Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sheep get
shared podcast. I'm your host Austin create.
I want to welcome you into the show. My friends,
I think we need to have a very serious conversation
about the old school versus the new school. You
might ask, well, Austin, what is the old school
of conservatives? Because with Trump in power,
you're, we're seeing an interesting shift between
the more older, more conservative independence.
slash libertarians, whatever, however you want
to identify the guy, the people who voted for
Trump and the people who didn't. Now in that
list of people that voted for Trump, I'm finding
it very interesting how we're seeing a shift
and maybe that shift was always there, but it's
being exacerbated. Now I'm one there before by
things like the feud between Musk and Trump,
the more con men like pseudo conservatives who
talk about them, Israel, Iran day and night talking
about the Epstein list day and night trying to
provoke you into the, uh, their conspiracy junkies,
the conspiracy junkies, the antisemites, the
warmongers, the moral abs, the moral relativists
in our midst who are really just influencers
who are cashing in on Trump. and the Trump show
day and night. And then you got the older guys,
you got the older guys, because there's a mixed
bag of those influencers I'm talking about. But
then you got the old school guys, the guys on
talk radio guys like. Guys like Sean Hannity,
guys like Mark Levin. Guys like I even say that
Ben Shapiro is kind of on the fence with that
one, but the more old school like. Rush may rest
in peace. Guys, you know, like guys like him,
where they're more old school Republican, check
pants, Republican types who hated Trump for a
while. And so they realized, you know what? Ted
Cruz won't win Ron Paul's kind of history and
rooted tons of anti -semitism in my estimation.
So instead of what they did was they started
to back Trump. They didn't like Trump, but they
said, Trump's probably going to win, so I'd rather
just ride his coattails a little bit. And that's
not just the old school guys. Old school and
new school has done that. But when you look at
this very interesting shift, you have to draw
your own opinions. And for those of you who are
more politically inclined, you probably already
have. But for those of you who are not politically
inclined, you might have not even noticed the
shift between the more new school, which is social
media, X. These more new platforms media versus
the old school, which is more old the old media
the mainstream media talk radio Stuff like that
and there's a very big shift when it comes to
where they line up on what and They're turning
on each other now A lot of people will like an
individual, whether it be like Taylor Swift,
for example, and I'll say Taylor voted for Kamala,
so I'll vote for, you know, the morons. The morons
who fall for cult personalities. They say, I
like this person, so therefore I like who they're
voting for, so I'm going to vote for them. You'd
be surprised how many people fit in that category,
by the way. But I think that more than anything,
you need to look at who these people and... I
mentioned specific names. I don't want to get
hung up on individual people because that could
kind of pigeonhole the conversation. But there
are specific individuals who are hijacking the
movement. They're hijacking Trump and his goals
and our goals as the people who voted for him.
And they're making it about themselves. They're
making it about them. For example, I'll use one
example that I just I can't stand this person
anymore. I used to think they're OK. I hate them
now. despise them. Candace Owens, I despise her.
Why? Because she went from being, you know, a
little bit like, okay, she's doing against the
grain. She's a black woman talking about on the
more conservative side. Okay. You know, you're
the black sheep, lack of a better term. And I'm
interested. Now it's all about, I like Jews.
I like Ben Shapiro and I'm going to go full on
anti -Trump, anti -Israel anti - it's like, who
even are you anymore? All I tasted when I hear
it is just sour grapes. Now, there might be more
to it, but that's all I could see. And then you
got guys who are kind of flirting with the more
anti -Israel pro -Muslim side of things while
pretending to be libertarians, pretending to
be conservatives, pretending to be people who
are more on the pseudo. They're not left wingers,
but they're not really right wingers. They're
more like pseudo independents. where they're
just kind of hijacking the whole thing. They're
hijacking a lot of conservative talking points
and going to flirt with the Muslim side of everything.
Guys like Dan Bilzerian, for example. Guys like
Andrew Tate, for example. And again, I don't
want these people to sue me if they end up listening
to this show, but I'm using them not so much
to attack these people personally, but to use
them as an example of what we're talking about,
which people who are hijacking the movement and
making it about themselves. Magas being put into
a meat grinder and it's being thrown. These people
are being held up as They're they were mag and
now they're not but they say that they are but
that the trumps the problem But they voted for
him. The whole thing is that the gigantic Disgrace,
you know, I gotta give the left wingers credit
I gotta give them credit even though there are
more, you know left select the center people
and then there are complete progressive aka communists
They still back their own even if they don't
like them and They'll deal with them in private
not on any on the internet like Trump and Musk
do for example when they're attacking each other
on social media Full view for everybody to see
it's tearing people apart because they don't
know who to sign with they don't know who's right
But they also got their life They're not paid
to look at this crap. They just skim the headlines
and they're like, I don't know what to agree
with I don't know what to oppose I like Trump
or I like Elon, but now they don't like each
other. Where should I stand on these things?
Most people are not like you. Yes, you listening
to the show. They're not like you what they actually
kind of care about what they care about politics
or they care about what I think about politics.
They care about the pebble in the shoe, as Cicero
called it. Cicero was an older Roman historian.
He wrote about the pebble in the shoe. People
didn't care about an ancient Rome. They didn't
care about where the legions were fighting in
Gaul. They didn't care about what was going on
with the politicians in the Senate. They didn't
care about what the emperor was doing. They didn't
care about what was the stuff that was going
on beyond their control. They cared about the
price of bread. They cared about the price of
wine and they cared about the pebble in their
shoe and how to get rid of it. It was that simple.
That's what they care about. In the same way
that people today, they care about bread and
butter issues. They care about, hey, how am I
going to make ends meet? How am I going to survive?
That's what they care about. Everything else
is grady for most people. That's why when you
hear a lot of politicians talk about economy,
this middle class guy, it's all about the economy.
They know people care about money. So when it
comes to money issues. They are usually on the
same page, but then they'll though verse the
left with the right Like a sharp left turn or
a sharp right turn on the highway. I'll take
a sharp left turn When it comes to issues that
are more polarizing and it's become popular because
it gets clicks It's become popular because people
make a lot of money off of it not because they're
right Not because they're bringing anything original
to the table. They're just stoking the fire.
They're rage baiting They're rage baiting trying
to spark people into being reactionary instead
of trying to provoke Constructive and very important
dialogue. They don't care about that They care
more about their disgruntled They're discontent
They own their money hungry and they want like
a name for themselves. They do it using Trump
and MAGA Elon Musk you name it and then you got
the old -school guys who are the chick pants
boomers, the chick pants, Gen Xers who love to
feel comfortable talking down to Gen Z, love
feeling comfortable talking about how Gen Alpha
is not worth anything. Millennials are lazy.
Gen Z is lazy. The Gen Alpha won't be any different.
Those types, the Oh, look at those damn whippersnappers.
They're ruining everything. We older people,
we had it right. We did everything correct. And
it's these young people that are throwing away
their lives on social media. It's the young people
who are the problem. And then you have the young
people saying the old people are the problem
because the boomers are getting away all their
wealth. They go on a cruise. They're selling
out the Black Rock to get a check to go over
to the Bahamas. And... They bought their house
for $100 ,000 back in 1975, and now it's worth
a million dollars, and they're selling the house.
Instead of building generational wealth, they're
gambling it all away to have a good time. They
said, I worked the plant, I worked the factory,
and now I want to go have fun. I want to be retired.
I want to have fun. So what do they do? They
sell their house to Black Rock for above asking
price, and their grandkids and their kids don't
have that generational wealth. And you look at
the fact that back in the day, in the boomer,
a Gen X generation, the old school that we're
talking about, you could work at the plant, you
could work at the fort plant, and you could have
a car, a house, and 2 .5 kids, and a golden retriever.
But now, you know, two people in Generation Z,
like my generation, working our ass off and we
can barely afford to live anywhere. I have anything.
And they want to sit there and say, oh, they're
just lazy. No, your wife could stay at home.
Our wives can't do that. Our girlfriends can't
do that. That's why a lot of people are being
priced out in the daily market. See, everything
is connected. My friends, that's what you got
to realize. Why am I talking about politics?
Because everything is connected. It's the spinal
cord. Everything is connected to the political
world. That's why everything has become so highly
politicized, highly polarizing. It's all interwoven,
interconnected. You can't have one without the
other. Money. Thought. Politics, it's all interconnected
into the big melting pot of America. That's why
it's so important to us. That's why it's important
to me. I'll make it about me. My show. I'll make
it about me. That's why it's important to me.
I hope it's important to you. Because if we don't
understand... where our information is coming
from. If we don't care about where these old
school people, new school people, whether they
be on the left, right or center or totally off
the grid and totally off to look, you know, far
left or far right. We need to know why people
are doing this. It's about money because money
and power are one in the same. Power is only
as good as long as it lasts. Money lasts a hundred
One of my favorite shows is called House of Cards
with Kevin Spacey. I know Kevin Spacey's not
not a great person, but he's a great actor. And
one of the best performances I've ever seen him
do was in this show called House of Cards. And
in the show, he plays a guy named Frank Underwood,
and he's a congressman from, I believe, South
Carolina. And what he does is he he works his
way up the food chain, but he has these little
like fourth wall breaks. where he talks to the
camera, to you, the audience, to me, and he's
explaining why he's making the choices he's making
and why he does what he does and how he does
it. And one of the things he famously says in
the show is about power versus money. He says
that money is the new beachfront mansion that
starts falling apart after 25 years, whereas
power is that cobblestone Romanesque palace that
lasts for centuries. And I agree with him to
an extent, but here's the one thing that I think
we need to fixate on. Power is only as good,
power is better than money as long as it lasts.
But if you can't keep the power, money is the
next best thing. And so when you look at it,
influence is power. The ability to mobilize people
and manipulate them is power. So when we look
at that and we look at the old school and the
new school and how they're fighting for influence,
they're buying for you, your thoughts, your money,
your emotions, your time. That's what they're
fighting for. They want you to believe them.
They want you to be focused on conspiracies.
Trump's right all the time about everything,
whatever it is, whatever their bread, whatever
their schtick is they want you to be distracted
away from doing what I think you should do, which
is think for yourself. That's why I call this
show sheep. The sheep get shared podcast because
sheep used to get slaughtered, but now the politicians
are so smart, the wolves are so smart that instead
of slaughtering you for a one time use, they
come back. Every season every so often to sheer
you take everything from you and leave you then
come back once you have more That is what we're
living in in this landscape Both political and
non -political the wolves don't just take one
single appearance The wolves aren't just found
in Washington The wolves are found everywhere
from Wall Street to Washington to your local
Walmart. They're everywhere and You need to be
aware That it's not going to show up as a, oh,
here's my fork and my knife and I'm going to
eat you for dinner. It's a no. They're going
to come there and take your stuff. They're going
to take your time. They're going to take your
wealth. They're going to take your emotions.
And then eventually they're going to leave you
and come back or another wolf finds you and try
to do the same thing again. And this, my friends,
is why you need to be aware of who you listen
to, why you're listening. Are you falling for
rage bait? or are you actively trying to better
yourself, educating yourself, understanding why
you're in the situations you're in and how you
got there and why you're still there and how
you can get out. All these things are important.
They all play a role in you being a productive
citizen of the world and doing something to better
your life, not pad someone else's pocketbook,
but do what's right for yourself and the people
you care about. That's what matters. Not caring
about what some schmuck thinks about Israel or
Iran. Not what some moron thinks about Ukraine
or Russia. I mean those things matter, don't
get me wrong. But it's not the end of the story.
Who cares about World War III when your world's
falling apart? Who cares about what's going on
across the globe when across the street you're
afraid to go across the street because your life
is falling apart. Your life's not where you want
it to be. You're not - Doing what you want to
be doing and you feel like you can't get ahead
Made no mistake. You're not alone if you think
that or if you're just discontent Do not offer
rage bait due to being discontent. Don't let
that happen to you Understand that reactions
are barely ever positive It's only each the only
way for positive change to be cultivated is for
you to take a calculated risk and a calculated
response not a reaction You want to be proactive,
not reactive. Reactions tend to be emotional.
Being proactive tends to be long thought out
and planned. My friends, it's really hard to
escape these things if you're paying close attention
to the political landscape, but I would encourage
you to form your own opinions and not disagree
with people you like or disagree with people
that you don't like. That's easy. Anybody could
do that. It takes someone who's mature and somebody
who truly wants to look at things in a more in
-depth angle to listen to every side of the spectrum
and decide for yourself what you believe and
what you don't believe. Because in my opinion,
it lies somewhere in the middle, not only on
the left, only on the right. Or even the left
side of the middle or the right side of the middle.
You got to find what you got to find the right
course of action. Hi friends, let me know what
you think. Do you do you agree with the new school
old school? No school. What do you agree with?
What do you care about? Who do you like most
in the media? And why who do you dislike most
of the media? And why I want to hear all of it.
It's all relevant Because we're all in the spite.
We're all living this life and I think it's important
for us to exchange notes Our friends to carry
yourselves and I will revisit this topic probably
in the next day two days or so I got a new dog,
so He's been very time consuming. I'll be posting
him a little more on the show. Mostly on YouTube,
because it'll be cute little videos to kind of
offset the fact that the political sphere and
our lives are kind of all over the place right
now. Give a little levity. My friends, take care
of yourselves. I'm out of here. Peace.
