00:01:45.000You know, I would just say that if anybody thinks that this is a surprise, they have not been paying attention for the last, I mean, three years.
00:02:13.000If you look at who is voting for Donald Trump and coming out to these caucuses, and I'm sure all the other primaries, it is working-class voters.
00:02:20.000Look who voted for the other, for his opponents, Mickey Haley and the rest.
00:02:25.000Those are the folks who are the college-educated or advanced degrees, earn much more money.
00:02:33.000I mean, the folks who are, frankly, more of the elite.
00:02:35.000If you look at workaday voters, they are voting for Trump.
00:02:58.000It's right next door in shared values and shared worldview.
00:03:01.000The one area of Iowa, though, it's not dissimilar from Missouri, but it is the Mississippi River Corridor.
00:03:08.000This used to be, if it's on the eastern part of the state, we have a graphic up.
00:03:12.000This used to be traditionally old school union Democrat.
00:03:15.000These are folks that are in the muscular trades, especially in the quad cities.
00:03:20.000It's where John Deere is headquartered, a lot of tractors, a lot of folks that are in the agrarian type business.
00:03:27.000That Mississippi River corridor used to be reliably blue, and Obama won it and Trump flipped it.
00:03:32.000I'm sure it's similar trends you've seen in Missouri.
00:03:35.000And it seems as if that is a trend that is staying.
00:03:38.000However, Senator, I don't know if D.C. Republicans like this.
00:03:42.000Can you talk about how D.C. Republicans are not exactly thrilled about their newfound constituency?
00:03:48.000Oh, yeah, they're not thrilled at all.
00:03:50.000In fact, I think they're embarrassed by it.
00:03:52.000And if you look at the policies of the D.C. Republicans, it's the same old thing for the last 30 or 40 years that has threatened to put us in permanent minority status.
00:04:03.000It is giveaways to giant corporations that ship our jobs overseas, tax breaks to these corporations that would rather hire Chinese workers and pay them slave wages than hire American workers and pay them honest wages.
00:04:16.000It is bowing down to the woke corporations who now are forcing their social agenda.
00:04:21.000on this country after they have sold us out economically.
00:04:24.000You know, that has been, sadly, much of the Republican Party, at least the Republican establishment for 30, 40 years.
00:04:30.000Trump challenged that in 2016, and that's why he became the nominee.
00:04:34.000And that's why he is going to not only be the nominee, that's why he's going to be president again in the space of about 10 months of 11 months.
00:04:41.000And I think the Republican Party needs to wake up to this because we are now a working class party, and that's who we should be, Charlie.
00:04:49.000I mean, this is where the working people of this country are the heart of this country.
00:04:53.000They built this country, and the only kind of Republican Party worth having is a Republican Party of working people.
00:05:14.000So can you separate fact from fiction from what seems to be an awful, an insulting, and honestly almost a trolling immigration deal that is, and I put deal in quotes between Lankford and Schumer.
00:05:28.000And I want to, if there's anything that is not correct here, Senator, please correct me on air.
00:05:33.000I want the stickler for the truth here.
00:05:35.000But it seems as if the deal that is being negotiated would increase green cards and would allow 5,000 illegals into the country every single day.
00:05:45.000So they're acknowledging they could get it down from 12,000 to 5,000, but not 5,001 or 4,999.
00:05:56.000Is this close to the parameters that you're hearing in the Senate?
00:05:59.000Well, I have no idea what the specifics are because Charlie, none of us have, and I mean, none of us have been able to see a lick of text.
00:06:06.000I mean, nothing, which I think is by design.
00:06:09.000And listen, I'll just say that James Langford, who's a friend, I think James has been given an impossible job here by, frankly, Mitch McConnell.
00:06:15.000He's been told to go and negotiate something where he has no leeway to negotiate.
00:06:19.000And really, I mean, who's driving this bus is the White House and Chuck Schumer.
00:06:23.000And the border, they want the border open.
00:06:29.000And we were just talking about working people.
00:06:31.000I mean, is it going to be good for the working people of this country to flood the labor force in this country with more cheap labor, particularly illegal cheap labor?
00:06:40.000I mean, is that really going to be good for wages in this country?
00:06:43.000That's one of the reasons wages have been flat for 30 years is because there is too much cheap labor, too much, too many workers, many of them illegal, who are driving down the wages of hardworking Americans.
00:06:58.000And I certainly am not going to vote for something that increases the amount of cheap labor in the country.
00:07:04.000Yeah, and I don't, you know, Senator, there's so many different stories that I could talk about.
00:07:08.000But just here personally, you know, I had dealing with some family calamity stuff of people in the hospital.
00:07:14.000And I go to the hospital and they're saying, yeah, we've never seen it so packed before because there's illegals that are filling up the hospital and they have to treat them.
00:07:22.000Native born Americans are being made to wait in line for emergency medical services, Senator.
00:07:30.000These are people from the third world.
00:07:31.000They're from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
00:07:33.000And by the way, native-born Americans that have been here for 70 years and 80 years and paid their taxes that have U.S. passports sometimes get de-emphasized.
00:08:05.000And Joe Biden could get down to zero if he wanted to.
00:08:07.000We all know that the way to do it is to enforce the law.
00:08:10.000And this is why it makes me a little nervous, Charlie, every time the Democrats start saying, well, you know, we have an immigration law problem and we need to overhaul the immigration system.
00:08:33.000If you want to cross over and claim asylum in the United States, you're welcome to apply, but you've got to remain in Mexico or a safe third country while your asylum claims are being processed.
00:08:43.000You can't just come here, cross the border illegally, claim asylum, and then go who knows where and never show up again in court.
00:10:38.000Are you tired of progressive companies and exhausted trying to keep up with all the virtue signaling when you're simply just trying to buy products?
00:10:45.000Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.

00:12:31.000And this guy's been deployed by the turtle to go negotiate with Chuck Yushumer.
00:12:36.000Now, this is the alleged leak framework of the deal.
00:12:39.000Now, Senator Lankford says that this is not totally true.
00:12:42.000And he says that, oh, you know, it takes a lie that goes around the world before, you know, the truth has time to put its pants on, you know, that quote that you've heard.
00:12:50.000And so then we responded, okay, well, what's the truth, Senator Lankford?
00:12:56.000Senator Hawley hasn't even seen this deal.
00:12:59.000So here is the current parameter that is being reported.
00:13:03.000And if it's not true, Senator Lankford, then publish the text.
00:13:08.000So Chuck Yushumer and Senator Lankford, who is, and one thing that really bothers me about Senator Lankford is he's been deployed by the turtle for what reason?
00:13:18.000Why would the turtle choose Senator Lankford?
00:13:22.000Because he just won re-election and he's six years out from any check and balance from the people.
00:13:27.000And he's from the reddest of red states.
00:13:30.000So it's just take advantage of the most conservative state, the most comfortable place that is far away from any sort of election consequence.
00:14:40.000And so isn't it interesting that the reddest states have the squishiest people?
00:14:45.000Of course, because they take advantage of their voters.
00:14:47.000Competition is a good thing, everybody.
00:14:49.000Sometimes it's good to have to win over voters and win over primaries.
00:14:53.000And Senator Lankford takes advantage of the great people of Oklahoma.
00:14:56.000No, I'm not going to go the step further and say that he's a fake Christian and all that.
00:15:00.000I do have questions about how devout of a Christian he is, considering he quotes Bible verses en masse and he allows the raping of women on southern borders and he won't tell us the truth.
00:15:19.000However, I'll put that aside for a second, okay?
00:15:22.000Senator Lankford's border quote-unquote deal, as currently reported by Foxnews.com, would increase the amount of green cards by $50,000 a year.
00:15:33.000It would institutionalize the illegal takeover.
00:15:37.000And this, immediate work permits to every illegal alien released from custody.
00:15:42.000We're going to give work permits to illegals.
00:15:46.000So we're going to reward the lawbreaking.
00:15:49.000You can come into our schools, come into our hospitals, come into our communities.
00:19:45.000You can explain your wonderful dealings with Chuck Hugheschumer.
00:19:48.000You can explain your great belief in the Bible and Christianity and tell us where in the scriptures it says that we should have open borders and the raping of women and fentanyl in our communities and the overrunning of our schools and hospitals and why you lied to the voters of Oklahoma.
00:20:00.000You can show me the scripture where it says, I shall lie when I run for election.
00:20:04.000I'd love to hear that, Senator Langford.
00:20:05.000You're welcome on the program anytime.
00:20:54.000Trump goes into Iowa, gets a majority in a crowded primary.
00:20:58.000And I think we're at the point now where we should stop pretending that we actually have a primary going on and understand Trump's going to be the nominee.
00:21:09.000And get to the actual general election because the longer we spend in the primary, the less time we spend as a party unified beating up Joe Biden.
00:21:16.000So, Sean, you've been covering this really well at the Federalists.
00:22:46.000If you're reading a script from somebody, Nikki Haley comes up and after taking third place, she says, I can safely say tonight Iowa made this Republican Party a two-person race.
00:23:59.000Well, I think it's that neocon math that's striking again, that if you just give Zelensky a quarter of a trillion dollars, he'll beat Russia.
00:24:06.000And that if, you know, we spend 20 years in Afghanistan, we'll win.
00:24:09.000Like, are we really surprised that Nikki Haley got that wrong?
00:24:16.000And I agree, I do want a different generation of conservative leader.
00:24:19.000I don't want the generation that led us into, you know, two awful, disastrous, pointless wars that gave us not just Barack Obama, but gave us Joe Biden.
00:24:28.000So yeah, I think Nikki Haley is right.
00:24:30.000I think we don't want that stay-on-neocon GOP leadership of the past, you know, 20 years in office, which means she's disqualified.
00:25:20.000If we are worried about the rise of authoritarianism in this country, we are worried about potential rise of fascism in this country.
00:25:26.000If we're worried about our democracy falling to an authoritarian and potentially fascist form of government, the leader who is trying to do that is part of that equation.
00:25:37.000But people wanting that is a much bigger part of that equation.
00:25:40.000But once you have radicalized one major party so that those are the preferences of the people who adhere to your party, the leaders interchangeable.
00:25:48.000And yes, Trumpism is sometimes what we call it.
00:25:51.000MAGA movement is probably a better way to do it.
00:25:53.000But there is an authoritarian movement inside Republican politics that isn't being bamboozled by Trump.
00:25:59.000They are pushing Trump to get more and more extreme because the more extreme things he says, the more they adhere to him.
00:26:17.000Well, first off, I loved Joy Reed's Donald Trump wig.
00:26:20.000I thought it was a weird choice for her as much as she hates him to put the Trump wig on for his big victory in Iowa, but props to her, I guess.
00:26:29.000Good job trying to pull off the Trump joy.
00:26:33.000This has been happening, I think, since before the midterms, where Joe Biden gave that crazy demonic speech with the troops, like with his shock troops in the background, with the creepy red lighting.
00:26:45.000And they're clearly all in on this fascist authoritarian thing, which I find crazy because it's not Republicans trying to put their voters' opponents in prison.
00:26:56.000It's not Republicans trying to put their top political leaders opponent in prison.
00:27:01.000It's not Republicans trying to shut down free speech.
00:27:04.000It's not Republicans trying to take away your right to defend yourself.
00:27:08.000This is all being done by the Democrats.
00:27:09.000And for them to throw around the F word of fascism, when you have literal fascism with the state working with media outlets and with the tech oligarchy to shut down their opponents, that's actual fascism.
00:27:26.000They're projecting, but at the same time, they decided, and I don't know whether it's because they've got good polling data or when your record is as bad as Joe Biden's is, you really have nothing to do but call your opponent Hitler.
00:27:39.000But that's clearly their strategy going in.
00:27:41.000They're just going to call him Hitler.
00:27:43.000And don't you wish you could go back in time and get rid of Hitler?
00:27:55.000It is the most authoritarian, fascist, insanely anti-democratic strategy we have ever seen in American political history.
00:28:03.000Sean, I want you to riff just, you know, Vivek Ramasamy has dropped out of the race.
00:28:07.000What do you think his contribution meant to the movement, shifting the Overton window amongst kind of more the intelligentsia of the conservative movement?
00:28:16.000How should we think about Vivek Ramaswamy's presidential run?
00:28:19.000To me, he was the most interesting candidate in there who wasn't Trump because he was actually saying the things that we all know are true that for some reason, none of the other candidates would say.
00:28:30.000In hindsight, Vivek was running the campaign that Ronda Sandis should have run instead of stupidly trying to take Trump head on and thinking that was going to work out well for him.
00:28:39.000I love that Vivek was tearing down the COVID nonsense, that he was tearing down the FBI nonsense, that he called out J6 for what it was, which was not an insurrection at all.
00:28:54.000So I think he did great work talking about things that the media doesn't want anyone on the right talking about.
00:28:59.000And I hope going forward, he will continue to do what he was doing, which is talking about issues that the establishment never wants us to talk about because it makes them look stupid and corrupt and incompetent.

00:31:33.000It's one of the tragedies of the modern American political reality: that the reddest states, the people that want what's best for the country, they don't have a party that shares their values.
00:32:11.000The masses are complaining about the border.
00:32:15.000And I'm afraid that if we don't pretend to do something on the border, then the uppity pimp in the t-shirt in Kiev won't get another $250 billion, right?
00:32:26.000Because the number one priority for the turtle is the war between Ukraine and Russia.
00:32:33.000It is the number one priority for the turtle.
00:32:36.000Most important thing happening in the world, according to Senator McConnell, is Ukraine-Russia.
00:32:41.000So the only reason, the only reason why he is deploying somebody to even try to talk about the border is that it might interfere the money flow going to Ukraine.
00:32:51.000So McConnell looks through his roster and he says, okay, who can I deploy to quote-unquote negotiate?
00:32:56.000By the way, Lankford is nothing more than a proxy of the turtle.
00:32:59.000Everything Lankford is doing, he's back channeling with McConnell.
00:34:45.000McConnell says, okay, who's the furthest away from the voters in the reddest state possible who's loyal to me that can go and do exactly what I want to do, but I myself don't want to do this because I'm actually going to have to face the voters soon, which McConnell fears.
00:34:55.000So he deploys Lankford into Oklahoma, from Oklahoma, into the room.
00:35:01.000And again, he goes through all the other people that very well could have been negotiating.
