Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Trump, Unlike twenty sixteen, where he had like aguy in
the whole country, running the whole campaign and barely paid
attention to any of it. He has an enormous, really
well put together, among the best that's ever been built,
ground game going on right now in Iowa. He's got
the top people, and he's like Obama level good in
terms of a structure that he has managed. Funny how

(00:25):
little coverage that gets. Yeah, and also he understands, I
think better than Joe Biden's camp certainly does the time,
just the nature of modern media and the real world
and all that sort of stuff. So the official you
ran this by the Federal Election Commission ads thing is over.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
It just is.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
There's still room for those ads and lots of money
still being spent on him. But if you can get
a hot ad bumping around TikTok and YouTube and everywhere
else that was made by some guy in his basement
that you had nothing to do with, well, then you
know you benefit as much, if not more than the
official ads. And I'm surprised everybody doesn't understand that already.
Here's one of those put together by I don't know who,

(01:10):
but it is really slick. The visuals on it are
absolutely fantastic, like top level. You spent millions of dollars visuals,
And it's an interesting theme that they went with. If
you're not old enough to remember or weren't into radio
back in the day, legendary radio guy Paul Harvey who
used to do these kind of homespun stories, and he
had tremendous gravitas and credibility.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Is that a fair way to say it?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Agree? Yeah, Paul Harvey News was a national institution for
a couple of decades. This isn't actually Paul Harvey's voice.
He's been dead for quite some time. It's an AI version,
but it sounds like anyway, here is it?

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
And on June fourteenth, nineteen forty six, God looked down
on his planned paradise and said, I.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Need a caretaker. So God gave us Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn,
fix this country all day, fight the Marxists, eat supper,
then go to the Oval Office and stay past midnight
at a meeting of the heads of state. So God
made Trump. I need somebody with arms strong enough to
rustle the deep State. And yet gentle enough to deliver

(02:15):
his own grandchild. Somebody to ruffle the feathers, tame cantankerous
World Economic Forum, come home hungry, have to wait until
the first lady is done with lunch with friends.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Then tell the ladies to be sure and come back
real soon and meet it. So God gave us Trump.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I need somebody who can shape an axe but wield
a sword, who had the courage to step foot in
North Korea, who can make money from the tar of
the sand, turn liquid to gold, who understands the difference
between tariffs and inflation, will finish his forty hour week
by Tuesday noon, but then put in another seventy two hours.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
So God made Trump.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay to God for like another minute. Clearly, that last
shot and the one at the beginning about getting up
early and standing up late, is directly a shot at
Joe Biden's you know, ten to three schedule that he
currently is working as an old man. Right, But that ad,
from what I understand and read, has got quite a
bit of traction flying around, and it will have more

(03:18):
impact than any.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Paid for official ad.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, like a lot of things Trump, I watched the
whole thing, and it gilds the lily, as the old
saying goes. I mean, it points out a lot of
absolutely valid points about the good things he's accomplished in
the energy policy and the border policies and the rest
of it, but then it portrays him as a devout
man of faith, and it's like, oh, come on, come on,
among other cult of personality, way over the top foolishness.

(03:47):
But you know, it's like Trump's plan's apartment. There's a
lot of gold plating. My point. It really is just
if you like a candidate or a cause of any kind,
you're creative, you have every much, every bit as much
ability to get an ad out there that is effective

(04:09):
as if you worked your way up through some advertising
corporation and got hired. The only thing I'm going to
say is that when you said you have every much,
it reminded me very much of Al Sharpton. You have
every much and much to be every commercial produced by

(04:29):
locking up my Toothpete.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Anyway, Yeah, it's absolutely true.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
And it's funny. You've made a couple of references to
you have millions of dollars to spend, and I've done
commercial production, and you know that's a super high budget commercial,
but it could easily cost you tens of thousands. Now
it costs a dude with decent skills this afternoon. That's
what it costs to produce something that skilled and impressive.
And again the visuals are quite good. Yeah, but you know,

(04:54):
I think your point is excellent. The whole you know,
paid for by you know, Trump for president of this
message is hilarious point. And getting into conversations with whether
or not the super pack was coordinating with the candidate
on the matter, well, who cares if some guy is
sitting in his basement, the who has a laptop can
make a fantastic gad And what the how differences to

(05:16):
make at this point?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Right, Yeah, that stuff is all over Armstrong and Getty
