What is going on, Patriots?
This is Tate Brown here, holding it down.
I've got a fantastic show for you guys.
We are holding it down here for the Rumble Daily lineup.
I'm here with producer Serge.
He is holding it down in the producer's chair, Serge.
unidentified
What's going on, guys?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
What's going on, big dogs?
We got a lot of big stories to talk about today.
A lot of huge, huge stories.
Minecraft, there is an incident involving Minecraft.
This is really the story that's at the top of everyone's tin, the tip of everyone's tongues right now.
It is the sort of civilizational.
The stakes are civilizational regarding this Minecraft situation.
We will get into that.
Obviously, you saw from the title, the RNC is blowing out the Democrats and cash on hand, which is quite interesting.
Doesn't seem to really be making an impact on the midterm polling, though.
I understand a lot of people in the audience are saying, well, you know, polling tends to be inaccurate.
You know, they got the Trump, you know, the Trump election incorrect, but there's something to be said about midterm polling tends to be a bit more accurate.
And again, just ignoring the polls, I think, is a mistake, I would say, and dismissing them.
I mean, they're certainly indicating something.
So we're going to get into that.
We have ICE and Roblox.
Again, this is kind of related to the Minecraft situation.
There's a lot going on, some serious cultural touch points.
ICE is now raiding homes in Roblox.
It's really something special.
We also have a situation of England, the British countryside to be made less white under government's nationwide diversity plans.
So once again, it's okay to be white is falling on deaf ears.
The English government and the British government broadly cannot bear the fact that white people do exist in high density or any density whatsoever that make up a Democratic majority.
That is unacceptable from the view, from the perspective of the British government.
So we're going to get into that.
So with that, we have our first story here from The Hill.
RNC holds nearly $100 million cash on hand advantage over Democrats.
The Republican National Committee holds a near $100 million cash advantage over Democrats, according to new filings from the Federal Election Commission.
The RNC totes around $95 million cash, while the Democrat National Committee holds about $15 million, $14 million rather, per filings, as both parties gear up for the 2026 midterm elections.
The DNC is also grappling with around a $17.5 million deficit following their defeat in the previous election cycle.
So the DNC is not doing too well.
They probably should have, you know, maybe loaded up on some Dave Ramsey reels or something like that.
I think that would have played well for them.
The GOP, the DNC rather raised about $145 million, lagging the Republican Party by $27 million.
So all this to be said, the Republicans are, or sorry, the House Democrats are currently trailing the GOP and campaign funding.
This was a quote from President Trump.
You got to win the midterms because if we don't win the midterms, they'll find a reason to impeach me.
I'll get impeached.
This is absolutely true.
Again, like, I understand why a lot of people are checked out for the midterms.
I don't actually, we went back and forth on this on IRL fairly recently with Phil, where he was making the case that every election is always the most important election of your life because, again, time is linear.
You know, we move into each new election cycle and the stakes get higher and higher and higher.
But I actually kind of reject that.
First of all, I think everyone's a bit burnt out right now with the news cycle.
I don't think there's any question about that.
I'm feeling it.
Tim's feeling it.
I think everyone in the audience is feeling it.
So, like, look, I'll just go through the polling real quick.
Like, here's a good example of the cash on hand situation.
As you can see here, Trump is blowing out pretty much all the Democrat apparatus when it comes to funding.
So massive discrepancy.
A lot of people, obviously, this gentleman here in the replies says, thank God we turn off the Ukraine money and USAID.
There is something to be said about the USAID money since it just kind of sort of trickled down into Democratic institutions or Democrat adjacent institutions, which is quite interesting.
But all this to be said, you look at the polling.
I mean, Calchie has the Democrats a 78% chance to control the House after the midterms.
As you can see here, the Republicans are just down four.
I mean, like, look, we could claw this back if we just get rid of these DEI districts down here in the South.
These districts only exist because of precedent that demands that we have black districts in the South, again, DEI districts.
So we get rid of those.
I mean, that levels you back up, but it's just one of those situations where it's like, it's not a resource issue right now.
This is not a resource issue as to why the Republicans are underperforming.
That's always been the sort of case of why Republicans underperform.
They say, well, the Democrats have this massive machine.
You know, they have every single institution under their control, these sorts of things.
Well, that is true still to this day.
We have the war chest.
We have the resources.
We have the sort of the inertia.
I mean, we're in office right now.
We do have a trifecta.
So those just aren't good enough.
Those aren't good enough explanations.
I think what's really going on here is that the Democrats are activated and the Republicans aren't.
I think the Republicans, I think Republican voters broadly have kind of checked out a bit.
Oron McIntyre actually talks about this.
He was obviously our guest host last night, but he's talked about at length how, you know, people on the left are in perpetual revolution mode.
So they always believe that they're a part of a revolution.
And that revolution never ends.
Even if a Democrat's in office, right?
Even if Barack Obama's in office or Joe Biden's in office, that revolution is still underway because they perceive, there is really no victory condition for their revolution.
It's just there's always someone holding down the victimized groups.
There's always someone holding down the country.
There's always someone to blame.
Perpetual revolution.
That's a very strong incentive to get voters out to the polls.
That is a very strong incentive to, again, get people to show up on Election Day and cast a vote for the Democrat Party.
The Republicans, on the other hand, do not have any impulse, even remotely close to that.
Trump and MAGA was the closest thing we've really gotten to sort of a revolutionary mindset, for lack of a better word.
But you only get that bump.
We've only gotten that bump really twice, which was the last election in the 2016, and everyone down ticket did quite well.
Apart from that, the Republicans don't really have, you can't compete with that.
We don't believe we're in perpetual revolution.
We believe, if anything, I think most Republicans, voters, their view of the Republican Party is simply the party of slowing down the Democrats.
That's just not enough.
That's not enough.
That's not enough to get someone off the couch on election day.
That's certainly not enough to counter the fervor that the Democrat voters are going to have, the Democrat base is going to have on Election Day because they're activated.
They believe that there's a fascist Gestapo that's roaming the streets across our country in Minneapolis.
They believe that Trump is quite literally like trying to abolish democracy.
They believe that all these GOP congressmen want to take away your rights, and then you ask them to explain what rights.
They don't really have an explanation for that.
But they, again, they perceive the Republican Party and Trump as this as like this moment in history.
And if they don't, you know, if they don't, for posterity's sake, log their opposition to this MAGA movement, then, you know, they're going to be resigned to being a coward or something like that.
So that's why they have that motivation.
They really do believe that this is like civilizational stakes.
And it kind of is.
They're actually kind of correct.
This is one of the few examples where I think the woke. is actually more correct than the normie right.
You know, this happens a few times where you end up seeing the woke and they're actually kind of have the correct take because they're so woke.
They almost sort of escape any common political science and they end up more correct than the political normies.
And I do think this is one instance where they're actually correct.
They actually do the left views Trump as a existential threat to the global post-war liberal regime.
And that's actually a correct analysis that Trump is an existential threat to you.
If you are a leftist, the Trump administration, by extension, MAGA, the MAGA movement, whatever it is that's driving MAGA, these sorts of things, that actually is an existential threat to you.
They do actually, us, you know, so to speak, us that are part of MAGA.
Our goal is actually to just completely dismantle your ideology and ensure that you never take power ever again.
It's completely cut off any possible avenue back to power that you could ever have.
So they're actually correct by being terrified.
They should.
I wish that, you know, I wish that us on the right would behave in the way that they view us, right?
Like they think that we're these authoritarians that are just ripping apart every institution and completely overhauling the United States.
I wish that were actually correct.
That would be nice, you know?
But people on the right, not the base, but a lot of elected officials, even people within the Trump administration and a good chunk of the voting base, truly believes that, you know, we just need a few tweaks.
The Democrats have just gone a little too far, but maybe we could ratchet back to like the 90s and then we'll be like fixed.
It's not enough.
That's not enough.
There's no way to get out of this mess without a complete overhaul, a complete reversion in the United States, a complete, you know, turning back the dial before like liberalism became really entrenched in the United States.
John Doyle makes this point all the time.
You can't ratchet liberalism back to an earlier stage and not expect a similar outcome, right?
So you can't just ratchet liberalism back to the 90s and then just freeze it there.
Like, okay, well, we'll keep these aspects of liberalism and we'll just freeze it.
And it'll just be like the 1990s forever.
That's not how political philosophy works.
Political philosophy is always moving forward.
You know, you're trying to fulfill your political philosophy and that's what happened.
So you take it back to the 1990s when it was safe, legal, and rare with abortion and gay marriage was kind of this like hush-hush thing.
You know, we just want to get married or whatever.
Like that took 10 years to get from gay marriage to like literally trans kids and these sorts of things.
So you can't.
You just can't ratchet it back.
Sorry.
I mean, if that's your dream, you know, to go back to the 90s or 80s, it's just simply not possible.
It really isn't.
And, you know, liberalism on that scale could potentially work if we had the demographic makeup that we did in the 1980s, 1990s, but we just don't.
Like liberalism, left-wing ideology will always seek to replace the population that's there because, again, in a democracy, you are trying to gain as many votes as possible to stay in power.
And so you're going to do whatever it takes to get as many votes to stay in power.
People on the left and people on the right broadly, but Republicans historically until recently, but certainly people, the Democrat Party, has correctly identified that immigrants will vote for the Democrat Party, that the children of immigrants will vote for the Democrat Party.
So You can't have that demographic composition for the 80s or 90s for very long because the Democrats will just realize that they can sort of entrench power in states like California and states like New York, states like Illinois, by just battery farming immigrants.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
Redneck Perception of Immigration 00:15:15
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
So, my proof for this is out of England, again, this is what this is what's going on.
And this is the same situation that's happening in the United States.
Again, England is not completely distant from the United States.
We share a lot of the same plights in many ways.
In some instances, we're more advanced in our sort of destruction than they are.
And many times, the British are much more further down the road in regards to destruction than we are.
This was, again, this is from GB News, a headline.
Britain's countryside to be made less white under government's nationwide diversity plans.
I'll just read here this write-up from Europa.
Rural officials across England have signed up to plans to make the countryside more ethnically diverse under a government initiative.
Protected landscapes such as the Chilterns, Cotswolds, and Maulevn Hills have adopted diversity targets to attract more non-whites to areas seen as holdouts of white middle-class Britons.
unidentified
Holdouts?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Holdouts.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
That's insanity, bro.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
The effort responds to government commission research warning that Britain's national heritage risks becoming irrelevant in an increasingly multicultural society, which described rural England as a largely white environment.
Again, England was a largely white environment until like 30 years.
Yeah.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
So talking about it.
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
It's a largely English environment.
I would expect England to be a largely English environment.
That makes a lot of sense to me.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I can't wait till they start calling the English like colonizers.
It's coming down the pipe, dude.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, it's going to be really weird when the British government is going to put their people through a struggle session over colonialism like they always do.
But the majority of Brits are non-white.
So it's going to be like Jamaican MPs going to Jamaica to apologize.
It's going to be really weird.
That's going to happen.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
That's so trippy.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Because the Conservative Party has so many immigrants in it at this point.
I mean, they're literally ran by an immigrant, which is wild to me.
The report, which cost £108,000, singled out traditional pubs and the prevalence of dogs as factors making ethnic minorities feel unwelcome.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I want to buy a dog.
I'm going to go buy a dog.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
There is a video.
That's what they're referring to.
There's a video of an activist lady, and she was like, dogs are literally the reason Muslims can't move to these rural areas.
That should just be like step one thing about the West, you know, where you go to Britain, America, wherever you go, people like dogs.
And we give dogs respect.
I mean, I'm not like a huge dog.
I'm not one of those people.
It's just like an unbelievable dog lover, but I like dogs because I'm a Westerner.
Yeah, I don't think we should eat them.
You know, we should pet them and we should give them food because they're fairly nice to us typically.
Muslims don't really feel the same way.
Third worlders broadly don't feel the same way.
I think third worlders broadly just don't really view pets the same way that Westerners do.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
As someone from the third world.
unidentified
Yeah.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I can tell you.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
So rural councils have now committed to measures aimed at increasing racial diversity.
And the Chilterns, I think I'm saying that right.
unidentified
That's right, yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Chilterns.
I've only read it.
Engagement programs have been developed specifically to target Muslim communities in nearby Luton.
Luton is like one of the worst places I've ever been in my entire life.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
You've been to Bradford?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Bradford's rough.
Huntersfield is like literally a PV server.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, Birmingham too.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Birmingham's bad, but like Luton is atrocious.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Luton's gone.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Luton is absolutely atrocious.
And it's a shame because literally 50 years ago, these are like fairly nice places.
It's not like the United States where some of these cities are always like you have to go back 100 years.
Like Britain, it was like literally people that grew up in Luton remember when it was quite nice.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
And they're like 40.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
It's like within my lifetime, I'm 33.
It's like within my lifetime, I've seen England shift entirely.
I remember being in England in like 2008 and have seen a massive shift when I was going, when I was back in England last in like 2001, my parents were still living in the UK.
It changed totally in like 10 years.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
It's nuts.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
I watched the Boris wave arrive in Scotland just in between visits like the first time I went.
unidentified
Right.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
I can't remember which year it was, but it was during, I think it was during Boris Johnson's reign.
And you like, you know, the highlands and these places are still fairly Scottish.
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
But like, I was in Inverness recently.
It's like literally Indian people.
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Like, I mean, just look up on a map where Inverness is.
There shouldn't be Indians there.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
No, definitely.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
And it's very remote.
You know, like, how do they even get there?
Yeah.
Glasgow itself is like cooked.
It's like the same demographic composition as London in many regards.
unidentified
Wow, really?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
It's just not turning into that?
It's bad, dude.
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Like, if you go to like Govan, Govan and Glasgow, it's just like it's over.
And this is now they're coming after the countryside.
So recruitment drives will prioritize increasing workforce diversity while promotional materials will feature non-whites and be translated into multiple community languages.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Community language.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
So they're not resting at Luton.
They're not resting at Birmingham.
They're not resting at Glasgow.
They're not resting at Huddersfield.
These picturesque countryside towns, which in many ways really do exemplify Western excellence in a lot of ways, are just absolutely stunning.
It's not enough for them to take over these major cities and completely replace the English people.
They want to come after the towns.
They want to overhaul the entire country.
This goes back to my point.
The reason I brought this up in the first place was talking about the Democrats, the Democrat Party, where again, in a liberal democracy, the left-wing party is going to realize that they can just battery farm immigrants to secure a voting majority.
That's just the reality of the situation.
A lot of other reasons why people support immigration.
There's these economic arguments, which don't make any sense anymore.
I think they've all been disproven really over the last five years.
And maybe people were a bit receptive to them 20 years ago, but they've all fallen flat, especially in Europe.
I mean, at least the immigrants in the United States, like to a degree, you know, you see some success stories.
But if you go to Europe, I mean, they're like literally, for the most part, almost entirely on welfare programs and these sorts of things.
It's really just an unbelievable thing to see.
They're forming ethnic enclaves, refusing to assimilate.
I mean, it's a complete disaster.
But again, in liberal democracy, you're going to get that.
You're going.
There's no way to talk them out of that.
There really isn't.
It's just an unstoppable force.
They're going to constantly seek to replace the population.
There's obviously more nefarious philosophical reasons as to why these elites want to replace white people.
There's no question about that.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
You can think of reasons.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, I can think of a few.
But if we just look at it from a pure liberal, like a critique of liberalism, that would be my critique of liberalism.
I think unpacking why they want to replace white people broadly is another hour-long show.
There's no question it's happening.
There's no question that, again, even if it was like obvious, it was complete negative.
They just want to replace white people because they hate them.
It's a self-hatred thing.
It's demonic.
It's Top Tower Babel 2.0.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
You see the same thing in Germany.
Germany is mostly Germans.
And I was just recently in Europe and I was amazed at how different even just a city in Germany is to like Prague, for instance.
It's a night and day difference.
And what's scary to me about seeing this is like you can drive around like rural Germany.
Like in this particular case in Bavaria, it's like mostly German.
If that were to go away, what is Germany?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Right.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
What's the point of having Germany at all?
Like it doesn't make sense to me.
It's just, it's like, it's like suicidal empathy at this point.
Everyone can say that.
You know, we all know it is.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, it's just like it's very sensible to want to have a homeland for your people.
And it's even more sensible for that homeland to be the place in which your people have resided for thousands of years.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, it's like named after your language.
You know what I mean?
Like, I mean, what else?
What do we want here, guys?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
So it's absolutely ridiculous.
But the nice thing is with Zoomers, you're seeing the tides turn on this immigration narrative.
Young people broadly are falling into two camps.
There's not really any centrists left.
They're mostly just right-wing or left-wing, but a lot of Zoomers and Gen Alpha by extension are completely radicalized on immigration.
They've realized like the country that they live in.
I guess these immigration proponents, these leftists, what they don't realize is that people can just look up videos and pictures of what the country looked like 50 years ago.
Like, that was something.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
20 years ago.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
30 years ago.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
They completely missed that.
You know, they completely missed that.
Actually, people can just look at what New York City looked like 20, 30 years ago.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Bro, you've been making posts about how your birth are stolen from you posting memes from the 2010s.
Thousands of university.
I'm like, what?
Bro, he's right.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, literally like a Tuscan home.
That's my dream.
Yeah, so the Zoomers are, the Zoomer Waffens, so to speak, are fired up.
Here's a good video giving, I guess this would be an example of sort of the Zoomer perception of immigration.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I'll have to mute it for the audio, but.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, okay, I'll mute it.
This is on Roblox.
ICE point of view, ICE is going door-to-door in Roblox.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I'm sure people have seen this.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
I mean, this is really something.
Look at this.
They're storming in.
They grab him.
Look how many, look how many people.
Look at this guy.
He's huge.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Shredded, dude.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, so like you see, like there's taken off.
Like, most of them didn't even make it in the car.
They just wanted to be involved.
Look how many of these players are playing as ICE.
Like, there's only one guy that wanted to be Mexican.
Everybody else wanted to be an ICE agent.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
That really tells you where the Zoomers are at.
The Zoomers, the young ones, are, I think immigration is one of the few things where they're like fairly consistently right-wing.
I do think, like, I think people are slightly overrating how right-wing Zoomers are.
I think most Zoomers are fairly apathetic about it.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I think they're most apathetic.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
But I do think Zoomers are more racially conscious and immigration issues, whether you like it or not, immigration is always going to be tied to a degree of racial consciousness.
There's really no way around that.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
It's because you're from a place.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
You're from a place.
This is why I think it's a mistake to just completely rail on identity politics.
All politics to a degree is downstream of their identity.
All politics is identity politics in some ways.
Again, I'm not endorsing identity politics.
I'm just saying to be an immigration or to be like a native, like an American nativist, that's going to require a degree of say my identity as an American is not up for debate, and B, needs to be protected.
And so I'm going to adjust the immigration policy accordingly.
So with that, we got some interesting stuff.
This was a robot.
This was out of Minecraft.
This is really.
This is where the Zoomers, I think, this is the slop they're served up.
Yeah.
But just take a look here.
I can't even explain what's going on.
This is Minecraft's official.
It's like a DLC.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Not with a Minecraft.
Seriously?
I have these books.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Why is she at the front?
unidentified
Why is she at the front?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Which bridge is that?
Is that the PewDiePie bridge?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I wish.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Is it the PewDiePie bridge?
That'd be pretty good.
That'd be something.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I wish.
It's the same angle.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
So people on Twitter are fighting back.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Villagers will not.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
And this is like the cleanest quote tweet I could find.
Yeah, there was one of them with whips.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
It's a bit racy.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
I'm sure you can find it, guys.
I'm sure you've seen a lot of them.
This to be said, all this to be said.
What's my point here?
I'm not sure.
I just wanted to show you that.
So next up, this was Mary Verion, Tim Castaverio and Mary Morgan.
This was my, I got a little bit of flack.
I had a few people message me.
They're saying, what's your problem with Jelly Roll?
I'm sure he's a nice guy.
Not my cup of tea, the music.
I think the music's pretty bad to me either.
But this specifically, this comment bothered me.
Everyone was like celebrating Jellyroll for this comment.
There's this problem on the, it's always existed on the right.
As soon as anyone with any level of mainstream credibility says something vaguely right-wing, people turn him into like an avatar.
This happens like non-stop, and we never learn our lesson because this always, generally speaking, backfires.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Dude, it happened with that guy with the people up north or whatever.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Oh, Oliver Anthony.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Oliver Anthony, that's right.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
It happens every time, man.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, the guy, like, he literally just made a song in the woods and then, like, the right, because, again, it's just like vaguely populist sounding, turned him into this avatar.
Turns out he was just like a normie libertarian, I think.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Boilerplate lefty, boilerplate Democrat.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, he was like a, I think he was a hicclub.
Anyway, he was not a conservative.
There's no question about that.
So Jellyroll comes out and people are praising him.
People on the right are praising him for this quote here.
I'll just play it.
jelly roll ▲ ● ▼
You know, I'm a dumb redneck.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
I haven't watched it.
Maybe.
Okay.
Take a look at this.
And you can maybe get your spidey senses tingle a little bit of why this isn't like a productive thing to say and why we certainly shouldn't be celebrating this quote here.
Take a look.
jelly roll ▲ ● ▼
I can tell you that people shouldn't care to hear my opinion, man.
You know, I'm a dumb redneck.
unidentified
I haven't watched enough.
I didn't have a phone for 18 months.
jelly roll ▲ ● ▼
I've had one for four months and don't have social media.
I hate to be the artist and static aloof, but I've just, I've come so disconnected from what's happening.
And I'm just not a, I grew up in a house of like insane pandemonium.
And like, like, I didn't even know politics were fucking real until I was in my mid-20s in jail.
unidentified
Like, that's how disconnected.
jelly roll ▲ ● ▼
When you grow up in a drug addict household, you think we like have common calls about what's happening in world politics?
Like, we're just trying to find a way to survive, man.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
So the background he's describing, I don't know if you guys are, you know, political wonks if you're politicos here.
That's JD Vance's background.
That's literally JD Vance's background.
So this like cop-out where like because you grow up in a bad house and you're like from the south, that makes you intellectually inferior to what people from the coast.
Like what Jellyroll is saying here is actually counterproductive.
This is harmful to us on the right because he is re-emphasizing the fact that being a dumb redneck, which is just accepting the framing of the right, invalidates your opinion, makes you somehow lesser than, makes you somehow intellectually inferior to the coastal elite.
Like just something like a self-owned retarded, because he never once said, I don't think anybody here should be talking about politics.
He didn't say like, hmm, maybe musicians aren't the most informed on politics or maybe we should just talk about music tonight instead of getting all political.
That's something he could have said.
He could have condemned some of the other artists that were mouthing off on stage.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
He basically said dumb rednecks shouldn't comment on politics.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
That's what he said.
There's just zero sense of self-respect here.
Again, and then he tries to like say, oh, my household, we weren't political growing up because it was drugs and fighting and stuff.
Again, JD Vance is the vice president, so I don't want to hear it.
It's weird.
Okay.
Because all you're doing when you say that is all you're doing is you're telling every kid in America that's growing up in a similar situation that had a bit of a crap upbringing.
Stay in politics.
You have no shot.
You shouldn't bother getting political.
What you should do is you should become a musician.
What you should do is you should become like an athlete.
You know who does that?
You know who tells their children?
You know what group tells their children not to get political, not to do anything with their lives?
You should just try to be a musician or try to be an athlete.
Serge, can you help me out here?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I was waiting for you to take raids.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Why are we actually black people here?
Like, what are we doing?
What are we doing?
This is terrible.
And black will agree with me, by the way.
Like, Charles Barkley said that verbatim.
Charles Barkley said, it's so frustrating going to schools and every kid wants to be a musician or NBA player or an NBA player.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
NFL player.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
We shouldn't be like replicating that across society.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Well, what about NHL players?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, like, this is just such a...
Stop Being Self-Deprecating 00:03:40
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
So Mary Morgan had a great take here.
unidentified
She...
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
She had this commentary she wrote up.
She said, quote, I'm a dumb redneck.
What an undignified thing to say, regardless of the question being asked.
Even if you had a messy upbringing, at least show some pride in overcoming your circumstances and becoming a success.
I'm so sick of seeing these typical, self-effacing white people zero self-respect.
That is exactly correct.
True.
You're dunking on yourself, which is just stupid.
You're like, you've succeeded.
Jellyroll's clearly a success.
He's a very wealthy individual and well-known.
And he's undercutting himself by saying, Well, I'm a dumb redneck, you know, da-da-da-da-da.
So I shouldn't, I've come, it's completely irrelevant, in my political opinion.
Stupid.
And that's what Mary is saying, like have a little self-respect.
And then also, just everybody else that's in your circumstance growing up is going to be demoralized by that.
That's not going to help them.
What if they can't sing?
Are you screwed?
What if you're not, you know, what if you're not good at football?
Oh, you're screwed then.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, I guess.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
JD Vance, that's a fluke.
You know, that's a fluke.
It's not because he actually locked in and worked hard and put his life back together.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I'm sure he's good at work.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
So just useless.
This is useless, what Jellyroll said here.
This is useless.
People should stop glazing this.
I'm so sick of people on the right who have like no self-confidence in their beliefs that they need some mainstream credibility.
They need artists that have mainstream credibility to co-sign what they're saying.
No, stand on business.
Like we're correct.
We're right.
They're wrong.
We want it more than they do.
They don't.
So stop like being insecure and just waiting for, again, like a B-list celebrity to come out and say something vaguely not left-wing.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, just not even, not even like right-wing, just like vaguely not left.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, and they say that they go all in.
They put all their chips down.
Again, Jellyroll didn't say anything right-wing there.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
No.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
He just didn't say anything left-wing.
And that's, again, like, what are we going to do?
Like, turn this guy into a right-wing avatar?
Because I guarantee you in three months, he's going to say something retarded and everyone's going to have egg on their face.
All these people that came out and are glazing him right now.
Guarantee it.
Guarantee it.
So I'm just so sick of seeing it.
And I'm sick of this type of rhetoric, too, from people where they just, again, like kneecap themselves.
They undercut themselves.
Again, just have some respect like as like white, like white people.
Like white people are always like crapping on themselves.
Even people that are conservatives.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Self-deprecating.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
They always are self-deprecating.
It's like, no, we should be pretty proud.
I think America's quite nice.
Europe's pretty great.
Australia, New Zealand.
It's a great place.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
I wonder why everyone wants to come here.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Why is it?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Why?
What's the reason?
Yeah, I gotta ask you.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Dumb rednecks.
Yeah.
Who do you think won the wars?
It was the proletariat.
Like it was the corn-fed country boys.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Back-to-back world champs.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Maybe from the South, from the Midwest.
That's what wins war.
And we're supposed to believe that we're inferior because of that.
Is that seriously what we're going to do now?
Is that seriously the winning line that the right wing is going to endorse and lift up Jellyroll?
So it's just like, I'm just so, I'm just so, it's just so sick of it.
It's just so toxic.
And again, people should just be maybe a little proud of who they are.
You know, it's not a bad, evil thing.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Dude, I think we've been playing on the left ballfield for 30 plus years.
People are not willing or not, not necessarily not willing to.
They're just like, that muscle hasn't been exercised.
Like the strength of saying like, we are right morally.
We are right economically.
You always people say like, oh, well, I'm socially liberal, but I'm fiscally conservative, which is just a dogwist a way to say, like, I vote for the Republicans.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Right.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
We should be able to say, like, we can do whatever we want because we're in power right now.
We are, we are that are calling the shots.
We are the boot that steps.
Pds Framework Shift 00:02:06
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
You know what I mean?
And, you know, we're not doing that right now.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Well, it's when you step into the left's framework and then try to beat them at their own game.
You're going to lose every single time.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Every single time.
I agree.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
The goal should be dragging the left into our framework, make them play on our terms, and we can beat them at our own game.
What is the right wing's terms?
Again, what the United States discourse was basically what it was before 1960.
Like every single time we're trying to do this dance where we're trying to like find a good way to call the left racist or if we can figure out how to portray the left as like sexist or something.
No, they don't care.
That's not how this, you're not going to like swing over a voter.
Like, I remember this happened just the other day when the Alex Predi shooting and the two ICE officers were Hispanic.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
And then all these like smug conservatives were like, I'd like to see all the left react to that one.
Or they're going to endorse a white guy over a Hispanic.
And it's like, what do we do?
What are we doing here?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Like, how is this so weak, dude?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
It's just, it's just weak.
You're just buying.
Again, you're just stepping into the left's framework.
So with that, we have Monica here.
We're going to play a quick ad for you guys and then we're going to have a chat with the great Monica Page.

tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Well, we are back and we are back for a fantastic interview.
We have the great Monica Page here and she is live from the White House.
Let's see.
Should I get this dragged over?
Monica, how is it going?
How are you doing today?
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
What's going on?
I'm very cold.
It's very crowded here at the White House.
As you can see behind me, there's a lot of chaos happening.
It's because the Colombian president is here.
So there's a lot of foreign press on the grounds, as you can imagine.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, well, nice.
Well, I imagine a lot of people in the audience are familiar with you and your work.
Maybe for those who aren't, could you give a quick intro of who you are and what you do?
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
Yep, I'm Monica Page.
I'm the White House correspondent for Frontlines with Turning Point USA, and we're here covering the White House, and we'll cover protests throughout the DC DMV area, covering anything from domestic issues, international issues.
We can travel sometimes.
So it's always a fun time for Turning Point USA.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
I love that.
I love that.
Well, I wanted to bring you on because the past or yesterday and today, we've been discussing sort of the state of the culture war in the sense of the actual battle over culture itself.
I had Libby Emmons on yesterday.
We were discussing the Kennedy Center, you know, what exactly the plan is there.
Again, because that's a really important part of taking culture back.
But we were also talking about like how disastrous the Grammys were.
And it's like, we're feeding slop to the American people.
I think people want a little more.
But I've seen a turning point.
So you guys are doing a halftime show alternative for the Super Bowl.
I mean, we saw Bad Bunny yesterday, like at the Grammys dunking all over ice.
I wanted to hear what y'all's plan.
How do you think this is going to play out?
Because this is really exciting stuff.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
We're really excited.
And I think that this is the perfect time to do something like this, especially in the midst of the culture war, like you were just saying.
I mean, having Kid Rock being like the headline performance, there are rumors online of another surprise appearance by another very famous music artist, but I cannot confirm nor deny those rumors just yet.
So we'll guess you're going to have to tune in to see who or if there will even be a surprise guest.
But it's very exciting.
I know that there's been a lot of planning involved, a lot of behind the scenes work from our productions crew, even from executives behind the scenes.
So we're really, really proud of this.
And I'm really excited to see what the turnout's going to be.
You could watch on Real America's Voice and it's going to be streamed on all social platforms.
So it'll be a lot of fun.
And I think that, you know, it's going to be very interesting to see what Bad Bunny does at the Super Bowl for those who actually do tune in.
It's just so anti-American to see what he's doing.
Just to come out performing in a dress as a man.
You know, he's going to say some kind of, you know, F-ICE thing or something that like degrades the true spirit of America and what football stands for, just your traditional American sport.
And this is what you're going to have as your halftime show performance.
So we're very proud of what we're doing at Turning Point USA.
We're very excited to see what the reaction.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
I love it.
I'm super excited as well.
I mean, you obviously spent a good amount of time at the White House in DC in and around the workings of the Trump administration.
Is there a sense in the Trump administration that it's a top priority to, again, win the culture back?
Because it seems like with previous Republican administrations, it's just like, look, we're going to govern and then get out of the way, where the Trump administration is looking for really an entire reworking of how these incentive structures in the United States operate in the first place.
I mean, again, the Kennedy Center maybe disagree with the implementation as some have, but at least it shows that it's on the front of their minds.
Like, hey, the culture, the state of the culture is just as important as, you know, our economics numbers and these sorts of things.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
You're absolutely right.
I think you raise a really, really good point because, you know, when it comes down to it, culture is the big picture in all this.
And it's kind of like the umbrella.
And then you have within the culture, you've got the economic plan, you've got the immigration, you've got, you know, not only our culture war, but also the gender dysphoria section of everything as well, where you're taking men out of women's sports, et cetera, and spaces.
And what we're seeing, especially with this administration, it is really pandering and really, I guess, trying to win over this young crowd of people who say affordability is your number one issue.
Okay, how are we going to make things more affordable?
Well, if you take a look at their rent prices, they're just hit a four-year low, lowest since they've been since 2022.
I believe they're down 6.2%.
This is great for our young people.
That also ties into culture.
I mean, you're seeing with the immigration crisis, you're seeing with what they're doing on social media.
That's a huge part.
This administration has been so huge on social media, kind of really trying to reach that cultural standpoint and reach the young people.
And culture is everything.
I mean, this is the American spirit.
This administration is embodying what it means to truly be an American and be proud to be American as well.
So I think we're going to be seeing more of this, especially as we head into the midterms.
That's going to be something that we're really going to be looking at because it really seems, you know, we always say the left can't meme.
The left also really can't culture because what is their culture?
I mean, it seems like they're flipping on every single kind of issue.
They don't really have a single stance on something.
Everything's very much gray area.
Nothing is specifically black or white like it is here.
And there's no transparency with the left.
So we're going to be seeing a lot more cultural wins with this administration to come because we've already seen a bunch of them so far as we've already done one year into this Trump administration.
unidentified
Absolutely.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Well, you can just tell that the policies from the Trump administration are popular.
This is having an impact on culture.
I mean, it's a bit tongue-in-cheek.
It's funny, but there's some degree of like, wow, this is where the culture's heading.
I was playing a reel earlier on Roblox, the online video game that's popular with like teenagers and these sorts.
And they were like conducting ice raids in Roblox.
And it's like, that's actually an indication that the Zoomers and the Gen Alpha by extension really are aligned with like the Trump administration on immigration.
And that's like the issue.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
And what's funny is that I can't remember a single instance under the last administration because I covered the Biden administration for a year and a half.
I can't remember a single instance where something like that had happened with our culture, with social media, with the younger demographic.
I can't remember a single instance where something like that had happened.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Well, they tried to astroturf like the brat thing with Charlie XCX where they're like, Kamala's brat now.
And I'm like, whoa, what?
Yeah, it's just terrible.
I saw at the White House, obviously, Nikki Minaj was in town.
This is very exciting for quite a few people.
My mom was excited.
But a lot of young people, like Nikki Minaj has some serious polls.
She's got some hitters, some heavy hitters among youngsters.
What was the vibe at the White House with Nikki Minaj being around?
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, I mean, it's exciting.
It's exciting to see somebody who maybe has stayed quiet for a little too long and now is finally able to use her voice because which she's kind of in the trenches when it comes to this music industry.
I mean, you see it at the Grammys.
You see it, you know, in movies and entertainment.
You know, you can't really speak out or else she'll be completely blackballed in the industry.
And props to her.
I mean, it's been very enthusiastic here at the White House.
I've been a Nikki Minaj fan for the past 15 years.
So to see her come out and support the values that I also support makes me feel like, wow, she's really just like me.
And she's just like a lot of us here, you know?
And it's exciting.
And I'm really hoping that she could lead the charge in more music artists and more entertainment artists to come out and speak out.
And what I found really interesting was the way she spoke out on X on the Grammys night.
She goes, Should I just spill the beans?
And everyone was just like, yes, do it.
And she's going after Chrissy Teigen and she's going after Trevor Noah.
Good.
Honestly, good.
Root out this evil, you know, expose things for what they are.
Stop, you know, we've been living in such a weird place over the last couple of decades where, you know, you see Chrissy Teigen's posts on X from decades ago, and everyone just like turns a blind eye.
And no, I'm glad we're standing up to what's really happening.
I'm glad we're exposing it.
We need more of this.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, the thing that's so refreshing about Nikki Minaj specifically is because I was pointing out on the first half of the show, the right has this tendency where if anybody says anything that's just broadly like not left-wing, we latch onto them and turn them into like this avatar.
And they're like, thank you, thank you.
You're such a hero.
No, no, no, no.
Like this person's great.
And then three months later, they say something completely retarded and it just completely undermines, like it makes us all look like idiots for like throwing our full weight behind.
The difference with Nikki Minaj is she's clearly like read up on the issues.
Like she is completely down for the cause.
Again, she has a strong vision for how America ought to be.
And then she's putting her money where her mouth is.
She's showing up to our events.
She's, again, like communicating our ideas to an audience that honestly would never ever be able to penetrate.
There's something so refreshing about that.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
Absolutely.
And to your point, I mean, I feel like you just gave the example of, you know, we latch onto somebody and then they say something completely ridiculous.
I can think of one person that comes to mind is Sidney Sweeney.
I think we are throwing a lot of money behind her for no reason.
She has, she's not political.
She's not speaking out about politics.
You can't trust where she stands on issues.
But Nikki Minaj, given the fact that she's been so transparent, I mean, not to the fullest extent as maybe as what I would like to see.
I would like to see and hear her real first world experiences of what made her change.
You know, of course, we heard a blip from the Katie Miller podcast recently where she said that, you know, she saw President Trump being bullied and she's been through something similar as such.
And that's why she's kind of standing by him.
But I want to hear more about what specific issues to her were meaning a lot to her and really got her to change her ways.
But I think that she not only getting involved with the females vote, maybe the young vote, but also the backbone, like exposing these communities, you know, it's and maybe even just normalizing that it's okay to be black and to support Donald Trump.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
Because the left weaponizes the race.
They weaponize so many different demographics.
And this is exactly what we need right now.
And I'm really excited to see or maybe even hear from more of her.
And who knows?
Who knows what she could do next?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, absolutely.
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
It's just a breath of fresh air.
And she's providing an alternative for young people, which I think is kind of the key because the Grammys are just so entrenched as far as like the people that are in charge of the voting and who gets invited.
Again, everything is a tight ship.
It's really unfathomable to imagine like us just coming in there and like taking over.
That would require something that's just kind of impossible versus just being on the outside and sort of by being cool.
And I've always said for years, having fun is a political strategy.
Like we're the side having fun and look over at the Grammys and they're having like a struggle session over ice and these sorts of things.
A lot of young people are going to see that people broadly and just go like the side that's having fun and doesn't seem miserable.
That's what I like.
That is an alternative that's viable.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
They're always miserable.
They're always finding something to be offended by.
They're always going to find something wrong with something.
And we're always cracking jokes because we can take jokes.
We can dish jokes.
We have such a great group of people on our side that it's not that serious.
Nothing is really all that serious.
I mean, if you could joke about it, you know, joking is a coping mechanism.
These people, they take the issues and they're like, oh, you know, that's offensive to the Latinx or to the seizures and the they thems.
And just let this administration be.
Just let people do their jobs, especially when it comes to ICE, especially when it comes to what the leading heads are in this administration.
Let people do their jobs and have fun with it.
And I think to your point, I think you're 100% right that people see what's happening at these award shows.
They see, you know, the performative activism on the red carpet with the ice outpins.
And they're like, all right, like, does everything have to be a political stunt?
We could just have something fun for once.
unidentified
Yeah.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
And I'm hoping that could be a shift.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, yeah, it's just, it's just so, it's just so gay.
Like, it's just so gay.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
It's all, it's all FNG, baby.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, seriously.
So, I mean, that's, that's what the Trump administration.
I mean, I think the key that people need to be learning here, and I think Trump understands this very well and his inner circle understands this very well.
But a lot of people in the commentariat, a lot of people that are elected officials in DC don't seem to understand is you don't have to explain yourself to the left anymore.
Like you can just conduct yourself in a way that achieves victory and achieves results for the American people.
And you don't have to explain yourself to the left.
You still see this tendency of people on the right that they want the glossy, you know, Washington Post op-ed.
They want the nodding approval from someone on CNN of being a bipartisan deal maker.
The Trump administration understands like these people aren't worth winning their approval.
These people aren't worth impressing.
And if you are impressing, that means you're conceding, you're folding, you're doing something wrong.
And so, again, you see some of the stuff with Nikumaj and that sort of thing.
It's just people all looking around and saying, we don't really need to impress these people at the Grammys anymore because they're unimpressive people.
unidentified
Yeah.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
And I mean, like, what's interesting is also, we don't need to explain ourselves to anybody.
We're doing what the American people voted for.
The American people voted for this president to do what he to do his job, to do what he campaigned on.
And if the left is upset about it, well, that's too bad for you because we're going to do what we need to do to keep our nation safe, to keep our Americans safe, to make this country more prosperous again for everybody.
So why should we ever have to explain ourselves to the left to be apologetic, say, oh, so sorry, you know, if I hurt your feelings?
No, it's facts over feelings.
Your feelings are out the window.
We're doing, we're full, full steam ahead.
We're doing what we need to do.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, I think that's why it was a mistake with the recent ice shooting is where people on the right immediately went like, I don't know, and they tried to turn into like a referee looking at the instant replay.
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
It just seems like a huge misstep again to just start off on the back foot by conceding ground to the left.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, well, both sides are wrong.
Both sides.
No, I don't want to hear this both sides thing anymore.
You're either right or you're wrong.
And if you're on the wrong side, well, the truth always comes out.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, absolutely.
And that's absolutely true.
It's just the era of like the bipartisan.
What is the middle ground?
What exactly is the middle ground?
Because you have two factions with two fundamentally different views of not just America, but of the world.
I mean, we're not disagreeing on tax policy anymore.
I wish.
That'd be nice if we were, but we're not.
Like, we're literally disagreeing on like, how ought a child be raised?
Do the parents have the right to that child?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Do you like, should we flood the country with like the entire third world?
These are the questions that we disagree on.
Where's the bipartisan?
Where's that going to occur?
I just, I fail to see it.
It's just so ridiculous to me.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
I know.
And it's definitely interesting because I feel like the left just gets even more left and we just kind of stay in the middle.
And if anything, we maybe even get pushed even more further right because what the left does.
So there really can't be anything bipartisan anymore.
I mean, when you take a look at what's happening with ICE and everything that has going on in Minneapolis and beyond, and I know a lot of our cities, ICE is doing its job.
It says, hey, listen, you know, if only you had just stayed home, Alex Pretty, the way that your profile picture said on Facebook, you wouldn't have run into this issue.
And these people lack common sense, not only in, you know, doing the right thing, but also in every aspect of lives, actually.
So it, you know, there is no real bipartisan situation where anybody can agree on anything because the left is always going to find something wrong with what this administration is doing just because it's Trump and just because it's they hate Trump.
And the right, we're just going to keep doing the right thing because that's what we always tried to do.
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
I mean, the victory condition for the left on the ICE situation is complete end to deportations.
They're not going to move on that.
Like they've been pretty explicitly clear that look, I mean, just look how Biden operated.
He flooded the country with like 20 million, so 15 to 20 million.
So again, the victory condition for them is just stopping deportations.
And they would be like, that's us conceding.
ICE Operations Under Scrutiny 00:05:14
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
So I just, I understand that the Trump administration, you know, they are out with the body cameras.
These things are probably actually good.
These things will protect the ICE officers, if anything.
But some of the rhetoric you see sometimes, I'm like, guys, you don't have to explain this.
Like they're going to hate ICE no matter what they do, even if they're handing out flowers to these people.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
Right.
And what's really funny is when I see, you know, the lefties that are posting the infographic about Renee Good and Alex Predty.
And I was like, where was the infographic for Charlie Kirk?
You know, when he was killed unarmed, just with a microphone, speaking to everyday people, and you're going to have, you're going to feel bad for Alex Predty and Renee Good and people who are taunting ICE agents.
And then you're like, oh, well, why did he get shot?
Are you kidding me?
I mean, it's just like, it's kind of like living in the Twilight Zone.
It's ridiculous.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, literally.
Like our hero, our martyr, Charlie Kirk, fantastic, unbelievable father, husband, patriot, like you name it.
Everything about him was just excellence.
He was just like the definition of excellence.
That's our martyr.
And then theirs are people that were actively committing a crime as they got killed.
It's like, you can't make this up.
You really can't make this up.
unidentified
Right.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
So it's absolutely unbelievable.
But we, well, we still, we still have plenty of time.
So I wanted to ask you with ICE.
I wanted to get into some of the ICE stuff.
What has been the mood in and around the White House surrounding the ICE operation in Minneapolis?
Obviously, we've got the arrest of Don Lemon, which is a huge deal.
I don't even think a lot of Trump, you know, Trump loyalists even expected that.
Like that was a huge W.
But what has been the mood in and around the White House?
What are people saying regarding ICE's operation in Minneapolis?
Do they believe that we're going to be able to carry it out to fruition or do you think the pressure, you know, I mean, we've seen maybe a little bit of a tapering back.
What's your whole mood?
Because there's a lot of panicans that are saying Trump conceded in Minneapolis.
You know, it's over.
He totally backed down.
I mean, is that that doesn't seem accurate to me, but I wonder what you're seeing on the ground.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, no, you know, I hate when you hear those kinds of stories about, you know, all the rumors inside the White House, they're scrambling.
You know, that's completely not true.
That's completely manufactured BS, quite honestly, because you've got a lot of fake news here at the White House.
There's a long row of tens of them on this North Lawn and probably behind me as well.
But, you know, when it comes to ICE in Minneapolis, this White House is standing firm.
They've got the same message that they've had since the very, very beginning.
If anything, they want to see our ICE officers be safer than they've been in recent months.
And it's a shame that they have to do this.
Unfortunately, local politicians and local leaders in these states and these cities won't do the right thing.
So we got to resort to these kinds of measures.
A lot of reporters on the ground here, not too happy about the ICE operation.
You can tell kind of the way that they're reporting on it.
So it's interesting to see kind of the dynamic between the White House and the reporters here.
And we see that in the press briefing.
I'm sure there'll be a press briefing this week as well.
But I mean, even just the one that we had about last week or two weeks ago, it's always like, well, you know, are you sure that, you know, ISIS should be there?
Are they going to stand down anytime soon?
And it's like, what kinds of questions are these?
And of course, you've got the CNN, the MSNOW, MSNBC, whatever you want to call it.
This is what they do.
And it's quite frustrating as somebody who, you know, not only. believes in common sense and believes in the safety of all Americans, including our ICE agents, it's just frustrating to stand there and listen to the questions and be like, this is what you're really going to be reporting on.
And then you're going to take what Caroline Levitt says and completely spin it into something that goes directly against your narrative and makes it sound like she's a terrible person.
That's really what it's like here.
And it will be interesting to see how it unfolds in Minneapolis and how even further their response will be here at the White House.
But as it stands, this White House has done a fantastic job of standing firm in what it believes in.
It says, you know what, we're going to do what we're going to do.
And they have a great team behind them.
And, you know, if you don't like it, you know, that's tough.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
It's great to see because that's like the issue.
I mean, that's really what propelled MAGA in the first place in 2016 was people looking around saying this immigration thing is ridiculous and we're getting ripped off, et cetera.
And again, I mean, look at the RNC in 2024.
What were the people, the signs we were holding up?
It said mass deportations now.
Like this is the issue.
And I think that's why the left actually, they understand the stakes are very high on this issue.
And that's why they're spending a lot of political capital on trying to push back against these ICE operations because they know that if we're able to successfully conduct these things, this is going to bode very well for us electorally.
It's going to vode very poorly for them electorally because they can't just import voters.
They can't just pack in illegal immigrants and wait for them to have kids and then just like guarantee states like California stay blue forever.
unidentified
Yeah.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
And with what the last administration has done has not only let in criminal illegal aliens that have been causing disaster chaos in our cities when it comes to our safety as women and children, of course, but also economically.
When you take a look at the rent situation, when you come take a look at our neighborhoods, who the hell would want to live in this in the in Washington, D.C. when you've got, you know, certain type of housing down the block, and then you've got that in our very small communities that don't need to look like that.
It's very interesting.
Virginia is going to be inhabitable, I predict in the coming months because of the local leadership and local government.
And I hope this administration does something about that because it's not only Virginia, but you're also going to see it in New Jersey and New York City as well.
And it's a shame because the illegal crisis has caused absolute chaos with violence and also economically.
And not many people talk about the economic aspect of it.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, like your state of New Jersey.
I mean, if you don't speak Hindi, you're kind of cooked.
Churches Under Threat 00:03:32
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Like it's crazy over there.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
That's almost like if you're not going to the local mosque and not, you know, bowing to Allah, you know, what are you going to do?
Yeah.
Like I, I personally, I got to be honest with you, living in Washington, D.C., I got, well, I live in Virginia, but I go to church in D.C.
And ever since what happened in Minneapolis with that, with that raid or whatever you want to call that mass protest, I get nervous going to church on Sundays.
I don't know what's going to happen.
And God forbid, if something like that were to happen to me on Sunday, I would, I'd probably make headlines, probably have to put me in handcuffs because it's because I got so upset seeing that happen.
And I'm a Catholic.
So it, it, it, you know, it hits close to home for me.
I'm very strong Catholic and to see what's happening and that this is just okay.
And of course, Don Lemon's like, you know, oh, you know, I was just doing my job.
Yo, what would happen if I organized a protest to go into a mosque and I was just there, just reporting on it, you know, nothing to see here.
You know, I'm just doing my job coincidentally here.
You know, what would happen if I don't even be allowed in?
It's ridiculous.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Heaven forbid if you're handing out donuts and coffee.
I mean, right.
I mean, you'd be in Guantanamo.
It'd be crazy.
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
It's just a total, just a total disaster.
I mean, that's, that's why it really is.
I mean, I'm a Christian as well.
That's the importance of sort of setting the tone with Don Lemon and his little crew there.
Because we've seen in the past that, you know, leftists, we'll call them radical leftists, you know, for the sake of trans like accuracy, but these radical leftists will go kinetic.
I mean, we've seen, we saw the Covington shooting and we saw in Minneapolis, like it was like last year, where they just shot through the windows into a, into a mass with a bunch of children.
So it's like that's one thing.
But then when you see people like Don Lemon, literal mainstream Democrats, and then getting their operation gets endorsed by other Democrats saying it's okay to storm into churches and disrupt the service, you're just asking for this to get out of hand.
You're just asking for someone to go kinetic when they enter these churches.
Because again, what was the accusation was the pastor was like broadly supportive of ICE.
Yeah, have you seen how Christians, specifically evangelicals vote?
That's like 80% of them.
Like 80%.
Like most evangelicals, most Christians, broadly, Catholics, you name it, are like would be considered far-right extremists in the eyes of these leftists.
So all it's really doing is just putting targets on Christians' backs.
And Christians, again, are the backbone of the United States is inherently a Christian country if you look at our founding.
So it's just so, I mean, and the Trump administration did a great job, you know, grabbing Don Lennon because I did not expect that, to be honest.
But yeah, it was so important to really just set the tone here with Minneapolis.
This cannot be allowed to go.
Like, I mean, I'm with you.
It is a little worrying going to church now.
You don't know what's going to go down.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, you have to set the tone because you can't normalize something like this.
And then to see the left defending Don Lemon and saying, oh, he was just exercising his First Amendment right.
You know, you know, he's just, you know, being a reporter and on the ground covering, you know, what's happening there.
No, he was straight up harassing churchgoers and disrupting a church service.
And, you know, it makes me nervous to think that maybe, you know, something like this could be normalized across the country, especially targeting churches, Christians, and Catholics.
We saw the previous administration basically normalizing the practice when it went after Catholic moms or Catholic schools.
And it's ridiculous.
And now are we doing that again?
And so I'm glad this administration, like you just said, setting the tone, setting the standard.
This is not going to be tolerated.
But it is alarming.
And what's even scarier is that there's people on the left who are justifying what Don Lemon did.
And that there are actual people out there who believe he would do the right thing.
And that the radical leftists did the right thing as well.
Colombia's Wake: Trump's Endorsement? 00:03:37
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
It's terrifying.
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Oh, he gets front row seats of the Grammys.
I mean, that's an endorsement.
There's no other way to view that, but an endorsement.
Like, it's absolutely insane.
And it goes back to our point.
I mean, where's the bipartisanship here?
Where is that even possible?
Like, why even pretend?
Let's just take away the pretense and let's just defeat them.
Like, it's pretty straightforward what we need to do here.
We just need to win so much and they need to lose a lot.
Like, it's very straightforward, the strategy here.
But with that, Monica, I wanted to ask you for some closing thoughts.
And maybe what's going on with the Colombian minute, the Colombia president being there, because I know him and Trump don't see eye to eye on a lot of things.
I'm curious what you're hearing for some final thoughts here.
unidentified
Sure.
monica paige ▲ ● ▼
Well, the relationship between the Colombian president and President Trump has definitely cooled over the last couple of months, especially after capturing the Venezuelan leader or dictator, rather.
So, you know, of course, this administration wants to talk about drugs, drug smuggling, the drug cartels that are, you know, happening and still running rampant in Colombia as well.
Trade is, of course, on the table as well.
And where we go from here in the South American region, especially when it comes to the future of Venezuela and maybe how, you know, Colombia and America could possibly team up in the future for future relations.
But I think we're expecting the Colombian president to leave at some point because during this entire time of our discussion, he's been holding the meeting behind closed doors.
Definitely not open to the press.
We know that we see the president and the leaders usually.
It's open to the press.
It's televised, but not this one, which is interesting.
So we'll definitely see how that all unfolds.
But I'm going to assume that it was a very productive conversation as they are.
You know, the president is the master of making deals with these foreign leaders and coming up with some kind of peace deal, whatever that may be, whatever that may mean, especially for Colombia.
But we'll see how this plays out.
It's definitely still going to be a little crowded.
We definitely still have a lot more coming up this week.
Week.
I know the president's going to be making remarks at the national prayer breakfast this week on Capitol Hill as well.
So we'll be keeping an eye on that, which I like.
I love that the president's making those remarks because he's been very open about his faith, been very open about, you know, his love for God and Jesus Christ.
So it's going to be very refreshing to hear from somebody who actually worships, you know, instead of a fake Catholic that we had in the previous administration.

That was fun, man.
It's so cool getting someone on the ground.
You know, it's just swag, swagged out.
With that, dude, hopefully Trump just mogged the Colombian president where he's just going to like, I don't know, just give us the country.
That would be sick.

Give him a wink about Maduro.
And he's going to be like, yo, better watch your back.

I know you don't want to wake up in New York City.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼
Wake up in a black bag.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Wake up in a black bag in Brooklyn.
I know you don't want that to happen to you.
So maybe we can cut a deal here.
Maybe we can negotiate a little bit.
Who knows?
So with that, we're going to be back tonight for Timcast IRL at 8 p.m.
I think we have George Santos in the house.
