00:00:00.000 We were just laughing about it in the studio a minute ago.
00:00:03.400 It was a year and a half ago this week.
00:00:06.700 It was October 27th, 2024, that we all went down to New York City
00:00:11.620 to the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden.
00:00:14.420 It was in the final moments of that campaign.
00:00:17.500 And it was really one of the most exciting political events,
00:00:21.280 even after a lifetime of going to political events, I've ever been to.
00:00:24.080 It was right in the middle of Manhattan, New York City,
00:00:27.640 a place that did not support Donald Trump, despite the fact he's from there.
00:00:32.340 And it was, again, days before the presidential election, and it was packed.
00:00:36.980 You showed up, and there was a line way down the block, and then the next block, and the
00:00:40.660 next block after that.
00:00:42.080 And the people in the line, if you looked, weren't just from other places.
00:00:45.600 They were just bridge and tunnel people coming in from Long Island to support Trump.
00:00:48.500 Some of them looked like they were from Manhattan.
00:00:50.800 And people were excited, really excited.
00:00:54.360 And you go inside, and the place is just absolutely packed.
00:00:56.360 I spoke at the request of the campaign and was happy to do it.
00:01:00.660 And what we were laughing about a minute ago, and something I remember very well, was a
00:01:05.520 sea of placards of campaign signs in the crowd, all provided by the campaign, that said, quote,
00:01:12.200 mass deportations now.
00:01:14.840 Mass deportations now.
00:01:16.520 I remember thinking, well, that's kind of heavy.
00:01:18.440 I don't think I've ever heard any candidate say mass deportations.
00:01:22.000 That's kind of forbidden to talk like that.
00:01:25.380 mass deportations? But the Trump campaign was saying it without apology. And there was something
00:01:30.580 thrilling about that because on the other hand, why not? When you live in a country with more
00:01:36.140 laws than anyone can keep track of, when you live in a constant state of mild anxiety that you
00:01:41.980 might transgress, break one of these laws and be held to account for it, when you live in a country
00:01:48.240 that put Martha Stewart in jail for six months for insider trading and a lot of other people
00:01:53.060 away for a lot longer than that 1.00
00:01:54.420 for crimes that no one
00:01:55.220 could even really understand
00:01:56.180 or explain.
00:01:58.040 In some cases,
00:01:58.540 the people committing them
00:01:59.180 didn't know they were committing them.
00:02:00.700 That's real.
00:02:02.580 If you live in a country like that, 1.00
00:02:04.380 why shouldn't foreigners 1.00
00:02:05.880 who break your law 1.00
00:02:07.340 at very least be asked to leave?
00:02:09.620 Is that crazy?
00:02:11.400 And if they're not asked to leave,
00:02:12.980 then why are you obeying the law?
00:02:16.000 Why are you living in fear
00:02:17.460 of violating the tax code
00:02:19.440 or some SEC reg
00:02:21.340 or some wetlands regulation that's never been voted on,
00:02:25.340 but that you can be severely punished for breaking,
00:02:28.760 filling in a vernal pool in your backyard
00:02:30.860 without knowing it, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 1.00
00:02:34.360 If foreigners don't have to follow our laws, 1.00
00:02:36.920 why are we paying our taxes? 1.00
00:02:39.520 That's real. 0.95
00:02:41.080 And by the way, shouldn't the people who live in a country, 0.96
00:02:43.940 who were born in that country,
00:02:45.040 get to decide who else lives in the country? 0.97
00:02:46.860 Isn't it up to the population who comes?
00:02:50.340 and whether or not
00:02:51.400 they want to be replaced
00:02:52.140 by new people.
00:02:52.840 Maybe they do.
00:02:54.020 Okay.
00:02:55.740 In a Democratic Republic,
00:02:57.120 it's their right.
00:02:58.700 But if they don't want to be,
00:03:00.900 if they want to keep
00:03:01.620 the population
00:03:02.260 pretty much the same,
00:03:03.680 they don't want any radical change.
00:03:05.020 And that is the view
00:03:05.580 of most people.
00:03:07.120 Why can't they have that?
00:03:09.720 And if they're not getting it,
00:03:11.120 if you have a rogue
00:03:12.180 presidential administration
00:03:13.280 that spends four years
00:03:14.960 just inviting the rest
00:03:16.020 of the world 0.98
00:03:16.480 to come to the United States 0.95
00:03:17.620 and live off
00:03:20.340 public funds, use public schools and drive on public roads and use the emergency rooms for
00:03:25.340 healthcare, thereby destroying hospitals across the country, making it impossible for poor
00:03:30.500 Americans wanting to get their healthcare in emergency rooms to do so. Why is it crazy to
00:03:37.320 make them leave and come and apply legally if they want to move here and then turn them down
00:03:45.240 if you want to? Because again, it's your country. It's up to you who lives here. 0.55
00:03:48.060 none of that is crazy and so as you looked out or as i looked out from the stage
00:03:54.320 at madison square garden on this sea of placards saying mass deportations now
00:03:58.560 it was kind of titillating but it was also kind of thrilling because it wasn't just about
00:04:04.720 deporting people some of whom are probably very nice people doubtless very nice people
00:04:09.500 don't want to be deported of course understand that but their desire not to be deported has to
00:04:16.280 in a republic be balanced against and given less weight than the population's right to decide
00:04:22.820 who else gets to live here. That's very basic. In fact, it's the most basic thing. If you don't
00:04:28.520 have that, you don't have representative government. And so to see those signs was
00:04:35.160 a reminder that actually maybe there is a political solution to this problem.
00:04:40.160 Maybe we can vote our way, if not out of this, at least to a slightly better place that we can
00:04:45.960 exert some authority as voters. The people in charge can allow us to influence the course of
00:04:53.180 events in our country. Isn't that the way the system is supposed to work? It was pretty exciting
00:04:59.340 the possibility that could be real. But immigration was not the only topic that day. I remember very
00:05:05.540 vividly standing backstage with a bunch of the other speakers and listening to people as they
00:05:09.460 stood up, and a lot of them talked about Israel and America's steadfast, bedrock commitment to
00:05:16.420 the security of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, our ally in the region,
00:05:22.120 historic ties, defending Israel is defending the West, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:05:28.480 And personally, I didn't think that much about it. For maybe the past 10 years, maybe even longer,
00:05:33.600 maybe since the Bush administration, public declarations of love for Israel are kind of a
00:05:38.380 stock feature at Republican political events because Republican Party is for Israel. And
00:05:42.340 that's OK. It's OK to be for Israel. I never really thought too much about it. Israel not 0.81
00:05:46.960 being really at the center of my thinking about anything most of the time. So it didn't occur to
00:05:52.960 me that a party publicly committed above all to the defense of Israel would be incapable
00:06:00.920 or unwilling to defend itself. Never occurred to me. Seemed like you could do both. OK,
00:06:07.720 we like Israel. That's great. Doesn't mean we can't make life better here for Americans, does 0.61
00:06:14.280 it? Doesn't mean we can't act in our own interest too, even as we're acting in the interest of this
00:06:18.640 other country, because there are some highly enthusiastic proponents of that other country
00:06:24.360 and positions of authority in the Republican Party. That's okay. We can all coexist. We'll
00:06:28.240 support Israel, whatever that means, as long as it doesn't mean like going to war with Iran
00:06:32.060 in regime change effort
00:06:33.760 that's going to cause global famine, 0.83
00:06:36.000 destroy global energy markets,
00:06:38.400 make America poorer,
00:06:39.800 wreck the U.S. dollar,
00:06:40.860 cause hyperinflation.
00:06:41.600 As long as we don't do that,
00:06:43.420 totally fine. 0.99
00:06:44.280 I want to support Israel.
00:06:45.860 Great.
00:06:47.120 You're into that.
00:06:48.060 I'm into model trains.
00:06:50.340 Next guy's into golf.
00:06:51.360 We all have our obsessions. 1.00
00:06:52.780 Yours is Israel. 1.00
00:06:53.440 It's okay.
00:06:54.660 But they're not mutually exclusive.
00:06:58.360 But it turns out they may be
00:07:00.060 mutually exclusive. 0.99
00:07:02.060 It turns out that maybe Jesus was right.
00:07:04.140 You can't serve two masters.
00:07:06.240 You can only have one
00:07:07.500 because you will always wind up loving one
00:07:10.680 and hating the other.
00:07:12.480 Maybe that's not just a theological concept.
00:07:14.320 It's a hard and true fact of human nature.
00:07:16.640 You can only have one core loyalty.
00:07:20.880 And to all others,
00:07:22.000 you will have not just indifference,
00:07:23.240 but maybe contempt.
00:07:25.120 And that's becoming very, very obvious
00:07:27.040 a year and a half after that
00:07:28.200 Madison Square Garden rally.
00:07:29.460 where not only have we not witnessed
00:07:33.480 Matt's deportations
00:07:34.720 or the completion of the wall
00:07:36.040 or even the substantial construction
00:07:37.260 of the wall,
00:07:38.340 we've witnessed a continuation
00:07:40.360 of hundreds of thousands
00:07:41.940 of H-1B visa workers coming here,
00:07:45.100 mostly from India,
00:07:45.820 70% from India,
00:07:46.960 mostly into tech jobs.
00:07:49.480 At exactly the moment
00:07:51.820 when the same people advocating
00:07:54.580 for those H-1B visas
00:07:56.360 are warning us, 1.00
00:07:57.660 warning us,
00:07:58.040 straight up warning us,
00:07:59.460 that entire sectors of our economy
00:08:01.940 are about to go away thanks to AI.
00:08:05.420 That this is really the last moment
00:08:07.420 that your kid with a degree in computer science
00:08:10.580 or programming is to be able to find a job.
00:08:13.080 Because they are now telling us as of today
00:08:14.940 that 50%, at least, maybe more,
00:08:17.960 of all American jobs
00:08:19.700 will be affected,
00:08:23.280 maybe eliminated,
00:08:24.440 by AI in the next two or three years.
00:08:26.920 So this is now. 0.72
00:08:29.460 So why would you advocate for foreigners to come in and take jobs in a sector that's about 0.79
00:08:38.300 to be radically reduced in size?
00:08:41.720 In other words, there are fewer jobs, but you're giving hundreds of thousands of them 0.98
00:08:45.540 to foreign nationals? 0.92
00:08:47.580 Why would you do that?
00:08:50.360 Why would you have any immigration at all into a country that's about to lose 50% of
00:08:57.940 its high-paying jobs?
00:08:59.460 why would you do that? You certainly wouldn't do that if you love that country. In fact, 0.79
00:09:04.820 that's the last thing you would do. If you were in charge of a country and you sincerely believe
00:09:09.660 that 50% of white-collar jobs were going to disappear or change in some unspecified way,
00:09:17.820 meaning begin to disappear, how many people would you import into your labor market?
00:09:23.340 well zero not one not a single one you would want a much tighter labor market because the value of
00:09:31.940 labor is about to plummet and that means that millions of americans will be left with not
00:09:39.700 enough or nothing at all to do and that will be terrible for them because people without work are
00:09:46.180 volatile unhappy people they're people without a purpose and that will mean disaster potentially 1.00
00:09:51.220 for your country
00:09:51.880 because unemployed people
00:09:53.220 in large numbers
00:09:53.900 are dangerous.
00:09:55.240 And that's why
00:09:55.580 the last time this happened,
00:09:56.780 the President of the United States
00:09:57.560 at the time,
00:09:58.360 Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
00:09:59.360 whatever his faults,
00:10:00.560 many,
00:10:01.320 manifold,
00:10:02.320 decided to mobilize
00:10:04.680 unemployed men
00:10:05.980 in the Civilian Conservation Corps
00:10:07.460 in the largest
00:10:08.860 peacetime mobilization
00:10:09.980 in world history.
00:10:11.540 And you know who led
00:10:12.120 that mobilization?
00:10:13.180 General Douglas MacArthur,
00:10:14.740 later famous
00:10:15.240 for many other reasons
00:10:16.100 in the Philippines
00:10:16.680 and in Japan.
00:10:17.280 He put a general
00:10:18.700 in charge
00:10:20.260 of putting America's unemployed men to work.
00:10:25.620 Then in the course of that work,
00:10:27.080 they basically rebuilt the national parks
00:10:28.800 and built the GW Parkway through downtown DC
00:10:31.400 and actually did a lot of pretty amazing work
00:10:35.180 to the country's infrastructure,
00:10:36.420 much of which still stands.
00:10:38.220 So he both avoided domestic unrest,
00:10:40.940 maybe even a revolution,
00:10:41.800 and he improved the country in the process.
00:10:44.620 It's not an endorsement of all of his policies.
00:10:46.920 In some ways, a truly horrible president
00:10:49.200 got us into World War II
00:10:51.040 for no obvious reason,
00:10:53.200 et cetera, et cetera.
00:10:55.000 But in this one way,
00:10:57.080 the Roosevelt administration
00:10:58.000 took very seriously the problem
00:11:00.120 of having lots of unemployed people.
00:11:02.680 What are our leaders doing
00:11:04.200 about AI right now?
00:11:05.340 Well, they're trying to profit from it.
00:11:08.320 Of course, they're trying to make
00:11:09.360 a lot of money from it,
00:11:10.580 their friends and family
00:11:11.540 and themselves.
00:11:13.180 It was the last big boom time
00:11:15.400 before the casino shuts down.
00:11:17.820 That's the first thing they're doing.
00:11:19.200 The second thing they're doing
00:11:19.940 is scaring the crap out of the rest of us
00:11:21.620 about the effects of it.
00:11:22.880 Not even making any effort at all
00:11:25.160 to sell it as a positive good
00:11:26.840 for the average person.
00:11:28.120 AI is coming.
00:11:28.740 It's going to be difficult,
00:11:29.620 but trust me, it's going to be awesome
00:11:31.360 because here's why.
00:11:32.460 There's almost none of that.
00:11:34.000 There's almost no effort to reassure you
00:11:36.220 that the largest technological change
00:11:37.860 in our lifetimes will be in any way
00:11:39.600 a win for you.
00:11:40.400 In fact, they're telling you
00:11:41.200 right to your face,
00:11:42.440 it's going to be a disaster.
00:11:45.900 What is that?
00:11:47.460 Why are they telling you that?
00:11:49.120 to prepare you? How do you prepare for that? Your job goes away? What happens next? There's
00:11:54.300 no hint. It's going to be tough. Yeah, you think? If this all comes true, it's going to be very,
00:11:59.800 very tough. So why are they telling you? And in addition to telling you, they're also continuing
00:12:06.140 to import people to compete for a rapidly shrinking number of jobs. Well, that's just
00:12:15.640 a middle finger in your face. 1.00
00:12:17.320 That's a humiliation exercise. 0.99
00:12:20.660 That's the opposite
00:12:21.800 of trying to comfort you.
00:12:23.280 That's trying to stoke your anxiety. 0.74
00:12:26.340 That's trying to make you feel worthless.
00:12:28.020 That's revealing how they really feel about you.
00:12:30.080 That's answering the central question
00:12:31.960 of our moment, which is,
00:12:33.480 are we A, ruled by people who are selfish
00:12:36.020 and short-sighted and capable
00:12:37.420 of longitudinal thought,
00:12:38.960 totally unwise, greedy?
00:12:41.540 Is that the leadership class we have?
00:12:43.340 Or is it even worse than that?
00:12:45.640 Are we ruled by an elite that actually hates us and hates the West
00:12:50.720 and is doing whatever it can to harm the population of the United States
00:12:55.860 and the West and of Europe and of Canada and Australia, New Zealand, the West?
00:13:02.540 Are the people in charge actively angry at us?
00:13:07.540 Do they not like us at all?
00:13:09.620 Do they mean us harm?
00:13:11.540 You don't want to think that.
00:13:12.960 That's so dark.
00:13:13.940 Could that really be true?
00:13:15.640 Hard to imagine it.
00:13:16.820 Your average American used to living in a very nice country, very nice people.
00:13:22.760 A country where people are so nice, the people who aren't nice, people with dark motives,
00:13:27.660 really go out of their way to hide those motives, to dress them up as, I don't know what, charity.
00:13:34.200 To build an NGO around whatever plans they have.
00:13:40.360 No, really, we're helping you here.
00:13:41.600 Americans are not used to imagining that the people in charge have not simply no interest
00:13:52.040 in them, but actively desire to harm them. And the first time most people in this country even
00:13:58.800 entertained the possibility of something so grotesque was during COVID, when it became
00:14:03.640 really clear that the COVID shots not only weren't safe, they weren't effective. There was no
00:14:08.600 possible upside to this whatsoever. And then the downsides became, well, too obvious to ignore.
00:14:14.560 People started dying. Kids started having heart attacks. Women stopped having babies in the
00:14:21.380 numbers they were having before. It was causing infertility, obviously. People you know started 1.00
00:14:25.900 getting pancreatic cancer, something that was so rare 30 years ago. It was the kind of thing you'd
00:14:32.760 heard about once in a while, pancreatic cancer. Yeah, there's no fixing that one. That's the
00:14:35.920 worst cancer you have. It's incredibly painful and it's not curable. All of a sudden, you know
00:14:40.880 10 people with pancreatic cancer. What's that? Maybe it's not connected to the COVID shots.
00:14:46.720 We wouldn't know because no one's tried to figure it out. So vanishingly small is the interest from
00:14:54.540 our ruling class in finding out the effects of the COVID facts given to tens of millions of people
00:15:00.560 that we still don't know our vast public health infrastructure has not been mobilized to find out
00:15:09.900 what the effects of the biggest inoculation campaign in global history were we still can't
00:15:17.640 say but it's obvious they weren't positive so if you wind up killing a lot of people which the 0.79
00:15:24.120 Codevax did, and then you refuse to find out where the virus came from in the first place, 0.77
00:15:31.560 and then you pretend that nothing bad happened, it's kind of hard not to suspect that maybe
00:15:36.920 you want to hurt me. You don't want to think that, but what's the other answer?
00:15:42.480 But it's on the question of immigration, and not just immigration,
00:15:46.920 on this eve of technological revolution, on the eve of AI, that it becomes very, very clear.
00:15:54.120 That the same people who pushed us into a regime change war with Iran, a war that will
00:16:02.360 by definition cause famine, even now, if it stopped today, people would starve around 0.70
00:16:08.540 the world.
00:16:11.120 It's a math question as to do with energy and fertilizer, and this will cause hunger
00:16:19.120 and starvation, mostly in Africa, but not just. 0.96
00:16:23.120 Those same people are also the ones, literally the same people, who are pushing the United 0.97
00:16:31.000 States to continue to allow the rest of the world to move here.
00:16:36.440 And once again, there is no justification for this on practical grounds.
00:16:41.940 Zero.
00:16:42.640 And you know that because no one's even trying to make the case. 0.94
00:16:45.460 It used to be when people stood up and said, we need more immigration, they at least paid
00:16:49.560 you the compliment of explaining that our industries, our factories need this. Who's
00:16:54.000 going to pick the grapes? Our farms need this. Low-wage immigrant labor makes the bounty possible. 0.99
00:17:01.740 That's the case they made for generations, more than a hundred years. And in some cases, 1.00
00:17:06.240 they were right. It's true. The United States did get a lot out of, the consumer in the United 0.75
00:17:12.460 States did get a lot out of low-wage immigrant labor. Fact. There were also downsides. But the 1.00
00:17:19.420 economic case at least was coherent. Short-term, it was coherent. You never hear that anymore
00:17:24.800 because it's not true. Most agriculture is automated. Tech jobs are going away.
00:17:30.320 Law firms are going to start laying off people. Meta, which you'd think would be immune from all
00:17:34.880 of this because it's got a pretty great business model based on spying on you and selling your
00:17:40.220 preferences to advertisers. Meta laid off 8,000 people the other day, thanks to AI.
00:17:44.640 so this is coming for everyone so at that moment to advocate for more low-wage low-skill
00:17:53.140 immigration into the united states which we i think we can say conclusively
00:17:56.700 despite the virtue or lack of thereof among the specific immigrants i think we can say is a net
00:18:02.840 cost to the united states there's really no debate about that at this point anyone advocating for
00:18:08.320 that is aggressively opposed to the interests of the population. That's shocking, but it's
00:18:15.960 happening. And it's the same people who pushed for the war with Iran, specifically. So two weeks ago,
00:18:23.200 there was a vote in the House of Representatives about whether to extend temporary protective
00:18:28.100 status, TPS, to hundreds of thousands of Haitians who have been living here for quite some time.
00:18:33.300 They came here illegally. They were granted protection for reasons that aren't exactly clear.
00:18:37.640 It's not obvious why the United States owes the people of Haiti a debt.
00:18:41.420 The United States has not made Haiti better, but not for lack of spending money on Haiti.
00:18:46.280 Haiti's problems are resistant to our interventions.
00:18:48.700 I think we can say that.
00:18:51.060 For whatever reason, the United States has been intervening in Haiti for over 100 years.
00:18:55.200 It hasn't gotten better. 0.97
00:18:57.780 So hundreds of thousands of Haitians came here illegally.
00:19:00.200 They were granted this temporary legal status.
00:19:03.060 And the House of Representatives had to vote on whether to re-up it or not.
00:19:06.600 And they just did.
00:19:08.180 And 10 Republicans voted with all Democrats
00:19:10.720 to extend the protection, which is now extended.
00:19:14.420 And they'll tell you they're not taking
00:19:15.820 any welfare benefits, but of course, 1.00
00:19:17.760 like all poor people who move here, 0.97
00:19:19.480 they are fundamentally dependent on public services. 1.00
00:19:25.940 Of course, particularly healthcare.
00:19:28.080 At a moment when the average birthright American
00:19:31.240 is wondering how do I pay my health insurance premiums
00:19:34.500 or just has forgone them completely, doesn't have health insurance.
00:19:37.540 Many people in this country, millions of people have decided,
00:19:40.880 I can't afford health insurance.
00:19:42.520 Is that the moment that you want to turn our public health resources, 1.00
00:19:47.380 our emergency rooms over to foreigners? 1.00
00:19:50.800 It's just the opposite. 1.00
00:19:53.260 That is an act of aggression against Americans.
00:19:55.660 Well, who voted for it?
00:19:56.920 Of the 10 Republicans who voted to extend temporary protection
00:20:01.480 in another 18 months, all neocons.
00:20:05.160 In fact, the most fervent supporters
00:20:08.060 of the state of Israel
00:20:09.380 in the House of Representatives,
00:20:11.480 almost to a person,
00:20:12.320 are the same people who voted for this.
00:20:14.580 And they would include Mike Lawler of New York,
00:20:19.200 the sponsor of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act
00:20:22.200 or something to that effect,
00:20:23.740 a censorship bill.
00:20:25.700 Criticism of Israel should be illegal.
00:20:27.620 That's the thrust, always. 0.99
00:20:30.120 He's one of the people who voted for this.
00:20:31.480 Congressman Don Bacon, Congressman Don Bacon of Omaha, Nebraska.
00:20:38.020 Second District, in fact, it's Warren Buffett's dad's seat.
00:20:42.020 Don Bacon, Air Force General, one of the most florid, red-in-the-face neocons in the Congress.
00:20:47.900 Nicole Meliotakis, also of New York.
00:20:51.460 Congressman Salazar from Florida.
00:20:53.120 These are Israel's most loyal soldiers in the United States Congress, and they are voting to open our borders once again.
00:21:04.220 So it's yet more evidence, and that evidence has been mounting for many years, as we're going to show you in a minute, 0.79
00:21:09.580 there is a direct connection between loyalty to a foreign power and a desire to hurt this country.
00:21:15.480 You cannot be loyal to two masters at once.
00:21:18.240 You will love one and hate the other to restate.
00:21:20.560 and again that's not just a bible verse it's the daily lived reality of every human being you can
00:21:27.360 have but one true loyalty and you will hate the rest and they clearly do and we've known this for
00:21:32.940 a while so here's now semi-famous not famous enough videotape of a man called bill crystal
00:21:38.860 speaking at a aei event aei is a neoconservative think tank in washington the american enterprise
00:21:43.880 institute and bill clinton crystal was for many many years the most famous and most influential
00:21:50.060 neoconservative voice in Washington, D.C., and hence the country. He's one of the founders of
00:21:55.060 the Project for the New American Century, which laid out why, in about 1997, 98, why we needed to 0.81
00:22:00.720 go to war with Iraq. This was before the pretext of 9-11 was introduced, before they told us that
00:22:07.640 actually Saddam was behind 9-11. This was just a blueprint for how the United States military 0.61
00:22:13.480 needs to knock off, 0.65
00:22:15.660 needs to regime change 0.69
00:22:16.860 Israel's opponents in the region
00:22:19.240 to give Israel regional hegemony.
00:22:22.220 And now a lot of us
00:22:23.140 who watched this happen,
00:22:24.460 in fact,
00:22:25.200 I worked about 10 feet away
00:22:26.640 from where that document
00:22:28.060 was formulated,
00:22:29.780 didn't pay a lot of attention.
00:22:31.320 It didn't seem,
00:22:32.640 first of all, likely to happen.
00:22:33.620 Are we really going to invade Iraq? 0.65
00:22:36.920 Kill Gaddafi? 0.63
00:22:39.240 Overturn the Assad regime in Syria?
00:22:41.100 I mean, it's so far away.
00:22:42.020 Are we really going to do that?
00:22:42.860 we've got problems here. I don't think it's actually going to happen, number one. And number
00:22:46.880 two, that's just a different realm. That's foreign policy. That's like an academic exercise. It
00:22:51.000 doesn't really have much to do with life here in the United States. And in any case, the people
00:22:56.340 advocating for it are doing so. And they tell us this all the time because they think it's good
00:23:00.980 for the United States. This is in our interest. This is for our safety. We need to spend a
00:23:06.140 trillion dollars or now a trillion and a half dollars a year on the Pentagon so we will thrive
00:23:10.400 at home. So the homeland will be safe and prosperous. That's what we call the Department
00:23:15.020 of Homeland Security, because the first concern is the homeland, the country where we live,
00:23:19.080 the country our ancestors built, the United States. That's the goal, is to protect the
00:23:23.820 United States and its people, because what is the United States but its people? That's all it is.
00:23:29.200 It's American citizens, and we need to help them. And admittedly, it's kind of complicated our plan.
00:23:35.940 we're going to bring democracy to flower in the Middle East,
00:23:39.640 but that will make it a lot better here.
00:23:41.380 That's what they were telling us.
00:23:43.340 And some of us who weren't paying enough attention
00:23:45.440 or weren't wise enough to understand the difference
00:23:47.500 between a truth and a lie kind of ignored it. 0.96
00:23:51.600 Okay, now, Syria, Iraq, go crazy.
00:23:58.140 But with the rise of Donald Trump in 2015,
00:24:01.400 it became a lot clearer what was actually going on.
00:24:05.020 Donald Trump, whatever his demonstrated faults, is brilliant at one thing.
00:24:11.280 He is a genius, and this may be unintentional, at bringing into stark relief the differences
00:24:16.000 in worldviews between people and groups.
00:24:19.400 Donald Trump is a living Rorschach blot.
00:24:21.660 You look at Donald Trump, what do you see?
00:24:24.500 And so his purpose really for the last 10 years, maybe his most important purpose, has
00:24:29.300 been to show the rest of us what the debate is really about and what the stakes really
00:24:32.900 are and what the people involved in those debates actually think, because something
00:24:37.460 about Donald Trump evokes a kind of involuntary honesty in people and just blurt out what
00:24:41.940 they think.
00:24:43.820 And that happened to Bill Kristol in 2017.
00:24:47.040 Now, Kristol was a kind of half-hearted Trump supporter up until the moment in early 2016
00:24:54.540 when Trump traveled to Greenville, South Carolina and engaged in a Republican candidates debate,
00:24:59.140 a primary debate with Jeb Bush and the other 27 people running that year or whatever the number
00:25:03.020 was. And during that debate, he famously said to Jeb Bush, your brother got us into the dumbest 0.98
00:25:08.860 war in history. The Iraq war was a huge mistake. Only the weapons manufacturers got anything out 0.90
00:25:15.440 of that. It hurt this country, killed a lot of people, and it drained our treasury. That was a
00:25:19.340 mistake. It was at that specific moment that Trump lost the support of Bill Kristol and everyone
00:25:27.980 like Bill Kristol in Washington,
00:25:29.280 the neoconservative foreign policy establishment,
00:25:32.220 the people who really sincerely believed,
00:25:34.880 the signers of the Project for the New American Century
00:25:37.860 mission statement, which would include Dick Cheney
00:25:39.920 and Bob Kagan, John Bolton, all of them,
00:25:43.820 all of those people decided that Trump
00:25:46.560 was not simply a candidate they couldn't support,
00:25:48.400 he was their enemy.
00:25:49.560 And they became famously never Trump.
00:25:52.640 And that's why.
00:25:54.240 That was the issue.
00:25:55.520 His criticism of the Iraq war was the issue that drove them not simply away from Trump,
00:26:01.720 but to the polar opposite position.
00:26:03.500 Many became Democrats, including Bill Kristol.
00:26:06.400 And that really should have told us something right there.
00:26:08.500 Really?
00:26:08.840 That's your red line?
00:26:09.740 The Iraq war?
00:26:11.760 Why is that so important to you?
00:26:13.800 What about the opioid crisis raging here?
00:26:16.700 What about the fact that our industrial base is gone?
00:26:18.960 Have you driven across America recently?
00:26:20.380 How's it look?
00:26:21.460 Midtown Manhattan, is it pretty clean? 0.64
00:26:23.160 and this immigration question, why shouldn't we build a wall? We paid for Israel's wall. 0.95
00:26:30.080 Why can't we have one? What's the answer? There was very little conversation about that. Why is 0.98
00:26:36.100 this one issue, support for Israel, the only thing that matters to you? It's hard to know,
00:26:43.760 but it clearly was. And in the case of Bill Kristol, we're grateful that it was
00:26:48.300 because he was so enraged by Trump
00:26:51.540 that he began to tell the truth.
00:26:53.360 And he began to see what he really thinks,
00:26:55.160 not simply about Trump, not that interesting,
00:26:57.460 but about the United States and its population,
00:27:01.080 the people who live here, Americans, American citizens.
00:27:04.520 What do you think of them, Bill Kristol?
00:27:06.400 Well, here in 2017,
00:27:08.920 Bill Kristol explains what he thinks of the rest of us.
00:27:11.700 Watch.
00:27:12.600 Look, to be totally honest,
00:27:13.680 if things are so bad, as you say,
00:27:15.060 with the white working class,
00:27:15.980 don't you want to get new Americans in? 0.91
00:27:18.300 who aren't going to be, I'm serious. 0.96
00:27:21.420 You can make a case that this is going on too long
00:27:23.520 and this is too crazy probably.
00:27:24.960 And I hope this thing isn't being like, you know,
00:27:27.080 videotaped or ever shown anywhere. 0.97
00:27:29.640 Whatever tiny pathetic future I have 0.97
00:27:31.620 is going to be totally collapsed. 0.97
00:27:33.700 You can make a case that America has been great
00:27:35.920 because every, I think John Adams said this
00:27:38.760 at the beginning, right?
00:27:39.600 Basically, if you're in a free society,
00:27:41.280 a capitalist society, after two, three,
00:27:43.440 four generations of hard work,
00:27:44.800 everyone becomes kind of decadent, lazy, spoiled, whatever.
00:27:48.300 And then you luckily you have these waves of people coming in from Italy and Ireland and Russia and now Mexico who really want to work hard and really want to succeed and really want their kids to live better lives than them and aren't sort of clipping coupons or hoping that they can hang on.
00:28:03.360 And meanwhile, you know, grew up with spoiled kids and so forth.
00:28:08.020 It's hard to even comprehend the contempt in that statement for clipping coupons and kind of hanging on lazy, decadent, spoiled.
00:28:17.460 he's describing Americans. He's describing you and the people who live next to you and down the
00:28:22.360 street and across the country. He's describing people whose ancestors built this nation.
00:28:27.500 And he's given up on them. And he hates them. And he doesn't have the self-control
00:28:33.100 to prevent himself from saying so out loud, which he just did, clipping coupons. Now,
00:28:39.540 think of it this way. If you're a leader of this or any other country or any organization
00:28:45.020 or any family, your duty is to the people you lead. And that duty has to be informed by love
00:28:52.840 for those people. And so imagine the father of unruly kids taking the same position.
00:28:59.960 My kids are hard to deal with. They're lazy. They're spoiled. They don't have any money. 0.90
00:29:04.220 They're clipping coupons or whatever, just hanging on. So to a father who loves his kids,
00:29:09.740 of course, the answer would be, what can I do to help? How can I make them less lazy,
00:29:13.060 less entitled? How can I give them spark, drive? How can I get them on the right path?
00:29:20.220 No decent father would say, these kids are way below my expectation. It's inevitable,
00:29:26.120 by the way. When they get to their teen years, they're just useless. I'm getting new kids. I'm 1.00
00:29:30.600 just going to adopt some new kids. Maybe they don't even speak English. I don't have to even
00:29:33.300 listen to their concerns, really. Maybe they'll just be so grateful for three square meals,
00:29:37.820 they'll do whatever I say. And my own kids, they can go die. A father with that attitude would be 1.00
00:29:44.980 a monster. A leader of a country with that attitude is a monster. And that is exactly 1.00
00:29:49.760 the attitude Bill Kristol revealed, maybe for the first time, in public. And it's an attitude with
00:29:58.500 profound consequences. And maybe it shouldn't surprise us. Anyone who can advocate for the
00:30:05.820 murder of children in Gaza, actual kids, Palestinian kids, but still kids, not political,
00:30:14.840 not responsible for any crime at all because they're children.
00:30:19.580 Anyone who could look at their deaths and say, no big deal, is probably not the kind
00:30:26.140 of person you want in charge of anything in your country.
00:30:28.320 because that reveals hatred for other human beings.
00:30:37.160 And no one who hates other human beings like that
00:30:40.020 can ever have authority over you 1.00
00:30:41.940 because they'll treat you like the Palestinians 1.00
00:30:44.060 at a certain point, and they are. 0.96
00:30:46.720 So it shouldn't shock us,
00:30:48.360 but when that video came out,
00:30:49.300 it did shock the few who were paying attention.
00:30:51.920 Really, I thought the Neocon program 0.92
00:30:53.800 was designed to help us,
00:30:55.900 at least that's what you claimed.
00:30:56.920 but you have hatred for us and in the subsequent years the nine years since he said that it's
00:31:03.860 become incredibly obvious virtually every bad policy emanating from our government comes from
00:31:12.600 exactly to a person the same members of congress and the same members of the administration
00:31:19.140 who are advocating for wars like the one we're in now
00:31:22.200 all of them are bad for the country and they would include and the list is very long
00:31:29.580 ai again hard to see how that's good for us hard to see how it's a good idea to put a data center
00:31:37.720 in your town your utilities go up your water gets poisoned almost nobody gets employed how 0.64
00:31:44.980 is this a win for you shut up we're getting a data center that would include our drug policy
00:31:49.320 where over 100,000 Americans still die every year of overdose.
00:31:53.920 What are we doing about that?
00:31:54.880 Is it even a conversation?
00:31:55.960 No.
00:31:57.380 That would include the more grotesque and flamboyant
00:32:01.300 and cartoonish expressions of hatred toward Americans 0.96
00:32:03.800 like transgender surgeries for children.
00:32:06.580 Yes, those are still going on
00:32:07.640 because neocons in the Congress
00:32:11.080 have blocked any attempt to stop them.
00:32:13.140 That's a fact.
00:32:13.740 You can look it up.
00:32:14.500 and above all it informs their views of immigration which are motivated as bill crystal just showed
00:32:23.760 not by what we thought they're motivated by trying to hike gdp they think it's good for
00:32:30.080 the aggregate economy no they don't like the people who live here and they would like to
00:32:35.240 see them replaced crystal just said that and the behavior of the rest show that that is true
00:32:39.660 And these are exactly the same people
00:32:41.180 who've inspired these policies in Europe.
00:32:43.720 And let's stop lying.
00:32:45.580 Europe does not have autonomy.
00:32:47.800 Europe is a confederation called the EU
00:32:51.060 that is a vassal of the United States.
00:32:52.580 We know that because there are American troops
00:32:53.820 throughout Europe.
00:32:55.680 Europe is under the thumb of the control of NATO,
00:32:58.580 which is controlled by the United States.
00:32:59.840 So what happens in Europe,
00:33:01.840 whether it's energy policy or immigration policy,
00:33:04.380 happens because our leaders sign off on it.
00:33:06.940 So let's stop the pretense.
00:33:09.140 Germany is not making its own decisions at all.
00:33:12.100 The United States is making those decisions.
00:33:13.980 And those decisions over the past 30 years
00:33:16.280 have destroyed the population of Europe.
00:33:19.860 And that's probably not an accident,
00:33:21.880 nor are the coming food shortages,
00:33:24.040 nor is the coming migration crisis,
00:33:26.960 which is coming.
00:33:27.680 When there are food shortages in sub-Saharan Africa
00:33:29.600 where more than a billion people live,
00:33:31.080 where are they going?
00:33:31.800 Europe and the United States to the West.
00:33:33.920 That's all obvious.
00:33:35.760 That's not a conspiracy theory.
00:33:37.400 Watch it happen.
00:33:38.160 and the people who inspired it
00:33:40.500 knew it was going to happen
00:33:41.560 and it happening was part of the reason
00:33:43.180 they did it in the first place.
00:33:45.160 So this is just another way
00:33:46.500 of letting you know
00:33:47.540 that the motives here
00:33:48.720 are not only impure,
00:33:50.460 they're not simply disloyal, 0.99
00:33:51.820 they are malicious.
00:33:54.320 But watch it now
00:33:55.900 from a couple of members of Congress
00:33:57.720 explaining or really failing to explain
00:34:00.920 why these are Republicans,
00:34:02.460 these are MAGA members,
00:34:04.600 these are very loyal soldiers
00:34:06.680 in the MAGA army
00:34:07.600 watch them explain or again not explain watch them deflect questions about why they voted
00:34:14.580 to extend temporary protection to haitian illegal aliens here's the first up and this is maria
00:34:22.400 salazar of south florida we have uh almost a hundred democrats that are willing to vote for
00:34:30.740 this because look it's impossible if we the republicans put together a bill like this one
00:34:36.620 on the floor for any Democrats with Hispanics. Supposedly, you know, Hispanics belong to the 0.99
00:34:43.060 Democrats. Not anymore, because right now we're going to be demonstrating to the Dems that we
00:34:49.020 are not such a bunch of racists, that we're giving them dignity, not citizenship.
00:34:56.780 So we're not racist. Well, who said you were racist? We're not racist. So we need to do this
00:35:03.480 or else we will be perceived as racist.
00:35:06.080 In fact, we will be racist.
00:35:07.940 Now, that is precisely the style of argument with air quotes
00:35:11.260 that Republicans, including Donald Trump,
00:35:13.900 very famously objected to when the left employed it. 1.00
00:35:18.320 Shut up, racist. 0.99
00:35:19.620 It became a meme, and for good reason. 1.00
00:35:21.680 Rather than respond to the argument,
00:35:23.360 rather than make the affirmative case, 0.67
00:35:24.540 it's a good idea for the United States to do this
00:35:26.440 because that sentence never got completed.
00:35:28.700 It was outrageous for you to ask questions about it and the massive unprecedented demographic change in this country, not just in Europe here, especially here, because if you asked about it or demanded an answer to understand why it was happening, you were, quote, racist, racist. 0.97
00:35:47.760 racist. Okay now. And that is a MAGA Republican, that is a confirmed neocon, a loyal soldier for 0.93
00:35:58.000 AIPAC, telling you that if you ask questions about it, you're racist. Maria Salazar, ladies and
00:36:05.340 gentlemen, of the state of Florida. But here really is someone that all of us should pay a lot
00:36:10.280 closer attention to. This is Congressman Don Bacon of Omaha, again, a former Air Force general. And
00:36:17.220 Why is it, by the way, and you hate to even notice this because it's, there's something
00:36:22.340 really troubling about it, but the more time our representatives seem to have spent as
00:36:30.020 military officers or intelligence officers, the more hostile they seem to be to American
00:36:35.180 citizens.
00:36:35.720 It's just something we've noticed.
00:36:36.700 You don't want to think that, by the way, because all Americans correctly have respect
00:36:40.600 for their armed services.
00:36:42.420 But it is true, and anyone who's served in the Congress can verify this,
00:36:45.460 that members who have been officers in the U.S. military
00:36:49.420 tend to have the most anti-American views.
00:36:53.000 Very, very odd.
00:36:53.980 It'd be interesting to know why that is.
00:36:55.580 Just noticing.
00:36:57.020 In any case, here's Congressman Don Bacon asked by a reporter,
00:37:00.580 hey, why'd you vote to extend this protection?
00:37:05.480 Why are you doing something that's the very opposite of what Donald Trump ran on
00:37:08.840 when you say you're a loyal soldier for Trump?
00:37:11.860 And here's the answer that Don Bacon gave.
00:37:14.560 Hi, Congressman Bacon.
00:37:15.660 You recently voted with all Democrats to extend TPS for Haitians for another three years. 0.97
00:37:22.100 Over 90% of these Haitians entered the country illegally and actually- 0.99
00:37:26.960 They're legal now. 1.00
00:37:27.660 Well, 60% of them are-
00:37:29.380 They're legal now.
00:37:30.420 They work. 0.80
00:37:30.800 They're not allowed on welfare unless there's unique situations like they're married to 0.89
00:37:35.020 American.
00:37:36.040 And so are you part of the Know Nothing Party I was talking about in the 1850s?
00:37:39.140 No.
00:37:39.540 You represent a minority of the country that hates immigrants.
00:37:45.340 That's not true.
00:37:47.460 Millions of people are just concerned about the future of this nation.
00:37:50.480 They say that, you know, aliens.
00:37:52.660 I see you're wearing a cross.
00:37:54.280 You ever read the verses in the New Testament that talk about how you should treat immigrants?
00:37:57.640 Yeah, I don't think that means just opening up the, you know, country for everyone to come here.
00:38:02.740 These people are legal.
00:38:04.800 What do you don't get about that?
00:38:05.740 They're legal.
00:38:06.520 Okay, well, as far as this.
00:38:07.520 They're here legal and they're working.
00:38:08.360 They're paying taxes.
00:38:08.980 they're not even allowed on welfare unless they're unless they're married to an american or
00:38:13.020 there's some out when they get on it so i just think you'll have your facts right and you
00:38:17.300 represent like a 20 core or 20 group that i actually represent the majority of the maga base
00:38:24.040 and i mean i think you're misaligned with the president on this and many others are concerned
00:38:28.020 about that as well well i represent the vast majority i represent my district and i won my
00:38:32.320 district okay so as far as the uh the amnesty bill or the dignity dignity dodd bill because
00:38:37.240 It's actually titled in Spanish.
00:38:38.880 So you are a hardcore anti-immigrant person.
00:38:42.820 Please start reading the New Testament every day. 0.99
00:38:44.860 It may do you well. 1.00
00:38:47.120 You just hate immigrants. 0.98
00:38:48.900 You hate immigrants.
00:38:49.840 Notice the immediate identification of remotive, 0.97
00:38:53.960 which always, it's always hate.
00:38:55.900 Hate.
00:38:56.440 Hate speech.
00:38:57.160 You're motivated by hate.
00:38:58.320 You don't actually have a sincere question.
00:38:59.540 What's the answer? 0.65
00:39:00.320 You hate immigrants. 1.00
00:39:01.580 You're a bad Christian. 1.00
00:39:02.680 Maybe you should read the New Testament. 1.00
00:39:04.400 Jesus calls for open borders.
00:39:05.560 Really?
00:39:05.820 Where is that?
00:39:06.400 Congressman Bacon? That would have been an interesting question to ask. Certainly the
00:39:10.760 answer would be, stop hating. But what's so interesting is that rather than explain to
00:39:17.200 that reporter why this is in the best interest of the United States, he says, we have to do this
00:39:24.420 or else we're not Christian and we're haters. So there is a kind of religious fervor about this,
00:39:32.600 this desire to change the population
00:39:35.120 of the United States
00:39:36.080 and to do it quickly.
00:39:37.080 Now, on the left,
00:39:38.160 this has been the goal
00:39:39.800 for a very long time.
00:39:41.880 A fairly famous picture came to light
00:39:44.060 once again this week
00:39:45.240 from a documentary done
00:39:46.560 in the Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:39:48.340 And it shows taped on the wall
00:39:49.520 at the SPLC headquarters
00:39:50.660 is a chart handwritten
00:39:53.040 on the declining percentage
00:39:55.120 of whites in the United States. 1.00
00:39:56.860 That's the goal, of course. 1.00
00:39:58.840 Why would that be the goal?
00:40:00.520 Because the United States 0.99
00:40:01.720 remaining majority white is for some reason terrifying, so terrifying and so upsetting 0.87
00:40:07.660 that even mentioning the current demographic mix of the United States is considered a hate crime. 0.99
00:40:13.900 Can't say that because the reality itself is considered repugnant. For some people,
00:40:20.760 that is dangerous, immoral, and unacceptable. And it must be changed. And that's, of course,
00:40:25.840 the purpose of this. There's no plausible economic benefit to continuing temporary
00:40:31.120 protective status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians. 1.00
00:40:33.940 Like, tell me how that's a win. 1.00
00:40:35.420 Maybe it is.
00:40:36.080 If it is, tell us how.
00:40:37.640 They don't even bother. 0.99
00:40:38.440 Shut up, Hayter. 0.99
00:40:40.000 Because, of course, the true imperative is to change the complexion of the United States. 0.99
00:40:43.460 And the left has been really clear about this.
00:40:45.440 Joe Biden said it out loud multiple times.
00:40:47.180 That's a good thing.
00:40:47.920 Nancy Pelosi said exactly the same thing.
00:40:50.220 But now you have the neocon wing of the Republican Party also saying that's the goal.
00:40:57.860 what's so interesting is that even as they say out loud effectively our deepest fear is that
00:41:07.320 the united states will be some kind of ethno state with a racial majority that's white that's a huge
00:41:12.080 fear even as they say that they demand that israel remain an ethno state here's a tweet
00:41:21.020 and there are many but here's just from don bacon the guy you just heard calling that poor woman
00:41:25.200 anti-immigrant, a hater, a bad Christian. Here's his definition of support for Israel. And this is
00:41:31.540 a tweet he sent this fall. Zionists believe the Jewish people should have a homeland called
00:41:38.460 Israel as promised in the Bible. If you don't think Israel should exist as a Jewish state,
00:41:44.720 then I'd say you're an anti-Semite. You're an anti-Semite if you don't think that Israel is
00:41:52.920 inherently and has a moral right to be, a biblical right to be, an ethnostate. Not just a state,
00:41:58.180 a Jewish state. Now, a lot of us are kind of agnostic on this question. Israel wants to be
00:42:04.300 an ethnostate? Fine. Okay. Not my country. Not too upset about it. Feel sorry for the mistreatment, 0.91
00:42:11.380 the murder of Palestinians. But a kind of core tenet of nationalism is each country gets to
00:42:17.800 define its purpose and its vision for itself. And if it's not your country, it's kind of not
00:42:22.360 your business as long as they're not forcing you to say pay for it, which they are. But let's say
00:42:27.460 they weren't. And Israel wants to remain an ethnostate. Fine. It is an ethnostate. Don't 0.94
00:42:33.140 know why it's embarrassing to say that. Don Bacon just said that. You're an anti-Semite if you don't
00:42:36.520 want it to be a Jewish state. Okay, fine. Fair enough. Don't agree with your definition of 0.99
00:42:41.200 anti-Semitism, but it's very important to Don Bacon that Israel will remain an ethnostate and
00:42:45.580 very important to most members of Congress. They'll tell you this. But it's at the same time 0.70
00:42:50.460 repugnant the idea that the United States should be an ethnostate. In other words, their number one 0.80
00:42:54.700 goal as a policy question is to keep Israel an ethnostate while preventing the United States 0.85
00:42:59.500 from being one. What is that? Why are those goals the inverse of one another? And why are 0.86
00:43:09.400 they so important? You would think a leader of our country would be completely agnostic as to
00:43:14.100 the demographic makeup of Israel. Why does that matter to us exactly? What effect does that have
00:43:19.060 in the United States?
00:43:19.740 Why is that our concern?
00:43:21.400 Again, as long as you have to pay for it,
00:43:22.780 your weird apartheid system 0.93
00:43:24.060 or the murder of your racial opponents, 0.84
00:43:27.420 we shouldn't be paying for that.
00:43:29.560 But as long as we're not,
00:43:31.620 how many members of Congress
00:43:32.580 are standing up and saying
00:43:33.480 it's really important
00:43:34.360 that China remain 95% Han Chinese? 0.91
00:43:36.900 Or it's bad that they remain 95% Han Chinese.
00:43:39.880 Members of Congress don't even know
00:43:40.840 what the ethnic mix of China is.
00:43:42.060 They don't care.
00:43:43.500 But they know a lot about
00:43:44.680 the ethnic mix of the United States
00:43:45.900 and Western Europe and Canada
00:43:47.540 and New Zealand and Australia.
00:43:49.700 And they're very opposed
00:43:51.260 to those countries
00:43:52.060 remaining majority white. 1.00
00:43:53.240 It's one of their main complaints
00:43:54.580 about Russia, by the way.
00:43:55.980 They fixed that problem in Ukraine
00:43:57.360 because this war, 0.99
00:44:00.360 which has been supported
00:44:01.360 from day one
00:44:02.020 by the very same neocon lobby
00:44:04.640 that got us into the war with Iran,
00:44:06.820 that lobby has extended this war
00:44:09.720 with U.S. and now European tax dollars
00:44:12.500 to the point where 1.00
00:44:13.400 so many Ukrainian men
00:44:14.840 have been killed
00:44:15.540 that Budanov,
00:44:17.160 the number two in the Ukrainian government
00:44:18.620 just the other day announced
00:44:19.560 we're going to have to import Africans 1.00
00:44:21.100 to live and work here 1.00
00:44:22.540 because we don't have enough men. 0.69
00:44:23.540 We're going to have to change 1.00
00:44:24.380 the demographic mix of Ukraine 1.00
00:44:26.160 for all time, for all time. 1.00
00:44:28.860 We're going to do what Genghis Khan
00:44:30.980 was unable to do,
00:44:31.860 which is totally change
00:44:33.140 the composition of who lives in Ukraine.
00:44:36.220 So Ukraine as a nation,
00:44:38.300 the nation that existed five years ago,
00:44:40.960 will cease to exist, period.
00:44:44.220 And its farmland will likely be bought
00:44:46.140 by foreigners.
00:44:47.160 Because that's now legal under Zelensky. 0.94
00:44:49.980 So you just saw the elimination of a European country
00:44:53.280 as it existed five years ago.
00:44:57.000 And you saw that not simply because Putin rolled over the border
00:45:00.440 and invaded sovereign Ukraine.
00:45:02.740 You saw that because Western elites pushed that.
00:45:06.300 That has been their overriding goal for the past four and a half years.
00:45:12.080 Hmm.
00:45:12.400 so now you're starting to understand that the goal is to allow really one ethno state in the
00:45:21.360 rest and not allow any others now why would that be the goal and the truth is no clue no idea that
00:45:27.180 is so weird doubtless there is some explanation maybe it's theological or spiritual it it's
00:45:33.860 above my level of understanding but just noting the behavior and the public statements of everyone
00:45:39.040 involved, that's clearly the standard that they're holding this country and the rest
00:45:43.060 of the world to. One ethnostate and one ethnostate only. And by the way, only one country with 0.77
00:45:47.060 an inherent, quote, right to exist. And if you press them, and I have,
00:45:51.280 they will admit only one country has a right to exist. We may
00:45:55.200 enjoy having certain countries exist, and if they can defend themselves, they can
00:45:59.000 continue to exist. But only one country possesses an inherent right to
00:46:03.100 exist. And that's also the only country that has a right to be an ethnostate.
00:46:07.720 No European country possesses that right.
00:46:10.660 So why bring this up?
00:46:12.620 Well, because there's no avoiding it.
00:46:13.940 That's why.
00:46:14.620 Not because it's a comfortable topic.
00:46:17.000 Not because the people in charge
00:46:19.120 are going to be happy to hear it.
00:46:20.740 They won't be.
00:46:22.200 But because you should know it.
00:46:24.040 We are in a moment of profound change.
00:46:26.860 Whenever you're staring down the barrel
00:46:28.140 of global famine, which we are,
00:46:31.000 and the end of our longstanding system
00:46:34.240 of energy production and distribution,
00:46:36.340 which we are. Whenever there's a real possibility that someone uses nuclear weapons, which we face
00:46:43.500 despite whatever they tell you, that is real. Doesn't mean it's going to happen. It could happen.
00:46:47.920 You are looking at a world that is resetting. Big things are changing. Not just little national
00:46:54.120 borders, but much more than that. The collapse of empires, the rise of others, maybe even more than
00:47:00.160 that. So you should know the motives of the people involved. And there is no topic that reveals
00:47:07.520 motives more clearly than the question of speech, which is the foundation of freedom in all countries
00:47:16.060 at all times and is the basis of our system of government. Democracy cannot work unless people
00:47:23.360 are free to say what they think is true. Because how can you cast an informed vote if you don't
00:47:28.860 know the facts. Well, if you're prevented from speaking honestly about what you think those facts
00:47:33.720 are, of course, you can't cast an informed vote and the entire system falls apart. But it's even
00:47:38.020 deeper than that. You cannot tell a sovereign human being what he must say or believe, period.
00:47:46.860 Because those rights are inherent. Human beings are born with the right to say and believe what
00:47:55.260 they think is true. That right was given them by God, not by government. So if you take it away,
00:48:01.160 you are by definition treating people as subhuman. You are telling them you cannot speak
00:48:07.240 because you don't possess those rights because I consider you a slave. So this really is the
00:48:13.740 difference between freedom and slavery. So whenever you hear people say, using whatever
00:48:18.840 pretext they come up with at the moment, you're not allowed to say that. You are watching an
00:48:24.160 attempt by the people in charge to enslave the people they rule over. And you are, and it brings
00:48:31.700 great sadness to acknowledge this, you are watching right now the people that if you're watching this
00:48:37.420 you may have voted for, the president and the constellation of supporters around him, office
00:48:43.260 holders around him, call for censorship. Now we're going to begin explaining and showing that this is
00:48:50.120 true, with a clip from someone you always kind of feel guilty playing these because it is Mark
00:48:55.400 Levin, after all, who is an audience in the dozens organically, but who has been pretty reliably used
00:49:01.680 as a mouthpiece for what's coming next from this administration over the past year. He is, we know
00:49:08.960 this because the president has said it many times, very close to the president and fully aligned with
00:49:12.520 the president, according to the president's own description. So here is Mark Levin's solution
00:49:18.080 to America's greatest and most pressing problem from his perspective, which is criticism of the
00:49:23.300 government of Israel. Here's what we should do about it, says Mark Levin. The violence that is
00:49:27.220 being preached on different broadcast platforms by different politicians, largely, not exclusively, 0.70
00:49:36.640 largely Democrats, largely leftists, Marxist Islamists, although we have the woke Reich, 0.84
00:49:42.400 R-E-I-C-H, is horrendous. And I believe is really, really adding fuel to the fire of hate out there 0.88
00:49:51.660 and making it very, very difficult for a free people even have a discussion about what they
00:49:56.860 want or how they want it and so forth. And so it's not the first time things like this have
00:50:03.680 happened but it really is problematic because so much of it is protected and you heard people say
00:50:10.440 don't you believe in the first amendment they don't even know what the first amendment believe
00:50:13.520 uh do you want to de-platform people you know the libs do that i don't have any problem with
00:50:18.220 de-platforming nazis now it's hard it's hard to laugh at a levin clip but it's not an attack on
00:50:27.040 him but it's just the irony is so rich um so he begins by saying that people who criticize the
00:50:33.440 government of Israel are espousing violence. Now, this is coming from a guy who's literally called
00:50:37.500 pretty recently on the air on Fox News for nuclear strikes against the government of Iran, who has
00:50:44.200 relentlessly defended the murder of civilians by this and the Israeli government. So for this person
00:50:50.660 to say that opponents of violence are actually the ones espousing violence is hilarious, but on brand,
00:50:59.000 because it's, of course, always the sin they're committing
00:51:02.140 that they accuse you of being guilty of
00:51:04.300 always and everywhere.
00:51:05.740 It's the perfect inversion, which is the hallmark of evil.
00:51:09.440 The evil lie is never five degrees from the truth.
00:51:12.020 It's 180 degrees from the truth.
00:51:13.520 They accuse you of what they're doing,
00:51:15.100 and that's how you know.
00:51:16.420 It's not simply prevarication.
00:51:17.880 It is a denial of the existence of truth.
00:51:20.860 But in any case, you see Mark Levin saying,
00:51:23.840 people who criticize the government of Israel,
00:51:26.140 and that is his, and to the extent there is one,
00:51:28.680 the official definition of anti-Semitism
00:51:30.660 is criticism of the government of Israel,
00:51:32.620 the secular government of Israel,
00:51:34.020 which is not supported by all Jews, that's for sure.
00:51:37.700 But no matter, criticism of a foreign government 0.63
00:51:41.080 is hate, tantamount to violence,
00:51:45.740 is stochastic terrorism, the left might say.
00:51:50.160 And Mark Levin, the right-wing MAGA guy,
00:51:54.020 is saying those people should be silenced
00:51:56.700 by the tech companies.
00:51:57.720 But that's not censorship because somehow it's not.
00:52:02.620 Well, that is exactly what Republicans, including Donald Trump, described as censorship when
00:52:09.440 the last Democratic administration did it at scale during COVID.
00:52:13.940 That is exactly what they were talking about when they said the Biden administration engages
00:52:17.380 in censorship.
00:52:18.460 And they were right.
00:52:20.660 Telling tech companies, which are dependent on federal contracts, that they have to tow
00:52:26.140 a political line is the same as banning speech because tech companies are the conduits through
00:52:32.920 speech flows. So yes, that is censorship legally and morally. And Mark Levin, who has positions
00:52:42.360 that are shared by only a tiny percentage of the American population, and this is knowable through
00:52:46.020 public opinion polling, is telling you that anyone who disagrees with him must be silenced.
00:52:51.780 But he's just a weekend host on Fox News. Who cares what Mark Levin says? Well, as if on cue, Mark Levin's suggestion on Fox News has now been bolstered by an actual piece of legislation sponsored by Josh Gottenheimer, the Democrat from New Jersey, and amazingly, Republican MAGA stalwart Mike Lawler, two of the most florid and least ashamed neocons in the United States.
00:53:19.700 Congress introduced legislation today to compel the tech companies to ban people who criticize
00:53:26.680 Israel, the government of Israel, because that's hate. And under the IHRA definition
00:53:32.220 of antisemitism, they're right. The definition that's been encoded in law in the majority of 1.00
00:53:39.420 American states and in 40 countries around the world, the definition we didn't pay any attention 0.66
00:53:43.900 to because it seemed too dumb and like, who cares? That definition is now the operative
00:53:48.760 definition, and it means that criticizing the behavior of a foreign government is a hate crime
00:53:55.180 and can get you censored in your own country. So what's the takeaway from all this? Well,
00:54:02.600 the first takeaway is censorship is coming, and it will work unless people exercise their
00:54:09.380 God-given and First Amendment-guaranteed right to push back against it with words and do so at
00:54:15.580 high volume without any shame at all. It's going to need a refusal to be intimidated by false
00:54:22.420 claims of, quote, hate. And any Republican who voted for Donald Trump because he was sick of
00:54:27.360 being told to shut up racist should join this chorus. No, you're not going to intimidate me
00:54:32.040 into being quiet about the behavior of a foreign government that I pay for just because you call 0.86
00:54:36.340 it hate. Not playing that game. Sorry, I voted against this and I'm going to stand on principle
00:54:40.800 and fight it now, no matter what.
00:54:42.840 That's the first thing.
00:54:44.380 But the second thing to know
00:54:45.700 is that the motive here is dark.
00:54:48.380 This is not how you would ever treat
00:54:51.700 people you cared about.
00:54:53.480 This is how you treat people you hate.
00:54:56.400 People you have contempt for,
00:54:57.540 who you find inconvenient, annoying,
00:54:59.780 whose mere presence you find grating. 1.00
00:55:01.820 You'd rather live next to Haitians 1.00
00:55:04.160 under temporary protective status 1.00
00:55:06.160 than next to birthright Americans 0.98
00:55:08.780 who have these outmoded expectations of like a job 0.91
00:55:12.320 and healthcare they can pay for
00:55:14.440 in an emergency room that's not crowded
00:55:15.960 with people who don't speak English. 0.77
00:55:17.320 And I don't know, the right to say what they think,
00:55:19.720 the right to complain about their leaders,
00:55:21.340 even the right to complain about the behavior 0.96
00:55:23.080 of a foreign country that they pay for.
00:55:28.240 You hate people like that.
00:55:30.760 And there may be other reasons you hate them, 0.81
00:55:33.180 but you certainly hate them
00:55:34.700 because they are a reminder of how you have failed.
00:55:37.020 you have not done a good job running this country you don't even care to try you'd rather run the
00:55:43.540 world or the empire you don't want to improve baltimore you don't care about gary indiana
00:55:48.340 rural america makes you sick as bill crystal said all those coupon clippers and people just barely
00:55:53.280 holding on normal leaders would ask themselves why are people mad what are they dissatisfied with
00:56:00.940 how can i help them they're clearly in pain they should have asked this question when trump got
00:56:06.520 elected the first time? Why would you elect an orange guy who ran casinos in Atlantic City when
00:56:10.940 they're all kinds of great candidates? Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz, you had a lot to choose from, but
00:56:15.200 you chose Trump. A normal, reflective person would reach the only conclusion possible, which is
00:56:21.380 because they're dissatisfied with me. And maybe I need to change and serve their needs better and
00:56:26.060 listen to them once in a while and not dismiss them with the back of the hand or charges of
00:56:30.140 bad motives or hate or censorship, but they haven't done that. And they haven't even tried
00:56:36.640 to do that. They've never looked inward once in 10 years. And now they've reached the point of
00:56:40.460 a maximum frustration where the biggest thing they've ever done, which is try to regime change
00:56:45.320 the Iranian government. And it hasn't worked. That's the biggest thing they've ever done.
00:56:48.320 They staked everything on that. And you should just know that at this point, now that that's
00:56:53.740 not working out, they will not be mad at themselves. They're going to be mad at you
00:56:58.160 for not liking it or appreciating it
00:57:00.460 or for talking about it at all
00:57:01.660 or for holding on to your outdated expectations
00:57:04.620 about what life in this country was like then
00:57:06.720 and should be now.
00:57:09.020 And above all, for the insistence
00:57:11.100 that you have as a voter and an American
00:57:12.940 that the people in charge should serve you,
00:57:14.700 not just themselves and their families.
00:57:17.860 Your insistence that, wait a second,
00:57:20.780 this Epstein thing,
00:57:22.580 what is the Epstein thing? 1.00
00:57:24.620 Shut up. 0.95
00:57:25.420 by the way it's just a few years ago that harvard university took the name of charles glass off a 0.99
00:57:31.700 building congress famous congressman the glass steagle act of 1933 half written by congressman
00:57:39.240 glass and took his name off a building why because he was a racist and we have to get rid of all
00:57:44.220 racists on the buildings at harvard because we're making a moral statement harvard does not tolerate
00:57:48.820 racism even retroactively if we find a racist with a name on a building at harvard we're taking
00:57:53.660 it off so pure are our motives but guess whose name is still there not just on a building but
00:58:01.180 on the building at the entrance of the kennedy school of government at harvard at the entrance
00:58:05.220 the lex wexner building les wexner the guy who bankrolled epstein whatever epstein was accused of
00:58:14.440 wexner probably helped pay for it and his name is still on the building at harvard now why is
00:58:20.760 that meaningful because it's a humiliation exercise it's a really clear statement your
00:58:26.600 ancestors were flawed disgusting we're taking their names off tearing the monuments down 0.60
00:58:32.900 but les wexner no it's you may hate it we don't care what you think 0.98
00:58:38.180 it's the les wexner building at harvard you getting the message now it's a middle finger to you
00:58:47.500 that's hatred you would think that just out of politeness you would take wexner's name off the
00:58:56.420 building you would think that right you would think just out of like a sense of duty that you
00:59:04.120 might put some of the people who run purdue pharma in jail at least maybe one day just symbolically
00:59:08.560 your product killed tens of thousands of americans and you knew it was doing it you sold it anyway
00:59:14.660 no not one person not one day you think like the heads of the big banks tank the global economy
00:59:22.720 the global financial crisis you think like one of them could go to jail for one day nope
00:59:26.920 nope it's your fault you borrowed too much so we have seen the outline of their contempt
00:59:36.260 for a long time it's not just indifference it's loathing and it's aimed at the population and
00:59:41.740 now it's coming to a head because war is by definition crisis and it forces pre-existing
00:59:47.440 trends to the surface and you should be prepared for however this manifests because it's definitely
00:59:53.660 coming so there is the coolest movie we can imagine it's a new film adaptation of george
01:00:01.220 orwell's amazing novel animal farm 1984 gets all the attention but animal farm is better it's coming
01:00:11.400 theater is May 1st. You probably remember that Animal Farm is not actually about animals. It's
01:00:15.640 about human nature, the desire for authority, and how quickly people tend to fall in line
01:00:20.880 and give up all of their God-given rights. The movie follows Lucky, a young pig whose curiosity
01:00:27.800 and courage guide viewers through the farm's rise and fall. We see hope, betrayal, and above all,
01:00:33.240 the danger of totalitarian power. This is a movie to watch with your kids, especially if they're
01:00:38.320 old enough to ask real questions and to notice when the answers don't add up. The book affected
01:00:43.700 generations of American school kids, no longer taught, of course, because it's too true. 1.00
01:00:50.220 What do you do when the rules start changing and you're told you're not allowed to notice? Do you 1.00
01:00:54.140 speak up or do you just go along with it because, hey, that's easier? That's the conversation you
01:01:00.040 should have with your kids about power, corruption, and freedom. This movie's entertaining. It's sharp.
01:01:05.580 Not many studios would do it at this point, but Angel did because their guild members voted to bring it to the big screen.
01:01:11.900 So see it, talk about it, decide for yourself what it means.

01:02:49.640 Pucker.
01:02:50.760 So is there a connection?
01:02:53.140 There obviously is.
01:02:53.960 What exactly is the connection between neoconservative politics, the desire to regime change foreign powers, despite the total lack of benefits of the United States, and the desire to radically change the demographic mix of the United States and the desire to, I don't know, lend money at high interest or let any of the festering social problems in this country go unaddressed?
01:03:15.320 what is the connection you really have to serve in the congress to know and marjorie taylor green
01:03:21.240 did for five years from georgia whether you agree with her or not you'd have to say one of the most
01:03:26.800 sincere people ever to serve in the congress so sincere that when she found out that all of it
01:03:30.500 was fake she left we thought it'd be worth asking her what is going on here ladies and gentlemen
01:03:36.240 marjorie taylor green congressman thanks a lot for joining us so you pretty recently served in
01:03:42.760 in the U.S. House. So maybe you can answer this question. Why is it that so many of the members
01:03:48.160 of Congress who support this war, who supported the Iraq war, who support every pointless 0.86
01:03:53.100 counterproductive foreign entanglement are also the very same people who were trying to force
01:03:59.540 Americans to take the COVID shot, who voted to put spyware in people's cars, who are for
01:04:06.820 the castration of children, who ignore the opioid crisis, and who are for mass migration?
01:04:12.760 why would neocon politics bring you to a place
01:04:17.640 where you support all of these other things
01:04:19.280 that are not connected to foreign policy,
01:04:20.860 but that are also bad for the population of this country?
01:04:24.280 Like, what's the connector?
01:04:26.560 Well, the obvious first response,
01:04:29.900 any person with common sense would say,
01:04:32.040 I have no idea why they would ever do that, right?
01:04:35.260 Fair, yeah, fair.
01:04:36.440 And then secondly, I think the question is,
01:04:39.220 why do Americans keep voting for these people?
01:04:42.760 And I think their responsibility falls on the voters to get rid of them.
01:04:48.140 But I'll tell you why they keep voting for those things, Tucker.
01:04:51.040 Having served in Congress for five years, what I learned from the inside is there are
01:04:57.020 very powerful industries and their lobby, their very powerful lobbyists, and the financial
01:05:04.420 donations and structures that are built behind them is what entangles these politicians
01:05:11.320 into supporting things that are unimaginable,
01:05:14.780 things that Americans do not vote for.
01:05:16.580 Like you said, gender-affirming care, 1.00
01:05:19.080 transing children, requiring cars
01:05:23.340 to have AI, big tech technology in them
01:05:26.860 where they won't start if the AI deems
01:05:30.360 that you're not capable of driving.
01:05:32.820 The list goes on and on.
01:05:35.400 Voting for FISA 702 without warrants,
01:05:39.620 warrantless spying on Americans.
01:05:41.040 That's actually happening.
01:05:42.520 I think they're having a vote right now on the House floor
01:05:44.700 on the rule to move forward to do that.
01:05:48.140 You can't answer, it doesn't make sense
01:05:50.080 why they support these things,
01:05:51.420 but I can tell you that it has a lot to do
01:05:53.560 with the power structure in Washington, D.C.,
01:05:56.820 and it supports both Republicans and Democrats.
01:06:01.720 I think it's such a good point to make
01:06:04.240 because it's not ideological,
01:06:06.860 at least in a way that people my age can understand.
01:06:10.060 There's nothing conservative about allowing the government to spy on you.
01:06:16.280 There's nothing liberal about it in a traditional sense either.
01:06:19.820 These are not liberal, conservative, left, right, even Republican, Democrat divides.
01:06:24.800 It's almost like there's a group that's for authoritarian policies that hurt Americans.
01:06:31.560 And that's kind of what connects all of these positions.
01:06:35.680 No, absolutely.
01:06:36.960 They're bought and paid for. 0.97
01:06:38.640 They do not represent the American people 0.79
01:06:40.840 or the American people's interest.
01:06:43.000 And it's because they're funded that way.
01:06:46.600 Take, for example, oh my gosh, this was shocking to me.
01:06:50.720 Just last week, last week, right?
01:06:52.860 57 Republicans voted no on an amendment
01:06:56.920 to stop the government from controlling your car.
01:07:00.800 Like that, what we're talking about, the AI capability.
01:07:04.720 This was something that Biden and the Democrats,
01:07:06.820 They passed a law when I was serving in Congress.
01:07:10.180 Of course, I voted no to it.
01:07:12.020 And the law is to require every new car starting in 2027
01:07:15.700 to have technology in there to be able to basically scan you
01:07:20.620 and determine if you're drunk, if you're capable,
01:07:24.700 if you're healthy and fit and capable of driving your automobile.
01:07:29.560 And the car will not start if AI determines that you're not.
01:07:33.640 Now, 57 Republicans voted no on an amendment to stop that from happening.
01:07:40.300 And I was shocked it's your usuals, you know, well, Mike Lawler, Don Bacon, Randy Fine.
01:07:48.700 But I was really surprised to see a name on the list, a recently elected Republican, Brian
01:07:53.620 Jack from Georgia, who campaigned as being a conservative.
01:07:58.800 I know his district really well.
01:08:00.640 It was just to the south of my old district.
01:08:02.400 These people don't support that, but yet his name was on there, and the question is, how did he fall into that trap, and why in the world would he vote no on an amendment to stop the government from basically controlling your vehicle?
01:08:18.760 But they get pulled in, and it all happens through fundraising, and it's the most unreal thing I've ever seen in my life.
01:08:28.240 So back to that, and I guess the only thing I would quibble with in your description is
01:08:32.960 the term your vehicle. If the government can turn it off, it's not your vehicle anymore.
01:08:37.400 That's right.
01:08:37.840 They just took your vehicle from you. It's not yours. You don't have control over it,
01:08:41.000 despite the fact you pay for it and keep up with the insurance and the maintenance.
01:08:45.760 But to this question of the member from your delegation, the Georgia delegation,
01:08:50.360 who just got elected as a, quote, conservative, presumably for civil liberties and freedom and
01:08:55.220 the Constitution. Like how specifically do you think someone like that could wind up casting a
01:09:01.360 vote this obviously authoritarian, this obviously in contradiction to his own stated values? Like
01:09:08.620 what was the process that got him there? Do you imagine? Climbing the leadership ladder,
01:09:14.140 wanting to basically be the chairman of the NRCC, wanting to be fully integrated and in charge of
01:09:21.620 fundraising for the House GOP. That's probably what pulled him in. Brian Jack, who I actually
01:09:28.560 campaigned for, I endorsed him because I believed he would be America first. So I was really shocked
01:09:34.360 to see his name on this list. Actually, really disgusted with it. I'm very unhappy that his name
01:09:41.160 is on this list. Makes me regret endorsing him. I bet. Yeah, for sure. But his history is he was
01:09:48.560 on the political side for the president
01:09:51.200 in the first administration,
01:09:52.880 which means he worked with all the candidates
01:09:55.040 and all the donors.
01:09:57.360 Then he worked on the political operation
01:10:00.360 for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy
01:10:02.680 when he was the minority leader
01:10:04.760 and then became Speaker of the House.
01:10:06.860 So he's very donor-driven,
01:10:08.860 big donor-driven Washington, D.C. donors,
01:10:11.640 donors that require government contracts,
01:10:14.300 donors that are going to basically
01:10:16.720 keep the big industries propped up and going. And so that's what would pull a Republican that
01:10:23.800 campaigned on being America first, campaigned on being MAGA, campaigned on being a conservative.
01:10:31.100 It's the donor-driven money that happens behind the scenes that pulls a Republican over to that
01:10:38.480 side. And when I say Republican-driven, it's power. It's sheer power. In Washington, D.C.,
01:10:46.700 A member of Congress can fully fill their campaign coffers with just a few fundraisers in Washington, D.C., where you have the industry giants there, say whether it's the military industrial complex, the base there, those companies, whether it's pharmaceutical companies, big tech companies, you name it.
01:11:12.300 any industry that is trying to get this candidate to support the things that they desperately need
01:11:18.540 to empower them, empower their companies, help their companies become richer and richer and 0.98
01:11:23.420 richer and dominate their industry, these executives will show up with their wives
01:11:29.500 and they'll have 10 to 20, maybe 30 of them there. And they're writing max checks, max checks
01:11:36.780 on behalf of themselves,
01:11:38.820 max checks on behalf of their wives.
01:11:41.000 And they will be there supporting
01:11:42.980 this Republican member of Congress
01:11:46.960 that needs to get reelected.
01:11:48.740 And they can make hundreds of thousands of dollars, 0.84
01:11:52.540 up to a million dollars like that
01:11:54.840 on just a few of those fundraisers.
01:11:57.300 And so these Republicans
01:11:59.220 that are flying back and forth
01:12:00.940 to Washington, D.C. every week,
01:12:02.480 they're away from their family,
01:12:03.540 they're away from their friends,
01:12:04.640 they're away from the people that elected them, which makes them forget what's important.
01:12:09.340 They get really lazy and it gets easy to just have a couple of fundraisers where you're getting
01:12:14.500 drunk on cocktails and eating little weenies on a stick or whatever they're serving up there in
01:12:20.380 the Capitol Hill Club. And this is how they'll make all that money. And it's a lot easier than
01:12:26.040 having to go back to your district, face your district, have personal meetings with the donors
01:12:31.780 and the good people that live in your district,
01:12:34.220 it's a lot easier just to depend on those little fundraisers
01:12:37.900 and hang around with the lobbyists
01:12:39.980 and the people in Washington
01:12:41.260 that you're seeing every single week
01:12:43.480 than it is to go back home and say,
01:12:45.600 hey, you guys, I got to get reelected.
01:12:47.220 Can you support my campaign?
01:12:48.760 I'd appreciate pitching in 50 or $100
01:12:51.440 or if you're capable, a max donation would be great.
01:12:55.260 You know, I've got to get reelected
01:12:56.420 to keep representing you.
01:12:58.080 And so that's how they,
01:12:59.380 some of the ones that have good intentions,
01:13:02.960 that's how they fall into it.
01:13:05.120 But Tucker, there's a whole other side.
01:13:08.200 There are Republican members of Congress
01:13:10.800 that never had good intentions, ever, ever.
01:13:14.760 And they came into the House of Representatives
01:13:17.520 already completely supported and propped up
01:13:22.100 and funded by this nasty entanglement
01:13:25.160 I'm talking about in Washington.
01:13:26.720 And I watched it with my own eyes when I watched,
01:13:29.380 Mike Lawler, get elected.
01:13:32.200 Cost of living is already making it hard to live here, and it's not getting any better.
01:13:36.260 Unfortunately, it's likely to get worse, and a lot of Americans fill the gap with credit cards,
01:13:40.780 not just for fancy dinners, but to cover things like groceries and bills.
01:13:45.000 That is a disaster.
01:13:47.080 It's understandable, but don't go down that road because there is a tax, in effect, a survival tax of 20% interest or more.
01:13:54.620 Why would you do that?
01:13:55.680 Why would you hand money to the big banks when you can keep it for your family?
01:13:59.380 Our friends at American Financing have a better way.
01:14:02.660 If you're looking to buy your first home
01:14:04.260 or refinance your current one,
01:14:05.540 they're helping Americans achieve the dream of home ownership
01:14:07.800 with monthly mortgage rates currently in the fives.
01:14:11.900 American Financing saves its customers
01:14:13.700 an average of 800 bucks per month.
01:14:15.280 That's nearly 10 grand every year back to you.
01:14:18.980 This isn't just a loan.
01:14:20.220 It's a total financial reset.
01:14:23.120 So debt is tough, but there's a smart way to do it
01:14:25.600 and a reckless, self-destructive way to do it, credit cards.
01:14:29.360 And so we recommend American Financing.
01:14:31.080 They're salary-based, not commission-based,
01:14:32.920 which means they actually work for you, not the banks.
01:14:35.940 They're called America's Home for Home Loans for a reason.
01:14:38.600 Call 800-685-5696.
01:14:43.760 800-685-5696 or visit AmericanFinancing.net.
01:14:49.160 So most people don't wake up in the morning
01:14:50.920 and decide to feel horrible, exhausted, foggy,
01:14:53.800 disconnected from themselves,
01:14:54.900 but it does happen and it happens slowly.
01:14:58.040 You're working hard, you're showing up, and then your energy disappears by midday.
01:15:01.780 Your focus is dull, your weight won't move.
01:15:04.720 A lot of people are told, that's just getting old.
01:15:06.740 That's what it is.
01:15:07.460 But that's not actually true.
01:15:10.080 For many men and women, these are not personal failures.
01:15:12.920 They are signals tied to your metabolism, your hormones, and nutrient imbalances that
01:15:18.660 go undetected for years.
01:15:19.680 You don't even know you're deficient.
01:15:21.940 And that's why we're happy to partner with Joy & Blokes, a company that was built for
01:15:25.380 people who are done guessing and ready to figure out what exactly is going on. And that starts
01:15:30.940 with comprehensive lab work and a one-on-one consultation with a licensed clinician. An
01:15:35.800 actual human being explains what's happening inside you and builds a personalized plan,
01:15:40.380 which includes hormone optimization, peptide therapy, targeted supplements. So don't settle,
01:15:45.500 go to joyandblokes.com slash Tucker, use the code Tucker for 50% off your lab work and 20% off
01:15:51.900 all supplements that's joy and blokes.com slash tucker use the code tucker 50 off labs 20 off
01:15:59.760 supplements join blokes get your edge back so mike lawler is and don bacon is another name you
01:16:08.640 mentioned a minute ago but it is kind of a metaphor for the corruption in the system it
01:16:13.160 would seem to me so mike lawler obviously is way out there on pointless wars neocon politics
01:16:20.680 loyalty to Israel almost to a cartoonish point, but he's also leading the charge on every other
01:16:29.240 anti-human initiative that comes out of the United States Congress. Anything that's bad for the
01:16:33.600 public, he's for. Anything that might help the public, he ignores. What is that? What is his
01:16:41.160 motive? Do you understand? I'll go back to when he was a candidate for Congress. I was already
01:16:48.820 serving in the House. And in our conference meetings, in our GOP conference meetings,
01:16:54.180 the ones that we have at the Capitol Hill, we have two different type of conference meetings.
01:16:58.780 Each week, there's one meeting a week. And it's kind of sad that your Republican representatives
01:17:04.500 only meet one time a week. But once a week, and one is either political, and that one happens
01:17:10.840 inside the Capitol. And then there's another kind that's completely and totally campaign and
01:17:17.140 fundraising related. That one happens off campus at the Capitol Hill Club. And they bring in
01:17:24.280 candidates. They'll bring in, you know, any new candidate running for Congress that of course
01:17:28.400 is only approved by the NRCC and approved by the traditional establishment Republican Party
01:17:35.600 in Washington. So they will bring in these candidates into this GOP meeting. They'll have
01:17:41.380 them stand up, raise their hand, introduce themselves. The speaker or the leader, whoever
01:17:46.120 is talking will praise them and explain to everyone in the room why they've got to write
01:17:50.800 them a max check immediately and help get them elected because they're fighting to become part
01:17:55.640 of the team. So I remember specifically when Mike Lawler came in and he was welcomed in by
01:18:03.080 everybody. I mean, he was propped up as the guy we have to fight for one of the most critical races
01:18:09.500 as an incoming Republican candidate
01:18:12.640 because it was a very close district.
01:18:15.500 And it was so, we were told it was so important
01:18:18.180 to win this district.
01:18:19.920 Well, I learned a lot about him very quickly.
01:18:22.560 He, as a Catholic, Mike Lawler as a Catholic,
01:18:25.420 was heavily supported and funded
01:18:27.680 by the Jewish community there
01:18:30.680 and was heavenly being supported
01:18:32.840 by all the Christian Zionists.
01:18:35.140 And he instantly had more support
01:18:37.820 from pretty much every fundraising mechanism
01:18:40.780 that there is in Washington, D.C.
01:18:42.820 that supports Republicans.
01:18:44.500 He had more help than I could have ever dreamed of having
01:18:47.860 ever in my entire political career.
01:18:51.000 And I was like, wow, what is going on with this guy?
01:18:54.440 And it turns out he did win his race.
01:18:58.300 It was a narrow victory, but he did win it.
01:19:00.780 And of course, he instantly came
01:19:04.220 into the House of Representatives
01:19:05.900 completely bought and paid for
01:19:09.240 by all of the establishment donor class
01:19:12.580 that had supported him.
01:19:14.440 He hated Donald Trump,
01:19:16.520 made fun of him constantly,
01:19:19.140 mimicked him making fun of his voice.
01:19:21.560 He used to attack me, make fun of me,
01:19:23.680 come and find me on the House floor
01:19:25.100 and make fun of me for supporting Donald Trump.
01:19:27.740 And this was in the four years
01:19:30.180 before Trump got elected as president again in 2024.
01:19:33.640 four. And he was, I was just like, this guy's like literally one of the worst. Well, I would say he's
01:19:41.260 the worst, but Randy Fine is really the worst. But Mike Lawler was unbelievably, I thought he
01:19:48.200 was a Democrat. I was like, he's literally a Democrat. He's so against all the things that
01:19:53.660 Republican voters care about. And he clearly hates Donald Trump. Well, I saw this unbelievable
01:19:59.580 change in him. And of course, it happened after Trump won his primary in 2024. All of a sudden,
01:20:08.700 Mike Lawler, I started joking, I started calling him MAGA Mike Lawler, because he was all of a
01:20:14.380 sudden like becoming Trump's biggest supporter. And he was all excited. He got a MAGA hat signed
01:20:20.960 by Donald Trump, came straight up to me to show it to me. And I'll never forget the day that he
01:20:26.740 had gone and met with the president at the White House. Of course, I was not invited.
01:20:32.260 Only this new, all the Republicans that hated the president before. Let me tell you, Tucker,
01:20:38.280 it all changed. When Trump went in the White House, literally in a matter of months,
01:20:43.820 those of us that fought for him, fought for him when no one else would, who were basically like
01:20:50.100 the inner circle, we all of a sudden got kicked out. And it was the Republicans like Mike Lawler
01:20:56.220 and all these other guys
01:20:57.680 that were the ones being constantly ushered
01:21:00.280 into the White House for meetings
01:21:02.060 and all kinds of things.
01:21:03.520 So he came back on the House floor one day
01:21:05.380 and he had one of Trump's gigantic challenge coins
01:21:09.160 that's like big and gold and obnoxious and heavy.
01:21:12.180 And he came up and he was like,
01:21:14.140 I've got one of these, Marjorie.
01:21:15.800 Do you have one of these?
01:21:16.980 And he was all bragging about it.
01:21:19.180 But you know what that told me, Tucker,
01:21:21.220 is what I really reflecting on it now
01:21:24.480 that I didn't really realize at that time
01:21:27.000 was that the president,
01:21:29.700 not only was Mike Lawler fully bought and paid for
01:21:32.680 by this and Don Bacon and all these other guys,
01:21:35.840 fully bought and paid for
01:21:37.080 by the political industrial complex
01:21:39.460 that maintains the power structure in Washington
01:21:42.540 that is completely America last.
01:21:45.240 But the fact that they were the ones now 0.65
01:21:47.940 first on the list to go to the White House
01:21:50.440 and the ones being courted all the time,
01:21:52.400 that meant that that's when the president also became bought and paid for by the exact same
01:21:59.980 group of people, powerful people, powerful donor class, and the powerful industries. 0.91
01:22:07.020 So the reason Mike Lawler was unusual even in the Congress was he was such a slavish servant of 0.59
01:22:14.420 Israel from his very first public statements. Everything was about Israel. He comes from a 0.67
01:22:22.380 I didn't read a single solution to any of those problems 0.80
01:22:25.120 he was proposing, but it was always about Israel.
01:22:28.200 Would you say that the group that hated Trump
01:22:30.320 and then early in the term got invitations 0.77
01:22:33.500 to the White House, were they all servants of Israel? 0.66
01:22:37.280 Yeah, oh, 100%.
01:22:39.760 Are you kidding me?
01:22:42.000 Tucker, when I introduced an amendment to defund Israel
01:22:45.880 just last year, it hasn't even been a year yet,
01:22:48.940 only five other members of Congress,
01:22:52.840 five out of 435,
01:22:55.160 only five voted with me
01:22:57.620 to defund American taxpayer dollars
01:23:00.560 going to Israel.
01:23:02.860 So that's your count.
01:23:04.920 If you want to know
01:23:06.480 how many members of Congress
01:23:08.620 on both sides of the aisle
01:23:10.120 are completely beholden
01:23:11.700 to funding Israel, 0.56
01:23:13.900 no matter what they do, 0.77
01:23:15.080 no matter how much genocide they commit, 0.92
01:23:16.880 that no matter how many Lebanon Christian villages 0.80
01:23:20.360 they destroy, 0.93
01:23:21.900 no matter which country they decide to bomb 0.86
01:23:25.260 out of their madness and desire for destruction,
01:23:30.460 there's only, it was only five,
01:23:33.620 total six of us.
01:23:34.760 There were six of us, including myself.
01:23:37.100 That's your count.
01:23:38.380 I assume Massey was one of those.
01:23:40.740 Of course, Thomas Massey was one.
01:23:42.720 Of course, he's not bought and paid for,
01:23:45.080 which is why his race is the most important race
01:23:47.900 that has to be won. 0.73
01:23:49.360 None of the other ones really matter.
01:23:52.780 I don't want to get too sidetracked,
01:23:54.480 but since you mentioned his race,
01:23:56.960 where is that race now?
01:23:59.400 It is tightened.
01:24:01.760 He's still in the lead,
01:24:03.240 but it's definitely tightened.
01:24:04.880 I've seen different polling.
01:24:06.640 It's got him anywhere of approximately
01:24:08.920 five to seven points ahead of this guy
01:24:11.360 named Ed Galrin,
01:24:12.980 who, by the way,
01:24:13.740 Ed Galrin won't even show up to debate Thomas Massey.
01:24:18.720 Like that's one of, it's like campaign 101.
01:24:21.240 If you're running for Congress,
01:24:22.940 you should be able to show up to a debate in your district
01:24:27.080 in front of the people that you're wanting to vote for you.
01:24:31.200 And you should be able to show up in person
01:24:33.940 and stand in front of a microphone and a camera
01:24:36.560 against your opponent and address why
01:24:40.720 you will be a better representative
01:24:42.720 than the current representative, Thomas Massey.
01:24:46.240 And Ed Galbrain has not shown up to a single one.
01:24:49.840 As far as my knowledge, he hasn't shown up at all.
01:24:52.800 And by the way, he's completely funded 0.65
01:24:55.160 by three Zionist billionaires, 100% funded,
01:24:59.760 that have given tens of millions of dollars
01:25:01.960 and they don't even live in his district.
01:25:04.160 They couldn't relate to Kentucky,
01:25:06.060 that they only know about Tel Aviv.
01:25:07.780 It's the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen happen.
01:25:11.380 And Chris Lasavita is the guy that's running the race
01:25:15.240 because he, of course, Chris Lasavita,
01:25:18.380 who does he work for?
01:25:20.000 Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn,
01:25:22.800 some of the worst Republicans.
01:25:24.880 And he's doing everything he can, 0.99
01:25:26.960 aligning himself with these three Zionist billionaires 0.74
01:25:30.600 to defeat Thomas Massey.
01:25:33.900 Why, and who is Chris,
01:25:35.860 for people who don't follow this stuff,
01:25:37.220 who is Chris Lasavita?
01:25:38.860 Chris Lasavita is a big, fat political consultant
01:25:41.920 that is richer beyond his wildest dreams
01:25:45.520 and beyond your wildest dreams 0.99
01:25:47.020 because he sucks in donor money 0.98
01:25:49.640 so that he can put TV ads and mail, 0.98
01:25:53.880 so he can run campaigns, basically,
01:25:56.540 that elect the very people that you hate.
01:26:00.460 You absolutely hate the candidates that he supports,
01:26:03.780 like Lindsey Graham, like Ed Galrin.
01:26:06.660 He supports the candidates that are completely funded and controlled by the very political
01:26:14.060 Washington political establishment that we're talking about, that owns Mike Lawler, that
01:26:20.060 owns Don Bacon, that owns Maria Salazar, Carlos Jimenez, Mario Diaz-Balart.
01:26:27.160 The list goes on and on.
01:26:28.300 I guess apparently just bought Brian Jack with his vote to take away control of your
01:26:33.220 car that you pay for.
01:26:34.480 But that is exactly who Chris Lasavita works for.
01:26:39.060 Chris Lasavita also works for President Trump.
01:26:41.480 Chris Lasavita used to hate President Trump,
01:26:43.780 but he wiggled himself in there,
01:26:45.900 just slimed his way in.
01:26:50.200 And now he's frequently at the White House
01:26:53.220 practically every single day.
01:26:54.780 He ran the president's 2024 campaign
01:26:57.880 alongside Susie Wiles.
01:27:00.100 And he is the guy that's trying to beat Thomas Massey.
01:27:03.500 Yep.
01:27:05.400 So it does seem, just from an outside perspective,
01:27:09.060 it seems like the more you exhibit loyalty to Israel,
01:27:12.860 the closer you are to the White House political operation.
01:27:15.880 100%.
01:27:16.520 You, you, well, Tucker, I'm no longer in Congress
01:27:21.760 because I did not, I did not bow in obedience to AIPAC 0.99
01:27:26.880 and to the Zionists that control, 0.92
01:27:31.180 literally fully control Washington, D.C. 1.00
01:27:34.480 I wouldn't take any of their money.
01:27:37.760 I voted to defund American tax dollars going to Israel.
01:27:42.380 I voted to release the Epstein files, which is linked to Israel. 0.79
01:27:46.960 And so, yeah, you have a hard time existing or fighting for your political career if you aren't part of that. 0.51
01:27:55.100 As a gun owner, you know the dilemma.
01:27:57.140 You want to be prepared for break-ins or any moment where you might need a firearm, but you also need to keep those firearms secure.
01:28:03.760 out of the hands of kids, for example.
01:28:06.500 So for years, that meant choosing between a gun safe
01:28:08.980 that takes a long time to open,
01:28:10.940 pretty impossible in an emergency,
01:28:12.580 or leaving something accessible but unsafe,
01:28:14.860 and neither option is a good option.
01:28:16.900 And that's why we are thrilled to partner with Stopbox.
01:28:19.860 We're not exaggerating when we say
01:28:21.040 that using Stopbox changes everything.
01:28:23.840 Here's what makes it different.
01:28:25.080 The Stopbox Pro is completely mechanical.
01:28:28.000 No keys, no batteries.
01:28:29.240 It does not fail.
01:28:31.220 It's got five buttons designed for muscle memory.
01:28:34.800 This is one that we keep here in the studio.
01:28:36.720 You program your own code, practice it a couple of times, and your fingers remember it.
01:28:41.080 And that means you get immediate access to your firearm when you need it, and everyone
01:28:45.260 else can't get it.
01:28:47.240 And here's something else.
01:28:48.440 It is TSA compliant.
01:28:49.860 You can check your firearm safely and legally when you fly.
01:28:53.080 No drama at the airport.
01:28:54.560 Plus, it's made the United States.
01:28:55.980 No tariffs.
01:28:56.980 Real American jobs and quality you can trust, and that we do trust.
01:29:00.520 stop box offers a range of products designed to make for an array of needs take the new stop box

01:29:22.480 now if you purchase feel free to mention that you heard about it right here on the show what do you
01:29:27.720 So my understanding of Trump, and I talk to him a lot, as you have, was that, you know, Trump supported Israel in the same sense that I always supported Israel.
01:29:36.940 You always support Israel.
01:29:38.120 Like, yeah, Israel, it's great.
01:29:39.260 You know, I'm not against Israel.
01:29:40.640 It's not the thing I think about all day.
01:29:43.120 Not Josh Hammer or anything, but, like, I'm not against it.
01:29:46.580 And Trump seemed to have a kind of, I don't know, sensible view of Israel.
01:29:52.160 And then at a certain point in the last year and a half, everything became about Israel.
01:29:57.720 And that was the measure that Trump and his political team used to decide who was an ally
01:30:04.880 and who's an enemy.
01:30:06.280 When did that change?
01:30:07.880 Am I imagining this?
01:30:09.000 I mean, that's my perception of it anyway.
01:30:10.860 Tell me yours.
01:30:11.860 I agree with you.
01:30:13.040 It did change.
01:30:14.320 And just to be clear, we're talking about the secular government of Israel.
01:30:18.120 I'm talking about the government of Israel, exactly.
01:30:19.840 And the donors that fully fund it, not only fund anything that supports the secular government
01:30:26.980 of Israel, but they also do anything that funds the IDF and the wars that they fight.
01:30:33.220 So to be clear, that's what we're talking about. 0.73
01:30:35.600 Of course, we're not talking about Jewish people.
01:30:38.260 This isn't about anti-Semitism, but he did change over time.
01:30:42.560 And I'll be really clear.
01:30:46.400 This is something that has my own conclusion.
01:30:50.120 To become president of the United States, there's deals that have to be made.
01:30:55.580 Otherwise, you aren't allowed to have that power.
01:30:59.020 And you can go president by president throughout time,
01:31:03.040 and especially throughout our lifetimes.
01:31:05.400 And you can look at every single president
01:31:07.840 and look at their career and the decisions that they made.
01:31:10.860 And you can very quickly see that they made their deal
01:31:15.080 to support Israel at all times.
01:31:17.680 Why does the United States of America do that
01:31:19.700 for one foreign country?
01:31:21.860 It makes absolutely no sense. 0.99
01:31:25.040 We don't do that for any other foreign country. 0.95
01:31:28.240 No other government on earth
01:31:30.000 does every single United States president,
01:31:33.200 the vast majority of members of Congress
01:31:36.080 completely pledge their allegiance.
01:31:39.160 Governors too, we have to include governors
01:31:41.040 and state elected officials.
01:31:43.640 They pledge their complete allegiance
01:31:46.200 to the government of Israel
01:31:49.180 and their purpose and their protection
01:31:51.340 and whatever endeavor they decide to pursue,
01:31:56.140 whether it's right or wrong,
01:31:57.960 whether it helps America or even if it hurts America,
01:32:01.800 they still pledge their full allegiance.
01:32:04.280 They make that deal.
01:32:06.660 And Tucker, I don't care what anybody thinks about me,
01:32:09.720 but I believe that Trump had to make a deal like this
01:32:14.220 in order to become president.
01:32:17.320 And that's why people see the drastic change in him.
01:32:21.340 Now, he was beholden to a lot of the establishment, Washington Industries and their donors in his
01:32:30.020 first administration.
01:32:31.020 That happened.
01:32:32.300 We can look at COVID and the response, shutting down the entire country to slow the spread
01:32:39.060 of a virus was absolutely serving that gigantic machine.
01:32:45.260 It wasn't for the American people.
01:32:46.980 That did not help Americans.
01:32:48.600 It did not help American small business owners.
01:32:50.680 It hurt us, it hurt children's education.
01:32:53.560 I mean, that's a whole nother subject, but he did that.
01:32:56.800 Trump did that in his first term.
01:32:59.200 However, this term, we've watched him drastically change literally from the first quarter of 0.95
01:33:05.240 his presidency to being completely, basically held captive in servitude to whatever Bibi
01:33:13.840 Netanyahu demands of him.
01:33:15.360 That's fighting wars, that's creating policy that benefits Israel, and that is even to
01:33:23.220 the point of defeating a House Republican that votes with him over 90% of the time,
01:33:29.500 defeating Thomas Massey because those giant billionaire Israel donors say it has to happen.
01:33:36.780 And it's, I don't know how that, I don't know how and why, and I don't know how you
01:33:43.360 change that. And I don't know how this came to be, but I think it happened over decades.
01:33:49.100 And it's a much bigger problem than people realize. It's not anti-Semitic for us to talk
01:33:55.380 about it. It doesn't mean that we're against Jewish people, not at all. We love all people.
01:34:00.140 We're Christians. We're commanded to love all people. But our government, the United States
01:34:06.760 of America, should be serving the American people and the American people's interest,
01:34:11.700 first and foremost, at all times, 100%, and should not be easily dragged off into bombing
01:34:20.780 Iran or paying to fund all types of military equipment and weapons to perform genocide
01:34:31.620 on Gaza or Christians in Lebanon and villages in Lebanon and taking their land. 0.65
01:34:37.920 The hypocrisy of it is beyond, it's unspeakable.
01:34:43.440 The King of England, King Charles, spoke to Congress this week
01:34:46.880 and literally demanded that the United States of America go to war with Russia
01:34:52.740 because Russia invaded Ukraine, which is absurd.
01:34:56.800 Yet no one is demanding the United States stop supporting Israel
01:35:01.900 as they have literally and are at this moment doing the same thing to Lebanon.
01:35:07.380 And it's not anti-Semitic to say,
01:35:10.600 why is that happening?
01:35:11.700 This shouldn't be happening.
01:35:12.840 Why the hypocrisy?
01:35:15.940 Masses about members of Congress
01:35:17.620 stood up and applauded King Charles
01:35:19.580 when he demanded that.
01:35:21.780 And I myself watched that
01:35:23.740 and I said, well, I know,
01:35:24.960 I know for a fact,
01:35:25.900 because I've been there,
01:35:27.300 I know the thing said in speeches
01:35:29.540 to Congress publicly,
01:35:31.020 because that's what that foreign leader
01:35:33.020 is asking of Congress.
01:35:34.840 Those same conversations happen privately at the White House.
01:35:39.700 And it would be really naive for anyone to think that King Charles is not talking to
01:35:45.340 Donald Trump about going to war with Russia because of the Ukraine-Russia war.
01:35:50.680 And that concerns me.
01:35:54.880 It's just interesting that you think of donors to the Republican Party and Democratic Party,
01:36:02.100 I should say, who are pretty single-mindedly focused on the fortunes of Israel and they
01:36:07.280 want foreign aid, they want a defense guarantee, they want the United States military to protect
01:36:13.300 Israel as it continues its expansion in the Middle East, et cetera, et cetera. 0.99
01:36:17.520 And that's all true.
01:36:18.920 But that same set of donors, and this is the part that does confuse me, is also the group
01:36:25.540 that forced the Biden administration to fund the Ukraine war that has prevented this
01:36:31.560 administration from ending or really even working to end the ukraine war this is also the very same
01:36:36.040 group that has pushed open borders and has convinced the president to change his long-standing
01:36:41.800 and often stated view on immigration so he got elected in 2016 promising to build a wall never
01:36:47.060 really well didn't build a wall didn't really try very hard to build a wall and now is saying well
01:36:52.260 actually i'm not going to deport a lot of people we're going to make them citizens yep we're going
01:36:57.520 to we're going to start the process of you know immigration reform or whatever phrase they're
01:37:03.680 using but trump is now pro-immigration which is an amazing change once again at the behest of
01:37:11.480 these donors these are the same people who have pushed open borders in europe who've abetted the
01:37:16.800 refugee migration from syria and africa into western europe and then complained about it
01:37:22.060 Like, why is that? 0.91
01:37:25.040 Like, why would people who support Israel 0.65
01:37:27.960 also be for changing the demographic mix
01:37:30.940 of the United States?
01:37:31.800 That doesn't make sense. 1.00
01:37:33.860 Well, it's true.
01:37:34.600 It is true.
01:37:35.700 And it's happened for many years now.
01:37:39.640 Our demographics have been drastically changing.
01:37:42.220 That happens through our border,
01:37:44.180 through open border policies of administrations
01:37:46.740 and administrations that refuse to enforce our laws.
01:37:50.060 We have laws.
01:37:50.880 people can be deported. It's just the fact that they haven't fully supported them and enforced
01:37:55.860 those laws. So there's absolutely no reason, for example, for approximately 10 or 11 Republicans
01:38:03.260 to vote with the Democrats to pass a bill. This happened just this month to extend the
01:38:11.160 temporary protection status of 350,000 Haitians. Now you have to ask yourself, like, I think people
01:38:19.100 that watch Fox News all day will go, oh, those typical bad old rhinos, and they'll be mad and 0.97
01:38:25.840 go, why did they do that? But what really happens behind the scenes is these powerful lobbies and
01:38:33.060 these powerful groups who are basically businesses that run off of government contracts, they run
01:38:40.020 off of grants they receive, they run off the, you can call open borders an industry. It is a huge,
01:38:47.180 powerful industry. It's an industry of all types of charities and nonprofits and NGOs that are
01:38:54.220 everything from people that give someone that comes across the border a backpack or say like
01:39:00.180 Haitians that have to be protected here in America and are allowed to live here and work for free,
01:39:08.960 even though they're not citizens, but they're protected. This is an entire industry. It's
01:39:15.120 It's people that serve all of that in every capacity, even lawyers, American lawyers that
01:39:21.180 help these people through the so-called immigration process or really to stay in America against
01:39:26.640 our laws. 0.88
01:39:27.560 Now, why is that happening?
01:39:29.900 I think it's a very, I think the answer is really dark.
01:39:34.100 It weakens our country.
01:39:36.320 Anytime you change the demographics of a country, you drastically change the people there, which
01:39:42.880 radically changes the views of the people because you have such a vast variety of all types of
01:39:49.480 people with all types of belief systems and all types of opinions. Now, when you fill a country
01:39:55.620 with millions of people that are dependent on the government because the government let them in,
01:40:01.280 they weren't born here, they came across the border and then they may have been protected
01:40:05.980 like dreamers, like Obama protected the dreamers, or you say the Haitians, 350,000 of them,
01:40:12.360 that, I couldn't believe it,
01:40:15.920 Rich McCormick, another Republican member of Congress
01:40:19.040 who is from my state, who I personally know,
01:40:22.380 voted to protect 350,000 Haitians.
01:40:26.000 It doesn't make sense.
01:40:27.240 Like, why would he do that?
01:40:28.800 But they do it to weaken our country
01:40:31.040 because when you weaken the country,
01:40:34.120 you weaken the people
01:40:35.500 and you weaken the voting, basically the votes,
01:40:40.620 because eventually these people get status
01:40:42.600 and eventually they become voters as well.
01:40:45.120 Then you change the trajectory of the country
01:40:48.780 and you also change the focus of the government.
01:40:54.220 So let's take, there's members of Congress
01:40:56.860 that have dual citizenships.
01:40:59.760 They are there for the interest of the country
01:41:03.760 they came from.
01:41:04.980 They are there serving a foreign group of people
01:41:10.540 that is in their district 0.97
01:41:12.380 and they are beholden to them.
01:41:14.820 And that means that they are not voting
01:41:17.040 for who would be original American citizens,
01:41:20.400 which I think is a problem. 0.56
01:41:23.180 And I don't, it's very hard to change,
01:41:26.300 but it's, I don't know how we got here, Tucker.
01:41:30.260 It's just, it's obviously very deep,
01:41:33.980 whatever's happening,
01:41:34.880 because it doesn't on the surface make any sense.
01:41:37.320 So here you have people like Mike Lawler or Don Bacon, and there are a bunch of them, as you know, who are wholly focused on preserving the state of Israel as an ethnostate, as a state in which citizenship is really determined by your ethnicity.
01:41:55.940 Okay, I'm kind of agnostic on that. 0.76
01:41:57.840 It's not my country.
01:41:58.860 But they're very focused on that. 0.99
01:42:00.760 Israel has a right to exist as an ethnostate. 0.91
01:42:03.380 And at the same time, their greatest fear in the United States is that the U.S. will be an ethnostate, and so we need to prevent that by changing the demographic mix. 0.96
01:42:13.780 Right.
01:42:14.180 That doesn't make any sense at all.
01:42:16.960 Like, that just doesn't, tell me what that adds up to, but it's very obvious, as you watch, that those are their twin priorities. 0.88
01:42:24.800 Preserve Israel as an ethnostate, prevent the United States from being an ethnostate. 0.89
01:42:29.120 What are we watching? 0.95
01:42:30.740 I don't know.
01:42:31.560 I just looked at the list of the Republicans that voted to protect Haitians.
01:42:37.080 And so it's pretty interesting to me.
01:42:39.280 It's Patrick Lawler, Bacon, Maria Salazar, Carlos Jimenez, Nicole Malliotakis, Rich
01:42:45.760 McCormick, Mike Turner, who's not running for Congress again, Mike Carey, and Mario
01:42:51.680 Diaz-Balart.
01:42:52.640 There's several names on there, Salazar, Jimenez, Diaz-Balart, that fight the hardest for anyone
01:43:01.440 that's come across the border.
01:43:03.000 I mean, they literally want to just make them citizens,
01:43:07.460 just give it to them for free. 1.00
01:43:09.300 Maria Salazar has a bill that she's trying to do that.
01:43:12.200 But ironically, that same group,
01:43:14.640 the same group that I just read
01:43:16.500 is also completely, completely,
01:43:21.240 and we need to add more in there.
01:43:22.860 I think the bigger list is the 57 Republicans
01:43:25.700 that voted no on stopping the government
01:43:29.600 from controlling your car.
01:43:30.900 I think that's the more expanded list.
01:43:33.240 You could expand it even bigger than that.
01:43:35.740 Those are the Republicans that will vote for Israel to have anything and everything.
01:43:40.700 Like they fully agree with Lindsey Graham when he's melting down on television about
01:43:45.840 we have to give money to Israel.
01:43:49.500 I mean, when Levin is demanding that we use nuclear bombs on Iran, many of these same
01:43:57.540 House Republicans would support that.
01:43:59.920 I don't know what that is, Tucker,
01:44:01.740 and I don't know why it's that way.
01:44:04.860 I think there's been a brainwashing
01:44:06.960 that's happened in this country,
01:44:08.240 and it's happened a lot through evangelical churches.
01:44:11.500 It's happened a lot through just a lot of churches, honestly.
01:44:14.820 And the message has been told to the American people
01:44:18.340 over and over and over and over again
01:44:20.000 that we have to support Israel at all costs, 0.89
01:44:22.580 at all times, no matter what. 0.86
01:44:24.260 And there's, you know, tragic events that have helped shaped many Americans' views to support that, such as 9-11 and such as other horrific terrorist incidences here in America, but also what we've been fed on the television of suicide bombers in Israel and so forth.
01:44:47.180 They don't ever show the other side of what happened, but they show that nonstop.
01:44:51.600 Now, so that has hardened many Americans to believe that America has to support Israel
01:44:57.820 at all costs, no matter what.
01:45:00.260 They use the verse in Genesis, use that against Americans, Christian or not, to believe that
01:45:07.620 if you don't bless Israel, then you're going to be cursed by God.
01:45:10.820 And that's absolutely not true.
01:45:12.260 And you've talked about that a lot, thankfully, as well as others did.
01:45:16.240 But it has been a basically propaganda and messaging
01:45:23.160 that has been told to Americans for so long.
01:45:25.980 And the baby boomers who we love,
01:45:28.340 that's our parents' generation. 1.00
01:45:30.480 And not all of them,
01:45:31.760 there's some really good baby boomers,
01:45:33.280 but the baby boomer generation as a whole
01:45:35.260 are the ones that have embraced it the most
01:45:37.340 on Republican and the Democrat side.
01:45:40.080 Both sides fully support supporting Israel. 0.90
01:45:44.320 Give them all your money. 0.86
01:45:45.300 You know, the best way we can help our grandchildren's future, they may be broke and can't have a job and can't afford health insurance and can't afford to do anything in life.
01:45:55.900 And AI will totally replace their future jobs.
01:45:59.360 But you know what? 0.95
01:46:00.320 We got to stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon. 0.59
01:46:03.240 And it's been that propaganda that has not only basically wrangled in these members of Congress and other elected officials that are fully supported by that lobby and the massive donor list that comes with it.
01:46:25.140 It's huge.
01:46:25.880 You have no idea how big it is.
01:46:27.540 Jews and Christians.
01:46:28.620 It's the AIPAC umbrella, but it's much bigger than AIPAC itself.
01:46:33.240 Lots of donors that, hey, we'll write you a check and say,
01:46:36.900 you just make sure that you take care of Israel.
01:46:39.400 And so they are wrapped in and beholden by that money. 0.60
01:46:42.420 And it's supported by Americans who have been brainwashed to believe that
01:46:46.040 that's exactly what America has to do.
01:46:48.000 But nobody ever talks about, Tucker,
01:46:50.120 nobody ever talks about the fact that Israel has nuclear weapons.
01:46:55.340 Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons. 0.63
01:46:58.420 Like who's really going to mess with Israel at the end of the day?
01:47:02.340 They have nuclear weapons.
01:47:03.760 It's just like, do you ever see anybody freaking out
01:47:05.720 about Kim Jong-un anymore in North Korea?
01:47:08.220 No.
01:47:08.500 No, because he has nuclear weapons. 0.89
01:47:11.220 So what a lie it is that we really have to support Israel.
01:47:15.480 I have for years noticed that there are people
01:47:17.880 who truly love Israel.
01:47:19.580 It's never bothered me.
01:47:21.180 People love, I don't know, model trains or kite surfing
01:47:24.160 or whatever.
01:47:24.680 People love a lot of things.
01:47:26.000 I don't feel threatened by it.
01:47:27.480 You're allowed to love whatever you want
01:47:28.700 as far as I'm concerned.
01:47:29.660 In the case of loving Israel, however, for American leaders, some Jewish, mostly not Jewish, it's the same principle. It seems like that love for Israel is accompanied by contempt for the United States, maybe even hatred for the United States. 0.67
01:47:46.360 what is it? Maybe it's impossible to serve two masters. Maybe you will always wind up hating 0.55
01:47:51.260 one of them. Maybe that's a biblical principle. Maybe that's true. I really don't know the answer.
01:47:56.400 But among that group that we're talking about and that you served with,
01:48:00.800 did you ever have conversations offline where they said, you know, we've got to do something
01:48:05.160 about, I don't know, health insurance prices or opioid ODs or, I don't know, the elimination of
01:48:13.420 our kids' employment future by AI
01:48:16.360 or any of the truly pressing,
01:48:18.860 in fact, ominous problems
01:48:20.320 this country faces.
01:48:21.660 Did they ever talk about that stuff
01:48:23.140 in private?
01:48:26.820 Most, I just laugh.
01:48:29.100 Most Republicans,
01:48:30.740 if they had a bill
01:48:31.600 they were trying to get me
01:48:32.500 to co-sponsor,
01:48:33.640 it's kind of,
01:48:34.380 it's such a circus
01:48:35.620 on the House floor.
01:48:37.060 So when we're at votes
01:48:38.760 and we're spending a lot of time
01:48:40.000 on the House floor
01:48:40.740 and you're in there
01:48:41.940 and it's everybody in there together,
01:48:43.260 Republicans and Democrats and everyone's sitting in the brown leather chairs that I don't know how
01:48:47.960 those chairs are. And we're voting with our little voting cards and the little machine with the green
01:48:52.660 yes and the red no and the yellow present. You're sitting there and there's a lot of
01:48:57.900 commingling going on. That's where if you're not in a meeting once a week, that's kind of where
01:49:04.020 you see everybody. So different Republicans and members will go around with a card and they're
01:49:10.580 asking for people to co-sponsor their bill that may be supporting. It's usually something that
01:49:18.140 helps the medical industry or the pharmaceutical industry, or it's maybe something very district
01:49:26.400 specific. Sometimes that will be something they're working on. But did I ever see anybody going
01:49:33.680 around like really fighting hard to focus on direct American issues.
01:49:40.120 No, a lot of times not.
01:49:42.680 A lot of times it was, hey, we're going to have a resolution this week denouncing anti-Semitism
01:49:47.860 because there were protests on college campuses, because college kids were saying there was
01:49:54.240 genocide in Gaza.
01:49:56.500 You know, they would be asking for support to get some bill passed through that would
01:50:01.440 provide funding for some big company
01:50:04.000 that is in their district
01:50:05.940 or has been lobbying Washington
01:50:08.040 because whatever provision is in the next defense budget
01:50:13.800 will really help them. 0.92
01:50:15.560 Ridiculous things like that. 0.94
01:50:16.880 No, Tucker, it wasn't. 0.98
01:50:18.520 It's something interesting.
01:50:19.240 I came across this one too.
01:50:20.600 I wanted to tell you,
01:50:22.740 here's how America lasts.
01:50:25.760 It has been, it really is.
01:50:29.520 So they renamed, remember,
01:50:31.440 Trump came in and they renamed the Department of Defense to the Department of War. That has cost,
01:50:38.380 the Pentagon has estimated that it's cost approximately $52 million just to rename
01:50:44.840 the Department of Defense to the Department of War. That's the kind of stuff that a lot of
01:50:49.080 Republicans will come around and say, hey, we got to get behind the team and get this done.
01:50:55.060 but do they ever come in?
01:50:57.200 And I had a hard time.
01:51:00.020 I had a bill and it passed,
01:51:01.980 Protect Children's Innocence Act.
01:51:03.780 It was the one bill that I pushed so hard with everyone.
01:51:08.620 And Protect Children's Innocence Act 1.00
01:51:10.480 makes it a felony to perform transgender surgeries 0.59
01:51:15.840 and hormone blockers and all kinds of drugs on children. 0.99
01:51:21.160 It's not adults.
01:51:21.920 It's not some sick man that wants to get a boob job. 0.89
01:51:24.120 We're talking about kids.
01:51:26.060 And I constantly would go around and ask for their support.
01:51:29.760 Well, I have to tell this story
01:51:31.320 because it just has to be told.
01:51:33.300 My last vote in Congress,
01:51:35.420 literally my last vote on the House floor
01:51:37.080 December 17th was my own bill.
01:51:40.000 It finally, I had to fight with everybody
01:51:42.240 to get that bill to the floor.
01:51:44.040 I mean, I threatened, I withheld votes on funding.
01:51:47.220 I fought them all and it finally got there.
01:51:49.760 And to my complete shock, four Republicans voted no.
01:51:57.960 Four.
01:51:59.060 And that was Brian Fitzpatrick, Mike Lawler, Mike Kennedy, and Gabe Evans. 0.51
01:52:06.060 So Mike Lawler voted no to my bill because he wants your kids to be trans, basically. 0.92
01:52:14.360 It's totally fine with him if your child goes to a school where a teacher indoctrinates them.
01:52:18.880 It's totally fine with him if they get indoctrinated on the internet and they get brainwashed and confused and maybe live in California or some other blue state where they can go to a doctor and basically a teenage girl could end up getting a mastectomy.
01:52:33.920 Michael Lawler is totally fine with that.
01:52:35.300 He voted no.
01:52:36.320 My bill simply made it a felony to do that to children.
01:52:39.420 He voted no to that and so did three other Republicans.
01:52:41.860 The craziest thing happened, Tucker, this was the miracle I witnessed because God...
01:52:48.880 performs miracles. And this is why I believe, even though nothing makes sense right now,
01:52:56.020 I believe in my heart, I have full faith in God, that God can change it if we are willing to fight
01:53:01.560 for it. My bill passed. My bill passed in the House because God moved three Democrats to vote
01:53:11.160 for it. Four Republicans voted against it, even though the entire Republican Party
01:53:16.940 campaigned on stopping the trans agenda on children, and it was supported by 70% of Americans. 0.57
01:53:23.160 When God knew those four Republicans were voting no, God moved three Democrats to vote for it,
01:53:31.740 and my bill passed the House floor. Protect Children's Innocence Act was also sponsored
01:53:37.760 by our great Vice President J.D. Vance when he was a senator. He was the original sponsor of that
01:53:45.180 bill in the Senate. He is now the leader of the Senate. So I can tell you that right now,
01:53:52.380 Republicans have the full capability of passing that bill in the Senate, and President Trump
01:53:59.000 would sign it into law because it's a direct reflection on his own executive order. And
01:54:05.540 soon, the leader in the Senate has my bill, Protect Children's Innocence Act, that makes it a felony
01:54:12.560 to trans a kid is sitting on a shelf in the Senate
01:54:15.960 and our vice president hasn't gone in there
01:54:18.660 and fought with him to,
01:54:20.520 hey, let's get this to the floor for a vote. 1.00
01:54:22.700 Let's whip our senators 1.00
01:54:23.960 because this was a campaign promise in 2024.
01:54:27.700 You see, when people refuse,
01:54:29.600 when good men refuse to do,
01:54:32.460 when they do nothing,
01:54:34.080 that's when evil prevails.
01:54:35.520 And that is literally where we are.
01:54:37.940 We're at a point in history
01:54:39.180 where all types of evil is prevailing.
01:54:42.560 nothing makes sense. Those that are the worst people are the most powerful people right now.
01:54:49.380 Those that are committing crimes and corruption are making all the money right now. And it's
01:54:54.940 because we have a completely feckless Republican Party that is 100% owned and sold out to a foreign
01:55:02.960 country and a foreign country's lobby and a foreign country's donors. And that is why
01:55:09.820 Everything insane is happening.
01:55:12.320 That's why nothing makes sense.
01:55:15.040 It would be interesting to know
01:55:16.400 why it's so important to Paul Singer 0.90
01:55:18.600 that we continue to neuter children.
01:55:22.020 I don't know the answer.
01:55:23.740 It clearly is so important
01:55:25.040 that he and donors like him
01:55:27.320 are preventing this from being banned.
01:55:30.300 I mean, it's insane.
01:55:32.380 Okay, so you painted a pretty grim,
01:55:34.760 very grim picture of the state of Washington right now and how far the concerns of lawmakers
01:55:43.000 and the executive are from voters. I don't, it doesn't feel like this can continue indefinitely
01:55:49.840 because it's just, it's too screwed up and it feels like it's radicalizing people in a way
01:55:55.700 that's scary. So what is the solution? Where does it go from the midterms this fall to 2028? What
01:56:05.560 what happens that makes this system more representative, slightly more representative
01:56:10.840 of the public, do you think? Well, I think that's a great question and we can break it down. I was
01:56:16.760 told, reliably told by one of the most well-known pollsters in Washington, D.C., that Republicans
01:56:24.360 are expecting to lose anywhere between 20 and 40 seats in the House. And yeah, and I say rightfully 0.90
01:56:31.600 so, they deserve it. They 100% deserve it. They definitely deserve it. Does the public deserve it?
01:56:37.180 I don't know, but that party definitely deserves it. Yeah, for sure. 0.91
01:56:41.100 So let's look at the current situation. The Democrats completely, completely destroyed so
01:56:46.160 many things. And America basically gave them a very strong message in November of 2024,
01:56:53.260 that they refused to support wokeness, DEI,
01:56:58.120 the Green New Deal, the trans agenda. 0.99
01:57:00.820 They found all of that disgusting. 0.92
01:57:03.280 The American people were sick of censorship.
01:57:05.700 So many people had been kicked off social media
01:57:07.700 because the Biden administration had pushed that.
01:57:10.800 The American people, one of their loudest message
01:57:12.700 was no more foreign wars.
01:57:14.020 It was so simple.
01:57:15.700 So let's look at what the current system we have.
01:57:19.440 The failures of the Democrat and Republican Party
01:57:22.120 is why people like me supported Donald Trump.
01:57:26.200 Total and utter failures of both parties. 1.00
01:57:30.080 They're both disgusting and repulsive. 0.99
01:57:32.620 They function as one weird uniparty in so many ways, 0.99
01:57:36.800 but at the same time,
01:57:37.940 the things both parties represent through their actions,
01:57:41.400 I'm not saying what they say on the campaign trail,
01:57:43.380 through their actual actions, their vote, 0.83
01:57:45.840 the legislation and the things they fund are disgusting.
01:57:49.200 and they don't represent America at all, either party.
01:57:53.560 It shocked me that Democrats after losing so badly in 2024
01:57:58.220 that their entire party didn't go into a room
01:58:01.520 and really have a serious talk amongst themselves
01:58:05.200 and go, we've got to change our ways.
01:58:07.280 We've got to change some of our serious policies.
01:58:11.480 We need to, you know, things they need to back off of.
01:58:13.780 They should have learned their lesson on their failures,
01:58:16.460 but they didn't.
01:58:17.560 They changed nothing.
01:58:19.140 And so now they're expecting to win the midterms
01:58:22.160 basically on Trump derangement syndrome,
01:58:25.040 which is the same thing
01:58:26.200 that they have been campaigning on for years.
01:58:28.440 They're also planning to win the midterms 0.99
01:58:30.280 based on the pathetic, utter failures 0.99
01:58:32.680 of the Republican Party. 0.99
01:58:34.180 But because the Republican Party 1.00
01:58:35.660 is just as gross and disgusting as the Democrat Party. 1.00
01:58:39.760 Look at the Republican Party. 1.00
01:58:40.920 They learned nothing, Tucker.
01:58:43.960 We gave them the strongest message that can be sent.
01:58:46.780 It was a mandate in 2024.
01:58:49.700 The mandate was no more foreign wars 0.57
01:58:51.540 and put Americans first.
01:58:54.540 And the Republican Party did nothing.
01:58:56.800 What they did is they came in
01:58:58.160 and they used the same system
01:58:59.840 that swings like a pendulum back and forth
01:59:02.140 between whoever's in charge.
01:59:03.820 And they brought that big, powerful lobby
01:59:06.240 and their donors and their industries.
01:59:08.180 And they basically swallowed Donald Trump whole
01:59:11.040 and made sure that he was completely owned 0.62
01:59:14.160 and controlled by the government of Israel
01:59:16.820 and whatever war they want to fight.
01:59:19.380 So where does that leave us going forward?
01:59:21.940 My hopes is when I resigned from Congress,
01:59:24.700 I wanted the American people to understand something
01:59:27.520 that me leaving doesn't leave them in any worse position.
01:59:32.840 They are already in the worst position.
01:59:36.040 Me leaving doesn't mean
01:59:37.180 that no one's there fighting for them.
01:59:39.240 It means that even when I was there
01:59:41.820 fighting as hard as I possibly could,
01:59:44.160 I could stop nothing,
01:59:45.860 but it's really up to the American people to change it.
01:59:48.940 Now, here's where the American people have a job to do.
01:59:52.500 It's the American people that keep reelecting
01:59:55.260 the Lindsey Grahams and the Mike Lawlers 0.99
01:59:57.080 and all the disgusting people 0.98
01:59:58.340 that most Republican voters say they hate, 0.99
02:00:01.360 but yet somehow they keep voting for them.
02:00:04.220 I think they should change that.
02:00:06.000 Another thing is, look, I don't want Democrats to win
02:00:09.500 because I don't support their policies either,
02:00:11.640 but why am I afraid of Republicans losing?
02:00:14.160 I'm not.
02:00:15.000 I resign from Congress because I refuse to be a part of
02:00:18.920 and I refuse to support a party
02:00:21.760 that lied to the American people
02:00:23.740 and is completely selling them out.
02:00:26.400 And I think that's what American voters
02:00:28.660 really need to take in.
02:00:31.200 You know, there's a way to take back control
02:00:33.740 and it comes from forming a powerful alliance of Americans
02:00:38.720 that will only support candidates
02:00:41.160 that are small dollar campaigns.
02:00:44.160 Candidates that absolutely refuse to take any money from AIPAC, from the military industrial
02:00:50.420 complex, big pharma, the big industries and the big donors, the big nasty donors and the
02:00:57.220 big nasty political consultants that continue the America last policies that we all are
02:01:04.000 living in and we hate.
02:01:05.900 The American people can elect people that will represent them when those representatives
02:01:12.480 are only funded by the people that vote for them.
02:01:16.800 That's the only way to get there.
02:01:18.500 It is the only way going forward
02:01:20.400 because whoever holds the purse strings
02:01:22.960 holds the power over these elected officials.
02:01:27.940 So do you think that can be done
02:01:30.100 within the current structure
02:01:31.260 or do you think this calls for a third party?
02:01:35.380 Or a fourth party?
02:01:36.060 I think it has to be weighed.
02:01:39.820 I've been looking at the numbers.
02:01:41.420 independents in America are bigger than the Democrat Party and the Republican Party.
02:01:48.060 Independents are oftentimes over 40 percent. And if independents were to come together on a core
02:01:56.120 group of policy issues and candidates that they could fully support, then you could defeat
02:02:01.760 Democrat and Republican candidates. It would be very hard, but it is possible. I think it's
02:02:08.860 largely dependent on several things, Tucker. It's the millennials, many of the millennials,
02:02:16.100 and it's Gen Z. It's if the younger generations truly rise up and decide to get politically
02:02:23.080 active, they could fully take over and take the power away from the baby boomer generation. 0.86
02:02:29.880 The baby boomer generation is the generation that supports the current political industrial 0.79
02:02:35.720 complex. They support it fully, Democrat and Republican. They're the ones that vote the most,
02:02:41.700 they're the ones that donate the most, and they're the ones that remain glued to the television,
02:02:46.740 to the propaganda news that they're fed every single day from the left and the right.
02:02:51.740 However, I fully believe that it's the younger generations that can make the difference.
02:02:56.880 And educating them, harnessing their power, and helping them understand that it's they
02:03:02.560 who can take over and take control,
02:03:05.180 then I think this country can be saved. 1.00
02:03:08.300 And I'll say one more thing about the baby boomers. 1.00
02:03:11.440 And I really attack the baby boomers a lot 1.00
02:03:14.740 because I am angry about many of the things 1.00
02:03:17.540 their generation has supported and done. 1.00
02:03:19.760 I'm fully disgusted at baby boomers 1.00
02:03:22.500 that hold onto power in Congress and in the Senate 1.00
02:03:25.800 and many elected positions.
02:03:27.600 Even our current president falls in that category.
02:03:30.000 he'll probably never want to leave the White House.
02:03:33.860 And I'm sure me saying that will make headlines. 1.00
02:03:36.400 However, I think those baby boomers are the most dangerous 1.00
02:03:39.700 and they're completely responsible 1.00
02:03:42.020 for our nearly $40 trillion in debt.
02:03:45.160 The fact that social security will be completely insolvent
02:03:48.760 in just six to seven years.
02:03:50.640 And the very fact that young Americans have it much harder
02:03:54.880 because our dollar is so weak.
02:03:56.880 tragically, it may require the baby boomer generation passing away before Gen Z and even
02:04:05.380 millennials can fully get involved and work hard to take it back. But I don't think it's impossible 0.76
02:04:12.320 because I'll go back and just finish with this. Like I told you, I witnessed a miracle on the
02:04:19.040 House floor on my very last vote when my bill, Protect Children's Innocence, passed to make it 0.98
02:04:26.020 a felony to trans children. Four Republicans voted no and three Democrats voted yes. And that passed
02:04:34.200 that bill. And I never thought that bill was going to pass. They told me, everyone told me it was
02:04:39.060 impossible. Everybody, literally every single Republican told me, Marjorie, this bill will
02:04:44.800 never pass. But it did, Tucker. And I believe it was truly God. I felt it. I know it in my heart.
02:04:52.400 and I watched it happen.
02:04:54.200 I was there.
02:04:55.060 It literally was a miracle.
02:04:57.780 So in saying that, I'll say this, Tucker.
02:05:00.820 I believe good Americans
02:05:03.180 through no hate in their heart whatsoever
02:05:06.360 who have their full faith in God,
02:05:09.120 they can actually take back this country,
02:05:12.060 but you can't be complacent.
02:05:13.740 You can't sit on the sidelines
02:05:15.100 and you truly honestly have to have courage to get involved.
02:05:22.400 Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.
02:05:24.720 Thank you very much for that.
02:05:26.340 Thank you.
02:05:27.580 And thank you.
02:05:28.680 We'll see you next Wednesday.
