We were just laughing about it in the studio a minute ago. It was a year and a half ago this week was October 27th,0:08
8 seconds
2024 that we all went down to New York City to the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. It was in the final0:15
15 seconds
moments of that campaign. And it was really one of the most exciting political events, even after a lifetime of going to political events I've ever0:23
23 seconds
been to. It was right in the middle of Manhattan, New York City, a place that did not support Donald Trump despite the0:30
30 seconds
fact he's from there. And it was again days before the presidential election.0:35
35 seconds
And it was packed. You showed up and there was a line way down the block and then the next block and the next block after that. And the people in the line,0:43
43 seconds
if you looked, weren't just from other places. They were just bridging tunnel people coming in from Long Island to support Trump. Some looked like they were from Manhattan. And people were0:51
51 seconds
excited. really excited and you go inside and the place is just absolutely packed. I spoke at the request of the0:58
58 seconds
campaign and was happy to do it. And what we were laughing about a minute ago and something I remember very well was a1:05
1 minute, 5 seconds
sea of placards of campaign signs in the crowd all provided by the campaign that said quote mass deportations now. Mass1:15
1 minute, 15 seconds
deportations now. I remember thinking well that's kind of heavy. I don't think I've ever heard any candidate say mass deportations. It's kind of forbidden to talk like that, mass deportations.1:27
1 minute, 27 seconds
But the Trump campaign was saying it without apology. And there was something thrilling about that because on the other hand, why not? When you live in a1:35
1 minute, 35 seconds
country with more laws than anyone can keep track of when you live in a constant state of mild anxiety that you might transgress, break one of these1:43
1 minute, 43 seconds
laws and be held to account for it. When you live in a country that put Martha Stewart in jail for six months for1:51
1 minute, 51 seconds
insider trading and a lot of other people away for a lot longer than that for crimes that no one could even really understand or explain. In some cases,1:58
1 minute, 58 seconds
the people committing them didn't know they were committing them. That's real.2:02
2 minutes, 2 seconds
If you live in a country like that, why shouldn't foreigners who break your law at very least be asked to leave? Is that crazy?2:11
2 minutes, 11 seconds
And if they're not asked to leave, then why are you obeying the law? Why is you living in fear of violating the tax code2:19
2 minutes, 19 seconds
or some SEC reggg or some wetlands regulation that's never been voted on but that you can be severely punished2:27
2 minutes, 27 seconds
for breaking filling in a vernal pool in your backyard without knowing it etc etc etc.2:34
2 minutes, 34 seconds
If foreigners don't have to follow our laws why are we paying our taxes?2:39
2 minutes, 39 seconds
That's real. And by the way, shouldn't the people who live in a country, who are born in that country, get to decide who else lives in the country? Isn't it2:47
2 minutes, 47 seconds
up to the population who comes and whether or not they want to be replaced by new people? Maybe they do. Okay.2:55
2 minutes, 55 seconds
In a Democratic Republic, it's their right. But if they don't want to be, if they want to keep the population pretty much the same, they don't want any3:04
3 minutes, 4 seconds
radical change, and that is the view of most people, why can't they have that?3:09
3 minutes, 9 seconds
And if they're not getting it, if you have a rogue presidential administration that spends four years just inviting the rest of the world to come to the United3:17
3 minutes, 17 seconds
States and live off public funds, use public schools and drive on public roads and use the emergency rooms for3:25
3 minutes, 25 seconds
healthcare, thereby destroying hospitals across the country, making it impossible for poor Americans who want to get their healthcare in emergency rooms to do so.3:35
3 minutes, 35 seconds
Why is it crazy to make them leave and come and apply3:42
3 minutes, 42 seconds
legally if they want to move here and then turn them down if you want to cuz again it's your country. It's up to you who lives here. None of that is crazy.3:51
3 minutes, 51 seconds
And so as you looked out or as I looked out from the stage at Madison Square Garden on this sea of placards saying mass deportations now4:00
4 minutes
it was kind of titillating but it was also kind of thrilling because it wasn't just about deporting people some of whom are probably very nice people doubtless4:08
4 minutes, 8 seconds
very nice people don't want to be deported of course understand that but their desire not to be deported has4:16
4 minutes, 16 seconds
to in a republic be balanced against and given less weight and the population's right to decide who else gets to live4:24
4 minutes, 24 seconds
here. I that's very basic. In fact, it's the most basic thing. If you don't have that, you don't have representative4:31
4 minutes, 31 seconds
government. And so to see those signs was a reminder that actually maybe there is a political solution to this problem.4:40
4 minutes, 40 seconds
Maybe we can vote our way if not out of this at least to a slightly better place. can exert some authority as voters.4:49
4 minutes, 49 seconds
The people in charge can allow us to influence the course of events in our country. Isn't that the way the system is supposed to work?4:58
4 minutes, 58 seconds
It was pretty exciting the possibility that could be real.5:03
5 minutes, 3 seconds
But immigration was not the only topic that day. I remember very vividly standing backstage with a bunch of the other speakers and listening to people as they stood up and a lot of them5:10
5 minutes, 10 seconds
talked about Israel and America's steadfast bedrock commitment to the security of Israel,5:18
5 minutes, 18 seconds
the only democracy in the Middle East, our ally in the region, historic ties, defending Israel is defending the West,5:27
5 minutes, 27 seconds
etc., etc., etc. And personally, I didn't think that much about it. For maybe the past 10 years, maybe even longer, maybe since the Bush5:34
5 minutes, 34 seconds
administration, public declarations of love for Israel are kind of a stock feature at Republican political events because Republican party is for Israel.5:42
5 minutes, 42 seconds
And that's okay. It's okay to be for Israel. I never really thought too much about it. Israel not being really at the center of my thinking about anything most of the time.5:51
5 minutes, 51 seconds
So, it didn't occur to me that a party publicly committed above all to the5:58
5 minutes, 58 seconds
defense of Israel would be incapable or unwilling to defend itself. Never occurred to me. Seemed like you could do6:07
6 minutes, 7 seconds
both. Okay, we like Israel. That's great.6:10
6 minutes, 10 seconds
Doesn't mean we can't make life better here for Americans, does it? Doesn't mean we can't act in our own interest,6:17
6 minutes, 17 seconds
too, even as we're acting in the interest of this other country.6:20
6 minutes, 20 seconds
because there are some highly enthusiastic proponents of that other country in positions of authority in the Republican party. That's okay. We can all coexist. We'll support Israel,6:29
6 minutes, 29 seconds
whatever that means, as long as it doesn't mean like going to war with Iran in regime change effort that's going to cause global famine,6:36
6 minutes, 36 seconds
destroy global energy markets, make America poor, wreck the US dollar, cause hyperinflation. As long as we don't do that, totally fine. Want to support6:45
6 minutes, 45 seconds
Israel? Great. You're into that. I'm into model trains. Next guy's into golf.6:51
6 minutes, 51 seconds
We all have our obsessions. Yours is Israel. It's okay. But they're not mutually exclusive.6:58
6 minutes, 58 seconds
But it turns out they may be mutually exclusive. It turns out that maybe Jesus was right. You can't serve two masters.7:06
7 minutes, 6 seconds
You could only have one because you will always wind up loving one and hating the other. Maybe that's not just a theological concept. It's a hard and7:14
7 minutes, 14 seconds
true fact of human nature. You can only have one core loyalty and to all others you will have not just indifference but maybe contempt.7:25
7 minutes, 25 seconds
And that's becoming very very obvious a year and a half after that Madison Square Garden rally where not only have we not witnessed7:33
7 minutes, 33 seconds
Matt's deportations or the completion of the wall or even the substantial construction of the wall,7:39
7 minutes, 39 seconds
we've witnessed a continuation of hundreds of thousands of H1B visa workers coming here mostly from India.7:45
7 minutes, 45 seconds
70% from India, mostly into tech jobs.7:49
7 minutes, 49 seconds
at exactly the moment when the same people advocating for those H-1B visas are warning us, warning us, straight up7:58
7 minutes, 58 seconds
warning us that entire sectors of our economy are about to go away thanks to AI8:05
8 minutes, 5 seconds
that this is really the last moment that your kid with a degree in computer science or programming has be able to find a job because they are now telling8:14
8 minutes, 14 seconds
us as of today that 50% at least maybe maybe more of all American jobs will be affected8:23
8 minutes, 23 seconds
maybe eliminated by AI in the next 2 or 3 years. So this is now.8:29
8 minutes, 29 seconds
So why would you advocate for foreigners to come in and take8:36
8 minutes, 36 seconds
jobs in a sector that's about to be radically reduced in size. In other words, there are fewer jobs, but you're8:43
8 minutes, 43 seconds
giving hundreds of thousands of them to foreign nationals. Why would you do that?8:50
8 minutes, 50 seconds
Why would you have any immigration at all into a country that's about to lose 50% of its high-paying jobs?9:00
9 minutes
Why would you do that? You certainly wouldn't do that if you love that country. In fact, that's the last thing you would do. If you were in charge of a9:08
9 minutes, 8 seconds
country and you sincerely believe that 50% of white collar jobs were going to disappear or change in some unspecified way, meaning begin to disappear.9:21
9 minutes, 21 seconds
How many people would you import into your labor market? Well, zero. Not one.9:26
9 minutes, 26 seconds
Not a single one. You would want a much tighter labor market because the value of labor is about to plummet. And that9:34
9 minutes, 34 seconds
means that millions of Americans will be left with not enough or nothing at all to do. And that will be terrible for9:44
9 minutes, 44 seconds
them because people without work are volatile, unhappy people. They're people without a purpose. And that will mean disaster potentially for your country9:52
9 minutes, 52 seconds
because unemployed people in large numbers are dangerous. And that's why the last time this happened, the president of the United States at the time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt,9:59
9 minutes, 59 seconds
whatever his faults, many manifold,10:03
10 minutes, 3 seconds
decided to mobilize unemployed men in the Civilian Conservation Corps in the largest peacetime mobilization in world10:11
10 minutes, 11 seconds
history. And you know who led that mobilization? General Douglas MacArthur,10:14
10 minutes, 14 seconds
later famous for many other reasons, in the Philippines and in Japan. He put a general in charge of putting America's10:22
10 minutes, 22 seconds
unemployed men to work. Then in the course of that work, they basically rebuilt the national parks and built the GW Parkway through downtown DC and10:31
10 minutes, 31 seconds
actually did a lot of pretty amazing work to the country's infrastructure,10:36
10 minutes, 36 seconds
much of which still stands. So he both avoided domestic unrest, maybe even revolution, and he improved the country10:43
10 minutes, 43 seconds
in the process. It's not an endorsement of all of his policies. In some ways, a truly horrible president got us into World War II for no obvious reason,10:54
10 minutes, 54 seconds
etc., etc. But in this one way, the Roosevelt administration took very seriously the problem of having lots of unemployed people.11:03
11 minutes, 3 seconds
What are our leaders doing about AI right now? Well, they're trying to profit from it.11:08
11 minutes, 8 seconds
Of course, they're trying to make a lot of money from it. their friends and family and themselves.11:13
11 minutes, 13 seconds
There's the last big boom time before the casino shuts down. That's the first thing they're doing. The second thing they're doing is scaring the crap out of the rest of us about the effects of it.11:23
11 minutes, 23 seconds
Not even making any effort at all to sell it as a positive good for the average person. AI is coming. It's going to be difficult, but trust me, it's going to be awesome cuz here's why.11:32
11 minutes, 32 seconds
There's almost none of that. There's almost no effort to reassure you that the largest technological change in our lifetimes will be in any way a win for11:40
11 minutes, 40 seconds
you. In fact, they're telling you right to your face, it's going to be a disaster.11:46
11 minutes, 46 seconds
What is that? Why are they telling you that to prepare you? How do you prepare for that? Your job goes away. What11:53
11 minutes, 53 seconds
happens next? There's no hint. It's going to be tough. Yeah. You think if this all comes true, it's going to be very, very tough. So, why are they12:01
12 minutes, 1 second
telling you? And in addition to telling you, they're also continuing to import people to compete for a rapidly shrinking number of jobs.12:15
12 minutes, 15 seconds
Well, that's just a middle finger in your face. That's a humiliation exercise.12:20
12 minutes, 20 seconds
That's the opposite of trying to comfort you. That's trying to stoke your anxiety.12:26
12 minutes, 26 seconds
That's trying to make you feel worthless. That's revealing how they really feel about you. That's answering the central question of our moment,12:32
12 minutes, 32 seconds
which is, are we a ruled by people who are selfish and short-sighted and capable of longitudinal thought, totally12:39
12 minutes, 39 seconds
unwise, greedy? Is that the leadership class we have? Or is it even worse than that? Are we ruled by an elite that12:48
12 minutes, 48 seconds
actually hates us and hates the West and is doing whatever it can to harm the population of the United States and the12:56
12 minutes, 56 seconds
West and of Europe and of Canada and Australia, New Zealand, the West.13:02
13 minutes, 2 seconds
Are the people in charge actively angry at us? Do they not like us at all? Do13:10
13 minutes, 10 seconds
they mean us harm? You don't want to think that. That's so dark. Could that really be true? Hard to imagine it. Your average American used to living in a very nice country,13:20
13 minutes, 20 seconds
very nice people,13:22
13 minutes, 22 seconds
a country where people are so nice that people who aren't nice, people with dark motives, really go out of their way to hide those motives, to dress them up as13:30
13 minutes, 30 seconds
I don't know what, charity to build a NGO around whatever plans they have. No,13:40
13 minutes, 40 seconds
really, we're helping you here.13:43
13 minutes, 43 seconds
Americans are not used to imagining that the people in charge13:49
13 minutes, 49 seconds
have not simply no interest in them, but actively desire to harm them. And the13:56
13 minutes, 56 seconds
first time most people in this country even entertained the possibility of something so grotesque was during CO when it became really clear that the CO14:04
14 minutes, 4 seconds
shots not only weren't safe, they weren't effective. There was no possible upside to this whatsoever. And then the downsides became well too obvious to ignore. People started dying.14:16
14 minutes, 16 seconds
Kids started having heart attacks.14:20
14 minutes, 20 seconds
Women stopped having babies in the numbers they were having before. It was causing infertility. Obviously people,14:25
14 minutes, 25 seconds
you know, started getting pancreatic cancer, something that was so rare 30 years ago. It was the kind of thing you'd heard about once in a while.14:33
14 minutes, 33 seconds
Pancreatic cancer. Yeah, there's no fixing that one. That's the worst cancer you have. It's incredibly painful and it's not curable.14:40
14 minutes, 40 seconds
All of a sudden, you know, 10 people with pancreatic cancer. What's that?14:45
14 minutes, 45 seconds
Maybe it's not connected to the CO shots. We wouldn't know because no one's tried to figure it out.14:51
14 minutes, 51 seconds
So vanishingly small is the interest from our ruling class in finding out the effects of the COVID vacc.15:03
15 minutes, 3 seconds
Our vast public health infrastructure has not been mobilized to find out what the effects of15:12
15 minutes, 12 seconds
the biggest inoculation campaign in global history were. We still can't say, but it's obvious they weren't positive.15:21
15 minutes, 21 seconds
So if you wind up killing a lot of people, which the code vax did,15:26
15 minutes, 26 seconds
and then you refuse to find out where the virus came from in the first place,15:31
15 minutes, 31 seconds
and then you pretend that nothing bad happened, it's kind of hard not to suspect that maybe you want to hurt me.15:38
15 minutes, 38 seconds
You don't want to think that, but what's the other answer?15:42
15 minutes, 42 seconds
But it's on the question of immigration and not just immigration on this eve of technological revolution15:49
15 minutes, 49 seconds
on the eve of AI that it becomes very very clear that the same people who pushed us into15:59
15 minutes, 59 seconds
a regime change war with Iran. A war that will by definition cause famine even now if it stopped today. People would starve around the world.16:11
16 minutes, 11 seconds
There's it's a math question as to with energy and fertilizer and this will cause hunger and16:19
16 minutes, 19 seconds
starvation mostly in Africa but not just those same people are also the ones16:27
16 minutes, 27 seconds
literally the same people who are pushing the United States to continue to allow the rest of the world to move16:35
16 minutes, 35 seconds
here. And once again, there is no justification for this on practical grounds. Zero. And you know that because no one's even trying to make the case.16:45
16 minutes, 45 seconds
It used to be when people stood up and said, "We need more immigration." They at least paid you the compliment of explaining that our industries, our16:52
16 minutes, 52 seconds
factories need this. Our who's going to pick the grapes? Our farms need this.16:58
16 minutes, 58 seconds
Low-wage immigrant labor makes the bounty possible. That's the case they made for generations, more than 100 years. And in some cases they were17:06
17 minutes, 6 seconds
right. It's true. The United States did get a lot out of the consumer in the United States did get a lot out of17:14
17 minutes, 14 seconds
low-wage immigrant labor. Fact. There were also downsides. But the economic case at least was coherent.17:22
17 minutes, 22 seconds
Short-term it was coherent. You never hear that anymore because it's not true.17:25
17 minutes, 25 seconds
Most agriculture is automated. Tech jobs are going away.17:30
17 minutes, 30 seconds
Law firms are going to start laying off people. Meta, which you'd think would be immune from all of this because it's got a pretty great business model based on17:37
17 minutes, 37 seconds
spying on you and selling your preferences to advertisers. Meta laid off 8,000 people the other day thanks to17:44
17 minutes, 44 seconds
AI. So, this is coming for everyone. So at that moment to advocate for more17:51
17 minutes, 51 seconds
low-wage low-skll immigration into the United States which we I think we can say conclusively despite the virtue or lack of thereof18:00
18 minutes
among the specific immigrants I think we can say is a net cost to the United States there's really no debate about that at this point anyone advocating for18:08
18 minutes, 8 seconds
that is aggressively opposed to the interests of the population that's shocking but it's happening18:17
18 minutes, 17 seconds
And it's the same people who pushed for the war with Iran specifically. So two weeks ago, there was a vote in the House18:25
18 minutes, 25 seconds
of Representatives about whether to extend temporary protective status, TPS,18:29
18 minutes, 29 seconds
to hundreds of thousands of Haitians who have been living here for quite some time. They came here illegally. They were granted protection for reasons that aren't exactly clear. It's not obvious18:38
18 minutes, 38 seconds
why the United States owes the people of Haiti a debt. United States has not made Haiti better, but not for lack of spending money on Haiti.18:46
18 minutes, 46 seconds
Hades problems are resistant to our interventions. I think we can say that for whatever reason, but the United States has been intervening in Haiti for18:54
18 minutes, 54 seconds
over a hundred years. It hasn't gotten better.18:57
18 minutes, 57 seconds
So, hundreds of thousands of Haitians came here illegally. They were granted this temporary legal status and the House of Representatives had to vote on19:04
19 minutes, 4 seconds
whether to reup it or not. And they just did. And 10 Republicans voted with all Democrats to extend the protection,19:12
19 minutes, 12 seconds
which is now extended. And they'll tell you they're not taking any welfare benefits. But of course, like all poor people who move here, they are19:20
19 minutes, 20 seconds
fundamentally dependent on public services.19:26
19 minutes, 26 seconds
Of course, particularly healthare at a moment when the average birthright American is wondering how do I pay my health insurance premiums or just has19:35
19 minutes, 35 seconds
forgone them completely. Doesn't have health insurance. Many people in this country, millions of people have decided, I can't afford health insurance. Is that the moment that you19:44
19 minutes, 44 seconds
want to turn our public health resources, our emergency rooms over to foreigners?19:51
19 minutes, 51 seconds
It's just the opposite. That is an act of aggression against Americans. Well,19:55
19 minutes, 55 seconds
who voted for it? Of the 10 Republicans who voted to extend temporary protection20:01
20 minutes, 1 second
another 18 months only. In fact, the most fervent supporters of the state of Israel in the House of Representatives,20:11
20 minutes, 11 seconds
almost to a person, are the same people who voted for this. And they would include Mike Lawler of New York, the20:19
20 minutes, 19 seconds
sponsor of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act or something to that effect, a censorship bill. Criticism of Israel20:26
20 minutes, 26 seconds
should be illegal. That's the thrust always. He's one of the people who voted for this. Congressman Don Bacon.20:33
20 minutes, 33 seconds
Congressman Don Bacon of Omaha, Nebraska,20:38
20 minutes, 38 seconds
second district. In fact, it's Warren Buffett's dad's seat. Don Bacon, Air Force General, one of the most flid20:45
20 minutes, 45 seconds
red-in-the-faced neocons in the Congress. Nicole Melotakus, also of New York.20:51
20 minutes, 51 seconds
Congressman Salazar from Florida. These are Israel's most loyal soldiers in the20:58
20 minutes, 58 seconds
United States Congress, and they are voting to open our borders once again.21:04
21 minutes, 4 seconds
So, it's yet more evidence, and that evidence has been mounting for many years, as we're going to show you in a minute, that there is a direct connection between loyalty to a foreign power and a desire to hurt this country.21:15
21 minutes, 15 seconds
You cannot be loyal to two masters at once. You will love one and hate the other, to restate.21:22
21 minutes, 22 seconds
And again, that's not just a Bible verse. It's the daily lived reality of every human being. You can have but one true loyalty, and you will hate the21:30
21 minutes, 30 seconds
rest. And they clearly do. And we've known this for a while. So here's now semi famous not famous enough videotape21:37
21 minutes, 37 seconds
of a man called Bill Crystal speaking at a AEI event AEI is a neoconservative think tank in Washington the American Enterprise Institute. And Bill Clint21:46
21 minutes, 46 seconds
Crystal was for many many years the most famous and most influential neoonservative voice in Washington DC and hence the country. He's one of the21:54
21 minutes, 54 seconds
founders of the project for the new American century which laid out why in about 199798 why we needed to go to war22:01
22 minutes, 1 second
with Iraq. This was before the pretext of 9/11 was introduced before they told us that actually Saddam was behind 9/11.22:10
22 minutes, 10 seconds
This was just a blueprint for how the United States military needs to knock off needs to regime change Israel's22:17
22 minutes, 17 seconds
opponents in the region to give Israel regional hegemony. And now a lot of us who watched this happen, in fact I22:25
22 minutes, 25 seconds
worked about 10 feet away from where that document was formulated didn't pay a lot of attention. It didn't seem first22:32
22 minutes, 32 seconds
of all likely to happen. Are we really going to invade Iraq, kill Gaddafi,22:39
22 minutes, 39 seconds
overturn the Assad regime in Syria? I mean, it's so far away. Are we really going to do that? We've got problems here. I don't think it's actually going to happen. Number one, and number two,22:47
22 minutes, 47 seconds
that's just a different realm. That's foreign policy. That's like an academic exercise. doesn't really have much to do with life here in the United States. And22:55
22 minutes, 55 seconds
in any case, the people advocating for it are doing so and they tell us this all the time because they think it's good for the United States. This is in23:02
23 minutes, 2 seconds
our interest. This is for our safety. We need to spend a trillion dollars or now a trillion half dollars a year on the Pentagon so we will thrive at home. So23:11
23 minutes, 11 seconds
the homeland will be safe and prosperous. That's we call it the Department of Homeland Security because the first concern is the homeland, the country where we live, the country our ancestors built. the United States.23:21
23 minutes, 21 seconds
That's the goal is to protect the United States and its people. Cuz what is the United States but its people? That's all it is. It's American citizens.23:31
23 minutes, 31 seconds
And we need to help them. And admittedly, it's kind of complicated our plan. We're going to we're going to bring democracy to flower in the Middle23:39
23 minutes, 39 seconds
East, but that will make it a lot better here. That's what they were telling us.23:43
23 minutes, 43 seconds
And some of us who weren't paying enough attention or weren't wise enough to understand the difference between a truth and a lie kind of ignored it. Okay, now Syria,23:54
23 minutes, 54 seconds
Iraq, go crazy.23:58
23 minutes, 58 seconds
But with the rise of Donald Trump in 2015, it became a lot clearer what was actually going on. Donald Trump,24:05
24 minutes, 5 seconds
whatever his demonstrated faults,24:09
24 minutes, 9 seconds
is brilliant at one thing. He is a genius. And this may be unintentional at bringing into stark relief the differences in worldviews between people24:17
24 minutes, 17 seconds
and groups. Donald Trump is a living roarshock blot. You look at Donald Trump, what do you see? And so his purpose really for the last 10 years,24:27
24 minutes, 27 seconds
maybe his most important purpose has been to show the rest of us what the debate is really about and what the stakes really are and what the people24:34
24 minutes, 34 seconds
involved in those debates actually think. because something about Donald Trump evokes a kind of involuntary honesty in people and they just blurt out what they think.24:44
24 minutes, 44 seconds
And that happened to Bill Crystal in 2017. Now, Crystal was a kind of half-hearted Trump supporter up until24:51
24 minutes, 51 seconds
the moment in early 2016 when Trump traveled to Greenville, South Carolina, and engaged in a Republican candidates debate, a24:59
24 minutes, 59 seconds
primary debate with Jeb Bush and the other 27 people running that year or whatever the number was. And during that debate, he famously said to Jeb Bush,25:07
25 minutes, 7 seconds
"Your brother got us into the dumbest war in history. The Iraq war was a huge mistake.25:12
25 minutes, 12 seconds
Only the weapons manufacturers got anything out of that. It hurt this country, killed a lot of people, and it drained our treasury." That was a mistake.25:21
25 minutes, 21 seconds
And it was at that specific moment that Trump lost the support of Bill Crystal and everyone like Bill Crystal in25:28
25 minutes, 28 seconds
Washington, the neoconservative foreign policy establishment. The people who really sincerely believed the signers of25:36
25 minutes, 36 seconds
the project for the new American century mission statement, which would include Dick Cheney and Bob Kagan, John Bolton,25:42
25 minutes, 42 seconds
all of them, all of those people decided that Trump was not simply a candidate they couldn't support. he was their enemy and they become became famously25:51
25 minutes, 51 seconds
never Trump and that's why that was the issue his criticism of the Iraq war was the issue that drove them not simply26:00
26 minutes
away from Trump but to the polar opposite position many became Democrats including Bill Crystal and that really should have told us something right there really that's your26:09
26 minutes, 9 seconds
red line the Iraq war why is that so important to you what about the opioid crisis raging here what26:17
26 minutes, 17 seconds
about the fact that our industrial drill base is gone. Have you driven across America recently? How's it look? Midtown Manhattan, is it is it pretty clean?26:24
26 minutes, 24 seconds
And this immigration question, why shouldn't we build a wall? We paid for Israel's wall. Why can't we have one? What's the answer?26:33
26 minutes, 33 seconds
There was very little conversation about that. Why is this one issue,26:38
26 minutes, 38 seconds
support for Israel, the only thing that matters to you? It's hard to know, but it clearly was.26:45
26 minutes, 45 seconds
And in the case of Bill Crystal, we're grateful that it was because he was so enraged by Trump that he began to tell the truth and he began to see what he really thinks. Not simply about Trump,26:56
26 minutes, 56 seconds
not that interesting, but about the United States and his population, the people who live here, Americans,27:02
27 minutes, 2 seconds
American citizens. What do you think of them, Bill Crystal? Well, here in 2017,27:08
27 minutes, 8 seconds
Bill Crystal explains what he thinks of the rest of us. Watch. Look, to be totally honest, if things are so bad, as you say, with the white working class,27:16
27 minutes, 16 seconds
don't you want to get new Americans in who aren't going to be I'm serious. You can make a case that this is going on too long and this is too crazy probably.27:24
27 minutes, 24 seconds
And I hope this thing isn't being like,27:26
27 minutes, 26 seconds
you know, videotaped or ever shown anywhere. My whatever tiny pathetic future I have is going to be totally coll. You can make a case that America27:34
27 minutes, 34 seconds
has become has been great because every every I think John Adams said this the beginning, right? Basically, if you're in a free society, a capitalist society,27:42
27 minutes, 42 seconds
after two, three, four generations of hard work, everyone becomes kind of decadent, lazy, spoiled, whatever. And then you luckily you have these waves of27:50
27 minutes, 50 seconds
people coming in from Italy and Ireland and Russia and now Mexico who really want to work hard and really want to succeed and really want their kids to27:58
27 minutes, 58 seconds
live better lives than them and aren't sort of clipping coupons or hoping that they can hang on and meanwhile, you know, grew up with spoiled kids and so forth.28:08
28 minutes, 8 seconds
It it's hard to even comprehend the contempt in that statement for clipping coupons and kind of hanging on lazy,28:16
28 minutes, 16 seconds
decadent, spoiled. He's describing Americans. He's describing you and the people who live next to you and down the street and across the country. is28:23
28 minutes, 23 seconds
describing people whose ancestors built this nation and he's given up on them and he hates them and he doesn't have the28:32
28 minutes, 32 seconds
self-control to prevent himself from saying so out loud which he just did clipping coupons.28:39
28 minutes, 39 seconds
Now think of it this way. If you're a leader of this or any other country or any organization or any family, your28:47
28 minutes, 47 seconds
duty is to the people you lead and that duty has to be informed by love for those people. And so imagine the father of unruly kids taking the same position.29:00
29 minutes
My kids are hard to deal with. They're lazy. They're spoiled. They don't have any money. They're clipping coupons or whatever. Just hanging on.29:07
29 minutes, 7 seconds
So to a father who loves his kids, of course the answer would be, "What can I do to help? How can I make them less lazy, less entitled? How can I give them29:15
29 minutes, 15 seconds
spark, drive? How can I get them on the right path?"29:20
29 minutes, 20 seconds
No decent father would say, "These kids are way below my expectation. It's inevitable, by the way. When they get to their teen years, they're just useless.29:29
29 minutes, 29 seconds
I'm getting new kids. I'm just going to adopt some new kids." Maybe they don't even speak English. I don't have to even listen to their concerns, really. Maybe they'll just be so grateful for three square meals, they'll do whatever I say.29:40
29 minutes, 40 seconds
And my own kids, they can go die. A father with that attitude would be a monster. A leader of a country with that attitude is a monster. And that is29:49
29 minutes, 49 seconds
exactly the attitude Bill Crystal revealed maybe for the first time in public.29:56
29 minutes, 56 seconds
And it's an attitude with profound consequences. And maybe it shouldn't surprise us.30:04
30 minutes, 4 seconds
Anyone who can advocate for the murder of children in Gaza, actual kids, Palestinian kids, but still kids,30:13
30 minutes, 13 seconds
not political, not responsible for any any crime at all cuz they're children.30:19
30 minutes, 19 seconds
Anyone who can look at their deaths and say, "No big deal."30:25
30 minutes, 25 seconds
is probably not the kind of person you want in charge of anything in your country.30:30
30 minutes, 30 seconds
Because that reveals hatred for other human beings.30:37
30 minutes, 37 seconds
And no one who hates other human beings like that can ever have authority over you because they'll treat you like the Palestinians at a certain point. And30:45
30 minutes, 45 seconds
they are. So it shouldn't shock us. But when that video came out, it did shock the few who were paying attention.30:52
30 minutes, 52 seconds
Really? I thought the neocon program was designed to help us. At least that's what you claimed. But you have hatred30:59
30 minutes, 59 seconds
for us. And in the subsequent years, the nine years since he said that, it's become incredibly obvious.31:06
31 minutes, 6 seconds
Virtually every bad policy emanating from our government comes from31:13
31 minutes, 13 seconds
exactly to a person the same members of Congress and the same members of the administration who are advocating for wars like the one we're in now.31:24
31 minutes, 24 seconds
All of them are bad for the country and they would include and the list is very long.31:31
31 minutes, 31 seconds
AI again hard to see how that's good for us. Hard to see how it's a good idea to put a data center in your town. Your31:40
31 minutes, 40 seconds
utilities go up, your water gets poisoned, almost nobody gets employed. How is this a win for you? Shut up.31:46
31 minutes, 46 seconds
We're getting a data center. That would include our drug policy where over 100,000 Americans still die every year of overdose. What are we doing about that? Is it even a conversation? No.31:57
31 minutes, 57 seconds
That would include the more grotesque and flamboyant and cartoonish expressions of hatred toward Americans like transgender surgeries for children.32:06
32 minutes, 6 seconds
Yes, those are still going on because neocons in the Congress have blocked any attempt to stop them. That's a fact. You can look it up.32:16
32 minutes, 16 seconds
And above all, it informs their views of immigration,32:21
32 minutes, 21 seconds
which are motivated, as Bill Crystal just showed, not by what we thought they were motivated by, trying to hike GDP.32:29
32 minutes, 29 seconds
They think it's good for the aggregate economy. No, they don't like the people who live here and they would like to see them replaced. Crystal just said that32:37
32 minutes, 37 seconds
and the behavior of the rest show that that is true. And these are exactly the same people who've inspired these policies in Europe. And let's stop lying. Europe does not have autonomy.32:47
32 minutes, 47 seconds
Europe is a confederation called the EU that is a vassel of the United States.32:52
32 minutes, 52 seconds
We know that because there are American troops throughout Europe. Europe is under the thumb of the control of NATO which is controlled by the United States. So what happens in Europe,33:01
33 minutes, 1 second
whether it's energy policy or immigration policy, happens because our leaders sign off on it. So let's stop the pretense. Germany is not making its33:10
33 minutes, 10 seconds
own decisions at all. The United States is making those decisions and those decisions over the past 30 years have33:16
33 minutes, 16 seconds
destroyed the population of Europe and that's probably not an accident. Nor are the coming food shortages. Nor is the coming migration crisis which is coming.33:27
33 minutes, 27 seconds
When there are food shortages in subsaharan Africa where more than a billion people live, where are they going? Europe and the United States? To the West? That's all obvious. That's not a conspiracy theory. Watch it happen.33:39
33 minutes, 39 seconds
and the people who inspired it knew it was going to happen and it happening was part of the reason they did it in the first place. So, this is just another33:46
33 minutes, 46 seconds
way of letting you know that the motives here are not only impure, they're not simply disloyal, they are malicious.33:54
33 minutes, 54 seconds
But watch it now from a couple of members of Congress explaining or really failing to explain why these are Republicans. These are MAGA members.34:04
34 minutes, 4 seconds
These are very loyal soldiers in the MAGA army. Watch them explain or again not explain.34:12
34 minutes, 12 seconds
Watch them deflect questions about why they voted to extend temporary protection to Haitian illegal aliens.34:20
34 minutes, 20 seconds
Here's the first up and this is Maria Salazar of South Florida. We have34:27
34 minutes, 27 seconds
uh almost a hundred Democrats that are willing to vote for this because look,34:32
34 minutes, 32 seconds
it's impossible if we the Republicans put together a bill like this one on the floor for any Democrats in in with with Hispanics supposedly, you know,34:41
34 minutes, 41 seconds
Hispanics belong to the Democrats. Not anymore. Because right now we're going to be demonstrating to the Dems that we34:49
34 minutes, 49 seconds
are not such a bunch of racists that we're giving them dignity, not citizenship, right?34:57
34 minutes, 57 seconds
So we're not racist. Who said you were racist?35:01
35 minutes, 1 second
We're not racist. So we need to do this or else we will be perceived as racist.35:06
35 minutes, 6 seconds
In fact, we will be racist. Now, that is precisely the style of argument with air quotes that Republicans, including35:13
35 minutes, 13 seconds
Donald Trump, very famously objected to when the left employed it.35:18
35 minutes, 18 seconds
Shut up, racist. It became a meme and for good reason. rather than respond to the argument, rather than make the affirmative case, it's a good idea for the United States to do this because that sentence never got completed.35:30
35 minutes, 30 seconds
It was outrageous for you to ask questions about it and the massive unprecedented demographic change in this country, not just in Europe, here,35:38
35 minutes, 38 seconds
especially here,35:40
35 minutes, 40 seconds
because if you asked about it or demanded an answer to understand why it was happening, you were quote racist.35:47
35 minutes, 47 seconds
Racist.35:49
35 minutes, 49 seconds
Okay. now. And that is a MAGA Republican. That is a confirmed neocon,35:56
35 minutes, 56 seconds
a loyal soldier for Apac telling you that if you ask questions about it, you're racist.36:04
36 minutes, 4 seconds
Maria Salazar, ladies and gentlemen, of the state of Florida. But here really is someone that all of us should pay a lot closer attention to. This is Congressman36:13
36 minutes, 13 seconds
Don Bacon of Omaha. Again, a former Air Force general. Why is it, by the way,36:18
36 minutes, 18 seconds
and you hate to even notice this because it's there's something really troubling about it, but the more time our36:26
36 minutes, 26 seconds
representatives seem to have spent as military officers or intelligence officers, the more hostile they seem to36:33
36 minutes, 33 seconds
be to American citizens. It's just something we've noticed. You don't want to think that, by the way, is all Americans correctly have respect for their armed services. But it is true,36:43
36 minutes, 43 seconds
and anyone who served in the Congress can verify this, that members who have been officers in the US military tend to have the most anti-American views. Very,36:53
36 minutes, 53 seconds
very odd. It'd be interesting to know why that is. Just noticing. In any case,36:57
36 minutes, 57 seconds
here's Congressman Don Bacon asked by a reporter, "Hey, why' you vote to extend this protection? Why are you doing37:06
37 minutes, 6 seconds
something that's the very opposite of what Donald Trump ran on when you say you're a lawyer loyal soldier for Trump?37:12
37 minutes, 12 seconds
And here's the answer that Don Bacon gave.37:14
37 minutes, 14 seconds
Hi, Congressman Bacon. Uh, you recently voted with all Democrats to extend uh TPS for Haitians for another three37:20
37 minutes, 20 seconds
years. Um, over 90% of uh these Haitians entered the country illegally. And actually, they're legal now.37:27
37 minutes, 27 seconds
Well, 60% of them they're legal now. They work. They're not allowed on welfare unless there's unique situation like they're married to37:35
37 minutes, 35 seconds
American. And so, are you part of the no nothing party I was talking about in the 1850s?37:39
37 minutes, 39 seconds
No. Like you represent a minority of the of the country that hates immigrants. That's not true.37:47
37 minutes, 47 seconds
Millions of people are are just concerned about the future of this nation. They say that you know aliens I see you're wearing a cross. You ever read the verses in the New Testament37:55
37 minutes, 55 seconds
that talk about how you should treat immigrants?37:57
37 minutes, 57 seconds
Yeah. I don't think that means just opening up the the you know country for everyone to come here. These people are legal. What do you don't get about that?38:05
38 minutes, 5 seconds
They're legal. Okay. illegal and they're working,38:08
38 minutes, 8 seconds
they're paying taxes, they're not even allowed on welfare unless they're unless they're married to an American or you there's some out when they get on it. So I just think you'll38:16
38 minutes, 16 seconds
have your facts right and you represent like a 20% core or 20% group that I actually represent the majority of the38:23
38 minutes, 23 seconds
MAGA base and I mean the I I think you're misaligned with the president on this and many others are concerned about that as well.38:28
38 minutes, 28 seconds
Well, I represent the vast majority. I represent my district and I won my district.38:32
38 minutes, 32 seconds
Okay. So, as far as the uh the amnesty bill or the dignity dignity dod bill, because it's actually titled in Spanish,38:38
38 minutes, 38 seconds
amnesty. So, you are a hardcore anti-immigrant person. Well, you please start reading the New Testament every day. Maybe do you well?38:47
38 minutes, 47 seconds
You just hate immigrants. You hate immigrants. Notice the immediate identification of motive, which always it's always hate. Hate. Hate speech.38:57
38 minutes, 57 seconds
You're motivated by hate. You actually have a sincere question. What's the answer? You hate immigrants. You're a bad Christian. Maybe you should read the New Testament. Jesus calls for open borders. Really, where is that,39:07
39 minutes, 7 seconds
Congressman Bacon? That would have been an interesting question to ask.39:10
39 minutes, 10 seconds
Certainly, the answer would be, "Stop hating."39:13
39 minutes, 13 seconds
But what's so interesting is that rather than explain to that reporter why this is in the best interest of the United States,39:22
39 minutes, 22 seconds
he says, "We have to do this or else we're not Christian and we're haters."39:29
39 minutes, 29 seconds
So there is a kind of religious fervor about this this desire to change the population of the United States and to do it quickly. Now on the left, this has been the goal for a very long time.39:42
39 minutes, 42 seconds
Fairly famous picture came to light once again this week from a documentary done in the Southern Poverty Law Center and it shows taped on the wall of the SPLC39:50
39 minutes, 50 seconds
headquarters is a chart handwritten on the declining percentage of whites in the United States. That's the goal, of course. Why would that be the goal?40:00
40 minutes
Because the United States remaining majority white is for some reason terrifying. So terrifying and so40:07
40 minutes, 7 seconds
upsetting that even mentioning the dem the current demographic mix of the United States is considered a hate crime. Can't say that because the reality itself is considered repugnant.40:19
40 minutes, 19 seconds
For some people that is dangerous,40:22
40 minutes, 22 seconds
immoral, and unacceptable, and it must be changed. That's of course the purpose of this. There's no plausible economic benefit to continuing temporary40:31
40 minutes, 31 seconds
protective status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians. Like tell me how that's a win. Maybe it is. If it is, tell us how. They don't even bother.40:38
40 minutes, 38 seconds
Shut up, hater. Because of course, the true imperative is to change the complexion of the United States. And the left has been really clear about this.40:45
40 minutes, 45 seconds
Joe Biden said it out loud multiple times. That's a good thing. Nancy Pelosi said exactly the same thing. But now you have the neocon wing of the Republican40:53
40 minutes, 53 seconds
party also saying that's the goal.40:59
40 minutes, 59 seconds
What's so interesting is that even as they say out loud effectively, our deepest fear is that the United States41:07
41 minutes, 7 seconds
will be some kind of ethnostate with a racial majority that's white. That's a huge fear.41:14
41 minutes, 14 seconds
Even as they say that, they demand that Israel remain an ethnostate. Here's a tweet, and there are many, but here's41:22
41 minutes, 22 seconds
just from Don Bacon, the guy you just heard, calling that poor woman anti-immigrant, a hater, a bad Christian.41:28
41 minutes, 28 seconds
Here's his definition of support for Israel. And this is a tweet he sent this fall. Zionists believe the Jewish people41:37
41 minutes, 37 seconds
should have a homeland called Israel, as promised in the Bible. If you don't think Israel should exist as a Jewish41:44
41 minutes, 44 seconds
state, then I'd say you're an anti-semite.41:49
41 minutes, 49 seconds
You're an anti-semite. If you don't think that Israel is inherently and has a moral right to be a biblical right to be an ethnostate, not just a state, a Jewish state.42:01
42 minutes, 1 second
Now, a lot of us are kind of agnostic on this question. Israel wants to be an ethnostate. Fine. Okay. Not my country.42:08
42 minutes, 8 seconds
Not too upset about it. feel sorry for the mistreatment, the murder of Palestinians.42:14
42 minutes, 14 seconds
But a kind of core tenant of nationalism is each country gets to define its purpose and its vision for itself. And if it's not your country, it's kind of42:22
42 minutes, 22 seconds
not your business as long as they're not forcing you to say pay for it, which they are. But let's say they weren't.42:28
42 minutes, 28 seconds
And Israel wants to remain an ethnostate, fine. It is an ethnostate.42:32
42 minutes, 32 seconds
Don't know why it's embarrassing to say that. Don Bacon just said that you're an anti-semite if you don't want it to be a Jewish state. Okay, fine. Fair enough.42:40
42 minutes, 40 seconds
Don't agree with your definition of anti-semitism, but it's very important to Don Bacon that Israel remain an ethnostate and very important to most members of Congress. They'll tell you42:48
42 minutes, 48 seconds
this. But it's at the same time repugnant the idea that the United States should be an ethnostate. In other words, their number one goal as a policy42:56
42 minutes, 56 seconds
question is to keep Israel an ethnostate while preventing the United States from being one. What is that?43:04
43 minutes, 4 seconds
Why are those goals the inverse of one another? And why are they so important?43:11
43 minutes, 11 seconds
You would think a leader of our country be completely agnostic as to the demographic makeup of Israel. Why does that matter to us exactly?43:18
43 minutes, 18 seconds
What effect does that have on the United States? Why is that our concern? Again, as long as we don't have to pay for it,43:22
43 minutes, 22 seconds
your weird apartate system or the murder of your racial opponents, we shouldn't be paying for that. But as long as we're43:30
43 minutes, 30 seconds
not, how many members of Congress are standing up and saying it's really important that China remain 95%43:36
43 minutes, 36 seconds
Honchinese or it's bad that they remain 95% Honchinese? Members of Congress don't even know what the ethnic mix of China is. They don't care, but they know43:44
43 minutes, 44 seconds
a lot about the ethnic mix of the United States and Western Europe and Canada and New Zealand and Australia. And they're very opposed to those countries43:52
43 minutes, 52 seconds
remaining majority white. It's one of their main complaints about Russia. By the way, they fixed that problem in Ukraine because this war, which has been44:01
44 minutes, 1 second
supported from day one by the very same neocon lobby that got us into the war with Iran, that lobby has extended this44:09
44 minutes, 9 seconds
war with US and now European tax dollars to the point where so many Ukrainian men have been killed that Budanov, the number two in the Ukrainian government,44:18
44 minutes, 18 seconds
just the other day announced, "We're going to have to import Africans to live and work here because we don't have enough men. We're going to have to change the demographic mix of Ukraine44:26
44 minutes, 26 seconds
for all time. For all time. We're going to do what Gangaskhan was unable to do,44:31
44 minutes, 31 seconds
which is totally change the composition of who lives in Ukraine.44:36
44 minutes, 36 seconds
So Ukraine as a nation, the nation that existed 5 years ago,44:41
44 minutes, 41 seconds
will cease to exist. Period. And its farmland will likely be bought by foreigners because that's now legal44:48
44 minutes, 48 seconds
under Zalinski. So you just saw the elimination of a European country as it existed 5 years ago.44:57
44 minutes, 57 seconds
And you saw that not simply because Putin rolled over the border and invaded sovereign Ukraine. You saw that because45:04
45 minutes, 4 seconds
Western elites pushed that. That has been their overriding goal for the past four and a half years.45:13
45 minutes, 13 seconds
So now you're starting to understand that the goal is to allow really one ethnostate in the rest and not allow any others. Now why would that be the goal?45:24
45 minutes, 24 seconds
And the truth is no clue. No idea. That is so weird.45:29
45 minutes, 29 seconds
Dallas, there is some explanation. Maybe it's theological or spiritual. It it's above my level of understanding. But just noting the behavior and the public45:38
45 minutes, 38 seconds
statements of everyone involved, that's clearly the standard that they're holding this country and the rest of the world to. One ethnostate and one ethnostate only. And by the way, only45:46
45 minutes, 46 seconds
one country with an inherent quote right to exist. And if you press them, and I have, they will admit only one country has a right to exist. We may enjoy45:55
45 minutes, 55 seconds
having certain countries exist, and if they can defend themselves, they can continue to exist, but only one country possesses an inherent right to exist.46:04
46 minutes, 4 seconds
And that's also the only country that has a right to be an ethnostate. No European country possesses that right.46:10
46 minutes, 10 seconds
So why bring this up? Well, because there's no avoiding it. That's why. Not cuz it's a comfortable topic. Not because the people in charge are going to be happy to hear it. They won't be.46:22
46 minutes, 22 seconds
But because you should know it. We are in a moment of profound change. Whenever you're staring down the barrel of global46:28
46 minutes, 28 seconds
famine, which we are, and the end of our long-standing system of energy production and distribution, which we are,46:39
46 minutes, 39 seconds
whenever there's a a real possibility that someone uses nuclear weapons, which we face, despite whatever they tell you,46:45
46 minutes, 45 seconds
that is real. Doesn't mean it's going to happen. It could happen. You are looking at a world that is resetting. Big things46:52
46 minutes, 52 seconds
are changing. Not just little national borders but much more than that. The collapse of empires, the rise of others,46:59
46 minutes, 59 seconds
maybe even more than that.47:01
47 minutes, 1 second
So you should know the motives of the people involved. And there is no topic that reveals motives more clearly than47:09
47 minutes, 9 seconds
the question of speech which is the foundation of freedom in all countries at all times and is the basis of our system of government.47:21
47 minutes, 21 seconds
Democracy cannot work unless people are free to say what they think is true.47:26
47 minutes, 26 seconds
Because how can you cast an informed vote if you don't know the facts? Well,47:30
47 minutes, 30 seconds
if you're prevented from speaking honestly about what you think those facts are, of course, you can't cast an informed vote and the entire system falls apart. But it's even deeper than47:38
47 minutes, 38 seconds
that. You cannot tell a sovereign human being what he must say or believe. Period.47:47
47 minutes, 47 seconds
Because those rights are inherent. Human beings are born with the right to say and believe what they think is true.47:56
47 minutes, 56 seconds
That right was given them by God, not by government. So if you take it away, you are by definition treating people as48:03
48 minutes, 3 seconds
subhuman. You are telling them you cannot speak because you don't possess those rights because I consider you a48:11
48 minutes, 11 seconds
slave. So this really is the difference between freedom and slavery. So whenever you hear people say using whatever48:18
48 minutes, 18 seconds
pretext they come up with at the moment you're not allowed to say that you are watching an attempt by the people in48:25
48 minutes, 25 seconds
charge to enslave the people they rule over. And you are and it brings great sadness to acknowledge this. You are48:34
48 minutes, 34 seconds
watching right now the people that if you're watching this you may have voted for the president and the constellation of supporters around him, office holders around him call for censorship.48:47
48 minutes, 47 seconds
Now, we're going to begin explaining and showing that this is true with a clip from someone you always kind of feel guilty playing these because it is Mark48:55
48 minutes, 55 seconds
Levin, after all, who was an audience in the in the dozens organically, but who has been pretty reliably used as a mouthpiece for what's coming next from this administration over the past year.49:07
49 minutes, 7 seconds
He is, we know this because the president has said it many times, very close to the president and fully aligned with the president according to the president's own description. So here is49:16
49 minutes, 16 seconds
Mark Leavvin's solution to America's greatest and most pressing problem from his perspective, which is criticism of the government of Israel. Here's what we49:24
49 minutes, 24 seconds
should do about it, says Mark Levin. The violence that is being preached on different broad broadcast broadcast platforms49:32
49 minutes, 32 seconds
by different politicians largely not exclusively largely Democrats largely leftists Marxist49:40
49 minutes, 40 seconds
Islamist although we have the woke Reich REIC is horrendous and I believe is really49:48
49 minutes, 48 seconds
really uh adding fuel to the fire of hate out there and making it very very difficult for a free people to even have49:55
49 minutes, 55 seconds
a discussion about what they want or how they want it and so forth. Um, and so it's not the first time things like this50:03
50 minutes, 3 seconds
have happened, but it really is problematic because so much of it is protected.50:09
50 minutes, 9 seconds
And you have people say, "Don't you believe in the First Amendment?" They don't even know what the First Amendment believe. Uh, do you want to deplatform people? You know, the libs do that. I50:17
50 minutes, 17 seconds
don't have any problem with deplatforming Nazis.50:22
50 minutes, 22 seconds
Now, it's hard. It's hard not to laugh at a Levin clip, but it's not an attack on him, but it's just the irony is so50:29
50 minutes, 29 seconds
rich. Um, so he begins by saying that people who criticize the government of Israel are espousing violence. Now, this is coming from a guy who's literally50:37
50 minutes, 37 seconds
called pretty recently on the air on Fox News for nuclear strikes against the government of Iran, who has relentlessly50:45
50 minutes, 45 seconds
defended the murder of civilians by this and the Israeli government. So for this person to say that opponents of violence50:53
50 minutes, 53 seconds
are actually the ones espousing violence is hilarious uh but on brand because it's of course always the sin they're51:02
51 minutes, 2 seconds
committing that they accuse you of being guilty of always and everywhere. It's the perfect inversion which is the hallmark of evil. The evil lie is never51:10
51 minutes, 10 seconds
5 degrees from the truth. It's 180 degrees from the truth. They accuse you of what they're doing and that's how you know it's not simply proication. It is a51:19
51 minutes, 19 seconds
denial of the existence of truth. But in any case, you see Mark Levvin saying people who criticize the government of51:25
51 minutes, 25 seconds
Israel and that is his and to extent there is one the official definition of anti-semitism is criticism of the government of Israel. The secular51:33
51 minutes, 33 seconds
government of Israel which is not supported by all Jews that's for sure.51:38
51 minutes, 38 seconds
But no matter criticism of a foreign government is hate tantamount to violence is stochastic51:47
51 minutes, 47 seconds
terrorism, the left might say. And Mark Levvin, the right-wing MAGA guy, is51:54
51 minutes, 54 seconds
saying those people should be silenced by the tech companies. But that's not censorship because somehow it's not.52:03
52 minutes, 3 seconds
Well, that is exactly what Republicans,52:06
52 minutes, 6 seconds
including Donald Trump, described as censorship when the last Democratic administration did it at scale during CO. That is exactly what they were52:15
52 minutes, 15 seconds
talking about when they said the Biden administration engages in censorship. And they were right.52:20
52 minutes, 20 seconds
telling tech companies which are dependent on federal contracts that they have to tow a political line52:28
52 minutes, 28 seconds
is the same as banning speech because tech companies are the conduits through speech flows. So yes, that is censorship legally and morally.52:39
52 minutes, 39 seconds
And Mark Leavvin, who has positions that are shared by only a tiny percentage of the American population, and this is knowable through public opinion polling,52:47
52 minutes, 47 seconds
is telling you that anyone who disagrees with him must be silenced.52:53
52 minutes, 53 seconds
But he's just a weekend host on Fox News. Who cares what Mark Leven says?52:57
52 minutes, 57 seconds
Well, as if on Q, Mark Leavvin's suggestion on Fox News has now been bolstered by an actual piece of53:06
53 minutes, 6 seconds
legislation sponsored by Josh Gottenheimer, the Democrat from New Jersey, and amazingly, Republican Magest Stalwart,53:14
53 minutes, 14 seconds
Mike Lawler, two of the most floorid and least ashamed neoons in the United States Congress, introduced legislation53:21
53 minutes, 21 seconds
today to compel the tech companies to ban people who criticize Israel.53:27
53 minutes, 27 seconds
the government of Israel because that's hate. And under the IH definition of anti-semitism, they're right.53:35
53 minutes, 35 seconds
The definition that's been encoded in law in the majority of American states and in 40 countries around the world,53:42
53 minutes, 42 seconds
the definition we didn't pay any attention to because it seemed too dumb and like who cares? That definition is now the operative definition and it53:49
53 minutes, 49 seconds
means that criticizing the behavior of a foreign government is a hate crime and can get you censored in your own country.54:01
54 minutes, 1 second
So what's the takeaway from all this?54:02
54 minutes, 2 seconds
Well, the first takeaway is censorship is coming and it will work unless people exercise their god-given and first54:10
54 minutes, 10 seconds
amendment guaranteed right to push back against it with words and do so at high volume without any shame at all.54:19
54 minutes, 19 seconds
It's going to need a refusal to be intimidated by false claims of quote hate. And any Republican who voted for Donald Trump because he was sick of54:27
54 minutes, 27 seconds
being told to shut up racist should join this chorus. No, you're not going to intimidate me into being quiet about the behavior of a foreign government that I pay for just because you call it hate.54:37
54 minutes, 37 seconds
Not playing that game. Sorry, I voted against this and I'm going to stand on principle and fight it now no matter what. That's the first thing. But the54:44
54 minutes, 44 seconds
second thing to know is that the motive here is dark. This is not how you would ever treat people you cared about. This54:53
54 minutes, 53 seconds
is how you treat people you hate. People you have contempt for, who you find inconvenient, annoying, whose mere presence you find grading. You'd rather55:02
55 minutes, 2 seconds
live next to Haitians under temporary protective status than next to birthright Americans who have these55:09
55 minutes, 9 seconds
outmoded expectations of like a job and health care they can pay for in an emergency room that's not crowded with people who don't speak English and I55:18
55 minutes, 18 seconds
don't know the right to say what they think, the right to complain about their leaders, even the right to complain about the behavior of a foreign country that they pay for.55:28
55 minutes, 28 seconds
You hate people like that. And there may be other reasons you hate them, but you certainly hate them because they are a55:35
55 minutes, 35 seconds
reminder of how you have failed. You have not done a good job running this country. You don't even care to try.55:42
55 minutes, 42 seconds
You'd rather run the world or the empire. You don't want to improve Baltimore. You don't care about Gary Indiana. Rural America makes you sick.55:50
55 minutes, 50 seconds
As Bill Crystal said, all those coupon clippers and people just barely holding on.55:56
55 minutes, 56 seconds
Normal leaders would ask themselves, why are people mad? What are they dissatisfied with? How can I help them? They're clearly in pain.56:04
56 minutes, 4 seconds
They should have asked this question when Trump got elected the first time.56:07
56 minutes, 7 seconds
Why would you elect an orange guy who ran casinos in Atlantic City when there all kinds of great candidates, Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz, you had a lot to choose from, but you chose Trump?56:17
56 minutes, 17 seconds
A normal, reflective person would reach the only conclusion possible, which is because they're dissatisfied with me.56:23
56 minutes, 23 seconds
and maybe I need to change and serve their needs better and listen to them once in a while and not dismiss them with the back of the hand or charges of bad motives or hate or censorship.56:34
56 minutes, 34 seconds
But they haven't done that and they haven't even tried to do that. They've never looked inward once in 10 years and now they've reached the point of maximum56:41
56 minutes, 41 seconds
frustration where the biggest thing they've ever done which is tried to regime change the Iranian government and it hasn't worked. That's the biggest thing they've ever done. they staked56:48
56 minutes, 48 seconds
everything on that and you should just know that at this point now that that's not working out. They will not be mad at themselves.56:57
56 minutes, 57 seconds
They're going to be mad at you for not liking it or appreciating it or for talking about it at all or for holding on to your outdated expectations about57:05
57 minutes, 5 seconds
what life in this country was like then and should be now.57:09
57 minutes, 9 seconds
And above all for the insistence that you have as a voter and an American that the people in charge should serve you, not just themselves and their families.57:18
57 minutes, 18 seconds
your insistence that wait a second this Epstein thing. What is the Epstein thing? Shut up.57:26
57 minutes, 26 seconds
By the way, it's just a few years ago that Harvard University took the name of Charles Glass off a building. Congressman,57:34
57 minutes, 34 seconds
the GlassSteagall Act of 1933, half written by Congressman Glass and took his name off a building. Why?57:42
57 minutes, 42 seconds
Cuz he was a racist. And we have to get rid of all racists on the buildings at Harvard because we're making a moral statement. Harvard does not tolerate racism. Even retroactively, if we find a57:51
57 minutes, 51 seconds
racist with a name on a building at Harvard, we're taking it off. So pure are our motives. But guess whose name is still there? Not just on a building, but58:01
58 minutes, 1 second
on the building at the entrance of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard at the entrance, the Lex Wexner building. Les Wexner, the guy who58:09
58 minutes, 9 seconds
bankrolled Epstein, whatever Epstein was accused of, Wexner probably helped pay for it.58:18
58 minutes, 18 seconds
And his name is still on the building at Harvard. Now, why is that meaningful? Because it's a humiliation exercise. It's a really clear statement.58:26
58 minutes, 26 seconds
Your ancestors were flawed, disgusting, were taking their names off, tearing the monuments down.58:34
58 minutes, 34 seconds
But Les Wexner, no. It's You may hate it. We don't care what you think.58:39
58 minutes, 39 seconds
It's the Less Wexner building at Harvard. You getting the message now?58:45
58 minutes, 45 seconds
It's a middle finger to you.58:49
58 minutes, 49 seconds
That's hatred. You would think that just out of politeness, you would take Wexner's name off the building.58:58
58 minutes, 58 seconds
You would think that, right?59:00
59 minutes
You would think just out of like a sense of duty that you might put some of the people who run Purdue Pharma in jail at least for maybe one day just59:07
59 minutes, 7 seconds
symbolically your product killed tens of thousands of Americans and you knew it was doing it. You sold it anyway.59:16
59 minutes, 16 seconds
No. Not one person, not one day. You'd think like the heads of the big banks tank the global economy, the global59:23
59 minutes, 23 seconds
financial crisis. You think like one of them could go to jail for one day? Nope.59:28
59 minutes, 28 seconds
Nope. It's your fault. You borrowed too much.59:33
59 minutes, 33 seconds
So, we have seen the outline of their contempt for a long time. It's not just indifference, it's loathing and it's59:40
59 minutes, 40 seconds
aimed at the population. And now it's coming to a head because war is by definition crisis and it forces pre-existing trends to the surface.59:50
59 minutes, 50 seconds
And you should be prepared for however this manifests because it's definitely coming. So, there is the coolest movie59:58
59 minutes, 58 seconds
we can imagine. It's a new film adaptation of George Orwell's amazing novel, Animal Farm.1:00:06
1 hour, 6 seconds
1984 gets all the attention, but Animal Farm is better. It's coming to theaters May 1st. You probably remember that Animal Farm is not actually about1:00:14
1 hour, 14 seconds
animals. It's about human nature, the desire for authority, and how quickly people tend to fall in the line and give1:00:21
1 hour, 21 seconds
up all of their god-given rights. The movie follows Lucky, a young pig whose curiosity and courage guide viewers1:00:29
1 hour, 29 seconds
through the farm's rise and fall. We see hope, betrayal, and above all, the danger of totalitarian power. This is a movie to watch with your kids,1:00:37
1 hour, 37 seconds
especially if they're old enough to ask real questions and to notice when the answers don't add up. The book affected generations of American school kids, no1:00:46
1 hour, 46 seconds
longer taught, of course, cuz it's too true. What do you do when the rules start changing, you're told you're not allowed to notice? Do you speak up or you just go along with it because, hey,1:00:56
1 hour, 56 seconds
that's easier. That's the conversation you should have with your kids about power, corruption, and freedom. This1:01:04
1 hour, 1 minute, 4 seconds
movie is entertaining. It's sharp. Not many studios would do it at this point,1:01:07
1 hour, 1 minute, 7 seconds
but Angel did because their guild members voted to bring it to the big screen. So see it, talk about it, decide for yourself what it means. Animal Farm1:01:15
1 hour, 1 minute, 15 seconds
theaters May 1st. Tickets available now at angel.com/tucker.1:01:21
1 hour, 1 minute, 21 seconds
So is there a connection? Well, there obviously is. What exactly is the connection between neoonservative politics, the desire to regime change1:01:28
1 hour, 1 minute, 28 seconds
foreign powers despite the total lack of benefit to the United States and the desire to radically change the1:01:36
1 hour, 1 minute, 36 seconds
demographic mix of the United States and the desire to, I don't know, lend money at high interest or let any of the festering social problems in this country go unressed.1:01:46
1 hour, 1 minute, 46 seconds
What is the connection? You really have to serve in the Congress to know. And Marjorie Taylor Green did for 5 years from Georgia. Whether you agree with her1:01:54
1 hour, 1 minute, 54 seconds
or not, you'd have to say one of the most sincere people ever to serve in the Congress. So sincere that when she found out that all of it was fake, she left.1:02:01
1 hour, 2 minutes, 1 second
We thought it'd be worth asking her what is going on here. Ladies and gentlemen, Marjorie Taylor Green. Congressman,1:02:08
1 hour, 2 minutes, 8 seconds
thanks a lot for joining us. So you pretty recently served in in the US House, so maybe you could answer this question. Why is it that so many of the1:02:17
1 hour, 2 minutes, 17 seconds
members of Congress who support this war, who supported the Iraq war, who support every pointless, counterproductive foreign entanglement,1:02:26
1 hour, 2 minutes, 26 seconds
are also the very same people who were trying to force Americans to take the COVID shot, who voted to put spyw wear1:02:33
1 hour, 2 minutes, 33 seconds
in people's cars, who are for the castration of children, who ignore the opioid crisis, and who are for mass1:02:41
1 hour, 2 minutes, 41 seconds
migration. Why would neocon politics bring you to a place where you support all of these other things that are not1:02:49
1 hour, 2 minutes, 49 seconds
connected to foreign policy but that are also bad for the population of this country? Like what what's the connector?1:02:56
1 hour, 2 minutes, 56 seconds
Well, the obvious uh first response any any person with common sense would say I have no idea why they would ever do that. Right.1:03:05
1 hour, 3 minutes, 5 seconds
Fair.1:03:05
1 hour, 3 minutes, 5 seconds
And and then secondly, I think the question is why do Americans keep voting for these people? And I I think the1:03:14
1 hour, 3 minutes, 14 seconds
responsibility falls on the voters to get rid of them. But I'll tell you why they keep voting for those things.1:03:20
1 hour, 3 minutes, 20 seconds
Tucker, having served in Congress for 5 years, what I learned from the inside is there are very powerful industries and1:03:29
1 hour, 3 minutes, 29 seconds
their their lobby um they're very powerful lobbyist and the financial donations and structures that are built1:03:37
1 hour, 3 minutes, 37 seconds
behind them is what entangles these politicians uh into supporting things that are unimaginable, things that1:03:45
1 hour, 3 minutes, 45 seconds
Americans do not vote for. like you said, um, gender affirming care,1:03:49
1 hour, 3 minutes, 49 seconds
transing children, uh, requiring cars to have AI, big tech technology in them1:03:56
1 hour, 3 minutes, 56 seconds
where they won't start if if the AI deems that you're not capable of driving. Um, the list goes on and on.1:04:05
1 hour, 4 minutes, 5 seconds
Voting for FISA 702 without warrants,1:04:09
1 hour, 4 minutes, 9 seconds
warrantless spying on Americans. That's actually happening. I think they're having a vote right now on the House floor on the rule to move forward to do1:04:16
1 hour, 4 minutes, 16 seconds
that. I you can't it doesn't make sense why they support these things, but I can tell you that it has a lot to do with1:04:24
1 hour, 4 minutes, 24 seconds
the power structure in Washington DC and it supports both Republicans and Democrats1:04:31
1 hour, 4 minutes, 31 seconds
I think it's such a a good point to make because it's not ideological at least in a way that people my age can understand.1:04:40
1 hour, 4 minutes, 40 seconds
There's nothing conservative about allowing the government to spy on you.1:04:46
1 hour, 4 minutes, 46 seconds
There's nothing liberal about it in a traditional sense either. These are not liberal, conservative, left, right, even Republican, Democrat divides.1:04:54
1 hour, 4 minutes, 54 seconds
It's almost like there's a group that's for authoritarian policies that hurt Americans.1:05:01
1 hour, 5 minutes, 1 second
And that's kind of what connects all of these positions.1:05:05
1 hour, 5 minutes, 5 seconds
No, absolutely. Um they're bought and paid for. they do not represent the American people or the American people's interest. Um and and it's because1:05:14
1 hour, 5 minutes, 14 seconds
they're funded that way. Uh take for example, oh my gosh, this was shocking to me. Um just last week, last week,1:05:22
1 hour, 5 minutes, 22 seconds
right? 57 Republicans voted no on an amendment to stop the government from controlling your car. Like that what we're talking about, the AI capability.1:05:34
1 hour, 5 minutes, 34 seconds
This was something that Biden and the Democrats, they passed a law uh when I was serving in Congress, of course, I voted no to it. And the law is to1:05:43
1 hour, 5 minutes, 43 seconds
require every new car starting in 2027 to have technology in there to be able to basically scan you and determine if1:05:51
1 hour, 5 minutes, 51 seconds
you're drunk, if you're if you're capable, if you're if you're healthy and fit and capable of of driving your automobile. Um, and the car will not1:06:00
1 hour, 6 minutes
start if if AI determines that you're not. Now, 57 Republicans voted no on a on an amendment to stop that from1:06:09
1 hour, 6 minutes, 9 seconds
happening. And I was shocked. It's your usuals, you know, um,1:06:14
1 hour, 6 minutes, 14 seconds
well, Mike Lawler, Don Bacon, Randy Fine, but I was really surprised to see a name on the list, a recently elected1:06:22
1 hour, 6 minutes, 22 seconds
Republican, Brian Jack from Georgia, who campaigned as being a conservative. I know his district really well. It was just to the south of my old district.1:06:32
1 hour, 6 minutes, 32 seconds
these people don't support that. But yet his name was on there and the question is how how did he fall into that trap1:06:40
1 hour, 6 minutes, 40 seconds
and why in the world would he vote no on an amendment to to stop the government from basically controlling your vehicle?1:06:48
1 hour, 6 minutes, 48 seconds
But this is they get pulled in and it it all happens through fundraising and um I it's the most unreal thing I've ever1:06:56
1 hour, 6 minutes, 56 seconds
seen in my life. So, back to that, and the only I guess the only thing I would quibble with in your description is the term your vehicle. If the government can1:07:05
1 hour, 7 minutes, 5 seconds
turn it off, it's not your vehicle anymore. They just took your vehicle from you. It's not yours. You don't have control over it despite the fact you pay for it and keep up with the insurance1:07:13
1 hour, 7 minutes, 13 seconds
and the maintenance. Um, but to this question of the member from your delegation, the Georgia delegation, who1:07:20
1 hour, 7 minutes, 20 seconds
just got elected as a quote conservative, presumably for civil liberties and freedom and the constitution,1:07:26
1 hour, 7 minutes, 26 seconds
like how specifically do you think someone like that could wind up casting a vote this obviously authoritarian, this obviously1:07:35
1 hour, 7 minutes, 35 seconds
in contradiction to his own stated values? Like what was the process that got him there? Do you imagine?1:07:41
1 hour, 7 minutes, 41 seconds
Climbing the leadership ladder. uh wanting to basically be the chairman of the NRCC, wanting to be fully integrated1:07:50
1 hour, 7 minutes, 50 seconds
and in charge of all fundraising for the House GOP. That's that's probably what pulled him in. Um Brian Jack, who I1:07:58
1 hour, 7 minutes, 58 seconds
actually campaigned for, I endorsed him because I believed he would be America first. Um so I was really shocked to see his name on this list. Actually,1:08:06
1 hour, 8 minutes, 6 seconds
actually really disgusted with it. Um I'm I'm very unhappy that his name is on this list. makes me regret endorsing him. Um, I bet.1:08:15
1 hour, 8 minutes, 15 seconds
Yeah, for sure. But he his history is he was in uh on the political side for the president in the first administration,1:08:22
1 hour, 8 minutes, 22 seconds
which means he worked with all the candidates and and all the donors. Um,1:08:27
1 hour, 8 minutes, 27 seconds
then he was on the polit he worked on the political operation for former speaker Kevin McCarthy uh when he was the minority leader and then became1:08:35
1 hour, 8 minutes, 35 seconds
speaker of the house. Um, so he's very donor driven, big donor-driven Washington DC donors, donors that require government contracts, donors um,1:08:45
1 hour, 8 minutes, 45 seconds
that are going to basically keep the big industries propped up and going. And so that's what would pull uh, a Republican1:08:53
1 hour, 8 minutes, 53 seconds
that that campaigned on being America first, campaigned on being MAGA,1:08:57
1 hour, 8 minutes, 57 seconds
campaigned on, you know, being a conservative. Uh it's all the it's the donarddriven money that happens behind1:09:04
1 hour, 9 minutes, 4 seconds
the scenes that pulls a Republican over to that side. And when I say Republican driven, it's power. It's it's it's just1:09:14
1 hour, 9 minutes, 14 seconds
sheer power. In Washington DC, a member of Congress can get can fully fill their1:09:20
1 hour, 9 minutes, 20 seconds
campaign coffers with just a few uh uh fundraisers in Washington DC where you1:09:27
1 hour, 9 minutes, 27 seconds
have the industry giants there say whether it's the militaryindustrial um complex the base there those1:09:34
1 hour, 9 minutes, 34 seconds
companies um whether it's uh pharmaceutical companies big tech companies um you name it any industry1:09:43
1 hour, 9 minutes, 43 seconds
that that is trying to get this candidate to support the things that they desperately need to empower them,1:09:49
1 hour, 9 minutes, 49 seconds
empower their companies, help their companies become richer and richer and richer and dominate in their industry.1:09:56
1 hour, 9 minutes, 56 seconds
They'll show these executives will show up with their wives. Um, and they'll have 10 to 20, maybe 30 of them there,1:10:04
1 hour, 10 minutes, 4 seconds
and they're writing max checks, max checks from on behalf of themselves, max checks on behalf of their wives, and they will be there supporting this um,1:10:14
1 hour, 10 minutes, 14 seconds
Republican member of Congress that needs to get reelected, and they can make hundreds of thousands of dollars, up to1:10:23
1 hour, 10 minutes, 23 seconds
a million dollars like that on just a few of those fundraisers. And so these Republicans that are flying back and forth to Washington DC every week,1:10:32
1 hour, 10 minutes, 32 seconds
they're away from their family, they're away from their friends, they're away from the people that elected them, which makes them forget what's important. Uh1:10:39
1 hour, 10 minutes, 39 seconds
they get really lazy and it gets easy to just have a couple of fundraisers where you're getting drunk on cocktails and eating little weenies on a stick or1:10:48
1 hour, 10 minutes, 48 seconds
whatever they're serving up there in the Capitol Hill Club. And th this is how they'll make all that money. And it's a lot easier than having to go back to1:10:56
1 hour, 10 minutes, 56 seconds
your district, face your district, have personal meetings with the the donors and the good people that live in your district. It's a lot easier just to just1:11:06
1 hour, 11 minutes, 6 seconds
to depend on those little fundraisers and hang around with the lobbyists and the people in Washington that you're seeing every single week than it is to1:11:14
1 hour, 11 minutes, 14 seconds
go back home and say, "Hey, you guys, I got to get reelected. Can you support my campaign? I'd appreciate pitching in $50 or $100 or if you're capable, a max1:11:23
1 hour, 11 minutes, 23 seconds
donation would be great. You know, I've got to get reelected to keep representing you. And so that's how they they some of the ones that have good1:11:31
1 hour, 11 minutes, 31 seconds
intentions. That's how they fall into it. But Tucker, there's a whole other side. There are Republican members of1:11:40
1 hour, 11 minutes, 40 seconds
Congress that never had good intentions ever. Yeah.1:11:44
1 hour, 11 minutes, 44 seconds
Ever. and they came into the House of Representatives already completely supported and propped up and funded by1:11:53
1 hour, 11 minutes, 53 seconds
this nasty entanglement I'm talking about in Washington. And I watched it with my own eyes when I watched Mike Lawler get elected.1:12:02
1 hour, 12 minutes, 2 seconds
Cost of living is already making it hard to live here and it's not getting any better. Unfortunately, it's likely to get worse. And a lot of Americans fill the gap with credit cards, not just for1:12:11
1 hour, 12 minutes, 11 seconds
fancy dinners, but to cover things like groceries and bills. That is a disaster.1:12:16
1 hour, 12 minutes, 16 seconds
It's understandable, but don't go down that road because there is a tax in effect, a survival tax of 20% interest or more. Why would you do that? Why1:12:25
1 hour, 12 minutes, 25 seconds
would you hand money to the big banks when you could keep it for your family?1:12:28
1 hour, 12 minutes, 28 seconds
Our friends at American Financing have a better way. If you're looking to buy your first home or refinance your current one, they're helping Americans1:12:36
1 hour, 12 minutes, 36 seconds
achieve the dream of home ownership with monthly mortgage rates currently in the fives. American Financing saves its customers an average of 800 bucks per1:12:44
1 hour, 12 minutes, 44 seconds
month. That's nearly 10 grand every year back to you. This isn't just a loan. It's a total financial reset.1:12:52
1 hour, 12 minutes, 52 seconds
So, debt is tough, but there's a smart way to do it and a reckless,1:12:56
1 hour, 12 minutes, 56 seconds
self-destructive way to do it. Credit cards. And so, we recommend American Financing. They're salary based, not commission based, which means they actually work for you, not the banks.1:13:05
1 hour, 13 minutes, 5 seconds
They're called America's Home for Home Loans for a reason. Call 8006855696.1:13:13

So Mike Lawler is kind and Don Bacon is another name you mentioned a minute ago,1:13:25
1 hour, 13 minutes, 25 seconds
but is kind of a metaphor for the corruption in the system, it would seem to me. So Mike Lawler obviously is way1:13:32
1 hour, 13 minutes, 32 seconds
out there on pointless wars, neocon politics, loyalty to Israel, um almost to a cartoonish point,1:13:41
1 hour, 13 minutes, 41 seconds
but he's also leading the charge on every other antihuman initiative that comes out of the United States Congress.1:13:48
1 hour, 13 minutes, 48 seconds
Anything that's bad for the public, he's for. Anything that might help the public, he ignores. Like, what is that?1:13:55
1 hour, 13 minutes, 55 seconds
Who what is his motive? Do you understand? I'll go back to when he when he was a candidate uh for Congress. I1:14:04
1 hour, 14 minutes, 4 seconds
was already serving in the House and um in our conference meetings in our GOP conference meetings, the ones that we have at the Capitol Hill, we have two1:14:12
1 hour, 14 minutes, 12 seconds
different type of conference meetings each week. There's one meeting a week and it's kind of sad that your Republican representatives only meet one1:14:21
1 hour, 14 minutes, 21 seconds
time a week, but once a week and one is either political and that one happens inside the capital and then there's1:14:29
1 hour, 14 minutes, 29 seconds
another kind that's completely and totally campaign and fundraising related. That one happens off-campus at1:14:36
1 hour, 14 minutes, 36 seconds
the Capitol Hill Club. And um they bring in candidates. They'll bring in, you know, any new candidate running for Congress. That of course is only1:14:44
1 hour, 14 minutes, 44 seconds
approved by the NRCC and approved by the traditional establishment Republican party in Washington. So, they will bring1:14:53
1 hour, 14 minutes, 53 seconds
in these candidates into this GOP meeting. They'll have them stand up, raise their hand, introduce themselves. uh the speaker or who or the leader,1:15:01
1 hour, 15 minutes, 1 second
whoever is talking will praise them and explain to everyone in the room why they've got to write them a max check immediately and help get them elected1:15:09
1 hour, 15 minutes, 9 seconds
because they're fighting to become part of the team. So, I remember specifically when Michael Lawler came in and um he1:15:17
1 hour, 15 minutes, 17 seconds
was welcomed in by everybody. I mean, he was propped up as the guy we have to fight for. One of the most critical1:15:24
1 hour, 15 minutes, 24 seconds
races as an incoming Republican candidate because it was a very close district and it was so we were told it was so important to win this district.1:15:35
1 hour, 15 minutes, 35 seconds
Well, I learned a lot about him very quickly. He as a Catholic, Mike Lawler as a Catholic, was heavily supported and1:15:43
1 hour, 15 minutes, 43 seconds
funded by um the Jewish community there and was heavily being supported by all the Christian Zionist. And he instantly1:15:52
1 hour, 15 minutes, 52 seconds
had more support from pretty much every fundraising mechanism that there is in Washington DC that supports Republicans.1:16:00
1 hour, 16 minutes
He had more help than I could have ever dreamed of having ever in my entire political career. And I was like, "Wow,1:16:08
1 hour, 16 minutes, 8 seconds
what is going on with this guy?" And it it turns out uh he did win his race. It was it was a narrow victory, but he did1:16:16
1 hour, 16 minutes, 16 seconds
win it. And of course, he was in he instantly came into the House of Representatives completely bought and1:16:24
1 hour, 16 minutes, 24 seconds
paid for by all of the establishment donor class that had supported him. He hated Donald Trump, made fun of him1:16:33
1 hour, 16 minutes, 33 seconds
constantly, mimicked him, making fun of his voice. He used to attack me, make fun of me, come and find me on the House1:16:40
1 hour, 16 minutes, 40 seconds
floor and make fun of me for supporting Donald Trump. And this was this was in the four years before Trump got elected as president again in 2024.1:16:50
1 hour, 16 minutes, 50 seconds
And um he was I was just like, this guy's like literally one of the wor well, I would say he's the worst, but1:16:57
1 hour, 16 minutes, 57 seconds
Randy Fine is really the worst. But Mike Lawler was unbelievably I I thought he was a Democrat. I was1:17:05
1 hour, 17 minutes, 5 seconds
like, he's literally a Democrat. He's so against all the things that Republican voters care about and he clearly hates1:17:12
1 hour, 17 minutes, 12 seconds
Donald Trump. Well, I saw this unbelievable change in him. And of course, it happened after Trump won his1:17:20
1 hour, 17 minutes, 20 seconds
primary in 2024. All of a sudden, Mike Lawler, I started joking. I started calling him MAGA Mike Lawler because he1:17:29
1 hour, 17 minutes, 29 seconds
was all of a sudden like becoming Trump's biggest supporter and he was all excited. He got a MAGA hat signed by1:17:36
1 hour, 17 minutes, 36 seconds
Donald Trump. Came straight up to me to show it to me. And I'll never forget the day that he had gone and met with the1:17:44
1 hour, 17 minutes, 44 seconds
the president at the White House. Of course, I was not invited. Only this new all the Republicans that hated the president before. Let me tell you,1:17:53
1 hour, 17 minutes, 53 seconds
Tucker, it all changed when Trump went in the White House. Literally, in a matter of months, those of us that1:18:00
1 hour, 18 minutes
fought for him, fought for him when no one else would, who were the basically like the inner circle, we all of a1:18:07
1 hour, 18 minutes, 7 seconds
sudden got kicked out. And it was the Republicans like Mike Lawler and all these other guys that were the ones1:18:14
1 hour, 18 minutes, 14 seconds
being constantly ushered into the White House for meetings and all kinds of things. So, he came back on the House floor one day and he had one of Trump's1:18:22
1 hour, 18 minutes, 22 seconds
gigantic um challenge coins that's like big and gold and obnoxious and heavy and um he came up and he was like, "I've got1:18:30
1 hour, 18 minutes, 30 seconds
one of these, Marjorie. Do you have one of these?" And he was all bragging about it. But you know what that told me,1:18:36
1 hour, 18 minutes, 36 seconds
Tucker, is what I really reflecting on it now that I didn't really realize at that time was that the president, not1:18:45
1 hour, 18 minutes, 45 seconds
only had was Michael Lawler fully bought and paid for by this and Don Bacon and all these other guys fully bought and paid for by the political industrial1:18:54
1 hour, 18 minutes, 54 seconds
complex that maintains the power structure in Washington that is completely America last. But the fact1:19:01
1 hour, 19 minutes, 1 second
that they were the ones now first on the list to go to the White House and the ones being courted all the time, that1:19:08
1 hour, 19 minutes, 8 seconds
meant that that's when the president also became bought and paid for by the exact same group of people, powerful1:19:17
1 hour, 19 minutes, 17 seconds
people, powerful donor class, and the powerful industries.1:19:23
1 hour, 19 minutes, 23 seconds
So the reason Mike Lawler was unusual even in the Congress was he was such a sla slavish servant of Israel from his very first public statements.1:19:34
1 hour, 19 minutes, 34 seconds
Everything was about Israel.1:19:35
1 hour, 19 minutes, 35 seconds
Um he comes from a district with a lot of problems. I didn't read a single solution to any of those problems he was proposing, but it was always about1:19:42
1 hour, 19 minutes, 42 seconds
Israel. Would you say that the group that hated Trump and then early in the term got invitations to the White House,1:19:49
1 hour, 19 minutes, 49 seconds
were they all servants of Israel? Yeah. Oh, 100%.1:19:56
1 hour, 19 minutes, 56 seconds
They Are you kidding me, Tucker? When I introduced an amendment to defund Israel just last year, this was It hasn't even1:20:04
1 hour, 20 minutes, 4 seconds
been a year yet. Only five other members of Congress, five out of 435, only five1:20:12
1 hour, 20 minutes, 12 seconds
voted with me to defund American taxpayer dollars going to Israel. So1:20:19
1 hour, 20 minutes, 19 seconds
that's your count if you want to know how many members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are completely1:20:26
1 hour, 20 minutes, 26 seconds
beholdened to funding Israel. No matter what they do, no matter how much genocide they commit, no matter h how1:20:34
1 hour, 20 minutes, 34 seconds
many Lebanon Christian villages they destroy, no matter which country they decide to bomb out of their madness and and desire for destruction,1:20:46
1 hour, 20 minutes, 46 seconds
there's only it it was only five. It total six of us. There were six of us, including myself. That's your count.1:20:54
1 hour, 20 minutes, 54 seconds
I I assume Massie was one of those.1:20:56
1 hour, 20 minutes, 56 seconds
Of course, Thomas Massie was one. Of course. Yeah, he's not bought and paid for his race.1:21:05
1 hour, 21 minutes, 5 seconds
None of the other ones really matter.1:21:08
1 hour, 21 minutes, 8 seconds
I don't want to get too sidetracked, but I just since you you mentioned his race, where uh is that race now?1:21:15
1 hour, 21 minutes, 15 seconds
It it is tightened. Um he's still in the lead, but it's definitely tightened.1:21:20
1 hour, 21 minutes, 20 seconds
I've seen different polling. It's it's got him anywhere of approximately 5 to seven points ahead of this guy named Ed1:21:27
1 hour, 21 minutes, 27 seconds
Galrin, who by the way, Ed Galrin won't even show up to debate Thomas Massie.1:21:34
1 hour, 21 minutes, 34 seconds
Like, that's one of it's like campaign 101. If you're running for Congress, you should be able to show up to a debate in1:21:42
1 hour, 21 minutes, 42 seconds
your district in front of the people that that you're wanting to vote for you. And you should be able to show up in person and stand in front of a1:21:51
1 hour, 21 minutes, 51 seconds
microphone and a camera against your opponent and address address why you will be a better representative than the current representative Thomas Massie.1:22:01
1 hour, 22 minutes, 1 second
And Ed Galin has not shown up to a single one. As far as my knowledge, he hasn't shown up at all. And by the way,1:22:09
1 hour, 22 minutes, 9 seconds
he's completely funded by three Zionist billionaires, 100% funded, that have given tens of millions of dollars, and they don't even live in his district.1:22:20
1 hour, 22 minutes, 20 seconds
They couldn't relate to Kentucky that they only know about Tel Aviv. It's the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen1:22:26
1 hour, 22 minutes, 26 seconds
happen. And Chris Losa is the guy that's running the race because he, of course,1:22:32
1 hour, 22 minutes, 32 seconds
Chris Lassevita, he's he who does he work for? Lindsey Graham, John Cornin,1:22:38
1 hour, 22 minutes, 38 seconds
some of the worst Republicans, and he's doing everything he can, aligning himself with these three Zionist billionaires to defeat Thomas Massie.1:22:49
1 hour, 22 minutes, 49 seconds
What? Why? And and who is Chris, for people who don't follow this stuff, who is Chris Losa? Chris Oivvita is a big1:22:56
1 hour, 22 minutes, 56 seconds
fat political consultant that is richer beyond his wildest dreams and beyond your wildest dreams because he sucks in1:23:04
1 hour, 23 minutes, 4 seconds
donor money so that he can put TV ads and and and mail so he can run campaigns1:23:11
1 hour, 23 minutes, 11 seconds
basically that elect the very people that you hate. You absolutely hate the candidates that he supports like Lindsey1:23:20
1 hour, 23 minutes, 20 seconds
Graham, like Ed Grin. He supports the candidates that that are completely funded and controlled by the very1:23:29
1 hour, 23 minutes, 29 seconds
political Washington political establishment that we're talking about that that owns Mike Lawler that owns Don1:23:36
1 hour, 23 minutes, 36 seconds
Bacon that owns Maria Salazar, Carlos Gimenez, Mario Diaz Bolard, the list goes on and on. I guess apparently just1:23:45
1 hour, 23 minutes, 45 seconds
bought Brian Jack with his vote to take away control of your car that you pay for. But but this is that is exactly who1:23:53
1 hour, 23 minutes, 53 seconds
Chris Lassita works for. Chris Lassivvita also works for President Trump. Chris Lassivita used to hate President Trump, but he wiggled himself1:24:00
1 hour, 24 minutes
in there. Um just slimed his way in and now he's he's frequently at the White1:24:08
1 hour, 24 minutes, 8 seconds
House practically every single day. He ran the president's 2024 campaign alongside Susie Wilds and um he is the guy that's trying to beat Thomas Massie.1:24:19
1 hour, 24 minutes, 19 seconds
Yep.1:24:21
1 hour, 24 minutes, 21 seconds
So, it does seem like just from an outside perspective, it seems like the more you exhibit loyalty to Israel, the closer you are to the White House political operation.1:24:31
1 hour, 24 minutes, 31 seconds
100%. You you well Tucker, I'm no longer in Congress because I did not I did not1:24:40
1 hour, 24 minutes, 40 seconds
bow in obedience to Apac and to the Zionist uh that control literally fully1:24:47
1 hour, 24 minutes, 47 seconds
control Washington DC. Um I I wouldn't take any of their money. I I voted to defund American tax dollars going to1:24:56
1 hour, 24 minutes, 56 seconds
Israel. Um, I voted to release the Epstein files, which is linked to Israel. And so, yeah, you you you have a1:25:05
1 hour, 25 minutes, 5 seconds
hard time existing or fighting for your political career if if you aren't part of that. As a gun owner, you know the1:25:12
1 hour, 25 minutes, 12 seconds
dilemma. You want to be prepared for breakins or any moment where you might need a firearm, but you also need to keep those firearms secure, out of the1:25:20
1 hour, 25 minutes, 20 seconds
hands of kids, for example. So for years that meant choosing between a gun safe that takes a long time to open, pretty impossible in an emergency, or leaving1:25:28
1 hour, 25 minutes, 28 seconds
something accessible but unsafe. And neither option is a good option. And that's why we are thrilled to partner with Stopbox. We're not exaggerating1:25:36

you need it, and everyone else can't get it. And here's something else. It is TSA compliant. You can check your firearm1:26:06

1 hour, 26 minutes, 44 seconds
understanding of Trump and I talked to him a lot as you have uh was that you know Trump supported Israel in the same sense that I always supported Israel,1:26:52
1 hour, 26 minutes, 52 seconds
you always support Israel. Like hey Israel it's great you know not against Israel.1:26:56
1 hour, 26 minutes, 56 seconds
It's not the thing I think about all day not Josh Hammer or anything but like I'm not against it. And Trump seemed to have a kind of I don't know sensible view of Israel.1:27:08
1 hour, 27 minutes, 8 seconds
And then at a certain point in the last year and a half, everything became about Israel. And that was the measure that1:27:17
1 hour, 27 minutes, 17 seconds
Trump and his political team used to decide who was an ally and who's an enemy. When did that change? Am I imagining this? I mean, that's my perception of it. Anyway, tell me yours.1:27:27
1 hour, 27 minutes, 27 seconds
I I agree with you. It did change. And just to be clear, we're talking about the secular government of Israel and the government of Israel. Exactly. and the1:27:35
1 hour, 27 minutes, 35 seconds
donors that that fully fund it. Um, not only fund uh anything that supports the secular government of Israel, but they also do1:27:44
1 hour, 27 minutes, 44 seconds
anything that that funds the IDF and the wars that they fight. Um, so to be clear, that's what we're talking about.1:27:51
1 hour, 27 minutes, 51 seconds
Of course, we're not talking about Jewish people. This isn't about anti-semitism, but it he did change over time. And I'll be I'll be really clear.1:28:02
1 hour, 28 minutes, 2 seconds
This is something that is my own conclusion. Uh to become president of the United States, there's deals that1:28:10
1 hour, 28 minutes, 10 seconds
have to be made otherwise you aren't allowed to have that power. And you can go president by president throughout1:28:18
1 hour, 28 minutes, 18 seconds
time and especially throughout our lifetimes and you can look at every single president and look at their career and the decisions that they made1:28:26
1 hour, 28 minutes, 26 seconds
and you can very quickly see that they made their deal to support Israel at all times. Why does the United States of1:28:34
1 hour, 28 minutes, 34 seconds
America do that for for one foreign country? It makes absolutely no sense.1:28:41
1 hour, 28 minutes, 41 seconds
We don't do that for any other foreign country. No other government on earth does every single United States1:28:48
1 hour, 28 minutes, 48 seconds
president. The vast majority of members of Congress completely pledge their allegiance. Governors too, we have to1:28:56
1 hour, 28 minutes, 56 seconds
include governors and state- elected officials. Um they they pledge their complete allegiance to the government of1:29:04
1 hour, 29 minutes, 4 seconds
Israel and their purpose and their protection and whatever endeavor they decide to pursue, whether it's right or1:29:12
1 hour, 29 minutes, 12 seconds
wrong, whether it's it helps America or even if it hurts America, they still pledge their full allegiance. They make1:29:20
1 hour, 29 minutes, 20 seconds
that deal. and Tucker. Um, I don't care what anybody thinks about me, but I believe that Trump had to make a deal like this in order to become president.1:29:33
1 hour, 29 minutes, 33 seconds
And that's why people see the drastic change in him. Um, now he was beholdened1:29:39
1 hour, 29 minutes, 39 seconds
to a lot of the estab establishment Washington industries and their donors in his first administration. that1:29:47
1 hour, 29 minutes, 47 seconds
happened and we can look at COVID and hit the response. Uh shutting down the entire country uh to slow the spread of1:29:54
1 hour, 29 minutes, 54 seconds
a virus was absolutely serving that that gigantic machine. It wasn't for the American people. That did1:30:03
1 hour, 30 minutes, 3 seconds
not help Americans. It did not help American small business owners. It hurt us. It hurt children's education. I mean, that's a whole another subject.1:30:11
1 hour, 30 minutes, 11 seconds
But he did that. Trump did that in his first term. However, this term we've watched him drastically change literally1:30:19
1 hour, 30 minutes, 19 seconds
from the first quarter of his presidency to being completely um basically held captive in servitude to whatever BB1:30:29
1 hour, 30 minutes, 29 seconds
Netanyahu demands of him. That's fighting wars. That's that's creating policy um that benefits Israel. And that1:30:38
1 hour, 30 minutes, 38 seconds
is even to the point of defeating a House Republican that votes with him over 90% of the time, defeating Thomas1:30:46
1 hour, 30 minutes, 46 seconds
Massie because those giant billionaire Israel donors say it has to happen. And1:30:53
1 hour, 30 minutes, 53 seconds
um it's I don't know how that I don't know how and why and I don't know how you change that and I don't know how1:31:01
1 hour, 31 minutes, 1 second
this came to be but I think it happened over decades and it's a it's a much bigger problem than people realize. It's1:31:08
1 hour, 31 minutes, 8 seconds
not it's not anti-semitic for us to talk about it. It doesn't mean that we're against Jewish people. Not at all. We love all people. We're Christians. We're1:31:16
1 hour, 31 minutes, 16 seconds
commanded to love all people. Um, but our government, the United States of America, should be serving the American1:31:25
1 hour, 31 minutes, 25 seconds
people and the American people's interest first and foremost at all times, 100%. and should not be easily1:31:34
1 hour, 31 minutes, 34 seconds
dragged off into bombing Iran or paying to fund uh all types of military1:31:42
1 hour, 31 minutes, 42 seconds
equipment and weapons to to perform genocide on Gaza or or Christians in1:31:50
1 hour, 31 minutes, 50 seconds
Lebanon and villages in Lebanon and taking their land. The hypocrisy of it is is beyond it's unspeakable. The king1:31:59
1 hour, 31 minutes, 59 seconds
of England, King Charles, spoke to Congress this week and literally demanded that the United States of1:32:06
1 hour, 32 minutes, 6 seconds
America go to war with Russia because Russia invaded Ukraine, which is absurd.1:32:12
1 hour, 32 minutes, 12 seconds
Yet, no one is demanding the United States stop supporting Israel as they have literally and are at this moment1:32:20
1 hour, 32 minutes, 20 seconds
doing the same thing to Lebanon. And it's not anti-Semitic to say why is that happening? This shouldn't be happening.1:32:28
1 hour, 32 minutes, 28 seconds
why the hypocrisy. Uh the masses about him members of Congress stood up and applauded King Charles when he demanded1:32:36
1 hour, 32 minutes, 36 seconds
that. And I myself watched that and I said, "Well, I know I know for a fact because I've been there. I know the1:32:44
1 hour, 32 minutes, 44 seconds
things said in speeches to Congress publicly because that's what that foreign leader is is asking of Congress.1:32:51
1 hour, 32 minutes, 51 seconds
Those same conversations happen privately at the White House. And it would be really naive for anyone to1:32:58
1 hour, 32 minutes, 58 seconds
think that King Charles is not talking to Donald Trump about going to war with Russia because of the Ukraine Russia war. And um that that that concerns me.1:33:10
1 hour, 33 minutes, 10 seconds
It's just interesting that you so you think of uh donors to the Republican party and Democratic party, I should1:33:18
1 hour, 33 minutes, 18 seconds
say, who are pretty single-mindedly focused on the fortunes of Israel and they they want foreign aid. They want a1:33:25
1 hour, 33 minutes, 25 seconds
defense guarantee. They want the United States military to protect Israel as it continues its expansion in the Middle East, etc., etc. And that's all true.1:33:34
1 hour, 33 minutes, 34 seconds
But that same set of donors, and this is the part that does confuse me, has also the group that forced the Biden administration to fund the Ukraine war,1:33:45
1 hour, 33 minutes, 45 seconds
that has prevented this administration from ending or really even working to end the Ukraine war. This is also the very same group1:33:51
1 hour, 33 minutes, 51 seconds
that has pushed open borders and has convinced the president to change his long-standing and often stated view on1:33:58
1 hour, 33 minutes, 58 seconds
immigration. So, he got elected in 2016 promising to build a wall. Never really well didn't build a wall. Didn't really try very hard to build a wall and now is1:34:07
1 hour, 34 minutes, 7 seconds
saying, "Well, actually, I'm not going to deport a lot of people. We're going to make them citizens." Yep.1:34:12
1 hour, 34 minutes, 12 seconds
We're going to we're going to start the process of, you know, immigration reform, how whatever phrase they're using. But Trump is now pro-immigration,1:34:22
1 hour, 34 minutes, 22 seconds
which is an amazing change once again at the behest of these donors. These are the same people who have pushed open1:34:30
1 hour, 34 minutes, 30 seconds
borders in Europe, who've abetted the refugee migration from Syria and Africa into Western Europe and then complained1:34:37
1 hour, 34 minutes, 37 seconds
about it. Why is that? Like why would people who support Israel also be for1:34:45
1 hour, 34 minutes, 45 seconds
changing the demographic mix of the United States? That doesn't make sense.1:34:49
1 hour, 34 minutes, 49 seconds
Well, true. It is true. And it's it's happened for it's happened for many years now. Our demographics have been1:34:56
1 hour, 34 minutes, 56 seconds
drastically changing. That happens through our border through open border policies of administrations and administrations that refuse to enforce1:35:04
1 hour, 35 minutes, 4 seconds
our laws. We have laws. People can be deported. It's just the fact that they haven't fully supported them and enforce1:35:11
1 hour, 35 minutes, 11 seconds
those laws. So there's absolutely no reason, for example, for for approximately 10 or 11 Republicans to1:35:20
1 hour, 35 minutes, 20 seconds
vote with the Democrats to pass a bill um this happened just this month to extend the temporary protection status1:35:28
1 hour, 35 minutes, 28 seconds
of 350,000 Haitians. Now, you have to ask yourself, like I think people that watch Fox News all day will go, "Oh,1:35:37
1 hour, 35 minutes, 37 seconds
those typical bad old rhinos." and they'll be mad and go, "Why did they do that?" But what really happens behind1:35:45
1 hour, 35 minutes, 45 seconds
the scenes is these powerful lobbies and these powerful groups who are basically businesses that are that run off of1:35:54
1 hour, 35 minutes, 54 seconds
government contracts. They run off of grants they receive. They run off the you can call open borders an industry.1:36:01
1 hour, 36 minutes, 1 second
It is a huge powerful industry. It's an industry of all types of charities and nonprofits and nos that are everything1:36:10
1 hour, 36 minutes, 10 seconds
from people that give uh someone that comes across the border a backpack or say like Haitian uh Haitians that have1:36:17
1 hour, 36 minutes, 17 seconds
to be protected here in America and are are allowed to live here and work for free um even though they're not citizens1:36:26
1 hour, 36 minutes, 26 seconds
but they're protected. Um this is an entire industry. It's it it's it's people that serve all of that in every1:36:33
1 hour, 36 minutes, 33 seconds
capacity. Even lawyers, American lawyers that help these people through the so-called immigration process or really to stay in America against our laws.1:36:43
1 hour, 36 minutes, 43 seconds
Now, why is that happening? I it's I think it's a very I think the answer is really dark. It it weakens our country.1:36:52
1 hour, 36 minutes, 52 seconds
Anytime you change the demographics of a country, you drastically change the people there, which radically changes1:36:59
1 hour, 36 minutes, 59 seconds
the views of the people because you have such a vast variety of all types of people with all types of belief systems1:37:07
1 hour, 37 minutes, 7 seconds
and all types of opinions. Now, when you fill a country with millions of people that are dependent on the government1:37:14
1 hour, 37 minutes, 14 seconds
because the government let them in, they weren't born here. they they came across the border and then they may have been protected like dreamers like Obama1:37:23
1 hour, 37 minutes, 23 seconds
protected the dreamers or you say the Haitians 350,000 of them that um I1:37:30
1 hour, 37 minutes, 30 seconds
couldn't believe it Rich McCormack another Republican member of Congress who is from my state who I personally know voted to protect 350,000 Haitians.1:37:41
1 hour, 37 minutes, 41 seconds
It doesn't make sense. Like why would he do that? But they do it to weaken our country because when you weaken the1:37:49
1 hour, 37 minutes, 49 seconds
country, you weaken the people and you weaken the the voting basically the votes because eventually these people1:37:57
1 hour, 37 minutes, 57 seconds
get status and eventually they become voters as well. Then you train change the trajectory of the country and you also change the focus of the government.1:38:09
1 hour, 38 minutes, 9 seconds
So let's take there's there's members of Congress that have dual citizenships.1:38:15
1 hour, 38 minutes, 15 seconds
They they are they are there for the interest of the country they came from.1:38:20
1 hour, 38 minutes, 20 seconds
They are there serving a a uh foreign uh group of people that is in their1:38:27
1 hour, 38 minutes, 27 seconds
district and they are beholden to them and that means that they are not voting for who would be original American citizens which I think is a problem. Um,1:38:39
1 hour, 38 minutes, 39 seconds
and I don't it's it's very hard to change, but it's I I don't know how we got here, Tucker.1:38:46
1 hour, 38 minutes, 46 seconds
It's just it's it's obviously very deep whatever's happening because it doesn't on the surface make any sense. So, here1:38:53
1 hour, 38 minutes, 53 seconds
you have people like Michael Lawler or Don Bacon and there are a bunch of them as you know.1:39:00
1 hour, 39 minutes
Yeah. who are wholly focused on preserving the state of Israel as an ethnost state, as a state in which1:39:08
1 hour, 39 minutes, 8 seconds
citizenship is really determined by your ethnicity. Okay, I'm kind of agnostic on that. It's not my country.1:39:14
1 hour, 39 minutes, 14 seconds
But they're very focused on that. Israel has a right to exist as an ethnostate.1:39:19
1 hour, 39 minutes, 19 seconds
And at the same time, their greatest fear in the United States is that the US will be an ethnostate. And so we need to prevent that by changing the demographic mix.1:39:29
1 hour, 39 minutes, 29 seconds
Right? That doesn't make any sense at all. Like that just doesn't tell me what that adds up to. But it's very obvious1:39:37
1 hour, 39 minutes, 37 seconds
as you watch that those are their twin priorities. Preserve Israel as an ethnostate. Prevent the United States from being an ethnostate. What are we watching?1:39:46
1 hour, 39 minutes, 46 seconds
I don't know. I was I just looked at the list of the Republicans that voted uh to protect Haitians. And so it's pretty1:39:53
1 hour, 39 minutes, 53 seconds
interesting to me. Fitzpatrick Lawler Bacon, Maria Salazar, Carlos Gimenez,1:39:59
1 hour, 39 minutes, 59 seconds
Nicole Malotakus, Rich McCormack, Mike Turner, who's not running for Congress again, Mike Kerry, and Mario Diaz Bolard. There's several names on there.1:40:09
1 hour, 40 minutes, 9 seconds
Salazar Gimenez, Diaz Bolard, that fight the hardest uh fight the hardest for anyone that's come across the border. I1:40:18
1 hour, 40 minutes, 18 seconds
mean, they literally want to just make them citizens. give just give it to them for free. Maria Salazar for sure1:40:26
1 hour, 40 minutes, 26 seconds
has a bill that she's trying to do that but ironically that same group the same group that I just read is also1:40:34
1 hour, 40 minutes, 34 seconds
completely completely and you can add we need to add more in there. I think the bigger list is the 57 Republicans that voted no1:40:43
1 hour, 40 minutes, 43 seconds
on stopping the government from controlling your car. I think that's the more expanded list. You could expand it even bigger than that. Those are the1:40:52
1 hour, 40 minutes, 52 seconds
Republicans that will vote for Israel to have anything and everything. Like they they fully agree with Lindsey Graham when he's melting down on television1:41:01
1 hour, 41 minutes, 1 second
about we have to we have to give money to Israel. We I mean when when Mark when uh Levvin is demanding that we use1:41:10
1 hour, 41 minutes, 10 seconds
nuclear bombs on Iran, many of these same House Republicans would support that. I don't know what that is, Tucker,1:41:17
1 hour, 41 minutes, 17 seconds
and I don't know why it's that way. Um,1:41:20
1 hour, 41 minutes, 20 seconds
I think there's been a brainwashing that's happened in this country and it's happened a lot through evangelical churches. It's happened a lot through1:41:28
1 hour, 41 minutes, 28 seconds
just a lot of churches honestly. And the message has been told to the American people over and over and over and over1:41:35
1 hour, 41 minutes, 35 seconds
again that we have to support Israel at all costs at all times no matter what.1:41:40
1 hour, 41 minutes, 40 seconds
And um there's, you know, tragic events that have helped shaped many Americans1:41:47
1 hour, 41 minutes, 47 seconds
views to support that, such as 911 and such as other horrific uh terrorist um1:41:55
1 hour, 41 minutes, 55 seconds
incidences here in America, but also what we've been fed on the television of suicide bombers in Israel and so forth.1:42:02
1 hour, 42 minutes, 2 seconds
They don't ever show the other side of what happened, but they show that non-stop. Now, so that has hardened many1:42:10
1 hour, 42 minutes, 10 seconds
Americans to believe that America has to support Israel at all costs, no matter what. Um, it they use the verse in Genesis, uh, use that against Americans,1:42:21
1 hour, 42 minutes, 21 seconds
Christian or not, to believe that if you don't bless Israel, then you're going to be cursed by God. And that's absolutely not true. And you've talked about that a lot, thankfully, as well as others did.1:42:32
1 hour, 42 minutes, 32 seconds
But it's it has been a basically propaganda and messaging that has been1:42:39
1 hour, 42 minutes, 39 seconds
told to Americans for so long. And the baby boomers who we love, that's our parents generation. Um, and not all of1:42:47
1 hour, 42 minutes, 47 seconds
them. There's some really good baby boomers, but the baby boomer generation as a whole is are the ones that have embraced it the most on Republican and1:42:54
1 hour, 42 minutes, 54 seconds
the Democrat side. Both sides fully supporting Israel. Give them all your money. you know, the best way we can1:43:02
1 hour, 43 minutes, 2 seconds
help our grandchildren's future. They may be broke and can't have a job and can't afford health insurance and can't afford to do anything in life. And AI will totally replace their future jobs,1:43:15
1 hour, 43 minutes, 15 seconds
but you know what? We got to stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon. And it's1:43:20
1 hour, 43 minutes, 20 seconds
been that propaganda that has not only basically1:43:28
1 hour, 43 minutes, 28 seconds
wrangled in these members of Congress and other elected officials that are fully supported by the those lo that1:43:34
1 hour, 43 minutes, 34 seconds
lobby and the the massive donor list that comes with it. It's huge. You have no idea how big it is. Jews and Christians. It's it's the Apac umbrella,1:43:46
1 hour, 43 minutes, 46 seconds
but it's much bigger than Apac itself.1:43:49
1 hour, 43 minutes, 49 seconds
lots of donors that hey will will write you a check and say you just make sure that you take care of Israel and so they are wrapped in and beholdened by that1:43:57
1 hour, 43 minutes, 57 seconds
money and it's supported by Americans who have been brainwashed to believe that that's exactly what America has to do but nobody ever talks about Tucker1:44:05
1 hour, 44 minutes, 5 seconds
nobody ever talks about the fact that Israel has nuclear weapons has hundreds of nuclear weapons like1:44:14
1 hour, 44 minutes, 14 seconds
who's really going to mess with Israel at the end of the day they have nuclear weapons. It's just like, do you ever see anybody freaking out about Kim Jong-un anymore and North Korea? No.1:44:24
1 hour, 44 minutes, 24 seconds
No.1:44:24
1 hour, 44 minutes, 24 seconds
Because he has nuclear weapons. So, what a lie it is that we really have to support Israel.1:44:31
1 hour, 44 minutes, 31 seconds
I have for years noticed that there are people who truly love Israel. It's never bothered me. People love, I don't know, model trains or kite surfing or what.1:44:40
1 hour, 44 minutes, 40 seconds
People love a lot of things. I don't feel threatened by it. You're allowed to love whatever you want as far as I'm concerned. In the case of loving Israel,1:44:48
1 hour, 44 minutes, 48 seconds
however, for American leaders, some Jewish, mostly not Jewish, it's the same principle. It seems like that love for1:44:56
1 hour, 44 minutes, 56 seconds
Israel is accompanied by contempt for the United States, maybe even hatred for the United States. What is it? Maybe it's impossible to serve two masters.1:45:05
1 hour, 45 minutes, 5 seconds
Maybe you always wind up hating one of them. I maybe that that's a biblical principle. Maybe that's true. I really don't know the answer. But among that1:45:13
1 hour, 45 minutes, 13 seconds
group that we're talking about and that you served with, did you ever have conversations offline where they said,1:45:19
1 hour, 45 minutes, 19 seconds
you know, we've got to do something about, I don't know, health insurance prices or opioid ODS or, I don't know,1:45:27
1 hour, 45 minutes, 27 seconds
the elimination of our kids employment future by AI or any of the truly pressing, in fact, ominous problems this1:45:36
1 hour, 45 minutes, 36 seconds
country faces. Did they ever talk about that stuff in private?1:45:42
1 hour, 45 minutes, 42 seconds
Most I just laugh. Um most most Republicans if they had a bill they were trying to get me to co-sponsor. It's it's kind of it's it's such a circus on1:45:51
1 hour, 45 minutes, 51 seconds
the House floor. So when we're at votes and we're spending a lot of time on the House floor and and you're in there and it's everybody in there together,1:45:59
1 hour, 45 minutes, 59 seconds
Republicans and Democrats, and everyone's sitting in the brown leather chairs that I don't know how old those chairs are, and we're voting with our little voting cards and the little1:46:07
1 hour, 46 minutes, 7 seconds
machine with the green yes and the red no and the yellow present. Um you're sitting there and there's a lot of co-mingling going on. You know, a lot of1:46:15
1 hour, 46 minutes, 15 seconds
that's where if you're not in a meeting once a week, that's kind of where you see everybody. So, um, different Republicans and members will go around1:46:24
1 hour, 46 minutes, 24 seconds
with a card and they're asking for people to co-sponsor their bill that may be supporting, um, it's usually1:46:33
1 hour, 46 minutes, 33 seconds
something that helps the the medical industry or the or pharmaceutical industry or they're or it's maybe something very district specific. Um,1:46:44
1 hour, 46 minutes, 44 seconds
sometimes that will be something they're working on. But did I ever see anybody going around like really fighting hard to focus on direct American issues? No.1:46:56
1 hour, 46 minutes, 56 seconds
A lot of times not. And a lot of times it was, hey, we're going to have a resolution this week denouncing anti-semitism1:47:04
1 hour, 47 minutes, 4 seconds
um because there were protests on college campuses because college kids were saying there was genocide in Gaza.1:47:11
1 hour, 47 minutes, 11 seconds
um you know, they would be asking for support to get some some bill passed through that would provide funding for1:47:18
1 hour, 47 minutes, 18 seconds
some big company that is in their district or has been lobbying lobbying Washington because whatever whatever1:47:26
1 hour, 47 minutes, 26 seconds
provision is in the next um defense budget will really help them. Ridiculous things like that. No, Tucker, it wasn't something I I came across this one too.1:47:36
1 hour, 47 minutes, 36 seconds
I wanted to tell you um here here's a here's how America last it has been it1:47:43
1 hour, 47 minutes, 43 seconds
it really is um so they renamed remember Trump came in and they renamed the department of defense to the department1:47:51
1 hour, 47 minutes, 51 seconds
of war that has cost uh the Pentagon has estimated that it's cost approximately $52 million just to rename the1:48:00
1 hour, 48 minutes
department of defense to the department of war. That's the kind of stuff that a lot of Republicans will come around and say, "Hey, we got to we got to get1:48:08
1 hour, 48 minutes, 8 seconds
behind the team and get this done." But do they ever come in? And I I had a hard time. I had a bill and it passed,1:48:17
1 hour, 48 minutes, 17 seconds
Protect Children's Innocence Act. It was it was the one bill that I pushed so hard with everyone. and Protect1:48:24
1 hour, 48 minutes, 24 seconds
Children's Innocence Act makes it a felony to perform uh transgender surgeries and hormone1:48:33
1 hour, 48 minutes, 33 seconds
blockers and all kinds of drugs on children. It's not adults. It's not some sick man that wants to get a boob job.1:48:40
1 hour, 48 minutes, 40 seconds
We're talking about kids. And I constantly would go around and ask for their support. Well, I have to tell this1:48:46
1 hour, 48 minutes, 46 seconds
story because it just has to be told. My last vote in Congress, literally my last vote on the House floor, December 17th,1:48:54
1 hour, 48 minutes, 54 seconds
was my own bill. It finally I had to fight with everybody to get that bill to the floor. I mean, I threatened I1:49:00
1 hour, 49 minutes
withheld votes on funding. I fought them all and it finally got there. And to my1:49:08
1 hour, 49 minutes, 8 seconds
complete shock, four Republicans voted no. Four. And that was Brian Fitzpatrick, Mike Lawler, Mike Kennedy,1:49:20
1 hour, 49 minutes, 20 seconds
and Gabe Evans. So Mike Lawler voted no to my bill because he wants kids to he wants your kids to be trans. Basically,1:49:29
1 hour, 49 minutes, 29 seconds
it's totally fine with him if your child goes to a school where a teacher indoctrinates them. It's totally fine with him if they get indoctrinated on1:49:37
1 hour, 49 minutes, 37 seconds
the internet and they get brainwashed and confused and maybe live in California or some other blue state where they can go to a doctor and and1:49:46
1 hour, 49 minutes, 46 seconds
basically a teenage girl could end up getting a masectomy. Michael Lawler is totally fine with that. He voted no. My bill simply made it a felony to do that1:49:54
1 hour, 49 minutes, 54 seconds
to children. He voted no to that and so did three other Republicans. The craziest thing happened, Tucker, this is this was the miracle I witnessed because1:50:02
1 hour, 50 minutes, 2 seconds
God God performs miracles. And this is why I believe even though nothing makes sense1:50:10
1 hour, 50 minutes, 10 seconds
right now, I believe in my heart, I have full faith in God that God can change it if we are willing to fight for it. My1:50:18
1 hour, 50 minutes, 18 seconds
bill passed. My bill passed that in the House because God moved three Democrats1:50:26
1 hour, 50 minutes, 26 seconds
to vote for it. Four Republicans voted against it even though the entire Republican party campaigned on stopping1:50:34
1 hour, 50 minutes, 34 seconds
the trans agenda on children and it was supported by 70% of Americans. When God knew those four Republicans were voting1:50:42
1 hour, 50 minutes, 42 seconds
no, God moved three Democrats to vote for it and my bill passed the House1:50:49
1 hour, 50 minutes, 49 seconds
floor. Protect Children's Innocence Act was also sponsored by our great vice president JB Vance when he was a senator.1:50:58
1 hour, 50 minutes, 58 seconds
He was the original sponsor of that bill in the Senate. He is now the leader of the Senate. So I can tell you that right1:51:07
1 hour, 51 minutes, 7 seconds
now Republicans have the full capability of passing that bill in the Senate and President Trump would sign it into law1:51:16
1 hour, 51 minutes, 16 seconds
because it's a direct reflection on his own executive order. And soon the leader1:51:23
1 hour, 51 minutes, 23 seconds
in the Senate has my bill, Protect Children's Innocence Act, that makes it a felony to trans a kid is sitting on a1:51:30
1 hour, 51 minutes, 30 seconds
shelf in the Senate. And our vice president hasn't gone in there and fought with him to, hey, let's get this to the floor for a vote. Let's whip our1:51:39
1 hour, 51 minutes, 39 seconds
senators because this was a campaign promise in 2024. You see, when people refuse, when good men refuse to do, when1:51:48
1 hour, 51 minutes, 48 seconds
they do nothing, that's when evil prevails. And that is literally where we are. We are at a point in history, well,1:51:55
1 hour, 51 minutes, 55 seconds
where all types of evil is prevailing.1:51:58
1 hour, 51 minutes, 58 seconds
Nothing makes sense. Those that are the worst people are the most powerful people right now. Those that are1:52:05
1 hour, 52 minutes, 5 seconds
committing crimes and corruption are making all the money right now. And it's because we have a completely speckless1:52:13
1 hour, 52 minutes, 13 seconds
Republican party that is 100% owned and sold out to a foreign country and a foreign country's lobby and a foreign1:52:22
1 hour, 52 minutes, 22 seconds
country's donors. And that is why everything insane is happening. That's why nothing makes sense.1:52:31
1 hour, 52 minutes, 31 seconds
It would be interesting to know why it's so important to Paul Singer that we continue to neuter children. Um I I1:52:38
1 hour, 52 minutes, 38 seconds
don't know the answer. It clearly is so important um that he and donors like him are preventing uh this from being banned. I mean, it's1:52:46
1 hour, 52 minutes, 46 seconds
it's insane. Um okay, so you painted a pretty grim, very grim picture of the1:52:54
1 hour, 52 minutes, 54 seconds
state of Washington right now and how far the concerns of lawmakers and the executive are from voters.1:53:02
1 hour, 53 minutes, 2 seconds
I don't it doesn't feel like this can continue indefinitely because it's just it's too screwed up and it it feels like it's radicalizing people in a way that's scary.1:53:13
1 hour, 53 minutes, 13 seconds
So what is the solution? Where does it go from the midterms this fall to 2028?1:53:21
1 hour, 53 minutes, 21 seconds
What what happens that makes this system more representative slightly more representative of the public, do you think? Well, I think that's a great1:53:30
1 hour, 53 minutes, 30 seconds
question and we can break it down. I was told uh reliably told by one of the um most well-known pollsters in Washington1:53:38
1 hour, 53 minutes, 38 seconds
DC that Republicans are expecting to lose anywhere between 20 and 40 seats in the House. And I Yeah. And I say1:53:46
1 hour, 53 minutes, 46 seconds
rightfully so. They deserve it. They 100% deserve it.1:53:50
1 hour, 53 minutes, 50 seconds
They definitely deserve it. Does the public deserve it? I don't know. But they party definitely deserves it. Yeah,1:53:56
1 hour, 53 minutes, 56 seconds
for sure. Let's look at the current situation. The Democrats completely completely destroyed so many things and1:54:03
1 hour, 54 minutes, 3 seconds
America basically gave them a very strong message in November of 2024 that they refused to support wokeness, DEI,1:54:13
1 hour, 54 minutes, 13 seconds
the Green New Deal, the trans agenda. They they found all of that disgusting.1:54:18
1 hour, 54 minutes, 18 seconds
Uh the American people were sick of censorship. So many people had been kicked off social media because the Biden administration had pushed that. Um1:54:26
1 hour, 54 minutes, 26 seconds
the American people, one of their loudest message was no more foreign wars. It was so simple. Um so let's look at what the current system we have. The1:54:35
1 hour, 54 minutes, 35 seconds
the failures of the Democrat and Republican party is why people like me supported Donald Trump. Total and utter1:54:43
1 hour, 54 minutes, 43 seconds
failures of both parties. They're both disgusting and repulsive. They they function as one weird uni party in so1:54:51
1 hour, 54 minutes, 51 seconds
many ways, but at the same time, the things both parties represent uh through their actions, I'm not saying what they say on the campaign trail, through their1:55:00
1 hour, 55 minutes
actual actions, their vote, the legislation, and the things they fund are disgusting and they don't represent1:55:07
1 hour, 55 minutes, 7 seconds
America at all, either party. It shocked me that Democrats, after losing so badly in 2024, that their entire party didn't1:55:16
1 hour, 55 minutes, 16 seconds
go into a room and really have a serious talk amongst themselves and go, "We've got to change our ways. We've got to change some of our serious uh policies.1:55:26
1 hour, 55 minutes, 26 seconds
We need to, you know, things they need to back off of. They should have learned their lesson on their failures, but they didn't. They changed nothing. And so now1:55:35
1 hour, 55 minutes, 35 seconds
they're expecting to win the midterms basically on Trump derangement syndrome,1:55:40
1 hour, 55 minutes, 40 seconds
which is the same thing that they have been campaigning on for years. They're also planning to win the midterms based on the pathetic utter failures of the1:55:48
1 hour, 55 minutes, 48 seconds
Republican party. But because the Republican party is just as gross and disgusting as the Democrat party, look at the Republican party. They learned1:55:57
1 hour, 55 minutes, 57 seconds
nothing. Tucker, we gave them the strongest message that can be sent. It was a mandate in 2024. The mandate was1:56:06
1 hour, 56 minutes, 6 seconds
no more foreign wars and put Americans first. And the Republican party did nothing. What they did is they came in1:56:14
1 hour, 56 minutes, 14 seconds
and they use the same system that swings like a pendulum back and forth between whoever's in charge and they brought that big powerful lobby and their donors1:56:22
1 hour, 56 minutes, 22 seconds
and their industries. And they basically swallowed Donald Trump whole and made sure that he was completely owned and1:56:30
1 hour, 56 minutes, 30 seconds
controlled by the government of Israel and whatever war they want to fight. So where does that leave us going forward?1:56:37
1 hour, 56 minutes, 37 seconds
My hopes is when I resigned from Congress, I wanted the American people to understand something that me leaving1:56:45
1 hour, 56 minutes, 45 seconds
doesn't leave them in any worse position. They are already in the worst position. Me leaving doesn't mean that1:56:53
1 hour, 56 minutes, 53 seconds
no one's there fighting for them. It means that even when I was there fighting as hard as I possibly could, I1:57:00
1 hour, 57 minutes
could stop nothing. But it's really up to the American people to change it.1:57:04
1 hour, 57 minutes, 4 seconds
Now, here's where the American people have a job to do. It's the American people that keep reelecting the Lindsey Grahams and the Mike Lawers and all the1:57:13
1 hour, 57 minutes, 13 seconds
disgusting people that that most Republican voters say they hate, but yet somehow they keep voting for them. I think they should change that. Another1:57:22
1 hour, 57 minutes, 22 seconds
thing is, look, I don't want Democrats to win because I don't support their policies either. But why am I afraid of Republicans losing? I'm not. I resigned1:57:31
1 hour, 57 minutes, 31 seconds
from Congress because I refuse to be a part of and I refuse to support a party that lied to the American people and is1:57:40
1 hour, 57 minutes, 40 seconds
completely selling them out. And I think that's what American voters really need to take in. You know, there's a way to1:57:48
1 hour, 57 minutes, 48 seconds
take back control, and it comes from forming a powerful alliance of Americans that will only support candidates that1:57:57
1 hour, 57 minutes, 57 seconds
are small dollar campaigns. candidates that absolutely refuse to take any money from Apac, from the military-industrial1:58:06
1 hour, 58 minutes, 6 seconds
complex complex, big pharma, the big industries and the big donors, the big nasty donors and the big nasty political1:58:14
1 hour, 58 minutes, 14 seconds
consultants that continue the America last policies that we all are are living in and we hate. The American people can1:58:23
1 hour, 58 minutes, 23 seconds
elect people that will represent them when those representatives are only funded by the people that vote for them.1:58:32
1 hour, 58 minutes, 32 seconds
That's the only way to get there. It's it is the only way going forward because whoever holds the purse strings holds the power over these elected officials.1:58:44
1 hour, 58 minutes, 44 seconds
So, do you think that can be done within the current structure or do you think this calls for a third party or fourth party?1:58:52
1 hour, 58 minutes, 52 seconds
I think it has to be weighed. Um, I've been looking at the numbers.1:58:57
1 hour, 58 minutes, 57 seconds
Independents in America are bigger than the Democrat party and the Republican party. Um, independents are oftent times1:59:06
1 hour, 59 minutes, 6 seconds
over 40%. And if independents were to come together on a core group of policy issues and candidates that they could1:59:14
1 hour, 59 minutes, 14 seconds
fully support, then you could defeat Democrat and Republican candidates. It's not It would be very hard, but it is1:59:22
1 hour, 59 minutes, 22 seconds
possible. I think it's largely dependent on several things, Tucker. It's the millennials, many of the millennials,1:59:32
1 hour, 59 minutes, 32 seconds
and it's Gen Z. It's if the younger generations truly rise up and decide to get politically active, they could fully1:59:41
1 hour, 59 minutes, 41 seconds
take over and take the power away from the baby boomer generation. The baby boomer boomer generation is the generation that supports the current1:59:50
1 hour, 59 minutes, 50 seconds
political industrial complex. They support it fully, Democrat and Republican. They're the ones that vote the most. They're the ones that donate1:59:58
1 hour, 59 minutes, 58 seconds
the most. and they're the ones that remain glued to the television, to the propaganda news that they're fed every single day from the left and the right.2:00:07
2 hours, 7 seconds
However, I fully believe that it's the younger generations that can make the difference. And educating them,2:00:14
2 hours, 14 seconds
harnessing their power, and helping them understand that it's they who can take over and take control, then I think this2:00:21
2 hours, 21 seconds
country can be saved. And I'll say one more thing about the baby boomers. And I I really I really attack the baby2:00:29
2 hours, 29 seconds
boomers a lot because I am angry about many of the things their generation has supported and done. I'm fully disgusted2:00:36
2 hours, 36 seconds
at at baby boomers that hold on to power in Congress and in the Senate and many elected positions. Even our current2:00:44
2 hours, 44 seconds
president falls in that category. Um he'll probably never want to leave the White House. And I'm sure me saying that will make headlines. However, I think2:00:53
2 hours, 53 seconds
those baby boomers are the most dangerous and they're completely responsible for our nearly $40 trillion2:01:00
2 hours, 1 minute
in debt. The fact that social security be will be completely insolvent in just six to seven years and the very fact2:01:07
2 hours, 1 minute, 7 seconds
that young Americans have it much harder because our dollar is so weak.2:01:13
2 hours, 1 minute, 13 seconds
Tragically, it may require the baby boomer generation passing away before Gen Z and even millennials can fully get2:01:23
2 hours, 1 minute, 23 seconds
involved and and work hard to take it back. But I don't think it's impossible because I'll go back and just finish2:01:29
2 hours, 1 minute, 29 seconds
with this. Like I told you, I witnessed a miracle on the House floor on my very last vote when my bill, Protect2:01:38
2 hours, 1 minute, 38 seconds
Children's Innocence, passed to make it a felony to trans children. Four2:01:45
2 hours, 1 minute, 45 seconds
Republicans voted no and three Democrats voted yes. And that passed that bill.2:01:50
2 hours, 1 minute, 50 seconds
And I never thought that bill was going to pass. I And they told me, everyone told me it was impossible. Everybody,2:01:56
2 hours, 1 minute, 56 seconds
literally every single Republican told me, "MJ, this bill will never pass." But it did, Tucker. And I believe it was2:02:05
2 hours, 2 minutes, 5 seconds
truly God. I felt it. I know it in my heart. And I I watched it happen. I was there. It It literally was a miracle.2:02:13
2 hours, 2 minutes, 13 seconds
So, in saying that, I I'll say this,2:02:16
2 hours, 2 minutes, 16 seconds
Tucker. I believe good Americans through no hate in their heart whatsoever who2:02:22
2 hours, 2 minutes, 22 seconds
have their full faith in God, they can actually take back this country, but you can't be complacent. You can't sit on2:02:30
2 hours, 2 minutes, 30 seconds
the sidelines and um you truly honestly have to have courage to get involved.2:02:38
2 hours, 2 minutes, 38 seconds
Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia, thank you very much for that. Thank you.2:02:43
2 hours, 2 minutes, 43 seconds
And thank you. We'll see you next Wednesday.Sync to video time
