Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is Red Pilled America. Hey, it's Patrick Crelci and.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Adriana Portez and welcome to Red Pilled America's fan boogie.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
So I hope you guys week is going well. It's
kind of a strange week this week. There is weird
talks of one hundred men taking on gorilla debate, a
lot of strange things going on today with a potential
dentist being Kanye West's supplier. Adriana, you had a dentist
(00:54):
story this week, didn't you.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yes, In fact, I went to the dentist. And I
think a lot of the listeners are going to remember
this because you guys are around my age, not quite
as old as Patrick, but more my age. Do you
guys remember in the seventies there used to be those
schoolhouse rock PSAs and one of them was called Yuckmouth.
(01:21):
Do you remember Yuckmouth? They call ye yuckmouth because you don't. Okay,
I go to the dentist every three months religiously to
get my teeth cleaned. I'm just I'm really good about that. Well,
my dentist, who by the way, is in a very
liberal part of town, and I know that they google
me because everybody googles everybody. And I've had a little
(01:44):
bit of beef with a couple of the dentists there.
They have several dentists there, and my main guy actually
recently left. Okay, this other dentist, this woman, she gave
me a liberal vibe. She gave me some you know,
some talk that I didn't like, and so I said
I didn't want her anymore. But anyway, today I went
am I cleaning and the dental hygienist was kind of
(02:08):
being really aggressive with me so much so she made
me feel like a yuckmouth and I did not like that.
And so I told her that she had a bad
bedside manner because she did. And she said, well, I'm silly,
let's you feel that way. And I said to her,
I know I don't feel that way. You do have
a bad bedside manner and you need to work on that.
(02:28):
And someone had to tell you, and I guess it
was me. Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Treatment she got the aj.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Then she started cleaning my teeth and she was being
kind of rough and I asked her to numb me.
And I, you know, because I usually I get a
different guy that is my dental hygienist, because I think
that they know, like, oh God, here comes this lady.
You know she's complained before. And she said to me, oh, yeah, yeah,
you're kind of sensitive. I know that. You know he
usually numbs you. And I said, well, if you knew that,
(02:57):
why didn't you numb me? See what I mean about
your bedside manner? This speaks to that again. You need
to work on that. You know, I'm sensitive. You should
have numbed me up a little bit. But you didn't
do that. Why, she was like, And then I left,
and I basically did I leave? I kind of I left,
(03:17):
kicking and screens.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
You left, slamming the door.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I did, and I made a declaration that I'm not
going to go back there. I basically called my guy
that left there, and I'm going to go to his
new practice. And I should have done that all along.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Do we need to go to the dentist?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Actually I do. I like it.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I mean, I am just trying.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I would like it if you went too.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh interesting, Yeah, I've washed my teeth more than you do.
I use mouthwash all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You're addicted to the mouthwash. I love them for your stomach.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It isn't I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
But also I think it also kills a good bacteria.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
No, because it's not an antibacteria.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That I it's not that I think you have a
yuck mouth or anything like that. I just want you
to have healthy teeth.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I want healthy teeth too. But every time I go there,
I feel like I'm getting the upsell. It's always the upsell.
It's not just that was the thing today.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She was trying to upsell me and I was like, no, no, no,
I'm not into the upsell. Just do I'm here every
three months. Yeah, I mean, And she was trying to
make me feel like a yak mouth. And literally, the
guy next to me had not been to the dentist
in twenty years, and they were all talking about him.
They had to give him nitrous, And I was like, well,
give me some frickin' nitrous. Literally, I'm having a little
bit of anxiety.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And this guy had no idea that his twenty year
twenty years stay away. And the dentist is going to
be making it on a podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah I know, po God, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay, So we're gonna be talking a little bit about
some kind of just funky stuff because it's been a
weird week in the news.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
You know what, I'm gonna be honest with you guys.
This week, I haven't been I have a confession to
make everybody. I haven't been paying that much attention to
politics because I'm deep, deep into the baseball. Okay, the
Dodgers have been playing, and I the Dodgers play and
I'm glued to the TV. Yeah, I'm a I'm like
one of those sports dudes.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Now with the Dodgers, it's kind of tough because once
you catch the fever. This is why I've been a
Dodger fan pretty much since the mid seventies. And then
I took a long hiatus away from it because you
can only take so many losing seasons before you like,
I can't do this anymore. So we took a big
stint away, or I shouldn't say big stint. It took
a long you know, posog to step back and then
(05:26):
and I watched it a little bit like when they
started to come back, you know, the teens, the twenty
teens and stuff. But then I stepped away from again,
and then they won this World Series and we kind
of went we were kind of towards the tail end.
We were just like watching it every day and it
got me completely hooked. Now we're watching the Dodgers, like
every single game that they're playing, we have it like
(05:46):
going on in the background. Did you see that person
fall out of the It was crazy. So I don't
know if you guys noticed this, but there was a
game or know this, but there was a game.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It was a Pittsburgh versus the Cubs, Chicago Cubs and Pirates.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I guess all you could see it in the background.
This guy just kind of stands up. It looked like
he jumped.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
However, No, but reports are saying he was very very
intoxicated and he fell. It did look like he jumped
to me, but you really can't tell him the video
to be you can't make a clear call.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
No, but he fell like a good at least twenty
feet and landed. Not he landed in a very awkward way.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Almost like do not do't google it?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, no, google it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So I haven't seen it. Dog google it.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
We saw it right before we went to bed, and
it was like, smart, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Smart? What are we doing with our lives?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So we're gonna talk a little bit about this one
hundred men versus gorilla debate that's been going on. We're
also going to talk about this Yay West getting hooked
on some kind of a I think it's like a
novacane kind of thing with his dentist, which is kind
of crazy. Elon Musk dropping out of Doge.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Out at Dose.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He's out at Doge. Well, he said he's gonna we'll
get into that and.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's going to go make more babies with more hoes.
He's busy.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And then we got Mike Waltz out at the NSA
and going, I guess to the un now. And then
we're gonna get into some other topics as well too.
But let's start off with this. Uh, Elon out at Doge.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yes, let's talk about that. Hand.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I gotta say this was pretty It kind of bummed
me out this news. Okay, so recent news came out
that Elon Musk is out at Doge. He's not going
to be putting as much time into it. He has
a team already together kind of combing through everything. He's
going to check in remotely. And I think it has
(07:45):
mostly to do with the fact that he was under attack,
just under crazy. Well you think he cave you read
it well, I don't know if it's caving or if
it's you know, basically, Tesla's stocks have been plummeted.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You have still rich, sure than Jeff Bezos. I don't
know that's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I don't know profits of plummeting. The car sales are down,
and as we've been seeing in the news, Tesla has
been being attacked left and right. It got to a
point to where Tesla had to put out an announcement
saying that no, we're not looking for a new CEO.
He's our CEO. We're following him through. And I guess
it got me bummed for a couple of reasons. One
(08:26):
Elon Basically, when he first started talking about Doge, he
talked about being there for eighteen months, and I guess,
you know, technically you could still argue that he's still there.
But the fact that he's been under this attack like
crazy has been you know, it's been frustrating to see.
And then you have now he's you know that I
guess they're claiming that they've saved one hundred and sixty
(08:46):
billion dollars. His target was two trillion. Now once again,
I'm sure that he was making that target over the
eighteen month timeframe. But you know, the media is like, ah,
you know, he's he's already bailing and he hasn't he
hasn't made that much money. And it bums me out
because here you have a guy it's really trying to
go in and clean things up and get efficient and
(09:07):
get the government efficient, giving up his own time not
getting paid to do so, and his company is getting
attacked and hit. The owners of Tesla, these vehicle owners
are getting attacked, they're getting their cars keyed, they're getting
accosted on the side of the road, they're getting road
raged against. And it seems like the tactics worked.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh that's too bad. I think maybe you should buy
me a cyber truck.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Well, the next car we're getting. I was literally thinking
about getting a Tesla because of this, because of everything
that's been happening, and I you know, if you're in
the car market, think about it, guys, because this is
just this can't happen. We can't allow this to happen.
It's almost like I feel the same way with the Trump.
You know, when Trump went for his now you know
this term in twenty twenty four. The whole reason, the
(09:59):
main impetus behind me getting behind him. Obviously the policies
as well too, but the main driver was is the
attacks against him and the law fair against him, and
the raid of his house and throwing him in jail
and trying to kill this man. And I thought, this
cannot be the way America is. America cannot survive with
this as a method. And now I'm seeing this with
(10:21):
Doge and with Elon Musk, and it's just kind of
it's frustrating to me because the Left is very good
at these violent tactics.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, they really really are. I mean, you can't deny
that he's done a great job with Doge.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
He started, he's on the right path. But I don't
think it's just the left that's been going at him.
I think it's the right that's been going at him
as well too, because he's starting to you know, once
you get in there and you start to see all
of this waste and abuse and corruption, it touches everybody.
It doesn't just touch the Democrats, it touches the Republicans
(10:56):
as well.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It does And I want to be clear that, you know,
when we talk about his baby Mama drama, I feel
like that is that has nothing to do with the
work that he does at DOGE or with Tesla. Those
are two separate things.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
It is, but it leaves him up to attack easily easier.
It makes it that much easier to attack him. So
I guess, you know, it's one of those kinds of
things where I think, how do you move forward and
get good leaders on board when you have tactics like
this that can be so easily employed. And I wonder
(11:32):
if he saw this coming. I wonder if he said,
you know what, I'm going to get attackled because his
companies have been attacked in the past, but nothing like
this to where now you have the Illinois governor Pritzker
basically openly saying we need to, you know, start protesting,
and he said he's never done that before. I guess
he was at an event where it's typically an event
(11:56):
that people that are trying to get into the race
for the White House goes to, and it's kind of
a stand event to go to. And I just don't
know how we fight these kinds of.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Was he saying to protest that event or he was.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Saying just protest in general, and they like what they're seeing.
Obviously they're liking that they're seeing this king of the cars,
these lighting, Tesla's on fire, these this kind of violent action.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
They like that well because it's clearly being effective. It's working. It.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
It got the man out early.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Are you sure? Are we sure he's out early? For sure?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I mean he's taking a step back and he's it's
clear that he's doing that. He's he announced it. He
wore multiple hats the other day, kind of joking that
I wear multiple hats. But you know, his company's been
under attack and it's the one company that can really
kind of hone in on They can't really hone in
on Twitter because you know, there's no way to kind
of attack Twitter in the same way that they attack Tesla.
(12:54):
You can't really do it with starlink. What are you
going to do, Like, how are you going to take
out a satellite? You know, you can't really go after
space X, but Tesla cars, you know, you have consumers
driving those things. And it just kind of the message
that it's getting out there to people is that you
cannot be a successful person. I think really the only
way that he could have successfully stayed on for eighteen
(13:17):
months is if he just wiped his hands clean of
these businesses because otherwise they wouldn't have had an attack
mode or attack vector on him.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah. Well, the consumer element of Tesla makes things tricky
because now people are afraid to buy Tesla's because they
don't want to be attacked. Now they're being dragged in. Yeah,
and that's what makes it very messy.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It does make it messy, and I hope that it
doesn't stop other players to get involved. I think they're
going to have to be kind of careful in the
kind of business that they have that it can't be
attacked in this manner.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Maybe they should hire who he plays every every position.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Oh my god, you are so in love with Dodgers.
I don't know if if I spoke about a woman
as much as you speak about Keik Hernandez from the Dodgers,
I don't think that you would feel very comfortable about that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Well, it's different because he's my boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Let's talk about Sidney Sweeney here for a second. Let's
do that, So we're gonna take a quick break. I
guess the way that I want to leave that because
I don't like being doom in gloom. Ultimately, I think
that he should be celebrated I've always thought that he's
done great things. He's made mistakes with this whole Baby
Mama drama stuff, but I think he's done a great
(14:32):
service in getting rid of all this USAID waste. He's
kind of shown all of the corruption that's within the government,
and you're going to need others to kind of step
up that can't be attacked in the same way that
he has been attacked to kind of finish the job.
And I do hope some others come to the table
and help finish the job that he started, because it's
(14:54):
a very kind of important work that he was doing.
Because there's no way we can continue to go on
with all this waste and corruption. And this is every
everything that the Conservatives and the Republican Party has been
talking about for what thirty forty fifty years now, the
government spending, And here was a man that came in
and was willing to put his own personal wealth at risk,
(15:18):
and that should be lauded. So we're going to take
a quick break and we're gonna come back and talk
about this Mike Waltz out at the NSA because and
see what it shows about the Trump administration. And we'll
get to that right after the break. There's nothing that
makes me happier than putting on a fire, propping up
my feet, popping on a movie, and curling up next
to the love of my life. That being licorice from

We need the support. It's hard to put together a
storytelling show of this nature. I cannot believe after what now,
how many years have we been doing this now? Six
plus years.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Six hundred and fifty nine years, a lot of years.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
And of course this is not our storytelling show. This
is fam Boogie.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
This is our top trail show.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
But the documentary series is so I'm so surprised that
there hasn't been a sea of other people to come
out in because.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
That's how hard it is to do. But you know
what I have to say, I love doing it and
I'm loving this series. And you know, part of the
thing that really helps us when we have backstage subscribers.
Is it gives us more flexibility to be able to
take our time with these series and really get it
right and do a good job. And this series in particular,
(17:49):
What's an American has been so much research has gone
into it. Yeah, but I'm loving it. The new one
it will be out you guys on Monday, ready to
go this week.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It's ready to go.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
But we want to be consistent with putting up the
new episodes on Mondays and doing the fan boogies on Friday.
So this is part one a fan boogie.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yes, all right, So let's talk a little bit about
this Mike Waltz thing. Because the thing that I really
grabbed on this, and this is kind of something I
wanted to share with everybody, was everyone's always asking like
who do we trust? Who should we be listening to?
Who should we trust? The thing that I like about
this Mike Waltz story is it highlights somebody that I
(18:33):
think has really I've gained respect for as a reporter.
And will get into that in a second. But this
Mike Waltz guy, for those of you guys that don't
know he was the guy, he's the National Security Advisor
for President Trump, and the big thing that happened with
(18:54):
him happened a couple maybe about a month or so
ago that he somehow was in communication with the Trump
team through this communication software called Signal and apparently they
were talking about an attack it's somewhere in the Middle East.
And added to the Signal chat was a reporter from
(19:17):
the Atlantic and who's a huge Trump hater. And so
this reporter sees this communication happening and ends up doing
a story on it, and it was kind of this
national security story of look at how poorly this White
House is running things because now you have a Trump
(19:39):
hater added to the chat on this. It was ended
up after some time there. Mike Waltz ended up being
the person that most thought added him to this on accident.
And so then the story started to go well as
Mike Waltz leaking to this reporter at the Atlantic because
of the fact that he had his contact and was
(20:00):
added to this on accident, and there had been and
some stories that have kind of been leaked to the
Atlantic before in the past, and so and.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Also more people kind of don't a lot of people
feel like he's part of the swamp.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yes, he's kind of part of the war with Iran
swamp and so that story was signal gate.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And by the way, in fairness, if that would have happened,
you know, if the other side would have done done that,
we would have ran with it as well. You know,
I feel like it was it may have been an
honest mistake, but it was fair game. It was a mistake, nonetheless.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
But the main fact that somebody had this huge Trump
haters contact on their phone and added him to this,
the fact that they even had that contact is kind
of a little bit troubling. I mean, like, I mean,
this was the guy, the reporter at The Atlantic that
came out with this whole Trump praised hitler story leading
(20:56):
up to the election of twenty twenty four and that
he wanted the people within his cabinet to be more
like like the Nazis kind of looking up to Hitler.
That kind of a thing, Okay, But is his administration
having this contact person's number in their phone for these
kinds of situations?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
All right? I don't know the answer to that. But
you know, there is a saying keep your friends closer,
keep your enemies closer. So we don't really know why
you had the contact but agreed it feels problematic exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And that writer's name was Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief
over at The Atlantic. So now the news comes out
that he's out and apparently he's you know, the media
is giddy because now they have a scalp. I don't
think it's their first scalp. I think the first scalp
was what's his name from Gates from Florida. The fact
(21:46):
that he was never even went through the confirmation process. Yes,
I think for the Attorney General, I think that that
was the media's first scalp. But they're trying to lean
on this as potentially his first scalp, and so the
media is all giddy about it. Look at the chaos
that's happening here. You had somebody, a spokesperson for one
of Trump's departments, didn't know that this person was given
(22:11):
the he ho, Mike Walts was given the he ho,
and so it looked kind of chaotic for a second. Well,
it turns out he's been reassigned to be the UN ambassador,
which apparently is kind of a very ceremonial kind of positions.
I think it comes with a lot of benefits in
that kind of thing. So he's moving over to there.
But the thing that I thought that was really interesting
(22:32):
about this is the person who broke it, which is
Mark Halprinth, and we've spoken about him several times on
the show. He's even made an appearance in Which Way
America for his reporting Mike, excuse me. Mark Halprin used
to be at MSNBC. He's been a reporter around for many,
(22:53):
many years, and during this twenty twenty four election, he
ended up getting me twoed at one point. I think
it seemed to be very unf and he ended up
taking hiatus for a while. Then he came out again
with this two Way app that's out there, and the
two Way app is or the two Way kind of platform.
(23:15):
It's pretty interesting. He speaks to regular people and then
he also has several kind of political people in Washington, DC.
Is part of.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
The panel, and he is now part of the Megan
Kelly's Network exactly.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
He recently jumped on board with Megan Kelly. But he
was the guy that first started talking about this on
Thursday morning before the news had broke, and then once
again the news comes out and he ends up being right.
He was also the guy that broke the Joe Biden
was going to be stepping down story days in advance.
(23:51):
He was the one that kind of broke all the
polling issues that the Democrats were having. The polls were
coming out saying that Harris was winning, Kamala Harris is winning.
Turns out that that was a bunch of hogwash that
he ended up being proven right on that, and the
aftermath and the kind the post mortem of the election,
you had all these Democrats coming forward saying, yeah, she
(24:12):
was never head in the polls, and so he was
proven right then. Now he's being proven as a great reporter,
at least having great sources in Washington, d C. Because
he's the one that broke this Mike Waltz story. And
I don't know there's something about that that I just
wanted to point out to people that there are journalists
(24:32):
out there that I think he's pretty straight up. I
don't think he necessarily is a Trump voter or is
anti Trump. I think he's just one of those guys
that's been in Washington, DC, knows the game, has been
watching this game for some time, hasn't chosen a side. Really,
He's found his niche, which is basically kind of you know,
(24:54):
poking or telling the truth when the legacy media won't
and he has the legacy media credentials to do it.
I just I really love his reporting and he's a
guy that I turned to on a regular basis, and
we constantly talk about that, Who do we trust? Who
do we trust? It's hard to trust people in the
media because at some point everybody has a weak spot,
(25:16):
you know, in the kind of in a certain kind
of story genre that they kind of have a bias
that they just can't get around. But he doesn't seem
to have that yet. I haven't sat found it yet.
Bias mine is, Yeah, I'm going to keep that to myself. Okay,
(25:38):
you keep your KEYK comments to yourself. You can have
all the thoughts in your head that you want about thoughts.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's not like a bad thoughts again.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
K k Hernandez is the Dodger that ends up playing
pretty much every position on the Dodgers. He's number eight,
as she knows his number.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You guys want to know that. But yeah, you know what,
it's hard to find good reporters that you can trust.
And Mark Halpern is definitely one of those guys that
we trust. And I value I appreciate his style.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yes, he is just a straight shooter. You know, I
saw recently what's his name, what's the guy from Project Veritas?
His name again, James o'keef. James O'Keefe, Thank you. James
has some big story that he's going to be telling,
and he has this theatrical way of telling, you know,
promoting his stories, and so he video takes himself recently
(26:32):
saying I'm not suicidal. I'm not suicidal, but I have
to take a break because of this story that I'm
working on. It I'm going to basically be announcing to
you guys soon. And I'm just watching that. I'm just like,
oh god, it's like a theater, so theatrical, and he's
good at that kind of a thing. I guess he's
good at kind of getting eyeballs on his stories. Mark Halprin.
(26:53):
I have a hard time when somebody is theatrical like
that of kind of trusting the.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Work, taking them seriously.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yes, there's a guy like Mark Halprin who is just
a straight shooter. And sometimes he'll say some things you
don't want to hear, but it is, he says, just
a straight, straight shooter. And I think we should be
celebrating journalists like that, not the ones that are just
constantly telling us what we want to hear about Trump
(27:19):
or telling the left what they want to hear about
the Democrats. You need to find those guys and then
kind of, you know, listen to them as much as
you can, even at the hard times when you don't
want to hear the news that they have to deliver
to you.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay, I'm going to name off some reporters on the right,
and then you're going to give them a ranking. Okay, Okay,
you're gonna tell me so. One being you don't trust
them at all, you don't think people should listen to them.
Five being they're solid Okay, Okay, Okay, timpoole.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I would say Tim is in the three range.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
What yeah, Okay, Now I'm going to give him a one. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
No, I think he's good on some stuff. He's actually
there's been some things where when he talks about the
Israel kind of mania that's been growing on the right.
He was the guy that first opened my eyes to
the fact that the United States. Well but yeah, but
you're saying, and I want I want to give a
reason why he was the guy that first kind of
(28:21):
opened my eyes to the United States actually being the
ones that use Israel as a tool a lot of
the times, and so you can't put all the blame
on Israel for a lot of these situations. He's opened
my eyes to that. There's times where he does some
good reporting, and there's times where when he makes mistakes
he doesn't correct.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
That's my problem. That's for me, that's not forgivable. I
can't get past that. That's why I'm down to a one. Okay, Okay,
I'm not really uh, I'm a black or white. Yeah,
there's no real gray for me. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Megan Kelly, Megan Kelly, I would give her a four.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, me too, me too. Let's see who else? Can
I ask you about? Mike Cernovich?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I would give Mike a five. And this is why
I would give Micah five. He's been great to the show.
He I feel like he says things that a lot
of times people don't want to hear. That doesn't necessarily
help grow his audience, but he says them anyways. I've
noticed that he can play, he can see both sides
of controversial issues. There's the bomb bass that's there at times,
(29:25):
he's been so great to the show that there's my week.
There's one of my weaknesses when somebody is good to
the show.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
He's not really a reporter.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
No, he's not really. You know, he's a commentator and
he's done, he's done some stories that that.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
That realm is so wide. Now do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Everybody's a reporter.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yes, exactly, exactly, Okay, Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I love Jesse me too.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I'm going to give him a five. No one's asking me,
but I'm going to give Jesse Kelly a five.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Guys, but you're talking more like this is kind. He's
more of a political commentator as as opposed to a
reporter like Mark Halprin. They do two completely.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Different you do That's what This is a wide spec
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
But but I enjoyed fun little ahead people.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I just want to know what you think. Okay, we
want to know, inquiring mindes want to know. That's all
I got forre you. We're done.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
You don't get anything else, Okay, okay, let me give
you a couple. How about Benny Johnson zero. He's definitely
a one for me. I feel like he's a great.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
He's great at social media.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
He's a great social media guy. He's a good content creator.
But I cannot tell you how many times he's put
stuff out that have been completely false. You know what
it is.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
He's a clickbait guy. Yeah, that's what he is.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
And I would throw DC Draino in that world as
well too.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I think they don't really fit well into this this game.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
But the but here's the those kinds of people view
those guys as new sources. I have close friends that
have viewed some of the people that you've just mentioned
that we would throw in the one or zero rain
as news sources. Let's do this with more like who else?
I like this story, I liked it. I like this game.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Who I thought Adriana Cortez.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Adriana is a solid six. Okay, you're a solid six.
Oud Tucker Tucker, I would put in the Yeah. I
put Tucker in the four. I put Tucker in four. Yeah,
he's I think that he has a he I don't
like what he was doing with the with the Andrew
Tate stuff. I think you're right, there's some there's some
stuff in that area. I think that he is an
(31:36):
incredible if if you want to just say, entertainment entertainment side,
I think he's a ten. You know, he goes way
off the Richter scale as far as that goes. I'd
love his style.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
He brought back the bow tie, I'd go to a
foreign four and a half.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Okay, Yeah, the bow tie was where it was at.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Okay with that, I think that that is I think
we've made enough enemies in that segment.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
We are the friend list and I have clearly I'd
like to keep it that way.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Hey, if you if this is something you guys want
us to go, we will go down the line on this. Okay,
give us the names and we will give you our
opinion on them. The truth, the truth.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
You know, nothing but the truth. Yes, nothing but the
truth to our detriment. By the way, but there are
so many people we love. We love you guys.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That wraps up part one. We're going to go into
part two, so join us over there. We're gonna be
talking about this day story that kind of explains the
nuttiness that we've been seeing with him over the last year. Also,
there's another race war story that is blowing up online
right now that is kind of showing where things are
(32:42):
going into this summer. Finally, we're going to get into
this meme about one hundred men fighting one gorilla. Let's
get into it in part two. Join us two,
This is Red Pilled America. Hey, it's Patrick Crelci and.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Adriana Portez and welcome to Red Pilled America's fan boogie.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
So I hope you guys week is going well. It's
kind of a strange week this week. There is weird
talks of one hundred men taking on gorilla debate, a
lot of strange things going on today with a potential
dentist being Kanye West's supplier. Adriana, you had a dentist
(00:54):
story this week, didn't you.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yes, In fact, I went to the dentist. And I
think a lot of the listeners are going to remember
this because you guys are around my age, not quite
as old as Patrick, but more my age. Do you
guys remember in the seventies there used to be those
schoolhouse rock PSAs and one of them was called Yuckmouth.
(01:21):
Do you remember Yuckmouth? They call ye yuckmouth because you don't. Okay,
I go to the dentist every three months religiously to
get my teeth cleaned. I'm just I'm really good about that. Well,
my dentist, who by the way, is in a very
liberal part of town, and I know that they google
me because everybody googles everybody. And I've had a little
(01:44):
bit of beef with a couple of the dentists there.
They have several dentists there, and my main guy actually
recently left. Okay, this other dentist, this woman, she gave
me a liberal vibe. She gave me some you know,
some talk that I didn't like, and so I said
I didn't want her anymore. But anyway, today I went
am I cleaning and the dental hygienist was kind of
(02:08):
being really aggressive with me so much so she made
me feel like a yuckmouth and I did not like that.
And so I told her that she had a bad
bedside manner because she did. And she said, well, I'm silly,
let's you feel that way. And I said to her,
I know I don't feel that way. You do have
a bad bedside manner and you need to work on that.
(02:28):
And someone had to tell you, and I guess it
was me. Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Treatment she got the aj.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Then she started cleaning my teeth and she was being
kind of rough and I asked her to numb me.
And I, you know, because I usually I get a
different guy that is my dental hygienist, because I think
that they know, like, oh God, here comes this lady.
You know she's complained before. And she said to me, oh, yeah, yeah,
you're kind of sensitive. I know that. You know he
usually numbs you. And I said, well, if you knew that,
(02:57):
why didn't you numb me? See what I mean about
your bedside manner? This speaks to that again. You need
to work on that. You know, I'm sensitive. You should
have numbed me up a little bit. But you didn't
do that. Why, she was like, And then I left,
and I basically did I leave? I kind of I left,
(03:17):
kicking and screens.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
You left, slamming the door.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I did, and I made a declaration that I'm not
going to go back there. I basically called my guy
that left there, and I'm going to go to his
new practice. And I should have done that all along.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Do we need to go to the dentist?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Actually I do. I like it.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I mean, I am just trying.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I would like it if you went too.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh interesting, Yeah, I've washed my teeth more than you do.
I use mouthwash all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You're addicted to the mouthwash. I love them for your stomach.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It isn't I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
But also I think it also kills a good bacteria.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
No, because it's not an antibacteria.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That I it's not that I think you have a
yuck mouth or anything like that. I just want you
to have healthy teeth.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I want healthy teeth too. But every time I go there,
I feel like I'm getting the upsell. It's always the upsell.
It's not just that was the thing today.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She was trying to upsell me and I was like, no, no, no,
I'm not into the upsell. Just do I'm here every
three months. Yeah, I mean, And she was trying to
make me feel like a yak mouth. And literally, the
guy next to me had not been to the dentist
in twenty years, and they were all talking about him.
They had to give him nitrous, And I was like, well,
give me some frickin' nitrous. Literally, I'm having a little
bit of anxiety.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And this guy had no idea that his twenty year
twenty years stay away. And the dentist is going to
be making it on a podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah I know, po God, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay, So we're gonna be talking a little bit about
some kind of just funky stuff because it's been a
weird week in the news.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
You know what, I'm gonna be honest with you guys.
This week, I haven't been I have a confession to
make everybody. I haven't been paying that much attention to
politics because I'm deep, deep into the baseball. Okay, the
Dodgers have been playing, and I the Dodgers play and
I'm glued to the TV. Yeah, I'm a I'm like
one of those sports dudes.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Now with the Dodgers, it's kind of tough because once
you catch the fever. This is why I've been a
Dodger fan pretty much since the mid seventies. And then
I took a long hiatus away from it because you
can only take so many losing seasons before you like,
I can't do this anymore. So we took a big
stint away, or I shouldn't say big stint. It took
a long you know, posog to step back and then
(05:26):
and I watched it a little bit like when they
started to come back, you know, the teens, the twenty
teens and stuff. But then I stepped away from again,
and then they won this World Series and we kind
of went we were kind of towards the tail end.
We were just like watching it every day and it
got me completely hooked. Now we're watching the Dodgers, like
every single game that they're playing, we have it like
(05:46):
going on in the background. Did you see that person
fall out of the It was crazy. So I don't
know if you guys noticed this, but there was a
game or know this, but there was a game.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It was a Pittsburgh versus the Cubs, Chicago Cubs and Pirates.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I guess all you could see it in the background.
This guy just kind of stands up. It looked like
he jumped.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
However, No, but reports are saying he was very very
intoxicated and he fell. It did look like he jumped
to me, but you really can't tell him the video
to be you can't make a clear call.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
No, but he fell like a good at least twenty
feet and landed. Not he landed in a very awkward way.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Almost like do not do't google it?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, no, google it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So I haven't seen it. Dog google it.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
We saw it right before we went to bed, and
it was like, smart, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Smart? What are we doing with our lives?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So we're gonna talk a little bit about this one
hundred men versus gorilla debate that's been going on. We're
also going to talk about this Yay West getting hooked
on some kind of a I think it's like a
novacane kind of thing with his dentist, which is kind
of crazy. Elon Musk dropping out of Doge.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Out at Dose.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He's out at Doge. Well, he said he's gonna we'll
get into that and.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's going to go make more babies with more hoes.
He's busy.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And then we got Mike Waltz out at the NSA
and going, I guess to the un now. And then
we're gonna get into some other topics as well too.
But let's start off with this. Uh, Elon out at Doge.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yes, let's talk about that. Hand.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I gotta say this was pretty It kind of bummed
me out this news. Okay, so recent news came out
that Elon Musk is out at Doge. He's not going
to be putting as much time into it. He has
a team already together kind of combing through everything. He's
going to check in remotely. And I think it has
(07:45):
mostly to do with the fact that he was under attack,
just under crazy. Well you think he cave you read
it well, I don't know if it's caving or if
it's you know, basically, Tesla's stocks have been plummeted.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You have still rich, sure than Jeff Bezos. I don't
know that's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I don't know profits of plummeting. The car sales are down,
and as we've been seeing in the news, Tesla has
been being attacked left and right. It got to a
point to where Tesla had to put out an announcement
saying that no, we're not looking for a new CEO.
He's our CEO. We're following him through. And I guess
it got me bummed for a couple of reasons. One
(08:26):
Elon Basically, when he first started talking about Doge, he
talked about being there for eighteen months, and I guess,
you know, technically you could still argue that he's still there.
But the fact that he's been under this attack like
crazy has been you know, it's been frustrating to see.
And then you have now he's you know that I
guess they're claiming that they've saved one hundred and sixty
(08:46):
billion dollars. His target was two trillion. Now once again,
I'm sure that he was making that target over the
eighteen month timeframe. But you know, the media is like, ah,
you know, he's he's already bailing and he hasn't he
hasn't made that much money. And it bums me out
because here you have a guy it's really trying to
go in and clean things up and get efficient and
(09:07):
get the government efficient, giving up his own time not
getting paid to do so, and his company is getting
attacked and hit. The owners of Tesla, these vehicle owners
are getting attacked, they're getting their cars keyed, they're getting
accosted on the side of the road, they're getting road
raged against. And it seems like the tactics worked.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh that's too bad. I think maybe you should buy
me a cyber truck.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Well, the next car we're getting. I was literally thinking
about getting a Tesla because of this, because of everything
that's been happening, and I you know, if you're in
the car market, think about it, guys, because this is
just this can't happen. We can't allow this to happen.
It's almost like I feel the same way with the Trump.
You know, when Trump went for his now you know
this term in twenty twenty four. The whole reason, the
(09:59):
main impetus behind me getting behind him. Obviously the policies
as well too, but the main driver was is the
attacks against him and the law fair against him, and
the raid of his house and throwing him in jail
and trying to kill this man. And I thought, this
cannot be the way America is. America cannot survive with
this as a method. And now I'm seeing this with
(10:21):
Doge and with Elon Musk, and it's just kind of
it's frustrating to me because the Left is very good
at these violent tactics.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, they really really are. I mean, you can't deny
that he's done a great job with Doge.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
He started, he's on the right path. But I don't
think it's just the left that's been going at him.
I think it's the right that's been going at him
as well too, because he's starting to you know, once
you get in there and you start to see all
of this waste and abuse and corruption, it touches everybody.
It doesn't just touch the Democrats, it touches the Republicans
(10:56):
as well.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It does And I want to be clear that, you know,
when we talk about his baby Mama drama, I feel
like that is that has nothing to do with the
work that he does at DOGE or with Tesla. Those
are two separate things.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
It is, but it leaves him up to attack easily easier.
It makes it that much easier to attack him. So
I guess, you know, it's one of those kinds of
things where I think, how do you move forward and
get good leaders on board when you have tactics like
this that can be so easily employed. And I wonder
(11:32):
if he saw this coming. I wonder if he said,
you know what, I'm going to get attackled because his
companies have been attacked in the past, but nothing like
this to where now you have the Illinois governor Pritzker
basically openly saying we need to, you know, start protesting,
and he said he's never done that before. I guess
he was at an event where it's typically an event
(11:56):
that people that are trying to get into the race
for the White House goes to, and it's kind of
a stand event to go to. And I just don't
know how we fight these kinds of.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Was he saying to protest that event or he was.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Saying just protest in general, and they like what they're seeing.
Obviously they're liking that they're seeing this king of the cars,
these lighting, Tesla's on fire, these this kind of violent action.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
They like that well because it's clearly being effective. It's working. It.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
It got the man out early.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Are you sure? Are we sure he's out early? For sure?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I mean he's taking a step back and he's it's
clear that he's doing that. He's he announced it. He
wore multiple hats the other day, kind of joking that
I wear multiple hats. But you know, his company's been
under attack and it's the one company that can really
kind of hone in on They can't really hone in
on Twitter because you know, there's no way to kind
of attack Twitter in the same way that they attack Tesla.
(12:54):
You can't really do it with starlink. What are you
going to do, Like, how are you going to take
out a satellite? You know, you can't really go after
space X, but Tesla cars, you know, you have consumers
driving those things. And it just kind of the message
that it's getting out there to people is that you
cannot be a successful person. I think really the only
way that he could have successfully stayed on for eighteen
(13:17):
months is if he just wiped his hands clean of
these businesses because otherwise they wouldn't have had an attack
mode or attack vector on him.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah. Well, the consumer element of Tesla makes things tricky
because now people are afraid to buy Tesla's because they
don't want to be attacked. Now they're being dragged in. Yeah,
and that's what makes it very messy.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It does make it messy, and I hope that it
doesn't stop other players to get involved. I think they're
going to have to be kind of careful in the
kind of business that they have that it can't be
attacked in this manner.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Maybe they should hire who he plays every every position.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Oh my god, you are so in love with Dodgers.
I don't know if if I spoke about a woman
as much as you speak about Keik Hernandez from the Dodgers,
I don't think that you would feel very comfortable about that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Well, it's different because he's my boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Let's talk about Sidney Sweeney here for a second. Let's
do that, So we're gonna take a quick break. I
guess the way that I want to leave that because
I don't like being doom in gloom. Ultimately, I think
that he should be celebrated I've always thought that he's
done great things. He's made mistakes with this whole Baby
Mama drama stuff, but I think he's done a great
(14:32):
service in getting rid of all this USAID waste. He's
kind of shown all of the corruption that's within the government,
and you're going to need others to kind of step
up that can't be attacked in the same way that
he has been attacked to kind of finish the job.
And I do hope some others come to the table
and help finish the job that he started, because it's
(14:54):
a very kind of important work that he was doing.
Because there's no way we can continue to go on
with all this waste and corruption. And this is every
everything that the Conservatives and the Republican Party has been
talking about for what thirty forty fifty years now, the
government spending, And here was a man that came in
and was willing to put his own personal wealth at risk,
(15:18):
and that should be lauded. So we're going to take
a quick break and we're gonna come back and talk
about this Mike Waltz out at the NSA because and
see what it shows about the Trump administration. And we'll
get to that right after the break. There's nothing that
makes me happier than putting on a fire, propping up
my feet, popping on a movie, and curling up next
to the love of my life. That being licorice from
(15:40):
the Licorice Guy. If you've been listening to RPA for
some time, then you know that licorice is my jam
and that it does not get any better than the
gourmet licorice made by the Licorice Guy. They have a
great selection of flavors to choose from, like red, blue, raspberry, black,
and green apple, just to name a few. The freshness
of a licorice will blow your mind. Seriously. If you
(16:03):
haven't tried licorice from the Licorice Guy, then do yourself
a favor and give it a try. Trust me, you

We need the support. It's hard to put together a
storytelling show of this nature. I cannot believe after what now,
how many years have we been doing this now? Six
plus years.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Six hundred and fifty nine years, a lot of years.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
And of course this is not our storytelling show. This
is fam Boogie.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
This is our top trail show.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
But the documentary series is so I'm so surprised that
there hasn't been a sea of other people to come
out in because.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
That's how hard it is to do. But you know
what I have to say, I love doing it and
I'm loving this series. And you know, part of the
thing that really helps us when we have backstage subscribers.
Is it gives us more flexibility to be able to
take our time with these series and really get it
right and do a good job. And this series in particular,
(17:49):
What's an American has been so much research has gone
into it. Yeah, but I'm loving it. The new one
it will be out you guys on Monday, ready to
go this week.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It's ready to go.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
But we want to be consistent with putting up the
new episodes on Mondays and doing the fan boogies on Friday.
So this is part one a fan boogie.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yes, all right, So let's talk a little bit about
this Mike Waltz thing. Because the thing that I really
grabbed on this, and this is kind of something I
wanted to share with everybody, was everyone's always asking like
who do we trust? Who should we be listening to?
Who should we trust? The thing that I like about
this Mike Waltz story is it highlights somebody that I
(18:33):
think has really I've gained respect for as a reporter.
And will get into that in a second. But this
Mike Waltz guy, for those of you guys that don't
know he was the guy, he's the National Security Advisor
for President Trump, and the big thing that happened with
(18:54):
him happened a couple maybe about a month or so
ago that he somehow was in communication with the Trump
team through this communication software called Signal and apparently they
were talking about an attack it's somewhere in the Middle East.
And added to the Signal chat was a reporter from
(19:17):
the Atlantic and who's a huge Trump hater. And so
this reporter sees this communication happening and ends up doing
a story on it, and it was kind of this
national security story of look at how poorly this White
House is running things because now you have a Trump
(19:39):
hater added to the chat on this. It was ended
up after some time there. Mike Waltz ended up being
the person that most thought added him to this on accident.
And so then the story started to go well as
Mike Waltz leaking to this reporter at the Atlantic because
of the fact that he had his contact and was
(20:00):
added to this on accident, and there had been and
some stories that have kind of been leaked to the
Atlantic before in the past, and so and.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Also more people kind of don't a lot of people
feel like he's part of the swamp.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yes, he's kind of part of the war with Iran
swamp and so that story was signal gate.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And by the way, in fairness, if that would have happened,
you know, if the other side would have done done that,
we would have ran with it as well. You know,
I feel like it was it may have been an
honest mistake, but it was fair game. It was a mistake, nonetheless.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
But the main fact that somebody had this huge Trump
haters contact on their phone and added him to this,
the fact that they even had that contact is kind
of a little bit troubling. I mean, like, I mean,
this was the guy, the reporter at The Atlantic that
came out with this whole Trump praised hitler story leading
(20:56):
up to the election of twenty twenty four and that
he wanted the people within his cabinet to be more
like like the Nazis kind of looking up to Hitler.
That kind of a thing, Okay, But is his administration
having this contact person's number in their phone for these
kinds of situations?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
All right? I don't know the answer to that. But
you know, there is a saying keep your friends closer,
keep your enemies closer. So we don't really know why
you had the contact but agreed it feels problematic exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And that writer's name was Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief
over at The Atlantic. So now the news comes out
that he's out and apparently he's you know, the media
is giddy because now they have a scalp. I don't
think it's their first scalp. I think the first scalp
was what's his name from Gates from Florida. The fact
(21:46):
that he was never even went through the confirmation process. Yes,
I think for the Attorney General, I think that that
was the media's first scalp. But they're trying to lean
on this as potentially his first scalp, and so the
media is all giddy about it. Look at the chaos
that's happening here. You had somebody, a spokesperson for one
of Trump's departments, didn't know that this person was given
(22:11):
the he ho, Mike Walts was given the he ho,
and so it looked kind of chaotic for a second. Well,
it turns out he's been reassigned to be the UN ambassador,
which apparently is kind of a very ceremonial kind of positions.
I think it comes with a lot of benefits in
that kind of thing. So he's moving over to there.
But the thing that I thought that was really interesting
(22:32):
about this is the person who broke it, which is
Mark Halprinth, and we've spoken about him several times on
the show. He's even made an appearance in Which Way
America for his reporting Mike, excuse me. Mark Halprin used
to be at MSNBC. He's been a reporter around for many,
(22:53):
many years, and during this twenty twenty four election, he
ended up getting me twoed at one point. I think
it seemed to be very unf and he ended up
taking hiatus for a while. Then he came out again
with this two Way app that's out there, and the
two Way app is or the two Way kind of platform.
(23:15):
It's pretty interesting. He speaks to regular people and then
he also has several kind of political people in Washington, DC.
Is part of.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
The panel, and he is now part of the Megan
Kelly's Network exactly.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
He recently jumped on board with Megan Kelly. But he
was the guy that first started talking about this on
Thursday morning before the news had broke, and then once
again the news comes out and he ends up being right.
He was also the guy that broke the Joe Biden
was going to be stepping down story days in advance.
(23:51):
He was the one that kind of broke all the
polling issues that the Democrats were having. The polls were
coming out saying that Harris was winning, Kamala Harris is winning.
Turns out that that was a bunch of hogwash that
he ended up being proven right on that, and the
aftermath and the kind the post mortem of the election,
you had all these Democrats coming forward saying, yeah, she
(24:12):
was never head in the polls, and so he was
proven right then. Now he's being proven as a great reporter,
at least having great sources in Washington, d C. Because
he's the one that broke this Mike Waltz story. And
I don't know there's something about that that I just
wanted to point out to people that there are journalists
(24:32):
out there that I think he's pretty straight up. I
don't think he necessarily is a Trump voter or is
anti Trump. I think he's just one of those guys
that's been in Washington, DC, knows the game, has been
watching this game for some time, hasn't chosen a side. Really,
He's found his niche, which is basically kind of you know,
(24:54):
poking or telling the truth when the legacy media won't
and he has the legacy media credentials to do it.
I just I really love his reporting and he's a
guy that I turned to on a regular basis, and
we constantly talk about that, Who do we trust? Who
do we trust? It's hard to trust people in the
media because at some point everybody has a weak spot,
(25:16):
you know, in the kind of in a certain kind
of story genre that they kind of have a bias
that they just can't get around. But he doesn't seem
to have that yet. I haven't sat found it yet.
Bias mine is, Yeah, I'm going to keep that to myself. Okay,
(25:38):
you keep your KEYK comments to yourself. You can have
all the thoughts in your head that you want about thoughts.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's not like a bad thoughts again.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
K k Hernandez is the Dodger that ends up playing
pretty much every position on the Dodgers. He's number eight,
as she knows his number.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You guys want to know that. But yeah, you know what,
it's hard to find good reporters that you can trust.
And Mark Halpern is definitely one of those guys that
we trust. And I value I appreciate his style.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yes, he is just a straight shooter. You know, I
saw recently what's his name, what's the guy from Project Veritas?
His name again, James o'keef. James O'Keefe, Thank you. James
has some big story that he's going to be telling,
and he has this theatrical way of telling, you know,
promoting his stories, and so he video takes himself recently
(26:32):
saying I'm not suicidal. I'm not suicidal, but I have
to take a break because of this story that I'm
working on. It I'm going to basically be announcing to
you guys soon. And I'm just watching that. I'm just like,
oh god, it's like a theater, so theatrical, and he's
good at that kind of a thing. I guess he's
good at kind of getting eyeballs on his stories. Mark Halprin.
(26:53):
I have a hard time when somebody is theatrical like
that of kind of trusting the.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Work, taking them seriously.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yes, there's a guy like Mark Halprin who is just
a straight shooter. And sometimes he'll say some things you
don't want to hear, but it is, he says, just
a straight, straight shooter. And I think we should be
celebrating journalists like that, not the ones that are just
constantly telling us what we want to hear about Trump
(27:19):
or telling the left what they want to hear about
the Democrats. You need to find those guys and then
kind of, you know, listen to them as much as
you can, even at the hard times when you don't
want to hear the news that they have to deliver
to you.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay, I'm going to name off some reporters on the right,
and then you're going to give them a ranking. Okay, Okay,
you're gonna tell me so. One being you don't trust
them at all, you don't think people should listen to them.
Five being they're solid Okay, Okay, Okay, timpoole.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I would say Tim is in the three range.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
What yeah, Okay, Now I'm going to give him a one. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
No, I think he's good on some stuff. He's actually
there's been some things where when he talks about the
Israel kind of mania that's been growing on the right.
He was the guy that first opened my eyes to
the fact that the United States. Well but yeah, but
you're saying, and I want I want to give a
reason why he was the guy that first kind of
(28:21):
opened my eyes to the United States actually being the
ones that use Israel as a tool a lot of
the times, and so you can't put all the blame
on Israel for a lot of these situations. He's opened
my eyes to that. There's times where he does some
good reporting, and there's times where when he makes mistakes
he doesn't correct.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
That's my problem. That's for me, that's not forgivable. I
can't get past that. That's why I'm down to a one. Okay, Okay,
I'm not really uh, I'm a black or white. Yeah,
there's no real gray for me. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Megan Kelly, Megan Kelly, I would give her a four.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, me too, me too. Let's see who else? Can
I ask you about? Mike Cernovich?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I would give Mike a five. And this is why
I would give Micah five. He's been great to the show.
He I feel like he says things that a lot
of times people don't want to hear. That doesn't necessarily
help grow his audience, but he says them anyways. I've
noticed that he can play, he can see both sides
of controversial issues. There's the bomb bass that's there at times,
(29:25):
he's been so great to the show that there's my week.
There's one of my weaknesses when somebody is good to
the show.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
He's not really a reporter.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
No, he's not really. You know, he's a commentator and
he's done, he's done some stories that that.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
That realm is so wide. Now do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Everybody's a reporter.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yes, exactly, exactly, Okay, Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I love Jesse me too.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I'm going to give him a five. No one's asking me,
but I'm going to give Jesse Kelly a five.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Guys, but you're talking more like this is kind. He's
more of a political commentator as as opposed to a
reporter like Mark Halprin. They do two completely.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Different you do That's what This is a wide spec
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
But but I enjoyed fun little ahead people.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I just want to know what you think. Okay, we
want to know, inquiring mindes want to know. That's all
I got forre you. We're done.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
You don't get anything else, Okay, okay, let me give
you a couple. How about Benny Johnson zero. He's definitely
a one for me. I feel like he's a great.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
He's great at social media.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
He's a great social media guy. He's a good content creator.
But I cannot tell you how many times he's put
stuff out that have been completely false. You know what
it is.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
He's a clickbait guy. Yeah, that's what he is.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
And I would throw DC Draino in that world as
well too.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I think they don't really fit well into this this game.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
But the but here's the those kinds of people view
those guys as new sources. I have close friends that
have viewed some of the people that you've just mentioned
that we would throw in the one or zero rain
as news sources. Let's do this with more like who else?
I like this story, I liked it. I like this game.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Who I thought Adriana Cortez.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Adriana is a solid six. Okay, you're a solid six.
Oud Tucker Tucker, I would put in the Yeah. I
put Tucker in the four. I put Tucker in four. Yeah,
he's I think that he has a he I don't
like what he was doing with the with the Andrew
Tate stuff. I think you're right, there's some there's some
stuff in that area. I think that he is an
(31:36):
incredible if if you want to just say, entertainment entertainment side,
I think he's a ten. You know, he goes way
off the Richter scale as far as that goes. I'd
love his style.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
He brought back the bow tie, I'd go to a
foreign four and a half.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Okay, Yeah, the bow tie was where it was at.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Okay with that, I think that that is I think
we've made enough enemies in that segment.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
We are the friend list and I have clearly I'd
like to keep it that way.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Hey, if you if this is something you guys want
us to go, we will go down the line on this. Okay,
give us the names and we will give you our
opinion on them. The truth, the truth.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
You know, nothing but the truth. Yes, nothing but the
truth to our detriment. By the way, but there are
so many people we love. We love you guys.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That wraps up part one. We're going to go into
part two, so join us over there. We're gonna be
talking about this day story that kind of explains the
nuttiness that we've been seeing with him over the last year. Also,
there's another race war story that is blowing up online
right now that is kind of showing where things are
(32:42):
going into this summer. Finally, we're going to get into
this meme about one hundred men fighting one gorilla. Let's
get into it in part two. Join us two,
