For the past several weeks, conservatives have been kicking and screaming over
Bud Light's promotional can of beer for transgender entertainer Dylan Mulvaney.
Many right-wingers have even pushed for
a boycott of the company that normally fuels them.
When they're not straight up shooting at it, of course,
which is the worst way to get a buzz, I can tell you from experience.
But the daddy of the right wing, Donald Trump,
has stayed suspiciously silent on the issue.
And now we believe we know the reason why.
Before we get into the theory for why Trump has abstained from this moronic
culture war against what has always been my favorite beer, Bud Light,
let's give you a brief reminder of how conservatives have completely lost their
minds over this.
Because they're bored all the time and they got this kind of time on their hands.
>> [SOUND] Bud Light,
Anheuser-Bush.
Have a terrific day.
>> It's woman face, and what is the stereotype of a woman being stupid?
I kept hearing this thing about, like, March madness, and I thought that maybe we
were all just having a tough month, but I guess it has something to do with sports.
And I don't know what sport it is because girls don't know anything about sports, so
we'd have never heard of March madness ever.
>> You virtue signaling bunch of cultural cuckolds.
>> I don't care how cold the bud is,
I don't care how hot the hooter server that is serving it is.
A Bud Light or bud beer or any Anheuser-Bush
beer will never again pass my lips.
I'd also like to point out that Kid Rock,
who used to drink Bud Light next to drag queens with them hanging out,
had an AR-15 type gun and could only take out three out of five cases of beer.
>> [LAUGH] >> Just wanted to point that real quick.
>> He's a real man.
>> So why has Donald Trump refused to enter the fray and comment on this?
After all, he loves nothing more than some good old-fashioned bigotry, right?
But there's just one thing he loves more than bigotry, and
that's not Tiffany, it's money, it's money.
Trump's most recent financial disclosure get a load of this.
Shows he holds a significant financial interest in Anheuser-Busch InBev,
the company that produces Bud Light.
The disclosure form, which is on file with the federal election commission,
shows the twice impeached former president owns between $1 and
$5 million in Anheuser-Bush InBev stock under an account listed as DJT Trust,
investment account number two.
That could certainly be also a reason why many orange menace
Donald Trump Jr has spoken out against the Bud Light boycotts.
Take a look at this.
>> We've all seen the backlash that Budweiser is facing over
the trans marketing scheme.
Is this a one off colossal screw up, or is it something bigger?
This could be just the act of one rogue woke lunatic in
a marketing department filled with leftist staffers.
The Daily Wire is now reporting that no one at the senior level of
Anheuser-Bush was aware of the partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.
We looked into the political giving and
lobbying history of Anheuser-Bush, and guess what?
They actually support Republicans in woke corporate America,
Anheuser-Bush supports Republicans.
Last cycle, their employees and
their pac gave about 60% to Republicans and 40% to Democrats.
>> That guy is so weird.
It's unclear if he himself don Jr owns stock in the beverage maker,
but it's likely he is at least somewhat aware his father owns
the stock through a trust because he was made one
of the trustees charged with overseeing it during his father's presidency.
If you remember that Trump, I'm sure, never also checked in with his sons about
how that trust was doing, you probably respected that line pretty good.
>> So what was interesting is that when Don Jr did this defense of Bud Light,
I thought maybe it was like a right wing movement saying, hey, this is too much.
Guys, this is a little embarrassing, we're doing cancel culture here.
I mean, we do it all the time, Nike, Curry.
Anytime somebody says, hey, maybe gay people exist as well,
we smash the crap out of our coffee machines,
burn our sneakers, etc, and all these boycotts.
And Joe Rogan had said, the Bud Light thing is a little silly,
I'm not in favor of this, so I thought maybe it was a trend.
But no, when Don Jr said we shouldn't boycott Anheuser-Bush,
all other conservatives rained down on him on social media, etc.
And they're like, no, this is outrage,
we definitely have to cancel them, we love canceled culture.
Don Jr is going rogue here, and it's not acceptable.
So now we found out for sure it has nothing to do with any trend or
nothing like that.
No, they had stock in Anheuser-Bush, period.
That's why he's like, I walked into it, and what I found out was, it turns
out they're not part of Woke America, they're part of our portfolio, okay?
[LAUGH] Okay, that was what we thought, that's what we thought.
And I love how he was bragging about, like, no, it turns out they bribe us.
They bribe us, so they're a good company, are they?
And if you're wondering, hey, 1 to $5 million,
that doesn't sound like a lot for a billionaire.
Yeah, this Trump ain't a billionaire, for him, it was investment account number two.
I don't know that there's an investment account number three,
that might be half his money.
Remember, he's been lying this whole time about how much money he has.
By the way, here's a fun prediction.
When Donald Trump passes away, whenever that might be, of course,
we wish for his good health, okay?
Anyways, [LAUGH] when that happens, I guarantee you that
his entire business empire will collapse instantly.
It will crater, and people will go, man, Eric and Don Jr couldn't run it.
No, he's stockpiling debt like there's no tomorrow.
That's why he's like, I have a little bit of money in Anheuser-Bush.
Don Jr, go out there and be a schmuck and defend them.
Hurry up, hurry up.
>> And it's worth also reminding everybody that this manufactured yet
again culture war makes it seem as though Dylan Mulvaney is
the new face of Bud Light and is on every commercial campaign.
And Bud Light is saying, Bud Light is now the beer only for transgender people and
those who love transgender people, which would be fine if they did that.
But literally, all they did was give a commemorative can personally to
Dylan Mulvaney as one of hundreds of influencers that the company works with.
So literally, the right wing is saying transgender people can't be one of
hundreds of people that we work with to support our brand.
They don't exist even in one out of 400 of the people in this country,
which would significantly underrepresent the percentage
of transgender people that there are in this country as well.
The other prominent Republican candidates for
president have all spoken out against Bud Light, of course.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said on The Benny Show that he thinks a conservative
boycott of the company could be effective.
He added that Anheuser-Bush's work with Ms Mulvaney was part of a larger thing where
corporate America is trying to change our country,
trying to change policy, trying to change culture.
What policy are they changing?
What policy?
They're just giving a free can to somebody and saying, please promote our product.
Two of Mr Trump's former allies turned rivals, ex Vice President Mike Pence and
former UN ambassador Nikki Haley also weighed in on the controversy in
favor of boycotting the brewer's products,
with Ms Haley saying the marketing partnership makes a mockery of women.
And Mr Pence decrying what he described as gender insanity,
which continues to poison our public discourse.
Of course, he feels that way, he doesn't let himself be in a room with a woman.
>> Unless Mother is there.
Sure, if Mother's there, it's cool.
>> Yeah, and of course, Mother is his wife, which makes it much cooler.
So Ben asks, what policy?
Well, wait, we haven't been able to pass any policy to protect trans people,
but Republicans have introduced over 400 bills this year alone,
and we're not that far into the year against trans people.
They're like, can you believe the Democrats,
they're gonna legislate about this.
Let's legislate.
There are hundreds of bills at a time, all hatred, all against them,
all antitrans, anti-LGBTQ, etc, over 400.
And then media is like, well, you don't wanna call them anti-gay.
Let's call 50/50.
I mean, Democrats introduce zero bills against trans rights,
then Republicans introduced over 400 in just four months.
But I can't tell, I can't tell who's against trans rights, I can't, right?
It's a 50/50, I can't tell.
Anyways, now in terms of the marketing executives and
what you should actually think about Anheuser-Bush, it turns out that
the people who actually run Anheuser Bush did not know about the campaign.
And when they found out, they were outraged, I'm not kidding.
They fired the two marketing executives that were in charge of them,
they just did that two days ago.
They're like, how dare you give a commemorative can out
of hundreds of ones that we did to influencers.
Because hateful right wing pricks found out about it and wanted to hate on her,
and you guys accidentally gave them an opening to do that against us,
Anheuser-Bush who just wants to be conservative.
Conservative America is awesome.
The rest of America is crap.
So they fired him.
They said that's it, you're goners forever daring to support someone who's trans.
Well, F Anheuser-Bush, by the way, so I'm not going to do a boycott of them, but
you know what?
It does piss me off.
And no, I'll do my own personal boycott, it doesn't matter, right?
But what does matter is great, you morons who run Anheuser-Bush,
now you pissed off both sides.
And by the way, afterward their sales go down because both sides found out that
those guys think that you're not on their side when you actually are, right?
And we know that you're actually not on our side because you fired anyone who
would dare support trans rights within your own company, okay?
Now your sales are definitely gonna go down.
Whereas Nike was like, no, we use Colin Kaepernick in an ad, and
it was not a mistake, we meant it.
And you know what happened to them?
Their market cap went up $6 billion because the country is
progressive and young people are even more progressive.
So Bud Lights are a bunch of morons who actually did what Kid Rock did,
they did to themselves.
They just opened fire inside their own building financially, right?
Because they're like, let's choose the hateful side.
Let's choose the one third side instead of the two-thirds side.
Well played then Anheuser-Bush.
And by the way, those morons will then turn around and go, you see that,
we should have never supported a trans person even for a second.
That's what cause our stock.
No, what cause your stock is that your executives are either hateful pricks or
cowards.
