	And what may be one of the strangest stories we've encountered in a long time, a main Democrat Senate candidate is also uh he's he's both simultaneously a Nazi and a communist.
	It's a Simpsons joke, but apparently it's real.
	Graham Plattner's got a totenkopf tattooed on his chest.
	That is specifically the skull and crossbone symbol used by the SS in charge of administering the death camps in Nazi Germany.
	And you know what's really funny and probably unsurprising is that liberals are defending him.
	I kid you not, and it should be expected.
	Articles are coming out talking about why it's no big deal.
	Everyone's favorite progressive commentator Crystal Ball says, I'd rather have the guy with the tattoo than someone supporting a genocide.
	And then someone says, you know, um, are you uh familiar with what that symbol is meant to represent?
	Because this is absolutely crazy.
	Now, what's funny here is I think some of these people on the left who are just blindly supporting this guy, knowing full well he has a Nazi tattoo on his chest.
	Apparently, he's got he's gotten it removed, he didn't get removed before.
	What I find funny is the unifying factor in this guy being supported by the left, having a Nazi tattoo is that you don't like Israel.
	It goes to show, I'm fairly certain if you had a guy come out who claimed to be an overt Nazi, but he said the only thing he wants is to end Israel, they'd agree with him.
	And they'd say things like, we don't agree with everything he says, but he's right about Israel.
	But guys, I'm not here to have an Israel debate.
	I don't care.
	I'm here to have a, the left is a cult debate.
	Right now, Donald Trump is building a ballroom.
	Big beautiful ballroom at the at the White House East Wing.
	That's great, it's expanding the White House.
	It's very cool.
	The left is epoplectic.
	Liberals freaking out.
	Hillary Clinton losing her mind.
	Why?
	Well, you remember when they were tearing down all those statues?
	And I'm not talking about the Confederate ones.
	I'm talking about Jefferson and Columbus.
	They were tearing them down.
	They said, well, it's time for a change.
	They were racists and slave owners.
	Donald Trump is building a new ballroom.
	And once again, they're losing their minds.
	If something preserves American culture and tradition, they hate it.
	That's really what defines both of these phenomenon.
	So we'll talk about that.
	And then as far as it goes with the tattoos, remember when Pete Hegseth, they claimed it was a dog whistle because he had Christian tattoos.
	You got a Democrat with a literal totem cop on his chest.
	I also want to stress.
	Apparently he disparaged black people.
	And he also claims to be a communist.
	So whatever, I guess.
	Bernie endorsed him.
	We'll talk about that and a lot more before we do, my friends.
	We got a great sponsor for you today.
	Bear skin.
	Check out B-A-E-R.

	It's getting cold out right now.
	Uh for now.

	It looks awesome.
	Plus, it zips right into the heavy storm rain jacket to become 100% waterproof when you need it.
	So when it turns cold, wet or windy, you're not scrambling at the last minute.
	I also want to stress you can just wear the rain jacket, super light.
	Breathable.
	It's amazing.
	And it keeps you dry.
	And if it's cold out, you wear both.

	So you're not just buying great gear.
	You're backing cause that matters.
	Don't wait until it's too late.
	It's getting cold out already.
	I think it's what is it?
	It's like 50 degrees out right now.
	So it's hoodie weather, man.
	Check it out.
	But let's jump into that story.
	We got it from Fox News first.
	Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget to also smash that like button, share the show right now.
	If you're watching live, take that URL, post it wherever you can because unity is our strength.
	From Fox News, main Democratic Senate candidate insists he's not a secret Nazi.
	After controversial tattoo reveal, Grant Plattner said he received security clearance in the army after getting the tattoo.
	So here he is.
	Um I suppose I should probably just find the tweet where we show his uh tattoo.
	Is this it right here?
	Yeah, let's uh let's zoom in there a little bit.
	Graham Plattner, a far-left Democrat candidate running for U.S. Senate in Maine, has a Nazi tattoo on his chest.
	The skull and bones on his chest is called the Totenkopf, and it was used by Hitler's SS.
	I want to stress the image on his chest is not some random skull and crossbones, okay?
	Uh I think we have it right here.
	The this is this is literally the second version of the SS Totenkopf used from 1934 to 1945.
	Now, there is the initial from 1923 to 1934, and this was I believe it was uh it was Hitler's bodyguard unit, which eventually became the Schutzstaffel.
	They say uh it was the organization responsible for administering the Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps in Nazi Germany along with similar duties.
	Well, the Totenkopf was a universal cap badge of the SS.
	The SS TV also wore the insignia on the right collar tab.
	The Totenkopf was also used as the insignia of the Panzer Forces of the German army, and also the Panzer units of the Luftwaffe, including those of the elite Falschgrim Panzer Division 1 Hermann Goring, both the 3rd SS Panzer Division and the Waffen SS and the World War II era Luftwaffe 54 bomber wing.
	It's hard to read all this German guys.
	Kampfgeschwader 54 were given the unit name Totenkopf and use a strikingly similar-looking graphic skull and crossbones insignia.
	So here's a guy.
	Or is it oh, it's this one.
	Here's a guy.
	He's literally got it on his chest.
	It's funny because um what do we have?
	Do where's the uh I've got the uh story pulled up.
	There's so much stuff to go through.
	I wanted to pull up the uh.
	Oh, I don't know where I have this story.
	I thought it was here somewhere.
	It's about Pete Hegseth, and they're attacking him over his Christian nationalist tattoos.
	They say main Democrat Senate candidate and former main uh Marine Graham Platner denied he was a secret Nazi.
	Plattner's campaign shared a video with Pod Save America podcast that showed Platinum lip syncing to Miley Cyrus's wrecking ball at his brother's wedding about a decade ago.
	In the video, Plattner is shirtless and appears to have a skull tattoo on his chest that resembles a Totenkoff.
	It's literally the Totenkoff.
	I am not a secret Nazi, Platner said.
	Actually, if you read through my Reddit comments, I think you can pretty much figure out where I stand on Nazism and anti-Semitism and racism in general.
	The story is that uh, I guess he got drunk one day in Croatia and he was like, you know, that that's crossbows.
	You should put that at my chest.
	And then they did.
	Plattner said he got the tattoo in a Croatian parlor after getting very inebriated.
	Did he ever perhaps, I don't know, consider having it removed?
	Because there's several ways to remove it.
	You can cover it or laser removal.
	It's not expensive.
	At no point in this entire experience of my life did anybody ever want say, hey, you're a Nazi.
	It never came up until we got wind that in opposition research, somebody was shopping the idea I was a secret Nazi with a hidden Nazi tattoo.
	And I can honestly say that if I was trying to hide it, I've not been doing a very good job for the past 18 years.
	Plattner quickly faced backlash for the deal, including from uh the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
	This comes less than a week after he was caught advocating for political violence, saying that black people don't tip, calling police, which is a slur, calling maids lobster men pieces of ish, what's next.
	Oh my god, the willy the thing that the liberals are willing to defend.
	I just this is crazy.
	Although Platner suggested, did not think the symbol meant anything beyond a skull and crossbones.
	His former political director, Genevieve McDonald reportedly wrote on Facebook that he knows damn well what it means.
	This is seriously the dumbest timeline.
	Graham has an anti-Semitic tattoo on his chest.
	He's not an idiot, he's an he's a military buff.
	He's a military history buff.
	Maybe he didn't know it when he got it, but year years ago, but he and uh and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means.
	The vault is open for the GOP to effing crush any dreams we had in the general, and literally everyone I know is fighting with each other on social media.
	We cannot be this painfully stupid.
	Fox News reached out to Plattner's campaign for comment.
	He's attempting to take on Susan Collins of Maine recently, came under fire last week for Reddit posts from 2018, in which he wrote that all police are B-word, and he called himself a communist.
	In a separate post, he argued that if people expect to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle, they ought to do some reading of history.
	This is the craziest candidate.
	I'm just I don't even know what to say about this guy, to be honest.
	He's got a Nazi tattoo.
	I don't think anybody can have a tattoo that long and just literally not know it's a totenkoff.
	So apparently there's any he got rid of it.
	Main U.S. Senate candidate with apologizes for tattoo with Nazi links.
	Oh my god.
	These people are evil.
	Guys, I don't care if you have a Nazi tattoo.
	Okay, not my cup of tea, not a fan of it, and I probably wouldn't want to want to associate with you.
	Okay, seriously.
	If I had a friend who started getting Nazi tattoos, I'd have an intervention for him.
	And if he wants to go down that path, that ain't for me.
	People are allowed to have opinions, even bad ones, as long as they're not being violent towards other people, then that it is what it is.
	Now, the left is advocating for policies that are violent.
	If neo-Nazis come forward and say we want racial segregationist policies, I will I will argue and debate with them and shut them down to the best of my abilities, the same as any other ideology I do not like.
	But this guy, the New York Times.
	Nazi links.
	It's literally the Totenkov.
	It's it's it's identical.
	It is the same symbol, specific to the Nazis.
	This is not some Jolly Roger.
	There's a, if you if you if you look on the Wikipedia, there's a whole bunch of other different it's called the dead man's head.
	Some people call it a Jolly Rogers.
	See, 19th century 19th century Jolly Roger used by Barbary Corsairs.
	Crossed bones with a skull.
	This one, the one he's got.
	Nazis.
	And this is what the New York Times does because it is a cult.
	They don't care what's true.
	They are lying, manipulating, and there are people who genuinely fall for this stuff.
	It's pretty wild.
	You know, Michael Malice describes it as try explaining to somebody that the weatherman is lying to them.
	And they'd be like, What?
	Why?
	And that's what it is.
	They opened the New York Times and they say a tattoo with Nazi links.
	That doesn't sound so bad.
	The Nazi had a lot of tattoos, right?
	Yeah.
	Apparently he's saying he got rid of it.
	I don't know.
	Take a look at this.
	Well, he's taking a dive.
	How say it for him?
	He was a two to one favorite over Janet Mills to win the Democratic nominee for the Senate race.
	And uh then people found out he may be a Nazi and a communist both simultaneously, and he fell off.
	It's unfortunate.
	They're trying as hard as they can to defend him.
	Ladies and gentlemen, I give you everyone's favorite crystal ball.
	Yo, Crystal used to be great.
	And then she just like, she just completely fell off.
	She says, for me personally, I'll take the candidate with a regrettable tattoo over one who has steadfastly supported genocide.
	That's where we're at.
	Crystal ball, Nazi supporter.
	I don't know.
	The guy said he's not a Nazi, but come on.
	We're not playing this game.
	You didn't accidentally get a Nazi tattoo, dude.
	Okay.
	You could have removed it at any point.
	I guess he's a Nazi communist.
	Rate proposed community notes.
	Graham Platner's Nazi Totenkopf tattoo, aka the death said symbol, was used by the Nazi SS division responsible for running concentration camps during the Holocaust.
	Today, neonazis use a symbol to glorify that genocide.
	He reportedly bragged about the tattoo.
	Did they did they really?
	Uh Bukin, what are these?
	Let's pull up one of these links.
	He bragged about the tattoo.
	Reportedly, he called it my Totenkopf.
	Let's see what we have.
	It's probably the NRC uh was the NRSC.
	Uh I'm not a secret Nazi.
	Actually, if you read through my Reddit comments, I think you can pretty much figure out where I stand.
	But according to a person who socialized with Platner, when he was living in Washington, he had specifically specifically acknowledged tattoo was a Totenkopf adopted.
	He said, he said, oh, this is my Totenkopf.
	The former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
	He said it in a cutesy way.
	He's not an idiot.
	He's a military history buff.
	But wait, there's four.
	On Crystal Ball's tweet with 740,000 views, where she says she's going to support the guy with the Nazi tattoo over the person who steadfastly steadfastly supported genocide.
	I don't think she know what the symbol means, but sure.
	Here's uh O'Rayman Gija says revolution.
	Zay Jelani, I'm glad you're not falling for the Psyop.
	It's pretty obvious what's going on.
	It is.
	What's the psyop?
	The guy's got a Totenkov tattoo.
	That's it.
	They called Pete Heggs at the Nazi because he has Christian tattoos.
	That's it.
	They were Nazi symbols.
	This guy's got a literal Nazi tattoo, and they're saying he's not a Nazi.
	It is a psychotic death cult.
	Uh, let's see.
	Scarlet tweets.
	And for the record, if Republican got called out for it, they would probably double down and refuse to have it removed, removed in Crystal cancel culture.
	He could have had it removed a long time ago.
	And Pete Hegsath's Christian tattoos were accused of being Nazi tattoos.
	Clint says would rather have someone with a Nazi tattoo that is actually anti-Nazi than someone without a Nazi tattoo that is actually a Nazi.
	Let this be the greatest wake-up call, please.
	Clip this as much as you can.
	Share it with everybody.
	If you're a guy who supports like Jesus Christ, and you say you're not a Nazi, you're secretly a Nazi.
	If you're a guy with a literal Nazi tattoo on your chest, they'll say, yeah, but because he agrees with us, he's not a Nazi.
	Nazi doesn't mean what any of these people actually think it means.
	I hope you're sitting down.
	I need to tell you about who the tattoo is supporting.
	This is insane.
	What do you think that regrettable tattoo signifies?
	The regrettable tattoo supports genocide, but it was against Jews, so okay, I guess.
	The funny thing is about all of this is that Crystal Ball is basically criticizing Israel, and you're allowed to.
	And so she's willing to excuse a guy with a Totenkopf tattoo because he is also anti-Israel.
	I mean, that's like, yeah.
	Okay, man.
	Listen, I I I, you know, it's it's funny when the Israel stuff comes up because I'm like, I care as much about Israel as I do about Burma.
	China spends 400 some odd millions of dollars lobbying the United States.
	APAC is not good, but it's not as big as a Chinese lobby.
	All of these things, the U.S., I think America first.
	We should be focusing on American American interests.
	I like that Trump is going after criminal cartels.
	I don't want to be involved in Ukraine.
	But these people, man, they're willing to do some weird backward stuff over their hatred of Israel.
	I tell you what.
	We got a goose meme.
	Those are always fun.
	John Lebecki says, it's okay to be a Nazi with an S tattoo as long as you're part of the right party.
	Yep.
	Here's uh Elon Musk sending his heart, throwing it to the crowd.
	Certainly my response to Elon doing that was, oh, come on, bro.
	Kyle Kalinski says not subtle.
	She responds, supported a bunch of Nazi-ish and then did this.
	I'm sure it's not related.
	Oh man, Lord have mercy.
	Well, let's pull up our friends from Blue Sky.
	Uh we got this one from Blue Sky.
	Anyone who is saying to give Graham Plattner a chance, and that we shouldn't let the tattoo define him while not voting for Kamala due to letting Biden's president define her, thus not giving her a chance.
	I know exactly what you are.
	Someone said, I could buy the story of Graham Plattner getting a tattoo without doing your research and finding out its meaning later, especially with how normalized Nazi iconography still is in that corner of the world.
	The problem is that he still has the tattoo.
	The funny thing is about the blue sky stuff is they're actually criticizing him.
	These mainstream liberals are like, nah, he ate.
	Blue Sky is like, nah, he ain't.
	Wait, is Graham Platner, the U.S. politician with a Nazi tattoo?
	The same guy Hassan was trying to say was a cool communist when he literally worked for Blackwater.
	Graham Plattner sitting the Are We the Baddies meme and thinking, hey, look at that.
	The good guys have my tattoo on their hat.
	Indeed.
	John Levine has this really funny post from Slate.
	He says, LOL slate, nobody is confused.
	Are you confused about the oyster man turned democratic senate candidate with a Nazi tattoo?
	I'm here to help.
	Are you?
	Oh, here we go.
	I gotta play a little bit of this from Pod Save America.
	Dan Pfeiffer, he's gonna lay it down for us.
	Let me let me hear what you have to say.
	Today's show, I'll be discussing the latest from Maine Democratic Senate candidate Coran Platner, the state of the New York City mayoral race, and then answer your Discord questions.
	Joining me as always is Caroline Reston.
	Caroline, how are you?
	All right, so I'm gonna jump forward to him talking about uh Platner.
	After the post came out, and it really is a debate about two things.
	The future of the Democratic Party and the question of electability.
	Prior to the post coming out, the Senate Democratic leadership, Chuck Schumer, a lot of the people in the Democratic establishment believed that Janet Mills is the two-term governor of the state.
	She's won statewide multiple times, was the best candidate to run against Susan Collins, which is a very hard race to win.
	Others believe that Graham Platner, who is an outsider, a populist reformer, someone who could potentially appeal to some of the working class voters we lost, young men voters we've lost, would might be a better option.
	And the people who were I thought that Mills was not the best case.
	One of the arguments was that she's 77 now.
	She'll be 85 by the time she leaves the Senate at the end of her first term.
	She's already said she's only going to serve one term.
	Speak of race because they're running a 77-year-old establishment politician in this political environment.
	On the Mill side, the argument was that Graham Plattiner is untested and unvetted.
	And do we really want to send an untested, unvetted candidate up against Susan Collins in a race?
	We absolutely don't know how they will perform.
	I think like if we're being totally honest, the posts are pretty bad.
	Many of them are bad.
	Um he's attributed them to uh things he posted online in a dark period of his life.
	Um, you know, right after coming home from war.
	He was over.
	Yeah, just a dark period in his life.
	And I want to stress this this video came out three hours ago, and this is what he's talking about.
	He sort of, you know, says he got his shit together, doesn't believe these things anymore, is disavowed a lot of that, just disavowed them and apologized for them as he did in this interview and in a sort of a five-minute struck the camera video that his campaign released over the weekend.
	And so the question is, how much does this matter?
	I mean about the Nazi team.
	Which is everyone thinks they know that's the bigger point here.
	Is I think anyone who is so positive about what voters want in this environment, about what defines the most electable candidate, is really has been not paying attention to politics for the last few years.
	Like I think we all should have some real humility.
	Is an Alts is an outsider with a bunch of bad posts better than an insider who happens to be the second least popular governor in America, according to one poll.
	I don't know.
	I don't think anyone else does either.
	So my argument is it's like everyone should just chill the fuck out and let the let the voters in Maine decide, and we'll go from there.
	I think the D Okay Okay.
	All right.
	He had bad posts.
	You could talk about his tattoo, whatever.
	I mean, maybe he recorded it a while ago.
	Here's politico.
	Plattner says he'll remove the tattoo that resembles Nazi symbol.
	You've got uh Jerusalem post, Sanders backed Democrat who accuses Israel of genocide has Nazi Totenkopf tattoo.
	I want to stress this.
	Uh I'm not a fan of uh Nazis, neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.
	I agree with Donald Trump on that one.
	Um, I also wouldn't vote for a guy with that tattoo.
	Um Yeah, I I I wouldn't vote, I wouldn't, I wouldn't do it.
	I don't know why Democrats would.
	Well, I guess I do because they're in a cult.
	But uh, yeah.
	Steve Robinson says, I knew a guy who had some Latin King tattoos, two full sleeves, but he wanted to be a muckymuk in his union.
	So he had them lasered off.
	It's pretty simple and cheap these days.
	I'm curious if Plattiner ever priced out the $700 service and thought, nah, not worth it.
	Well, apparently he said it's my totenkoff, so pod save Plattner.
	Obama bros described Hegseth tattoos as dog whistle before helping Maine Platner fend off scrutiny for Nazi tattoo.
	Heavens me.
	Uh what do we got here?
	Um recruitment, are they just gonna go off and recruit you know, MAGA people?
	Are they gonna go off and recruit you know, white nationalists?
	And and I don't say this just because the guy's a tattoo, but that's kind of who they're you know, that's who they're kind of putting out the bat signal to.
	And it's a little alarming, you know, if to think about what that might look like in in four years if this guy does everything he says uh they're gonna do.
	And what does he mean by DEI?
	I mean, because Biden have tried to work on it now, it sounds like Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, we get it.
	Here's the video.
	Everyone's laughing and first of all, what we're watching there was Graham uh wearing just his uh box of briefs.
	Silkies, those are Marine Corps running shorts.
	Pardon me.
	Silkies.
	Uh first of all, great song Choice.
	Tell tell us what's happening there, where you are.
	There's probably some listeners who are very concerned.
	Okay, you know, what would you get the point?
	Are they gonna do this with anybody else?
	Would they do this for a conservative who called his uh his friends gay or retarded?
	No.
	They say they're all Nazis.
	So you get these group chats that go that come out, and it's a bunch of dumb young Republicans and you know, some political appointees and things like that.
	I think there's a few uh people elected to office in there, and they're saying untoward things that appears to be uh ironic, edgy jokes or otherwise.
	Everything is literal and absolute.
	100%.
	One of my favorite memes was like someone quoted the the story and said, Why would they call people gay and retarded?
	And the response was because they're my friends.
	Yep.
	And so you end up with this, this scenario.
	Democrats will do anything to defend the guy because he's basically trying to empower them, and so they'll excuse whatever.
	He's in the group.
	He can get he can do no wrong.
	Graham Plattner asked why black people don't tip and referenced rape in old Reddit posts.
	Uh-oh.
	So listen, I'm gonna say this.
	If somebody tries to run for office and they have a giant Nazi tattoo, I would say, uh how is it?
	I'm not gonna trust it.
	I'm sorry.
	Why would you still have the tattoo?
	Why wouldn't you get it removed?
	I have questions and concerns about what this person would do in office.
	For the people that are overtly and literally praising Hitler and believing all of that stuff, I wouldn't want to vote for those people either.
	If someone's being ironic or edgy or otherwise, then, you know, perhaps you can make some argument that people making jokes make jokes.
	He's also got a bunch of posts on Reddit.
	Let's take a look.
	In Reddit Post from 2013, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Plattner asked why black people don't tip and suggested people concerned about being raped shouldn't be inebriated around people they don't feel comfortable with.
	That's actually kind of an interesting point.
	Well, where are his actual posts?
	I'm gonna see his posts.
	Okay, uh, what did he say?
	I work, quote, I work as a bartender, and it always amazes me how solid this stereotype is.
	Every now and again, a black patron will leave a 15 to 20% tip, but usually it is between zero to five.
	There's got to be a reason behind it.
	What is it?
	I would like to ask all of you right now, what was wrong with that statement?
	He has made an observation as a bartender and provided a comment.
	His observation was typically black people will tip between zero and five percent.
	And he's wondering what the reason is.
	It is a well-known trope, may be true, maybe not, but he's certainly experienced it, that the black community does not dip.
	And the reason why I say that is because there are tons of black people who do, and we're talking about a generality.
	It's the meme where uh the the guy from Invincible says women are on average 5'4, and the wife responds, I'm 5'6, and then he sips his coffee because people people typically make the joke that feminists and many women can't understand averages.
	The point is, we get individuals are individuals.
	Why are they mad about it?
	He's just said, like, I was a bartender, this is what I found.
	And they're like, you can't say that because it's it's wrong think, indeed.
	Now, what about the assault?
	He said the same year he responded to a post about underwear designed to prevent uh sexual assault, and he said, people should take some responsibility, take some responsibility for themselves and not get so effed up.
	They wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to.
	Uh-huh.
	What's wrong with that?
	This is wild.
	Who is this guy?
	Uh, I will say this.
	For a guy who claims to be a communist with a Nazi tattoo, he is completely untrustworthy.
	He has made points that I think many people would find rational.
	That is, I'm not going to blame the victim of a rape.
	A woman walking down the street gets thrown to the ground and abused, or a young girl like we saw in Ireland.
	But there are many stories, for which I think he's referring, where a woman at a party gets inebriated.
	It's a question of whether, like, we don't actually know how it went down.
	There's no real proof of anything.
	After the fact she says, you know what, I didn't want to do it, and so the guy goes to jail.
	Right.
	Those issues, like that famous poster where it said, Jill and John were drunk.
	Jill couldn't consent, and John raped her.
	And it's like, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	They were both drunk.
	Like they are two adults with agency.
	This is what Democrats are mad at him about, and not the Nazi tattoo.
	Okay, to be fair, some leftists are calling him out for the Nazi tattoo.
	I'll give them that.
	This is the state of the cult of the left in the Democratic Party.
	Here's CNN.
	Historic preservation group urges pause on East Wing demolition as Trump pushes ahead with his ballroom.
	Well, I like this one.
	Vince Cogliani says, Are you angry about Trump's new White House renovations?
	Join the left's historic preservation society.
	And here's them setting fires, tearing down statues, flipping vehicles.
	Well, CNN says, historic preservation group, uh just polls on Eastwing demolition.
	Statues, statue removals show how change is coming even in the capital of the Confederacy.
	Oh, no, I I understand being angry about the Confederacy, but they were tearing down, as I mentioned, Thomas Jefferson, CNN.
	Historians, defending history is complicated in the U.S. It is.
	It's time to go beyond destroying statues to building new ones.
	Indeed.
	Well, they tore down a statue of Frederick Douglass and Hans Christian Hegg.
	Frederick Douglass was a former slave who fought against slavery.
	Hans Christian Haig joined the Union to fight against slavery, specifically over slavery, and died.
	And he is considered a hero in the Civil War.
	They tore all those statues down.
	They celebrated it.
	It's psychotic hypocrisy.
	Well, we'll see who wins next year, my friends.
	Now I'm going to be joined in just a moment.
	I believe we have, uh let me just make sure we have everything lined up.
	Laura Trump will be joining me to have a general conversation about the goings-on in all of these matters.
	And I got a lot to ask because uh and things are getting pretty dark.
	So smash that like button, share the show right now with everyone you know.
	Follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.
	That interview is going to be up at 4 p.m.
	Rumble.com slash the culture war.
	And you can also find it at YouTube.com slash Timcast.
	Thanks for hanging out, and we will see you all.
	Uh, we'll see you all then.
	For everybody else, we got the story from Breitbart.
	Claim Portland police shield Antifa rioters as they shine spotlights in DHS agents' eyes.
	You may have seen the story.
	We covered it last night.
	When Antifa was using a high lumen flashlight on DHS to blind them and obstruct their ability to monitor the area.
	DHS tried marking the individual with pepper balls.
	They hid behind a street sign.
	Then they ran behind a police line.
	When DHS came down to apprehend the individual, the police said, What do you want us to do about it?
	We don't know what's going on, which is a lie.
	Portland police provided cover for the Antifa terrorist who then freely escaped.
	We've now got lines forming, factions forming.
	Look, I don't think it's the end of the world.
	I don't think the U.S. will cease to exist even through the civil war.
	The US still exists.
	But I'm curious where things like this go.
	With the previous political segment I've been talking about with Democrats willing to defend again with a Nazi tattoo and claims to be a communist.
	It seems like the left is literally just a cult.
	I don't want to call it a religion.
	It's not a religion.
	They don't have any kind of deity.
	It is a non-theistic religion, I suppose they have high priests, but that just means it's more of a cult.
	Well, we're gonna bring in Laura Trump to talk about all of uh all of this and what's going on.
	Let's uh boot up the system.
	We are currently loading it up.
	It looks to be good.
	And let's roll.
	Should be up any minute.
	Hey, Laura, how's it going?
	Hello, it's going well.
	How are you?
	I'm going, uh I'm going pretty well.
	Thanks for joining me.
	Do you want to just uh quick give a quick introduction for yourself?
	I don't think you need the introduction, but well, I mean, I got a lot of titles.
	Um, I'm Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, wife to Eric Trump.
	I currently have a Saturday night show on Fox News.
	I have my podcast, The Right View, as you can see right here.
	I'm the former co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
	Um, I could keep going on and on, but I think that'll suffice for right now.
	Well, there's a lot I want to talk to you about, especially with this Graham Plattner story and his totem cop tattoo, but I do want to start with something that seems kind of shocking.
	And uh it's from a couple nights ago, Nick Sorter documenting the ongoing disturbances in the Portland uh riots, although there's not as many people as you see on the weekends.
	But an interesting thing happened.
	I don't know if you saw the story.
	There was an Antifa person flashing a uh a high lumen flashlight at DHS to obstruct their vision of what's going on on the ground.
	DHS attempted to mark the individual with pepper balls for later arrest.
	The Antifa individual then ran behind Portland police who protected her from arrest.
	DHS came down, and Portland police feigned ignorance, saying they didn't know what was going on or why the person was running.
	Ultimately, this person left.
	So now you've got these stories popping up.
	There's serious concern about when Portland police arrested conservatives who are the victims of violent crime, and now even protecting Antifa from getting arrested.
	Harmie Dillon said it's it's time to send in the National Guard.
	I'm not sure if you saw the story, but I'm curious your thoughts on this and the general phenomenon with Antifa and the far left.
	Well, I'm so glad that Antifa is designated as a domestic terrorist organization because that's exactly what these people are, and that's what their goals are.
	They're there to terrorize people.
	They're there to obstruct the general flow of life and the way of things.
	They would love if they could to thwart the will of the people.
	And by that I mean we know they're out there every day pushing back against ICE agents and trying to get in their way of actually actually executing the law as it's written on the books here in the United States of America.
	We want to get criminal illegal aliens out of our country.
	And that's exactly what the ICE agents are doing.
	And now you've seen time and time again how these people within Antifa have used really destructive tactics to execute whatever it is they want to achieve.
	And we've seen it with the BLM riots, or also known as the Summer of Love Riots.
	We've seen it time and time again across this country, and finally we have a president who said enough is enough.
	And an attorney general who said enough is enough.
	We have to start taking these people at face value, and their face value is a domestic terrorist organization.
	So I, for one, am very happy to see that happen because I think you continue to allow people, Tim, to behave in this crazy way, and you only encourage that sort of behavior.
	This is just basic of human nature.
	Um, so that's number one.
	Number two, I think it's really outrageous that you have, you know, people who have been Elected into positions of power, mayors of cities, governors of states who are not willing to protect their citizens who are not willing to work with the federal government, who again is trying to execute the law and trying to encourage safety and security in our country.
	Um, you've seen it, whether we're talking about, you know, Chicago, uh, Brandon Johnson, JB Pritzker, or whether we're now looking at Portland, I assume that the Portland police are getting being given orders from a higher up and they're saying, you know, don't arrest these people or protect them against federal law enforcement.
	It's insane.
	And this is not how this country is supposed to operate.
	You know, I was just in Memphis, Tennessee last week, and I got to do a ride-along with the Memphis Safe Task Force.
	This is 30 plus law enforcement agencies, some federal, some state and local, who have now come together to make Memphis safe again.
	They had the highest violent crime rate in the entire country.
	They've seen that decrease dramatically, over 800 arrests.
	We're talking about gang members off the streets, illicit drugs off the street, over 40 children recovered and who are missing children return to their families.
	That's what this president wants to do.
	So to see these people out there pushing back against it and getting in the weight of this good work happening, I think is outrageous.
	And I think that the people of these communities are grateful whenever you see President Trump show up, whenever you see the, you know, federal law enforcement show up, National Guard troops show up.
	Look at Washington, DC.
	That's what people want to see happen.
	You talk to the people in those communities, Tim, they're grateful when it happens.
	And it's a shame that there are these lunatics out there who are absolutely domestic terrorists who are trying to stand in the way.
	You are correct, too.
	I mean, I I'm I live in the DC Metro.
	We're like an hour and a half outside of DC.
	So we go there relatively often, and it's been great.
	It's been it's great.
	I have people telling me that they feel safe.
	I'm also You can feel the difference.
	You can really feel the difference when you walk around in Washington, D.C., no doubt.
	I'm from Chicago as well.
	And my friends, I left, crime being one of the reasons.
	My friends are like, it's great.
	I these these narratives are insane.
	But here's the thing: you mentioned these lunatics trying to stop this.
	What about these judges?
	Federal federal judges who are telling the president he can't use the National Guard.
	So let's let's bring this together.
	Portland police arrest Nick Sorter and a hand, a couple other conservatives after they got attacked by Antifa.
	And it was only because the federal government publicly made statements and and sought to intervene, Nick Sorter went free without charges, even though he was the victim.
	When Trump then says, or when Mr. President says, I'm going to bring in the National Guard because local law enforcement isn't doing their jobs for whatever reason, the judges say no and stop him.
	So Antifa on the ground and the judges in government obstructing what the people actually want to see.
	And this is just the next phase of law fair, right?
	And we saw this happen to Donald Trump over the course of the past two years.
	We all remember what was happening, you know, a little over a year ago, Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Jack Smith, Fannie Willis, all of that nonsense.
	This is the next phase of it.
	And now it's not just targeting Donald Trump, it's targeting every person in this country.
	Because when you have these judges who are picking and choosing how they're going to operate and they're basing it on politics, man, is that a dangerous place to be.
	It's why installing these judges is so important.
	I'll tell you what, Dan Scavino right now just took over as director of PPO, presidential personnel.
	He's going to be one of those people who's going to ensure that we have great judges all across this country.
	But it's it's totally insane that this is happening.
	And it's to the detriment of the entire country.
	So you see how dangerous this can become.
	This isn't just about your elected official at the very top as president, or even people in the United States Congress, these judges matter.
	You know, your local school board matters, all of it matters because ultimately these people are determining what happens in our communities.
	I'll tell you what kind of scares me.
	There's this ruling from the judge in Illinois, that is a federal judge saying that the president can federalize the National Guard but cannot deploy them, which is paradoxical.
	How can the president assume command, but then not simply instruct them to walk somewhere?
	This was not the president saying we're gonna go and arrest people and issue citations.
	This is what's called the protective principle of I can deploy National Guard wherever I want.
	They just can't enforce law under Posikamatis.
	How could a judge say yes to half and not the other?
	What scares me about this is these judges are engaging in just overt unconstitutional edict with these rulings.
	That's why they keep getting overturned.
	The president, I believe, trying to keep things at a lower temperature is saying, okay, when the judge does.
	I can respect it because as much as these liberals are saying, why won't the president turn the temperature down?
	I'm like, I'm pretty sure if a judge issues an unconstitutional order, the president could just say that that doesn't apply.
	I can do what I'm allowed to do.
	But instead, he's playing nice and holding back a little bit.
	But I'm concerned that if that is the only way we play this game, these judges, these far left liberal uh politicians are gonna continually violate the law in the constitution.
	And unless we get gritty and say, we're done listening to you guys violate the constitution, they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna keep protecting illegal immigrants, they're gonna entrench the this worldview, this moral structure.
	I feel like we got to go to a point where the president's just gonna say, listen, you have no authority to issue that ruling.
	Yeah, and he may get there.
	I mean, look, we know that this is a president who is scared of absolutely nothing.
	Uh, if he could survive the past 10 years of his life, quite frankly, um, you know, on every possible metric.
	Um, this is a guy who's not afraid of anything.
	He wasn't afraid to go and deal directly with Hamas and say, hey, enough is enough.
	We're gonna end this war, you're gonna send back the hostages.
	He's not afraid of any of these people, but I think you're right.
	I think he's trying to take a bit more of a diplomatic approach to this and say, okay, let's not get crazy just yet.
	But if need be, you're right.
	He he should have the authority to say, I don't need to deal directly with these people.
	And if you're you guys are not actually following the law and the constitution, then maybe we need to look at another path.
	Um, but it's really shocking because this just opens the door to to allow people to do things that I think are really, to your point, really scary and really terrifying.
	I mean, look at uh Charlie Kirk's assassination.
	Because these people are allowing violence to reign and allowing a space for any of this kind of hysteria and nonsense, it only accelerates that kind of behavior.
	And and I do agree with you.
	I think it's really scary.
	I think the president is taking a measured approach.
	And look, if need be, I think there may be another path for him.
	We'll see.
	I guess the point that I'm trying to make is there's a challenge in that every time these conflicts they've been escalating nonstop.
	It seems that the right is always saying, let's let's stay calm and move slowly and strategically.
	What ends up happening is we consistently see from these judges with with the with the uh, what was it called, the the universal injunctions, which were struck down.
	You can't do this.
	They they were doing things that they do not have the authority to do.
	So you can put it simply as just ignore the politics of the matter and say there's two people.
	One keeps breaking the law, and the other is saying we have to be careful about how we approach the person breaking the law.
	The left thinks they're justified in unconstitutional edict order.
	It's it's pretty wild.
	I was talking to Tom Homan the other day.
	ICE is enforcing the law Congress codified.
	They're going on arresting people because Congress passed these laws decades ago.
	Democrats in California, Oregon, Chicago, publicly defying the will of the of the voter in this country.
	It is shocking that we've come to this point.
	It really is, but I think this is what happens when you really have no other argument, right?
	What what else are these people gonna do?
	I keep saying that about this no kings nonsense, these crazy protests across the country.
	Look, the the people on the left, and and I by the way, that that group is being whittled down every single day because I think so many Americans look at some of this stuff and they're like, this stuff is nuts.
	This stuff is crazy.
	This is not anything that we can actually vibe with.
	I don't understand what you guys are doing.
	Um, I think they've run out of every possible argument.
	How are you arguing with securing our border and keeping Americans safe?
	How are you arguing with gas prices being down below $3 a gallon for the first time in four years?
	How are you arguing against world peace, which this president is actually making a reality?
	They don't really have any argument for this stuff.
	So this is their only outlet.
	I will say this.
	I I agree with you that traditionally conservatives are very kind of meek and and say, well, we're gonna be the nice guys here.
	Donald Trump kind of changed the game on that in a big way.
	And and I will say this current Republican Party, this Congress that I see right now, the Republicans who comprise it are now a bit of a different breed.
	And I think people learned a lot from Donald Trump.
	They learned backbone, they learn how to fight, they learn how to stand up and stand strong and never give up and never give in.
	And you look at the shutdown right now, and and I'll say they haven't been playing the game.
	The Democrats thought they would play.
	And so there is some hope, I think, and I think we're learning as a party a little bit of a different tactic and different technique.
	And I give a lot of credit to my father-in-law for that.
	You know what's funny is asking like how we get to this point, what is the morality behind these people?
	They're always complaining about whatever it is.
	You know, it's the ballroom now.
	How dare, how dare the president expand the White House and do a construction project?
	But but take a look.
	You see, have you seen the story about the main Democratic candidate, Graham Platner, who has the literal the the progressive candidate in Maine, backed by Bernie Sanders and many of these progressives, has the actual SS symbol, the totem kopf on his chest.
	It is a specific image.
	It's a skull and crossbones, but it's not any old skull and crossbones.
	It's a it's a literal and overt symbol of the SS, the the the uh um show I I forgot the the actual we call it's SS.
	I'm not a historian.
	The Nazis who oversaw the death camps, he has that tattoo on his chest.
	Yep.
	Democrats are running full speed to say, oh, well, you know, he was young and dumb and drunk and didn't know what it was when he got it.
	And they're defending it.
	I think that just shows the only thing they have in their uh in their political sphere is as long as you're anti-Trump, we're okay with you, even if you have a Nazi tattoo on your chest.
	This guy says he's not a Nazi there, it's fine.
	We don't care.
	Pete Heggseth has Christian symbols and they call him a Nazi.
	Remember the white nationalist symbol that he had?
	You mean a cross on his the cross tattoo?
	Yeah.
	That's how these people operate.
	It's amazing that the same people who were trying to call out Pete Heggs at him are not outraged over this skull.
	You're right.
	This is a very specific skull and crossbones.
	And actually, I wanted to make sure I looked it up and compared it side by side to the SS uh version that you're talking about.
	I don't think you mix those up by accident.
	And by the way, if you did, wouldn't you at this point, as one of his staffers, one of this guy's um staffers even acknowledged, wouldn't you have already covered that up by now?
	I I don't get it.
	It's crazy.
	But maybe even more frightening than the tattoo and the fact that I mean, a lot of the Democrat Party seems to be very anti-Semitic in general.
	So maybe this should shock no one, are really the the policies and the platforms and the things this guy has said, um, advocating for political violence.
	He said black people don't tip.
	I don't know about that.
	All cops are bastards.
	He held hell has held these communist views for a long time and identified as a communist, believes in climate change, wants to stop all the deportations.
	That is also scary stuff.
	So for a whole host of reasons, I hope people in Maine pay attention to who this guy really is, and the voters will ultimately weigh in on this.
	But yeah, of course it's outrageous.
	And of course, it's the hypocrisy is staggering when it comes to the same people calling out the white nationalists, oh, also known as a cross tattoo on Pete Hexeth, they don't have much to say about this.
	Yeah, if you're it's it's funny because I think it shows that the word Nazi to these people doesn't actually mean Nazi, just means like enemy.
	Because when the guy is the actual Nazi tattoo, they're like, well, you know, but he's on our side, so we're not a big deal.
	We'll just let it slide.
	We'll let this one slide.
	Have you been following the Pentagon press news around like all the media walking out?
	Have you seen you you've seen this, I imagine?
	Yeah.
	So I'm trying to understand what the issue is, and I can't seem to figure it out.
	So uh the Pentagon says, hey, look, here there's certain areas where you're allowed to freely roam about.
	You have your offices, you can do you know, interviews, like there's some restrictions, but the media is acting like the the Pentagon has just ended journalism and free speech in this country.
	So uh I read the memo.
	I had tweeted about this.
	I I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about like everything I was reading in it, and this may be preliminary, I suppose, but I suppose I'll just talk about it while we're here.
	But I signed it.
	And uh we were talking with uh several of the journalists, scratching our heads as to what the heck the media is complaining about.
	I I don't know if you've had a chance to see it or the story From uh these journalists, how they all staged this walkout, refusing to sign a simple like press pass acknowledgement from the Pentagon.
	Well, it's it first of all, here's what I'll say.
	As it relates to this administration, you have never had a more transparent administration in in my lifetime for sure.
	It when it comes to uh presidential administrations.
	You see Caroline Levitt, you see Donald Trump.
	My God, yesterday, I think my father-in-law was in front of cameras engaging with the press for multiple hours.
	I saw him in like the 12 o'clock hour, then in the four o'clock hour.
	And likewise, with all of his cabinet secretaries, they are very open and they are very engaged with the press.
	We have nothing to hide.
	We want to give information to the American people from the perspective of this president, right?
	When it comes to national security, when it comes to the Pentagon, uh, it is well within the right of Pete Hegset to say, hey, you know what?
	Maybe you guys weren't supposed to get all of this access.
	We're gonna give you everything you need.
	And I also like something else that the White House has been a leader in, which is bringing in kind of alternative media outlets.
	We have never seen a White House do that.
	They have a space for podcasters, for people who are independent journalists, Tim, which I think is so refreshing to see.
	Because that's, I mean, look, look at your show.
	People are finally uh done with the mainstream media, and they're like, we don't trust you anymore anyway.
	So I imagine that going forward, a lot of those people will probably be given a lot of access to uh to the Pentagon.
	And you know what, for the people who aren't willing to abide by the rules, uh, maybe they didn't need to be there in the first place.
	Yeah, I believe there's supposed to be some like announcement about the news organizations that have agreed to these terms or whatever.
	So I'll I'll give people the gist.
	Um, I get sent the memo and they say, let us know if you, you know, we we had been talking about interviewing people at the Pentagon.
	We've never been there.
	I've never interviewed people there before.
	And so, hey, what do we have to do to get this interviews over these issues?
	I mean, the the the missile strikes, the drone strikes and in the uh of the of the drug cartels and things like that.
	There's controversy around this as arguments from liberals.
	And they said, okay, we'll come to an interview.
	Here's how press works.
	The New York Times and several others, I think, made the argument that the agreement states you will not, it's it's it's like you can't publish classified materials or something and you can't solicit it.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure I I I could be wrong, and I mean this sincerely, but I'm fairly certain it is a crime to solicit classified information from a from an individual.
	This is this is under under the Obama administration, they charged people he did with espionage.
	Journalists can't go to a person and say, give me classified intel.
	That's that's illegal.
	What they are allowed to do is if a if a person says I'm whistleblowing or leaking this, journalists are protected if they receive it unsolicited.
	But you can't go to someone and say, break the law so I can have a story.
	So I'm confused.
	I I read through this thing.
	It's like a lot of parking.
	It's like when you agree to the press pass, here's the areas where you can park.
	I'm like, what is this?
	Is this I feel like that the press has been called out.
	They've been not necessarily even cut off.
	I feel like the president has been one of the more transparent administrations giving access to tons of different outlets, letting letting people come in and ask him questions whenever you want.
	And when when he when they act untoward, he just responds back with, well, well, you're fake news, still not something you'd see from other administrations.
	I feel like, you know, you you mentioned the mainstream media is now sort of being pushed aside, people are waking up, but we're becoming the mainstream media.
	Your show, my show.
	That's right.
	The legacy press stormed out of the Pentagon furious because they wanted to be treated like kings, and no one is obligated to treat them that way.
	That's right.
	And I think that if there's one thing people have to give Donald Trump credit for, he's the one who kind of started that push, right?
	If you go back to 2015, the day he came down the golden escalator and Trump Tower, people kind of all were just asleep at the wheel and they were like, Yeah, we'll we'll get our news from the New York Times.
	Yeah, we'll tune into ABC News.
	No one really had in their mind that coming out of Donald Trump running for president would come the term fake news.
	And then he started to expose who these people are and why they're fake news.
	Look at the Leslie Stahl interview back during his first term as president.
	Whenever he talks about his campaign being spied on, and she goes, Oh, Mr. President, we're 60 minutes.
	We can't publish something that we can't back up.
	And he's like, Leslie, this is the truth.
	Then of course you get Tulsi Gabbard in there as our DI, and now we have all the evidence of all of that stuff happening.
	The whole point to this is Donald Trump exposed the legacy media for the fake news that they truly are.
	And man was it time because people didn't realize how manipulated they had been in this country by these people.
	Now that they're awake, now that they see it, they are seeking alternative outlets.
	And thank God for that.
	That is a great thing for our country.
	We want people to just get the information, Tim, and let them make the decisions.
	We don't need to put any kind of spin on it.
	Give it to them out there.
	The American people are smart, they'll make the right decision.
	We had on uh comedian Graham uh Graham Linehan, I'm not sure if you're familiar with him, but he's uh famous in the UK for several sitcoms that he had written.
	And he was a liberal guy.
	He was he was a, you know, I don't I don't say far leftist, but entrenched liberal worldview, where he was part of the cancel culture, the pylons.
	There was this incident in uh uh in Scotland with a guy that we call Count Dankula on social media.
	He had made a joke video of a of his pug doing the Hitler salute as a joke.
	And it was just a YouTube video that he made on his phone or whatever.
	Graham Linehan had very similar jokes in his sitcoms.
	So I asked him, you know, that this the sitcom joke that we had talked about on your show is very similar to this guy, Count Dankle.
	He got arrested for that pug joke.
	Oh my God.
	And this is this this is this is a while ago now, but this is an interesting uh backstory.
	I asked Graham, you know, about this, and he mentioned that he actually piled on the attacks against Count Dankula.
	Again, that's just the guy's name on social media, because he genuinely believed this was a white supremacist who was who was racist and hated people and was mocking them with this dog.
	But he wasn't.
	Count Dangula, he's a funny guy, he's a comedian, he's not racist, he's fairly liberal, probably.
	And Graham said only later did he realize he was wrong when he piled on and attacked this this this young man.
	And I said, When did you realize?
	How did you come to realize that you were wrong about this?
	And he said, at some point I realized every journalist was lying to me.
	We all started busting out laughing because it's it's funny, isn't it?
	Every single journalist in the corporate media and the press march in lockstep with the lies and keep people deceived as to what they're actually supporting and what they're doing.
	And now, it's funny we're talking about this Graham Platner guy.
	The New York Times headline on the story says he has tattooed a tattoo with a Nazi link.
	It's quite literally the Nazi tattoo of the Nazi brigade.
	Tim, imagine I had that tattoo.
	Imagine that.
	Can you can you even for a second the kind of things these people would say about me?
	But that's it.
	They sugarcoat everything, they just soften it up a little bit when it's someone from their side, because we know they're the marketing arm for the the Democrat Party, the legacy media.
	No, there's no doubt about it.
	Um, but but I love to hear stories like the one you just told, because I hear every day, I travel constantly for for work.
	I'm in in airports and on airplanes all the time.
	I'm at a lot of different events, and I can't tell you it's it's almost daily.
	People come up to me and they say, you know what?
	I was a Democrat.
	I I was a far left, you know, voter for so long.
	And then, and they always have a then.
	There's always this one moment, one thing that triggered them to start to look closely.
	And when the one thing happens and they realize how how wrong all of it's been, then it's like a deluge of things that they are like, wait a minute, all of this information has been been uh wrong.
	A lot of it happened during COVID to a lot of people.
	A lot of it happened last year when Donald Trump was indicted for the most ridiculous things.
	A lot of it happened after his assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	But for so many people, there's that one moment, and it's I'm so happy that people are there and people are seeing it.
	And it takes a lot.
	Whenever you've believed one version of things for so long, it takes a lot to bring yourself to say, you know what?
	I may have been wrong.
	I may have been lied to, but kudos to those people who have that ability to see it and say it and then come out and talk about it.
	I think that's great.
	What's what was really fascinating, which this actually shocked me earlier in the year, we had on this uh this woman on Tim Cast IRL.
	She's a liberal journalist in Brooklyn.
	But she left corporate media, and I think she's starting to now see through the manipulations, but she did not know, and this is again a few months ago about the very fine people hoax.
	Oh, gosh.
	She legitimately still believed that the president had defended Nazis and we had to show her the video and she was like, wait, Trump never said that.
	And it's it's it's crazy.
	It's it's seven or eight years later, and there are still people who don't know they were lied to about this.
	Tim, people still believe that Russia influenced the 2016 election.
	Like, are we kidding ourselves right now?
	That very fine people hoax, that's one of the ones that really gets me.
	That and the Russia collusion nonsense.
	I mean, this is my family.
	This has been our life.
	You know, my husband just released a book called Under Siege.
	Last Tuesday, it officially launched.
	And I hope everyone reads it because you'll really start to appreciate what the last 10 years has been like for our family.
	But I went on the Breakfast Club last year during the campaign, and I had to inform the hosts of the Breakfast Club of exactly what Donald Trump said in that Charlottesville hoax.
	He said there are very fine people on both sides, meaning the people who wanted to protect history and the people who were against the statues and thought they should come down.
	And that's all you heard from the liberal media.
	And except they should have let it play for another 20 seconds because he goes, except for the neo-Nazis and white nationalists who should be condemned totally.
	You never heard that out there.
	So thank you for playing that for her.
	But the same with the Russia-Russia-Russia crap.
	People, it's in textbooks.
	It's in textbooks in our schools out in the United States of America.
	Donald Trump won the 2016 election because of Russian collusion.
	Are you serious?
	I, you know, one thing I love to say, uh, and with all due respect, I've never met Eric, but I have uh we've had uh Don Jr. on several times, he's called in as well.
	And uh I I try to be careful.
	I try this with say this with respect.
	He's a regular guy.
	Um what I mean is if if you were walking down the street and you bumped into uh Donald Trump Jr. and you didn't know who he was, you might assume that he's just like a uh uh a broker at a firm of some type or just you'd probably think that he was going out fishing, to be quite honest.
	But based on what Don usually wears.
	Exactly.
	And the media paints him as this like Machiavellian evil white supremacist.
	And I'm just like, people, if you bumped into this guy, you'd be like, wait, you're the you're the son of a billionaire who's the president.
	I I wouldn't have seen that.
	It's just like you mentioned, going fishing, regular guy.
	The the media paints this such weird picture.
	And and I'll say this too about uh uh about President Trump meeting him at Mar-a-Lago, very calm.
	Uh I'll I'll say it like this because we're a little bit of time.
	I was talking with Michael Malice and he asked me what's something that that people would be surprised to learn about the president.
	And I was like, he's very calm.
	And uh he's like, wait, really?
	And I'm like, the clips the media gives you are the are the highlight reel of those moments when he's when he's more energized or frustrated.
	But when you actually see him walking around, he's very polite, very calm, handshake, voice is very tempered.
	But the media wants to paint this picture of an angry, shrill, constantly screaming guy so they can create a negative image among the general public.
	But I think I think we are winning.
	So I'll just, you know, if you if you you want to throw out any final thoughts on this matter before we wrap up.
	Well, all I'll say is um one of the things that struck me about my father-in-law is uh it does didn't matter what the situation since I've known him.
	I've known Donald Trump for almost 18 years now.
	And man, we had some tough times, you know, and when 34 felony counts were all guilty.
	Fake felonies when, you know, Letitia James issues almost a half a billion dollars in money that has to be acquired in like 72 hours from Donald Trump and the Trump organization when he has a mugshot that was highly unnecessary because every person in the world knows what Donald Trump looks like.
	All of these, yeah, it's crazy.
	All of these moments when the rest of us in the family were like, oh my God, like how were how do we get through this?
	You would talk to my father-in-law, we would call him, or he would call us.
	He called me right after that mug shot, and I was like, How are you doing?
	He's like, honey, these people are nuts, but you know what?
	I don't know how we're gonna win.
	He never let it get to him.
	And it's like those moments when you're on an airplane and there's some turbulence and people start to get nervous.
	You look at the flight attendants, and if the flight attendants are calm, you're kind of like, all right, well, I think we're gonna be okay.
	He was like our flight attendant for our whole family for so long.
	And I gotta tell you, um, he's an incredible human being.
	I hope more people come to realize What a great man he is.
	He didn't need this job.
	I still will say Tim, he will go down as uh the president with the highest approval rating of any modern president once he leaves office.
	I really believe that.
	And I think you're starting to see it all change right now before our eyes.
	So I couldn't be prouder to be his daughter-in-law.
	I'm a fan.
	Well, I appreciate you coming on and having conversation.
	Where can people find you?
	Yeah, you got it.
	Laura at Laura Lee Trump on all social media.
	Um, and I I constantly trying to bring information to people, make you smile.
	You might see dogs, you might see kids.
	You never know what you can find on my feed.
	So I got it all.
	Right on.
	Thanks for hanging out.
	It's been a blast.
	Uh we'll have you on the show.
	Sometime soon.
	See you next time.
	Thanks so much.
	Take care.
	That of course was the great Lara Trump.
	And uh I thought I thought it'd be interesting.
	I you know, you know, I feel like a lot of these subjects are we all kind of have these similar thoughts on them.
	But when you're talking about well connected, you know, Lara Trump, daughter-in-law to the president of the United States.
	It's interesting to hear how she feels about what's going on and that kind of inside baseball on what Trump was feeling and how he's explaining things when uh they indicted him.
	Fake felony charges.
	I love that.
	No one you could go to like a small African village and show a picture of Trump and they'll be like, Donald Trump.
	So she makes a great point.
	My friends, we are uh gonna send you on your way.
