The Auron MacIntyre Show - Republicans： Fight Back or Be Destroyed ｜ 6⧸6⧸24

00:00:00.000 We hope you're enjoying your Air Canada flight.

00:00:02.320 Rocky's Vacation, here we come.

00:00:05.060 Whoa, is this economy?

00:00:07.180 Free beer, wine, and snacks.

00:00:09.620 Sweet! 0.95

00:00:10.720 Fast-free Wi-Fi means I can make dinner reservations before we land.

00:00:14.760 And with live TV, I'm not missing the game.

00:00:17.800 It's kind of like, I'm already on vacation.

00:00:20.980 Nice! 0.94

00:00:22.240 On behalf of Air Canada, nice travels.

00:00:25.260 Wi-Fi available to Airplane members on Equipped Flight.

00:00:27.340 Sponsored by Bell. Conditions apply.

00:00:28.580 See AirCanada.com.

00:00:30.000 By the measure of most polls, Donald Trump is the leading candidate to become the next

00:00:41.900 President of the United States.

00:00:43.880 And as of last Thursday, he also stands convicted on 34 family counts.

00:00:49.680 The former President won't be sentenced until July 11th, four days before the Republican

00:00:54.820 Convention, where he will presumably be nominated as the GOP candidate.

00:00:59.200 Joe Biden, or whoever runs his social media accounts, posted no one is above the law on

00:01:06.320 Twitter in response to the sham conviction of his political opponent. 0.97

00:01:10.680 That's an amazing statement for the father of prostitute-banging, crack-smoking, money-laundering 0.97

00:01:16.600 Hunter Biden to make. 0.98

00:01:18.340 But the President did so without hesitation.

00:01:20.240 The left has abandoned any remaining pretensions to constitutional rule and has embraced a very

00:01:27.000 simple mantra, for my friends, anything.

00:01:30.360 For my enemies, the law.

00:01:32.040 The United States prides itself on the rule of law and the orderly transfer of power.

00:01:38.280 Our ruling class lectures the leaders of other nations on the importance of constitutional

00:01:43.560 order, liberal democracy, and human rights.

00:01:46.360 So how did the shining city on a hill devolve into a system so corrupt that it would make

00:01:51.920 the dictator of a banana republic blush?

00:01:54.740 There are a lot of answers to that question, but one of the main reasons has been that conservatives

00:01:59.540 have an aversion to the basic idea of political opposition.

00:02:03.680 In Federalist 51, James Madison recognized that men are not angels and that simply appealing 0.95

00:02:11.100 to their better natures was insufficient.

00:02:14.020 Ambition must be made to counteract ambition, as Madison wrote.

00:02:18.860 But this political equilibrium can't be struck if one side has made shunning the use of power

00:02:24.960 their only guiding principle.

00:02:27.860 A balance of power is always predicated on the idea that if one side violates the norm,

00:02:33.680 they'll face a reciprocal exercise of power.

00:02:37.400 Ronald Reagan understood that the strategy of mutually assured destruction rested on the

00:02:42.520 plausible threat that if a red line was crossed, he would act to restore order by exercising

00:02:47.740 terrible power.

00:03:05.020 Not only have conservative leaders completely abandoned the idea of checking ambition with

00:03:10.960 ambition, they've sacralized the principle of total surrender by demonizing any exercise

00:03:17.200 of power.

00:03:18.580 Conservative commentators have turned politics, which was always a contact sport, into a debate

00:03:24.560 club, believing that the best argument will win the day.

00:03:27.800 While the founders certainly believed in free speech, they understood that ultimately it

00:03:33.900 was only power that can check power, not lofty speeches.

00:03:38.680 Persuasion rests on a shared religion, morality, and history.

00:03:43.720 The farther away a polity gets from these organic bonds, the less capable they are of mediating

00:03:49.820 their differences through discussion and consensus.

00:03:52.720 Many people, even some on the right, hate Donald Trump.

00:03:57.580 They hate his crass personal conduct.

00:03:59.880 They hate his response to the pandemic.

00:04:02.220 They hate his weakness in the face of a security state that intends to destroy him.

00:04:06.840 I'm not here to defend these undeniable aspects of his character, but Trump is only the most

00:04:11.980 visible target of a wider campaign to criminalize political opposition in the United States.

00:04:18.480 Universities today aren't just neglecting real education, they're actively undermining

00:04:23.300 it, and we can't let them get away with it.

00:04:25.260 America was made for an educated and engaged citizenry.

00:04:28.820 The Intercollegiate Studies Institute is here to help.

00:04:31.620 ISI offers programs and opportunities for conservative students across the country.

00:04:36.800 ISI understands that conservatives and right-of-center students feel isolated on college campuses

00:04:41.900 and that you're often fighting for your own reputation, dignity, and future.

00:04:46.320 Through ISI, you can learn about what Russell Kirk called the permanent things, the philosophical

00:04:51.540 and political teachings that shaped and made Western civilization great.

00:04:55.900 ISI offers many opportunities to jumpstart your career.

00:04:59.020 They have fellowships at some of the nation's top conservative publications like National Review,

00:05:03.360 The American Conservative, and The College Thinker.

00:05:06.100 If you're a graduate student, ISI offers funding opportunities to sponsor the next great

00:05:10.100 generation of college professors.

00:05:12.120 Through ISI, you can work with conservative thinkers who are making a difference.

00:05:15.700 Thinkers like Chris Ruffo, who currently has an ISI researcher helping him with his book.

00:05:21.060 But perhaps most importantly, ISI offers college students a community of people that can help

00:05:25.600 them grow.

00:05:26.480 If you're a college student, ISI can help you start a student organization or student newspaper

00:05:31.260 or meet other like-minded students at their various conferences and events.

00:05:35.980 ISI is here to educate the next generation of great Americans.

00:05:39.500 To learn more, go to ISI.org.

00:05:42.420 That's ISI.org.

00:05:44.180 On Friday, Joe Biden's DOJ succeeded in getting a 73-year-old woman sentenced to over two years

00:05:52.580 in prison for praying during a protest at an abortion clinic.

00:05:57.140 Due to her age and medical condition, her family is worried that she'll die in prison.

00:06:02.560 Douglas Mackey is currently facing jail time for posting a meme that insulted Hillary Clinton.

00:06:07.640 Donald Trump's lawyers and many former officials inside his administration have faced prosecution

00:06:14.680 as an intimidation tactic to make serving the former president impossible.

00:06:19.640 Any political party that seriously opposed the current administration would understand this attack

00:06:26.140 on its voters and its presidential candidate as an existential threat.

00:06:30.420 But the GOP has done nothing.

00:06:33.460 Outside of the impotent pointing and sputtering that's become the Republican standard response,

00:06:38.820 no action has been taken.

00:06:40.820 Many congressmen and senators have made outraged tweets.

00:06:44.280 But this is insufficient.

00:06:45.980 The average voter vents on social media because they have no other place to be heard.

00:06:50.300 If those that hold official office resort to the same behavior, it can only mean one of three things.

00:06:56.980 One, they're cowards, unwilling to take action.

00:07:00.060 Two, they have no real power and they lie to their constituents about it. 0.99

00:07:04.240 Or three, they're complicit in the destruction of our nation.

00:07:08.520 Many conservatives have now turned their hopes to November 5th,

00:07:12.480 believing that the procedure of an election will rescue them from having to take any form of substantive action.

00:07:18.400 This religious devotion to process is what has made conservatives the perpetual victims of a progressive establishment

00:07:26.620 that has mastered the art of manipulating procedural outcomes.

00:07:30.480 If Republicans extract no political price for the jailing of their candidates, functionaries, and constituents,

00:07:37.500 it's insane to believe that an election would somehow magically solve this problem. 0.99

00:07:42.700 Hunter Biden is a drug addict with a long history of hiring prostitutes, 1.00

00:07:47.120 buying guns illegally, and laundering money. 0.99

00:07:50.560 It's almost certain that he's committed a crime within the jurisdiction of a Republican prosecutor.

00:07:56.280 If not, no problem.

00:07:57.900 The left has played fast and loose with jurisdiction and the statute of limitations

00:08:02.460 in the case of both Trump and Douglas Mackey.

00:08:05.980 Ambition must be made to check ambition.

00:08:09.360 And Hunter Biden is far from the only corrupt Democrat

00:08:12.440 who has escaped justice due to the deference of Republican officials

00:08:16.880 who want to be seen as nonpartisan.

00:08:19.740 The time for that kind of deference is over. 0.67

00:08:22.240 Prosecutors should be spinning up cases against every dirty Democrat they can find 0.98

00:08:26.880 and should make it clear that these actions will continue

00:08:30.140 until Trump and other political prisoners are pardoned.

00:08:34.380 Strong GOP governors should also be applying pressure by enforcing immigration law immediately.

00:08:41.020 The Biden administration is encouraging an illegal invasion of the country

00:08:45.560 with the goal of permanently altering the demographics of the nation

00:08:49.880 and fundamentally changing the electoral balance inside the country.

00:08:54.760 Governors like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott,

00:08:57.060 who have already shown a willingness to buck corrupt federal dictates,

00:09:00.720 should lead the way by closing the borders of their states

00:09:03.020 and deporting all illegal aliens inside them. 0.97

00:09:06.440 The Republican House should end all funding for foreign wars.

00:09:09.940 In fact, they should stop funding the administration entirely.

00:09:14.080 Conservatives might be uncomfortable with the idea of political enemies.

00:09:18.540 They might think that it violates their principles to recognize

00:09:21.520 that actors within their country are hostile to their way of life.

00:09:26.180 But those people don't disappear just because you close your eyes

00:09:29.540 and wish upon the next election.

00:09:31.880 Whether the right likes it or not, they have enemies.

00:09:34.760 And in many cases, those enemies have already succeeded in making it a crime

00:09:38.860 to oppose the administration.

00:09:41.100 And if ambition does not check ambition,

00:09:43.720 there's nothing that'll stop the left's march towards total control.

00:09:48.140 Republicans must exact a price from their political enemies

00:09:51.980 or complete their inevitable slide into total irrelevance.

00:09:56.540 For my friends, anything.

00:09:58.800 But for my enemies, the law.
