there really is a very strange conspiracy theory going around the internet right now that the whole Travis Kelce Taylor Swift relationship is fake it's been propped up not just not by like her PR agent and his PR agent to get them extra coverage celebrities do do that I mean that actually is not so far a field that I couldn't buy it though I doubt it here um but that she's a pentagon operative apparently Jesse wat played some sound bite claiming this was the Pentagon but it wasn't the Pentagon it was some John's Hopkins researcher talking about social media influencers and how they can be useful in getting messages out and she said like Taylor Swift she she would be one of the greatest of all in any event the theory is that the Pentagon is using Taylor and Travis Kelce because he's Pro vaccine and she's Pro Biden and propping them up with magazine covers and times person of the year in her case and now the theory goes a Super Bowl win which will be rigged for the Kansas City Chiefs to just build the profile even more and then after they win the Travis Taylor kiss will happen post Super Bowl and they will look at the camera and say vote Joe Biden that I mean literally people believe this people on the right who I like and respect are pushing this uh V ramaswami tweeted out the following I wonder who's going to win the Super bowl next month saying and I wonder if there's a major presidential Endor coming from an artificially culturally propped up couple this fall others have been even more explicit saying this is all big one big sigh up against us what do you make of this well look I'm all in for a good conspiratorial story and a lot of times you know the conspiracies as we've learned over the last four years especially a lot of them have ended up being true this one I just think we're missing the point um I mean I I like it it's juicy and it's fun and there's some ring of truth I think to it but the reality is I think that if that's what we see and that's all that we see we're missing the whole point the point is that um we've created a generation of kids who the you know the Jers that unfortunately we've dumbed them down you know they're they're not learning history the way that we did the classical method of education has been tossed out the door we've brought in gender studies instead to replace it and then we've created this generation of kids that's raised on a sugar diet of pop culture and social media and being in the In Crowd with retweets and I think that that's actually the point is that we've created a generation that's ripe for this phenomenon of uh really having this Collective Mocking Bird effect that you have someone like Taylor Swift who's sparkly and popular and brings the crowds in in mass and then you have her subjects who haven't been trained to think beyond the headline of the day and the Tweet of the day and so it's just ripe for someone like Taylor Swift to step in and tell her minions who to vote for and The Crowd Goes Wild I do think it's interesting that you've got Travis Kelce on the other hand where we're where we've lost so many or the Democrat Party has lost so many of the young men who fled to the conservative circles because they don't want to be emasculated and so now you have this interesting relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift where you've got Travis Kelce who could become Mr Super Bowl drawing in the young boys while Taylor Swift is bringing in the young girls that's interesting to me and that may be where there's some Ring Of Truth to how much of this is manufactured but overall I think the reality is that we've got to do better for our youth and prop up actual Heroes instead of sparkly super superstars who are adored in mass and then the Mocking Bird effect I mean I don't know why people are so afraid of her she does have power she does have influence she told people to go vote and something like 35,000 of them did um but registering to vote is not the same as actually voting and I've been through enough of these elections where we've had George Clooney out there I mean like George Clooney could win the presidency if he ran they don't listen they don't tend to actually do it like they're acting people are acting like Taylor Swift actually holds the key to the presidency like whoever she's going to vote Biden hello she's going to endorse Biden probably Travis Kelce will too he's big on Bud Light he's big on covid vaccines and fiser um we why are people living in fear of this yes they're being propped up by a media that loves the number of hits she gets I mean I see Taylor Swift my kids just said this Brit they were like oh thank God one day in which she's not on the cover of the New York Post that's not a left-wing publication the reason she's on the cover of the New York Post so often is because people are interested in her and they want people to buy the paper the fatigue might be setting in though you know I um I talked to some of the young young girls and I've been asking him like hey what what do you think about this whole Taylor Swift thing and I think that it's getting overplayed so if this is the Hail Mary by the Biden Camp you know I think that they need to be uh cautious because that that fatigue is going to set in where you're going to have the opposite effect where people are so sick and tired of seeing them plastered on every cover and you can't even watch a football game without seeing Taylor Swift dancing up there you know it's it's a little much and that might actually end up having the reverse effect that if there is like some deep crazy conspiracy behind it then the opposite may actually end up yeah it is a lot much I'm sick of it and it's not her fault it's the TV cameras that will capture her and the director of the show who says pop her back on pop her back on but they're doing that for the same reason the post is putting her on and all the you know all the newspapers and the magazines are putting her on she rates she's she's interesting to some vast majority of people I don't happen to be one of them I don't feel it I'm it's I have nothing against her though I'm pissed off about the Palestinian money she raised but I uh whatever like they they're making her this is what we do in America you know we we choose somebody we build them up then we crush them so I'm sure that's coming for her eventually too if she's smart she will stay non-political which is better for her she will not be the most popular person in America if she continues to antagonize half the country that votes Republican but whatever um okay honestly it will be interesting to see I think it'll be interesting I was thinking this morning about it to see if she actually does endorse Biden because at this point who who wants to put their reputation on Biden I mean do you think she AB go so far she is but yeah it's one thing to say you're Pro that or and pro trans and pro all the things but it's another to say you're you're coming out and endorsing Joe Biden do you think she's gonna do it yes I do because she hates Trump here's here she was um back in 2020 uh commenting about Trump and Marsha Blackburn who by the way she was very much against Maria Blackburn who was reelected so I mean there are limits to This Woman's power she's very good behind the microphone she's good at getting people to show up at the concerts whether she can sway entire elections with her magical endorsement is another very open question but here's a little flashback for you in sou 30 the other thing just from a security Kaylor Swift comes out against Trump I don't care if they write that I'm sad that I didn't two years ago but I can't change that I'm saying right now that this is something that I know is right and you guys I need to be on the right side of history and if he doesn't win that at least I I at least I try I can't see another commercial and see her disguising these policies behind the words Tennessee Christian values those aren't Tennessee Christian values I live in Tennessee I am Christian that's not what we stand for I need to do this I need you to just I need you to forgive me for doing it CU I'm doing it there we go she's really not a prot Trumper she's not pro Republican she is not she is not she is not I think she also is you know unfortunately I think there's a little bit of an identity crisis just hearing that you know she's she's a Christian she's a Tennessean but then she's pro-abortion anti-trump protr Pro you know trans so there's a lot there that to make of what what actually is she I don't know if she knows who she really is to be totally honest I think she's very confused and it's confusing just hearing her yeah and I'm sure it's you know she grew up in a more Christian conservative family from the sound of it but then got the Adoration of the music industry the you know television and movie industry Hollywood RIT large um not to mention Democrats all of whom are begging for her to shine any light on them and they you know they love bombed her and so suddenly she's like oh oh maybe you know if I if I'm with them I'm on the cover of all the magazines my everything I touch will turn to Gold because they control all these industries yeah okay I I like it let me hear them out and so you know you can kind of see the spiral conservatives don't really do that no it's a lot of pressure for her to be fair as a person um and she's got plenty of handlers that handle a lot of that pressure but if she was wise I think it would be a smart move for her to not go all in on Joe Biden and stake her reputation and aligning herself with him no matter how much she hates Trump well is she gonna go Biden most likely is the Hail Mary going to work I don't know I don't know I think people are hitting a pretty strong point of uh contempt for Joe Biden so I don't know like you said I don't know if her power goes that far and you also um I don't you just never know like maybe somebody will get to her maybe Khloe Cole will get to her and say yeah true they cut off my breast when I was 15 I I I think I'm sterile now because of these
