No sooner has a temporary peace been declared in the Middle East, than America has not one but two leaked text scandals to chew over. Now, almost no matter what is in the leaked text, a leaked text scandal is a fun scandal because it's inherently salacious. People text under the false presumption that what they're writing is private, and so they relax, unguarded. And very often, however, they're wrong. And what you learn when you read them is what people are saying and presumably thinking in private.
00:00:30.000And what you learn when you read them is what people are saying and presumably thinking in private.
00:00:35.180So it's kind of a window into a person's private life.
00:00:37.640It's very much like a sex tape, and it's irresistible.
00:00:41.340Everybody loves a leaked text scandal.
00:00:45.480What's interesting, really, is are they meaningful?
00:00:50.640Does it actually tell you something about the person who's texting?
00:00:53.780Well, that all depends on the context.
00:00:55.080There are plenty of things you text throughout the course of a day if you're an average American that really don't reflect a lot about who you really are or what you really think, much less what you intend to do.
00:01:26.000Again, context really matters, and leaked texts can be grossly unfair and misleading to the person from whom they're leaked because they don't actually reveal the character of the texter.
00:01:39.800And moreover, by the way, who wants to be reduced to his ugliest text?
00:01:44.240But they're still interesting, and they can reveal a lot about the people who sent them.
00:01:48.980So let's go in order through the details of the two leaked text scandals now roiling this country because not simply the text but the response to the text tells you a lot about the state of American politics and particularly about the differences between the two major parties in how they responded.
00:02:08.060So first up, the Republican scandal, and it comes to us from Telegram, which is a supposedly pretty secure texting app, and we're going to read some of them.
00:02:18.540So these kids were texting to each other.
00:02:20.720These are young Republicans texting each other on a group chat on Telegram.
00:02:25.300This somehow wound up on Politico, and they are saying things like this.
00:02:29.900They're referring to African-Americans as, quote, the watermelon people.
00:02:33.340Here's someone else saying that, and we're quoting, everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.
00:02:39.480And finally, someone on the group text called someone, and I'm quoting now, retarded.
00:02:44.520So these are young Republicans from across the country texting each other.
00:03:10.920Well, let's check in with some of the guardians of public morals on the Republican side.
00:03:16.000First up, this is a statement from the Young Republicans, National Young Republican Board of Directors.
00:03:22.640And we have no idea who these people are, but you can imagine affluent, unmarried gentlemen shepherding these young Republicans through their political growth.
00:03:30.620I'm not saying they need FBI background checks, but you can just sort of imagine in your mind who these guys are.
00:03:59.100And it stands in direct opposition to the values our movement represents.
00:04:05.600Bracket values that are not in any way articulated by the Board of the Young Republicans.
00:04:09.000But whatever, they stand against those values.
00:04:11.140Those involved must immediately resign from all positions within their state and local young Republican organizations.
00:04:17.100We must hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, respect, and professionalism.
00:04:23.720Well, it's an unequivocal statement of disgust.
00:04:27.400Next up, this is Congressman Mike Lawler.
00:04:30.540Seems like a nice enough guy from New York.
00:04:33.280He's a young man whose donors were very offended by this.
00:04:36.860And so he wrote this, Mike Lawler, acting on behalf of people who pay him money, no question.
00:04:41.720Quote, the deeply offensive and hateful comments reportedly made in a private chat among members of the New York State Young Republicans are disgusting.
00:04:50.700Not only deeply offensive and hateful, but disgusting.
00:04:54.360They should resign from any leadership position immediately and reflect on how far they have strayed from basic human respect and decency.
00:05:03.740You, sir, the one who called somebody retarded, are indecent.
00:05:13.020So these kids, and who knows how old they are, none of them over 30, no question about it, texting each other in the middle of the day, blowing off work.
00:05:20.600Look, on Telegram, these kids should resign their positions, hang their heads in shame, and reflect on the indecency of their text exchange with their buddies.
00:05:30.940So that's the position of official republicandom to these boys.
00:05:36.180If you didn't know better, you might think that the whole purpose of being an official republican is to keep your party within certain bounds.
00:05:58.440Well, because there is widespread indecent behavior among republican officials, not just indecent sexual behavior, though doubtless that exists too, but out in the open, public indecency.
00:06:10.020For example, people taking money from the payday loan lobby.
00:06:35.940How many American deaths would you estimate Lindsey Graham is responsible for?
00:06:41.160Not simply as a man who frequently articulates the need to go die for some other country, but as a man who votes to start wars that get Americans killed.
00:06:50.880Has Mike Lawler denounced him as indecent?
00:06:53.440Should he be reflecting upon his sins?
00:07:25.680But according to Mike Lawler and the board of the National Young Republicans Organization, these kids are done.
00:07:32.380So the response, and that's the interesting part of this story really, not the fact that someone got called retarded or said someone should go to the gas chambers.
00:07:39.660But the response was quick and it was unequivocal.
00:07:43.380The party will not tolerate this, the Republican Party.
00:07:46.160And what's interesting about this story is that it appeared against the backdrop of a bigger and longer story when the beginning of the beginning of this month out of Virginia, where there's a very tight race for attorney general.
00:07:57.680It's one of those positions that very few people outside of politics consider important, but within politics is considered the key position in any state.
00:08:06.260That person has an awful lot of power and the race in Virginia includes the Republican incumbent standing up against a 36-year-old man called Jay Jones.
00:08:17.900Jay Jones is a former delegate in the Virginia House.
00:08:20.680And a few years ago, Jay Jones became very annoyed, apparently, with the head Republican in the House of Delegates.
00:08:30.660And he expressed his anger at this man in a text exchange with a Republican delegate.
00:08:38.880And that text exchange unfolded this way.
00:08:41.600Now, I'm going to read this verbatim and you can decide whether this is lacking context or not.
00:08:45.840So this is Jay Jones, the 36-year-old then delegate, black guy, now running for attorney general.
00:08:53.560And he's talking about a man called Todd Gilbert, the head Republican in the Virginia House.
00:08:57.880And he says of Gilbert, he's speaking to Kerry Conyer, who's a fellow delegate Republican.
00:09:02.460He says, if these guys go before me, if they die before me, I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves, send them out awash in something.
00:09:10.240To which Kerry Conyer, who clearly is kind of a decent person, says, Jay Jones.
00:11:07.140They're evil and they're breeding little fascists who deserve to die.
00:11:10.840Anyway, this is not one of those text exchanges where you have to guess at the context or the intent.
00:11:18.300This is an exchange between two people, one of whom is calling for the murder of children and the other is trying really hard from the context here to talk him out of thinking that.
00:11:28.080You don't really mean that, do you, Jay Jones?
00:11:31.480Now, there are so many levels of irony here.
00:11:35.460The most obvious is this is a leading Democrat who wants to be the chief law enforcement officer in the state who is a gun control advocate calling for the murder of kids.
00:12:47.880What's going on here is what we see all around us.
00:12:51.820You have two parties, one of which is committed to polite language.
00:12:56.720And the other is committed to following the logic of their own belief, identity politics, being the core belief of the Democratic Party, to its logical extension.
00:13:07.080And the logical extension is some groups get the rewards and other groups get killed.
00:13:12.540This is the logic of a lot of the world, by the way.
00:13:14.440It's the logic of Africa, all of Africa.
00:15:31.700To me, and many people like me, these events are a window into a struggle that defines daily life for African Americans from the day we are born until the day we die.
00:15:43.640And despite the generations of suffering and sacrifice, my own life has been impacted by the overt and covert racism that has haunted my ancestors for hundreds of years.
00:15:53.020And it wasn't always overt racism thrown in my face.
00:15:57.200It was the casual racism, the subtle comments, the jokes from white acquaintances who had the luxury of thinking about race as fodder for humor.
00:16:06.080The black Virginia that is still oppressed by vestiges of Jim Crow in our legal system, that fears law enforcement, is mocked in yearbooks and photos year after year after year and looks skeptically at white Virginia because of the generations past.
00:16:21.420So you can see Jay Jones has felt the pain, he's felt the sting, the bullwhip on his shoulders, the German shepherds at his heels, fighting for equality in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
00:16:32.880And you know that from the world he grew up in.
00:16:36.600Jay Jones is the grandson of a prominent lawyer in Norfolk.
00:16:41.200Jay Jones' father went to boarding school in Princeton.
00:16:44.700He became a judge, just like Jay Jones' mother.
00:16:47.520Jay Jones went to the most expensive private school in Norfolk.
00:16:51.980Then he went from there to William and Mary.
00:16:54.640And then he was forced to endure the University of Virginia Law School.
00:16:57.680Now we haven't seen the deal he cut with financial aid, but we can guess he probably paid nothing for any of that.
00:18:11.740People like Jay Jones, coddled, growing up not in the hood, but in a household of two judges, one of whom went to Princeton,
00:18:21.220going probably for free to a local white private school.
00:18:26.240This guy is telling you that he's Medgar Evers.
00:18:29.160And the thing is, this is 70 years after Brown v. Board of Education, 70 years since the Supreme Court banned segregation.
00:18:42.380And here's this guy, the product of the best Norfolk has to offer, again, probably for free, someone ought to ask him, is telling us that he's a victim.
00:18:53.740So if 70 years later, politicians are still saying that, then you're starting to figure out that this will never end because it's the key to their power over you.
00:19:05.140So the second interesting thing about what Jay Jones says, which I think any normal person would say is instantly disqualifying,
00:19:15.220it's not an offhand remark about how someone's retarded or should go to the gas chamber, by the way, not just the gas chamber at Auschwitz, but just the gas chamber.
00:19:24.120Could be the California penal gas chamber, not specified, but whatever.
00:19:30.860The kid said it, ugly thing to say, shouldn't have said it.
00:19:33.760But that kid is being written out of Republican politics.
00:19:37.760And this guy, who has two separate long text exchanges and a phone call where a Republican friend is trying to talk him out of genocidal intent,
00:19:49.360says again and again and again, no, I want to kill the children because they're little fascists because of the blood in their veins or the color of their skin or whatever.
00:20:24.120And one of the reasons he could win is because the Democratic Party of Virginia and nationally has formed a phalanx around him to protect him.
00:20:32.860The Black Caucus of Virginia elected black legislators in Virginia because he's in their tribe are defending him flat out.
00:21:09.300There is a Democrat running for attorney general who's embroiled in a scandal over text messages in which he, the Democrat, said that the GOP speaker of the House of Delegates should get two bullets to the head for how he paid tribute to a former moderate Democratic lawmaker who died.
00:21:48.220Former Speaker, is this man a better choice to be attorney general of the state of Virginia?
00:21:53.260Of course, no one will ever ask her that.
00:21:54.460You'll notice that CNN truncated the quotes where he's kind of offering up some rhetorical.
00:21:59.860If you had three, two bullets, you know, who would you kill?
00:22:03.040And left out the part where he says we should kill the children, too.
00:22:05.900And he goes full Hutu, full African, and says we should kill the children, the children, because they're a little fascist, because their parents are fascists.
00:23:39.740And then those instincts are overridden by what she knows to be true, which is anything that jeopardizes abortion must be stopped, no matter what.
00:23:50.860And that's also clearly the calculation of Abigail Spanberger.
00:23:54.260Now, she's a member of Congress from Northern Virginia.
00:23:57.340She's also probably the single creepiest person to serve in the House.
00:24:01.680A former CIA officer, actual CIA officer, or for some Saudi think tank.
00:24:05.920And then the CIA as an officer, which you think would disqualify someone immediately from serving in the Congress.
00:24:12.640How can you be an intel officer and then serve in the Congress?
00:24:15.200That's not a good idea because it further blurs the lines between intel gathering and governing, which are blurred enough.
00:24:22.500But Abigail Spanberger, who's kind of the perfect distillation of the low IQ lefty suburban mom, is running for governor right now and winning still against the Republican candidate, Winsome Sears.
00:24:35.360And in their only debate the other night, Winsome Sears saw an advantage in talking about Jay Jones and put this question directly to Abigail Spanberger.
00:24:42.380This is someone who's running on your ticket.
00:24:45.080His name will be right next to hers on Election Day.
00:39:45.280She looked like a deer in the headlines.
00:39:47.260I was just sitting there like, who in the world told her just to stare?
00:39:50.980I mean, you know, if she won't answer for her kids that she wouldn't want her kids to be in this situation, is she going to protect your kids?
00:40:00.100That's what I would be asking if I was doing some serious.
00:40:03.840I say, if she won't protect her kids, is she really going to protect your kids?
00:58:35.600What is this impulse you've been in Republican politics really at the center of it for so long where Republicans seem to spend most of their time policing, the leaders policing their members and their voters?
00:59:11.320They know that institutionally the party is weak.
00:59:16.220Because the party is, one, not a party of government, obviously, of individuals, but it's attracted, and you know this better than anybody, just people who kind of want to get along, who want to have people not say bad things about them, you know.
00:59:31.580And the way to do that is just to go along.
00:59:33.460And if we can make some changes on the margin, it would work.
00:59:36.520If that strategy worked, the country wouldn't be on the edge of the abyss.
00:59:42.840Even with Trump, we are on the edge of the abyss.
00:59:46.220And people, and many people waking up to it, the MAGA base knows it.
01:00:23.280But there's still the correction police, the be politically correct is still there and still the mentality of it.
01:00:32.000The only way we're going to do that is to just take action and get some scalps.
01:00:37.960And that's why I think you're starting to see through some of these indictments, maybe Bolton, but it's not enough, and you're not getting to the central apparatus part, which we have to get to.
01:00:46.960I mean, a lot of the political consultants at the highest level Republican political consultants seem very consumed with knocking off Marjorie Taylor Greene or Thomas Massey.
01:00:59.660You don't have to agree with everything those people are calling for, but you can't say they're liberal.
01:01:06.180I mean, Massey's kind of a libertarian, but he's a lot more conservative than, I don't know, Lindsey Graham or Michael Lawler by any measure.
01:01:12.740And yet they seem like they're spending 80% of their day trying to find a primary challenger for Massey and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
01:01:38.640You know, she flipped and went with McCarthy, but she's a firebrand, and she's a fighter, and when a fight counts, she's going to be there with you.
01:02:01.740Look, Luntz and these guys, remember, if you look back up at Capitol Hill, and I know you know the math here, we only have a handful of MAGA people, right?
01:02:09.940If you look in the Senate, we've got maybe Eric Schmidt, maybe Josh Hawley, both from Missouri.
01:02:28.640They just hope to tap President Trump along.
01:02:31.060And they'll get to the midterms, and then, you know, 2028, and they'll just, you know, Ted Cruz already had a big article in the Daily Telegraph.
01:02:39.640He's already putting his team together.
01:02:43.000It's totally random from your interview and that Israel First has to have a candidate since they just got crushed here in the last couple of days.
01:02:52.560But it is because certain vested interests want people to kind of toe to a line, right?
01:02:59.940And if you fall outside that, they're going to come after you.
01:03:02.860And I think that's why it behooves us.
01:03:06.220Look, Fox just had the first interview, I think, with Mount Dominic, right?
01:03:20.920With everything else going on and, quite frankly, how he's a Marxist-Shihadist, but he has kind of taken populism and, you know, talked about affordability.
01:03:28.740You think you might want to get in back of the Working Families Party and DSA and how they replicate the Trump, you know, turning point, war room, precinct strategy for ground game for low information, low propensity voters.
01:03:42.100And this is why they're blowing guys out, because they had no money at first against Cuomo.
01:03:45.600Now, we're not going to talk about that.
01:03:46.900We're going to talk about arresting Bibi Netanyahu.
01:04:01.020And when I gave that keynote speech to kind of wrap up the National Conservatism Conference, which has kind of got a strong neocon, you know, take on it, I said, to quote T.E. Lawrence from The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, what they told him at the time when he showed up at Cairo's military headquarters, they said, look, the Middle East is a sideshow to the main event, the Western Front.
01:04:24.080And the Arab revolt is a sideshow to a sideshow.
01:04:27.560And I said, the Middle East right now for us, with everything geopolitically going on in the economic war, China, and our nation sliding toward a civil war around insurrection with a party like the Democrats have an escalatory ladder of violence.
01:04:42.360The Middle East is a sideshow, and the Israel issue is a sideshow to a sideshow.
01:04:49.120And you can't let it be the central thing that you revolve around.
01:04:53.720And I'm a supporter of Israel, and I'm a supporter of the Jewish people.
01:04:57.040But the Israel-first aspect of this has taken our eyes so far off the ball because they kept saying it's going to tear MAGRA apart.
01:05:03.860It's not going to tear MAGRA apart because it's not a big enough fundamental issue to tear us apart.
01:05:08.840And that's why we have to focus on the time that we have to really take down the central thing that President Trump will be known for.
01:05:15.960One will be some of this piece on the Eurasian landmass, et cetera.
01:05:19.740But the central thing, if he can accomplish it, and we must accomplish it on his tour of duty, is the deconstruction of the administrative state and the destruction of the deep state.
01:05:30.040So the First Amendment is the one truly distinctive thing that makes America America.
01:05:51.500Our sponsor, Pure Talk, understands how important this has, how central it is.
01:05:54.980So if you want to support brands that defend freedom and American values, we recommend switching your wireless service to Pure Talk, which is way cheaper and uses the same towers the other guys use.

01:08:51.980What are the midterms going to look like, do you think?
01:08:54.760Well, if we get the redistricting things, and I think Mike Davis was on the show earlier, and of course the left is melting down this afternoon after the Supreme Court debates, or the Supreme Court today on the DEI congressional gerrymandering districts.
01:09:15.940If we get a win there, and we do the redistricting that is only fair to the American people, if we get those, you could add another, you know, 10 or 15, maybe 20 net seats.
01:09:29.880We can't, if we allow Hakeem Jeffries, the guys, either steal seats or win seats, and they take over the House, people have to understand, the whole Trump revolution comes to a full stop.
01:09:41.120They will be subpoenas flying the first day.
01:09:43.060Trump will be impeached in the first three weeks.
01:09:45.180Not that he'll be removed from office, but they'll go through the whole rigmarole.
01:09:49.300You're going to have subpoenas flying everywhere.
01:09:51.180The whole fight every day will be trench warfare against Hakeem Jeffries and these guys to keep our revolutionary movement going to basically return ourselves to a constitutional republic.
01:10:14.540They don't want to upset the apple cart.
01:10:16.800They don't want to have people say bad things about them.
01:10:18.600So if we get the redistrictings done that are out there to do, and you have a ruling from the Supreme Court that talks about, you know, these are net, I think, times I said 12 and Politico 19.
01:10:30.880It's a steep hill for Jeffries to overcome.
01:10:35.980And I think this is a danger also for the country.
01:10:38.480I think as they see that the democratic process is not going to work for them, that basically the dynamics and demographics of the country, also a revival of, I think, religious – because I think this young generation, 18 to 30s, particularly the men, are the most based generation we've ever had.
01:10:55.000That if this keeps coming, they're not going to be a win at the ballot box.
01:11:00.160And so they will go to – you know, in a twist on Clausewitz, they will go to violence of other means politically when the political process and the democracy doesn't work.
01:11:13.360Because remember, the people that beat the drum of democracy were the Bolsheviks back in 17.
01:11:17.700The left uses the same type of language, and people should understand.
01:11:21.060When they understand that the electoral college has moved away from them, that the House has moved away from them for the legitimate and fair demographics and shifts in the nation, they're going to get more violent, they're going to get more angry, and they're going to get more dangerous.
01:11:37.620So we have institutions to deal with civil unrest, of course, and one of them is the FBI.
01:11:45.460And so it seems like it would be a matter of self-preservation.
01:11:49.320If you're on the side of the Constitution and Heritage America and just like normal people, you would want an institutional law enforcement agency that could keep riots from metastasizing into civil war.
01:12:00.780So you'd want to make sure the FBI was on the side of the Constitution, no?
01:12:17.000Because remember, the traditional Catholics they went after, that's my parish, and my parents were blue-collar people, started a little traditional Latin Mass parish as a spinoff from the Benedictine Abbey back in the late 70s.
01:12:30.640And these are the people that have eight and nine kids.
01:12:33.720A couple of people – the kids go in the Marines or the Navy.
01:12:53.460When I was in Danbury prison, some of the most remarkable men I've ever met are these men that are in prison for five, six, seven, eight years for praying the rosary outside of an abortion clinic.
01:13:06.420They go to prison, and of course they have women that are grandmothers in the other prisons.
01:13:10.600If you look across the board, the FBI, if we think it lost its way under Hoover, and we think institutionally it drifted and even in 9-11, it's just had a terrible track record.
01:13:21.300There is a deep rot in there that's quite frankly anti-American.
01:13:27.100So now when really America, you're right, would need it as an institution most, you actually have to go in and institutionally take this thing apart, I think bifurcate it, get the two law enforcement and counterintelligence and intel out of there, and then deal with the law enforcement.
01:13:43.040But still, layer by layer, you have to take it apart.
01:13:46.180You have to bring in a new generation of FBI agents, train them up, almost start like Hoover, start it over again, think it through, and then go.
01:13:56.200Otherwise, you're just putting a Band-Aid on a shotgun wound, and it's not going to work.
01:14:01.160And I think that that's the mentality.
01:14:13.000We're finding these things out every couple of days from whistleblowers who are getting nervous they may get wrapped up in an investigation, but that's not good enough.
01:14:20.420That's not systemically going through this.
01:15:17.380So I think that institution has to be changed.
01:15:20.880But I think we've got to go after the executive branch institution because we're not going to have a lot of time.
01:15:25.380And we're going to meet tremendous resistance on this.
01:15:27.720The deeper one, the FBI is bad as the FBI is, which is terrible.
01:15:31.780When you look at the intelligence apparatus and the national security part with the Pentagon, because remember, why did we just have a huge win in basically breaking the back of the Israel First people?
01:15:44.420Because about the Iran-Depersion situation, right?
01:15:48.500And we now know from the times of Israel, right, not from the Tucker Carlson show and not from War Room, not from Breitbart,
01:15:55.440you now know that the War Cabinet's minutes and debate was about a two-year stretch for this nuclear program to really be of danger or kick in.
01:16:05.360Two years, of which we said all the time, not two days, not two weeks.
01:16:09.360Yet the CIA, and I say Radcliffe's a guy we ought to bring up and have him testify in front of Congress and grill him.
01:16:15.640How did he give the president totally different information than Tulsi Gabbard and her team who turned out to be right?
01:16:22.880And remember, we went for two months, and Tulsi Gabbard was thrown under the bus every day.
01:16:27.400There was a horrible article about her.
01:16:32.020And she got a little bit ostracized there for a minute until people realized, hello, she actually did an aggregate of all the different 17 branches, and she was right.
01:16:44.420There was no change from her original testimony.
01:16:46.480It was about two years away or thereabouts, according to the War Cabinet of the Israeli government, the Netanyahu government.
01:16:55.960And it kind of comports to when Brett Baer pressed him up that Sunday night, was saying, hey, why was this so urgent the other day?
01:17:02.340And he said, well, you know, we're six months to a year away.
01:17:08.980That effort shows us that we have a massive problem in the intelligence apparatus, and that, to me, should be as high a priority as the FBI.
01:17:22.320You have to put a team together to go do it, and the people you put together have to be incredibly tough and incredibly focused.
01:17:28.440But that's why I think I've been arguing for a special prosecutor for this entire kind of deep state, or at least the conspiracy against Trump in the first term and rolling over to the second term of Clapper and Brennan and all these guys.
01:17:42.240So I think you either do it that way or internally, if you can do it but hire more U.S. attorneys, cut the FBI down by at least a third immediately, even if you have to give up some things you're working on.
01:17:55.600Because I think right now that people are saying, hey, look, it's great with the crime thing you did today, Cash, I feel better.
01:19:36.240I gave this talk at Semaphore's, you know, their little Davos they do in the spring when Ben Smith invited me to talk at kind of one of the guys that wrapped it up.
01:19:47.420And I said, look, you may not like the populist policies I put for economics.
01:19:52.120You may not like the fact that I push to have a tax increase for the wealthy, right?
01:19:58.360Because I just do the math and something's going to have to give here.
01:20:01.080We're just not going to grow our way out of it.
01:20:02.700But I said, you're going to have a choice.
01:20:12.660Because this, and this was before Mondami, so now they've got to count two.
01:20:17.480But the hero worship of that guy, the hero worship of the alleged assassin, and I'm not even sure, I haven't seen enough to believe he's the assassin.
01:20:27.800I think it's a much deeper conspiracy.
01:20:30.060But the hero worship by the radicals on the left, particularly the most radical, which may be these trannies, right?
01:20:38.660They're now basically very disturbed men and very manipulative men.
01:20:44.420Who are now down on this and want it to be a gunfight.
01:20:48.180I said, you should watch online and you should watch how they're kind of turned into heroes if you want to see where this thing's going to go.
01:20:56.760Because it's not going to, with Reddit and these other chat rooms, it's only getting darker.
01:21:01.920And the more they lose, and particularly the more that they see that structurally the country's changed.
01:21:07.640And finally, with Trump and others, you've had people that will call that out.
01:21:13.280People will do these redistrictings that institutionally we will start to at least make some movement there.
01:21:18.360When they see that it's impossible to take back the House or to take back the Senate.
01:21:23.280So in Electoral College, I think it's going to be very, very difficult.
01:21:26.940But even if they take that, we would structurally have the House and Senate as a check and start to do the deconstruction of the ministry of the state with Russ Vogt and the team.
01:21:37.020They're not going to get more – they're not going to embrace some sort of Martin Luther King or Gandhi, you know, the underlying philosophy and ethics of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
01:21:49.620They're not going to go – it's not going to be the Beatitudes.
01:21:52.200They're going to get more dangerous, and you can see this, how they're getting egged on by MSNBC, how they're getting egged on by the corporate media on the left.
01:22:02.600And so that's why I think we're going to a very dark place.
01:22:05.860But when you go through hell, let's go through as quickly as possible.
01:22:09.540And I think we have to stand and face it today so our kids and grandkids don't have to do it.
01:22:14.000So how should people prepare for that personally, people who have no control over Supreme Court decisions or electoral maps?
01:22:22.200Like a family, how do you prepare for what you think is imminent?
01:22:26.840Well, I think, first of all, a family ought to be in your daily life.
01:22:30.760Like one of our sponsors is My Patriot Supply.
01:22:34.060Ten years ago, that was looked like as wing nuts, right?
01:22:39.640You look what's happening to the grid.
01:22:40.940You look at what's going to happen to these data centers, even the water use of data centers.
01:22:45.000Number one, as a family unit, I think you ought to get to know each other very well and spend time in each other's life.
01:22:53.360You ought to have set readings and try to do the underpinnings of our culture more and more and more to really nurture the unit of the family.
01:23:01.960But number two, I think you've got to get ready.
01:23:03.900You have to think through, not to be paranoid, but to say, look, in modernity, there's going to be a lot of risk.
01:23:11.980How is we as a unit rationally mitigate that risk?
01:23:15.000How do we mitigate the risk to our family, to our food supply, to electricity, to our phones and communications?
01:23:21.800Let's just go through and maybe assign a great task for a 12-year-old.
01:23:59.640And I think if you just start doing that every day and make it part, you know, just doing reps like you do in football, make it part of the natural reflex of your family, your family unit.
01:24:07.500And you take leadership in the family, no matter if you're the husband, the wife, the kids, you take leadership in that.
01:24:14.460I think, by the way, I feel actually very good.
01:24:17.860And one of the reasons I look at this younger generation, particularly men, don't want to downplay women, but the college educated women are so far gone, right, by and large, the left.
01:24:28.660But if you look at this young generation of men, 18 to 30, they're the most based generation I think we've ever had.
01:24:36.000And they're coming either with fathers or uncles or older brothers that volunteered for these endless wars and really fought every bit as great as Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, World II, as volunteers in a thankless effort that you might add was pointless too.
01:24:55.740And I think that that, the strength of that, coupled with this kind of base and the return to, I think you're seeing a return to not just Christian values and reading the Bible, but an interest in the underpinnings of philosophy and theology for the West.
01:25:12.400They want to know more about Western culture.
01:25:14.200They want to know why modernity has outlawed America, you know, basically traditional culture.
01:25:19.880This is, you know, I consider myself a populist nationalist traditionalist.
01:25:22.960I don't call myself a conservative, haven't for years, because I think the conservatives are just, they've just acted like pussies.
01:25:29.460They roll over all the time and you can't do that.
01:25:32.120You have to be as hard or harder than the left.
01:25:34.660And I think, Tucker, I really feel good.
01:25:37.820I think we have very dark days ahead of us, both globally with the CCP and others that get sucked into these wars.
01:25:44.060I think we have very dark days in front of us as a country, but I can start to see the sunlit uplands way, way, way, way, way off in the distance.
01:25:52.060And so I'm very enthusiastic of where we are, and I think my enthusiasm comes from this young generation who had everything against it.
01:25:59.040The propaganda in the schools, the destruction of their culture, the outing of them for everything if they didn't fall in line with the most radical things of sexuality or gender or climate change, all these things from the official source.
01:26:12.300To come through that with a set and apparatus that is so radical, trying to either other you or destroy you every day, and they came through that, that shows you we have the basic foundation that we've had from the beginning of every patriot's grave down to the future.
01:26:29.080And that makes me feel we got this, but we got to get on with it.
01:26:32.800In the distance, I can see the sunlit uplands.
01:26:37.080Boy, I'm putting that in my refrigerator.
01:26:38.700Steve Bannon, Eloquent and Wise, thank you so much for doing this.
01:26:42.860Tucker, always an honor and an honor to fight the trenches with you.
01:26:47.500You have taken amazing abuse for helping lead this country.
01:27:05.940And people don't, I think, realize all the pressure under, but you're one of the leaders in this country, and we're getting to a better place.
01:27:12.560We're getting towards that sunlit uplands because guys like you are at the lead, the tip of the spear in this fight.
01:27:31.200Here's to the sunlit uplands on the horizon.
01:27:42.480We've got a new website we hope you will visit.
01:27:44.740It's called newcommissionnow.com, and it refers to a new 9-11 commission.
01:27:51.240So we spent months putting together our 9-11 documentary series, and if there's one thing we learned, it's that, in fact, there was foreknowledge of the attacks.
01:28:10.120The CIA, for example, knew the hijackers were here in the United States.
01:28:13.440They knew they were planning an act of terror.
01:28:15.360In his passport is a visa to go to the United States of America.
01:28:20.060A foreign national was caught celebrating as the World Trade Center fell and later said he was in New York, quote, to document the event.
01:28:28.040I didn't know there would be an event to document in the first place because he had foreknowledge.
01:28:31.580And maybe most amazingly, somebody, an unknown investor, shorted American Airlines and United Airlines, the companies whose planes the attackers used on 9-11, as well as the banks that were inside the Twin Towers just before the attacks.
01:28:45.820They made money on the 9-11 attacks because they knew they were coming.
