00:00:00.000 Tucker Carlson wants a pro-jihadi America-hating socialist in the United States Senate.
00:00:05.000 That is, in fact, the sad reality.
00:00:07.000 Yesterday, Tucker just came out and effectively endorsed Abdulrahman El-Sayed.
00:00:12.000 According to Tucker, El-Sayed is basically America first.
00:00:14.000 Now, here's the thing.
00:00:16.000 I would like for America not to have a senator who hates America, Western civilization, capitalism, the Jews, and the police.
00:00:23.000 I think that'd be good.
00:00:25.000 So today, we're going to have on Mike Rogers, El-Sayed's Republican opponent.
00:00:28.000 But then again, you know, I want Republicans to win.
00:00:31.000 And Tucker wants them to lose because Tucker Carlson right now has only one important standard.
00:00:36.000 If you believe that Israel and neocons and Zionists and other code words for Jews run America's foreign and domestic policy, he's with you.
00:00:45.000 Most Republicans don't think that, so he is happy to promote Republican defeat.
00:00:49.000 He'll call the president the Antichrist.
00:00:51.000 He'll say he ought to be impeached.
00:00:52.000 He'll hug Abdul Rahman, El Sayed, and Zarn Mamdani because if the Republicans lose, then Tucker can try to take over the fragments of what's left.
00:01:00.000 That is the whole game.
00:01:01.000 Just remember, if Republicans do poorly in 2026, Tucker Carlson is happy.
00:01:06.000 He is overjoyed.
00:01:07.000 That is his actual goal.
00:01:09.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.
00:01:17.000 So, one of the sad realities of politics is that people don't watch it all that closely.
00:01:21.000 They don't have a granular level, intense focus on politics the way that listeners to this show do or the way that I do on a daily level.
00:01:28.000 And so, you may not know who Abdul Rahman El Sayed is.
00:01:33.000 So, Abdul El Sayed is the Michigan Senate candidate for the Democratic Party, and he hates the country.
00:01:39.000 I mean, truly hates America.
00:01:42.000 For example, here was his tweet 9 11 2021 quote, Today, I mourn the 3,000 lives, 6,000 injuries, and infrastructural devastation in New York City, perpetrated ignorantly in the name of my faith.
00:01:54.000 It was just like an ignorant mistake.
00:01:55.000 You know, it's just a thing that happens.
00:01:57.000 Tomorrow, I'll mourn 1 million lives, millions of injuries, and infrastructural devastation in three countries, perpetrated ignorantly in the name of my country.
00:02:05.000 You see, there's a complete parallelism between, you know, Al Qaeda and the United States of America, except the U.S. is way, way, way worse, according to Abdul El Sayed.
00:02:14.000 Abdul El Sayed, of course, before 9 11, right?
00:02:17.000 It's the 25th anniversary of 9 11, is coming up next week.
00:02:21.000 And, uh, Abdul Al Sayyid has chosen what he wants to do in the days leading up to it.
00:02:26.000 Apparently, according to Hot Air, he has chosen to attend the annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America.
00:02:33.000 According to the Detroit Free Press, it is one of the oldest and largest annual Muslim gatherings in the United States, with more than 20,000 expected to attend the ISNA convention over Labor Day weekend.
00:02:44.000 Now, according to counterterrorism testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, ISNA is basically a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:02:51.000 An Arabic document, quote, drafted by senior U.S. Muslim Brotherhood leader Muhammad Akram, also known as Muhammad Akram Adlouni, and entitled Preliminary Vision for Preparing Future Leadership, was introduced as evidence in the Holy Land Foundation trial.
00:03:05.000 The Holy Land Foundation was a front charity for Hamas.
00:03:09.000 The documents identified key U.S. Muslim Brotherhood leaders as of 1988 and contained a chart of the leadership and their roles.
00:03:15.000 It also contained the names of various front organizations, including, but not limited to, the Islamic Society of North America.
00:03:22.000 And the Muslim Students Association.
00:03:23.000 Abdul El Sayed started off as an MSA member and leader.
00:03:27.000 Isna was and remains an unindicted co conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation prosecution.
00:03:32.000 And of course, Abdul El Sayed.
00:03:35.000 Here are just some of his greatest hits in the months leading up to and during the candidacy.
00:03:41.000 Violence always begets violence.
00:03:43.000 Only peace can extinguish that.
00:03:46.000 Because hurt people hurt people.
00:03:47.000 So you think it's okay for a parent to slash his kids' fingers at university?
00:03:52.000 You think that's okay?
00:03:54.000 I mean, do you really want to have this conversation?
00:03:56.000 Are you circumcised?
00:03:58.000 Yeah, but I mean, that's a personal question.
00:04:02.000 Okay.
00:04:02.000 If you cannot stand for trans rights, do not be surprised when they come for your rights.
00:04:06.000 I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today.
00:04:11.000 So, like, I just don't want to comment on Khomeini at all.
00:04:16.000 Like, I don't think it's worth even touching that.
00:04:20.000 You said the Israeli government is evil, dude.
00:04:22.000 They're just as evil as Hamas.
00:04:24.000 Yes, killing tens of thousands of people makes you pretty damn evil.
00:04:27.000 It's not how evil is this one versus that one.
00:04:29.000 Hamas, evil.
00:04:30.000 Israeli government, evil.
00:04:31.000 We could say both.
00:04:32.000 Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, was considered radical in his time, too.
00:04:37.000 And there is a radical nature to being willing to stand forthright in a time of corruption.
00:04:46.000 So, again, he wants to trans the kids.
00:04:50.000 He is a Medicare for all socialist.
00:04:52.000 He hates capitalism.
00:04:54.000 He hates America.
00:04:55.000 He says that America is basically Al Qaeda, except on steroids.
00:04:58.000 He says that Israel is worse than Hamas.
00:05:00.000 And famously, his close political allies with America hating piece of trash, Hassan Piker, who he claims that he doesn't hate America while he has, again, a Chinese flag and a Cuban flag and a newspaper of 9 11 behind him in his studio.
00:05:17.000 Now he's claiming, by the way, he doesn't hate America, Hassan Piker, right?
00:05:20.000 Because he wants everybody to have health care.
00:05:22.000 Here was his shtick yesterday.
00:05:24.000 Anytime I critique America, the Republican.
00:05:31.000 The entirety of the Republican Party goes, that's America hatred behavior.
00:05:35.000 This guy hates America.
00:05:36.000 Look, he's saying he hates America.
00:05:38.000 Do you hate America?
00:05:40.000 The f do you mean?
00:05:41.000 Between you and I, who hates America?
00:05:43.000 Let's be real.
00:05:44.000 The guy who wants everybody to have health care, the guy who wants to stop endless militarism, all of our productive output going to bombing schools instead of building schools over here, or the guy who is consistently advocating to rip apart the social fabric that pulls us together.
00:06:05.000 I mean, who hates America?
00:06:06.000 Probably the guy who says over and over that he hates America.
00:06:06.000 I don't know.
00:06:09.000 Probably that one.
00:06:11.000 God, I hate America so much.
00:06:13.000 We are the bad guys.
00:06:14.000 We are the bad guys.
00:06:15.000 Why do I hate America?
00:06:16.000 Because I recognize accurate history.
00:06:19.000 Oh, God, I hate America so much.
00:06:22.000 God, I hate America so much sometimes.
00:06:25.000 It's like so stupid, dude.
00:06:27.000 God, I hate America so much.
00:06:29.000 Bro, I hate this country, dude.
00:06:31.000 I hate America so much.
00:06:33.000 Much, dude.
00:06:34.000 Oh, God.
00:06:35.000 I just, I hate America so much.
00:06:38.000 So nasty.
00:06:40.000 So nasty, dude.
00:06:43.000 I hate America so much.
00:06:45.000 I hate coming back.
00:06:46.000 Dude, I hate America, dude.
00:06:48.000 Why do I hate America, by the way?
00:06:51.000 Because of America's continued allegiance with Israel.
00:06:54.000 I hate America so much.
00:06:56.000 I hate America so much.
00:06:59.000 I just, oh, God.
00:07:00.000 We're a nation of bloodthirsty monsters.
00:07:03.000 God, I hate America so much sometimes, dude.
00:07:07.000 Oh my God.
00:07:08.000 It's just so nasty.
00:07:10.000 Just a bunch of perverted, fascist, fat in this country, just bloodthirsty.
00:07:20.000 That's the guy who campaigns alongside Abdul El Sayed, and El Sayed refuses to dissociate.
00:07:24.000 I will get to Tucker Carlson deciding that Abdul El Sayed is actually the good guy.
00:07:29.000 Abdul El Sayed, by the way, is for abortion on demand.
00:07:31.000 You know, we're not for that.
00:07:32.000 You know why we're not for that?
00:07:33.000 Because it turns out life requires protection.
00:07:36.000 It's a big issue for us here, which is why we don't want senators.
00:07:39.000 who love abortion, right?
00:07:40.000 It's like a big thing, actually.
00:07:42.000 Okay.
00:07:42.000 So if you are a pro-life person, if you're a person who wishes to provide women the support they need to make the correct decision, this is why you should help out the folks over at pre-born.
00:07:53.000 Doctors told a woman named Alba that pregnancy was impossible.
00:07:56.000 Her husband's diagnosis confirmed it.
00:07:57.000 A child of their own simply wasn't going to happen.
00:07:59.000 And then the impossible happened.
00:08:01.000 Alba was pregnant.
00:08:02.000 And that sounds like a miracle, but to Alba, it didn't feel like one.
00:08:05.000 That positive pregnancy test felt like a mistake, a cruel twist of science she didn't understand or want.
00:08:09.000 Nothing added up.
00:08:10.000 She had accepted the pregnancy wasn't possible, the baby wasn't planned.
00:08:13.000 Suddenly, she was confused and afraid and overwhelmed.
00:08:15.000 What should have felt like a miracle felt like a crisis, and then she walked into a preborn network clinic.
00:08:19.000 She was welcomed with compassion and given a free ultrasound.
00:08:22.000 When she saw her baby and heard that tiny heartbeat, everything changed.
00:08:25.000 Fear gave way to hope.
00:08:26.000 Elba chose life.
00:08:27.000 Today, baby Laura is healthy and thriving.
00:08:29.000 A reminder that when God is writing the story, impossible doesn't get the final word.
00:08:32.000 Right now, another mother needs that help, and you can give it to her.
00:08:36.000 Just $28 helps provide one life saving ultrasound.
00:08:39.000 $140 helps rescue five babies.
00:08:41.000 Please give today.
00:08:42.000 Dial pound 250, say baby.
00:08:43.000 That's pound 250.
00:08:44.000 Baby, or visit preborn.comslash Ben.
00:08:47.000 That's preborn.comslash Ben.
00:08:49.000 If you're a business owner, would you consider a larger donation to claim a write off?
00:08:52.000 Donation of a grand, 2,000 bucks, 10 grand, 15 grand that sponsors an ultrasound machine for a needy clinic, helping save countless babies' lives for years to come.
00:09:00.000 Gifts are tax deductible and will reach eternity.
00:09:02.000 Get involved today.
00:09:03.000 Yesterday, along with Timu Tucker, Sagar and Jetty, Tucker all but endorsed Abdul El Sayed, and he essentially suggested that Republicans have no reason at all to support the Republican candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan.
00:09:15.000 Here was Tucker with Timu Tucker yesterday.
00:09:19.000 Abdul El Sayed, who's running in Michigan against Mike Rogers, who As you and I know, probably the most pro intel neocon.
00:09:26.000 They couldn't find anybody else to run in Michigan for the United States.
00:09:29.000 Who, by the way, lost already.
00:09:31.000 Why are they running him again?
00:09:33.000 Anyone want to tell me that?
00:09:35.000 Mike Rogers is really.
00:09:38.000 I wouldn't vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint.
00:09:42.000 At gunpoint, I wouldn't vote for Mike Rogers against the pro jihadi.
00:09:45.000 In fact, actually, you know what?
00:09:46.000 He actually probably is not pro jihadi, the pro jihadi.
00:09:49.000 Actually, probably he's America first.
00:09:51.000 Maybe the most America first.
00:09:52.000 Maybe like the most pro America person who hates America ever to be America first.
00:09:57.000 Here again, Tucker Carlson with Timu Tucker Carlson, Sagar and Jenny.
00:10:03.000 I watch his campaign now.
00:10:05.000 It's America first.
00:10:07.000 The amount of times he says, he doesn't even, when he talks about Israel, he says Israel is committing a genocide, but ultimately, I want to make sure that you don't pay more for health care.
00:10:16.000 I don't want your tax dollars going abroad to fund this barbaric military.
00:10:20.000 He stands in front of a giant American flag.
00:10:22.000 It's almost Trumpian in terms of a lot of what's literally Trumpian.
00:10:26.000 Exactly.
00:10:27.000 And so you see candidates like that, especially him, he will be the most interesting test case.
00:10:31.000 Come November.
00:10:32.000 Is he going to win?
00:10:34.000 If I had to bet, which I don't, I would probably bet that he'll win.
00:10:38.000 I would think so.
00:10:39.000 I think so too.
00:10:40.000 Do you have any idea, not to fix it on poor Mike Rogers, who I know, but I mean, there's no one who should be farther from a position of power than Mike Rogers.
00:10:49.000 No one?
00:10:50.000 No one should be further from a position of power than Mike Rogers, the guy running against the guy who hates America, thinks that America is akin to Al Qaeda, but like way, way, way worse.
00:11:01.000 That's who Tucker is.
00:11:02.000 Thinks should win.
00:11:03.000 That guy is who he thinks should win.
00:11:05.000 Now, again, this is nothing new.
00:11:07.000 What is the unifying feature of Tucker Carlson's worldview at this point?
00:11:11.000 Tucker Carlson will support literally anyone, anyone, no matter how insane, so long as they agree with his basic theory of life and politics, which is that Israel and neocons and Zionists and other code words for Jews control America's policy on everything from pornography to immigration to foreign policy.
00:11:31.000 Again, this is not new.
00:11:32.000 He did this same routine.
00:11:34.000 With Marjorie Taylor Greene back in 2025, praising Zorhan Mamdani.
00:11:39.000 Is it because people are so desperate for government owned grocery stores or love socialism or love foreign born midwits running their cities?
00:11:48.000 Probably not.
00:11:49.000 That guy was the only person in the New York City mayor's debate to say he wanted to focus on New York City.
00:11:56.000 All the candidates were asked if you could visit a foreign country, what would it be?
00:11:59.000 And they, of course, all had an answer.
00:12:01.000 I think most said Israel.
00:12:02.000 Great.
00:12:03.000 And he said, I wouldn't go anywhere, I'd stay in New York.
00:12:06.000 And, like, if I want to meet Jewish constituents, I go to their synagogues, their homes, or whatever.
00:12:09.000 But I'd be here in New York because that's what I'm doing.
00:12:11.000 I'm running New York.
00:12:12.000 That's my job.
00:12:13.000 Well, he gave the right answer.
00:12:14.000 He gave the right answer.
00:12:15.000 He gave the right answer, at least.
00:12:16.000 And he's talking.
00:12:17.000 I totally oppose his program.
00:12:19.000 Absolutely.
00:12:20.000 I don't think it works.
00:12:22.000 But he's talking about economics.
00:12:25.000 Yep.
00:12:25.000 And everyone else is talking about foreign policy.
00:12:28.000 Why is it hard to talk about economics, domestic economics?
00:12:32.000 Apparently, they don't know how to fix it.
00:12:32.000 I don't know.
00:12:35.000 And Mamdani also, it turns out, is America first.
00:12:38.000 Now, of course, Mamdani hates America.
00:12:40.000 And hates capitalism, wants to trans the kids, and all of those things.
00:12:43.000 I mean, Zarn Mamdani.
00:12:44.000 His own tweet about 9-11 from 2023 is basically just the mirror of Abdul El Sayed because they're mirror images of one another.
00:12:50.000 He tweeted, quote, nearly 3,000 New Yorkers died on 9-11.
00:12:54.000 22 years later, the death hasn't stopped.
00:12:56.000 They just died.
00:12:56.000 They spontaneously combusted on 9-11.
00:12:58.000 Again, he said this three years ago, not 20 years ago, three years ago.
00:13:02.000 And 22 years later, the death hasn't stopped.
00:13:04.000 Right again.
00:13:05.000 Terrorists did a bad thing, but you know who did a much worse thing?
00:13:08.000 America.
00:13:08.000 We mourn our neighbors who died that day, the hundreds of thousands who died in the wars that followed, the unknown millions injured and displaced.
00:13:14.000 In their memory, we work toward a better world.
00:13:16.000 That is who Tucker was blazing alongside Marjorie Taylor Greene, a great constellation of intellect happening in that room.
00:13:22.000 And of course, Armandani, all we know this.
00:13:26.000 He's as radical as radical can be.
00:13:28.000 He's investing $15 million in transing of the children.
00:13:31.000 He announced this back in June.
00:13:34.000 As a first step, my administration has made a $15 million investment in gender affirming care over the next two years.
00:13:44.000 And we will continue to use every tool at our disposal.
00:13:48.000 To ensure that trans and gender non conforming New Yorkers can live with dignity, safety, and freedom they deserve.
00:13:56.000 And of course, he's basically a communist.
00:13:57.000 I mean, Mamdani literally promoted the warmth of collectivism at his inauguration.
00:14:04.000 And if for too long these communities have existed as distinct from one another, we will draw this city closer together.
00:14:12.000 We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
00:14:21.000 So, I'm just pointing out here that, again, this is the person that Tucker and Marjorie Taylor Greene think is, quote unquote, America first.
00:14:30.000 And Momdani's latest routine, by the way, as an America first person, is that he is very supportive of Mosin Madawi.
00:14:36.000 Mosin Madawi is a Jew hating so called activist who is now being deported from the United States of America under an appeals court ruling.
00:14:46.000 So, now, Momdani is a big fan.
00:14:50.000 Right, Mom Dhani's a huge fan of Mosin Madali.
00:14:54.000 He celebrated his release from federal custody in April of 2025, and then he posed with him in June of 2026.
00:15:02.000 And it turns out that actually, one of the things about Mosin Madali is that he literally just wants Jews to die.
00:15:10.000 He literally promoted in Arabic on his feed we shall annihilate the Jews.
00:15:18.000 So these are the kinds of people that Tucker likes.
00:15:21.000 Again, these are all the America first people.
00:15:22.000 You know, like the people you think of.
00:15:24.000 When you think America first, you think people who think that 9-11 was really just something that happened, but mostly blowback to American foreign policy and that America is the bad guy and they're fine with the transing of the kids and they like it and they're big with the socialism.
00:15:36.000 Okay, so again, the basic framework for Tucker Carlson is this.
00:15:39.000 If you are a radical anti-Semite who hates Israel and believes, as Mamdani and El Sayed do, that all problems are attributable to Israel and its allies in the United States, mostly Jews, Tucker has warm words for you.
00:15:50.000 It is that simple.
00:15:51.000 You can trans the kids.
00:15:53.000 That's fine.
00:15:53.000 I mean, Tucker himself says that, by the way, transing the kids, that's a distraction anyway.
00:15:57.000 It's just a distraction.
00:15:58.000 Like the fact that the Trump administration has stopped the transing of the children, that was just an appetizer.
00:16:03.000 It doesn't really matter.
00:16:03.000 He said this back in July 2025 at TPUSA.
00:16:08.000 If you deny people what they actually want long enough and instead substitute things that you claim they should want, like bombing Iran, you know, I mean, I'm not, whatever, I'm not for Iran, where you spend all day telling me that it's so important that.
00:16:26.000 You know, boys not playing girls' soccer teams or whatever.
00:16:28.000 I agree.
00:16:29.000 I hate the tranny stuff passionately.
00:16:31.000 I think you should keep the boys off girls' soccer teams.
00:16:35.000 But I don't know.
00:16:38.000 It kind of feels like you're feeding me appetizers.
00:16:42.000 Again, it doesn't matter.
00:16:42.000 Right.
00:16:43.000 So you can, you know, you can trans the kids.
00:16:45.000 You can embrace on-demand abortion.
00:16:46.000 You can promote full-scale socialism.
00:16:48.000 I mean, the truth is Tucker is kind of in favor of that one on principle because he thinks that big government should just bootstomp capitalism in the name of whatever his supposed priorities are.
00:16:57.000 You can hate America.
00:16:58.000 You can support jihadis, all of it.
00:17:00.000 So long as you buy into Tucker Carlson's conspiracy theory that the nefarious Israelis and the neocons and the Zionists, again, all the code words for Jews control America, he is with you, which is why he's obsessed with Israel.
00:17:13.000 Nowadays, we have all these different tools and gadgets to optimize sleep.
00:17:16.000 Sleep trackers and apps, room diffusers, mouth tape supplements, elaborate nighttime routines.
00:17:20.000 People are monitoring 17 different metrics to determine whether they successfully went unconscious for eight hours.
00:17:25.000 So maybe some of that has value, but before you redesign your entire life around sleep, you might want to consider what you're actually lying in every night your bedding.
00:17:32.000 This is why I continue to tell you about Bull and Branch.
00:17:34.000 Their bedding makes your bed noticeably better without requiring you to develop a new lifestyle around it.
00:17:39.000 Their sheets are made from 100% organic cotton.
00:17:41.000 They are woven specifically for airflow.
00:17:43.000 There's no synthetic cooling technology, it's simply the way the cotton is woven.
00:17:47.000 Bowl and Branch sheets are incredibly soft, breathable.
00:17:49.000 The quality is evident the moment you get into bed.
00:17:51.000 Again, I'm on Bowl and Branch every single night.
00:17:53.000 It's awesome stuff, just awesome.

00:18:14.000 Exclusions apply.
00:18:15.000 There is no one in America who is more obsessed with Israel than Tucker Carlson.
00:18:20.000 And I know, I know, the entire online world goes, oh, you know, Shapiro, you talk about Israel a lot.
00:18:24.000 Actually, actually, we have some stats that show that I really don't.
00:18:28.000 I really don't.
00:18:29.000 You know who talks about Israel incessantly, who will never stop talking about Israel?
00:18:32.000 Because again, Tucker thinks that Israel is the center of the universe, right?
00:18:32.000 Tucker Carlson.
00:18:35.000 Everything revolves around Israel and its policies.
00:18:37.000 Whereas I, an American, think that America is the center of the universe.
00:18:40.000 So I talk about American policy.
00:18:42.000 Tucker spends more time talking about Israel than Israelis do.
00:18:46.000 He is Glenn Close boiling rabbits and fatal attraction obsessed.
00:18:50.000 With Israel.
00:18:51.000 So here are some stats.
00:18:52.000 They were done by analyzing transcripts from Tucker's show and my own for contrast between January 2025 and March 2026.
00:18:59.000 And by the way, the contrast has gotten worse since March of 2026.
00:19:03.000 So Israel was his number two topic between January 2025 and March 2026 by word volume.
00:19:10.000 He talked as much about Israel as he did about President Trump.
00:19:14.000 Since March, his coverage of Israel has accelerated.
00:19:17.000 During that same period, Israel was the eighth most discussed topic on this show.
00:19:22.000 And again, we do daily politics on the show.
00:19:24.000 It's like out every single day.
00:19:26.000 That frequency was driven by events.
00:19:28.000 There were huge spikes around, say, like the June 2025 Israel Iran war and the February, March 2025 strikes on Iran, because that's what was in the news.
00:19:36.000 As daily listeners of the show know, outside of active military conflicts and news spikes, I don't talk about Israel all that much.
00:19:44.000 I talk about the stuff that's happening here in America, where I am a citizen and where I live.
00:19:48.000 During that same time period, January 2025 to March 2026, President Trump on this show received almost four times as much airtime as Israel.
00:19:58.000 Israel is a secondary topic.
00:20:00.000 On Tucker's show, he talked about Israel literally as much as he talked about President Trump, the president of the United States.
00:20:09.000 Well, because for Tucker Carlson, Israel is the boogeyman, and Israel supporters control American politics, including Republicans and also Trump, which is why Tucker wants the Republicans to lose.
00:20:09.000 Why is that?
00:20:19.000 It is why he says things like Trump is the Antichrist.
00:20:24.000 But there's been only one sustained effort to exterminate a faith, and that's the Christian faith.
00:20:32.000 Could that be part of it?
00:20:35.000 And is it possible that the president sees this not just in geostrategic terms and military terms and economic terms?
00:20:42.000 Got to open the straight.
00:20:43.000 Okay.
00:20:44.000 Is it possible the president sees this in bigger terms?
00:20:48.000 Sees this as the fulfillment of something or the elevation to some higher office beyond President of the United States?
00:20:57.000 That's entirely possible.
00:20:59.000 Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods.
00:21:05.000 And exalting himself above them.
00:21:08.000 Could this be the Antichrist?
00:21:10.000 Well, who knows?
00:21:11.000 I mean, literally on Friday, Tucker was urging that Trump be removed from office immediately.
00:21:20.000 The second any president actively considers first use of nuclear weapons, that person should be removed from office immediately.
00:21:28.000 Immediately.
00:21:29.000 Because that's got to be the red line, destroying all of humanity with a nuclear strike.
00:21:35.000 I mean, I. Like, so why isn't there an attempt to remove him from office?
00:21:39.000 Like, immediately.
00:21:41.000 Anyone who would even tolerate that kind of talk from any of his subordinates or employees is by definition unfit.
00:21:52.000 So, if we do poorly in the midterms, this is going to be a big part of it.
00:21:57.000 The bulk of the Republican Party is not where Tucker Carlson is.
00:22:00.000 When he chooses primary candidates, they lose, and they lose pretty badly.
00:22:03.000 James Fishbeck gets clocked, Thomas Massey is no longer going to be in Congress.
00:22:08.000 And voters do not like this stuff.
00:22:10.000 They don't.
00:22:12.000 There's a Harvard Harris poll that just came out that shows that pretty much across parties, nobody likes Hassan Piker and nobody likes Candace Owens, for example.
00:22:23.000 The extremists are not loved by the mainstream of even the people in their own parties.
00:22:28.000 Something like 72% of Democrats reject Hassan Piker compared to 79% of Republicans, and 73% of Republicans reject Candace Owens.
00:22:40.000 And 76% of Democrats reject Candace Owens.
00:22:42.000 So again, the mainstream of America is not with this kind of crazy.
00:22:46.000 But again, Tucker Carlson doesn't have to actually win inside the Republican Party.
00:22:51.000 All he has to do is get 10% of the GOP to follow him in not voting Republican.
00:22:56.000 That is, in a bunch of close races, the margin of victory.
00:23:00.000 And again, every single one of these Senate races in November is a margin of error race.
00:23:03.000 So when you put your thumb on the scale in favor of the Democrats, you are doing a thing.
00:23:08.000 Pretty obviously.
00:23:10.000 That is the goal of doing it.
00:23:14.000 Again, it doesn't take much to manipulate the American public when it comes to internet news and social media.
00:23:19.000 Some 38% of Americans, a plurality, get their information on news from social media, even though 55% of Americans believe that social media is being manipulated by foreign powers.
00:23:30.000 So, again, here is the whole thing Tucker wants Republicans to lose.
00:23:34.000 That is what he wants, it is his plan.
00:23:37.000 If Republicans lose, then he will blame the establishment, and then he will try to take control of the GOP.
00:23:42.000 So he is actively undermining Republicans in key races like Michigan and actively siding with pro-jihadi, anti-American pieces of filth like Abdul El-Sayed.
00:23:51.000 Because again, his entire agenda in politics has become his obsessive focus on the group he thinks is actually in control.
00:23:58.000 And his new coalition is built entirely around that conspiracy theory.
00:24:01.000 So he and El-Sayed, complete agreement on this matter.
00:24:04.000 He and Mom Dhani, complete and total agreement on this matter.
00:24:06.000 You can give a sh** if these people want to nationalize your business or trans your kids or destroy the American military.
00:24:11.000 So long as they agree with him, That there is a secret cabal of elders who resign who get together on Friday nights to figure out how American politics and foreign policy ought to run, they've got Tucker's stamp of approval.
00:24:21.000 So, a note to prominent elected Republicans who now and in the future keep hoping to win over Tucker Carlson.
00:24:29.000 Tucker has made his program extraordinarily clear.
00:24:33.000 If you wish to win him over, the only way to do so is to join him in his quacksotic quest to rip down the country on the basis of conspiratorial garbage.
00:24:42.000 You can do it, but you're doing it at your own peril.
00:24:45.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
