Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everybody, and welcome to Everything's Political. I'm your host,
Tayas Shoemake. You can also find us online at Everything's
Political dot substack dot com. Shout out too, Magicman, Joe Strecker,
the Rocky Bell Bowl of podcast Producers. On this day,
(00:24):
in nineteen seventy six, the film, the epic film Rocky
was released in New York City and went on the
next year to win Best Picture that no one thought
it would And it is just a testament to Sylvester
Stallone's grit, tenacity and perseverance. So there you go, Joe,
(00:49):
A lot in common with Rocky, a lot in common
with Sylvester Stallone.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's a good day, same as.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
And speaking of Rocky Balboa, we have with us today
the hard hitting CEO of KUBILISPR and author of The
Woking Dead and most recently the White Privileged album, Aj
Rice Aj.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Welcome, Hey, great to be back right. We're not you
and I I thought we were going to be in
the Gulab. I guess we survived for another four years.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Indeed, and that's that's what did I wanted to start
to talk to you about today. You know you are
an og of calling out the absurd right. You've literally
propped up the movement for the last however long with
your business and your books. Got to know how you
felt on election mat.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh, it was. It was glorious. I wasn't as shocked
as I was in twenty sixteen, especially with Pennsylvania because
I'm from Philadelphia, as you can hear, and we always
called Pennsylvania fool's goal. But it was the keystone, not
only at three in the morning against Hillary, but at
two in the morning against Kamala. So Kamala's an hour,
(02:18):
an hour earlier and an hour less likable than the
most unlikable woman in a hundred years, right, Hillary Clinton.
So so no, it was sweet sweet vengeance. Look Publius
pr and its earliest iteration, which was Publius Productions, essentially
Publius Media. I've been doing this for twenty years and
(02:41):
it's a small group. It's a small band that have
been around not only for the last twenty years, but
there's people that have been around, you know, since Nixon
and Reagan in the eighties, so new Gingri's revolution. Look,
Trump was able to do something that no one, I
think the media was shocked. He made the Republican Party,
(03:05):
more working class, more multi ethnic. You know, for all
this talk about the great Reset, and all the books
World Economic Forum and advisors doing this, and dominion voting
systems are doing that. Four phony indictments and two phony
impeachments and two assassins for all of that, they talk
(03:27):
about the great reset, wokeism, globalism, which I make fun
of in my books. Well, they got a great reset,
not the one they we're looking for, not the one
they we're looking for. But guess what you got one
Trump just reset the entire board and the Republicans now
control every branch of government and have a super majority
(03:48):
on the Supreme Court. So you know, I just have
to say to my liberal friends, you're welcome. You're welcome, sincerely,
Publius pr You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Indeed, it's you know, be careful what you ask for.
You just get it in a different way, yes, exactly.
Now with clear mandate, even I was shocked, and I've
been around a long time as well. I was shocked
at the clear mandate, not necessarily because I didn't think
it should go that way, but because of you know,
shenanigans that might go on on the other side. But
(04:18):
with this clear mandate. One of the things I love
about President Trump is that he seems to know that
winning is a present progressive verb. Right, It's an ongoing
habitual action. You have to keep winning. I'm hoping we
see more of that this time. I think the appointments
are showing that that is indeed the case. What are
your thoughts on that?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Absolutely? I mean, he look, this is a three act play.
The bad guys usually win in the second act, and
they did in twenty twenty. So this is the greatest
political comeback ever in anything of all time. This is
(05:00):
in Grover Cleveland. This is something bigger because Trump is
not just a political figure, He's a cultural figure. I
got UFC fighters doing his dance, right, I've got some
of the worst people in the in the country leaving
the country, you know. So you mean to tell me
that liberals are gonna stop having sex and all the
(05:23):
illegal aliens are gonna leave. I mean, I mean, that's
a that's a two scoops of ice cream for me.
Come on, that's right. So, So here's the thing. If
Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator and Ronald Reagan was
the great communicator, Trump is the Great Disruptor. He has
(05:45):
this right. So that's what I mean by the Great reset.
You got one. You got one from him and RFK Junior. Yeah,
it's interesting. They're like King Arthur and Lancelot, and it's
it's an amazing thing to watch because what you're gonna
get now from the Great Disruptor is you're gonna get
(06:05):
a cabinet of disruptors. Everyone that's being picked is being
sent I just saw they're gonna gonna send Matt Whittaker,
the former acting a g to be the ambassador to NATO.
Everyone that's being picked is being picked for a very
specific reason, and that is to go into these departments
(06:28):
the fish rots from the head and to capitate these
departments and disrupt these departments. Not just be the head
of the departments, but go ten layers down. Bunker Buster.
They're there. They're being sent in to be bunker busters. Right.
You gotta you gotta parking garage full of cooks and
(06:49):
deep staters, well underground. So whether it's an education or
transportation HHS, the Pentagon, wherever the hell it is, that's
why he's sending them up there. Okay, and look, you
know Trump loves a spectacle. And you know, he's like
Francis Ford Coppola casting, casting the movie that you're all
(07:12):
gonna watch for the next four years. So they can't
just be disruptors. They have to be brilliant, funny, likable.
Dare I say, nice to look at? That's what Trump does, right,
He loves the spectacle. Right. People people talk about drama
and tragedy, and there's you know, there's a formula uh
(07:35):
in the liberal arts community for uh for drama. Uh.
It comes from Aristotle and sort of the six rules
for drama. Well, the sixth one, the one that everyone forgets,
is spectacle. You know, it's become kind of a pejorative, like,
don't make a spectacle of yourself. No no, no, no, no, no,
(07:56):
no mega spectacle, right, mega spectacle yourself. I mean I'm
not look I run what could be argued as the
number one conservative pr firm in America. But I don't
act like a Buddhist monk. I don't act like a
Belgium monk. I act like Bobby Knight meets Ari Golds
(08:16):
from Entourage. I mean, I am in the game, I
am in the arena. One of the reasons I've got everyone.
One of the reasons Publius pr is the center of
the Maga cinematic universe is because I'm a spectacle too, right,
So when you go through this cabinet, THEA asked for it.
(08:38):
So Pete head saith. Secretary of Defense is ours. Chelsea
Gabbard d and I is ours. Michael Waltz, National Security
Advisor is ours. The veck who's gonna run this thing
with with Elon where they're just gonna get the the
hedge trimmers out, hopefully they get the backo out. Department
of Government Efficiency, I guess Department of Government Viveka is ours.
(09:02):
We worked on his campaign. He's like the only one
we worked directly with his campaign. RFK Junior is ours.
And you know, if you you look even in the
White House, Sergio Gore, who's a dear friend of ours
twenty years, gonna run the White House Office of Personnel
Presidential Personnel. And then you know, Peter Navarro is probably
(09:24):
gonna go back in Monica. Crowley may go back in.
I hear Scott Bessen's name getting kicked around for Treasury secretary.
He you know, he owns All Seasons Press, which is
our client, which does Naomi Wolf's book, and you know,
Jennifer Say's book, and we did the Tucker Carlson biography.
So the look it's it's not just Trump's cabinet, it's
(09:46):
pooply his PR's cabinet too. I mean, we you know,
I dare I say I am the Kevin Bacon of
of the of the Maha and Maga universe. Here we're
okay doing that. I like Kevin a little too liberal
for me, but he's from Philadelphia. Although I'm a better dancer, I.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Have to say, well that the bar is low.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I think, well, you know, he did do flash dance,
so there is that that's true.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Okay, So you mentioned the man in the Arena because
that that has been going through my mind. And when
people ask me about the election, and you know, about
the clear choice that was before everyone. You know, I
always go to that quote. I always go to the
credit belongs or man in there whatever, that Theodore Roosevelt
piece sure is referred to. And you know, there is
(10:41):
a there's a there's a responsibility from the electorate. This
is why I love your books, this is why I
love the You're a spectacle, and I love that you
are in the arena, because when I listen to you,
I'm not apprehensive. I know what I believe, and I
know why our audience does too. But they may not
have the same level of comfort. They just might have
(11:03):
different personalities. Sure, what is the best thing other than
remain engaged. That's that's my number one and have realistic
expectations for the electorate to do.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
At this point, well, look, the electorate, at least the
Republican electorate has changed. And you know, we were able
to discard the dorks at the Chamber of Commerce and
bring in totally different sort of multi ethnic, working class coalition.
And look Trump, if Trump was, you know, the general
(11:40):
manager of a baseball team, right, I don't care whether
it's the Yankees or the Reds of the Cleveland Indians
or whatever the hell they're called now, the Cleveland what
they're called the Cleveland Elizabeth Warrens, I think, all right,
I still call them the Indians. Yeah. So, I mean
he was able to make a trade and send basically
guard like Liz Cheney and Bill Crystal and the never
(12:03):
Trumpers and Adam Kinsinger and the Romneys and the McCain's
and the heroes that were captured and the heroes that
weren't captured. Uh said, he traded all of them, and
he got in return Elon, RFK, Junior, Tulsa and Naomi Wolf. Now,
if he was the New York Yankees ripping off the
Oakland A's or the the you know, Tampa Bay Rays
or something, I mean, ripping off some third tier small
(12:26):
market team, that's what he just did. I will do
that trade any day of the week. So now we've
got this coalition of new people that have never been
engaged like this. They have never been engaged because they
you know, because and now they are because of RFK
or Tulsi or Joe Rogan or Elon or whoever the
(12:48):
hell it is. And we have a responsibility. Trump is
a unique historical figure for all time, then for all time,
and you know, the Republican Party in particular needs to
look at the fact that there's way less John Thuns
(13:09):
in the Republican Party. So be very careful here. And
I think Vance knows this, so I'm glad he's there.
And it sounds like Vance was, you know, top of
the food chain at least in the minds of Elon
and some of the tech bros. For sure. But also
Tucker Carlson and Don Junior and and even even people
(13:33):
like Steve Bennon and maybe even Alex Jones. I don't know,
but you know he's the hill billy ninja and you
saw him at Quit himself against Tampon Tim. So you know,
I think I think we we could, you know, move
this coalition to vance. You know, I believe that that
(13:54):
is doable. But do not take this, you know, for granted.
And my book, you know, the subtitle is bringing racial
harmony to very fine people on both sides. And I
know there are millions of very fine people in this
audience watching right now. And I will just say that
if anybody could bring racial harmony, and obviously I'm being
(14:16):
a smart ass with a patrol with the title, but
Trump just, I mean, you would talk about getting the
Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan to vote exactly the same as
the Jews in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I mean, Trump
just did that, mister Abraham Accords just did that for you, okay.
(14:36):
And there was two blue walls. There wasn't just the
one blue wall that you know, the stiffs on TV
were talking about the Michigan Wisconsin Pennsylvania blue Wall. There
was another blue wall that fell on election Day, and
that blue wall was a blue wall that went from Brownsville,
Texas to El Patso these were Democrat counties boom boom
(15:00):
boom boom boom boom boom, all along the Texas Mexico border.
And they were the jumping off point in the minds
of the wacky left of how they were gonna flip
Texas blue. Right, because now like every six years, Ted
Cruz is gonna lose if vato o, roar, schmuck face,
(15:25):
this guy schmuck face that he just beat. It's a
fantasy because if you look at that other blue wall,
not exactly filled with Scandinavians, is it now turns out
Hispanic Americans want to be Texans too. They want to
(15:45):
be Americans too. And it may be a bunch of
people that are mostly Catholic, that never get divorced, that
have a thousand children and probably just escaped some Marxist
dump or some authoritarian dump, or some cartel dump or
(16:05):
some CCP Belton Road financed dump. Maybe they like what
Donald Trump had to say about the American dream. So
that's the second blue wall. So you know, we talk
about bringing racial harmony. Who did Kamala Harris have She
(16:26):
had Raggedy Ann the Redhead on MSNBC. She had never
Trumpers the most up tight white people that live in
the whitest liberal neighborhoods in the United States, mostly coastal,
looking down their nose at everyone else. Everyone's a racist.
(16:47):
But then you know they've got the thea, they got
the yard signed right in this house, we do seventy
five booster shots in this house. I wear Doctor Fauci's
underwear on my head. In this house, we you know,
I heart Hamas and you know, go hug a hug
(17:07):
a transmidget, whatever the hell it is right that, you know,
that's who they got. That's their constituency now, and trump
Zilla squashed it.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
And you have to wonder the elites of their party
AJ Are they just mental? Did they underestimate? Do they
just surround themselves with themselves because this was a clear mandate?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yes, Look, this couldn't have been any more of a win.
They only live with each other, they only talk to
each other. Some of these people like Bill Maherin know yeah, day,
I don't know whether Joe and Nika know. I don't
know whether Comcast said you better get down there are
you're done, But certain people kind of know, people that
(17:55):
have been through enough of this. And look, Joe and
Nika should know. I mean, Nika's fine was you know,
Jimmy Carter's failed national security advisor. I believe you know,
he's the reason Reagan won because they couldn't figure out
how to get the hostages away from the mulas. So look,
some there are some Democrats, old school that have been
(18:18):
through enough of this. That's kind of why you're not
seeing a lot of sort of left wing craziness. Yet
the crones on the view, they're gonna be the crones
on the view, right. You know, you know, if you're
a housewife watching right now and you wake up every
day and you're full in your laundry and you think
that what the view are saying is some kind is real,
(18:40):
or that there's some majority of opinion there coming out
of coming out of those hags, then you know, you know,
I can't help you. But for the most part, the
view has become just like the late night supposed comics
have become. These are ideologues, These are hacks, right, These
are supposed to be entertainment mediums. You know, if Barbara
(19:02):
was alive, I don't think she'd be liking a lot
of what goes on, you know, on a daily basis.
Apparently they're now looking for some sort of pro Trump
female Like I.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Said, I heard that right, Like, who would sign up
for that?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, you know, to go in there and take batting
practice with a bunch of losers. I mean, look, you know,
maybe I should apply to it. Since genders, you know,
since they're seventy two, they're saying two genders. Let me
go in there and give Joy bay or a aircut.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You've got my vote. You've got my vote.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Okay, A J.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I know you're short on time today. I really appreciate
you coming the White Privilege album before we leave. Give
folks just a snippet, not a just a little tease.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Sure, so look what I did with this book with
an apology to the Beatles, not to Yoko though, get
hell with her. Will you hear this term wh privilege,
or if you hear the patriarchy, or if you hear
toxic masculinity and all the rest of this. This is
a very small portion of the left that does have
power and money. Basically, attacking your culture, to attacking Western
(20:13):
civilization in particular, and also attacking the middle class and
attacking the nuclear family. So those are the three things
that I say here at the top of the back
of the book that I'm defending with humor in this book. Now,
this is a direct sequel to The Woking Dead. This
is Bublius Pro's Volume two. The Woking Dead Volume one
(20:36):
just came out in paperback to great price. You can
get that and this. You know, we're going to have
a White Privilege album Christmas, and a White Privilege Alamonica.
And if you go to chapter twelve of this book,
because look, there's twelve chapters in this book, and I
call them the twelve Months of Privilege. Goes from January
(20:56):
to December. In December, we talk about Kwansa, talk about
Clark Griswold, we talk about Santa Claus a little bit.
But it's a fun book and you can, you know,
just like The Woking Dead. And as you can tell
by the way I talk, I write the way I talk,
So you know, I'm dunking on people with pleasure, which is,
(21:18):
you know, my favorite pastime. But also there are sections
of the book where I highlight historical moments, some in politics,
some in sports, some in the culture, where certain individuals
risked blood, treasure and reputation to bend the arc of progress,
(21:38):
as the left likes to say, towards justice. And what
I try to do with these books is bend the
arc of progress away from wokeism, political correctness, and cancel culture.
I thought I was going to be writing Volume three,
which I'm working on now, from the Gulag, and at
least for now I'm safe. Maybe it'll be volume Volume
(22:02):
four or five that I do in the Gulag, And well,
that's a little tease for down the line. I'm trying
to set myself up here as the anti woe Harry Potter.
So look, holidays are coming up, go get yourself a copy.
It's available at Amazon, Books a Million, Barnes and Noble.
And if you've got a blue haired niece or nephew
(22:23):
that you know doesn't know what gender they are, get
them a couple of copies of the book. Because I'm
a millennial, I write these, I guess for a younger audience,
although some of my references, like you know, Johnny Carson
and Jackie Robinson writing for writing for the boomers and
the gen xers. There you go.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Well, you are indeed an old soul. That's why you're
our favorite millennial. And I can't think of a better environment.
Now moving forward, to give that book to absolutely anyone
and everyone. So so we'll encourage our audience. We'll link
to it on the website. Aj Rice, thank you so much.
Hope to hear you next time, preferably not from the gulag.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
That's right. Look, look you have a good holiday season,
and you know, we appreciate you and everything you're doing
out there for freedom, for medical freedom, and this show
and this audience has a bunch of patriots in it.
We appreciate you putting Publius PR's people on. You know,
let's enjoy this a little bit. But just remember that
the Wolkester's the woking Dead. They're like turn bites. They're
(23:25):
going to burrow in for a little bit, but they
will they will spring forth when you least expect it.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Amen, I hear you, all right, aj have a great
day and godspeed. Okay everyone, aj Rice again the White
Privilege album, and highly encourage you all to get that.
I am going to get a few copies for family
and friends. Man, it is always refreshing to speak with AJ.
(23:50):
If I could just get a little bit of his energy. Man,
I'm good for the long haul, you.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Know, Stellia, I'm too bad.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
We got to get it, indeed, Joe, indeed, Okay, everyone,
I want to thank you for listening. Thank always, magic Man,
Joe Strecker. Until next time, who will stand at either
hand and keep the bridge with me? Have a great day.
