le procreation model. Now how much, how seriously should you take this? Here's how seriously. Remember I told you there are only two things you can know. The first thing you can know is that you exist because you're noodling with the question of who you are. So there's something that exists. You just don't know what that is. The second thing that you can know is that it's your impression that som…

If it's true that Trump was asking who he was and asked him directly if he represented the extreme part of the party, you can see that Trump was working through it and they didn't know exactly who he was. So I believe that. I believe he didn't know.
Now do you think that Trump handled it well from your perspective by saying he didn't know who he was so therefore it's not exactly a big crime or a big foul? It was just dinner. Do you think so from the perspective of Trump's base? Did he explain it sufficiently? I think so. From the perspective of a voter that's kind of all you needed to know, wasn't it? He wasn't invited. Trump trusted Yay. Trump trusted a black man, which unfortunately is part of the story, right? So the whole story is that Trump trusted the black guy and that didn't work out for him. Am I right? That's one way. Is that not an accurate interpretation? Trump's problem was he trusted a black guy and he got screwed. Am I wrong?
Now I don't think it's fair to call Kanye a black guy because you sort of, he sort of transcended race in a lot of ways. But you could easily spin it that way. To me it looks like a black guy screwed Trump. And I like Yay by the way. But it looks like he did that intentionally. Can't tell. I can't read his mind but it looks intentional. I mean from the outside how's that look? So it looks like a black guy took Trump out or tried to. And Trump's just brushing it off because now do you think people just forget this story in two weeks so it doesn't really matter? The base will. Yeah the base will forget it in a day. But here's what you're forgetting. You're missing the biggest part of the story. The biggest part of the story is it doesn't matter what Trump's base thinks. It always did but it doesn't now. Do you know why? Do you know why it doesn't matter what the base thinks of Trump? Because the media already left him. So Breitbart went at him hard. I don't know if you noticed but Breitbart didn't pull any punches. It's just Trump had dinner with a Holocaust denier and a famous anti-Semite according to Breitbart, right? Fox News is shutting Trump out. So Fox News will not support him, which means other Rupert Murdoch assets will not support him. And now Breitbart is gone. Breitbart isn't coming back from that. Like they're not going to call him anti-Semitic and then change their minds. I don't see that happening.
Do you believe Trump could win without Fox News and without Breitbart? Yes or no? Trump could win without Breitbart and without Fox News. Mostly yeses. Yet there is a path. There is a path and the path would look like podcasts only. So if Trump just said he won't do any interviews with the major media and said I'll just do all the podcasts. Because if you say to yourself but wait nobody's going to watch the podcast because they're like low volume, no they're not. The podcasts are much bigger than the network news. And anything that Trump does that's an interesting interview will have greater traffic than ABC News. You don't think I could get more traffic for a Trump interview? Like if I personally interviewed him on a podcast you don't think I would get more clicks than ABC News would get on the story about Trump? I would. Yeah I would get more attention than ABC News just telling a story about him. So he does have a path and there would be plenty of podcasters who would want to benefit from the traffic so they do it. He could start his own network. He could start his own network, you know, just a channel on YouTube and or Rumble I guess. And you can just interview other people.
Imagine Trump running for office. Just imagine this. Imagine Trump running for office but he doesn't do any interviews. He only interviews other people and that's his campaign. Think about it. He doesn't do interviews. He only interviews experts and Democrats who disagree with him and that's it. And maybe some RINOs who disagree with him. Can you imagine how much you would like to watch Trump interview his critics? Seriously, could you avoid watching that? Oh my God. Oh my God. Like it would be so watchable. It would just blow everything else out of the water.
And as soon as you heard, and by the way here's a little trick, a little trick for you for publicity. This is the most important trick for

getting publicity. Nobody cares that you did something well. You can't get publicity because you did something really well. I did a good job, right? Unless it's like extraordinary. Here's how you get publicity. You do something that other people have been doing forever but you do it a different way that looks like it could work. That's what Trump could do. You could say well the first time I ran f…
