00:00:00.000 interview team
00:00:07.960 you
00:00:08.020 Can you do me one favor right now?
00:00:32.380 Hit the subscribe button.
00:00:38.020 So what's the most dangerous word in politics?
00:00:59.900 It's not no, no is boring, no gets you left off the committee, no gets you left off the
00:01:06.360 invitation to the cocktail party. No one's ever been ruined by no. Well, maybe they have. It's
00:01:11.620 yes. Here's the thing about yes, it's the cheapest word in the English language. It costs the person
00:01:17.260 saying it nothing. The bill always shows up somewhere else for someone else on a headstone,
00:01:23.560 on a paycheck, in a subreddit, on Axe. So tonight we're going to do the hard word.
00:01:29.780 let's roll this week a national leader of the democratic socialists of america a.i.e. the
00:01:38.680 democrat party stood in front of a delegation from the communist from the chinese communist
00:01:43.880 party and said yes yes to beijing yes to communism yes to pushing socialism to the masses which is
00:01:50.120 how you talk about people when you've never asked them for a vote ahmed hussein is his name a leader
00:01:56.880 for the DSA, the same organization that produced Mamdani, who's not even from here, he welcomed
00:02:06.100 a delegation from the Chinese Communist Party in New York.
00:02:08.960 He got up, looked at the delegation from Beijing and said, quote, we try to push socialism
00:02:15.020 to the masses.
00:02:26.880 into the masses. You know who talks like that? Drug dealers. Then he kept going. It only gets
00:02:37.340 worse. He said China is an incredibly positive vision of socialism for everyone around the world.
00:02:46.920 We try to build up a positive vision. And I think China is an incredible positive vision
00:02:52.800 of socialism for everyone around the world oh china's a positive vision china's communism
00:02:59.280 i don't think the guy knows the difference between socialism and communism it's such a positive
00:03:02.720 vision china is they had to build a firewall around their own citizens so they can't see out 0.73
00:03:07.760 let me run down the positive vision because i don't think ahmed's ever taken the tour 0.90
00:03:12.160 a million uyghurs in camps in concentration camps tiananmen square a social credit score that 0.87
00:03:18.160 that decides whether you could buy a train ticket or not. 0.92
00:03:21.060 And during COVID, China welded people's apartment doors shut from the outside.
00:03:27.660 That's the incredibly positive vision. 0.83
00:03:31.640 Ahmed looked at a country that welded people into their homes and thought,
00:03:35.760 man, we should bring this to Ohio. 0.97
00:03:39.820 Let me out! 1.00
00:03:41.600 He praised the Chinese system using the one right the Chinese system doesn't allow, 0.94
00:03:46.400 and that's the freedom of speech.
00:03:48.160 and he didn't even notice the irony. That's a man standing in a lifeboat pitching everyone on a
00:03:53.780 lifeboat with a leak in it. Now everyone in the DSA will tell you they're socialists, not communists.
00:04:01.440 I don't think they actually know the difference. Democratic socialists, very different. Terrible
00:04:07.060 health care, nice sweaters, and very expensive eyewear. Then explain to me why the delegation
00:04:13.560 was from Beijing and not Copenhagen because when the DSA needed a positive vision, they ran to the
00:04:19.080 one country on earth that runs the exact same system they swear they don't want. And they took
00:04:26.360 notes. They had memos, internal memorandums. The DSA has 200 chapters. They elected the mayor of
00:04:34.240 the biggest city in America who isn't from America and should be deported. And their national 0.96
00:04:39.840 leadership stood in front of Chinese Communist Party and described our country as a target
00:04:45.220 market. They called us the masses. I call us voters. Turns out only one of those groups
00:04:51.160 gets to be right on election day. Be smart, people, and use your vote. And last night
00:04:56.980 in Florida, prove the Democrat Socialists of America are a problem. They are a huge 0.83
00:05:03.240 problem. Listen to this. Angie Nixon, a state representative who joined the Democrat Socialists
00:05:07.480 of America about five minutes ago, won the Democrat nomination for United States Senate
00:05:15.080 in Florida, Trump's home state where he and Ron DeSantis won by miles, won by a lot over
00:05:24.040 Alexander Vindman. And okay, you might need your earplugs for this one. This is crazy train.
00:05:37.480 Constitution. It is. It's a violation of the Constitution. I'm out of order for y'all. I do it
00:05:43.660 on legal. Thank you to the state of Georgia. All right. Enough of that. I've had I've had enough
00:05:49.460 of that. We're not doing that. That's too much. But for those who don't remember Alexander Vendman,
00:05:55.280 Vendman, her opponent was the lieutenant colonel who testified in Trump's first impeachment. He's
00:06:00.360 been on cable news for seven years. He's the brother of a sitting congressman. He raised
00:06:04.600 $16 million. $16 million. Angie Nixon raised less than one. He outspent her 16 to one. He lost by
00:06:13.880 12 points. That's not a campaign. That's a man who bought a Ferrari and drove it right into the
00:06:18.920 ocean the day that he bought it. Maybe right off the coast of Florida. Here's the part that should
00:06:24.440 make your stomach turn. No matter what you think of the guy, Alexander Venman, I don't think very
00:06:30.360 much of them. He was born in Kiev during Soviet Union times. His family fled socialism when he
00:06:36.520 was three years old. He came here with nothing. And last night, Florida Democrats in a state full
00:06:41.760 of Cubans and Venezuelans who also fled socialism looked at the refugee from socialism and the
00:06:48.420 member of the Democratic Socialists of America Party, Democrat Party, and picked, they picked
00:06:54.400 the socialist. That's the Democrat Party telling you who they are. Meanwhile, Ashley Moody won the
00:07:01.560 Republican primary with 80 percent of the vote and said the quiet part out loud. She said we're
00:07:07.120 staring down crazy and the socialists. She'll win. Florida's Florida. But that's not that's not the
00:07:13.520 point. The point is that Ahmed Hussein stood in front of Beijing on Saturday and said we try to
00:07:19.660 pushed socialism to the masses and stood up China as a great example. And on Tuesday in the third
00:07:26.340 biggest state in America, a major party nominated one of his members for the Senate. He's not
00:07:31.920 pushing. The door is wide open. Florida Democrats said yes and held open the door for him. So if
00:07:39.980 you think the DSA is a few college kids or a few rich kids with a bullhorn, Florida just proved
00:07:46.660 you wrong they've got the mayor of new york and now they've got a senate nominee in florida and
00:07:52.720 they've got people that gleefully flew to china to take notes yes gleeful is a cheap word but florida
00:07:58.220 just found out what it costs and here's one more thing i want to show you about this woman this
00:08:05.300 dsa woman oh my gosh uh what she says about drag shows this is the indoctrination coming to 1.00
00:08:12.180 tell near you this is what they're doing. 1.00
00:08:15.260 There's no sexualization at a drag show. 0.95
00:08:17.960 It's just people dressing up and singing and performing.
00:08:20.640 I've taken my children to drag shows and it's fun.
00:08:25.700 It's entertainment. It's wholesome entertainment.
00:08:28.140 And there's nothing wrong. It's just...
00:08:30.720 Did she just say drag shows are wholesome entertainment 0.94
00:08:34.140 for the whole family? 1.00
00:08:36.060 I mean, this is the type of person Democrats are voting into office.
00:08:39.920 So when they show you who they are, believe them.
00:08:42.180 This is the kind of indoctrination hitting our schools, hitting our libraries, hitting our colleges and universities, hitting bookshelves, hitting mainstream media.
00:08:50.400 I mean, I remember when, hell, Hillary Clinton was MAGA.
00:08:54.540 They wanted to deport illegal aliens.
00:08:56.600 So did Obama. 0.96
00:08:57.360 So did Bill Clinton.
00:08:59.100 So did a lot of Democrats just like a decade ago.
00:09:02.000 Our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before. 0.93
00:09:11.360 Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws.
00:09:14.360 And I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous. 1.00
00:09:18.960 I think we got to have tough conditions.
00:09:21.460 Tell people to come out of the shadows.
00:09:23.040 If they've committed a crime, deport them.
00:09:25.440 No questions asked.
00:09:26.560 They're gone.
00:09:27.080 This is where we are.
00:09:28.760 But this one, this one hits a little closer to home tonight. 1.00
00:09:31.920 Darlene Graham had her first debate this week. 1.00
00:09:35.300 Her debate debut. 0.99
00:09:36.860 And somebody threw her the softest of softball questions.
00:09:41.020 Are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security issues for the United States?
00:09:45.580 Her answer, I'm not that informed on national security, she said.
00:09:49.940 And then in case we missed it, she added, national security isn't my thing.
00:09:54.000 That's what she said.
00:09:55.760 Take a look.
00:09:57.240 I'm just going to be honest here.
00:09:58.980 I'm not on national security.
00:10:01.120 I'm not that informed on national security.
00:10:04.240 But I do support the military.
00:10:08.500 My brother was in the Air Force for 33 years, so I will do everything I can to support the
00:10:15.340 military.
00:10:16.700 My dad was in the Army.
00:10:18.640 I'm not a polished politician up here.
00:10:21.320 National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise, but I do support the military.
00:10:28.700 Oh, God.
00:10:30.300 I don't even, I can't, I'm now regretting I'm not running for the U.S. Senate.
00:10:35.680 Jesus, I can't even.
00:10:37.560 And this is who everyone's and tons of people have endorsed from Congress, a woman who doesn't, who says national security isn't her thing when we're literally on the precipice of China invading Taiwan.
00:10:51.320 And we've got billions of dollars of military and military assets sitting in the Indo-Pacific region, Indo-Pacom, as they call it.
00:10:59.500 I've been to Taiwan. I've met the president of Taiwan. I've been to Japan. I've been to South Korea. I've been to the DMZ.
00:11:06.180 I've been all over that place
00:11:07.880 I sit on House Armed Services
00:11:09.040 And this is who made it into the runoff 0.99
00:11:13.100 National security is not her thing 0.94
00:11:16.600 Darlene, Darlene 0.99
00:11:18.120 You are running for the United States Senate
00:11:20.200 National security isn't just a thing
00:11:21.940 It is damn near the only thing
00:11:23.800 It's the body that funds the military
00:11:26.320 Confirms the generals
00:11:27.300 Votes on war
00:11:28.220 Saying national security isn't your thing
00:11:30.440 Is like applying to be a lifeguard
00:11:32.020 And saying water isn't your
00:11:34.860 isn't your thing i got and it's not a gotcha it's china it's taiwan it's the south china sea it's
00:11:42.360 the one region on earth where american kids south carolina boys and girls could actually
00:11:46.160 end up and your answer was to pass i got another one for you to end it would you be in favor of
00:11:53.680 putting troops on the ground in iran i trust president trump to make that decision and the
00:11:59.500 team of generals that he has around him. I do know this, that, you know, we, that's been going
00:12:05.020 on for 47 years. I feel like Iran is the weakest it's ever been, but they're still strong. They're 1.00
00:12:11.760 still dangerous. So I trust President Trump to make that decision. Now, this is the part that
00:12:21.860 should worry you. This was the same week, a different microphone. She asked, she's asked
00:12:26.960 by a reporter if she'd support President Trump sending American troops on the ground into Iran.
00:12:33.120 And on that one question, she had an answer and it was yes. Let's make sure I've got this right.
00:12:39.640 Taiwan? Question mark, not in form. South China Sea? Not her thing. China? No idea. But a ground
00:12:46.600 war in Iran? Absolutely. Where does she sign? She doesn't know enough to have an opinion about China, 0.86
00:12:52.580 but she knows enough to send your kid to Tehran. That's not a candidate. That's what we call a
00:12:59.440 rubber stamp. You know who else says yes before they hear the question? Every guy who's ever
00:13:05.540 regretted buying a timeshare or getting a tattoo. Let me tell you what yes costs. 21 weeks in,
00:13:14.500 at least 18 Americans dead, 600 wounded, gas over $4, and that's the air war. Ground troops
00:13:22.160 are a different animal. And every single person who's worn the uniform knows it. They know the 0.77
00:13:27.700 price of war. That's a South Carolina name on a headstone. That's somebody's grave.
00:13:35.220 I will never support sending South Carolina sons and daughters to die in Tehran while D.C.
00:13:39.740 politicians play war from the safety of their offices. Washington doesn't need another rubber 0.63
00:13:46.000 stamp it has plenty rubber stamps are how we got 20 years in afghanistan and 20 in iraq
00:13:53.680 and i don't remember any of the people who held those stamps at the funerals and spare me
00:14:00.800 supporting the president means saying yes to everything that's not true that's not support
00:14:06.720 the people who actually help a president are the ones who tell him the truth before the caskets
00:14:12.640 come home, not after. You don't inherit a Senate seat and inherit the homework that comes with it.
00:14:22.860 There is no on-the-job training. There shouldn't be never for Senate. South Carolina, you get one
00:14:27.740 vote next Tuesday. Do you want a senator or do you want a rubber stamp? Because a stamp doesn't 0.81
00:14:33.080 ask how many. A stamp doesn't ask how long. And a stamp doesn't go to Dover to meet the plane.
00:14:40.740 no more blank checks no more yes men no more endless wars and national security
00:14:46.980 well it's it's kind of my thing and honestly i i just can't believe she's she's in her runoff
00:14:55.400 god bless ralph norman you better bring it home buddy you better bring it home brother ralph
00:15:01.100 norman we are counting on you we are counting on you the only tried and true conservative
00:15:05.900 So in closing, the DSA said yes to Beijing and told its members to stay quiet about the
00:15:13.700 concentration camps.
00:15:16.100 Board of Democrats nominated a yes man DSA socialist senator, and South Carolina has
00:15:22.580 a runoff with a United States senator that says yes to war before the president even
00:15:26.580 asked her yes to anything that he says.
00:15:30.040 No hard questions, no questions at all.
00:15:32.180 because yes is what you say when you want to keep the endorsements coming and with the power of a
00:15:36.400 U.S. Senate seat. Yes is how you get invited back. Yes is how you get invited to the cocktail
00:15:41.680 parties. No is how you get remembered. So next Tuesday, South Carolina, I want you to be remembered.
00:15:49.020 You get to be the no. No to the idea that this seat gets handed down like grandma's china,
00:15:53.320 and the only qualification is that you never disagree. You don't owe anybody a yes. You owe
00:15:58.560 your kids a senator who will say no when it counts. I've been told no my whole life. No, you can't
00:16:06.620 waitress. No, you can't go to the Citadel. You'll never make it. No, a woman won't make it through
00:16:11.080 the Corps of Cadets. And no, you can't take on the establishment. No, you can't flip a House seat 1.00
00:16:16.900 from Democrat to Republican. Turns out no is a pretty good diet. It keeps you lean. And here's
00:16:24.260 what I've learned from being on the receiving end of it. The people who say no to power are the only
00:16:30.560 reason power ever behaves. Socialists don't want you asking questions. The Senate candidate in
00:16:37.380 Florida can't answer them. And a rubber stamp by design doesn't have a mouth. In Matthew 5 it says
00:16:46.980 let your yes be yes and your no be no. Anything more comes from the evil one. I'll say no for you
00:16:54.160 if I have to. I've had a lifetime of practice. I see you're not following me.
00:17:02.020 Click that button and hit the follow.
