00:00:05.000Same as Nick Fuentes, same as Candace Owens, same as Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:00:08.000For a long time, I've been talking about ideological borders for conservatives because words have meanings and political movements must have borders.
00:00:17.000Well, it turns out the illegal immigrant Republicans are self-deporting, which is a good thing because what we don't need here are people who won't assimilate to our culture or our values and who would like our enemies to win.
00:00:39.000So, a lot of people have noticed that I've been very critical of the vice president and the way that he is negotiating with Iran.
00:00:45.000And we'll get to that much later in the show.
00:00:46.000But recently, he was on Megyn Kelly's show in order to trot out his defense of the Iran deal.
00:00:52.000And he said something that was kind of interesting, the vice president.
00:00:55.000He said that even if you disagree with the administration, you should stay in the coalition, even if you disagree, because you should vote Republican and not Democrat, because the alternative is to put the Democrats in power.
00:01:20.000And the reason why neocons are so much more effective in politics than the people on the other side in our coalition is because they play the game.
00:01:31.000They get disappointed, they make their criticisms, and they go back and they live to fight another day.
00:01:36.000Right now, right now, we need everybody who recognizes that this is a good deal for the American people and that we don't want.
00:01:44.000Like John Podowitz is saying, hundreds of thousands of ground troops in Iran, make your voice heard.
00:01:49.000This is where you've got to participate in the process.
00:01:51.000Disagree when you disagree, agree when you agree.
00:01:54.000But I don't like this idea of the president did something I didn't like, so I'm out.
00:02:00.000I think it's a very immature way to approach the political process.
00:02:23.000But put aside all of the nonsense that the vice president is peddling there about how we really need a bunch of people who love the Iran deal to stay in because otherwise the neocons are going to win and all the rest of it.
00:02:33.000Here's the thing I strenuously disagree with the administration's policy on Iran right now.
00:02:38.000I'm not leaving because the alternative would be for the Democrats to win.
00:02:41.000But the whole point of what so many people on the horseshoe right are doing, the woke right, what they are doing right now is they are basically attempting to destroy the Republican Party from within.
00:02:53.000To throw their support to somebody else in order to get the Republican Party to run after them, to run after them screaming.
00:03:01.000Well, you know, I'm okay with people who are rabidly anti American leaving the party.
00:03:09.000I think that if you came into the Republican Party because you're a refugee from your home party or from your home ideology, and we brought you in here as a kindness, and then you proceeded to take advantage of our system, you proceeded to believe that we were going to change all of our principles for you.
00:03:29.000Well, Tucker Carlson is now self deporting from the Republican Party.
00:03:33.000He's very upset with the administration because the administration is not pro Russia or pro Iran enough for him.
00:03:40.000And so yesterday he announced on the can't be censored pod.
00:03:44.000I have to admit, I find it somewhat hilarious that there are podcasts that claim that they are, quote unquote, being censored while having sizable audiences.
00:03:54.000People not liking your podcast doesn't mean you're being censored.
00:04:22.000But at this point, how could you support, how could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States?
00:04:30.000That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens.
00:04:33.000Like, that's, you know, it's not possible to vote for people like that.
00:04:45.000I've been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican party.
00:04:51.000I mean, very consistent defender, but there's no defending this because it's immoral.
00:04:55.000And it's exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation.
00:05:08.000And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out.
00:05:12.000So, I mean, first of all, Tucker says he's been a Republican for 35 years.
00:05:15.000That's weird because he was a registered Democrat from 2006 to 2020.
00:05:19.000He said he did that so he could vote for the Democrats in primaries and manipulate the system, except that Washington, D.C., which is where he was living, has a closed primary system.
00:05:32.000And as Michael Knowles, who is celebrating his 2000th episode today, by the way, you should go listen to his show.
00:05:38.000Michael Knowles is making this point on his show.
00:05:41.000The Republican Party has gotten more conservative in a wide variety of ways and more big government in a wide variety of other ways, actually, over time.
00:05:50.000And when it comes to America's foreign policy, America has grown less interventionist over time.
00:05:56.000So it's kind of strange that now is the moment that Tucker picks, but I guess that speaks to his principles and not really to the Republican Party.
00:06:02.000But here's the thing about Tucker Carlson.
00:06:04.000Tucker Carlson's political views have moved all over the map.
00:06:07.000If you watch Tucker Carlson in 1999, he's condemning Tucker Carlson in 2026.
00:06:11.000If you watch Tucker Carlson in 2004, 2005, he is just a normie Republican.
00:06:16.000And if you watch Tucker Carlson today, he's a wild eyed conspiracy theorist with a lot of thoughts about the Jews.
00:06:21.000So I'm pretty sure that it's not about the Republican Party moving away from Tucker Carlson.
00:06:25.000I'm pretty sure it's about Tucker Carlson moving away from the Republican Party.
00:06:29.000Again, he has spent the last few months since Charlie Kirk's murder fulminating over whether, in fact, the nefarious Jews were involved, the Hummus eaters, and having on every anti Semite he can find on his program, and theorizing that the President of the United States is run by Israel.
00:06:46.000And also suggesting, of course, that some of the world's most extraordinary leftists, like Graham Plattner and Zoram Amdani, are all totally fine.
00:06:52.000So I'm not sure where the space is for you inside the Republican Party.
00:06:56.000So I guess I'm glad that he is finally just giving up the ghost rather than pretending that the entire Republican Party must move over to his side.
00:07:03.000But understand tactically what he's doing.
00:07:05.000Tactically, what Tucker Carlson is attempting to do is basically leverage the Republican Party into following him.
00:07:10.000Instead of trying to convince within the tent, instead of trying to make his case, what he's essentially threatening to do is overturn the apple cart and then walk out the door.
00:07:19.000And hope that, say, Vice President JD Vance, with whom he is personally close, will come back in with Tucker arm in arm and then cram down Tucker's views on the rest of the party.
00:07:52.000See, a party is supposed to be a receptacle for votes.
00:07:55.000It is not supposed to change its fundamental principles in pursuit of those votes.
00:07:59.000And if people wish to leave because they don't like the fundamental principles of that party, well, then it's a free country and they can.
00:08:05.000We should also point out that if the party does poorly in the midterms, it's very difficult to blame the people who voted for the party rather than the people who walked out the door because the party wasn't pro Iran or pro Russia or weak enough with regard to foreign policy.
00:08:19.000Again, the Republican Party has traditionally been pretty anti Iran and anti Russia.
00:08:24.000It's Tucker Carlson who's changed his principles.
00:08:26.000Listen, if the Republican Party will not support Vladimir Putin's aspirations in Ukraine, and if the Republican Party will not sing the glories of Russian bread and Russian subways and Russian hamburgers, if the Republican Party will not bend over for Qatar completely, if the Republican Party refuses to just cheer on the Iranians as they foster terrorism throughout the region, what are we even doing here?
00:08:47.000Again, I'm perfectly fine with illegal immigrant Republicans self deporting.
00:09:00.000Even TPUSA, which again, TPUSA has been very warm to Tucker.
00:09:04.000TPUSA has invited him very prominently to a wide variety of their events.
00:09:09.000They had him host alongside JD Vance, Charlie Kirk's show the week after Charlie's death.
00:09:15.000Here is Tucker trying to get the actual alleged murderer of Charlie Kirk off the hook so that he can rip on Israel or the Jews or something.
00:09:25.000And he was not murdered for his opinions on transgenderism.
00:09:30.000Obviously, he was, I believe, and most people who knew him well, as I did and was friends with him, as I was, believe he was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel.
00:09:50.000And I always say that because it's a fact.
00:09:52.000I have been wrong a lot and I may be wrong now, but I am sincere.
00:09:56.000I'm saying what I believe is true and I'm going to continue doing that no matter what.
00:10:00.000Well, no matter, no matter, no matter what comes, he will say crazy things.
00:10:03.000By the way, Blake Neff over at TPUSA points out that that's not true and that the people who are closest with Charlie full on believe that Charlie was murdered by the trans loving gay man because that's what all the evidence points to.
00:10:17.000But Tucker's out and so is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:10:28.000There is a lot of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country.
00:10:34.000That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either, but we are done with the America last Republican Party.
00:10:39.000So I would just like to point out if the Republicans don't do well in the midterms, it might have something to do with all of these erstwhile pseudo Republicans who are leaving.
00:10:50.000And again, Megyn Kelly telling JD Vance how she's never believed that she should just leave because she's upset over what the Republicans are doing.
00:10:56.000Literally two weeks ago, she was with Sean Ryan talking about forming a horseshoe coalition with Anna Kasparian, a lady who literally tweeted this week in support of terrorism.
00:11:08.000The line between left and right is merging.
00:11:11.000You know, like there's something rising out of the middle of that that is.
00:11:23.000People think of me as a Republican, but I haven't been a Republican in over 20 years.
00:11:27.000I was a registered Democrat when I was fresh out of school, and then I was a registered Republican for a few years when I was like right around when I joined Fox News.
00:11:37.000And then I quickly realized, like, I don't want to wear either of these team jerseys.
00:12:06.000But perhaps you also should not be the lodestar of a new Republican Party.
00:12:11.000Because building around the people who are going to leave over the fact that the administration bombed Iran and are so unhappy that even when JD Vance, a man who many of them are deeply personally and politically allied with, is running the show with regard to Iran policy, and they're still leaving, I mean, okay, I suppose you can do that.
00:12:31.000I'm just going to point out that self deportation is, in fact, a fine policy when it comes to people who joined up for the wrong reasons in the first place.
00:12:39.000All right, coming up, there are some people who don't like America so much, and then.
00:12:42.000There are the people who love America.
00:12:44.000We'll get into some unique stories on that front in a moment.
00:12:46.000First, every generation of Americans inherits something precious.
00:12:50.000The freedoms we enjoy, the opportunities we pursue, those things were preserved by people willing to sacrifice on behalf of others.
00:12:55.000Men and women who put on a uniform and answered the call when their country needed them.
00:12:58.000As America approaches its 250th birthday, that's worth remembering.
00:13:02.000It's also why Pure Talk is partnering with America's Warrior Partnership to raise $250,000 for veterans by the end of July.
00:13:08.000America's Warrior Partnership is on the front lines of preventing veterans suicide by helping veterans access housing, transportation, counseling, VA benefits, and other essential services.
00:13:16.000They focus on practical support that helps veterans build stable, successful lives after service.
00:13:22.000When you switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk, you'll have the opportunity to round up your bill in support of America's Warrior Partnership.
00:13:28.000Pure Talk will match donations until they reach $250,000.
00:13:31.000So you'll be supporting veterans while getting unlimited talk, unlimited text, and unlimited high speed data for just $34.99 a month, a fraction of what the major carriers charge.
00:13:39.000As we celebrate 250 years of American freedom, let's make sure we're standing behind the people who helped defend it.
00:13:45.000Go to puretalk.comslashapiro to make the switch over to Pure Talk.
00:13:50.000To switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company, Pure Talk.
00:13:54.000Patriotism isn't just something you feel on the 4th of July.
00:13:56.000It's how you choose to support the people who've served this country when they come home.
00:13:59.000You can help out by joining Pure Talk.
00:14:01.000Well, to understand what's happening there, there are a bunch of people who are very pro America, but they seem to be coming from abroad more often these days.
00:14:07.000I'll explain in a second with Lyndon Blake.
00:14:10.000She's our investigative reporter here at the Daily Wire with our phone a friend segment sponsored by our friends over at Pure Talk.
00:14:16.000Make sure to go to puretalk.comslashapiro to make the switch to Pure Talk again.
00:14:37.000But apparently, it is difficult for some people.
00:14:39.000A lot of people are very upset with the United States these days.
00:14:42.000But here, for example, we had a Daily Wire video that we did that showed that Americans are much more down on the USA than the Europeans who are visiting America, who it turns out really, really like it here.
00:14:51.000So I wanted to get your reaction to this video.
00:14:55.000I thighs every now and then I fall apart So honestly,
00:15:19.000it reminds me when I was like 15 years old, I went to Europe for the first time.
00:15:26.000And I remember I was thinking, get me back to America where I can get an O'Charlie's yeast roll with some hot butter and some silverware and ice in my water.
00:15:35.000It was just the simple things in life.
00:15:37.000And that's what we see with these World Cup fans coming over to America.
00:15:42.000They're enjoying the simple things in life like Waffle House.
00:15:45.000When's the last time you went to Waffle House?
00:15:47.000And ordered the all star special and thought about how lucky you were to be sitting there cutting open that nice warm waffle, not a Belgium waffle that can sometimes not be, you know, as savory as a Waffle House waffle.
00:16:14.000You've seen all of these Europeans who are coming over here and a lot of them have gone viral going around the United States just.
00:16:20.000Shocked at, for example, the fact that we have houses here, like not just apartments, like really, really nice houses in places like, you know, romantic places like Tallahassee.
00:16:28.000Seriously, you're seeing videos of people driving through Tallahassee, like, look at this amazing place, Tallahassee.
00:16:32.000And all of us over here are like, yeah, I mean, it's Tallahassee.
00:16:35.000So like cool and everything, I suppose.
00:16:39.000Like America, we don't even appreciate what we have.
00:16:41.000If you ever visit Europe during the summer, there's a reason that every single summer, tens of thousands of people die in heat waves in Europe because they don't use air conditioning.
00:17:08.000But yeah, to your point, Ben, I mean, you had Freddie, who I think at this point, he's the most viral tourist right now, got the invite to the White House.
00:17:16.000He's on his way to Boston right now to watch Germany play.
00:17:21.000In my neck of the woods down in Georgia and Alabama, went to my alma mater, Auburn, and he was just freaking out about the Chattahoochee River, like what Alan Jackson sings about.
00:17:33.000And I'm like, yeah, I got tubed down the Chattahoochee, big whoop.
00:17:36.000And he's like, this is the best thing ever.
00:18:00.000And to your point, I was out in California last week in Santa Barbara looking around at the mountains and the beach and the cliffs and all that.
00:18:08.000And I was like, wow, this feels like we're in a different country, not for the reasons we joke about with the Daily Wire, but just like the scenic reasons.
00:18:15.000Like it looks so different than Tennessee.
00:18:18.000And how lucky are we to have a country this big with so much landmarks and diversity?
00:19:00.000More protein, less protein, cut the carbs, add the carbs.
00:19:02.000At a certain point, most people aren't suffering from lack of information.
00:19:05.000You're just suffering from lack of time because the reality is that even when you know what you should be doing, life gets pretty busy.
00:19:10.000That's one of the reasons I like Balance of Nature.
00:19:12.000They make it easier to get more of the fruits, more of the veggies, and more of the fiber and whole food ingredients that many of us could use more of in our daily routines.
00:19:26.000Their whole health system is made from real fruits, veggies, spices, fiber.
00:19:29.000It's become a regular part of my routine.
00:19:31.000It's also become pretty popular around those Daily Wire offices.
00:19:34.000So, they also, by the way, have a bunch of stuff like freeze dried snacks, convenient, easy to take anywhere.
00:19:37.000The kids love them, make a snack time a lot simpler.
00:19:40.000If you've heard me talk about Balance of Nature before, but you haven't checked out all that stuff yet, now would be the moment.
00:19:55.000So apparently, there was controversy that broke out over American style halftime shows that are now being implemented in the middle of the World Cup, which, again, like this is great.
00:20:04.000America putting our stamp on the World Cup by basically being like, we're just going to have a musical act in the middle of the soccer match.
00:20:40.000I think people are upset, and I'm pretty sure there's some countries not airing the halftime show because they want to keep it very traditional.
00:20:46.000The soccer, the football, and they want to analyze the game.
00:20:50.000But of course, we have the Super Bowl.
00:20:52.000Super Bowl halftime show is what it's supposed to be, you know, the biggest honor.
00:20:56.000It's supposed to be family friendly, you know, sometimes it's not, but it's supposed to be this big celebration, and they're trying to put their little spin on it.
00:21:02.000And then you have BTS, which is K pop.
00:21:34.000Go watch someone's analytics on X during the halftime show if you want to see that soccer stuff.
00:21:40.000I mean, I probably will be doing that because that's how I feel like I know what I'm talking about when I, you know, cheer for America and act like I've been watching Team USA play soccer every single day for the last four years.
00:21:54.000President Trump should definitely authorize a Blue Angels and B2 flyover of every single World Cup game, just to remind everybody that we could theoretically hit them at pretty much any time.
00:22:03.000That America, not only do we build things bigger and better here, but also our military is just the best.
00:22:09.000Well, Lyndon Blake, really appreciate the time and the insight.
00:22:12.000And, you know, the pick me up, because there's so many things to be down about these days.
00:22:16.000Everybody's very upset about a reflecting pool.
00:22:18.000But it's good to remind people that actually America is kind of awesome.
00:22:22.000The reflecting pool thing is, oh my gosh.
00:22:25.000Our Uber driver in California, I've never, I'm going to, you may have to cut this.
00:22:29.000I've never ridden with an Uber driver that came off as high as this guy.
00:22:47.000Well, as I've been saying, that is the best, I think, the best evidence that America is amazing is that random Uber drivers are very, very worried about a pool they will never visit 1,000 or 2,000 miles away.
00:22:57.000That is, If that's your chief issue in life, that means you have no real other problems in your life because, I mean, really, come on.
00:23:02.000Well, Lyndon Blake, thanks so much for taking the time.
