In this episode, Oren talks about the latest in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and the immigration reform efforts of the Trump administration, including a possible deal to bring back millions of illegal immigrants who have been deported since the early 2000s.
00:01:00.000I'm a little sick, but I think we can probably make it through this one together.
00:01:05.020So obviously a lot of huge news has come out.
00:01:09.820The number one thing that most people are currently focused on is the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
00:01:17.420We have heard over and over again from people in the Trump administration, Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, that there are documents, that they have evidence, that we are going to know what happened, that the secrets will finally be revealed.
00:02:03.540And by the way, so are Pam Bondi and Kash Patel.
00:02:06.620We'll be running down a number of videos of these guys before they were in the administration and once they were in the administration saying very specifically that they have this evidence, that they will be letting the truth come out.
00:02:21.620And it's just kind of amazing that we're seeing this.
00:02:33.560One of the things, you know, he said over and over again, I'm going to staple diploma or, you know, green cards to diplomas, that kind of thing.
00:02:40.440Donald Trump, you know, I think the old saying is take him seriously, but not literally.
00:02:45.060And I think generally that's good advice with Donald Trump.
00:02:47.760However, one of the things that Donald Trump has said repeatedly is that he now in the last, you know, few weeks and maybe even months is that he has been talking to farmers and different people running hotels, hospitality, these kind of things, and that the foreign workers they have are just critical.
00:03:10.040And so we have to find some way to bring them back in.
00:03:13.280And we have to find some way to basically give them amnesty because they happen to be in these different areas.
00:03:19.680Now, again, Donald Trump just talks quite a bit.
00:03:29.320So you don't want to panic every time he does.
00:03:31.920However, Charlie Kirk today has started to report that he is hearing that there are there's a big push for Donald Trump to do a bipartisan amnesty deal over these farm workers and these hospitality workers.
00:03:52.220And, you know, this obviously comes on the heel of the on the of the big funding bill for deportations, for ICE, giving them a military style budget.
00:04:02.400And the reason people promoted that was to get this job done.
00:04:06.920Obviously, this included all of the people who were here illegally.
00:04:10.500There was never some idea that this only applied to, like, the gangbangers or something you understand going after them first.
00:04:19.980They're the easiest to justify publicly in the in the realm of public opinion.
00:04:24.440I have spoken repeatedly that I think the strategy was a good one to start in this manner.
00:04:28.540But the fear is always that it would stop there, that there would be some justification as to why we wouldn't end up getting rid of the people who were not supposed to be here.
00:04:40.000We would come up with some excuse as to why we couldn't actually carry out the full deportations.
00:04:44.640And the fact, again, this would be less concerning if Trump had not mentioned this multiple times.
00:04:49.500Now, one of the good news things about Charlie Kirk is he's well plugged in to the Trump White House.
00:04:55.040He's obviously got a lot of influence.
00:04:59.100No matter how you feel about him, he has a lot of sway.
00:05:01.340And I think he's been doing some really good work on several issues.
00:05:04.500Again, it's not been perfect, but he's come a long way in the last little bit.
00:05:08.780And it's very clear that one of the reasons Charlie Kirk is reporting this is he is worried that Trump is actually being wooed.
00:05:15.600If he didn't, you know, it's obvious that these people would be talking to Trump.
00:05:19.220They, of course, are going to push for these things.
00:05:21.480You know, that's not news that they would be lobbying Trump for this stuff.
00:05:25.000But it would be news if Charlie Kirk is talking about it because he's perfectly aware of the dynamic.
00:05:30.380And I don't think he'd be bringing it up if he didn't think that there was some kind of serious threat to there being, you know, people listening.
00:05:37.740Now, the good news is, you know, Trump is very responsive to public opinion.
00:05:41.240And we'll dive deeper into that in a second when we get to it.
00:05:44.320But obviously, we need to address the possible amnesty issue.
00:05:48.100And then finally, I want to talk a little bit about Elon's America Party.
00:05:51.860I know I did an episode on it recently with the Prudentialist, but he has continued to push this.
00:05:58.140He'll probably get bored with it soon.
00:05:59.780He'll probably get bored and walk away.
00:06:01.140But there are a number of arguments being made in support of Elon Musk's party.
00:06:08.160And obviously, given the Trump administration's pretty rough weekend, obviously, they're a little more compelling than they have been previously.
00:06:15.500But I still think that there are major holes in them.
00:06:18.040And so we will go ahead and discuss that at length as well.
00:06:22.540But let's begin with, obviously, the Jeffrey Epstein story.
00:06:26.520I've queued up several videos, again, of Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, and Kash Patel.
00:06:33.740Now, remember, Pam Bondi was not the first choice for Attorney General.
00:06:38.040Matt Gaetz was the first choice for Attorney General.
00:06:41.840Now, I know a lot of people find Matt Gaetz personally off-putting.
00:06:45.500But one of the reasons that so many of these people were selected for what they were supposed to do is they were going to be very adversarial to the organizations they were running.
00:06:54.460Trump did not want guys who were going to get in there and say, oh, I'm going to make my career inside the Department of Justice or I'm going to be FBI director for 12 years.
00:07:04.660They wanted people who could step in, challenge the status quo, didn't care about burning their reputations because ultimately reputations with organizations that are completely dysfunctional is not useful.
00:07:14.920And, you know, Matt Gaetz was someone who was considered to be, while he had many other, you know, possible personal issues, was somebody who did not owe the deep state anything because they hated him, right?
00:07:33.540He was on the wrong side of a lot of issues that make you popular in Washington, D.C.
00:07:37.440This is one of the reasons that he was targeted the way he was, but ultimately he got driven away from that position and Pam Bondi stepped in.
00:07:46.900Now, I've been aware of Pam Bondi for a long time.
00:07:49.060I was actually working for a congressman in Tampa back when she was an attorney.
00:07:54.220I believe she was either the city's attorney or a district attorney around there somewhere.
00:08:00.060She would show up to the meetings that I would also attend and I would speak at when I was working that job.
00:08:05.780So, I mean, I don't know her personally.
00:08:07.880I haven't sat down to dinner with her anywhere, but I'm relatively familiar with her.
00:08:12.200And, you know, it's pretty concerning the way that she has ultimately handled this.
00:08:17.760Again, when we see what she has said previously, you will understand why people are questioning the validity of this.
00:08:24.680It would be one thing if all of these guys had said, well, we're not sure what's going on.
00:08:46.020They've both said this over and over again.
00:08:47.940And as soon as we get into office, we're going to blow the lid off of this.
00:08:50.800So when you build your entire identity in running these organizations as like truth tellers and transparent and you're going to get in there and clean out house, especially when the trust in government and rule of law is so low, obviously you need to get in there.
00:09:06.280And if you if you're going to maintain the same system, you've got to have radical reform.
00:09:10.880And that's what all of these people promised.
00:09:12.580And now that they're in, we're seeing actually maybe we're not getting any of that.
00:09:17.200Now, there could be the off chance that Jeffrey Epstein just happened to not actually have any evidence against him.
00:09:25.020I mean, to be fair, there was a reason that they delayed this prosecution as long as they did.
00:09:30.020Or I should say the unveiling as long as they did, because ultimately a number of people were probably trying to destroy evidence.
00:09:38.740But it seems very unlikely that they got to all of it, especially after we were promised specifically by many of the actors in the Trump administration that this evidence was still in their possession.
00:10:55.760Like, if I was elected or if I was appointed the AG tomorrow and I walked in the office, the first thing I do would sprint to the desk and throw open the Epstein file and figure out what the heck is going on.
00:11:07.500Like, no sane person is just going to not check that out if it's sitting on your desk.
00:11:12.600And yet we get this one saying, oh, well, we would have it.
00:11:16.360Now, I see some people in chat saying Trump is on the list.
00:11:18.620Now, we do know Trump is on the phone book list, right, for sure.
00:11:23.320But if you're claiming that he's on the client list, okay, but then there's zero chance these people would have built their entire personas on revealing this list.
00:11:35.420Like, at some point, I can't, I mean, unless this is just the most insane level of ineptitude and lack of communication any administration has ever had in history.
00:11:44.700If that's true, like, if you really think the worst of Donald Trump and you think that he was like buy-in kids from Jeffrey Epstein, then why would his administration officials build their reputations on going after this?
00:11:58.260I mean, at some point, someone would have sat them down and said, hey, Cash, I know you talked about this a number of times in the past.
00:12:04.420Hey, Pam, I know you talked about this a number of times in the past, but we don't talk about it anymore because the big guy is on the list.
00:12:10.200Right. Like, even if you're attributing the most nefarious motives to the Trump administration, just basic logic would say, okay, no, someone is going to sit these people down and say, shut up about this.
00:12:20.640Stop trying to make a big deal out of it.
00:12:42.420And Ghirlane Maxwell is in prison for 20 years where she belongs.
00:12:47.080And if people in that report are still fighting to keep their names private, Sean,
00:12:51.440they have no legal basis to do so unless they're a child, a victim, or a cooperating defendant by some chance against some potential case against Ghirlane Maxwell.
00:13:02.660And I think Mark Garagos, as a great criminal defense attorney, will back that up as well.
00:13:08.120So here, you know, Pam Bondi makes our case pretty clearly, right?
00:13:11.740The case that pretty much everyone who had been suspicious about the handling of the Epstein scandal, she says, look, Epstein's dead.
00:13:50.000That's a lot of, you know, hard rhetoric that seems like a pretty accurate description of the only reason why you would not put this information forward.
00:17:02.900It's just super clear that, you know, maybe this isn't everything.
00:17:06.900Maybe this isn't like the one central council that controls the government through, you know, but there is some truth to the fact, obviously, that people are being blackmailed.
00:17:19.760And Kash Patel obviously believes this and is demanding that the Congress compel, the House Republicans compel these files to be made public.
00:17:38.840Boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are.
00:17:42.180We have an election coming up and we need to adjudicate this matter at the polls.
00:17:46.140God knows the FBI and DOJ aren't going to do anything.
00:17:48.900But how are you going to reward the FBI with a new headquarters building after their illegal surveillance on Donald Trump continues with a reauthorization of FISA and we can't even get basic documents out?
00:18:58.260Now I'm explaining to you and here are the facts that bring forward why we think that this isn't a larger conspiracy or we can't pursue it or something, anything, any explanation besides it just never existed.
00:19:10.460Like, I'm sorry, you cannot sit here like either Kash Patel knew what he was talking about to some extent or he didn't.
00:19:17.000Either Pam Bondi knew what she was talking about or she didn't.
00:19:20.760And if neither of them had any clue what they were talking about when it came to the Epstein files, why the heck were they put in positions of power?
00:20:19.980Like, who thought this was going to just fly under the radar?
00:20:23.960Who thought that this was going to just have no impact?
00:20:28.160Again, I don't want this entire presidency to be about Jeffrey Epstein.
00:20:33.180I my main, you know, my main goal is deportation.
00:20:37.480My main goal is saving this country for the people who live here now.
00:20:41.700But, man, I'm sorry, I'm not just going to turn my blind eye to child abuse and sexual trafficking to some of the most important people in the United States and in the globe.
00:20:52.920And I'm certainly not going to sit here and just blindly trust two people who built their entire identity in their roles on unveiling this information and are now pretending it just doesn't exist.
00:21:48.720Like, obviously, you're saying there are just hours upon hours upon hours of Jeffrey Epstein, you know, victimizing people, collecting CP, all kinds of terrible, terrible stuff.
00:22:01.680Right. Just horrible. There's so many victims.
00:22:04.700Right. And I know all the victims aren't going to come out because there's too much and we don't want to hurt these people further.
00:22:10.820But obviously, they were victimized by someone.
00:22:14.900Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just like collecting these girls for the heck of it.
00:22:19.380If he wanted to do that, he wouldn't need as many of them as he had.
00:22:22.120Like, these girls are going to someone.
00:24:25.100At least we would have put some effort into this.
00:24:28.180But we can tell side by side over and over again that Kash Patel and Pam Bundy said one thing and are now saying something completely opposite that cannot be reconciled without some kind of explanation.
00:24:51.160Now, again, I'm not the Epstein aficionado.
00:24:56.020If you want to get a deep dive into it, I again suggest Daryl Cooper's series on this.
00:25:02.380You can love or hate Daryl, but you owe it to yourself to get the information available there.
00:25:08.700And even if you don't know anything else about Epstein, like even if we can't prove every aspect of what Epstein is accused of, we do know for a fact that Jeffrey Epstein, who was often described as like this money manager.
00:25:26.260He like moved funds around for people.
00:25:28.320And even though like he didn't really have the requisite skill or the requisite qualification, he's this tax genius that is hiding all this.
00:25:36.900And then a lot of people point out that actually this guy like collects young girls and probably traffics them and that he's probably attached to some kind of intelligence agency.
00:25:46.460Now, a lot of people speculate that that intelligence agency is Israel's the Mossad.
00:25:53.680Of course, don't forget that the, you know, sexual blackmail is a classic intelligence play, right?
00:26:01.560The honeypot is a classic intelligence play across the board.
00:26:05.780Yes, the Mossad uses it, but so does everyone else.
00:26:08.800Mossad may be more than some, but everyone uses it.
00:26:12.020But what it means for sure is that Epstein was probably involved at some level in both, yes, the money managing, but also this trafficking of women to powerful people.
00:26:24.940We also know for sure, this is, this is not contested, that he was arrested in Florida.
00:26:31.720He was proven in court to have raped two teenagers and groomed additional teenagers, including one as young as 14.
00:26:40.360We're talking about a guy who was in Florida, picked up these, these girls, paid them to go and recruit other young, you know, teenage women.
00:26:52.140And if they, they, they, they, they report that at one point they brought in a 23 year old and he said, no, no, no, too old, too old.
00:26:58.540So this is a guy who is most certainly looking specifically for women who are under a certain age and are going to, you know, incriminate the people that he involves.
00:27:12.500And again, that's the point of these operations, these intelligence operations are designed specifically to cater to the sexual whims of people who are powerful.
00:27:22.200And if they are exposed, it will destroy their lives.
00:27:25.560And so you make sure that you offer them something that will destroy them ultimately.
00:27:31.920And so they absolutely have to do what you say.
00:27:34.660Right now, Epstein, despite being busted for raping two minors and trafficking and grooming multiple other minors, he gets a year and a half, most of which is done.
00:27:49.140And on, uh, on, uh, you know, home imprisonment, right?
00:27:53.180Like he, he's, uh, he's allowed to stay in a home.
00:27:57.420He doesn't have to go, uh, to, to prison, doesn't have to go to jail.
00:28:00.900Uh, uh, uh, and, and so he's getting nothing, right?
00:28:05.660He's getting barely a slap on the wrist for, uh, this behavior.
00:28:09.740And the prosecutor in Florida is on record saying he was told to give this guy, thank you, house arrest.
00:28:16.520I don't know why I couldn't, uh, you know, again, under the weather, uh, having a hard time with the cognitive faculties.
00:28:21.940Uh, but this guy is, um, you know, this guy is given a slap on the wrist for some of the most heinous crimes.
00:28:35.760And he's told specifically, uh, the prosecutor's told specifically, you need to give, uh, this guy, this sweetheart deal because he is owned by intelligence.
00:29:15.100We know that there's, you know, really clients, that there are really, uh, victims, uh, that there is really intelligence, uh, involved.
00:29:24.100And clearly Kash Patel and Pam Bondi believed that before they didn't believe it.
00:29:29.380And at the very least, I think we're owed a very clear explanation as to why that opinion conveniently pivoted.
00:29:36.040Now, I'd also like to remind you that Palm bit, uh, that, uh, Pam Bondi did this big influencer event, right?
00:29:47.480One of the things that the administration was doing, which I appreciate ultimately is going around the mainstream media.
00:29:54.720Uh, and so they said, oh, okay, well, we're going to bring in a bunch of internet influencers, right-wing influencers, uh, people like Liz Wheeler and Jack Posobiec and, uh, uh, Mike Cernovich.
00:30:05.600We're going to bring them in and we're going to hand them the Epstein files.
00:30:26.920It's just a folder with all the information.
00:30:29.100Everyone already knew, no new information, nothing released, nothing, uh, just, just binders with paper that we already knew existed and nothing else.
00:30:40.820And they receive no explanation for this.
00:30:43.040No explanation as to what is going on.
00:30:48.620Again, if you do not have the evidence, if you do not have the evidence,
00:30:53.520why are you building your reputation on having it?
00:31:00.200People are going to know that you don't have it.
00:31:02.720It's going to become clear that you don't have it.
00:31:05.380So at some point it would have made sense.
00:31:08.220Like, like, like how stupid did they think people were like, they thought that just your favorite, uh, you know, influencer was going to show up, get a binder and then say, Hey, it's everything we already knew.
00:31:44.120I would like to never believe that are in our foreign policy is influenced by any of this stuff that our government is influenced by this stuff.
00:32:23.640At this point, I would hate to believe that these things are connected at all, but how, how can you not?
00:32:29.660How can you look at this and say, well, I don't know.
00:32:33.460Probably crazy to think there's anything connected to this.
00:32:36.000Again, would love to believe anything else, but I've been given no explanation by the administration, no explanation from Bondi, no explanation from Kash Patel.
00:32:47.300Frankly, no explanation from Dan Bongino, who I like, who's been very kind to me, who I respect.
00:32:53.700But I, I need to know what's going on guys.
00:32:56.660I need to know what's going on right now.
00:32:59.360Like you're, are we transparent or not?
00:33:01.800Are you clearing out the swamp or not?
00:33:03.480Are you reforming these institutions or not?
00:33:06.740Because right now it looks like you're not, it looks like you actually have no interest in doing that.
00:33:12.540Because if you did, I would at the very least get an explanation as to what is happening here.
00:33:47.700Uh, and there's just no excuse for not going out there and making this case again.
00:33:53.920I am not deeply invested in this conspiracy theory, quote unquote.
00:33:58.540I don't need this to explain everything that happens in the United States.
00:34:01.840But if you cannot offer me an explanation as to why these two people who are clearly deeply convicted about the fact that Jeffrey Epstein had clients, that he did blackmail people, and in many cases that he did not kill himself.
00:34:17.900If you are people who built your reputation on this, and now you're coming to me and saying, actually, none of that stuff exists, even though I literally pointed it out to you, it's just insane.
00:34:32.740Sorry, guys, the, uh, the cold is catching up with me here.
00:34:43.660So I want to present this real quick from, uh, Connor Boyack.
00:34:47.160He's actually been on the show before.
00:36:47.400If these people are withholding documents, clearly documents say something.
00:36:51.900They're not just fighting the Trump administration because they're just pages that don't have any revelations on them.
00:36:57.740So if you're withholding these documents as an FBI agent because you're trying to cover something up, there's got to be a there there, right?
00:37:06.440Uh, then on March 14th says she received a truckload of unreleased documents, no release times given.
00:37:15.760April 28th, April 28th, covertly recorded, uh, saying the FBI reviews tens of thousands of Epstein videos with children.
00:37:24.480May 7th publicly states the FBI is reviewing tens of thousands of videos, denies files are missing, cites victim protection.
00:37:32.640So again, we have the scenario where she says multiple times, both before she's in the position and once, uh, she's in office, uh, once she's been appointed that she has the documents, they were being withheld by the FBI.
00:37:46.760They fired the people who were withholding them.
00:37:49.600Uh, there, there are videos, tens of thousands of videos.
00:37:54.340Uh, the files aren't missing, uh, but we have to be careful with the victim's identities.
00:38:05.840These victims were victimized by someone like Maxwell is in jail for a reason.
00:38:12.240Now, a lot of people point out, okay, well, she was involved in directly abusing these, uh, underage girls with, uh, Epstein and that's the core of her charge.
00:38:28.300Now I get it when you're in a business like this, you probably don't write everything down, but if they have tens of thousands of videos of Epstein involved with children, they've got videos of involved with someone else.
00:39:47.020Like I said, uh, unfortunately, uh, Charlie Kirk is reporting that, uh, Donald Trump is receiving significant lobbying efforts to, uh, impose a bipartisan amnesty plan for farm and hospitality workers.
00:40:02.920Now, again, this would probably not be as concerning except Trump has floated this plan on a regular basis.
00:40:08.760Normally, if we get just Trump talking about something completely disembodied and it's probably not a big deal.
00:40:14.260So you can kind of push them off of it if you get just the administration and some of the, um, you know, more hostile elements in it to us, you know, going around and trying to push something.
00:41:08.500If Donald Trump Reagan amnesty is a large chunk.
00:41:11.760And let's be clear, you're going to end up, if this is going to turn into millions of people, because it's not just going to be, uh, you know, the workers, it's going to be their families.
00:41:20.620It's going to be their families, families.
00:41:22.440You're going to chain migrate all these people.
00:41:26.500It's never just the number of people they say it is.
00:41:29.980It's always triple, quadruple, even more what they're talking about.
00:41:35.020And Charlie Kirk knows that if Donald Trump does this, if he actually bites this bullet, he will destroy MAGA.
00:41:41.540He'll blow it up because there are other issues people will fudge on.
00:41:45.720Even when it comes to war, even though most people don't want to go to war, they'll put up with the bombing of Iran or something because the deportations, taking back the country, removing illegals is the promise.
00:42:05.320Now, again, I don't think Trump administration gets enough credit for reducing illegal entries to virtually zero.
00:42:12.040We have illegal entries that are lower than basically like anytime we've recorded them in a long time.
00:42:18.140He's done a tremendous amount of work on that and should get more credit than he does for that.
00:42:23.160But that is not enough because the Biden administration brought in at least 10 million people, let's be honest, just during that term.
00:42:32.180And there were at least another, you know, 20, maybe 30 million people already here.
00:42:36.120So if you are not encouraging, and I've said this many times, you're not going to mass deport every illegal immigrant, but you make it hostile for them to be here.
00:42:46.240You do that by having remittance taxes, by making it hard for them to get jobs, making it difficult for them to, you know, get housing, those kind of things because they shouldn't be here in the first place.
00:42:58.280Because you don't have to physically carry, you don't have to physically carry every immigrant out of the country, but you have to make it very inhospitable for 30 million illegal people to be in this country.
00:43:16.560If you want to fix anything, if you want to catch up to what Joe Biden even did, you need to get at least 10 million people out of this country in four years.
00:43:24.140Again, willing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt, willing to see the ramp up, appreciate that they needed the budget, but you got it now.
00:43:32.940Are you really going to turn around and set up an amnesty?
00:43:36.580Now, again, Trump is just being lobbied here.
00:43:39.600So I'd like to say he's not interested in it at all, but he's obviously floated the idea several times.
00:43:45.540He does a lot of getting the public opinion and he often adjusts.
00:43:49.760Last time he made an announcement like this, the government was going to start implementing some of this stuff and then they rolled it back, right?
00:43:57.680So it's not that Trump can't be talked out of this stuff, but you got to do it.
00:44:03.480You have to be very forceful with the fact that this is a great way to just end all of the coalition.
00:44:12.140And Trump should be aware that the bipartisan deal is the death knell, right?
00:44:18.060Like if you are allowing the Democrats to dictate and the only thing you really get done is amnesty for illegals, that is going to absolutely destroy your legacy.
00:44:30.560It's going to completely destroy your legacy and frankly, rightly so, right?
00:44:34.700If you betray the people of the United States that way, then it's going to have that effect.
00:44:41.580It was never about only deporting gang members.
00:44:46.800Never about just deporting fentanyl dealers.
00:44:51.180But don't sit around and pretend with me that this, you know, that the mass deportations were always about, you know, having the guest workers come in and fill the farming jobs and fill the hospitality jobs.
00:45:08.820No, these corporations are going to pay Americans.
00:45:12.360These corporations are going to pay Americans.
00:45:14.880And to be fair, every one of these people who is lobbying Trump for illegal immigrant labor right now should be in jail.
00:45:48.300I hope you enjoy going to Venezuela or whatever.
00:45:51.840Like there is zero reason that these people should be seeing the light of day.
00:45:56.140If you are a corporate lobbyist or you are a owner of a corporation and you are pushing for amnesty for illegal workers, you should be in jail.
00:46:30.120Now I feel relatively good about the fact that eventually Trump will walk this back, but I'm not going to pretend that that's some done deal.
00:46:37.520I'm not going to sit around and just pretend like this is okay.
00:47:20.220Finally, I wanted to talk really quickly about Elon and his party.
00:47:23.300Again, we went over most of this and why it's a stupid idea.
00:47:27.480That said, over the last couple of days, obviously Trump has been making the best case for Elon that he possibly could.
00:47:34.120Now, I'm not saying Elon would be great and I'm not saying this idea makes any sense.
00:47:37.620It's still stupid and suicidal, but you can see why people would be wavering in the face of the way the Trump administration has been handling these things recently.
00:47:49.080But let me just say this to people who are considering supporting Elon.
00:47:53.320And I think ultimately this is going to blow over.
00:47:58.980He's going to put away the pettiness or recognize and he's going to move on.
00:48:02.240But the reason that Elon's party is obviously dangerous is it'll split the right and it'll destroy the ability to keep the left out of power, despite the fact that the left is absolutely destroyed.
00:49:28.380Literally, they've got a Muslim who loves trans people and wants to redistribute all the wealth in New York and take from everybody according to their ability and give to them according to their need.
00:50:10.900And again, while Elon might look attractive for the moment because of how bad Trump has been on this recently, he obviously doesn't care about borders or the identity of the United States.
00:50:48.800And he really wants infinite immigrants for labor.
00:50:52.220Elon is talking about making an America party that is not for Americans, that has no interest in Americans, that has no interest in American history, American tradition, American identity.
00:51:12.140The America party seems to have one setting, which is government spending.
00:51:17.580Guys, we already have a party that is completely obsessed with government spending.
00:52:28.160Maybe they should care, but they do not care.
00:52:30.860It is a losing issue, which is why it has lost my entire life and will continue to lose.
00:52:37.920So you're going to build a party on an issue, you know, will lose with, from all your experience, you're taking all the popular things out of Trump's platform and you're saying, okay, we're going to just run on this.
00:52:53.660This thing that has been Paul Ryan conservatism my entire life that got, had no cultural purchase and went nowhere.
00:52:59.700Why? Why? And I'm seeing, you know, it's the Uniparty, it's the Uniparty.
00:53:06.760Well, yes, there is a Uniparty. I agree.
00:53:08.860There is overlap between the Republican and Democratic Party.
00:53:11.580It is nefarious. It is dangerous. I'm with you.
00:53:14.440But in the next breath, they're like, but why can't we just be centrist?
00:54:35.160And by the way, libertarians out there now currently backing Elon Musk.
00:54:40.700Seriously, you're going to rally to this guy who literally built his entire career on government spending, where government contracts and subsidy carve-outs were critical parts of his fortune?
00:55:01.100But don't tell me about the principles of your party.
00:55:03.460Don't tell me how you're so much more principled than the Republican Party.
00:55:06.860When you immediately jump ship for one of the biggest guys who receives government spending around, it's got like $38 billion or something dollars from the government at this point.
00:55:18.900I'm not here to say, oh, how could he?
00:55:20.520But I am saying, if you're a libertarian and you've been pointing to me and saying, oh, why can't you be principled on this issue?
00:55:26.840Maybe it's time to look in the mirror, guys.
00:55:28.740Like, if you immediately jump ship to support a guy who clearly does not share your principles, is clearly not a full-on libertarian in any sense of the term.
00:55:39.960If you're going to abandon your principles to support that guy, then let's just be honest, right?
00:55:44.420You're doing it because it's politically advantageous.
00:55:46.520And for once, I would respect that from the Libertarian Party.
00:55:49.880Be the most politically astute thing they've done in a long time.
00:55:52.820But just don't wag your finger at me and talk about principle.
00:55:55.740It's very clear who you are if that's what you're willing to do.
00:55:59.300So, again, I totally understand why Elon's party looks more attractive after the last few days.
00:58:04.800Yeah, so this is more or less been my approach, right?
00:58:08.940Like, trust the plan, but also always be prepared to chimp.
00:58:13.340Because if you completely attack Trump and you completely isolate yourself, that's a mistake.
00:58:19.580Ultimately, Trump has done more for the right than pretty much any other politician during my lifetime.
00:58:24.860I'm not going to be one of those people who ignores that fact because I dislike something he said.
00:58:29.060This is what a number of pro-life absolutists have done, and it's been very foolish of them to constantly attack a guy who has got them their biggest victories ever.
00:58:38.320At the same time, I'm not going to be entirely quiet, right?
00:58:41.020And so I think this is the right move.
00:58:55.480Like, I'm sorry, but if you're spending all of your time talking about how this is real and I know about this and the minute I get into office, I'm going to fix this.
00:59:03.200And then the minute you walk in, you're like, nope, not real, never happened.
00:59:31.500Again, I'm not against being persuaded that the thing was overblown.
00:59:36.640The conspiracy is not as far reaching as people believe that there's only a few people to get wrapped up or something, but you're wrapping up no one, nothing, zero.
00:59:55.660What line exactly does Trump need to cross before we are allowed to collectively agree that the Trump era has been a flop and we've been duped?
01:01:31.180But am I going to pretend that Trump has done nothing for me?
01:01:33.920Am I going to be one of these pro-life people who's like, well, Donald Trump said something about how we might have to be somewhat thoughtful about our political strategy.
01:01:40.940So he's betrayed us on every level, even though he got Roe versus Wade overturned and defunded Planned Parenthood and has done way more for pro-life Christians than any person who's spouted their rhetoric for the last 30 years.
01:01:52.960Am I going to be like, am I going to be like, am I going to be that person?
01:02:32.940The answers are still building power locally.
01:02:36.220The answers are still building networks.
01:02:38.380The answers are still acquiring power where you can find it and not relying entirely on the national government.
01:02:44.420If you're entirely bought into Trump as savior, then, yeah, you're going to look stupid.
01:02:49.580But if you're also in these idiots running around and being like, every time Trump says something I don't like or even does something I don't like, I'm a child who can't stop but pooping my pants.
01:02:58.000And so I'm just going to run out and scream and completely remove all influence or possible difference I could make.
01:03:42.840So trying to get out of here and save what's left of my voice.
