Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good evening, guys, and welcome to another huge, with a capital Y, episode of Triggered.
00:00:05.000 Tonight we're joined by my friend, conservative journalist and human events editor Jack Posobiec, who will reveal everything you need to know about the swamp and everything they don't want you to know about Ukraine.
00:00:19.000 What 2024 dirty tricks are coming and ultimately the path
00:00:23.000 to victory in the next election.
00:00:26.000 I think it's going to be a great interview, and I think you're really going to enjoy it.
00:00:29.000 But first, there's a lot of news we got to get into, guys, including the latest insanity, the latest developments surrounding the Biden crime family.
00:00:40.000 And obviously, the big news about Public Square going public.
00:00:45.000 I got to sit on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange last week on Thursday, and let's just say it was epic.
00:00:53.000 So we'll talk about why it matters so much for the Patriot economy.
00:00:58.000 So guys, just this past week,
00:01:01.000 We had a House oversight hearing featuring IRS whistleblowers on Hunter Biden.
00:01:06.000 In addition to Senator Chuck Grassley releasing an FBI document detailing a very detailed Biden bribery scheme.
00:01:16.000 There's been new revelations about the Bidens almost every week for the past month or two, and I'm still shocked that no one really seems to be interested.
00:01:27.000 Certainly not our mainstream media, certainly not the Democrats, certainly not all those, you know, the democracy folks that push Russia, Russia, Russia like it was going out of style.
00:01:39.000 So I thought, since no one else is doing it,
00:01:42.000 I thought we'd go through what we've learned for you because you're not going to see it anywhere else.
00:01:48.000 Again, why I say it's so important to like, share, and subscribe to this kind of content so other people have a chance to see it.
00:01:54.000 So just hit that little button right now.
00:01:57.000 It paints a pretty definitive picture
00:02:00.000 We're good to go.
00:02:17.000 They were okay.
00:02:18.000 Now we have Democrat whistleblowers from the IRS and such who still actually believe in democracy because it doesn't feel like a lot of Democrats do these days.
00:02:29.000 We've learned that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden worked closely together to sell out America for their personal profit.
00:02:38.000 It's a family business, folks.
00:02:40.000 My family business has been real estate.
00:02:43.000 Buildings that we built that you can see, that you can touch.
00:02:47.000 Everyone knows this who's been following our family for the last, like, 40 years.
00:02:53.000 The Biden family business, however, is influence peddling.
00:02:57.000 You want a Ukrainian prosecutor fired?
00:02:59.000 Well, you have to just pay the right people.
00:03:02.000 For Burisma's CEO, the right people were Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
00:03:08.000 In 2014, Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, who infamously put Hunter Biden on its board of directors despite Hunter having zero oil or gas industry experience, despite not speaking the language, despite not being required to actually show up, you know, etc.
00:03:27.000 etc.
00:03:28.000 You know, a lot of people make millions for those kind of qualifications.
00:03:31.000 Knowing nothing, doing nothing, never showing up, not understanding.
00:03:34.000 I mean, that happens all the time, right?
00:03:37.000 In the course of legitimate arm's-length transactions, right?
00:03:41.000 I don't know, guys.
00:03:42.000 We used to think that they were paying Hunter a million a year for this role.
00:03:48.000 In return, Joe Biden used U.S.
00:03:51.000 foreign aid to pressure Ukraine into firing Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor that was investigating Burisma.
00:03:59.000 Guys, watch the clip one more time.
00:04:02.000 I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kiev, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee.
00:04:12.000 And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor, and they didn't.
00:04:21.000 So they said they were walking out to the press conference and said, no, we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
00:04:28.000 They said, you have no authority.
00:04:29.000 You're not the president.
00:04:30.000 The president said, I said, call him.
00:04:33.000 I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.
00:04:36.000 I said, you're not getting a billion.
00:04:37.000 I'm going to be leaving here.
00:04:38.000 I think it was what, six hours.
00:04:40.000 I look, I said, I'm leaving in six hours.
00:04:42.000 If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money.
00:04:45.000 Oh, son of a bitch.
00:04:47.000 That's fine.
00:04:48.000 I remember when they said, oh, that's not a big deal.
00:04:50.000 It doesn't mean anything.
00:04:51.000 With the evidence that we've seen now, that's still the Democrat talking point.
00:04:54.000 It just happens to be total bullshit.
00:04:57.000 We learned last week, thanks to Chuck Grassley, that this cost much more than $1 million to Hunter Biden.
00:05:05.000 Barisma had to pay a $10 million bribe, $5 million to Hunter and apparently $5 million to Joe in order to get the prosecutor fired.
00:05:17.000 Barisma's CEO told an FBI informant that he was, quote, coerced by the Bidens into making a bribe.
00:05:27.000 Again,
00:05:28.000 Just go back to the video that we just played.
00:05:31.000 He literally says it out loud.
00:05:33.000 Because if you're a Democrat, you can do those kinds of things.
00:05:37.000 It doesn't matter.
00:05:38.000 The CEO, Zojewski, said that even though Hunter Biden was dumber than his dog, which honestly, guys, we've seen the video.
00:05:47.000 Shouldn't surprise anyone.
00:05:50.000 He had to pay him in order to get the prosecutor fired.
00:05:55.000 The FBI had this document detailing the bribe for years, folks.
00:06:02.000 Including before the 2020 election.
00:06:06.000 How convenient for Joe Biden that the deep state
00:06:09.000 virtually ensured this information didn't get released before he got elected, right?
00:06:16.000 The other information that was out there was covered up by the deep state and the 50-something intelligence officials who, you know, like everything else, oh yeah, it's Russian disinformation.
00:06:25.000 Sure, why not?
00:06:26.000 Everything's Russian disinformation, folks.
00:06:28.000 Except the stuff that's actually going to incriminate Democrats or
00:06:33.000 When Democrats are selling out our country, we're still going to cover it up because the deep state is much more important than our republic, or the notion of democracy, or anything like that.
00:06:43.000 We only know about this bribe because Republicans, namely Chuck Grassley,
00:06:48.000 Used their oversight power to get it released.
00:06:52.000 So they knew.
00:06:53.000 They knew he was susceptible to bribes.
00:06:56.000 They didn't care.
00:06:57.000 They allowed it to happen anyway.
00:06:59.000 We're now making a hundred plus trillion dollar decisions in Ukraine when maybe there's more floating out there that we don't yet know about.
00:07:08.000 We could be on the brink of nuclear war, beyond the money.
00:07:12.000 And no one's even asking the question, is our insane America Last policy, is our insane giving them $130 billion while not being able to finish our border wall for, like, $3 billion?
00:07:28.000 Is our stupidity, our poor decisions, are they being based on all of this and no one cares?
00:07:37.000 Our press isn't even interested in asking those questions.
00:07:40.000 Seems like a big deal, but I don't know.
00:07:43.000 Guess I'm not a journalist.
00:07:44.000 I wouldn't understand the finer nuances of those things.
00:07:47.000 Or they're just all on the take.
00:07:50.000 They've showed their hands, they've showed their true colors, and they couldn't care less because the institution of journalism is dead.
00:07:59.000 This $10 million bribe that the Bidens received is just a drop in the bucket, folks.
00:08:04.000 Hunter and his father got rich with payments from all over the world, including China, Romania, Kazakhstan, and even Russia.
00:08:13.000 Okay?
00:08:14.000 If they were making $10 million plus from Ukraine, a little country,
00:08:20.000 In the breadbasket of the world?
00:08:22.000 What do you think China was willing to pay?
00:08:25.000 Again, we know they invested a billion dollars into Hunter Biden's fund.
00:08:29.000 A billion dollars.
00:08:31.000 I mean, again, we've discussed this on the show.
00:08:34.000 It's not like China does a lot of investing with crack heads.
00:08:38.000 They know exactly what they're dealing with.
00:08:40.000 They only invest when they know they can buy someone.
00:08:43.000 And I'm sure that's exactly what they did.
00:08:46.000 We all know it.
00:08:47.000 And again, no one's asking the question, is our America last, China first policies, which have been pretty flagrant as well.
00:08:54.000 Because China has a lot more on the Bidens that they could drop like that.
00:09:00.000 Hey guys, guess what?
00:09:01.000 If they dropped it, half the Republicans wouldn't do anything anyway and none of the Democrats would, so it probably wouldn't even affect them.
00:09:07.000 They should just make it public at this point.
00:09:10.000 They should just open source it and be like, hey, they've made billions and millions, whatever it was, from all of these corrupt regimes while selling out America because it doesn't seem like the people in power would actually care with the exception of the few Republicans actually looking into this.
00:09:23.000 Joe has lied over and over, saying that he doesn't know anything about Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.
00:09:31.000 We know this isn't true, and we got more confirmation of that this morning.
00:09:37.000 The New York Post revealed this morning that Devin Archer, Hunter Biden's former business partner and best friend, will reportedly testify to Congress that Hunter Biden put his dad, then the vice president, on speakerphone with foreign business partners at least two dozen times.
00:09:57.000 That's 24 times that he's even aware of.
00:10:01.000 Right?
00:10:02.000 We've seen the pictures golfing.
00:10:03.000 He didn't know the guys he played 18 holes with, right?
00:10:06.000 Sure.
00:10:08.000 Also, Archer appears to be dodging the committee, so we'll see how it plays out.
00:10:14.000 Again, it's time for Republicans to actually grow a pair and do something about this insanity.
00:10:19.000 I know they wouldn't have sat back or sat on their hands when it was the Democrats blaming us because I did my congressional testimony 50 hours worth.
00:10:29.000 We all know that was a lie now, but
00:10:32.000 We got to look into it.
00:10:33.000 The Democrats made up far more about us than you could ever imagine.
00:10:40.000 But none of that even pales in comparison.
00:10:42.000 It's not even close to what we've already uncovered about the Biden-Cram family and everything that's going on.
00:10:49.000 So again, the silence from the media, the silence from the Democrats, the silence for all those that were shrieking for the last half decade or so,
00:10:58.000 Quite telling.
00:10:59.000 Now this criminal scheme was being uncovered before the 2020 election.
00:11:05.000 IRS Special Agent Gary Shapley testified last week that they analyzed the WhatsApp messaging showing Hunter Biden telling Chinese businessmen that he was sitting with his father and demanding payment.
00:11:21.000 Shapely said, and I quote, We sought permission to follow up on the information in the messages.
00:11:27.000 Prosecutors would not allow it.
00:11:30.000 Around this time, a search warrant for the guest house at the Biden's Delaware residence was being planned.
00:11:37.000 That search warrant was never executed because of the, quote, optics of it.
00:11:42.000 Really?
00:11:43.000 Really?
00:11:45.000 So let me get this straight, folks.
00:11:46.000 Raiding Mar-a-Lago is 100% fine using the FBI's hostage rescue team, the, like, Delta Force, the Navy SEALs of federal law enforcement, not exactly lawyers and bureaucrats, but basically a SWAT team on steroids to raid my father's home is fine.
00:12:07.000 But don't you dare do anything to the Bidens because, you know, optics.
00:12:12.000 Check this out for yourself.
00:12:15.000 At every stage, decisions were made that benefited the subject of this investigation.
00:12:20.000 For example, prosecutors concealed contents of Hunter Biden's laptop from investigators.
00:12:26.000 DOJ slow-walked steps to include interviews, serving document requests, and executing search warrants.
00:12:31.000 Warrants that were ready as early as April of 2020, but were delayed until after the November 2020 election and never pursued
00:12:41.000 Investigators were not allowed to follow up on WhatsApp messages from Hunter Biden's Apple iCloud backup, where he suggested he was sitting next to his father.
00:12:50.000 Assistant United States Attorney Leslie Wolf cited the optics of executing a search warrant at President Biden's residence as a deciding factor for not allowing it, even though she agreed that probable cause existed.
00:13:02.000 Prosecutors instructed investigators not to ask about the big guy or dad when conducting interviews.
00:13:08.000 The Biden transition team was tipped off about interviews the night before the investigation went overt.
00:13:13.000 A fact my FBI counterpart confirmed to this committee in a recent testimony.
00:13:18.000 Where the result was that only one witness spoke to investigators that day.
00:13:23.000 These are just some of the examples of how our investigation was stymied.
00:13:27.000 You would think that this story is all anyone would be talking about right now.
00:13:32.000 The president's son and the president himself are engaged in multi-million dollar enterprise to sell influence.
00:13:40.000 When federal agents uncovered the scheme during an election year and management stepped in to quash the investigation so the deep states candidate Joe Biden could win.
00:13:50.000 You know, you'd think that, but you'd be wrong.
00:13:54.000 This is bigger than Watergate, and it's not even close.
00:13:59.000 But it's not getting a tiny fraction of the attention.
00:14:03.000 It's not getting a tiny fraction of the attention that Russia, Russia, Russia got, and that was totally fabricated with no evidence.
00:14:12.000 Here we have piles of it from all different corrupt regimes all over the world.
00:14:19.000 And instead, to muddy the waters,
00:14:22.000 Deep state hack Jack Smith is busy targeting my father wanting to put him in jail for over 450 years.
00:14:32.000 He gives the liberal media something else to talk about other than the Biden corruptions and scandals.
00:14:41.000 It's ridiculous, folks.
00:14:42.000 And until we all start talking about it, until we force them to have some accountability, this sort of insanity will continue in perpetuity.
00:14:52.000 And it's one of the many reasons that Joe Biden is the second most unpopular president in modern political history.
00:15:00.000 Jimmy Carter was the first.
00:15:02.000 And even CNN is reporting that one.
00:15:06.000 The panic is setting in.
00:15:08.000 Will we see Biden replaced in 2024?
00:15:10.000 Because I'll say this, Jimmy Carter could have been a disaster for America economically, but at least he was a nice guy.
00:15:17.000 Joe Biden's not a nice guy, folks.
00:15:20.000 He may play one on TV, but we've seen it.
00:15:23.000 You see the corruption.
00:15:25.000 It's flagrant.
00:15:26.000 It's obvious.
00:15:27.000 You also look into his history and you realize he's none of what he's been portrayed.
00:15:33.000 So that's a disaster, guys.
00:15:35.000 But in better news, we're finally beating back the leftists trying to politicize business.
00:15:43.000 We've seen what's going on in woke corporate America.
00:15:45.000 We see the continued doubling down.
00:15:47.000 Public Square, a company that I got involved with like, you know, almost a year and a half ago, tried to help grow that links
00:15:56.000 Non-woke businesses, patriotic American businesses with consumers that want to see their hard-earned money spent with someone who doesn't hate their guts and won't take your hard-earned money and weaponize it against them.
00:16:09.000 Well, Public Square, folks, went public last week and I was there on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to ring the opening bell.
00:16:18.000 And let me tell you this, guys, you know, there was a time where I think I would have been quite welcome to New York.
00:16:23.000 And a lot's changed in the last seven years, but this one is when I'm legitimately like, hey, what's this going to be like?
00:16:31.000 And we went to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and it was absolutely incredible, man.
00:16:38.000 And that's perhaps the difference.
00:16:39.000 Woke corporate, the CEOs hate us.
00:16:42.000 They hate your values.
00:16:43.000 They hate our freedom.
00:16:44.000 They love the ESG, DEI crap that's going to be a disaster for their companies in the future.
00:16:50.000 The traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
00:16:52.000 It was like a love fest.
00:16:54.000 I mean, I took selfies with everyone.
00:16:55.000 They're high-fiving, they're loving what we're doing.
00:16:58.000 And then, public square goes public.
00:17:01.000 By the way, just so we're clear, with protections, okay, that the voting shares of the stock can't be commandeered by the woke.
00:17:10.000 You know, companies out there, the vanguards and the black rocks and all of this insanity.
00:17:16.000 So just so we're clear, because that's going to answer a lot of questions that people are going to have.
00:17:20.000 We're preventing that from happening and making sure that consumers can find the non-woke businesses and business can find patriotic Americans that want to support them.
00:17:28.000 So definitely go check it out.
00:17:30.000 But as we rang the bell, a chant broke out on the New York Stock Exchange, which I don't think has ever happened before.
00:17:38.000 It was a chant of U.S.A.
00:17:41.000 U.S.A.
00:17:43.000 U.S.A.
00:17:44.000 It was so aggressive, so awesome, and so loud, it seemed to piss off Jim Cramer, who stood there covering his ears, unable to even hear himself think.
00:17:58.000 Check it out for yourself.
00:18:09.000 You know, Jim, the scent of sales right now, new home sales, are so much higher than they have been since the overall sale.
00:18:39.000 Guys, I wonder if Kramer would have had the same response to like a China chant because, you know,
00:19:09.000 Probably, right?
00:19:10.000 Probably.
00:19:11.000 You know the rest of the woke corporate would much prefer China over USA.
00:19:15.000 Why does he dislike America so much?
00:19:17.000 It seems, you know, well, fortunately for Public Square, Jim Cramer's disapproval of stock usually means the company performs very well.
00:19:26.000 Cramer has the opposite effect of the Midas touch, you know?
00:19:29.000 Inverse Cramer.
00:19:31.000 Short whatever he's selling and
00:19:33.000 Buy whatever he's shorting.
00:19:35.000 Because on that same Thursday, Public Square's share value more than doubled.
00:19:39.000 Actually, more than tripled.
00:19:41.000 It was actually pretty spectacular.
00:19:44.000 And I'm sure a lot will go on before now, but now you have a public vehicle to take those funds to support the non-woke companies that so need it, to link consumers with all of that.
00:19:56.000 And honestly, other than Rumble,
00:19:59.000 I don't know that there's another non-woke company listed on any of these exchanges.
00:20:04.000 So, Public Square has over 1 million active users and is the easiest way to combat woke corporate America.
00:20:14.000 But think about that, 1 million in this short a period of time, that's faster than Twitter because there's 175 million Americans and probably a lot of independents, half the country, that are sick of having woke corporate.
00:20:27.000 Weaponize your hard-earned dollars against you, against your values.
00:20:32.000 We've seen it with Target and all the others, and you see them doubling down.
00:20:36.000 They couldn't care.
00:20:39.000 Using the app for Public Square, you can find businesses that align with your values.
00:20:44.000 So instead of buying clothes from a company that funds child sexual mutilation, encourages demonic possession it seems, and
00:20:51.000 You know, like the Church of Satan.
00:20:53.000 I mean, just the insanity that we see out there.
00:20:55.000 You can't even believe it's actually going on in the world.
00:20:58.000 You can actually buy clothes from a company that supports your freedom.
00:21:03.000 Or coffee.
00:21:04.000 Or shoes.
00:21:05.000 But support those businesses.
00:21:07.000 I think you'll really love it.
00:21:08.000 So, before we get to Jack, folks,
00:21:11.000 A quick word from our sponsors, and I just want to thank you guys again for everything that you're doing for liking, sharing, subscribing, downloading the Rumble app, and getting this message out there.

00:21:28.000 Today we have a good friend, an incredible online presence.
00:21:32.000 Many would call him a troll, though if you look at the things that he's saying, he actually ends up being right all of the time, I think.
00:21:38.000 So we have Jack Posobiec on, you know, former intelligence officer, current actual
00:21:45.000 Journalist, we're going to be talking to him about Ukraine.
00:21:48.000 Obviously, Polish background, a strong understanding of Eastern Europe and everything there.
00:21:53.000 We're going to be talking about the primary, what's going on in the GOP primary right now.
00:21:58.000 We're going to talk about the dirty tricks that I imagine we are going to see coming from the swamp and the swamp creatures and what's going to happen.
00:22:05.000 So I think it's going to be an exciting show.
00:22:07.000 But before we get there, I want to make sure we thank our incredible sponsors.

00:24:29.000 Guys, okay.
00:24:31.000 We have the Jack Posobiec.
00:24:34.000 Intelligence officer, pillow salesman, amongst other things, back on the show.
00:24:39.000 And honestly, I think it's a perfect time because I think of all the people out there in the MAGA sphere, when we're talking about what's going on in Ukraine, I mean, you probably have a better grasp of Eastern Europe than most.
00:24:50.000 The last time we were here, that was pretty much the main thing we talked about.
00:24:56.000 It's still going on.
00:24:58.000 We're 500 days into what we thought was a proxy war.
00:25:02.000 I think anyone with a brain realized it was probably more than that.
00:25:05.000 We have boots on the ground in Ukraine now, we're finding out, and that was right at the time when we spoke last.
00:25:11.000 The Pentagon misplaced $220 billion during this same time frame.
00:25:15.000 As you do.
00:25:16.000 I mean, if you spend $601 in Venmo, you're gonna get audited by the IRS, but the Pentagon can lose $220 billion.
00:25:22.000 But if you're, you know, or if you're the Trump Organization and you guys lost... Yeah, oh yeah.
00:25:26.000 Well, we misplaced $200 billion.
00:25:27.000 I'm so sorry, Alvin Bragg.
00:25:29.000 I have a feeling that wouldn't fly.
00:25:30.000 Letitia James would be cool with that, right?
00:25:31.000 Yeah, they did that one for $25,000, you know, for us.
00:25:34.000 So it's like, it seems, you know, maybe there's some unequal justice under the law, but... A little bit.
00:25:39.000 Another six billion last week alone.
00:25:41.000 That, you know, it always breaks one way, right?
00:25:44.000 Oh, accounting error.
00:25:45.000 Oh, here you go.
00:25:45.000 Six billion.
00:25:46.000 I'm like, how do I set up a company?
00:25:48.000 Like, can I find, like, a Ukrainian and, like, just be, you know, you're the guy.
00:25:53.000 I want to come back as Hunter Biden in my next life.
00:25:55.000 Because, like, imagine being Hunter Biden, like, without the drug problems and, like, some brains.
00:26:00.000 Like, you could be a trillionaire!
00:26:02.000 Like, you could be the first trillionaire!
00:26:03.000 Make it rain!
00:26:04.000 And it's like, you got Hunter Biden, the guy who... Come on, can we just cut, like... And not even though we could joke about it, does anybody actually think that Hunter Biden was going into the library to read books?
00:26:14.000 Does anyone think that he's like, I'm gonna brush up on my Teddy Roosevelt today in the White House?
00:26:19.000 If I was in the White House, and despite what they say online, like, I've never even done... Like, it's not my thing, right?
00:26:27.000 Not saying I was an angel my whole life, but that was not my thing.
00:26:31.000 But if I was anywhere near, even Washington D.C., let alone the White House, it would have been Don Jr.'
00:26:36.000 's cocaine.
00:26:39.000 I'd argue, at least alive, the world's most famous Coke-slash-crackhead
00:26:47.000 What I'd love to do, though, is just, if I were given the chance, and there's some times where I always just wish I had the opportunity to interview, you know, some of these people who are on, like, the other side of the Hunter laptop, right?
00:27:03.000 So it's like, we talk about the FBI, Chris Wray, we're all mad at them, and it's like,
00:27:07.000 Okay, whatever.
00:27:07.000 We're grilling him.
00:27:08.000 I don't want to grill the FBI anymore.
00:27:12.000 I want people in jail.
00:27:14.000 I want people to prosecute him.
00:27:15.000 They're lying, and they're corrupted, and we know.
00:27:19.000 We've seen that.
00:27:19.000 We saw how many FBI people lied before Congress.
00:27:23.000 You know, whether, you know, the former heads and some of the agents and the Strokes of the world and the Brennans of the world, like, these are some of the most powerful people in federal law enforcement or government, and it's like, oh, like, you lie?
00:27:35.000 Oh, like, no big deal.
00:27:36.000 And we, as powerful as the memes are of Comey and Stroke and McCabe and...
00:27:42.000 And they have!
00:27:43.000 As of January 6th.
00:27:43.000 And they have!
00:28:00.000 What I, and it's actually quite frustrating to me, like I saw, I sort of crapped on Lindsey Graham last week, because I call balls and strikes even if it's RISO, he's like, the most important thing we can do is keep spending trillions of dollars, I'm like, for what end?
00:28:12.000 He goes, the Republicans, I go, wait, wait, wait, I've traveled the entire country.
00:28:16.000 I see a lot of Republicans.
00:28:18.000 Why is it that the only Republicans that support a never-ending war in Ukraine that could possibly lead to nuclear war with Russia all reside in, like, the United States Senate?
00:28:27.000 Like, there's not one?
00:28:28.000 Not one?
00:28:30.000 Maybe a couple in Congress.
00:28:31.000 You know, the Ryanos.
00:28:32.000 But outside of the halls of Congress, I have yet to meet a Republican.
00:28:38.000 Who thinks Ukraine is a top 10 issue, let alone the number one issue?
00:28:42.000 So, I mean, you do events all over the place, I do events all over the place.
00:28:46.000 I've never had anyone come up to me at an event and say, what are we doing for, you know, are we fighting back?
00:28:53.000 It just doesn't happen.
00:28:54.000 And in fact, according to the latest Echelon Insights, that as of when we're recording this, came out this week, you know where Ukraine actually stood on the list of priorities for voters?
00:29:07.000 And this is voters.
00:29:07.000 This is not Republican voters.
00:29:09.000 Number 17.
00:29:09.000 It's all voters.
00:29:11.000 It was, like, the bottom of the list, and there were a couple people who just felt, like, admittedly felt bad.
00:29:17.000 I think we all feel bad.
00:29:18.000 Well, my father feels bad.
00:29:20.000 Everyone feels bad.
00:29:20.000 He's like, hey, I just want the death to stop.
00:29:23.000 Right.
00:29:23.000 And that was a controversial position, because you should want- He broke the frame.
00:29:26.000 He broke the frame.
00:29:27.000 You're supposed to want every Russian, apparently, to die.
00:29:30.000 I guess that was the Caitlin Collins, like, CNN answer, like, what do you mean?
00:29:35.000 Who do you want to win?
00:29:36.000 Do you not want- I was like, no, like, winning to him is, like, just
00:29:43.000 What Tucker got into, I think, in questioning Pence after his trip to Ukraine recently was a very, very important issue.
00:29:57.000 Because Tucker said something to Pence, and what I'm not going to say is an attack on Pence, it's just sort of that establishment mindset.
00:30:07.000 He said to Pence, what about the persecution of Christians in Ukraine?
00:30:10.000 And the Christian element here.
00:30:10.000 Yeah.
00:30:12.000 And Penn said, well, I spoke to someone who's a church leader there and said it didn't happen.
00:30:12.000 Yeah.
00:30:16.000 But he was like a Zelinsky-aligned cleric.
00:30:18.000 And it was like a Zelinsky guy that he talked to.
00:30:21.000 And it's to say, do you even understand the issues that we're talking about?
00:30:26.000 Do you even understand the primacy of what the Russian Orthodox Church means in Eastern Europe, the Church of Constantinople, the background?
00:30:36.000 I mean, that wasn't even the worst soundbite for Pence, unfortunately.
00:30:39.000 But I guess what I mean to say, though, is... But that one stood out to me in the sense that it showed
00:30:39.000 No, no.
00:30:49.000 He has no background.
00:30:51.000 I'm like, wait a minute.
00:30:53.000 If you're the vice president, you should at least understand that, hey, there's probably going to be undue influence.
00:30:59.000 He's the one who kept saying, I went over there with Samaritan's Purse and I was with my wife and then I went over again and I met Zelinsky and I keep going.
00:31:07.000 He was the one who was bringing it up as if he was some big expert because he's traveled there.
00:31:12.000 So Tucker asks a basic question about the inter-Christian narrative that's going on here, and they don't even talk about it.
00:31:21.000 They don't point out that this is a war of Christian on Christian at the same time.
00:31:26.000 So why would I want more Christians dead?
00:31:28.000 Why would I want more dead Christians, even if they happen to be born on this side of the line or that side, they're still Christian, right?
00:31:34.000 And so Tucker comes to it from a Christian perspective, and you could tell that Pence, he hadn't even considered that angle.
00:31:42.000 It was, as your point, that if you're Russian, if you're born on that side of this river, then you have to die.
00:31:49.000 And as you know, that's not how it works over there, especially in Ukraine.
00:31:51.000 And because the lines change every five minutes over there.
00:31:54.000 Well, not even the lines.
00:31:56.000 But the history, the lineage... Well, that's what I mean.
00:32:00.000 Half the people in Ukraine consider themselves at least significantly Russian.
00:32:05.000 And they speak Russian.
00:32:06.000 It was like, I'm Czech, and so that was my background growing up there in the summers in Eastern Europe.
00:32:12.000 You had Czechoslovakia.
00:32:13.000 We're good to go.
00:32:31.000 These are the same people.
00:32:32.000 They're walking across the line.
00:32:33.000 Maybe there's a little different accent or a different dialect, but I speak fluent Czech and I can go this low.
00:32:38.000 I can just have a conversation like I would anywhere else.
00:32:41.000 I mean, I'm sure there's similar stuff like that in Poland.
00:32:44.000 Yeah, it's all very similar.
00:32:45.000 And then you can get to Poland.
00:32:47.000 People don't understand.
00:32:48.000 They have a root language.
00:32:49.000 This isn't, you know, US versus Russia, you know, divided by the Atlantic Ocean.
00:32:49.000 Yeah.
00:32:55.000 It's not even close.
00:32:56.000 And so this is where people, and what struck me though was that Tucker asked a basic question about something that Pence was essentially claiming to have expertise in because of his visits and because of his travels.
00:33:11.000 And so Tucker said, you know, essentially, what do you think about this internecine religious schism that's going on?
00:33:18.000 And Pence was clueless.
00:33:20.000 He was clueless.
00:33:21.000 And so if he didn't even understand that, then does he understand the difference in the borders, the fighting?
00:33:27.000 Well, it also seems like he was manipulated into.
00:33:29.000 Exactly.
00:33:30.000 And that's, like I said, it wasn't even the end.
00:33:32.000 And it's not a Pence thing, it's all of them.
00:33:34.000 They're all like this.
00:33:35.000 If you were the Vice President of the United States, you should understand the way the real world works a little bit, and that's maybe show the naivete.
00:33:40.000 Especially if we're going to go ahead and get involved in a war there, and decide that we're going to pick winners and losers, you'd think that, I don't know, maybe we'd take a little time to understand it is who we're killing.
00:33:55.000 I'll be charitable because what I think happened was
00:34:16.000 I think he had had that soundbite with his staff.
00:34:20.000 That was like a pre-planned soundbite that they wanted to get out.
00:34:24.000 And what he was trying to do, I believe, just as a guy who's worked in politics, he was trying to diffuse Tucker's argument of saying that, you know, if you're focusing on Ukraine, you're not focusing on cities.
00:34:37.000 I think that was the plan.
00:34:39.000 But where he screwed up was not actually listening to what Tucker was saying, and not responding to the specific question that Tucker asked.
00:34:48.000 He had the pre-baked answer, so he wanted to run with it, but it didn't work with the question that was actually asked.
00:34:54.000 We all thought that the worst debate appearance ever by Mike Pence was the time that he spent an entire debate with Kamala Harris with an insect.
00:35:15.000 Attached to his head.
00:35:17.000 And we all thought, well, surely this is the worst Pence could ever do in a debate.
00:35:21.000 No one could ever come out from that.
00:35:23.000 But he found a way.
00:35:25.000 He somehow found a way to actually go deeper than the fly.
00:35:29.000 And I have to say, I guess the fly was right.
00:35:32.000 I guess the fly, because in the same vein where he wasn't having enough self-awareness to know there was a fly on his head, he didn't have the self-awareness to know that Tucker was asking him to just
00:35:45.000 Do the main thing, the one main thing, and this is where people say, with Trump, why do you guys like this guy?
00:35:51.000 He's a billionaire.
00:35:52.000 He's from New York.
00:35:53.000 He's a real estate guy.
00:35:54.000 What do you evangelicals have in common with him?
00:35:57.000 And he's, you know, your family values guy, and he's got a different track record, to say the least, you know, and et cetera, et cetera.
00:36:03.000 It doesn't seem like it would be a myth.
00:36:04.000 Why would you like this guy?
00:36:06.000 And it's because, it's because he's authentic and because he shows he cares.
00:36:12.000 Yeah.
00:36:13.000 That's it.
00:36:13.000 That's literally it!
00:36:15.000 And I get in trouble for it.
00:36:16.000 I actually say that Trump's biggest political liability is actually that he's sometimes unwilling to actually show the emotional side of himself.
00:36:26.000 Because he says, hey, how can I be sensitive and caring here, but then tomorrow I've got to go to China and deal with those lunatics.
00:36:31.000 I actually agree with you.
00:36:32.000 I actually completely agree with you.
00:36:33.000 But the bigger problem is, because I know he actually has that side.
00:36:37.000 Yeah.
00:36:37.000 As a guy that, not just because I'm his son, but because I've seen the way he is with employees, or people who've gotten sick around him, or the guy that's just had a bad break and he takes care of, like, he has that side.
00:36:48.000 So it's different in terms of political liability.
00:36:50.000 There are people who are incapable of that.
00:36:53.000 I'll actually, maybe we'll talk about Ron DeSantis with a little bit of some of this.
00:36:56.000 Like, sort of incapable of that inner personal skill,
00:36:59.000 Some of his most powerful videos, I think,
00:37:16.000 I think.
00:37:33.000 You know, somebody, you know, comes up as a waiter or something, boom, $100, $100 bill just right off the roll.
00:37:39.000 Like that's Trump style, right?
00:37:40.000 That's just $100.
00:37:41.000 And those are the things that people remember.
00:37:45.000 And I remember there was and there was one that just happened a couple of weeks ago.
00:37:48.000 I want to say it was South Carolina could be wrong, but he was at the Waffle House.
00:37:53.000 And he walked in and he's doing, you know, and he's got the entourage and secret service, and there was a woman sitting there in a wheelchair, a handicapped woman in a wheelchair.
00:38:02.000 He stopped everything.
00:38:03.000 And you could tell, you know, Jason and Steve were like, Mr. President, come on, we gotta go, we gotta time, we gotta do this, you know, photo op, we gotta get on the plane.
00:38:11.000 He stopped everything and he went over to the woman in the wheelchair.
00:38:15.000 Yeah, of course.
00:38:15.000 That ain't easy.
00:38:25.000 The President of the United States willing to come down and just give her the time of day and shake her hand.
00:38:31.000 And I'm telling you, there isn't a talking point or a policy point or a meme or a hashtag, anything that's ever going to be able to break that.
00:38:40.000 There just never will be.
00:38:41.000 And so when people say, oh, we're going to do Trumpism without Trump and we're going to bring up someone else to be the new Trump without the... It's not so easy.
00:38:49.000 People have figured that out.
00:38:50.000 You can't break that.
00:38:51.000 I always talk about the fast food stuff because it's like, you know, the South Carolina...
00:38:55.000 Hey, will you pray with me?
00:38:58.000 And then, what's interesting is then, you're right, they're trying to emulate it.
00:39:02.000 DeSantis then goes to Dairy Queen to try to, and it's like, it's so cringe.
00:39:07.000 The dueling Dairy Queens, man.
00:39:09.000 It's so cringe.
00:39:10.000 Don't try to copy the same thing that somebody else is doing.
00:39:15.000 Just be yourself.
00:39:17.000 Be authentic.
00:39:18.000 I actually said something about this.
00:39:19.000 So Trump goes to Dairy Queen and he has this hugely viral moment, it goes crazy, and he jokes, he's like,
00:39:26.000 Blizzards!
00:39:26.000 Everybody went to Blizzard.
00:39:28.000 What the hell's a Blizzard?
00:39:29.000 And everybody cracks up.
00:39:30.000 Because it's just funny that here's a guy and he's known for like the fast food has always kind of been part of the brand.
00:39:35.000 Yeah, I mean he can recite the McDonald's menu.
00:39:36.000 He's like the billionaire who goes to McDonald's, right?
00:39:39.000 No one's gonna pretend like Trump doesn't do fast food.
00:39:41.000 It was like blue-collar billionaire, right?
00:39:43.000 That was the kind of, you know, thing.
00:39:45.000 He's got, you know, the private, you know, 737, but he's got McDonald's and KFC and a steak with ketchup, etc.
00:39:51.000 But,
00:39:53.000 Him not knowing what a blizzard is so funny because he just owns it.
00:39:56.000 He just owns everything about himself.
00:39:58.000 He just owns it.
00:39:59.000 And then when DeSantis went to copy it, which was just odd, right?
00:40:05.000 Why would you go see a farmer?
00:40:06.000 Go do something different, right?
00:40:09.000 Something, anything.
00:40:10.000 And then he goes in and he had that line that he goes, well, you know.
00:40:16.000 I tell you what, I've known what blizzards are for some time.
00:40:20.000 It's like, what?
00:40:23.000 It just comes across as so weird.
00:40:24.000 It's so bad.
00:40:25.000 It's because you like food so much?
00:40:28.000 What, do you want a cookie for that?
00:40:30.000 I don't even mean it as a personal attack.
00:40:31.000 I like blizzards.
00:40:38.000 I get places for my kids in the summer, because that's what you do.
00:40:40.000 But you're running a campaign for President of the United States, and you need to make moves on the chessboard.
00:40:45.000 And I don't think they know how to read the room.
00:40:47.000 I don't think they understand the hierarchy that's going on.
00:40:50.000 I don't think they understand that it's like Ric Flair, man.
00:40:53.000 Well, it's also catering to the donor base, right?
00:40:55.000 I mean, Tucker brought that up.
00:40:57.000 Now, I'll say this.
00:40:59.000 You know DeSantis didn't have a great debate because there's no clips of him owning something.
00:41:04.000 So this is the forum.
00:41:05.000 This is the forum.
00:41:06.000 So this is a week ago.
00:41:07.000 But there's no clips out there of him owning something.
00:41:10.000 They're trying to do something with it.
00:41:13.000 And the reality is, it's hard to believe, and I have a hard time even saying this because, man, no one dislikes the neocons more than me, but Nikki Haley had a better day than him.
00:41:21.000 She did.
00:41:22.000 But more importantly, and I'd like to get your opinion on this, like, DeSantis was like the last guy to go.
00:41:27.000 So Tucker's like seven, nine hours into this thing, tired, and... He's there all day.
00:41:32.000 DeSantis had the benefit of watching the mistakes that everyone else made throughout the day.
00:41:36.000 You remember the cone of silence they used to do?
00:41:38.000 The cone of silence.
00:41:38.000 He was in the cone of silence.
00:41:39.000 You almost had to put him in the box, you know, the noise, because he had the ability with a team... Put him in the cone!
00:41:45.000 Guys have been getting paid millions to figure out, like, OK, this is the mistake that Ace Somme, this is the mistake that Tim Somme, this is the mistake that... Because you don't want to get Tucker.
00:41:53.000 You don't want to get Tucker and you don't need to get somebody.
00:41:55.000 And yet he had all of that and all day to prepare.
00:41:58.000 And I don't know if Tucker was tired or not, but anyone would be tired at the end of the day.
00:42:03.000 So it may not be the same edge or killer that you have.
00:42:08.000 Not one standout moment.
00:42:09.000 It would have been so easy.
00:42:10.000 If I were him, I'd be dunking on all the guys that went before me, picking on the things that they made a mistake of, and he didn't or was not capable of doing that.
00:42:17.000 I'd like to quote the great citizen philosopher
00:42:23.000 Nature Boy Ric Flair.
00:42:24.000 And Nature Boy Ric Flair, as my father always taught me watching the old, you know, Royal Rumbles and everything, he had the most perfect line about this and he said, you gotta be the man to beat the man.
00:42:37.000 You gotta be the man to beat the man.
00:42:40.000 Woo.
00:42:43.000 And what does that mean, though?
00:42:45.000 It's you must rise to the level.
00:42:47.000 And you're never going to beat the champ if you don't work your way up the ranks, work your way up the ladder.
00:42:53.000 When Ric Flair came in as the number three in that Royal Rumble and then went on to win, when he could barely stand up while throwing the last guy out, right?
00:43:02.000 Because he'd fought everyone.
00:43:04.000 And you could say, oh, well, it's fixed.
00:43:07.000 Whatever, he physically had to do that.
00:43:09.000 He physically had to do that.
00:43:11.000 That's what made everybody love Ric Flair, because he was willing to go further than anyone has ever gone before.
00:43:17.000 And if you could just get up on that stage and you say, OK, I'm going to beat Trump, it's like, look.
00:43:22.000 If you want to beat Trump, fine, but you've got to come.
00:43:25.000 You've got to come hard.
00:43:26.000 You've got to be throwing haymakers.
00:43:27.000 You've got to get in the face.
00:43:28.000 You've got to get in the grill.
00:43:29.000 Just because the establishment donors are giving you a lot of money doesn't mean it just happens.
00:43:32.000 You don't just get to make little jokes about Dairy Queen.
00:43:36.000 You've got to go hard.
00:43:37.000 So what do you think his policy is on Ukraine?
00:43:43.000 It seemed like he almost just lied to Tucker.
00:43:45.000 I didn't really change my mind.
00:43:46.000 It's pretty clear what you said, literally, when Tucker was still on Fox.
00:43:49.000 And then two days later, he comes out and corrects it.
00:43:51.000 With Piers Morgan.
00:43:51.000 Yeah, with Piers Morgan.
00:43:53.000 Because, you know, one or many of the, you know, let's call it the Bush donors were like, no, no, no.
00:43:59.000 Feels like there was a phone call in between those, you know.
00:44:02.000 But then he's like pretending like he never even said it.
00:44:04.000 It's like, so what is his actual policy there?
00:44:07.000 Or do we not actually know?
00:44:08.000 Is the policy whatever it takes to get elected and then
00:44:12.000 Then ultimately, it would be whatever the swamp tells you to do.
00:44:15.000 He used an interesting phrase.
00:44:17.000 He said something about, well, if you want to do military, like, do military?
00:44:24.000 You were in the military.
00:44:25.000 What is do military?
00:44:26.000 What are you talking about?
00:44:28.000 Where's your comment on, and I guess he did say he was against putting US, they all say we're against putting US troops, but the fact of the matter is that Joe Biden is now sending 3,000 US troops to the theater.
00:44:38.000 Right, to the theater.
00:44:39.000 Because I remember when the advisors and trainers, well I don't remember, but I remember in history when they were sent to Vietnam, and this is how it started.
00:44:47.000 At first it was 500 trainers, then it was 900, then it was a couple thousand, and then suddenly there was a surprise attack called the Gulf of Tokyo, and then suddenly, well we have to respond to the attack, and then boom, you have something called Vietnam.
00:45:00.000 But it's different because Vietnam didn't have 6,000 nuclear missiles.
00:45:04.000 That's right.
00:45:04.000 Like, that's kind of a big deal.
00:45:05.000 That's right.
00:45:07.000 Again, the entire Republican support for the war happens to reside in the United States Senate.
00:45:13.000 I'm still trying to figure that one out.
00:45:14.000 Because these are people that were sent there by Americans who...
00:45:19.000 Again, it's not a top ten issue for them, and yet it's a top one issue for the Lindsey Grahams.
00:45:24.000 Well, so here's what DeSantis was attempting to do, and this is why he came out with the vague answer as opposed to a full throat.
00:45:33.000 Like, you contrast that with like a Vivek, right?
00:45:35.000 Whereas Vivek Ramaswamy, who's a guy that, to my knowledge, has no foreign policy chops at all.
00:45:41.000 Like, he's not like a Rick Grinnell, you know?
00:45:43.000 Not that hard either.
00:45:59.000 That sounds like a pretty good plan, right?
00:46:01.000 But the issue that DeSantis has on his hands is that he's attempting to do both, where he's attempting to court some level of the realist, MAGA, America First voters that don't want anything to do with Ukraine at the same time as keep a hold of, as you correctly, I believe, solved that question of
00:46:26.000 Keeping the donors happy.
00:46:28.000 So how do you court the populists and keep the neocon donors in the military industrial complex happy?
00:46:34.000 You kind of, well, essentially the idea is you try to not anger either side.
00:46:39.000 And the only way to do that is to basically give no answer.
00:46:42.000 And that's what essentially he walked himself into, a place where, and look, this has always been an issue with governors when they run for president because they don't have foreign policy experience.
00:46:54.000 This is something that we're, and you remember when John Kerry ran, when Joe Biden, in his multiple attempts to run, has always said, well, we've got foreign policy experience.
00:47:02.000 We've got foreign policy experience.
00:47:04.000 But to this, this is a huge issue for Governor DeSantis, because he'll say things like, we need to be worried about China.
00:47:12.000 Like, okay, sure, we're worried about China, but where's your plan?
00:47:15.000 Trump had no foreign policy experience, but as a business guy who had done things, it's like, well, guess what?
00:47:20.000 Peace deal done in the Middle East.
00:47:22.000 If any of the D.C.
00:47:23.000 swamp people ever got a peace deal done in the Middle East, they would be Nobel laureates.
00:47:29.000 They would win every prize.
00:47:30.000 That was the holy grail of foreign policy.
00:47:33.000 You've got the Abraham Accord.
00:47:34.000 And this is what, when I, so I had Grinnell on Human Events, award winning podcast, that week, sure actually.
00:47:41.000 I think so.
00:47:57.000 The Middle East.
00:47:58.000 Then you had Grinnell was deployed out where?
00:48:01.000 Kosovo, Albania, Serbia.
00:48:05.000 He was looking at this.
00:48:06.000 So he would send his direct envoy, one of his top guys, obviously, to go deal with that.
00:48:10.000 You know, the Balkans.
00:48:12.000 Something easy.
00:48:12.000 As a side job.
00:48:15.000 Then he directly, as we all know, got involved with what?
00:48:19.000 North Korea.
00:48:20.000 So North Korea was what Barack Obama had said.
00:48:23.000 Obama said this and wrote a letter to Trump coming in that North Korea is the number one threat in the world.
00:48:29.000 He didn't say Russia, he didn't say China.
00:48:30.000 My father told me that.
00:48:30.000 He was sort of surprised.
00:48:31.000 Right.
00:48:32.000 And he was like, listen, I sat with Obama and he's like, this is what he told me.
00:48:34.000 And I was like, really?
00:48:36.000 And I can kind of imagine how it ended.
00:48:37.000 And it's been reported on.
00:48:38.000 Otherwise, he said, well, this is the number one threat.
00:48:40.000 Get a guy on the phone.
00:48:42.000 Yeah.
00:48:42.000 Call him up.
00:48:43.000 Let's get it.
00:48:43.000 And then you see the letters between Kim and Biden.
00:48:46.000 But you also saw the reaction from the swamp, which was like, oh, Trump's doing it all wrong.
00:48:50.000 I'm like, why?
00:48:51.000 Like, why is it wrong?
00:48:53.000 You've been there for 40 years and you've gotten jack shit accomplished.
00:48:56.000 Exactly.
00:48:56.000 But Trump's wrong taking a different approach.
00:48:58.000 And then in about two weeks, he gets it done.
00:49:00.000 It's like, oh, well, you know, we could have done that.
00:49:02.000 Why didn't you do it?
00:49:04.000 You can see the levers and the chess pieces moving around, and then where's his first foreign policy trip?
00:49:10.000 Saudi Arabia, right?
00:49:11.000 He goes to the Middle East, and he says, and this is what led to the Abraham Accords, he goes there and says, look, ISIS and the refugees and everything that's coming out of here, it's our problem, yes, but it's your problem first, because this is your backyard.
00:49:25.000 And he put the onus on them, as opposed to the forever wars of the neocons, and said, you guys deal with that.
00:49:31.000 And I'll support you, I'll give you the intel, whatever it is, but this is your fight, you deal with the mess, you clean up your own mess.
00:49:37.000 And he put that on them.
00:49:38.000 And by the way, you're not gonna get any of these weapon sales, et cetera, if you don't do it.
00:49:42.000 Then, he makes a direct pitch with North Korea, he was working on the China deal, and of course, we saw, and I was in the room in Helsinki, when he was working on this essentially rapprochement
00:49:52.000 We're good.
00:50:07.000 And our role should not be the last thing we should ever want to do is to get the other two superpowers aligned against us, which is exactly what we've done.
00:50:18.000 It's exactly what we've done.
00:50:19.000 That's the Biden doctrine at this point.
00:50:20.000 I mean, whether it's from a currency standpoint, whether it's from a military standpoint, I mean, like you literally.
00:50:25.000 They can't compete against us.
00:50:26.000 I mean, our sanctions backfired, made the dollar weaker and, you know, taking things away from, you know, a dollar-based, you know, sort of system.
00:50:36.000 This is BRICS.
00:50:37.000 You're talking about BRICS.
00:50:38.000 Yeah, I mean, this is a disaster for us.
00:50:40.000 So you've got the G7 and BRICS.
00:50:42.000 The United States lives so far beyond its means because it is able to borrow.
00:50:47.000 Yes.
00:50:48.000 At pretty good rates.
00:50:53.000 $20 million to Pakistan for gender studies!
00:50:56.000 Because we're fucking morons.
00:50:58.000 But we do that, and we're able to do that because of that borrowing capacity.
00:51:02.000 You lose the petrodollar, you lose that status as that reserve currency, and that's over.
00:51:06.000 That may actually be a good thing.
00:51:08.000 Not for our economy or anything like that, but it may at least eliminate some of the nonsense, because we will not have the money to fund the woke bullshit that's out there.
00:51:15.000 What we've done that's so stupid is we've driven China and Russia together, whereas it should be the obvious policy of the United States foreign affairs establishment to separate them.
00:51:32.000 No, of course not.
00:51:46.000 Yeah.
00:51:46.000 Right?
00:51:47.000 We all hate ISIS.
00:51:48.000 Let's kill them together.
00:51:49.000 Why not?
00:51:50.000 Why not do that?
00:51:52.000 You know, maybe we have disagreements in other parts of the Middle East.
00:51:54.000 ISIS, Middle East peace, Middle East security.
00:51:56.000 But like, our media and the Democrat complex created that.
00:51:59.000 Oh, anything that Trump did that was even remotely, you know, right?
00:52:01.000 Oh, it's collusion, obviously.
00:52:02.000 They have something on him.
00:52:04.000 It's like...
00:52:05.000 They set us back decades and probably cost us a lot in the future.
00:52:11.000 They accelerated the timeline for China to take over the world.
00:52:15.000 Where are you going to go?
00:52:16.000 You're going to go to China.
00:52:17.000 And so this puts Russia and China together, so that breathes new life into BRICS.
00:52:22.000 And then the only other outlier on that was India.
00:52:27.000 Outside of Shinzo Abe, right?
00:52:29.000 The great Shinzo Abe.
00:52:30.000 It's so horrible what happened to him.
00:52:32.000 But outside of Shinzo Abe, I think the greatest relationship that Trump had with any foreign leader was Modi.
00:52:38.000 You knew exactly where he was going.
00:52:40.000 You could see it.
00:52:40.000 I mean, I couldn't believe it.
00:52:42.000 I did all our
00:52:45.000 India deals, when we were a real estate company and stuff like that.
00:52:48.000 I've been there a whole bunch of times.
00:52:49.000 I understand how it works.
00:52:50.000 And I mean, that was actually a legitimately amazing relationship.
00:52:53.000 And of course, why wouldn't you be?
00:52:55.000 You know that China's going to be the threat.
00:52:57.000 Who's the country that can actually balance some of that out with a comparable-sized population and industrial capability and all that stuff?
00:53:05.000 And it's India.
00:53:06.000 And they're slated to overtake at a comparable pace to China in terms of growth economically.
00:53:11.000 Which, by the way, Russia understands.
00:53:12.000 This is why Russia is working with Iran to build a pipeline to India right now, because they understand that the only way that BRICS, if you look at it from the perspective of BRICS, the only way for BRICS to work is if you balance out India and China, who hate each other, but if you can balance them against each other, then the whole thing can rise together.
00:53:32.000 So if we were serious and we wanted the G7 to compete, you'd want to court India.
00:53:39.000 You'd want to peel away Russia.
00:53:41.000 You'd want to break up the military alliances.
00:53:43.000 You were going to do all of these things.
00:53:44.000 We're doing the opposite.
00:53:46.000 We're doing the exact opposite.
00:53:47.000 We demonize India.
00:53:48.000 Well, we're demonizing.
00:53:49.000 We're creating serious enemies.
00:53:51.000 We're fighting the proxy war in Russia.
00:53:53.000 I mean, do you think that even in the swamp now, though,
00:53:55.000 There's an element of fatigue with Zelensky.
00:53:58.000 It's never enough.
00:53:59.000 We're always around the corner.
00:54:00.000 Every time, you know, if they take out one Russian tank, you know, they lose four cities and it's crickets.
00:54:09.000 You know, they take out one Russian tank and now it's the Ukrainian offensive.
00:54:12.000 They're taking it all back.
00:54:13.000 I mean, it seems like, I mean, this is the greatest PSYOP in the history of the world, but that people could watch what happened in America over the last six or seven years and believe anything that's being said
00:54:23.000 I mean, there's no cure for that level of stupidity at this point.
00:54:26.000 So, is there a fatigue?
00:54:28.000 Is there a point where we say, enough is enough?
00:54:30.000 Or is that just the difference between the swamp and what you or I may believe is sort of a MAGA strategy for what's going on?
00:54:38.000 It's such a good question because of course you have to try to determine how much of this is a true belief on the behalf of the Foreign Policy Establishment, the BLOB, the State Department, etc.
00:54:53.000 How much of this is Zelensky, he's an actor, playing a role, of course he was one of the top names in the Panama Papers, so there are questions that people have had, is he just being paid off, is this a role?
00:55:05.000 The answer is, of course he is, in a way.
00:55:07.000 But, you know, I really do think about those images that came out of him at that NATO summit.
00:55:14.000 That's why I ask it, because it seemed like
00:55:17.000 You gotta be this tall to ride on the ride, and he's not making it.
00:55:20.000 I made the pro wrestling reference earlier, kind of like, there's a phrase they have in wrestling called breaking kayfabe, where, so that's sort of like, you're putting on a show, but sometimes you break and show behind the curtain.
00:55:33.000 Yeah.
00:55:33.000 I don't even know you played it.
00:55:48.000 What does that mean?
00:55:49.000 So if we let him into NATO, that's why I didn't understand the Lindsey Graham thing.
00:55:52.000 It's like, we're gonna let him in and give him a path to NATO and go, wait a minute.
00:55:55.000 So like, you know, I get we've been in a proxy war.
00:55:57.000 I get we've spent billions of dollars.
00:55:59.000 But we're gonna let them join NATO while they're in an active conflict?
00:56:03.000 Like we are then obligated
00:56:06.000 Obligated to fight a war with Russia?
00:56:09.000 Are we out of our fucking minds?
00:56:22.000 We're good to go.
00:56:41.000 Yeah, I know.
00:57:02.000 The child sex trafficking trade, and the left went nuts.
00:57:07.000 They went nuts that Trump would look at this thing like, are you serious?
00:57:11.000 Isn't that something we can all agree is a problem?
00:57:13.000 And it thrives off of destabilization.
00:57:16.000 So if you can destabilize a region, if you can destabilize the Middle East, boom, then you got this, and you get the refugee crisis, you get the migrant crisis.
00:57:23.000 If you destabilize Ukraine, boom, refugees, boom, migrant crisis, which always becomes
00:57:30.000 Well, is that why, like, defense of borders is such a low priority for so many of these Western countries?
00:57:38.000 Because there is that depraved element there.
00:57:41.000 And if you have that, it just makes, dude, there's some sick people no matter where you are.
00:57:45.000 And probably, you know, it's evidence.
00:57:47.000 I mean, the numbers are real.
00:57:48.000 The stories are real.
00:57:49.000 Even if it was one-tenth the problem that it actually is, it should still be a priority for us to look into.
00:57:56.000 If they said, you know, wearing a mask, if it saves just one life, we're going to inconvenience the entire world.
00:58:02.000 So if it saved just one kid, wouldn't that be the same?
00:58:05.000 And this is where I come down on it.
00:58:08.000 Normally I would say, I couldn't believe it, I would say no.
00:58:11.000 Normally I would say no.
00:58:13.000 But then I found out about Jeffrey Epstein.
00:58:15.000 Yeah.
00:58:15.000 Right?
00:58:16.000 And then once we found out about Jeffrey Epstein and the fact that this could operate at such a high level, I think it fundamentally changes the nature of how we understand international relations, international actions.
00:58:27.000 And so just going back to Ukraine for a second, that if you actually care about the people of Ukraine, you would stop lying to them about the fact that they're going to get NATO protections and NATO security.
00:58:37.000 It's not happening.
00:58:37.000 It's never coming.
00:58:38.000 But it's so far beyond that, Jack.
00:58:40.000 All the men have to stay and fight and die against a much more powerful nation.
00:58:44.000 Listen, I think you could say Russia's underperforming perhaps what we all thought they would do.
00:58:48.000 I think they're holding back.
00:58:50.000 But I think they're also holding back.
00:58:51.000 You know why they're holding back, in my opinion?
00:58:53.000 Because of those similarities.
00:58:55.000 Putin doesn't want to go kill people that are essentially just like him, but they're being forced, the men are being forced to fight.
00:59:01.000 And if you watch interviews with any Russian troops, this is what they all say.
00:59:03.000 The women are being sent into Western Europe where they're going to become someone's wife in France.
00:59:08.000 It's like, you literally see The Globalist being like, we just bought a really big fucking farm, and we're gonna own it, we're gonna control the food supply for all of Europe.
00:59:17.000 This isn't a conspiracy anymore because we've been watching it play out.
00:59:20.000 There's no other logical explanation.
00:59:22.000 It's like the carcass of a whale, and they're just, they're picking, you know, like the carrion, they're picking off the bones.
00:59:27.000 No one's going back.
00:59:28.000 To what?
00:59:29.000 Are they gonna go back to rubble?
00:59:32.000 No one's coming back, and it seems like- Well, you know who is gonna come back.
00:59:35.000 Black Rock, Blackstone, the IMF.
00:59:39.000 They're going to own the world's largest farm called the Ukraine.
00:59:45.000 The men will all be dead.
00:59:48.000 The city is burned to the ground.
00:59:49.000 They don't care.
00:59:49.000 They want the ag land.
00:59:50.000 And the women and children left to go to Western Europe.
00:59:55.000 That's your lab-grown meat, that's your GMO, all of that, it's all gonna come right from that land, which used to be, right, the breadbasket of the world, the healthiest food in the world, was coming from this area.
01:00:07.000 A lot of that food that goes across Europe, that goes down to Africa, etc., the grain deals that they keep trying to talk about, that's because this is what Ukraine is.
01:00:15.000 It is Ukraine and Belarus just north of it, and then Poland is just to the west a little bit more, like, again, across the river, right?
01:00:22.000 Yeah.
01:00:42.000 I think I see why Napoleon thought he could make it.
01:00:45.000 Yeah, but it's so big, and people don't realize Russia as a country is three times the land mass of the U.S.
01:00:52.000 Because once you get there, you're surrounded by Russia.
01:00:54.000 Correct.
01:00:55.000 And that's the problem.
01:00:55.000 And it's brutal.
01:00:56.000 There's nothing there in between.
01:00:58.000 A thousand miles in and rough winters.
01:01:00.000 Napoleon learned that the hard way.
01:01:01.000 And I would say, Hitler came the closest with Stalingrad because if you look at the geography, and not to get too nerdy about the maps, but if you look at the geography, the Volga River, right?
01:01:10.000 This is the heartland river of Russia.
01:01:12.000 They know that.
01:01:13.000 It's the river.
01:01:13.000 It's all their myths and histories of the Vikings coming down the Volga, etc.
01:01:17.000 If you can separate the Volga from the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, you can essentially cut off Moscow from what?
01:01:24.000 The Caucasus.
01:01:25.000 So if you cut them off from the Caucasus, you cut them off from the Middle East, you cut them off from the oil supply, this is what Hitler was trying to do.
01:01:30.000 This is why he sent the Wehrmacht and so many people that he thought, if I can cut them out, then eventually I can knock the Soviet Union out of the war.
01:01:38.000 And if he had knocked the Soviet Union out of the war,
01:01:41.000 Then maybe not immediately, but eventually it would have got to the point where they'd be starved out.
01:01:46.000 This was why this and that.
01:01:48.000 And if you look at where Stalingrad is on the map, it's not very far from where Donbass is right now.
01:01:54.000 So we're just fighting the same wars over and over on the exact same territory.
01:01:59.000 And it's, you know, from their perspective, it's just, well, the West is coming again.
01:02:02.000 Oh, look, they're sending German tanks again.
01:02:05.000 Gee, where have we seen this before?
01:02:07.000 Here we go again!
01:02:09.000 It repeats itself.
01:02:10.000 The more things change, the more they stay the same.
01:02:12.000 Alright, so let's change topics a little bit.
01:02:14.000 ABC News put out an article this week that it was sort of like, as if I needed another reason to sort of be supportive of Trump.
01:02:21.000 Now obviously I'm a little biased, but I think I wrote it down here.
01:02:25.000 Trump's campaign pitch, quote, elect me to get revenge on the government.
01:02:31.000 They wrote it like this is this horrible thing.
01:02:34.000 I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:02:36.000 That's the greatest pitch in the history of the world.
01:02:40.000 Who could objectively look at this government and saying they're honest dealers, that there's equal justice?
01:02:45.000 I mean, it's sort of the Don Jr.
01:02:46.000 vs. Hunter, right?
01:02:48.000 No one expects any sort of level of equality or fairness.
01:02:52.000 It's the greatest campaign pitch ever, and yet the mainstream media still doesn't understand that.
01:02:57.000 They think, oh, this is terrible.
01:02:59.000 What I love about that headline is because, you know, and we were talking before about the difference between, like, authentic candidates and, like, these sort of, like, corporate candidates, career politicians.
01:03:10.000 I write my own tweets.
01:03:11.000 I know you write your own tweets.
01:03:13.000 Everybody knows.
01:03:13.000 You know why?
01:03:14.000 Because with the amount of spelling errors that I have in my tweets and, like, punctuation because I'm rushing or, like, voice to text.
01:03:20.000 And then everybody knows.
01:03:21.000 I couldn't pay someone to do that.
01:03:22.000 No.
01:03:22.000 And everybody knows that your dad wrote his own tweets and truths, and everybody knows that.
01:03:26.000 So, what's amazing, though, is about this ABC headline, it's such a perfect tweet.
01:03:33.000 It's like, why haven't I thought to put it that way before?
01:03:35.000 I literally, I saw it, when it popped, I was like, screenshot, screenshot, Instagram, Twitter!
01:03:41.000 We all did!
01:03:41.000 Just send it, get it out there!
01:03:44.000 And there's something hilarious about ABC saying it, of course, because that gives you the negative effect, but it's like,
01:03:49.000 It's like he could just get up there at every rally and, man, save a lot of time at the rallies and just say, if you elect me, we can get revenge on the government.
01:04:00.000 Everybody good?
01:04:00.000 All right, I'm off to Michigan.
01:04:03.000 And people do do the thing, and I'd like your opinion.
01:04:05.000 Well, why didn't Trump do it the first time?
01:04:07.000 And I think, honestly, coming at it from an outsider, I just didn't expect people to be so
01:04:13.000 Not willing to do what the citizens want.
01:04:16.000 Why didn't you win the war in one day?
01:04:18.000 Couldn't you have done that in one day?
01:04:21.000 And perhaps why they have these headlines, and it scares them so much, is that now, with four years there, you understand that system.
01:04:28.000 You understand who the good guys are.
01:04:29.000 It takes a while to figure it out.
01:04:32.000 Chris Christie's out there defending Ray.
01:04:35.000 Chris Christie was the one that gave a recommendation to hire Ray, because these are all their friends, and that's what people don't understand.
01:04:41.000 When you're from the swamp, when you're part of that, when you're a congressman or a senator or even a governor, these people have all been part of your ecosystem.
01:04:50.000 You're not turning on all of them.
01:04:52.000 Now, when that ecosystem
01:04:55.000 You know, it lied to you when it impeaches you twice, when it tries to imprison you for 450 years like they're doing to Trump, when it tried to imprison your family like they tried to do to me.
01:05:03.000 You know what?
01:05:04.000 Now, you have no obligation anymore whatsoever to try to play nice, and that scares them more than anything.
01:05:09.000 When they went after—people forget the timing of this—they were going after Flynn before the inauguration even began.
01:05:17.000 They had already started going after him.
01:05:21.000 They were running sting operations in the White House week one.
01:05:25.000 Week one, there were sting operations being run on the National Security Director, National Security Advisor.
01:05:31.000 So for people to understand this, look,
01:05:35.000 The MAGA movement and the election of Trump in 2016 is the most seminal change in politics in 100 years.
01:05:44.000 Because it's the only movement anywhere in the world, with the exception, I guess I would say, of Brexit.
01:05:48.000 It's sort of the core layer of Brexit.
01:05:50.000 And they both happened the same year, so there's something to that.
01:05:53.000 These things happen, not to go all Jordan Peterson, but Jung believed in the mass unconsciousness and all this.
01:06:00.000 I would say, because I'm a believer, that there's a spiritual element to all this.
01:06:05.000 And that people were finally given a chance and a champion to fight back.
01:06:14.000 Yeah.
01:06:14.000 And so if you're gonna say, why didn't he win every battle in one day?
01:06:18.000 I would say grow up.
01:06:20.000 Just be realistic.
01:06:21.000 This thing has been around for a century.
01:06:24.000 It goes back to Woodrow Wilson and then really with the FDR administration and then after that the Clinton administration.
01:06:29.000 Well you look at the FBI.
01:06:31.000 The FBI's headquarters
01:06:33.000 It's also the ugliest building in Washington DC.
01:06:36.000 It is a complete eyesore.
01:06:53.000 I don't know.
01:07:13.000 I don't know.
01:07:32.000 For about like a month before he went, maybe like a week before he went to testify, so that when they asked him, are you wiretapping any members of Congress?
01:07:40.000 He could say, no, I'm not currently wiretapping any members of Congress.
01:07:44.000 And then he would leave and they'd go right back on.
01:07:47.000 This was, I mean, the FBI turned against our elected leaders immediately.
01:07:53.000 And then through the power of the national security state,
01:07:56.000 With the rest of the administrative state, we created this unconstitutional, unplanned for fourth branch of government, which it's not even monarchical because there's no king.
01:08:09.000 There's no there's no leader to it.
01:08:11.000 And so this is what what I think your father accurately termed the swamp.
01:08:17.000 In 2016, he gave a name to it, but it's also a perfect descriptor because a swamp has no leader or hierarchy.
01:08:25.000 It's murky, it's got crocodiles and alligators underneath it that you can't always find.
01:08:29.000 How do you fight a swamp?
01:08:31.000 You gotta drain it, right?
01:08:32.000 You have to drain it, but that takes time.
01:08:34.000 And it doesn't just go willingly.
01:08:36.000 Of course, they fight back.
01:08:38.000 And they have the capability, they're willing to abuse that power.
01:08:41.000 And they drag you into it.
01:08:43.000 So what do you think of the Chris Wray testimony last week?
01:08:46.000 I mean, that was brutal.
01:08:49.000 I feel like he's just lying to us, and if he's not, how does he not know?
01:08:53.000 I think it was ridiculous, and this was, by the way, one of the first times, and shout out to Elon,
01:09:01.000 I'm not always a fan of everything that Elon does, or a fan of all the different changes that he's made to Twitter.
01:09:06.000 But what he's done is give us a chance to actually have free speech back.
01:09:10.000 And you can't take that away from it.
01:09:11.000 And he's put $44 billion of his own money on the line for that.
01:09:14.000 So credit where it's due, 100%.
01:09:17.000 And so we were actually able to community note the FBI for the first time ever.
01:09:21.000 I saw that.
01:09:21.000 That was incredible.
01:09:22.000 We got one over on the Feds.
01:09:25.000 Can you believe this?
01:09:26.000 The first time in American history something like this has been done.
01:09:29.000 So when Ray gets up there,
01:09:30.000 I like the grilling.
01:09:32.000 I like the, you know, the clips and the sound bites, but I just, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna put this in a Jonah Hill kind of way.
01:09:40.000 I'm in a different place where I don't just want like, like these, these, you know, these government worms and apparatchiks to be caught.
01:09:48.000 I don't want you caught, I want you punished.
01:09:49.000 I want them behind bars.
01:09:51.000 I want them in jail.
01:09:52.000 I want, I want to see people that have done these things to be in jail.
01:09:56.000 Well, because if you or me did this, I'd be in jail.
01:09:58.000 I'd be in Gitmo.
01:09:59.000 If I did the Hunter Biden stuff...
01:10:03.000 Any of it.
01:10:04.000 One little part of it.
01:10:04.000 You're going.
01:10:05.000 I'm in Gitmo.
01:10:08.000 Hamilton, we have no idea.
01:10:09.000 What are you talking about?
01:10:10.000 We have no idea.
01:10:11.000 And this is what they're doing at the Joe Biden Whistleblower, by the way.
01:10:13.000 So the Biden Whistleblower.
01:10:13.000 Correct.
01:10:13.000 100%.
01:10:15.000 We'll charge.
01:10:15.000 I mean, this has never been done before.
01:10:16.000 He says, I was on, he's like, I was on this deal, and they were taking money from China, and it was part of the CFC energy, and they were giving money through Hunter to give to his dad in order to achieve policy outcomes, and I'm whistleblowing.
01:10:30.000 So they charged the whistleblower with a FARA violation by not registering as a foreign agent of China for blowing the whistle on the exact same thing that Hunter was doing.
01:10:40.000 Meaning, if they charge him, he's Hunter's, like, partner.
01:10:43.000 Like, how do they not charge Hunter?
01:10:43.000 Yes.
01:10:46.000 This is like the guy who comes, it's like the first guy who gets the best deal.
01:10:48.000 Like, no, no, this is the guy that you give immunity to because he's willing to testify against the rest of the gang.
01:10:55.000 And then you work your way up to Al Capone.
01:10:57.000 Especially now, when you're talking about, well, if that was going on there, is it going on in China?
01:11:04.000 And with Russia?
01:11:05.000 Because now we're talking about, you know, maybe a war in Taiwan, but you're defending an inevitable takeover of Taiwan, especially with the weakness that's showed there.
01:11:05.000 Or Ukraine?
01:11:13.000 But is our weak stance toward China?
01:11:16.000 Because of some of these things.
01:11:17.000 Is our aggressive stance on Russia because Ukraine has more information that would expose them and put them in jail?
01:11:25.000 Are we risking a nuclear war to protect Joe Biden's family's side deals?
01:11:32.000 Because it feels like that could
01:11:33.000 Just be as plausible as anything else.
01:11:49.000 So, you know, I get it.
01:11:52.000 If I were in your shoes, I would do the same exact thing.
01:11:55.000 Of course you would.
01:11:56.000 Because if you want China to be the world hegemon and be the leader of... To be the man?
01:12:01.000 You gotta beat the man.
01:12:02.000 You gotta beat the man.
01:12:03.000 So, what do you do?
01:12:05.000 You go and you find out, oh, U.S.
01:12:07.000 politicians are for sale?
01:12:08.000 Great.
01:12:09.000 How much?
01:12:10.000 Oh, you pay the kid?
01:12:11.000 Great.
01:12:12.000 That's easy.
01:12:13.000 Give him some board position on this.
01:12:15.000 We'll call it Burisma, for example, and we'll put him on the board.
01:12:18.000 And then you go to the dad and we go, hey, by the way, they've got this investigation going on.
01:12:22.000 Can you take care of that?
01:12:23.000 China's smart.
01:12:26.000 I'm not saying they're good.
01:12:28.000 They're smart.
01:12:30.000 Can anyone reasonably believe that China would invest a billion dollars, as they did with Hunter, with a crackhead?
01:12:39.000 They're not like us.
01:12:40.000 It's like part of the ESG requirements.
01:12:42.000 We need some diversity with crackheads.
01:12:45.000 We need to expand our portfolio to make sure that we're representing crackheads as well.
01:12:50.000 Their diligence process is a little bit more rigorous than that.
01:12:54.000 What they've done, I believe, is
01:12:57.000 Correctly analyze the U.S.
01:13:00.000 system.
01:13:00.000 Yeah.
01:13:01.000 And they understand that if you go and work with Wall Street, with the Chamber of Commerce, with groups on both sides of the aisle, on the Republican side of the aisle, there's a group called the Club for Growth.
01:13:11.000 I call it the Club for Chinese Growth because it's literally like China first, America last.
01:13:16.000 And then on the left, you can find people like the Bidens, etc.
01:13:20.000 So you play both sides so that you're basically counter-programming American politics to put the left and the right in your pocket.
01:13:29.000 Well, and that's the difference between Republicans and America First.
01:13:34.000 Republicans and MAGA.
01:13:35.000 Like, Trump understood that, which is why he actually took on China, and that's why you got results.
01:13:39.000 The other thing is that we talk kind of about it, but, you know, my billionaire donor, you know, this is a problem I see with most of these guys who are dependent on those billionaire donors.
01:13:46.000 You saw it with the DeSantis flip-flop.
01:13:47.000 It's like, well, guess what, man?
01:13:49.000 That guy may be like, I love America, but, like, if they can get their widget for one cent cheaper in China,
01:13:55.000 They're doing it, and they're going to call in that favor, and they're going to make sure that those controlled politicians do whatever they want, which is why that swamp in the establishment donor class doesn't want Trump, because they lose that ability because he doesn't give a shit.
01:14:08.000 He doesn't need their money.
01:14:11.000 That's basically the same formulation that has characterized Chinese relations with the West for over two hundred years.
01:14:18.000 It's going back to the British Empire and the opium wars.
01:14:21.000 Why did the British conduct the opium wars?
01:14:23.000 Because they wanted to open it up for British business, the East India Company, to get into the Chinese market.
01:14:28.000 That's the same thing.
01:14:29.000 It's the same exact thing that we're doing right now, so that we are willing for our business interests to get in there, but the problem is, and this is something where
01:14:36.000 You can go back to the 1980s and find a guy by the name of Donald Trump saying, don't give them favored nation status.
01:14:43.000 Don't put them in the World Trade Organization.
01:14:45.000 Don't let them get into NAFTA because they're getting in behind through Mexico and Canada, which all the Chinese deal.
01:14:51.000 It's been remarkably consistent.
01:14:52.000 It's extremely consistent.
01:14:53.000 And I say this all the time.
01:14:55.000 I know we talked about the last time I was here as well, but it just bears repeating because people miss out because there's always so much news that the two essential elements of all of MAGA are trade and immigration.
01:15:07.000 These are the two rails that every other establishment politician and war is actually a function of both interestingly enough It's it's a function of trade at which becomes a function of immigration that these are the two issues which only somebody who understands not politics, but
01:15:27.000 That Trump's business and the way the world works and the way money flows could accurately assess, and I've always said I think that's Trump's greatest, beyond, you know, the stuff we all think is funny and the memes, that his greatest political strength was understanding that those are the two issues, by the way, where you can unite people on the left and the right.
01:15:47.000 100%.
01:15:48.000 Because there's nobody that looks out there and says, you know,
01:15:52.000 We need more illegal immigrants.
01:15:55.000 And I want more people taking jobs away from Americans at Disney and Silicon Valley.
01:15:58.000 I want to say you're American Dream to China.
01:16:00.000 That's a wonderful concept.
01:16:01.000 Are you kidding me?
01:16:01.000 What?
01:16:03.000 We got a Republican primary going on.
01:16:05.000 We do.
01:16:06.000 Sort of.
01:16:08.000 But hey, listen, there's hundreds of millions of dollars spent to try to take out Trump to preserve
01:16:14.000 That.
01:16:14.000 Right?
01:16:15.000 For that donor class.
01:16:16.000 Oh, that system is working great.
01:16:18.000 For the donor class and the Chinese Communist Party.
01:16:20.000 Yeah, that's not for the America First actual hard-working guy.
01:16:23.000 The gravy is running down the train.
01:16:25.000 Gravy is running down the train.
01:16:27.000 What's the inside baseball on the process of what's going on right now?
01:16:30.000 What do you think the dirty tricks that are going to be played?
01:16:32.000 Because, like I said, there's literally hundreds of millions of dollars out there basically to just try to take out Trump, to stick in any one of the other guys at this point in time.
01:16:41.000 There are two lines of effort that are currently being run to take out Trump.
01:16:44.000 One of them is traditional and one of them is unconventional.
01:16:47.000 The traditional line of attack is to find a candidate.
01:16:50.000 Originally, the donor class had lined up behind Ron DeSantis.
01:16:55.000 This is why, by the way, his gubernatorial campaign raised far more money than they ever needed because the plan all along was to transfer that over to the super PAC Never Back Down.
01:17:07.000 Transfer as much as they were legally able to and then that would become the so it's sort of like Raising money for a national campaign in in in plain sight which which some of us paid attention to it You see it because you understand the game I saw it and it's like this is clearly what's happening and as a resident of Florida I'm like it'd be nice to have a governor that was present actually because like you sort of did run that you were gonna actually govern for four years and within about Three months of being elected.
01:17:31.000 It's like I'm running for president the permanent book tour so because that money
01:17:36.000 is all lined up, they thought, a lot of these people thought that they'd be getting a quick ROI on it, but it's actually been the opposite.
01:17:44.000 So the more money that the DeSantis campaign has spent, the lower his polls have gone, which is actually the inverse of what normally happens.
01:17:52.000 Well, to get to know Ron is probably to dislike Ron, and I say that as someone who did a lot for him in 18.
01:17:57.000 Like, I spent probably three weeks on the campaign trail with him, like, you know, helping get over it.
01:18:01.000 Like, he was going to lose to a crackhead meth head.
01:18:03.000 What is it with these crackheads?
01:18:05.000 Yeah, I don't understand.
01:18:05.000 The Democrats really have a lot, but he was going to lose the thing.
01:18:09.000 But you can see, so that's why I was like, the image that's been created online by the sort of the paid influencers, you know, he's this, he's like, if you actually sit, and you've probably done it, you actually sit down, it's like, wow, that's not that guy.
01:18:23.000 You can create something in a marketing campaign, but that's not the interpersonal thing.
01:18:27.000 There's an idea of Ron DeSantis, and then there's Ron DeSantis.
01:18:32.000 And I have argued, actually, that he would probably benefit from sort of eschewing that
01:18:41.000 I think so.
01:19:00.000 Go out there and, like what we're doing right now, do long-form podcasts where you talk about policy more.
01:19:04.000 Do adversarial media.
01:19:05.000 Go out, again, just go out and be yourself.
01:19:07.000 That would be the one piece of advice, and I mean that truly, I do mean that truly, that you would be doing much better if you just did that, instead of trying to do this weird... Well, they're trying to be like, they're trying to do... Be all things to all people.
01:19:19.000 Yeah, well, be all things to all people, but they're also trying to be Trump.
01:19:22.000 Like, Trump's a unique guy, right?
01:19:22.000 Right.
01:19:26.000 There's plenty of Asa Hutchinson's.
01:19:29.000 There's a billion of them in Washington, D.C., right?
01:19:33.000 Trump's kind of unique.
01:19:34.000 It's hard to just be Trump.
01:19:36.000 And yeah, I don't think anyone can do that.
01:19:38.000 I really don't.
01:19:39.000 I mean, you'd be the close, obviously.
01:19:43.000 You know, funny enough.
01:19:44.000 But that would be that.
01:19:45.000 But, you know, so now with those donors, to get back to the lay of the land, what they're now attempting to do is say,
01:19:52.000 And Fox & Friends has had a recent very interesting segment, which I posted, where they were sort of talking about, where is the donor class gonna go now?
01:20:00.000 Is it Glenn Youngkin?
01:20:01.000 Is it Tim Scott, who I also think shot himself in the foot over Ukraine, talking about the need to defend the world order?
01:20:06.000 It's like, excuse me?
01:20:08.000 Like, I was like, have you seen anything that the Republican base, you know, let's call it 75% of the Republicans actually think, I mean, that seems like the wrong sample.
01:20:18.000 It's like, do you spend any time with, like, regular people?
01:20:21.000 But is there such a thing as MAGA-lite?
01:20:23.000 Because I don't think that exists.
01:20:25.000 I think people see through it.
01:20:27.000 Maybe they try to be a little bit of that, but it never really... Why would you go see a tribute band when the main band is still playing?
01:20:35.000 Next door.
01:20:36.000 Next door.
01:20:37.000 Everyone wants tickets for the real thing.
01:20:40.000 This is why nobody wanted New Coke.
01:20:42.000 This is why nobody wanted these other knockoff brands.
01:20:46.000 I don't want Mr. Pibb.
01:20:47.000 I want Dr. Pepper.
01:20:48.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:20:50.000 No offense to Mr. Pibb.
01:20:51.000 I do actually like Mr. Pibb.
01:20:52.000 But you get what I'm saying.
01:20:54.000 There is a power in brand.
01:20:55.000 There's a power in authenticity.
01:20:57.000 This is why you want those things.
01:20:59.000 And so that's the issue on the conventional side.
01:21:04.000 And I'll just spell it out.
01:21:07.000 There is no conventional way to defeat Donald Trump in this primary.
01:21:12.000 There is no conventional way, period, full stop.
01:21:14.000 They will not find a way to dislodge him.
01:21:16.000 Maybe there was a little bit months ago.
01:21:18.000 There was a little bit of an opening, but now I don't see it.
01:21:21.000 Yeah.
01:21:22.000 And so this is what I was going to say though, and this is why there's also an unconventional method that's going on right now, and that's called the Department of Justice.
01:21:32.000 That's called indictments, and specifically the next indictment that we are going to see
01:21:38.000 Is not just about boxes in Mar-a-Lago and were they classified or were they unclassified, whatever, right?
01:21:47.000 Not even any of that.
01:21:48.000 And it's not Alvin Bragg and whatever else up there.
01:21:51.000 You think Georgia?
01:21:53.000 It will be a combination of Georgia and January 6th in what I believe, and I've had Julie Kelly on and we've gone through this at length, it will be, and if you look at those
01:22:06.000 Charges of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.
01:22:10.000 They were charged with seditious conspiracy.
01:22:10.000 What were they charged with?
01:22:13.000 Seditious conspiracy against the United States.
01:22:15.000 And they say all of these actions that were taken, if you read those charging documents, they get into way more than just January 6th.
01:22:23.000 Oh, yeah.
01:22:23.000 I mean, they're insane, but so is everything else we're seeing these days.
01:22:26.000 So they're trying to criminalize
01:22:29.000 Essentially, the effort to question the election of 2020.
01:22:33.000 So and by criminalizing that, by labeling it as a seditious conspiracy, then you can create the conditions for all of the activity that took place from November all the way through January 6 as a conspiracy.
01:22:52.000 January 6 then becomes an insurrection, right?
01:22:55.000 This is why that word was pumped out over and
01:22:58.000 And Norm Eisen, which is a name that everybody should remember, and Darren Beattie was the first to really raise his name.
01:23:08.000 Norm Eisen has already started beating the drum on this and he's written some pieces and op-eds in academic and legal journals that haven't gone very loud and haven't gone very far, but
01:23:20.000 What he said is, if you can convict Donald Trump in the D.C.
01:23:24.000 jury, which, guess what?
01:23:25.000 If you put him before a D.C.
01:23:26.000 jury, you're earning a conviction.
01:23:28.000 If you can convict him of a seditious conspiracy that led to an insurrection, then it will trigger something called the Disqualification Clause of the 14th Amendment, which was originally written for Civil War, like, Confederate officials so that they couldn't run for government again after the states have been brought back into the Union.
01:23:49.000 And if you trigger the 14th Amendment clause against Trump, they'll say,
01:23:54.000 You can't be on the ballot because you've been convicted of rebellion against the United States and they will try to strip him of the ability to actually go on the ballot and be in the primary to begin with.
01:24:11.000 And if this happens,
01:24:13.000 First of all, something like that would obviously go to the Supreme Court.
01:24:15.000 How come no one's talking about that other than... It's sort of clear.
01:24:18.000 I mean, I sort of feel that way.
01:24:20.000 They know they can't beat him, so they gotta keep going ahead.
01:24:23.000 He's the only threat to the Uniparty.
01:24:28.000 The average Republican, they don't care if it's them or someone else, as long as they can make their deals and then it'll be their turn and then it's their turn again.
01:24:35.000 There's no accountability if you don't win or you don't do the things you say.
01:24:38.000 I get that it sounds far-fetched.
01:24:39.000 I don't think it sounds far-fetched.
01:24:41.000 Has anyone been watching?
01:24:42.000 If you've been watching, how is that far-fetched?
01:24:44.000 At this point, would you put anything past them?
01:24:46.000 Of course not!
01:24:47.000 I don't even think that's, like, moderately conspiratorial.
01:24:53.000 It's their words.
01:24:54.000 Based on everything, not only their actions,
01:24:57.000 But on everything else that they've done.
01:24:58.000 Look at what they've done to the January 6th people.
01:25:01.000 The peaceful protesters locked up without due process for years.
01:25:05.000 They hide the exculpatory evidence for years.
01:25:07.000 If we did this as prosecutors anywhere else, we'd be disbarred and thrown in jail.
01:25:12.000 They're the government, so they can do that, and they'll figure out whatever angle, and they'll back into the result that they want, because there's no one holding them accountable.
01:25:21.000 There's no one that doesn't agree with whatever it is that they want to do, or there's no one willing, perhaps, no one that has the balls to actually challenge those positions.
01:25:32.000 And so everyone sits back and says, hey, if I challenge that, they'll come after me, they'll come after my family next, like they did this.
01:25:38.000 So, I mean, the Oathkeeper stuff, it's insane to me, but they are
01:25:42.000 Laying down the gauntlet.
01:25:43.000 They're showing you, if you question their authority, this is what's going to happen to you.
01:25:47.000 So fall in line.
01:25:52.000 Capitulate fully.
01:25:53.000 Don't speak out.
01:25:54.000 Don't speak out.
01:25:54.000 Go home.
01:25:55.000 Right.
01:25:56.000 I mean, you know, I think this should be, and certainly amongst our people, this should be probably the most talked about story out there, but it gets almost no track.
01:26:04.000 People aren't seeing that far ahead.
01:26:06.000 But again, based on everything we've seen for the last seven years, how can you not be thinking this?
01:26:11.000 This is what I think.
01:26:12.000 Remember, you were thrown out of academia if you said, hey, do you think the virus started in a Wuhan lab that studies the fucking virus in question?
01:26:18.000 Oh my God, how dare you?
01:26:19.000 How dare you?
01:26:34.000 So to them, the January 6th defendants, the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, that's them working their way up the chain.
01:26:42.000 And the culmination of this, again, with the Gen 6 committee and the reason to get all of the sort of normies out there, there's probably a
01:26:53.000 30, 31% of the country that does believe January 6th was an insurrection.
01:26:57.000 I actually agreed with Pence when he said, like, well, there was a rally and there was a riot.
01:27:01.000 And I was like, that's fair.
01:27:03.000 That's fair.
01:27:03.000 We can agree on that.
01:27:04.000 There was violence.
01:27:05.000 We can argue about who started the violence, but that's a different conversation.
01:27:08.000 You hear the stuff now about how many feds were in there, what they knew and what they were trying to do.
01:27:14.000 I mean, I had Darren Beattie on the show.
01:27:15.000 He did great on the show.
01:27:16.000 And I'd love to talk about that riot.
01:27:18.000 Well, I'd love to talk about it.
01:27:19.000 I'd love to talk about, like, you know, how come no one's even interested in the bombs that were left at the DNC and the RNC?
01:27:25.000 And then he takes you, he was on, you know, two weeks ago, you know, he takes you through the step-by-step.
01:27:31.000 I'm like, and, you know, I've seen, I've gone and trained with the Secret Service, and I've seen the dogs in action.
01:27:36.000 I got in the bite suit, like, you know, both the attack dogs as well as the bomb-sniffing dogs.
01:27:42.000 A Secret Service dog isn't missing a bomb under a bench two feet from the DNC.
01:27:47.000 No way!
01:27:49.000 It's just not possible.
01:27:50.000 Hillary Clinton's lawyers aren't supporting a Republican insurrectionist like Ray Epps unless...
01:27:58.000 You know, there's so much more there, but no one wants to ask the question.
01:28:01.000 If they push this plot forward, and we know that Eisen is working with Jack Smith, Andrew Weissman, your old buddy, is very, very well involved in this.
01:28:11.000 That's the guy that wanted to put me in jail for treason, just so you guys understand.
01:28:14.000 You know, a crime punishable by death.
01:28:16.000 He literally posted on Twitter every day that he wants you in jail for treason.
01:28:21.000 That he's probably like, oh my gosh, I haven't tweeted it yet.
01:28:25.000 That...
01:28:26.000 If they, and I think if it goes to the Supreme Court, I do believe that they would strike it down because it's just too crazy.
01:28:33.000 But, if they, and I'm going to say this, if they tried to take Trump off the ballot, it would blow this country apart.
01:28:41.000 It would blow this country apart at the seams.
01:28:44.000 Are there other stories like that that we're missing?
01:28:46.000 That aren't getting sort of the coverage that it needs?
01:28:49.000 Well, you mentioned Lindsey Graham before and this notion of his to introduce a resolution into the United States Senate that he's working with Blumenthal on, a Democrat, to introduce a basically de facto Article 5 for Ukraine, which is not a NATO member, but basically says that if
01:29:09.000 If any type of nuclear weapon or tactical nuke or any nuclear
01:29:17.000 Planned.
01:29:19.000 So what they said is nuclear incident.
01:29:20.000 The phrase they use is nuclear incident.
01:29:22.000 With this Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, which Russia took very early on, shut it down, disconnected from the grid.
01:29:27.000 Reactor is still there.
01:29:28.000 Six reactors, biggest nuclear plant in all of Europe.
01:29:32.000 Minor details.
01:29:33.000 And if you know anything about Ukraine's history with nuclear plants... Not awesome?
01:29:39.000 Not the best.
01:29:40.000 Less than awesome?
01:29:41.000 That was the Soviet era, etc.
01:29:44.000 If there were an incident that it would trigger Article 5, which would require U.S.
01:29:50.000 troops to go to war in Ukraine, and then you had a president who had just activated, say, 3,000 reservists to go to a country that was immediately bordering Ukraine, then you might think as though we're on a trajectory towards going... Yeah, what could go wrong?
01:30:08.000 What could go wrong?
01:30:09.000 What's the worst that could happen?
01:30:11.000 No, it's clear that there is a trajectory towards direct US involvement in Ukraine, and I say this as a guy of Polish descent, that I can certainly see where it would start as, we're going to establish a NATO safe zone, or a NATO corridor,
01:30:30.000 And it's going to be around the West, and a NATO peacekeeping force is going to deploy to protect.
01:30:39.000 You can see the headlines, you can hear it, and it's going to be an international NATO force, and we're not going to be involved in direct attacks on Russia, and it is a recipe for World War III.
01:30:51.000 It's a recipe for World War 3 because you take a proxy war that we're already in.
01:30:55.000 It's not a proxy war.
01:30:56.000 It's actually not a proxy war.
01:30:57.000 A proxy war implies that we don't already have boots on the ground, which we found out from Jack Tutera.
01:31:03.000 Another person that just magically disappeared.
01:31:05.000 We haven't heard anything because, again, the establishment is fine with this notion that we actually have a boots on the ground war beyond the, you know, multiple hundred
01:31:14.000 So you take that, and then at the same time, when you find that we don't have artillery shells anymore, which, oh, that's nice.
01:31:22.000 So it's like, by the way, if Red Dawn actually happened right now, and the Chinese and Russian militaries came up through Mexico, as happens in the movie by Amanda Milius' father, John Milius.
01:31:32.000 By the way, one of the great movies of all time.
01:31:34.000 I think the remake was not the same.
01:31:37.000 The original Red Dawn was
01:31:40.000 Maybe the great movie of my childhood, along with the original Top Gun.
01:31:43.000 Look, remember the scene, we all remember the scene, the dad's at the fence and he's like, now you know why I was tough on you boys.
01:31:51.000 We need more of that, by the way, also.
01:31:53.000 Avenge me!
01:31:54.000 So true.
01:31:55.000 And it's just, it hits you.
01:31:56.000 It hits you.
01:31:57.000 Well yeah, we don't have basic munitions, so our solution is, well let's send them cluster
01:32:02.000 So the question is, and this is where, and I'll bring up Mearsheimer here, because this is Mearsheimer's warning, and we talk about this on Human Events all the time, but he says, as a country, the current trajectory of the United States and our allies, as Darren calls it, the globalist American empire,
01:32:30.000 We're already embroiled in this proxy war with Russia on the territory of Ukraine at the same time that it seems like we're dangerously escalating with China vis-a-vis the territory of Taiwan.
01:32:44.000 We don't have the ability with the military as currently constituted not even to get into all those problems.
01:32:50.000 We need more trans-military members fighting because
01:32:55.000 Putin will be very threatened.
01:32:58.000 Xi will just surrender when he sees the strength of our diversity and our pronouns.
01:33:04.000 And they'll say, we do not want any of this.
01:33:07.000 That's going to be effective.
01:33:10.000 One of the candidates said something yesterday about, I think it may have been Ron DeSantis, now that I think about it.
01:33:16.000 And it just actually occurred to me that he said something about learning pronouns in Mandarin.
01:33:21.000 And it struck me as funny at the time, and I didn't pick up on it, and it actually just occurs to me now as we're recording this, the reason why it struck me as funny, because the pronouns in, and I speak Mandarin, the pronouns in Mandarin are all the same.
01:33:36.000 In verbal Mandarin, it's he, her, she, it.
01:33:40.000 It's all the same word, ta.
01:33:42.000 So, and written is a little bit different.
01:33:45.000 So they do have genders, but it's actually all the same in Mandarin.
01:33:48.000 So funny enough, actually, Ron, the Chinese have already beaten us on that.
01:33:51.000 Because they're already there.
01:33:53.000 They only have one front out, which is a little bit... I was in Tanzania with my son a couple weeks ago, and one of our guides was taking us through.
01:33:53.000 They only have one.
01:34:00.000 I wanted to be like, hey, can you go into that Maasai village and just explain to them the idea of... This is the Matt Walsh thing.
01:34:07.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:34:08.000 No, no, no.
01:34:08.000 But I was literally... He does that in the movie.
01:34:10.000 Oh, really?
01:34:11.000 I didn't even see that.
01:34:11.000 It was so funny.
01:34:12.000 With friends, and we were there, and I was like, I gotta see it.
01:34:15.000 You know, people living with nothing...
01:34:18.000 Cattle herders and goat herders and all.
01:34:20.000 It was amazing.
01:34:21.000 But, by the way, much happier than any of the, you know, purple-haired freaks that we see in America.
01:34:25.000 With nothing, they seem to be very content in life and smiling and having a great time.
01:34:29.000 But I was like, I just want to hear their reaction to it.
01:34:31.000 I have to give him credit because that's a scene, it's in the movie, where he goes in and he's talking to the tribesmen and it's, you know, and the reaction goes, so do you believe a man can become a woman?
01:34:46.000 And the elder is just like,
01:34:48.000 Yeah.
01:34:49.000 What's this guy's problem?
01:34:51.000 If these are one of our concerns, you have it too good.
01:34:53.000 If that's what you're worried about in life, you have it too easy.
01:34:56.000 Where are you from?
01:34:58.000 There's a funny story going back to China about the first Chinese emperor that meets and is learning about the West, and he's being told by his couriers and his eunuchs about what the West is like.
01:35:08.000 So explain this to me.
01:35:12.000 You're two leading countries.
01:35:14.000 One of them is a country that changes their leader every four years, as opposed to being, you know, the child of God, as I am.
01:35:21.000 And another one is an island that's ruled by a woman?
01:35:25.000 They're like, why would I take you guys seriously?
01:35:28.000 And then they roll in with the cannons.
01:35:30.000 I know we're all at turning point, so we're all running around, but should Trump do the debates?
01:35:37.000 Look, there's the policy, like, political operative side of me that says, when you're this many points up in a debate, you can't win anymore because you're already at a 50% ceiling.
01:35:52.000 Do you give Chris Christie three hours to work with the writers to crap on you?
01:35:56.000 Like, that's all they're doing, you know what I mean?
01:35:57.000 Like, we'll make ourselves relevant by crapping on you.
01:36:00.000 I gotta say... You're in it for the memes?
01:36:02.000 I'm in it for the memes.
01:36:04.000 And by the way, I would also say though, from an operative perspective, there's not just one election.
01:36:11.000 There's two.
01:36:12.000 There's the primary election and then there's the general election.
01:36:14.000 So from a primary election standpoint, it makes no sense to do the debates.
01:36:18.000 From a general election standpoint,
01:36:21.000 He stands to win everything by doing these debates.
01:36:24.000 Because having the champ get in the ring and just light up these jabronis one after one after one, Ric Flair style, throwing them out, just throwing them out, just throwing them out.
01:36:35.000 I think that's something that's gonna break out.
01:36:37.000 I think that's something that your UFC fans, your non-political people are gonna see.
01:36:43.000 Everybody loves that Trump.
01:36:45.000 You gotta do at least one, man.
01:36:46.000 You gotta do at least one.
