JORDAN KLEPPER: While covering
Donald Trump's 2024 campaign,
2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Downloaded from
YTS.MX
3
00:00:04,448 --> 00:00:06,517
I started to notice
all sorts of new people
4
00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:08,586
coming into the MAGA tent.
5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX
6
00:00:08,689 --> 00:00:11,275
But what baffled me
most was the kids.
7
00:00:11,379 --> 00:00:13,241
REPORTER: Trump, cutting
deeply into first time
8
00:00:13,344 --> 00:00:14,758
voters and the youth vote.
9
00:00:14,862 --> 00:00:16,274
This could be a
political earthquake.
10
00:00:16,379 --> 00:00:18,827
MAJOR GARRETT: Trump credits a
wave of Republican podcasters,
11
00:00:18,931 --> 00:00:21,827
social media influencers
for the support that grew
12
00:00:21,931 --> 00:00:23,655
for him in the 2024 election.
13
00:00:23,758 --> 00:00:26,275
Gen Z has turned right.
14
00:00:26,379 --> 00:00:27,379
JORDAN KLEPPER:
So is it actually
15
00:00:27,482 --> 00:00:29,793
hip to be Republican now?
16
00:00:29,896 --> 00:00:31,000
It's definitely a vibe.
17
00:00:31,103 --> 00:00:32,551
There's a lot of
MAGA energy here?
18
00:00:32,655 --> 00:00:33,517
- Yes, a lot.
- Yes, there is.
19
00:00:33,620 --> 00:00:34,689
Yeah?
20
00:00:34,793 --> 00:00:36,103
We want to make a
change for our generation.
21
00:00:36,206 --> 00:00:40,241
We don't want any more of
the left wing radical ideas.
22
00:00:40,344 --> 00:00:41,551
We want none of that.
23
00:00:41,655 --> 00:00:43,655
What's the vibe like right
now with young Republicans?
24
00:00:43,758 --> 00:00:45,827
Oh, we are
feeling victorious.
25
00:00:45,931 --> 00:00:47,517
I think it's going to go
down in the history books.
26
00:00:47,620 --> 00:00:49,448
It's going to be up there
with like the fall of Rome?
27
00:00:49,551 --> 00:00:50,896
Maybe.
28
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,241
You know, us, guys, we do like
talking about the Roman Empire.
29
00:00:52,344 --> 00:00:53,310
Love talking about the
Roman-- and like doing
30
00:00:53,413 --> 00:00:54,655
the salute too, apparently.
- Oh!
31
00:00:54,758 --> 00:00:56,310
Oh, Jesus.
32
00:00:56,413 --> 00:00:58,724
JORDAN KLEPPER: But are they
true MAGA believers or is
33
00:00:58,827 --> 00:01:00,931
this just a rebellious phase?
34
00:01:01,034 --> 00:01:03,034
To find out, I'm ditching
the Trump rallies
35
00:01:03,137 --> 00:01:05,516
and meeting these young
Americans on their turf,
36
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:08,206
outside the quad,
outside the octagon,
37
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:11,137
and outside my comfort
zone on spring break.
38
00:01:11,241 --> 00:01:12,482
I know I'm ready.
39
00:01:12,586 --> 00:01:15,413
These kids are
going to love me.
40
00:01:15,517 --> 00:01:19,413
[theme music]
41
00:01:23,344 --> 00:01:25,551
First up, I'm
heading to Texas A&M,
42
00:01:25,655 --> 00:01:27,586
one of the largest
universities in the US
43
00:01:27,689 --> 00:01:29,724
with over 70,000 students.
44
00:01:29,827 --> 00:01:32,206
So what are the
issues pushing so many
45
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:33,655
young people to the right?
46
00:01:33,758 --> 00:01:37,000
I was very upset that
the last administration
47
00:01:37,103 --> 00:01:39,896
let so many illegal
immigrants into this country.
48
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,793
Whenever Biden got
in, everything went up,
49
00:01:42,896 --> 00:01:44,344
prices, gas, diesel.
50
00:01:44,448 --> 00:01:46,413
I drive diesel, and
diesel went up like crazy.
51
00:01:46,517 --> 00:01:47,448
Freedom of speech.
52
00:01:47,551 --> 00:01:49,137
Freedom for
everybody, especially
53
00:01:49,241 --> 00:01:50,793
for me and my
theology school, just
54
00:01:50,896 --> 00:01:53,241
being able to talk
about Christ more often.
55
00:01:53,344 --> 00:01:57,723
My dad was in the military,
and I really like military, so.
56
00:01:57,827 --> 00:01:59,689
And all of my friends are
going into it right now.
57
00:01:59,793 --> 00:02:00,965
You're of military age.
58
00:02:01,068 --> 00:02:02,344
Mm-hmm.
59
00:02:02,448 --> 00:02:04,896
What if Donald Trump called
you up to go invade Greenland?
60
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,724
Then I guess we're
invading Greenland.
61
00:02:06,827 --> 00:02:08,378
JORDAN KLEPPER: Clearly,
I need to better
62
00:02:08,482 --> 00:02:09,862
understand these kids.
63
00:02:09,965 --> 00:02:12,379
So much like when
I was in college,
64
00:02:12,482 --> 00:02:14,482
can somebody please
tell me what's cool?
65
00:02:14,586 --> 00:02:15,586
I'm out of touch.
66
00:02:15,689 --> 00:02:16,827
The last time I was
on a college campus,
67
00:02:16,931 --> 00:02:18,206
I was playing
GoldenEye in the dorm.
68
00:02:18,310 --> 00:02:19,413
- OK.
- Do you know GoldenEye?
69
00:02:19,517 --> 00:02:20,413
No, I don't know GoldenEye.
70
00:02:20,517 --> 00:02:23,827
Is being
conservative cool now?
71
00:02:23,931 --> 00:02:25,137
I wouldn't say it's cool.
72
00:02:25,241 --> 00:02:27,379
I feel like it's just the
right way to do things now.
73
00:02:27,482 --> 00:02:28,413
It's not cool?
74
00:02:28,517 --> 00:02:29,413
It's just morally superior?
75
00:02:29,517 --> 00:02:30,655
Oh, absolutely.
76
00:02:30,758 --> 00:02:31,896
Woke cool?
77
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,241
Pretty annoying, honestly.
78
00:02:33,344 --> 00:02:34,655
Boondock Saints?
79
00:02:34,758 --> 00:02:36,310
You guys still putting posters
up of the Boondock Saints?
80
00:02:36,413 --> 00:02:37,344
What?
81
00:02:37,448 --> 00:02:39,034
The Boondock Saints.
82
00:02:39,137 --> 00:02:40,034
America First, cool?
83
00:02:40,137 --> 00:02:41,034
Cool.
84
00:02:41,137 --> 00:02:42,137
I think America
First is cool.
85
00:02:42,241 --> 00:02:43,137
Absolutely.
86
00:02:43,241 --> 00:02:44,413
- Gulf of America.
- Cool.
87
00:02:44,517 --> 00:02:45,586
Gulf of America.
88
00:02:45,689 --> 00:02:46,930
Boondock Saints 2?
89
00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:48,482
What is-- no,
Wolf of Wall Street.
90
00:02:48,586 --> 00:02:50,103
- Wolf of Wall Street.
- Wolf of Wall Street is in.
91
00:02:50,206 --> 00:02:51,206
Always been in.
92
00:02:51,310 --> 00:02:53,067
Is it in because we
understand it's a satire
93
00:02:53,172 --> 00:02:55,034
or we just like the
financial crisis of it all?
94
00:02:55,137 --> 00:02:56,586
I think it's just how
much he actually, like,
95
00:02:56,689 --> 00:02:57,965
was able to get away with.
96
00:02:58,067 --> 00:02:59,620
So you see it as
a hero's journey?
97
00:02:59,724 --> 00:03:01,172
I think I see it as
a hero's journey, yeah.
98
00:03:01,275 --> 00:03:02,172
Good to know.
99
00:03:02,275 --> 00:03:03,413
JORDAN KLEPPER:
So there was a lot
100
00:03:03,517 --> 00:03:05,862
I could teach them
about American cinema,
101
00:03:05,965 --> 00:03:08,655
but who was there to engage
them on their broader concerns
102
00:03:08,758 --> 00:03:10,103
for the country?
103
00:03:10,206 --> 00:03:13,586
Well, today, it was the right
wing group, Turning Point USA,
104
00:03:13,689 --> 00:03:16,172
which claims to be the largest
and fastest growing youth
105
00:03:16,275 --> 00:03:18,000
organization in America.
106
00:03:18,103 --> 00:03:21,586
And people were pumped
to get free shit.
107
00:03:21,689 --> 00:03:23,137
- Did you get that hat here?
- Yes, sir.
108
00:03:23,241 --> 00:03:24,724
Charlie Kirk threw it to me.
- He starts to throw.
109
00:03:24,827 --> 00:03:25,896
Yeah, he throws 'em all out--
110
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
I told him to get on
my shoulders and be like,
111
00:03:27,103 --> 00:03:28,689
yo, go ask for one.
- Where'd you get it?
112
00:03:28,793 --> 00:03:30,241
I snagged it from
whoever was behind me.
113
00:03:30,344 --> 00:03:31,241
You stole it from somebody?
114
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:32,275
[chuckles]
115
00:03:32,379 --> 00:03:33,551
Boy is that the MAGA shit ever?
116
00:03:33,655 --> 00:03:35,758
There was a little kid
who was in the front row,
117
00:03:35,862 --> 00:03:37,551
and he was standing
there wanting a hat,
118
00:03:37,655 --> 00:03:39,930
and Charlie Kirk went
down and gave him a hat.
119
00:03:40,034 --> 00:03:41,448
Groom 'em when they're young?
[laughter]
120
00:03:41,551 --> 00:03:42,586
Right?
121
00:03:42,689 --> 00:03:44,379
It's funny, when I went
to college campuses,
122
00:03:44,482 --> 00:03:45,448
they would give
free hats to you
123
00:03:45,551 --> 00:03:47,241
to sign up for a
credit card, and then
124
00:03:47,344 --> 00:03:48,344
you get a cool free hat.
125
00:03:48,448 --> 00:03:50,103
And then 10 years later,
a lifetime of debt.
126
00:03:50,206 --> 00:03:51,103
Yes, sir.
[chuckles]
127
00:03:51,206 --> 00:03:52,413
Similar.
128
00:03:52,517 --> 00:03:54,413
JORDAN KLEPPER: So who is
this hat-tossing Pied Piper
129
00:03:54,517 --> 00:03:56,172
wooing kids to the right?
130
00:03:56,275 --> 00:03:58,275
MAGA darling, Charlie Kirk.
131
00:03:58,379 --> 00:03:59,379
I love Charlie Kirk.
132
00:03:59,482 --> 00:04:01,103
I listen to him just
about every single day.
133
00:04:01,206 --> 00:04:02,448
Everybody knows
who Charlie Kirk is.
134
00:04:02,551 --> 00:04:04,034
If they don't know the
name, they know the face.
135
00:04:04,137 --> 00:04:05,448
JORDAN KLEPPER: And
he's reaching millions
136
00:04:05,551 --> 00:04:07,137
with these pearls of wisdom.
137
00:04:07,241 --> 00:04:09,517
White college
indoctrinated women will
138
00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:11,206
ruin America if we let them.
139
00:04:11,310 --> 00:04:13,172
Most college degrees
are meaningless,
140
00:04:13,275 --> 00:04:15,620
and most of you guys are being
totally scammed by being here.
141
00:04:15,724 --> 00:04:18,757
I'm sorry, if I see a Black
pilot, I'm going to be like,
142
00:04:18,862 --> 00:04:20,034
boy, I hope he's qualified.
143
00:04:20,137 --> 00:04:21,862
What makes Charlie Kirk
so effective on a campus
144
00:04:21,964 --> 00:04:22,862
like this?
145
00:04:22,965 --> 00:04:24,758
I just think it's all the--
146
00:04:24,862 --> 00:04:27,172
the research he's done,
all the statistics
147
00:04:27,275 --> 00:04:28,413
that he has to back it up.
148
00:04:28,517 --> 00:04:29,862
I think he just
really knows his stuff.
149
00:04:29,965 --> 00:04:31,344
- The guy is consistent?
- He's consistent.
150
00:04:31,448 --> 00:04:32,862
He's like, TikTok.
I love TikTok.
151
00:04:32,965 --> 00:04:34,413
Three months ago,
I hate TikTok.
152
00:04:34,517 --> 00:04:35,551
[chuckling]
153
00:04:35,655 --> 00:04:37,482
So his consistency can
flip here and there.
154
00:04:37,586 --> 00:04:39,241
JORDAN KLEPPER: But even if
Charlie Kirk doesn't seem
155
00:04:39,344 --> 00:04:41,620
to believe the things he
says, for some students,
156
00:04:41,724 --> 00:04:44,000
he was the only one
speaking to their concerns.
157
00:04:44,103 --> 00:04:46,517
A couple of years ago, I
started finding more people
158
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:48,758
because I got so
tired of this not
159
00:04:48,862 --> 00:04:50,241
being able to speak my mind.
160
00:04:50,344 --> 00:04:52,344
So I needed to find
people that actually
161
00:04:52,448 --> 00:04:56,275
knew how to say things to--
162
00:04:56,379 --> 00:04:57,241
I'm forgetting the words.
163
00:04:57,344 --> 00:04:58,517
I'm sorry.
164
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:00,137
You needed somebody to
be more articulate for you?
165
00:05:00,241 --> 00:05:02,517
Yes, because you see
me like, right now,
166
00:05:02,620 --> 00:05:04,103
I can't put words together.
167
00:05:04,206 --> 00:05:05,482
So--
168
00:05:05,586 --> 00:05:07,172
You're looking for somebody
to put words in your mouth?
169
00:05:07,275 --> 00:05:08,172
Yes.
170
00:05:08,275 --> 00:05:09,206
Gotcha.
171
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:11,137
Well, not-- not
like that exactly.
172
00:05:11,241 --> 00:05:12,344
Well, that's what I
was doing right there.
173
00:05:12,448 --> 00:05:13,379
Yes.
174
00:05:13,482 --> 00:05:14,413
What I'm talking
about is what Charlie
175
00:05:14,517 --> 00:05:15,724
Kirk kind of does inside.
- Yes, yes.
176
00:05:15,827 --> 00:05:17,103
Yes.
177
00:05:17,206 --> 00:05:18,655
He puts the words
in your mouth?
178
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,689
Yeah, making enough sense for
me, so I memorize what he says,
179
00:05:20,793 --> 00:05:22,206
then I can freely say it too.
180
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:23,310
Exactly.
181
00:05:23,413 --> 00:05:24,517
So basically, his
words become your own?
182
00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:25,689
Yes.
183
00:05:25,793 --> 00:05:27,379
- His thoughts become your own?
- It's awesome.
184
00:05:27,482 --> 00:05:28,862
JORDAN KLEPPER: And some
of those beautifully
185
00:05:28,965 --> 00:05:31,931
crafted words play great
as clickbait online.
186
00:05:32,034 --> 00:05:32,931
What is a woman?
187
00:05:33,034 --> 00:05:33,931
What is a woman?
188
00:05:34,034 --> 00:05:35,896
It's not a trick question.
189
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,103
What is a woman?
190
00:05:37,206 --> 00:05:39,896
He always asks liberals
like, what is a woman?
191
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,206
Yeah, we literally saw
it like 5 or 10 minutes.
192
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:43,586
You got to see a
live what is a woman.
193
00:05:43,689 --> 00:05:45,793
Finally, he was like, all
right, give me your definition,
194
00:05:45,896 --> 00:05:46,793
what is a woman?
195
00:05:46,896 --> 00:05:49,344
How do you define
what a woman is?
196
00:05:49,448 --> 00:05:51,000
I think it's just genetics.
197
00:05:51,103 --> 00:05:54,827
I go with, like, a woman
is somebody who sues Donald
198
00:05:54,931 --> 00:05:55,827
Trump for sexual assault.
199
00:05:55,931 --> 00:05:57,896
[laughter]
200
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,068
JORDAN KLEPPER: 31-year-old
Kirk and the billionaires who
201
00:06:00,172 --> 00:06:03,000
fund him are successfully
influencing young minds
202
00:06:03,103 --> 00:06:06,137
and making those young minds
skeptical of anyone else trying
203
00:06:06,241 --> 00:06:07,896
to influence young minds.
204
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,517
Beto O'Rourke has
been to campus probably
205
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:12,000
like five times,
and I don't know
206
00:06:12,103 --> 00:06:13,206
why he's still coming here.
207
00:06:13,310 --> 00:06:14,344
- It feels like groomers.
- Yes.
208
00:06:14,448 --> 00:06:15,655
You have somebody
like Beto O'Rourke.
209
00:06:15,758 --> 00:06:17,689
You have like an adult
man come to a campus
210
00:06:17,793 --> 00:06:19,655
trying to groom somebody around
his own political ideology.
211
00:06:19,758 --> 00:06:20,931
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
212
00:06:21,034 --> 00:06:22,344
- It shouldn't happen at all.
- No, it shouldn't.
213
00:06:22,448 --> 00:06:24,448
That's why it's refreshing to
have somebody like Charlie Kirk
214
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:26,068
come to campus and
bring his like,
215
00:06:26,172 --> 00:06:29,172
30-year-old mentality here to
shape the minds of tomorrow.
216
00:06:29,275 --> 00:06:30,551
Yes, sir.
217
00:06:30,655 --> 00:06:32,068
JORDAN KLEPPER: It seems like
these Aggies were pledging
218
00:06:32,172 --> 00:06:33,206
the fraternity of MAGA.
219
00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:35,551
And since no one invited
me to any keggers,
220
00:06:35,655 --> 00:06:37,241
it was time to
ditch these nerds
221
00:06:37,344 --> 00:06:40,862
and hang with the jocks outside
an Ultimate Fighting event.
222
00:06:40,965 --> 00:06:42,482
Did you guys hear who's coming?
- Donald Trump!
223
00:06:42,586 --> 00:06:43,482
- Trump's coming.
- Yeah!
224
00:06:43,586 --> 00:06:44,620
[exclaiming]
225
00:06:44,724 --> 00:06:45,758
JORDAN KLEPPER:
After the break.
226
00:06:49,137 --> 00:06:52,068
So Trump did unexpectedly
well with the young voters,
227
00:06:52,172 --> 00:06:54,896
but he killed it with the
bros who shifted roughly
228
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,551
15 points to the right.
229
00:06:56,655 --> 00:06:59,482
There's only one place in
the world to find out why--
230
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:02,896
[upbeat music]
231
00:07:04,103 --> 00:07:06,896
--a UFC event in Miami
where the sun is shining,
232
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,344
fists are flying, and
the energy is jacked.
233
00:07:09,448 --> 00:07:10,344
How are you feeling?
234
00:07:10,448 --> 00:07:11,620
Oh, I'm fucking lit, baby.
235
00:07:11,724 --> 00:07:12,689
Did you guys
hear who's coming?
236
00:07:12,793 --> 00:07:13,862
- Donald Trump!
- Trump's coming.
237
00:07:13,965 --> 00:07:15,655
Yeah!
[exclaiming]
238
00:07:15,758 --> 00:07:16,862
JORDAN KLEPPER: That's right.
239
00:07:16,965 --> 00:07:19,758
And because it's America,
tonight's main event
240
00:07:19,862 --> 00:07:21,620
is the commander
in chief bringing
241
00:07:21,724 --> 00:07:23,965
his cabinet bros ringside.
242
00:07:24,068 --> 00:07:25,344
Yeah, Donald Trump
in the building.
243
00:07:25,448 --> 00:07:26,827
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hide the women and kids.
244
00:07:26,931 --> 00:07:28,000
Yeah, I know, right.
245
00:07:28,103 --> 00:07:30,172
Goal is to get close
enough to see him, to say,
246
00:07:30,275 --> 00:07:31,379
yo, Donald, look at my shirt.
247
00:07:31,482 --> 00:07:32,379
Yo!
248
00:07:32,482 --> 00:07:33,482
Yeah.
249
00:07:33,586 --> 00:07:34,896
What do you hope his
reaction is to that?
250
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,103
Well, if he sees me, I
hope maybe he comes up to me
251
00:07:37,206 --> 00:07:38,379
and taps me out.
- Yeah.
252
00:07:38,482 --> 00:07:39,758
Get in there.
253
00:07:39,862 --> 00:07:41,344
You want to be in charge of
the Department of Education?
254
00:07:41,448 --> 00:07:42,517
Not me, man.
255
00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:44,724
It feels like a president
coming to a fight,
256
00:07:44,827 --> 00:07:46,275
giving off some
real Caesar vibes.
257
00:07:46,379 --> 00:07:47,689
Do you imagine he's
going to come in there
258
00:07:47,793 --> 00:07:49,103
and give one of these
to the fighters?
259
00:07:49,206 --> 00:07:50,103
No?
- No.
260
00:07:50,206 --> 00:07:51,241
Tariffs?
261
00:07:51,344 --> 00:07:52,413
No tariffs.
262
00:07:52,517 --> 00:07:53,896
CROWD: We want Trump!
263
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,793
We want Trump!
264
00:07:55,896 --> 00:07:58,517
JORDAN KLEPPER: The UFC
has 40 yearly live events,
265
00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:03,965
640 million fans, broadcasting
into 900 million homes.
266
00:08:04,068 --> 00:08:06,482
So what is it about this
blood sport that connects
267
00:08:06,586 --> 00:08:08,379
the fans and the
fighters with the most
268
00:08:08,482 --> 00:08:12,172
powerful man on the planet
in such a spiritual way?
269
00:08:12,275 --> 00:08:15,413
You don't watch MMA at
first, you get baptized.
270
00:08:15,517 --> 00:08:17,241
I saw it once and I felt
like I got circumcised.
271
00:08:17,344 --> 00:08:18,310
Totally honest.
272
00:08:18,413 --> 00:08:20,586
I felt like a smaller
man in that room.
273
00:08:20,689 --> 00:08:22,965
JORDAN KLEPPER: This is combat
sports journalist, Luke Thomas,
274
00:08:23,068 --> 00:08:24,827
an expert in the world of MMA.
275
00:08:24,931 --> 00:08:25,827
What is it?
276
00:08:25,931 --> 00:08:28,275
What makes these
fighters right wing?
277
00:08:28,379 --> 00:08:29,758
Training martial
arts to defend yourself
278
00:08:29,862 --> 00:08:31,655
is like 10% of it.
279
00:08:31,758 --> 00:08:33,793
It is really about
defining yourself.
280
00:08:33,895 --> 00:08:35,068
It's about learning
who you are.
281
00:08:35,172 --> 00:08:37,724
These are massively
transformative for people.
282
00:08:37,827 --> 00:08:40,655
And you begin to learn
lessons about self-reliance,
283
00:08:40,758 --> 00:08:42,102
discipline, order.
284
00:08:42,206 --> 00:08:45,448
You're getting people sometimes
16 years of age, early 20s.
285
00:08:45,551 --> 00:08:47,655
These are sometimes people
that don't have hardcore ideas
286
00:08:47,758 --> 00:08:49,241
about how the world works.
287
00:08:49,344 --> 00:08:51,655
I think that they're building
out political ideologies
288
00:08:51,758 --> 00:08:53,034
from these personal lessons.
289
00:08:53,137 --> 00:08:54,931
They're training, and they're
discovering who they are.
290
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:56,620
And it's like, oh,
I'm the kind of person
291
00:08:56,724 --> 00:09:01,068
who really wants ICE to deport
a third grader to Ecuador?
292
00:09:01,172 --> 00:09:02,862
What they would
say is, I don't
293
00:09:02,965 --> 00:09:04,448
want to hear any
excuses for why
294
00:09:04,551 --> 00:09:06,172
things go wrong in your life.
295
00:09:06,275 --> 00:09:08,000
I think we've had a lot
of beta males representing
296
00:09:08,103 --> 00:09:09,379
our country for a while.
297
00:09:09,482 --> 00:09:11,896
The Republican Party led by
Trump has really, like, said,
298
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:12,896
enough's enough.
299
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,275
They don't want no whiny baby.
300
00:09:14,379 --> 00:09:15,482
PC liberals
that are like, put
301
00:09:15,586 --> 00:09:17,655
on their makeup and dance
to the YMCA and bitch
302
00:09:17,758 --> 00:09:19,241
about not winning Emmy's.
- Yeah, yeah.
303
00:09:19,344 --> 00:09:20,241
Oh, no, that's Trump.
304
00:09:20,344 --> 00:09:21,206
Trump does that.
305
00:09:21,310 --> 00:09:22,241
But--
306
00:09:22,344 --> 00:09:23,827
I wasn't paying attention.
307
00:09:23,931 --> 00:09:25,034
JORDAN KLEPPER:
Trump's relationship
308
00:09:25,137 --> 00:09:27,551
with the UFC world
started with the UFC
309
00:09:27,655 --> 00:09:29,689
CEO and President, Dana White.
310
00:09:29,793 --> 00:09:31,586
Dana White has said he's
had a relationship with Donald
311
00:09:31,689 --> 00:09:33,965
Trump that goes back
to their early days
312
00:09:34,068 --> 00:09:37,103
when he and his partners
took over the UFC.
313
00:09:37,206 --> 00:09:39,000
JORDAN KLEPPER: A
controversial figure known for,
314
00:09:39,103 --> 00:09:41,275
among other things,
attacking his wife,
315
00:09:41,379 --> 00:09:43,068
underpaying his
fighters and creating
316
00:09:43,172 --> 00:09:44,827
a monopoly in the sport.
317
00:09:44,931 --> 00:09:46,724
A monopoly,
which is the best.
318
00:09:46,827 --> 00:09:48,103
JORDAN KLEPPER: Which
might have helped
319
00:09:48,206 --> 00:09:52,275
motivate White to campaign on
behalf of Daddy Trump at MMA
320
00:09:52,379 --> 00:09:55,275
live events, MMA podcast
and the Republican
321
00:09:55,379 --> 00:09:56,448
National Convention.
322
00:09:56,551 --> 00:09:57,862
You can see what the
UFC gets out of it.
323
00:09:57,965 --> 00:09:59,448
There's going to be no
antitrust enforcement.
324
00:09:59,551 --> 00:10:00,827
And the other side,
look what Trump gets.
325
00:10:00,931 --> 00:10:02,793
He gets this political
constituency fed to him.
326
00:10:02,896 --> 00:10:04,448
He gets to have his
image laundered.
327
00:10:04,551 --> 00:10:06,689
DANA WHITE: Trump is the most
resilient human being that I
328
00:10:06,793 --> 00:10:07,827
have ever met in my life.
329
00:10:07,931 --> 00:10:09,137
You see what he's
doing with the tariffs.
330
00:10:09,241 --> 00:10:10,137
- Oh.
- Yeah, yeah.
331
00:10:10,241 --> 00:10:11,137
He plays hardball.
332
00:10:11,241 --> 00:10:12,275
I think he's just a badass.
333
00:10:12,379 --> 00:10:14,448
And all the UFC people
are just badass.
334
00:10:14,551 --> 00:10:16,275
Take any of the greatest
fighters of all time,
335
00:10:16,379 --> 00:10:17,413
Trump is number one.
336
00:10:17,517 --> 00:10:18,551
But like he's fighting
for the American people.
337
00:10:18,655 --> 00:10:19,758
- Donald Trump is a fighter.
- Yeah.
338
00:10:19,862 --> 00:10:21,275
And he refused to tap
out of the 2020 election.
339
00:10:21,379 --> 00:10:22,241
That's a fighter.
340
00:10:22,344 --> 00:10:23,310
OK, well.
341
00:10:23,413 --> 00:10:25,482
If you are one of
these young kids who
342
00:10:25,586 --> 00:10:28,655
has some heart and some
grit and some determination
343
00:10:28,758 --> 00:10:31,275
and you want to win, there's
never been more opportunity
344
00:10:31,379 --> 00:10:32,344
than there is right now.
345
00:10:32,448 --> 00:10:33,586
JORDAN KLEPPER: I
was seeing a pattern.
346
00:10:33,689 --> 00:10:35,965
Young men are seeking
a model of manhood,
347
00:10:36,068 --> 00:10:38,482
but the only ones successfully
offering it to them
348
00:10:38,586 --> 00:10:40,137
seem to range
from wife slappers
349
00:10:40,241 --> 00:10:42,827
to outright Hitler
stands, like one
350
00:10:42,931 --> 00:10:44,586
of this night's big fighters.
351
00:10:44,689 --> 00:10:45,724
- Bryce Mitchell.
- Bryce Mitchell.
352
00:10:45,827 --> 00:10:46,724
What's his deal?
353
00:10:46,827 --> 00:10:47,862
That's one of the
rowdy characters.
354
00:10:47,965 --> 00:10:48,862
Yeah?
355
00:10:48,965 --> 00:10:50,310
He's rowdy like
occasionally he swears?
356
00:10:50,413 --> 00:10:51,517
A little bit more
rowdy than that.
357
00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:53,586
He talks about the
man with the mustache.
358
00:10:53,689 --> 00:10:54,586
He talks about Hitler?
359
00:10:54,689 --> 00:10:55,586
Correct.
360
00:10:55,689 --> 00:10:57,965
Like, boo Hitler?
361
00:10:58,068 --> 00:10:59,448
He said he wanted to
go fishing with him.
362
00:10:59,551 --> 00:11:00,620
Oh.
363
00:11:00,724 --> 00:11:02,551
I honestly think that
Hitler was a good guy
364
00:11:02,655 --> 00:11:04,310
based upon my own research.
365
00:11:04,413 --> 00:11:06,724
I really do think before
Hitler got on meth,
366
00:11:06,827 --> 00:11:08,620
he was a guy I'd
go fishing with.
367
00:11:08,724 --> 00:11:10,310
He fought for his country.
368
00:11:10,413 --> 00:11:14,310
He wanted to purify it by
kicking the greedy Jews out
369
00:11:14,413 --> 00:11:16,310
that were destroying
his country
370
00:11:16,413 --> 00:11:19,206
and turning them all into gays.
371
00:11:19,310 --> 00:11:21,827
JORDAN KLEPPER: Wow, he just
hit the bigotry trifecta.
372
00:11:21,931 --> 00:11:24,862
I'm sure it turned
off all his fans.
373
00:11:24,965 --> 00:11:26,413
We went to the press
conference yesterday.
374
00:11:26,517 --> 00:11:27,413
It was like crazy
because we thought
375
00:11:27,517 --> 00:11:28,793
people were going to boo him.
376
00:11:28,896 --> 00:11:31,034
They cheered louder for him
than they did for John Silva.
377
00:11:31,137 --> 00:11:32,034
For the Nazi guy?
378
00:11:32,137 --> 00:11:33,172
Yeah, for the Nazi guy.
379
00:11:36,275 --> 00:11:37,448
Hitler's bad.
OK, everybody?
380
00:11:37,551 --> 00:11:38,586
That's great.
381
00:11:38,689 --> 00:11:40,275
You know, but I want
Bryce Mitchell to win.
382
00:11:40,379 --> 00:11:41,689
I want him to
knock his ass out.
383
00:11:41,793 --> 00:11:43,310
- Hitler is bad--
- Yes.
384
00:11:43,413 --> 00:11:44,655
--but not a deal breaker.
385
00:11:44,758 --> 00:11:46,793
JORDAN KLEPPER: Now, I'm not
saying a MAGA-fied UFC will
386
00:11:46,896 --> 00:11:49,586
lead every young man
into Nazi trout fishing,
387
00:11:49,689 --> 00:11:52,172
but I am saying with an
unhealthy devotion to Trump
388
00:11:52,275 --> 00:11:54,068
and a glorification
of violence,
389
00:11:54,172 --> 00:11:56,931
they could end up like
this man, Scott Fairlamb.
390
00:11:57,034 --> 00:12:01,172
What is it about MMA that
the MAGA faithful love?
391
00:12:01,275 --> 00:12:03,241
I mean, let's--
let's be real.
392
00:12:03,344 --> 00:12:04,448
I think it's the violence.
393
00:12:04,551 --> 00:12:06,068
JORDAN KLEPPER: Now,
based on appearance,
394
00:12:06,172 --> 00:12:10,379
Scott Fairlamb may look like a
combination of a former Pro MMA
395
00:12:10,482 --> 00:12:12,931
fighter and a
January 6 attendee,
396
00:12:13,034 --> 00:12:16,310
but in reality, that's
exactly who he is.
397
00:12:16,413 --> 00:12:20,517
Did the cross in solitary
on Christmas. with a staple.
398
00:12:20,620 --> 00:12:22,344
You tattooed
yourself with a staple?
399
00:12:22,448 --> 00:12:25,620
And coffee and
Vaseline, burnt Vaseline.
400
00:12:25,724 --> 00:12:27,517
I gotta tell you,
you got to get on Etsy.
401
00:12:27,620 --> 00:12:29,482
JORDAN KLEPPER: But back
to the youth and violence.
402
00:12:29,586 --> 00:12:33,068
I've seen a big uprise in
the younger age demographic.
403
00:12:33,172 --> 00:12:37,482
I just think it's a time where
we're seeing so much violence,
404
00:12:37,586 --> 00:12:39,655
maybe that parents
are getting their kids
405
00:12:39,758 --> 00:12:41,241
involved at an earlier age.
406
00:12:41,344 --> 00:12:44,793
So they can defend themselves
should something come awry.
407
00:12:44,896 --> 00:12:46,620
JORDAN KLEPPER: Though, the
line between self-defense
408
00:12:46,724 --> 00:12:49,551
and what MAGA world has
described as a normal tourist
409
00:12:49,655 --> 00:12:51,103
visit is blurred.
410
00:12:51,206 --> 00:12:52,931
So where were you on J6?
411
00:12:53,034 --> 00:12:55,206
Well, I made
it to right here.
412
00:12:55,310 --> 00:12:57,827
That was the rotunda, but
when I saw the hundred plus
413
00:12:57,931 --> 00:12:59,896
photographers, I turned
around and walked
414
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,586
my ass right back out.
- Pull back here.
415
00:13:01,689 --> 00:13:03,000
I was like--
- You were in my armpit.
416
00:13:03,103 --> 00:13:04,275
I was right there.
I was right there.
417
00:13:04,379 --> 00:13:05,310
Started here.
418
00:13:05,413 --> 00:13:06,482
And then I ran
down your armpit,
419
00:13:06,586 --> 00:13:08,068
and I got on the accelerator
around your cock.
420
00:13:08,172 --> 00:13:10,034
[laughs]
421
00:13:10,137 --> 00:13:11,862
JORDAN KLEPPER: And while I
was grabbing the first train
422
00:13:11,965 --> 00:13:14,241
out of town, Scott
was using his MMA
423
00:13:14,344 --> 00:13:15,827
skills in the real world.
424
00:13:15,931 --> 00:13:18,275
He pled guilty to
punching a DC Metro Police
425
00:13:18,379 --> 00:13:20,206
officer in the
face, although he
426
00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:22,241
says there's more to
the story than meets
427
00:13:22,344 --> 00:13:27,379
the eye, the eye of thousands
of cameras and investigations.
428
00:13:27,482 --> 00:13:29,241
Obviously, there
were paid Instigators,
429
00:13:29,344 --> 00:13:31,620
agitators and motivators
that were in that crowd.
430
00:13:31,724 --> 00:13:32,689
They were
manipulating people?
431
00:13:32,793 --> 00:13:33,827
Absolutely.
432
00:13:33,931 --> 00:13:35,413
How did they manipulate
you to punch a cop?
433
00:13:35,517 --> 00:13:36,827
Now you're just
trying to be funny.
434
00:13:36,931 --> 00:13:38,068
That makes no fucking sense.
435
00:13:38,172 --> 00:13:40,724
Do you not see your
actions as violent that day?
436
00:13:40,827 --> 00:13:42,551
I see it as self-defense.
437
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:44,965
JORDAN KLEPPER: A refrain
I've heard from many J-Sixers.
438
00:13:45,068 --> 00:13:47,931
Few of them see themselves
as perpetrators of violence.
439
00:13:48,034 --> 00:13:50,620
They're victims,
literal choirboys,
440
00:13:50,724 --> 00:13:51,862
especially when
they were locked
441
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:53,793
up together late at night.
442
00:13:53,896 --> 00:13:55,586
ALL: [SINGING] In air
443
00:13:55,689 --> 00:13:57,448
I was one of the guys that
started the National anthem
444
00:13:57,551 --> 00:13:58,724
every night at 9 o'clock.
445
00:13:58,827 --> 00:14:00,103
That J6 Choir.
446
00:14:00,206 --> 00:14:01,172
Mm-hmm.
447
00:14:01,275 --> 00:14:02,689
That's us singing
through the phone.
448
00:14:02,793 --> 00:14:03,689
- That's you?
- Yes.
449
00:14:03,793 --> 00:14:04,896
What were you, soprano?
450
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,034
JORDAN KLEPPER: Yes, the
J6 Choir is a real thing,
451
00:14:08,137 --> 00:14:10,517
and they sound exactly how
you think they'd sound.
452
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:12,241
[SINGING]: Still there!
453
00:14:12,344 --> 00:14:14,517
I don't want to be
critical of the J6 Choir,
454
00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:16,068
but the harmonies were mid.
455
00:14:16,172 --> 00:14:17,482
Let's hear yours.
Go.
456
00:14:17,586 --> 00:14:18,655
Let's hear your rendition.
457
00:14:18,758 --> 00:14:19,655
Let's go.
458
00:14:19,758 --> 00:14:21,793
[SINGING] Oh,
say can you see.
459
00:14:21,896 --> 00:14:22,793
It's not bad.
460
00:14:22,896 --> 00:14:23,827
That's not bad.
461
00:14:23,931 --> 00:14:27,241
[SINGING]: By the
dawn's early light.
462
00:14:27,344 --> 00:14:32,689
What so proudly we
hail at the twilight--
463
00:14:32,793 --> 00:14:33,896
["THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER"
PLAYING]
464
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,000
JORDAN KLEPPER:
OK, we don't have
465
00:14:35,103 --> 00:14:36,448
to listen to any more of that.
466
00:14:36,551 --> 00:14:40,068
Maybe it's time to dip into the
lighter side of nationalism.
467
00:14:40,172 --> 00:14:41,724
Spring Break Gulf of America.
468
00:14:41,827 --> 00:14:42,724
Let's go.
469
00:14:42,827 --> 00:14:43,896
JORDAN KLEPPER:
After the break.
470
00:14:47,931 --> 00:14:50,241
It was becoming clear
that the MAGA youth were
471
00:14:50,344 --> 00:14:53,137
different from conservatives
of the past, fewer policies
472
00:14:53,241 --> 00:14:56,517
about taxes, more policies
about owning Libs and bringing
473
00:14:56,620 --> 00:14:58,310
guns out when the sun's out.
474
00:14:58,413 --> 00:15:00,931
And that was never more evident
than on the shores of Trump's
475
00:15:01,034 --> 00:15:02,379
first big accomplishment.
476
00:15:02,482 --> 00:15:03,896
Spring Break Gulf of America.
477
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:04,896
Let's go.
478
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,655
The name Gulf of
America, it just
479
00:15:06,758 --> 00:15:10,965
means fucking freedom and peace
and liberty and happiness.
480
00:15:11,068 --> 00:15:13,689
Fucking freedom, peace
and liberty and happiness.
481
00:15:13,793 --> 00:15:15,103
That's what it
means to me, man.
482
00:15:15,206 --> 00:15:16,931
The drinks taste
a little bit colder.
483
00:15:17,034 --> 00:15:17,931
Sun's a little brighter.
484
00:15:18,034 --> 00:15:19,206
Yeah.
485
00:15:19,310 --> 00:15:20,931
Really awesome that he
named it the Gulf of America.
486
00:15:21,034 --> 00:15:22,137
This is the Gulf of America.
487
00:15:22,241 --> 00:15:23,448
- This is the Gulf of America.
- To everybody.
488
00:15:23,551 --> 00:15:24,482
To everybody.
489
00:15:24,586 --> 00:15:25,620
Except for the
rest of the world.
490
00:15:25,724 --> 00:15:27,241
Yeah, they got
their own oceans.
491
00:15:27,344 --> 00:15:28,344
It feels amazing.
492
00:15:28,448 --> 00:15:29,931
It feels like the
greatest country.
493
00:15:30,034 --> 00:15:31,448
It feels like the
greatest ocean.
494
00:15:31,551 --> 00:15:32,689
The Gulf of America,
it's amazing.
495
00:15:32,793 --> 00:15:34,172
Look at this.
Look at this.
496
00:15:34,275 --> 00:15:35,275
It feels so good.
497
00:15:35,379 --> 00:15:37,206
It makes you almost
forget the stock market
498
00:15:37,310 --> 00:15:39,068
was down 800 points yesterday.
499
00:15:39,172 --> 00:15:40,758
JORDAN KLEPPER: But perhaps
I was missing the name
500
00:15:40,862 --> 00:15:42,793
changes, soft power benefits.
501
00:15:42,896 --> 00:15:45,172
You know, you say
like, maybe like, hey, do
502
00:15:45,275 --> 00:15:46,413
you want to go on
a late night walk
503
00:15:46,517 --> 00:15:47,827
right on the Gulf of America?
504
00:15:47,931 --> 00:15:50,068
Are hook-ups easier this
year during spring break?
505
00:15:50,172 --> 00:15:52,000
I feel like it's
definitely easier to connect
506
00:15:52,103 --> 00:15:53,586
on a patriotic side of things.
507
00:15:53,689 --> 00:15:55,068
A patriotic side of things.
508
00:15:55,172 --> 00:15:56,586
And under a Trump
administration,
509
00:15:56,689 --> 00:15:58,517
now there's some
sexy ambiguity.
510
00:15:58,620 --> 00:16:00,068
Whether it's chlamydia
or measles, who knows?
511
00:16:00,172 --> 00:16:01,137
[laughter]
512
00:16:01,241 --> 00:16:03,137
I mean, you said
it, not me, but yeah.
513
00:16:03,241 --> 00:16:04,931
JORDAN KLEPPER: While the
beach bros celebrated,
514
00:16:05,034 --> 00:16:07,379
like so many of
Trump's actions,
515
00:16:07,482 --> 00:16:10,137
this one fell short with
some of the fairer sex.
516
00:16:10,241 --> 00:16:12,586
I do not believe that
this is the Gulf of America.
517
00:16:12,689 --> 00:16:14,517
I believe that it's
the Gulf of Mexico.
518
00:16:14,620 --> 00:16:16,344
There are way more important
issues that we should
519
00:16:16,448 --> 00:16:17,655
be focusing on right now.
520
00:16:17,758 --> 00:16:19,379
I can't do
neuroscience research.
521
00:16:19,482 --> 00:16:22,482
My research funding is
gone, and that's really sad.
522
00:16:22,586 --> 00:16:23,724
OK, that is sad.
523
00:16:23,827 --> 00:16:26,551
But can I remind
you that that's now
524
00:16:26,655 --> 00:16:27,551
called the Gulf of America.
525
00:16:27,655 --> 00:16:28,655
Yeah.
526
00:16:28,758 --> 00:16:30,103
That doesn't fix anything.
- It's so wrong.
527
00:16:30,206 --> 00:16:31,379
JORDAN KLEPPER: Of
course, in Florida,
528
00:16:31,482 --> 00:16:34,275
there are those already
proudly sporting the uniform.
529
00:16:34,379 --> 00:16:36,413
So I spoke with a few
members of the Tampa
530
00:16:36,517 --> 00:16:38,000
Bay Young Republicans.
531
00:16:38,103 --> 00:16:40,862
The name change to Gulf of
America, is that important?
532
00:16:40,965 --> 00:16:42,034
Oh, definitely, yeah.
533
00:16:42,137 --> 00:16:44,482
I think everyone has
a generational shift.
534
00:16:44,586 --> 00:16:46,344
You know, you had
the baby boomers,
535
00:16:46,448 --> 00:16:48,586
they went through the World
War II, they had their thing.
536
00:16:48,689 --> 00:16:50,137
You know, I think
our generation,
537
00:16:50,241 --> 00:16:54,103
the big thing is having our
stamp on the world is OK.
538
00:16:54,206 --> 00:16:56,827
So the greatest
generation took Normandy,
539
00:16:56,931 --> 00:16:59,379
and this generation took
the Gulf of America?
540
00:16:59,482 --> 00:17:00,517
Yes, sir.
541
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:01,931
JORDAN KLEPPER: But
before I start imagining
542
00:17:02,034 --> 00:17:03,689
these young MAGA
soldiers storming
543
00:17:03,793 --> 00:17:06,137
the shores of clear water
with canteens full of sex
544
00:17:06,241 --> 00:17:08,137
on the beach, I
needed to know what
545
00:17:08,241 --> 00:17:10,378
are their actual core values.
546
00:17:10,482 --> 00:17:13,413
We want a small
government oversight.
547
00:17:13,517 --> 00:17:15,103
We want strong economy.
548
00:17:15,205 --> 00:17:17,964
Strong families, and
a love for the nation.
549
00:17:18,068 --> 00:17:21,448
We're kind of just pushing
towards a world where those--
550
00:17:21,550 --> 00:17:24,103
those different
things, such as men
551
00:17:24,205 --> 00:17:26,275
being women in
different sports,
552
00:17:26,378 --> 00:17:27,689
we see girls are
getting injured
553
00:17:27,792 --> 00:17:29,758
all the time in high
school sports and all that.
554
00:17:29,862 --> 00:17:31,379
So when it comes
to women's sports,
555
00:17:31,482 --> 00:17:33,482
you're approaching this from
like, we need to respect women?
556
00:17:33,586 --> 00:17:34,482
- Yeah.
- Right.
557
00:17:34,586 --> 00:17:35,724
Yeah.
558
00:17:35,827 --> 00:17:37,000
I mean, in a lot of
senses, it seems like women
559
00:17:37,103 --> 00:17:38,586
are being kind of deleted.
560
00:17:38,689 --> 00:17:41,655
So you guys recently
invited Andrew Tate to come
561
00:17:41,758 --> 00:17:43,827
and speak to your group.
562
00:17:43,931 --> 00:17:45,275
We said we'd be open for him.
563
00:17:45,379 --> 00:17:46,827
JORDAN KLEPPER: The Tampa
Bay Young Republicans
564
00:17:46,931 --> 00:17:48,689
made national news
when they formally
565
00:17:48,793 --> 00:17:52,689
invited Andrew Tate to speak to
their group, this Andrew Tate.
566
00:17:52,793 --> 00:17:55,137
The former kickboxer
turned influencer accused
567
00:17:55,241 --> 00:17:57,965
of assaulting and choking
his girlfriend in California
568
00:17:58,068 --> 00:18:01,413
and on trial in Romania for
alleged sex trafficking.
569
00:18:01,517 --> 00:18:03,000
If a woman is
going out with a man,
570
00:18:03,103 --> 00:18:05,000
she belongs to that
man, that's his woman.
571
00:18:05,103 --> 00:18:06,586
So she wants to do
OnlyFans, she owes him
572
00:18:06,689 --> 00:18:08,103
some money because she's his.
573
00:18:08,206 --> 00:18:10,896
What discussion did you
want with Andrew Tate?
574
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000
So it's not really a
discussion we want with him.
575
00:18:14,103 --> 00:18:15,965
We just want to get different
opinions out there--
576
00:18:16,068 --> 00:18:16,965
Clicks.
577
00:18:17,068 --> 00:18:18,448
--and then reach out to our--
578
00:18:18,551 --> 00:18:19,896
get, obviously, clicks.
579
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,275
100%.
580
00:18:21,379 --> 00:18:23,689
I mean, the more people that
are looking at us, at Tampa Bay
581
00:18:23,793 --> 00:18:25,482
Young Republicans
and also seeing
582
00:18:25,586 --> 00:18:27,034
the kind of
conversations that we do
583
00:18:27,137 --> 00:18:29,517
have, the better it is
for our organization.
584
00:18:29,620 --> 00:18:31,379
But they're looking at
you because you invited
585
00:18:31,482 --> 00:18:33,448
an alleged human trafficker.
586
00:18:33,551 --> 00:18:38,103
Were Jake and Logan Paul,
too, likable for an invite?
587
00:18:38,206 --> 00:18:39,448
- They're not likable.
- No?
588
00:18:39,551 --> 00:18:40,517
So, like, what was it?
589
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:41,655
What was the
conversation you wanted
590
00:18:41,758 --> 00:18:43,034
to have with Andrew Tate?
591
00:18:43,137 --> 00:18:44,379
I don't want to
sit here and give
592
00:18:44,482 --> 00:18:47,034
someone that has inappropriate
values a platform.
593
00:18:47,137 --> 00:18:48,275
Not your goal.
594
00:18:48,379 --> 00:18:50,551
You're just like, let's
give Andrew Tate a platform.
595
00:18:50,655 --> 00:18:53,034
Tell me about, like, choking a
bitch, should I get from behind
596
00:18:53,137 --> 00:18:54,689
or should I approach
from the front?
597
00:18:54,793 --> 00:18:56,172
It's not like
we're here supporting
598
00:18:56,275 --> 00:18:57,344
any of that gross rhetoric.
599
00:18:57,448 --> 00:18:58,413
That's not something--
600
00:18:58,517 --> 00:19:01,206
No, but-- but do you
understand you are?
601
00:19:01,310 --> 00:19:02,551
Most of the members
said that they
602
00:19:02,655 --> 00:19:04,172
did not want Andrew Tate on.
JORDAN KLEPPER: Sure.
603
00:19:04,275 --> 00:19:05,275
So then he never came on.
604
00:19:05,379 --> 00:19:07,310
So it's kind of-- it
seems kind of weird
605
00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:09,172
that you're on here just kind
of pressing us about Andrew
606
00:19:09,275 --> 00:19:11,379
Tate when the majority of
Tampa Bay Young Republicans
607
00:19:11,482 --> 00:19:12,551
said, hey, we don't
want him here,
608
00:19:12,655 --> 00:19:13,862
and then he never came on.
609
00:19:13,965 --> 00:19:15,896
That would have been for
attention to spark discourse,
610
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,034
but it didn't happen.
611
00:19:17,137 --> 00:19:19,482
Here's the deal, you're
in the discourse now.
612
00:19:19,586 --> 00:19:22,000
You utilized his
name and fame to grab
613
00:19:22,103 --> 00:19:24,448
attention towards the Tampa
Bay Young Republicans.
614
00:19:24,551 --> 00:19:26,000
And now here we
are in it, and it
615
00:19:26,103 --> 00:19:27,068
feels as if you
want to distance
616
00:19:27,172 --> 00:19:28,689
yourself from it,
which to me feels
617
00:19:28,793 --> 00:19:30,344
a lot like the MAGA movement.
618
00:19:30,448 --> 00:19:32,310
That was an Instagram
post that said, do you
619
00:19:32,413 --> 00:19:33,758
guys want Andrew Tate here?
620
00:19:33,862 --> 00:19:35,000
- That's not what it said.
- It's not?
621
00:19:35,103 --> 00:19:36,862
No, no, that's
not what it said.
622
00:19:36,965 --> 00:19:38,793
It said it said
we formally invite
623
00:19:38,896 --> 00:19:40,344
him to speak to our group.
624
00:19:40,448 --> 00:19:41,448
We want to see
what's going on,
625
00:19:41,551 --> 00:19:43,448
like, hey, why are
you coming here?
626
00:19:43,551 --> 00:19:45,068
Are you expecting to
do the same thing here?
627
00:19:45,172 --> 00:19:46,827
Is it, hey, we know we
can get away with stuff?
628
00:19:46,931 --> 00:19:48,758
What's the reason he
thinks he can come here?
629
00:19:48,862 --> 00:19:50,586
Because there's
people here who
630
00:19:50,689 --> 00:19:52,827
want clicks so badly
that they'll be like,
631
00:19:52,931 --> 00:19:54,689
come and talk to us.
632
00:19:54,793 --> 00:19:57,655
I mean, everyone-- everyone
likes clicks, everyone likes--
633
00:19:57,758 --> 00:19:59,310
everyone likes their 30
seconds of fame, you know.
634
00:19:59,413 --> 00:20:02,482
Any regrets about
inviting Andrew Tate?
635
00:20:02,586 --> 00:20:06,275
You know, you know
the saying any publicity
636
00:20:06,379 --> 00:20:07,689
is good publicity?
- Yeah.
637
00:20:07,793 --> 00:20:08,655
It's not.
638
00:20:08,758 --> 00:20:09,689
That's not true.
639
00:20:09,793 --> 00:20:11,068
Have you planned
your Roman Polanski
640
00:20:11,172 --> 00:20:12,586
film festival yet or just--
641
00:20:12,689 --> 00:20:14,034
Not-- not at this point.
642
00:20:14,137 --> 00:20:16,000
It'd be interesting to see who
our next controversial speaker
643
00:20:16,103 --> 00:20:17,068
will be.
644
00:20:17,172 --> 00:20:18,655
The opportunities
are going to continue
645
00:20:18,758 --> 00:20:20,724
to present themselves.
646
00:20:20,827 --> 00:20:24,137
But if R. Kelly gets out of
jail, a little bit of advice,
647
00:20:24,241 --> 00:20:25,172
don't have him on.
648
00:20:25,275 --> 00:20:26,206
Got it.
649
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:27,379
[intriguing music]
650
00:20:27,482 --> 00:20:28,724
JORDAN KLEPPER: These
guys are struggling
651
00:20:28,827 --> 00:20:30,379
because they got
pulled into the MAGA
652
00:20:30,482 --> 00:20:31,965
game of racing for clicks.
653
00:20:32,068 --> 00:20:34,586
But unlike the President
of the United States,
654
00:20:34,689 --> 00:20:37,344
they still have a nagging
sense of morality.
655
00:20:37,448 --> 00:20:39,379
So you guys still are
anti-human trafficking?
656
00:20:39,482 --> 00:20:40,758
- 100%.
- 100%.
657
00:20:40,862 --> 00:20:42,620
JORDAN KLEPPER: In fact, most
of the people we talked to
658
00:20:42,724 --> 00:20:45,862
were kids with good
intentions looking for a path,
659
00:20:45,965 --> 00:20:48,689
but were given a playbook
by popular, wealthy right
660
00:20:48,793 --> 00:20:49,965
wing influencers.
661
00:20:50,068 --> 00:20:52,655
So how does the left
compete in this space?
662
00:20:52,758 --> 00:20:55,000
Is there a Joe
Rogan on the left?
663
00:20:55,103 --> 00:20:56,000
Oh, God.
664
00:20:56,103 --> 00:20:57,137
JORDAN KLEPPER:
After the break.
665
00:21:01,827 --> 00:21:03,551
JORDAN KLEPPER: The
spaces for young people,
666
00:21:03,655 --> 00:21:05,965
both physically and
online, are dominated
667
00:21:06,068 --> 00:21:07,758
by right wing personalities.
668
00:21:07,862 --> 00:21:10,931
The Tates, the Kirks, the
Whites are all present in a way
669
00:21:11,034 --> 00:21:12,620
that the left just isn't.
670
00:21:12,724 --> 00:21:14,310
It's gotten to
the point where
671
00:21:14,413 --> 00:21:18,448
the left has absolutely no
relationship to this audience.
672
00:21:18,551 --> 00:21:19,655
Period.
673
00:21:19,758 --> 00:21:22,482
What if they try, I
don't know, sponsorships?
674
00:21:22,586 --> 00:21:25,793
UFC 315 sponsored by
Planned Parenthood.
675
00:21:25,896 --> 00:21:26,896
I think that's a mistake.
676
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,068
There's just--
the young men are
677
00:21:28,172 --> 00:21:31,103
being radicalized
through this process,
678
00:21:31,206 --> 00:21:33,034
and it's like, that can't--
679
00:21:33,137 --> 00:21:34,344
that can't be the answer.
680
00:21:34,448 --> 00:21:35,896
Don't just look around
and be like, well, this
681
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,068
is a terrible problem
and it seems intractable,
682
00:21:38,172 --> 00:21:39,931
I guess I'll just walk
away and like, you know,
683
00:21:40,034 --> 00:21:41,517
I'll see what happens later.
684
00:21:41,620 --> 00:21:44,000
Dude, bad shit will
happen if you do that.
685
00:21:44,103 --> 00:21:45,965
Democrats, get in
the fucking ring.
686
00:21:46,068 --> 00:21:48,379
Get in the fucking
ring, you bitches.
687
00:21:48,482 --> 00:21:51,482
JORDAN KLEPPER: One person who
is in the ring is Hasan Piker.
688
00:21:51,586 --> 00:21:54,000
Piker has 2.8 million
followers on the streaming
689
00:21:54,103 --> 00:21:55,068
platform Twitch.
690
00:21:55,172 --> 00:21:56,896
He manages to work
out like a bro
691
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,724
and have intellectual
sit-downs with Bernie and AOC.
692
00:22:00,827 --> 00:22:03,517
All this has liberal
media asking if he is
693
00:22:03,620 --> 00:22:05,068
the connection to the youth.
694
00:22:05,172 --> 00:22:07,689
I'll follow you on
Instagram and see you talking
695
00:22:07,793 --> 00:22:09,379
about what's
happening in the news,
696
00:22:09,482 --> 00:22:10,551
but also see you working out.
697
00:22:10,655 --> 00:22:11,862
Like, you also
are communicating
698
00:22:11,965 --> 00:22:13,137
to people through working out.
699
00:22:13,241 --> 00:22:14,206
Yeah, through grunts.
700
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:15,862
How do you see the
left communicating with,
701
00:22:15,965 --> 00:22:20,103
like, young men in this--
this time of the manosphere?
702
00:22:20,206 --> 00:22:22,965
The left could, I
don't know, talk to dudes
703
00:22:23,068 --> 00:22:24,000
without vilifying them.
704
00:22:24,103 --> 00:22:26,103
There's a lot of
anger, resentment,
705
00:22:26,206 --> 00:22:28,068
not having any
hope for a future,
706
00:22:28,172 --> 00:22:31,551
never being able to retire,
never being able to own a home.
707
00:22:31,655 --> 00:22:35,482
All of those things are-- are
very much of the core identity
708
00:22:35,586 --> 00:22:37,482
for-- for the next generation.
709
00:22:37,586 --> 00:22:39,034
JORDAN KLEPPER: The left
needs to face the fact
710
00:22:39,137 --> 00:22:41,620
that for the youth of
America, what is appealing
711
00:22:41,724 --> 00:22:43,862
is not a moral
superiority, but it's
712
00:22:43,965 --> 00:22:47,103
fun shit like swords,
anime, and taking
713
00:22:47,206 --> 00:22:48,793
down the billionaire class.
714
00:22:48,896 --> 00:22:51,172
I represent the
feelings and opinions
715
00:22:51,275 --> 00:22:54,689
of a lot of people that are
just like, you can have fun,
716
00:22:54,793 --> 00:22:55,931
it's OK to have fun.
717
00:22:56,034 --> 00:22:59,310
How do you balance
being a mature adult
718
00:22:59,413 --> 00:23:04,206
and also embrace anime boobs?
719
00:23:04,310 --> 00:23:06,206
I mean, anime
boobs are awesome.
720
00:23:06,310 --> 00:23:07,482
[chuckles]
721
00:23:07,586 --> 00:23:09,827
Is that sort of the line
that the left needs to walk?
722
00:23:09,931 --> 00:23:11,103
Yeah, I--
723
00:23:11,206 --> 00:23:13,482
I think people should
get health care
724
00:23:13,586 --> 00:23:17,172
and also I like watching anime.
725
00:23:17,275 --> 00:23:20,137
Sometimes it has boobs
in it, and that's cool.
726
00:23:20,241 --> 00:23:21,275
This is very confusing.
727
00:23:21,379 --> 00:23:23,241
How is Cory Booker
supposed to navigate this?
728
00:23:23,344 --> 00:23:24,655
The Democrats are never
going to reach out
729
00:23:24,758 --> 00:23:26,068
to a younger
generation if they have
730
00:23:26,172 --> 00:23:27,241
to understand these nuances.
731
00:23:27,344 --> 00:23:28,275
Yeah.
732
00:23:28,379 --> 00:23:29,275
Well, you're not wrong.
733
00:23:29,379 --> 00:23:30,482
["THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER"
PLAYING]
734
00:23:30,586 --> 00:23:31,896
JORDAN KLEPPER: In
the end, young people
735
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,103
just want what everybody wants,
leaders who connect with them.
736
00:23:35,206 --> 00:23:36,206
That's the good news.
737
00:23:36,310 --> 00:23:38,379
The bad news is there's
a lot of these guys
738
00:23:38,482 --> 00:23:39,551
lurking out there.
739
00:23:39,655 --> 00:23:41,793
So while the left
searches for ways to reach
740
00:23:41,896 --> 00:23:43,448
out to the voters, they lost.
741
00:23:43,551 --> 00:23:46,379
I'll do my best to
bring peace and harmony
742
00:23:46,482 --> 00:23:51,482
[SINGING]: O'er
the land of the free
743
00:23:51,586 --> 00:23:57,551
and the home of the brave.
744
00:23:57,655 --> 00:23:58,689
We've got to
take this on tour.
745
00:23:58,793 --> 00:24:00,275
I was gonna say, do you
know any Woody Guthrie?
746
00:24:00,379 --> 00:24:01,275
[chuckles]
747
00:24:01,379 --> 00:24:02,517
No
