1:16:48 Is There Hope?
I have so many relatives in Texas that, no, it's true.
Some of them are from here.
Others fled as the rest of the country collapsed.
I'm always here.
It's so wonderful.
I mean, I guess no matter where I was.
If I was in Bayonne, New Jersey, I'd pretend to like it, but I actually do love Texas.
I don't have to pretend.
And I'm sure there's great stuff going on in Bayonne.
You don't even know where that is, do you?
Good.
Anyway, thank you so much for having me.
We have protesters outside, which I love.
No, it's amazing!
Someone just told me that.
We've been on the road this is our ninth night.
We're going coast to coast.
16 different cities.
And the idea was, you know, you want to see the country that you love, that you were born in, that you're going to die in, and that you really care about.
But also, they can't censor a live event.
And there's something about being in a room full of people you agree with that is so great.
It's like a spa treatment.
It's incredible.
If you spend your life experiencing the rest of the country through your phone or your television or your radio, The eight people who still read newspapers to the newspaper.
You really get such a distorted sense.
It's not an accident, of course.
They're trying to make you dislike your country and have contempt for it and feel hopeless about it.
But above all, they're trying to make you feel crazy like you're the only person who feels the way that you do.
That this is bizarre.
You're thinking, this is bizarre.
You know, you're lying.
You're insane.
And that, I think, is a normal person's reaction to the news, particularly recently.
And, of course, they're flipping it around on you and being like, no, no, everything's fine.
You're crazy.
You're crazy.
And, by the way, after a while, the Soviets used to do this to any sort of dissenter.
You know, they'd put them in a mental hospital and be like, you're crazy.
You don't think the experiment's working?
It's working just fine.
And, you know...
The truth is, they can kind of convince you that there's something wrong with you or that you're an extremist or something because you think what they're doing is nuts.
And that's one of the real reasons I wanted to get out and just be in rooms full of people who are not crazy at all.
They're the most normal people in the country, which, by the way, is the whole country.
I mean, the percentage of people who are on board with the things that are happening now...
It's tiny, and the polls don't reflect it.
I mean, the polls are a reflection of a bunch of things.
Part of it is party identification.
Part of it is fear, you know, convincing people that, you know, your side may be terrible, but the other side is really dangerous.
And part of them are just absolutely fake.
I mean, they're not even real.
They're designed to discourage you and to tell you a story that's not rooted in reality.
But whatever the cause of bad polling...
It doesn't measure the truth about the country, which is most people are not mad at each other at all.
Most people have more in common than they don't.
They live here, they're Americans, they have basically 99% of things in common, and they're not mad at each other.
And I know that because I always think of myself as the most hated person in America, probably some truth in that.
But, you know, when I show up at your Quiznos or something for my unhealthy lunch, no one ever says anything nasty to me.
Everyone's nice.
Oh, I love you too.
Were you at Quiznos?
I think I saw you.
You were getting the turkey.
But it's funny.
It really is a lie.
People in this country are not actually at an individual level divided by race or sex or party ID to anywhere near the extent that they tell you.
At all.
Like, who is actually for, I don't know, inflation or no borders or...
Castrating your kids and having no grandchildren.
No one is for that.
Nine rich ladies in LA are for that.
Everybody else hates it.
That's just true, and you're just reminded of that when you travel.
And that's why I do wish I had a chance to meet the protesters.
I kind of like protesters.
They're just interesting, and when you confront them in person, they never have the stones to get mad at you.
I always have the exact same thought because, you know, you try to be reflective and when people call you names, I do think it's really important to ask yourself honestly, in some quiet place, the shower is a good spot, you know, is that true?
Am I what they're calling me?
Because you don't want to be the things they're calling you, actually.
And you don't want to let them turn you in to the things they're calling you, which is also part of the goal, to upset you so much that you become the hater they claim you are.
But so I have been through this process for, you know, so many years where they call you something, and I actually do try to take stock.
Like, am I that person?
I don't want to be that person.
Am I that person?
And the one thing that always makes me laugh is when, and I'm sure every person in this room has been called it, but an extremist.
You're an extremist!
I was like, you know, whatever else I am, You know, a dessert eater, some other unattractive qualities, I'll admit it.
But whatever else I am, I'm the opposite of an extremist.
I hate change.
My parents got divorced.
I'm totally opposed to change.
I don't like any change.
It's just, I honestly have a really clear vision of America that doesn't strike me as extremist, it strikes me as the opposite.
I liked America in 1985, actually, very well.
And I'm sure a lot of people in this room...
Aren't old enough to remember 1985, and those of you who aren't may think, well, you know, did they have electricity and air conditioning and air travel then?
Was the country segregated?
No!
It was awesome!
There was very little conversation about the things that divided us.
There was a ton of conversation about fun, irrelevant things like sports and the weather, and, like, that really mattered.
And in a healthy society, a happy society, people's focus is not entirely on politics, of course.
Politics is what you do to make the things that are important possible, like your marriage, your children, your religious faith, your job.
Politics is the price you pay for the freedom to continue doing what you want to do, to live your life without bothering people.
And in 1985, most people lived lives like that.
I never heard of a family in 1985 that was divided by politics.
Everybody had some sort of crazy...
You know, organic peanut butter on.
You know what I mean?
Who'd sort of never gotten over the 60s.
And she was sort of nice.
Long, complicated earrings.
Faint aroma of incense.
Marijuana.
It wasn't clear what it was.
But, you know, a musky scent.
And she was pretty enthused about the whales.
And she wasn't fully in touch with, like, shaving her body hair.
You considered her faintly hilarious, and she would sit in Indian style and ask you about your feelings, and you'd be like, okay.
But there was no sense in which families that I recall anyway, and I grew up in California.
I'm embarrassed to say that to Texans since you've been invaded by them.
You should have built a wall, actually, on your Western.
No, I'm serious.
You should have.
You should have.
But you didn't!
Man, they're everywhere and I can spot them.
You know your own people.
Anyway.
But there was no sense in which politics was the most important thing at all.
Because at the time, and this is the difference in 1985, we had leaders, some of whom I agreed with, some of whom I didn't.
But none of them took it as their personal mission to divide the country they led.
And make people hate each other.
That would be unthinkable in 1985. And in fact, it would be unthinkable to any normal person.
Because the last thing you ever do is divide the people you're in charge of.
And if you're a parent, you know this.
If you're a parent, your deepest desire, your secret dream, the thing that motivates you above all is the idea that your children will love each other.
Because you're going to be gone.
As I heard someone say the other day, we get our, you know, we lose our parents way too soon.
We find our spouses and our children way too late, but it's our siblings who are with us from beginning to end.
And that's true.
And every parent knows that's true.
And so the measure of a happy family, I've always thought, is the degree to which the children, the siblings, the brothers and sisters love each other and are united.
And that's what you leave behind, much more than any real estate portfolio or money that you pass on.
Is the love between your offspring.
That's such a natural desire.
But it's true in every human organization.
The leader's job is twofold.
One, to be courageous.
Because the bravest man is the leader, regardless of title.
Doesn't matter.
Bravery is the indispensable quality in a leader.
Period.
Period.
And the second...
Is the unity of the people you lead.
And that's true in your office, it's true in your platoon if you serve in the military, and it's above all true in your family.
And of course it's true at scale in a country of 350 million people.
And so it takes an extraordinary kind of leader, an evil leader, by definition evil, to set out to intentionally divide people he leads.
Period.
And that is what we've seen.
And you may be wondering, well, wait a second.
Aren't you getting to motive?
How can you know the motive of our leaders?
Because you can't see their hearts.
Only God knows what they really think.
And that is a fair rebuttal.
No one actually said that I'm anticipating your criticism ahead of time.
And I've changed my thinking on this.
I've always, since I've been in journalism my whole life, I've always sort of kept away from guessing people's motives because honestly you can't know.
But I have decided in middle age that actually I can know.
And I know motive by result.
The result is the goal over time.
In other words, if you keep doing something and winding up in a certain place, you meant to get to that place, no matter what you tell me.
It doesn't matter what story you tell me.
It doesn't matter what story you tell yourself.
All I care about is the effect because I judge the tree by its fruits.
You can tell me you're a lemon tree, but if pears come out...
I think you're lying.
To yourself or to me or both, it doesn't matter.
You're not a lemon tree, you're a pear tree.
And so if the effect of your policies is to divide the people you lead and make them hate each other and divide the essential organization and human civilization in life, which is the family, you meant to do that.
And there's nothing more evil than that.
When they sent us home for Thanksgiving three years ago.
I told us on television.
Your job when you get home for Thanksgiving, a sacred secular holiday, the only holiday that all Americans share, actually, regardless of religious faith, Thanksgiving, where we give thanks for this nation that we inherited.
When they sent us home from cable news to Thanksgiving, they told us explicitly, you go home and you find your uncle.
Your grandmother, your dad, whoever's not with the program, and you lecture them about whatever, Black Lives Matter, the Vax, it doesn't matter, COVID, the mask, social distancing.
The pretext was irrelevant.
The point was they worked intentionally to turn children against their parents, to turn Americans against their neighbors, to turn the races against each other.
They've been on that program for 60 years, and it still hasn't worked.
Most Americans do not hate each other on the basis of their race.
Boy, have they failed on that program.
I've been called a racist a million times.
And yet I have never one time in all the years I've lived in this country, which is 55, ever been attacked by someone of a different race because I'm a racist.
Not one person has ever said that.
The only person who's ever said that to me are the private equity wives in the ski lift in Jackson Hole.
I'm serious.
Sitting trying to enjoy my elk chili at the four seasons between runs.
The only people who've ever called me that are rich ladies.
I'm just being honest with you.
And I always say the same thing, which is, I don't like you, actually.
That doesn't make me racist.
it just makes me discerning.
And you sort of wonder, sorry, sorry, sorry.
I will cop to bigotry.
That's my bigotry.
Sorry.
I'll admit it.
It actually makes me feel guilty to admit that there's a group of people I just don't like as a category, but it is private equity wives.
So, sorry, now that I've gotten this like an AA meeting, I'm just getting it all out there.
I'm just telling you the truth.
Those are my sins.
But you sort of think to yourself, like, what happened?
What was the change?
And the truth is, for whatever reason, and I think it's clearly a product of a spiritual battle in the unseen world, which is totally real.
I didn't grow up thinking, I should also say, since we're being honest with each other, I am from La Jolla, California.
Yeah, who said yeah?
That's not a town where the spiritual battle was much discussed.
We had one topic of conversation in La Jolla, which was the weather, which never changed, by the way, which is sort of amazing.
I never realized it at the time, but people in San Diego County in 1980 could talk for, like, all day.
About the weather.
And the conversation would go something like, you know, it's 75 and partly cloudy.
Yeah, but this afternoon it's going up to 77 and sunny.
And then it's going to go back down to about 74. And this would go on for 12 months here.
That was the only topic.
You could bring up anything you wanted.
It was very sort of open-minded.
I mean, if you decide to become a lesbian nun.
You know, there was nothing too weird for my neighbors, right?
The one thing you couldn't mention was anything transcendent.
Like, for example, you were not allowed to die where I grew up.
No dying.
No one ever died.
At all.
And if someone did die, you could never talk about it.
They just got in the car and drove to Palm Springs.
The presumption was they were on vacation.
You never saw them again.
There was no acknowledgement at all that they died because that would raise the question of what happens next.
And nobody wanted to talk about that.
So I did not grow up in a world where the spiritual battle was discussed, acknowledged in any sense at all.
I've come to this.
By watching empirically on the basis of evidence.
And it's just so clearly true that human beings are being acted upon at all times by forces that they can't see and that this has been the case since the beginning of recorded history because all of history is about that battle.
Every religion, all literature, all art.
And really only people who grew up in La Jolla, California in about 1980 didn't know that.
So it's like a huge shock to me.
What?
I talked to, as I said, my cousins last night in Houston.
I was telling them about this.
They're just like nodding.
And I'm like, but is that unbelievable?
And they're like, yeah.
Duh.
We went to Second Baptist.
We knew that.
So the people, some people have really changed.
What's so striking and what I want the substance of tonight to be about is about how so many...
Other people have changed in different ways, and that's a thing that nobody ever acknowledges, or don't acknowledge enough, and that I don't acknowledge to myself enough.
And so I think if you're like me and you've been paying attention over the last several years, like, what is this?
This is not politics.
Clearly, this is just evil.
Let's just be honest.
This is evil.
There's no reason.
You know, Americans are so patriotic and nice and on the side of the little guy and the underdog.
And, you know, you can absolutely gin up support for any kind of foreign conflict if you tell people, you know, we're on the side of good against the forces of evil.
And once again, they're leveraging, as they are with immigration, your best instincts, your decency, your humanity, your compassion, and using them against you.
Okay?
You're a good person.
By the way, Texas has had immigrants since it was a land-grant state, and they've been great for Texas, I would say.
There's no more pro-immigration state than Texas.
And for good reason.
Immigrants have been great for Texas.
So when they open your border and just wreck your state with immigration, it took Texans a little longer to figure out this was going on because they're like, no, we're good people.
We're welcoming people.
And the same is true with foreign conflicts.
Of course we're on the side of the little guy against fascism or whatever.
And what you don't realize is that the immigration that they're doing now, the open borders immigration, its only purpose is to destroy your country.
That's the point.
That's not a feature.
That's what it's for.
It's an act of punishment.
It's an act of humiliation.
They're trying to destroy the country they grew up in because they hate it.
Now, why do they hate it?
It's a whole separate question.
I'm not a theologian, but it's clear that they do.
And on the war question, it's like, you know, sending, you know, $100 billion or $400 billion to a country only to see its entire male population killed?
That's not fighting for freedom.
That's killing people, actually.
And the fact that you're getting rich in the process is really evil.
So you know things are getting flaky around the world when prices change unexpectedly.
Prices tend to change unexpectedly because something has happened to supply chains, global supply chains.
All of a sudden you notice the price of ammunition goes up.
Or you can't find common rounds.
Where's all the rimfire?
It's just gone.
So, if, say, the current occupants of the White House want to pretend the economy is doing well, they can release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and will get a few weeks of lower gas prices.
Many common medications, life-saving medications, are also susceptible to these forces.
So today, in September of 2024, nearly 30 states are reporting very high levels of the COVID virus.
Now, as we've seen, what that actually means about individual health is kind of irrelevant.
Government posturing can and does lead to stockpiling health supplies and then rising prices.
So you're downstream, all of us are downstream from all of that, from reckless policymakers.
What can you do to protect your family?
Well, obviously you want to be sure that in addition to everything else you've set aside, just in case you have life-saving medications you might need if there were some bigger disruption.
And you want to buy them now at a decent, reasonable price.
But how do you do that?
Well, it's hard.
Who knows where to begin?
Jace.
Jace Medical offers something called the Jace Case.
It's a personalized emergency medication kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.
They include five life-saving antibiotics.
You can even add on things like ivermectin and EpiPens that are sure to become scarce and hard to get if a crisis hits.
And it feels like it might.
So to get your Jace case, visit jacemedical.com, fill out a form.
It gets reviewed by a board-certified physician, and your medications get dispensed by a licensed pharmacy at a fraction of the regular cost.
And by natural, I mean like a product of evolution.
Americans were trained in our secular society for the past 80 years to understand everything through the lens of evolutionary biology.
People do what's good for them, and what's good for them is passing on their genes to future generations, like all animals.
Like all animals are this way.
Why do dogs do what they do?
Because they're interested in eating and, you know, having puppies.
But every species is like that, and we were told that we're like that too.
And so the idea that you would hurt someone for the sake of hurting him, or that you would do good for the sake of doing good, those do not fit into the template that we were taught growing up at all.
There's no possible advantage.
That you derive from empathy, selflessness, altruism, deep compassion.
That doesn't help you pass on your genes.
So why are you doing that?
You're doing that because good exists in the universe as an independent force that acts on us as certainly as evil does.
And it's beautiful.
And it's all around us.
And we see it all around us.
We see some people changing.
Their face becoming masks of hate and derangement.
Saying things that don't make any sense at all.
Like, at all.
That moderation is extremism and love is hate and war is peace and the vaccine is safe and effective or whatever they're saying.
None of it's true.
And we're shocked by that.
But at the same time, I bet if you take stock of your life...
Of the life that actually matters, which is the people that God put around you, beginning with your spouse, extending to your children, going out into concentric circles from there, to all of your relatives, to your parents, to your college roommates, to your co-workers, to your neighbors, the people in your actual sphere, the people who you talk to every day, the people you're responsible for, the people whose duty you have to make happy and to care for.
You will find that your relationships with them are deeper.
And richer and more real and more honest than they've ever been.
I know that that's true in my life.
For all the friends and acquaintances I've lost, which is pretty much all of them, because I'm so extreme.
And I'm sure every person in this room can relate.
The relationships I have with the people who are left or the friendships that I've gained since then are so much more rewarding and richer than they ever were.
I don't even have shallow conversations anymore, and I love shallow conversations.
I'm from San Diego County.
I can still talk about the weather.
It is 74 with broken cloud cover.
It's incredible.
And people are like, no, there's a spiritual war.
I mean, people are so deep all of a sudden.
And it's just so wonderful.
Because what it shows you is that for every person who's decayed inside and been captured by dark forces, which is a lot of people, most of whom seem...
To live in Washington.
There are so many more people who become bigger and more open and more aware of what connects all of us as human beings, all of us as children of God, who are so much more connected, so much more selfless, so much more willing to lay down their lives for other people.
I see that all the time, and it blows my mind.
And why does it blow my mind?
Because it's not natural.
There's no...
Imperative in nature that you lay down your life for another person.
In fact, it's the opposite.
So it's not natural.
It's supernatural.
It is the definition of supernatural.
And it's just the greatest blessing I've ever received, been privileged to see.
I'm recognizing it all around me.
Things are changing really, really fast.
And so to prove that...
We snuck in a guest tonight.
We were planning to have, I was just brooding about this the other day, and I was thinking about this amazing experience I had this summer with a woman called Nicole Shanahan.
So, what I think is so cool and interesting about your story and your honesty is that at a time when people feel in their gut that something is not right with the leadership of the country, You actually can say, you know, I've sort of been there.
I've been around a lot of the people who are making these decisions.
So I'd just be really interested in taking a minute to hear your story.
What convinced you that you should change your mind on some things?
You know, I made that Trump derangement syndrome ad for me.
I made it for me.
And I made it for all the people I know who are suffering from the lies the media is telling them.
And it's an offering.
It's an offering to this country to unify, get over this BS and see what's actually happening here.
And I came to this because, you know, there's two things that change people.
Grief and God.
It's usually grief that comes first.
And my grief was really, I always wanted to be a mother.
And more than anything, I wanted to be a mother.
I wanted to be a lawyer too, but got that out of the way.
I was always very smart.
But being a mother turned out to be a very convoluted experience, it turns out, in this country right now.
And if you're a liberal woman, you're told, go harvest your eggs and freeze them.
They tell you that now really early on.
And so I went through the process, and during the process I realized a number of things, but I walked away with an understanding that science is also not what they're telling us today.
That there's this corporate world that, in the case of IVF, runs the IVF clinics.
And the science of IVF is actually not based in well-researched, well-documented foundational science.
It works.
It was discovered out of cancer research dollars.
But if you actually look at the investment in women's health, it's not there.
And ovarian function, it's the least studied organ in the body.
You leave the Democratic Party, you go with Bobby Kennedy, you run independent, you see the party that you've spent your life in doing things you didn't know it was doing.
At the same time, you're being called anti-science for following the science, a familiar experience, I think, to most people here.
But from there, it's still a huge leap in the mind of every sort of college-educated, affluent person I've ever met in California, which is a lot, to be making an ad like that.
We're not glorifying Trump, but what we are trying to do right now is break through to individuals that have been programmed to see Donald Trump as a criminal.
I wouldn't actually know how to make an ad glorifying Trump, but what I can make an honest ad about Is that we've been lied to about him.
I wish we had like three hours to talk about this because I sense it's the shape of the future and I sense it's maybe the scariest thing most people don't know enough about.
How common are the views that you described, the horrifying Frankenstein-like views you described among Democratic donors and elites?
And you did see this during COVID. The people I lived around during COVID had been forced to ask themselves, you know, no one wants to die.
I have no interest in dying at the moment.
But people were forced to ask themselves, like, is that the worst thing?
And the people who decided it wasn't the worst thing, it's worse to live on your knees, right?
Those people had a joyful time during COVID and the people who decided that dying is the worst possible thing were the ones enforcing mask mandates and the vax.
And you think that stems from the fact that they're afraid to die because they believe on some level there is justice.
was also a very lonely period because no one around me could be someone I could trust with even this notion that perhaps the shot caused an adverse reaction.
This is a no-go for progressives.
You cannot talk about these things amongst these communities.
And the loneliness...
Plus COVID, because this happened around COVID too, led me to a place of utter destruction.
And I was alone in that process.
And, you know, we don't have to talk about my ex-husband.
It's very therapeutic to be here.
It's kind of like therapy right now.
You know, coming out of that completely alone with a child that you feel helpless to help is a position that either leads you to total hermitage or makes you a warrior coming out of that completely alone with a child that you
That really is the beauty of this moment is being shocked by how much you have in common with people you didn't think you had anything in common with at all.
It was awesome.
It was awesome.
And it's happening all around us where people are deciding, you know, this is fake.
Those categories are fake.
I'm going to tell the truth no matter what.
And when you start seeing people doing that, ah.
It gives you heart and hope.
So with that in mind, I want to introduce our second guest of the evening, who is someone who I've known for several years, who I think is one of the most impressive voices in the conversation, one of the smartest, one of the toughest, one of the most interesting, one of the most original thinkers, a totally fearless person, who if you live in Texas, because he lives in this state, he's very local, but I also think he is national.
You're familiar with him, and that is Jesse Kelly, my friend, who joins us now.
I have very embarrassing European-style slippers on, and you're wearing ostrich skin boots, and I've never felt more emasculated than I do now, but I'm going to push through it.
I'm going to push through it.
All my cousins are wearing those boots, and one of them just said to me, do you have any boots?
Yeah, but I'm on the road, so I'm wearing my little slippers.
So where do you think we are right now, since you've got a daily show, you follow the stuff, where are we right now in the presidential race, would you say?
What we have in this country right now, it's something I call the system, but that's just, like, I'm an idiot.
That's the word I came up with for it.
People call it the regime.
You call it whatever you want.
But what we have is nations are built on their institutions, right?
And your immediate institution, your religious institutions, your government institutions, these are the institutions that determine the direction of your country.
And if your institutions are good, your country will be good because the institutions produce other people.
It's not about one person.
Our institutions have been poisoned, poisoned for decades by communist filth, and now they've taken over all the institutions.
And, you know, before I even continue with my institution thing, I just want to make sure you understand something.
You're the good guy.
They are the bad guys.
You are standing for things.
Look behind you right now, and God is there.
Family is there.
We are fighting against demons, and therefore we will fight like we have to win, because they cannot win.
They cannot ever be allowed to win.
Be clear about that.
So once the institutions got completely taken over by communist filth because we ran God out of the country, and then we allowed these people to educate our children, we very naively sent children and then we allowed these people to educate our children, we very naively sent children off to government schools for years thinking they were learning their ABCs when really they
America sucks, it's evil, you send your kid to kindergarten, now he comes home and talks about how we genocided the Native Americans.
But it's crazy.
So we've managed to poison all of these institutions, and now we have a criminal enterprise running the country.
Our government is a criminal enterprise.
It is.
And criminal enterprises do what?
To protect themselves.
Everyone has watched a movie or read a book about a criminal organization, the mafia.
What do they do when there's a threat?
They kill.
Corrupt systems kill.
They tried to blow Donald Trump's head off twice because he threatens that.
And all of us threaten that.
That's why they sent the FBI after school board moms.
That's why they ran all the people out of the military who didn't want to get vaccinated.
The system is afraid.
And they lash out and they kill when they're afraid.
I think it depends on how we classify most Americans.
Are we talking about people who simply reside here or new ones that they've imported into the country?
Because that's an important part.
I wasn't trying to be glib.
That's an important part and it's an important reason why the federal government has taken your money out of every single paycheck and they have flown and bust in foreigners into your country.
They pay for their housing while you can't afford houses.
They pay for their eggs while you can't afford eggs.
They take over your job at the factory for a fraction for pennies on the dollar you were working for, and then they will run ads on television telling you these people are so much more hardworking than the dirtball Americans we just fired.
This is the greatest thing in the world.
The propaganda would not be so heavy if they were comfortable in their position of power.
People think that these people are all-powerful right now.
They're the furthest thing from it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't still be lying.
They would just be showing up at your house in the middle of the night to shoot you in the face like they did in the Soviet Union.
They know they have to lie about every single thing and they're not even good at it.
If you want to feel really great about something, we're up against a bunch of tubby losers without girlfriends.
The most interesting and newsworthy television show of the year is coming here to TCN. We are not bragging.
that's actually true.
So our longtime producer, Justin Wells, and a team have been embedded, with no publicity at all, with Donald Trump on the campaign trail for months They're the only crew capturing what is going on on the campaign, in real time, intimately.
They're with Trump as he campaigns for the presidency across the country, and they've shot some amazing footage.
It shows you what it's really like in there.
So if you're a member, you will soon be able to get this docu-series covering the historic campaign, the fall of Joe Biden, never-before-seen footage from the assassination attempt at the Butler Township, Pennsylvania Trump rally, and a lot more.
It's going to pull back the curtain completely.
They are embedded inside the campaign.
I can't wait to see it personally.
But to get it first, go to TuckerCarlson.com, become a member.
I think that's why they're trying to take your guns.
There's a video that came out of Kamala Harris today from some years ago in California.
She's standing right next to Gavin Newsom.
I use the word Gavin Newsom as if he's a human being.
That has not been verified.
Whatever the kind of, you know, AI bot who's the governor of California.
She's standing there and she said, you know, just because you have a gun legally, and I think I'm quoting, in the sanctity of your own home, doesn't mean we can't come in when we want to to check to see if you're using it the way we want you to.
So that, of course, is like a violation of the Bill of Rights.
That's the definition of tyranny.
And I've got to think they're so fixated on the gun question, not because they're against violence, they created violence in all of our cities, including your cities here in Texas, but because they don't trust the population.
You can think, if you're speaking to a normal person, like somebody who's not politically involved, kids, school, watch the game on Sunday, and you start talking like this, they might look at you crazy or think that you're a wingnut because when they look at Kamala Harris or Christopher Wray or Merrick Garland with his weird voice, why does he talk like that?
And they think to themselves, well, he doesn't look like Stalin.
He doesn't look like Mao.
I'm here to tell you something right now.
These people...
Are so sick.
That kids will be dead in a school, and without an ounce of shame, they will stand on the bodies of dead children before the shooter is even dead to take your guns, and it's not because they've shed a single tear for a dead child in this country.
It's because the dirty demons who want to hurt you lay awake at night dreaming about it, and they are so mad that they can't, because we are the most armed freaking people on the planet.
unidentified
We have the guns, we have the ammo, and that's why they matter.
Well, look, these commies are always trying, you see it with every Democrat who talks today, they're always trying to straddle this line, which is really Kamala Harris' specialty, given her beginning.
When you're an American Democrat now, this doesn't apply to older Democrats at all.
Like, this is not the 1960s.
If you're a Democrat today, a Democrat politician, you're a communist.
And you're trying to walk, you're constantly trying to straddle this line where you're trying not to freak out the older, you know, older Union Democrat guy.
Maybe he's a firefighter forever, fought for this country.
Doesn't really like Republicans, but loves America.
Right Fourth of July, he's out there, hand over his heart, land of the free.
He loves that.
You still need him to vote for you.
unidentified
But at the same time, you understand you've got a bunch of trash.
So I'm sitting listening to this, and literally my first thought was...
If Texas ever goes blue, you're going to jail, man.
You're on the list.
Well, he's definitely going to jail if Texas goes blue.
And it would be a shame.
It would be one of the great shames in American history because this is above all, in addition to being prosperous and beautiful, it's a really nice state.
It's just nice.
And when you come here, you really notice it if you come from other places.
Just the kindness that Texans show each other is amazing to watch.
And you'd hate that to be lost.
And it would be lost, I think, as it has been in the state that I grew up in, which is a state of people who are really suspicious of each other and mad at each other.
And I wouldn't want that for you at all.
I mean it.
So, do you think that this state is moving toward control of the Democratic Party?
What we have right now, we already talked about the people who run things, but what we have on the other side is what I like to call the low-T GOP. The Republicans, they're useless.
They don't stand up for you ever.
They always pretend like they're going to, and then they don't.
And, well, you're clapping, but you're not going to like this next part.
You know whose fault that is?
Our fault.
It's our fault, and I point fingers at myself, too.
You mentioned the state of Texas here.
This state should already, already right now, they should already be reorienting the state police, Texas Rangers, to stand as a bulwark between Texans and the federal government that is evil.
unidentified
They already should be doing that.
But instead, we have John freaking Cornyn as a senator.
We need, and the sad part is, this isn't going to be applicable to any one of the thousands of people who showed up to watch Tucker Carlson tonight, but we have a primary voter problem because the reddest states...
They are sending the most putrid losers to Washington, D.C. John Thune, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, what is that, James Lankford, Naked Ken Doll Lankford out of Oklahoma.
Are the most innocent and so that's why they went after them.
Whatever is good, whatever is right, that's what the devil goes after first.
And if you think your state of Texas is safe, it's the most unsafe because these people look at you and your family and your values and your guns and it's a reminder of everything they're not and it's a reminder of everything that can stop them.
So we're not safe, and we have to start getting more involved locally and in primaries.
It is a disgrace that John Cornyn is a senator from this state.
It's the purity, it's the desire to defile purity that drives them.
Anything that is beautiful, anything that is unsullied, anything that is sincere, they hate.
And I have to say, it's true.
You really notice it.
And you know it with art and architecture.
It's why they destroy nature.
You know, it's why they put up wind farms on the top of mountains.
You know, but Texas does seem, I'm just being totally honest, the single most left-wing, truly left-wing member of Congress I've ever met personally is a Republican from this area who has no interest in the United States whatsoever and does not even pretend.
I'm not going to name names.
Oh, I think that's right.
Yeah, it's Dan Crenshaw, the most liberal, most left-wing person I've ever met in the Congress.
This is not going to apply to the people in the room because you're the hyper-informed.
You don't understand how much more informed you are than your neighbor that you didn't invite tonight.
I really mean that.
Your brother, your mom.
Yes, they're Republican.
They're voting Republican.
They probably have a MAGA hat on.
Go Trump!
Ask them.
Ask them when the last time they voted in a school board election was.
Ask them if they even voted in a primary election.
We don't do it because we're in a safe, comfortable place.
And this happens everywhere.
It happens in Wyoming.
It's like the reddest state in the Union.
It's not unique to Texas.
If you're a scumbag communist and you want to get elected in a place like Wyoming, you can't run as a Democrat.
You can't run as a hard lefty.
You throw on some cowboy boots and you buy a shotgun and go out there and take a picture shooting at some pheasants and you learn how to speak the lingo a little bit, watch a little bit of Tucker Carlson.
Now you know what to say, how to deceive exactly, and you find yourself in a position of power kneecapping people on the right time after time after time.
Our controlled opposition problem is so bad, and that's why we always feel like we're playing tug-of-war with Whoopi Goldberg.
I think it ties directly to foreign policy, actually, Trump's foreign policy.
Because for the longest time, Democrats and Republicans, for most of my life, have really had pretty much the same foreign policy.
It's really a worship of the state.
It's what it's always been.
Ours has looked different than theirs, but we always trusted the FBI. I wanted to work for the FBI when I was a kid.
Oh my gosh, the FBI. I didn't know it was the Stasi, or at least it was turning that way.
I had no idea.
We had no idea about these things.
And Trump comes in, and like you mentioned, he's not some hardcore righty.
He's a fairly moderate guy when you look at his views, but he has a very different view on foreign policy.
And so when you think about foreign policy, think about, look, we can just make it about Ukraine.
It doesn't really matter what you think about that.
The amount of money, taxpayer money, it goes from the taxpayer, it goes...
The government writes gigantic checks of your money to the defense contractors.
The defense contractors get paid hugely to continue that war without end.
The defense contractors also take that very same money and hand it right back to the politician who stole it from you.
And now all this stuff seems to be working in a great cycle.
And now when you tie in the finance giants, who they've already promised big, fat, taxpayer-funded checks to rebuild, of course, when the whole thing's done, what you finally wake up and figure out is the evil demons who run the country look at all of us like just one big tax farm so they can stay in power, so they can have their steak dinners, so all this stuff can work out.
And that Bush-Cheney wing, they were the freaking worst about all that stuff.
They were awful about all that.
Trump challenging that, I will always believe Trump challenging that is the reason they're trying to murder him so bad, because that is the most money.
By the way, you served in the Marine Corps during that period.
You did the patriotic thing.
Now they hate you.
But it doesn't make any sense otherwise, because here you have Dick Cheney.
And Philip Zelikow, the guy who ran the 9-11 Commission, endorsing the administration that armed the Taliban.
So that doesn't make any sense.
If you were the leader of the war on terror, as Cheney was, or Philip Zelikow was, or Bob Zelik was, you hate the Taliban.
That's what you told us.
How could you possibly endorse the Biden-Harris administration?
Which just armed the Taliban.
It's not the best armed army in the region, thanks to the Biden-Harris administration, which you're now for.
So it actually wasn't about fighting a global war on terror, obviously.
It's about keeping your crimes hidden, and you're worried that if Trump gets elected, he might just be crazy enough to declassify the documents that show what you've been doing for the last 25 years.
So what's happening in this country right now is what's happened to almost every single country.
In the history of the world, where you get far enough away from your founding, the people who lead the country will lose a sense of duty to the country, and it just becomes about them.
Look, I could point to America's history, the Battle of Cuny, any historians here?
The Second Punic War, Hannibal, you've heard of him, he fights the Romans, he ends up wiping out a Roman army.
A fascinating story about the Roman army Hannibal wipes out in Italy is, he takes out a huge chunk of the Roman Senate.
I not only didn't see Liz Cheney with me, I didn't happen to see Mitt Romney or any one of his 57 kids.
And Mitt Romney to this day wants to invade every single place on the planet.
And again, I'm fine with differences on foreign policy.
But I know what it's like to sit there and watch some kid hug his dad on the tarmac and say, Daddy, don't go.
Daddy, don't go.
And to know that these scumbags in D.C. constantly send our guys, our men and women, to go do this without an ounce of duty to send themselves or their kids along makes me freaking sick.
Our leaders now, they're just a bunch of bank robbers looting the treasury instead of people who see themselves as what they should see themselves as the knights protecting Western civilization.
That's why they've sent the FBI after so many American citizens.
They've slowly turned their guns inward because now when these people wake up in the morning and when they go to sleep at night, They think the enemy is you.
They don't stress about China.
They don't stress about Russia.
They don't stress about terror.
They certainly don't stress about the newest rapist dirtball that they hauled into this country across the border.
They don't care about your cat that got eaten in Ohio.
They don't care about any of that stuff.
They wake up and they think about you, you with your rights, and you want your freedom of speech, and you probably love guns too, and you're probably going to hold them to account if they continue to take a steaming dump on the country.
That's why they flooded this country with illegals, and that's why they sent the FBI after school board mobs.
I did it on purpose because I feel so overwhelmed with sadness by everything that's happening to the country that we love and were born in and country our ancestors built over many years with great effort and determination and foresight, planting trees they would never see grow, you know, doing things that they would never benefit from and they knew they would never benefit from them, but they knew that their grandchildren would and they did them.
And that's the most virtuous kind of behavior, in my opinion.
So it's so sad to watch all this.
And so I wanted to start on a note of hope, which I think is real, actually.
They're afraid we're going to go to their little fiefdoms of power at the local library or congress or school board, wherever it is, and take their power away from them.
They're afraid of you speaking the way you want to speak on social media.
They're afraid of the fact that you're guns.
The demons are more afraid of you than you are of them.
The darkness is afraid of the light.
The light does not fear the darkness.
And they should be afraid.
I want to make sure I'm very crystal clear about that.
And you can clip it all day long, you commies, scumbags.
Come knock on my freaking door.
They should be afraid.
Because as I mentioned in the beginning, they are wrong.
They are evil.
What they want is awful for this country.
What you want is wonderful and good.
We want a country surrounded by family and community.
A country led by God and decent people.
We want to be led by people who are better than what we have now.
And if we stand up, and I see it happening everywhere, we can have that.
It is time to stop being afraid like you are and like I am, and it is time to start making them afraid.
Good guys don't get afraid.
They need to be ones who are afraid of us, and we can do that.

There's a new sheriff in town, ladies and gentlemen, Jesse Kelly.
