The Tucker Carlson Show

00:00:00.000 One of our plans when we started TCN was to run great long-form content,

00:00:04.320 documentaries and topics that other people were ignoring.

00:00:07.040 Well, we have the best so far.

00:00:09.820 It's called Wine in the Sand, and it's by James O'Keefe,

00:00:13.440 one of the last brave and honest journalists in this country.

00:00:16.840 How brave?

00:00:17.680 James O'Keefe embedded with the cartels as they moved migrants engaging in human trafficking

00:00:23.960 at the largest scale in modern times from Latin America to the United States.

00:00:28.080 He embedded with the cartels, with hidden cameras,

00:00:31.420 and the result is this documentary, Wine in the Sand,

00:00:34.240 which we are proud to run exclusively on TCN.

00:00:37.220 Wine in the Sand, October 10th. Highly recommended.

00:00:43.920 What's going on, everyone?

00:00:48.000 You are so nice to do this.

00:00:50.060 Oh, it's my pleasure.

00:00:50.940 I asked him backstage, how many nights have you been home in the last month?

00:00:53.980 He's like, I'm home?

00:00:54.960 Well, when Lexi called me, it was like, I guess, yesterday morning,

00:00:59.100 and they're like, they weren't sure if Russell or John were able to make it to the show in Fort Lauderdale,

00:01:03.580 and I live a couple hours north of there.

00:01:05.580 Can you do it?

00:01:06.500 I'm like, of course I'll do that for Tucker.

00:01:08.740 They're like, well, they're able to make it now,

00:01:11.120 so can you come in as like a fourth person?

00:01:13.000 I'm like, can I have one night with my children, please?

00:01:15.340 For the love of God, it's been 30 days.

00:01:18.720 So I bowed out gracefully.

00:01:20.120 You're the only non-Mormon man I know who has more children than I do,

00:01:23.500 and I say that with envy.

00:01:25.320 But you've got to do what you love.

00:01:26.580 I was listening to your intro.

00:01:29.220 I have five kids.

00:01:30.360 I know how that happens now, so I took up something much less vicious like politics.

00:01:35.760 So where are we?

00:01:37.140 I just touted you as someone who has his finger in the pulse,

00:01:39.520 and I happen to know for a fact that that's true.

00:01:42.020 That was not a sales job.

00:01:43.720 Where are we, do you think, in this race?

00:01:45.580 Honestly, we're in a place, and, you know, I'm a guy that,

00:01:49.960 this is my third time around.

00:01:52.520 We're in a place that's better than we've ever been in a comparable position.

00:01:58.380 Wow.

00:01:59.460 You know, and as you know, I am the guy that's sort of willing to go into the ground

00:02:04.060 and go into the parts of Forgotten America,

00:02:05.540 and those are sort of my friends, despite where, you know, sort of I grew up,

00:02:09.720 and I appreciate and understand the irony of it,

00:02:11.860 but it's sort of the way I was always just brought up.

00:02:14.360 And, you know, in 16, it was like, you still believe the media narrative.

00:02:20.360 It's like, we're supposed to lose.

00:02:21.460 I was like, but we're going to overperform, but we'll probably lose.

00:02:24.840 In 20, I was like, man, it's actually significantly better.

00:02:28.500 And just, like, in October of 2020, I did 104, like, rallies myself.

00:02:34.340 So, like, you know, four a day for 30 days.

00:02:36.620 Like, it was, but you do get a pulse, and you see it,

00:02:39.520 and it's like, we're going to do better.

00:02:41.120 And, of course, we did, but, you know.

00:02:43.360 Yeah, I know.

00:02:44.000 Yeah.

00:02:46.220 This time around, like...

00:02:47.680 They got over a billion votes, I think, that year.

00:02:50.020 Well, the real problem is, if they showed up with a billion votes on November 6th,

00:02:55.680 they would tell us it was the freest and most fair election ever.

00:02:58.900 They would present no evidence of that.

00:03:00.980 They would say it, and if you don't believe that you're racist,

00:03:04.320 or you're an insurrectionist, or some other thing that you're obviously not,

00:03:08.320 they can give you something that's statistically impossible,

00:03:10.460 and they'll jam it down your throats.

00:03:13.040 And what's really good about this cycle is people get it.

00:03:17.320 They're sick of it.

00:03:18.600 But more importantly, so many are now finally emerging as unafraid to say it.

00:03:27.400 Right?

00:03:27.760 If people get unafraid, if they start talking about the realities of it,

00:03:33.600 if, you know, before it was like, oh, you're canceled.

00:03:36.040 You know, notice how, like, things that would have gotten you canceled two, three years ago,

00:03:38.680 people are saying out in open.

00:03:40.180 I mean, they're not even canceling you on social media for saying some of these things.

00:03:43.480 They're still censoring the hell out of you.

00:03:45.360 But it's just different.

00:03:47.680 So the atmosphere is so good.

00:03:50.740 It feels so strong, unlike anything I've experienced so far.

00:03:54.720 Really?

00:03:55.280 Even compared to 2020?

00:03:56.900 Yeah, by the way, now, even compared to, like, closer to the election,

00:04:00.620 because, I mean, I've been, you know, on the road now for weeks.

00:04:03.580 You know, even in June, I was like, wow, I mean, people have had enough.

00:04:07.640 They're sick of being lied to.

00:04:09.540 They're sick of being told, no, no, Bidenomics is working for you.

00:04:13.200 And I know it for myself, because, listen, I've been blessed.

00:04:16.700 I know that.

00:04:17.240 I don't pretend to be otherwise.

00:04:18.420 But I think I told you the story one time we were hanging out,

00:04:20.560 and I was, like, I was coming back from a fishing trip with my son.

00:04:23.240 He was 10 and 14 at the time, like, last year.

00:04:26.280 And we went to McDonald's.

00:04:28.580 And it was my 10-year-old, my 14-year-old, and me.

00:04:31.240 And it was $48.

00:04:32.500 And I was like, holy crap.

00:04:35.260 Like, if Donald Trump Jr. has sticker shock, folks.

00:04:40.160 Like, if I'm like, I don't know.

00:04:44.260 That seems ridiculous.

00:04:45.640 Like, if I'm pissed off.

00:04:46.840 What did you get?

00:04:47.680 Do you mind if I ask?

00:04:48.560 You know, I don't even remember.

00:04:49.500 It didn't matter.

00:04:50.220 It was just, it wasn't, like, excessive.

00:04:52.980 But if I'm sitting there, I'd be like, I don't get it.

00:04:56.160 You know, I'm not, and again, I'm not, like, you see it on the Sunday shows.

00:04:58.980 You know, some liberal, my three-week-old baby was recently crying about nuclear proliferation

00:05:04.480 on the Korean Peninsula.

00:05:05.720 Like, they're virtue signaling.

00:05:07.160 I'm not pretending it's going to change my habits.

00:05:10.880 I'm lucky enough that it doesn't have to, it doesn't affect me.

00:05:13.760 But I know it affects some family that's making $50,000 a year, $60,000 a year.

00:05:19.300 If I'm pissed off, they're livid.

00:05:21.840 And they've had enough of being told, you just have to accept it.

00:05:25.620 It's going to be good while we send another $250 billion to Ukraine to fight a war that

00:05:30.460 no one has articulated to me or you.

00:05:33.260 I do this now, you know, I don't really make any money in politics, but, like, I'm sort

00:05:43.700 of just, like, I'm a fighter.

00:05:44.940 I'm, like, I'm in the game now.

00:05:47.460 No one's articulated.

00:05:48.620 We must do this.

00:05:49.660 I go, but why?

00:05:50.240 What does victory look like?

00:05:51.220 Well, we don't really know.

00:05:52.700 Well, so does it stop at a trillion dollars?

00:05:55.800 Ten trillion?

00:05:56.420 Ten trillion when the interest on our debt is now a trillion dollars a year.

00:06:00.420 Just the interest on the money that we borrow so we can send Pakistan $25 million to fund

00:06:05.880 transgender programs in their schools.

00:06:07.820 It's like, see what I mean?

00:06:10.820 Everyone knows it.

00:06:11.820 Like, everyone is sick of it.

00:06:14.360 It has to stop.

00:06:15.800 Well, can I ask you a question?

00:06:16.700 So you do travel and speak to audiences more than anybody, more than anybody, actually,

00:06:24.040 that I'm aware of, and you always have.

00:06:26.180 In Washington, where I spent my whole life until recently, I don't think there are four

00:06:31.320 Republicans in the House who've asked the questions about Ukraine than you have.

00:06:35.900 Do you ever meet an audience that is like, no, we really need to keep going funding this

00:06:41.040 war in Ukraine?

00:06:42.080 So I do this in a lot of the speeches.

00:06:44.120 I'll do it right here, because I haven't done it in a while.

00:06:46.700 You know, and I've had two responses.

00:06:49.480 And so let's say, over the last year, I've spoken to 50,000, 60,000 people, probably,

00:06:53.000 right?

00:06:53.260 You know, opening up for DJT a rally, a group of 300 people here, that may be 10,000, 5,000.

00:06:58.680 This is 10,000, whatever it is.

00:07:01.960 And I do it.

00:07:03.380 You know, show of hands, raise your hand if Ukraine is a top 10 priority for you in your

00:07:09.140 life.

00:07:09.520 Top 10.

00:07:12.220 And I'll do it.

00:07:12.980 If it is, I'll give you the mic.

00:07:14.420 How about a top three?

00:07:19.520 It doesn't exist.

00:07:20.760 I found two people.

00:07:22.640 Two people of now, let's call it 65,000 people that I speak to weekly.

00:07:29.520 That was, it was not top three, but it was top 10.

00:07:33.140 First guy, sir.

00:07:34.380 Why?

00:07:34.580 I am from Kiev, Ukraine.

00:07:37.520 I was like, okay, fine.

00:07:39.680 I'm going to give you a pass.

00:07:41.260 And the other was a guy that's like a Beltway warmonger.

00:07:43.700 I was like, so you're on the board of Raytheon or something like that?

00:07:45.940 He was like, well, no, not exactly.

00:07:47.760 I was like, Northrop Grumman?

00:07:50.680 There he just walks away.

00:07:51.820 And yet, I get the calls.

00:07:56.620 By the way, what's nice about me, I'm not a politician, so I'll call up both sides.

00:08:00.760 I get the calls from Republicans.

00:08:02.280 Hey, Don, can you not go so tough on the Ukraine?

00:08:05.160 Because some of that money is getting funneled back to a missile maker.

00:08:09.720 And I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm all about American businesses.

00:08:13.180 Like, our family's done that before we got sued to, you know, like, we've done this.

00:08:17.040 I get it.

00:08:17.280 I want to support American business.

00:08:19.360 Not if it's just for abject death for no reason around the world.

00:08:23.920 Like, I'm not there to support American business in genocide.

00:08:29.400 And, like, I talk to these guys.

00:08:31.340 I'm like, you're making trillion-dollar decisions.

00:08:33.160 Have you surveyed, like, your constituents?

00:08:35.900 And they're like, well, no, but, you know, but I'm sure they took six figures from Raytheon.

00:08:39.320 And so, therefore, you know, they're on the team.

00:08:42.880 You know, they should get, like, sponsorship things.

00:08:44.740 Whose payroll are you on?

00:08:46.840 Because it's shocking to me that a guy like me, who grew up on the 70th floor of Trump Tower in Manhattan.

00:08:55.180 Again, I don't forget that.

00:08:56.200 I don't pretend it didn't happen.

00:08:57.380 I'm, like, very self-aware that way.

00:08:59.320 But it's like, how do I know this and you don't?

00:09:02.200 Like, you live there.

00:09:03.340 You live amongst these people.

00:09:05.020 You literally chose to represent your district.

00:09:09.320 I was there last week, and you have no idea what they actually stand for.

00:09:15.340 And it's disgusting.

00:09:17.920 That is – just thank you.

00:09:20.340 Thank you for that.

00:09:21.320 So, I think that one of the great promises of a second Trump term is that the party that nominated him will really change, and change in a specific way.

00:09:33.880 It will represent its voters.

00:09:35.280 The Democratic Party actually kind of represents its voters.

00:09:37.960 If you're into child castration, you've got a party.

00:09:40.980 But why wouldn't normal people have a political party that represents them?

00:09:45.480 I don't know how it got that way.

00:09:47.180 And, again, it's sort of amazing, right?

00:09:48.360 Because you would think they'd be able to get voted out.

00:09:50.260 But you know what?

00:09:50.940 There's – no one's ever had, again, sort of being unafraid, right?

00:09:54.320 They can go to their little constituents, and they go speak to a room, you know, other than maybe DJT.

00:09:59.780 No one can assemble a room like this in conservative politics or, frankly, in politics.

00:10:03.500 But they go home, and they speak to a group of five people that shows up, and they tell them everything they want to hear.

00:10:10.780 Everything.

00:10:11.840 And then they go to D.C., and they vote opposite.

00:10:14.080 Because there's no consequence in D.C.

00:10:17.320 You can be, like, 75% Republican.

00:10:19.860 Hell, you can be 90% Republican.

00:10:22.380 As long as when it actually matters, you fold.

00:10:24.840 It's an easy existence to be a weak Republican in Washington, D.C.

00:10:29.160 You know, the Washington Post isn't going to do the hit piece on you.

00:10:33.460 You know, I'd say they'd get invited to the cool person Christmas party, but we can't say Christmas party in D.C., right?

00:10:38.320 That's, you know, they can get away with a lot.

00:10:42.000 And so you have people that they get away with it.

00:10:45.580 They lie, and they go, no, that guy's really for me.

00:10:47.720 I'm like, but have you looked at his voting record?

00:10:49.960 No, he's just the Republican.

00:10:51.180 It's sort of like why we end up with, why are the weakest Republicans in the most conservative states?

00:10:56.020 Oh.

00:10:57.180 Right?

00:10:57.440 If you look at our, like, the Senate.

00:10:57.980 I'm speaking to you, Dan Crenshaw.

00:11:01.200 Well, but you go through the list.

00:11:03.400 I mean, whether it's Oklahoma, you have senators that are, like, I'm like, with Republicans.

00:11:08.320 Republicans like those, Utah.

00:11:11.040 You know, with Republicans like Mitt Romney, who needs Democrats?

00:11:14.860 But in the strong conservative states, the Democrats sort of get together.

00:11:18.140 They do this really well, and they say, hey, we're going to just forget about the Democrat.

00:11:21.940 We're just going to install the weakest Republican.

00:11:24.180 Half the Republicans don't know the difference.

00:11:25.940 They think that's the guy that's leading, so we'll just vote for him.

00:11:28.600 And you end up with conservative states that have the least conservative leadership in the world.

00:11:32.620 And so, so much of this is really an education process.

00:11:37.000 People have to understand and start paying attention.

00:11:39.080 And again, I think it takes, unfortunately, sort of whether it's addiction or otherwise,

00:11:44.140 sometimes you have to hit rock bottom.

00:11:46.000 And I think the American populace watching what we've been told has been a great success

00:11:49.620 over the last three and a half years under Joe Biden,

00:11:52.520 that's the rock bottom we actually needed to get people woken up and engaged in politics.

00:11:58.500 We could have never done something like this.

00:12:02.620 Five years ago, ten years ago, it didn't exist.

00:12:05.120 You've got four people in a room.

00:12:06.800 People are fed up.

00:12:07.740 Raise your hand if you're fed up.

00:12:13.040 But I don't, you may be missing something important,

00:12:15.540 and I'm getting this directly from Ben Stiller.

00:12:17.340 The election of Kamala Harris will be, and I'm quoting now, the change we need.

00:12:26.500 By the way, just so we're clear, Kamala Harris has changed a lot.

00:12:31.480 Unfortunately, it's all been for the worse.

00:12:34.960 What's amazing about this whole thing, I'm watching the media,

00:12:37.640 she's the candidate of change.

00:12:38.880 I go, she's the vice president.

00:12:42.140 Like, she has been there.

00:12:43.560 They want change.

00:12:44.440 Like, they cut and paste Joe Biden's policies

00:12:48.380 when they finally, after a month of being the nominee,

00:12:50.880 put up her policies,

00:12:52.560 and they forgot to cover up the source code to say it's the same thing.

00:12:55.560 Like, what change is that going to be?

00:12:58.320 Like, she is the vice president to the most absentee president

00:13:02.040 in the history of the United States.

00:13:07.060 Beyond, beyond the dementia,

00:13:09.500 beyond the basics of the dementia,

00:13:13.280 he spent 40-plus percent of his presidency on vacation.

00:13:18.440 If she wanted to do something,

00:13:20.220 she had the opportunity to literally do anything.

00:13:23.040 She could have taken the reins.

00:13:24.080 And by the way, Joe Biden said that the other day.

00:13:26.480 What was it?

00:13:26.900 One of the clowns on The View.

00:13:28.500 What, he was like,

00:13:29.020 no, I delegated everything to her.

00:13:30.880 I trust that she totally ran with everything.

00:13:33.360 And so the media is like,

00:13:35.300 it's like she has a clean slate.

00:13:36.700 It's like she's never been in politics.

00:13:38.740 She's literally the daughter of a Marxist professor

00:13:42.040 who is a San Francisco liberal

00:13:43.860 who was rated the most radically left person

00:13:46.360 in the United States Senate,

00:13:47.800 left of Bernie Sanders,

00:13:49.260 because at least I think he kind of believed

00:13:51.280 in at least American jobs.

00:13:53.500 She couldn't care less.

00:13:55.400 And they're like, no, no, no.

00:13:56.180 Her political career started three weeks ago

00:13:58.460 when she won,

00:14:01.400 won, you know,

00:14:02.540 we use that word loosely in the word democracy.

00:14:05.780 They throw it around.

00:14:06.460 She got zero votes.

00:14:07.480 But, you know,

00:14:08.860 won this position.

00:14:10.520 I'm like,

00:14:11.720 you saw it during the base.

00:14:12.820 I'm not anti-gun.

00:14:14.400 Like 10 days before,

00:14:15.820 mandatory gun buyback program.

00:14:17.460 They wanted,

00:14:17.880 that's part of their platform.

00:14:20.140 Just,

00:14:20.820 she's not for taking part of your guns,

00:14:23.640 but like a mandatory program.

00:14:25.440 The key word in this is mandatory.

00:14:27.920 Seems like you're actually really for taking your guns.

00:14:30.160 Then four days later,

00:14:31.080 she wants to institute an assault weapons ban.

00:14:34.840 You know,

00:14:35.060 the media will tell you whatever you need to hear

00:14:38.500 to get you to vote that way.

00:14:39.720 She will tell you anything.

00:14:41.940 I mean,

00:14:42.120 she's going to crack down on the border.

00:14:43.440 I mean,

00:14:43.800 she was the border czar.

00:14:45.520 I got fact-checked a couple,

00:14:46.920 you know,

00:14:47.240 months ago when she was talking about it

00:14:48.780 because I was like,

00:14:50.400 she's the border czar.

00:14:51.620 If she wanted to do something about the border,

00:14:53.460 they had the materials there,

00:14:54.700 all the labor was paid for.

00:14:56.200 They just said to the workers,

00:14:57.680 they said,

00:14:57.980 take the contract we gave you.

00:14:59.660 It doesn't matter.

00:15:00.280 Leave the materials.

00:15:00.920 We'll sell it for pennies on the dollar.

00:15:02.860 Now she's going to be tough on the border.

00:15:05.380 Like the fact that we still fall for it.

00:15:07.560 We saw it during the Biden administration

00:15:09.220 in the 2020 Democrat debates.

00:15:12.020 Who's against fracking

00:15:13.120 and American energy independence?

00:15:14.780 Everyone's hand went up.

00:15:16.700 You know,

00:15:16.960 a couple of months later,

00:15:17.900 the debate with my father.

00:15:20.180 I would never do that.

00:15:21.420 It's like,

00:15:21.620 but you raised your hand like three weeks ago

00:15:22.920 that you would do it.

00:15:23.500 Would he like,

00:15:23.920 you would never do it.

00:15:24.720 And the media,

00:15:25.460 of course he would never do it

00:15:26.720 because they knew

00:15:27.280 not that it would be the end

00:15:28.820 of the American energy sector.

00:15:30.580 Tens of thousands

00:15:31.240 of good paying jobs

00:15:32.320 for hardworking Americans,

00:15:33.720 energy independence,

00:15:34.820 and the national security

00:15:36.040 that comes with it.

00:15:37.120 They knew it would cost them votes

00:15:38.320 in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

00:15:40.120 And then on day one,

00:15:41.900 Keystone Pipeline,

00:15:42.960 first executive order.

00:15:44.080 They just,

00:15:44.420 they got rid of it all.

00:15:46.160 They'll tell you anything

00:15:47.240 you need to hear.

00:15:48.940 You know,

00:15:49.140 why would the media,

00:15:50.420 I mean,

00:15:50.660 I guess I've been in the media

00:15:51.700 my whole life,

00:15:52.460 but there's a self-respect problem

00:15:55.220 at a certain point

00:15:56.140 if you're parroting

00:15:58.000 the dumbest possible talking points

00:15:59.780 that no child would believe,

00:16:01.200 but you're doing it

00:16:01.720 with a straight face

00:16:02.500 if you're David Muir,

00:16:04.500 who is judging by his abs,

00:16:07.660 a great reporter.

00:16:10.140 But why,

00:16:10.980 like,

00:16:11.760 why are they willing

00:16:12.820 to be used

00:16:14.240 as basically prostitutes

00:16:16.400 by a political party?

00:16:18.740 Again,

00:16:19.360 they're just,

00:16:20.360 they've become part of machine.

00:16:21.740 They're not journalists.

00:16:22.840 They're just propagandists.

00:16:23.960 They're all on that team.

00:16:25.080 There's a reason,

00:16:25.580 what is it,

00:16:25.820 97% of all political donations

00:16:27.940 from the media

00:16:28.560 go to the Democrat Party.

00:16:30.480 You know,

00:16:30.900 they're not the ones

00:16:31.760 that are dealing

00:16:32.320 with the consequences

00:16:33.260 of illegal immigration,

00:16:35.020 the rape.

00:16:35.500 I mean,

00:16:35.680 the statistics that came out,

00:16:36.680 what was it,

00:16:37.160 yesterday,

00:16:38.320 right?

00:16:39.360 16,000 rapists

00:16:41.820 let into the country

00:16:43.540 as part of this flow.

00:16:44.460 Like,

00:16:45.180 13,000 murderers.

00:16:48.340 They're reporting on it.

00:16:49.560 That means they know.

00:16:51.280 They knew

00:16:52.020 and they let them in anyway.

00:16:53.700 I mean,

00:16:54.180 think about the insanity

00:16:55.460 of that.

00:16:55.820 What civilization

00:16:56.460 could survive

00:16:57.520 being like,

00:16:58.200 wow,

00:16:58.440 you know,

00:16:58.600 it's a rapist

00:16:59.440 and a murderer,

00:17:00.000 but fine,

00:17:00.360 we're going to give

00:17:00.720 this one a pass.

00:17:01.960 I mean,

00:17:02.280 that came out yesterday.

00:17:04.100 Well,

00:17:04.440 not just to pass,

00:17:05.140 but a free iPhone

00:17:08.280 and airplane tickets

00:17:09.680 and housing vouchers.

00:17:10.980 the sex offenders

00:17:12.480 and the rapists

00:17:13.220 and the rapists

00:17:13.240 that came over

00:17:13.820 across the border,

00:17:14.760 they don't even have

00:17:15.640 to register

00:17:16.300 on the sex offender

00:17:17.320 registries

00:17:17.820 that Americans could do

00:17:18.940 because we've been made

00:17:19.800 second-class citizens

00:17:20.760 in our own country.

00:17:21.860 It's bad enough

00:17:22.680 that they let them in.

00:17:23.480 I mean,

00:17:23.980 but then it's like,

00:17:24.560 well,

00:17:25.120 you know,

00:17:25.360 we wouldn't want you

00:17:25.940 to be stigmatized.

00:17:26.920 You're only a rapist

00:17:27.840 in your country.

00:17:29.020 Like,

00:17:30.060 think of how insane that is.

00:17:31.760 Like,

00:17:31.960 it's not sustainable,

00:17:33.040 but again,

00:17:33.740 no one's going to

00:17:34.300 actually report on it.

00:17:35.360 That's why I think,

00:17:36.340 you know,

00:17:36.820 what you're doing

00:17:37.740 and maybe me,

00:17:39.480 like,

00:17:39.840 at least we have

00:17:40.400 like a soapbox

00:17:41.100 and have the balls

00:17:42.060 to actually say this stuff

00:17:43.800 because we need that.

00:17:46.400 We've told you before

00:17:47.600 about Hallow.

00:17:48.840 It is a great app

00:17:50.420 that I am proud to say

00:17:51.900 I use,

00:17:52.540 my whole family uses.

00:17:53.800 It's for daily prayer

00:17:54.500 and Christian meditation

00:17:55.460 and it's transformative.

00:17:57.980 As we head into

00:17:58.680 the start of school

00:17:59.340 in the height of election season,

00:18:01.380 you need it.

00:18:02.200 Trust me,

00:18:02.680 we all do.

00:18:03.400 Things are going to get

00:18:04.100 crazier

00:18:04.800 and crazier

00:18:05.600 and crazier.

00:18:06.200 Sometimes it's hard

00:18:07.180 to imagine

00:18:07.600 even what is coming next.

00:18:09.640 So with everything

00:18:10.720 happening in the world

00:18:11.660 right now,

00:18:12.180 it is essential

00:18:13.240 to ground yourself.

00:18:15.680 This is not some

00:18:16.920 quack cure.

00:18:18.820 This is the oldest

00:18:20.140 and most reliable cure

00:18:21.660 in history.

00:18:22.380 It's prayer.

00:18:23.640 Ground yourself in prayer

00:18:24.660 and scripture

00:18:25.120 every single day.

00:18:26.280 That is a prerequisite

00:18:27.780 for staying sane

00:18:29.380 and healthy

00:18:29.860 and maybe for doing

00:18:30.840 better eternally.

00:18:32.520 So if you're busy

00:18:33.220 on the road

00:18:33.780 headed to kids sports

00:18:34.680 there is always time

00:18:35.720 to pray and reflect

00:18:36.880 alone or as a family

00:18:38.180 but it's hard

00:18:39.300 to be organized

00:18:40.140 about it.

00:18:41.180 Building a foundation

00:18:41.940 of prayer

00:18:42.420 is going to be

00:18:42.820 absolutely critical

00:18:43.660 as we head into November

00:18:44.980 praying that God's will

00:18:46.040 is done in this country

00:18:47.600 and that peace

00:18:48.480 and healing

00:18:49.400 come to us

00:18:50.460 here in the United States

00:18:51.500 and around the world.

00:18:52.520 Christianity obviously

00:18:53.320 is under attack

00:18:55.060 everywhere.

00:18:56.880 That's not an accident.

00:18:58.160 Why is Christianity

00:18:59.080 the most peaceful

00:18:59.820 of all religions

00:19:00.580 under attack globally?

00:19:02.200 Did you see the opening

00:19:02.900 of the Paris Olympics?

00:19:04.060 There's a reason

00:19:05.080 because the battle

00:19:06.160 is not temporal

00:19:07.080 it's taking place

00:19:08.080 in the unseen world.

00:19:09.920 It's a spiritual battle

00:19:11.000 obviously.

00:19:12.780 So try Hallow

00:19:13.540 get three months

00:19:14.260 completely free

00:19:15.100 at Hallow

00:19:15.840 that's Hallow.com

00:19:17.680 slash Tucker

00:19:18.720 if there's ever a time

00:19:20.460 to get spiritually in tune

00:19:21.600 and ground yourself

00:19:22.480 in prayer

00:19:23.060 it's now.

00:19:24.500 Hallow will help

00:19:25.280 personally

00:19:26.780 and strongly

00:19:27.460 and totally sincerely

00:19:28.520 recommended.

00:19:29.560 Hallow.com

00:19:30.400 slash Tucker.

00:19:46.520 Sorry for

00:19:47.440 you know

00:19:48.140 sometimes you just

00:19:50.140 gotta say it

00:19:50.740 sometimes there's words

00:19:51.640 that are more effective

00:19:52.480 than others

00:19:53.000 you know

00:19:53.280 I went with huevos

00:19:54.680 but not everyone

00:19:55.360 speaks Spanish

00:19:56.000 I get it.

00:19:57.820 Just in case

00:19:58.700 someone is influent

00:19:59.560 in huevos

00:20:00.100 it's uh

00:20:00.720 yeah

00:20:00.940 if

00:20:03.580 if uh

00:20:05.200 you know

00:20:05.540 if the campaign

00:20:06.140 loses

00:20:06.580 if Trump loses

00:20:07.620 does the Republican

00:20:09.460 Party

00:20:10.020 like they can't wait

00:20:11.160 to go back

00:20:12.000 to the party

00:20:13.460 of Cheney and Bush

00:20:14.300 that's the way

00:20:14.820 it feels to me.

00:20:16.180 I mean

00:20:16.960 that's the idea

00:20:17.900 and again

00:20:18.180 it's why

00:20:18.760 it's actually

00:20:19.940 why I'm so glad

00:20:20.700 that stuff like this

00:20:21.480 is happening

00:20:21.860 the fact that

00:20:22.340 you can do this

00:20:23.060 when I see

00:20:23.640 you know

00:20:24.180 a JD on TV

00:20:25.460 and then putting up

00:20:26.220 crowds

00:20:26.500 like

00:20:26.700 we finally

00:20:27.760 actually have

00:20:28.340 a bench

00:20:28.920 that was

00:20:30.400 like

00:20:30.720 that was

00:20:31.180 why I went

00:20:31.720 so hard

00:20:32.240 for him

00:20:32.880 to be VP

00:20:33.860 because

00:20:35.020 there's so few

00:20:37.220 non-puppets

00:20:38.180 in our party

00:20:38.820 like I want to

00:20:39.400 create a pathway

00:20:40.240 to be like

00:20:40.700 I don't want

00:20:41.600 just Donald Trump

00:20:42.480 he's my father

00:20:43.040 he's great

00:20:43.460 he's the guy

00:20:44.200 we need

00:20:44.600 at the time

00:20:45.180 and now

00:20:45.840 but like

00:20:46.880 what about

00:20:47.840 in four years

00:20:48.360 after Trump

00:20:48.960 what about

00:20:49.240 in 15 years

00:20:50.100 how do we

00:20:51.260 create

00:20:51.840 oh man

00:20:56.120 oh yeah

00:21:04.820 but

00:21:04.980 and then I get

00:21:06.400 you know

00:21:06.800 the consultants

00:21:08.000 that are like

00:21:08.600 Don one day

00:21:09.440 you should run

00:21:10.260 and you shouldn't

00:21:11.100 be staying

00:21:11.600 these

00:21:11.820 oh boy

00:21:14.560 a great compliment

00:21:19.040 thank you

00:21:19.460 but no

00:21:19.820 but they say

00:21:20.640 it to me

00:21:20.920 like

00:21:21.060 hey

00:21:21.460 you shouldn't

00:21:22.060 be building

00:21:22.600 up that guy

00:21:23.320 because he

00:21:23.780 could be

00:21:24.060 your competition

00:21:24.780 one day

00:21:25.080 I go

00:21:25.220 you think

00:21:26.340 I'm doing

00:21:26.680 this for me

00:21:27.340 like

00:21:27.540 it was much

00:21:28.160 easier

00:21:28.460 being a real

00:21:29.020 estate developer

00:21:29.620 from New York

00:21:30.280 like

00:21:30.520 we could actually

00:21:31.300 make money

00:21:31.840 we got invited

00:21:32.380 to the cool

00:21:32.800 person party

00:21:33.440 like

00:21:34.000 I didn't have

00:21:35.080 to do 50

00:21:35.640 hours of Russia

00:21:36.480 testimony

00:21:37.060 because apparently

00:21:37.640 I was an agent

00:21:38.760 of Russia

00:21:39.320 and like

00:21:39.740 and now I

00:21:40.840 understand

00:21:41.180 I am not

00:21:41.840 the upstanding

00:21:42.520 citizen

00:21:42.960 that Hunter

00:21:43.400 Biden is

00:21:43.840 can I

00:21:49.660 interject

00:21:50.200 I am

00:21:51.020 working

00:21:51.400 on getting

00:21:51.860 better

00:21:52.280 but like

00:21:52.680 I have a

00:21:52.980 feeling

00:21:53.180 if that

00:21:53.440 was my

00:21:53.760 laptop

00:21:54.120 it'd be

00:21:54.400 a problem

00:21:54.880 well

00:21:55.520 I don't

00:21:56.060 think

00:21:56.300 I'm

00:21:57.060 pretty sure

00:21:57.900 that most

00:21:58.340 people in

00:21:58.720 this room

00:21:59.000 don't understand

00:21:59.540 because you

00:21:59.980 never talk

00:22:00.500 about it

00:22:00.700 but I

00:22:00.840 happen to

00:22:01.160 watch it

00:22:01.860 I mean

00:22:02.660 they really

00:22:03.040 tried to

00:22:03.400 send you

00:22:03.700 to prison

00:22:04.380 yeah well

00:22:05.560 it was

00:22:05.840 I knew

00:22:06.700 that

00:22:06.960 and again

00:22:07.420 it was

00:22:07.620 one of

00:22:08.040 those

00:22:08.240 even my

00:22:10.400 lawyers

00:22:10.740 were like

00:22:11.000 you can't

00:22:11.500 go on

00:22:11.840 TV

00:22:12.240 that night

00:22:12.980 and talk

00:22:13.400 about these

00:22:13.800 things

00:22:14.000 everything you

00:22:14.920 say can

00:22:15.340 and will

00:22:15.580 be used

00:22:15.900 against you

00:22:16.260 they were

00:22:16.440 trying to

00:22:16.740 throw me

00:22:17.040 in jail

00:22:17.440 and I was

00:22:18.320 like

00:22:18.460 you don't

00:22:19.460 understand

00:22:19.900 I'm just

00:22:21.160 not built

00:22:21.580 that way

00:22:21.940 it doesn't

00:22:22.220 matter

00:22:22.500 but what

00:22:23.300 was interesting

00:22:23.800 after 50

00:22:24.380 hours of

00:22:24.740 testimony

00:22:25.000 again

00:22:25.740 just so we're

00:22:26.260 clear

00:22:26.460 Adam Schiff

00:22:27.560 the head

00:22:27.820 of the

00:22:28.000 Incelligence

00:22:28.440 Committee

00:22:28.860 I use that

00:22:29.780 word loosely

00:22:30.260 I was the

00:22:33.660 one that

00:22:33.940 crowned the

00:22:34.320 term

00:22:34.540 Adam

00:22:35.460 Bull Schiff

00:22:36.220 and or

00:22:37.180 and or

00:22:38.460 full of

00:22:38.940 Schiff

00:22:39.340 but like

00:22:41.940 they want

00:22:43.100 to try you

00:22:43.520 for treason

00:22:44.140 just so we're

00:22:44.620 clear

00:22:44.780 that's a crime

00:22:45.340 punishable by

00:22:46.020 death

00:22:46.440 for me

00:22:47.140 these days

00:22:47.480 that's like

00:22:47.780 an average

00:22:48.100 Tuesday

00:22:48.520 you get

00:22:50.780 used to it

00:22:51.260 but again

00:22:52.540 when it

00:22:52.880 you just

00:22:53.880 I had to

00:22:54.340 fight

00:22:54.500 and then

00:22:54.700 two years

00:22:55.000 later

00:22:55.260 these lawyers

00:22:55.780 these high

00:22:56.200 priced guys

00:22:56.700 that are

00:22:56.920 just

00:22:57.100 you know

00:22:57.480 they're weak

00:22:57.980 and I

00:22:58.180 you know

00:22:58.340 I get

00:22:58.640 the game

00:22:59.080 but I was

00:22:59.340 like

00:22:59.500 I can't

00:23:00.620 just win

00:23:01.080 the legal

00:23:01.480 battle

00:23:01.760 I actually

00:23:02.180 also have

00:23:02.580 to sort

00:23:02.840 of win

00:23:03.060 the PR

00:23:03.600 battle

00:23:03.940 the public

00:23:04.400 perception

00:23:04.780 because I'm

00:23:05.040 just not

00:23:05.320 going to

00:23:05.840 roll over

00:23:06.420 and two

00:23:06.660 years later

00:23:07.060 they're like

00:23:07.360 you know

00:23:07.540 what

00:23:07.680 you're right

00:23:08.120 like

00:23:08.320 if you just

00:23:09.980 curled up in a

00:23:10.680 ball and

00:23:11.240 died

00:23:11.640 that's exactly

00:23:12.320 what they

00:23:12.720 wanted

00:23:13.080 that would

00:23:14.520 have just

00:23:14.780 been the

00:23:15.140 start of a

00:23:15.860 much worse

00:23:16.860 much more

00:23:17.840 if they smell

00:23:19.000 that blood

00:23:19.440 in the water

00:23:19.880 if you're not

00:23:20.340 going to defend

00:23:20.860 yourself

00:23:21.220 if you're

00:23:21.500 going to

00:23:21.720 roll over

00:23:22.160 and be a

00:23:22.580 weakling

00:23:23.100 like they're

00:23:23.460 used to

00:23:23.940 that's

00:23:25.660 just the

00:23:26.040 beginning

00:23:26.460 that's

00:23:26.780 when it

00:23:26.980 gets

00:23:27.160 worse

00:23:27.620 and so

00:23:29.480 you see

00:23:29.840 that

00:23:30.080 and like

00:23:30.420 I was

00:23:30.780 talking

00:23:30.940 about

00:23:31.100 these

00:23:31.240 Republicans

00:23:31.560 you know

00:23:31.980 you shouldn't

00:23:32.580 build up

00:23:32.960 a guy

00:23:33.220 like JD

00:23:33.720 because one

00:23:34.180 day I

00:23:34.400 want to

00:23:34.620 make millions

00:23:35.200 of dollars

00:23:35.740 being your

00:23:36.360 campaign guy

00:23:37.140 taking pieces

00:23:37.880 I was like

00:23:38.280 I'm not

00:23:39.520 doing this

00:23:39.940 for me

00:23:40.360 like I'm

00:23:40.700 doing this

00:23:40.960 for my

00:23:41.220 country

00:23:41.500 I'm doing

00:23:41.760 this

00:23:41.900 I want

00:23:42.180 to leave

00:23:42.380 my children

00:23:42.980 a country

00:23:43.420 they recognize

00:23:44.320 I watched

00:23:48.540 the JD

00:23:49.020 thing happen

00:23:49.840 and I'm

00:23:51.440 just so

00:23:52.180 grateful

00:23:52.640 truly grateful

00:23:53.800 for what you

00:23:54.320 did and I

00:23:54.840 admire the

00:23:55.500 reasons you

00:23:56.220 did it

00:23:56.480 you were a

00:23:56.500 big part of

00:23:56.900 that too

00:23:57.200 I'm not

00:23:58.060 going to

00:23:58.200 admit that

00:23:58.520 but I

00:23:58.780 will say

00:23:59.340 that it

00:23:59.800 happened

00:24:00.280 despite the

00:24:01.180 wishes

00:24:01.520 of you

00:24:03.680 know some

00:24:03.960 of the

00:24:04.140 biggest donors

00:24:04.680 in the

00:24:05.000 Republican

00:24:05.360 Party

00:24:05.860 and I

00:24:06.820 just don't

00:24:07.160 think people

00:24:07.580 who aren't

00:24:08.000 from D.C.

00:24:08.620 understand how

00:24:09.300 rare that

00:24:09.800 is

00:24:10.020 almost nothing

00:24:10.800 happens against

00:24:11.540 the wishes

00:24:11.960 of the biggest

00:24:12.480 donors

00:24:12.840 that only made

00:24:13.800 it so much

00:24:14.120 more personal

00:24:14.600 we don't need

00:24:15.720 to go through

00:24:16.020 the names

00:24:16.360 but it's

00:24:16.920 a lot

00:24:17.180 I was like

00:24:17.600 oh that guy's

00:24:18.080 going up

00:24:18.300 now I'm

00:24:18.800 just going

00:24:19.780 harder

00:24:20.080 I think I

00:24:21.540 expended about

00:24:22.080 4,000% of my

00:24:23.220 political capital

00:24:23.940 with my father

00:24:24.640 that month

00:24:26.460 I may never

00:24:27.580 gain it back

00:24:28.220 but now

00:24:29.900 I watch JD

00:24:30.960 on the Sunday

00:24:31.520 shows

00:24:31.820 I watch him

00:24:32.300 get up on

00:24:32.720 there with

00:24:32.960 these hostile

00:24:33.660 communist media

00:24:35.040 and just

00:24:36.000 dismantle them

00:24:36.940 one by one

00:24:37.520 and every Sunday

00:24:38.660 every time

00:24:39.680 he's on TV

00:24:40.180 I'm like

00:24:40.500 I am

00:24:41.680 vindicated

00:24:42.280 because no one

00:24:42.980 else in our

00:24:43.600 party

00:24:44.120 but for perhaps

00:24:45.460 you or me

00:24:46.120 would actually

00:24:46.620 maybe a couple

00:24:47.560 others

00:24:47.800 but no one

00:24:48.860 that was in

00:24:49.200 the running

00:24:49.820 would actually

00:24:52.020 have the guts

00:24:53.280 to get out there

00:24:53.980 and do that

00:24:54.440 and do it

00:24:54.840 effectively

00:24:55.380 and do it

00:24:56.700 each and every

00:24:57.320 day

00:24:57.720 because we're

00:24:58.460 not in a fair

00:24:59.000 fight

00:24:59.360 we gotta

00:25:00.680 everyone's like

00:25:02.080 it's our ideas

00:25:02.940 versus their ideas

00:25:03.660 it's our ideas

00:25:05.520 that are smothered

00:25:06.980 and censored

00:25:07.800 and suppressed

00:25:08.720 and cut off

00:25:09.520 and it's their

00:25:10.400 ideas that are

00:25:11.100 artificially boosted

00:25:12.340 by a trillion dollar

00:25:13.440 big tech enterprise

00:25:14.520 by a trillion dollars

00:25:16.060 in mainstream media

00:25:17.040 that is functioning

00:25:17.800 literally as the

00:25:18.860 marketing department

00:25:19.800 of the other side

00:25:20.720 like that's not a

00:25:21.860 fair fight

00:25:22.220 the fact that

00:25:22.700 like if I was

00:25:23.300 running the Democrats

00:25:24.340 we'd be winning

00:25:25.440 elections like

00:25:26.140 99.99 to

00:25:28.060 .0001

00:25:29.520 that's how

00:25:31.360 lopsided it is

00:25:32.220 like but their

00:25:32.920 ideas are so insane

00:25:34.160 they've gone so far

00:25:36.060 it's hard to

00:25:37.300 rationalize it

00:25:37.940 and I'm a kid

00:25:38.360 that grew up

00:25:38.780 in Manhattan

00:25:39.380 like I have

00:25:40.440 friends that are

00:25:41.100 like Democrats

00:25:41.920 and liberals

00:25:42.520 and it's like

00:25:43.140 most of them

00:25:45.220 are like okay

00:25:45.660 well we're kind of

00:25:46.380 jumping the shark

00:25:47.080 on some of this

00:25:47.680 stuff and some

00:25:48.580 have just lost

00:25:49.240 their minds

00:25:49.980 but you see it

00:25:52.600 with the stuff

00:25:52.940 with RFK

00:25:53.580 I mean like

00:25:54.060 a Kennedy

00:25:54.940 is now endorsing

00:25:57.500 Donald Trump

00:25:58.300 or the

00:25:58.580 like

00:25:59.380 and not only

00:26:03.860 endorsing Donald

00:26:04.660 Trump

00:26:05.040 but by endorsing

00:26:06.980 Donald Trump

00:26:07.640 losing

00:26:08.120 I don't know

00:26:09.180 like all of his

00:26:10.140 friends

00:26:10.480 and watching his

00:26:11.600 own family

00:26:12.280 denounce him

00:26:13.140 and he's doing

00:26:14.380 it anyway

00:26:15.040 and that's what

00:26:16.500 it is

00:26:16.760 you know what

00:26:17.460 it's exactly

00:26:18.960 the point

00:26:19.360 that was the

00:26:19.800 story like

00:26:20.800 you guys all

00:26:21.260 remember the

00:26:21.720 escalator ride

00:26:22.560 down before the

00:26:23.280 announcement back

00:26:23.940 June 16th

00:26:27.700 2015

00:26:28.180 it was actually

00:26:28.680 one of those

00:26:29.020 moments where

00:26:30.100 like I was like

00:26:30.800 just I'm always

00:26:31.860 impressed with my

00:26:32.580 father but like

00:26:33.480 that one like he

00:26:34.080 just got the

00:26:34.680 world like I was

00:26:35.320 like this is why

00:26:36.000 like he understands

00:26:36.720 the world like

00:26:37.220 most people don't

00:26:38.520 before the escalator

00:26:39.840 ride there was an

00:26:40.380 elevator ride it was

00:26:41.260 the whole family

00:26:42.180 going down from his

00:26:42.920 office and you know

00:26:43.900 then it became him

00:26:44.640 and Melania and he

00:26:45.240 just looks me a dead

00:26:46.100 pan in the eyes and

00:26:46.820 he goes and now we

00:26:48.280 find out who our

00:26:48.980 real friends are

00:26:49.680 and it wasn't that

00:26:52.040 he's just running he

00:26:52.780 just he knew he knew

00:26:55.420 what would happen all

00:26:56.300 the Hollywood people

00:26:57.260 that was kissing his

00:26:58.600 maybe there's children

00:27:00.060 so kissing his butt

00:27:01.080 on a daily basis and

00:27:02.780 the billionaires in New

00:27:03.800 York that you know

00:27:04.520 just wanted to be

00:27:05.480 seen with him and

00:27:06.300 or on TV with him

00:27:07.640 or whatever he's

00:27:08.540 like that all ends

00:27:10.240 right now but more

00:27:11.300 importantly like like

00:27:12.640 RFK who I've become

00:27:13.540 really good friends

00:27:14.080 with in the last

00:27:14.540 couple months and

00:27:15.080 really worked on

00:27:15.620 that one too more

00:27:17.600 importantly he knew

00:27:18.820 what was going to

00:27:19.400 happen he knew the

00:27:20.340 consequence and he

00:27:22.060 did it anyway like

00:27:25.360 that's that's guts

00:27:29.020 you know that's that's

00:27:32.160 real courage you know

00:27:34.220 we're lacking in

00:27:35.100 courage that was real

00:27:36.820 courage well I mean

00:27:38.080 especially because the

00:27:39.040 thing that most people

00:27:39.920 fear above all things is

00:27:42.160 exile is being cast out

00:27:45.260 is being the weird kid

00:27:46.640 you know is is having all

00:27:48.740 the people you liked and

00:27:50.180 whose praise you so

00:27:51.880 enjoyed reject you like

00:27:53.940 people will do anything to

00:27:56.380 avoid that that is like

00:27:57.560 the bravest thing there

00:27:58.800 is in my opinion why

00:28:01.740 were you but you

00:28:02.540 didn't need to do that

00:28:03.980 you could I mean why

00:28:05.560 didn't you just stay in

00:28:06.680 New York listen for you

00:28:08.860 know for me it's just

00:28:10.160 sort of again I guess I

00:28:11.400 found out I have enough

00:28:12.140 of the Trump gene to just

00:28:13.100 be like okay we're in a

00:28:13.960 fight I'm gonna fight

00:28:14.660 and then you know I and

00:28:16.780 he's not my even my dad

00:28:17.740 he's like like Don

00:28:19.580 Jr he's the radic you've

00:28:20.760 heard him say that he's

00:28:21.420 the radical conservative

00:28:22.440 of the family but I was

00:28:23.540 always that way like you

00:28:24.860 know I shut up when it

00:28:26.280 made sense because like

00:28:27.060 we're building buildings

00:28:28.040 in Manhattan and

00:28:29.180 Chicago and around

00:28:29.980 it's like fine you know

00:28:31.980 my first political

00:28:32.920 fundraiser was literally

00:28:34.040 for Andrew Cuomo it

00:28:36.080 wasn't because I wanted

00:28:37.540 to support it no hear me

00:28:38.520 out it wasn't because I

00:28:39.280 wanted to support a

00:28:40.020 Democrat it was because

00:28:40.820 he was the attorney

00:28:41.380 general of New York and

00:28:42.240 if you're gonna build a

00:28:42.940 building he's the guy

00:28:43.760 that signs off on your

00:28:44.600 offering plan so you play

00:28:46.140 the game it was like my

00:28:47.520 father in the debate

00:28:48.300 with Hillary was like well

00:28:49.480 Donald Trump doesn't pay

00:28:51.140 taxes he go yeah and

00:28:52.920 if you wanted to do

00:28:53.680 something about taxes that

00:28:55.460 your billionaire friends

00:28:56.480 also don't pay you to

00:28:58.600 change it in the tax

00:28:59.680 code when you were in

00:29:00.340 the Senate for it but

00:29:01.740 you're not going to do

00:29:02.720 that that makes me smart

00:29:04.440 not stupid so you know

00:29:06.720 you have to ask understand

00:29:07.880 the game how long before

00:29:09.040 Andrew Cuomo becomes a

00:29:10.340 Republican I look at that

00:29:14.960 guy and I'm like I just

00:29:16.080 judge everything on

00:29:16.800 testosterone level and

00:29:19.000 like Tim Walls is the

00:29:20.840 perfect Democratic man yeah

00:29:23.120 I mean you can just feel

00:29:25.820 the the self-hate and the

00:29:27.720 creepiness and the

00:29:28.780 passive aggression the

00:29:30.400 sweaty palms and nothing

00:29:32.280 about a flamboyance only

00:29:33.460 when they what a couple

00:29:35.040 weeks ago when they're

00:29:35.680 like the Republican the

00:29:37.520 party they fear Tim

00:29:38.860 Waltz I'm watching him

00:29:39.660 like prance out like I'm

00:29:40.960 like I'm like but no but

00:29:43.320 that's what they think is

00:29:44.340 masculine I'm like I don't

00:29:45.620 know man that guy wouldn't

00:29:46.420 last like three seconds with

00:29:47.560 anyone I know oh no

00:29:48.920 totally but Andrew Cuomo

00:29:51.580 who I think was a horrible

00:29:53.100 governor and horrible

00:29:54.720 during COVID I'm not in

00:29:55.940 any way endorsing Andrew

00:29:56.980 Cuomo but you know not a

00:29:58.340 low-t character so like how

00:30:00.440 long can he remain in that

00:30:01.580 party I think by the way I

00:30:03.080 think both Cuomo brothers

00:30:04.280 like Chris Cuomo is like a

00:30:05.520 frat boy meathead like do

00:30:07.180 do does he really believe no

00:30:09.520 a three-year-old should get

00:30:10.920 transgender surgeon like you

00:30:12.300 know he's playing that game

00:30:13.700 and he's getting paid well to

00:30:14.820 do it and sometimes you need

00:30:16.080 to put out the guy that

00:30:16.900 looks like the masculine

00:30:17.760 guy and it's like come on

00:30:19.020 like you know those guys

00:30:19.980 are one day they're gonna

00:30:20.740 be like okay we were just

00:30:21.540 kidding like it's just

00:30:22.200 there's a hundred percent

00:30:23.300 chance of that a hundred

00:30:24.600 percent chance I know

00:30:25.540 these guys for years like

00:30:26.740 you know like I said with

00:30:28.960 with Andrew I mean his

00:30:30.660 like mother used to sit

00:30:32.140 next to my grandmother at

00:30:33.560 the salon in Queens New

00:30:35.380 York like we go back a long

00:30:37.000 way and so when he did that

00:30:38.800 like abrupt turn that's when

00:30:41.080 you're like the politics is

00:30:42.240 such nonsense like I you

00:30:43.400 know I'd see that I got to

00:30:44.960 be a fly on the wall on

00:30:45.940 these things and he would

00:30:46.640 back channel through me

00:30:47.540 because I was best friends

00:30:48.340 with one of his biggest

00:30:49.080 fundraisers like who was a

00:30:50.460 big real estate guy in New

00:30:51.540 York and they'd be like

00:30:52.180 all right we're gonna do

00:30:53.040 this we're gonna do that

00:30:53.700 we're gonna and he's like

00:30:54.580 thanks for setting that up

00:30:55.620 Don the administration got

00:30:56.880 us everything we needed

00:30:57.540 but the second he got on

00:30:58.660 TV it was politic it was

00:31:01.060 politically expedient to

00:31:03.020 just lie about it you know

00:31:05.560 just tell you the opposite

00:31:06.660 it was almost honestly I

00:31:07.700 almost had like I had a lot

00:31:08.800 more respect frankly for

00:31:09.860 Gavin Newsom in California

00:31:11.060 when he was like you know

00:31:11.920 what Trump said he was

00:31:13.100 gonna get us this and he

00:31:13.940 did like I was like at

00:31:15.580 least he's being

00:31:16.180 intellectually honest but

00:31:17.620 Cuomo whether he wanted

00:31:18.660 to continue his political

00:31:19.600 rear you know the media

00:31:20.820 was like everyone now in

00:31:22.300 the room they're a Cuomo

00:31:23.640 sexual like like he was

00:31:24.980 this big sex symbol all of

00:31:26.080 a sudden

00:31:26.440 what it gets me too and

00:31:28.560 that was over

00:31:29.040 that's like a whole new

00:31:29.860 category a Cuomo sexual

00:31:31.220 you know CNN was saying

00:31:32.700 that like all these women

00:31:33.640 for Cuomo they were

00:31:34.480 Cuomo sexual

00:31:35.220 let me just be on the

00:31:35.980 record I'm against

00:31:36.920 Cuomo sexuality

00:31:37.640 I'm with you but he knew

00:31:41.000 what was really going on

00:31:42.460 he had the opportunity to

00:31:43.820 be honest but he wasn't

00:31:45.040 able to forego the hey

00:31:47.440 anything you say against

00:31:48.960 Trump like we'll make you

00:31:49.860 a hero we're gonna elevate

00:31:51.060 your stature in the

00:31:51.940 Democrat Party we're gonna

00:31:52.920 give you that shot at the

00:31:55.220 presidency next you just

00:31:56.960 have to bastardize literally

00:31:58.180 everything you know to be

00:31:59.540 good and true about what

00:32:01.100 was going on and so you

00:32:02.480 know that was that was hard

00:32:03.380 to watch because I was part

00:32:04.360 of some of these

00:32:04.800 conversations

00:32:05.460 so what did I mean what

00:32:07.820 do your friend you know

00:32:08.880 the guys you grew up with

00:32:09.940 or the people you worked

00:32:10.880 with in New York City I

00:32:12.760 mean you're so on the

00:32:14.620 record about what you

00:32:15.500 really think you're clearly

00:32:16.580 saying exactly what you

00:32:17.980 actually think what do

00:32:19.720 they I mean what do they

00:32:20.980 say to you now you know

00:32:22.620 it was actually honestly it

00:32:24.200 was one of for me it was

00:32:24.960 one of the more refreshing

00:32:25.780 things in life that

00:32:28.200 doesn't mean it wasn't

00:32:28.800 brutal and sort of like a

00:32:30.000 shock at the time but like

00:32:31.220 there are guys that I've

00:32:33.340 been friends with for life

00:32:34.260 I'm still friends with for

00:32:35.780 life there are guys that

00:32:36.620 are literally like hardcore

00:32:37.620 Democrats that were like

00:32:38.580 that have just been

00:32:40.140 successful Eric here's you

00:32:41.880 know literally one one of

00:32:43.140 my buddies who's very left

00:32:44.340 he was like here's a

00:32:44.840 hundred thousand dollars

00:32:45.420 for your campaign why like

00:32:47.500 what do you mean I just

00:32:48.980 believe in you and I don't

00:32:50.100 believe it but like it's

00:32:52.020 just a show of support and

00:32:53.520 then there's the guys that

00:32:54.380 would be like texting me

00:32:55.460 hey Don I love everything

00:32:57.460 that you're doing I let you

00:32:58.540 guys are great keep it up

00:32:59.660 keep it up and then I'd

00:33:01.180 watch him on Facebook where

00:33:02.120 there's an audience I

00:33:03.600 can't believe they'd say

00:33:04.660 this this is a disgrace

00:33:05.480 I'm like dude I follow you

00:33:06.160 on both play like you

00:33:06.800 don't think I'm gonna see

00:33:07.420 that and then there are

00:33:09.780 the guys that sort of you

00:33:10.920 know stay radio silent and

00:33:12.480 you know the day after we

00:33:13.640 won hey man I was with you

00:33:15.460 all along so from you have

00:33:17.340 like they weren't they're

00:33:18.320 like no no no I really was

00:33:19.340 I was like I've called you

00:33:20.300 like 15 times you haven't

00:33:21.100 returned my phone call in

00:33:21.800 six months like like like

00:33:23.800 not an imbecile like like

00:33:25.980 so for me it was great I

00:33:28.860 I actually all those

00:33:30.920 people and we all

00:33:31.580 probably have them you

00:33:32.380 know that guy you meet

00:33:33.140 every year every other

00:33:34.060 year for sort of the

00:33:34.840 obligatory lunch and you're

00:33:35.880 like oh I gotta do it

00:33:36.860 because I knew him since

00:33:37.460 college or whatever and

00:33:38.340 you're not really excited

00:33:39.220 about it because like all

00:33:40.980 of those people in my life

00:33:41.920 just gone it's so

00:33:43.460 refreshing yeah it was

00:33:45.200 just cathartic and I was

00:33:46.220 like you know it was

00:33:46.920 great so what I was I've

00:33:50.720 been brooding about this as

00:33:51.720 I said earlier all month

00:33:53.120 have those relationships been

00:33:55.380 replaced by new

00:33:56.300 relationships 100% you

00:33:58.660 know I I see it and again

00:34:00.240 I you know the the amount

00:34:02.860 of people that I meet just

00:34:04.540 you know around the

00:34:05.380 country now and frankly

00:34:06.220 I'm that guy that shows up

00:34:07.400 by myself and you know

00:34:08.360 like I you know don't have

00:34:09.460 teams of handlers that

00:34:10.540 like well this person has

00:34:11.960 access and like I just you

00:34:13.360 know you actually have no

00:34:14.420 handlers at all yeah yeah

00:34:16.380 well you see that you

00:34:17.760 have shown up plenty of

00:34:18.920 places including here

00:34:19.840 tonight uh you know just

00:34:21.220 like yeah I'm here like

00:34:22.060 whatever give me a mic I'm

00:34:23.200 not bad at this I can

00:34:23.900 probably handle it and be

00:34:24.800 fine um you know I've

00:34:27.460 met so so many incredible

00:34:28.740 people and you know it's

00:34:30.500 been awesome actually and

00:34:31.640 and so again to your

00:34:32.700 point about just sort of

00:34:33.480 having a pulse it's like

00:34:34.360 those people that were

00:34:35.120 like rich out of touch

00:34:36.740 people because there's no

00:34:37.680 consequence to sort of

00:34:39.240 you know we'll be really

00:34:40.440 woke and we can virtue

00:34:41.660 signal all day long and

00:34:42.880 you know who cares if

00:34:43.900 someone you know in a

00:34:44.820 far-off state is getting

00:34:45.760 murdered like my kids have

00:34:46.740 security driving them to

00:34:47.720 school it's like those

00:34:49.020 people have been replaced

00:34:49.980 by like real Americans who

00:34:51.200 are just genuinely good

00:34:52.280 people and like and it's

00:34:54.140 been awesome for me it's

00:34:55.360 been awesome I believe

00:34:56.980 that I mean just moving

00:34:58.320 to Florida right it's like

00:34:59.960 I I like I was a

00:35:01.400 political refugee from the

00:35:02.680 People's Republic of New

00:35:03.740 York now it's

00:35:05.440 what what's that been like

00:35:09.740 moving to Florida

00:35:10.520 honestly it's surreal and

00:35:12.820 honestly I wasn't sure I'd

00:35:13.800 like it I was like I've

00:35:14.840 been coming here my whole

00:35:15.600 life we've had assets and

00:35:17.260 like we vacation here but

00:35:19.200 like you know I was like

00:35:20.500 like you know I love like

00:35:21.640 the seasons and I love my

00:35:22.740 cabin on the river and

00:35:23.800 you know you know what

00:35:24.360 the stuff I'm into is like

00:35:25.180 you know Florida's kind of

00:35:26.160 flat and like now it's

00:35:28.500 like very flat yeah and

00:35:30.100 now I'm like I literally

00:35:31.560 like you couldn't pay me to

00:35:33.060 move back like you you

00:35:34.420 couldn't now like you know

00:35:38.640 where I live I mean I can

00:35:39.760 I can show up to the

00:35:40.560 nicest restaurant in town

00:35:41.640 and like flip-flops in a

00:35:42.520 t-shirt and I'm usually

00:35:43.320 that kind of and it's

00:35:44.360 like hey Don what's going

00:35:45.860 on it's like I feel like

00:35:46.960 Norm at Cheers like over

00:35:50.060 an entire state with a

00:35:51.380 population of like 25

00:35:52.620 million people like that

00:35:53.840 is an awesome feeling that

00:35:55.580 is it that is an awesome

00:35:56.480 feeling I mean you I don't

00:36:00.780 know people know this but

00:36:01.360 you're like bombing around

00:36:02.520 flying commercial you're

00:36:03.760 always out how do people

00:36:05.480 treat you honestly well

00:36:07.480 listen when I do that I go

00:36:09.720 casually but that's what I'm

00:36:10.980 saying when I talk about

00:36:11.900 the pulse like I can't I

00:36:14.240 literally can't name a

00:36:15.620 negative instance in like a

00:36:16.880 year like every once in a

00:36:17.740 while you get some guy like

00:36:18.560 like usually you know

00:36:20.280 everyone's a badass on the

00:36:21.280 internet everyone's a tough

00:36:22.200 guy you know behind a

00:36:23.340 keyboard but like face to

00:36:24.300 face it's like they shut up

00:36:26.880 but so you know when I try

00:36:28.600 just going into I took more

00:36:29.780 I took 75 selfies getting

00:36:31.100 from like the door of the

00:36:32.560 hotel here today to the

00:36:33.920 elevator and back out and

00:36:35.120 it's like so people have

00:36:37.560 been great I literally can't

00:36:38.680 name an instance that's been

00:36:40.280 negative and in in 16 I'm

00:36:44.920 not saying it was terrible but

00:36:45.980 it definitely was like you

00:36:47.640 know 5% of it was visceral

00:36:49.400 reaction 10% was a negative

00:36:50.920 reaction like I can't

00:36:52.140 remember like the last

00:36:53.420 negative reaction I've

00:36:55.440 gotten publicly and now to

00:37:00.920 what we sort of started on

00:37:01.980 when I talk about what I see

00:37:03.520 changing this shift now is

00:37:06.920 like it's demographics that

00:37:08.440 you'd be like no way like

00:37:10.660 what do you mean I was

00:37:13.340 talking with Kimberly the

00:37:14.180 other day she's like you

00:37:15.540 know the the the amount

00:37:16.880 like African-American men

00:37:18.960 and women now coming up to

00:37:20.380 me back you guys I love you

00:37:21.660 like you have to win before

00:37:23.940 there could have been some

00:37:24.640 people be like interesting

00:37:25.960 maybe take a selfie like you

00:37:27.920 know screaming make America

00:37:29.620 great again across an airport

00:37:30.940 and they like you know

00:37:32.540 Hispanic you know just all of

00:37:35.760 them you know on the

00:37:37.420 African-American side it's

00:37:38.240 definitely more men but it's

00:37:39.820 like we're in a place it's

00:37:40.780 like Kim was like you took

00:37:42.340 a selfie with every black

00:37:45.240 guy that was in this room

00:37:46.060 came up to you to take a

00:37:46.960 selfie like be like you got to

00:37:48.480 win like that would have

00:37:50.460 never happened it's just you

00:37:52.180 know the Hispanic demographic

00:37:53.680 across the country there they

00:37:55.480 get what's going on they

00:37:56.560 understand what's happening

00:37:57.600 you know the people who came

00:38:00.360 into America legally and went

00:38:02.640 through that process like

00:38:04.520 they're some of the greatest

00:38:05.600 patriots in our country like

00:38:07.960 they get it

00:38:11.380 and what's happening now is so

00:38:16.740 insulting to them to the rest

00:38:19.780 of us who are born here so

00:38:20.960 they're using our country like

00:38:23.960 a rental car just bumping into

00:38:25.800 things not changing the oil

00:38:27.180 they have no respect at all for

00:38:29.220 our country which we love well

00:38:31.380 and that's precisely the point I

00:38:33.040 think the Democrat Party is

00:38:35.560 aware that they've literally

00:38:36.920 ostracized the reliable

00:38:38.760 floating blocks for the

00:38:39.860 Democrat Party so it's like

00:38:41.660 well you know rather than

00:38:43.040 maybe do the right thing for

00:38:44.460 them you know at the risk of

00:38:45.780 like some offending maybe

00:38:46.820 suburban women or something

00:38:47.840 like that whatever it may be

00:38:48.680 there's like why don't we just

00:38:50.080 import 20 million people who

00:38:51.380 will be permanent dependents

00:38:52.760 like I said you know when you

00:38:54.880 look at a graph like I was

00:38:55.880 talking about you know half a

00:38:57.120 million known criminals you

00:38:58.820 know 16,000 you know sex

00:39:00.960 offenders 13,000 murderers

00:39:03.540 they're like ah it's fine it's

00:39:05.520 just it's you know think about

00:39:08.180 that I mean it's insane and

00:39:10.140 people get it but rather than

00:39:11.280 just do the right thing for all

00:39:12.720 of America they're like nah we

00:39:14.420 can't do that we got to stick

00:39:15.540 with our nonsense and this we'll

00:39:17.140 just bring in 20 million people

00:39:18.500 who who will permanently be

00:39:20.340 dependent on government and if

00:39:21.480 you're permanently dependent on

00:39:22.760 government because you're

00:39:24.180 unwilling incapable of doing it

00:39:27.480 otherwise yeah you're going to

00:39:29.600 be a Democrat voter they

00:39:30.740 recognize that this is not an

00:39:32.220 anomaly this is not out of the

00:39:34.180 kindness of their hearts

00:39:35.140 there's a reason like a genius

00:39:37.560 computer programmer from

00:39:39.340 Eastern Europe cannot get into

00:39:40.900 America that guy could create

00:39:42.120 jobs be a business be a value

00:39:44.420 add you know an actual

00:39:46.580 political refugee from Havana

00:39:48.240 Cuba that's being shot at like

00:39:49.800 that guy doesn't get the same

00:39:51.320 treatment as if you come across

00:39:52.460 the southern border because

00:39:54.540 they're escaping the system that

00:39:56.840 the Democrats are trying to

00:39:58.240 instill right here in America

00:39:59.580 they're not voting for that

00:40:01.960 like and like I guess you know

00:40:06.120 the the intro of like my

00:40:08.640 political leanings is like my

00:40:10.300 mom escaped a communist country

00:40:12.140 she did so legally maybe not

00:40:14.180 legally leaving there but legally

00:40:16.620 getting in here and like one of

00:40:19.020 the and I don't I don't think it

00:40:20.640 was intentional I think it was

00:40:21.580 more about life than it was about

00:40:22.820 politics but like the reason I

00:40:25.480 sort of started feeling the way I

00:40:26.700 always did about politics and life

00:40:28.300 was because as a child she was

00:40:30.960 like you're really lucky like

00:40:33.120 you're really spoiled you've been

00:40:34.420 really blessed like you're gonna

00:40:35.900 go see how like the rest of the

00:40:37.520 world lives and so she sent me to

00:40:38.900 what was then communist

00:40:39.740 Czechoslovakia behind the Iron

00:40:41.080 Curtain in the 1980s I spoke the

00:40:43.220 language fluently I'd go spend my

00:40:44.660 like six weeks every summer there

00:40:46.140 like as I five six seven ten you

00:40:48.060 know till I was went to college

00:40:49.520 basically you know I've waited in

00:40:52.400 those bread lines like I can assure

00:40:53.760 you they are not as glamorous as

00:40:55.120 Bernie Sanders would have you

00:40:56.360 believe you notice how there's no

00:40:58.600 one in America like espousing the

00:41:00.360 values of like pre like you know

00:41:03.180 fall of the wall like in America

00:41:06.140 like if a system is so good why are

00:41:08.360 there no advocates for it who've

00:41:09.800 actually lived under those systems

00:41:11.380 like if it was so great you'd think

00:41:13.620 you'd have a couple guys be like no

00:41:14.980 no we got to try it here only like

00:41:17.660 you know these like virtue signaling

00:41:19.560 clowns it's gonna be different this

00:41:21.720 time Tucker you know 20 million

00:41:22.800 people dead it's gonna be different

00:41:24.060 you know it doesn't happen that way

00:41:26.680 so you know I saw that I remember it

00:41:28.900 was weird it was one of the

00:41:29.880 conversations I had with my

00:41:30.920 grandfather early on I was like I

00:41:32.860 saw the picture of my parents

00:41:34.100 wedding I'm looking I'm like you

00:41:36.800 know it's in the little you know

00:41:38.120 little communist building in

00:41:39.560 Zlin Czechoslovakia and like like

00:41:42.680 why isn't my grandmother in the

00:41:44.280 picture I'm a kid like I you know

00:41:45.420 was she the one taking the picture

00:41:46.540 no she wasn't in the picture because

00:41:49.560 they the government wouldn't let

00:41:51.240 them both leave because they knew

00:41:54.080 both were never coming back if they

00:41:55.780 were both so they literally held

00:41:57.000 someone as a political hostage to

00:41:58.600 not go to their daughter's wedding

00:42:00.140 because they understood that if they

00:42:03.100 left the country they're never

00:42:04.020 coming back like what kind of system

00:42:05.500 is that we're bringing that here

00:42:06.580 right now they're not even hiding

00:42:08.220 from it anymore before we're like you

00:42:09.860 know in 16 we're like they're got a

00:42:11.700 gun and communist well not really

00:42:13.760 like they're saying these things out

00:42:15.760 loud price controls on this we're

00:42:17.380 gonna write everything I mean it's

00:42:19.580 literally a playbook they're not even

00:42:21.000 pretending anymore we have to be

00:42:22.200 aware of that and they're using

00:42:23.520 violence as a political tool I hate

00:42:26.800 to say that I hate to believe it and

00:42:28.460 I hate even to bring this up but I'm

00:42:29.760 going to and if you don't talk we

00:42:30.760 don't have to but from what I can

00:42:33.940 tell the Biden administration which

00:42:35.560 controls the security for the Trump

00:42:37.200 campaign is withholding security and

00:42:40.800 that's you know an incitement to

00:42:42.900 violence that's a that's election

00:42:44.500 interference using the threat of

00:42:46.040 violence yeah no I mean yeah no it's

00:42:52.880 listen it's a it's a little hard I

00:42:55.460 mean I have five young kids as we

00:42:58.000 discussed and I've now had to have 10

00:42:59.900 conversations about their grandfather

00:43:03.200 who they love almost being killed

00:43:04.740 because I've had to do it twice like as

00:43:07.980 the nominee of one of the major parties

00:43:11.180 and maybe the leading candidate for

00:43:12.780 president of the United States like how

00:43:15.180 how does that happen even once you know

00:43:18.420 I was with my daughter who you know

00:43:20.700 she spoke at the RNC some of you guys

00:43:24.300 may have seen that

00:43:24.960 yeah she's she's she's a great kid she's

00:43:32.380 a competitive athlete she's got it yeah

00:43:33.600 but she was never political but like she

00:43:35.220 plays golf with my dad every weekend

00:43:37.220 she was with me like yeah I got the rare

00:43:39.980 call from my daughter you know again

00:44:20.580 trying to call I guess the one thing that

00:44:21.920 was done right by Secret Service that

00:44:23.200 day I guess they shut off communication so

00:44:24.560 I couldn't get in or out like you know

00:44:26.360 everything else seems like a total

00:44:27.880 disaster and I don't mean like one lapse

00:44:29.840 of error I'm like you let a shooter on a

00:44:32.500 roof for 20 minutes like you know you knew

00:44:35.640 about it 10 minutes before you still let

00:44:50.220 hard red-blooded Americans and others

00:44:51.880 are journeyman bureaucrats you know we

00:44:54.700 seem to have gotten all of the

00:44:56.160 bureaucrats that day other than some of

00:44:58.300 the guys you know on my dad's team that

00:45:00.160 day on the stage and I'm like that

00:45:30.440 like okay well when I saw you get up

00:45:32.400 like that that was the most badass

00:45:34.080 thing I've ever seen someone do like

00:45:35.500 most of us well actually all of us go

00:45:40.100 through our daily lives using all sorts

00:45:41.660 of quote free technology without paying

00:45:44.900 attention to why it's quote free who's

00:45:47.700 paying for this and how think about it

00:45:50.500 for a minute think about your free email

00:45:52.360 account the free messenger system used to

00:45:54.980 chat with your friends the free other

00:45:57.100 weather app or game app you open up and

00:45:59.780 never think about it's all free but is

00:46:02.840 it no it's not free these companies

00:46:06.400 aren't developing expensive products and

00:46:08.360 just giving them to you because they

00:46:09.740 love you they're doing it because their

00:46:12.500 programs take all your information they

00:46:14.440 hoover up your data private personal data

00:46:17.520 and sell it to data brokers and the

00:46:20.260 government and all of those people who

00:46:23.280 are not your friends are very interested in

00:46:25.400 manipulating you and your personal

00:46:27.560 political and financial decisions it's

00:46:29.860 scary as hell and it's happening out in

00:46:32.340 the open without anybody saying anything

00:46:33.760 about it this is a huge problem and we've

00:46:36.880 been talking about this problem to our

00:46:38.880 friend Eric Prince for years someone

00:46:40.480 needs to fix this and he and his partners

00:46:42.960 have and now we're partners with them and

00:46:45.140 their company is called unplugged it's not

00:46:47.700 a software company it's a hardware company

00:46:50.180 they actually make a phone the phone is

00:46:52.880 called unplugged and it's more than that

00:46:55.300 the purpose of the phone is to protect

00:46:57.500 you from having your life stolen your

00:47:02.440 data stolen it's designed from a privacy

00:47:05.100 first perspective it's got an operating

00:47:08.440 system that they made it's called

00:47:09.560 messenger and other apps that help you

00:47:11.060 take charge of your personal data and

00:47:12.680 prevent it from getting passed around to

00:47:15.240 data brokers and government agencies that

00:47:17.320 will use it to manipulate you unplugged

00:47:20.080 skin is to its customers they will promise

00:47:22.500 you and they mean it that your data are not

00:47:24.500 being sold or monetized or shared with

00:47:26.540 anyone from basics like its custom

00:47:29.700 libertas operating system which they

00:47:31.380 wrote which is designed from the very

00:47:33.620 first day to keep your personal data on

00:47:35.580 your device it also has believe it or not

00:47:38.140 a true on off switch that shuts off the

00:47:41.300 power it actually disconnects your battery

00:47:43.100 and ensures that your microphone and your

00:47:46.020 camera are turned off completely when you

00:47:48.460 want them to be so they're not spying on

00:48:46.740 it should have never been allowed to

00:49:06.140 happen we all know sort of no one

00:49:07.540 understand that and then you know the

00:49:08.840 sort of uncomfortable conversation for a

00:49:10.440 little bit and then finally you know I'm

00:49:12.060 usually the inappropriate one and so I was

00:49:14.320 like okay listen dad most importantly

00:49:17.620 how's the hair

00:49:19.660 Don Don the hair is fine Don little bloody

00:49:26.340 lots of blood but the hair is fine like

00:49:29.320 you know you can see like Ivanka's eyes are

00:49:31.660 rolling about but I was like we needed to

00:49:35.460 we needed to break the ice and I was like

00:49:36.940 everything it was okay but you know you know

00:49:38.780 the next day was Sunday and you're sort of

00:49:40.160 getting over this adrenaline dump and you know

00:49:42.000 you're figuring out all these lapses I'm at

00:49:44.000 this point I'm just furious right I'm you know

00:49:46.000 going back and forth with Dan Bungie you know

00:49:48.340 it was the secret service you know like all

00:49:49.580 day long like what we're just getting each

00:49:51.920 other more and more worked up and I you know

00:49:55.000 but that Monday morning I woke up and it's I

00:49:58.080 get a call it's like my daughter like you

00:49:59.600 know and she's like dad it was the week of

00:50:02.540 the RNC she's like it's Monday morning over

00:50:04.240 the RNC she's like I want to speak at the

00:50:06.600 RNC and I'm like what like I'm like that's

00:50:11.980 kind of a big one like that's like your

00:50:13.780 first speech ever like you know and when I

00:50:16.120 was that age I'd been like nervous in front

00:50:17.600 of like 10 people in my classroom and you know

00:50:21.360 but she she understood sort of what it was

00:50:23.500 and she was like I I'm sick of this crap I'm

00:50:26.100 sick of the lies about him I'm sick of the

00:50:28.120 and like so you know she did that but you

00:50:33.600 the fact then you know then I have to have a

00:50:35.580 conversation with her two months later it

00:50:38.420 almost happened again and by the way just so

00:50:41.680 we're clear within minutes you know you have

00:50:43.680 Hillary Clinton saying he's literally the

00:50:45.620 greatest threat to democracy ever he's worse

00:50:47.900 than Hitler I'm like I don't know we had a

00:50:49.740 prosperous economy we had no wars we went

00:50:52.480 from prosperity to poverty as a country we

00:50:56.100 went from peace to war I mean like I don't

00:51:00.420 know probably but they've been doing it for

00:51:02.900 nine years you're telling me it's not on

00:51:04.640 purpose you're telling me it's not

00:51:06.060 intentional radicalization you're telling

00:51:08.660 me they're not asking for it I mean this

00:51:10.720 week I had to get the call be like hey

00:51:12.320 you're like one of the Iran targets because

00:51:14.100 you know if they can't get your dad they want

00:51:15.840 to inflict as much damage and they know

00:51:17.340 you're lower profile and you know you can

00:51:19.140 do just as much damage to someone but maybe

00:51:21.020 you know if it's the son or you know someone

00:51:23.480 else in the family maybe that won't elicit a

00:51:25.440 response from the American military so they

00:51:27.300 can they can inflict pain without actually

00:51:29.120 doing it like that's not a conversation I

00:51:30.960 love having I've I've grown probably far too

00:51:33.640 accustomed to it but like you know but it's

00:51:37.040 why we just all have to say enough of this

00:51:38.980 stuff you know like the media attacks like

00:51:43.960 it's disgusting with no actual evidence you

00:51:47.460 know they'd say every day for nine years like

00:51:49.420 of course they're asking for it to happen like

00:51:51.660 there's no other plausible explanation I it's

00:51:54.000 like Wuhan lab league like of course it came from

00:51:57.060 the lab that studies the exact virus in the town

00:51:59.700 that was ground zero for the virus like no no no

00:52:02.880 Anthony Fauci said it didn't and if you agree

00:52:05.320 with him and you're a doctor you'll lose your

00:52:07.060 government funding and you'll lose your research

00:52:09.100 grant there I got yeah I got canceled for that

00:52:13.520 one at the time because I was like um like of

00:52:17.200 course it did you're not a virologist Don I was

00:52:20.220 like you don't have to be a virologist you just have

00:52:22.060 to not be an imbecile like like you like it's not

00:52:27.400 that hard like of course it did but like all great

00:52:31.300 conspiracy theories we know we find out the truth a

00:52:33.300 couple weeks later so I don't understand two things one

00:52:40.580 how the Congress hasn't gotten to the bottom of the

00:52:44.620 security lapses yeah like how hard is that no one's

00:52:50.320 been fired not one person's been fired in the

00:52:53.340 entire federal government for that I don't

00:52:55.860 it's almost like there's a lot of people that are

00:52:58.860 okay with it Tucker I mean no but like what what else

00:53:01.920 is it I mean we've had some conversations with people

00:53:03.780 that we can't sort of we're not going to out because

00:53:06.360 they know more than we do but it's like well they

00:53:09.560 they have the ability to get that information and

00:53:11.840 they're not given it by the the three letter agencies

00:53:15.600 that are literally supposed to report to them it's

00:53:17.760 like no no we know better you know at some point what like

00:53:21.340 where's the point where you have like a sit-in in

00:53:23.300 someone's office like I'm not moving until you answer the

00:53:25.840 question or we cut off the funding immediately or you just

00:53:29.840 no seriously you have a a march on you know DHS headquarters

00:53:35.600 where 500,000 people show up and say we're not leaving until

00:53:39.340 you give us the answer yeah they'll all get thrown in jail for

00:53:42.140 being insurrectionists whether they do any answer you

00:53:44.200 no it's January 6th right it was literally it's almost amazing

00:53:47.780 it was the first unarmed insurrection in the history of

00:53:51.080 the world the only people that were armed were the tour

00:53:53.920 guides that magically worked for the FBI that were all there

00:53:56.660 they couldn't release the videos because it would expose

00:54:00.520 too many of their assets implanted in the group I'm like well

00:54:02.980 why didn't any of those assets actually try to stop it it's

00:54:05.260 almost like it was a plan almost almost like but you know

00:54:12.320 there are grandmothers that are sitting in jail because of

00:54:14.340 where they were within 500 miles of DC or you're like they're

00:54:17.400 taking selfies inside the velvet ropes like that's not an

00:54:19.960 insurrectionist they didn't even know what they're supposed to

00:54:21.440 be in the room like also isn't it doesn't it belong to them

00:54:25.180 yeah isn't it the people's house isn't this our country don't

00:54:30.020 we pay for it didn't our ancestors build it I thought that

00:54:33.000 was the story they go to jail but if you burn down Seattle or

00:54:37.820 portland or kedosha wisconsin you know you get to be vice president

00:54:42.780 under the democrat regime you can allow that to happen it's fine

00:54:45.780 there's no consequence no one goes to jail billions dollars

00:54:48.240 actually people murdered that's different the existing vice president

00:54:53.360 who's running at the top of the ticket can fundraise for those

00:54:56.620 people publicly and the guy that let the city the major city in the

00:55:02.040 state that he's the governor of can allow it to burn down

00:55:04.780 and you know that's fine as long as you put tampons in boys bathrooms

00:55:09.320 like you're forgiven it's okay no no no you're you're you know what

00:55:14.040 you're supposed to do with those I'm right don't even tell me um so

00:55:19.180 vote vote call all your friends vote like your republic depends on it

00:55:24.640 because it does

00:55:25.580 it does I you know I'm not worried in Florida but I'm sure everyone from

00:55:31.240 Florida is basically from somewhere else you know make sure your friends in the

00:55:34.700 swing state

00:55:35.300 you know apathy is what's going to kill this because they're going to play

00:55:38.340 games I listen

00:55:39.400 like we discussed you know if they showed up with 12 billion votes on you know

00:55:44.040 the morning after election day they'll tell you it's the most free and fair

00:55:46.580 election ever we

00:55:47.280 like

00:55:47.980 like we can't take any of it for granted

00:55:51.200 you know you discuss sort of polling in your opening it's like

00:55:54.000 the polling is all bs right half of it's designed to demoralize you the

00:55:58.280 other half is designed to make you overconfident none of it matters the only

00:56:01.600 poll that matters is the final tally on November 5th but the way I look in many

00:56:07.500 of the places usually those places that are swing states you know they're

00:56:10.300 controlled entirely by a democrat legislature or the republicans are so

00:56:13.400 weak that they're worried about the bad article in the local paper like to win by

00:56:17.440 win we got to win by five that's it act accordingly

00:56:21.560 so given this is my my last question but I I'm looking for hope the core problem is corruption

00:56:29.200 every institution many institutions in American life have been revealed to be corrupt it's so

00:56:35.220 distressing to see it so demoralizing to watch it it has to be fixed it's too corrupt to

00:56:40.260 continue if they can allow the other party's presidential candidate to be shot in the face

00:56:44.740 and no one's even fired then we've reached a point where can't have any more of this

00:56:48.720 so starting January 20th do you have hope that that corruption can be rooted out

00:56:54.740 I do I do

00:56:57.380 the reality is this and I honestly I think it's why both sides frankly are going so much harder

00:57:05.520 against my father this time around now he actually knows he knows who the liars are he knows who the

00:57:12.640 scumbags are he knows I'm on your side it's like you know here's a tweet from seven minutes ago when I

00:57:18.140 walked into your endorsement to get an endorsement uh you know I'll disregard the last five years of

00:57:22.920 everything I've been saying that's bad about you it's now he knows and that's why he's a greater threat

00:57:28.160 right when he before you know when we were talking about transition last time around it's like

00:57:33.140 I was like so who do you know in DC it's like I've been in DC for less than two days of my entire life

00:57:37.920 he didn't know so you trust even those people on your side you had no other way to do it you know in

00:57:42.420 business it's different it's like you sort of understand what people's motivation is it's usually you know profit

00:57:47.280 or they you know there's not like in politics like your best friend will snake you to get a good

00:57:52.340 favorable article that lets him get the next consulting gig like they'll bastardize everything they believe in

00:57:58.440 there's no there's no honor in it there's no there's no no one actually has a belief system in

00:58:03.480 Washington DC but for three or four people the belief system is power and they'll do whatever they can

00:58:09.860 to have that power there's no real consequence to a law so if your party's not in charge fine

00:58:13.500 you sit in the wings waiting till the next opportunity for you to make you know your

00:58:18.320 seven-figure gig a month for you know representing the scumbags uh I think the fact that he gets that

00:58:24.340 now uh he's seen those people turn on him I think that scares again especially the people on our side

00:58:29.740 that much more uh so there is hope beyond that there's hope that you know people also getting it

00:58:36.300 they're they're showing up they're they're not just listening to sort of the two minutes

00:58:40.400 you know of news in the background of being like oh that must be true I saw it on CNN it's like

00:58:44.820 no it's probably the opposite of that um and so you know again the fact that you know we're five

00:58:53.720 weeks out from an election and we're filling up a stadium like this of people like it's hard to

00:58:59.140 that's amazing I mean people they're now finally vested in the success of their country that should

00:59:08.000 have always been but we took it for granted as Americans I mean when I got into this I was naive

00:59:12.780 man when I I was a baby when I like well listen you know the CIA and FBI said I was colluding with

00:59:20.320 Russia I must have taken a selfie with someone like there had to be something to it I I genuinely

00:59:25.260 believed there had to be some truth to it because I wanted to believe everything I had been told about

00:59:29.980 our country and it turns out it was all nonsense there doesn't have to be any truth to any of it

00:59:35.780 so then I was sort of fighting to preserve an America I believe existed for my kids turns out

00:59:44.080 you know it may have never existed but certainly not in my lifetime and maybe longer than that

00:59:49.480 it was just sort of you know a visual representation you're we must get into these wars because of

00:59:55.580 patriotic reason I'm like well I don't know like why it's like why I get in trouble still for

00:59:59.960 questioning you know what's going on in Ukraine it's like well like what's our benefit

01:00:04.440 you know there's no benefit you know it's it's insane um and so now you know I'm fighting to

01:00:12.320 actually make real the the myth that I was sold about our country to actually make that exist that's

01:00:22.700 why I do this now that I'll just say I and I mean this truly I sincerely hope that you will run for

01:00:34.340 president at some point I mean that you never know folks you never know how about this let's

01:00:45.220 worry about 2024 right now but but but beyond that though not just president you know that that's the

01:00:53.380 thing like I hey I've been through it I've done my testimony for treason and it I don't want to just

01:00:59.160 win the president without the house or without the senate like like like that'll be hell for me and

01:01:05.520 my family for everyone for the day and and and for America like we gotta win everything we gotta win

01:01:12.460 down to the dog catcher we gotta win our state legislatures so we can like I don't know maybe

01:01:19.420 educate our children so maybe they learn like math rather than the 4,379 genders like you know we gotta

01:01:27.780 win you know all of our school boards we gotta win everything because we've sat back as conservatives

01:01:35.160 for you know whether we're building up businesses or we're you know I get it it's hard to get involved

01:01:39.760 it's hard to get in that fray no one probably understands it better than you know my family

01:01:43.740 other than maybe RFK Jr. uh you know like no one understands the consequence better than perhaps the

01:01:51.380 collective like uh ticket now but like we don't have a choice or or or it's not going to exist

01:01:58.400 again they're they're saying all of the things like you think if if they can literally you know

01:02:04.400 if impeaching Trump doesn't work twice well then we'll just try to take his businesses and we'll

01:02:10.540 fine him half a billion dollars for paying back loans on time with interest we'll we'll change the

01:02:15.580 statute of limitation of certain things for one year not in perpetuity because we want to be able

01:02:20.200 like they did in New York they literally the state of New York changed the statute of limitations

01:02:24.400 to allow them to go back 30 years for a nonsense case because they figured hey we could probably

01:02:29.480 get a favorable jury the second they charge Trump it changes back is that a democracy like

01:02:38.420 you know think about it I mean if that doesn't work you know well we'll try to throw him in jail

01:02:46.140 and if that doesn't work we'll just scream loudly enough that he's worse than Hitler to make people

01:02:51.000 literally try to kill him and then not give him the appropriate security protocols to protect him

01:02:56.980 like if they can do that to Donald Trump a guy that has the means to be able to fight back a guy that

01:03:03.700 has arguably one of the greatest political platforms ever assembled what some of the greatest most

01:03:08.480 patriotic people backing him the soapbox to get it out there if they can do it to him who can't they do

01:03:17.060 it to but more importantly if they will do it to him and they'll do it to him so aggressively and

01:03:22.340 so flagrantly who won't they do it to you think it stops with Trump no no no guys each and every one of

01:03:31.640 you is in the firing line good at this point almost no pun intended like it like we have to act

01:03:39.120 accordingly we have to take back our country um and so you know we're used to you know you how many

01:03:48.560 times have you heard it in your journalistic career Tucker it's literally the most important

01:03:52.420 election ever you know some guy running for dog catcher it's like it's literally like the world

01:03:57.820 depends on this like you know we're used to hearing that like this time that's real look at the stakes

01:04:05.220 look at where we are as a world look at where we are as a country the fact that it's even close in

01:04:09.620 some of these places show just how brainwashed so many people are again it's not a fair fight we know

01:04:15.620 that it doesn't matter to win like we actually have to play by the rules they've set elections like

01:04:23.560 like i i was in europe last week for two days like they're like what do you mean like you don't have

01:04:29.340 like paper ballots you don't have like voter id you like these basic things they're like these are

01:04:36.300 socialist countries and they think we're insane like that's you know but guess what to win

01:04:44.280 you have to play the hand that you're dealt they have dealt that hand they have stacked that hand

01:04:50.860 they've done every it doesn't matter we still have to play they want us to be demoralized they want

01:04:55.480 us to take our ball and go cry to mommy like they would love to see that we can't do it we have to

01:05:03.340 fight you know the same resolve i saw from my father coming up that day we all have to have that same

01:05:08.360 spirit because that is the embodiment of the america we know and love we just have to come out and
