00:00:01.000 A real frontline patriot brings you his one-of-a-kind perspective on freedom versus tyranny.
00:00:08.860 This is the world premiere of the Political Prisoner Podcast, powered by Gateway Pundit.
00:00:15.160 Now, live from solitary confinement, here's your host, January Sixer, Jake Lang.
00:00:30.000 Hello, everyone. We're back with our guest, Dinesh D'Souza. Wow, what a man. I'm so honored
00:00:37.840 to have him on my program, the Political Prisoner Podcast. Dinesh is the founder and the creator of
00:00:44.100 a documentary called 2000 Mules that is mind-blowing. It exposes a lot of the fraud in
00:00:50.280 the 2020 election. He also runs a podcast himself that I've been on and that has hundreds of
00:00:56.700 thousands of daily listeners. He's one of the biggest conservative proponents in the nation
00:01:01.200 and just a great man that stands for liberty and our Constitution in undefiled ways. So,
00:01:08.160 Dinesh, how are we doing today, brother? Hey, I'm doing fine. Thanks for having me on the podcast.
00:01:13.880 Yeah, God bless you, man. Well, you know, the big thing that's happening right now,
00:01:18.320 obviously, is the midterms, and you know how they're trying to tie in January 6th, January 6th,
00:01:23.360 January 6th to all of the, you know, kind of stamping on some of these more outspoken conservative
00:01:29.820 candidates. I've seen multiple commercials here from my prison in Rappahannock, my ninth prison
00:01:35.660 that they brought me towards now about, you know, they're showing images of January 6th and kind of
00:01:42.740 branding different conservative leaders and Republican forerunners as extremists and whatnot.
00:01:48.820 Now, what do you think about tying January 6th to the Republican kind of more conservatives, more Trump MAGA-style Republican forerunners?
00:01:59.020 Do you think that that's a good move for the Democrats, or do you think it's a bad move?
00:02:03.060 Well, I saw an interesting article just yesterday or the day before that basically said that the two big themes that the Democrats have been pushing in the election,
00:02:13.400 that the Republicans are extreme and that the Republicans are, quote,
00:02:19.920 the election deniers and the insurrection supporters,
00:02:25.080 these themes are not really resonating with the American people.
00:02:30.700 In fact, even on the issue of election integrity,
00:02:35.100 the Republicans are running modestly ahead of the Democrats.
00:02:39.340 And see, the Democrats think that's their like slam dunk issue, but it's not. Why? Because A, lots of people do believe that the election was stolen. They certainly believe that you should be able to talk about it. And number two, many people believe that January 6th was a frame up, was a fraud, and it's certainly being over prosecuted.
00:03:03.000 So all those things are embedded, I think, in the American psyche. Now, this is not to say that the Democrats can't make hay with those issues in certain precincts, but I think as a nationwide phenomenon, this whole campaign that sort of, yes, we're having an election and it's an exercise in democracy, but one party is, quote, against democracy, this is proving to be a total dud.
00:03:25.560 i couldn't agree with you more i think that um the american people got their their eyes peeled
00:03:33.260 um for the you know the hypocrisy of the left as far as when joe biden goes up on uh you know
00:03:39.880 presidential stages and uh says very extremist leaning things and calling all trump supporters
00:03:45.600 semi-fascists and um calling out the macro crowd which is just a red-blooded american
00:03:50.700 liberty-minded crowd as enemies to the state and, you know, existential threats to democracy that,
00:03:58.420 you know, they're pointing the finger, one finger at the Republicans, but three are pointing back
00:04:03.260 at them at this extremist wave. And, you know, American people see right through it. And,
00:04:07.900 you know, that's really kind of what this all boils down to is can people, do people believe
00:04:13.660 the TV or do they believe what their own eyes are telling them and what reality has? And,
00:04:18.640 And, you know, it's podcasts like yours that kind of cut through the noise and give people the truth, the on-the-ground reality, what's happening instead of these spun narratives.
00:04:28.920 And you know how much the narrative has been spun around the 2020 election.
00:04:32.980 Do you think these midterms, we have a great worry for more types of the nefarious actions with ballot stuffing, social media censorship, all of the myriad of different ways?
00:04:48.340 technologically and physically, that the last election was rigged.
00:04:52.100 What's your thoughts on this midterm election having those same threats towards it?
00:04:56.700 Well, a couple of thoughts on that.
00:04:58.600 I think, number one, that when you expose something, it's very hard to do it the same way again.
00:05:06.520 Because I know even during the Arizona primaries, there were basically patriots camping out at these mail-in ballot drop boxes.
00:05:14.300 They were almost like having a tailgate party.
00:05:16.320 And it's like, hey, we're waiting for the mules to show up. Let's see if any mules turn up to stuff ballots. So when people are aware nationwide, it's really difficult to deploy the kind of network that was deployed in 2020.
00:05:28.640 Now, with regard to January 6th, the Republican Party here has been really derelict, in my opinion, with the exception of a handful of Republicans in the House and really virtually none in the Senate.
00:05:43.220 Republicans tend to deal with these issues, whether it's, quote, election denial or whether it's January 6th, by essentially going into hiding under the desk.
00:05:51.500 This is a disgrace because, honestly, these are not losing issues.
00:05:55.600 These are issues on which when you fight back, I mean, when I started making 2,000 meals, nobody was really talking about election fraud.
00:06:02.340 They're afraid they're going to get banned, throw it off YouTube, oh, there's no evidence, it's a big lie, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:08.960 But if you sit down and methodically make the case, suddenly you realize it's not a big lie.
00:06:14.320 In fact, the real big lie is that this was the most secure election in history.
00:06:18.060 Where's the evidence for that?
00:06:19.140 I've never seen one iota of evidence showing, demonstrating, proving that this was the most secure election in history, and yet the fact-checkers are okay with it.
00:06:28.960 You know, so I think that here the Republican Party needs to take a page from Lincoln and discover the virtue of courage and recognize that if they begin to run, instead of running away, if you run on these issues, you'll find that they can be winners for you.
00:06:45.740 uh definitely um you know one of the problems is uh we paint the republican party as this unified
00:06:53.500 force like um like the january sixers were i mean that day we were unified and standing up for our
00:06:59.900 constitution and free and fair elections and that's a certain ilk of people what we have
00:07:04.360 there's still the swamp is still left in the republican party kevin mccarthy seems like he
00:07:08.980 may be getting his wits about him a little more um but you know we still have a lot of members in
00:07:14.480 the Republican Party that need to be ousted from their Mitch McConnells and people of that nature
00:07:20.320 and stuff like that. How do you see the political shift that Donald Trump and the real solid people
00:07:28.640 stand up for liberty in this country who have kind of become his supporters and found their way
00:07:33.480 around the DeSantis and the MAGA movement? How do you see that shifting in the 2022 midterms as far
00:07:39.660 Do you think that the House and the Senate is going to be run by the MAGA crowd, or do you think it's going to be the same old business as Washington, the swamp monsters and the Republican rhinos are still going to be in control, or do you see a shift that's going to actually fundamentally change America?
00:07:57.400 So the answer is in the middle.
00:07:59.340 And what I mean by that is that, you know, there have been articles recently that, you know,
00:08:03.640 one half of all the Republican candidates running in the midterms are election deniers.
00:08:09.440 And to me, it's like, that's fantastic.
00:08:11.800 That shows me that 2,000 mules is having its effect.
00:08:14.320 It's showing me that people are actually seeing the evidence.
00:08:18.080 And so I think that the message has gone out to the Republican establishment
00:08:23.600 that the base of the Republican Party is definitely MAGA
00:08:28.740 and is definitely, you may say, on our side.
00:08:32.220 Now, this is not to say, I mean, we can afford to kick out some of the, quote, rhinos,
00:08:37.740 the people who are sort of not really Republican at all, 0.91
00:08:40.480 but every party does need an establishment.
00:08:42.940 The Democratic Party has an establishment. 0.72
00:08:44.540 Nancy Pelosi is in it. Chuck Schumer is in it.
00:08:47.780 What we need is an establishment better attuned to what the base wants
00:08:52.480 and an establishment that speaks for us and is not sort of trying to undermine us behind closed doors.
00:08:59.340 So I think with that, you need both a carrot and a stick approach.
00:09:03.860 I mean, I saw this happening in the early 80s with Reagan,
00:09:07.240 because if you remember, the Republican establishment was all kind of a Gerald Ford establishment.
00:09:12.680 Reagan was the outsider.
00:09:13.900 But what happened over time is that Reaganism kind of, you may say, infected the entire Republican Party,
00:09:20.020 and pretty much everybody became a Reaganite.
00:09:22.480 That's what we want to see happen here, not necessarily to kick everybody out, but we want these guys to realize that, hey, listen, this is the way to win.
00:09:30.460 This is where the Republican Party is going.
00:09:33.120 If you want to be the leader, you better get out in front of your followers.
00:09:38.980 Yeah, for sure.
00:09:41.260 I mean, you know, one of the things that is kind of like the meter that I've been using and I know a lot of people in my circle have been using is if somebody is willing to stand behind the January Sixers, call them patriots, say, see the two tier justice system, how we've been treated compared to Hunter Biden and Antifa rioters and anybody that has been protected by the establishment media and by the Democrat Party.
00:10:08.820 If the Republicans who are elected in the midterm can come and actually stand behind the January Sixers and speak the truth about the event, an unarmed protest that turned into violence after the police instigated us, that we were there standing up on behalf of our Constitution, free and fair elections, and for liberty for generations, I think that that will be the meter that shows, okay, is the Republican Party shifting into a fighter?
00:10:38.660 a party of fighters, party of go-getters, or are they just going to win back power in
00:10:43.800 the midterms and then just relax and kind of not try to change anything, keep the status
00:10:48.300 quo the status quo?
00:10:49.460 What do you think are some different signifiers that are going to show the American people
00:10:54.380 after we take back the House and God bless, hopefully the Senate, that there's actually
00:10:58.260 a change coming, that Washington politics is actually going to be able to change America?
00:11:03.760 Or do you think that people should put their faith in something much higher than Washington
00:11:08.000 and that only God can help save this country and change this country?
00:11:11.460 Because that's where I've been more leaning towards now recently, in my own opinion,
00:11:15.440 but I want to know yours.
00:11:17.760 Well, the American politics is fought in teams,
00:11:21.240 and we have essentially a Republican team and a Democratic team,
00:11:26.420 and much as we might like some other libertarian or third party
00:11:32.500 or some other way to work politically,
00:11:35.060 this is pretty much the only earthly way to win.
00:11:41.640 And so we have to work on our own team and make it bigger and stronger.
00:11:46.640 But we don't want to pin out our own ranks because we can't win.
00:11:50.920 Republicans need – we need to hold the Republicans and win some independence,
00:11:55.340 and then we'll crush the other side. 1.00
00:11:57.000 I mean, the good news is that, you know, black males are coming over in our direction. 0.99
00:12:01.720 Hispanics, male and female, are coming in our direction.
00:12:04.520 We're becoming increasingly the party of the working class, and there certainly are a lot of those.
00:12:09.460 So long-term prospects of the Republican Party look good.
00:12:13.920 But, you know, I was listening to the newly elected Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Maloney.
00:12:18.460 She's speaking Italian, but you can largely follow her and their subtitles. 0.97
00:12:22.780 She's so fiery, passionate, intelligent, hardcore.
00:12:26.120 And I'm thinking, I cannot think of one person in the Republican Party right now who is like this.
00:12:31.540 This is what we need. 0.99
00:12:32.580 We need about 30 Georgia Malonis, and we would really have a different country. 0.99
00:12:37.660 Yeah, I like that. 0.96
00:12:39.800 You know, the passion has kind of been sucked out of our politics.
00:12:42.940 And, you know, people like yourself that are very passionate about what they do, Dinesh, are really helping shift this new generation of patriots and people of great faith, people who love liberty, to come to the forefront and to start running for local school boards and congressmen and women positions.
00:13:00.320 And I do see a great field, and I see great potential for America if we can put our faith in God and also support each other and stand on the principles of our Constitution.
00:13:11.540 And you're doing great work on your podcast, guys.
00:13:14.080 Everybody who's listening to the sound of my voice right now, I want you to go on the Apple Podcast app, Spotify.
00:13:19.340 I want you to type in Dinesh D'Souza.
00:13:21.380 I want you to check out his podcast.
00:13:22.840 He does daily.
00:13:23.980 He's an absolute fireball.
00:13:25.320 He's got the passion.
00:13:26.520 He's a great leader.
00:13:27.460 And more people like Dinesh and more people like yourself, all of our amazing listeners,
00:13:33.740 tuning in and getting involved in politics and getting involved in your worship of God
00:13:38.360 and moving in action, putting your faith to action will help save this country.
