00:00:30.000We're talking Daily Wire. And if the market were to say who the Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro's enemy is, it would be Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson comes out and says there's no chance he'll support the Republican Party. I think he said this a couple of days ago. If you got the clip, go ahead and play it.
00:00:44.340I don't want to support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party. I'm not going to support the Democratic Party. I don't know what I'm going to do. But at this point, you know, how could you support, how could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States that puts the interest of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?
00:01:02.860Like, that's that's, you know, it's not possible to vote for people like that. And I'm not going to. And I think I voted Republican my entire life. I worked at Fox News, CNN, MSNBC. I've been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party.
00:01:20.140I mean, very consistent defender, but there's no defending this because it's immoral and it's exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation.
00:02:38.800He's telling you to let the Democrats win.
00:02:41.120Because if you're a Republican and you don't vote Republican, you're essentially giving a vote to Democrats.
00:02:45.420And I think that's the goal of this new coalition to destabilize, I think.
00:02:50.360And it's also just an insane premise, number one, to create this this false narrative that somehow you can't vote Republican because they're secretly loyal to Israel or to a foreign country.
00:03:01.360Therefore, you have to destroy all your foundational beliefs and allow the Democrats to win because of this great conspiracy.
00:03:07.580the guy doesn't talk about the trillion dollars coming in from qatar he doesn't talk about the0.66
00:03:11.600air force one qatari uh flight over our white house on july 4th he doesn't talk about he said
00:03:18.440iran would be better with nuclear missiles he in the middle east would be safer with nuclear
00:03:23.020missiles in iran he had his this is the moment i'm just going to end with this i'm not going to
00:03:27.500go through the vast list of him promoting sharia law all the the weird mcdonald's video in russia
00:03:33.160where he was talking about how tasty mcdonald's is in russia all the propaganda look at their
00:03:37.020beautiful subway terminal yeah and how cheap their groceries are i mean it's like straight up
00:03:41.100propaganda out of like if you were to make a video but the moment i really lost respect for
00:03:45.260tucker carlson despite all of this is when he had nick fuentes on forget the hitler stuff forget
00:03:49.660the stalin stuff he claims to love charlie kirk and be and had he was very close with charlie
00:03:54.460kirk yet he has a guy there who said the most disgusting things about charlie kirk's organization
00:03:59.000and charlie kirk himself and he didn't once really call him out in that interview and if i just if i
00:04:04.780was there with someone who said the most disgusting
00:04:06.760things about my friend who was assassinated
00:05:03.440What Tucker is doing is like, I'm not supporting them.
00:05:06.220And then 24 hours later, he goes and supports J.D. Vance on the same day.
00:05:13.080Personally, having worked in politics before, I think when parties in general, and I'm not talking about Tucker and Perth,
00:05:18.440when parties are not faced with carrot and stick strategies, like when they have unconditional support,
00:05:23.580any party could be something you agree with, disagree with, when they have unconditional support
00:05:27.860and they don't get the stick from their voters, things get out of whack.
00:05:32.420And the worst situations I've seen in South America working in politics is when people start playing team sports and they always support the same party no matter what they do.
00:05:41.060Democrats do it, like vote blue no matter who.
00:07:24.520all the mistakes that Bush made, Trump started,
00:07:26.080That would be one thing that would be criticism. It would be genuine. It would be honest. But pivoting to Israel. I mean, making it always about Israel. That's the thing that gets me because, first of all, I don't think Trump is has anything to do with Israel or at least not much to do with Israel. I think this is all about China to begin with. So making this all about Israel just raises all kinds of red flags.
00:07:46.000you know it's a perfect example you he said you said tucker carlson's a christian right
00:07:49.940how much time has tucker carlson talked about the hundreds of millions of christians persecuted
00:07:54.140across the middle east and africa but he will talk all day about christians persecuted in
00:07:58.540israel it's like gonna it's literally i'm going by general vibes here i don't know the guy i didn't
00:08:02.500get no but i'm just saying that there there's there's such a so if you're going to be logically
00:08:06.760consistent and ethically consistent you can't spend a hundred hours a week talking about christians
00:08:12.240persecuted in gaza christians persecuted in the west bank and then ignore literally hundreds of
00:08:16.520millions of christians persecuted in the middle east and africa and never mention it he came across
00:08:21.340and he said that what was happening in nigeria is not necessarily targeting of christians it could
00:08:25.300be tribal he's made all kinds of defenses of sharia law there's just such an extreme shift
00:08:30.920in his narrative and i see what you're saying and last friday told pat he lost me right we we had
00:08:36.260the deal ready everything was good i'm pro peace i'm openly pro peace the deal was done it's being
00:08:41.920signed you see the video he's still bitter about it all right are we are we pro-peace here or are
00:08:47.260we just just just blaming israel for everything and by the way when he said when he said he is
00:08:51.520voted republican his entire life i think he's a registered democrat from 2006 to 2022 i don't
00:08:58.820know if you know that or not oh i didn't know that yeah he's a registered democrat can you can
00:09:02.420you verify that i think he was a registered democrat from 06 to 2020 uh in dc i could be
00:09:11.200wrong. Fact check me out. I'm very comfortable
00:09:13.300if I'm wrong or not. It doesn't have any impact on my life.
00:10:26.220You did a great interview with him up in Maine.
00:10:28.760We visited with him and his team, and the things I'm seeing now I don't really recognize.
00:10:33.880You know, I could see that underneath it, he's like, well, look, underneath it, I got this feeling about Israel, this, this, this, this, and this.
00:10:39.920But then the awkwardness with Qatar and describing his purchase and the things that are there, I don't know what to think.
00:10:47.140Were you really a libertarian, centrist, almost even a little socialist down underneath?
