Chapter 1: Why is TikTok a game-changer for the 2024 campaigns?
I'm in favor of TikTok. TikTok was a great platform for us in this campaign cycle. I don't necessarily believe the narrative is being spun up about the dangers of it, if you will, because I know how this city works. The TikTok is a threat narrative came out just two weeks after or two weeks before Instagram launched Instagram Reels.
Chapter 2: What are the key benefits of TikTok in political campaigns?
All right, guys, we got Alex here, advisor to President Trump and CEO of X Strategies. Thanks for hopping on, man. We're in DC.
Thanks for having me on, man. It's great to be with you. Is this home for you? It's not home, fortunately. Second home. Yes, you can call it that. But yeah, I live in Palm Beach, Florida now, and I've been down there for about five years. I love it, man. You've had a busy four years, this campaign. Yeah, actually busy eight years.
100%, 100%.
I think this was the first time in decades that the American people got to choose between two presidents running against each other that they both lived under. So the decision was very simple. Was life better under Donald Trump or under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? And everybody with a functioning brain said it was better under Donald Trump, and that's why he's back.
I mean, you saw it with the results. The left would make these nuanced debates of random stuff. But overall, was your life better or not? Yeah.

Chapter 3: How do TikTok and Instagram compare in political messaging?
And they also have terrible like salespeople like the Democrats who's selling like selling their vision. Have you ever looked at these people? I mean, have you ever looked at Tim Walls, for example, and thought, wow, that guy's inspiring? It's not me. I don't get the inspirational feel from Tim Walls. I feel like I probably wouldn't leave. If I had kids, I wouldn't leave my kids with Tim Walls.
That's like my personal feeling. But their people are very bizarre. And I talked about this a couple of days ago that their candidate quality is probably the worst it's ever been. And I look at their bench and who's their talent? I don't think they have any talent. They thought AOC was going to be their rising star. She's totally fizzled out. She has no sway the way she used to.
Obama has almost no pull. We saw that. He was out there every day campaigning against Trump, and he did... Absolutely nothing to help Kamala, maybe even hurt Kamala because he went and lectured black men and said, you have to vote for Kamala because she's black. So he's totally obsolete. So I look at the Democrat Party right now. They have no talent. And we have a lot of talent. Absolutely.
Chapter 4: What controversies are surrounding Instagram and TikTok?
Your next guest. After me, she's very talented.
Chapter 5: How has California's leadership affected its residents?
Exactly. And you even got Newsom struggling. His leadership is being questioned, especially with how we handle the fire situation, right? Yeah.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of DEI strategies in the current administration?
And the idea that Newsom was ever a contender to begin with is beyond me. I love California. I love Los Angeles. I spent a lot of time in Los Angeles. Even after the campaign, I spent like 40 days straight in LA. I love it out there. It's the most beautiful place, maybe even in our entire country. But the way that state's been run under Newsom is a travesty.
Chapter 7: What future trends can we expect from social media in campaigns?
They are so blessed with natural resources, natural beauty, the ocean. And they totally took that state and ran to the ground with insane taxes, insane woke policies. They spent billions of dollars building homeless shelters and housing. And homelessness in California has only gotten worse. These people are totally incompetent. put that on national display.
I think it's the final straw for a lot of people. I think a lot of people are going to move out. I mean, no water and fire hydrants. How can that be? Yeah, it's it blows my mind.
Chapter 8: How does Alex view the quality of Democratic candidates?
It's just sheer incompetence. You know, something that I question is, you know, there's something called the Pacific Ocean at your doorstep. And so when you have these reporters and you have these politicians saying that California is out of water and then you look out your window and there's the most beautiful ocean you'll ever see.
There's been no creativity or ingenuity in how to desalinate the water that's in the Pacific and build reserves. It blows my mind that we are in such a blessed country and we have such blessed resources and our politicians don't know how to use them. So I'm hopeful that we can figure out how we can better take care of
California absolutely forward I mean if I'm paying that 15% state tax I want the best government stuff at my disposal and you know on your way you're gonna make a lot more money and you're gonna be paying a lot more in taxes but um you know some people I think 30 percent um in in some situations so or even higher so it's uh terrible how that state's been managed and run um and when you know all these people have lose their homes in uh in this fire and they pay all of these taxes and then
The taxes, where do they go for it? And then you see the fire chief in LA County, no experience in combating fire.
