00:00:30.000 hey everybody how's it going thanks for joining me this afternoon i am oran mcintyre before we

00:00:44.560 get started i just want to tell you about the partnership we now have with passage publications

00:01:28.700 shop blaze media shop dot blaze media.com you can head there today all right guys well uh you know

00:01:37.780 after after the party there's always a amazing negotiation over what has actually happened what

00:01:44.500 is going on uh as they say often uh you know success has many fathers but failure is an orphan

00:01:51.780 In this case, it looks like everyone is trying to assign the failure to someone or something, but ultimately there's been an incredible battle over who was right, who was wrong, what's the actual cause of this massive loss in the midterms, what should be the consequences, who should be thrown out of the movement, who should be welcomed in, should we see big shakeups at the administration?

00:02:15.080 We're already seeing them. We'll talk about the incredible ones that are coming up soon.

00:02:19.780 But there's just been this huge shootout over the consequences of this electoral loss.

00:02:27.640 Now, the first thing, of course, has been a debate over what actually caused this.

00:02:33.320 It should be easy. There should be no debate.

00:02:36.000 In fact, I had AI even make me this nice little reminder from Bart Simpson about what caused this.

00:02:43.080 why are we in this position how have we ended up in this situation um it was the iran war that

00:02:50.200 that's not really up for debate but we'll talk about the people who are desperately trying to

00:02:54.060 make it up for debate and why uh all the alternative uh explanations are ridiculous now

00:02:59.920 obviously nothing is monocausal uh it wasn't just the iran war but it was definitely the iran war

00:03:06.940 It was the most important issue that voters went to the polls over, both the Iran war and its economic consequences and everything else.

00:03:16.460 Yeah, there's other stuff. There's the corruption allegations. There's the tariffs. There's all kinds of other things.

00:03:23.020 But that is all a distant second to the Iran war and its economic consequences.

00:03:27.880 Again, when we looked at President Trump's approval rating, it was inversely correlated almost directly with gas prices.

00:03:35.320 every time gas prices up went up his approval went down every time they went down his approval

00:03:40.160 went up like they're it's it's just that simple i know that's just one chart but we also have a

00:03:47.140 million other pieces of evidence including exit polls about why this happened but for some reason

00:03:53.180 the denial continues to come uh i shouldn't say for some reason we all know exactly the reason

00:03:58.740 uh the neocons are determined to get this war and finish this war and keep this war

00:04:04.500 and make sure that they have this narrative that somehow it was MAGA or it was the online right or young white guys or something,

00:04:13.320 anything, literally anything except the war, because we need the war.

00:04:16.260 We always have to have the war. We're always going to be at war in the Middle East.

00:04:19.680 That's just what America was founded to do, was to go to war in the Middle East.

00:04:24.160 That's just the narrative that they have to cling on to. They have nothing else.

00:04:28.040 And of course, to be fair, this is the narrative that is being pushed by places like Fox News,

00:04:32.040 which is you know ultimately going out of its way to shelter the boom boomers from the consequences

00:04:38.240 of these decisions you know just to keep that echo chamber make sure that core audience never

00:04:43.820 hears any other explanation for what happened here uh obviously that's like very heavily what

00:04:49.180 they're leaning into and so this helps out the general narrative of course that this you know

00:04:53.500 didn't have something to do they were in war because the most consequential news station

00:04:58.200 oriented towards the majority of the conservative kind of movement is spouting this nonsense

00:05:05.520 constantly. The good news is nobody who isn't watching the Fox News between pocket catheter

00:05:11.340 commercials, nobody believes this. Absolutely nobody believes this. So there's going to be a

00:05:15.540 lot of hot air. There's going to be a lot of spent energy. But at the end of the day, they simply

00:05:19.340 cannot redefine things enough. They can't reframe things enough to explain this any other way.

00:05:25.160 that said let's go to one of our all-time favorites good old ben shapiro uh because

00:05:31.600 ben shapiro of course had uh you know just a delusional attempt to ignore the realities here

00:05:38.820 uh and it's truly incredible so i want to make sure that we watch it together on let me switch

00:05:45.140 this up so here's ben explaining why we lost the midterms what what deep insight i mean ben has

00:05:53.380 been doing this he's my age uh but he's been doing this way longer you know i've been doing this for

00:05:57.740 like four years he's been doing this since he was like 12 i don't know uh you know since he was in

00:06:02.440 high school uh ben's been a professional political analyst so he must know he must know i mean this

00:06:08.700 guy has been a professional for decades and decades runs a serious you know major uh uh

00:06:15.980 conservative media company ben has to know he would not mislead his audience he would not

00:06:20.900 intentionally lie to his audience about what happened here ben has to be a straight shooter

00:06:26.700 on this issue right let's let's hear what ben had to say so let's break it down into what the

00:06:30.340 three big things that happened here three big things have happened since president trump

00:06:35.280 2.0 took office unaffordability chaos corruption now three big things unaffordability chaos and

00:06:47.280 corruption three big things have happened since Donald Trump 2.0 took office unaffordability

00:06:53.040 corruption chaos um I think there's there's something missing here I think there might be

00:07:01.800 one major event that you might have left off the list now if this isn't a comprehensive list of

00:07:10.500 what Trump has done that's fair I obviously didn't hear shutting down USAID that's a big one

00:07:16.080 or closing the border that's a big one ben's not here listing his accomplishments

00:07:20.440 obviously so he says three big things have happened he means three bad things have happened

00:07:27.180 right three things that might have lost us this but none of those are the war none of them are

00:07:34.260 the war or the cost of living that rose because of the gas prices because of the war

00:07:39.580 ben is a professional political commentator he's been doing this for decades and decades

00:07:47.260 he runs a corporation based on this he's been writing articles about this while i was still

00:07:53.600 i don't know writing summaries of books uh in in my literature class in high school

00:08:00.000 but he doesn't know the war is the major cause he can't read an exit poll

00:08:06.780 of course he knows of course he knows the war is it he's lying he's lying to his audience

00:08:15.440 on purpose that's it that's all there is to it there is no other explanation here

00:08:21.100 he's just lying by every metric unaffordability was the top issue in this election with a bullet

00:08:27.760 by a long shot there was no close second if people believe that their lives are unaffordable

00:08:33.380 you're going to lose your party is going to perform poorly and by the way again this is

00:08:37.700 sort of the generic way that things work in a midterm election that's true that's true all of

00:08:42.940 those things are true but we're not talking about why things are less affordable now again nothing

00:08:49.580 is just monocausal the economy was kind of fake before we went into the iran war uh we have been

00:08:59.540 printing money endlessly for decades and decades uh and so we're going to end up in this scenario

00:09:05.400 we we have bought entirely into an inflationary economy where this is always going to be the case

00:09:11.200 so that's obvious that that makes this partially inevitable we had all kinds of other factors that

00:09:19.300 were contributing to the artificial inflation of things like the housing market we have the

00:09:25.960 ai bubble and everything else that's in you know that that's that's tied into that how that ties

00:09:31.420 up liquidity how that makes it harder for people to do things like you know purchase a computer

00:09:36.020 that kind of thing and it's true we had tariffs there were tariffs that evolved now i think there

00:09:41.240 could be positive aspects to tariffs i think that you have to take some steps to ultimately reshore

00:09:46.660 manufacturing and make sure that america actually has an industrial base and that might mean that

00:09:51.740 you can't just play the free and open economic game that you've been playing forever. But whether

00:09:57.280 or not I think there might be some value to it, I can admit. See, here's me admitting whether or not

00:10:03.460 I think that policy might have some merit. It's definitely a contributing factor to the cost of

00:10:10.340 living. See, I can admit that because I'm going to tell you the truth. I'll give you my preferences.

00:10:17.800 i'll explain my reasoning to you but i'm going to tell you the truth

00:10:22.560 but the biggest thing the thing that has changed the most the thing that people literally shifted

00:10:29.920 their support of donald trump on his approval rating literally rose and fell exactly with

00:10:35.860 this number was gas prices and the gas prices are affected by the war by the war and by the way not

00:10:44.920 just the iran war also the ukraine war that trump promised to stop the minute he stepped into office

00:10:51.220 and did not and in fact we kept funding that war your money is still paying the retirement

00:10:57.120 of ukrainian bureaucrats you're you're spending 120 to fill up your gas tank

00:11:04.160 but your money is going to ukraine to pay their retired bureaucrats

00:11:09.140 and then when ukraine started attacking russia's diesel manufacturing because they recognized that

00:11:18.260 that was going to be advantageous to them and they blew trump off over and over again oh thanks for

00:11:22.960 the hundreds of billions of dollars guys but we're just going to ignore you entirely because

00:11:27.760 we don't respect you at all because alinsky never has and we're just going to go bomb these

00:11:32.280 facilities to ensure that the global price for these commodities explodes. So it's not just the

00:11:40.240 Iran war, but it's all war. It's a whole wars. Okay. But let's go back. Let's hear some more

00:11:47.980 of what it has to say. People believe that all the problems will be solved by an election. They

00:11:53.000 don't get solved. Then they're mad about it. And then they revert to the other party during a

00:11:56.660 midterm. That's normal. And that's particularly true in the second term of a president's midterm

00:12:00.940 like 20 again it's true that we have these swings right it's true that we have these swings that

00:12:07.260 would be normal and you know we've we've looked at some analysis here and it seems like if we

00:12:15.180 were not going to have the iran war we were probably heading for the normal midterm which

00:12:19.140 is that the republicans would have lost some seats in the house maybe they would have lost the house

00:12:23.500 they would retain the senate they would have kept most of their governorships all the things that

00:12:27.800 you'd expect right it's it's it's a bad midterm because most midterms are bad but it would have

00:12:33.060 been an average midterm that's what we would have expected without the iran war with the iran war

00:12:39.420 we get a very different midterm we don't just get the you know the pendulum swing that ben's

00:12:45.020 talking about the natural back and forth what we get instead is a disaster where we don't just

00:12:53.260 lose the house we don't just lose the senate we see a cascade effect all the way down the ticket

00:12:59.800 we lose governors we lose senators of course but we lose them in places like kansas

00:13:07.340 that haven't elected a democrat to the senate since fdr

00:13:11.400 so again the idea that this is just oops you know this is the normal you know voters they get it

00:13:18.360 wrong you know they they they vote one guy out they expect the next guy to fix it they vote the

00:13:22.920 next guy out again true all of that is true at some level but ben is purposely missing the analysis

00:13:29.880 for this election because he can't talk about it because then it reveals that his plan for the

00:13:37.560 middle east screwed america right before you had ben and mark levin right before the midterms you

00:13:44.500 had ben and mark levin talking to each other i think ben was on mark's show and he said hey

00:13:50.400 i don't think the iraq war is going to have any iran war is going to have any impact on the

00:13:55.920 midterms and mark levin agrees immediately yes yes absolutely neocon yes neocon i don't think

00:14:02.060 that this war that we really want and we think is more valuable than the united states i don't

00:14:05.820 think that'll have any impact on the midterms i agree and they were disastrously wrong

00:14:12.120 but of course ben can't say that what's he gonna do how's he gonna survive as a political pundit

00:14:19.520 when his punditry is obviously in no way connected with reality?

00:14:23.520 When the agenda is so obvious from a mile away from outer space

00:14:28.460 that you can't help but see it?

00:14:31.200 How are you going to maintain credibility as a political actor,

00:14:35.080 as a political analyst, when you can't even admit

00:14:37.860 the most basic things about the policies you're promoting?

00:14:42.280 So he has to pretend it's something else.

00:14:44.640 a 14 for Barack Obama or 2006 for George W. Bush. If people feel that their lives are

00:14:53.140 unaffordable, your party is going to get hit. And in a second, we're going to get into the

00:14:57.320 policies that made things more unaffordable. But mere unaffordability doesn't mean what we saw

00:15:02.440 last night. There's a difference between an L and a wipeout. If you're talking about electoral

00:15:08.520 catastrophe, a wipeout like we saw last night, you need more ingredients. And here are the other

00:15:14.300 ingredients chaos and corruption you'll notice again that the war's not there you'll notice that

00:15:24.160 foreign wars that everyone voted trump in to stop is not on that list is not what now maybe we'll

00:15:32.200 file this under chaos right let's see so if you have a generalized sense things are not going well

00:15:36.620 and then on top of that you layer in a feeling of chaos a feeling the person just doesn't care

00:15:42.440 about your issues and is distracted and then is there a reason people didn't feel that trump

00:15:48.560 cared about there is like is there one action if you were i don't know if you were going to bring

00:15:52.780 up one action that people looked at donald trump and he said you know i don't think he cares about

00:15:58.660 me in this moment is there one thing one thing you could point to one one one choice that has

00:16:06.700 been made that people said, I think he might care more about a different agenda than he does about

00:16:13.200 me and mine. Is there anything that comes to mind? I think there is. I don't think it's just

00:16:18.580 general chaos. I think there's actually a very specific reason people felt like Trump did not

00:16:24.660 care. By the way, most of the time when Trump said he didn't care, you know what he was talking

00:16:29.100 about? The war in Iran and gas prices. I was literally at a Trump rally the week before the

00:16:34.520 election and he told the crowd he didn't care about gas prices because we were making so much

00:16:40.240 money uh who's we who's we mr president who's we making so much money what does that mean

00:16:47.080 why don't you care about gas prices because we are making so much money

00:16:52.620 so yeah i agree there are people who looked at trump and said there's chaos and this seems like

00:16:58.020 a guy who may not currently care about what's going on in my life but the reason was because

00:17:03.860 he was fighting a war that was driving up his the gas prices and he knew it was bad he knew

00:17:09.540 that it was hurting people and he said he didn't care because he's making money i guess

00:17:16.740 yeah that that's bad and this has been a big shift yeah i saw jesse kelly talking about this

00:17:23.400 um new to the blaze congratulations jesse love to have you a great guy but he was saying you know

00:17:29.840 Trump 1.0 never talked down to the people.

00:17:35.400 Trump 1.0 had a lot to say about the corruption in Washington, a lot to say about the corruption in the media, a lot to say about the corruption in business, everything.

00:17:47.080 He was attacking a lot of people, politicians.

00:17:49.900 I mean, in some ways that we found uncouth.

00:17:52.660 The man was insulting Ted Cruz's wife.

00:17:55.240 But ultimately, he was always attacking the powerful.

00:17:58.800 he was always attacking the enemies of the united states and instead this term

00:18:06.840 been a lot more of you haven't done enough for me now now trump has been attacking his base

00:18:15.440 often he's attacking people who supported him from the beginning and that has had a negative impact

00:18:21.020 but one of the major problems the thing he's been sounding as out of touch in like the

00:18:28.780 The thing he's sound the most out of touch about is the war and gas prices.

00:18:33.120 He said right after the election, he didn't care about losing the midterms.

00:18:36.800 He would do the whole Iran invasion again.

00:18:41.220 So, yeah, like, I think people will feel disconnected and unheard there.

00:18:48.460 That's the chaos.

00:18:50.100 That's where they think things have gone wrong.

00:18:52.300 On top of that corruption, you're looking at electoral doom.

00:18:55.060 And that's what happened last night.

00:18:56.660 now again there are allegations of corruption out there i want to be clear i have no idea

00:19:02.020 i've been you know we've got reporting that you know you have to pay a certain amount to get like

00:19:06.580 a pardon on the on the slate or you know you have to make some offers to get you know the the chief

00:19:11.740 of staff or whatever to say anything i have no clue i'm not going to pretend like i have any clue

00:19:16.160 i have no inside information i'm not going to sit here and you know just assume that every new york

00:19:20.940 times or wall street journal article is correct but i mean i've heard from people even people who

00:19:26.520 are pretty pro-Trump that yeah there there is unfortunately a decent amount of corruption

00:19:31.660 involved in the administration again I don't know but people I do know who probably know have said

00:19:38.120 yeah that's that's kind of a thing I'm sure that had a big effect I'm sure the average person

00:19:43.000 looking at you know members of the Trump administration lining their pockets while

00:19:47.800 other people are having you know have no money in the bank I'm sure that's a huge issue but again

00:19:53.560 the war like that seems like another issue where people would attribute corruption there

00:20:00.080 oh here's a guy going to fight a war i was not sold it was not explained to me

00:20:04.460 that's costing our uh our nation tens of billions of dollars that's probably lining the pockets of

00:20:12.340 defense contractors and all these other people who are donating around in the republican party

00:20:16.640 while my gas prices shoot through the roof yeah i could see that as corruption

00:20:23.660 i would probably be the most obvious instance of corruption

00:20:27.560 and again here's the thing it's all the gestalt of all of these things all at once right it's all

00:20:34.720 the things all at once everything everywhere all at once it's not just for example the tariffs

00:20:38.600 right which i think are bad policy it's how they were rolled out is about how president

00:20:42.800 the tariffs now again i am more than willing to believe that tariffs had a negative impact

00:20:51.540 again i think they're more justifiable than other things that we wasted political capital on but the

00:20:57.760 way they were rolled out to ben's credit here i'll give ben some credit here the way that they

00:21:01.240 were rolled out specifically was bad they were not properly targeted they should have been laser

00:21:06.020 focused on ensuring that we maintained certain industries that we pressured certain players

00:21:12.240 to play fair so that we could bring home and reshore as much as possible and instead we got

00:21:17.540 kind of a scattershot well you know maybe this maybe that uh actually this guy's kind of been

00:21:22.600 mean to me this week so the tariff goes you know 10 feet higher we got a lot of that and that's

00:21:28.700 not smart because when you're doing tariffs you're playing with people's livelihoods you know you're

00:21:33.560 not just you're not just out there making fun of the media right like you can be flimp it you can

00:21:38.580 even be a little vindictive when you're mocking the media everyone kind of likes that out of trump

00:21:43.400 you can't do that when you're adjusting tariffs because that's actually like your money that's

00:21:47.620 actually the money of the people in your country that you are playing with now again i do see a

00:21:54.180 path forward where tariffs were necessary and could have been done correctly even if unpopular

00:21:59.080 but that's not the world we got and so again to ben's credit at least on this part the rollout

00:22:03.480 issue is real that said um when you ask people viscerally when they are at the poll what hit

00:22:13.200 your cost of living nobody said tariffs nobody and we know because we can see the exit polls

00:22:18.980 okay like i'm not saying tariffs had no impact but when you're looking at the psychology of the

00:22:26.000 voter what did they think when they head into the polling place what do they think when they punch

00:22:32.420 that button, or they fill in that bubble, or whatever you do in your state.

00:23:08.560 They're thinking about the war. Because the thing about the tariffs is Trump promised the tariffs.

00:23:15.080 Now you can say ultimately that was a mistake, bad promise, people didn't really support it. Okay,

00:23:19.240 fine. Ultimately, that was something Trump said he was going to do. The Iraq or the Iran war,

00:23:26.980 probably want to do that a thousand more times. Sorry about that. The Iran war is something that

00:23:31.400 Trump promised specifically he would not do, that Stephen Miller promised that Trump would not do,

00:23:35.920 that J.D. Vance promised that Trump would not do, that they mocked other people for saying

00:23:41.000 they would ever do. And then he did it. And apparently he did it against the advice of

00:23:45.820 everybody, including guys like Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance, and even his generals, even some of

00:23:51.140 the most aggressive people in the State Department, in the Department of Defense said, I don't know,

00:23:57.300 man, doesn't seem like a good call this time. Maybe we should back off this one. And he did

00:24:01.600 it anyway. And so when people feel that betrayal of that promise, then they see the economic cost

00:24:08.660 of that promise. It hurts them much more. They might've even paid more overall in tariffs. I

00:24:16.000 doubt it, but we'll just give that for a moment. But even if they did pay more in tariffs, they

00:24:21.680 ultimately care more about the war and the gas prices because the betrayal is attached and

00:24:27.480 because they see the cost at the pump every other day when they go and fill up most people probably

00:24:33.800 aren't seeing unless you're in manufacturing or exports or imports or something you probably

00:24:38.280 don't see the cost of the tariff right in your face every day but everybody watch the gas price

00:24:43.440 skyrocket everybody can see it and they have to stare it in the face every day so when we're

00:24:49.800 talking about the affordability crisis the first thing people notice is the gas and the reason they

00:24:55.700 notice it is it is attached to their everyday life their day-to-day and to a failed promise

00:25:01.060 a broken promise about foreign adventures in iran america was not put first and that was clear

00:25:09.340 that's what jd vance said when he responded he said it's very clear that we broke our promise

00:25:15.780 to put america first we shouldn't have gone to war we need to rethink our relationship with israel

00:25:20.580 and we need to care about affordability that's what jd vance said so like obviously these are

00:25:27.440 the major factors and i've heard this tariff stuff i hear this from neocons i've even heard it heard

00:25:32.960 it from you know people who are supposed to be uh you know some kind of uh conservative analyst or

00:25:38.640 pundit again the tariffs matter i'm not saying they don't matter or they're just not the first

00:25:45.620 cause. And it's so obvious that we're avoiding the real cause here on purpose because it clashes

00:25:51.260 with an alternative agenda that has nothing to do with accurate political analysis or America

00:25:56.440 first understanding of priorities. Trump talked about them. It's the taco wing. It's the

00:26:01.600 vacillation, the confusion, the insanity, the unwillingness to back off of them even while he

00:26:06.220 was. The special carve outs. Even where President Trump's policy is correct, in my view, the rollout

00:26:13.600 has been pretty bad pretty much every time from the Epstein files to the execution of the Iran

00:26:19.100 war to tariff policy. So again, multiple, multiple things here, right? Yes. The, the Epstein rollout

00:26:26.100 was bad, but that was because Trump made a bad decision. He couldn't roll out the Epstein files

00:26:32.360 correctly. Now, again, I don't know. I don't know what they ultimately had. I don't know what was

00:26:37.680 there and what disappeared. What I do know is that Trump, J.D. Vance, Pam Bondi, all of these

00:26:47.280 people, Dan Bongino, Kash Patel, they spent lots of time. Now, his surrogates did it more. Trump

00:26:52.860 only mentioned it a few times, but all of these other people mentioned it multiple times. Some

00:26:57.900 people made it like their entire personality. We're going to deliver you the Epstein files.

00:27:01.840 and then they delivered nothing so it's not just the rollout that rollout matters it was bad

00:27:08.540 but it's the fact that literally you not only did nothing you actively fought the release of the

00:27:13.560 files and then when the files were compelled he said oh there's nothing in there it's like okay

00:27:20.380 well if there's nothing in there why did you restrict the rollout why did you fight tooth

00:27:25.200 and nail why did you destroy your reputation over it it's got to be one or the other either the

00:27:29.360 epstein files mean nothing and you should have just rolled them out and told everybody here it

00:27:33.900 is see not much there or there is something there and you fought tooth and nail to keep it

00:27:39.960 under wraps but the worst possible scenario the most nightmarish possible explanation is that

00:27:47.900 there was nothing there and you still fought tooth and nail like an idiot to stop it so yeah

00:27:52.620 the rollout's a problem but actually i think the policy is an issue as well same with the iran war

00:27:57.820 The Iran war, there is no better way they could have done the Iran war.

00:28:01.180 I want to make this really clear.

00:28:02.180 I mean, there are probably micro decisions that could have been better, but the Iran

00:28:05.220 war was unwinnable from the beginning.

00:28:07.800 And the reason the Iran war was unwinnable from the beginning is that you had to do a

00:28:13.560 boots on the ground invasion with multiple, multiple years of occupation to force regime

00:28:18.980 change in order to create the scenario that Ben Shapiro wanted.

00:28:24.180 And so the reason I wanted to show you this is not just that Ben Shapiro is lying to its audience.

00:28:27.940 It's not just that he is intentionally obfuscating the causes of this loss and lying to people,

00:28:33.900 not because he doesn't know, but because he's intentionally deceiving people so that he can keep his agenda going.

00:28:41.460 He does not care about the America First agenda.

00:28:43.780 He does not care about conservatives.

00:28:45.700 He has his own political agenda.

00:28:48.740 And you are not allowed to touch it.

00:28:50.680 So he will deliver you any lie he needs to, including burying the most obvious truth about what just happened

00:28:58.260 and pretending like he's delivering accurate political analysis to his audience.

00:29:04.080 But I want to make this point.

00:29:07.560 Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin got everything they wanted out of Donald Trump.

00:29:12.240 they completely derailed the second administration and its objectives and its promises to get the war

00:29:21.800 that mattered to them more than anything mattered more to them than america mattered more to them

00:29:27.480 than success of the conservative movement it mattered more to them than the success of donald

00:29:32.080 trump's agenda or maga the war is all that mattered that's all they cared about and they

00:29:37.840 got it. Donald Trump gave it to them. And here has been Shapiro the day after saying,

00:29:43.900 you know what? Screw Trump. It's his fault. Knifing him in the back. Now, look, I'm not here

00:29:48.860 to make excuses for Trump. He made terrible decisions. Absolutely. But if you're one of

00:29:53.540 the chief architects of that decision, if you're one of the main voices screaming to the heavens

00:29:58.640 for that decision, if you were running around lying to people and telling them that that decision

00:30:03.760 will have no impact on the midterms and the rest of the agenda, then at the very least,

00:30:10.080 you could have the decency and loyalty to not stab Donald Trump in the back after he did what

00:30:15.700 you wanted. Ben got everything. He got everything. And then he just shivs Trump right here. And

00:30:24.480 it's incredible. You think the man would have some level of humility, some level of shame

00:30:31.760 to have compelled this disastrous action to have received exactly what he wanted

00:30:38.000 and then to just turn trump around and just gotcha buddy it was your chaos it was your

00:30:45.580 corruption it wasn't my war just incredible it just just an incredible response but of course

00:30:52.760 ben ben was far from alone that's just the the most notable one so here's some amazing neocon

00:30:58.080 reactions uh so jonah goldberg uh you know disgraced neoconservative once uh wrote about

00:31:03.540 liberal fascism i thank god tp usa mobilized the youth vote alluding to the fact that young white

00:31:09.320 men did not show up for trump the way that they did previously uh one reason could be that jonah

00:31:14.980 spent all his time along with so many other you know guys attacking those people crapping on those

00:31:20.920 people so much of the conservative movement was mocking people for not being able to afford stuff

00:31:25.340 mocking young people saying they're out of work we had sarah huckabee sanders running ads about how

00:31:30.220 young white men are welfare queens we had actual congressional candidates show up and say oh yeah

00:31:36.120 white men are just you know sitting around playing video games all the time right before the election

00:31:40.680 i mean it could have been all that or it could have been the fact that charlie kirk was murdered

00:31:45.160 which of course jonah goldberg knows he knows that charlie kirk was assassinated

00:31:52.740 but he's going to go around and insult tp usa and saying they're not going to do they're not

00:31:57.560 doing a good enough job because it's i guess it's tp usa's job to stop idiots from attacking young

00:32:05.100 white men i mean it's insanity it's it's so it's so brazen i don't even know well it's to say uh

00:32:13.620 let's see we other we had some other fantastic uh responses here uh yeah so uh there were i want

00:32:20.960 to say there are three distinct responses to the midterm debacle by people who had supported the

00:32:28.560 war the first one was the double down and go insane we're going to see plenty of those the

00:32:34.080 second one was the uh well i never really supported the war yeah i went around all the time insulting

00:32:41.800 people lying about them uh tried to purge them from the movement attacking them but one time

00:32:47.140 one time i did go and say that maybe the the war wasn't going to work out and so uh because i said

00:32:53.860 that one time i hedged my bet one time i've always been against the war i don't know why you're

00:32:57.800 blaming me uh i i i said it see there's there's one tweet there's one tweet where i say this this

00:33:03.180 might not this might not go great but uh but i spent all my time attacking everybody who was

00:33:08.580 pointing out that this was going to be a disaster going to cost us everything we had to stop now

00:33:12.120 i you know tried to destroy them um but you know uh i had that one tweet so it's fine and i don't

00:33:17.380 know what you're talking about i've never supported the war you know just it was like

00:33:20.500 covid for uh conservative pundits i don't know what you're talking about i i i wasn't for lockdown

00:33:26.020 i wasn't i wasn't for vaccine mandates i don't know what you mean i wasn't i wasn't running

00:33:31.180 around telling people to get triple vaxxed and wear you know two masks i i never did that i don't

00:33:36.800 i don't know what you're talking about there's a lot of that we'll we'll get into more of that in

00:33:39.960 second and then the last one where there were a few there were a few people who did actually like

00:33:45.220 do a mea culpa and say hey i was wrong and this cost us a lot and i gotta make uh some adjustments

00:33:51.100 so i'll talk about who falls into that category our first one here is like the the neocon double

00:33:56.780 down uh we can see eric metaxas nice enough guy been on eric's show multiple times but he's just

00:34:01.800 lost it when it comes to this issue uh says if you care more about cash prizes than liberty and

00:34:06.160 truth and justice you're part of the problem so even after this massive loss this this like epic

00:34:11.880 loss uh guys like eric are out there blaming you you the voter it's not donald trump's fault for

00:34:17.940 you know disastrous war it's not the fault of uh all of these pundits who uh you know forced us

00:34:24.020 into this insane ideological bubble saying that no one could question trump and what was happening

00:34:29.260 there it wasn't the fact that you were mocking young people for not being able to afford things

00:34:34.000 average americans for not being able to make ends meet no no you're still mocking them if you still

00:34:39.220 care about gas prices well then you don't care about justice or truth and you're part of the

00:34:43.600 problem you've betrayed the country because you don't want to pay six dollars a gallon of gas

00:34:50.640 so that israel can control lebanon and in case you think i'm like overstating that uh check this

00:34:57.300 one out this one is amazing i think this guy this guy used to be like a big deal over bright

00:35:01.200 bart like one of their main editors he's responding to jd vance you know giving his post explaining

00:35:06.280 what happened here and he says support for israel is a moral test the united states stands apart

00:35:11.680 from the world and above it in terms of faith freedom and hope our bond with israel reinforces

00:35:17.560 our exceptionalism abandoning israel would make us more like france and other socialist islamic

00:35:23.440 islamist disasters so if you're not willing to sacrifice the future of the united states

00:35:30.560 explicitly for israel i want to be clear he is not pulling any punches here joel pollock is not

00:35:36.920 pulling any punches he's not hiding the ball he's being extremely specific the war is about israel

00:35:43.180 that's not a conspiracy theory that's not some crazy griper thing that's what joel pollock is

00:35:49.020 saying and if you pull back from the war you are abandoning your commitment to israel and your

00:35:54.820 commitment to israel is what makes you different than muslims or those europeans your commitment

00:36:02.480 to israel is what makes you an american and if you step away from israel then you're just

00:36:09.760 abandoning what it means to be an american what sets you apart from muslims and europeans

00:36:15.980 i mean insane literally insane like this is exactly what george washington worked

00:36:24.460 warned us about like like word for word what he warned us about in his farewell address

00:36:29.780 don't have favored nations do not make these long-term permanent alliances they will make

00:36:36.520 people associate loyalty with your foreign allies to loyalty with america and you will start

00:36:44.880 inviting foreign influence into the united states again this is not crazy nick fuentes stuff this is

00:36:50.380 the first president of the united states in his farewell address that every kid before like 1980

00:36:58.020 or 90 had to read in school and joel pollock is just explaining exactly why that was so critical

00:37:06.880 right but don't worry there are even more insane responses here here's a good old dana loesch

00:37:13.180 She says, well, the foreign op on Iran worked.

00:37:18.640 Great job, Qatari assets.

00:37:20.800 Enjoy your Doha vacation houses.

00:37:24.360 So it was Qatar that made Kansas elect a Democrat for the first time in the Senate since 1932.

00:37:33.820 Qatar did that.

00:37:36.320 Now, I want to make it clear, Dana Loesch is absolutely delusional.

00:37:40.620 like just completely unhinged completely unseparated or completely separated from

00:37:45.920 reality deloche was also said that the iran war had very little to no impact on the election

00:37:53.740 and that everybody who said so was lying because she couldn't read she literally could not read

00:38:00.400 the poll results like she did not understand again been in conservative media for decades

00:38:04.800 and decades cannot read exit polls and she went to the mat like she she wrote like whole articles

00:38:12.140 and she like argued with all kinds of people about how it was just iran was just not a factor

00:38:17.720 and you don't know what you're talking about if you think it was even though it was literally the

00:38:23.640 top issue in the exit poll did not care just so so either can't read like like functionally illiterate

00:38:30.820 or or like entirely to do delusional or like been actively lying to her audience on purpose

00:38:37.460 and of course it was it was qatar but don't worry the conspiracy theories don't stop with qatar

00:38:42.600 there's more there's so much more there's so much more here where where do we put uh the dream team

00:38:47.800 here okay so uh the the brain trust had activated okay the the joel berry james lindsey uh uh uh

00:38:56.220 what's her name, the Barbie, the insurrection Barbie, who's definitely not James Lindsay's

00:39:01.040 sock puppet account. The brain trust activated here, right? And so they started to form this

00:39:07.340 conspiracy theory. What was the conspiracy? What caused this? Was it the war? Was it the gas prices?

00:39:15.440 Was it corruption in the White House? No, no, no, no. Here's the real reason, okay? These guys are

00:39:21.020 going to break it down for you. I hope you're ready for this. Joel Berry, my prediction is that

00:39:25.120 neocons will blame this on the paleocons and the paleocons will blame it on the neocons

00:39:28.700 but the real story here we go here's the deep insight this is why this is why you tune in

00:39:33.640 to a former comedian on this kind of stuff uh but the real story is that a sophisticated

00:39:39.020 foreign demoralization campaign led by the likes of jack poso jack posobic is the most

00:39:45.980 pro-trump human being walking the earth like like it's so funny because jack is like wildly pro-trump

00:39:53.820 and wildly pro

00:39:55.180 the GOP

00:39:56.680 and yet Joel Berry's

00:39:59.400 he was part of a disinformation op

00:40:01.560 why? He can't explain

00:40:02.840 he just knows that Jack talks to people like me

00:40:05.400 I'm on Jack's show all the time I was on there yesterday

00:40:07.100 and so he hates Jack

00:40:08.540 there's no evidence there

00:40:10.400 it's not a rational thought

00:40:11.680 because this is pure emotion

00:40:13.100 this is coming directly from the ovaries

00:40:15.700 and so we get

00:40:17.400 it's Jack Poso, Steve Bannon

00:40:20.040 Dugan

00:40:21.700 Alexander Dugan

00:40:23.820 Alexander Dugan used his magical sorcery powers, his Russian Rasmussen powers, in order to make

00:40:31.860 Kansas vote for a Democrat in the Senate for the first time in 1932.

00:40:38.040 I know Alexander Dugan lost us places like Alabama and Mississippi.

00:40:43.300 Alexander Dugan did that.

00:40:46.560 Now look, you can feel however you want about Dugan.

00:40:48.680 He said some terrible things about America.

00:40:50.460 he has clear hatred for my country me and mine there is no love loss i i respect intellectually

00:40:57.880 a decent amount of his work but as a political ally or actor he's obviously an enemy so like

00:41:05.000 no defense of his positions or his attitudes or his words here but the idea that alexander

00:41:11.040 dugan is like engineering the loss in kansas i the like just the crack has to be everywhere man

00:41:18.340 like you have to be free basic non-stop to get to this direction but don't worry he's not alone

00:41:24.320 james lindsey follows up it's a good day to pay a lot more attention to insurrection barbie who's

00:41:29.100 definitely not my sock puppet account she's been collecting hundreds if it's a she is it ai i know

00:41:34.040 a lot of her posts are ai uh pages of receipts and then we have insurrection barbie here again

00:41:39.580 spouting the dugan nonsense it was it was dugan and it was russia so i'm not even kidding you

00:41:44.900 can't even make this up the incredible like uh nag squad uh like delusional uh containment right

00:41:52.220 brain trust what did they come up with it was russia russia stole the election they really

00:41:59.180 did it they really got they just recreated russiagate for their own little delusional

00:42:05.040 click like their own insane like just bubble of morass like they recreated the entire like we're

00:42:12.480 gonna get we're gonna get um i don't know like like uh p-tape conspiracy theories from joel

00:42:18.540 barry next man we're gonna have james lindsey and insurrection barbie talking about like

00:42:23.040 russian hookers and a p-tape somewhere very soon that's all they've got it's it's incredible it's

00:42:30.040 incredible to watch all right so that that was that was like the general neocon reaction oh

00:42:36.180 sorry, I need to bring you one more. This one actually matters a bit. So this one is Mark

00:42:42.200 Thiessen. Now, Mark Thiessen is an arch neocon. He's a guy who, you know, was a huge, huge

00:42:48.920 proponent of the war. You can see right here, good buddy Sean Davis posts his article. So does

00:42:54.520 Donald Trump Jr. Donald Trump Jr., the son of the president who launched this war. By the way,

00:42:59.680 Donald Trump Jr. has been very outspoken that the war is a mistake. So, you know, kudos to him.

00:43:04.420 that's not an easy thing to say when your dad's the one who you know launched it uh but but he's

00:43:09.000 you know they both post under him here uh his article saying there is no u.s downside to the

00:43:15.580 striking the iranian regime none there's none nothing so mark theseon is one of the biggest

00:43:21.860 proponents of this he's assured the american people there would be no cost he lied to people

00:43:25.640 like donald trump constantly he's another mark levin type character and he writes this article

00:43:30.760 which it's hard not to notice that J.D. Vance here is looking like he's in a rifle scope.

00:43:35.980 Yes, I will imply that Mark Thiessen knows exactly what he's doing there because it's obvious.

00:43:41.380 He says J.D. Vance cannot bring himself to say that Trump made the right decision to disarm

00:43:45.920 Iran because it wasn't, because it was a disaster, because you're literally sitting in the aftermath

00:43:51.000 of that disaster. He has no business seeking the GOP nomination to succeed him. Why? For being right?

00:44:32.820 If he can't endorse Trump's national

00:44:34.640 security policy, Trump should not endorse him.

00:44:37.120 Well, I've got bad news for you.

00:44:38.660 Trump already did. Now, I don't know, man.

00:44:40.460 After this 2026 election,

00:44:42.820 I don't know if I'd want to be the guy in

00:44:44.560 2028. Maybe it's smart for

00:44:46.620 Vance to step aside, let someone else

00:44:48.500 catch that bullet for him. Metaphorically,

00:44:50.760 obviously, given all the

00:44:52.240 geez yeah even even that joke doesn't work anymore but ultimately the point is uh you know you have

00:44:58.420 this scenario where it 2020 it's gonna be a tough year it's gonna be a tough year for Republicans

00:45:03.240 so I don't even know if anybody wants to win that prize as it were when it comes to the presidential

00:45:08.520 nomination but ultimately the point is like obviously being correct about a wrong decision

00:45:14.560 is where you want to be if you're going to run for president and that's exactly what Mark Thiessen is

00:45:20.640 worried about by the way he was on fox news telling all of their views it's fine don't worry

00:45:27.740 you know this isn't why you lost the whole nine yards all the same delusional stuff all right so

00:45:32.300 now i want to talk about some of the other responses uh i told you there were you know

00:45:35.460 that we had the neocon double down we knew that was going to happen these people are like completely

00:45:39.200 soulless they are incapable of shame they will lie they will deceive you at every point they do not

00:45:44.340 care they have no loyalty they'll stab you in the back immediately none of that matters to them

00:45:48.020 uh they they just bloodthirsty they just want more war you know it's it's the it's the holden

00:45:52.300 blood feast meme you know the 95 year old gop senator just one more time just please let me

00:45:56.960 like you know blow up a middle eastern child one more time it's all that matters just one more time

00:46:00.780 before i die like that that's the entire neocom thing right uh but also uh there there were some

00:46:06.720 other responses so the second the second category was kind of that um oh let's see it was kind of

00:46:14.400 that uh what's his name like the like the uh martin captive dreamer that guy uh or uh fugitive

00:46:22.080 caesar like these jokers uh who kind of went around and they were championing the war the

00:46:28.320 entire time they were attacking everybody who was against the war uh they were entirely unhinged

00:46:33.240 uh they were uh you know you're a troon you're a panicking you're a traitor uh you know you should

00:46:37.880 be purged from the party you should be purged from the movement everyone is a loser you're

00:46:41.900 completely delusional you're terminally online uh you're you're irony poison you're a griper

00:46:46.760 uh you love you must love nick uh fuentes like all this all this ridiculous idiotic stuff right

00:46:52.800 and then they turned around today and oh i don't know well i should say there's different responses

00:46:59.140 so like i think the fugitive seizure guy was like i was you know i was wrong and trump betrayed us

00:47:03.760 and like now it's a disaster and like he just blackpilled and shut down you got more and then

00:47:07.500 you got like more of the captive dreamer thing where it's like i i don't know what you're talking

00:47:10.780 about i never supported the war i didn't spend the last year attacking everybody who warned us

00:47:16.560 that this would be a disaster i didn't go around trying to cancel everybody i didn't go around

00:47:20.280 lying about everybody that i could i didn't go around attacking every single human human being

00:47:25.040 who pointed out that this would end up causing exactly the disaster it did in the midterms i

00:47:29.960 didn't do that see here's here's one tweet where i hedged my bets on the iran war so i i said maybe

00:47:36.100 it wouldn't work out so therefore i never supported i don't know what you're talking about this is

00:47:39.580 this is entirely you know i didn't go around telling people that you know with neocons you

00:47:43.720 win i wasn't the one encouraging us to you know lie in bed with these people and you know foment

00:47:49.180 this disaster i never did that i don't know what you're talking about i've been hit on the head

00:47:52.540 i have amnesia concussion it never occurred it's like covet i just never happened i never did that

00:47:58.580 i don't know what you mean and then there was a third category and and look i have some begrudging

00:48:03.620 respect for this so there's guys like will chamberlain and uh pascal goldberry peg on twitter

00:48:10.420 and they're both guys who were wrong about the war and there's just no way around that like both

00:48:16.280 of them were very wrong about the war will especially was like a huge champion for the war

00:48:20.300 he was going and like doing all the debates debating dave smith and all these other people

00:48:24.800 and uh you know really you know bringing the heat and the fire when it comes to the war

00:48:29.160 and uh you know both of them said look we got it wrong you know we were wrong it cost us

00:48:34.340 everything it can't be worth it uh and ultimately you know iran having a nuke is actually less

00:48:39.960 dangerous the united states of america being conquered by communists and so i'm going to

00:48:44.400 care more about the united states than i am about this war and and i will say it's only a half

00:48:49.380 measure because these guys both then turned around and said oh but the rand war is still justified i

00:48:53.080 still was totally right about it being justified but i was just wrong about it having this level

00:48:56.840 negative impact in my calculus about whether it would be worth it is wrong i i think they were

00:49:00.800 wrong about the war too in a material sense about the war in a like moral sense in a in a basically

00:49:07.220 every sense available strategically you know everything uh but at least they admitted they

00:49:13.040 were wrong at some level right like i've i expect more it would be nice to get more but ultimately

00:49:19.040 at least they said hey okay this this trade is not worth it even even if i still believe the iran war

00:49:26.020 is morally justified and strategically advantageous which it absolutely is not it's a total failure

00:49:31.460 but even if i do believe that i do care that america is run by communists now and so actually

00:49:37.040 i'm going to back away from that position too little too late perhaps but ultimately at least

00:49:41.700 that was that was a response that called some that showed some humanity some humility some ability

00:49:47.760 to you know turn things around so i'm you know i like to give people credit to come back to the

00:49:53.180 fold i like to give people credit enough to to return when they admit they're wrong i will not

00:49:59.000 allow them back if they will not admit they're wrong so if you're in the camp that i just never

00:50:02.800 did this i never said this i'm not responsible yeah i i have no time for you and if you're some

00:50:07.940 neocon doubling down i definitely have no time for you but at the very least if you're like okay well

00:50:12.500 i made a mistake and and we could see how you know that played out and i i ultimately think

00:50:19.000 we need to change course because i was wrong okay at least you admitted that you know that

00:50:23.360 it's more than most people will do in that scenario so kudos there i suppose

00:50:27.360 all right so let's take some look uh let's uh take a look at some other developments here uh we had

00:50:38.680 the oh sorry here it is uh we had the big shake-ups the big shake-ups in personnel so

00:50:50.960 this is Donald Trump announcing uh that uh that Susie Wiles is going to be stepping down and

00:50:56.920 Stephen Miller is going to be stepping up as the chief of staff for the White House um now

00:51:03.720 there's a lot going on here uh first we started to see the exodus from the white house right after

00:51:09.180 the midterm loss uh harme billen uh in the civil rights division announced her resignation uh

00:51:15.060 there's a lot of rumors going around that marco rubio is going to step down that's not confirmed

00:51:18.820 yet he has not said anything so that's speculation rumor but they're out there uh the the other big

00:51:24.920 change that absolutely had to come was this because we started to get reporting and again

00:51:30.500 this is a new york times thing so you know it it seemed pretty well sourced but i'm never going to

00:51:36.060 just take that on face value so grain of salt new york times could be lying you know they hate trump

00:51:41.000 obviously they want the chaos so uh you know but they they did report uh that suzy wiles was

00:51:48.080 basically telling trump to ignore steven miller tone him down get him under control walk away

00:51:54.060 from the deportation stuff like that a lot of that pressure was coming from uh from suzy wiles

00:52:00.200 so Stephen Miller uh is obviously and I go I know some people are you know still doubtful but

00:52:07.020 honestly I think Stephen Miller really is extremely anti-immigration I see no reason to

00:52:12.020 doubt his commitment to that he seems like like the most driven soldier on this and so I'm sorry

00:52:18.100 but I'm excited that he'll be in that position now the problem of course is this is just a

00:52:23.780 personnel shakeup what really matters is action okay so i'm glad this is happening i i support

00:52:30.100 steven miller i think he's going to do the right thing if he's given the option i think he certainly

00:52:34.180 has the right motivations however this is just an appointment it is not action and we've seen

00:52:40.220 that having people who should be doing the right thing in positions doesn't always make them happen

00:52:45.240 so i'm glad this happened but no credit comes here okay they get they don't get any points for this

00:52:51.820 they get points the minute steven miller starts emptying out my walmart they get they get points

00:52:57.340 the minute that steven miller cleans out your costco they get points the minute that we see

00:53:03.260 true mass deportations but until then it's just an appointment so again if you wanted to take a

00:53:11.240 step in the right direction after a disastrous loss this is the right step but until something

00:53:18.720 is actually done with this until this bears real tangible fruit you're not going to win back the

00:53:23.160 trust of your base you're not going to add energize your base and you're not going to win back the

00:53:27.140 trust of the general american voters who would have supported you because remember immigration

00:53:32.820 was the only thing that people turned out for for trump when you look at the exit polls the only

00:53:38.140 thing that people trusted trump on that that they were motivated to come out and vote on was

00:53:42.720 immigration our base still wants immigration to end they still want deportations they still want

00:53:48.900 the end of illegal immigration and the radical curtailing of legal immigration they still want

00:53:54.640 all these things so anyone telling you and the neocons are doing this they're already pushing

00:53:59.000 we need amnesty we need to you know dial down the it was the ice raids it was the whatever

00:54:03.920 they're selling that narrative garbage garbage we can look at the data it's lies lies lies lies

00:54:09.460 the truth is that immigration is still the number one winning issue for the trump administration

00:54:14.080 and so having steven miller in that position and actually doing something matters a lot

00:54:20.840 but there's something else we have to talk about if we're just honest uh donald trump is in a

00:54:25.380 position where it might just not matter you know the the administration probably just won't be able

00:54:30.340 to get stuff done you're gonna have the democrats controlling the entirety of congress they're gonna

00:54:36.000 control the House and the Senate. They're going to bring investigations. They're going to bring

00:54:39.440 subpoenas. They've already been promising it. They're salivating day one. They're talking about

00:54:44.120 how they can reinstate the temporary protective status of Haitians. So they're bringing it all

00:54:49.900 back. Democrats couldn't even wait until the end of the week. They're already talking about how

00:54:53.600 they're going to open the borders and fill your entire neighborhood with Haitians. And they're

00:55:00.400 going to just prosecute the entire Trump administration. They were talking about it

00:55:04.180 before and they certainly haven't stopped since they won uh and so will trump be able to do

00:55:08.900 anything and most importantly is the stink of failure on him right like this is a huge huge

00:55:16.820 devastating defeat and trump has not really reacted very well his first response after this

00:55:22.800 was i would have done the iran war again anyway after that he went and talked about the money he

00:55:27.820 was spending on the ballroom and uh then he's holding a diwali festival today so in case you're

00:55:36.500 not aware this is like basically h1b christmas right it's like an indian holiday so trump is

00:55:42.060 observing an indian holiday two days after his loss where people felt like they were betrayed

00:55:47.300 on immigration not great not great man like i don't know what to tell you i don't know what to

00:55:54.140 tell you, it's crazy. And I was on Charlie Kirk's show yesterday. I was on with Andrew and Blake

00:56:03.560 and the two POSA guys. Love those guys. But I was talking to them and we were breaking down

00:56:09.640 the post-election analysis. And I said, they were talking about the demographics and who voted for

00:56:13.840 Trump. Trump did all these things for Jewish voters. He did the anti-Semitism task force.

00:56:19.300 He pressured, you know, all these Ivy League universities, got people fired, threatened to get rid of funding.

00:56:28.000 He literally went to war that benefited Israel.

00:56:32.700 And ultimately, Jewish voters had higher favorable ratings of Zorah Mamdani.

00:56:38.840 So they voted for the Muslim.

00:56:41.720 They supported the Muslim.

00:56:43.400 The dangerous Muslim that's going to come in and do a heckin' crystal knock.

00:56:48.400 like they they supported him over the guy who literally been been backwards to do everything

00:56:57.160 he could for them and again same with indians you know same same thing they're just overwhelming

00:57:02.140 democratic support so i was talking to tp usa guys about this i say look the truth is that

00:57:07.500 conservatives are just radical progressives on this issue uh they're just radical progressives

00:57:13.020 They will believe that votes from minorities are somehow holier than votes from white people.

00:57:20.660 Like they really believe that they think white people, their votes, they're like like disgusting.

00:57:25.540 Like, of course, you kind of need them. But, you know, really, I mean, you should feel terrible about you feel like eating a McDonald's hamburger.

00:57:30.880 Like maybe you were starving, you were hungry and you needed it, but you feel gross after like that.

00:57:35.360 That's that's how the GOP treats white votes.

00:57:38.720 and so they will always and everywhere sacrifice the priorities and votes of white people for

00:57:45.540 minority votes even though they'll never get them you're never going to win the jewish vote

00:57:49.120 you're never going to win the black vote you're never going to win the indian vote come with come

00:57:53.020 with me conservative i will grab you by the collar and shake you until you understand this

00:57:57.100 you are never going to win the black vote you are never going to win the indian vote you are

00:58:03.180 never going to win the Jewish vote. It's not going to happen. They don't like you. They're

00:58:09.460 not going to vote for you. And if you import more of them, you'll import more people who vote for

00:58:14.160 the other guy. This is never going to work for you, ever. This is a failed strategy. There is

00:58:22.840 no secret conservative, natural conservative minority that you can import out there. It does

00:58:28.640 not exist it's never going to happen so you're just gonna have to get white votes i know i know

00:58:37.380 we're terrible people we have all that you know icky systemic racism that you pretend you don't

00:58:47.300 believe in but you actually do we're all low status because we don't have like the colors

00:58:52.740 a Benetton ad, but I'm sorry. You're just going to have to win like people in rural Alabama and

00:58:59.420 Tennessee and Arkansas and that stuff, man. I'm sorry. I know this is just terrible for you at

00:59:05.080 cocktail parties. I know you don't get to talk about all the outreach you're doing to those

00:59:10.020 ethnic communities that are so much cooler than me and mine, but you're just going to have to get

00:59:15.780 white votes. Sorry. Like that's the future. That's how it works. It doesn't work any other

00:59:22.400 way and it's funny because like the two PSA guys were like look look I know that we had done that

00:59:26.940 previously but like I think the GOP's learned its lesson it's getting better and then you know

00:59:31.600 two days after Vivek Ramaswamy nose bombs or nose dives as the DEI candidate in Ohio Donald Trump

00:59:38.360 is still running like you know hosting you know events for foreign holidays Indian holidays I mean

00:59:45.260 what else can you say on that issue right all right so one more thing before I know we're

00:59:51.820 stacking up just tons of super chats so i want to talk about one more thing before we get to that

00:59:56.240 um so eric prince said this right eric prince in case you don't know like ran blackwater still

01:00:02.960 runs blackwater i guess uh you know like uh you know a warlord in the very real sense you know

01:00:08.340 the kind of guy who routinely pays large amounts of money to men who you know are willing and able

01:00:13.900 to murder people at a moment's notice and eric prince said debate the illegals and debate those

01:00:21.240 who employ them the problems will be solved quickly and with significantly less drama

01:00:25.640 so like this is obvious uh this is obvious i've been saying this for a long time but the reason

01:00:32.220 that i never really like put full court press on this was obviously uh everyone knows this is the

01:00:38.720 real answer okay so we can we can say this what eric prince is saying is absolutely true debank

01:00:43.720 the illegals and debank those who employ them and it's done it's all done if you just do that

01:00:48.000 everyone knows that's the answer everybody knows it's the answer donald trump knows it's the

01:00:52.600 answer steven miller knows it's the answer jd vance knows it's the answer eric prince knows

01:00:56.140 it's the answer every single gop member every republican every democrat everybody knows this

01:01:02.200 is the answer the mass deportations the physical mass deportations they're going to be necessary

01:01:07.700 in certain scenarios you do need to actually get like the rapists and the murderers out of your

01:01:12.280 country, but really the goal, if you want to move, you know, not two or 3 million people, but

01:01:18.340 10 or 15 million people out of the country who should not be here. If you want to actually have

01:01:23.680 some prayer of at least getting the 8 million plus people that Biden led in out of the country,

01:01:29.460 then the only way to do it is self-deportation. You make it as hard as possible for people

01:01:34.920 who want to live here illegally to live here it's really just that simple everybody knows that if

01:01:43.220 you cut off the employment and you make it very difficult for illegals to financially transact

01:01:47.880 in the united states they will go home everybody knows it every single pro and anti-immigration

01:01:56.020 person understands this so eric prince is not telling you anything crazy he didn't just come

01:02:01.780 up with this insane idea that no one in the administration had ever thought of but we do

01:02:06.340 now we have to answer this question okay why aren't we doing this now we have to answer this

01:02:12.540 question if you're in the administration and listening to this please hear this part the most

01:02:18.420 if you have any influence if you're in a republican staff or office if you just like

01:02:24.380 calling your congressman on a regular basis because you're one of those guys god bless you

01:02:28.500 then ask them this question why aren't we debanking illegals and why aren't we debanking

01:02:34.320 their employers now i know the answer to this question so it's a rhetorical question to be sure

01:02:40.060 the answer to this question is that all of our politicians are bought and paid for

01:02:46.340 by big money donors who make a lot from illegals and it's not just the cheap labor everybody goes

01:02:52.900 directly to cheap labor and it's true of course you know places like walmart thrive on the fact

01:02:57.600 that they're hiring definitely legal guys because they have a fake social security number uh you

01:03:02.760 know they're they're uh we're definitely hiring those people um and then expecting the state to

01:03:07.880 actually subsidize their employment by paying them food stamps and everything else because

01:03:11.240 we didn't even pay them a wage uh but yeah it's it's true that the the cheap labor is a big deal

01:03:16.780 but you also have to remember that those companies are relying on those people for consumption as

01:03:21.800 well i don't know if you've been to a walmart lately uh but it's not just the employees who

01:03:26.960 only speak Spanish. It's also the customers. If you raided my Walmart tomorrow, half of those

01:03:35.580 people at minimum would be deported. I promise. So it's not just the workers, it's also the

01:03:44.500 consumers. A lot of the rich donors need the illegals because they are extra consumers.

01:03:50.520 If you suddenly cut the consumer base in the United States by 15 million people,

01:03:54.680 well then all of a sudden those those bottom lines go down real quick we go from black to red

01:04:03.620 very quickly many retailers are going to feel that hit really powerfully especially the ones

01:04:10.820 that cater to low-end people like a walmart or a dollar general or something like that

01:04:15.780 so they have a big interest not just keeping the cheap labor flowing but also keeping the

01:04:21.540 mass consumption coming from illegals and so it's very clear that it is the business interests and

01:04:28.800 the donors and the fact that these people own all of our politicians i'm not just saying like oh well

01:04:33.180 they must own trump or something maybe they do maybe they don't i don't think particularly trump

01:04:36.820 should be more vulnerable to that because you know he obviously didn't in theory need the money

01:04:42.700 uh but it's very clear that they own our congress and our senate like it's very clear that those

01:04:48.400 politicians are entirely bought and paid for by those interests and have no principle uh when it

01:04:52.900 comes to this stuff and so i'm very sure that the trump administration was entirely aware that this

01:04:57.580 was the solution and when they put it on the table everybody said absolutely not and if you try it

01:05:02.580 we'll just lock it up we'll completely shut down your government we'll shut off the flow of money

01:05:06.940 we'll completely wreck all of your congressional races and your senate races which ended up

01:05:11.180 happening anyway but uh you know we'll do all that stuff we'll just blow up the party i'm sure that's

01:05:16.340 why. And so I don't ask this question to the Trump administration. I don't say they shouldn't

01:05:22.500 answer this question because I don't know the answer. But it's time to be honest with the

01:05:27.200 American people. It's just time to tell them the truth. The truth is you don't have the power to

01:05:32.780 do this because our Congress is bought and sold. Just tell them. Just tell them. This is the answer.

01:05:40.540 This is the easy answer to the immigration question. Everybody knows it is. The fact that

01:05:45.680 you're not doing it is obvious. So just tell us why. Just be honest. Just say it. I know there's

01:05:51.980 some worry that this will make them look weak. This will make them look like they are in control.

01:05:56.020 Well, you are in control. You are in control. Obviously, if you were in control, we'd have

01:06:00.080 mass deportations. You are not in control. So just tell us why. If you were in control,

01:06:07.220 if you could really do this, then it would be done and your promise would have been kept.

01:06:11.340 but it's not done and your promise isn't kept so just tell us why just explain it's okay it's all

01:06:17.800 right the american people need to hear it they need to hear that the election doesn't change

01:06:21.320 who's in charge they need to know they need to know so just tell them it won't make you look

01:06:27.440 weak it'll make you look strong it'll make you look like you're actually clearing out the swamp

01:06:31.580 it'll make you actually look like you're taking out the trash and in this environment where it

01:06:36.120 looks like a lot of people now believe that but donald trump is entirely in the throes of uh you

01:06:42.880 know interested parties now is a great time to make it clear actually you are willing to break

01:06:47.200 from the powers that be you're willing to go out there and tell the hard truth

01:06:50.840 you're willing to name names tell us exactly who is stopping this somebody's obviously stopping it

01:06:57.860 so tell us who who is it why won't we do this eric prince did not reinvent the wheel here he just

01:07:04.780 state the obvious so why aren't we doing the obvious that's what everybody wants to know

01:07:09.340 and i think if you got steven miller and you're going to tell me the truth about what's going on

01:07:14.780 with deportations and why we aren't doing the most maximally effective thing to make it happen

01:07:19.640 that's going to go a lot a long way to winning back my trust and i think winning back the trust

01:07:24.200 of the american people but you have to have the courage to do it even if even if you're worried

01:07:29.900 in the moment that it might make you look less powerful just tell people the truth man just be

01:07:34.080 honest. It'll make a big difference. All right, let's go to the questions of the people real

01:07:39.040 quick. Let's see here. Cherry Coke Nixon says, my Lib Boomer parents have no idea about the H1B

01:07:48.300 scam. They think they're just smarter than us. Emerson now doesn't even discuss the job situation.

01:07:54.340 I mean, if your parents are watching Emerson now, then I, sorry, brother, I can't help you.

01:07:58.060 your problems run much deeper uh but yeah i mean ultimately obviously uh you just can't you can't

01:08:04.920 explain per capita to certain populations and you cannot explain inflation or immigration to boomers

01:08:11.900 when it comes to the job situations of their children they just they can't hear you it doesn't

01:08:17.960 it doesn't make sense to them they they don't understand as i it's it seems almost impossible

01:08:24.540 but yeah just no matter how many times i've had this conversation with people i mean don't get

01:08:28.960 me wrong there are good boomers who do understand this but like for the majority of them your

01:08:32.620 characterization is correct you simply can't explain this fact to them and i'm sorry but

01:08:36.580 i don't think that's changing

01:08:37.660 nixon also says uh we lost the midterms over iran at israel's insistence and now we find out 67 percent

01:08:47.260 of jews voted for muslims uh or voted with muslims 85 percent uh for el saeed dims i feel betrayed

01:08:53.560 you should you should and then we should stop pursuing this vote again it's not just you know

01:09:00.040 jewish voters it's black voters it's indian voters they're never voting for you they're never voting

01:09:05.760 for you so just stop trying to win them over that's really all i have to say about it anymore

01:09:10.580 if you continue to try to win these groups over you will fail and they will continue to vote for

01:09:16.140 someone else they don't care you can literally give them everything they ever wanted and they

01:09:20.860 will not vote for you the end uh michael robertson the midterms were exciting uh but now all the

01:09:29.780 interesting polymetic bets are are over now all i see is how far does will chamberlain move the

01:09:36.120 goalpost after his latest failed prediction tough out there again you know will was very wrong about

01:09:42.940 the uh the war but at least at least he did say that he was wrong about it at least electorally

01:09:47.920 uh so that's something uh but yeah i mean i'm just glad i'm just hoping i get less poly market ads

01:09:53.180 on things uh man i i hate uh online betting i refuse to do ads for it i refuse to engage in it

01:09:59.900 uh so uh hopefully i just see less of that uh freelancer you says i will say it again they

01:10:06.780 threw it on purpose no other explanation they knew the messaging was bad they knew people can

01:10:11.300 can't afford groceries housing gas they don't care they hate their own people uh so this is true of

01:10:17.000 some people uh i think the neocons definitely understood this most of them i think many of them

01:10:22.540 were counting on this they were counting on the election to go poorly so that they could now make

01:10:26.800 their case to retake the party that's why you're seeing guys like uh mark theason come out and say

01:10:31.800 hey we need to get rid of jd vance because he always wanted to get rid of jd vance he always

01:10:35.960 saw him as the successor to maga and he wanted to hijack the party and take it back for the neocons

01:10:40.300 i do think there are other people i don't think joel barry knows this

01:10:43.860 i i think joel barry is a true believer i think he really is just so

01:10:50.380 incensed and so like locked into his own political battles and like just has put himself in such a

01:10:58.100 bubble to his own narrative that it's impossible for him i like i don't i don't think he knew any

01:11:02.320 of this i don't think he was trying to throw it i i think he just has completely sold himself a

01:11:07.820 world that does not exist so i think the answer here is both and um you know there are nefarious

01:11:12.680 actors who i think understood this entirely and then there are others that i think are just you

01:11:16.940 know not as soon political observers or so bought in on their own narrative and hatred that they

01:11:22.140 can't possibly hear anything nixon says beau fringe is the model for victory miller should have seen

01:11:28.280 cos on day one boomer uh boomer wiles is uh out uh thank god refined populist monologue must be

01:11:35.780 the north star yeah uh that refined populist monologue is just chef's kiss by the way read

01:11:40.760 that out on the last show if you didn't catch it i like read it out in its totality because it was

01:11:44.520 so good by the way uh it was funny because like uh dinesh d'Souza came in and told him how great

01:11:49.220 it was and how important it was and then uh to his incredible credit refined populace was like

01:11:54.360 thank you very much very kind words this is your fault you're the guy who did this so um you know

01:12:00.760 point points to that guy uh very uh you know uh not not not uh fainting when when the moment came

01:12:07.020 definitely brought the heat. Your favorite Starbucks flavor is coming home. Introducing

01:12:38.220 store today uh cherry coke nixon says daily wire shuck and jive equals next weekly standard uh bye

01:12:45.840 uh i mean you know rough time to be at the daily wire i'll leave that there uh nixon says we are

01:12:51.960 securing the street of your muse while dims now govern our entire southern border what could go

01:12:56.860 wrong. Houston, uh, now ending ice operations. Awful. Yeah. We, we sacrificed deportations for

01:13:02.540 the war. Again, I had so many people tell me, Oh, that's crazy. That's stupid. Why are you saying

01:13:06.360 that? Uh, cause it was obvious. I mean, even if you're, even if you're going to lie to me and you

01:13:10.200 are lying to me, if you tell me that we didn't slow down deportations, uh, after, uh, the whole

01:13:15.320 debacle in Minnesota, uh, that the war, uh, did not steal large amounts of our political capital

01:13:21.160 and make it difficult to secure victory in the way that we needed it. You're lying if you say

01:13:24.700 that but even if you actually believe that somehow um obviously once the dims win then our

01:13:31.220 enforcement does especially when they went on the state level a state like texas

01:13:34.460 where like having the cooperation of the local government is critical

01:13:39.100 to active deportation elements but whatever right like who cares as long as long as we're

01:13:46.460 battling for control of something that was open before we started the war it's all that matters

01:13:50.780 i guess uh bram zwingle says decent producer todd is absolutely losing it on x i have not seen what

01:13:57.980 todd is saying so i do not know i like todd todd is a good guy had a good conversation with him

01:14:02.700 while i was in dallas but i really just don't know what he's been up to on the twitter uh

01:14:08.220 sean wyland says gop put heritage american men in the friend zone yeah 100 100 that's yeah no more

01:14:15.800 to add that perfect perfectly concise and correct j6 2.0 says uh voters hate both parties so they're

01:14:22.380 going to swing the pendulum both ways so aggressively until it breaks just don't be

01:14:26.460 losing party when it does yes perfect exactly correct you are a better political analyst than

01:14:32.260 ben shapiro congratulations drink to you yeah that's 100 the correct understanding okay uh people

01:14:41.200 are so fed up with both parties and so fed up the system they only care if you're interested in

01:14:45.500 breaking the system is what rich bearers talks about what i've talked about that's what young

01:14:51.200 people want that's what even middle-aged people want at this point you've created a system that

01:14:58.040 obviously isn't working both the parties are deeply corrupt and do not care about the country

01:15:02.720 and so people are just like if you're trump and you say you're gonna break the system i'm voting

01:15:07.300 trump if you're mom donnie and you say you're gonna break the system i'm voting mom donnie

01:15:11.520 they don't care they're not they're not communist they're not fascist they're not

01:15:19.060 radical in either direction they're radical in all directions that's what you have to understand

01:15:25.040 and you can be angry about that as a conservative i get it but like that's where you're at and

01:15:30.160 you're there because we manufactured this position we didn't get here from nowhere

01:15:34.640 we didn't suddenly you didn't magically wake up one day and your kids loved socialism

01:15:38.940 is one of joel barry's arguments he was saying oh white men lost this for the republican party

01:15:44.640 white men who did this white young man and they did it specifically because they were poisoned by

01:15:49.180 tucker carlson and nick fuentes it wasn't that joel barry told all these guys to go pound sand

01:15:55.020 it wasn't that joel barry told him that he hated them it's not that he told them that they should

01:15:58.120 starve or eat beans for the rest of their life and never have kids or a home no no no it's because

01:16:05.120 tucker carlson or nick fuentes told him like again i think there are bad actors out there

01:16:10.800 i certainly would not tell anyone to vote democrat for any reason but like just delusional just

01:16:17.000 delusional bobby bob the nabob says cool your uh cool you've partnered with passage the atlantic

01:16:24.420 just released an article about how boys don't read and just on boy books like hatchet i'm sure

01:16:29.520 they did but the good news is like i said uh passage does uh put out a lot of great work i've

01:16:34.500 read, uh, a number from a number of passage books on this very show. I went through, um, a lot of

01:16:40.460 Xeno systems on the show, Nick land. So obviously they're putting out books that no one else does.

01:16:44.760 You know, they've got Steve sailor, uh, and his book, uh, they've got, um, uh, data Republicans

01:16:51.800 new book. Uh, so yeah, lots of good stuff out there. Uh, Ian Briggs says, uh, Ben vague posting

01:16:58.740 king shapiro uh gestalt chaos did this yeah yeah i really again so ugly man like just so treacherous

01:17:06.960 to like compel this terrible move from trump and then to just shiv him again i don't like that

01:17:13.740 trump did this but like if you're the guy who sold him on it at least have the decency to not

01:17:18.840 stab him on the way down man like that's so oh man it's gross uh wineland says uh post materialism

01:17:26.440 equals taking affordability for granted uh yeah yeah yeah let's see here uh j6 2.0 says surprise

01:17:35.920 surprise half truth ben uh who gave half a story half the no hide laws is now giving half story

01:17:42.180 about the midterms uh yeah i saw people talking about him talking about the no hide laws i i don't

01:17:46.720 know i didn't really pay attention to that scandal or do i care really particularly but uh obviously

01:17:53.080 like he's lying about the midterms and he's doing knowingly like he had he knows like he knows he

01:17:58.080 knows he knows he knows uh so like i'm sorry i just no respect i'm not going to pull my punches

01:18:02.700 on this guy like just absolute garbage it gets insane uh nixon says qatari money doing it for

01:18:10.100 the shekels how about we focus on our homeland for a change sick of the desert our hemisphere

01:18:14.500 and europe only yeah 100 percent uh look i i um i think that money plays a part in politics i think

01:18:22.200 people are motivated by it i'm not gonna lie about it i know specifically people who have taken

01:18:26.960 giant multi-million dollar paydays from foreign countries uh you know uh and and you know even

01:18:32.780 the trump administration has talked about uh people who have done that i'll let you go back

01:18:36.580 and look at my previous episodes for that one uh but ultimately uh i think it's just it makes it

01:18:43.600 impossible to do politics in the united states if we're talking about how everybody's bought and

01:18:47.340 sold even if it's true like ultimately we have to talk about what we're doing here and if we

01:18:52.460 attribute everybody's motives to being bought by some foreign power then we just can't talk about

01:18:57.220 anything so like i don't think i don't think israel has to spend a single dollar to get like

01:19:04.000 mark levin or ben shapiro to care about them like i you know maybe they are making money off that but

01:19:09.800 i don't think anyone has to pay joel barry to believe what he believes and i know for sure that

01:19:14.500 you know, Qatar or Israel or whoever's accusing me of buying me this week is not paying me either.

01:19:19.900 I have talked, I have been offered, I've been offered paid trips and funds and other things

01:19:26.080 from multiple countries, including by the way, Israel and, uh, Hungary. And I've turned them

01:19:32.160 all down. It's not that hard. You just say no. Uh, Cherry Coke Nixon says biggest 26, uh,

01:19:39.760 takeaway is that we must be tribal too i mean look that's going to happen either way i know that a lot

01:19:46.460 of conservatives are very worried about this this has been like the big boogeyman in the room but

01:19:50.940 you know it is what it is you you can't you can't watch you can't import a bunch of people who

01:19:55.760 believe deeply in tribal politics you know you bring in the indians you bring in the muslims

01:20:00.080 all these other groups you have them come in and then you expect you know everybody else to play

01:20:05.500 by a different set of rules that's just not going to work long term eventually people are going to

01:20:09.560 figure out the advantage of working as a tribe because it's working it's the thing that is

01:20:14.060 winning in america and people are not going to be ultimately denied the winning strategy forever

01:20:20.240 if you don't want this to be the winning strategy you shouldn't important people

01:20:23.560 who believed in it but you did so here we are blaming the people who are responding to the

01:20:30.340 incentives you created is stupid ian briggs says the apa should add a new mental disorder

01:20:36.100 Groper psychosis psychosis that's becoming increasingly common on x i i have this theory

01:20:41.320 man i really do that like some of the most deranged people you've seen

01:20:44.440 like the joel barry's and the james lindsey's they really have just been driven mad by like

01:20:50.580 staring into the void of gropers it's like the nietzschean you like you you stare in the void

01:20:55.040 it stares back at you like like just you know interacting with gropers on a day-to-day basis

01:21:00.220 has driven them to this place i think that is a real thing nixon says tiktok captured a

01:21:05.600 generation of yt girls now what oh that's a good question man and i don't know i don't know like

01:21:13.560 how do you how do you get anybody out of the algorithm i mean of course it affects all of us

01:21:18.320 i'm sure it affects me but it really affects young women i really they they it completely

01:21:24.360 brainwashes them and uh i don't know what the answer to that is i i really don't i mean you

01:21:30.700 know return to monkey smash the phone you know uh that that's all that's all most people come

01:21:38.120 up with but that's probably not going to work i don't see us all becoming luddites but it's not

01:21:41.980 an easy question to solve nixon says uh whenever a senator uh blood feast passes uh the seat goes

01:21:50.680 to his uh progressive daughter or kowski who wins uh or neocon sister graham who loses i was going

01:21:57.040 to say yeah it doesn't always win we just saw a neocon uh succession lose there uh but you know

01:22:02.260 of course then it goes to the democrats so not doing much better jacob zindell says i just watched

01:22:07.360 a tech right vtuber say that uh we just didn't bomb iran hard enough bro it would have been over

01:22:13.940 in a month and voters would have loved it if only tucker carlos wasn't holding us back yeah i mean

01:22:18.940 you know that that line is insane uh again it comes from people who just have no clue pay no

01:22:23.740 attention to warfare have never read or you know been involved with any kind of war strategy um

01:22:31.060 sorry but boots on the ground or how you ultimately secure uh regime change that's that's how you win

01:22:36.780 those wars uh and we weren't going to do it so like i said the war was lost from the beginning

01:22:40.920 you could have bombed them forever short of nukes you know you could nuke them but everybody mocked

01:22:45.900 tucker carlson for implying that they might but short of nukes there's really no other way to do

01:22:49.780 it florida henry says kansas and iowa both over 80 percent white farming states and flipped left

01:22:56.580 conservatism just over uh no i mean it's never i mean because remember all these people were

01:23:02.340 running away from the democrats so just remember guys that like the average voter is not this

01:23:07.840 highly intellectualized heidi highly ideological actor who like consistently performs he just kind

01:23:16.260 to do vibes like elections or vibes no matter how much people don't like that it's just the truth

01:23:20.720 you know it's how you're feeling that day how's your wallet hitting you you know what did you see

01:23:25.460 on the news um i don't think it's over but i do think you know you need to take serious stock when

01:23:30.800 you lose this badly and if you run around saying we did nothing wrong and the voters were the ones

01:23:34.560 who screwed this up or a podcaster but if you can be beaten by candace owens with a microphone you

01:23:40.000 deserve to lose if tucker carlson can defeat you with a microphone if nick fuentes can defeat you

01:23:45.760 behind like 17 bannings on 15 on 70 different platforms if he can beat you with a microphone

01:23:52.300 you deserve to lose uh joe mcdermott says uh is an is a neocon excite excised maga a campaign

01:24:01.040 possibility for 2028 i wonder if that campaign can peel away the normal uh remnants of blue

01:24:08.260 coalition turned off by the dsa and welfare frauds types uh as a replacement possible possible you

01:24:14.800 probably won't call it mag anymore i think that band that brand might have been too damaged and

01:24:19.640 too closely associated with trump if trump had you know had a strong second turn and you know

01:24:24.440 kind of rode off into sunset reagan style i think he would like have determined the political future

01:24:29.100 and maga would have been the brand going forward for decades uh but he didn't do that and now it's

01:24:34.880 kind of fruit of the poison tree but i don't i think a similar coalition can be reassembled

01:24:39.340 he also says we can only have economic hardship for the sake of iran war not debaking illegals

01:24:45.740 economic hardship to correct our economy and future civilization are you sane or something

01:24:50.480 yeah this is exactly it man this is the whole thing you have a finite amount of political capital

01:24:54.900 and when you have a big victory like trump had in 2024 like a landslide uh then you get a lot

01:25:02.060 more political capital and you could spend a lot of it before people uh feel the pain you're allowed

01:25:07.180 to do things that might hurt people because ultimately they believe in you and they believe

01:25:11.380 in the message and they're committed to you and they're willing to make that sacrifice but when

01:25:15.180 you spend that political capital it's gone forever and the faster you spend it the closer you get to

01:25:20.740 the point where people are stop willing to be able to sacrifice are unwilling to make those kinds of

01:25:26.460 changes and will hurt you if you continue to push and we spent all the political capital on the war

01:25:32.080 we spent all the political capital on other things so if we had spent the political capital

01:25:37.380 on deportations if we had powered through when it looked bad if we had stayed out of iran if we

01:25:43.720 decided not to just go on these foreign adventures and we had focused then yeah we still would have

01:25:48.280 felt pain but at least we'd have 10 million deportations to show for it at least we would

01:25:53.120 have debanked people and you know driven them out at least we would have punished the left

01:25:56.180 remember still no punishment for the death of charlie kirk still no real uh action on

01:26:03.340 voucher or the covid regime like we didn't spend political capital on any of that stuff
