The MAGA voters are apparently furious with Don Jr after he
asked conservatives to stop boycotting Budweiser and
Anheuser Bush over its campaign with transgender Tiktoker Dylan Mulvaney.
Now this is a story that has been developing for it feels like weeks now.
And before we get to the conservatives reaction to Don Jr, why don't we take
a look at what he had to say and what sparked the fury in the first place.
>> Okay, 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.
>> God he's so dumb.
I mean most Republicans are smart enough.
And when I say Republicans, I don't mean necessarily the voters.
I'm talking about Republican politicians and public figures.
Most of them know that when they go on and on about corporations being woke,
what they're referring to is just like the incredibly shallow virtue
signaling that corporations engage in.
But they know full well that when it comes to their own business practices,
they're not woke at all.
They're very much pro deregulation, pro tax cuts.
Which is why of course they donate a ton of money to Republican politicians.
And Don Jr is like, we did a deep dive, a real investigation
into where the money goes and it turns out it goes to us.
So we should stop the boycott because we like the money and
we don't actually have any real values or principles.
So let's go in that direction.
It's amazing.
>> Yeah, and I was wondering is that acting or is he really that dumb?
>> He's really that dumb.
>> I think so too.
>> Incredibly dumb, yeah.
>> I think so too.
He's the very last person in America to find out that the great majority
of corporations actually support Republicans.
And they support them with billions of dollars in campaign
contributions in general, in mass.
Like I said, did you know?
Turns out Budweiser actually supports Republicans.
Yeah, I knew that.
Yeah, we all know that.
Almost all corporations do.
But I love slithering idiot like Drooling at all times like
the mentally challenged person that he is.
And then he says in woke corporate America,
who knew that they would want giant tax cuts like my dad gave
him when he cut to corporate taxes from 35% to 21%.
Did you guys say they wanted that?
Yeah beavis we knew they wanted that.
>> I know, but I love that he did this because there is a disconnect
between the Republican establishment and Republican voters.
And it's something that you bring up on the show often cenk,
which is whether you're a Democrat or Republican voter, you hate the corruption.
You hate that corporations have more of a say in our policy and
in our elections than ordinary Americans do.
And so for Don Jr to cut, this is the other reason why he's so
incredibly stupid.
For him to come out and say the quiet parts out loud and just be like,
no, we love the corruption.
We want their money, so stop attacking them, I think speaks volumes to
Republican voters who are sick of the corruption in the first place.
And I think that's partly what's driving some of the reaction from them.
>> 100% Anna.
He's also too dumb to realize he's saying the quiet part out loud,
and he doesn't realize that they ran on drain the swamp.
And I say to my book too,
this is the one thing I always give Republican voters credit for.
It's deeply ironic because they put a guy who's maybe the most corrupt
politician of our lifetime into office, but they got tricked.
They genuinely do not like corruption.
I got 1000 problems with Republican voters, but
anticorruption is not one of them.
They hate it.
And they don't really actually like big business either.
That's why Tucker Carlson is pretending to speak out against corporate America.
That's why they invented the whole woke corporation talking point in
the first place, because they had to take the rage of their own voters and
their own viewers and misdirect it.
Corporations are buying all of our politicians and keeping your wages low,
not giving you health care and destroying your life and
stripping you of your dignity.
No, the real problem is they like gay people.
Squirrel, but Don Jr. is like since he's not just a Republican leader,
he's one of the dumbest Republican followers.
So he didn't even get the memo.
And he's like, we were distracting people.
I thought they really were Woke.
>> Okay, but he can't stop himself.
It gets worse, okay?
One more clip from Don Jr.
urging conservatives to stop boycotting Budweiser.
>> They actually went pretty big for some important races.
For example, they went big for
Kevin McCarthy's effort to take back the House and fire Nancy Pelosi.
That's a big one.
You know who else Anheusler Bush went big for?
They went big for JD Vance in Ohio.
Literally the most lit person in the United States Senate as far as I'm
concerned.
On the lobbying front, we looked into the bills that Anheuser Bush was working.
You know what they're focused on, guys?
They're focused on taxes and trade.
Things that actually impact their business.
So here's the deal.
Anheuser Bush totally the bed with this Dylan Mulvaney thing.
I'm not, though, for destroying an American and iconic company for
something like this.
>> My God.
Don Jr. hero, best video he's ever created.
I love that he even lists Republicans who have been corrupted with Budweiser cash.
He's like, did you even know that they supported Kevin McCarthy and JD Vance?
He's corrupt, too.
I didn't know.
Did you know?
It's amazing.
Did you know, Jank, that corporations love Republican politicians who give
them tax cuts and deregulation?
Did you know?
I didn't know.
No idea.
>> That was my favorite part when he was like,
I figured out what they're really interested in.
It turns out it's tax cuts.
Nobody knew that.
I wish somebody would have told me that earlier.
[LAUGH] You absolute moron.
Of course, Gee, I wonder what they're interested in?
Protecting gay people and trans people or billions of dollars in tax cuts?
That one was a hard one for you to figure out, Donnie.
It's the billions, Donnie.
That's the thing they're concerned about.
And then he does a laundry list of, look, JD Vance for
ten populace turns out pleasures to Anheuser Bush for a living.
They give him money, and then he gets on his knees.
[LAUGH] I didn't know Anheuser Bush was on our side.
You just grab him by the bush and they'll give you anything you want.
My God, [LAUGH] Okay, so let's get into some of the numbers here because
this is apparently enough money for Don Jr. to embarrass himself.
So according to data from Open Secrets, Anheuser Bush and people affiliated
with the company donated $514,375 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
And another $464,505 to
the National Republican Congressional Committee in the 2022 cycle alone.
So that is the money that he was referring to.
He believes that money speaks louder than what Republican
voters are concerned about.
And look, to be sure, I want to be clear.
I think the boycott over the Dylan Mulvaney campaign is just stupid
in the first place.
Why does it bother you so much?
Who cares?
I mean, they sent Dylan Mulvaney a special can of Budweiser or
Bud Light if that is ruining your day.
If you're thinking about it more than 1 second, I don't understand you.
But nonetheless, the Don Jr. video did get a lot of backlash, of course, on Twitter,
because that's what Twitter is created for.
So I'm going to give you a few examples.
One person wrote Don Jr.
defends Bud Light, opposes boycott over Trans influencer.
Don Jr. better to keep your mouth shut.
You are not helping your future.
Give you another example.
Another person on Twitter says, Don Jr.
telling us to stop boycotting Budlight is the most rhino crap I've ever heard.
This is exactly why we get stomped on all over from the left, weakness.
No, we will not stop teaching Budlight a lesson.
And no, mocking women and men will not be tolerated anymore.
And then finally, here's one more,
more proof that Donald Trump is not going to save America.
Apparently, Anheuser Bush's conservative credentials also include
getting 70% of Americans injected with the COVID-19 bioweapon.
So, like, some of these people who are outraged by Don Jr.
obviously are kind of crazy themselves.
But what I really like about this story is that Don Jr.
is highlighting Republican corruption, and
he's highlighting it as if it's a good thing and it's not a good thing.
>> Yeah, so I was just happy to see that there's cannibals on the right wing, too.
Like, if you don't agree with the most extreme version of right wingness,
it doesn't matter if your name is literally Donald Trump.
Of course, got junior with it in it, but still, his name is literally Donald Trump,
and they're still like, not good enough.
Eat him.
[LAUGH] I can go in a couple of directions.
All right, last thing is yeah.
I just want to make sure that I'm clear about this.
So Dylan Mulvaney, because they've said it so much, I don't want you to get confused.
They're not even selling it to anyone.
They just sent one commemorative one to her.
>> That's it.
Eminem's once sent commemorator ones to me.
Are we, [SOUND] >> No.
I mean, that is the final straw, Jank.
That is the final straw.
I think we should really consider a boycott here.
>> Maybe that's why they changed the Eminem's cartoon.
This one is so stupid even Joe Rogan was against them.
Yeah, in fact, we do have that video of Joe Rogan.
Why don't we go to that and then we'll wrap up the story?
>> Do you have any beer here?
>> Yeah, you want a beer?
>> I take a light.
>> Let's get some Bud Lights.
Let's do this in support of Bud Light in their time allies by getting a little
dangerous.
We're going to be allies because Kid Rock and Travis Tritt have put the hammer down.
>> I know, they're really fighting the good fight, man.
>> Here's my take, okay?
[LAUGH] What you're doing, what they're doing is
just spreading the brand to an extra group of people.
>> Yeah.
>> Why, if something is good, do you give a who's got it?
Will we do this with cheesecake?
You know what I'm saying?
If there was, like, a bomb ass cheesecake and all of a sudden some radical group
like Antifa really got into the cheesecake, who'd be like this?
>> I mean, if the Cheesecake Factory sent Dylan Mulvaney a special trans themed
cheesecake, I don't even know what that would be like, but it doesn't matter.
Yeah, there would be a boycott of Cheesecake Factory 1000%, I have no doubt.
>> Of course there would.
It's not even close.
[LAUGH] Yeah, but hey, look, Joe Rogan being sensible.
What is this, like, eight years ago?
Okay, apparently there was a hot tub time machine in the story that didn't
even know it.
>> I'll take it a little bit of sanity does the country good.
So I appreciate rogan on trans issues.
>> I know that is shocking news, but like you said, Anna, we'll take it.
