If you can’t even muster up the manhood to support killing our enemies, what the hell use are you? Seriously. Right now we’re in a war against goat-molesting psychopaths who have been trying to murder us for 50 years, but a few new members of our coalition – not a huge number, but very loud and stupid about their loud stupidity – have become emotionally incontinent about the fact that what Donald Trump is doing is hard. We need to be really clear about Donald Trump’s gambit re: Iran. He’s a freaking hero. This is a guy who stood up and risked his political capital on doing something he’s never going to get any credit for. Do you think in 10 years he’s going to be praised for this? He will have neutered Iran as a threat, meaning that the worst-case scenario isn’t going to happen. People aren’t going to see the consequences of globalist inaction because of his action. They will forget because the Iranian dog didn’t bark because Trump treated it like Kristi Noem treated Cricket.
This might be the most selfless political act we’ve ever seen. Like I said, “Hero.”
And yet, a bunch of weak-willed losers purportedly on our side have decided that this war is icky. It offends their feminine sensibilities. Yeah, gas is up a buck a gallon. Yeah, your 401(k), and mine, have gone down. But you know what? We’re not going to see a mushroom cloud rising over an American city as a pack of seventh-century semi-human pagans with names from the Tatooine phonebook try to usher in the apocalypse. That’s undeniably good. That’s undeniably awesome. And that’s undeniably an IQ test for our side.
If you’re not supporting the president, what the hell is wrong with you?
Now, I’m here talking to Townhall VIPs, so you’re probably with me and, incidentally, America. I’m talking to committed folks, mostly those dreaded boomers – you know, the people who actually built lives and careers, and have competently provided for themselves. You’re the ones I’m hoping to see accompany us on our Townhall cruise this November, where we will dissect the situation and own the libs in detail – ahoy! But the point is that we are different from that bunch of Millennial/Gen Z podcast misfits who have done almost nothing in their lives yet choose to bless us with the full benefit of their inexperience.
Look at these guys. Some are glib, some are entertaining. But most are just some bro with a mic and some thotz. Not “thoughts.” Thotz. You have a few who were MMA athletes. A couple did TV shows or stand-up comedy gigs. But do you see any of them doing anything else? Be in the Army, build a company, know stuff? Their job is talking, and they do talk. I’m not against talking. I talk. But I’ve also done stuff. I’ve been places. I’ve seen things. And the entire breadth of my experience is more than just experiencing emotions and then running my fool mouth about them.
In 2024, we formed a coalition with these guys, and that’s OK. We had a lot in common, and we still do. But what we don’t have in common with them is weakness and cowardice. We differ on the idea that America should somehow submit to every goat-diddler from the dismal regions of the Earth with an attitude and a ballistic missile.
Oh, and we’re also not obsessed with Jews – if I hear one more idiot talking about “I’m not dying for Israel,” I think I’m going to lose it. The fact is, these guys wouldn’t die for America, or anything else. They’re weak and soft, believing in nothing except maximizing their feelings and their clicks. The podcast bros are teenage girls, and instead of scribbling away in their dream journals, they grab a microphone and shout cliches into the ether. It’s embarrassing, but somewhere along the line, mankind apparently evolved away from having a shame gene. These idiots are making fools of themselves, and they don’t even know it.
But we know it.
This doesn’t make me happy because I personally like some of them. I’ve hung out with a few of them, and they’re OK, but they’re essentially children, and they should be treated that way – seen and not heard, and probably not seen, either. They want to make it a generational thing, as if those of us who have actually lived lives past age 35 are somehow the problem. Actually, we’re the solution, because we have a track record of success while they have fetishized their generational failure. All they talk about is “You damn boomers,” and they are right that they have caught some hard breaks. But they’ve also been born into the freest and most prosperous nation in human history – you’re welcome, kids.
Look, I’m a boomer by exactly one week, by the way, though I identify as Gen X, but whatever. They’re not that picky about it because they’re not that precise about anything. It’s just whatever they feel all the time. That’s why most of them used to be Democrats. Yeah, they were all down with Obama, and then the Democrats did some things that offended them and, to their credit, they came around, but at heart, they’re bleeding hearts.
Look at Joe Rogan. He’s all upset about Iran because it’s aesthetically displeasing to blow the living crap out of people. Well, at least to him. But that’s not the only thing he’s soft about. He voted for Donald Trump, who said very clearly, “Hey, I’m going to get rid of illegal aliens.” This is just like when Trump said he’d never let Iran get the bomb. He was clear on that, too. Yet Rogan et al. are acting shocked. You can’t say you were fooled if someone told you the truth and you were just too dumb or stubborn to listen. ICE is out there locking up every third-world migrant with a sob story and her head in the welfare state feeding trough, and they are wetting their collective panties over it. “Oh no, it’s mean. They’re throwing out all these nice people.” Boo-hoo.
They want to play hard and tough, but when it comes to throwing a punch, they can’t do it. And it’s weird because Rogan was an MMA dude, yet the second some Guatemalan mommy starts crying because she can’t stay here for another dozen years since her due process ended with a deportation order, we can’t do anything. It’s all talk – girl talk, about feelz and hugging. Ugh.
You don’t want change unless you do what is consistent with creating change, and what’s consistent with creating change is taking actions that are going to make people sad. The Left understands this. It knows that a lot of our coalition is weak and soft and subject to having their heartstrings plucked. Us boomers and Gen X don’t have hearts, but the younger generations do, and that makes them vulnerable. Oh, not all of them. Some of those Millennials and Gen Z types are stone killers. They want to rock the mic and perpetrate and slay all suckers state to state. But not the ones in front of the podcast microphones. They are moral illiterates. “Boo-hoo, the Palestinians are sad. How could all this happen to them? All they did was go on a giant rape and murder spree! We can’t possibly support our ally punishing them for doing that – it’s aesthetically displeasing, and besides, they’re, well, you know, Jewish.”
I’m so tired of it. And I hope you’re tired of it. But we got to talk about it. I’ll see you on the Townhall cruise because you know we’re going to be getting into it in detail.
