Speaker 1 (00:00):
Every single political figure on the right. If it was
Biden saying all this would be like, they would never
shut up about it, and rightfully so, because again, if
you can't draw the line at children, you don't have
a line.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Blair, thanks so much for coming back on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Thanks for having me. It's always a good time.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, no heated debate like a last time today. But
a couple of things I did want to chat with
you about because you've been making waves as always in
the internet political sphere, partly with some of your commentary
on the Trump presidency so far, on some of the
issues that you are attuned to and passionate about because
you were outspoken in support of Trump in the election.
(00:47):
But how do you feel that the first several months
have gone down? Are you disappointed at all? But the
way that things have played out, it's been.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
A mixed bag for me, and I know people a
lot of times do not like nuance, especially with someone
as polarizing as Trump. But there are some things that objectively, well,
I guess subjectively I'm very happy with so specifically around
the border, and there's a lot of back and forth
about the tactics as far as like deporting people and
(01:16):
ice and all that, but the border itself, which has
been such a huge problem, especially you know, I'm someone
who's lived in a border state my whole life, California
and then Texas, and I've always seen how much the
border affects the quality of life for Americans and how
much of an issue it is. So the fact that
he's really neutralized the crossings on the border has been amazing,
(01:38):
and that is one of the main reasons I've voted
for him, and that is, you know, if you look
at the polling, one of the first priorities for Americans
who voted for him, and even some who didn't. So
that's been amazing. There's been other more superficial stuff. I'm
glad that he has restored some sanity to the trans topic.
And it's not that everything's been a net negative, trying
(02:00):
to you know, butter things up before I go a
little bit, you know, in right now, but there have
also been some massive disappointments. So obviously, I'm someone who
for my entire career has been spoken out, has been
speaking out on the issue of human trafficking, the protection
of children, whatever context that may be, whether it was
(02:23):
you know, the wave of drag Queen for kids' story
hours and LGBT books in school that were really obviously
just you know, peedo propaganda that were shoved into schools
for kids to see, or the Epstein stuff and elite
you know, sex trafficking has been something that's been a
through line for all of Trump's political career. This whole
(02:44):
notion of the elites getting away with not just things
that the average person couldn't but things that were so
egregious and so ugly and so many crimes against humanity
that it couldn't stand. The Epstein stuff was a huge
disappointment from the Trump ad in Pam Bondi's been a joke,
Dan Bongino, Bonginiino, right, Cash Fattel and you know, back
(03:10):
in February was really the first kind of like sign
for me that like, this is not going to be
anywhere close to a perfect presidency and term because there
was propaganda obviously they were released back in February when
it came to the Epstein files, having all the influencers
come out and run cover for the fact that they
didn't want to disclose it, and.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Then the time right so for folks that don't know
the Attorney General Pam BONDI invited a bunch of influencers,
like the libs of TikTok, women Higherry Chick and other
people and gave them binders labeled Ebstein files that they
like did a photo op with. But then it turned
out that basically no information, no new information was actually
(03:54):
in those. It was just kind of like a social
media thing. I remember you blasting them at the time
over that.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, yeah, I mean there was so much that was
discussing about it. First of all, you know, I feel
like the Epstein files and Epstein has almost become this
like meme, and it's like, there are real victims, There
are real children and women because also the adult women
that have been victimized matter to and you know, they're
having to live with this desperation for justice. And I've
(04:21):
spoken to some of them, I've interviewed one of them
recently on my channel. And to have libs of TikTok,
you know, it's just so beneath the dignity of what
that moment would deserve if they were really putting out
anything to do with a human trafficking network. To have
libs of TikTok and whoever else smiling like they just
won the big check on Ellen and it's a binder
full of sexual abuse, including minors. It's that was the
(04:43):
first sign that I was like, Okay, not only does
this administration not take this seriously, they're actively running a
propaganda campaign because, like you said, none of the information
was new. So fast forward to the summer when Trump
starts talking about it and not only giving you know,
literal negative words to his supporters who wanted it and
(05:03):
telling them he doesn't want their supporter anymore, also being
so disrespectful to the victims by saying this is a joke,
f you, this is a Democrat, you know, conspiracy or whatever.
It's kind of like, that's really ugly. And so that
to me, no matter what Trump does that's positive. In
(05:25):
the future, it'll always unfortunately because again three times voting,
it will come with the caveat of Trump did this
good thing, but he covered up for Epstein. And it's
really scary because I think that a lot of people
really simplify why he would react that way and why
(05:45):
the government as a whole is still choosing to keep
these things a secret despite all these people, you know,
campaigning on releasing it. It wasn't just Trump saying that
when he got in there he was going to release
it. It was Cash Hotel, it was Dan Bongino, it was
Tulca Gabbert, it was all of these people, right, So,
I mean, I don't even know where to really start.
We can start with the reasons why it would be
(06:08):
kept secret. I think that it's very simple and an
easy explanation for, especially on the liberal side, to say, oh,
it's because he's in it, and he was with children,
and he was you know, a sexual.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Would have released that if that was true.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, I think possibly, but also possibly not because it
clearly implicates people like Bill Clinton and you know, obviously
other Democrat politicians. So I think what we're actually up
against here is something that is very unifying, and that's
the real reason it won't come out is that if
it were to come out, I think we would have
Democrat and Republican presidents, politicians, and celebrities at every level
(06:48):
going down. And at that point, if we have Republican
and Democrat presidents both on this list, we might as
well just start over from scratch, because this entire thing
is broken and clearly we're fighting the wrong end. To me,
by going out each other all the time. So there
has been actually a silver lining to this whole debacle
where I am finding you know, unity with people on
(07:09):
the other side, and they are with Republicans who are like,
what is going on here? Because thankfully there is still
a large portion of the population that there is a
line drawn when it comes to children, and if you're
not willing to draw the line there, you don't have
a line now.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
So I don't think it's so im curious because there's
been a pretty interesting and robust debate inside conservative media
and on right of center circles, like how much does
the base care about the Epstein issue? Because some people
close to Trump seem to think that it's something not
a lot of people care about. But you've spoken about
(07:45):
it for years, your interview got tons of views, You've
gotten feedback from your audience. Is this an issue people
genuinely care about or will they just forget about it
and move on? Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
One hundred percent. The only people that really don't care
are boomers. And so Trump is turning on you know,
CNN and Fox News to temperature check the country. And
of course, first of all, they all have you know, elites,
their running cover for US. So CNN doesn't want Bill
Clinton to go down. Fox News doesn't want Trump to
go down. So boomers don't really care. And unfortunately, you know,
(08:18):
there's a lot of psychological reasons for that. I think
boomers grew up in a time where, unfortunately, pedophilia was
simply more normal, and a lot of people don't really
know that that, like people waking up to the reality
of you know, sexual abusers is almost like a two
thousands and beyond sort of like awakening with the Internet
(08:39):
and catching people and things like to catch a predator.
But when our grandparents were growing up, it was actually
more normal. You know, a lot of our we noticed
our grandparents seemed to be to die way sooner before
our grandmothers because they met when our grandma was like
thirteen and they were thirty five. You know, they're not
to so not.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
To throw her under the bus. But my mom used
to tell us this story about how when she was
in high school, this college boy came around and tried
to get with her, and she told it like ha ha,
and then I wasn't And I'm like, no, Mom, you
were Greuel.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yes, there was a whole last year I think maybe
two years ago, there was a whole viral TikTok trend.
It was called like Grandma, You're a victim or something.
It was all these people being like, so, my grandma
just nonchalantly told me that she was twelve and got
sold to my grandpa when he was forty years old.
I'm like, and it's my grandma. This is not a
lovey w story. But so it shows there's a cultural
(09:35):
an age divide on this issue. And also Boomers grew
up in a time where you simply did not question
the narrative. You simply did not question the elites, or
at least at the very minimum, you didn't question your
own side. And when both sides are running from this,
people of a certain age have no incentive to care. Also,
does it have tangible effects for people that they can
(09:57):
see when they open their wallet or they're filling up
their gas tank.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But I think sometimes you know, and I understand that
people are going to say, well, you're coming at this
from a place of you know, relative financial security, which
I'm blessed to have and I've worked hard for. But
at the same time, you know, I don't think this
idea that poor people only care about, you know, money
and basic survival skills like their animals or something is true.
(10:23):
I think poor people care about the big issues. I
think people have, you know, an existential understanding that the
world is run by extremely evil people, evil in ways
that go beyond comprehension at times, and I think people
want to see justice for that. I think that the
fact that the internet is so populated by people who
(10:44):
care from both sides, it's a way better indicative where
the country is. Maybe not where the boomers are at,
but where the country and certainly the next generation that's
going to be going into power is.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Now, I think you get.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
A really interesting point about Trump. Trump watches TV, so
he flew on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, and that's
how he gets the temperature. He really and even though
the audiences on those pale in comparison to some of
the online shows and the digital media that that's happening.
And so I do think he doesn't quite understand what
(11:18):
people are thinking or saying in totality because he does
kind of have a skewed sample. So Fox News hosts
say one thing, but if you were to go to
the comments section on Tucker Carlson's late latest upload, which
has millions and millions of views, you would hear something
very different, but he has a unique focus on it.
I wonder, though, what do you see or what do
(11:40):
you think when you see the Democrats picking up this issue.
I mean, it's a little cynical because now you have
every Democratic politician demanding release the list or Trump promised accountability,
and I feel like I never heard a Democrat say
anything elected official that it is until five minutes ago one.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And it goes without saying that. That is extremely slimy,
and it's you know, it is disgusting. But also I
can't really be mad at them more than I can
be mad at Trump and the current administration for doing it.
You know, of course they're going to pick up on
it if it was vice versa. Every single political figure
(12:20):
on the right, if it was Biden saying all this
would be like, they would never shut up about it,
and rightfully so, because again, if you can't draw the
line at children, you don't have a line now. I
wanted to get into this earlier, but we got a
little bit on a tangent about the boomer thing. But
I don't think it's as simple as the Democrats will
(12:41):
want to make it seem that it just means that
he was on the list and that means that he
did something with minors, and the file says that. I
think it's much more complicated. I think that that's possible
because unfortunately, with the absence of the files out, we
can only speculate. So I'm not writing it off, but
I think people need to understand its way bigger than that.
I think that not only does he have donors on
(13:02):
the list, he has there are people that were attached
to Jeffrey Epstein that probably have some really really frightening,
you know, fail safes and triggers in place, like Bill Gates.
I mean, Epstein had the top people in AI, neuroscience,
physics around him. The victims don't just talk about sexual
(13:24):
trafficking as a part of their experience. It was clearly
a clandestine and secret technology operation, which then you have
the military industrial complex involved, you have multiple countries involved.
He clearly was also CIA and Masade. So we're not
talking about how the file would just take Trump down.
I think that's a really simple way of looking at it.
(13:44):
I think the reality is that it would take down
everything and.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I'm so sorry to pause your here, but how do
we know that he was CIA and or Masad conclusively?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well, unfortunately, it's not like we have, you know, a
judge that banged a gavel and said this person was
involved in CIA. But first of all, Gallaine Maxwell's father
is basically the most famous Massad spy ever, There's been
books written about him. If you know anything about CIA
and Masad, they're generational. So the best way to keep
(14:16):
secrets for countries is to have it be generational. It's
not just that someone's dad was in the CIA, it's
that their kid is. I've known multiple people in CIA,
and usually their parents and their grandparents are. This is
a very common thing. We had Alex Acosta when he
was pursuing this with the FBI back in the day
when Epstein first got caught, was told to stand down
(14:37):
because he was property of the CIA and he had
no authority to go after this person. Further, you have
just the fact that the death was so covered up
in shady. I mean, that doesn't really happen for anybody
not involved with power. You have multiple Israeli government officials
that were around him, you have him in a shirt
recently with an IDF logo on it. It's it's a
(15:00):
million things. And just also the fact that it was
a blackmail operation, so you're not really blackmailing people that
don't matter. You're getting in politicians and presidents and that's
exactly what he did. So the writing is on the
wall with all of that, especially the fact that, like
I was saying, it is also not just you know,
(15:21):
it's not just secrets about human trafficking the government's covering up.
It's technology, which is going to be the military industrial complex.
You have victims that didn't just say he sex trafficked me.
You have victims to say he was obsessed with eugenics.
You have victims to say he took their eggs. You
have victims that say they saw things like as crazy
as it sounds, I don't think it is, saw things
(15:42):
like UFOs in the area being tested, being operated. And
that can sound insane to people if there weren't other
than the victims, thousands of people throughout you know, the
last century who have claimed to see things like this.
And we know the military has technology the public is
not allowed to know about. That's part of what we
pay our military to do. We give them trillions of
(16:04):
dollars so that they can get the best weaponry and technology.
And so again it's not just a bunch of perverts
doing stuff. It's an ideal operation. Ideal locations like you know,
islands in the middle of nowhere, ranches in New Mexico
and the middle of nowhere that they are going to
be used for secret military testing. So it's a lot
(16:26):
that would fall down if everything came out. But that
is not me making an argument that I want it
to be kept secret. I think that if we live
in a society right now that is popped up on
child victims, lies and clandestine operations that we have a
right to know about, all those need to come down.
(16:46):
So it's it's depressing and it's scary, but that goes
to the heart of why Trump was elected the first
time and this last time, and why so many people
voted for him three times. You know, people think, you know,
the the Democrats will reduce why Trump has had this
strong support to oh, because the race isn't the hate
brown people. And then even like some Republicans will be like, oh,
(17:08):
because he sticks to the fake media, and it's like
it's actually much more complicated than that. Like if you
remember anything about, you know, the face off with Hillary,
it involved things like her emails, It involved Wiki leaks,
It involved this Russia collusion story that's now going on
that everyone was tapping in on way back then. It
involved trafficking rings, it involved you know, things like Pizzagate.
(17:30):
That has been such a through line, that sense of
you know, and that longing for justice, that that part
of his.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Swamp right, that was his most famous drain the swamp lines.
Now there's some debate about whether he's really done it,
and the fact that he's done a one to eighty
on releasing the Epstein files is kind of an example
of deciding to not drain the swamp. But I think,
I think you're absolutely right that this resonated with people,
this idea that he's going to take on the elites.
(17:58):
He's one of them, but he knows how they were,
and he stands for us, and he's gonna go tell
us the truth about what happened. I just I wonder,
I mean, it really is a betrayal of his promise
to go in and do this and to put Pam
Bondi in there. And she also had this massive unforced
error where she said the files were on her desk
for review, and then later claimed that there are no files. Like,
(18:19):
can't keep up with what the heck she says? She's saying.
I think this has been a huge stain on her
time as Attorney General and will be remembered as such.
But I guess to kind of round out this topic here,
what is the lasting legacy of this if they just
ignore it and don't release the files. Is this going away?
Or will this continue to be an issue that people
(18:40):
bring up just ever every so often.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Oh, it'll never go away. It'll never go away, I
think Trump. I mean, I'm sure you see it as well.
On x every day there's just a viral tweet with
one hundred thousand likes calling him a pedophile, and it's
really staggering, Like he has to know that that that
is what the world is calling him right now. So
imagine still being willing to be called that for the
(19:09):
rest of your life, as opposed to just releasing it.
That means that whatever is in there is so much
bigger than him, And and that's where that's where the
truth lies, is that it really has very little to
do with Trump. I'm sure he is in the files
in a way that doesn't make him look good, because
you have to remember, even people like Naomi Campbell, you know,
(19:31):
celebrities who are nowhere near as powerful as presidents or
Bill Gates, you know, even they have been dealing with
the stain of just being on a flight log for
which a lot of people who I'm sure did nothing
illegal were his friend and his associate. So he is
willing to be called this for the rest of his
life and by some of his supporters, a lot of
his supporters, then you really have to question what's in there,
(19:53):
because if it was me, I'd be like, I'm not
taking this, you know, slander for the rest of my life.
I'm putting it out now so that I can just
get it off my back. But when it goes to
donors and Bill Gates and presidents before him, and it's
just too much, and uh, it's not going away. I
think that even if he goes the entire rest of
(20:17):
his term and keeps the same line of thinking, which
is fu if you care about it, you bet your
ass off. Jd. Vance wants to be president next time,
he's going to be asked very upfront, what are you
doing differently about that? And I think that politicians in
the future will one hundred percent run on this. I
hope that they actually, you know, have the balls to
(20:37):
do it in a way that the ones that are
in now don't. But I don't think it's going away,
because it's not just about Jeffrey Epstein, you know what
I mean. And again his name has become such a
a meme that it's like, oh, it's the Jeffrey Epstein thing,
It's the Glene Maxwell thing. And it's like, this was
clearly a gigantic network of people, and all of those
(20:58):
people are running our institution and run you know, science
Matt Like, it's just crazy. So it's not going anywhere,
and I'm always going to care. And I think I
think there's this you know, false sort of like thing
that you know, Trump's not running for office anymore. And
I think that a lot of people are like, oh,
(21:20):
no one cares about the Trump thing. If you look
at these polls, this number, it's like, why does it
even matter if it's a you know issue people care about.
He he has no problem going and changing the name
of you know, the Golf of Mexico to Golf of America,
doing stuff with Alaska and Canadall. He has no problem
(21:40):
doing things that no one really cares about, and suddenly
it becomes the most important thing in the world. So
why is this or is it that it is the
most important thing in the world. But in a way
that you just can't you know, I also think, you know,
I personally have been you know, sort of on this
lately where it's like, I'm I'm kind of getting past
(22:01):
the illusion that the president is the most powerful person
in the country and certainly the world. You know, we're
seeing his limitations in real time. He did an interview
last week where the interviewer was like, hey, so about
those drones that were over both coasts for two months
that you promised to tell us about, Like what was
up with that? And he started to say, oh, it's
(22:22):
not up to me, and he cut himself off halfway.
People should go watch it, and he's like, I can't
tell you, but you know I would if I could,
but I can't tell you. And he started to say
the words it's not up to me, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That's it. So, because technically he has the authority to
declassify anything he wants as president, anything he feels like
he can't.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Right, or it's really isn't up to him. I mean,
we're told that the presidents have the power to do that.
Maybe they don't in some circumstances. And again there's a
lot of through lines. Okay, so there was clearly some
sort of secret technology being utilized over our skies for months.
(23:04):
I think Americans have a one hundred percent, one thousand
percent right to know about that, if that's a threat,
if there are is, if there's someone else's. They were
shutting down military bases like people. I don't know what
people think about those drones, and I don't know what
to think, but I know they were shutting down military bases.
So it was clearly something serious. And if Trump doesn't
(23:25):
have the power to talk about that, it's interesting that
he potentially does. Also doesn't have the power to openly
disclose the Epstein stuff. And multiple victims saw secret technology
when they were on the island and at the ranch
as well, So there's these through lines of like, Okay,
there seems to be certain things even the president can't
touch when it comes to secret technology, human trafficking rings.
(23:47):
So it's disappointing and I don't know the answer necessarily
I'm wondering where all the hackers are. I saw some
posts the other day it was like, where are all
the hackers? Suddenly you know, where's four chant? Like somebody,
let me not say anything, but I just think, you know,
Wiki leaks came out. Why can't we have an Epstein
leak or something. Maybe we will hopefully we will.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, I mean maybe a rogue Democrat will leak it
now inside inside the government, now that that's something they
claim to stand for. So well, one more.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Thing on that really quick. You mentioned the Democrats, like,
it is funny how no matter who we debate is
on the list or not, the one person everybody knows
from both sides, every person knows is Bill Clinton. Even Trump.
There's a somewhat of a back and forth. Bill Clinton
is one hundred percent there, so that's a Democrat president.
(24:39):
So it's kind of like they wouldn't release it. I
don't think actually, because they were using Bill Clinton and
Hillary for the last election. They were putting Bill Clinton
on the view to say about Kamala. Hillary Clinton was
doing things, so they don't even care. They've known for
so long that guy is, but only discussing for what
(25:00):
he did in the White House, but also is a
pedophile who was on Epstein's Island, and he's still booked
on the View. Have you been booked on the View?
Have I looked on the View? We're too crazy, We're
too crazy. But Bill Clinton, who was on Epstein's Island
and everyone knows that, can just do a campaign for Kamala.
And again, the Democrats didn't have any red flags with that.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Interesting, Yeah, they I mean, if they didn't have double standards,
there wouldn't be any standards at all. But I think
that definitely goes for democratsy and Republicans on a whole
host of issues. I definitely want to get your thoughts
on one final thing though. You recently announced that you
will be moving back to California from Texas, and this
got a bunch of media coverage. What exactly, like actually
(25:43):
motivated you to make this move versus what did some
media outlets and people online claim that was driving you
to move back to California.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah? So I've lived in Texas now for four years
and I did it out of, you know, an evacuation
during COVID from Los Angeles. I lived right in the
middle of Hollywood and if you didn't live in La
New York, Seattle, Portland during COVID, you actually have no
idea how.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Oh I was in DC. DC was crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, if you weren't in a major city, you really
don't get it. So, you know, I've fled during the
riots and during the lockdowns which lasted. You know, maybe
if you live in a red state or a suburb,
maybe you had a year of lockdowns. If that, we
were going on two years of lockdowns in big, major cities.
So I left, and I don't regret it. I've had
(26:36):
an amazing time in Texas. I feel like it's helped
me grow so much, not only in my career but
also just as a person. But you know, California is
where I was born and raised. It is my home,
and I think it's really depressing to see what's happened
to the state. I think that it is ran not incompetently.
I think it's ran completely by villains who know exactly
(26:59):
what sort of policies and acting. I think you know
exactly what you're doing when you allow people to loot stores,
when you allow people to burn things, when you allow
people to overdose from vnsanol and give them drugs on
the street when you're driving through beautiful, historic, amazing cities
like San Francisco. I mean, you got to drive through
(27:19):
San Francisco. If you don't know what I'm talking about,
you can drive for half a mile and there will
be no empty space on certain sidewalks from just people
lying there, shooting up, fecal matter, people you don't know
where dead or alive. I saw my first dead body
in San Francisco just driving past a person dead on
the street. So you know, there's a lot of issues
(27:43):
in the entire state. Gavin Newsom is a villain and
I hate it. So I don't want to be someone
who runs for my problems. I want to go and
I want to help my home state. I want to
run for office when the time is right, and I
want to be a part of the solution. And that's
really been at the center of my whole career. Like
I started my YouTube channel because I was like, are
(28:04):
there no trans people talking about what should be really obvious,
like we shouldn't be sterilizing children, like what is going on?
So it's kind of like the same thing. Is no
one going to try to fix anything in California? Is
no one going to try to step up and be like,
we can do better than this. They are Americans sick
and dying. While all of our money is going to
(28:25):
foreign countries, foreign wars, foreign devastation across the planet. We
can't help our brothers and sisters and our children on
the streets in our home state. So I want to
be part of the solution. And I'm not obviously saying
too much about running. And it's the reason the media
picks it up. I think was you know, they're trying
(28:47):
to do this thing where they're trying to portray that
everyone regrets their vote for Trump, and even as disappointing
as some of the things in the second term so
far have been, I don't think the voting for Kamala
would have been any better. I think Kamala is equally
as loyal and subservient to Israel as Trump, which is
one of the issues I have with Trump. I think
Kamala would have obviously not been the person to release
(29:08):
the Epstein file, so everything I can kind of look
at that Trump is doing that disappointed me. It would
have been the same, if not worse, under Kamala. So
I think that that's what it was like, oh, influencers
regret following Joe Rogan to Austin, which I didn't follow
Joe Rogan. I went there on my own.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
What about So, I've seen people claim that Texas has
made it impossible to be trans, impossible to transition get
your treatments, and that's why you're leaving. Is there any
truth to that?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
I mean, I'm here. Yeah, I'm here and I'm trans.
So No, I have no issues getting my medication. It's cheap,
it's fast, I get it on time every month. I
have no legal issues. My driver's license says f I
don't really know what people are talking about. I know
there's a lot of propaganda, especially like that's one of
(29:59):
the things I've learned from moving to a red state
from California is how much propaganda people in blue states
are constantly under As it relates to Red states. You
would think it's some sort of like you would think
you're living in the eighteen hundreds in Texas and we've
still had slavery the way that people in some blue
states talk about Texas. You know, my mom, lifelong Democrat,
(30:21):
lived in California your whole life. When I said I
was moving to Texas, despite the fact that California was
burning and under riots and two years of lockdowns. She
was more scared of me moving to Texas. She was like, well,
I've heard it was I heard that there was all
this stuff going on. I'm like, look around, You're not
allowed to leave your house or go to work, You're
not allowed to be without a mask outside, and people
(30:43):
are burning things down. So it's propaganda. Obviously, there have
been certain bills in Texas that have not passed, and
one of them with no hope of passing it was
I think introduced in February that would have made sought
to make lying about your gender on a legal document
(31:04):
a felony or something like that, and it got no support,
and yet they still run with it. It didn't go through.
So there's a lot of propaganda, and it is what
it is. But I want to go home and I
want to be a part of the solution and stop
running from bad policies. I want to change them.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Would you run in a Republican party as a Republican
and do you think Republican voters in California, but more broadly,
would be okay with a trans politician. I mean, I've
definitely seen a few years ago, I would have said
yes without second guessing it. I've definitely seen an uptick
in anti transsentiment on the right, partly because they've overreached.
Transactivists have overreached so much. But would you run as
(31:45):
a Republican and do you think they would be cool
or indifferent with you being trans?
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I would run as a Republican. I am a Republican,
and I'm definitely not going to switch it up just
because I'm moving. Obviously, trans is a political weapon of
political football, and obviously a lot of people on the
right do have resentment towards even just that word. But
I've been someone that consistently, you know, have been able
(32:13):
to prove all of those stereotypes wrong. I have a
right wing audience, I have a Republican audience, and you know,
if anyone can do it. First of all, not to
shoot my own horn, but I don't really see anyone
else that can. I definitely can. And also, you know,
I think that maybe if I was running in Texas
as a Republican, the answer would be no. But I
(32:33):
think if any state would be able to do it,
any state would be able to have a Transrepublic, it
would one hundred percent be California. And I also, you know,
I have a lot of faith in Californians that it's
going to be if someone just comes forward, regardless of
who they are and what their background is, if someone
comes forward and just addresses the real issues, has an
(32:54):
actual incentive to fix them, isn't a fraud like every
other California politicans that speaks for itself. And so again,
no campaign launching now I almost feel like I'm sounding
like that already. But people just want their lives fixed.
People want to be able to walk the streets of
their cities in California. People want to be able to
(33:15):
afford things. People want to be able to live and
try to give their kids some sort of life. Young people.
You know, it's not even millennials have had their struggles.
Gen Z right now, like has no hope of owning
anything in the future, has no hope of a sustainable,
you know, economic life. And so I think when people
(33:35):
just come forward and are honest, regardless of you know
what baggage they may come with, people appreciate that. You know,
I don't think every person who voted for Trump, obviously,
both all three times you know relates to him, thinks
he's like a necessarily good person, but they felt like
he was going to address their issues and there's power
in that regardless of who you are.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Well, I will be very interested to see what moves
you make or what you do in California. Uh, and
we'll keep in touch, and thanks so much for coming on. Everybody,
check out Blair's channel and uh, hopefully we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Black Yes, thank you, see you next time.
Every single political figure on the right. If it was
Biden saying all this would be like, they would never
shut up about it, and rightfully so, because again, if
you can't draw the line at children, you don't have
a line.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Blair, thanks so much for coming back on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Thanks for having me. It's always a good time.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, no heated debate like a last time today. But
a couple of things I did want to chat with
you about because you've been making waves as always in
the internet political sphere, partly with some of your commentary
on the Trump presidency so far, on some of the
issues that you are attuned to and passionate about because
you were outspoken in support of Trump in the election.
(00:47):
But how do you feel that the first several months
have gone down? Are you disappointed at all? But the
way that things have played out, it's been.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
A mixed bag for me, and I know people a
lot of times do not like nuance, especially with someone
as polarizing as Trump. But there are some things that objectively, well,
I guess subjectively I'm very happy with so specifically around
the border, and there's a lot of back and forth
about the tactics as far as like deporting people and
(01:16):
ice and all that, but the border itself, which has
been such a huge problem, especially you know, I'm someone
who's lived in a border state my whole life, California
and then Texas, and I've always seen how much the
border affects the quality of life for Americans and how
much of an issue it is. So the fact that
he's really neutralized the crossings on the border has been amazing,
(01:38):
and that is one of the main reasons I've voted
for him, and that is, you know, if you look
at the polling, one of the first priorities for Americans
who voted for him, and even some who didn't. So
that's been amazing. There's been other more superficial stuff. I'm
glad that he has restored some sanity to the trans topic.
And it's not that everything's been a net negative, trying
(02:00):
to you know, butter things up before I go a
little bit, you know, in right now, but there have
also been some massive disappointments. So obviously, I'm someone who
for my entire career has been spoken out, has been
speaking out on the issue of human trafficking, the protection
of children, whatever context that may be, whether it was
(02:23):
you know, the wave of drag Queen for kids' story
hours and LGBT books in school that were really obviously
just you know, peedo propaganda that were shoved into schools
for kids to see, or the Epstein stuff and elite
you know, sex trafficking has been something that's been a
through line for all of Trump's political career. This whole
(02:44):
notion of the elites getting away with not just things
that the average person couldn't but things that were so
egregious and so ugly and so many crimes against humanity
that it couldn't stand. The Epstein stuff was a huge
disappointment from the Trump ad in Pam Bondi's been a joke,
Dan Bongino, Bonginiino, right, Cash Fattel and you know, back
(03:10):
in February was really the first kind of like sign
for me that like, this is not going to be
anywhere close to a perfect presidency and term because there
was propaganda obviously they were released back in February when
it came to the Epstein files, having all the influencers
come out and run cover for the fact that they
didn't want to disclose it, and.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Then the time right so for folks that don't know
the Attorney General Pam BONDI invited a bunch of influencers,
like the libs of TikTok, women Higherry Chick and other
people and gave them binders labeled Ebstein files that they
like did a photo op with. But then it turned
out that basically no information, no new information was actually
(03:54):
in those. It was just kind of like a social
media thing. I remember you blasting them at the time
over that.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, yeah, I mean there was so much that was
discussing about it. First of all, you know, I feel
like the Epstein files and Epstein has almost become this
like meme, and it's like, there are real victims, There
are real children and women because also the adult women
that have been victimized matter to and you know, they're
having to live with this desperation for justice. And I've
(04:21):
spoken to some of them, I've interviewed one of them
recently on my channel. And to have libs of TikTok,
you know, it's just so beneath the dignity of what
that moment would deserve if they were really putting out
anything to do with a human trafficking network. To have
libs of TikTok and whoever else smiling like they just
won the big check on Ellen and it's a binder
full of sexual abuse, including minors. It's that was the
(04:43):
first sign that I was like, Okay, not only does
this administration not take this seriously, they're actively running a
propaganda campaign because, like you said, none of the information
was new. So fast forward to the summer when Trump
starts talking about it and not only giving you know,
literal negative words to his supporters who wanted it and
(05:03):
telling them he doesn't want their supporter anymore, also being
so disrespectful to the victims by saying this is a joke,
f you, this is a Democrat, you know, conspiracy or whatever.
It's kind of like, that's really ugly. And so that
to me, no matter what Trump does that's positive. In
(05:25):
the future, it'll always unfortunately because again three times voting,
it will come with the caveat of Trump did this
good thing, but he covered up for Epstein. And it's
really scary because I think that a lot of people
really simplify why he would react that way and why
(05:45):
the government as a whole is still choosing to keep
these things a secret despite all these people, you know,
campaigning on releasing it. It wasn't just Trump saying that
when he got in there he was going to release
it. It was Cash Hotel, it was Dan Bongino, it was
Tulca Gabbert, it was all of these people, right, So,
I mean, I don't even know where to really start.
We can start with the reasons why it would be
(06:08):
kept secret. I think that it's very simple and an
easy explanation for, especially on the liberal side, to say, oh,
it's because he's in it, and he was with children,
and he was you know, a sexual.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Would have released that if that was true.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, I think possibly, but also possibly not because it
clearly implicates people like Bill Clinton and you know, obviously
other Democrat politicians. So I think what we're actually up
against here is something that is very unifying, and that's
the real reason it won't come out is that if
it were to come out, I think we would have
Democrat and Republican presidents, politicians, and celebrities at every level
(06:48):
going down. And at that point, if we have Republican
and Democrat presidents both on this list, we might as
well just start over from scratch, because this entire thing
is broken and clearly we're fighting the wrong end. To me,
by going out each other all the time. So there
has been actually a silver lining to this whole debacle
where I am finding you know, unity with people on
(07:09):
the other side, and they are with Republicans who are like,
what is going on here? Because thankfully there is still
a large portion of the population that there is a
line drawn when it comes to children, and if you're
not willing to draw the line there, you don't have
a line now.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
So I don't think it's so im curious because there's
been a pretty interesting and robust debate inside conservative media
and on right of center circles, like how much does
the base care about the Epstein issue? Because some people
close to Trump seem to think that it's something not
a lot of people care about. But you've spoken about
(07:45):
it for years, your interview got tons of views, You've
gotten feedback from your audience. Is this an issue people
genuinely care about or will they just forget about it
and move on? Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
One hundred percent. The only people that really don't care
are boomers. And so Trump is turning on you know,
CNN and Fox News to temperature check the country. And
of course, first of all, they all have you know, elites,
their running cover for US. So CNN doesn't want Bill
Clinton to go down. Fox News doesn't want Trump to
go down. So boomers don't really care. And unfortunately, you know,
(08:18):
there's a lot of psychological reasons for that. I think
boomers grew up in a time where, unfortunately, pedophilia was
simply more normal, and a lot of people don't really
know that that, like people waking up to the reality
of you know, sexual abusers is almost like a two
thousands and beyond sort of like awakening with the Internet
(08:39):
and catching people and things like to catch a predator.
But when our grandparents were growing up, it was actually
more normal. You know, a lot of our we noticed
our grandparents seemed to be to die way sooner before
our grandmothers because they met when our grandma was like
thirteen and they were thirty five. You know, they're not
to so not.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
To throw her under the bus. But my mom used
to tell us this story about how when she was
in high school, this college boy came around and tried
to get with her, and she told it like ha ha,
and then I wasn't And I'm like, no, Mom, you
were Greuel.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yes, there was a whole last year I think maybe
two years ago, there was a whole viral TikTok trend.
It was called like Grandma, You're a victim or something.
It was all these people being like, so, my grandma
just nonchalantly told me that she was twelve and got
sold to my grandpa when he was forty years old.
I'm like, and it's my grandma. This is not a
lovey w story. But so it shows there's a cultural
(09:35):
an age divide on this issue. And also Boomers grew
up in a time where you simply did not question
the narrative. You simply did not question the elites, or
at least at the very minimum, you didn't question your
own side. And when both sides are running from this,
people of a certain age have no incentive to care. Also,
does it have tangible effects for people that they can
(09:57):
see when they open their wallet or they're filling up
their gas tank.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But I think sometimes you know, and I understand that
people are going to say, well, you're coming at this
from a place of you know, relative financial security, which
I'm blessed to have and I've worked hard for. But
at the same time, you know, I don't think this
idea that poor people only care about, you know, money
and basic survival skills like their animals or something is true.
(10:23):
I think poor people care about the big issues. I
think people have, you know, an existential understanding that the
world is run by extremely evil people, evil in ways
that go beyond comprehension at times, and I think people
want to see justice for that. I think that the
fact that the internet is so populated by people who
(10:44):
care from both sides, it's a way better indicative where
the country is. Maybe not where the boomers are at,
but where the country and certainly the next generation that's
going to be going into power is.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Now, I think you get.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
A really interesting point about Trump. Trump watches TV, so
he flew on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, and that's
how he gets the temperature. He really and even though
the audiences on those pale in comparison to some of
the online shows and the digital media that that's happening.
And so I do think he doesn't quite understand what
(11:18):
people are thinking or saying in totality because he does
kind of have a skewed sample. So Fox News hosts
say one thing, but if you were to go to
the comments section on Tucker Carlson's late latest upload, which
has millions and millions of views, you would hear something
very different, but he has a unique focus on it.
I wonder, though, what do you see or what do
(11:40):
you think when you see the Democrats picking up this issue.
I mean, it's a little cynical because now you have
every Democratic politician demanding release the list or Trump promised accountability,
and I feel like I never heard a Democrat say
anything elected official that it is until five minutes ago one.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And it goes without saying that. That is extremely slimy,
and it's you know, it is disgusting. But also I
can't really be mad at them more than I can
be mad at Trump and the current administration for doing it.
You know, of course they're going to pick up on
it if it was vice versa. Every single political figure
(12:20):
on the right, if it was Biden saying all this
would be like, they would never shut up about it,
and rightfully so, because again, if you can't draw the
line at children, you don't have a line now. I
wanted to get into this earlier, but we got a
little bit on a tangent about the boomer thing. But
I don't think it's as simple as the Democrats will
(12:41):
want to make it seem that it just means that
he was on the list and that means that he
did something with minors, and the file says that. I
think it's much more complicated. I think that that's possible
because unfortunately, with the absence of the files out, we
can only speculate. So I'm not writing it off, but
I think people need to understand its way bigger than that.
I think that not only does he have donors on
(13:02):
the list, he has there are people that were attached
to Jeffrey Epstein that probably have some really really frightening,
you know, fail safes and triggers in place, like Bill Gates.
I mean, Epstein had the top people in AI, neuroscience,
physics around him. The victims don't just talk about sexual
(13:24):
trafficking as a part of their experience. It was clearly
a clandestine and secret technology operation, which then you have
the military industrial complex involved, you have multiple countries involved.
He clearly was also CIA and Masade. So we're not
talking about how the file would just take Trump down.
I think that's a really simple way of looking at it.
(13:44):
I think the reality is that it would take down
everything and.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I'm so sorry to pause your here, but how do
we know that he was CIA and or Masad conclusively?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well, unfortunately, it's not like we have, you know, a
judge that banged a gavel and said this person was
involved in CIA. But first of all, Gallaine Maxwell's father
is basically the most famous Massad spy ever, There's been
books written about him. If you know anything about CIA
and Masad, they're generational. So the best way to keep
(14:16):
secrets for countries is to have it be generational. It's
not just that someone's dad was in the CIA, it's
that their kid is. I've known multiple people in CIA,
and usually their parents and their grandparents are. This is
a very common thing. We had Alex Acosta when he
was pursuing this with the FBI back in the day
when Epstein first got caught, was told to stand down
(14:37):
because he was property of the CIA and he had
no authority to go after this person. Further, you have
just the fact that the death was so covered up
in shady. I mean, that doesn't really happen for anybody
not involved with power. You have multiple Israeli government officials
that were around him, you have him in a shirt
recently with an IDF logo on it. It's it's a
(15:00):
million things. And just also the fact that it was
a blackmail operation, so you're not really blackmailing people that
don't matter. You're getting in politicians and presidents and that's
exactly what he did. So the writing is on the
wall with all of that, especially the fact that, like
I was saying, it is also not just you know,
(15:21):
it's not just secrets about human trafficking the government's covering up.
It's technology, which is going to be the military industrial complex.
You have victims that didn't just say he sex trafficked me.
You have victims to say he was obsessed with eugenics.
You have victims to say he took their eggs. You
have victims that say they saw things like as crazy
as it sounds, I don't think it is, saw things
(15:42):
like UFOs in the area being tested, being operated. And
that can sound insane to people if there weren't other
than the victims, thousands of people throughout you know, the
last century who have claimed to see things like this.
And we know the military has technology the public is
not allowed to know about. That's part of what we
pay our military to do. We give them trillions of
(16:04):
dollars so that they can get the best weaponry and technology.
And so again it's not just a bunch of perverts
doing stuff. It's an ideal operation. Ideal locations like you know,
islands in the middle of nowhere, ranches in New Mexico
and the middle of nowhere that they are going to
be used for secret military testing. So it's a lot
(16:26):
that would fall down if everything came out. But that
is not me making an argument that I want it
to be kept secret. I think that if we live
in a society right now that is popped up on
child victims, lies and clandestine operations that we have a
right to know about, all those need to come down.
(16:46):
So it's it's depressing and it's scary, but that goes
to the heart of why Trump was elected the first
time and this last time, and why so many people
voted for him three times. You know, people think, you know,
the the Democrats will reduce why Trump has had this
strong support to oh, because the race isn't the hate
brown people. And then even like some Republicans will be like, oh,
(17:08):
because he sticks to the fake media, and it's like
it's actually much more complicated than that. Like if you
remember anything about, you know, the face off with Hillary,
it involved things like her emails, It involved Wiki leaks,
It involved this Russia collusion story that's now going on
that everyone was tapping in on way back then. It
involved trafficking rings, it involved you know, things like Pizzagate.
(17:30):
That has been such a through line, that sense of
you know, and that longing for justice, that that part
of his.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Swamp right, that was his most famous drain the swamp lines.
Now there's some debate about whether he's really done it,
and the fact that he's done a one to eighty
on releasing the Epstein files is kind of an example
of deciding to not drain the swamp. But I think,
I think you're absolutely right that this resonated with people,
this idea that he's going to take on the elites.
(17:58):
He's one of them, but he knows how they were,
and he stands for us, and he's gonna go tell
us the truth about what happened. I just I wonder,
I mean, it really is a betrayal of his promise
to go in and do this and to put Pam
Bondi in there. And she also had this massive unforced
error where she said the files were on her desk
for review, and then later claimed that there are no files. Like,
(18:19):
can't keep up with what the heck she says? She's saying.
I think this has been a huge stain on her
time as Attorney General and will be remembered as such.
But I guess to kind of round out this topic here,
what is the lasting legacy of this if they just
ignore it and don't release the files. Is this going away?
Or will this continue to be an issue that people
(18:40):
bring up just ever every so often.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Oh, it'll never go away. It'll never go away, I
think Trump. I mean, I'm sure you see it as well.
On x every day there's just a viral tweet with
one hundred thousand likes calling him a pedophile, and it's
really staggering, Like he has to know that that that
is what the world is calling him right now. So
imagine still being willing to be called that for the
(19:09):
rest of your life, as opposed to just releasing it.
That means that whatever is in there is so much
bigger than him, And and that's where that's where the
truth lies, is that it really has very little to
do with Trump. I'm sure he is in the files
in a way that doesn't make him look good, because
you have to remember, even people like Naomi Campbell, you know,
(19:31):
celebrities who are nowhere near as powerful as presidents or
Bill Gates, you know, even they have been dealing with
the stain of just being on a flight log for
which a lot of people who I'm sure did nothing
illegal were his friend and his associate. So he is
willing to be called this for the rest of his
life and by some of his supporters, a lot of
his supporters, then you really have to question what's in there,
(19:53):
because if it was me, I'd be like, I'm not
taking this, you know, slander for the rest of my life.
I'm putting it out now so that I can just
get it off my back. But when it goes to
donors and Bill Gates and presidents before him, and it's
just too much, and uh, it's not going away. I
think that even if he goes the entire rest of
(20:17):
his term and keeps the same line of thinking, which
is fu if you care about it, you bet your
ass off. Jd. Vance wants to be president next time,
he's going to be asked very upfront, what are you
doing differently about that? And I think that politicians in
the future will one hundred percent run on this. I
hope that they actually, you know, have the balls to
(20:37):
do it in a way that the ones that are
in now don't. But I don't think it's going away,
because it's not just about Jeffrey Epstein, you know what
I mean. And again his name has become such a
a meme that it's like, oh, it's the Jeffrey Epstein thing,
It's the Glene Maxwell thing. And it's like, this was
clearly a gigantic network of people, and all of those
(20:58):
people are running our institution and run you know, science
Matt Like, it's just crazy. So it's not going anywhere,
and I'm always going to care. And I think I
think there's this you know, false sort of like thing
that you know, Trump's not running for office anymore. And
I think that a lot of people are like, oh,
(21:20):
no one cares about the Trump thing. If you look
at these polls, this number, it's like, why does it
even matter if it's a you know issue people care about.
He he has no problem going and changing the name
of you know, the Golf of Mexico to Golf of America,
doing stuff with Alaska and Canadall. He has no problem
(21:40):
doing things that no one really cares about, and suddenly
it becomes the most important thing in the world. So
why is this or is it that it is the
most important thing in the world. But in a way
that you just can't you know, I also think, you know,
I personally have been you know, sort of on this
lately where it's like, I'm I'm kind of getting past
(22:01):
the illusion that the president is the most powerful person
in the country and certainly the world. You know, we're
seeing his limitations in real time. He did an interview
last week where the interviewer was like, hey, so about
those drones that were over both coasts for two months
that you promised to tell us about, Like what was
up with that? And he started to say, oh, it's
(22:22):
not up to me, and he cut himself off halfway.
People should go watch it, and he's like, I can't
tell you, but you know I would if I could,
but I can't tell you. And he started to say
the words it's not up to me, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That's it. So, because technically he has the authority to
declassify anything he wants as president, anything he feels like
he can't.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Right, or it's really isn't up to him. I mean,
we're told that the presidents have the power to do that.
Maybe they don't in some circumstances. And again there's a
lot of through lines. Okay, so there was clearly some
sort of secret technology being utilized over our skies for months.
(23:04):
I think Americans have a one hundred percent, one thousand
percent right to know about that, if that's a threat,
if there are is, if there's someone else's. They were
shutting down military bases like people. I don't know what
people think about those drones, and I don't know what
to think, but I know they were shutting down military bases.
So it was clearly something serious. And if Trump doesn't
(23:25):
have the power to talk about that, it's interesting that
he potentially does. Also doesn't have the power to openly
disclose the Epstein stuff. And multiple victims saw secret technology
when they were on the island and at the ranch
as well, So there's these through lines of like, Okay,
there seems to be certain things even the president can't
touch when it comes to secret technology, human trafficking rings.
(23:47):
So it's disappointing and I don't know the answer necessarily
I'm wondering where all the hackers are. I saw some
posts the other day it was like, where are all
the hackers? Suddenly you know, where's four chant? Like somebody,
let me not say anything, but I just think, you know,
Wiki leaks came out. Why can't we have an Epstein
leak or something. Maybe we will hopefully we will.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, I mean maybe a rogue Democrat will leak it
now inside inside the government, now that that's something they
claim to stand for. So well, one more.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Thing on that really quick. You mentioned the Democrats, like,
it is funny how no matter who we debate is
on the list or not, the one person everybody knows
from both sides, every person knows is Bill Clinton. Even Trump.
There's a somewhat of a back and forth. Bill Clinton
is one hundred percent there, so that's a Democrat president.
(24:39):
So it's kind of like they wouldn't release it. I
don't think actually, because they were using Bill Clinton and
Hillary for the last election. They were putting Bill Clinton
on the view to say about Kamala. Hillary Clinton was
doing things, so they don't even care. They've known for
so long that guy is, but only discussing for what
(25:00):
he did in the White House, but also is a
pedophile who was on Epstein's Island, and he's still booked
on the View. Have you been booked on the View?
Have I looked on the View? We're too crazy, We're
too crazy. But Bill Clinton, who was on Epstein's Island
and everyone knows that, can just do a campaign for Kamala.
And again, the Democrats didn't have any red flags with that.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Interesting, Yeah, they I mean, if they didn't have double standards,
there wouldn't be any standards at all. But I think
that definitely goes for democratsy and Republicans on a whole
host of issues. I definitely want to get your thoughts
on one final thing though. You recently announced that you
will be moving back to California from Texas, and this
got a bunch of media coverage. What exactly, like actually
(25:43):
motivated you to make this move versus what did some
media outlets and people online claim that was driving you
to move back to California.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah? So I've lived in Texas now for four years
and I did it out of, you know, an evacuation
during COVID from Los Angeles. I lived right in the
middle of Hollywood and if you didn't live in La
New York, Seattle, Portland during COVID, you actually have no
idea how.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Oh I was in DC. DC was crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, if you weren't in a major city, you really
don't get it. So, you know, I've fled during the
riots and during the lockdowns which lasted. You know, maybe
if you live in a red state or a suburb,
maybe you had a year of lockdowns. If that, we
were going on two years of lockdowns in big, major cities.
So I left, and I don't regret it. I've had
(26:36):
an amazing time in Texas. I feel like it's helped
me grow so much, not only in my career but
also just as a person. But you know, California is
where I was born and raised. It is my home,
and I think it's really depressing to see what's happened
to the state. I think that it is ran not incompetently.
I think it's ran completely by villains who know exactly
(26:59):
what sort of policies and acting. I think you know
exactly what you're doing when you allow people to loot stores,
when you allow people to burn things, when you allow
people to overdose from vnsanol and give them drugs on
the street when you're driving through beautiful, historic, amazing cities
like San Francisco. I mean, you got to drive through
(27:19):
San Francisco. If you don't know what I'm talking about,
you can drive for half a mile and there will
be no empty space on certain sidewalks from just people
lying there, shooting up, fecal matter, people you don't know
where dead or alive. I saw my first dead body
in San Francisco just driving past a person dead on
the street. So you know, there's a lot of issues
(27:43):
in the entire state. Gavin Newsom is a villain and
I hate it. So I don't want to be someone
who runs for my problems. I want to go and
I want to help my home state. I want to
run for office when the time is right, and I
want to be a part of the solution. And that's
really been at the center of my whole career. Like
I started my YouTube channel because I was like, are
(28:04):
there no trans people talking about what should be really obvious,
like we shouldn't be sterilizing children, like what is going on?
So it's kind of like the same thing. Is no
one going to try to fix anything in California? Is
no one going to try to step up and be like,
we can do better than this. They are Americans sick
and dying. While all of our money is going to
(28:25):
foreign countries, foreign wars, foreign devastation across the planet. We
can't help our brothers and sisters and our children on
the streets in our home state. So I want to
be part of the solution. And I'm not obviously saying
too much about running. And it's the reason the media
picks it up. I think was you know, they're trying
(28:47):
to do this thing where they're trying to portray that
everyone regrets their vote for Trump, and even as disappointing
as some of the things in the second term so
far have been, I don't think the voting for Kamala
would have been any better. I think Kamala is equally
as loyal and subservient to Israel as Trump, which is
one of the issues I have with Trump. I think
Kamala would have obviously not been the person to release
(29:08):
the Epstein file, so everything I can kind of look
at that Trump is doing that disappointed me. It would
have been the same, if not worse, under Kamala. So
I think that that's what it was like, oh, influencers
regret following Joe Rogan to Austin, which I didn't follow
Joe Rogan. I went there on my own.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
What about So, I've seen people claim that Texas has
made it impossible to be trans, impossible to transition get
your treatments, and that's why you're leaving. Is there any
truth to that?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
I mean, I'm here. Yeah, I'm here and I'm trans.
So No, I have no issues getting my medication. It's cheap,
it's fast, I get it on time every month. I
have no legal issues. My driver's license says f I
don't really know what people are talking about. I know
there's a lot of propaganda, especially like that's one of
(29:59):
the things I've learned from moving to a red state
from California is how much propaganda people in blue states
are constantly under As it relates to Red states. You
would think it's some sort of like you would think
you're living in the eighteen hundreds in Texas and we've
still had slavery the way that people in some blue
states talk about Texas. You know, my mom, lifelong Democrat,
(30:21):
lived in California your whole life. When I said I
was moving to Texas, despite the fact that California was
burning and under riots and two years of lockdowns. She
was more scared of me moving to Texas. She was like, well,
I've heard it was I heard that there was all
this stuff going on. I'm like, look around, You're not
allowed to leave your house or go to work, You're
not allowed to be without a mask outside, and people
(30:43):
are burning things down. So it's propaganda. Obviously, there have
been certain bills in Texas that have not passed, and
one of them with no hope of passing it was
I think introduced in February that would have made sought
to make lying about your gender on a legal document
(31:04):
a felony or something like that, and it got no support,
and yet they still run with it. It didn't go through.
So there's a lot of propaganda, and it is what
it is. But I want to go home and I
want to be a part of the solution and stop
running from bad policies. I want to change them.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Would you run in a Republican party as a Republican
and do you think Republican voters in California, but more broadly,
would be okay with a trans politician. I mean, I've
definitely seen a few years ago, I would have said
yes without second guessing it. I've definitely seen an uptick
in anti transsentiment on the right, partly because they've overreached.
Transactivists have overreached so much. But would you run as
(31:45):
a Republican and do you think they would be cool
or indifferent with you being trans?
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I would run as a Republican. I am a Republican,
and I'm definitely not going to switch it up just
because I'm moving. Obviously, trans is a political weapon of
political football, and obviously a lot of people on the
right do have resentment towards even just that word. But
I've been someone that consistently, you know, have been able
(32:13):
to prove all of those stereotypes wrong. I have a
right wing audience, I have a Republican audience, and you know,
if anyone can do it. First of all, not to
shoot my own horn, but I don't really see anyone
else that can. I definitely can. And also, you know,
I think that maybe if I was running in Texas
as a Republican, the answer would be no. But I
(32:33):
think if any state would be able to do it,
any state would be able to have a Transrepublic, it
would one hundred percent be California. And I also, you know,
I have a lot of faith in Californians that it's
going to be if someone just comes forward, regardless of
who they are and what their background is, if someone
comes forward and just addresses the real issues, has an
(32:54):
actual incentive to fix them, isn't a fraud like every
other California politicans that speaks for itself. And so again,
no campaign launching now I almost feel like I'm sounding
like that already. But people just want their lives fixed.
People want to be able to walk the streets of
their cities in California. People want to be able to
(33:15):
afford things. People want to be able to live and
try to give their kids some sort of life. Young people.
You know, it's not even millennials have had their struggles.
Gen Z right now, like has no hope of owning
anything in the future, has no hope of a sustainable,
you know, economic life. And so I think when people
(33:35):
just come forward and are honest, regardless of you know
what baggage they may come with, people appreciate that. You know,
I don't think every person who voted for Trump, obviously,
both all three times you know relates to him, thinks
he's like a necessarily good person, but they felt like
he was going to address their issues and there's power
in that regardless of who you are.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Well, I will be very interested to see what moves
you make or what you do in California. Uh, and
we'll keep in touch, and thanks so much for coming on. Everybody,
check out Blair's channel and uh, hopefully we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Black Yes, thank you, see you next time.
