MTG on the Neocons’ Hatred for America and What’s Truly Going on Behind the Scenes in Washington

0:01 We were just laughing about it in the studio a minute ago.

0:03 It was a year and a half ago this week was October 27th,

0:07 2024 that we all went down to New York

0:10 City to the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden.

0:14 It was in the final moments of that campaign.

0:16 And it was really one of the most exciting political events,

0:19 even after a lifetime of going to political events I've ever been to.

0:24 It was right in the middle of Manhattan, New York City,

0:27 a place that did not support Donald Trump despite the fact he's from there.

0:32 And it was again days before the presidential election.

0:35 And it was packed.

0:36 You showed up and there was a line way down the block

0:39 and then the next block and the next block after that.

0:41 And the people in the line, if you looked, weren't just from other places.

0:45 They were just bridging tunnel people coming

0:46 in from Long Island to support Trump.

0:49 Some looked like they were from Manhattan.

0:51 And people were excited.

0:52 really excited and you go inside and the place is just absolutely packed.

0:56 I spoke at the request of the campaign and was happy to do it.

1:00 And what we were laughing about a minute ago

1:03 and something I remember very well was a sea

1:05 of placards of campaign signs in the crowd all

1:08 provided by the campaign that said quote mass deportations now.

1:14 Mass deportations now.

1:15 I remember thinking well that's kind of heavy.

1:18 I don't think I've ever heard any candidate say mass deportations.

1:22 It's kind of forbidden to talk like that, mass deportations.

1:26 But the Trump campaign was saying it without apology.

1:29 And there was something thrilling about that because on the other hand, why not?

1:33 When you live in a country with more laws than anyone can keep track

1:37 of when you live in a constant state of mild anxiety that you might transgress,

1:42 break one of these laws and be held to account for it.

1:46 When you live in a country that put Martha Stewart

1:49 in jail for six months for insider trading and a lot

1:52 of other people away for a lot longer than

1:54 that for crimes that no one could even really understand or explain.

1:56 In some cases, the people committing them didn't know they were committing them.

2:00 That's real.

2:01 If you live in a country like that, why shouldn't foreigners

2:06 who break your law at very least be asked to leave?

2:09 Is that crazy?

2:10 And if they're not asked to leave, then why are you obeying the law?

2:15 Why is you living in fear of violating the tax code

2:19 or some SEC reggg or some wetlands regulation that's never been voted

2:24 on but that you can be severely punished for breaking filling

2:28 in a vernal pool in your backyard without knowing it etc etc etc.

2:33 If foreigners don't have to follow our laws why are we paying our taxes?

2:39 That's real.

2:40 And by the way, shouldn't the people who live in a country,

2:43 who are born in that country, get to decide who else lives in the country?

2:47 Isn't it up to the population who comes and whether

2:51 or not they want to be replaced by new people?

2:54 Maybe they do.

2:55 Okay.

2:55 In a Democratic Republic, it's their right.

2:58 But if they don't want to be,

3:00 if they want to keep the population pretty much the same,

3:03 they don't want any radical change,

3:04 and that is the view of most people, why can't they have that?

3:08 And if they're not getting it, if you have a rogue presidential administration

3:13 that spends four years just inviting the rest

3:16 of the world to come to the United States and live off public funds,

3:22 use public schools and drive on public

3:23 roads and use the emergency rooms for healthcare,

3:25 thereby destroying hospitals across the country,

3:28 making it impossible for poor Americans who want

3:31 to get their healthcare in emergency rooms to do so.

3:35 Why is it crazy to make them leave and come and apply legally if they want

3:41 to move here and then turn them down if you want to cuz again it's your country.

3:47 It's up to you who lives here.

3:49 None of that is crazy.

3:51 And so as you looked out or as I looked out

3:54 from the stage at Madison Square Garden on this sea of placards saying

3:57 mass deportations now it was kind of titillating but it was also

4:01 kind of thrilling because it wasn't just about deporting people some of whom

4:06 are probably very nice people doubtless very nice people don't want

4:10 to be deported of course understand that but their desire not to be

4:15 deported has to in a republic be balanced against and given less

4:20 weight and the population's right to decide who else gets to live here.

4:24 I that's very basic.

4:26 In fact, it's the most basic thing.

4:28 If you don't have that, you don't have representative government.

4:32 And so to see those signs was a reminder

4:36 that actually maybe there is a political solution to this problem.

4:40 Maybe we can vote our way if not out

4:43 of this at least to a slightly better place.

4:46 can exert some authority as voters.

4:48 The people in charge can allow us

4:51 to influence the course of events in our country.

4:55 Isn't that the way the system is supposed to work?

4:58 It was pretty exciting the possibility that could be real.

5:01 But immigration was not the only topic that day.

5:04 I remember very vividly standing backstage with a bunch

5:07 of the other speakers and listening to people as they

5:09 stood up and a lot of them talked about Israel

5:12 and America's steadfast bedrock commitment to the security of Israel,

5:18 the only democracy in the Middle East, our ally in the region,

5:24 historic ties, defending Israel is defending the West, etc., etc., etc.

5:28 And personally, I didn't think that much about it.

5:30 For maybe the past 10 years,

5:33 maybe even longer, maybe since the Bush administration,

5:36 public declarations of love for Israel are kind of a stock

5:39 feature at Republican political events because Republican party is for Israel.

5:42 And that's okay.

5:43 It's okay to be for Israel.

5:44 I never really thought too much about it.

5:46 Israel not being really at the center

5:48 of my thinking about anything most of the time.

5:51 So, it didn't occur to me that a party publicly committed above all

5:57 to the defense of Israel would be incapable or unwilling to defend itself.

6:03 Never occurred to me.

6:05 Seemed like you could do both.

6:07 Okay, we like Israel.

6:09 That's great.

6:10 Doesn't mean we can't make life better here for Americans, does it?

6:14 Doesn't mean we can't act in our own interest, too,

6:16 even as we're acting in the interest of this other country.

6:19 because there are some highly enthusiastic proponents of that other

6:23 country in positions of authority in the Republican party.

6:26 That's okay.

6:26 We can all coexist.

6:28 We'll support Israel, whatever that means,

6:29 as long as it doesn't mean like going to war

6:32 with Iran in regime change effort that's going to cause global famine,

6:36 destroy global energy markets, make America poor,

6:39 wreck the US dollar, cause hyperinflation.

6:41 As long as we don't do that, totally fine.

6:44 Want to support Israel?

6:45 Great.

6:46 You're into that.

6:47 I'm into model trains.

6:49 Next guy's into golf.

6:50 We all have our obsessions.

6:53 Yours is Israel.

6:54 It's okay.

6:55 But they're not mutually exclusive.

6:57 But it turns out they may be mutually exclusive.

7:01 It turns out that maybe Jesus was right.

7:03 You can't serve two masters.

7:05 You could only have one because you will

7:08 always wind up loving one and hating the other.

7:12 Maybe that's not just a theological concept.

7:14 It's a hard and true fact of human nature.

7:16 You can only have one core loyalty and to all

7:20 others you will have not just indifference but maybe contempt.

7:24 And that's becoming very very obvious a year and a half

7:27 after that Madison Square Garden rally where not only

7:31 have we not witnessed Matt's deportations or the completion

7:35 of the wall or even the substantial construction of the wall,

7:39 we've witnessed a continuation of hundreds of thousands

7:42 of H1B visa workers coming here mostly from India.

7:45 70% from India, mostly into tech jobs.

7:49 at exactly the moment when the same people advocating

7:54 for those H-1B visas are warning us, warning us,

7:58 straight up warning us that entire sectors of our economy

8:01 are about to go away thanks to AI

8:04 that this is really the last moment that your kid

8:08 with a degree in computer science or programming has be

8:11 able to find a job because they are now

8:13 telling us as of today that 50% at least maybe

8:18 maybe more of all American jobs will be affected maybe

8:24 eliminated by AI in the next 2 or 3 years.

8:28 So this is now.

8:29 So why would you advocate for foreigners to come in and take

8:34 jobs in a sector that's about to be radically reduced in size.

8:40 In other words, there are fewer jobs,

8:43 but you're giving hundreds of thousands of them to foreign nationals.

8:48 Why would you do that?

8:49 Why would you have any immigration at all into a country

8:54 that's about to lose 50% of its high-paying jobs?

8:58 Why would you do that?

9:00 You certainly wouldn't do that if you love that country.

9:04 In fact, that's the last thing you would do.

9:06 If you were in charge of a country and you sincerely believe that 50%

9:10 of white collar jobs were going to disappear or change in some unspecified way,

9:16 meaning begin to disappear.

9:18 How many people would you import into your labor market?

9:23 Well, zero.

9:24 Not one.

9:25 Not a single one.

9:27 You would want a much tighter labor market

9:30 because the value of labor is about to plummet.

9:34 And that means that millions of Americans will be

9:38 left with not enough or nothing at all to do.

9:42 And that will be terrible for them

9:44 because people without work are volatile, unhappy people.

9:47 They're people without a purpose.

9:48 And that will mean disaster potentially for your country

9:52 because unemployed people in large numbers are dangerous.

9:55 And that's why the last time this happened,

9:56 the president of the United States at the time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt,

10:00 whatever his faults, many manifold,

10:03 decided to mobilize unemployed men in the Civilian Conservation

10:07 Corps in the largest peacetime mobilization in world history.

10:10 And you know who led that mobilization?

10:13 General Douglas MacArthur, later famous for many other reasons,

10:16 in the Philippines and in Japan.

10:19 He put a general in charge of putting America's unemployed men to work.

10:24 Then in the course of that work, they basically rebuilt the national parks

10:28 and built the GW Parkway through downtown DC and actually did a lot

10:33 of pretty amazing work to the country's infrastructure,

10:36 much of which still stands.

10:38 So he both avoided domestic unrest, maybe even revolution,

10:41 and he improved the country in the process.

10:44 It's not an endorsement of all of his policies.

10:46 In some ways, a truly horrible president got us

10:50 into World War II for no obvious reason, etc., etc.

10:55 But in this one way, the Roosevelt administration took very seriously

10:59 the problem of having lots of unemployed people.

11:02 What are our leaders doing about AI right now?

11:05 Well, they're trying to profit from it.

11:07 Of course, they're trying to make a lot of money from it.

11:10 their friends and family and themselves.

11:13 There's the last big boom time before the casino shuts down.

11:17 That's the first thing they're doing.

11:18 The second thing they're doing is scaring the crap out

11:21 of the rest of us about the effects of it.

11:23 Not even making any effort at all to sell

11:25 it as a positive good for the average person.

11:27 AI is coming.

11:28 It's going to be difficult, but trust me,

11:30 it's going to be awesome cuz here's why.

11:32 There's almost none of that.

11:34 There's almost no effort to reassure you that the largest technological change

11:37 in our lifetimes will be in any way a win for you.

11:40 In fact, they're telling you right to your face, it's going to be a disaster.

11:46 What is that?

11:47 Why are they telling you that to prepare you?

11:50 How do you prepare for that?

11:52 Your job goes away.

11:53 What happens next?

11:54 There's no hint.

11:55 It's going to be tough.

11:57 Yeah.

11:57 You think if this all comes true, it's going to be very, very tough.

12:01 So, why are they telling you?

12:02 And in addition to telling you,

12:04 they're also continuing to import people to compete

12:09 for a rapidly shrinking number of jobs.

12:13 Well, that's just a middle finger in your face.

12:18 That's a humiliation exercise.

12:20 That's the opposite of trying to comfort you.

12:23 That's trying to stoke your anxiety.

12:26 That's trying to make you feel worthless.

12:28 That's revealing how they really feel about you.

12:30 That's answering the central question of our moment, which is,

12:33 are we a ruled by people who are

12:36 selfish and short-sighted and capable of longitudinal thought,

12:39 totally unwise, greedy?

12:40 Is that the leadership class we have?

12:43 Or is it even worse than that?

12:46 Are we ruled by an elite that actually hates

12:49 us and hates the West and is doing whatever it

12:52 can to harm the population of the United States

12:55 and the West and of Europe and of Canada and Australia, New Zealand, the West.

13:02 Are the people in charge actively angry at us?

13:06 Do they not like us at all?

13:08 Do they mean us harm?

13:10 You don't want to think that.

13:13 That's so dark.

13:14 Could that really be true?

13:16 Hard to imagine it.

13:17 Your average American used to living in a very nice country, very nice people,

13:22 a country where people are so nice that people who aren't nice,

13:26 people with dark motives, really go out of their way to hide those motives,

13:29 to dress them up as I don't know what,

13:34 charity to build a NGO around whatever plans they have.

13:40 No, really, we're helping you here.

13:43 Americans are not used to imagining that the people

13:47 in charge have not simply no interest in them, but actively desire to harm them.

13:55 And the first time most people in this country

13:59 even entertained the possibility of something so

14:01 grotesque was during CO when it became really

14:04 clear that the CO shots not only weren't safe, they weren't effective.

14:07 There was no possible upside to this whatsoever.

14:10 And then the downsides became well too obvious to ignore.

14:14 People started dying.

14:16 Kids started having heart attacks.

14:19 Women stopped having babies in the numbers they were having before.

14:23 It was causing infertility.

14:24 Obviously people, you know, started getting pancreatic cancer,

14:28 something that was so rare 30 years ago.

14:31 It was the kind of thing you'd heard about once in a while.

14:34 Pancreatic cancer.

14:34 Yeah, there's no fixing that one.

14:35 That's the worst cancer you have.

14:37 It's incredibly painful and it's not curable.

14:39 All of a sudden, you know, 10 people with pancreatic cancer.

14:43 What's that?

14:44 Maybe it's not connected to the CO shots.

14:47 We wouldn't know because no one's tried to figure it out.

14:52 So vanishingly small is the interest from our ruling

14:57 class in finding out the effects of the COVID vacc.

15:03 Our vast public health infrastructure has not been mobilized to find out

15:09 what the effects of the biggest inoculation campaign in global history were.

15:16 We still can't say, but it's obvious they weren't positive.

15:20 So if you wind up killing a lot of people, which the code vax did,

15:25 and then you refuse to find out where the virus came from in the first place,

15:31 and then you pretend that nothing bad happened,

15:34 it's kind of hard not to suspect that maybe you want to hurt me.

15:38 You don't want to think that, but what's the other answer?

15:42 But it's on the question of immigration and not just

15:46 immigration on this eve of technological revolution on the eve

15:50 of AI that it becomes very very clear that the same

15:55 people who pushed us into a regime change war with Iran.

16:01 A war that will by definition cause famine even now if it stopped today.

16:07 People would starve around the world.

16:10 There's it's a math question as to with energy and fertilizer and this will

16:18 cause hunger and starvation mostly in Africa but not just those same

16:24 people are also the ones literally the same people who are pushing the United

16:30 States to continue to allow the rest of the world to move here.

16:35 And once again, there is no justification for this on practical grounds.

16:41 Zero.

16:42 And you know that because no one's even trying to make the case.

16:45 It used to be when people stood up and said,

16:47 "We need more immigration." They at least paid

16:49 you the compliment of explaining that our industries, our factories need this.

16:54 Our who's going to pick the grapes?

16:57 Our farms need this.

16:58 Low-wage immigrant labor makes the bounty possible.

17:01 That's the case they made for generations, more than 100 years.

17:05 And in some cases they were right.

17:07 It's true.

17:08 The United States did get a lot out of the consumer

17:12 in the United States did get a lot out of low-wage immigrant labor.

17:16 Fact.

17:17 There were also downsides.

17:18 But the economic case at least was coherent.

17:22 Short-term it was coherent.

17:23 You never hear that anymore because it's not true.

17:26 Most agriculture is automated.

17:27 Tech jobs are going away.

17:28 Law firms are going to start laying off people.

17:32 Meta, which you'd think would be immune from all of this because it's got

17:36 a pretty great business model based on spying

17:38 on you and selling your preferences to advertisers.

17:41 Meta laid off 8,000 people the other day thanks to AI.

17:45 So, this is coming for everyone.

17:48 So at that moment to advocate for more low-wage low-skll

17:53 immigration into the United States which we I think we can

17:57 say conclusively despite the virtue or lack of thereof among

18:00 the specific immigrants I think we can say is a net cost

18:03 to the United States there's really no debate about that at this point

18:08 anyone advocating for that is aggressively opposed to the interests

18:12 of the population that's shocking but it's happening And it's

18:16 the same people who pushed for the war with Iran specifically.

18:20 So two weeks ago, there was a vote in the House

18:24 of Representatives about whether to extend temporary protective status,

18:28 TPS, to hundreds of thousands of Haitians who

18:31 have been living here for quite some time.

18:33 They came here illegally.

18:34 They were granted protection for reasons that aren't exactly clear.

18:37 It's not obvious why the United States owes the people of Haiti a debt.

18:40 United States has not made Haiti better,

18:43 but not for lack of spending money on Haiti.

18:45 Hades problems are resistant to our interventions.

18:48 I think we can say that for whatever reason,

18:52 but the United States has been intervening in Haiti for over a hundred years.

18:55 It hasn't gotten better.

18:56 So, hundreds of thousands of Haitians came here illegally.

18:59 They were granted this temporary legal status and the House

19:02 of Representatives had to vote on whether to reup it or not.

19:06 And they just did.

19:08 And 10 Republicans voted with all Democrats to extend the protection,

19:12 which is now extended.

19:13 And they'll tell you they're not taking any welfare benefits.

19:16 But of course, like all poor people who move here,

19:21 they are fundamentally dependent on public services.

19:25 Of course, particularly healthare at a moment

19:28 when the average birthright American is wondering

19:32 how do I pay my health insurance premiums or just has forgone them completely.

19:36 Doesn't have health insurance.

19:37 Many people in this country,

19:39 millions of people have decided, I can't afford health insurance.

19:42 Is that the moment that you want to turn our public health resources,

19:47 our emergency rooms over to foreigners?

19:50 It's just the opposite.

19:52 That is an act of aggression against Americans.

19:55 Well, who voted for it?

19:57 Of the 10 Republicans who voted

19:59 to extend temporary protection another 18 months only.

20:03 In fact, the most fervent supporters of the state

20:08 of Israel in the House of Representatives,

20:11 almost to a person, are the same people who voted for this.

20:14 And they would include Mike Lawler of New York,

20:19 the sponsor of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act

20:22 or something to that effect, a censorship bill.

20:25 Criticism of Israel should be illegal.

20:27 That's the thrust always.

20:28 He's one of the people who voted for this.

20:32 Congressman Don Bacon.

20:33 Congressman Don Bacon of Omaha, Nebraska, second district.

20:38 In fact, it's Warren Buffett's dad's seat.

20:42 Don Bacon, Air Force General,

20:44 one of the most flid red-in-the-faced neocons in the Congress.

20:47 Nicole Melotakus, also of New York.

20:51 Congressman Salazar from Florida.

20:53 These are Israel's most loyal soldiers in the United States Congress,

20:59 and they are voting to open our borders once again.

21:04 So, it's yet more evidence, and that evidence has been mounting for many years,

21:08 as we're going to show you in a minute,

21:10 that there is a direct connection between loyalty

21:12 to a foreign power and a desire to hurt this country.

21:15 You cannot be loyal to two masters at once.

21:18 You will love one and hate the other, to restate.

21:21 And again, that's not just a Bible verse.

21:23 It's the daily lived reality of every human being.

21:26 You can have but one true loyalty, and you will hate the rest.

21:31 And they clearly do.

21:32 And we've known this for a while.

21:34 So here's now semi famous not famous enough

21:37 videotape of a man called Bill Crystal speaking

21:39 at a AEI event AEI is a neoconservative

21:42 think tank in Washington the American Enterprise Institute.

21:44 And Bill Clint Crystal was for many many years the most famous

21:49 and most influential neoonservative voice

21:51 in Washington DC and hence the country.

21:53 He's one of the founders of the project for the new American century which

21:57 laid out why in about 199798 why we needed to go to war with Iraq.

22:03 This was before the pretext of 9/11 was introduced

22:06 before they told us that actually Saddam was behind 9/11.

22:10 This was just a blueprint for how the United States military needs to knock

22:15 off needs to regime change Israel's opponents

22:18 in the region to give Israel regional hegemony.

22:21 And now a lot of us who watched this happen,

22:24 in fact I worked about 10 feet away from where

22:28 that document was formulated didn't pay a lot of attention.

22:31 It didn't seem first of all likely to happen.

22:34 Are we really going to invade Iraq,

22:37 kill Gaddafi, overturn the Assad regime in Syria?

22:39 I mean, it's so far away.

22:41 Are we really going to do that?

22:43 We've got problems here.

22:44 I don't think it's actually going to happen.

22:46 Number one, and number two, that's just a different realm.

22:48 That's foreign policy.

22:49 That's like an academic exercise.

22:51 doesn't really have much to do with life here in the United States.

22:54 And in any case, the people advocating for it are doing so and they

22:58 tell us this all the time because they think it's good for the United States.

23:02 This is in our interest.

23:03 This is for our safety.

23:05 We need to spend a trillion dollars or now a trillion half

23:08 dollars a year on the Pentagon so we will thrive at home.

23:11 So the homeland will be safe and prosperous.

23:13 That's we call it the Department of Homeland

23:15 Security because the first concern is the homeland,

23:18 the country where we live, the country our ancestors built.

23:20 the United States.

23:21 That's the goal is to protect the United States and its people.

23:25 Cuz what is the United States but its people?

23:28 That's all it is.

23:29 It's American citizens.

23:30 And we need to help them.

23:33 And admittedly, it's kind of complicated our plan.

23:35 We're going to we're going to bring democracy to flower in the Middle East,

23:39 but that will make it a lot better here.

23:41 That's what they were telling us.

23:42 And some of us who weren't paying enough attention or weren't wise enough

23:46 to understand the difference between a truth and a lie kind of ignored it.

23:53 Okay, now Syria, Iraq, go crazy.

23:56 But with the rise of Donald Trump in 2015,

24:00 it became a lot clearer what was actually going on.

24:04 Donald Trump, whatever his demonstrated faults, is brilliant at one thing.

24:10 He is a genius.

24:12 And this may be unintentional at bringing into stark

24:15 relief the differences in worldviews between people and groups.

24:18 Donald Trump is a living roarshock blot.

24:20 You look at Donald Trump, what do you see?

24:23 And so his purpose really for the last 10 years,

24:27 maybe his most important purpose has been to show

24:29 the rest of us what the debate is really about and what the stakes really are

24:33 and what the people involved in those debates actually think.

24:36 because something about Donald Trump evokes a kind of involuntary

24:40 honesty in people and they just blurt out what they think.

24:43 And that happened to Bill Crystal in 2017.

24:46 Now, Crystal was a kind of half-hearted Trump supporter up until

24:52 the moment in early 2016 when Trump traveled to Greenville, South Carolina,

24:56 and engaged in a Republican candidates debate,

24:59 a primary debate with Jeb Bush and the other

25:01 27 people running that year or whatever the number was.

25:03 And during that debate, he famously said to Jeb Bush,

25:07 "Your brother got us into the dumbest war in history.

25:10 The Iraq war was a huge mistake.

25:13 Only the weapons manufacturers got anything out of that.

25:15 It hurt this country, killed a lot of people,

25:17 and it drained our treasury." That was a mistake.

25:20 And it was at that specific moment that Trump lost

25:25 the support of Bill Crystal and everyone like Bill Crystal in Washington,

25:30 the neoconservative foreign policy establishment.

25:32 The people who really sincerely believed the signers

25:35 of the project for the new American century mission statement,

25:38 which would include Dick Cheney and Bob Kagan, John Bolton, all of them,

25:44 all of those people decided that Trump

25:46 was not simply a candidate they couldn't support.

25:48 he was their enemy and they become became famously never Trump

25:52 and that's why that was the issue his criticism of the Iraq

25:57 war was the issue that drove them not simply away

26:00 from Trump but to the polar opposite position many became Democrats including

26:04 Bill Crystal and that really should have told us something right

26:08 there really that's your red line the Iraq war why is

26:12 that so important to you what about the opioid crisis raging

26:15 here what about the fact that our industrial drill base is gone.

26:18 Have you driven across America recently?

26:20 How's it look?

26:21 Midtown Manhattan, is it is it pretty clean?

26:24 And this immigration question, why shouldn't we build a wall?

26:27 We paid for Israel's wall.

26:29 Why can't we have one?

26:31 What's the answer?

26:33 There was very little conversation about that.

26:36 Why is this one issue, support for Israel, the only thing that matters to you?

26:42 It's hard to know, but it clearly was.

26:45 And in the case of Bill Crystal,

26:47 we're grateful that it was because he was so enraged by Trump that he

26:52 began to tell the truth and he began to see what he really thinks.

26:55 Not simply about Trump, not that interesting,

26:57 but about the United States and his population,

27:00 the people who live here, Americans, American citizens.

27:03 What do you think of them, Bill Crystal?

27:07 Well, here in 2017, Bill Crystal explains what he thinks of the rest of us.

27:11 Watch.

27:12 Look, to be totally honest, if things are so bad,

27:14 as you say, with the white working class,

27:16 don't you want to get new Americans in who aren't going to be I'm serious.

27:20 You can make a case that this is going

27:22 on too long and this is too crazy probably.

27:24 And I hope this thing isn't being like,

27:27 you know, videotaped or ever shown anywhere.

27:29 My whatever tiny pathetic future I have is going to be totally coll.

27:33 You can make a case that America has become has been great

27:36 because every every I think John Adams said this the beginning, right?

27:39 Basically, if you're in a free society, a capitalist society, after two, three,

27:43 four generations of hard work,

27:44 everyone becomes kind of decadent, lazy, spoiled, whatever.

27:47 And then you luckily you have these waves of people coming in from Italy

27:52 and Ireland and Russia and now Mexico who really want to work hard and really

27:57 want to succeed and really want their kids to live better lives than them

27:59 and aren't sort of clipping coupons or hoping

28:02 that they can hang on and meanwhile,

28:04 you know, grew up with spoiled kids and so forth.

28:08 It it's hard to even comprehend the contempt in that statement

28:12 for clipping coupons and kind of hanging on lazy, decadent, spoiled.

28:18 He's describing Americans.

28:19 He's describing you and the people who live next

28:21 to you and down the street and across the country.

28:23 is describing people whose ancestors built this nation

28:26 and he's given up on them and he hates them

28:30 and he doesn't have the self-control to prevent himself

28:34 from saying so out loud which he just did clipping coupons.

28:38 Now think of it this way.

28:40 If you're a leader of this or any

28:43 other country or any organization or any family,

28:46 your duty is to the people you lead and that duty

28:50 has to be informed by love for those people.

28:54 And so imagine the father of unruly kids taking the same position.

28:59 My kids are hard to deal with.

29:01 They're lazy.

29:02 They're spoiled.

29:02 They don't have any money.

29:04 They're clipping coupons or whatever.

29:05 Just hanging on.

29:06 So to a father who loves his kids,

29:09 of course the answer would be, "What can I do to help?

29:12 How can I make them less lazy, less entitled?

29:14 How can I give them spark, drive?

29:16 How can I get them on the right path?" No decent father would say,

29:22 "These kids are way below my expectation.

29:24 It's inevitable, by the way.

29:26 When they get to their teen years, they're just useless.

29:28 I'm getting new kids.

29:29 I'm just going to adopt some new kids." Maybe they don't even speak English.

29:32 I don't have to even listen to their concerns, really.

29:35 Maybe they'll just be so grateful for three square meals,

29:38 they'll do whatever I say.

29:40 And my own kids, they can go die.

29:42 A father with that attitude would be a monster.

29:45 A leader of a country with that attitude is a monster.

29:48 And that is exactly the attitude Bill Crystal

29:51 revealed maybe for the first time in public.

29:55 And it's an attitude with profound consequences.

29:59 And maybe it shouldn't surprise us.

30:03 Anyone who can advocate for the murder of children in Gaza,

30:09 actual kids, Palestinian kids, but still kids, not political,

30:13 not responsible for any any crime at all cuz they're children.

30:19 Anyone who can look at their deaths and say,

30:22 "No big deal." is probably not the kind of person

30:26 you want in charge of anything in your country.

30:31 Because that reveals hatred for other human beings.

30:37 And no one who hates other human beings like that can ever have

30:41 authority over you because they'll treat you

30:43 like the Palestinians at a certain point.

30:45 And they are.

30:46 So it shouldn't shock us.

30:47 But when that video came out, it did shock the few who were paying attention.

30:52 Really?

30:52 I thought the neocon program was designed to help us.

30:55 At least that's what you claimed.

30:58 But you have hatred for us.

31:00 And in the subsequent years,

31:02 the nine years since he said that, it's become incredibly obvious.

31:06 Virtually every bad policy emanating from our government comes

31:12 from exactly to a person the same members of Congress

31:17 and the same members of the administration who are

31:20 advocating for wars like the one we're in now.

31:23 All of them are bad for the country

31:26 and they would include and the list is very long.

31:30 AI again hard to see how that's good for us.

31:33 Hard to see how it's a good idea to put a data center in your town.

31:39 Your utilities go up, your water gets poisoned, almost nobody gets employed.

31:44 How is this a win for you?

31:46 Shut up.

31:46 We're getting a data center.

31:47 That would include our drug policy where over

31:50 100,000 Americans still die every year of overdose.

31:53 What are we doing about that?

31:55 Is it even a conversation?

31:57 No.

31:57 That would include the more grotesque and flamboyant and cartoonish

32:02 expressions of hatred toward Americans like transgender surgeries for children.

32:06 Yes, those are still going on because neocons

32:09 in the Congress have blocked any attempt to stop them.

32:13 That's a fact.

32:14 You can look it up.

32:17 And above all, it informs their views of immigration,

32:21 which are motivated, as Bill Crystal just showed,

32:24 not by what we thought they were motivated by, trying to hike GDP.

32:28 They think it's good for the aggregate economy.

32:31 No, they don't like the people who live

32:34 here and they would like to see them replaced.

32:36 Crystal just said that and the behavior of the rest show that that is true.

32:39 And these are exactly the same people who've inspired these policies in Europe.

32:43 And let's stop lying.

32:45 Europe does not have autonomy.

32:48 Europe is a confederation called the EU that is a vassel of the United States.

32:52 We know that because there are American troops throughout Europe.

32:54 Europe is under the thumb of the control

32:57 of NATO which is controlled by the United States.

33:00 So what happens in Europe, whether it's energy policy or immigration policy,

33:04 happens because our leaders sign off on it.

33:07 So let's stop the pretense.

33:08 Germany is not making its own decisions at all.

33:11 The United States is making those decisions and those decisions over the past

33:16 30 years have destroyed the population

33:18 of Europe and that's probably not an accident.

33:21 Nor are the coming food shortages.

33:23 Nor is the coming migration crisis which is coming.

33:27 When there are food shortages in subsaharan

33:29 Africa where more than a billion people live, where are they going?

33:31 Europe and the United States?

33:33 To the West?

33:34 That's all obvious.

33:35 That's not a conspiracy theory.

33:37 Watch it happen.

33:38 and the people who inspired it knew it was going to happen and it

33:41 happening was part of the reason they did it in the first place.

33:45 So, this is just another way of letting you

33:47 know that the motives here are not only impure,

33:51 they're not simply disloyal, they are malicious.

33:54 But watch it now from a couple of members of Congress

33:58 explaining or really failing to explain why these are Republicans.

34:02 These are MAGA members.

34:04 These are very loyal soldiers in the MAGA army.

34:08 Watch them explain or again not explain.

34:11 Watch them deflect questions about why they voted

34:15 to extend temporary protection to Haitian illegal aliens.

34:18 Here's the first up and this is Maria Salazar of South Florida.

34:24 We have uh almost a hundred Democrats

34:27 that are willing to vote for this because look,

34:32 it's impossible if we the Republicans put together a bill like this one

34:36 on the floor for any Democrats in in with with Hispanics supposedly,

34:41 you know, Hispanics belong to the Democrats.

34:43 Not anymore.

34:44 Because right now we're going to be demonstrating to the Dems that we

34:48 are not such a bunch of racists that we're giving them dignity,

34:54 not citizenship, right?

34:56 So we're not racist.

34:58 Who said you were racist?

35:00 We're not racist.

35:01 So we need to do this or else we will be perceived as racist.

35:06 In fact, we will be racist.

35:08 Now, that is precisely the style of argument with air quotes that Republicans,

35:12 including Donald Trump, very famously objected to when the left employed it.

35:18 Shut up, racist.

35:19 It became a meme and for good reason.

35:21 rather than respond to the argument, rather than make the affirmative case,

35:24 it's a good idea for the United States

35:26 to do this because that sentence never got completed.

35:29 It was outrageous for you to ask questions about it

35:33 and the massive unprecedented demographic change

35:35 in this country, not just in Europe, here, especially here,

35:40 because if you asked about it or demanded

35:42 an answer to understand why it was happening, you were quote racist.

35:47 Racist.

35:48 Okay.

35:48 now.

35:49 And that is a MAGA Republican.

35:53 That is a confirmed neocon, a loyal soldier for Apac telling you

35:59 that if you ask questions about it, you're racist.

36:04 Maria Salazar, ladies and gentlemen, of the state of Florida.

36:07 But here really is someone that all of us should pay a lot closer attention to.

36:12 This is Congressman Don Bacon of Omaha.

36:15 Again, a former Air Force general.

36:16 Why is it, by the way, and you hate to even notice this because

36:20 it's there's something really troubling about it,

36:24 but the more time our representatives seem

36:27 to have spent as military officers or intelligence officers,

36:31 the more hostile they seem to be to American citizens.

36:35 It's just something we've noticed.

36:36 You don't want to think that, by the way,

36:38 is all Americans correctly have respect for their armed services.

36:41 But it is true, and anyone who served

36:44 in the Congress can verify this, that members who have been officers in the US

36:49 military tend to have the most anti-American views.

36:52 Very, very odd.

36:53 It'd be interesting to know why that is.

36:55 Just noticing.

36:56 In any case, here's Congressman Don Bacon asked by a reporter,

37:00 "Hey, why' you vote to extend this protection?

37:03 Why are you doing something that's the very opposite of what Donald

37:08 Trump ran on when you say you're a lawyer loyal soldier for Trump?

37:11 And here's the answer that Don Bacon gave.

37:14 Hi, Congressman Bacon.

37:15 Uh, you recently voted with all Democrats to extend

37:18 uh TPS for Haitians for another three years.

37:21 Um, over 90% of uh these Haitians entered the country illegally.

37:26 And actually, they're legal now.

37:27 Well, 60% of them they're legal now.

37:29 They work.

37:30 They're not allowed on welfare unless there's

37:33 unique situation like they're married to American.

37:35 And so, are you part of the no nothing party I was talking about in the 1850s?

37:40 No.

37:40 Like you represent a minority of the of the country that hates immigrants.

37:45 That's not true.

37:47 Millions of people are are just concerned about the future of this nation.

37:50 They say that you know aliens I see you're wearing a cross.

37:53 You ever read the verses in the New

37:55 Testament that talk about how you should treat immigrants?

37:56 Yeah.

37:57 I don't think that means just opening up

37:59 the the you know country for everyone to come here.

38:02 These people are legal.

38:04 What do you don't get about that?

38:06 They're legal.

38:07 Okay.

38:07 illegal and they're working, they're paying taxes,

38:09 they're not even allowed on welfare unless they're unless they're married

38:12 to an American or you there's some out when they get on it.

38:15 So I just think you'll have your facts right and you represent

38:18 like a 20% core or 20% group that I actually represent the majority

38:22 of the MAGA base and I mean the I I think you're misaligned

38:25 with the president on this and many others are concerned about that as well.

38:28 Well, I represent the vast majority.

38:30 I represent my district and I won my district.

38:32 Okay.

38:32 So, as far as the uh the amnesty bill or the dignity dignity dod bill,

38:37 because it's actually titled in Spanish, amnesty.

38:39 So, you are a hardcore anti-immigrant person.

38:41 Well, you please start reading the New Testament every day.

38:45 Maybe do you well?

38:47 You just hate immigrants.

38:49 You hate immigrants.

38:50 Notice the immediate identification of motive, which always it's always hate.

38:55 Hate.

38:56 Hate speech.

38:56 You're motivated by hate.

38:58 You actually have a sincere question.

38:59 What's the answer?

39:00 You hate immigrants.

39:01 You're a bad Christian.

39:02 Maybe you should read the New Testament.

39:04 Jesus calls for open borders.

39:05 Really, where is that, Congressman Bacon?

39:07 That would have been an interesting question to ask.

39:10 Certainly, the answer would be, "Stop hating." But what's so interesting is

39:15 that rather than explain to that reporter

39:17 why this is in the best interest of the United States, he says,

39:22 "We have to do this or else we're not

39:26 Christian and we're haters." So there is a kind

39:30 of religious fervor about this this desire to change

39:34 the population of the United States and to do it quickly.

39:37 Now on the left, this has been the goal for a very long time.

39:41 Fairly famous picture came to light once again this week

39:45 from a documentary done in the Southern Poverty Law Center and it

39:48 shows taped on the wall of the SPLC headquarters is a chart

39:52 handwritten on the declining percentage of whites in the United States.

39:56 That's the goal, of course.

39:58 Why would that be the goal?

40:00 Because the United States remaining majority

40:02 white is for some reason terrifying.

40:06 So terrifying and so upsetting that even mentioning the dem the current

40:11 demographic mix of the United States is considered a hate crime.

40:14 Can't say that because the reality itself is considered repugnant.

40:19 For some people that is dangerous, immoral,

40:23 and unacceptable, and it must be changed.

40:24 That's of course the purpose of this.

40:26 There's no plausible economic benefit to continuing temporary

40:30 protective status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians.

40:33 Like tell me how that's a win.

40:35 Maybe it is.

40:35 If it is, tell us how.

40:37 They don't even bother.

40:38 Shut up, hater.

40:39 Because of course, the true imperative is

40:41 to change the complexion of the United States.

40:43 And the left has been really clear about this.

40:45 Joe Biden said it out loud multiple times.

40:47 That's a good thing.

40:48 Nancy Pelosi said exactly the same thing.

40:50 But now you have the neocon wing

40:52 of the Republican party also saying that's the goal.

40:58 What's so interesting is that even as they say out loud effectively,

41:04 our deepest fear is that the United States will be

41:07 some kind of ethnostate with a racial majority that's white.

41:11 That's a huge fear.

41:13 Even as they say that, they demand that Israel remain an ethnostate.

41:18 Here's a tweet, and there are many, but here's just from Don Bacon,

41:23 the guy you just heard,

41:24 calling that poor woman anti-immigrant, a hater, a bad Christian.

41:27 Here's his definition of support for Israel.

41:31 And this is a tweet he sent this fall.

41:35 Zionists believe the Jewish people should have a homeland called Israel,

41:39 as promised in the Bible.

41:40 If you don't think Israel should exist as a Jewish state,

41:46 then I'd say you're an anti-semite.

41:49 You're an anti-semite.

41:50 If you don't think that Israel is inherently and has

41:53 a moral right to be a biblical right to be an ethnostate,

41:57 not just a state, a Jewish state.

41:59 Now, a lot of us are kind of agnostic on this question.

42:04 Israel wants to be an ethnostate.

42:06 Fine.

42:06 Okay.

42:07 Not my country.

42:08 Not too upset about it.

42:10 feel sorry for the mistreatment, the murder of Palestinians.

42:13 But a kind of core tenant of nationalism is each

42:17 country gets to define its purpose and its vision for itself.

42:20 And if it's not your country, it's kind of not your business as long as they're

42:23 not forcing you to say pay for it, which they are.

42:26 But let's say they weren't.

42:28 And Israel wants to remain an ethnostate, fine.

42:30 It is an ethnostate.

42:31 Don't know why it's embarrassing to say that.

42:34 Don Bacon just said that you're an anti-semite if

42:36 you don't want it to be a Jewish state.

42:38 Okay, fine.

42:39 Fair enough.

42:40 Don't agree with your definition of anti-semitism,

42:41 but it's very important to Don Bacon that Israel remain

42:44 an ethnostate and very important to most members of Congress.

42:47 They'll tell you this.

42:49 But it's at the same time repugnant the idea

42:51 that the United States should be an ethnostate.

42:53 In other words, their number one goal as a policy question is

42:56 to keep Israel an ethnostate while preventing the United States from being one.

43:02 What is that?

43:03 Why are those goals the inverse of one another?

43:08 And why are they so important?

43:10 You would think a leader of our country be

43:13 completely agnostic as to the demographic makeup of Israel.

43:15 Why does that matter to us exactly?

43:17 What effect does that have on the United States?

43:19 Why is that our concern?

43:20 Again, as long as we don't have to pay for it,

43:22 your weird apartate system or the murder of your racial opponents,

43:27 we shouldn't be paying for that.

43:29 But as long as we're not,

43:31 how many members of Congress are standing up and saying it's really important

43:34 that China remain 95% Honchinese or it's bad that they remain 95% Honchinese?

43:39 Members of Congress don't even know what the ethnic mix of China is.

43:42 They don't care, but they know a lot about the ethnic mix

43:46 of the United States and Western Europe

43:47 and Canada and New Zealand and Australia.

43:50 And they're very opposed to those countries remaining majority white.

43:53 It's one of their main complaints about Russia.

43:55 By the way, they fixed that problem in Ukraine because this war,

43:58 which has been supported from day one by the very

44:03 same neocon lobby that got us into the war with Iran,

44:07 that lobby has extended this war with US and now European tax dollars

44:12 to the point where so many Ukrainian men have been killed that Budanov,

44:16 the number two in the Ukrainian government, just the other day announced,

44:20 "We're going to have to import Africans to live

44:22 and work here because we don't have enough men.

44:23 We're going to have to change the demographic mix of Ukraine for all time.

44:27 For all time.

44:28 We're going to do what Gangaskhan was unable to do,

44:31 which is totally change the composition of who lives in Ukraine.

44:36 So Ukraine as a nation,

44:38 the nation that existed 5 years ago, will cease to exist.

44:43 Period.

44:43 And its farmland will likely be bought

44:46 by foreigners because that's now legal under Zalinski.

44:49 So you just saw the elimination of a European country as it existed 5 years ago.

44:56 And you saw that not simply because Putin

44:59 rolled over the border and invaded sovereign Ukraine.

45:02 You saw that because Western elites pushed that.

45:05 That has been their overriding goal for the past four and a half years.

45:13 So now you're starting to understand that the goal is to allow

45:18 really one ethnostate in the rest and not allow any others.

45:22 Now why would that be the goal?

45:24 And the truth is no clue.

45:26 No idea.

45:26 That is so weird.

45:28 Dallas, there is some explanation.

45:30 Maybe it's theological or spiritual.

45:33 It it's above my level of understanding.

45:35 But just noting the behavior and the public statements of everyone involved,

45:39 that's clearly the standard that they're holding

45:41 this country and the rest of the world to.

45:44 One ethnostate and one ethnostate only.

45:45 And by the way, only one country with an inherent quote right to exist.

45:49 And if you press them, and I have,

45:51 they will admit only one country has a right to exist.

45:54 We may enjoy having certain countries exist, and if they can defend themselves,

45:58 they can continue to exist,

46:00 but only one country possesses an inherent right to exist.

46:03 And that's also the only country that has a right to be an ethnostate.

46:08 No European country possesses that right.

46:10 So why bring this up?

46:12 Well, because there's no avoiding it.

46:14 That's why.

46:15 Not cuz it's a comfortable topic.

46:17 Not because the people in charge are going to be happy to hear it.

46:21 They won't be.

46:22 But because you should know it.

46:24 We are in a moment of profound change.

46:26 Whenever you're staring down the barrel of global famine, which we are,

46:31 and the end of our long-standing system of energy production and distribution,

46:36 which we are, whenever there's a a real

46:40 possibility that someone uses nuclear weapons,

46:42 which we face, despite whatever they tell you, that is real.

46:45 Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

46:47 It could happen.

46:48 You are looking at a world that is resetting.

46:51 Big things are changing.

46:53 Not just little national borders but much more than that.

46:56 The collapse of empires, the rise of others, maybe even more than that.

47:01 So you should know the motives of the people involved.

47:05 And there is no topic that reveals motives

47:08 more clearly than the question of speech which is

47:12 the foundation of freedom in all countries at all

47:16 times and is the basis of our system of government.

47:21 Democracy cannot work unless people are free to say what they think is true.

47:25 Because how can you cast an informed vote if you don't know the facts?

47:30 Well, if you're prevented from speaking honestly

47:32 about what you think those facts are,

47:34 of course, you can't cast an informed vote and the entire system falls apart.

47:37 But it's even deeper than that.

47:39 You cannot tell a sovereign human being what he must say or believe.

47:45 Period.

47:46 Because those rights are inherent.

47:49 Human beings are born with the right to say and believe what they think is true.

47:56 That right was given them by God, not by government.

48:00 So if you take it away, you are by definition treating people as subhuman.

48:05 You are telling them you cannot speak because you

48:08 don't possess those rights because I consider you a slave.

48:11 So this really is the difference between freedom and slavery.

48:15 So whenever you hear people say using whatever pretext

48:18 they come up with at the moment you're not allowed

48:21 to say that you are watching an attempt by the people

48:25 in charge to enslave the people they rule over.

48:29 And you are and it brings great sadness to acknowledge this.

48:33 You are watching right now the people that if you're watching this you

48:38 may have voted for the president and the constellation of supporters around him,

48:43 office holders around him call for censorship.

48:46 Now, we're going to begin explaining and showing that this is true with a clip

48:51 from someone you always kind of feel guilty

48:54 playing these because it is Mark Levin, after all,

48:56 who was an audience in the in the dozens organically,

48:59 but who has been pretty reliably used as a mouthpiece

49:02 for what's coming next from this administration over the past year.

49:06 He is, we know this because the president has said it many times,

49:10 very close to the president and fully aligned

49:12 with the president according to the president's own description.

49:15 So here is Mark Leavvin's solution to America's

49:18 greatest and most pressing problem from his perspective,

49:22 which is criticism of the government of Israel.

49:23 Here's what we should do about it, says Mark Levin.

49:26 The violence that is being preached on different broad

49:30 broadcast broadcast platforms by different

49:33 politicians largely not exclusively largely

49:37 Democrats largely leftists Marxist Islamist although we have the woke

49:43 Reich REIC is horrendous and I believe is really

49:48 really uh adding fuel to the fire of hate out

49:51 there and making it very very difficult for a free

49:54 people to even have a discussion about what they

49:57 want or how they want it and so forth.

50:00 Um, and so it's not the first time things like this have happened,

50:04 but it really is problematic because so much of it is protected.

50:08 And you have people say, "Don't you believe in the First Amendment?" They

50:12 don't even know what the First Amendment believe.

50:13 Uh, do you want to deplatform people?

50:16 You know, the libs do that.

50:18 I don't have any problem with deplatforming Nazis.

50:22 Now, it's hard.

50:23 It's hard not to laugh at a Levin clip,

50:25 but it's not an attack on him, but it's just the irony is so rich.

50:29 Um, so he begins by saying that people

50:32 who criticize the government of Israel are espousing violence.

50:35 Now, this is coming from a guy who's literally called pretty recently

50:38 on the air on Fox News for nuclear strikes against the government of Iran,

50:43 who has relentlessly defended the murder

50:45 of civilians by this and the Israeli government.

50:49 So for this person to say that opponents of violence are

50:54 actually the ones espousing violence is hilarious uh but on brand

50:58 because it's of course always the sin they're committing

51:01 that they accuse you of being guilty of always and everywhere.

51:05 It's the perfect inversion which is the hallmark of evil.

51:09 The evil lie is never 5 degrees from the truth.

51:12 It's 180 degrees from the truth.

51:13 They accuse you of what they're doing

51:15 and that's how you know it's not simply proication.

51:18 It is a denial of the existence of truth.

51:20 But in any case, you see Mark Levvin saying

51:23 people who criticize the government of Israel and that is

51:27 his and to extent there is one the official

51:29 definition of anti-semitism is criticism of the government of Israel.

51:32 The secular government of Israel which is

51:34 not supported by all Jews that's for sure.

51:38 But no matter criticism of a foreign government is hate

51:43 tantamount to violence is stochastic terrorism, the left might say.

51:49 And Mark Levvin, the right-wing MAGA guy,

51:54 is saying those people should be silenced by the tech companies.

51:58 But that's not censorship because somehow it's not.

52:01 Well, that is exactly what Republicans, including Donald Trump,

52:07 described as censorship when the last Democratic

52:10 administration did it at scale during CO.

52:13 That is exactly what they were talking about

52:16 when they said the Biden administration engages in censorship.

52:18 And they were right.

52:20 telling tech companies which are dependent on federal

52:23 contracts that they have to tow a political

52:27 line is the same as banning speech because

52:30 tech companies are the conduits through speech flows.

52:34 So yes, that is censorship legally and morally.

52:38 And Mark Leavvin, who has positions that are shared

52:43 by only a tiny percentage of the American population,

52:45 and this is knowable through public opinion polling,

52:47 is telling you that anyone who disagrees with him must be silenced.

52:53 But he's just a weekend host on Fox News.

52:56 Who cares what Mark Leven says?

52:58 Well, as if on Q, Mark Leavvin's suggestion on Fox News has

53:03 now been bolstered by an actual

53:05 piece of legislation sponsored by Josh Gottenheimer,

53:08 the Democrat from New Jersey, and amazingly,

53:12 Republican Magest Stalwart, Mike Lawler,

53:15 two of the most floorid and least ashamed neoons in the United States Congress,

53:20 introduced legislation today to compel the tech

53:23 companies to ban people who criticize Israel.

53:27 the government of Israel because that's hate.

53:30 And under the IH definition of anti-semitism, they're right.

53:35 The definition that's been encoded in law in the majority

53:39 of American states and in 40 countries around the world,

53:42 the definition we didn't pay any attention to because

53:44 it seemed too dumb and like who cares?

53:46 That definition is now the operative definition

53:48 and it means that criticizing the behavior

53:51 of a foreign government is a hate crime

53:56 and can get you censored in your own country.

54:01 So what's the takeaway from all this?

54:03 Well, the first takeaway is censorship is coming and it

54:06 will work unless people exercise their god-given and first amendment

54:10 guaranteed right to push back against it with words

54:14 and do so at high volume without any shame at all.

54:18 It's going to need a refusal to be intimidated by false claims of quote hate.

54:24 And any Republican who voted for Donald Trump because he was

54:27 sick of being told to shut up racist should join this chorus.

54:30 No, you're not going to intimidate me into being quiet about the behavior

54:33 of a foreign government that I pay for just because you call it hate.

54:37 Not playing that game.

54:38 Sorry, I voted against this and I'm going to stand

54:41 on principle and fight it now no matter what.

54:43 That's the first thing.

54:44 But the second thing to know is that the motive here is dark.

54:49 This is not how you would ever treat people you cared about.

54:53 This is how you treat people you hate.

54:55 People you have contempt for, who you find inconvenient,

54:59 annoying, whose mere presence you find grading.

55:01 You'd rather live next to Haitians under

55:04 temporary protective status than next to birthright

55:07 Americans who have these outmoded expectations of like a job and health care

55:12 they can pay for in an emergency room that's not crowded with people who

55:16 don't speak English and I don't know the right to say what they think,

55:19 the right to complain about their leaders,

55:21 even the right to complain about the behavior

55:23 of a foreign country that they pay for.

55:26 You hate people like that.

55:28 And there may be other reasons you hate them,

55:33 but you certainly hate them because they are a reminder of how you have failed.

55:37 You have not done a good job running this country.

55:40 You don't even care to try.

55:42 You'd rather run the world or the empire.

55:44 You don't want to improve Baltimore.

55:46 You don't care about Gary Indiana.

55:48 Rural America makes you sick.

55:50 As Bill Crystal said,

55:51 all those coupon clippers and people just barely holding on.

55:54 Normal leaders would ask themselves, why are people mad?

55:58 What are they dissatisfied with?

56:01 How can I help them?

56:02 They're clearly in pain.

56:03 They should have asked this question when Trump got elected the first time.

56:07 Why would you elect an orange guy who ran casinos

56:10 in Atlantic City when there all kinds of great candidates,

56:12 Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz, you had a lot to choose from, but you chose Trump?

56:16 A normal, reflective person would reach the only conclusion possible,

56:21 which is because they're dissatisfied with me.

56:23 and maybe I need to change and serve their needs

56:25 better and listen to them once in a while

56:27 and not dismiss them with the back of the hand

56:29 or charges of bad motives or hate or censorship.

56:32 But they haven't done that and they haven't even tried to do that.

56:37 They've never looked inward once in 10 years

56:39 and now they've reached the point of maximum frustration where

56:41 the biggest thing they've ever done which is tried

56:44 to regime change the Iranian government and it hasn't worked.

56:46 That's the biggest thing they've ever done.

56:48 they staked everything on that and you should just know

56:52 that at this point now that that's not working out.

56:55 They will not be mad at themselves.

56:57 They're going to be mad at you for not liking

56:59 it or appreciating it or for talking about it at all

57:02 or for holding on to your outdated expectations about what

57:05 life in this country was like then and should be now.

57:08 And above all for the insistence that you have as a voter

57:12 and an American that the people in charge should serve you,

57:14 not just themselves and their families.

57:16 your insistence that wait a second this Epstein thing.

57:21 What is the Epstein thing?

57:24 Shut up.

57:25 By the way, it's just a few years ago that Harvard

57:29 University took the name of Charles Glass off a building.

57:33 Congressman, the GlassSteagall Act of 1933,

57:37 half written by Congressman Glass and took his name off a building.

57:42 Why?

57:42 Cuz he was a racist.

57:43 And we have to get rid of all racists

57:45 on the buildings at Harvard because we're making a moral statement.

57:48 Harvard does not tolerate racism.

57:49 Even retroactively, if we find a racist with a name on a building at Harvard,

57:53 we're taking it off.

57:54 So pure are our motives.

57:56 But guess whose name is still there?

57:59 Not just on a building, but on the building at the entrance of the Kennedy

58:03 School of Government at Harvard at the entrance, the Lex Wexner building.

58:07 Les Wexner, the guy who bankrolled Epstein,

58:11 whatever Epstein was accused of, Wexner probably helped pay for it.

58:16 And his name is still on the building at Harvard.

58:20 Now, why is that meaningful?

58:22 Because it's a humiliation exercise.

58:24 It's a really clear statement.

58:26 Your ancestors were flawed, disgusting,

58:28 were taking their names off, tearing the monuments down.

58:34 But Les Wexner, no.

58:35 It's You may hate it.

58:37 We don't care what you think.

58:39 It's the Less Wexner building at Harvard.

58:42 You getting the message now?

58:45 It's a middle finger to you.

58:49 That's hatred.

58:50 You would think that just out of politeness,

58:54 you would take Wexner's name off the building.

58:57 You would think that, right?

58:59 You would think just out of like a sense of duty

59:03 that you might put some of the people who run Purdue Pharma

59:06 in jail at least for maybe one day just symbolically your product

59:09 killed tens of thousands of Americans and you knew it was doing it.

59:14 You sold it anyway.

59:16 No.

59:16 Not one person, not one day.

59:18 You'd think like the heads of the big banks tank the global economy,

59:23 the global financial crisis.

59:24 You think like one of them could go to jail for one day?

59:28 Nope.

59:29 Nope.

59:29 It's your fault.

59:30 You borrowed too much.

59:32 So, we have seen the outline of their contempt for a long time.

59:37 It's not just indifference, it's loathing and it's aimed at the population.

59:41 And now it's coming to a head because war is

59:44 by definition crisis and it forces pre-existing trends to the surface.

59:49 And you should be prepared for however

59:52 this manifests because it's definitely coming.

59:54 So, there is the coolest movie we can imagine.

59:58 It's a new film adaptation of George Orwell's amazing novel, Animal Farm.

1:00:04 1984 gets all the attention, but Animal Farm is better.

1:00:10 It's coming to theaters May 1st.

1:00:12 You probably remember that Animal Farm is not actually about animals.

1:00:15 It's about human nature, the desire for authority,

1:00:18 and how quickly people tend to fall in the line

1:00:21 and give up all of their god-given rights.

1:00:24 The movie follows Lucky, a young pig whose curiosity and courage

1:00:28 guide viewers through the farm's rise and fall.

1:00:31 We see hope, betrayal, and above all, the danger of totalitarian power.

1:00:35 This is a movie to watch with your kids,

1:00:37 especially if they're old enough to ask real questions

1:00:40 and to notice when the answers don't add up.

1:00:42 The book affected generations of American school kids,

1:00:45 no longer taught, of course, cuz it's too true.

1:00:49 What do you do when the rules start changing,

1:00:51 you're told you're not allowed to notice?

1:00:54 Do you speak up or you just go along with it because, hey, that's easier.

1:00:58 That's the conversation you should have with your kids about power,

1:01:02 corruption, and freedom.

1:01:03 This movie is entertaining.

1:01:04 It's sharp.

1:01:05 Not many studios would do it at this point,

1:01:07 but Angel did because their guild members voted to bring it to the big screen.

1:01:11 So see it, talk about it, decide for yourself what it means.

1:01:15 Animal Farm theaters May 1st.

1:01:17 Tickets available now at angel.com/tucker.

1:01:20 So is there a connection?

1:01:22 Well, there obviously is.

1:01:24 What exactly is the connection between neoonservative politics,

1:01:27 the desire to regime change foreign powers despite

1:01:30 the total lack of benefit to the United States

1:01:33 and the desire to radically change the demographic mix

1:01:36 of the United States and the desire to, I don't know,

1:01:39 lend money at high interest or let any

1:01:41 of the festering social problems in this country go unressed.

1:01:44 What is the connection?

1:01:46 You really have to serve in the Congress to know.

1:01:49 And Marjorie Taylor Green did for 5 years from Georgia.

1:01:52 Whether you agree with her or not,

1:01:54 you'd have to say one of the most sincere people ever to serve in the Congress.

1:01:58 So sincere that when she found out that all of it was fake, she left.

1:02:01 We thought it'd be worth asking her what is going on here.

1:02:04 Ladies and gentlemen, Marjorie Taylor Green.

1:02:07 Congressman, thanks a lot for joining us.

1:02:10 So you pretty recently served in in the US House,

1:02:13 so maybe you could answer this question.

1:02:15 Why is it that so many of the members of Congress who support this war,

1:02:19 who supported the Iraq war,

1:02:21 who support every pointless, counterproductive foreign entanglement,

1:02:24 are also the very same people who were

1:02:28 trying to force Americans to take the COVID shot,

1:02:32 who voted to put spyw wear in people's cars,

1:02:35 who are for the castration of children,

1:02:38 who ignore the opioid crisis, and who are for mass migration.

1:02:43 Why would neocon politics bring you to a place

1:02:46 where you support all of these other things

1:02:48 that are not connected to foreign policy but that are

1:02:51 also bad for the population of this country?

1:02:54 Like what what's the connector?

1:02:56 Well, the obvious uh first response any any person with common sense

1:03:01 would say I have no idea why they would ever do that.

1:03:05 Right.

1:03:05 Fair.

1:03:06 And and then secondly,

1:03:07 I think the question is why do Americans keep voting for these people?

1:03:13 And I I think the responsibility falls on the voters to get rid of them.

1:03:17 But I'll tell you why they keep voting for those things.

1:03:20 Tucker, having served in Congress for 5 years,

1:03:23 what I learned from the inside is there are very

1:03:27 powerful industries and their their lobby um they're very powerful lobbyist

1:03:32 and the financial donations and structures that are built behind them

1:03:38 is what entangles these politicians uh

1:03:42 into supporting things that are unimaginable,

1:03:44 things that Americans do not vote for.

1:03:46 like you said, um, gender affirming care,

1:03:49 transing children, uh, requiring cars to have AI,

1:03:54 big tech technology in them where they won't start if

1:03:58 if the AI deems that you're not capable of driving.

1:04:02 Um, the list goes on and on.

1:04:05 Voting for FISA 702 without warrants, warrantless spying on Americans.

1:04:10 That's actually happening.

1:04:11 I think they're having a vote right now on the House

1:04:14 floor on the rule to move forward to do that.

1:04:17 I you can't it doesn't make sense why they support these things,

1:04:20 but I can tell you that it has a lot to do

1:04:24 with the power structure in Washington DC

1:04:26 and it supports both Republicans and Democrats

1:04:29 I think it's such a a good point to make because it's

1:04:35 not ideological at least in a way that people my age can understand.

1:04:41 There's nothing conservative about allowing the government to spy on you.

1:04:46 There's nothing liberal about it in a traditional sense either.

1:04:49 These are not liberal, conservative,

1:04:51 left, right, even Republican, Democrat divides.

1:04:54 It's almost like there's a group

1:04:57 that's for authoritarian policies that hurt Americans.

1:05:00 And that's kind of what connects all of these positions.

1:05:05 No, absolutely.

1:05:05 Um they're bought and paid for.

1:05:08 they do not represent the American people or the American people's interest.

1:05:12 Um and and it's because they're funded that way.

1:05:15 Uh take for example, oh my gosh, this was shocking to me.

1:05:20 Um just last week, last week, right?

1:05:23 57 Republicans voted no on an amendment

1:05:26 to stop the government from controlling your car.

1:05:30 Like that what we're talking about, the AI capability.

1:05:33 This was something that Biden and the Democrats,

1:05:36 they passed a law uh when I was serving in Congress,

1:05:39 of course, I voted no to it.

1:05:41 And the law is to require every new car starting in 2027 to have

1:05:46 technology in there to be able to basically

1:05:49 scan you and determine if you're drunk, if you're if you're capable,

1:05:53 if you're if you're healthy and fit and capable of of driving your automobile.

1:05:58 Um, and the car will not start if if AI determines that you're not.

1:06:03 Now, 57 Republicans voted no on a on an amendment to stop that from happening.

1:06:09 And I was shocked.

1:06:11 It's your usuals, you know, um, well, Mike Lawler, Don Bacon, Randy Fine,

1:06:18 but I was really surprised to see a name on the list,

1:06:21 a recently elected Republican, Brian Jack from Georgia,

1:06:24 who campaigned as being a conservative.

1:06:27 I know his district really well.

1:06:30 It was just to the south of my old district.

1:06:32 these people don't support that.

1:06:34 But yet his name was on there and the question

1:06:37 is how how did he fall into that trap and why

1:06:40 in the world would he vote no on an amendment

1:06:44 to to stop the government from basically controlling your vehicle?

1:06:48 But this is they get pulled in and it it all happens through fundraising

1:06:53 and um I it's the most unreal thing I've ever seen in my life.

1:06:57 So, back to that, and the only I guess the only thing

1:07:00 I would quibble with in your description is the term your vehicle.

1:07:03 If the government can turn it off, it's not your vehicle anymore.

1:07:06 They just took your vehicle from you.

1:07:08 It's not yours.

1:07:09 You don't have control over it despite the fact you pay

1:07:12 for it and keep up with the insurance and the maintenance.

1:07:14 Um, but to this question of the member from your delegation,

1:07:18 the Georgia delegation, who just got elected as a quote conservative,

1:07:23 presumably for civil liberties and freedom and the constitution,

1:07:26 like how specifically do you think someone like

1:07:29 that could wind up casting a vote this obviously authoritarian,

1:07:33 this obviously in contradiction to his own stated values?

1:07:37 Like what was the process that got him there?

1:07:41 Do you imagine?

1:07:42 Climbing the leadership ladder.

1:07:44 uh wanting to basically be the chairman of the NRCC,

1:07:48 wanting to be fully integrated and in charge

1:07:51 of all fundraising for the House GOP.

1:07:53 That's that's probably what pulled him in.

1:07:56 Um Brian Jack, who I actually campaigned for, I

1:07:59 endorsed him because I believed he would be America first.

1:08:02 Um so I was really shocked to see his name on this list.

1:08:06 Actually, actually really disgusted with it.

1:08:08 Um I'm I'm very unhappy that his name is on this list.

1:08:12 makes me regret endorsing him.

1:08:14 Um, I bet.

1:08:15 Yeah, for sure.

1:08:16 But he his history is he was in uh

1:08:19 on the political side for the president in the first administration,

1:08:22 which means he worked with all the candidates and and all the donors.

1:08:26 Um, then he was on the polit he

1:08:29 worked on the political operation for former speaker

1:08:31 Kevin McCarthy uh when he was the minority

1:08:34 leader and then became speaker of the house.

1:08:36 Um, so he's very donor driven,

1:08:38 big donor-driven Washington DC donors, donors that require government contracts,

1:08:43 donors um, that are going to basically

1:08:46 keep the big industries propped up and going.

1:08:49 And so that's what would pull uh,

1:08:52 a Republican that that campaigned on being America first,

1:08:56 campaigned on being MAGA, campaigned on, you know, being a conservative.

1:09:00 Uh it's all the it's the donarddriven money that happens

1:09:04 behind the scenes that pulls a Republican over to that side.

1:09:09 And when I say Republican driven, it's power.

1:09:13 It's it's it's just sheer power.

1:09:15 In Washington DC, a member of Congress can get

1:09:19 can fully fill their campaign coffers with just a few

1:09:24 uh uh fundraisers in Washington DC where you have

1:09:28 the industry giants there say whether it's the militaryindustrial um complex

1:09:33 the base there those companies um whether it's uh

1:09:38 pharmaceutical companies big tech companies um you name it any

1:09:42 industry that that is trying to get this candidate

1:09:45 to support the things that they desperately need to empower them,

1:09:49 empower their companies, help their companies become richer and richer

1:09:53 and richer and dominate in their industry.

1:09:55 They'll show these executives will show up with their wives.

1:09:59 Um, and they'll have 10 to 20,

1:10:02 maybe 30 of them there, and they're writing max checks,

1:10:06 max checks from on behalf of themselves, max checks on behalf of their wives,

1:10:10 and they will be there supporting this um,

1:10:14 Republican member of Congress that needs to get reelected,

1:10:18 and they can make hundreds of thousands of dollars,

1:10:22 up to a million dollars like that on just a few of those fundraisers.

1:10:27 And so these Republicans that are flying

1:10:29 back and forth to Washington DC every week, they're away from their family,

1:10:33 they're away from their friends, they're away from the people that elected them,

1:10:37 which makes them forget what's important.

1:10:39 Uh they get really lazy and it gets easy

1:10:41 to just have a couple of fundraisers where you're getting drunk

1:10:44 on cocktails and eating little weenies on a stick

1:10:47 or whatever they're serving up there in the Capitol Hill Club.

1:10:51 And th this is how they'll make all that money.

1:10:54 And it's a lot easier than having

1:10:56 to go back to your district, face your district,

1:10:59 have personal meetings with the the donors

1:11:01 and the good people that live in your district.

1:11:04 It's a lot easier just to just to depend

1:11:06 on those little fundraisers and hang around with the lobbyists

1:11:09 and the people in Washington that you're seeing every single

1:11:12 week than it is to go back home and say, "Hey, you guys, I got to get reelected.

1:11:17 Can you support my campaign?

1:11:18 I'd appreciate pitching in $50 or $100 or if you're capable,

1:11:23 a max donation would be great.

1:11:24 You know, I've got to get reelected to keep representing you.

1:11:27 And so that's how they they some of the ones that have good intentions.

1:11:32 That's how they fall into it.

1:11:34 But Tucker, there's a whole other side.

1:11:38 There are Republican members of Congress that never had good intentions ever.

1:11:43 Yeah.

1:11:44 Ever.

1:11:44 and they came into the House

1:11:47 of Representatives already completely supported and propped

1:11:50 up and funded by this nasty entanglement I'm talking about in Washington.

1:11:56 And I watched it with my own eyes when I watched Mike Lawler get elected.

1:12:02 Cost of living is already making it hard

1:12:04 to live here and it's not getting any better.

1:12:06 Unfortunately, it's likely to get worse.

1:12:07 And a lot of Americans fill the gap with credit cards,

1:12:10 not just for fancy dinners, but to cover things like groceries and bills.

1:12:15 That is a disaster.

1:12:16 It's understandable,

1:12:17 but don't go down that road because there is a tax in effect,

1:12:21 a survival tax of 20% interest or more.

1:12:24 Why would you do that?

1:12:25 Why would you hand money to the big

1:12:26 banks when you could keep it for your family?

1:12:28 Our friends at American Financing have a better way.

1:12:31 If you're looking to buy your first home or refinance your current one,

1:12:35 they're helping Americans achieve the dream of home

1:12:37 ownership with monthly mortgage rates currently in the fives.

1:12:41 American Financing saves its customers an average of 800 bucks per month.

1:12:45 That's nearly 10 grand every year back to you.

1:12:48 This isn't just a loan.

1:12:50 It's a total financial reset.

1:12:51 So, debt is tough, but there's a smart way to do it and a reckless,

1:12:56 self-destructive way to do it.

1:12:58 Credit cards.

1:12:58 And so, we recommend American Financing.

1:13:00 They're salary based, not commission based,

1:13:02 which means they actually work for you, not the banks.

1:13:06 They're called America's Home for Home Loans for a reason.

1:13:20 So Mike Lawler is kind and Don Bacon is another name you mentioned a minute ago,

1:13:25 but is kind of a metaphor for the corruption in the system, it would seem to me.

1:13:30 So Mike Lawler obviously is way out there on pointless wars,

1:13:35 neocon politics, loyalty to Israel, um almost to a cartoonish point,

1:13:41 but he's also leading the charge on every other

1:13:45 antihuman initiative that comes out of the United States Congress.

1:13:48 Anything that's bad for the public, he's for.

1:13:51 Anything that might help the public, he ignores.

1:13:54 Like, what is that?

1:13:55 Who what is his motive?

1:13:57 Do you understand?

1:13:58 I'll go back to when he when he was a candidate uh for Congress.

1:14:03 I was already serving in the House and um

1:14:06 in our conference meetings in our GOP conference meetings,

1:14:09 the ones that we have at the Capitol Hill,

1:14:12 we have two different type of conference meetings each week.

1:14:15 There's one meeting a week and it's kind of sad

1:14:19 that your Republican representatives only meet one time a week,

1:14:22 but once a week and one is either political and that one happens inside

1:14:27 the capital and then there's another kind

1:14:30 that's completely and totally campaign and fundraising related.

1:14:34 That one happens off-campus at the Capitol Hill Club.

1:14:37 And um they bring in candidates.

1:14:40 They'll bring in, you know, any new candidate running for Congress.

1:14:43 That of course is only approved by the NRCC

1:14:47 and approved by the traditional establishment Republican party in Washington.

1:14:52 So, they will bring in these candidates into this GOP meeting.

1:14:56 They'll have them stand up, raise their hand, introduce themselves.

1:14:59 uh the speaker or who or the leader,

1:15:01 whoever is talking will praise them and explain

1:15:03 to everyone in the room why they've got to write

1:15:06 them a max check immediately and help get them

1:15:09 elected because they're fighting to become part of the team.

1:15:12 So, I remember specifically when Michael Lawler came

1:15:15 in and um he was welcomed in by everybody.

1:15:19 I mean, he was propped up as the guy we have to fight for.

1:15:24 One of the most critical races as an incoming

1:15:27 Republican candidate because it was a very close district and it was so we were

1:15:32 told it was so important to win this district.

1:15:35 Well, I learned a lot about him very quickly.

1:15:38 He as a Catholic, Mike Lawler as a Catholic,

1:15:41 was heavily supported and funded by um the Jewish community

1:15:45 there and was heavily being supported by all the Christian Zionist.

1:15:50 And he instantly had more support from pretty much every

1:15:55 fundraising mechanism that there is in Washington DC that supports Republicans.

1:15:59 He had more help than I could have ever

1:16:03 dreamed of having ever in my entire political career.

1:16:06 And I was like, "Wow,

1:16:08 what is going on with this guy?" And it it turns out uh he did win his race.

1:16:13 It was it was a narrow victory, but he did win it.

1:16:17 And of course, he was in he

1:16:19 instantly came into the House of Representatives completely

1:16:23 bought and paid for by all

1:16:26 of the establishment donor class that had supported him.

1:16:30 He hated Donald Trump, made fun of him constantly,

1:16:34 mimicked him, making fun of his voice.

1:16:36 He used to attack me, make fun of me, come and find me on the House floor

1:16:41 and make fun of me for supporting Donald Trump.

1:16:43 And this was this was in the four years

1:16:46 before Trump got elected as president again in 2024.

1:16:49 And um he was I was just like, this guy's like literally one of the wor well,

1:16:56 I would say he's the worst, but Randy Fine is really the worst.

1:17:00 But Mike Lawler was unbelievably I I thought he was a Democrat.

1:17:04 I was like, he's literally a Democrat.

1:17:06 He's so against all the things that Republican

1:17:09 voters care about and he clearly hates Donald Trump.

1:17:13 Well, I saw this unbelievable change in him.

1:17:16 And of course, it happened after Trump won his primary in 2024.

1:17:21 All of a sudden, Mike Lawler, I started joking.

1:17:25 I started calling him MAGA Mike Lawler because he was all

1:17:30 of a sudden like becoming Trump's biggest supporter and he was all excited.

1:17:35 He got a MAGA hat signed by Donald Trump.

1:17:37 Came straight up to me to show it to me.

1:17:40 And I'll never forget the day that he had gone

1:17:43 and met with the the president at the White House.

1:17:45 Of course, I was not invited.

1:17:47 Only this new all the Republicans that hated the president before.

1:17:52 Let me tell you, Tucker, it all changed when Trump went in the White House.

1:17:57 Literally, in a matter of months, those of us that fought for him,

1:18:01 fought for him when no one else would,

1:18:04 who were the basically like the inner circle, we all of a sudden got kicked out.

1:18:09 And it was the Republicans like Mike Lawler and all these other guys that were

1:18:14 the ones being constantly ushered into the White

1:18:16 House for meetings and all kinds of things.

1:18:18 So, he came back on the House floor one

1:18:20 day and he had one of Trump's gigantic um challenge

1:18:23 coins that's like big and gold and obnoxious and heavy

1:18:27 and um he came up and he was like, "I've got one of these, Marjorie.

1:18:31 Do you have one of these?" And he was all bragging about it.

1:18:34 But you know what that told me, Tucker,

1:18:37 is what I really reflecting on it now that I

1:18:41 didn't really realize at that time was that the president,

1:18:44 not only had was Michael Lawler fully bought and paid

1:18:48 for by this and Don Bacon and all these other guys

1:18:51 fully bought and paid for by the political industrial complex

1:18:55 that maintains the power structure

1:18:57 in Washington that is completely America last.

1:19:00 But the fact that they were the ones now first on the list

1:19:04 to go to the White House and the ones being courted all the time,

1:19:08 that meant that that's when the president also became bought

1:19:12 and paid for by the exact same group of people,

1:19:17 powerful people, powerful donor class, and the powerful industries.

1:19:21 So the reason Mike Lawler was unusual even in the Congress was he

1:19:27 was such a sla slavish servant of Israel from his very first public statements.

1:19:33 Everything was about Israel.

1:19:35 Um he comes from a district with a lot of problems.

1:19:38 I didn't read a single solution to any of those problems he was proposing,

1:19:41 but it was always about Israel.

1:19:43 Would you say that the group that hated Trump and then

1:19:46 early in the term got invitations to the White House,

1:19:49 were they all servants of Israel?

1:19:53 Yeah.

1:19:53 Oh, 100%.

1:19:54 They Are you kidding me, Tucker?

1:19:57 When I introduced an amendment to defund Israel just last year,

1:20:02 this was It hasn't even been a year yet.

1:20:05 Only five other members of Congress, five out of 435,

1:20:11 only five voted with me to defund American taxpayer dollars going to Israel.

1:20:17 So that's your count if you want to know how many members

1:20:23 of Congress on both sides of the aisle

1:20:26 are completely beholdened to funding Israel.

1:20:28 No matter what they do, no matter how much genocide they commit,

1:20:33 no matter h how many Lebanon Christian villages they destroy,

1:20:37 no matter which country they decide to bomb

1:20:41 out of their madness and and desire for destruction,

1:20:46 there's only it it was only five.

1:20:48 It total six of us.

1:20:49 There were six of us, including myself.

1:20:52 That's your count.

1:20:53 I I assume Massie was one of those.

1:20:56 Of course, Thomas Massie was one.

1:20:59 Of course.

1:21:00 Yeah, he's not bought and paid for his race.

1:21:05 None of the other ones really matter.

1:21:07 I don't want to get too sidetracked,

1:21:10 but I just since you you mentioned his race, where uh is that race now?

1:21:15 It it is tightened.

1:21:17 Um he's still in the lead, but it's definitely tightened.

1:21:21 I've seen different polling.

1:21:22 It's it's got him anywhere of approximately 5

1:21:25 to seven points ahead of this guy named Ed Galrin,

1:21:28 who by the way, Ed Galrin won't even show up to debate Thomas Massie.

1:21:34 Like, that's one of it's like campaign 101.

1:21:36 If you're running for Congress,

1:21:38 you should be able to show up to a debate in your district

1:21:42 in front of the people that that you're wanting to vote for you.

1:21:46 And you should be able to show up in person

1:21:49 and stand in front of a microphone and a camera

1:21:52 against your opponent and address address why you will

1:21:56 be a better representative than the current representative Thomas Massie.

1:22:00 And Ed Galin has not shown up to a single one.

1:22:05 As far as my knowledge, he hasn't shown up at all.

1:22:09 And by the way, he's completely

1:22:12 funded by three Zionist billionaires, 100% funded,

1:22:14 that have given tens of millions of dollars,

1:22:17 and they don't even live in his district.

1:22:20 They couldn't relate to Kentucky that they only know about Tel Aviv.

1:22:24 It's the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen happen.

1:22:27 And Chris Losa is the guy that's running the race because he,

1:22:32 of course, Chris Lassevita, he's he who does he work for?

1:22:36 Lindsey Graham, John Cornin, some of the worst Republicans,

1:22:40 and he's doing everything he can,

1:22:43 aligning himself with these three Zionist billionaires to defeat Thomas Massie.

1:22:47 What?

1:22:48 Why?

1:22:48 And and who is Chris, for people who don't follow this stuff, who is Chris Losa?

1:22:55 Chris Oivvita is a big fat political consultant that is richer beyond

1:22:59 his wildest dreams and beyond your wildest dreams because he sucks in donor

1:23:05 money so that he can put TV ads and and and mail so

1:23:10 he can run campaigns basically that elect the very people that you hate.

1:23:16 You absolutely hate the candidates that he

1:23:19 supports like Lindsey Graham, like Ed Grin.

1:23:22 He supports the candidates that that are completely

1:23:26 funded and controlled by the very political Washington political

1:23:30 establishment that we're talking about that that owns Mike

1:23:34 Lawler that owns Don Bacon that owns Maria Salazar,

1:23:40 Carlos Gimenez, Mario Diaz Bolard, the list goes on and on.

1:23:44 I guess apparently just bought Brian Jack with his vote

1:23:47 to take away control of your car that you pay for.

1:23:50 But but this is that is exactly who Chris Lassita works for.

1:23:54 Chris Lassivvita also works for President Trump.

1:23:56 Chris Lassivita used to hate President Trump, but he wiggled himself in there.

1:24:02 Um just slimed his way in and now he's

1:24:06 he's frequently at the White House practically every single day.

1:24:11 He ran the president's 2024 campaign alongside Susie Wilds and um

1:24:16 he is the guy that's trying to beat Thomas Massie.

1:24:20 Yep.

1:24:20 So, it does seem like just from an outside perspective,

1:24:24 it seems like the more you exhibit loyalty to Israel,

1:24:27 the closer you are to the White House political operation.

1:24:32 100%.

1:24:32 You you well Tucker,

1:24:34 I'm no longer in Congress because I did not I did not bow in obedience

1:24:42 to Apac and to the Zionist uh

1:24:45 that control literally fully control Washington DC.

1:24:49 Um I I wouldn't take any of their money.

1:24:53 I I voted to defund American tax dollars going to Israel.

1:24:57 Um, I voted to release the Epstein files, which is linked to Israel.

1:25:02 And so, yeah, you you you have a hard time existing

1:25:06 or fighting for your political career if if you aren't part of that.

1:25:10 As a gun owner, you know the dilemma.

1:25:12 You want to be prepared for breakins

1:25:14 or any moment where you might need a firearm,

1:25:17 but you also need to keep those firearms secure,

1:25:20 out of the hands of kids, for example.

1:25:22 So for years that meant choosing between a gun

1:25:24 safe that takes a long time to open,

1:25:26 pretty impossible in an emergency, or leaving something accessible but unsafe.

1:25:30 And neither option is a good option.

1:25:32 And that's why we are thrilled to partner with Stopbox.

1:25:34 We're not exaggerating when we say that using Stopbox changes everything.

1:25:39 Here's what makes it different.

1:25:56 And that means you get immediate access to your firearm when you need it,

1:26:00 and everyone else can't get it.

1:26:02 And here's something else.

1:26:04 It is TSA compliant.

1:26:05 You can check your firearm safely and legally when you fly.

1:26:38 Now, if you purchase,

1:26:39 feel free to mention you heard about it right here on the show.

1:26:42 What do you So my understanding of Trump and I talked to him a lot as you

1:26:47 have uh was that you know Trump supported Israel

1:26:50 in the same sense that I always supported Israel, you always support Israel.

1:26:53 Like hey Israel it's great you know not against Israel.

1:26:56 It's not the thing I think about all day not

1:26:58 Josh Hammer or anything but like I'm not against it.

1:27:01 And Trump seemed to have a kind of I don't know sensible view of Israel.

1:27:06 And then at a certain point in the last year and a half,

1:27:11 everything became about Israel.

1:27:13 And that was the measure that Trump and his political team

1:27:18 used to decide who was an ally and who's an enemy.

1:27:22 When did that change?

1:27:23 Am I imagining this?

1:27:24 I mean, that's my perception of it.

1:27:26 Anyway, tell me yours.

1:27:27 I I agree with you.

1:27:28 It did change.

1:27:29 And just to be clear, we're talking about the secular government

1:27:33 of Israel and the government of Israel.

1:27:35 Exactly.

1:27:35 and the donors that that fully fund it.

1:27:38 Um, not only fund uh anything that supports the secular government of Israel,

1:27:43 but they also do anything that that funds the IDF and the wars that they fight.

1:27:47 Um, so to be clear, that's what we're talking about.

1:27:50 Of course, we're not talking about Jewish people.

1:27:53 This isn't about anti-semitism, but it he did change over time.

1:27:59 And I'll be I'll be really clear.

1:28:02 This is something that is my own conclusion.

1:28:05 Uh to become president of the United States, there's deals that have to be made

1:28:11 otherwise you aren't allowed to have that power.

1:28:15 And you can go president by president throughout time and especially throughout

1:28:20 our lifetimes and you can look at every single president and look

1:28:24 at their career and the decisions that they made and you can very

1:28:28 quickly see that they made their deal to support Israel at all times.

1:28:32 Why does the United States of America do that for for one foreign country?

1:28:38 It makes absolutely no sense.

1:28:41 We don't do that for any other foreign country.

1:28:44 No other government on earth does every single United States president.

1:28:49 The vast majority of members of Congress completely pledge their allegiance.

1:28:54 Governors too, we have to include governors and state- elected officials.

1:28:59 Um they they pledge their complete allegiance to the government of Israel

1:29:04 and their purpose and their protection

1:29:07 and whatever endeavor they decide to pursue, whether it's right or wrong,

1:29:13 whether it's it helps America or even if it hurts America,

1:29:18 they still pledge their full allegiance.

1:29:20 They make that deal.

1:29:22 and Tucker.

1:29:22 Um, I don't care what anybody thinks about me,

1:29:25 but I believe that Trump had to make

1:29:28 a deal like this in order to become president.

1:29:32 And that's why people see the drastic change in him.

1:29:37 Um, now he was beholdened to a lot of the estab

1:29:42 establishment Washington industries and their donors

1:29:45 in his first administration.

1:29:46 that happened and we can look at COVID and hit the response.

1:29:50 Uh shutting down the entire country uh to slow the spread

1:29:55 of a virus was absolutely serving that that gigantic machine.

1:30:00 It wasn't for the American people.

1:30:02 That did not help Americans.

1:30:04 It did not help American small business owners.

1:30:06 It hurt us.

1:30:07 It hurt children's education.

1:30:08 I mean, that's a whole another subject.

1:30:11 But he did that.

1:30:12 Trump did that in his first term.

1:30:14 However, this term we've watched him drastically change

1:30:18 literally from the first quarter of his presidency

1:30:21 to being completely um basically held captive

1:30:26 in servitude to whatever BB Netanyahu demands of him.

1:30:31 That's fighting wars.

1:30:33 That's that's creating policy um that benefits Israel.

1:30:37 And that is even to the point of defeating a House

1:30:41 Republican that votes with him over 90% of the time,

1:30:45 defeating Thomas Massie because those giant billionaire

1:30:48 Israel donors say it has to happen.

1:30:52 And um it's I don't know how that I don't know how

1:30:56 and why and I don't know how you change that and I

1:31:00 don't know how this came to be but I think it happened

1:31:04 over decades and it's a it's a much bigger problem than people realize.

1:31:08 It's not it's not anti-semitic for us to talk about it.

1:31:11 It doesn't mean that we're against Jewish people.

1:31:14 Not at all.

1:31:14 We love all people.

1:31:16 We're Christians.

1:31:16 We're commanded to love all people.

1:31:19 Um, but our government, the United States of America,

1:31:23 should be serving the American people and the American

1:31:26 people's interest first and foremost at all times, 100%.

1:31:30 and should not be easily dragged off into bombing Iran

1:31:36 or paying to fund uh all types of military equipment

1:31:42 and weapons to to perform genocide on Gaza or or Christians

1:31:49 in Lebanon and villages in Lebanon and taking their land.

1:31:54 The hypocrisy of it is is beyond it's unspeakable.

1:31:58 The king of England, King Charles,

1:32:01 spoke to Congress this week and literally demanded that the United States

1:32:06 of America go to war with Russia

1:32:09 because Russia invaded Ukraine, which is absurd.

1:32:12 Yet, no one is demanding the United States stop supporting Israel as they

1:32:17 have literally and are at this moment doing the same thing to Lebanon.

1:32:23 And it's not anti-Semitic to say why is that happening?

1:32:27 This shouldn't be happening.

1:32:28 why the hypocrisy.

1:32:30 Uh the masses about him members of Congress stood

1:32:33 up and applauded King Charles when he demanded that.

1:32:36 And I myself watched that and I said, "Well,

1:32:40 I know I know for a fact because I've been there.

1:32:43 I know the things said in speeches to Congress publicly

1:32:46 because that's what that foreign leader is is asking of Congress.

1:32:51 Those same conversations happen privately at the White House.

1:32:55 And it would be really naive for anyone to think that King Charles is not

1:33:00 talking to Donald Trump about going to war

1:33:03 with Russia because of the Ukraine Russia war.

1:33:05 And um that that that concerns me.

1:33:09 It's just interesting that you so you think

1:33:14 of uh donors to the Republican party and Democratic party,

1:33:18 I should say, who are pretty single-mindedly focused

1:33:21 on the fortunes of Israel and they they want foreign aid.

1:33:24 They want a defense guarantee.

1:33:26 They want the United States military to protect Israel

1:33:29 as it continues its expansion in the Middle East, etc., etc.

1:33:32 And that's all true.

1:33:34 But that same set of donors, and this is the part that does confuse me,

1:33:38 has also the group that forced the Biden administration to fund the Ukraine war,

1:33:45 that has prevented this administration from ending

1:33:47 or really even working to end the Ukraine war.

1:33:50 This is also the very same group that has pushed open borders and has

1:33:54 convinced the president to change his long-standing

1:33:57 and often stated view on immigration.

1:33:59 So, he got elected in 2016 promising to build a wall.

1:34:02 Never really well didn't build a wall.

1:34:04 Didn't really try very hard to build a wall and now is saying,

1:34:07 "Well, actually, I'm not going to deport a lot of people.

1:34:09 We're going to make them citizens." Yep.

1:34:12 We're going to we're going to start the process of, you know,

1:34:16 immigration reform, how whatever phrase they're using.

1:34:20 But Trump is now pro-immigration,

1:34:22 which is an amazing change once again at the behest of these donors.

1:34:27 These are the same people who have pushed open borders in Europe,

1:34:31 who've abetted the refugee migration from Syria and Africa

1:34:35 into Western Europe and then complained about it.

1:34:39 Why is that?

1:34:40 Like why would people who support Israel also be

1:34:44 for changing the demographic mix of the United States?

1:34:48 That doesn't make sense.

1:34:49 Well, true.

1:34:50 It is true.

1:34:51 And it's it's happened for it's happened for many years now.

1:34:55 Our demographics have been drastically changing.

1:34:58 That happens through our border through open border policies

1:35:01 of administrations and administrations that refuse to enforce our laws.

1:35:05 We have laws.

1:35:06 People can be deported.

1:35:07 It's just the fact that they haven't

1:35:10 fully supported them and enforce those laws.

1:35:12 So there's absolutely no reason, for example,

1:35:16 for for approximately 10 or 11 Republicans

1:35:19 to vote with the Democrats to pass a bill

1:35:23 um this happened just this month to extend

1:35:26 the temporary protection status of 350,000 Haitians.

1:35:29 Now, you have to ask yourself,

1:35:32 like I think people that watch Fox News all day will go,

1:35:37 "Oh, those typical bad old rhinos." and they'll be mad and go,

1:35:41 "Why did they do that?" But what really

1:35:44 happens behind the scenes is these powerful lobbies

1:35:48 and these powerful groups who are basically businesses

1:35:51 that are that run off of government contracts.

1:35:55 They run off of grants they receive.

1:35:57 They run off the you can call open borders an industry.

1:36:01 It is a huge powerful industry.

1:36:03 It's an industry of all types of charities

1:36:07 and nonprofits and nos that are everything

1:36:10 from people that give uh someone that comes

1:36:13 across the border a backpack or say like Haitian uh Haitians that have to be

1:36:18 protected here in America and are are allowed to live here and work for free um

1:36:24 even though they're not citizens but they're protected.

1:36:27 Um this is an entire industry.

1:36:30 It's it it's it's people that serve all of that in every capacity.

1:36:34 Even lawyers, American lawyers that help these people through the so-called

1:36:39 immigration process or really to stay in America against our laws.

1:36:42 Now, why is that happening?

1:36:44 I it's I think it's a very I think the answer is really dark.

1:36:49 It it weakens our country.

1:36:52 Anytime you change the demographics of a country,

1:36:55 you drastically change the people there,

1:36:58 which radically changes the views of the people

1:37:01 because you have such a vast variety of all types of people with all types

1:37:06 of belief systems and all types of opinions.

1:37:09 Now, when you fill a country with millions of people that are dependent

1:37:13 on the government because the government let them in, they weren't born here.

1:37:18 they they came across the border and then they may have been protected like

1:37:22 dreamers like Obama protected the dreamers

1:37:24 or you say the Haitians 350,000 of them that um I couldn't believe it

1:37:31 Rich McCormack another Republican member of Congress

1:37:35 who is from my state who I personally know voted to protect 350,000 Haitians.

1:37:41 It doesn't make sense.

1:37:42 Like why would he do that?

1:37:44 But they do it to weaken our country because when you weaken the country,

1:37:49 you weaken the people and you weaken the the voting basically the votes

1:37:56 because eventually these people get status

1:37:58 and eventually they become voters as well.

1:38:01 Then you train change the trajectory of the country

1:38:05 and you also change the focus of the government.

1:38:09 So let's take there's there's members of Congress that have dual citizenships.

1:38:15 They they are they are there for the interest of the country they came from.

1:38:21 They are there serving a a uh foreign uh group

1:38:25 of people that is in their district and they are beholden

1:38:29 to them and that means that they are not voting for who

1:38:33 would be original American citizens which I think is a problem.

1:38:37 Um, and I don't it's it's very hard to change,

1:38:40 but it's I I don't know how we got here, Tucker.

1:38:44 It's just it's it's obviously very deep whatever's happening

1:38:49 because it doesn't on the surface make any sense.

1:38:53 So, here you have people like Michael Lawler or Don

1:38:57 Bacon and there are a bunch of them as you know.

1:39:01 Yeah.

1:39:01 who are wholly focused on preserving the state of Israel as an ethnost state,

1:39:07 as a state in which citizenship is really determined by your ethnicity.

1:39:11 Okay, I'm kind of agnostic on that.

1:39:13 It's not my country.

1:39:14 But they're very focused on that.

1:39:16 Israel has a right to exist as an ethnostate.

1:39:19 And at the same time,

1:39:20 their greatest fear in the United States is that the US will be an ethnostate.

1:39:25 And so we need to prevent that by changing the demographic mix.

1:39:29 Right?

1:39:29 That doesn't make any sense at all.

1:39:32 Like that just doesn't tell me what that adds up to.

1:39:36 But it's very obvious as you watch that those are their twin priorities.

1:39:40 Preserve Israel as an ethnostate.

1:39:42 Prevent the United States from being an ethnostate.

1:39:45 What are we watching?

1:39:46 I don't know.

1:39:47 I was I just looked at the list

1:39:49 of the Republicans that voted uh to protect Haitians.

1:39:52 And so it's pretty interesting to me.

1:39:55 Fitzpatrick Lawler Bacon, Maria Salazar, Carlos Gimenez,

1:39:59 Nicole Malotakus, Rich McCormack, Mike Turner,

1:40:02 who's not running for Congress again, Mike Kerry, and Mario Diaz Bolard.

1:40:08 There's several names on there.

1:40:10 Salazar Gimenez, Diaz Bolard, that fight the hardest uh fight the hardest

1:40:15 for anyone that's come across the border.

1:40:18 I mean, they literally want to just make them citizens.

1:40:22 give just give it to them for free.

1:40:25 Maria Salazar for sure has a bill that she's trying

1:40:28 to do that but ironically that same group the same

1:40:30 group that I just read is also completely completely

1:40:34 and you can add we need to add more in there.

1:40:38 I think the bigger list is the 57 Republicans

1:40:42 that voted no on stopping the government from controlling your car.

1:40:46 I think that's the more expanded list.

1:40:48 You could expand it even bigger than that.

1:40:51 Those are the Republicans that will vote

1:40:53 for Israel to have anything and everything.

1:40:56 Like they they fully agree with Lindsey Graham when he's melting down

1:41:00 on television about we have to we have to give money to Israel.

1:41:04 We I mean when when Mark when uh Levvin

1:41:08 is demanding that we use nuclear bombs on Iran,

1:41:11 many of these same House Republicans would support that.

1:41:14 I don't know what that is, Tucker, and I don't know why it's that way.

1:41:20 Um, I think there's been a brainwashing that's happened

1:41:23 in this country and it's happened a lot through evangelical churches.

1:41:26 It's happened a lot through just a lot of churches honestly.

1:41:30 And the message has been told to the American

1:41:33 people over and over and over and over

1:41:35 again that we have to support Israel at all costs at all times no matter what.

1:41:40 And um there's, you know,

1:41:43 tragic events that have helped shaped many Americans views to support that, such

1:41:50 as 911 and such as other horrific uh terrorist um incidences here in America,

1:41:57 but also what we've been fed on the television

1:42:00 of suicide bombers in Israel and so forth.

1:42:02 They don't ever show the other side of what happened,

1:42:06 but they show that non-stop.

1:42:07 Now, so that has hardened many Americans to believe that America

1:42:11 has to support Israel at all costs, no matter what.

1:42:15 Um, it they use the verse in Genesis,

1:42:19 uh, use that against Americans, Christian or not,

1:42:22 to believe that if you don't bless Israel,

1:42:24 then you're going to be cursed by God.

1:42:26 And that's absolutely not true.

1:42:27 And you've talked about that a lot, thankfully, as well as others did.

1:42:33 But it's it has been a basically propaganda and messaging

1:42:38 that has been told to Americans for so long.

1:42:41 And the baby boomers who we love, that's our parents generation.

1:42:45 Um, and not all of them.

1:42:47 There's some really good baby boomers,

1:42:48 but the baby boomer generation as a whole is are the ones

1:42:51 that have embraced it the most on Republican and the Democrat side.

1:42:56 Both sides fully supporting Israel.

1:42:58 Give them all your money.

1:43:01 you know, the best way we can help our grandchildren's future.

1:43:04 They may be broke and can't have a job and can't

1:43:07 afford health insurance and can't afford to do anything in life.

1:43:11 And AI will totally replace their future jobs, but you know what?

1:43:16 We got to stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon.

1:43:19 And it's been that propaganda that has not only basically

1:43:25 wrangled in these members of Congress and other elected officials

1:43:32 that are fully supported by the those lo that lobby

1:43:36 and the the massive donor list that comes with it.

1:43:40 It's huge.

1:43:41 You have no idea how big it is.

1:43:43 Jews and Christians.

1:43:44 It's it's the Apac umbrella, but it's much bigger than Apac itself.

1:43:48 lots of donors that hey will will write you a check

1:43:52 and say you just make sure that you take care of Israel

1:43:55 and so they are wrapped in and beholdened by that money

1:43:58 and it's supported by Americans who have been brainwashed to believe that that's

1:44:02 exactly what America has to do but nobody ever talks about

1:44:05 Tucker nobody ever talks about the fact that Israel has nuclear weapons

1:44:11 has hundreds of nuclear weapons like who's really going to mess

1:44:15 with Israel at the end of the day they have nuclear weapons.

1:44:19 It's just like, do you ever see anybody

1:44:21 freaking out about Kim Jong-un anymore and North Korea?

1:44:24 No.

1:44:24 No.

1:44:24 Because he has nuclear weapons.

1:44:26 So, what a lie it is that we really have to support Israel.

1:44:31 I have for years noticed that there are people who truly love Israel.

1:44:35 It's never bothered me.

1:44:37 People love, I don't know, model trains or kite surfing or what.

1:44:40 People love a lot of things.

1:44:41 I don't feel threatened by it.

1:44:43 You're allowed to love whatever you want as far as I'm concerned.

1:44:45 In the case of loving Israel, however, for American leaders,

1:44:49 some Jewish, mostly not Jewish, it's the same principle.

1:44:54 It seems like that love for Israel

1:44:57 is accompanied by contempt for the United States,

1:45:00 maybe even hatred for the United States.

1:45:02 What is it?

1:45:03 Maybe it's impossible to serve two masters.

1:45:05 Maybe you always wind up hating one of them.

1:45:07 I maybe that that's a biblical principle.

1:45:09 Maybe that's true.

1:45:10 I really don't know the answer.

1:45:12 But among that group that we're talking about and that you

1:45:15 served with, did you ever have conversations offline where they said,

1:45:18 you know, we've got to do something about, I don't know,

1:45:23 health insurance prices or opioid ODS or, I don't know,

1:45:27 the elimination of our kids employment future

1:45:30 by AI or any of the truly pressing,

1:45:34 in fact, ominous problems this country faces.

1:45:37 Did they ever talk about that stuff in private?

1:45:42 Most I just laugh.

1:45:43 Um most most Republicans if they had a bill

1:45:46 they were trying to get me to co-sponsor.

1:45:49 It's it's kind of it's it's such a circus on the House floor.

1:45:52 So when we're at votes and we're spending a lot of time

1:45:55 on the House floor and and you're in there and it's everybody in there together,

1:45:59 Republicans and Democrats, and everyone's sitting in the brown leather chairs

1:46:02 that I don't know how old those chairs are,

1:46:04 and we're voting with our little voting cards and the little machine

1:46:07 with the green yes and the red no and the yellow present.

1:46:11 Um you're sitting there and there's a lot of co-mingling going on.

1:46:14 You know, a lot of that's where if you're not in a meeting once a week,

1:46:18 that's kind of where you see everybody.

1:46:21 So, um, different Republicans and members will go around with a card

1:46:25 and they're asking for people to co-sponsor their bill that may be supporting,

1:46:31 um, it's usually something that helps the the medical industry

1:46:36 or the or pharmaceutical industry or they're

1:46:39 or it's maybe something very district specific.

1:46:42 Um, sometimes that will be something they're working on.

1:46:47 But did I ever see anybody going around like

1:46:50 really fighting hard to focus on direct American issues?

1:46:54 No.

1:46:54 A lot of times not.

1:46:56 And a lot of times it was, hey, we're going to have a resolution

1:47:02 this week denouncing anti-semitism um because there were

1:47:05 protests on college campuses because college kids

1:47:08 were saying there was genocide in Gaza.

1:47:11 um you know, they would be asking for support to get some

1:47:15 some bill passed through that would provide funding for some big company

1:47:19 that is in their district or has

1:47:22 been lobbying lobbying Washington because whatever

1:47:25 whatever provision is in the next um defense budget will really help them.

1:47:31 Ridiculous things like that.

1:47:32 No, Tucker, it wasn't something I I came across this one too.

1:47:36 I wanted to tell you um here here's a here's how America last it has been

1:47:43 it it really is um so they renamed

1:47:47 remember Trump came in and they renamed the department

1:47:50 of defense to the department of war that has

1:47:53 cost uh the Pentagon has estimated that it's

1:47:57 cost approximately $52 million just to rename

1:48:00 the department of defense to the department of war.

1:48:02 That's the kind of stuff that a lot

1:48:05 of Republicans will come around and say, "Hey,

1:48:07 we got to we got to get behind the team

1:48:09 and get this done." But do they ever come in?

1:48:13 And I I had a hard time.

1:48:15 I had a bill and it passed, Protect Children's Innocence Act.

1:48:19 It was it was the one bill that I pushed so hard with everyone.

1:48:24 and Protect Children's Innocence Act makes it a felony to perform uh

1:48:31 transgender surgeries and hormone blockers and all kinds of drugs on children.

1:48:36 It's not adults.

1:48:37 It's not some sick man that wants to get a boob job.

1:48:40 We're talking about kids.

1:48:41 And I constantly would go around and ask for their support.

1:48:45 Well, I have to tell this story because it just has to be told.

1:48:49 My last vote in Congress, literally my last vote on the House floor,

1:48:53 December 17th, was my own bill.

1:48:55 It finally I had to fight with everybody to get that bill to the floor.

1:49:00 I mean, I threatened I withheld votes on funding.

1:49:03 I fought them all and it finally got there.

1:49:08 And to my complete shock, four Republicans voted no.

1:49:14 Four.

1:49:14 And that was Brian Fitzpatrick, Mike Lawler, Mike Kennedy, and Gabe Evans.

1:49:21 So Mike Lawler voted no to my bill because he

1:49:26 wants kids to he wants your kids to be trans.

1:49:29 Basically, it's totally fine with him if your child

1:49:32 goes to a school where a teacher indoctrinates them.

1:49:34 It's totally fine with him if they get indoctrinated on the internet

1:49:38 and they get brainwashed and confused and maybe live in California

1:49:42 or some other blue state where they can go to a doctor

1:49:45 and and basically a teenage girl could end up getting a masectomy.

1:49:49 Michael Lawler is totally fine with that.

1:49:51 He voted no.

1:49:52 My bill simply made it a felony to do that to children.

1:49:54 He voted no to that and so did three other Republicans.

1:49:57 The craziest thing happened, Tucker,

1:49:59 this is this was the miracle I witnessed because God God performs miracles.

1:50:04 And this is why I believe even though nothing makes sense right now,

1:50:11 I believe in my heart, I have full faith in God that God can

1:50:15 change it if we are willing to fight for it.

1:50:18 My bill passed.

1:50:20 My bill passed that in the House because

1:50:24 God moved three Democrats to vote for it.

1:50:28 Four Republicans voted against it even though

1:50:31 the entire Republican party campaigned on stopping

1:50:34 the trans agenda on children and it was supported by 70% of Americans.

1:50:39 When God knew those four Republicans were voting no,

1:50:43 God moved three Democrats to vote for it and my bill passed the House floor.

1:50:50 Protect Children's Innocence Act was also sponsored by our great

1:50:54 vice president JB Vance when he was a senator.

1:50:57 He was the original sponsor of that bill in the Senate.

1:51:01 He is now the leader of the Senate.

1:51:04 So I can tell you that right now Republicans have

1:51:09 the full capability of passing that bill in the Senate

1:51:13 and President Trump would sign it into law because

1:51:16 it's a direct reflection on his own executive order.

1:51:20 And soon the leader in the Senate has my bill, Protect Children's Innocence Act,

1:51:26 that makes it a felony to trans a kid is sitting on a shelf in the Senate.

1:51:31 And our vice president hasn't gone in there and fought with him to, hey,

1:51:35 let's get this to the floor for a vote.

1:51:39 Let's whip our senators because this was a campaign promise in 2024.

1:51:43 You see, when people refuse, when good men refuse to do,

1:51:47 when they do nothing, that's when evil prevails.

1:51:51 And that is literally where we are.

1:51:53 We are at a point in history, well, where all types of evil is prevailing.

1:51:58 Nothing makes sense.

1:51:59 Those that are the worst people are the most powerful people right now.

1:52:04 Those that are committing crimes and corruption

1:52:07 are making all the money right now.

1:52:10 And it's because we have a completely speckless

1:52:13 Republican party that is 100% owned and sold

1:52:17 out to a foreign country and a foreign

1:52:20 country's lobby and a foreign country's donors.

1:52:23 And that is why everything insane is happening.

1:52:27 That's why nothing makes sense.

1:52:29 It would be interesting to know why it's so

1:52:33 important to Paul Singer that we continue to neuter children.

1:52:36 Um I I don't know the answer.

1:52:39 It clearly is so important um that he and donors

1:52:42 like him are preventing uh this from being banned.

1:52:45 I mean, it's it's insane.

1:52:48 Um okay, so you painted a pretty grim,

1:52:51 very grim picture of the state of Washington right now and how

1:52:56 far the concerns of lawmakers and the executive are from voters.

1:53:02 I don't it doesn't feel like this can

1:53:05 continue indefinitely because it's just it's too

1:53:07 screwed up and it it feels like it's radicalizing people in a way that's scary.

1:53:13 So what is the solution?

1:53:15 Where does it go from the midterms this fall to 2028?

1:53:20 What what happens that makes this system more representative

1:53:24 slightly more representative of the public, do you think?

1:53:27 Well, I think that's a great question and we can break it down.

1:53:32 I was told uh reliably told by one

1:53:35 of the um most well-known pollsters in Washington

1:53:38 DC that Republicans are expecting to lose anywhere

1:53:41 between 20 and 40 seats in the House.

1:53:44 And I Yeah.

1:53:45 And I say rightfully so.

1:53:47 They deserve it.

1:53:48 They 100% deserve it.

1:53:50 They definitely deserve it.

1:53:51 Does the public deserve it?

1:53:53 I don't know.

1:53:54 But they party definitely deserves it.

1:53:56 Yeah, for sure.

1:53:57 Let's look at the current situation.

1:53:59 The Democrats completely completely destroyed so

1:54:02 many things and America basically gave them

1:54:05 a very strong message in November of 2024 that they refused to support wokeness,

1:54:11 DEI, the Green New Deal, the trans agenda.

1:54:16 They they found all of that disgusting.

1:54:18 Uh the American people were sick of censorship.

1:54:21 So many people had been kicked off social

1:54:23 media because the Biden administration had pushed that.

1:54:26 Um the American people, one of their loudest message was no more foreign wars.

1:54:30 It was so simple.

1:54:31 Um so let's look at what the current system we have.

1:54:34 The the failures of the Democrat and Republican

1:54:37 party is why people like me supported Donald Trump.

1:54:42 Total and utter failures of both parties.

1:54:45 They're both disgusting and repulsive.

1:54:47 They they function as one weird uni party in so many ways, but at the same time,

1:54:54 the things both parties represent uh through their actions,

1:54:57 I'm not saying what they say on the campaign trail,

1:54:59 through their actual actions, their vote,

1:55:01 the legislation, and the things they fund are disgusting

1:55:05 and they don't represent America at all, either party.

1:55:09 It shocked me that Democrats, after losing so badly in 2024,

1:55:13 that their entire party didn't go into a room

1:55:17 and really have a serious talk amongst themselves and go,

1:55:21 "We've got to change our ways.

1:55:23 We've got to change some of our serious uh policies.

1:55:26 We need to, you know, things they need to back off of.

1:55:29 They should have learned their lesson on their failures, but they didn't.

1:55:33 They changed nothing.

1:55:34 And so now they're expecting to win

1:55:37 the midterms basically on Trump derangement syndrome,

1:55:40 which is the same thing that they have been campaigning on for years.

1:55:44 They're also planning to win the midterms based

1:55:46 on the pathetic utter failures of the Republican party.

1:55:49 But because the Republican party is just

1:55:52 as gross and disgusting as the Democrat party, look at the Republican party.

1:55:57 They learned nothing.

1:55:58 Tucker, we gave them the strongest message that can be sent.

1:56:02 It was a mandate in 2024.

1:56:04 The mandate was no more foreign wars and put Americans first.

1:56:08 And the Republican party did nothing.

1:56:11 What they did is they came in and they

1:56:14 use the same system that swings like a pendulum back

1:56:17 and forth between whoever's in charge and they brought

1:56:20 that big powerful lobby and their donors and their industries.

1:56:23 And they basically swallowed Donald Trump whole

1:56:26 and made sure that he was completely

1:56:29 owned and controlled by the government of Israel

1:56:32 and whatever war they want to fight.

1:56:34 So where does that leave us going forward?

1:56:37 My hopes is when I resigned from Congress,

1:56:40 I wanted the American people to understand something

1:56:43 that me leaving doesn't leave them in any worse position.

1:56:48 They are already in the worst position.

1:56:51 Me leaving doesn't mean that no one's there fighting for them.

1:56:55 It means that even when I was there fighting as hard as I possibly could,

1:56:59 I could stop nothing.

1:57:00 But it's really up to the American people to change it.

1:57:04 Now, here's where the American people have a job to do.

1:57:08 It's the American people that keep reelecting the Lindsey Grahams and the Mike

1:57:12 Lawers and all the disgusting people

1:57:14 that that most Republican voters say they hate,

1:57:16 but yet somehow they keep voting for them.

1:57:19 I think they should change that.

1:57:21 Another thing is, look,

1:57:23 I don't want Democrats to win because I don't support their policies either.

1:57:27 But why am I afraid of Republicans losing?

1:57:29 I'm not.

1:57:30 I resigned from Congress because I refuse to be a part of and I refuse

1:57:36 to support a party that lied to the American

1:57:39 people and is completely selling them out.

1:57:41 And I think that's what American voters really need to take in.

1:57:46 You know, there's a way to take back control,

1:57:49 and it comes from forming a powerful alliance of Americans

1:57:54 that will only support candidates that are small dollar campaigns.

1:57:59 candidates that absolutely refuse to take any money from Apac,

1:58:04 from the military-industrial complex complex, big pharma,

1:58:07 the big industries and the big donors,

1:58:10 the big nasty donors and the big nasty political consultants that continue

1:58:16 the America last policies that we all are are living in and we hate.

1:58:22 The American people can elect people that will represent them when

1:58:26 those representatives are only funded by the people that vote for them.

1:58:32 That's the only way to get there.

1:58:34 It's it is the only way going forward because whoever

1:58:37 holds the purse strings holds the power over these elected officials.

1:58:42 So, do you think that can be done within the current structure

1:58:47 or do you think this calls for a third party or fourth party?

1:58:51 I think it has to be weighed.

1:58:54 Um, I've been looking at the numbers.

1:58:57 Independents in America are bigger than

1:59:00 the Democrat party and the Republican party.

1:59:04 Um, independents are oftent times over 40%.

1:59:07 And if independents were to come together on a core

1:59:11 group of policy issues and candidates that they could fully support,

1:59:16 then you could defeat Democrat and Republican candidates.

1:59:19 It's not It would be very hard, but it is possible.

1:59:24 I think it's largely dependent on several things, Tucker.

1:59:28 It's the millennials, many of the millennials, and it's Gen Z.

1:59:34 It's if the younger generations truly rise

1:59:37 up and decide to get politically active, they could fully take over and take

1:59:42 the power away from the baby boomer generation.

1:59:45 The baby boomer boomer generation is the generation

1:59:48 that supports the current political industrial complex.

1:59:52 They support it fully, Democrat and Republican.

1:59:55 They're the ones that vote the most.

1:59:57 They're the ones that donate the most.

1:59:59 and they're the ones that remain glued to the television,

2:00:02 to the propaganda news that they're fed every

2:00:04 single day from the left and the right.

2:00:07 However, I fully believe that it's

2:00:09 the younger generations that can make the difference.

2:00:12 And educating them, harnessing their power,

2:00:15 and helping them understand that it's they who can take over and take control,

2:00:20 then I think this country can be saved.

2:00:23 And I'll say one more thing about the baby boomers.

2:00:27 And I I really I really attack the baby boomers a lot because

2:00:31 I am angry about many of the things their generation has supported and done.

2:00:35 I'm fully disgusted at at baby boomers that hold on to power

2:00:39 in Congress and in the Senate and many elected positions.

2:00:43 Even our current president falls in that category.

2:00:45 Um he'll probably never want to leave the White House.

2:00:49 And I'm sure me saying that will make headlines.

2:00:52 However, I think those baby boomers are the most dangerous

2:00:55 and they're completely responsible for our nearly $40 trillion in debt.

2:01:00 The fact that social security be will be

2:01:03 completely insolvent in just six to seven years

2:01:06 and the very fact that young Americans have

2:01:09 it much harder because our dollar is so weak.

2:01:13 Tragically, it may require the baby boomer generation passing away before Gen Z

2:01:20 and even millennials can fully get involved and and work hard to take it back.

2:01:26 But I don't think it's impossible because

2:01:28 I'll go back and just finish with this.

2:01:30 Like I told you, I witnessed a miracle on the House

2:01:34 floor on my very last vote when my bill,

2:01:38 Protect Children's Innocence, passed to make it a felony to trans children.

2:01:44 Four Republicans voted no and three Democrats voted yes.

2:01:48 And that passed that bill.

2:01:50 And I never thought that bill was going to pass.

2:01:53 I And they told me, everyone told me it was impossible.

2:01:56 Everybody, literally every single Republican told me, "MJ,

2:01:59 this bill will never pass." But it did, Tucker.

2:02:02 And I believe it was truly God.

2:02:04 I felt it.

2:02:05 I know it in my heart.

2:02:07 And I I watched it happen.

2:02:09 I was there.

2:02:11 It It literally was a miracle.

2:02:13 So, in saying that, I I'll say this, Tucker.

2:02:17 I believe good Americans through no hate in their heart

2:02:21 whatsoever who have their full faith in God,

2:02:24 they can actually take back this country, but you can't be complacent.

2:02:29 You can't sit on the sidelines and um you

2:02:33 truly honestly have to have courage to get involved.

2:02:37 Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia, thank you very much for that.

2:02:42 Thank you.

2:02:43 And thank you.

2:02:44 We'll see you next Wednesday.
