Democrats still wanted a Joe Rogan. Scott, since their loss in November, donor retreats and pitch documents have
00:00:06
been full of asks for rich backers to contribute to the party's efforts to develop an army of influencers. Should
00:00:11
they try to do this? It seems kind of silly. It's sort of like making fetch happen. I do think podcasts are
00:00:16
increasing their influence. And I've said that I think our revenues are going to grow dramatically because I think
00:00:20
political candidates are going to start transferring money from local news stations to podcasts based on Trump's
00:00:26
genius move to go right into podcasting. But I think the left needs to be much more organized. What the Republican
00:00:32
party does really well is the synchronicity between their think tanks, their media, their podcasters, and their
00:00:39
candidates. Whereas the Democrats, we're still waring with each other. We're still saying, "Oh, you're my ally, but I
00:00:44
don't like the way you're holding the gun. I want to be more coordinated around organizing with other kind of
00:00:49
what I'll call like-minded podcast." Yes, this is what I talked to you about. this idea of bringing us all together,
00:00:54
promote each other, highlight great candidates, and also highlighting some of the grift that we're constantly
00:01:00
seeing. You're right. You're absolutely right. I don't think we have to create a
00:01:03
Joe Rogan. That's not what we want. Give messages of hope and give messages of these guys are crooks over and over and
00:01:10
over again.
