They had just staked so much of the reputation on something and it blew up. And also, thanks to COVID, that's really what created the impetus for building so many more alternative institutions for communicating with people. That's what helped Rumble get off the ground, for example. And within a few years, Rumble was a thriving ecosystem. And it also, I think...

The excesses of 2020, I think, are what also prompted Elon Musk to say, I'm going to buy Twitter. And obviously, him liberating Twitter in 2022, as he did, paved the way for so much of what we've been able to accomplish over the past two years. So I think it's really, throughout, it was the hubris and the excess of those in power that drove a lot of what happened.

It's kind of like I was saying, I don't think – he's still – Probably would have pulled it off, but I sometimes wonder, would Donald Trump have faded away if they had just let it alone? If they'd said, we're going to stop talking about him, he's banned from everything, and just never report on him. CNN doesn't cover him. New York Times doesn't talk about him. We don't charge him.

Just let him go away. And instead they said, no, we have to throw Donald Trump in prison. We have to charge him. We have to raid Mar-a-Lago. And it was when they did that, it was when they raided Mar-a-Lago and dropped those charges that it made the Republican primary a total formality, and it was over. And they did that to themselves. We could not make them do that. They had to do it themselves.

And they did, and that really got everyone bonded together, and it laid out clearly what the stakes were, and I think it played a central role in us getting where we are today.

Exactly. It's Project 2025. We can talk about whatever we want. And what we want to talk about is deranged, deranged content discovered on the greatest source of soy on the Internet, which is Reddit dot com. So this was posted again. I should clarify. This is not me. This is a post somebody made and compiled online.

It's kind of weird. Are you sure? Some people are going to be confused, and they're going to send you emails, and they're going to be like, why did you let Blake say that? That's disgusting. Anyway, so this went viral a few weeks ago, but it was sent to me the other day by a friend. And this was posted originally as a seeking advice thread on their relationships forum on Reddit.

This is a 42-year-old woman with a 42-year-old husband. My husband has informed me he intends to go on a, quote, gaycation with his brother-in-law in Ibiza. Ibiza. That's a fancy island getaway place. How do I handle this? And it's very long. I cannot read the whole thing. But the context is this is a woman in Britain and her husband approaches her out of nowhere.

And he says that he pulled out a printed poster and started explaining to me, this is the woman saying, the concept of a gaycation. It's where straight men go somewhere with, quote, sun, sand, and booze and become gay for the duration of the trip. But that's fine because it doesn't actually count because, quote, what happens on the gaycation stays on the gaycation.

And the wife rather reasonably asks, quote, Okay, are you gay? Because if you are, we need to talk about what that means. And he says, no. No, he's not. Quote, that's the beauty of the gaycation. It's temporary. It means nothing. He's actually 100% attracted to women, he says. But he needs to experience gayness. And the comparison he makes is, it's like going to an aquarium.
