=== Way Against Corporations (04:31) ===

[00:00:00]  With mass immigration, they're going to have an insuperable majority.
[00:00:04]  After Obama won, Rudy Teixeira, one of the many Democrats who had bragged about ha-ha-ha, immigrants are turning the country blue, said, here it is.
[00:00:16]  I call it George McGovern's revenge.
[00:00:19]  Look at how Obama won.
[00:00:21]  He did not get a majority of historic Americans, but he got a huge majority of immigrants and of our usual base, minorities, women, divorcees, college professors.
[00:00:35]  So to stand out when Republicans are bad on immigration because their donors want the cheap labor and don't care what kind of country it is.
[00:00:42]  They really often are the way.
[00:00:47]  The way we don't like to think of big corporations.
[00:00:49]  This isn't small businessmen.
[00:00:51]  It's big corporations.
[00:00:53]  They don't care.
[00:00:55]  So that was the bravest position he took, in a way brave, by standing against the parties and the corporations and the donors.
[00:01:02]  But it was a piece of all of his populist issues, ending NATO, bringing manufacturing back.
[00:01:09]  We've lost something like, I think this is in Trump We Trust, About 20,000 manufacturing jobs since the early 90s.
[00:01:22]  I mean, we all know about opioids sweeping the nation.
[00:01:27]  It's just the working class and the middle class has been so run over by globalists and Wall Street and the two parties.
[00:01:37]  It was the populist issues that were so...
[00:01:41]  So stunning.
[00:01:42]  I mean, one issue, it seems like a small point.
[00:01:44]  It's not like it's going to pay the entire national debt, but the carried interest loophole or the tax loophole for hedge fund managers.
[00:01:55]  It was sort of stunning to me, actually, that Donald Trump was the only politician in either party who said that's unfair.
[00:02:04]  I'm sure your listeners have heard.
[00:02:06]  Warren Buffett going on about how outrageous it is that he pays a lower tax rate than his secretary.
[00:02:13]  And yes, he could pay more if he wanted to.
[00:02:15]  But the point is, he's right.
[00:02:17]  And why does he feel like he can do that?
[00:02:20]  Because he knows neither party, not the Republicans, not the Democrats, are going to touch that.
[00:02:25]  I don't know why the Republicans won't touch it.
[00:02:27]  They don't even get the money, the campaign money.
[00:02:30]  Wall Street gives all its money to the Democrats.
[00:02:32]  But on that stage, I just think...
[00:02:35]  We remember when Trump brought it up.
[00:02:37]  I think it was the very first debate.
[00:02:38]  And John Kasich jumped in and said, no, no, we need to keep it for capitalism and investment or some jackass response like that.
[00:02:47]  No, giving hedge fund guys a totally unfair loophole.
[00:02:53]  It has nothing to do with capitalism.
[00:02:55]  It has nothing to do with encouraging investments.
[00:02:58]  Donald Trump was the only person, the only politician who said he'd get rid of it.
[00:03:02]  Then he gets to office.
[00:03:03]  And hires Gary Cohn from Goldman Sachs.
[00:03:06]  Oh, no, no, no.
[00:03:07]  We need to keep this loophole.
[00:03:09]  I mean, that's just indicative of him turning his back when he got...
[00:03:12]  The day he was elected, I thought I never thought I'd see this day.
[00:03:16]  We have a president of the United States who got elected without a penny from Wall Street.
[00:03:22]  He owes them nothing!
[00:03:25]  And what was...
[00:03:26]  I know.
[00:03:28]  Let's turn the keys of the kingdom over to Wall Street.
[00:03:31]  Well, I shouldn't be bashing them.
[00:03:32]  There's still time to vote.
[00:03:33]  The other side is a disaster.
[00:03:35]  I'm terrified of the identity politics we're going to have.
[00:03:38]  I'd love to see the media weep.
[00:03:40]  They have been absolutely outrageous.
[00:03:43]  But I suppose it's clear I'm not hugely optimistic.
[00:03:49]  You're not hugely optimistic about his winning or you're not hugely optimistic about him?
[00:03:53]  Well, both.
[00:03:55]  Right.
[00:03:56]  I'm hugely optimistic about him.
[00:03:58]  But, you see, you're a voice that's necessary because you try to make sure that the ship stays in the direction that it should be headed.
[00:04:09]  And I appreciate that.
[00:04:11]  But given what he has accomplished, and what he has stopped, and what he has illuminated, I did not know, to be perfectly honest, I did not know the corruption.

=== The Swamp Is Real (01:46) ===

[00:04:23]  At the highest echelons of the American government until Donald Trump.
[00:04:27]  The FBI is corrupt.
[00:04:30]  The CIA is corrupt.
[00:04:32]  The bureaucracy is corrupt.
[00:04:34]  The State Department is corrupt.
[00:04:36]  I did not know that.
[00:04:38]  Yes.
[00:04:39]  Yes, I agree.
[00:04:40]  The swamp is a real concept.
[00:04:42]  I am so grateful to Trump for giving us a word.
[00:04:47]  You can't understand things until you have a word for it.
[00:04:52]  Now we have the word, and yes, I completely agree with you.
[00:04:55]  Even after Trump's election, I didn't realize how bad the swamp was.
[00:04:59]  It's real.
[00:05:00]  That's our enemy.
[00:05:02]  I don't think the populist issues are going away.
[00:05:06]  And hopefully he will have sparks.
[00:05:10]  And on your passion issue, which I share, they have already announced, Biden has announced.
[00:05:19]  What is it, 11 million, 21 million?
[00:05:22]  I don't remember the number.
[00:05:24]  Pathway to citizenship of illegal immigrants.
[00:05:26]  Yes, yes.
[00:05:28]  There are a lot of terror scenarios with Biden and Kamala.
[00:05:37]  I mean, who knows how far they'll get in any of these endeavors, but they are angry.
[00:05:43]  They want truth and reconciliation commissions to investigate anyone who supported Trump, anyone on the other side.
[00:05:50]  I mean, you've seen them talking on TV.
[00:05:52]  They want to change the country fast.
[00:05:54]  They can't wait.
[00:05:55]  They can't just wait for immigration to change it for them.
[00:05:59]  All right, we'll be back in a moment.
[00:06:01]  Ann Coulter, I want to take your calls.
