Transcript

[Austin]

When it comes to Trump, I didn't want to say he was like, the best ever, this, that, but he was the obvious Choice in the 2024 election. Imagine if Kamala got in. It wouldn't have stopped.

[Brian]

We'd be overrun, and the censorship would have been so bad.

[Austin]

So bad. Gavin Newsom's the worst, man. I've gotten death threats off one interview. That was the big one where I started to get a lot of death threats because people made some of these clips go viral and people sought me out. My Instagram private messages is full of people wanting to kill me or calling me a loser.

[Brian]

Okay, guys, got BO on today. You'd call yourself a comedian, right?

[Austin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brian]

Diving into politics now.

[Austin]

Exactly.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Political comedy is actually where I started everything. I was making jokes on this thing called the Update. You didn't ask for where I was doing political jokes on headlines. So it'd be something like Hunter Biden or. Excuse me, the White House is. Oh, the White House wants to reduce climate change by blocking out the sun. I'm like, I agree. He's dropping cocaine all over the place. So things like that. And. And that didn't take off. I think, like, Facebook and Meta was a little different back then. I think they were actually punishing people for mentioning political viewpoints. It's always agreed with. So they kept your. Your profile pretty low. But it's nice to actually watch Facebook open up these last several months or year and a half. Right.

[Brian]

Facebook and Instagram have been nice to me.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Compared to the other platforms.

[Austin]

Yeah. X has been good, too.

[Brian]

X is good since Elon took over. But TikTok is so bad. I know it is.

[Austin]

And even now, they've. It's weir. We've gone into a new kind of censorship, especially with the Republican Party. Now they're censoring what I would say is any sort of anti Jewish sentiment. And it's just. It's. It's censorship 2.0.

[Brian]

Yeah, it's bad. Yeah, it's really bad. Did you see what happened to. Who is that documentary maker? He just got his Patreon deleted.

[Austin]

Oh, I have no idea.

[Brian]

You didn't see this? Oh, Tyler Oliveira.

[Austin]

Oh, no way.

[Brian]

Have you heard of him?

[Austin]

Yeah, I have.

[Brian]

So he did a. A documentary on Jewish corruption in New Jersey, and then within 24 hours, his whole Patreon got nuked. And I think that was one of his main revenue streams.

[Austin]

You know, I haven't been a big, like, Nick Fuentes watcher over these last several years. He's kind of grown. And. And it's funny, a couple of my buds have actually introduced me to him. But hearing his Tucker story, his interview, you start to understand a little bit more about what happened to him. And that just happened to Tyler Oliveira.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

That's wild.

[Brian]

Yeah. And for Nick, it was even worse because it was for years straight. Yeah. Like for five, ten years, I think.

[Austin]

Yeah. It's. It's ironic that when you mention a certain group of people, they completely take you off of their. Their platform. Yeah. Just what is that supposed to do for people? Build up more resentment.

[Brian]

I don't think it's going to play out well over time. Right. No, you can't talk about it.

[Austin]

Yeah. All the young people are. Are really upset, like when it comes to even Donald Trump right now, because they think he's a puppet for Israel, you know?

[Brian]

Yeah. What do you think about that? Because the approval ratings, I don't know if you believe that, but it's the lowest it's ever been right now.

[Austin]

Yeah. You know, I mean, how can we believe the ratings anymore after these last several elections? Right. I do think his approval rating is lower. I think there's multiple reasons for that. He came in here claiming to be a no New wars president, and while I don't think he started any new wars, he's on the precipice of several all at one time. Right. Venezuela was interesting because he went in two hours and came out, and that was actually pretty epic. You want to talk about American might. That kind of proves it. Right. But when it comes to Iran and all these Middle east countries I had mentioned before, and I'll mention again, I'm kind of sick of the Middle East. My entire life has been war with the Middle East. So I'm just over it. And I'm kind of curious, how does that benefit America? It feels like it benefits another group more than it benefits us. And so you're seeing a lot of people in the Republican Party, the MAGA First Party, moving their way out of it into the America First Party. And people like to associate that with Nick Fuentes. And I understand that for me, America first simply means we're going to take America as a number one priority over any other country. And I do think that that's more important. I hope most people would agree with.

[Brian]

I agree. Yeah. We got to get out of the Middle east, bro.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

What about Mexico? You think the US should get involved with the cartel stuff going on right now?

[Austin]

You know, I do think things are regional. Right. So when we go to fight wars in the Middle East. I have a little bit more of a problem with that than Venezuela, who's directly to our south, and the cartel. And something that I would like to share with you that I don't share with many people is I lost my twin brother to fentanyl. And when you hear that all these drugs are trafficked through our southern and northern borders by the cartel and other countries, I don't really care what happens to them. I am totally down with going in and destroying the cartel for the benefit of Mexico and us.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

I do worry about the reflection that that's going to have on America when it comes to our farming and our ag agriculture, because I know the cartel owns the avocado farms, they own a lot of agricultural that's going on in Mexico, and they also own the Mexican government. So when you have politicians getting killed over it and they're our next door neighbor, what are we supposed to do? Just let them do it?

[Brian]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Austin]

Especially when it bleeds. If it never bled into America, I don't think it'd be a problem. But it bleeds right into America. And you know what's wild, man? The last four years, they let fentanyl come across the border, which murdered and killed young men and women between the ages of 20 and 40.

[Brian]

Millions of people.

[Austin]

Yeah. Million. I don't know about. You said billions.

[Brian]

Millions.

[Austin]

Millions of people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Millions of people. And then they just let people come right into our country on the southern border and then give them tax incentives. And it makes you think that this whole white replacement is real and you don't even have to say whether it is or isn't anymore. It seems like. It doesn't seem. It seems. It is very real. It's happening right in front of us, so.

[Brian]

Well, statistically, white people in our lifetime will become the minority, I believe. Yeah. Just if the trends continue as is. Yeah. Which is crazy, right?

[Austin]

It is crazy. But with the industrialization of the world, is it also something that is inevitable? Is the question I have. So with the world and it comes to, you know, travel in planes and everything else, eventually we'll all homogenize. We'll be one race. But that's hundreds of years down the road versus right now. And I do think it's more important to save our culture than anything else.

[Brian]

Right.

[Austin]

And our culture is being eroded right

[Brian]

in front of us. Yeah. That's why you started the white privilege perfume.

[Austin]

Yeah, I actually did it because I think the idea of white privilege is racist. Oh, yeah. And it's like a double standard. Right. It's really funny. You put it in front of a liberal, and they go, ew, I don't want you a racist cologne. And I go, oh, so you agree white privilege is racist? They go, no. Oh, isn't that an interesting perspective? So it's kind of like the N word. You know, black people use the N word. And what do they call it? They humanize the word, and then they use it all the time. Then told everybody else they can't use it. Well, that's what we're doing. We're actually making a play on the words that they've used against us. In that jubilee interview, when I kind of made fun of the word colonizer, and she asked me, you think colonizing is cool? Yeah, I do think it's cool. It's why we have the society we have today. And then I mentioned that we were currently being colonized, and they called me crazy. And then they actually, there was a part of the interview that they may have left out, at least in a short clip, where I'm like, they. They asked me the definition, and I go, colonizing is like colonizing another country. Like, what does that mean? And then they cut out when I actually said, well, they. They set up areas and territories within a country, and they start to create their own enclaves. Right. Like I said, like, what's happening in Somali right now? Or, excuse me, what's happening with the Somali community in Minnesota right now? And they all just kind of brushed it off. But that is what I would consider colonization. Look what's happening in the UK right now.

[Brian]

Oh, yeah.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Most common name is Muhammad over there.

[Austin]

That's insane.

[Brian]

Insane.

[Austin]

And yet they're crushing their people. So what is happening to the governments around the world? And I'm so glad America recognized it and voted in Donald Trump to stop it.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Because what happened with the borders these last four years is insane.

[Brian]

Imagine another four to eight years of that.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

If that happened.

[Austin]

Yeah. In fact, that's one of the things I wanted to talk about, Brian, is like, when it comes to Trump, I didn't want to say he was, like, the best ever, this, that. But he was the obvious Choice in the 2024 election. Imagine if Kamala got in. It wouldn't have stopped.

[Brian]

Agreed.

[Austin]

We'd be overrun.

[Brian]

And the censorship would have been so bad.

[Austin]

So bad.

[Brian]

I can't even picture, like, we probably wouldn't have been able to do what we're doing right now.

[Austin]

Yeah. Until that would have been destroyed.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Would have been wrecked. Yeah. If Elon didn't buy it and then

[Austin]

say goodbye to Europe.

[Brian]

Yeah. Europe's. I don't know if Europe could be saved at this point.

[Austin]

You know, when you listen to Tommy Robinson a little bit, you kind of have that hope. And didn't they have, like, a huge rally this last week or the week before?

[Brian]

Tommy might have. Yeah. He's been doing what he can.

[Austin]

Yeah. But I. You're right. I. I don't know if it's. It's too late or not. I hope it's not.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

But it's a lot harder to get him out. It's a lot easier to get him in. That's true. And that's what we're struggling with right now. Right?

[Brian]

Yeah. Yeah. All the ice stuff, I started to pull out. Right.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Soda. What did you think about that?

[Austin]

Kind of. You know, the idea is they got the job done. The question is, did they really? Yeah. I kind of wish they had gone harder. I'm a little upset, and I think we all are going back to Trump's approval rating. We're a little upset that he hasn't arrested anybody. We know that there are deep state shills. Tulsi Gabbard came out and said that Barack Obama committed. Did she say seditious conspiracy?

[Brian]

Something like that?

[Austin]

Something like that. Yet no arrest has happened yet. They'll arrest Donald Trump for over nothing and then accuse him of 34 other felonies to try to get him in jail forever. So I kind of love how Trump is like this. No revenge guy, but we've been saying this for years, and we want to see accountability 100%. That's not too much to ask for.

[Brian]

Not at all. You think anyone will get arrested from the files?

[Austin]

I have no idea.

[Brian]

I've seen false.

[Austin]

I hope they need to be. But then you have people right in his party that are involved. And that's another thing. Howard Lutnick sitting right behind him in his ear all day.

[Brian]

Right.

[Austin]

And I don't know if Howard did anything that would get an arrest, but he should certainly be investigated at this point, considering he lied about it so many times. And then you got Trump in the Oval Office kind of making fun of him a little bit, like, oh, magically, this guy didn't show up on 9 11. His wife wanted to take his kids to work. I thought that was funny. But, yeah, when it comes to Minnesota, I wish Trump had gone harder. Anybody that's protesting federal law enforcement is fine. Anybody that's stopping federal law enforcement from doing their job is committing a felony and they should be arrested and put in jail. And we've seen Tim Waltz, Ilhan Omar get away with fraud. I'm sure there's connections. Find them or at least indict them and then investigate them. What they're doing is they're funneling this money into Somalis. And I don't, I don't, I don't blame the Somalis for it. They're getting free money like, let's go. But then it's right back into the NGOs that all of these Democrats are running and back into their pockets for the fundraisers.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Do you ever look at your bank account and feel like you're getting hit with fees for no reason? Like overdraft fees, monthly fees, ATM fees just for using your own money? That's exactly why I want to put

[Brian]

you onto something better.

[Austin]

I just, I find it hard to believe that there's nothing there.

[Brian]

Yeah, almost impossible. I mean, Mick Shirley did expose a lot, I feel like.

[Austin]

Yeah, then they'll sit here and call him. Not a journalist.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Insane. Paid shill. Yeah. Yeah. Paid shill. There was. This was something recent. So even he's in L. A. Right now, housing fraud. And he talked about a UPS And PO Boxes. And we all know if you have a PO Box registered for your voting address, it's illegal. And, like, oh, but there are apartments above. Like, that excuses people having PO Boxes. So.

[Brian]

Nuts.

[Austin]

It's nuts. Yeah.

[Brian]

No voter ID needed in Cali, I think.

[Austin]

Right. But you need to shovel snow in New York.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

It's laughable. Did you see the SOTU address last night?

[Brian]

So, no, I actually didn't.

[Austin]

Okay. So State of the Union, you might have seen some clips this morning. Donald Trump flat out asked them if you think it's more important to protect American citizens over illegal aliens. Stand up. And the Democrats just sat there.

[Brian]

Wow.

[Austin]

What in your. Right. I don't care. Like, listen, Irina Zariska, that thing happened was horrible. Her parents, they should have stood up for that. But that alone there shows me that we have people in Congress that are willing to fight for other people outside of our country over our own country people. And that just is unacceptable. It's treasonous, in my opinion. And you have to wonder where we're going to go as a society when half of the political aisle thinks that way.

[Brian]

I can't believe. So not a single Democrat stood up?

[Austin]

I don't think so.

[Brian]

Holy shit.

[Austin]

Not even Ro Khanna.

[Brian]

Oh, my God.

[Austin]

And, like, I was like, okay, so when it comes to the Irina Zaruska thing or the trans stuff, you have Ro Khanna advocating for the Epstein files, probably because he thought Trump was in them.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

And then turns around and doesn't stand up. When you have people initiating or creating laws that allow physicians, school teachers to take parents, children away from them for transgender surgeries and transitions. He didn't stand up for that. So do you really care about the children, Roe? I liked Rokhan up until that point.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

That's nuts. Have you always been pretty conservative?

[Austin]

Nah.

[Brian]

Really?

[Austin]

I didn't. People are gonna hate me for saying this. I did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016. Wow. I think it was a mixture of the LA atmosphere, the friends I was surrounded by, and the fact that he wasn't politically involved. I go, this is a little weird.

[Brian]

Yeah, I'll do a LA atmosphere.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

That alone would do it. Yeah.

[Austin]

But it didn't take long before I was like, this is crazy. Like, why do people hate him so much? And then you do a Little bit of research, you find out they're lying about him. And then when the pandemic happened, I just did a complete switch. I consider myself a pretty moderate Republican, but when the pandemic happened, I just go, we're allowed to analyze our own risks and make those for ourselves. That's what a free country is.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

I don't care about your rules and regulations here. I'm not going to get your vaccine because I've seen people get sick after they take it. And I did a complete flip. So I voted for Trump, then voted for him again in 2024, because I think that he's the Freedom President, so. And they'll tell you it's his fault that everybody got locked down. No, he put it in the Democrats hands. The governors were responsible for locking people down or not. That's why Florida and North Dakota were able to stay open. Yeah.

[Brian]

You were in LA during the lockdown.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Oh, God. Dude, that was wild. You needed a car just to eat there.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Crazy.

[Austin]

Yeah. It was nuts because I was with. Living with some roommates and we'd get in their car and they'd put on their mask. I'm just thinking to myself, like, oh, me and you have been next to each other the entire. There's nobody else in this car. What's going on?

[Brian]

They really brainwashed. That was a PSYOP.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

100%.

[Austin]

They want. I think it was a test.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

They want to see how far they could push us.

[Brian]

Yeah. And who knows what they'll do on the next one. Exactly.

[Austin]

I don't know if there will be a next one.

[Brian]

I don't think there would be. I think people know about the vaccines now. Yeah. I don't think they'll play that card again, but it'll be something else.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

You know, who knows?

[Austin]

And then so. So I kind of became Republican between 16 and 20. I would consider myself conservative, but I'm more of like a. A moderate Republican. Like, there are things that, you know, I'm a little bit more pro choice than a Republican would be. They're pro life. Hardcore.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

And then I saw them having abortions at nine, eight and nine months. And I go, I guess I'm pro life now because that's insane.

[Brian]

Yeah. The Tradcon movement got a lot of heat. Yeah. Especially with the whole Elijah Schaefer thing.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Oh, my God. I had both of them on Amfest.

[Austin]

Really?

[Brian]

Sarah came on. I think Elijah came on right after. I had no idea.

[Austin]

Well, Elijah. Love Elijah. He's been in it For a long time. But Sarah was pushing this whole thing like, oh, you should be a trad wife. All you people that don't do it are whores. And then that guy, she said she

[Brian]

was a virgin on multiple podcasts.

[Austin]

What a liar.

[Brian]

I can't respect that.

[Austin]

Yeah. What do you think about the whole E. Girl movement?

[Brian]

I wouldn't date them personally, but so many simps these days, dude.

[Austin]

100%.

[Brian]

You know what I mean?

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

I can understand why they have an audience.

[Austin]

Yeah. If you're a hot girl, it's a little easier to. I mean, back in. Back on YouTube, I can't remember the year, but early YouTube days, people put the caption photos with just boobs and be something entirely different. They would still get the click and the view.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Genius.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

So it's clear that there is people that want to look at boobs more than anything else. And there's a clear disparity there between whether people get more attention or not. So women will gain more attention if they're flaunting themselves. And that's what makes you wonder about the whole E. Girl and trad wife thing. If you're online flaunting yourself and you're getting tons of views, is it because you have a great opinion or it's because you have nice pair of jugs?

[Brian]

You know, usually looks. Yeah, I see that in the political commentary space too, with the woman.

[Austin]

But Sarah's not even that good looking.

[Brian]

She's not my type. Yeah, she's not.

[Austin]

She's pretty average. Pretty mid.

[Brian]

Yeah. Nothing crazy.

[Austin]

She just had that one thing on Jubilee that went viral.

[Brian]

Which one?

[Austin]

I think it was the one about the. The gay guy having butt sex and she said something in the mouth of, like, demonic. If it's safe, then why do they have incontinence?

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Yeah. And so go super viral. Then get on Elijah Schaefer's Rift tv and. And there you go.

[Brian]

Yeah. Elijah wants to come back on to share his side.

[Austin]

That's.

[Brian]

That's a crazy story.

[Austin]

It is a crazy story. Yeah.

[Brian]

I don't know what to think of it. Yeah.

[Austin]

You know, people make mistakes. And you know what's been nice? I don't know Elijah very well. I know a couple people in his circle. And have you seen the Red Reformation podcast?

[Brian]

Reformation? Who shows up?

[Austin]

Josh Himes.

[Brian]

I haven't seen those.

[Austin]

Josh Heims. Great guy, very Christian oriented. And he's kind of like bringing Elijah under his wing a little bit because I think Josh has a. A church that he goes to and he might actually give sermons. Josh. I'm sorry if I just messed that up, but he's kind of bringing Elijah under his wing towards his Christianity, his goals in Christianity. And the thing I love about Christianity is like, you can make those sins and you can ask for forgiveness. So we should at least be. Give him the benefit of the doubt that he kind of coming to Christ.

[Brian]

Right.

[Austin]

And getting over all of his. What do you call it? His not ambitions, his. What's the word for sins? Sure. But he's basically giving into his urges and leading to Christ.

[Brian]

Hopefully.

[Austin]

That's.

[Brian]

Yeah, that makes sense. Are you Christian?

[Austin]

I am Christian, yeah. I wouldn't say I'm a good Christian. Coming a better Christian every day.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Something that gets out of hand. I'm not.

[Austin]

You're not?

[Brian]

I'm not.

[Austin]

Are you an atheist?

[Brian]

No, I used to be.

[Austin]

Okay. I was a dark time, so more like agnostic.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

That's kind of where I was for a long time. I don't have any sort of delineation under the Christian hood, so I'm kind of discovering that as we go.

[Brian]

Yeah. That's when I started getting confused. There's so many.

[Austin]

I'll tell you what, man, it was the pandemic that brought me closer to Christ. Really. Yeah. We see what's going on in the world. And living in la, out of all places I work in, I shouldn't say

[Brian]

where I work, just so we avoid doxed and swatted.

[Austin]

Exactly. But when you see places in LA and specifically like that, the West Hollywood area. Right. You look around and you go, am I in the middle of Sodom and Gomorrah? Like, what's going on? I have nothing wrong with gay people or trans people or anything. But it makes you question a lot of. A lot. A lot of things. And then you open the book and you go, oh, they talked about this stuff.

[Brian]

Crazy. Yeah. Well, I think somewhere in la, like a major city like that, you need some good guidance.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Or else you're going to get lost in it 100%. So to have Christianity guiding you, I think is valuable.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Because you see a lot of people get wrecked out there. 100. There's all lives get turned up, down.

[Austin]

Well, look at what's happened with the whole Hollywood industry.

[Brian]

Right.

[Austin]

Most of it is if you don't give yourself up as a sexual object, then you're never actually going to be famous.

[Brian]

Right. Guys and girls, guys. And I know guys that want to be actors out there and older men try to sleep with them to get

[Austin]

roles, 100 even straight dudes.

[Brian]

Right.

[Austin]

So, yeah, it's wild.

[Brian]

It's weird, dude. Yeah, man.

[Austin]

Demonic, to say the least.

[Brian]

It makes sense why they say, like, sell your soul out there.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

For. For fame.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

When you put it that way. So you're still in L. A dealing with Newsom. Good for you, man.

[Austin]

Yeah, man. You know what's crazy, man, is LA is the most beautiful place in the entire world. I would say La SoCal and the people that run it have absolutely destroyed it.

[Brian]

Yeah, I agree. I think weather wise, it's the best in the country. Food wise, it's up there.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

People wise, pretty good networking, but yeah, just the politics. Yeah. Oh, my God.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

We talk a lot on this show about making money online, building leverage, but most people still think you need a huge following to start. You don't. That's why I've been looking into Fan View. It's a platform where you can take content you're already making or content you want to start making, and actually turn it into income.

[Brian]

And it's simple.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

You create content, upload it, and start building a direct relationship with your audience. From there, you can offer exclusive content subscriptions and basically build recurring income around

[Brian]

what you're already doing. What I like is, is how accessible it is.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

You don't need a big audience, you don't need experience. You can start from zero and grow it into something real. And it works across niches, not just

[Brian]

one type of creator.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

It's really just about starting and then scaling from there.

[Brian]

So if you've ever thought about building

[Sponsor Voice 1]

something online but didn't know where to start, this is one of the easiest

ways to do it.

[Austin]

I'm paying $2,400 for a two bedroom apartment. And then it's right on the LA River.

[Brian]

That's on the cheaper side. I feel like for LA24, get on finding that one. Yeah.

[Austin]

But right on the LA river, you have an encampment being built and you have to ask yourself, like, what's going on? They're breaking multiple laws, vandalism, lingering. Not lingering, loitering. Vandalism. They're doing drugs in jail. Yeah. Smoking crack pipes. And it was weird. When they're on the other side of the river and this is how demoralized we are. I care less. You're on the other side of the river. Okay, fine. When they come to my side, I actually go there and speak to them and say, hey, guys, listen, you gotta get out of here. I can't have you anywhere near here. We got kids and families in these apartment complexes. You need to leave.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

And what's good is most of them do. But why do I have to do that for real? And when. When they don't move, then what do we do? We call the police. They don't do anything. No, that's gonna lead to Lando.

[Brian]

Awesome.

[Austin]

Then they'll arrest me. It's crazy.

[Brian]

What do you. Because Cali's received tons of money to deal with this issue. What do you think about actually trying to fix homelessness?

[Austin]

Oh, they're thieves. It's easy. Just. Just honor the law. Really easy. Yeah, Just follow the law, arrest them, put them in jail. But they don't want to because they're funneling money. How does Gavin Newsom buy a $9 million house on a governor's salary when he can't fix the homeless problem? And, you know, you've heard the stories. 24 billion goes missing. Where'd it go?

[Brian]

Yeah, that's a lot.

[Austin]

And now, apparently, he's funding money into this group called Churla, which is actively trying to put together protests to go against Donald Trump's ICE and get people out of the country. That seems to me like insurrection or sedition at the least, Right?

[Brian]

I don't know.

[Austin]

But Gavin Newsom and the homeless problem and the taxes. You can't buy a house there. Is leading to the destruction of California. Businesses are leaving.

[Brian]

You can't build a house there, too. No, it takes a year to get a permit.

[Austin]

Yeah, a permit. And then if you want a fireplace, another permit. You want this? Another permit.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

So, yeah, it's impossible.

[Brian]

Yeah. Did you see him talk about black people the other day?

[Austin]

Yeah, we all saw that.

[Brian]

I was wild. How out of touch.

[Austin]

I'm just like you. I said, give reparations.

[Brian]

I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a joke. I thought it was AI at first.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

It was that bad.

[Austin]

I did see another video go out. This guy kind of panned over to the audience. It wasn't like an all black audience, but he's got a black host right in front of him.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

And he's saying, I'm dyslexic or I can't read. Didn't. Wasn't there, like, two weeks ago. He was saying that. Oh, it's mean to say that somebody's illiterate or whatever. It's like, wait, but you are, and you're claiming it Right here on stage. You can't read, so then you're offended when somebody brings it up. Gavin Newsom's the worst man, and there's

[Brian]

a good chance he's going to win the Democratic nomination.

[Austin]

Yeah. There's no way he's going to win president, though.

[Brian]

I don't think so.

[Austin]

Well, being in California, you. I. I could. I talk to Democrats all the time, surrounded by him. We all hate Gavin Newsom. We all know he's responsible for what's been happening in California. We walk down the street, we see people doing drugs and needles on the ground. You all know it's Governor Newsom that's instituting these laws. And Karen Bass is destroying the country as well. Destroying the city as well.

[Brian]

Sam, she's awful. She's almost as bad as him, in my opinion.

[Austin]

Agreed. Well, you know, it's two birds flock together. Is that the same?

[Brian]

Yeah, something like that.

[Austin]

Yeah. It makes total sense. They get somebody in the mayorship for that. That. That is in cahoots with the governor. That's how you hide the fraud.

[Brian]

Biden winning 20. You just never know, dude. Like, if they pull off the mailings again.

[Austin]

Yeah. How do. Have we not passed the SAVE Act? I don't know. Who disagrees with voter id?

[Brian]

Liberals.

[Austin]

Yeah. Insane. I wanted to ask you, what do you think about Spencer Pratt?

[Brian]

I don't. I haven't seen the polls. Is he doing well in the. In the polls?

[Austin]

Yeah, he seems to be doing really well online. I don't know about them. Yes.

[Brian]

He's supposed to come on. So I don't know. Spencer, how do you feel about him?

[Austin]

I'm psyched about him.

[Brian]

You like him?

[Austin]

Well, I think his whole angle had been genius. He hasn't picked a political side. He may be a registered Republican or a registered Democrat, but his goal is we need to find out what happened with the Palisades fires. He's got ambition and he's got drive. And if the fires had to happen for him to assume that position, I'm really excited to see what happens.

[Brian]

Yeah. There was too many coincidences with those fires for it to be a total failure.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Like, it doesn't make sense.

[Austin]

100. So I feel like they wanted more to burn. That's the sad part.

[Brian]

Yeah. Wouldn't surprise me.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

There's a lot of, like, energy weapons that people don't know about.

[Austin]

Yeah. And kind of Donald Trump pointed to that when they invaded Venezuela real quick, Right?

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Two hours. Right.

[Austin]

The Mexican army just fell. Excuse me. The Venezuelan army fell. To their knees. They couldn't handle it.

[Brian]

Crazy.

[Austin]

Crazy.

[Brian]

You do another jubilee debate anytime soon? Probably. You did well on that first one.

[Austin]

Thank you, man. Watch what you see.

[Brian]

I saw the two on two. One.

[Austin]

Okay.

[Brian]

Have you been on a couple of them?

[Austin]

Yeah, I've done a couple of the surrounded.

[Brian]

Okay. So I feel like the two on two one, you really held your ground and stood out from everyone.

[Austin]

Thanks, man. Everybody was hating on the jacket. I'm like, if you're talking about the jacket, then you ain't talking about what I said.

[Brian]

So it turned into a one on

[Austin]

three, which I thought exactly.

[Brian]

Kind of funny.

[Austin]

It, it was, you know, it was honestly shocking when the so called Republican sitting next to me goes, I want reparations for people. I'd be pissed if I didn't get reparations.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

And that blew my mind.

[Brian]

That's a liberal take.

[Austin]

I became kind of defensive in that debate versus I was having fun in the beginning and I was like, oh man, what's going on? You started getting on edge. Yeah. Actually it's funny because they moved a couple of the topics around. So if they'd kept them in the same order, the topic that immediately followed that whole reparations debate, you can see I'm just like, okay, we gotta be a little bit more strategic in how we, how we talk to these people. Because I am surrounded. So that's funny. Yeah. And I actually was really zoned in at that point. I was like, I could have done that the whole time, but I'd like to have a good time and joke around with people. And when the guy next to me claimed that he wanted reparations for everybody, I go, you're not a Republican. You're certainly not an Independent. That's full blown. Now he was saying words like oppressor and oppressed. That's full blown cultural Marxist. You can't be a Republican and a cultural Marxist at the same time. And you're also violating the 14th Amendment equal protection under the law. So if you want to give race based tax incentives or race based reparations, you're violating the 14th amendment, the very thing you fought for. So at that point, I go, okay, I'm in a debate. I'm in a three on one. This guy wants reparations. He's a cultural Marxist sitting next to me. I need to be a little bit more careful about my words. And it was shocking. And I kind of called him out online a lot and he was like, just stop it, Just stop it at one point.

[Brian]

And there's only one way to settle it now.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

If you want to debate this guy one on one.

[Austin]

Austin, come on, man. Let's have the debate.

[Brian]

I'll set it up. He debated Shadow Jackson on my show about mlk.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

How'd that go in the comments? It looks like he lost. He's a huge MLK supporter. Chad is not. And that was an interesting debate. MLK was definitely not what he. We were taught growing up.

[Austin]

I think I agree. Well, my mom actually said that when I was growing up. She was like, what you're hearing about MLK isn't exactly what went down.

[Brian]

Oh. She was like, whoa.

[Austin]

Oh, mom, that's a hot take back then. That is a hot take back then. It's early 2000s.

[Brian]

Yeah. Because we were so indoctrinated on him in history class.

[Austin]

100%. And you know what? There is a part of, like, what he had done, or at least what we were taught about him that I can really get behind. Yeah. Peaceful protests.

[Brian]

Agreed.

[Austin]

There was a letter from the Birmingham jail where he said, hey, guys, do it peacefully. And there's. You've seen it throughout history. Gandhi himself, that creates cultural change. I didn't realize that he was kind of for, like, the communist more sense. And, you know, listening to Chadow Jackson about that stuff is eye opening, to say the least.

[Brian]

I think they're dropping some MLK files this year.

[Austin]

Wild.

[Brian]

Yeah. And there's some rumors about orgies and weird.

[Austin]

Oh, yeah. What a good Christian, right?

[Brian]

Yeah. Some weird going on.

[Austin]

Yeah. I just found out him and Sarah should be pretty cool.

[Brian]

Oh, God. I just found out Rosa Parks was orchestrated as well.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

It makes you really wonder how much of history was just lying.

[Austin]

It also makes me wonder what's going on with history now. Like, I kind of question everything. So when we're hearing a different story about Rosa Parks than what we were taught, I think both are valid. We should look at both of them and then figure out what may or may not be true. Right. But I do worry about, like, the whole, like, reverse of everything. Like, okay, we're just changing things. Let's really get down to it. But some of the evidence provided for Rosa Parks. She had a car.

[Brian]

Yes.

[Austin]

I didn't know she had a. What's she doing on a bus?

[Brian]

There was a photographer as soon as she got off the bus already.

[Austin]

How ironic to be there. Yeah. I was not confident there was a photographer. And CNN were there when Donald Trump got shot. Right. Did you hear about that?

[Brian]

Weren't they supposed to live stream that speech? Or something.

[Austin]

I don't know. But CNN didn't usually live stream Donald Trump's campaign speeches randomly. They were at the one in Pennsylvania.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Huh.

[Brian]

And that's like a small city in pa. Yeah. They could have picked any major city he was at.

[Austin]

They didn't come out to Coachella when he was there.

[Brian]

Yeah. That's weird.

[Austin]

That is weird.

[Brian]

Mad.

[Austin]

Too many coincidences.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Some dark forces in the world.

[Austin]

We're lucky. What do you think about Trump's first year and a half?

[Brian]

First year in the second term.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

So he did what he said he

[Brian]

was going to do about the border. So I like the border stuff. Crypto's down, but I don't know if I'll attribute that to him. Economy, I mean, is kind of bad right now, if we're being honest. So I'm not sure if that's related to him because people like to say it's his fault, but there are a lot of factors.

[Austin]

I am a little shocked about the economy thing because eggs I purchased a few weeks ago for the first time under $5. I was like, oh, that's. That's cool. But I haven't seen, like, economically, for me, things that I'm purchasing that have been, like, shot up in price like they did in 20, 21 and 2.

[Brian]

That's true. Yeah. I think gas is a little down right now. Gas is down, but I could just tell from my business, like, my revenue's down, so I could tell people are hurting.

[Austin]

Okay.

[Brian]

You know. Yeah. That's sort of how I measure, like,

[Austin]

subscriptions and ad revenue, too.

[Brian]

Yeah. So I think certain things are down and certain things are up, but overall, it's. It's not as good as it was a couple years ago.

[Austin]

People are probably trying to balance their checkbooks.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

But again, I don't know if I attribute that to him being president. That's the easy cop out.

[Austin]

I just. I just remember seeing seen chicken go from 5 to $12, and I went, whoa, what is happening? And this is back in 2022. Yeah. I'm like, how can we afford this if this keeps happening? And they got it? What I would consider under control, but that was just insane. Gas, eight, nine dollars. So, yeah, I remember that. Yeah.

[Brian]

Especially in LA. LA.

[Austin]

Yeah. I think it broke 10 at one point. You looked at pictures of it and they're like, what's going on?

[Brian]

That's crazy.

[Austin]

Yeah. I got a motorcycle because of it. Really?

[Brian]

Wow.

[Austin]

Kind of a smart move, to be honest. I just watched a lot of.

[Brian]

Glad I Ain't usual.

[Austin]

No, no, no. But it's only like 20 bucks to fill out or it was 18 versus 60 bucks. Yeah.

[Brian]

Okay.

[Austin]

Yeah. So I'd take that to and from wherever I needed to go.

[Brian]

That's crazy. Yeah. I feel like we'll see how it plays out, but I think he'll have a better economy than Biden.

[Austin]

Yeah, I think so. What do you think about the tariffs?

[Brian]

I see mixed things on it, but logically it makes sense.

[Austin]

Did you think that from the beginning?

[Brian]

Yeah, because I'm pretty logical. So, like, logically it makes sense. Let's tax these countries that are already taxing us.

[Austin]

I honestly did. Like you're going to pay for it. It's like we're already paying for tariffs. And when it comes to what Jude said, just simple logic, I go, it makes sense that we tariff countries in order one to possibly bring back our industry, but because they rooted out all of our industry, so charge them that for that. We're also the number one materialistic country in the world, so they need our purchasing dollar, so why not charge them a little more? But for me, the tariffs, like, it seems kind of progressive if you ask me.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Who's ever offered to do that in the past?

[Brian]

No one.

[Austin]

No one. So why were people so against it? And then you go, what's your solution? And they don't have any.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

So, okay, so you can, you know, complain about tariffs, but why don't we give it a try? And people are just unwilling to do anything that Donald Trump thinks is a positive thing for the nation. And I don't think it's hurt us quite dramatically yet. I said I do, I do empathize with you a little bit. You know, when you say you're hurting a little bit business wise compared to the last couple of years. But yeah. So I think the tariffs are overall a good thing.

[Brian]

Yeah, we'll see. It's only a year in, people freak out, you know. Yeah. Plus, we're still inheriting the economy of the former president, so it's hard to base everything off Trump.

[Austin]

Yeah. It's crazy that Democrats will use that as a term to justify the reason prices went up so much under Joe Biden. I try to avoid that because I feel that it was Joe Biden's cutting off of oil war starting out in Ukraine and Russia that led to the increase in prices.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

And this force to try to get onto an electrical kind of system. So I try to avoid the whole, like last. Especially like a year in the last party because Trump had positive effects as soon as he got in.

[Brian]

That's true.

[Austin]

It was actually listening to SOTU address last night. You forgot a lot of the good things that he did.

[Brian]

He signed a lot of orders as soon as he got in.

[Austin]

And the Trump drug prices, for example, like, I. I don't follow that very closely, but Mark Cuban came out a week ago and said what Trump did with Trump RX was good.

[Brian]

Really?

[Austin]

And I was actually impressed. Okay. Mark Cuban, fair enough. He created competition within the industry and lowered prices. That's amazing.

[Brian]

I didn't even know about Trump rx, to be honest.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Because Mark Cuban has a drug company.

[Austin]

Yeah. These cost less drugs or whatever.

[Brian]

Something like that. Yeah.

[Austin]

And hey, kudos to Mark Cuban for that. Amazing.

[Brian]

Yeah. Because he's not making much money off it. He's just doing it to help people. So.

[Austin]

Yeah, that. And that's a beautiful story, right?

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Just like, kind of, Trump doesn't take in a salary for being president, but there are things that Trump does that are questionable. Like the crypto thing.

[Brian]

Yeah. That was whack.

[Austin]

I don't know much about it.

[Brian]

That was whack.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

I do hear liberals say Trump's made a lot of money as president. What do you think about that argument?

[Austin]

I don't. I don't see the proof, but maybe that's because I'm not in their echo chamber. I also see liberals saying that Elon Musk fixed the election. And then I'll read an article on it and they just say this state's statesman or whatever is doing this, or got documents of so and so, but they're not actually showing me the proof. And then I'll show them proof of something that is very. But it's very concrete. Concrete. For example, did you hear about Donald Trump calling into C SPAN and pretending to be John Barron last week?

[Brian]

No, I didn't see that.

[Austin]

So apparently a caller called into C SPAN and pretended to be John Barron that said the economy's great and the Senate was a bad. Or the Supreme Court made a bad decision and that story got ran with. And liberals all over the country think that Donald Trump called into C span, faked to be John Barron, and claimed that the Supreme Court decision was horrible.

[Brian]

Wow.

[Austin]

Two days later, C SPAN says on their own Twitter account or X account says, guys, since this kind of blew up, we're going to correct the record. That was a Virginia phone number, not from the White House. And Donald Trump at the same time was actually doing a White House briefing. Concrete evidence that C SPAN put Out. You show that to a liberal and they go, that's not true. That's not true. C SPAN is corrupted. He's taking it over. It's state run media.

[Brian]

What?

[Austin]

C span, State run media. Guys, give me a break.

[Brian]

Wow.

[Austin]

Insane.

[Brian]

That's whack.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Liberals also say Trump's becoming a dictator.

[Austin]

Yeah. In that interest.

[Brian]

I don't understand that.

[Austin]

Take no. Because why would you be able to say things online? Why would Jubilee exist?

[Brian]

Yeah. He could just shut it down.

[Austin]

He could shut it down if he was a dictator, Right?

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Why would you be able to protest ICE officials? In fact, I think Trump should be more of a dictator. That's like the wrong word to say because he's not a dictator. He should have followed the law when it came into Minnesota and arrested all those protesters that were in, that were impeding federal enforcements. That still wouldn't have been a dictator to me. But they would have called him a dictator. I do think he kind of sides and kind of loosens up a little bit for that fear of being a dictator. Right?

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

But you have liberals using words like fascism. They can't tell you where that word can come.

[Brian]

I love those clips.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Trump's a fascist. Explain what that means, dude.

[Austin]

Insane.

[Brian]

Yeah. It's like brain rot.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Like these. Especially on college campuses.

[Austin]

Oh, did you see the video that went out? I think Daily Wire did it. They went around a college campus asking people about the SOTU address. I keep saying that. State of the Union address. And it was the day before the State of the Union had. Had happened. And liberals were like, oh, it was horrible. Negative numbers that had no idea.

[Brian]

That's funny.

[Austin]

One person goes, isn't it tomorrow? And you know, you could pick and choose your media clips, but the one, the only one person in the video caught it.

[Brian]

That is nuts.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

That is not. Not surprising. No.

[Austin]

Brain rot.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Crazy.

[Brian]

That's how Charlie Cook built. His whole business was going to college campuses and just debating kids.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

And they were so dumb that it built his whole company. Basically shot him for it.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Yeah.

[Brian]

They killed him for it.

[Austin]

That's crazy. But where the fascist? Where the dictators?

[Brian]

Yeah. Whereas they were the more violent ones. Because we're pro gun.

[Austin]

Yeah. As in a while that we've had more trans shooters this year than ICE killing protesters or people.

[Brian]

So there's a link with school shooting and trans. Right?

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

A good amount of them are trans or they're on like mental health drugs.

[Austin]

At least for the last four or five years. I think there is A link that every single one of the shooters has been on ssri.

[Brian]

Yeah. Almost all of them. Yeah.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Which is crazy.

[Austin]

That is crazy. And it makes you think, like, what are we doing to actually solve the problem? We're putting all these kids on drugs like Ritalin and ssris to solve their depression instead of saying, get off the tv, go outside, waste your energy, come back in and learn when you're tired or after you expose. After you expend your energy.

[Brian]

Yeah. I do think we have a huge mental health crisis in this country.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Like, it's not even worth talking to some people.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

They're just so brainwashed.

[Austin]

Gone. You know, Yuri Bezmanoff said it best. Right. He goes, you know, you could show somebody concrete evidence, and they still won't believe it.

[Brian]

That's what happened with some of these ice shootings. Yep.

[Austin]

People are still fascinating that. I was in that Jubilee debate, and they're sitting there saying that they wasn't hit by a car. They eventually kind of, like, said, okay, he got hit by a car after they saw the footage or whatever from his body cam. But you guys are sitting there denying it when there's concrete evidence. Multiple, multiple angles that show he was hit. And then, you know, I don't know so much about the report that went out that he hurt his ribs or whatever. Probably dating. Yeah. Something. When you have, like, clips and stuff here, like, on a body cam, you hit that into your ribs, it could cause internal bruising and bleeding. So. But for them to sit out there flat and deny it, they're just making excuses at this point.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Makes you wonder, like, are we watching two different movies? I don't know what's happening in the world.

[Brian]

Yeah. There could be concrete evidence, and it's still not enough.

[Austin]

That's kind of what led me to get on these debates and Jubilee is just to have a little bit more of a conversation. I. I haven't done it this episode, and I should probably figure out a way to be a lot funnier while we're doing this. But it's. This is what's led me to kind of start speaking out, seeing all of the hate and the vitriol coming from one side and then being told, like, you're the violent ones.

[Brian]

Yeah. It is ironic. Who's your number one debate opponent that you want to go up against?

[Austin]

I would like to do Austin off scripts right now, because I feel like if he's claiming to be a conservative and a Christian, which, hey, we could have the Christian debate. I'm not very Good at it. We should be talking about, like, how does that actually benefit us? He's the next person I would like to actually have a conversation with and debate. But as far as, like, liberals go, whoever wants to. You know what's amazing is, like, Jubilee has built their platform off getting conservatives to come and debate liberals. The question is, could a conservative do that? Could a conservative company. Excuse me, Could a conservative company build something like Jubilee and get liberals to come on and debate? I do think it's more possible now than ever before because you have Daily Wire kind of doing that bar thing.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

But it's curious. We've been thinking about doing that in la.

[Brian]

You should.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

It's needed. Because you're right. No one's doing that.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

I will say, as someone that hosts debates a lot, it is harder to get liberals. I've heard that way harder. Harder.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

But you're right, with Michael Knowles in the bar show, I think it's a more relaxed environment. They're getting really confident now, and they're not as, like, they don't really challenge them as much, you know? Yeah. I feel like they're comfortable.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Or like an Adam Mockler or like a Harry Sisson will go on there and they don't feel like it's a gotcha moment.

[Austin]

Yeah. So that is interesting. I. I do wonder why they're showing up to that one versus others. Because I know that there's people that's trying to get Harry and Dean and all of them, though they usually say.

[Brian]

I know that because I've asked them to come on here. But I think it's a corporate, like, company kind of vibe. It's not like a edgier.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Style.

[Austin]

Okay.

[Brian]

That's why they trust Jubilee. Jubilee is very corporate.

[Austin]

Well, and Jubilee's also in their corner.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

So, you know what's crazy is I went on Jubilee, we had that giant debate, and I knew I was going to get unfair at it, but it was wild when we were talking about the reparations. Austin had gone on for, like, two minutes about reparations. And at one point, I'm just like, white people have suffered, too. We've all suffered. They cut that part out. You've all suffered. You know, shouldn't we create a system at which, like, we get rid of federal income taxes to benefit everybody?

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Didn't leave that in. So you're getting an unfair edit. But, hey, that's what got me here. Damn. So you're willing to take those risks knowing that you might actually get made Fun of. And. And that's okay. Because that doesn't matter. What matters is winning the minds of the few or winning the minds of. Of the country, really, right now to try to save this country.

[Brian]

Yeah. Do they edit it in favor of the liberals? Usually.

[Austin]

For sure. Really? For sure. The Lion Martin. Okay, dude. The Isaiah Martin. So I did that one you're having on one of my buds tomorrow. Who did the other day.

[Brian]

Mark.

[Austin]

Yeah. Def Noodles Dennis. Great debate. Isaiah Martin was a horrible debater. Everybody kind of walked off there like this guy got owned.

[Brian]

Really.

[Austin]

His media team is fascinating. And it goes to show, you do a couple of these debates and you realize how easy it is to edit things to make one person look worse or better, depending on the edit. And they made Isaiah look really sharp and intelligent. And Isaiah wasn't.

[Brian]

Wow. Yeah.

[Austin]

It was actually really sad to see. I. I thought they weren't going to show the episode. It was that bad.

[Brian]

Holy crap. So he got steamrolled.

[Austin]

Steamrolled. Wow.

[Brian]

Because that's not. I watched that episode. It did not look that way.

[Austin]

Exactly. I was shocked.

[Brian]

So did they cut out a lot of people?

[Austin]

I don't think it cut out people. They may have cut out some parts here and there. I'll give it to Jubilee. A lot of it. A lot of the editing when it comes to the full episode is a. Is more fair when it comes to the little sizzle reels.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

Those are not the highlight reels. So as far as the episode, though, the full thing. You watch the full thing, you can see it a little bit more. But they put a camera on the. The debater and then a camera on Isaiah. The one on Isaiah is far away. It shows a little bit more. A little less of his body movements. The one on me was zoomed in. Interesting. Yeah.

[Brian]

That's strategic, though.

[Austin]

Strategic.

[Brian]

They want to capture your twitches and your.

[Austin]

Exactly. And speaking of that, there was one part where Isaiah kind of gestures to the ENT audience like this. And you see my eyes just follow him. And it looked like I was insane. I was like, okay, I gotta do a new approach to these videos. Yeah, it looked. I was like the crazy eye.

[Brian]

You were logged in.

[Austin]

It's like. That's wild.

[Brian]

What did you debate him on?

[Austin]

So. And also here's Jubilee again, switching things around. So they had actually put me at the end of this second. The second topic. I was actually at the end of the first topic. And by the end of the first topic, you could see how the word I used was disingenuous. And that kind of, like, went viral because I'd used it a bunch of times while we were talking. And then what was annoying is they'd switched the second topic to the first. Everybody after me was using the word disingenuous.

[Brian]

Oh, so they met you.

[Austin]

Yeah, exactly. And so I had basically sat down in front of him, and I just thought, like, all of his interruptions and or topic kind of angles, which painted Trump in bad light. He wasn't. He would do something like this. So somebody would be like, trump did a good thing. He's like, yeah, but was it his promise he was gonna bring prices down day one? People, like, it takes time. Said day one. Okay. And that's kind of what I called him out on. So when I sat down in front of him, I was calling him out on all the BS he had kind of said before. So I kind of said, you were silent, dude. When inflation was at 9%, gas prices were at $10, they locked down the entire country. Like, where were you? Now you're. Trump gets in office, and. And you're starting to speak. So that was kind of my angle, and I went a little hard on him versus, like, other ones I've done. But I need to take a different approach. I think.

[Brian]

You don't like the combative approach.

[Austin]

I don't like the combat. I want to make people laugh.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

So I. I want to be chill. Yeah.

[Brian]

You know, I feel like that might be more effective than the combative approach.

[Austin]

I do think so. But I think the combative approach gets views.

[Brian]

It does. You got to sprinkle it in.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

You need those one liners. But I think the lackadaisical approach of making them laugh opens them up.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Might actually influence them a little more.

[Austin]

And honestly, doing more of this is how you get better at it.

[Brian]

Yeah. So for sure.

[Austin]

Thanks for.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Absolutely.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

No, this was great.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

I did want to get your opinion, because Candace is dropping a documentary on Erica Kirk, I think, this week.

[Austin]

Oh, interesting.

[Brian]

Did you see that?

[Austin]

No.

[Brian]

It's going to be a hit piece. What did you think of that whole drama with him?

[Austin]

Candace has gone insane.

[Brian]

You think so?

[Austin]

Yeah. You know, it's whole, like, oh, we shared a text message. I was talking to him about, like, what. What shirt he should wear. Like, it sounds like Candace was in love and then was angry when Charlie didn't reciprocate and then was bitter of Erica and his love. That's what it sounds like to me. And there's some things that she has said that were provable. Lies. For example, there was one, I think, during the Thanksgiving where she's like, France is coming for me. And then she's like, we're not going to be on for the remainder of the week. Well, it was Thanksgiving. Most people weren't on the remainder of the week.

[Brian]

Oh, yeah, the hitman, right?

[Austin]

Yeah. And then they saw her at Dolly Parton amusement park.

[Brian]

Wow.

[Austin]

Okay, so you're just a liar at this point. You're scared of her life. I. I did one jubilee interview and I'm walking on eggshells all around la. I'm not even wearing this jacket around LA anymore. But somebody's gonna be like, are you? You know, it's. So I've gotten death threats off one interview from that debate. Bro. I've gotten so many deaths from that two. One, two debate or two on two debate.

[Brian]

Really?

[Austin]

Yeah. That was the big one where I started to get a lot of death threat.

[Brian]

What?

[Austin]

Because people made some of these clips go viral and people sought me out and wow. My Instagram private messages is full of. Of people wanting to kill me or calling me a loser or whatever.

[Brian]

The reparations part or what part? Exactly.

[Austin]

I think it was the reparations part because that's the part that went the most fire.

[Brian]

Yeah. That's a polarizing topic.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

For that community.

[Austin]

You say, I don't want to give my tax money to a black guy for next year. And I'm just not in this whole, like, listen, I didn't commit slavery. I thought it was abhorrent. But white people died for you guys.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

You only see the one side and that's the truth. Like the whole leftist argument is you don't see nuance in any of this. People sacrifice their lives for their freedom and it's not good enough.

[Brian]

Well, every race has been enslaved.

[Austin]

Yeah.

[Brian]

Throughout history.

[Austin]

It comes from Slavic. White people were enslaved by. I think it was the Ottoman Empire or the.

[Brian]

Something like that. But black people are the most recent, so that's why they always bring that one up. Yeah.

[Austin]

They forget that black people sold them into slavery.

[Brian]

Yeah.

[Austin]

How ironic.

[Brian]

Crazy.

[Austin]

Crazy, man.

[Brian]

Well, dude, this was fun. Anything else? What are you working on next? I guess. Where could people find you?

[Austin]

I do a lot of stand up, so actually Def Noodles has a great comedy club. We're getting stand up shows going back there. So you can follow me at Underscore White Privilege. I sell fragrances to try to push back on the whole narrative because there's a couple things about culture you can get on here and talk all day And I kind of have something against, like, everybody wanting to start a podcast. There's millions of people out there that want their face on a podcast. I want to create culture through products, and I think giving everybody white privilege is kind of a beautiful thing.

[Brian]

I love it.

[Austin]

We also have male privilege and reparations. Oh, I didn't.

[Brian]

I didn't have a. Reparations.

[Austin]

Reparations.

[Brian]

You made that after the episode.

[Austin]

No, no, I had it before.

[Brian]

Oh, I really.

[Austin]

You see me actually, in the edit, I pat my pockets and go, damn it, you forgot it. Because I didn't have a small sample bottle of reparations, bro.

[Brian]

You pulled that out.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

That would have been viral.

[Austin]

They would have cut it out. They would have cut that out so quick.

[Brian]

1.

[Austin]

Promoting your own product. But that would have been so epic. You want your reparations. Hey, Austin, there's your reparations. That would have been funny, dude. I was so upset because I'd given Austin white privilege and before. Before the. The debate, but if I had had that.

[Brian]

That's funny, dude.

[Austin]

Epic. And it actually smells the best, I think.

[Brian]

Really?

[Austin]

Yeah, sure. We're gonna come out with a couple. It's the colonizer us. I want you to colonize every room you walk into. So. Yeah, so I think, you know, when it comes to the cultural movement, we can talk all day, but we need cultural products. We need products made here in the US And. Yeah, and. And get. Get back on. Get back on top.

[Brian]

Cool. Check them out, guys. And next time you see them, hopefully it's with Austin and we're debating. I love that.

[Austin]

That.

[Brian]

Cool. Check them out, guys. Peace.
