| 0:00.0 | Well, as our friend the great Andrew Breitbart said, lo, these many years ago, politics is downstream of culture, and fortunately for us, the Democrats are too stupid to realize this. |
| 0:08.3 | Hi, everybody. I'm Bill Whittle here with Steve Green and Scott Ott. And gentlemen, it was famously noted, at least by some people, that once Kamala Harris was designated the nominee, her first commercial was with a series of drag queens on Rupal's drag race show. |
| 0:28.1 | Yeah, that was the first commercial she did, figuring that this was the future. |
| 0:32.3 | But as it turns out, politics is in fact downstream of culture, and culture I think is well well well past peak |
| 0:39.8 | woke uh Steve talked about this show the Acolyte which is a star war show which which completely |

| 1:57.0 | is just not matching it. |
