00:02:01.000We have reported how on Britain they have people running for parliament in Britain whose main issue is Palestine and basically promoting Islamic radicalism.
00:02:14.000Now we have that in the United States.
00:02:16.000A state Senate seat in New York elected a person whose platform is basically, I'm going to speak for Palestine.
00:03:05.000She's against all deportations, even for criminals.
00:03:09.000She wants to seize private property, nationalize industries, wiping her hands on the American flag as violent excrement, and questioning if Israel has the right to exist.
00:03:55.000So that's another, that's New York's 7th district, Claire Valdez.
00:03:59.000She's a full DSA union radical, state assembly member, proud Democrat socialist, labor organizer.
00:04:08.000She wants to abolish ICE, give voting rights and citizenships to all illegals.
00:04:13.000She wants to fund transgender treatments on taxpayers' dime.
00:04:17.000She wants to push Medicare for all, kill private insurance.
00:04:20.000She's all in on taxing the rich to oblivion, by the way.
00:04:25.000I don't know what rich people are going to be left in this city.
00:04:28.000Well, it's funny we say that because that is who is voting for this.
00:04:31.000If you look at the numbers in New York, The old, just traditionally black or Hispanic working class bases of the party are not voting in favor of this.
00:04:42.000The reason these candidates are winning is young, college educated people who've moved to New York and rich, young, rich, young, and middle aged progressives, far left progressives.
00:05:08.000It's not that they're becoming more moderate.
00:05:10.000It's that it's actually becoming much more willing to vote for what Rob Henderson might call luxury beliefs.
00:05:17.000That these people, who frankly are bigger winners from the U.S. economy than most, are voting in favor of radical, burn it all down socialism.
00:05:43.000So they picked a Jew to beat a Jew, except this Jew doesn't support military aid to Israel, prioritizes social spending, and aligns with Mamdani's machine in a big way.
00:05:56.000This is a Manhattan slash Brooklyn seat.
00:06:00.000And so, you know, he's all about the DSA, big government handouts, more free stuff, taxing the productive members of society into oblivion, seizing the means of production, the whole bit.
00:06:16.000So, another triumph of ideology over reality.
00:06:20.000Cozy up with the radicals who think your tax dollars should subsidize failure, lack of productivity, laziness.
00:06:29.000But that's, I mean, this is the New York, right?
00:06:31.000And we haven't even gotten to Aberclaw.
00:06:35.000Aberclaw, that's the state senate leader, and she's basically, actually, we have video of her.
00:06:49.000And finding that the system of capitalism and racism and white supremacy, et cetera, and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people.
00:07:07.000And we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9-11.
00:07:11.000And so a lot of times when people are asking us to respond about attack, if you look back historically, You know, a lot of us come from lands that were colonized, lands where wars are being waged, right?
00:07:25.000A lot of times because of U.S. policy or the policies in Europe.
00:07:29.000And so I find that we can connect over that, but then also that the idea that we have to apologize for like a terror attack that like a couple people did, and then there is no apologies or reparations for genocides and for slavery.
00:08:04.000That is the person running for Senate.
00:08:06.000If you weren't able to see the video there, we also had an image next to it where she was holding up a green headband.
00:08:12.000I'm told that is a Hamas fighter headband, like the ones that they would be probably wearing during the 10 7 attacks, many other terrorist operations.
00:08:22.000That is now a person headed to a safe seat in the New York State Senate.
00:08:27.000Well, and Amber Kwas is apparently, she's born and raised in New York to Palestinian refugee immigrant parents.
00:08:40.000She's a very proud Democrat socialist, community organizer, which is just code for radical Marxist, vocal pro Palestinian activist, as you just heard.
00:08:49.000She is the first Palestinian Muslim woman elected to the New York State Senate.
00:08:55.000She's in the primary at this point, but.
00:09:27.000We put our hands on them and said, yes, you are part of us now.
00:09:31.000Foreigners that do not represent American values, not the founders' values, not traditional American values, not Christian values by any means.
00:09:58.000The fork in the road is very clear because when you see what's happening in New York, a place that used to be considered America's.
00:10:06.000Best city, most important city, the city that embodied the spirit of America the most, being taken over by a foreign ideology, radicals often born in far flung places.
00:10:21.000You realize that that is a really true thing that Charlie said because we have one is going to be some tough medicine, but we're going to get through it.
00:10:31.000We're going to see the reemergence, the reindustrialization, the greatness of America reemerge.
00:10:36.000The other is going to be something completely different.
00:10:39.000And foreign and awful socialist experiments that have been tried all over the world and have failed everywhere.
00:10:45.000I mean, that is that's really the important combination and why we talked about that socialist Muslim axis.
00:10:52.000It's not that red, green, it's not even the red, green axis.
00:10:54.000It's not even that Islam is a particularly socialist religion.
00:10:58.000In fact, I'd guess a lot of these Muslims are not particularly Muslim, much like Zorhan Mamdani.
00:11:04.000Zorhan Mamdani is a guy who'll say inshallah, he'll say Allahu Akbar, he'll kind of wear it performatively as.
00:11:11.000An outfit, but he's clearly not a guy who's passionate about the teachings of the Quran.
00:11:17.000But what it is, is it's essentially a great shorthand way of saying, I am not American in the traditional way.
00:11:24.000I reject the traditional values of America.
00:11:28.000I embrace this third world immigrant anti Western religion.
00:11:32.000The reason there's a red green axis is they're both just anti West, anti American.
00:11:38.000Why wouldn't we just team these together?
00:11:40.000It's a nice blunt way of saying, I support the dissolution of Western civilization.
00:11:45.000Well, and by the way, to your point, I think nobody embodies this red-green axis more than Chevalier.
00:11:59.000This is a clip of her before she became a Muslim, and she's describing herself that she operates within the black queer feminist lens, okay?
00:12:09.000This is before she converted or whatever.
00:12:13.000We chose to tackle the issue of permanent exclusion for many reasons.
00:12:16.000As folks who operate within the black queer feminist lens, We know that the most marginalized should always be at the center of our work.
00:12:23.000And we see this as part of our ongoing work to end broken windows policing, which criminalizes poor communities of color for merely existing.
00:12:31.000Oh, you mean it actually criminalizes criminality?
00:12:44.000Actually, the friend who pushed me to do it asked me, Why have you fasted for four years and yet you haven't taken your Shahada?
00:12:50.000When she asked me that, I thought, That is a great question.
00:12:54.000And I thought for myself why I hadn't taken the step yet.
00:12:58.000But it was seeing how all of my friends who were showing up to organizing, who are Muslim, were showing up in the space and the grace and love and passion that they had in these spaces of social justice that really pushed me to join the faith.
00:13:16.000And wanting to make sure that we are reflecting that, that I'm reflecting that in every space that I'm in, and that, inshallah, if we make it to Congress, that we're reflecting that.
00:13:44.000She can say, actually, Muhammad, the warlord who married a six year old, he had it the right way.
00:13:50.000And that's the new cause I'm going to hit you up.
00:13:53.000By the way, anybody that is against colonialism, whatever the hell that is, and then.
00:14:00.000Converts to Islam, like they were the original colonialists.
00:14:04.000I mean, look at their conquering history throughout Northern Africa, the Middle East, Southern Europe.
00:14:11.000Just saying, a little bit of a Hippocratic gesture.
00:14:13.000Just the fact that they're basically just colonizing America today because there are 55, 56 Muslim majority countries out there and none of them are really worth living in, it turns out.
00:14:24.000They are the actual colonialists and they're trying to conquer the West.
00:14:37.000They're going to be in positions of power.
00:14:39.000They're going to bring over their family members and they're going to keep coming an endless stream of foreigners with foreign ideology, a foreign conquering cult religion.
00:15:23.000By the way, if he eats rice with his hands, whether he means it or not, he's either authentically gross or he's being a fake, disgusting person.
00:15:30.000And in some of the comments of a TikTok video I made, people said, but Charlie, who are you to judge other cultures?
00:17:33.000You know, I'm jealous because you are far removed from the stench of New York City in your undisclosed location in a beautiful state that I'm jealous of.
00:17:43.000But nevertheless, you have been opining on this.
00:17:46.000You despise Mamdani, but you are giving some begrudging respect.
00:17:59.000Something that's just incredibly rare in politics, which is he both had the perceptiveness to kind of know where he could get wins.
00:18:09.000And then he had the boldness to push for those wins, even if he made a bunch of power brokers in his own party happy.
00:18:15.000And I mean, obviously, I hate the radical ideology that he is expounding, but I think he gets a great deal of credit for kind of understanding where the movement in his party is going.
00:19:50.000I mean, they've been sort of pushing the elites, the quote unquote intellectual elites of the Democrat Party, this abundance liberalism idea, which is this kind of techno wonkery.
00:20:00.000And then we actually had an election, and no, it was really just about who could hate Israel the most.
00:20:05.000I mean, that's what really determined it in all three of these elections in many ways.
00:20:10.000I mean, there were other issues at part.
00:20:12.000Now, I mean, that's totally crazy, right?
00:20:16.000Israel should not be the central issue for anybody pro or con in America, but it's sort of indicative of some of the radicalism that has overtaken the party that kind of that was probably the central issue in all three of these races.
00:20:31.000Yeah, and that is, I mean, you mentioned in your tweet that AIPAC, anything to do with that, Dan Goldman was, I think, denied service.
00:20:40.000Dan Goldman is no, you know, establishment.
00:20:43.000The guy is a radical and he's a total douche.
00:20:48.000Easily a very hateable person, and yet this guy who has been like a dog with a bone trying to get Trump for however many years, even that's not enough anymore.
00:20:58.000They want seizure of the means of production, they want, yeah, anti ice abolish ice, abolish the police.
00:21:42.000I feel like Democrats in Washington are realizing their brand of the party is dying.
00:21:47.000And while that's a little satisfying to see, It's also scary, Jeremy, because we have gotten by on there being Democrats who they like holding power.
00:21:56.000They like not killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
00:21:59.000And now we have to deal with radical socialists who might blow up the whole country.
00:22:04.000And if you think that's impossible, go look at Britain.
00:22:43.000And I think the business communities, um, that have sort of aligned with the Democrat Party have got to be having a little bit of buyer's remorse at this point.
00:22:53.000Yeah, I mean, it's been very interesting watching.
00:22:56.000The more establishment Dem reaction to this.
00:22:59.000And I think it's going in one of two ways.
00:23:03.000You got Joe Scarborough, who's in complete denialism, cut 28.
00:23:07.000I believe the Democratic Party overall is going too hard left.
00:23:11.000I believe there is anti Semitism in there.
00:24:29.000The Democratic Socialists of America have a higher net favoring than the Democratic Party does, at least those who are members of Congress.
00:24:36.000I mean, just take a look here Dem Socialists of America plus 17 points, Democrats in Congress plus 4 points.
00:24:42.000No wonder that Dem Socialists are getting nominated across the political map.
00:24:46.000In different primaries, because simply put, they are more popular than the Democrats currently in charge.
00:24:51.000Match up socialism, capitalism among Democrats.
00:24:55.000You go back 16 years ago, 2010, capitalism and socialism right there, favorable rating 51%, 50%.
00:25:02.000Socialism clearly in the lead among Democrats.
00:25:05.00066% of them view socialism favorably, just 42% view capitalism favorably.
00:25:10.000No wonder Mamdani had no problem blasting it.
00:25:12.000I think that clip is interesting, Jeremy, because it gets to root causes.
00:25:17.000And We have to be honest about the fact that for a lot of people, and people on the right feel this as well, they feel like the system is not working.
00:25:28.000And so the question to you is what is driving this?
00:25:33.000Well, I think it's a lot of things, right?
00:25:35.000And I wrote about the centrality of immigration here, even though I think just like a lot of revolutionary vanguards, and you go back to the communist Chinese, it was the same way.
00:25:43.000It's, you know, elites who are maybe not from the peasantry, so called, lead the revolution, but you can't do the revolution without.
00:25:54.000If you look at Mom Dhani in his election, he was overwhelmingly supported by people who were not born in America, and he lost the votes of people born in America.
00:26:05.000I think you're probably going to see a lot of the same things if we get good exit polls from here.
00:26:12.000The opportunity is an issue, but of course, every single thing the Democratic Socialists want to do is simply going to make that a much worse situation than it already is.
00:26:27.000We need to be a little bit more aggressive about pushing it.
00:26:30.000We need to be more aggressive about reaching out to young people.
00:26:34.000Charlie did an amazing interview, actually, I think a discussion, ironically, with Tucker, I think maybe about just a few weeks before he died, I'm sure you guys remember it, where he really talked about the centrality of young people and their issues and how everybody was sleeping on this as an issue and how he had really been trying to make this put front and center for the administration.
00:26:56.000And I just hope that message is getting out.
00:26:58.000Yeah, and that's kind of where I was going with this too, Jeremy.
00:27:01.000I think there is a, obviously, we hate this radical leftism.
00:27:55.000I just, here's what I think is happening, Jeremy both the GOP in Washington underestimates how radicalized we've become, actually, and the Democrats in Washington have underappreciated just how radical their base has become.
00:28:15.000And I think not just Hakeem Jeffries has got to be.
00:28:19.000Very worried looking at some of the things that you're just showing, like that video.
00:28:24.000But I think Chuck Schumer, who's going to be 78 in 2028 when he's up for reelection and staring down a potential primary versus AOC, he's got to be looking at all this and kind of wondering again, as somebody who moderate establishment, very pro Israel, you know, does he want to end his career in ignominious defeat in a primary?
00:28:47.000Because I've got to be honest, you know, that's probably where this is heading.
00:28:53.000So, you know, I think there's a lot of people who are going to be looking over their shoulder, particularly on issues of AIPAC, but also on issues like affordability, universal health care, you know, rent control, all these sorts of things that the Democrat socialists are campaigning on and are maybe not all in the complete mainstream of the Democratic Party.
00:29:56.000And a lot of this is really downstream of that, whether it's said explicitly or not.
00:30:00.000And we've talked, and everybody's talking about the three Congress people for good reason.
00:30:04.000But there were also six Democratic socialists who won in the New York legislature yesterday, at least six, maybe even a seventh.
00:30:13.000Pretty all but one minorities, all from immigrant backgrounds.
00:30:17.000In fact, several of them involved as immigration attorneys or whatever.
00:30:22.000There is a huge immigration element of this.
00:30:25.000There is a huge ethnic element and racial element of this.
00:30:28.000There's a huge anti white element that is lurking just below the surface.
00:30:34.000And I think one of the things that will be interesting is as some of these guys have to get out of their districts and explain some of their quotes to the broader electorate, I think a lot of normie Republicans or even normie independents are going to be kind of shocked by what some of these Democratic socialists have been saying.
00:31:10.000And now it's just everything is a mess.
00:31:14.000It's like, and if they just say, and he says, everyone thought we could just read Marx or something and we could debunk this with debate.
00:31:21.000And it's much more important now that we recognize they are just sold this narrative because of mass immigration that says the reason your old countries weren't nice is because of white people.
00:31:33.000And now, if you vote for this, and we'll call it socialism, but we could call it any number of things, we'll take their stuff and we'll give it to you.
00:31:39.000And like, that's really what's appealing in New York.
00:31:41.000Well, and listen how Hassan Piker sells this.
00:31:44.000This is what's crazy, how they launder these very violent ideologies.
00:31:48.000I mean, because eventually, when you want to seize the means of production and you want to kick out landlords and give it to poor people, I guess, or whatever, some of them are not going to put up with that, and it becomes violent.
00:31:59.000This is the classic cycle that we see with these socialist revolutions, these takeovers.
00:32:05.000And yet, this is what Hassan Piker says.
00:33:01.000And I think, you know, one of the interesting things I think you guys were getting at just a little bit earlier that's important is that when we talk about socialism, that's kind of an airy ideology.
00:35:18.000If you're like me and summer's upon us, you're thinking about all the fun you want to have with your family, you're thinking about leisure time, maybe you got a family vacation, you're probably not thinking of like, Checklists in your personal life, like getting life insurance, but you got to do it.

00:37:52.000I mean, these people were heavily, heavily involved in college government everywhere.
00:37:56.000It doesn't matter if you went to the University of Virginia like I did, or Dartmouth, or University of Washington.
00:38:00.000Like they were everywhere and they were practicing, they were cosplaying.
00:38:03.000And none of, I don't know, I didn't pay attention to them.
00:38:06.000I did student government my first year at UVA, and then I just could not stand, excuse me, I could not handle the egos of these people that took themselves so seriously on these incredibly stupid issues, stupid social issues.
00:38:18.000But anyway, they took themselves seriously and they never stopped.
00:38:21.000And then now they're, you know, winning elections in New York City.
00:38:29.000One of the, I mean, this is not why we had you on, but it is still very newsworthy.
00:38:33.000Said, We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization.
00:38:40.000We seek community and instruction from militants in the global south who have been on the front lines of the fight against tyranny and domination, which undergird the imperialist world order.
00:38:50.000I mean, these people have been completely and utterly ideologically captured, and they have zero gratitude for the blessings of living in the United States, which affords them the luxury.
00:39:03.000Yeah, that, I mean, your last point is the really good one.
00:39:06.000And that's if I ever really, I don't, you know, I'm stuck in headquarters here, so I never get to interact with these kind of people.
00:39:11.000But that, your last point is what I'd want to talk to them about is like, hey, does it ever occur to you that you're only able to say these things and have these things because of, you know, because of the special, special conditions that exist here in the United States?
00:39:56.000I want to let's talk about turnout because that's where I was going to go as well.
00:40:00.000So I mentioned it briefly with Jeremy Carl, but we have to look in the mirror as conservatives and ask ourselves the question did we deliver on the promises of 2024?
00:40:09.000And I think for a lot of people, that answer is no, right?
00:40:24.000And now you've got President Trump this morning who just said, Hey, I'm not going to sign this housing bill, which probably is popular, something we care about, right?
00:40:32.000But I'm not going to do it unless the leadership within the Senate actually gets serious about the Save America Act.
00:40:38.000He said, I am canceling the signing of it until we pass the Desperately Needed Save America Act, which I consider to be a national.
00:41:21.000Sure, maybe we didn't deliver on everything or we haven't yet, but I don't believe that's it.
00:41:25.000I really truly believe that these elections are decided by the independents, right?
00:41:30.000I really, you know, and that's why I tend to post those whenever we get new numbers on independence.
00:41:35.000So I feel like this is where the media is killing us.
00:41:37.000The media, they did this after 2016, and they're doing it again now, where they completely, you know, turn everything about Trump and about the American First Movement.
00:41:48.000Into something evil, and they convince, and you've seen the numbers, and they convince independents not to vote Republican.
00:41:53.000So, just on that little point, I'm not so sure, I don't really think it's promises not kept.
00:41:58.000I really think it's just the media is killing us and turning independents against us.
00:42:02.000Now, back to how the base feels, the vibe.
00:42:05.000You know, look, I've got a wide, you know, it's not just me at Citizen Free Press, but everywhere in the Republican Party, there's all kinds of different views on the Iran war.
00:42:16.000And so, yeah, there are people who say, why are we even negotiating with them?
00:42:19.000We need to, you know, continue to bomb them.
00:42:22.000I've got other people saying, no, this is a good thing, but maybe let's try not to fund them too much or at least help them get these reconstruction funds.
00:42:30.000But the overall vibe is positive, yes.
00:42:33.000I mean, I noticed, for example, you guys didn't even talk about it in the first hour of the show.
00:42:38.000We aren't even talking about the Iran war.
00:42:40.000So hopefully, Vance and the team, Witkoff and Kushner, they can, you know, we can get the things we want.
00:42:45.000And hopefully, you know, I mean, look, if, for example, the thing that freaks people out the most, I believe, about all of this are the billions that are talked about, right?
00:42:54.000That $300 billion fund, I heard someone talking about it.
00:42:56.000And I want to point out this is going to be probably money from the Gulf nations.
00:43:01.000And these are going to be loans, even from them, that are going to be backed by oil revenues, future oil revenues.
00:43:07.000So even if US dollars were not going to be involved in this, or even if US dollars were going to be involved, we're going to get our money back.
00:43:16.000So I want people to, you know, I put those headlines up a lot about the billions involved.
00:43:20.000And, you know, and I want to make sure people understand that, you know, Trump and Vance are on this.
00:43:27.000We just got to, it's buckle down time for the midterms.
00:43:31.000If we somehow come up with a theme that these are the most important midterms of our lives and Trump and Susie Wiles and everybody gets involved, I feel like that's our only way.
00:43:39.000So I'm hoping we can have some crazy momentum.
00:43:42.000And to underscore your point, I mean, check out the Polly market odds.
00:43:46.000We're not paid by them or anything like that.
00:43:47.000But I do think it's interesting that Polly market odds for JD Vance becoming the nominee in 2028 shot up instantly as soon as he started negotiating this peace deal.
00:44:02.000We've talked, Kane, about is there a split between DC, where I think DC has the people who are certainly most enthusiastic about war, but also most worried about the idea that if America is spending taxpayer dollars on this or if we do look like we're getting the bad end of the deal?
00:44:19.000Whereas my sense is, in a lot of America, they really do just want peace.
00:44:24.000They will like it if JD Vance is associated with the peace deal.
00:44:28.000They want out, they want the war to be over, and they don't care nearly as much about what the details are.
00:44:39.000I couldn't believe, look, when you're like me and you watch somebody's media performances all day, right?
00:44:43.000From morning till night and see all the different shows that he's doing, it's just stunning to me that he could hold it together at the end of the night.
00:44:49.000And he did it for like 48 hours straight.
00:47:41.000My first game, I was like age four at Wrigley Field.
00:47:45.000But at the same time, my favorite player in baseball is Kyle Schwarber, Mr. America Kyle Schwarber.
00:47:51.000And it's because when he was 21 and he was a baseball player at IU, I was golfing at the IU course in the summer and he joined us at the turn.
00:50:34.000But it was a, you know, Charlie was supportive of that ticket too.
00:50:37.000And a little bit inside baseball, you know, for those who are curious, What I have been told, and these things change, Rubio's allowed to make up his mind and change his mind as time goes on, is that he did not like running for president.
00:50:50.000Now, fair enough, he was running against Donald Trump.
00:50:54.000Who would like running against Donald Trump, you know, calling him Little Marco and things like that?
00:50:59.000Obviously, that's all water under the bridge now, but he didn't like it.
00:51:02.000And I think he has endorsed JD Vance publicly at least two or three times.
00:51:57.000So why aren't you buying silver right now?
00:51:59.000People who recognized oil early didn't just make money.
00:52:02.000They got ahead of one of the biggest economic shifts in history.
00:52:05.000And today, a similar opportunity is unfolding with silver.
00:52:09.000Silver is more than a precious metal, it's a critical resource used in solar panels, electric vehicles, defense systems, AI infrastructure, and the massive data centers powering that digital world.
00:52:19.000While demand keeps growing, it's still affordable enough that the average American can start accumulating it right now.
00:52:25.000That's why investors are turning to silver to protect against inflation.
00:52:29.000And to own one of the world's most important strategic resources.
00:52:32.000Don't be the person who looks back in 10 years and says, I saw it coming, I just didn't act.
00:52:37.000Visit noblegoldinvestments.comslash Kirk and learn how easy it is to own physical silver.
00:53:07.000Gave our production team quite the runaround for years.
00:53:10.000It's so funny you mentioned that just because I was watching one of your clips last night and I did think, oh, that's the same microphone we have.
00:53:34.000John, I wanted to talk to you about something because you've been really outspoken on a topic that I think, you know, we just had Citizen Kane from Citizen Free Pests on.
00:54:09.000But at this point, you know, how could you support, how could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States?
00:54:44.000Wicker also said the $300 billion reconstruction fund to help Iran recover from the war make Iran's payoff under President Obama's 2015 deal look like a pittance by comparison.
00:54:58.000You get an interesting contrast there because it really, I think it gets that Tucker there is saying he's extremely angry at the GOP.
00:55:07.000And then we actually have this giant parade of Republican senators saying they're very angry that we're getting out of the Iran war, that this deal is.
00:55:27.000I mean, I understand why, like, the neocon class would be upset about that decision.
00:55:30.000I don't understand why somebody like Tucker Carlson would be upset about that decision necessarily.
00:55:34.000And I don't even think that clip was what he was responding to initially.
00:55:37.000I think it was just sort of the vague, you know, the GOP is controlled by foreign interests.
00:55:41.000And therefore, I'm not going to align myself with that political party because they're not refused or they're refusing rather to put America first.
00:55:47.000But the problem with that is, I remember, and I'm sure you guys remember, Tucker Carlson was the guy who, in the height of neocon control over Washington, was going to go on Fox and wear a bow tie and talk about how much he loved the Iraq war and defended the actions of George Bush.
00:56:01.000It's only now, after what did he say, like 35 years, that he's deciding that the party is too controlled by support for foreign countries, and so he can no longer participate in it.
00:56:11.000And literally, in the span that he has been involved in politics, that has never been less accurate than it is now.
00:56:16.000I mean, Donald Trump is the guy who got on stage in 2015 and said to Jeb Bush's face, the war in Iraq was a big fat mistake.
00:56:23.000I mean, arguably, if not for immigration and trade policy, it was the repudiation of this exact kind of like neocon era foreign policy that animated his campaign originally.
00:56:33.000And he's actually stuck to those promises.
00:56:37.000And so I don't understand why now, if not over the past 20, 30 years, you would want to make a move like that.
00:56:43.000I can only assume it's because these people just basically want to ensure Democrat victory so they can get more engagement because it's the famous adage, right?
00:56:50.000No one wants to read a headline about a plane landing safely.
00:56:54.000It actually benefits the influencer class when things are going very poorly because they have more to talk about because Americans are terrified that their children are being propagandized and their grandmothers are being mugged.
00:57:03.000And so they tune into people looking for answers.
00:57:05.000And so there is a very actually perverse incentive structure, I think.
00:57:09.000John, there was a tweet of yours yesterday that you're kind of referring to with what you just said.
00:57:14.000And it's not even just the neocon aspects of things.
00:57:18.000In the same interview there, Tucker also complained that the administration hasn't taken action on, for example, like anti white sentiment in America, that there's anti white racism, anti white bias in the government.
00:57:29.000And first of all, as you say, are we perfect on this issue?
00:57:50.000And I especially want to highlight what you said in your tweet, where you just say the people who do like neocon stuff would like nothing better than for a bunch of people to rage quit the GOP.
00:58:54.000And they won't say it's my principles, but they'll say it's because I'm just based.
00:58:56.000I'm just too far right for these people.
00:58:59.000And so I'm going to wait, let the country collapse.
00:59:01.000And then once it gets harder to win, it will actually become easier to win because my niche political ideology will ascend from the ashes and stand atop like the phoenix.
00:59:11.000Well, I'm not accusing Tucker of accelerationism, but I do think it would.
00:59:15.000It would be helpful to lay out this basic taxonomy of the right because I think it's important for our audience to understand that within the coalition, there are these factions and they're pulling at one another and they're trying to sway one another and label one another to different things.
01:00:54.000I mean, like me, when the originally leftist political theory seems to only benefit the left, like the right does not do better in times of chaos.
01:01:03.000I mean, that kind of stuff only seems to benefit the left.
01:01:05.000And also, it seems that right now we have a very rare opportunity to actually stop the decline of our country and make real material progress.
01:01:14.000And so it's very dishonest to me when I see people who are just casting arrows at the GOP, broadly speaking, which for virtually our entire lives has been disappointing to say the least.
01:01:24.000But for the last few years, it's actually started to improve in a very positive and actually kind of like incomprehensible direction.
01:01:30.000And so it's not honest to write off the whole GOP and use vague language like, look, they failed to do anything.
01:01:38.000And it's like, dude, we've never had a better opportunity to actually address the issues you claim to care about so much than we do right now.
01:01:44.000And I have friends, we all have friends in DC.
01:01:47.000We all kind of know what's going on there and how hard these guys are working and how they're totally aware of what's going on and how to fix it.
01:01:52.000They need now more than ever actually like support.
01:01:55.000They need to understand that they have friends out there who will support them if and when the imminent leftist counterattack comes, which, by the way, they're quite openly advertising that when they get back into power, they're going to prosecute people, they're going to dox ICE agents.
01:02:08.000Now is not the time to signal that we are not all unified collectively against the global left.
01:02:13.000Now is actually the time, while we control the federal government, to actually dig our heels into the sand and say, no, we're not going to retreat because we sense the potential threat for an imminent counterattack.
01:02:24.000We are actually going to stay in this fight because, yeah, the enemy, be that the establishment, GOP, The left, they don't care why you leave the fight.
01:02:32.000It can be because you're so ideologically pure.
01:02:48.000We often make the point here that if you just took an image of the Senate now versus 10 years ago, there's so many better representatives there.
01:02:56.000Everything is getting better one election at a time.
01:02:59.000We just have to stay the course because, as you said, It's unimaginable how far we've come actually when you just took a snapshot 10 years ago to now.
01:03:55.000You know, so what's interesting right now in this coalition is that they are, that taxonomy of the right that I laid out, it's like the accelerationists want to peel off the small L's and the dissidents, and the neocons want to label the plan trusters, if you will, as neocons.
01:04:14.000And it's like, that's not true at all, right?
01:04:16.000Like, so if I give the president the benefit of the doubt, all of a sudden I'm like, you know, Wanting to, you know, lob bombs on foreign countries all day long.
01:04:38.000That's the million dollar question, isn't it?
01:04:40.000I feel like we just kind of have to keep our head down and keep telling the truth.
01:04:43.000I mean, people seem to really just want the blood and the drama and all of that.
01:04:46.000But I would hope that the higher quality people who are more interested in just like, Actual solutions to the problems that we face and that literally threaten our entire civilization.
01:04:55.000I would hope that those heads can ultimately prevail, though I'm a bit jaded these days.
01:04:59.000But I think that really, like all of that conflict, I mean, really the neocons stand to benefit more than anybody from that.
01:05:05.000I mean, these are people who are still very well entrenched into positions of power in Washington and throughout the party.
01:05:10.000They stand to benefit if we do not have momentum behind like the sort of ascendant America First cause.
01:05:15.000And I think that the maybe accelerationist types, as perhaps is implied by their title being accelerationists, they're very happy to just.
01:05:22.000Burn everything down so they feel like they can take a victory lap on social media.
01:05:25.000And so the first step is, I think, just like ostracize those people.
01:05:29.000I really think that any organization that takes itself seriously, be that an institution or even just a party or a movement, you can't tolerate low quality behavior and you can't tolerate low quality people.
01:05:39.000I mean, if you and I were trying to prepare a meal and I was in the kitchen just like, you know, throwing eggs around and like, look, it breaks if I throw it, like you would kick me out very quickly.
01:05:48.000And that's for something extremely low stakes, like a dinner party.
01:05:50.000I mean, we're talking about the future of our nation.
01:05:53.000A country that we will continue to live in, our children will live in.
01:05:55.000Like, we have to actually take this extremely seriously.
01:05:57.000And people, I think, have a tendency, maybe well meaning, to, you know, indulge a lot of this stuff from people and say, well, yeah, they were lying and they were wrong and they're accusing people of like taking money and being compromised.
01:06:10.000But can you at least understand that they're only doing that because they're really concerned?
01:06:14.000And it's like, dude, like, no, I'm not going to excuse like low quality behavior because of socioeconomic factors or something.
01:06:22.000And I think when we stop, you know, Rewarding this behavior and indulging in it, we can all operate as a much more well oiled machine because right now there's way too much of the.
01:06:31.000He may have lied about this thing the Trump administration did, but it's only because he really cares about the issue of immigration and what you don't.
01:06:38.000It's like this is not how adults engage in politics.
01:06:41.000This is just like unproductive and stupid.
01:06:43.000Yeah, John, I've really appreciated on your ex account you've had pinned since September 10th.
01:07:56.000It is extraordinarily based for a president to put that out.
01:07:59.000Immigrants from Scandinavia are great net contributors, and refugees that we take from the Horn of Africa tend to not be long term contributors.
01:08:08.000Where we've come so far from, I remember when Trump said, Why are we taking people from bleephole countries?
01:08:42.000He's not building it as fast as he's promised.
01:08:44.000He says they could get it done by the end of next year, but they'll have to speed it up.
01:08:47.000To get that done, we CNN dunking on us for not building the wall.
01:08:50.000We sent hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine and they threw such a fit about 20 billion dollars for the wall, and now you don't even hear about it.
