, man, there's some wild, wild topics being discussed. | ||
| As you can see, there's a few of their highlights, some of their greatest hits that were in the group chat here. | ||
| If we ever had a leak of the chat, we would be cooked for real, for real. | ||
| Well, here we are. | ||
| They love the watermelon people. | ||
| I don't know what he's even referring to here. | ||
| This is whatever. | ||
| Yeah, everyone that votes no is going to be in the gas chamber. | ||
| Like, it's getting wacky and wild. | ||
| So we're going to get into the article here. | ||
| We'll read. | ||
| From Politico. | ||
| Leaders of young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing away. | ||
| Yeah, well, that's exactly what happened here. | ||
| They referred to black people as monkeys and the quote watermelon people and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. | ||
| They talked about graping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. | ||
| William Hendricks, the Kansas Young Republicans vice chair, used the words n-g and n g, variations of the racial slur. | ||
| This is getting very, you know, avant-garde here with his with his vocabulary. | ||
| You know, you have to tip the hat there, I would say. | ||
| Various is the racial slur. | ||
| More than a dozen times in the chat, Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to grape as, quote, epic. | ||
| Peter Junta, who at the time was the chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that, quote, everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber. | ||
| I bet everyone voted yes. | ||
| That's quite the threat. | ||
| I would have voted yes if I knew that's what I was up against. | ||
| So I don't know, maybe that worked. | ||
| He was referring to an upcoming vote on whether he should become chair of the Young Republicans National Federation, the GOP's 1500-member political organization for Republicans between 18 and 40 years old, which, side note, 18 to 40 is crazy if you're younger. | ||
| I know people that are like 30 are calling themselves young, but 40, are you serious here? | ||
| You know, I used to be involved in young Republican groups, you know, in college, especially. | ||
| And it wasn't very young. | ||
| There was a lot of unks there. | ||
| It was a lot of unktivities. | ||
| I'll put it that way. | ||
| But that's neither here nor there. | ||
| Quote, I'm going to create some of the greatest physiological torture methods known to man. | ||
| We only want true believers, he continued. | ||
| And two members of the chat responded. | ||
| So obviously there was a lot of chatter going on here. | ||
| Maybe people kind of experimenting with some ideas to get people to vote yes. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe it's worth taking a look at. | ||
| But yeah, a lot of crazy stuff. | ||
| I'll read here. | ||
| The exchange is part of a trove of Telegram chats obtained by Politico and spanning more than seven months of messages among young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont. | ||
| I didn't even know there was Republicans in Vermont, so that's pretty cool. | ||
| Congrats, boys. | ||
| The chat offers an unfiltered look at how a new generation of GOP activists talk when they think no one is listening. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know who here is surprised that, again, young guys like edgy jokes. | ||
| Not really any breaking news here. | ||
| I suppose they're just excited to read them. | ||
| Since Politico began making inquiries, one member of the group chat is no longer employed at their job and another's job offer was rescinded. | ||
| Prominent New York Republicans, including rep Elise Stefanik and state minority leader Rob Ort, have denounced the chat. | ||
| And festering resentments among young Republicans have now turned into public recriminations, including allegations of character assassination and extortion. | ||
| So yeah, look, there's a lot of drama over the last 24 hours on the timeline. | ||
| A lot of he said, she said, a lot of people accusing others. | ||
| I don't want to get into that. | ||
| The drama is really just, you know, that's for mudslinging online. | ||
| That's for those types of people to figure out. | ||
| I'm more concerned here with the reaction that people are having. | ||
| There was, again, they kind of go through here the accusations of who's being accused. | ||
| And again, this is not a done deal. | ||
| This is Politico's reporting. | ||
| There's a lot of people online who are in the know who are questioning this narrative. | ||
| Again, I don't want to really pontificate. | ||
| I'm not privy to the back channel conversations. | ||
| I haven't seen any concrete evidence of anything yet. | ||
| So I'm not going to speculate on this. | ||
| But this was a really funny bit of the article. | ||
| 251 times. | ||
| Mixed into formal conversations about whipping votes, social media strategy, and logistics. | ||
| The members of the chat slung around an array of slurs, which Politico is republishing to show how they spoke. | ||
| Epithets like fat, maybe fat, I don't know. | ||
| Retarded and Enga appeared more than 251 times combined. | ||
| First, hilarious that they censored this and this, but they didn't censor retarded, which just shows that retarded is like normalized again. | ||
| You can say it again. | ||
| It's perfectly fine. | ||
| Even Politico agrees. | ||
| It appears more than 251 times. | ||
| So some poor bastard from Politico yesterday got tasked with going through this group chat and counting every single time these words were used, which is just a hilarious job assignment. | ||
| Hilarious job assignment. | ||
| Maybe they used Excel. | ||
| Maybe, you know, the most gratuitous explanation was they come to this poor assistant who's just trying to make it. | ||
| He's trying to be the next big journal. | ||
| You know, he's going to be the next Ken Cliffenstein or whatever. | ||
| And they say, we got a really big story here. | ||
| Oh, awesome. | ||
| Yeah, we need you to count how many times they said the N-word in this chat. | ||
| And you know, this violated their con their lip tard conscious very much because they probably, you know, put into an Excel sheet, did a pivot table, but then they had to type in the N-word. | ||
| And that probably just really aided them, having to type in the N-word so they could get a count. | ||
| I know that really bothered them. | ||
| Right here, in one instance, Walker, who at the time was a staffer for Oort, talked about how a mutual friend of some in the chat, quote, dated this very obese Indian woman for a period of time. | ||
| Gunta responded to the woman, quote, was not Indian. | ||
| She just didn't bathe often. | ||
| It's not funny. | ||
| No, no, I think what's happening is the political art, the politico writer here is just very jealous that he couldn't come up with these funny zingers. | ||
| This is written by someone that's clearly seething. | ||
| In a separate conversation, Gunta shared that his flight from Charleston, South Carolina landed safely. | ||
| Then he offered some advice for his yellow young Republicans. | ||
| Finally, some advice, some insight. | ||
| Let's see what his advice was. | ||
| If your pilot is a she and she looks 10 shades darker than someone from Sicily, just end it there. | ||
| Scream the no-no word. | ||
| So yeah, a lot of interesting advice being disseminated in the chat. | ||
| Of course, of course, right away, here's another article from the Politico. | ||
| This is the follow-up. | ||
| Quote, it's revolting. | ||
| More young Republican chat members out of jobs as condemnation intensifies. | ||
| So, again, I don't want to get into the drama of how this chat got into Politico's hands, but the word on the street is there's some sort of infighting with young Republican groups. | ||
| Again, I'm not going to name names. | ||
| I'm going to say who. | ||
| There's no concrete evidence of anything. | ||
| But regardless, this shouldn't have ended up in Politico's hands, and it did. | ||
| That's neither here nor there. | ||
| But here, for example, Peter Gunta's time working with the New York Assembly member Mike Riley, quote, has ended, the Republican lawmaker said. | ||
| So a lot of these guys in this chat, Vermont State Senator Sam Douglas, faced mounting calls for his resignation, including from the state's governor Phil Scott, who's a Republican. | ||
| Okay, a Vermont Republican is similar to a Massachusetts Republican. | ||
| They're a Democrat. | ||
| That's just how it works over there. | ||
| Fellow Republican lawmakers called his statements, quote, deeply disturbing. | ||
| So we'll take a look here. | ||
| Of course, a lot of these sticks in the mud came out immediately with some rhetoric. | ||
| This is from the Kansas Republican Party. | ||
| I'll read their quote. | ||
| The Kansas Republican Party leadership is disgusted by the comments by young Kansas Republicans mentioned in the Politico story. | ||
| Their comments do not reflect the beliefs of Republicans and certainly not of Kansas Republicans at large. | ||
| Have you ever met anyone from Kansas? | ||
| Anyway, who elected a black chair a few months ago? | ||
| Oh, finally some diversity. | ||
| This is great. | ||
| This is what's going to save America is diversity. | ||
| Republicans believe that all people are created in the image of God. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| In fact, our platform clearly states, quote, we welcome Kansans of every ethnicity into our party as we work together to preserve our heritage of political equality, religious freedom, and strong moral values. | ||
| We strive to eliminate racism and we condemn all racist acts and groups. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| They just don't get it. | ||
| These GOP apparatches are just living like 10 years ago. | ||
| Again, did you see the last election results? | ||
| Like, cancel culture is done. | ||
| We're in a new paradigm. | ||
| People can cook. | ||
| Edgy jokes are okay now. | ||
| I don't know what this is. | ||
| That direct quote could have been from a Democrat for all we know. | ||
| It might as well have been. | ||
| Here's where they finish with. | ||
| As of today, the Kansas Young Republicans organization is inactive. | ||
| So they came down at the hammer. | ||
| The official Young Republicans National Federation Board of Directors put this statement out. | ||
| We are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the politico article published today. | ||
| Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican, and stands in direct opposition to the values our movement represents. | ||
| Those individuals must immediately resign from all positions within their state and local young Republican organizations. | ||
| We must hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, respect, and professionalism. | ||
| So, all these people are doing this routine where they pretend like they're Boy Scouts and they bladder pull on these guys who had a private chat revealed where they're making edgy jokes. | ||
| And they're siding with leftists ultimately. | ||
| They are to the left. | ||
| And I will show you who they are to the left of JD Vance, the vice president of the United States. | ||
| This is just this is he's the tone setter. | ||
| He just gets it. | ||
| This is the perfect response. | ||
| So everyone's, you know, this drops yesterday afternoon. | ||
| It's getting passed around group chats. | ||
| Everyone's saying, oh, wow, this is wild. | ||
| JD Vance drops in on the timeline, quote, this is far worse than anything said in a college group chat. | ||
| And the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia. | ||
| I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence. | ||
| So boom, JD Vance grabbing the frame, which everyone's panicking, everyone's freaking out, grabs the frame and centers it where it should be, which is the fact that, yeah, elected official threatening to kill Republicans is indeed far worse than some edgy jokes among college students in a group chat. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I know it's a little crazy. | ||
| I know the Kansas GOP and then, you know, Young Republican National Federation would disagree, but no, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| This is this is worse. | ||
| This is this is definitely far worse, as JD Vance says here. | ||
| So beautiful from Vice President Vance and presumably future president JD Vance, getting the framing absolutely correctly. | ||
| We cannot lose sight of what's going on here. | ||
| This cannot be reiterated enough. | ||
| A leftist shot Charlie Kirk and they celebrated. | ||
| And we're in what we're, you know, we're pearl clutching over a bunch of edgy jokes in a group chat. | ||
| Again, every group chat for every Zoomer who's right of center looks like this. | ||
| It's just, it is what it is. | ||
| We like to joke around. | ||
| We like to make jokes. | ||
| Ridiculous. | ||
| So JD Vance coming out setting the tone right away. | ||
| Here's a great little tidbit here from Logan Hall of Blaze. | ||
| Quote, Republicans, but they work to destroy their enemies instead of their friends. | ||
| I know, I know. | ||
| It's like, it's really shocking. | ||
| It's really shocking political strategy. | ||
| But yeah, it would be really nice if Republicans could stay focused here instead of eating their own and punching right. | ||
| Yeah, maybe we could work to destroy friends. | ||
| It's a radical idea. | ||
| I don't know, Logan. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| This might be a little too far-fetched, but it's worth a shot. | ||
| You know, this is an interesting pitch. | ||
| Certainly an interesting pitch. | ||
| Matt Walsh dropped in here. | ||
| He has a great take. | ||
| If you actually read the politico hit piece, you'll see that many of the messages are being taken wildly out of context. | ||
| For example, the guy who said, quote, I love Hitler, was clearly being sarcastic. | ||
| It's explicitly meant to be a sarcastic joke. | ||
| True. | ||
| And yet, Politico put the quote in the headline of the article, and conservatives are lining up to offer denunciations. | ||
| How in the HE double hockey sticks is anyone on the right still falling for this trick? | ||
| How have you not learned by now to take absolutely nothing from the leftist media at face value, especially if it's a blatant political hit piece? | ||
| Absolutely correct. | ||
| If you are to the left of the vice president right now, you don't get it and you're not on the team. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| We are in a soft, cold war right now between these two factions, between right and left. | ||
| Why are we punching right right now? | ||
| Did we just, I mean, I know we are, you know, you don't have to be much of a news junkie to see what's been going on over these last few weeks. | ||
| Why is anyone punching right right now? | ||
| This is absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| And so thankfully, yeah, JD Vance comes out and sets the tone. | ||
| We have prominent commentators like Matt Walsh coming out, you know, saying, why are you punching right right now? | ||
| Who are you trying to impress? | ||
| You're certainly not impressing conservatives. | ||
| Certainly not. | ||
| Because every conservative saw that and said, yeah, it's edgy jokes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I mean, what are you going to do? | ||
| It's young people. | ||
| What do you think they're talking about? | ||
| Do you think they're sending recipes back and forth? | ||
| You know, like talking about the weather? | ||
| Is this a farmer's almanac? | ||
| No, this is a group chat. | ||
| This is a patriot group chat. | ||
| You know, you make some jokes in there. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| So, yeah, it's just absolutely absurd. | ||
| This is a great take here from the Anon Crusader, Pepe. | ||
| He said, breaking, breaking news. | ||
| Young men tell edgy jokes to cope with the fact that their way of life is being destroyed and their friends assassinated. | ||
| Kyle Kalinsky comes in here trying to dunk, or they actually love Hitler. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then he replies with the dunk here. | ||
| Your side glorifies and engages in political violence. | ||
| It idolizes Mao and Lenin. | ||
| The right makes memes in private group chats. | ||
| You call us Nazis to justify political violence against us, just like you are doing. | ||
| Now, absolutely correct. | ||
| Once again, we're comparing two things here. | ||
| This is the paradigm. | ||
| This is the binary. | ||
| Edgy jokes in a group chat by young people that maybe you don't like. | ||
| Maybe it's not your style. | ||
| Whatever, et cetera. | ||
| You could even say maybe it was too much. | ||
| Again, neither here nor there. | ||
| We're not punching right anymore. | ||
| And then let's compare it to what the left's up to in their group chats. | ||
| Oh, yeah, in their group chats, they're just threatening to kill Republicans. | ||
| I mean, are we serious here? | ||
| Like, it's kind of obvious where the lines are. | ||
| So it's absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| These, these, these Republicans, we left this in the past. | ||
| This is lost at the ballot box twice, three times. | ||
| I don't know in the presidential primaries, because I don't know if you're familiar with Donald Trump. | ||
| I don't know if, again, I don't know if you're much of a wonk, but Trump's not really the most clean-cut, you know, Fox News-friendly sort of pundit, really. | ||
| No, he's a little edgy as well. | ||
| He's a little rough around the edges, and people love that. | ||
| I don't know if we want to rewind the clock, roll back time a little bit, 2016, the debates, the Republican debates. | ||
| But you had all these lawyers that were getting chucked on the stage to the Trump buzzsaw who are getting up and they were like, I'm from Texas and I care about the flat tax. | ||
| Oh, and I'm from Kentucky and I care about religion or whatever. | ||
| And then Trump just gets up there and just like calls people gay and stuff. | ||
| And everyone loved it. | ||
| And he shot up in the polls because we're kind of tired of living in this like, you know, this, you know, environment where you just have to act like a boy scout and you're not allowed to laugh at anything. | ||
| So the conservative base kind of gets what's going on here. | ||
| Again, you could have problems with what they said or whatever. | ||
| That's whatever. | ||
| But they understand that we're kind of tired of having to act like we're in an HR meeting at all times. | ||
| It got a little old. | ||
| So once again, these Republicans that are coming out and joining on the dog, the leftist dog pile, I should say. | ||
| These apparatchics that are jumping on the leftist dogpile on these guys are not in the team. | ||
| They're not aligned. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| Why are you punching right right now? | ||
| The left is trying to kill us. | ||
| And they keep saying that explicitly. | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| So absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| This is pathetic. | ||
| And if you are in a state and you have any sort of influence in your local GOP, you need to be asking questions of the leadership. | ||
| Why are they dunking on these guys? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Do they not know what time we're in? | ||
| And I should go further. | ||
| Why are they to the left of the vice president of the United States? | ||
| That's where the framing is. | ||
| That's where the Overton window is, is like the Trump administration. | ||
| Why are you outflanking the vice president of the United States to the left? | ||
| Absolutely pathetic. | ||
| So with that, that took up a lot of time. | ||
| There's a lot to say there. | ||
| We are going to be joined later by a fantastic, fantastic guest, Gabe Guidi Guidiriani. | ||
| I'll get the phonetic spelling of his name better here in a second. | ||
| But he's going to hop in. | ||
| He is very active in the young Republican scene. | ||
| Guidarini, Guirdarini. | ||
| Sorry, I'm not too great with the Italian names, but he's fantastic and he's very active in the college Republican scene. | ||
| So we're bringing him in later. | ||
| We'll break this down a little further, but we still have some time left. | ||
| So I'm going to grab the next story here from the New York Post. | ||
| Here is the headline. | ||
| Teens who jumped ex-Doge staffer Edward Big Balls Koristine. | ||
| Man, the Italian names. | ||
| Oh my gosh, Ellis Island, what are we doing? | ||
| We asleep at the wheel here? | ||
| Like, what's going on here? | ||
| Anyway, avoids jail, sentenced to probation. | ||
| You guys remember this story. | ||
| This was a few months back. | ||
| Big Balls, he was leaving a function. | ||
| There was apparently a carjacking situation, and he got jumped defending himself. | ||
| I don't even know if he really even really is really defending himself. | ||
| I think he was just there, existed. | ||
| He was a white guy that existed in D.C., and that's grounds for getting beat up. | ||
| That's been the case for many decades now. | ||
| I'll read. | ||
| Two teenagers who jumped former Doge staffer Edward Big Balls Koristine have avoided jail after pleading guilty to simple assault at a Washington, D.C. court. | ||
| The boy and girl, both 15 from Hyattsville, Maryland, were sentenced to probation at a DC court on Tuesday, just over two months after the pair were arrested for the savage August 3rd attack. | ||
| The boy was handed a 12-month probation and allowed to return home under strict house arrest, while the girl was given nine-month probation and remanded to a local youth shelter. | ||
| This was obviously what happened. | ||
| This was the aftermath. | ||
| You guys all remember this. | ||
| It was a brutal beatdown. | ||
| So if this is the punishment for beating someone nearly to death on the streets of Washington, D.C., our nation's capital, how does this disincentivize this from occurring further? | ||
| This is basically just allowing them to operate with impunity. | ||
| This is absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| There's zero, there's, I mean, ultimately, there's a, there's double, there's kind of a double system here for people like this and then people like that. | ||
| So I'll read some of the takes we have here, some of the commentary. | ||
| This is from Patrick Casey, friend of the show. | ||
| Daily reminder that policing isn't enough. | ||
| With left-wing judges and prosecutors, criminals will, at worst, receive slaps on the wrist, allowing them to continue preying on innocent people. | ||
| That's what's going on here. | ||
| So it's like Trump, obviously after this happened, he mobilized the National Guard. | ||
| He cracked down on crime in D.C. | ||
| And we've seen the murder rate drop precipitously. | ||
| Violent crime across the board has dropped precipitously. | ||
| So D.C. has become a safer place as far as the actual instances of crime occurring. | ||
| But when it does occur, there's no guarantee that there's actually going to be any justice served because you have these left-wing judges who are really activist judges. | ||
| They genuinely view these two kids as the victim. | ||
| This boy and girl from Hyattsville, Maryland. | ||
| They view them as the victim. | ||
| They view them as the victims of this racist, tyrannical system that is the United States. | ||
| And they feel like it's their job as a judge to bring this sort of cosmic justice. | ||
| And what that results in is just letting them back on the street where they will commit more crimes later on. | ||
| Like we all know this. | ||
| We all know what's going on. | ||
| So this is just absolutely absurd. | ||
| We have Will Chamberlain here coming in. | ||
| NDC home rule. | ||
| And he is one of the foremost legal experts in our space. | ||
| And I totally agree. | ||
| I think this clearly DC has not demonstrated that they're willing to govern their city in a way that makes any sense. | ||
| It's a total free-for-all. | ||
| And again, it's really ran by activists who really just seek to empower black voices and these sorts of things. | ||
| Because they, again, they view anytime they anytime specifically young black people commit a crime, they view that as like them sort of enacting justice on their own terms. | ||
| That's how they view it. | ||
| And they've gone on record saying this. | ||
| So NDC Home Rule, DC, you've lost the right. | ||
| You've clearly incapable of governing in any proper way. | ||
| Absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| So we have that. | ||
| Joel Berry is coming here with a great take, actually. | ||
| Another leftist woman judge, Toxic Empathy Strikes Again. | ||
| And he highlighted this portion from an article here. | ||
| The judge emphasized that the purpose of juvenile court is to rehabilitate, not to punish. | ||
| She said she hopes the teenagers learn from their prohibitionary period. | ||
| I don't know if you're familiar with the United States of America, but teenagers will not learn from their prohibitionary period. | ||
| This empowers them because that's not actually true. | ||
| The purpose of the courts, the purpose of justice system is to punish. | ||
| That's how you get justice is there's a debt. | ||
| That's a debt that's owed after you've committed an infraction. | ||
| It's not to rehabilitate. | ||
| That's never what it's been about. | ||
| Prison is about fundamentally punishment, yes, to enact justice. | ||
| That's what the courts are for. | ||
| And prison is for incapacitation because these people, violent crime is committed by a very small fraction of the population at large. | ||
| And they're often repeat offenders. | ||
| So prison is really about incapacitating these people because we know they're going to commit crimes. | ||
| There's no question about it. | ||
| It's keeping them out of civil society, out of people that are just trying to live their lives and keep them away because they will do this. | ||
| They will just jump you on the street. | ||
| That could have been any of us. | ||
| And this happens all the time. | ||
| The reason this is so high profile was because, you know, he was an ex-Doge staffer. | ||
| And that was so shocking because obviously, you know, Elon amplified the story and these sorts of things. | ||
| This is going on all the time. | ||
| I mean, do we need to roll back the clock to the arena situation in Charlotte where the man just abruptly stabbed the woman? | ||
| And then the leftist reaction was this was just, you know, again, this is just, well, he's, you know, a victim of oppression and slavery and these sorts of things. | ||
| And that's why he did it. | ||
| And then these judges come and reinforce that. | ||
| It's to rehabilitate, not to punish. | ||
| Just absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| We live in a two-tiered justice system. | ||
| There's no question about it. | ||
| Could you imagine, could you imagine just for a second, if there was a black Democratic staffer and two white teenagers went out in the street and beat the tar out of them? | ||
| Could you imagine what the reaction would be? | ||
| Like, we'd be in camps by now. | ||
| It would be over. | ||
| It would have been absolutely, especially under like Biden. | ||
| It would have been crazy. | ||
| But I mean, judging by the earlier reaction for these GOPs, even Republicans would, you know, go crazy. | ||
| It's a two-tier justice system. | ||
| There's no question about it. | ||
| It's absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| But with that, that will close our opening half of the show. | ||
| We will hop into our interview portion here. | ||
| Let me just check and make sure if I'm set. | ||
| Gabe Gweirdian Gweirdaran Gui Darini. | ||
| Guirdarini. | ||
| Gabe Guirdarini will be joining us for the interview portion. | ||
| So stay tuned for that. | ||
| For anyone else watching at home on YouTube, we'll be back tonight for Timcast IRL at 8 p.m. | ||
| I've been your host, Tate Brown. | ||
| Follow me at RealTate Brown. | ||
| And with that, the interview will be up at 4 p.m. on the culture war if you'd like to take a look. | ||
| And we will get into that here shortly. | ||
| So I'm going to leave with this from Politico. | ||
| I love Hitler. | ||
| Leaked messages expose young Republicans' racist chat. | ||
| Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery, and rape. | ||
| The group chat was leaked. | ||
| Oh, the horror. | ||
| It is getting crazy. | ||
| The entire GOP Apparatch are dogpiling on these kids, these guys. | ||
| I won't call them kids their guys. | ||
| JD Vance has come in here. | ||
| This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat. | ||
| And the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia. | ||
| I refuse to join the Pearl Clutching when powerful people call for political violence. | ||
| So we're going to bring Gabe in here and have a quick chat with him. | ||
| I'm going to see what he thinks about all of this. | ||
| Let me get this fired up. | ||
| No audio. | ||
| Make sure it's not getting any feedback. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| And let's see if he is in here. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Hey, Gabe, can you hear me? | ||
| Hey, Tate. | ||
| Yeah, I can. | ||
| Dude, what's up, Patriot? | ||
| Well, let's just say for everyone at home that maybe isn't familiar with you, could you maybe give a quick introduction, who you are, what you do, and your background with College Republican, the College Republican clubs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| So I'm Gabe Guidorini. | ||
| I've been in Republican politics on the young Republican side for a long time. | ||
| Previously, I was vice president and then acting president for the College Republicans of America, which oversees an overwhelming majority of the college Republican chapters around the country. | ||
| And then currently, I'm the chairman of the Ohio College Republican Federation, which oversees all the college Republican chapters in the state of Ohio. | ||
| So, and I've been, you know, I've been working with a lot of different groups before and, you know, just trying to get young people engaged and do and fight back against the left on our campuses. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Well, that's great. | ||
| Well, thanks for hopping on. | ||
| Before we get into the reactions to the politico article, can we first get your reaction? | ||
| What was your reaction yesterday when this article got dropped under your desk? | ||
| What did you think? | ||
| Well, the first thing that I really noticed right off the bat was the, you know, it's just another instance of in the pattern of left-wing journalism that isn't really focused on enlightening people. | ||
| It isn't really focused on helping people understand the facts and understand the truth, but it's more focused on painting the Republicans as evil, more focused on getting a political agenda across. | ||
| And in this case, that political agenda is all Republicans are Nazis, fascists, racists, whatever you'd call it. | ||
| And it's just another pattern. | ||
| And they've been doing this stuff for a long time. | ||
| But what really struck me is how swift and coordinated the response was to condemn these people. | ||
| And not everyone in that chat even had texts that were, you know, really that bad. | ||
| Not everybody in that chat. | ||
| There were like, what, 12 or 13 people in that chat. | ||
| Not everybody in that chat had really, really scathing text attributed to them. | ||
| But everyone in that chat felt the same fire from the GOP establishment. | ||
| They felt the same wrath from the establishment elements of the Republican Party and of the political system. | ||
| And it just goes to show that no matter who you are, no matter what association you have, no matter what you've actually said, people will throw you under the bus at a moment's turn if they believe that they are at risk from the left. | ||
| And, you know, the thing that I really like to communicate, and JD Vance talked about this yesterday, is it doesn't matter what you say. | ||
| It doesn't matter what, you know, who you associate with or what you do or who you talk to. | ||
| The left will call you these things regardless. | ||
| The left will do these things to you regardless. | ||
| It doesn't matter what you are or what you say. | ||
| The left, to them, to the left, you are a Nazi. | ||
| You are a fascist. | ||
| If you are a Republican, if you are a Trump supporter. | ||
| So that's a double standard that really comes into play here, especially when you consider how the left treats their own radical elements, treats their own people who say way worse things. | ||
| Jay Jones said something miles worse than what was said in this chat, which is he was fantasizing about murdering a Republican lawmaker and his children because he believed that he was intrinsically evil. | ||
| And those text messages were released. | ||
| Not a single Democrat has come out and defended and revoked their endorsement of Jay Jones for what he said in those text messages. | ||
| So, you know, it's a major contrast from what you see from the Republican establishment condemning, instantly condemning, and throwing under the bus all the people who were in that group chat for edgy jokes at best, poor taste content at worst. | ||
| But it's a really stark contrast between how the GOP treats their elements that are perceived as radical and how the Democrats treat their radical elements. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| I mean, what does this say? | ||
| Because we saw the last three primaries now where this sort of cancel culture sort of mentality loses at the ballot box every single time. | ||
| Donald Trump himself is repudiation of cancel culture, of this finger wagging, of punching right, because he understands the moment we're in. | ||
| He understands what time it is, and he understands that the left has these radical elements that ultimately want to kill us, as the AG candidate in Virginia has clearly demonstrated. | ||
| What does that say about some of these? | ||
| I guess you would call them stragglers, but there's obviously entrenched power that is outflanking the vice president of the United States to the left. | ||
| Well, I think it just goes to show that the Republican Party isn't on the same page. | ||
| We do not know the motivations behind all the people who are pushing this out, but it's very clear that there was coordinated activity behind the scenes before this article came out to instantly throw these people under the bus. | ||
| People were fired even before this article came out. | ||
| And I think that really goes to show how eager and desperate a lot of establishment elements in the Republican Party are to clean house with anyone who isn't in the establishment wing. | ||
| And this gave them, this unfortunately gave them a basis by which to do so. | ||
| But it just goes to show, you know, JD Vance and Stephen Miller and a lot of these really, really good elements within the Republican Party, they know the correct way to do this. | ||
| They know the correct way to respond to this, which is to not give the left any oxygen whatsoever because they deserve none. | ||
| And you may recall in 2016, during the Access Hollywood case, when that was released about Donald Trump, when he was first running for president, when those came out, everyone in the Republican Party who meant anything threw him under the bus at a moment's notice. | ||
| They said he's dead on arrival. | ||
| He's cooked. | ||
| He's not going to make it. | ||
| These audio recordings are as scathing as can be. | ||
| And what did Donald Trump do? | ||
| He stood firm completely unapologetically. | ||
| He stood firm and defended himself, defended his reputation, defended his legitimacy as a candidate, and he won, much to the shock of all those establishment Republicans who many of them have since joined forces with Trump and have gone in line and rightfully so. | ||
| So it just goes to show. | ||
| When you give people oxygen in this way, in a double standard environment where the left is able to get away with just about everything that they do wrong and the right are constantly monitored with a, with a, you know, with a microphone with a magnifying glass, when that double standard exists, the last thing you want to do is cave in and give that double standard any more legitimacy. | ||
| It's time for Republicans to start playing hardball. | ||
| And uh, until you know, I I tweeted this out like until and a few People have actually talked about this too. | ||
| Brandon Gill, a congressman from Texas, who's, I think, has been really great, texts us out: look, these text messages are horrible from Jay Jones. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the Democrats will not condemn it at all. | ||
| The Democrats never say anything about their radical elements. | ||
| So why should we give them any more oxygen by throwing other Republicans under the bus? | ||
| I don't see any reason to. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Well, I mean, there's something to be said about JD. | ||
| There's like a little echo on your end with the, maybe it's the laptop. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Possible. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But yeah, so we have, I mean, JD Vance specifically going out and getting the framing correct. | ||
| He set the framing. | ||
| He set the tone for how people should be responding to this. | ||
| Could you maybe speak a little bit? | ||
| Because JD Vance has been, he kind of has his finger on the poll, specifically with what young Americans are feeling, young patriots are feeling. | ||
| Could you maybe speak a little bit to JD Vance's reaction to what that says about the future of the GOP? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, JD Vance's reaction, I think, just kind of paints him more as the future of the GOP because, you know, the reason I think it goes both ways. | ||
| He is the future of the GOP. | ||
| And that's also part of the reason why he has ascended as far as he has. | ||
| You know, I remember getting my start in Ohio politics actually interning on his campaign back in 2022 when he was running for U.S. Senate. | ||
| And one of the things that got me and a lot of other young people in Ohio so motivated about his campaign was that he was young, that he understood the issues that actually appeal to young people, and that he was ready to play hardball against the left. | ||
| And JD Vance and Stephen Miller do this better than just about anyone in the upper echelons of the echelons of the Republican Party. | ||
| And that's why I think they've ascended so far is because young people see that and they are recognized, they are remembering that there are people in the Republican Party who are willing to stand by them, who are willing to support them and who are willing to fight for them against the left, fight for their interests, fight for the future of this country against a left that has abandoned all sense of morality, that has abandoned all sense of pride and country. | ||
| And JD Vance and Stephen Miller are setting the blueprint for how Republicans should be playing hardball against the left. | ||
| And that's, I think, why JD Vance has become, in many ways, the frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2028. | ||
| And that's why I think he'll continue to have a large influence in conservative circles going forward because he consistently proves his expertise and good talking points and good messaging on issues like this, messaging that we sorely need right now. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| I mean, JD Vance just, I mean, he gets this one principle, which so many in the GOP don't, is if you're in a dogfight, don't punch right. | ||
| Don't punish people who are ultimately on your team. | ||
| That's just like politics 101. | ||
| I mean, I saw this tweet. | ||
| This was earlier today. | ||
| Will Chamberlain actually, you know, he quote tweeted it. | ||
| This is from an attorney out of Chicago, an immigration attorney, Eric Lee. | ||
| And he said, quote, if your visa was denied or revoked due to Charlie Kirk-related speech, the Consular Accountability Project is interested in representing you pro bono. | ||
| So he's obviously responding to the Department of State's, you know, policy where they're not going to distribute visas to people who are dancing on the grave of Charlie Kirk. | ||
| The left has zero appetite to police their radicals whatsoever because they understand that they're in a war with us. | ||
| And why would they attack people on their team? | ||
| But there's a degree to it because they're defending people that want to kill people. | ||
| They're defending political violence, people that celebrate political violence. | ||
| Versus the right, we're already just throwing people under the bus for edgy jokes. | ||
| I mean, maybe you could elaborate more on the types of actors that the left is going to bat for and sort of their reaction to their radicals. | ||
| Yeah, well, I mean, the left only has so much political capital in this environment that they can afford to spend. | ||
| I think that the young Americans, especially, and polling shows this too, are kind of turning against the political left. | ||
| And I think that older Americans are too. | ||
| I think one of the things that really sparked this off originally was September 10th and the murder, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. | ||
| Democratic leaders, right? | ||
| This was a very transparent moment. | ||
| Democratic leaders were coming out and condemning it and condemning all political violence. | ||
| But their interns, the people underneath them, their supporters, the most vocal people in the young left and the Democratic socialist organizations were coming out. | ||
| They were just mocking Charlie Kirk. | ||
| They chose to either ignore it or, worse, they chose to actively joke about it, mock Charlie Kirk. | ||
| And what it says, I think, about the left is that in many ways, the left is not only worse than the Republican Party, they are about as bad as you can get in terms of systemic ignorance regarding the extremism of their own circles, of the actual people working underneath them. | ||
| Look, you look at Capitol Hill, most of these Democratic politicians are, you know, they're old white guys. | ||
| They're probably a lot more moderate. | ||
| They would, in olden days, they'd probably be more blue dog types, but their interns who pull their strings are about as far left as you can go. | ||
| These are people who truly, you know, 50 years ago, they'd be in the weather underground. | ||
| These people truly have a disdain, not only for America in general, but also for Republicans as people, because they disagree, because they believe that Republicans are morally reprehensible and that they are morally unable to assimilate to their vision, their progressive idea of what this country should be. | ||
| And that just continues to show itself more and more every single day. | ||
| The amount of people, you know, it was the fact that there were 100,000 people in this country, at least, those are only people that we know of that were put on that database for laughing or supporting Charlie Kirk's assassination. | ||
| It just goes to show the rot, the systemic rot in this country has gotten really deep. | ||
| And people are taking note of that, not only on the political right, but in the political center as well. | ||
| So the Democrats are now, I believe, in a panic frenzy to try and shove all this stuff under the radar. | ||
| And I think that's where a lot of this comes in, too. | ||
| They believe that by painting the Republicans as actually being Nazis or actually being fascists, that they can shove the attention away from them and put it on the right and label all young Republicans, label the young generation of conservatives as far right, Nazis, morally reprehensible. | ||
| What people may not be expecting and people may not have expected is the unlikely ally or perhaps likely ally that they have received from the moderate right, from the establishment elements of the Republican Party, who seem completely ready and willing to go to bat for the left and to work with the left to paint the extremists, you know, paint these people as extremists to Late, | ||
| try to push aside every element of a more conservative right wing away by labeling everyone as Nazis by trying to make examples of people by ruining their lives. | ||
| So it just goes to show that when the left plays hardball, they are able to get away with it. | ||
| They are able to try and push it aside. | ||
| But the right can't play hardball if we have half the party desperately trying to work with the left to put the attention back on the right. | ||
| The attention needs to be on the left because they're the people, you know, the left is where the violent energy is coming from. | ||
| Not all leftists, obviously, but when there is political violence going on in this country over the past several months, whether it's with Charlie Kirk or whether it's violence directed at ICE agents in Chicago and Portland, it's coming from the left. | ||
| It comes from a place of political leftism and progressivism. | ||
| And Republicans need to start acknowledging that much more boldly. | ||
| JD Vance and Stephen Miller are paving the way. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| That's so true. | ||
| Because you're tapped into these college GOP circles, obviously, through Turning Point and other of your, you know, with your experience and that sort of thing. | ||
| What is the reaction from young Republicans across the country to this whole situation? | ||
| What are you hearing? | ||
| What are they saying? | ||
| These sorts of things. | ||
| Well, I think to most young Republicans, the actual, you know, in the broad scheme of things, in an environment where Charlie Kirk was killed and where Jay Jones hasn't lost a single endorsement for his horrible statements that he made over text messages that were released, I think young Republicans have really exhausted all their energy to care about this particular situation. | ||
| What infuriates us more is the response from establishment Republican elements. | ||
| And it just goes to show: look, if somebody is placed in a difficult situation, if somebody has somebody go after them or allege something about them, that the people that they work for, the people who they are supposed to rely on, who they believe that they should be able to rely on, will just throw them under the bus at a moment's notice to protect their own name, to protect their reputation among donor groups. | ||
| And it just goes to show that these people are just not in line with the young elements of the GOP whatsoever. | ||
| And I think it's a lot more systemically induced than that. | ||
| You know, the Republican Party, in many cases, actively seeks to shove young people away from the table. | ||
| And when they do have young people that they try to bring in, usually these young people are more focused on establishing, you know, they're people who they believe that they can control, they can control their rhetoric, they can, you know, they can make sure that these people are parroting the right talking points. | ||
| Look at who makes up the RNC Youth Advisory Council, for instance. | ||
| So these, the Republican Party will bring those people in. | ||
| And then you have people like Dan Crenshaw who go out and say, if you're under 25, you should not be running for office. | ||
| Who says something like that? | ||
| We need more young people running for office. | ||
| I feel like that's something that even most older folks can agree on: that more young people should be in leadership positions in this country. | ||
| But the fact of the matter is, a large amount of the Republican Party does not want more young people in leadership positions because they know that young Republicans and young conservatives are willing to play hardball on the issues that matter most. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| What is the prescription here for these stodges, these old heads that are basically ladder polling these young guys? | ||
| I mean, obviously, it's a matter of time, you know, given a few decades, this will flush itself out of the system. | ||
| But the moment we're in where we're facing an existential threat, an internal, a domestic, you know, existential threat, what, what in the short term can we do to sort of mitigate this ladder pulling to get people that are focused on breaking this leftist power into positions of prominence and boxing out these stages that don't really get it that are functionally Democrats? | ||
| Well, we have to show them who, who, where the energy is actually coming from within the Republican Party and show them how little leverage they actually have. | ||
| And that means combating the precedent that they're trying to set right here and right now with this particular issue. | ||
| Ratio, you know, look at all these establishment Republicans getting ratioed on Twitter right now. | ||
| I think it was pleasantly surprising that these people are seeing serious backlash because the Republican base at this point just has no energy for firing to the right. | ||
| They want all the gun, all the fire. | ||
| They want all the arrows. | ||
| They want all the attack messaging. | ||
| They want all the energy placed on making sure that people recognize that the left is the issue in the political system right now, that the left is the facet of our political system that's actually contributing to violence and contributing to the political decay and polarization that we're seeing right now. | ||
| So just setting that message, making sure that these people aware, because they're in bubbles, right? | ||
| These establishment Republican types are in bubbles. | ||
| They hang out in musty old rooms with other old people. | ||
| And they are not, you know, they're not plugged in with what young people are saying. | ||
| And that needs to change. | ||
| And you saw it yesterday and today with these people, these establishmentarians coming onto Twitter to instantly denounce these people, thinking that they'd be okay. | ||
| Meanwhile, they just have a bunch of right-wing young people coming in and just totally torching them because they're throwing people under the bus and putting no attention on the left whatsoever. | ||
| And then the left still calls them Nazis. | ||
| So it doesn't, they gain nothing out of doing that. | ||
| And, you know, making an example out of them in that way is really important for being able to build a Republican Party that knows how to fight and knows how to win. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I want to drill down a little bit on the sort of the overall vibe among young people. | ||
| Because, look, we saw the group chat. | ||
| We read the text. | ||
| It's in the article, these sorts of things. | ||
| If you're older, that's obviously very scandalizing. | ||
| But for young people, it's not so much. | ||
| This is actually kind of familiar. | ||
| These group chats are typically quite edgy. | ||
| You know, there's a lot of dark humor, these sorts of things. | ||
| And a friend of mine, Nathan Halberstead, he posted this graph on Twitter that did numbers, which was showing the percentage of Americans who are homeowners and married by 30. | ||
| And it was like, what, 60, 70% in the 1970s? | ||
| And it's just completely fallen off a cliff where I think it was hovering around like 10% today. | ||
| And I look at stuff like that. | ||
| I look at a variety of metrics that indicate how bad or how difficult it is for young people to properly matriculate into adulthood, right? | ||
| Like a lot of these conventional avenues are being shut off. | ||
| And so it's like, it's no wonder that these guys, the young people broadly, which would include myself, are kind of edgy. | ||
| They're kind of a little, they have a little less regard for convention because ultimately convention has failed them. | ||
| Ultimately, the Orthodox pathways have failed them. | ||
| So they're going to, you know, be a little rough around the edges just naturally. | ||
| It just comes with the territory. | ||
| But I don't know. | ||
| Maybe you can drill down a little bit on that. | ||
| Well, I mean, I'm not going to defend, you know, a lot of the things that were said in that chart. | ||
| I'm not going to, you know, defend. | ||
| It was a lot of tasteless content. | ||
| But I think just generally speaking, the Republican base, especially young people in the Republican base, have been pushed to a point where they just don't care about how they're interpreted anymore. | ||
| Because if you come out again in support of lower tax rates, they will call you a Nazi at this point. | ||
| If you come out and you say, I don't want unlimited immigration or I actually just want to stop illegal immigration, they call you a Nazi. | ||
| So if they call you a Nazi, even when you're being a moderate Republican, if you're saying things that probably 70% of Americans can agree on, then what's the point in trying to adhere to those lines? | ||
| Eventually, people stop caring. | ||
| Eventually, people stop giving a hoot and they just start spouting off. | ||
| And I think that's a point where the left has taken a lot of people in the right too. | ||
| And the establishment GOP just doesn't recognize that because at the end of the day, they don't have to face that. | ||
| They aren't in contact with the left. | ||
| They don't know what it's like to be in close contact with the left. | ||
| College students like the ones that I represent in my role as chairman, they are on campus and face harassment from left-wing people all the time. | ||
| But if you are living in a multi-million dollar mansion in Northern Virginia and the only experience that you have with the opposite side of the aisle is in the halls of Capitol Hill, you're not going to get that same experience. | ||
| And that's a dichotomy. | ||
| That's sort of the contrast of experiences that's being formed. | ||
| And until it is resolved, the young base will continue to be at odds with the older establishment element of the Republican Party. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| We're running against the clock. | ||
| We have a little more time. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Do you have any, maybe, any closing thoughts, maybe how what sort of reaction you would like to see, maybe from these GOP apparatchiks? | ||
| Well, I mean, the reaction I want to see is the reaction I saw from JD Vance and Brandon Gill and a whole lot of other people, which is the Democrats never condemned Jay Jones. | ||
| Nobody has revoked their endorsements for Jay Jones after what he did. | ||
| If they want to play like that, then we'll play like that too. | ||
| We're going to fight fire with fire. | ||
| And we're not, you know, we're not in the mood to punch right. | ||
| We just want to punch left. | ||
| And that's the only way that we're going to be able to actually not only push the overtune window, but actually prevent the left from having political power in this country in the way that they did during the Biden administration, because they're angling to get back into it. | ||
| And the number one thing that they want when they hopefully, you know, they want to reclaim power, they want to defeat Vance or whoever it's going to be in 2028, they want that precedent to be set so that they can really restrict freedom of speech in this country to prevent another Trump or Republican or conservative or right-wing presidency from ever happening again. | ||
| And the number one thing that's going to help them achieve that precedent is by labeling all of their political opponents as Nazis, fascists, whatever. | ||
| They want to make sure that we can be as alienated as humanly possible. | ||
| And the only way that we're going to prevent that from happening is by getting Republicans who will stand up and press all the fire to the left. | ||
| Dude, so good. | ||
| So good. | ||
| Thank you for your insights, man. | ||
| Thanks for hopping on. | ||
| Where can people find you if they want more? | ||
| I'm on X at Gabe Guterini. | ||
| You'll also find me on most of the other social media platforms as well. | ||
| But most of my political commentary and analysis is done on Twitter. | ||
| Guitarini. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I was trying to nail the pronunciation beforehand. | ||
| It's so Italian, I could taste the wine as I was saying it. | ||
| It was fantastic. | ||
| Well, thank you so much, man. | ||
| We'll have you back here sometime soon. | ||
| So appreciate it, man. | ||
| Appreciate it, man. | ||
| Thanks for having me on. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| All righty. | ||
| Well, that was the College Republican. | ||
| He has his finger on the pulse. | ||
| He has his finger on the pulse, and that's why we had to bring him on. | ||
| I couldn't think of anyone better to break this down. | ||
| Totally correct. | ||
| JD Vance setting the framing, correct. | ||
| He just gets it. | ||
| He really just does get it. | ||
| And if you're to the left of JD Vance right now, if you're to, not just that, let's just kind of, you know, stick a step back. | ||
| If you're to the left of the vice president of the United States, what are you doing? | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| You know, you got to take a long, long look in the mirror. | ||
| So with that, I'm going to wind us down. | ||
| We are going to raid Devore Dawkins. | ||
| He is live, and we're going to give him a raid here. | ||
| Let me get this fired, fired up. | ||
| Raid. | ||
| See if I can get this. | ||
| Boom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
| I'm losing my young status here. | ||
| Okay, we got it. | ||
| So raid is fired up, and we're confirming the raid to Devori Darkens. | ||
| He's fantastic. | ||
| You guys are going to love it. | ||
| So, yeah, thanks for watching. | ||
| You can follow me on X and Instagram and elsewhere at RealTate Brown. | ||
| Come follow me over there. | ||
| We'll be back tonight at 8 p.m. for Timcast IRL. | ||
| And it's going to be a great show tonight. | ||
| You are not going to want to miss it. | ||
| So I'll be there tonight. |
