00:02:41.300 Welcome. It is Vertical Center Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson with you as well.
00:02:45.040 Center, we've got a lot to chat about on the show today, including your good old buddy, Tiger Carlson.
00:02:50.020 He's got headlines yet again out there that people are just going to love to hear.
00:02:53.180 Well, as we get closer and closer to Election Day, the world gets crazier and crazier. We're now less than a month away from Election Day, and Tucker Carlson decided, what do you want to do right before Election Day? I know, become a full-on Nazi. Embrace Adolf Hitler, defend the Nazis, argue. America should have been standing with the Nazis. You know, poor Adolf was just misunderstood.
00:03:16.960 We're going to come with the receipts of even for Tucker, long after he's gone down the road of hating Donald Trump, long after he's gone down the road of hating Israel and Jews, long after he's gone down the road of hating Christian Zionists and becoming a full-on jihadist, long after he has embraced Abdul al-Sayed, Tucker decided, you know, I don't have enough Nazi love on my show.
00:03:43.860 And this past week, he sought to correct that.
00:03:46.520 You can hear and judge for yourself. 0.91
00:03:49.180 Speaking of lunatics, we're also going to talk about Comrade Mondami. 0.91
00:03:53.300 Comrade Mondami, the Marxist Islamist, who continues to be more and more radical. 0.96
00:03:58.720 We're going to take you with the latest insane positions.
00:04:02.480 Mondami keeps getting worse and worse and worse.
00:04:05.680 Yeah, also, we get to make a fun phone call.
00:04:08.320 We'll have a story for you in just a moment about a verdict listener.
00:04:10.600 We're going to make their day and allow them to beat their dad in an improbable bet.
00:04:16.000 Yeah, we read our emails, folks.
00:04:17.520 We'll have that for you in just a moment.
00:04:19.400 I want to talk to you real quick, though, about your cell phone.
00:04:21.620 How would you like to know that every single time you made a phone call,
00:04:24.540 you're actually making a difference?
00:04:26.500 And every time you pay your bill, you're standing up for what you believe in.
00:04:29.400 Well, there is a company called Patriot Mobile.
00:04:31.740 They've been in business for well over a decade.
00:04:33.920 I've been using them for years, and what they offer you is two things.
00:04:37.480 Not only premium priority nationwide service, on any of the three major U.S. networks,
00:04:42.840 that means you get the best coverage wherever life takes you.
00:04:46.360 Now, Patriot Mobile, you can even have two separate networks on a single device,
00:04:50.100 eliminating the need to carry multiple phones.
00:04:52.540 And giving you peace of mind you just can't get with the other carriers as well.
00:04:56.220 Now, here's the part I love.
00:04:58.400 When you switch to Patriot Mobile, not only do you get to keep your same number,
00:05:01.480 you can keep your same phone or upgrade to a new one,
00:05:03.840 but when you pay your bill, this is where the magic happens.
00:05:06.340 They literally give millions of dollars a year back to organizations that fight for our First and our Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children.
00:05:14.700 And they give back to our military, our veterans, our first responders, our wounded warriors, meaning that not only are you standing with a company that stands for our values, but you're making a difference with that business every single month when you pay your bill at no extra cost to you.
00:05:30.080 Now, if you need to enter it on the go, Patriot Mobile's got Wi-Fi hotspots as well.
00:05:34.300 And the other thing is international roaming, check the box,
00:05:37.180 enterprise solutions for businesses and small businesses, they've got you covered.
00:05:41.540 So go to PatriotMobile.com slash verdict.
00:05:44.820 That's PatriotMobile.com slash verdict, or you can call them 972Patriot.
00:05:50.280 Use the promo code verdict for a free month of service.
00:05:52.900 That's PatriotMobile.com slash verdict or 972Patriot, and you can make that switch today.
00:05:58.920 All right, so Senator, I got to tell you, you get crazy emails.
00:06:02.240 I get crazy emails.
00:06:04.100 And I got an email the other day after we did the show,
00:06:06.580 and it was from a kid that's a listener who says he's 16 years old.
00:06:09.540 He goes, hey, I have a bet with my dad.
00:06:12.640 If I can get Senator Ted Cruz to call my dad,
00:06:16.580 then he's going to buy me tickets to go to a University of Florida Gators game.
00:06:22.460 And at first I got the email, and I was like, all right, this could be interesting.
00:06:25.480 I like making kids' days. 0.85
00:06:26.760 I like any kid that's willing to bet with their dad something so ridiculous as this.
00:06:30.740 But then he gave a follow-up email, which was, hey, please don't call during these times on Monday.
00:06:36.120 This is when I'm in school, and they take our phones away from us,
00:06:38.700 which at that point I was like, all right, I'm kind of all in on this one.
00:06:41.820 So I brought it to you, and we decided we should probably call this kid's dad
00:06:45.740 and let him know, number one, we're glad he's listening to Verdict.
00:06:48.600 Number two, you owe your kids some pretty awesome seats to a game.
00:06:51.380 And three, it's just a fun way for all the younger listeners out there,
00:06:54.340 just know you can have dreams that become a reality.
00:06:56.760 Look, we're all for father-son going to football games.
00:07:00.780 We're also, Andrew Gordon is 16 years old.
00:07:04.640 He says he hasn't won very many of these bets with his dad.
00:07:07.700 Well, he's about to win this one.
00:07:09.300 And so we are dialing right now.
00:07:11.980 Hello, Andrew.

00:08:20.640 You need to be able to read the names of the players on the back of the jerseys.
00:08:24.760 Yes, sir.
00:08:26.440 All right, Ben, you got anything to say?
00:08:27.760 I want to know, how many of these bets has he lost?
00:08:31.220 So he asked, how many of these bets have you lost?
00:08:35.280 Surprisingly very few.
00:08:36.980 All right, good.
00:08:37.920 Wow.
00:08:38.420 I like it. 0.97
00:08:39.020 The last dumb bet that he made with me was, we were bowling, and he said, 0.86
00:08:45.800 I bet you can't make that 7-10 split for $100. 0.97
00:08:48.920 And I gutter-balled it and somehow knocked over both those pins.
00:08:52.200 Wow.
00:08:53.300 Yeah.
00:08:54.240 Well, well done.
00:08:55.760 Well, congratulations, Andrew.
00:08:57.340 Welcome to Verdict, and always be standing up for liberty.
00:09:02.380 Yes, sir.
00:09:02.800 I actually, I'm planning on pursuing a career in politics.
00:09:06.380 Fantastic.
00:09:07.020 What grade are you in now?
00:09:08.980 This year I'm a junior.
00:09:10.320 Do you have any advice that you could give me for somebody starting out this young?
00:09:13.300 That's a good question.
00:09:14.960 Yeah, look, I would say read a lot, read people you admire, learn a lot,
00:09:21.520 and get involved in issues you care about.
00:09:23.720 I mean, what I think being young is about is learning your passions.
00:09:28.760 Figure out what really gets your blood flowing.
00:09:33.100 Ask yourself, when you go to bed at night, what's the last thing you think about?
00:09:37.400 When you wake up in the morning, what's the very first thing on your mind?
00:09:40.440 And go and work to make a difference in the world on something you're passionate about.
00:09:45.020 You'll be better at it, and you'll be a heck of a lot happier.
00:09:48.160 Yes, sir.
00:09:49.980 All right.
00:09:50.660 Take care and enjoy the Gators game.
00:09:53.420 You, too.
00:09:54.040 Thank you so much.
00:09:54.740 Bye-bye.
00:09:55.700 Bye.
00:09:56.660 Senator Jabwell done there.
00:09:58.120 That's fun right there.
00:09:59.380 That's fun, America.
00:10:00.540 I love when he's like, seriously?
00:10:02.040 He didn't believe you at first.
00:10:03.260 That's the best part about it.
00:10:04.780 He did not.
00:10:06.940 All right.
00:10:07.600 That's good.
00:10:08.080 From something joyful and uplifting and all-American.
00:10:12.160 You should have told him, by the way, don't listen to Tucker Carlson.
00:10:14.540 That should have been part of your advice there.
00:10:16.000 Read People You Admire and don't listen to Tucker.
00:10:18.000 You know what?
00:10:18.700 I feel confident that he's going to at least listen to this episode since he's on it.
00:10:23.340 Yeah, exactly.
00:10:23.760 And so he'll figure out the Tucker.
00:10:26.440 Like you may be thinking, come on.
00:10:29.120 Tucker didn't go full Nazi, did he?
00:10:31.620 I mean, are we talking Sigh Heils and goose-stepping?
00:10:35.060 Well, look, let's not put words in Tucker's mouth. 0.86
00:10:40.000 I want you to give a listen to Tucker saying that he really wishes Hitler had won World War II. 0.78
00:10:45.460 Give a listen. 0.94
00:10:46.340 Has the UK benefited from it?
00:10:48.280 We did the right thing.
00:10:49.420 Is it a better country than it was? 0.90
00:10:51.080 To have defeated Hitler, yes. 0.60
00:10:52.760 So the UK is a better country now. 0.88
00:10:54.560 It's a healthier country now. 1.00
00:10:55.820 Otherwise we'll be speaking German. 1.00
00:10:58.000 Who cares? 1.00
00:10:59.200 There are a lot of people in Britain who can't speak English.
00:11:01.640 So it would be nice to have at least a European language spoken in your country.
00:11:05.360 No, I see no advantage of speaking German over any other language.
00:11:09.260 We want to speak English.
00:11:10.240 Thank you so much.
00:11:11.020 I am watching that, Senator.
00:11:12.900 I was truly shocked.
00:11:14.220 It was one of those, when I saw it instantly, when it started kind of blowing up on social,
00:11:18.680 I'm like, is he really making the argument that the UK and Europe would be better off 0.63
00:11:23.620 if Hitler would have won?
00:11:24.580 They were speaking German.
00:11:25.280 He said, in his words, who cares? 0.97
00:11:27.200 Well, he is.
00:11:28.760 And he is interviewing slash debating Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, British MP, who does a fabulous job.
00:11:37.560 And I think what is so effective is he does it in the dry British wit that just counteracts Tucker's, you know, he will have his high giggles.
00:11:50.780 He will have his fact-free assertions.
00:11:53.860 But what he's saying there is, gosh, you know, did the UK benefit from winning World War II?
00:11:59.900 I actually took that particular segment and I tweeted, and here's what I tweeted. 0.57
00:12:03.620 Yes, Tucker, the UK is better off for winning World War II. 0.56
00:12:08.660 America is better off for winning World War II. 0.87
00:12:12.080 And the world would be much worse off if the Nazis had won World War II. 0.91
00:12:20.260 This is not complicated. 0.82
00:12:23.100 And to be clear, Tucker's whole point was, well, gosh, if the Nazis had won, then we'd all be speaking German and everything would be great, never mind the concentration camps, the evil, the murder, the torture, never mind all of that.
00:12:34.000 It is actually an amazing thing that Tucker, number one, is a vocal defender of Putin, and number two, a vocal defender of Adolf Hitler.
00:12:50.920 And it is amazing among the so-called woke right how the same people who want to defend Putin want to defend Hitler. 0.50
00:12:58.240 I want you to listen to this exchange where Tucker leans in to defending Hitler even more.
00:13:04.180 Then the invasion doesn't take place.
00:13:06.280 And if Hitler had thought we were strong, then Poland would not have been invaded.
00:13:10.260 Hitler did not want to go to war with the UK.
00:13:12.360 He thought we wouldn't do anything about Poland as we'd done nothing.
00:13:14.960 Hitler repeatedly said, I do not want to go to war with the UK.
00:13:17.340 Do you acknowledge that?
00:13:18.320 As we'd done nothing about Czechoslovakia, he thought we'd do nothing about that.
00:13:21.340 Will you acknowledge that Hitler said repeatedly in public and through diplomacy,
00:13:24.800 I do not want war with the UK? 0.85
00:13:25.420 You seem to be putting more trust in Hitler than I would.
00:13:27.660 He said all sorts of things.
00:13:27.980 Just saying, he said that.
00:13:29.120 He signed an agreement with Neville Chamberlain.
00:13:30.620 Did he say that?
00:13:31.500 I really don't care what he said, because he signed a piece of paper with Neville Chamberlain
00:13:35.680 saying he would not invade.
00:13:36.640 I'm very surprised you're verging on defending Hitler.
00:13:39.480 I think this is not really what you want to be doing.
00:13:41.840 Yeah, I guess I'm just a secret Nazi.
00:13:44.040 I'm actually not a secret Nazi. 0.86
00:13:45.660 I'm reassured.
00:13:46.640 And hardly a public Nazi. 0.61
00:13:48.320 I mean, you look at this, Senator, and it is, yet again, another example of, I don't know if we call this Tucker derangement syndrome, but he's sitting there and he's arguing on behalf of the Nazis and said, you should trust Hitler.
00:14:02.180 My favorite words there are Jacob Reesbog interjecting, I'm reassured when Tucker says, I'm not a secret Nazi, and hardly a public Nazi.
00:14:15.560 that that's his defense and and the bizarre thing is look this is a pattern that that that tucker
00:14:21.360 has he says well gosh hitler said he didn't want to invade the uk you should believe hitler right
00:14:26.060 he also says gosh putin says he's not our enemy doesn't want to do bad things you should believe 0.53
00:14:30.640 putin he also says by the way the ayatollah says he doesn't want to do bad things you should
00:14:34.700 believe him tucker is blazingly naive and willfully naive he chooses to be naive in believing
00:14:44.200 homicidal and and in the case of the ayatollah religious fanatics who lie all the time and and
00:14:52.800 and and tucker's view is well you've got to take what they say at face value we must believe them 0.90
00:14:58.020 you you recall when i did tucker's show he insisted the ayatollah is not trying to murder
00:15:02.740 donald trump mind you the ayatollah the hitmen have been prosecuted for trying to murder donald
00:15:09.680 Trump. The Ayatollah, the IRGC put out a video of Trump being murdered. They're open. They have
00:15:15.900 billboards in the streets of Tehran calling for the murder of Trump. Facts don't matter. And
00:15:22.880 actually this interview to show you just how much facts don't matter. I want you to listen to this
00:15:28.480 particular exchange about the size of the British economy compared to the size of the Russian
00:15:34.840 economy uh and spoiler alert tucker has absolutely no idea what he's talking about so let's explain
00:15:41.920 why russia would want to pick a fight with britain it's got a much larger economy than britain's by
00:15:49.280 i think no no no hasn't got a larger economy than britain's got a smaller economy than britain's
00:15:53.540 it's got a larger military but it's a much larger economy it has much more wealth and resources
00:15:59.540 and there's a much larger manufacturing sector.
00:16:01.860 Its GDP is smaller than the UK's.
00:16:04.460 Yeah, but GDP is not, I mean, the only measure of an economy.
00:16:08.120 It's a pretty important measure of an economy.
00:16:10.500 It's one measure we can pay with. 0.72
00:16:12.000 Russia is an economic failure.
00:16:15.040 That it could have a huge economy, 1.00
00:16:17.780 but it's got a small economy because it's deeply corrupt
00:16:21.200 and it hasn't managed to use its resources effectively.
00:16:24.960 and so although the population of russia is bigger than that of the united kingdom very
00:16:30.920 significantly its gdp per capita is so much lower that the total gdp of russia is smaller
00:16:37.200 than that of the united kingdom right senator before i get your response to to that and again
00:16:41.760 this is just being schooled 101 and and we should break it down i do also want to take a moment and
00:16:46.620 talk to you about americans united for life your daughter or your granddaughter could be having an
00:16:51.020 abortion in her bedroom or bathroom and you may never even know about it. That is how dramatically
00:16:55.680 abortion has changed in America today. Abortion pills can be sent through the mail and taken at
00:17:00.900 home, far from an abortion facility and often behind closed doors. According to the Guttmacher
00:17:05.800 Institute, chemical abortions account for roughly two-thirds of abortions in America in 2023 alone.
00:17:12.260 Abortion facilities have not simply disappeared from our communities. For many women and girls,
00:17:17.100 it has moved from the abortion facility into their homes.
00:17:20.600 Even more alarming, access to abortion pills
00:17:22.660 can create opportunities for abusers to pressure,
00:17:25.480 coerce, or even force women into abortions against their will.
00:17:29.140 Americans United for Life is working through law, policy,
00:17:32.700 education, and advocacy to protect women and girls from coercion,
00:17:36.940 stop the dangerous distribution of abortion drugs,
00:17:39.760 and defend human life.
00:17:41.380 Now, this work takes people like you getting involved.

00:17:52.440 That's aul.org slash verdict.

00:18:07.920 All right, Senators, so let's just get your initial reaction to that clip there from Tucker
00:18:11.780 where he's trying to claim one thing about the economy comparing the UK and he gets schooled
00:18:16.580 and yet he doesn't back down. But look, Tucker has an ideological mission and it is a mission
00:18:21.260 to tear down America, to tear down free enterprise, to tear down the constitution.
00:18:25.520 It is a mission to build up the Nazis, to build up Putin and the Russians. It is a mission to 0.75
00:18:30.860 build up the Ayatollah and the enemies of America. It is a mission, you know, I don't know if Tucker 0.88
00:18:35.960 is being paid by the enemies of America, but I will say this, he would not say one word differently.
00:18:41.780 If he were being paid tens of millions of dollars by nations like Qatar, and he did go buy a vacation home in Qatar, which is a really weird thing.
00:18:50.460 What he said there, because he operates in this fact-free environment, and he normally invites kooks on his show who don't dispute when he makes up his facts.
00:18:58.960 And so he says, well, gosh, Russia's economy is much larger than the United Kingdom's, which sounds perfectly fine if you actually are living in a world free from reality.
00:19:09.740 Fortunately, Jacob Rees-Mogg knew the reality.
00:19:14.000 And here's what I tweeted with this segment. 0.96
00:19:15.660 I said, Tucker, who adores Putin, idiotically claims the Russian economy is larger than the UK's. 0.94
00:19:23.320 That is objectively, laughably false. 0.98
00:19:27.780 And here are the numbers.
00:19:29.740 The United Kingdom's GDP, 4.24 trillion.
00:19:36.600 Yep.
00:19:36.860 Russia's GDP, $2.65 trillion.
00:19:42.180 So the UK is almost twice as much as Russia.
00:19:46.500 Now, Russia's population is much bigger.
00:19:48.860 So the United Kingdom's GDP per capita, $61,056 per capita.
00:19:57.020 Russia's GDP per capita, $18,525.
00:20:02.360 So it is less than a third per capita.
00:20:06.120 But even with their bigger population, it is still barely half the size of the British economy.
00:20:14.640 And by the way, the United Kingdom's economy is the fifth largest in the world.
00:20:18.440 And Russia, which is a much bigger population, is the ninth largest in the world.
00:20:23.420 And why is it that Tucker says things like, well, the Russian economy is much bigger than the United Kingdom?
00:20:29.800 Because, look, I love that Reese Muggs says, no, no, it's a failed economy.
00:20:35.480 Why? Because it was built on communism, was built on collectivism and statism, and communism and collectivism and statism doesn't work.
00:20:43.640 And remember Tucker's idiotic video where he went to Russia and went to a grocery store and proceeded to, like, you know, just about have heart palpitations over the grocery store. 0.96
00:20:55.680 And it was a bizarre inversion of one of the pivotal moments when we won the Cold War. 0.97
00:21:02.800 and and that was towards the end of the cold war boris yeltsin came to texas came actually to houston
00:21:09.040 and went to a grocery store went to a grocery store in houston not too far from johnson space
00:21:14.860 center and he looked at the grocery store he looked at the aisles with with you know 30 kinds
00:21:20.080 of breakfast cereal and and candy bars and ice creams and steak and like anything you wanted
00:21:24.780 a million kinds kinds of fruit everything that we see in a grocery store all the time
00:21:29.180 and he was relating it to a Russian grocery store
00:21:32.960 where if they had food, they had one kind of bread.
00:21:35.880 If they had food, they had one kind of,
00:21:37.880 they had bread and vodka.
00:21:39.660 And it made a profound effect on him
00:21:42.900 that we cannot possibly keep up with the economy
00:21:46.180 that is the American free enterprise system.
00:21:48.680 Well, Tucker hates capitalism. 0.52
00:21:51.980 Why is he defending Adolf Hitler?
00:21:53.740 Why is he defending Putin?
00:21:55.200 Because he hates capitalism.
00:21:56.760 And we've said before, anti-Semitism is the gateway drug to anti-capitalism and anti-Americanism.
00:22:04.140 Tucker calls Donald Trump the Antichrist.
00:22:07.480 He wants him removed from office.
00:22:09.640 Tucker has endorsed, formally endorsed, an explicit communist and Islamist, Abdul Al-Sayed, for the Senate.
00:22:18.480 That is where the woke right ends up.
00:22:20.820 Pause there just for a second and dive into that, because I don't think a lot of Americans understand what you just said is a reality about him endorsing El-Sayed.
00:22:28.240 I think it's an important moment here that we should take a moment and talk about it, because if you think that Tucker hasn't gone hardcore crazy,
00:22:36.500 go back to the point you just made, Senator, which is he has now come out and endorsed El-Sayed to be elected over a Republican.
00:22:43.280 He has indeed. He wants an Islamist and a communist to represent the state of Michigan and a Democrat in the United States Senate.
00:22:53.880 But by the way, Tucker, this whole interview is truly bizarre.
00:22:58.860 At another point, Tucker is complaining that it was terrible that the United Kingdom never apologized to the Nazis.
00:23:06.700 And I want you to listen to this exchange because apparently he is seeking retribution on behalf of the Nazis that he felt were not treated fairly by the allies who won World War II.
00:23:20.180 Here, give a listen.
00:23:20.980 Now, the British government did that in the Second World War immediately. 0.56
00:23:24.180 It did in the Second World War.
00:23:25.200 So I knew a wonderful man, amazing man, and I'd gathered to his fathers, who was rounded
00:23:32.820 up in 1939 when water was declared, was put in an enemy aliens camp, and in Shropshire.
00:23:42.080 And he was German, Jewish, and all Germans were rounded up, he was a fighting age.
00:23:46.960 The day he left the camp, he joined the British Army, and he ended the war as a brigadier.
00:23:51.800 Amazing.
00:23:52.800 Yeah, he sounds like a very forgiving man.
00:23:54.440 He was a wonderful man.
00:23:55.720 He sounds it.
00:23:56.700 But I'm not talking about people who are rounded up as potential foreign nationals.
00:24:00.320 We can't round up people for their expression of opinions, and people must be free to oppose.
00:24:05.540 But the British government has never apologized for violating its own ancient principles
00:24:10.160 by rounding up not simply members of the opposition party, but their families.
00:24:14.600 Yeah, yeah.
00:24:15.480 And I'm talking with the Mosleys, but also everyone who worked with the Mosleys,
00:24:18.660 the whole leadership, and their wives.
00:24:20.620 And no one's ever apologized for that.
00:24:22.140 Well, look, Tucker is all in on defending the Nazis against the West.
00:24:27.760 You know, the person he's talking about there is Oswald Mosley.
00:24:31.520 Oswald Mosley led the British Union of fascists.
00:24:36.220 Now, who was Mosley?
00:24:37.600 He married in 1936 at Joseph Goebbels' home in Berlin.
00:24:44.220 You know who was a guest at his wedding?
00:24:46.340 Adolf Hitler.
00:24:47.560 There you go.
00:24:48.140 um carlston simply calls them members of the opposition party that would be the nazis that
00:24:55.220 would be goebbels and and and hitler now to be clear the british union of fascists never won
00:25:02.200 even a single seat in parliament they weren't the opposition party they weren't a party who was
00:25:06.220 elected anywhere at the same time that that tucker is vigorously defending our enemies
00:25:14.300 and attacking America and attacking the United Kingdom, attacking our friends,
00:25:19.900 he is also just brazenly lying.
00:25:23.480 So he claims that the United Kingdom persecutes people for speech,
00:25:27.780 but Russia never does that.
00:25:29.720 And I want you to listen to this exchange because, again, facts never intrude into Tucker World.
00:25:36.120 I just don't understand, given what you've already just conceded,
00:25:39.480 conceded that the government of the united kingdom is punishing and prohibiting people
00:25:48.060 and ideas it doesn't like russia is not doing that so how is what to you you can't say you
00:25:55.240 russia it's doing it in spades it's beating people up it's arresting them in your country 0.60
00:25:59.940 well it's no your citizens russia has poisoned people in this country 0.64
00:26:04.460 so there he goes uh yet you know tucker is claiming russia does not persecute people for
00:26:11.280 saying things they don't like has he never heard of a gulag has he never read the gulag archipelago 0.58
00:26:16.580 i'm sure he hasn't um has he not seen uh the the murders that russia carries out the poisonings
00:26:23.800 that russia carries out now to be fair he has a legitimate criticism that the brits have been
00:26:29.700 violating free speech. In this podcast, we have spent a lot of time talking about how the United
00:26:34.840 Kingdom has run away from their free speech traditions. I think that's a real failing
00:26:38.540 for our British friends. I hope they get back to actually defending free speech.
00:26:46.660 But there is no comparison between the Brits and the Russians. The Russians murder people 1.00
00:26:54.420 who say things they don't like. 0.96
00:26:56.540 The Brits don't do that.
00:26:57.640 They do send a Bobby to arrest you.
00:27:00.200 And you know what happens
00:27:01.220 when someone sends a Bobby to arrest you.
00:27:03.600 It's an unarmed Bobby
00:27:04.580 that's wearing a little round hat.
00:27:07.620 And if they see a crime...
00:27:09.220 Don't worry, he's got his nightstick,
00:27:10.060 so you should be fine.
00:27:11.240 Well, and the unarmed Bobby,
00:27:12.920 if they see a crime happening,
00:27:15.160 they will rush up to you and say,
00:27:17.620 I say stop!
00:27:19.720 And if you don't stop,
00:27:21.880 I shall yell stop again!
00:27:24.420 yeah louder yeah exactly uh that that sadly are are the bobbies but it is true that they
00:27:31.040 might arrest you for free speech in the united kingdom i hope they get back to their long
00:27:35.740 tradition of free speech but the brits do not have gulags they do not have siberia they do not
00:27:42.360 engage in poisoning and murdering their political opponents and there's one of two options either
00:27:49.800 Tucker is so willfully blind that he has no idea, that he doesn't know Russia does that. He also
00:27:54.940 claimed he didn't know that the Ayatollah is trying to murder Donald Trump. I assume when it 1.00
00:28:00.040 comes to Hitler and Goebbels and all the people he's defending, he doesn't know about the
00:28:03.440 concentration camps and the Holocaust. He either doesn't know, in which case he's willfully
00:28:09.740 ignorant and blind, or even worse, he does know, which I think is likely the case, and he just 0.98
00:28:14.960 doesn't care. He's just willing to lie because he has a propaganda mission. And you should ask 0.99
00:28:20.340 yourself, why is his objective to tear down America, to tear down the United Kingdom, to tear 0.87
00:28:27.320 down the West, to tear down Jews, to tear down Israel, to tear down capitalism, and to build up 0.73
00:28:33.620 Putin and Russia, to build up Hugo Chavez, another communist from Venezuela, to build up Mondami, 0.78
00:28:41.580 to build up Abdul Al-Sayed, to build up Sharia law, to build up the Ayatollah, 0.51
00:28:46.120 and to repeatedly and explicitly praise Nazis, including Adolf Hitler.
00:28:51.060 What is he trying to accomplish, and why is he doing it?
00:28:55.360 It is profoundly dangerous, and you don't have to take my word for it,
00:29:00.980 because you can listen in his own words as we played today.
00:29:04.540 Yeah, exactly. I want to move from Tucker Carlson, and we'll keep covering this,
00:29:07.780 because it's important that people know exactly what's being said out there,
00:29:10.080 to another radical and that would be in mandami but before we get to that
00:29:14.080 listen up there are enough people listening to this show right now that if they don't vote it
00:29:19.480 could swing key states in the 2026 election to the democrats and everyone listening knows every
00:29:26.040 single ultra far-left democratic socialist they're going to be showing up to vote this fall
00:29:31.360 democrats they're fired up and we can't let them win because if we lose they'll undo everything
00:29:37.680 our movement has fought so hard for.
00:29:40.380 I need you to vote early so you can bank your vote
00:29:43.480 and fight back against the left's turnout machine.
00:29:46.640 Now, if you live in the critical Senate battleground states of Maine or Ohio,
00:29:50.780 early voting is already underway starting this week.
00:29:54.460 Go to GOPVotes.org right now and find out when you can vote.
00:30:00.880 Making your voice heard is easier than ever.
00:30:03.680 You can get election reminders, look up your polling location,
00:30:07.140 and pick a date to vote early.
00:30:09.600 Go to gopvotes.org today.
00:30:13.100 Paid for by the SLF PAC,
00:30:15.620 not authorized by any candidate or candidates committee.
00:30:18.720 All right, Senator, let's wrap up with Mondani.
00:30:20.840 He's still out there doing interviews,
00:30:22.560 still pushing for the Democratic Socialist candidates
00:30:25.240 around the country and saying some pretty crazy things as well.
00:30:27.980 Well, and Mondani and Tucker agree on almost everything.
00:30:33.300 And in this instance, Mandani went on the podcast of Theo Vaughn, who, you know, it is interesting. 0.51
00:30:39.800 The woke right ends up completely overlapping and agreeing with the communists and the Islamists.
00:30:47.180 That's where they head up, that they end up coming together. 0.99
00:30:50.740 The horseshoe theory of politics is absolutely right.
00:30:54.200 And so Mandani is on Theo Vaughn's podcast, and Vaughn has been described ostensibly as someone of the right.
00:31:01.700 But if he is, he's he's woke, right, to be sure.
00:31:04.560 So listen to their conversation about about Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
00:31:09.980 A big part of of what comes next is a politics of humanity, not just for the people that we represent at home, but also the people that were bombing abroad.
00:31:19.380 But if you had your say, we would have arrested the guy, you think?
00:31:22.680 If I had my say, the U.S. government would have joined the ICC, honored every single warrant that they've issued.
00:31:28.240 Yeah. Sorry to say it like that.
00:31:30.400 But, yeah, I don't know. It's just crazy to see that guy speaking on our on our country.
00:31:35.240 Senator, respond to that.
00:31:37.080 So, look, the ICC, the International Criminal Court, is is brazenly illegal.
00:31:42.300 It is viciously anti-American.
00:31:44.400 The United States is not a party to the International Criminal Court because it is used.
00:31:48.160 Number one, the main thing the International Criminal Court is used is for anti-Semites to attack Israel.
00:31:53.120 And the United Nations is a pit of anti-Semitism where they don't care the human rights abuses that occur in Cuba, that occur in Russia, that occur in North Korea, that occur in Venezuela, that occur in China.
00:32:07.280 They don't care about the genocide, the torture that occurs.
00:32:11.000 They don't care about one million Uyghurs in China in concentration camps right now.
00:32:14.920 None of that matters.
00:32:16.380 Instead, the ICC and the UN exist to attack Israel every day because all of the anti-Semites hate Israel.
00:32:22.220 In this instance, though, there's a reason America is not a party to the ICC, because it will also be used to attack Americans, to indict American soldiers.
00:32:33.600 So when you have Mondami and Theo Vaughn saying, F yeah, and we bleeped out what he said, but it's not hard to figure out, that they want the ICC to have power, that would mean the ICC would have the power to arrest U.S. soldiers, to prosecute U.S. soldiers.
00:32:53.060 Any time America's enemies disagreed with our foreign policy, with our national security policy, the ICC would have the power to arrest and lock up U.S. soldiers fighting men and women.
00:33:05.420 That is an absolute violation of our sovereignty. 0.98
00:33:08.180 And by the way, the Tuckers and Mondamis of the world want to give away our sovereignty. 0.99
00:33:14.140 They want to make us subject to international bodies that hate America. 0.95
00:33:19.800 Understand the mission here.
00:33:21.920 It is to undermine America.
00:33:23.560 It is to undermine the Constitution.
00:33:25.080 It is to undermine your liberty, your freedoms taken away. 0.95
00:33:28.980 And yes, they hate Israel and Jews, but hating Israel and Jews, that's just like their opening 0.94
00:33:33.520 course. 0.92
00:33:33.880 That's the appetizer. 1.00
00:33:34.860 They hate Israel and Jews. 0.98
00:33:36.580 That quickly leads them to hating Americans, hating American servicemen and women, hating 0.96
00:33:40.660 American freedom, hating American capitalism.
00:33:43.260 That's where this goes.
00:33:45.040 And understand, whether it's Tucker or Mondani or the woke right, they all end up the same place as America-hating, communism-loving, Islamism-loving radicals, which is why, to underscore again, Tucker Carlson has formally endorsed Abdul al-Sayed to be in the Senate because he wants a Marxist-Islamist representing Michigan in the Senate. 0.75
00:34:15.040 When people tell you who they are, believe them. 0.63
00:34:18.520 Amen to that.
