Tucker Carlson and Vivek Ramaswamy expose how Democratic megadonors—fearing Biden’s loss and Kamala Harris’ unpopularity—are pivoting to back Nikki Haley, a Republican who mirrors their neoliberal agenda: mass immigration, endless wars, and white guilt narratives. Ramaswamy reveals elite financiers like Reid Hoffman and Larry Fink are orchestrating legal attacks to force a Trump-Haley showdown, eliminating Trump to preserve the Bush-Cheney-era status quo of perpetual conflict and censorship. The election isn’t partisan—it’s a power grab by a managerial class to maintain control over the war machine and administrative state. [Automatically generated summary]
Putin and Ukraine are actually integrally connected to Hamas and Israel.
And we need to spend all of our attention and all of our money on those matters rather than on our own country, which is degrading faster than most people can even keep track of.
Well, that's completely insane, of course.
But it's also something that Joe Biden might say, were he capable of speaking that lucidly?
And it's certainly something that Joe Biden's biggest donors agree with.
Which is why many of them are now backing Nikki Haley.
See how this works?
Vivek Ramaswamy does.
He's actually engaged in this.
He's running for president and he's figured out what's actually going on.
He joins us now.
Vivek, thanks so much for coming on.
What have you noticed about the kind of subtext to this race?
What's actually going on here, do you think?
unidentified
Yeah, well, look, I've been convinced for a long time, Tucker, that this was not going to be a standard Trump versus Biden race.
There's just been enough staring you in the face that made that obvious, right?
You start with the trials and the civil trials and the prosecutions, and then they go to the non-prosecution and illegal removals from a ballot without trial on the Trump side.
The thing that fascinated me about the Biden side of this, though, is you also see some of the same dynamics.
The documents case for Biden trotting itself out after years long ago in the Senate.
You see a lot of other things with Biden.
Why is the Hunter stuff coming out now when this has been known for seven years?
And so where I thought this was going was Gavin Newsom or Michelle Obama or whichever other puppet they're trotting out to replace Biden.
But one of the things that's become clear to me, so that's where I thought this was going.
It was not what was meeting the eye, for sure.
I think what's become clear to me now, I'm in the thick of this GOP primary, is that the real puppet they're trotting out isn't Gavin Newsom.
It isn't Michelle Obama.
I was wrong about that, actually.
I think the true puppet masters, the thing about them is they're fundamentally nonpartisan in nature.
There's a few things they care about.
Keeping the foreign war machine humming is high on the list.
Keeping the administrative state's control of the United States is also high on the list.
They found a much more convenient puppet within the Republican Party itself.
It's not Gavin.
It's not Michelle.
It's Nikki, actually.
And I think that if you just follow exactly who are the very people who are paying to keep Donald Trump off the ballot, who are funding the lawsuits that keep Trump off the ballot, the Reid Hoffmans of the world funding lawsuits against Trump, the Larry Finks of the world, king of the woke industrial complex, CEO of BlackRock.
It's just obvious and hiding in plain sight.
Who are these people propping up?
It's not Biden, and it's not even Gavin Newsom.
It's Nikki Haley within the Republican Party itself.
And I think that that makes for a very convenient frontman, because then they actually have absolved themselves from any allegations of...
Partisanship or Democratic partisanship against Donald Trump.
They can say, oh, no, no, we're not partisans.
We're actually bipartisan.
Actually, the deep state, and I would say the managerial class more broadly, is fundamentally nonpartisan.
They have their core objectives.
And Nikki makes for a far better Trojan horse to actually accomplish that objective than anybody else.
And so when you look at the dynamics within the megadonor class or otherwise, it is now crystal clear to me, Tucker, that...
Let's just get to exactly the plan that they have.
I mean, I've been alluding to this for a long time.
I wanted people in the campaign trail and others to be able to draw their own conclusions.
I don't want to stuff my views down people's throats.
But I think it's just become crystal clear that it's now staring everybody in the face equally, obviously.
That they want to narrow this down.
By they, I mean the system.
The bipartisan system wants to narrow this down to be a two-horse race between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley.
They want it one way or another.
By hell or high water, take Donald Trump out, eliminate him from competition one way or another, and prop Nikki Haley up to just waltz straight in to keep the war machine humming and to effectively keep the censorship industrial complex and the administrative state intact exactly where it was in the post-911 Bush-Cheney era.
