1:55
Thanks for watching. See you next time. Bye.
2:00
snapped and the kidnapper has a mask on, but once he
2:02
shows you his face, he's got to kill you. Correct.
2:05
And they've shown their face. Yeah. You
2:07
know, again, I don't think there's anything
2:09
they wouldn't do. I mean, you put out something, I think
2:11
it was on Twitter yesterday, which was, you know, sort of
2:14
that extreme, like, well, if they can't get Trump this way,
2:16
what's the next level? And I think
2:18
we've proven that they'll do that in the past. They
2:20
were now figuring that out. We
2:23
understand that. I think the system's probably been broken for,
2:25
you know, much longer than any
2:27
of us would care to admit. And for me,
2:30
I saw it firsthand. At least 61 years it's
2:32
been broken since they killed the president in an
2:34
election year. Exactly. And, you know, for me, I
2:36
still, even when we started this process, even I'd
2:39
say it's safe to say I was probably the number
2:41
two target of, you know, Russia, Russia, Russia. And
2:45
I was like, well, there must be something to it.
2:47
I know I didn't obviously collude with Russia, but maybe,
2:49
you know, maybe I took a selfie with an agent
2:51
once because I took 10,000 selfies a day. Right.
2:55
But even like knowing that I was a
2:57
target, I was like, I still believed because I
2:59
wanted to write a one. I
3:01
get it. America is the greatest place in the world. And you can do
3:03
it. And I'm like, you know, it's the FBI. You
3:06
know, again, there's some door kickers that I'm still like,
3:08
hey, their home team, I get it. They're
3:10
doing eventually those guys are going to have to speak up though. Right.
3:13
I gave her long pass. I gave the door kickers
3:15
a pass for far too long, which is like, hey,
3:17
you know, they can't go against the leadership of like
3:20
when you're watching this kind of bastardization
3:22
of justice, when you're watching this sort
3:24
of lopsided level when they're, you know,
3:26
they spend more time, you know, kicking
3:28
down the doors of an Amish farmer
3:30
selling unpasteurized milk than actually going after
3:32
people committing terror because, you know, they're
3:34
trans or, you know, whatever it is
3:36
that they are. You
3:39
really lose that ability to get that pass
3:41
that I really wanted them to give. But
3:44
I, you know, I wanted to believe that
3:46
everything I grew up believing was accurate and
3:48
it's all bullshit. It's
3:50
just all bullshit. So we have to fix that. And
3:52
that's why we fight now to actually make it so.
3:54
But you saw this in January 6th too. I mean,
3:56
I know that Joe Scarborough and the
3:58
rest of the liars. presented those
4:00
people as like insurrectionists and dangerous
4:03
they were actually the most Pure-hearted
4:06
and the most naive about that I mean they
4:08
were they were literally walking with pocket Constitution saying
4:10
you can't do this They believed in the system
4:12
much more than the people who put them in
4:15
prison who don't believe in them at all Without
4:17
question and you saw that I mean it you know the
4:20
narrative was pushed so much They the clips
4:22
that they used were designed to create something
4:24
that didn't actually happen I mean it's
4:27
so sick You know I will say you
4:29
know it was the first unarmed insurrection in
4:32
the history of insurrections I mean it's never
4:34
happened before but arguably I'd
4:36
say probably the most heavily armed populist if they wanted
4:38
to have been right of course But if but of
4:40
course it wasn't an insurrection it didn't matter and they
4:42
wanted to run out the clock I'm like they could
4:44
hardly believe this is happening And
4:47
I think you're describing the same thing
4:49
like you really believed it in our
4:51
institutions and our norms and democracy I
4:55
Did and it took again?
4:57
I mean literally threats of you
4:59
know you're going to jail for treason a crime punishable by
5:01
death That's like not a great swing thought when you're going
5:03
through it. You're a man. I'm like wait a minute like
5:05
if you're a father of five kids And
5:08
and yet I still at the beginning of it. I was like
5:10
and then it just Your
5:12
eyes start to open and you see the games and you
5:14
see the people that are on your side And you see
5:17
the you know the Lindsey Graham's of the world right they
5:19
they get on TV And they're on you know Fox
5:21
or something like that And they're like well we
5:23
must subpoena these people and we must get to
5:25
the bottom of this I'm like well You're like
5:27
the chairman of the judiciary committee like you have
5:29
you have the authority to do that like like
5:31
you but you're talking about Doing
5:33
the thing that you have the authority to
5:36
do, but you're unwilling to actually exercise that
5:38
power So that was what disgusted
5:40
me most about like the Republicans right it You're
5:43
telling your base the people who are watching
5:45
you know like you're fighting But
5:47
you know damn well that you're not actually fighting no
5:49
right, and we see that so much. That's the difference
5:51
between The difference
5:54
between the Democrats. I mean they've shown hey,
5:56
they'll put their opposition in jail. They'll smother
5:58
them. They'll silence them There's
6:00
nothing they won't do to preserve power.
6:02
We'll write a strongly worded memo and
6:05
do nothing to follow up. And
6:07
I think as long as you have that sort
6:09
of imbalance in the response, nothing
6:13
changes because the Democrats, they'll take their win.
6:15
They'll run to the bank. They'll laugh their
6:17
ass off along the way, and nothing
6:20
changes until we actually start fighting back. I think a
6:22
lot of people yesterday when that verdict came down –
6:24
I'm among them – my first reaction
6:27
was, wow, they'll actually hurt us. They
6:30
would execute us, me – I'll just say
6:32
it, speak for myself – and there would
6:34
be an MSNBC panel of former federal prosecutors
6:36
telling their audience that I deserved it, and
6:38
they'd be laughing. The Lincoln Project would send
6:40
out a congratulatory tweet,
6:42
and I was like, wow, there's sort
6:44
of a lack of humanity. There's a coldness. There's an
6:46
evil under all of this that I think I underestimate.
6:50
I think we all did. And by the way, I
6:52
think many still do. Again, it's
6:55
hard to believe that you could live through these
6:57
last eight years or whatever, ten years, and not
6:59
think that. I mean, look at – that
7:02
this is even within ten points in
7:05
terms of an election. I can't name
7:08
literally a single metric, a single one –
7:10
geopolitical, economic, or otherwise – like,
7:12
we're better off now. And
7:16
yet, they'll out-raise us. They'll do this. The media
7:18
still pushes it as though – you know, Vitamix
7:20
is doing wonderfully for you. I get it. I'm
7:22
the son of a billionaire. I'm literally – If
7:24
I'm pissed off at the grocery store – I'm
7:26
not one of these woke guys on one of
7:28
these channels where it's like, my three-month-old baby was
7:30
talking about nuclear proliferation on the Karelian Peninsula at
7:32
Takaraya. And she was
7:34
crying. She was scared. I get
7:38
it. I understand where I'm coming from. I'm totally comfortable with
7:40
that. I've been blessed. But like,
7:42
if I'm sitting there with sticker shock, like, what's
7:44
the country feeling? You know, if I see what's
7:46
going on in my interest rates of my mortgage, like, man, how
7:50
much longer can we do this? Then you talk
7:52
about wars and trillions of dollars of spending, and then
7:54
the Republicans are telling us that, you know, the
7:57
Ukraine is the number one most important issue for Republicans
7:59
across our country. I've heard that from Mitch McConnell
8:01
dozens of times. It's just
8:03
not, right? I've spoken in front
8:05
of more Republicans in the last year than Mitch
8:07
McConnell has in his entire lifetime, and I think
8:09
I've surveyed probably I do it live, like just
8:11
at a speech. A thousand people here, 500 people
8:13
here, 5,000 people there. It's
8:17
been a top 10 issue in about 60, 65,000 people for
8:19
three people. One
8:23
of them was a DC
8:25
sort of beltway guy. He felt very strongly
8:27
about it. Probably he was profiteering off of
8:29
it. One of them misunderstood the
8:32
question, so he thought it was a double negative. So it was
8:34
not in fact a top 10 issue for him. Because
8:36
I do, is it top three or top 10? And
8:38
one of them, it was top 10, but not top three. And I
8:40
said, sir, you know, and I'll ask him, I don't care. I want
8:42
to hear it out. Like, why is, well, I'm from Kiev, Ukraine. I
8:44
was like, I'm going to give you a pass. So
8:47
I'm going to effectively say out of about 65,000 people
8:50
surveyed in the last, you know, let's call it two years, 18
8:52
months, whatever it is, since the war started, a
8:54
little more, I guess, exactly. You
8:57
know, basically zero people have been in favor of this,
8:59
but the leader of the Senate will tell us it's
9:01
the number one issue for Republicans across the country. It's
9:03
just not so. How can I, I was in DC
9:05
last night. I never go back. I'm from there.
9:07
And I took three people to dinner for people to
9:09
table. Nobody drank for all three. I am a teetotaler.
9:11
So the other three, and
9:13
it's a good restaurant, but not like a famous
9:16
restaurant restaurant. I've eaten that for many years. The
9:19
bill was $800 for $800 not
9:21
drinking, not drinking and
9:23
no nothing crazy. Like salad,
9:26
steak, dessert, $800. And
9:28
I thought, you know, I'm
9:30
pretty insulated from costs, but I thought I can't, I
9:33
can't. How do people live here? My experience was opposite of that.
9:35
I took two of my boys on a fishing trip and we
9:38
were coming back traveling through an airport and we went to a
9:40
McDonald's and it was my 11 year old boy, my 14 year
9:42
old boy and me at the time. And
9:44
it was like $47 and change for
9:47
like an 11 year old child, a 14 year old child
9:49
and me. I'm like, again,
9:52
it's not going to change my spending habits. I'm not pretending.
9:54
I'm like, my truck has 700 horsepower. Like,
9:56
you know, I'm not happy at the pump, but like, but
9:59
if they're telling my. the war against Russia is the most
10:01
important thing to America. Yeah, no, it's not. They're lying. So
10:04
both of us have sort of skipped ahead, passed
10:07
an analysis of the case and sort of taking
10:09
it as a given that what
10:11
we saw yesterday was grotesque and really sort of
10:13
the end of a fair justice system. But
10:15
for people who've just heard that and
10:18
not gotten some of the
10:20
details that prove it to be true, can you
10:22
just run through what the case was? I mean,
10:24
it's literally- You know too much. I
10:27
know. How much time we got? But
10:30
it's a books and records thing,
10:33
right? I mean, it's literally a filing. It's like
10:35
a misfiling. And yet it's
10:37
something that was never before tried as a felony.
10:40
Like many of the other cases, like one of
10:42
the cases in New York where they literally- They
10:44
changed New York state law to
10:46
be able to, for one year, they
10:49
changed the law for one year to be able to go
10:51
back and change a statute of limitations so that
10:53
you could go after my father. And then after that year, after that
10:55
is filed and they go after my father, that was the G Carroll
10:57
case, it reverts back to
10:59
the normal statute of limitations because otherwise they wouldn't have
11:01
been able to do it. This was very similar. This
11:03
was a case that was, you know, at best misdemeanor
11:06
type stuff. Remember Hillary Clinton started with
11:10
a similar thing she got fined. $8,000,
11:13
I believe it was, for starting what was the Russia
11:15
Russia Russia hoax with the Steele dossier
11:17
leaks and all of this, right? That was an $8,000
11:19
fine. They want to put my father in
11:21
jail for, you know, upwards of 100
11:23
years depending on how you look at it. That's
11:26
never been done before in these things
11:28
because basically someone in an accounting department
11:30
put legal expenses for, you
11:32
know, paying a lawyer.
11:36
It's unheard of. But you have experts when they
11:38
say, well, it's a federal election crime.
11:40
They wouldn't let the person who wrote
11:42
the rules, like wrote them,
11:44
as the foremost expert in all of that,
11:46
actually testify for us. The
11:49
jury didn't have to be unanimous on the things that they charged. They
11:51
just all had to sort of come to a general, if four guys
11:53
agreed on this and four people agreed on that. That's
11:55
unanimous. The bastardization of all of
11:57
this thing and it just having been in the courtroom. was
12:00
watching when the prosecution objected
12:04
to something that we said, it was
12:06
always sustained. They
12:08
let them just – we couldn't ask anything. When
12:10
it was us asking the questions, the uncomfortable questions
12:13
of their witnesses, all of a sudden, we
12:15
were overruled every time. Just the list
12:17
goes on and on and on. So you've
12:20
made the case, and others who followed it
12:22
carefully have made the case, that this
12:24
was a direct hit from the Biden administration. And
12:27
they point to a man called Matthew Colangelo. Can you tell
12:29
us who he is? Yes. Matthew Colangelo
12:31
was the number three guy in Joe Biden's Justice Department.
12:33
So from Washington, D.C. The
12:37
other big part of this case, as it relates to
12:39
that, was that they're trying to say it's a federal
12:41
election commission case. Well, name
12:44
another case that's ever been tried that's a federal crime
12:46
tried in a state court. So Matthew Colangelo is number
12:48
three at DOJ. So that's
12:50
about as high as a prosecutor can ascend. Correct.
12:52
And he was moved to New York. Don't forget,
12:54
Alvin Bragg, the district attorney that actually tried this
12:56
case, turned it down years ago. They could have
12:58
done this seven, eight years ago whenever it happened,
13:01
but they didn't. The Federal Election Commission, the FEC,
13:03
that would have been one of the things that's around it. They could
13:06
have tried it. The IRS could have done these things because if it
13:08
was a tax thing, all of them chose
13:10
to pass, including, again, Alvin Bragg, the guy who's trying
13:12
it and just tried it right now, passed
13:14
on this a couple years ago. Biden's number three
13:16
at his DOJ comes up, and all of a
13:18
sudden now they're filing the charges
13:20
conveniently right before an election. A dumb question. So
13:23
the number three guy at DOJ
13:25
who's ascended this ladder, okay, what
13:29
is he doing in New York? I
13:32
mean, that's a massive step down. He's prosecuting
13:34
his political enemies, Tucker. There's literally no other
13:37
explanation for it. When
13:41
you look at the bastardization of this, you have a judge
13:44
who's a Biden donor. His daughter
13:46
is one of the number one Democrats. When he says Biden donor,
13:48
he's literally a Biden donor. He's a Biden donor. Like
13:51
literally has written checks himself. His daughter is one
13:53
of the most prolific fundraisers for the radical Democrats,
13:55
Adam Schiff and like she's made millions off of
13:57
that. This Judge allowed his daughter to
13:59
pay $1 million. clients, democrat, mega donors to sit
14:01
in the courtroom. It's like having front row seats.
14:04
Are you on the New York Rangers right? It's
14:06
as think of how insane that it's read it
14:08
every time I was a dumb question. For.
14:10
Throw Why would the number three
14:12
guy Dj wind up in a cease
14:15
and speak to that seems like he
14:17
must have been sent more than
14:19
two. If the judge was
14:21
literally a biden donor and donating to
14:23
among other things like the stop trump
14:25
effort with something was one of of.
14:28
How. Could he remained the judge? How to do?
14:30
because it's a New York that what? What would you
14:32
appeal to you? Peel it to another panicle panel of
14:34
radicals. right? A man. He was like
14:36
the New York Educates Rights we got find
14:38
almost a half a billion dollars for paying
14:40
back. Or bank on
14:42
time with interest. The. Bank who's
14:45
the alleged victim is understanding like know a
14:47
lot, probably want to do more business for
14:49
Trump, not less. having their portfolio was a
14:51
feather in our cap that we used to
14:53
generate other business. Doesn't. Matter. You're a victim.
14:56
Ah, It's it's It's pure and
14:58
simple. political prosecution, prosecution. They're they're going
15:00
after There's There's nothing that they won't
15:02
do to stop Trump and A understand
15:05
now. With. Years. Of
15:07
experience and what else I think you know Going
15:09
in as a novice was great in many ways
15:11
but you also don't know who the snakes are.
15:13
You know who the people who are going to
15:15
actually help you and be sort of loyal to
15:17
the cause and that causes it would be do
15:19
We elect a president has the things you said
15:21
you would do vs doing what the swamp once.
15:24
Slow. Rolling what the President wants to all
15:26
those on elected officials And so I think. The.
15:29
Notion of Trump coming back now actually
15:31
scares them so much more because he
15:33
has that knowledge. He has that understanding
15:35
and I think that make him so
15:37
much more effective in a second term.
15:39
Well, and also if you're going to
15:41
kill the king, you better kill the
15:43
king. You best not misses the think
15:45
that's exactly right. You have come to
15:47
the obvious conclusion that the real debate
15:49
is not between Republicans and Democrats are
15:51
socialist and lives right last. The real
15:53
battles between people who are lying on
15:55
purpose and people who are trying to
15:57
tell you the truth is between. Good and
15:59
evil. It's between honesty
16:02
and falsehood and we hope we are on the
16:04
former side That's why we

16:26
you worried? Well,
16:29
will this stop the campaign like what effect
16:31
is now listen, I spoke to my
16:33
father, you know right after the verdict You know
16:35
today. I mean, yeah, obviously
16:39
It's a somber moment. I mean, you know, you know me
16:41
well enough I you know, I can pretty much, you
16:43
know fight through anything and we keep going and he
16:45
will too But you know, it is a somber moment
16:47
but more so for our country. So but if anything
16:49
I Would
16:51
say it's actually strengthened his resolve. I
16:54
think he listened in 16 It
16:56
was the elevator ride right before the emcee
16:58
that's going to write, you know Now we find out who our
17:00
real friends are, you know, he knew what was gonna happen He
17:03
knew the celebrities would go but he knew that
17:05
and he did it anyway I think
17:07
after 2020 he understood that if he just went
17:09
home He could go play golf and go back to
17:12
building buildings and making millions and getting paid to give
17:14
speeches and stuff like that It's
17:16
just too much at stake. And so he's he's
17:18
just unwilling to stop I got to think a
17:20
lot of people are looking back to four years
17:23
ago and reaching the conclusion Well, if
17:25
they'll rig a trial, they'll probably rig an election.
17:27
I think without question I think
17:30
you know The reality is, you know what I
17:32
see, you know on the ground the amount
17:34
of people from the the demographics that probably
17:36
have never voted Republican before that are
17:38
just you know, you know grabbing me at
17:40
airports or like even walking down the streets, you know
17:42
in New York the other day, it's
17:45
It's amazing. I mean I I did a for
17:48
example, you know I was one of the most out
17:50
there people in terms of rallies and campaigns doing my
17:52
own thing in 16 and 20 I
17:54
think just for example October of 2020. I
17:57
think I did a hundred and four rallies in
17:59
that month with four a day for a month
18:01
straight. I'm on the ground. The
18:03
energy in 2020 was better than even 16, amazingly
18:06
enough, but they had that ability to weaponize COVID and
18:08
all of that stuff. We saw the nonsense. It's
18:12
so much stronger right now and we're still six months out.
18:15
That doesn't mean they won't do, again, I
18:18
don't even pretend to think that, hey, it's
18:20
gonna be fair and they're not gonna cheat.
18:23
I used to probably think that, hey, there's only so far they
18:25
can go. How, they're gonna roll
18:27
this guy over the line and a gurney and
18:29
pretend he's, because I used to
18:32
think they actually had maybe
18:34
a little bit of shame, but
18:36
that's not actually at ultra. I don't think they
18:38
care anymore. They're laughing at, when they use democracy,
18:40
it's a sound bite. But they're never punished. They're
18:43
never punished. They weren't punished for the Iraq
18:45
war or the Afghanistan withdrawal or the lies
18:47
around COVID, the vaccine mandates. They weren't
18:50
punished for the 2020 election. Oh, Russia, Russia, Russia.
18:53
I mean, not only are they not punished, Tucker, they're
18:55
given better jobs. They either keep their job and
18:57
then they get a CNN contributorship to talk about
18:59
preserving democracy. But maybe, I mean, if you treated
19:02
your kids this way, they'd be sociopaths. I
19:04
think they are. Well, they seem to be. I mean, they
19:06
are. I'm sure they had boomer parents who indulged them, of
19:09
course. But I mean, someone
19:11
needs to be punished at some point, right, so it
19:13
stops? I think without question,
19:15
I don't think, we have not done that
19:17
well, Republicans, right? The Democrats don't
19:19
fear us because they know we'd never play the
19:21
same game because we actually believe, what
19:24
they think is like, ha ha ha, a sound bite. We
19:26
actually believe those things. And
19:28
it's actually hard, it's hard for me to
19:31
say those things because I'd love not to have to play
19:33
that game, but I don't believe there's another answer, other
19:35
than like, we have to fight fire with fire. As
19:37
long as we're playing T-ball, while they're playing
19:40
fast-picked hardball, they're going to win, they're
19:42
gonna take their power, they're gonna run to the
19:44
bank, they're gonna, and laugh every step of the
19:46
way. There's
19:48
just not enough actual fighters there. I mean, when you
19:50
look at, even honestly, look at the Republican bench. It's
19:54
not very deep. In terms of the guys
19:56
that you'd actually hate, who's the guy I won on Fox Hall? Who's the
19:58
guy that'll actually fight? Who's the guy that's not... gonna succumb to
20:01
the pressures of Washington DC. Who are they? I
20:04
mean, like right now, I mean, I love a
20:06
guy like a J.D. Vance. You know, there are
20:09
a couple, but man, that list is, who's
20:12
next? Mike
20:14
Lee is kind of becoming that guy. Yeah, Mike Lee's a
20:16
fighter. I like Mike and, you know, and it's interesting. It's
20:18
one of those, you know, in 2016, Mike
20:21
Lee and I almost got a fist fight on the convention floor.
20:23
Like, you know, we were very different, but like he's a guy
20:25
that I text with probably daily. And
20:28
so it's interesting that, you know, once you actually
20:30
have that relationship, you can actually, people come around,
20:32
it's like, okay, you were actually right. Well, people
20:34
change on the basis of evidence and what they
20:36
see. Correct. My views are totally different from what
20:38
they were 10 years ago. I think the problem
20:41
with DC is for conservatives, it's actually an easy
20:43
existence. You could be a Republican in DC as
20:45
long as you're Republican-like. Of course.
20:47
You know, if you're like, hey, say whatever you
20:49
want when you're speaking to a group of 10
20:51
people in your little hometown, you know,
20:53
you come to DC, you can vote with the Republicans
20:55
like 80% of the time. When
20:57
it actually matters, as long as you vote with
21:00
us, Washington Post isn't gonna come after you. They're not
21:02
gonna be protesting in front of your home. It's an
21:05
easy existence. You'll get invited to the cool person Christmas
21:07
party and, you know, sorry, holiday party. I don't wanna,
21:09
you know, they don't
21:11
celebrate Christmas. No, they don't. No,
21:13
well, because they don't believe in God, right?
21:15
The Democrats, their gods are evolving, right? They
21:18
go, you know, Greta Thunberg is the high
21:20
priestess of climate change. Ouchy is
21:22
the, you know, the Lord of
21:24
science. Yeah, science and COVID. And
21:27
these days it's Vladimir Zelinski, the
21:30
high priest of Ukraine, which is apparently the number one issue
21:32
for a couple of years across the country, but I've not
21:34
yet seen that anywhere. But
21:37
those are the people they choose to be their
21:39
deities and, you know, everything follows that
21:41
path until they burn out, flame out or,
21:43
you know, get exposed for what they really
21:45
are. How can you run a presidential campaign
21:47
when you're fighting
21:50
multiple legal battles, criminal?
21:53
Well, I mean, that's by design, right? I
21:55
mean, you look at all of these things. They
21:57
understand, listen, Joe Biden in a baseball.
22:00
is good for Joe Biden's campaign. Because
22:02
if you put him on a stage,
22:05
it's a negative. He's incapable of getting through a
22:07
teleprompter. He would get lost at this table. Yes.
22:10
And I don't say that as
22:12
like, glibly. No, it's sad. It's sad. I
22:15
feel bad. He
22:17
can't get through basic things, and yet he's the leader
22:19
of the free world or whoever's pulling
22:21
the marionette strings. Trump
22:26
locked in a courtroom for five weeks while he
22:29
should be campaigning. That's really good for
22:31
them, because he can bring that message to people. People
22:34
understand what he's saying. It
22:36
resonates with them. He's able to
22:38
bring people over who would not have otherwise been
22:40
able to, or would have ever voted Republican. He's
22:43
one of the few guys that can do that,
22:45
sort of expose the left for what it is,
22:47
expose what we're talking about, break through the noise
22:50
put out there by the mainstream media,
22:53
break through the noise and sort of the
22:55
manipulation of big tech. And
23:00
those are trillion dollar industries that are
23:02
functioning as the marketing department for today's
23:04
Democrat party. And to
23:07
be able to single-handedly sort of
23:09
break some of those walls down, I
23:13
felt like if I was in charge of that, if I was in
23:15
charge of the Democrats, we'd be winning elections 99.9 to 0.01. Exactly.
23:20
And yet they're still close. I
23:22
think our messaging is there, and I think
23:24
it's really important, perhaps, honestly, the stuff
23:27
that they've done to my father, perhaps
23:29
it's the most important thing to happen to America
23:31
in recent history in that it's
23:33
exposed just how bad it is. I think there's a
23:35
difference. You can't hide from it anymore. It's not like,
23:38
I get it, you come home from a long
23:40
day of work, you're trying to feed your family, you're listening to five
23:42
minutes of Brian Stelther on TV, he's
23:44
like, well, there's gotta be something to it. During
23:47
the early campaign stuff, if I watch TV and hear about
23:49
myself, I'm like, man, I hate me too. It's
23:53
so bad, people feel it every
23:55
day. They're not going
23:57
for it anymore, and I think it's why they're watching you
23:59
here or me on rumble. or whatever it
24:01
may be, they're going to other places
24:03
to hear an alternate viewpoint because the
24:05
machine just isn't delivering anymore
24:07
and it's so unreal. But the
24:09
machine knows that and the machine exists
24:11
to perpetuate itself, that's the only point,
24:13
is to maintain power. These
24:16
are incompetent people with no other prospects in life other
24:18
than running the machine. Well not all of them are
24:21
incompetent. When I see what tech is doing. Yeah,
24:24
when I see what tech is doing though, you even
24:26
see it now, because I see just the
24:29
algorithm. It'll show me just enough of
24:31
what I want to see but never promote anything else. And
24:33
my meta platforms, I haven't grown in three years and yet
24:35
everyone that comes up to me, hey you got the greatest
24:37
Instagram I've ever seen. So the
24:39
people who are already following me will
24:41
see my stuff so it appears. It's
24:43
almost like it's AI designed to let
24:45
you think you're not
24:48
being censored or that you're able to
24:50
see the stuff that you want. Oh I'm aware.
24:52
That they're preventing that growth. You're well aware of
24:54
that. So the evolution of that is making it
24:56
harder. In 16, 17, 18,
24:59
when I was starting to get censored by, let's call it Twitter 1.0, they're
25:02
like, well how do you know you're being censored? I was like, well because
25:04
yesterday I got 7,500 retweets on
25:06
a post, today I got three. And it's, I do
25:09
my own social, when I hit that button, I know
25:11
what it's going to do. I know when
25:13
it's, okay that's a decent post, I don't know, that's hot, that's gonna
25:15
go big. And it's like when it goes
25:17
big for about 30 seconds and then it's like, just,
25:20
you see exactly what they're doing but
25:22
they're coming up with better ways to
25:24
make it appear as though they're not censoring while
25:28
still continuing to perpetuate
25:31
and push the ideals that
25:33
they espoused and valid. No one interfered in
25:35
the last election more than Mark
25:37
Zuckerberg. Or Google. Or
25:40
Sergey Brin, that's exactly right. But let me ask
25:42
you, the convictions
25:44
come down 34 yesterday and your father goes
25:46
out there and just basically raises the middle
25:48
finger and says we're gonna win anyway. And
25:52
within hours, Benning Thompson of
25:54
Mississippi, who's a monster, Democratic
25:57
Congressman, says, introduces legislation.
26:00
to pull his Secret Service. So basically they're saying, okay,
26:02
we'll kill you now. Well, they did that a while
26:04
ago also. If he goes to prison, we want to
26:06
pull his Secret Service. So basically if we put him
26:08
in a cell, we're gonna put him in a place
26:10
where he could be murdered by a death threat. Of
26:12
course it is. But from a member of Congress, again,
26:16
should it surprise us? I mean, you look at half
26:18
the Congressmen, you'll get in their faces, make them feel
26:20
it. I mean, they can say these things and they
26:22
are lauded as heroes. If we've said something even remotely
26:25
like that, we're literally inciting
26:27
violence. I mean, those words are violence, sucker. The
26:30
double standard that's
26:33
out there. I mean, Congresswoman after
26:35
Congresswoman, you have a
26:37
Hamas caucus in Congress calling for the
26:40
death of people in the Middle East. Well,
26:42
that's okay, you can't do that. If we did something similar, we'd
26:47
be blocked, we'd be off of every platform,
26:49
we'd be canceled. Again,
26:53
different games. We're playing two very, very
26:55
different games. But that's so threatening. Tony
26:59
Fauci, he doesn't even work for the government. He's
27:01
got secret service protection. He walks in the dog
27:03
park in Washington, D.C. I happen to know for a
27:05
fact, because it's my dog park, a former
27:07
dog park, and he's got three guys following him, but
27:09
they want to pull it from your death. Well,
27:12
look at what they did with some of the justices, the Supreme Court
27:14
justices, right? I mean, you think that they'd be
27:16
able to do what they've done to,
27:18
even, I mean, Alito, even this week, we're
27:20
gonna make him recuse himself because his wife hung a flag
27:22
upside down. I was like, well, you know, she can't express
27:24
an opinion. What they've tried to do
27:26
to Clarence Thomas, what they did as it relates to Gorsuch and
27:29
others, it's
27:32
insanity. If they did that to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, if they were
27:34
picketing in front of their house, like they did Amy Chloe Barrett,
27:37
that would be a serious problem. Those people would go to
27:39
jail, of course. But you know, we'll let the, you know,
27:41
that's the conservative justice, we'll let them suffer a little bit.
27:44
We'll make sure it, but it's effective.
27:46
Because then you see some of them, and some of
27:48
them are a little weaker than, you know, perhaps their
27:50
principles. And, you know, they're like, man, it's a little
27:52
bit easier. Maybe I got to go a little light
27:54
on this one because it's not worth the headache. When
27:56
the Democratic Party's militia shows up outside your house, it's
27:58
happened to me. Yeah. You know, people
28:00
are intimidated by that. Of course. And we
28:02
see it across the board. It's designed,
28:04
you know, the Hunter Biden laptop. That's Russian disinformation.
28:07
Here's 52 intelligence officers signing off on it. Oh,
28:09
it must be. Four years later. Oh, no, it's
28:11
actually his laptop. Yeah, there's no
28:13
accountability for that either. But either they're
28:15
like, well, don't worry, admitting it now. It's like, no, but you
28:17
got exactly what you wanted at the time. We
28:20
understand there's no accountability for it. That's
28:22
election interference as much as anything else. Also,
28:25
you know, there was a stat like it was 17
28:27
percent of people said they know about the Hunter
28:29
Biden laptop, it would have changed their vote in
28:31
2020. 17
28:33
percent. That's a lot. That's
28:36
a lot of votes. And
28:38
yet, you know, that was the gospel. And if you said
28:40
anything about it, we've had the conversation about, you know, Wuhan
28:42
lab leak theory. No, no, no, of course it
28:44
didn't come from the lab. It studies the virus in
28:47
question that we find that it came from the wet
28:49
market three feet outside of the lab. And if you
28:51
believe otherwise, we're going to pull your funding. If you're
28:53
a doctor, you'll lose, you know, you'll lose tenure.
28:55
If you're at a university, you won't, you know,
28:57
Fauci's going to not sign off on your your your
28:59
grants anymore. And even if you're like,
29:02
but you don't have to be a scientist, like,
29:04
how would you know you're not a virologist? It's like you
29:07
don't have to be a virologist to know that it happened there.
29:09
You just have to not be an imbecile. Like,
29:11
you know, you can have like mid
29:14
double digit IQ and be like, of course it
29:16
came from the place that studies the
29:18
exact virus in question that was at ground
29:21
zero of where it released and
29:23
not from four feet outside of that. Like,
29:26
it's insane. And yet think of the truly
29:29
intelligent people in positions of power
29:31
and medicine and otherwise who went
29:33
along with this blindly because,
29:36
you know, it was easier to do. And, you know,
29:38
there's a lot of money and, you know, it's not
29:40
hard to do that now, though. I mean, everything that's
29:42
happened isn't all that long ago. I mean, right. But
29:44
it's this. I do think at this point, if you're
29:47
still telling yourself those lies, you are lying to yourself,
29:49
you're a liar. It doesn't matter. They correct it years
29:51
later, but they got what they needed out of the
29:54
ruse. Right. Right. They got what they needed.
29:56
And again, because there's no accountability after the
29:58
fact, it doesn't matter. They'll do it again
30:00
and they'll make it the gospel for six months or you
30:03
know, they always said, you know, the difference between the truth and
30:05
the conspiracy theory is six months. Yeah. You
30:07
know, now it's like six minutes, but they'll still get what they want out of that
30:09
six minutes, use it to
30:11
manipulate whatever they need to. And you know,
30:13
I don't see that stopping. I see more
30:15
people being awake to it, right? That six months
30:17
move to six minutes because people are
30:20
not just blindly buying the BS
30:22
anymore. We
30:28
talk it all. We brought
30:30
them to our land.
30:35
The endless night. Ember hot and free. The rage
30:37
of the earth. We made this gospel. We caused it to block
30:39
our backs. We did not see.
30:41
We could not but she did. And in
30:43
the end, what will I become? Then we'll
30:46
start the day. Play it now with game

to overwhelm the margin of fraud. So it's, wait,
31:38
it's just to ask. It's July 11th is sentencing.
31:40
July 11th. Yeah, by the way, you think
31:42
that's a coincidence. That's four days before the
31:44
Republican National Convention. You think that's a coincidental
31:47
timing or do you think that's designed to
31:50
throw a wrench into that?
31:53
I mean, you know, yet another coincidence, right? What
31:55
happens if they can, they were Amanda and put him in jail
31:57
then. I imagine they will
31:59
try. Why? Why wouldn't they?
32:01
Yeah, of course. Does anyone think?
32:04
And again, I know that's too far. Nothing's
32:06
too far. And
32:09
again, until it happens, everyone, we have to
32:11
stop giving them the benefit of the doubt thinking they're going to
32:13
act above board. Just
32:16
a norm length transaction. No, it's not. What
32:18
are you talking about? There's not a single aspect of this case
32:20
that should stand in any court. Where
32:22
do you appeal right now? To the
32:24
New York Appellate Division, which is just as radical? And
32:27
it's not just this case. Look
32:29
at all the shade, all the craziness around
32:32
Fannie Willis, right, that case. You
32:35
look at Jack Smith and the FBI doctoring documents
32:37
and setting up staging photos and then leaking it
32:39
to the Washington Post, the classified documents that end
32:41
up on the front page of the Washington Post.
32:43
That's fine. Each one of these things wouldn't
32:47
stand. If we did this to, meaning
32:49
conservatives, some sort of Republican, did this
32:51
to Obama, it
32:54
would never end. It would be a perpetual story,
32:56
and rightfully so. And yet, like,
32:58
hey, as long as it's against a conservative, as long
33:00
as it's against Trump, who's up against that machine, we're
33:03
going to allow these things to happen. It's not like
33:05
one of these things doesn't have any serious
33:08
hair on it. They're all shady as hell.
33:10
And yet it doesn't matter. And our mainstream
33:12
media almost refuses to cover it. They
33:15
won't talk about these things. My
33:17
father, in many cases, is gagged. I mean, think
33:19
about that. I mean, you know, First Amendment is
33:21
kind of the First Amendment, right? It's a big one for us.
33:25
The former president of the United States is not allowed to talk
33:28
about the facts of the case, because if people
33:30
actually heard that from him, they'd
33:32
realize just how much BS is in
33:34
all of these things. That
33:37
should trouble a lot of people. You think it stops
33:39
with Trump? Like, I mean, think
33:41
about that. I mean, if they
33:43
can do it to arguably one of the most out
33:46
there, most powerful people in the world, a
33:50
bank account to be able to fight, a base
33:52
to push it, venues to be up
33:54
a soap box to speak from, if they can do
33:56
it to him, who can't they
33:58
do it to? And importantly,
34:00
if they will, so flagringly and
34:02
so corruptly do it to him, who
34:05
won't they do it to? I mean that's the question
34:07
we have to be asking. I mean is
34:09
anyone safe? And it's like
34:11
COVID. People going blindly along, no, it's going
34:13
to be different this time. I'm like really?
34:16
That's what you've got out of this last
34:18
eight years? The Republican candidate, who is leading
34:20
in the polls, all things equal, he becomes
34:22
president again in November. If they
34:24
put him in jail right before the
34:26
presidential, the Republican convention
34:29
on fake charges stemming
34:31
from a rigged trial,
34:34
they're kind of pushing violence, aren't they? Listen. How do
34:36
they expect people to respond to that? Nothing like that
34:39
has ever happened to me. In reality, you have to
34:41
be careful even how you talk about that, right? No,
34:43
they are pushing violence. Well, they
34:45
are. They are. They clearly
34:47
are. Again, nothing should surprise us.
34:50
The star witness of this case is someone who
34:52
lied before every branch of Congress was disbarred, lied
34:55
to banks, lied to wives, lied to the press,
34:57
but we're expected to believe that he actually told
34:59
the truth in this one instance. That's who
35:02
they hang their hand on because it doesn't matter. When
35:05
it's rigged the way it is, it doesn't
35:07
matter. We're moving toward something ugly and I
35:09
don't want that. No
35:11
one does. But
35:14
they're not going to let it play out.
35:16
I mean, do you think they'll ever take their foot off
35:18
the gas? No, it's not. They've gotten away
35:20
with it for years. How
35:23
should people respond, do you think? I
35:25
think honestly, the reality is everyone has to get
35:27
involved. Yeah. Again, both sides.
35:29
I mean, you have to have people
35:33
running for office. And I'm not talking about president
35:35
or Congress. Like, run for your school boards.
35:37
I mean, that's perhaps the thing that's most important to me.
35:41
Frankly, there's a component of me that I don't want to
35:43
win the presidency if we don't have Congress in the Senate
35:45
because I'll probably be up on charges again and we'll
35:47
get to go through impeachment, you know, three, four,
35:49
five, six, seven, eight, nine, you know, for the
35:51
next four years. And,
35:54
you know, I don't think that's a great place to be. But I
35:56
think, you know, apathy
35:58
has caused us a lot of problems. especially on
36:00
the conservative side. Hey, we run businesses and we do
36:02
these sorts of things and we want to spend time
36:04
with our families on all noble things and important, but
36:07
we have to take the initiative
36:09
to get involved at every level of these
36:11
things because the left has taken over every
36:14
major institution in our country
36:16
that controls. I mean, what they've done
36:18
in education, manipulating our children, what
36:20
they've done in entertainment, oftentimes the same thing.
36:24
It can't stand if we actually want to
36:26
have a future. Our
36:29
kids, they graduate out, there's high schools with higher districts,
36:31
no one can read or do math, but they know
36:33
the 4,376 genders. And
36:36
I imagine since this interview started, there's probably another
36:38
15 that I haven't included that, so I
36:40
don't want to be labeled as whatever
36:43
you, a gender bigot by not including them,
36:45
but that's the last I've been able to
36:47
keep track of. We
36:50
just live in perilous times. It
36:53
does seem kind of heartening. I think he raised
36:55
more money in the hours after the verdict than
36:57
anyone's ever raised. How much did you raise? It's
36:59
over, I think $38 million in
37:02
the first couple of hours, small
37:04
dollar donors, and then there was a bunch of big dollar
37:06
donor stuff. That's what's interesting. I mean, there
37:08
are tech VC guys, respected
37:11
guys, that Hillary
37:13
donors and even probably Biden donors, they're
37:15
like, okay, I've seen enough, stroking
37:19
six and seven figure checks now because I
37:21
think people who are watching closely enough truly
37:23
understand just
37:26
how far we have fallen, just
37:30
how close we are perhaps to that fulcrum point
37:32
where there's a point of no return, right?
37:35
Yes. And I think
37:37
if we ever let it get there, there's no question
37:39
in my mind that the Democrat, they'd maintain and seize
37:41
that power and it'll happen like all
37:45
sort of communist nations. And that's
37:48
where we're at. And I think people see that. And people who
37:50
may not even agree with Trump on everything, you don't have to
37:52
agree with Trump on anything like that. I
37:55
obviously agree with him on everything Tucker. As
37:57
the dutiful. But
38:00
you know, it's reached a lot of principle though.
38:02
Yeah, but it's like again,
38:04
you know name name a metric where we're better
38:07
off under Joe Biden You know, we're
38:09
on the brink of you know, World War three
38:11
with the world's largest nuclear superpower by volume of
38:13
nuclear capable You know ballistic missiles. I don't
38:15
know. We're gonna keep funding that we
38:18
we're okaying You
38:20
know a guy that was a former
38:22
like weirdo actor to send the US made missiles
38:24
into Russia provoking that I guess and maybe that's
38:26
What it is. Maybe that's the next distraction, right?
38:28
You know COVID was the distraction for 2020 to
38:31
allow them to manipulate things Maybe World War three
38:34
is the distraction, you know for
38:36
this election. Some of us called this a year ago Yeah,
38:38
man can't win. They're gonna bring us to
38:41
war. Yeah, I mean honestly like I
38:43
don't say that lightly But I don't say it like
38:47
I don't know what would I be at all surprised? Not
38:50
even I think it's lunacy. I think
38:52
it's crazy. But do I think they would do it a hundred percent? a
38:55
Hundred percent. Do you think since you last question
38:58
was just and I might be skipping ahead But
39:00
I don't think we're far from where we're at
39:02
war with Russia Of course if
39:04
we're targeting with a blower talking about the boots on
39:06
the ground I mean that like I've never seen a
39:08
whistleblower disappear that fast in my life. Yeah, you wonder
39:10
why huh? It's almost
39:12
like it's happening But they would need you know,
39:14
the military is in very tough shape and recruitment
39:16
is way down. No one wants to join the
39:18
training military Understandably now
39:21
they're talking about well who would right? Well,
39:23
why would you who's gonna the guys you'd
39:26
want fighting a war for you? You know
39:28
good patriotic red-blooded Americans They
39:30
don't want to go report this you trans admiral not
39:33
because if the trans admiral was patent. Maybe they do
39:35
it Yeah, the trans admiral ain't patent No Okay The
39:37
trans admiral is only an admiral because they're trans not
39:39
because they're competent or capable and it doesn't matter It's
39:41
grotesque a big part of you know signing up for
39:44
that and possibly dying for your country is actually believing
39:46
in the things that You're fighting for that's the basics
39:48
of patriots as a that's exactly and if you don't
39:50
believe in those things and you understand that you're going
39:52
to be vilified You know,
39:55
you're gonna be forced to not learn how to shoot but
39:57
do diversity training. Why on earth would you
39:59
do that? I would And that's the problem they're facing.
40:01
And so the one solution
40:03
was to take illegal aliens and put
40:05
them in the military. So we could have a- Or
40:08
flood our borders and put them in the
40:10
voting roster. And that's another way to make up higher
40:12
up because you've lost other demographics that were reliable voters.
40:14
But they're also talking about the draft. You're hearing that
40:16
all of a sudden. Well, maybe we need a draft.
40:19
So we can be a never ending wars. Again, no
40:24
one's articulated to me, and I kind of do this
40:26
now, feels like for a living. No
40:29
one's articulated, what does victory in Ukraine look like?
40:31
And I don't know what it means. Like,
40:33
is it just like perpetual death of Ukrainians
40:36
and Russians until they're all wiped out and
40:38
BlackRock comes in there and takes over all
40:40
the farmland? I mean, is that what it
40:42
is? Because it, I mean, feels
40:45
like that's what it is to me. They're going
40:47
to, they're already selling off land
40:49
in Ukraine to foreign investors, and they
40:51
will flood Ukraine with third rule immigrants,
40:53
and Ukraine will not exist in
40:55
50 years. There'll be no Ukrainian nation. And
40:58
we betrayed them like no other country ever. But
41:00
I just ask, would people actually serve in a
41:02
draft? I'd
41:05
have a hard time. Honestly, the
41:07
metric I use for this is not just the recruitment numbers,
41:09
but the amount of guys that I know, you
41:12
know, I shoot a lot and whatever, the circles
41:14
are tiny, like, that are like fourth generation army.
41:16
I know. They're like, I would
41:18
beat the crap out of my son if he decided to
41:20
just, like, these are guys that, you know,
41:23
there are entire ethos around that military
41:25
background. They're great friends, and they're like,
41:27
they wouldn't even think about it. They'd
41:29
disown their children if they joined this
41:31
military today. And that's sad. So
41:33
we're saying that's going to make sense. That's scary. Well,
41:37
