00:00:00
Democrats still wanted a Joe Rogan.
00:00:02
Scott, since their loss in November,
00:00:03
donor retreats and pitch documents have
00:00:06
been full of asks for rich backers to
00:00:07
contribute to the party's efforts to
00:00:09
develop an army of influencers. Should
00:00:11
they try to do this? It seems kind of
00:00:12
silly. It's sort of like making fetch
00:00:14
happen. I do think podcasts are
00:00:16
increasing their influence. And I've
00:00:17
said that I think our revenues are going
00:00:19
to grow dramatically because I think
00:00:20
political candidates are going to start
00:00:22
transferring money from local news
00:00:23
stations to podcasts based on Trump's
00:00:26
genius move to go right into podcasting.
00:00:28
But I think the left needs to be much
00:00:30
more organized. What the Republican
00:00:32
party does really well is the
00:00:35
synchronicity between their think tanks,
00:00:37
their media, their podcasters, and their
00:00:39
candidates. Whereas the Democrats, we're
00:00:41
still waring with each other. We're
00:00:42
still saying, "Oh, you're my ally, but I
00:00:44
don't like the way you're holding the
00:00:45
gun. I want to be more coordinated
00:00:47
around organizing with other kind of
00:00:49
what I'll call like-minded podcast."
00:00:51
Yes, this is what I talked to you about.
00:00:53
this idea of bringing us all together,
00:00:54
promote each other, highlight great
00:00:56
candidates, and also highlighting some
00:00:58
of the grift that we're constantly
00:01:00
seeing. You're right. You're absolutely
00:01:02
right. I don't think we have to create a
00:01:03
Joe Rogan. That's not what we want. Give
00:01:05
messages of hope and give messages of
00:01:08
these guys are crooks over and over and
00:01:10
over again.
