Team Trump’s Media Strategy Is A Game Changer For Future Of Politics

Make America ‘Cowboy’ Again: ‘Yellowstone’ star wants Americans to get out and VOTE
A true cowboy takes his hat off before dinner, in honor of the meal before him and the people who have provided it.
Forrie J. Smith from the hit show “Yellowstone” is one of these true blue cowboys with deep rancher roots, and he has some serious wisdom to impart to Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Podcast” — as well as the rest of the country.
When Smith was a kid, he helped his grandfather take care of their cattle. However, he wasn’t so sure what the point of it all was.
“He looks at me with, ‘Well, son, we’re helping feed America. We’re helping feed our country,’ and that’s kind of the cowboy culture right there,” he tells Glenn. “We’re helping feed our country, we’re maintaining the grass and rotating our pasture to keep everything right.”
While there’s no doubt there’s an incredibly important purpose to the jobs of ranchers and farmers, the government has repeatedly attempted to hurt them through absurd rules and regulations — and it’s only getting worse.
“Another thing, Glenn, that really gets me is the cow farts,” Smith says. “We used to have 60 million buffalo and no telling how many elk running across the plains.”
“And they were farting animals,” Glenn laughs, though he notes that bison aren’t just good for farts. “There are no pure bison except in Yellowstone, and it’s my understanding that they sometimes thin the herd, and they just kill them instead of giving them to ranches so we can have pure-bred buffalo. The only pure buffalo or bison is owned by the government.”
“All of these people going hungry,” Smith says, disturbed. “It’s about one of the best meats you can eat.”
Not only is the government cracking down on meat born, raised, and butchered in the United States, but more of our meat is now coming from outside the country.
“30% of our beef now comes out of Brazil,” Smith explains. “We don’t know what has been done to it, you know, what did they inject in it before it got butchered, how are they butchering it, we have no clue.”
But it’s not just the agriculture industry that has Smith worried.
“I’m really scared of what’s going to happen after the election,” he tells Glenn. “I get around the country a lot more than I used to, and I’m meeting a lot of people and I talk to them about voting. And they’re like, ‘I ain't voting any more; I’m just buying more bullets.’”
“That’s one of the things that’s wrong with this country right now, is people don’t stand up. We just keep getting along,” he continues, adding, “I just want to spread that feeling: ‘Hey, we’re Americans.'”

Joe Rogan reveals whether VP Harris will be interviewed on his podcast
Popular podcast host Joe Rogan revealed earlier this week Vice President Kamala Harris has not officially said no to being interviewed on his show, but the sticking points to scheduling the interview have been some of her campaign's conditions for doing it.
Rogan posted the full episode of his interview with former President Donald Trump on his X account late Monday night. He did so after some reportedly had difficulty finding it on YouTube on Monday, even when searching very specific keywords on the platform. Searching for it on Tuesday now brings the correct episode.
Trump and Vance have done a wide range of podcast interviews with popular hosts such as Theo Von, Tucker Carlson, and the Nelk Boys.
After posting the video, Rogan addressed rumors about possibly interviewing Harris as well. According to Rogan, Harris' campaign said he could interview her on Tuesday but that "I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour." Trump's interview with Rogan lasted for nearly three hours, which is a common episode length.
"I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin. My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen," Rogan concluded.
It was then reported Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, will go on Rogan's podcast sometime this week. The episode will be released before Election Day.
Trump and Vance, while still doing traditional media interviews, have done a wide range of podcast interviews with popular hosts such as Theo Von, Tucker Carlson, and the Nelk Boys. The strategy is to showcase the candidates in an unfiltered and unedited format, which has been a weakness for Harris as she seemingly wants to have highly produced and scripted appearances on the campaign trail.
The shows are also popular with males, a critical voting bloc that supports Trump but that may be less likely to vote. His campaign hopes these appearances will motivate those male supporters to go to the polls.
Rogan's interview with Trump has received over 37 million views on YouTube. Harris' interview with Charlamagne tha God almost two weeks ago has under 600,000 views.

Trump says Joe Rogan interview will happen: 'I'm doing it'
President Donald Trump suggested on the Monday episode of the "Full Send Podcast" that he would soon appear on "The Joe Rogan Experience" to speak with the titular host.
While the Republican has appeared on a number of popular podcasts in recent weeks, a sit-down with Rogan would undoubtedly help maximize his reach. Rogan's show is in the top three podcasts on Spotify, which is the top U.S. podcast network, and Rogan's show boasts over 17.4 million subscribers on YouTube.
"Full Send Podcast" host Kyle Forgeard said to Trump, "You're doing a lot of podcasts recently. One that I would love to see you on is — I think Joe Rogan has to have you on." Forgeard then asked, "Would you do that?"
"Oh, sure I would," said Trump. "I mean I think I'm doing it, actually."
Forgeard pressed the Republican for clarification, "So you are going to do Joe Rogan?"
"Yeah, I am," said Trump.
After Forgeard suggested that Rogan's massive popularity is the result, in part, of his illumination of corruption during the pandemic, Trump noted that Rogan is a "good guy" with a "good voice."
The Daily Beast indicated that neither the Trump campaign nor a Rogan representative responded immediately to its requests for comment.
While there has not been an official response from Rogan or his team, the Joe Rogan Podcast account posed the question Saturday, "Do you want to see @realDonaldTrump on the podcast?"
At the time of publication, the post had received over 480,000 likes and the comments were overwhelmingly supportive.
Days prior to the poll, Elon Musk said definitively, "It will happen."
The Joe Rogan Podcast X account subsequently shared an article referring to Trump's possible appearance on the show.
Rogan has long downplayed the possibility of having President Donald Trump on his podcast. He told Lex Fridman in July 2022, for instance, "I'm not a Trump supporter in any way, shape, or form. I've had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once; I've said no every time."
'It would be interesting to hear his perspective on a lot of things.'
"I think you'll have him on," responded Fridman, citing Kanye West as an example of a guest Rogan had a good conversation with despite possible earlier skepticism.
Rogan said, "Yeah, but Kanye's an artist. Kanye doing well or not doing well doesn't change the course of our country."
Rogan, who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2020 and signaled he would back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) were he to go the distance in 2024, has sporadically defended Trump in the time since while also softening his position about not doing an interview.
Patrick Bet-David pressed the issue last year, asking if it might happen. Rogan told the entrepreneur, "Maybe. Maybe."
"It would be interesting to hear his perspective on a lot of things," Rogan told Bet-David. "I would like to know: What is it like when you actually get into office? I would like to know things like what is like versus perception. What is it actually like when you get in that building? ... When do you know that people are f***ing with you? When do you know that the intelligence agency's lying to you?"
In a September interview with Fridman, Trump indicated that he was unaware there was "any tension" between Rogan and himself, noting, "I've always liked him, but I don't know him."
"I only see him when I walk into the arena with Dana [White], and I shake his hand," said Trump. "I see him there, and I think he's good at what he does, but I don't know about doing his podcast. I guess I'd do it, but I haven't been asked, and I'm not asking them. I'm not asking anybody."
Trump characterized Rogan as a "liberal guy, I guess," but alluded to possible common ground.
"He likes [Robert F.] Kennedy," said Trump. "Bobby's going to be great. But I like that he likes Kennedy."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed Trump on Aug. 23, indicating that in a second Trump administration, he would have the opportunity to help "Make America Healthy Again."

Breaking out of ‘the matrix’: The next generation of homesteaders rejecting ‘an unreliable system’
When 23-year-old “Gubba” saw the empty shelves during the COVID-19 pandemic, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
The city girl turned homesteader ditched life in Portland and traded ultra-processed foods, pharmaceuticals, and a desk job for 38 acres of farmland — where she is learning to become self-sufficient.
“The fridges were barren; the freezers were barren. People were going crazy, fighting over bags of dried beans. And I still remember staring at those empty shelves, and I said, ‘What am I doing here? I am relying on a system that breaks so easily. I have become dependent on this unreliable system,’” Gubba tells Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Podcast.”
“I said, ‘I am never going to find myself in this situation ever again.’ So that’s what really spurred me and, I think, started to really awaken a lot of other people,” she adds.
While Gubba found herself on expansive acreage to live out her homesteading dreams, she tells Glenn that “you do not need land to become self-sufficient.”
“The best place to start is in your kitchen, cooking from scratch, having a little window cell garden, and learning these skills,” she says. But it’s not just the food supply that has Gubba thriving in her more holistic lifestyle but the effects it’s had on her health — as well as her animals.
“I’m nourishing with proper minerals and vitamins, I’m getting sunshine, I’m getting my vitamin D, I am properly keeping myself stress-free so I don’t have negativity in my life that is bringing me down energetically. So I am keeping myself healthy,” she tells Glenn.
“I even feed my dogs raw dog food, and I support my local butcher by buying from them, or I even go and dumpster-dive from them,” she explains. “Look at the cancer rates in animals just skyrocketing on kibble. Go look at the kibble, and it’s soy and it’s cornmeal and its byproducts.”
“There’s constant recalls on their kibble because animals are dying and it’s being covered up. So this is interesting because it’s not only our food system that’s being profited on but also our pets' food system. And that makes me even more sad because they don’t have a voice,” Gubba says, noting that she gets a box of organs from her local butcher for 80 cents a pound to feed her dogs.
“If you just go to your local area, and you start looking around, you can find these sources too like I am,” she adds.

Max Lucado talks ends times: 'People don’t know what’s about to happen'
“Four out of 10 Americans believe we are living in the end times,” says Glenn Beck, adding that he’s “one of those four.”
Considering the growing globalist agenda, the endless warring, the focus on Israel, and the fact that debauchery of every kind has become commonplace, it’s not surprising that so many believe we’re nearing the end.
Glenn invited best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado onto “The Glenn Beck Podcast” to discuss how Christians can prepare for what Lucado calls “the fourth quarter.”
Lucado, who says he’s “never tackled this topic” before, just published a book in August called “What Happens Next: A Traveler’s Guide Through the End of This Age.”
He gives “two big reasons” for venturing into a subject he’s otherwise avoided.
“Number one, I’m getting old. … And then number two, not only am I curious about the future, I'm really concerned about the present. These are really severe times in which we find ourselves,” he tells Glenn. “It's going to get crazy before the end, but we're getting close to the end.”
“What are the signs that you say we should be looking for?” asks Glenn.
According to Lucado, the most important sign — “the super sign,” he calls it — is “the regathering of the children of Israel to the land of Israel,” which already happened in May 1948.
The second sign of encroaching end times is that Israel will be “surrounded and circled by its enemies.”
“That's a part of the news every day,” says Lucado.
Another sign is “wars and rumors of war,” says Glenn, adding that “[America is] in the rumor of war right now.”
According to the teachings of Jesus, says Lucado, more end times signs include “economic turmoil,” “seismic activity,” “persecution of Christians,” “political conflict,” “famines, pestilences, pandemics, ethnic conflicts, false prophets,” and “fearful signs.”
“When you compile all of those signs, it sounds like the daily news,” says Lucado.
“Except for the super sign [the restoration of Israel’s homeland], haven't we had those same signs before?” asks Glenn.
Indeed we have. Glenn points to Nazi Germany as an example.
However, according to Lucado, the fact that the super sign has already come to pass gives a heightened meaning to the other signs we’re currently watching unfold.
“I do not know the hour, but I do think all of these signs are increasing in intensity and frequency,” he says and points to the scripture that calls these signs “labor pains” that warn of what is to come.
“We've never seen Israel surrounded and threatened in such a fashion like this,” says Lucado.
“We haven’t seen this kind of evil,” adds Glenn, pointing to the re-emergence of “really old pagan rituals” and “the sacrifice of our children” as examples of the depravity.
Lucado also points to the gender confusion that’s become a defining issue of our time.
“22% of teenagers in 2021 literally considered orchestrating their own departures — committing suicide,” he says. “These are tragic times in which we live, and I cannot help to think that a large reason is that people don't know what's about to happen.”
