Vivek Ramaswamy & RFK Jr: Brazil Banning X, the New Russian Hoax, and the Kamala Harris Scam

[Music]. the most interesting and newsworthy. television show of the year is coming. here to TCN we are not bragging that's. actually. true the president's been shot I repeat. the president's been shot so our. longtime producer Justin Wells and a. team have been embedded with no. publicity at all with Donald Trump on. the campaign Trail for months they're. the only crew capturing what is going on. on the campaign in real time intimately. they're with Trump as he campaigns for. the president presidency across the.

country and they've shot some amazing. footage it shows you what it's really. like in there so if you're a member you. will soon be able to get this Stu series. covering the historic campaign the fall. of Joe Biden never before seen footage. from the assassination attempt at the. Butler Township Pennsylvania Trump rally. and a lot more it's going to pull back. the curtain completely they are embedded. inside the campaign I can't wait to see. it personally but to get it first go to. Tucker carlson.com become a member the. greatest television event of the year.

we're proud to offer it. [Music]. [Applause]. [Music]. [Applause]. [Music].

thank you very. much I feel. like it is uh thank you thank. you it is a true joy to be here I must. say as a native. Californian I it's hard to believe I'm. here.

[Applause]. ah thank you no it's funny I um I am I'm. thrilled to be in the state of. California uh which I I often make fun. of and scold like an errant child but I. love I'm the product of it um many. generations of. Californians and um and I wound up. running away and moving to the as far. from here as I possibly could but every. time I come back literally I moved.

diagonally across the country um next. stop. Canada but every time I come back I know. I know um every time I come back I think. ah I can't believe I left here it's just. so great and you you get such a a. different sense of being here and. meeting people who actually still live. here who haven't run away like terrified. children like me um you really get the. sense that there are so many great and. normal people still in.

California. and the the people who stayed the actual. Californians people who were born in. California. um I mean there's an intensity to them I. mean it really is like I was thinking. tonight I was with about a hundred of. them um some of my relatives are here. and it really is like talking to like. Cuban refugees like they know what the. stakes are.

they're not floating through. life oh I'm going to bless you no when I. was a child growing up in La Hoya we had. I lived in San Francisco I know LA and. then La HOA and we would have entire. afternoon conversations about the. weather and I never realized I thought. it was a little weird but I didn't. realize how totally deranged it was. because our weather never changed at all. it went from like 76 and partly cloudy.

to 77 and sunny and then returned to the. former that was it we talked that's all. we talked about and now when I come to. the state particularly to Orange County. people are just INF Fuego like they know. what's. up and the people who've stayed here a. lot of them plan to to stay here period. and to make the state. better and what I realize and bless you. for your courage and determination and. not being run out and calling you.

Holland going to Idaho though it's close. and tempting um but what I always think. when I come back I think two things in. sequence in order the first thing I. think is man it's EST State screwed. up and then the second thing I think is. you could fix it in about 20. minutes it's not. hard this is not the social security. problem or the national debt these are. not complex math problems.

California has problems that are. intentionally imposed on the. state people worked hard they stayed up. late thinking of new and diabolical and. inventive ways to wreck the most. beautiful place God ever. made and that's like the sickest thing I. can imagine why would you want to. destroy something as beautiful as. California I don't know I don't know the. answer I don't think it's political I. think it's.

spiritual but I do know that the. antidote is really simple so the. California that I grew up in and when I. was little not far from here I was in. Anaheim at 5 and like every 5-year-old. in the state of California in 1974 I. could not wait to get to. Disneyland and Anaheim was very much. like Disneyland and it was like the rest. of the state that I grew up in it was. clean it was orderly and it was fair it. was the fairest State out of 50 it was a.

pure meritocracy California was you came. to California because you had ambition. or a vision and in California you were. allowed to make it real you worked hard. you were smart you get rich in. California and a lot of people did from. all over the. country yeah they did and what is that. that's. fairness it's allowing people to reach. their full expression as human beings. that's fairness it's not penalizing. people for who their parents were or how. they look it's allowing people to truly.

Blossom and California was the world. headquarters of that and it had the. greatest natural resources of any place. literally on the planet it had the. richest Farmland it had the most. beautiful beaches it had the prettiest. mountains had the most majestic trees. who has redwoods like we did nobody we. mock your. trees we did we Mo we feel sorry for you. oh look at my white pine my Oak yeah. okay does the word sequoia mean anything. to. you it was just incredible the Bounty of.

it was. insane go up to Big Bear up into the. sieras we would constantly have this. debate because I lived in both northern. and southern California which is better. and then I just deci saided they're both. great and anyone who doesn't live here. is to be. pied in this town where we are now it's. I think it's still the biggest. municipality in Orange County I think. and it was anyway Anaheim Anaheim was a. reflection of the state and of the big. biggest business in the town which was.

Disneyland and Disneyland the purity of. Disneyland when I was a child is like. incomprehensible to young people. now but it was a reflection of what. California was like it was totally clean. not antiseptically clean not hospital. room clean but just clean in the way. that a place is when it's owned by. someone who cares about it and it was. orderly not in some kind of overbearing. fascist way but in the way that every. human desires there was an order to. it and it was wholesome it was legit.

wholesome I'm not that old but I. remember in my like seventh grade class. somebody Whispering about his cousin who. had gotten high in the parking lot at. Disneyland in dun Space Mountain and we. were like. wow wow you were high at. Disneyland dude be careful they don't. allow that at Disneyland okay it's. Disneyland dude I remember thinking that. was totally. shocking I'm S as like a fental. dispenser there now or whatever.

but but at the time that was like. impossible to comprehend I remember. being freaked out by it I've never. getting high at Disneyland they'll. know cuz everyone at Disneyland is like. a really upstanding good person it. wasn't just a theme park it was a. metaphor for California was like a. really good State full of good people. the cops weren't corrupt the LAPD was. like I know it's hard to believe now. everyone makes fun of it but at the time. it was like LAPD they were all like. people who couldn't make it in Hollywood. you know they all look like they were in.

like washed out of the Beach Boys or. something kind of handsome with little. mustaches sir you were speeding okay. there's no chance you'd have to pay the. guy off know it's it's LAPD the whole. state was like. that and it was a reflection of the. people who ran the state Disney was. founded by Walt Disney who was an. American and was a creative genius the. guy who created the art owned the. company the most creative person got the.

richest and that was before an economy. that rewarded lawyers and accountants. and Dei consultants and politicians and. bureaucrats people who lack any. creativity whatsoever who in a fair. country would be painting your house at. best and in fact let me retract that as. someone who spent a summer as a house. painter and learned that cutting and. rolling is actually pretty hard.

there's no chance that Gavin Newsome. could paint your house there's no. chance he. couldn't I can just picture him like. covered in masking tape at L Tex and. being like what how does this. work he yeah he can consume overpriced. wine at The French Laundry that's his. only skill and he can extort money from. you with moral.

blackmail and it's not just California. of course it's not just the United. States it's the entire West but we have. a system designed by people who in a. fair country would have no shot at power. or wealth and so what they have done. systematically is create a system to. give themselves power and wealth at the. expense of people who actually deserve. it which is to say hardworking smart. creative people and Disney is the. perfect metaphor for this so a company. was created by a true artistic genius.

like actually genius who drew the cells. himself who thought of things in his own. brain and brought them to the world and. changed the perception of America around. the world the Disney companies did and. he ran the company and owned it and then. gradually like the state itself Disney. was taken over by lawyers and. accountants and other Bottom Feeders. money worshippers disgusting human. beings who hated. America and the town around.

Disney is still a cool town but it it's. not recognizable in the place it was. when I was a kid and a lot of the state. isn't and so how do you fix that I must. say as someone who spent his life on TV. yapping about you know ideas they sent. their ideas on cable news ideas with you. know quotation marks around them small. eye ideas more reflexes than ideas but. whatever I don't really think this is an. ideological problem in other words I.

don't think you have to be steeped in. Austrian economics to fix a place like. California or a country like America you. need really one thing and that's love. for the people who live. here it's. true a and as the father of four or any. parent in the room can tell you what's. the key to parenthood reading the right. book about. it mastering the right parenting. technique I've never met a sing single. parent in my life who reads a ton of.

parenting books who's a good parent not. one they're all weird and their kids are. weird they have all these theories. stop no you love your kids that's the. key to Parenting and if you love your. kids you're probably not going to be a. perfect parent I certainly wasn't but if. you love them hard enough you'll come. back to the center every time you will. make over time the right decisions about. how to raise your kids if you put your. love for them at the center of the. project I love my child what should I do.

but it's not just. parenting that requires that it's all. forms of. leadership from leadership on the. battlefield the officer for his men in. the corporate environment the CEO for. his employees and in the political. sphere the leader for his people a. leader who loves the people he leads. will not systematically mistreat them he. will instead over time make basically. the right decisions or decisions that. that are in the vicinity of the right.

decisions which is good enough for. me he'll make mistakes cuz we all do but. he won't destroy them they won't wind up. in rehab or wind up living on the street. dying of fenal ODS or crapping on the. sidewalk he won't open the borders to. people who aren't even from here who. break the law flagrantly and then send. the millions of dollars from the people. who work hard legally to give them free. phones and plane tickets and housing. vouchers and free healthcare what. no any more than he would let random.

strangers into his own house to take. food from his own children because he. loves his own children first that's. why and. so the problem that you have and it's. once again for the eighth time. particularly poignant for me as a. product of the state is someone who. really loved it in a totally overbearing. arrogant way is someone who actually may.

or may not have a bumper sticker that. said there's no life EO I5 possible I. had. that it's so insufferable someone should. have beat me up for that I wish someone. had but anyway the point is I really. love the. state. and to see what's happened you just you. fixate on it and those of you who still. live here who haven't called U-Haul yet. I know that you fixate on it and so the. answer is only to find leaders who care. about you. who love you and who will provide the.

basic desires of the human heart and in. case you forgotten what those are here's. what they are. order people hate chaos they don't just. hate chaos intellectually they hate it. viscerally and they have every reason to. ha fact they can't tolerate chaos and. they have every reason to hate it and be. intolerant of it because what is chaos. chaos is the most visible sign not of. disorganization or disorder of EV Vil.

chaos is evil evil brings. chaos what's the first thing God did he. brought order out of what chaos so if. you looking at chaos a chaotic situation. anywhere you were looking at a. manifestation of evil whether the person. creating the chaos knows it or not. that's irrelevant evil is happening in. front of you and it hurts people more. than anything okay people need order and. predictability not fascism Okay order. and predictability it's not wrong to.

want that it's essential to demand it. okay the second thing they want is. safety and cleanliness they don't want. to get shot going to the grocery store. they don't want a home. invasion when their car gets broken into. they want the police to find the person. who did it and punish him and they want. all these things because those are the. main functions of government they're the. reason we have a government if your. government can't even respond to a car. Breakin or an armed robbery or home. invasion or a belligerent mentally ill.

person crapping on the sidewalk in front. of your house that government has no. legitimacy and shouldn't. exist that's the first order of. government to protect you from obvious. threats not from nicotine pouches or. climate. change come on. now from the Mally ill guy crap on the. sidewalk that's the number one threat in. your life that's what scares your. children. and any government I'll resay it who.

can't protect you or doesn't care to. protect you from that threat is not. legitimate and has no right to. exist. period and the third thing to restate. that every government owes its citizens. who are the owners of that government. they're the owners of the government the. government has no. legitimacy in a constitutional republic. apart from the support of. Voters period it has no legitimacy the.

only legitimacy legitimacy it possesses. is your consent I'm for this therefore. it's okay one of the things that means. is if you pass a ballot measure. demanding something they have to give it. to you period and if they don't give it. to you if they get some judge to take it. away from you that's called tyranny just. so you. know sorry I've seen that happen in the. state of California quite a bit and as a. kid when Howard Jarvis when Prop 13 came. through in 78 whatever you think of it. woo go go Howard Jarvis there was no.

thought in the state of California 1978. I was 9 years old I remember this very. well that some judge could be like oh. the majority of Californians wanted. something but I don't want it therefore. they can't have. it I mean that would not have been. allowed in the state because that's. crazy the only thing that matters in. this or any other state is what the. people who live there think that's the. only thing that. matters cuz that's our system of. government right well among the things. you really can't live without are.

antibiotics they are lifesaving get an. infection you need antibiotics or you. could die but one of the things a lot of. us have learned over the last few years. is that most of our antibiotics come. from outside the country so that means. to stay alive many of us are depending. on a supply chain from. China so if you're in a family or people. around you you care about just remember. that supply chain from China could be. the thing keeping them alive what if.

something went wrong with the supply. chain from China well we don't have to. imagine that we just saw that during Co. the lunacy of Co foreign Supply chains. collapsed in some cases leaving American. consumers without products they needed. products as simple as toilet paper. machine parts and potentially. antibiotics so this is something we're. thinking about you're not crazy you're. not some radical prepper to want to have. a steady supply of life-saving medicine. in case something went wrong we spent a. lot of time thinking about this because.

you need. to you need an emergency supply of. course of water food everyone knows that. but also medication and here's the part. you can do right now there's a company. that can do this for you it's called. Jace medical you can get a Jace case. from Jace medical super simple it's a. pack of essential antibiotics to treat a. long list of bacterial illnesses. including UTI respiratory infections. skin infections a lot of other common. potential pretty serious medical. conditions that could threaten you and.

your family if there's ever a supply. chain problem it's worth having that. stuff at home and it's not crazy. expensive in fact it's fast and it's. simple you go to Jed J. aed.com fill out a form that gets. reviewed by a board-certified physician. and your medications get dispensed by a. licensed pharmacy at a fraction of the. regular cost so it's actually cheaper. than. normal and if you want it even cheaper. use the promo code Tucker at checkout. for an extra discount so get prepared.

not just for an emergency but for the. future jal.com promo code Tucker but the. third thing that people want and that is. the Hallmark of any functioning and. happy Society is fairness. fairness even small children understand. when something's unfair you gave my. sister two cookies and you only gave me. one yeah you. laugh that'll affect you for the rest of. your.

life that'll affect the relationship. between siblings more than anything else. mom favors him I don't like him you want. to wreck the relationship between your. children which is the worst thing you. can do to children favor one over the. other because it's unfair and kids have. an acute sense of fairness that never. goes away because it's encoded in who. they are it's in their genes they were. born with it we know when something's. unfair and the most unfair thing you can. do is punish people who are trying their. hardest in following the rules and that.

would include every single person in. this room from the state of. California who is held in contempt and. Loathing by the people who run your. state and maybe it's occurred to you if. you still live here wait a second I'm. not conducting any home invasions I. didn't sneak in here illegally from a. foreign country I pay my freaking taxes. why I'm what CRS do you hate. me I should be getting the you know the. California Medal of Honor. Devin Nome should be kissing my feet in.

the governor's office in. [Applause]. Sacramento thank you dutiful ethical. Californian for making this place better. for not throwing the garbage out of the. window of your car for getting car. insurance for not driving drunk for not. joining a street gang for paying your. taxes for funding this whole grotesque. charade we call the government thank you.

but when the governor of the state of. California and all the little creepy. nameless minions beneath him all the. little you know puppets of the labor. unions who actually run. California tell me if I'm. lying all of those people have total. contempt for the productive creative. dutiful law biding citizens of the state. and so they're moving to Idaho or Texas. or Florida to improve those States and. in so doing they're leaving the graves.

of their ancestors in the greatest State. out of 50 California they're abandoning. the dreams that brought their ancestors. to the state and that dream was based on. fairness the promise that if you do the. right thing you will be rewarded you. will not be. punished they're leaving all of that. behind because a small group of freaks. want to punish them. no sorry. anyway I'll stop with that we have a lot.

more but let me just say I just want to. say I admire you those who have. stayed I admire your. principle I admire your grit your. toughness your perseverance your resolve. I like it here I grew up here and I'm. not leaving I don't care what kind of. freak occupies the governor's. mansion that is such a cool attitude. that's a Pioneer attitude that's the. attitude that drove your ancestors here. in the first place I'm kind of sick of. Cleveland Ohio I mve into La that's why.

they came here that's a cool attitude. and that's the attitude that's keeping. you here and I just want to tell you. from very far away that I admire it so I. want to. introduce we have a surprise guest by. the. [Music]. [Laughter]. way. um but first I want to introduce and. begin a conversation with someone I. really admire F ramas. Swami who.

um who ran for. president in the Republican primary and. um and dropped out endorsed Trump and. has been stumping for Trump as close to. Trump um but I've known him since long. before he got into politics because he. wrote a couple of amazing books and I. talked I interviewed him about the books. and I actually read the books um not. every Cable News host reads the books. I'm just telling you that or any books. ever um or actually can read to be. totally honest but whatever um and I.

don't read all the books but I did read. his books and they were wonderful and. they were wonderful because he actually. thought through what he believed and he. put it all was totally transparent I was. like I used to think this now I think. this here's why and I respect people. like that and I so I I kind of watched. him flower as this political figure and. I heard people say you know he's just. too articulate this can't be real and. there is a kind of bias against people. who are almost like supernaturally. fluent in a language. it's like you're so silver tongue is the.

phrase they use like that can't be real. you got to be selling me something if. you're that fluent I mean I think. everyone kind of feels that way and I. just want to say for the record which is. why I asked him begged him to come. tonight he is real he's totally. sincere maybe they don't want to think. that someone that smart and that well. spoken is actually on the other side. this always used to happen to me like. liberals I know would be especially in. the state of relatives of mine in. California be like you don't really mean.

that come on like I actually really. do well he really means it and so I'm. honored to have him ladies and gentlemen. V. ramaswami. wow love you. guys this pretty. [Applause]. cool this is a real California here I. like this oh yeah this the good.

kind love you. guys oh it's it is the coolest date yeah. oh breaks my heart anyway so glad you're. here this it's a good kind yeah so we we. were talking um we were talking. backstage well I just said that I read. your books oh thank you I appreciate. that I spent so many years in TV selling. other people's books that I'm I'm never. selling anyone's book again and I. wouldn't even bring up your book except. I love it and it's called truths that's.

the new one that's coming out okay so. this is why I'm bringing this up right. now so I said he said I said what have. you been doing I'm writing a book um. it's almost done or it's done what's it. called TRS TRS oh what are the truths. and I said what are the truths and off. the top of his head he listed them and I. just thought it's so great you got to. hear this what are the truths yeah God. is real. there are two.

genders fossil fuels are a requirement. for human. Prosperity reverse racism is. racism an open border is not a. border parents determine the education. of their. children the nuclear family is the. greatest form of governance known to.

mankind capitalism lifts us up from. poverty there are three branches of. government in the United States not. four and the US Constitution is the. strongest and greatest guarantor of. freedom in human. history so there's the 10 I love that. now you don't have to buy the book so so. you start with God is real yeah why so I.

think that's the ultimate truth and you. know I say this in particular I put that. first for a reason because you know a. lot of people in thinking about I ran. for US president it was new to think. about somebody who was not of the. Christian faith who was running for US. president but is a person of deep faith. and I think the beauty of the country is. it was founded by people who believed. that God put them here for a purpose. right this country was founded against. the backdrop of Divine Providence and so. I think part of what's going on in the.

country is that especially young people. people my age and I love a lot of young. people here. too our generation. is so hungry for purpose right now we. are hungry for a cause we're hungry for. meaning we want to be part of something. bigger than ourselves yet we can't even. answer what it means to be an American. but I think part of that hole in our. heart it's what blae Pascal said he's a. famous scientist 400 years ago he said.

that if you have a hold the size of God. in your heart and God does not fill it. something else will instead you think. about wokeism or transgenderism or. climatism or. cism or globalism or zalinskis or. whatever the case may be that's a bad. one but but but you see these things. serially coming up over and over again. they're substitutes for the real thing. and I am a big fan of the Revival of. faith in America not by force the beauty.

of this country is you don't have to if. it if it isn't natural to you but the. Revival of faith in the real thing in. true God and I think if we revive faith. in this country we'd actually be much. more united as a country as well wa it. it's interesting so you you just spent. um one one of the everyone makes fun of. politics and considers politicians. loathesome which they are which I can. confirm that yeah yeah but the one cool. thing I like about k campaigns and is it. does force people who want to hold power.

to go meet a lot of people and to get on. the road and get to a lot of different. places in this vast country and you've. just done that so you said there is a. Revival of Faith did you feel that on. the road absolutely I mean there is a. hunger for even people who are. questioning what their actual beliefs. were and sometimes when you do that you. actually emerge stronger on the other. side of it so I met a lot of people. across the country say you're traveling. in Iowa uh meet a lot of Evangelical. Christians have a fair question ask.

question of can a Hindu be president. that forced me to confront what a lot of. my own beliefs were in a way that I. wouldn't have if you weren't really. pressed on it day to day and I think one. of the traps you can fall into and at. times I would catch myself falling into. as well is you treat conversations as. pattern recognition right so it's like. okay that's where I turn on the auto. script that sounds like the best answer. to this question and I decided halfway. through the campaign I'm not going to do. that I'm going to treat every.

conversation as a unique conversation. probably talk to tens of thousands of. people across this. country and you know I hope I. contributed something but I can tell you. I definitely emerged as a stronger human. being and a stronger person because of. it and you know I think we don't do that. enough in this country anymore is just. you don't have to agree with me on. everything and I have to agree with you. on everything but the more we're able to. just talk openly without a filter about. questions like Faith about what our. actual convictions are about what it. means to be a citizen of this country.

one of the things that I learned is that. this Narrative of national division is. actually a myth I I do believe that and. I'm not saying it's some fake Kumbaya. kind of way that oh we're all United. because we agree on everything because. we obviously don't but I think most. people in the country do share the same. National values in common the idea that. you get to speak your mind or you do or. I do as long as our neighbors gets to in. return the idea that the people we elect.

to run the government ought to be the. ones who actually run the government not. some unelected bureaucrat as a Hired. Hand issuing edicts from on high I think. most people in America agree on these. things or at least 80% do and 20% are. younger than me who are never taught. those ideals in the first place who we. can bring along too and so that was. probably the number one thing I took. away from traveling the country is we. had protest ters at my events often my. rule of thumb was unless they're being.

totally violent and disruptive we'll. give them a mic they get to speak their. mind as long as they sit down and listen. what everybody else has to say and there. were some beautiful thing Beautiful. Moments that came out of that that I. didn't expect during the campaign and so. I just do think in this true way and if. you take away one thing from my own. experience in the campaign it is that. this myth of national division is just. that it is a myth it serves certain. interests of the people who perpet that. myth but if we cut through that I think.

we are actually far more united as a. country than they will sell you and I. think in a few months hopefully in about. two to three months we may be seeing. that on a scale that people may not. expect I I I agree with. that um this is of course everything is. accelerating because of the election. something happened yesterday that you. know it it's getting harder and harder. to be shocked by what the by. Administration does um so much of it is.

unprecedented but something did shock me. uh yesterday where the admin the. Department of Justice so-called which is. a grotesque really parody of a. Department of. Justice uh indicted two. foreigners and named in the indictment. three conservative podcasters internet. figures all Trump supporters as somehow. connected to a foreign. country and immediately their content. started. disappearing from say YouTube they.

pulled a big documentary off YouTube. this morning because the Biden. Administration said that yeah it's it's. beyond belief so basically you have the. Biden administration's Department of. Justice shutting down criticism of the. Biden. Administration and I don't know if I'm. going insane or I'm missing some B is. anyone noticing this how is this allowed. so so there's I'm glad you write this up. there is definitely something really. weird going on here so I don't have any.

facts any different than what other. people have read about this in the last. 24 hours but I do have a gut instinct. about it that's pretty strong and it. comes from just basic pattern. recognition of the last two election. Cycles okay by the way my background is. an entrepreneur I have not been paying. super close attention to American. politics till about 2016 and then much. more in 2020 and then of course I'm in. the thick of it now but let me take. those last two presidential elections so. this myth of and does it exist some sort. of foreign election attempts at. interference of course it does it.

happens worldwide it happens here in the. United States but this idea of Russian. election interference in particular. let's trace the history of that in each. of the last two elections let's go to. 2016 the the allegation of Russian. election interference to support Donald. Trump when you double click on that and. look at what was the actual foreign. election interference there it was. actually us election interference in the. US election through the steel dossier. but laer Through The Narrative of actual.

Russian interference and actually there. was a Russian intermediary to perpetuate. that attempt at election interference. about Trump's Russia collusion hoax. that's in 2016 now we get to 2020 again. domestic election interference is the. systematic suppression of the hunter. Biden laptop story that didn't happen by. Russian companies it didn't happen by. the Russian government it happened by us. social media companies acting at the. direction of deep State actors in the US. government that suppressed probably a. story whose suppression changed the.

outcome of the 2020 presidential. election but again what did they say. they said no no no this was Russian. disinformation so now you're seeing a. pattern in 2016 there's domestic. attempts at election interference but. they run it through a Russian smoke. screen in 2020 there's domestic election. interference but they run it through a. Russian smoke screen so this time around. when I see merri Garland in the. Department of Justice sitting under the. Biden admin ministration suddenly. alleging election interference by the.

Russians I don't have any facts other. than to say my radar goes off and says I. want to know where that election. interference is actually beginning a lot. of those allegations that they were. somehow helping Trump I actually got. curious actually you could make strong. arguments that a lot of these posts or. whatever actually weren't helping Trump. at all but the fact that they called. that Russian election interference again. just suggests to me that this may be. part of a pattern of what we saw 2016. and 2020 well yeah think so I don't.

really buy what they're selling on this. yeah K is losing which she. is she. is she she's losing in the states that. matter Pennsylvania Wisconsin Arizona. it's amazing um so all of a sudden the. other side is being funded by Russia of. all the countries that interfere in our. elections and there are many Russia's at. the bottom of the list okay in terms of. Effectiveness um but it's a little. they're literally going back to the.

Russia Russia Russia well again yeah I. think this is not a super clever group. right I I think that I think the problem. is they are actually a super clever. group I think that this is just the. beginning of a Voli so this one's not. going to land I think the public fool me. once fool me twice shame on me fool me. Thrice you know shame on you some. whatever the expression. is the reality is I think there's going. to be some weird things that happen in. the next two months I think they're. going be some depending on what happens. in the debate so I'm going to the debate.

next week in Philadelphia it's going to. be Tuesday I think it's going to be uh. probably a Donald Trump demol demolition. destruction of the other side but but. don't cheer too much right because I was. at the last one and that's actually in. some ways was a trap it was obviously a. trap right they scheduled the earliest. ever presidential debate in US history. why did they do that it was obvious it. was that they wanted to test Biden as a. final trial balloon and they got a free. option cuz if he did great great they.

turned the race upside down but if Biden. did as poorly as he did they swapped him. out it was something Unthinkable that. became the obvious so I think if we have. another debate SmackDown on Tuesday as I. if I was a betting man I'd predict. that's what we're about to have I also. would predict we're going to have some. very strange things that happen on the. back of that as well and I think that in. some ways the Republican party has just. been so behind on this I'll probably. make some people mad by you know lifting. the curtain on this but last year to.

make the Republican Party debate stage. the final condition is we had to sign. all the candidates Ron McDaniel's. requirement I um had some words to say. that it had a certain you know outcome. there but but she she made a sign a beat. Biden pledge and so this is in July or. August of last year and I said this is. this is dumb this is silly because we're. not going to be running against Joe. Biden so we're going to spend an entire. year of financial political and.

messaging Capital running against a. candidate who is not the actual candid. we're going to run against but it was. the beat Biden pledge that was just the. dogmatic messaging of the Republican. party and what do you know a year and a. half later we've wasted a lot of money a. lot of time a lot of credibility with. the public we even boosted The media's. credibility because they got that last. month where they got to criticize Joe. Biden so now when they're not actually. going after Kamala they still look. evenhanded to the American public. because they went after Democrat most. recently in some ways it was the worst.

of all world and so I think we need to. get better as a movement I think as a. Republican party on staying skeptical on. skating to where the puck is going and I. think ultimately the way we're going to. win this is actually not even by. focusing on kamla that's sort of where. I've landed on this is you know people. say she's a communist or she's you know. a socialist or whatever I think that is. giving her a little too much credit cuz. it assumes she has an ideology I agree. she doesn't have an ideology right she.

she just she just doesn't most people in. California here who know her she's just. another Cog right she's another Cog in a. machine we're not running against a. candidate we are running against a. system and the way we're going to win. this is forget who they put up come if. they make her the president before the. election who knows whatever it is it. doesn't matter if we actually win this. by offering our own vision of who we are. and what we actually stand for right. individual family nation and God beat.

race gender sexuality and climate if we. have the courage to stand for it but. that's how we that's how we protect. ourselves against what I think is going. to be a. complicated complicated couple of months. ahead is what I predict so smart well. how's this for crazy has there ever been. a more volatile time in American. politics not in our lifetimes No One. Alive has ever seen anything like this. but long before things started to really. fall apart the Heritage Foundation saw.

it coming Heritage has pulled together a. coalition of over a 100 right-leaning. groups to develop a comprehensive plan. for day one that would include detailed. policy proposals on the most pressing. issues the big ones securing the Border. controlling inflation cracking down on. Election fraud protecting the rights of. the individual and saving the nation. from being crushed by woke anti-human. ideology the team at Heritage has also. developed a plan to dismantle the Deep. state that keep this nonsense going and. reclaim this nation from the small group.

of technocrats that's broken everything. Herer is also running a training and. vetting program to identify effective. conservatives to serve in the next. Presidential Administration people who. will share your values this country's. values and actually do the job it can't. just be the same pool of discredited. people from Washington populating every. Administration herriage has a Long Head. Start and they put in a lot of work. already but they need your support to. finish the job and to support the. incoming president you can go to.

heritage.org Tucker and contribute to. this important work today a lot depends. on it heritage.org. Tucker and I I don't we talked about off. stage I won't for everyone here but what. you're going to do next but I I think. it's fair to predict that you will. remain part of of what you're part of. now which is an effort to save the. country um but I think we're falling for. it for sure the idea that k Harris is. like an actual person I'm sure she can. fog a mirror but beyond.

that she's just a cipher she'll be. whatever you want her to be can I mean. pay her enough she'll be a radical vegan. or anti-circumcision activist or. whatever it doesn't matter she might. even build a wall 100% claim she wants. to. 100% you know she's a kind of sad puppet. clearly unhappy terrified I mean I know. benzo de asip new when I see it and I'm. like that chick's had some anex just. vacant she's afraid she wakes up afraid.

every morning and you can tell the. people who are afraid which is a lot of. people and she's Chief among the fearful. but anyway the Republicans fell for it. the leadership fell for it they're. falling for it now and they also fell. and I hope you'll flesh this out a. little bit they fell for the idea that. the media act independently of the. democratic party yeah I think so I mean. I think that that's an that's a trap we. have repeatedly fallen into over the. last 8 years but I I just think this. idea it's not an accident that you get.

Joe Biden and KL Harris there are a lot. of intelligent people who are believe it. or not intelligent people they have high. IQ brain power they can make their own. decisions they're thinkers who are. Democrats people on the left idogs who. people like you and I might disagree. with but some of whom you and I might. actually be friends with because we. respect them even though we disagree. with them it's not an accident that you. get Joe Biden and then a kamla Harris. and then the next puppet they put up. Biden has cognitive deficits right those. are not a bug they are a feature for the.

people who control him kamla Harris has. a different kind of deficit she has. policy deficits cognitive deficits You. could argue those are also again not a. bug they're a feature for the people who. actually operate the puppet and so I. think that it's going to be a losing. game unless we see ourselves is running. against that system and I think this is. actually going to be let's assume. Victory here right let's let's fast. forward it's not just winning the. election it's actually are we actually.

going to do what conservatives. Republicans when they've governed have. long failed to do I think we fall the. real myth we've fallen into is this trap. of believing that we can reform this. system that we're going to reform the. Deep state that we're going to fire. Christopher Ray or whoever at the top of. the FBI and put in a new Figure Head On. Top that we're going to reform the. bureaucracy and I think that reform is. just a myth right it's impossible we're. not running against it's not that.

Christopher Ray is an individual bad. actor at the top of the FBI he's just. another Cog in the system just like KL. Harris just like Joe Biden and so the. question for us the real test for us I. think Tucker is not going to be the. election in November it is going to be. whether we have the spine to actually. see through and do the hard thing that. we've never done before nobody's done it. no you know Donald Trump in his first. term is the closest we've gotten but. nobody's really stepped up and said no. no no are we actually going to try to. reform and massage this thing to.

incrementally window dress it and. Advance our own goals or are we actually. going to get in there and shut it down. and I think that is the one answer that. will save this country and and I I'm. supporting Donald Trump because I. believe he's he's the man who is going. to be the best suited to get that job. done but the real test comes not in. November but after that to. me I mean I couldn't agree with you more. and I'm thrilled to hear that I I think. I spent 35 years living in Washington so.

I have some appreciation for how rotten. the system is it's so rotten yeah it's. like mindboggling actually um but in. order to shut it down or in order to. make the changes necessary to preserve. the. country you're going to have to actually. ignore the media yeah and why can't. Republicans do that so so I actually met. uh I met Georgia Maloney when she came. to this to the United States not that. long she's a good she's a good leader so. I had a good conversation with her she.

gave me a tactic I'm going to try it you. know if if I'm in the position if I'm if. I'm in a comparable position ever and I. think anybody who's in a comparable. position of leadership to do the same. thing she said she doesn't read the. newspaper she say I couldn't tell you. what's on the front page of the. newspaper I couldn't tell you what's on. television I just talk to people that's. all I need to talk to and then I make. the decisions that actually need to be. made that'd be my recommendation to. every Republican politician I don't. follow it I have to I have to admit I. only pick the this up after my campaign. but if I were to run my campaign again.

if I was to go back in time and do it. again that'd probably be the number one. thing that I would do too you don't need. to watch it you don't need to you could. participate in it you could actually you. know take a hostile interview anybody. wants to but whatever the headline is. whatever the TV commentary is social. media commentary in some way don't even. bother looking at it just talk to those. tens of thousands of people across the. country where you actually learned that. that myth of division that you're fed. the whole thing was false you can just. call the bluff by literally switching it. off and pretending it doesn't exist I.

think it's actually a pretty good tactic. oh I haven't had TV in many years and I. worked in TV you know I don't think a. lot of crack dealers leave it around the. kitchen you know what I mean yeah this. is an ugly product I don't want it in my. house um but you know I totally agree. but it's just interesting even now I. know Republican leaders who probably. pretty well-meaning people who if they. get attacked on Twitter and the New York. Times or if Chuck. Todd um of NBC News I mean it's all like.

a joke but if they say something. critical of the politicians we have to. deal with this why don't just Hoist the. middle finger and laugh I've never. understood we did some of that during. the campaign but well you did for sure. but but I think that and and and you. know I was surprised by what an effect. some of that actually had that was. actually one of probably the unexpected. successes that I did have in my campaign. I only got 8% of the the vote in Iowa. but actually in taking down a lot of the. media and exposing you know a lot of.

that corruption I think that that's. that's important work to continue to do. there's a risk I mean there's always and. here's what I would say we talk about. shutting down the Deep State we talk. about taking on the media here's here's. the honest. truth you're always taking some risk. it's just a question of which risk. you're willing to take so in the context. of speaking back in the context of when. the media is attacking you or you're. confronting a hard truth one risk you. might take is that you're going to be. too filter that you're just going to. take your filter off say too much and.

say something that offends somebody. that's a risk I've done it I've made. that mistake I don't think you've ever. made that mistake but I but I I've made. that. mistake and that's one risk you're. always going to take that risk the other. risk is that you self-censor and you say. that okay because I'm going to offend. somebody I'm actually going to restrict. what I say and think three times before. every utterance I make both of them are. risks his only question is which risk. are you willing to take same thing with. with respect to reforming the government. right I say get in there and shut it. down Fine what does that mean I would.

fire 75 plus% of all federal bureaucrats. on day one shut down the FBI the ATF the. CDC the Department of Education just. shut them the hell down all right but. you're taking I mean just shut it down. now now you're taking a risk right I. mean am I going to tell you that's the. exact perfect amount we need to cut I. can't tell you that you might take. either the risk that you're going to cut. so much fat that you also cut some. muscle. or you're otherwise taking the other. risk that you're not cutting enough fat.

you're eight-headed Hydra you cut one. off it grows right back it's just a. question of which risk you're willing to. take and there's times in American. history where one of those might be the. right risk or the other but right now I. think we live in a moment where the risk. you need to take and it's not just me or. Tucker or Donald Trump or anybody else. the risk every one of you needs to take. is when you're the only person in a room. who believes what you do for God's sake. stand up and say it say it with the. spine don't apologize for your beliefs. say in public what you will say in. private at the dinner table and you.

might offend somebody that's a risk. you're taking but take the risk when we. put Donald Trump back in the White House. hold him or and JD Vance or me or. anybody else who's part of it. accountable to say you said you want to. get in there and actually drain the. swamp and attack the Deep state by God's. sake get in there and actually do it and. you're going to take a risk is it going. to be perfect there's going to be some. bumps along the way but that's just the. risk that we choose to take and so. that's kind of where I land on this is. It's not that I'm giving you some. perfect answer it's just that that's the.

risk that I believe we need to take and. I'm willing to take and you you well you. have taken that risk and I just have to. ask sorry that there are people watching. but I'm going to anyway what effect has. that had on your personal life your. friendships your family because people. don't say what they really think because. they worry about the cost what's it been. for. you yeah I mean I think so it's been. different stages of it okay. so initially. so I I'll tell you this there a lot of. people in the campaign there's there's a.

lot of things that I would do. differently too so a lot of people who. worked for me in past companies I've LED. for example or close friends one of. their frustrations that they've shared. with me now the six eight months since. is is everybody got to see you as the. fighter that's great but that's not the. side of you that we know there's more of. you than that and the risk you're taking. there. is my philosophy in the campaign was if. somebody hits you you hit them back 10. times harder I don't care if you're a. republican Democrat that's how we're. going to run those and and at some point.

you that's the way you got to you got to. proceed in the first step. but I also preach to myself what I would. teach my two sons is that the number one. person who's most responsible for. whether or not you achieve your goal. it's not the only Factor but the number. one factor of whether or not you achieve. your goal is actually you and I set out. to achieve a goal last year I didn't. achieve it and I think that I could. blame media I could blame a lot of the. Consultants I could blame a lot of. factors along the way but you know at.

the end of the day I think that there's. a lot that I would probably do. differently as well to make sure that. I'm able to allow the people of the. country to see the whole of who I am and. that's one of the hardest things to do. as a politician because you ask about. friends and family that's the thing that. probably hurt my family the most is not. that they couldn't deal with the insults. or the the dirtiness of partisan. politics but the sense that there's. someone one they know but the impression. that the public is given is of a very.

different person that disconnect was. probably the thing that was hardest on. my wife and and probably some of my. closest friends but you know they're. tough they can handle it and they were. still supportive of what we did and it's. a process that bruises you a little bit. there's some sort of wounds and scars. that never fully heal but I got to thank. my family who was I got a three-year-old. and now four-year-old son he was three. during the campaign came with me to. every campaign event my wife is a. surgeon who did not actually sacrifice.

seeing one patient over the course of. the year that she was supposed to see. and still traveled with me for the. entire campaign and during that pain and. you know what those are the you know. they're the people that got me through. it as well I judge Men by their wives. and I liked you much more after meeting. her I have to say um that's fair no I do. I do I'm very judgy that way. um was there any politic so you came. from business you had a really. successful business career and then you.

became so distressed after writing these. books about what was happening in. America that you want up running for. president but you weren't a politician. you had contempt for politicians were. there any you met who you were impressed. by yeah a good number. actually I'm actually I say this not in. some sort of like large scale flattery. but I actually have been more impressed. by Donald Trump The more I've actually. gotten to know him and I say that. because he's also somebody who I know. how hard it was for me to sort.

of make the trth me I lived a good life. Donald Trump lived a good life but to be. able to lay that down and actually say. no no no this is my purpose in calling. I'm not going to stop at anything I. probably wouldn't have run for president. if he hadn't done it first so I got to. give credit where credit's due there I. think when I think about other other. people who I respect I like a guy like. take a Rand Paul or Thomas Massie right. guys. who that probably the ones who get. closest to that Georgia Maloney model of.

like not giving a crap about what the. Press has to say but they're actually. just going to step up and say it anyway. I've only gotten to know Thomas Massie a. little bit more recently but ran Paul. have gotten to know over the course of. the last couple of years and his father. Ron Paul I would give even greater. credit to for blazing that trail so yeah. there there's a longer list of others I. could I could probably give you but uh. not that much longer but but I would say. there's a handful of people that that. gave me you know real inspiration that.

somebody with conviction that doesn't. compromise on it can still drive change. and those would be some of the guys I'd. give you I strongly agree with you I've. spent my whole life really despising. politicians not just on principal but. also. personally um as. people and I feel that way about most of. them still with a lot of evidence but I. have to say I look around and there are. more people I admire I can't believe I'm. saying this in politics then really at. any time I can remember and I think.

there's so much pressure downward. exerted pressure on all of us to obey to. repeat the lies to get in line that the. people who refuse to do that are. extraordinary people and our our special. guest tonight we I'm about to ask on is. one of those people and he's in the rare. position of typically you know a public. career begins and people are so. impressed by the person and then they. see his flaws and he falls from Grace. the person we're about to invite on is.

the only person I've ever met who spent. I don't know 20 years being denounced. pretty much every week by every single. news organization in the world as a. dangerous mentally ill. lunatic making totally unsupported. anti-scientific. claims about totally safe medical. products. and this man in the face of opposition.

that no politician I've ever seen ever. seen including from within his own tribe. and family he persisted in saying what. he thought was. true and I've known this man for a while. and I've admired him for a long time and. what's amazing is to wake up in a. country that in some ways is not getting. better but to wake up in a country that. all of a sudden has stopped mocking this. man. as a crazy person and it started to. realize that the lone Brave voice may.

have been right all. along and so it's an honor to introduce. Robert F Kennedy. Jr so we we had this conversation last. week that I've had a lot of. conversations with a lot of people on. camera but the conversation that we had. or the things that you said to me last. week I will not forget. and it's from an Outsiders perspective. it seems.

like your public career has not only not. ended in some way it's beginning in a. new way in a really powerful way and you. described um you described. three issues that are Central not just. to your politics but to your to your. life um and if I'm remembering correctly. I think they. were slowing down the number of people. who are killed abroad in Wars okay we. have a lot of wars. opposing the pointless. ones um protecting the natural.

environment that God created for us to. enjoy nature and protecting the health. of. children and I think those are the three. things you mentioned I'm wondering if. you could just expand on that love you. [Applause].

you I I got. into my career was most of it was spent. in Environmental. Protection and I went to work in 1983. for a blue collar Coalition of. commercial and recreational. fishermen who mobilized to reclaim the. Hudson River from its. polluters and they were people um who. were. capitalists they came from an industry.

that was 350 years. old it's the oldest commercial fishery. in North America on the Hudson River and. they saw this industry. destroyed not because it had any. intrinsic. flaws but because a large company the. general electric. company had been able to use its. political clout to do something illegal. which was to dump its toxic pcbs into. the Hudson.

River and I when I first started working. on the Hudson there were 2500 families. working on the river. enriching our culture our pallet our. economy um the life of the Hudson Valley. connecting us to our. history to the to our. Landscapes um to the waterways and the. 10 20,000 Generations of human beings. that were here before there were laptops. they were using the same fishing methods.

that were taught by the alonquin Indians. to the original Dutch settlers and New. Amsterdam and then passed down through. the. generations and all of a sudden they. couldn't fish anymore because there were. plenty of fish in the Hudson but they. were loaded with toxic pcbs and the. state of New York said you can't eat. them and they recognized. that you know these were capitalists. they were people small business.

people and they realized that that. government was in cahoots with the. polluters and that if they wanted to. reclaim the river for themselves they. were going to have to do it themselves. they went to the government agencies the. core of engineers the conservation. department the Coast Guard and they were. given the bums rush they were told these. are important people we can't force them. to comply with the law and they came to.

the conclusion the only way they were. going to restore the river is if they. confronted the polluters. directly they found an ancient. navigational statute called the 1888. rivers and harbors act that allowed. people to prosecute polluters and then. collect. bounties and they started suing. polluters they hired me as their. attorney in. 1984 we we brought cases against over. 500 successful cases on the.

Hudson we forc belters to spend about 55. billion dollars remediating the river. and today the Hudson is the richest. waterway in the North. Atlantic. and my experience was was different than. a lot of. environmentalists um who have a kind of. a look but don't much my experience was. about people who their communities were.

absolutely the people who were part of. that commercial. fishery it it dictated the purity of the. Hudsons the abundance of the fishery. dictated their livelihoods their. property values their recreational. values it was their social safety net if. you you know if you lost your job you. could still fish you could feed your. family and that was something that the. state of New York the constitution of. the state says the people the state own.

the rivers they own the waterways the. state they're not owned by the. conservation department they're not. owned by the General Electric Company. they're not owned by the big polluters. they're owned by the people everybody. has a right to use. them and nobody can use them in a way. that will diminish or injure their use. and enjoyment by others every child in. New York. has an a constitutional right to throw a. plug into the river and bring out a.

stripe bass and bring it home and feed. family that that was the essential you. know that lesson that I learned there. about agency. capture then allowed me to kind of. understand have a model or a. blueprint for the things that I saw when. I started studying the pharmaceutical. industry.

and and so those are critical issues the. other is I came into the you know this. campaign three major issues one was the. sensorship and you and I feel the same. way that any government that can silence. its critics has the has a license for. any kind of atrocity.

and can I just repeat that any. government that can silence its critics. has a license for any kind of atrocity. right put that on your refrigerator cuz. that's. true and you know Hamilton Adams and. Madison said that we put the freedom of. speech in the First Amendment because. all the other Bill rights are dependent. on it and sure enough when the. government found out discovered that it.

could censor our speech in early. 2020 silenced doctors silenced mothers. silenced people who were uh you know. people. scientists who were saying wait there. are other alternatives to what we're. what you're doing a lockdowns aren't. going to work the mass have no signs. behind them the social. distancing as no science those people. were. silenc they were marginalized they were. vilified they were. demonized and as soon as the government.

figured out that it could get away with. that it went after all of our other. constitutional rights the first thing it. did is it it went after the other leg of. the First Amendment which is freedom of. religion it closed every Church in our. country for a year with no scientific. citation it went after the third leg of. the First Amendment which is freedom of. assembly. with these very bizarre social. distancing regulations that again they.

now admit were not. science-based they went after then the. Fifth Amendment which is property rights. they closed 3.3 million businesses with. no doe process no just. compensation no scientific citation no. notice and comment rule making no public. hearings all the things that I've been. suing governments and Corporation ations. for for 40 years all the indicaa of.

democracy that. [Applause]. are that that government officials have. to go through before they deprive us of. Rights and none of that happened and. they went after the Seventh Amendment. which B jury which which the seventh. amendment gives has the right to jury. trials it's the seventh amendment is. very simple it says no American shall be.

denied the right of a trial before a. jury of their peers in case their. controversies exceeding. $25 that's all it says there's no. pandemic. exception and by the. way the framers of the Constitution knew. all about. pandemics there were two epidemics. during the Revolutionary War one of them. a malaria epidemic that decimated the. armies of Virginia and then a small poox.

epidemic that decimated the armies of. New England at the very time when. Benedict Arnold who was our greatest. General conquered Montreal so we were in. the inner city of Montreal we controlled. Montreal which meant we controlled. Canada and he had to withdraw his troops. because he could not hold the city cuz. so many of his troops were down in a. small pox otherwise Canada today would. be part of the United States but for. that smallpox. epidemic and the framers all knew that.

when they gathered 10 years later N9. years later Philadelphia to ratify the. Bill of. Rights between the end of the Revolution. and the ratification of the Bill of. Rights in. 1792 there were epidemics in every city. that killed tens of thousands of people. malaria epidemics smallpox yellow fever. typhus Ty void Coler so they all knew. about epidemics yet they did not put an.

epidemic exception in the Constitution. they wrote that document for Hard. [Applause]. Times what one of the. things you bring that up Bobby and I. think one of the things we often fall. into the Trap of in an election year is. to see let's take the most important of. those amendments the First Amendment. through a partisan lens do we have a. Democratic party that has been using. social media companies to silence speech.

through the back door that they could. not through the front door absolutely we. have is that somebody we need something. we need to hold them accountable for. absolutely but I but I think that if. we're to and this is one of the things I. love about you Tucker is you're willing. to challenge people 360 Dees I don't. care if you're a Republican or not is. you know I had a conversations with a. number of Republicans in the last week. who are railing appropriately against. Brazil for its Banning of X which is.

preposterous actually this is a major. Western supposedly Allied Nation the. very people who claim that we want to. stand for human rights and democracy. abroad have nothing to say when it comes. to Brazil Banning a social media. platform but then I challenge some of. these same people because I know what. their views are in this question to say. gee it seems sounds like a pretty bad. idea for a government of a supposedly. free country that just bans outright a. social media platform because they don't. like the way that it operates and here's.

the part where we challenge our own. people that's exactly what the US. government has done with respect to a. platform that I don't love that much I. don't like it I don't like many aspects. of it all Tik Tok but I do think that we. live in one of these moments where the. trap in an election year this is one of. the things I loved about your candidacy. Bobby leaving the Democratic party to. run as an independent allowed you to do. what more of us in either party need to. be doing is question the orthodoxies of. both parties and go back to First.

principles of what's in the US. Constitution and you got to have the. same shoe fit the other foot whether. you're a Democrat or Republican and. that's one of the things I loved about. the way you ran your campaign. man thank you that I saw vice president. Harris this week I gave a a statement. where she said that um she said two. things she said one one that that Elon. Musk better watch out.

because if because if he. abused free speech on Twitter that he. would get that privilege taken away from. him not a privilege. yeah. oh and it isn't a privilege as you know. it's a right and and she. said he gave a press conference in which. she said that these companies need to be. punished for putting disinformation and.

misinformation and hate speech up on the. internet and uh the thing is with the. and and and vice president candidate um. wals said the First Amendment does not. protect disinformation and. misinformation. but but that's not right the first. amendment protects. disinformation and it protects.

misinformation and it protects lies it. protects all speech it was not. written for the speech that we all want. to hear it was written to protect a. speech that nobody wants to hear and it. [Applause]. was and. we have uh a Democratic party the party. I grew up in and the word liberal is a.

derivative from of the of a the term for. free speech so that was the central. core of this party when I was growing up. my. father my uncle loved this country so. much because of the they love the the. freedom to debate have. conversations a free. this this idea that the the free flow of.

information was the was the sunlight it. was the soil it was the it was the water. for democracy and without it democracy. would wither and die they knew that oh I. have a case right now against the Biden. Administration and I was just granted an. injunction in the federal. courts Kennedy versus Biden and judge. doie the federal judge in that decision. wrote in the earlier decision he wrote. 155 page decision that details what we.

now know about the Biden White House's. censorship. program and what doie details in this is. that 37 hours after he took the oath of. office swearing to uphold the. Constitution which is includes the First. Amendment hean opened up a portal and. ordered the social media companies. Facebook Instagram YouTube.

Twitter to begin censoring his political. critics and on medical information but. also other information as well including. crit criticism the Ukraine. war and I was the first person that they. began that they ordered Facebook to. censor Facebook actually pushed back at. one. point and said you know they they. Facebook complied and took down my. entire Instagram account with almost a. million. followers but they couldn't find a.

single factual misstatement error on my. Instagram account and Facebook during. the email exchange which we now have. pushes back at one point and. says this is actually not factually. erroneous and so they had to coin a new. word which was Mal. information which is information. factual assertions that are technically.

correct but are nevertheless. inconvenient for the. government and they ordered Facebook to. to censor misinformation disinformation. and Mal. information so that portal which they. open they the Biden White House turned. over to the FBI to manage so you have. the FBI participating in the censorship. ship of American. citizens engaging in political speech.

the FBI then invited the. CIA CA which is a group that you may not. have heard of but it is the center of. the censorship industrial. complex the. DHS the IRS which I don't know what they. were. censoring and uh an NIH CDC and FDA. to participate in this censorship. project and I I now have an injunction.

against the Biden White House from doing. that to me. [Applause]. anymore but is troubling to me for the. very reason you V just mentioned about. what happened in. Brazil and Tucker you and I talk about. this we're seeing an emergence now of to. tarianism in all the Western democracies. like nothing that I could have ever. imagined Europe no longer has free.

speech Europe has uh is now the European. Union is officially censoring. information on the internet and you know. the the head of the the European. commission a man named tyri. Bretton recently sent a letter to Elan M. saying that if he aired an unedited. version a live live interview with. President Trump on. X that he would be fine as much as 6% of.

the value of the. company and and then France a week. later. arrest pav dero when he land the the. founder of. telegram when he lands on a gas stop a. fuel stop. in. France this is particularly alarming. because France had as as.

robust a a passion and tradition for. free speech as we had in this country. during the American Revol or during the. French Revolution. 1789 the French Republic adopted all of. these very very strong laws guaranteeing. freedom of speech and then in the 1880s. they passed another slew of laws again. protecting free speech and they guarded. that and nurtured that as much as we did. in this country as much as any country. in the world so to see France do this.

and and by the way there's no reason for. them to arrest him because he's a. citizen of abui France has a um a an. extradition agreement with Abu Dhabi so. they could exite him but furthermore the. European Union already is censoring. content so they went an extra step to. arrest and punish this person and put. him in prison to send a message to all.

of us that you know about who's in. charge and that is terrifying to me I. have so many Democratic. friends know Jimmy door was on here. earlier. fantastic and he was talking about. January 6 and what I say is people broke. the law on January 6 if you broke the. law you should be punished. what was the Republic threatened on. January 6th was right and even if if if.

even you know if a building was burned. down it's not the end of the Republic it. is not and you have the US military. there you have these. agencies we have institutions in our. country that are still functioning we. have a congress. Etc that would resist the violent. overthrow of an American government and. I don't think we were close to a violent. overthrow of the American. government.

but those attacks on Free Speech to me. are a genuine. existential threat to democracy and the. Republic amen so the question is. you I I think you've correctly described. and I hope you will say it every time. you speak publicly and I I hope to do. the same. that we're watching the transformation. of the Free World into a totalitarian.

system I don't think that's an. overstatement and so the questions for. each of you start with you. vake how do we stop that because if we. don't then we're done yeah so I um I. agree with everything Bobby said I think. there's two steps to stopping it that I. want to highlight though I do worry. about what's happening in England I do. what's worry worry about what's. happening in Brazil and France and other. Allied supposedly free Nations but I.

worry most about when it's happening. right here at home in the United States. of America and so the best step to. stopping the rise of this. authoritarianism around the world is to. first stop it permanently here in the. United States of America and I do think. that that. is especially important even for the. world because as as much as you you. correctly laid out France's history even. if you look at even France but let alone. the other countries none of those other.

countries put the First Amendment first. right so we can preach to other. countries about their failure to respect. Free Speech but our whole national. identity like who we are as Americans. the existence of this country the fact. that we all call ourselves American that. only means something in reference to our. actual rights that we have given the. people of this country since 1776 so it. goes to the heart of our own national. identity itself so the first thing I. would say tucker is yes are we seeing it. around the world yes but fixing the.

problem starts right here at home the. second thing I would. say this is the harder part is that as. much as the three of us here and we're. in lock step alignment on being free. speech absolutists on this stage as much. as we can point our finger at the. government and its overreach of working. with corporations and working through. backdoor government regulation and. backdoor action to Express in silent. speech that only works if you have a.

population that is willing to comply. okay and I think that there's another. half of this problem that if we're being. really honest with ourselves we have to. talk about which is what is it inside. each of. us that makes us as so many are want to. bend the knee to that new regime and we. can complain about the regime all we. want we're missing the other half of the. problem unless we also fill that void. that causes people to bend that knee. right if you don't pledge allegiance to.

the American flag you're going to pledge. allegiance to a different flag instead. if you don't believe in God you're going. to believe in a new false idol instead. and so I think that that's the harder. part we need to fix in this country is. that Revival of purpose and meaning and. grounding ourselves in our identity As. Americans and I think if we do if we get. that part right if we as a citizenry we. as individuals say no no no nobody's. going to tell me or shame me or threaten. me to do anything other than express my. opinion and tell you who I am and what I. believe then I think the government part.

will actually solve itself along with it. and so some of that's not just on the. government it's on us and they put the. Second Amendment after the first. amendment for a reason it's the one that. puts a teeth into all of the others and. that too is part of what our founding. fathers envisioned since 1776 that's. what I. think Bobby are you are you hopeful that. the tide of totalitarian can be turned. and if so. how I think it all uh depends on this.

election is I don't think that and I you. know I try not. to. um bad mouth other candidates CU I know. I just I I think you know. my Approach is to try to dampen the. vitriol and the anger and the the hatred. I think we have to stop hating each. other. but I don't from the from the statements.

that comml Harris. makes and that her vice president. makes I don't think they have a have a. clear vision of what the country is. supposed to look like I don't think they. understand the first amendment I don't. think they understand the. Constitution I saw kamla you know at the. convention and she gave a speech that. was very very bellicose and belligerent. it was like it was a kind of speech that. was written by Neons and the.

CIA they had a they the first time in. history they had a CIA former director. speaking right before her Leon petta and. military people speaking at the. Democratic. Convention democratic convention was a. you know was a Democrat were the. anti-war party they were the pro. Constitution party they were the party. that was against Wall Street and against. and and representing the little guys the.

cops the. firefighters Union and labor people and. I talked to you about this on the. show last week in the 2020. election roughly 50% of the people in. this. country voted for Donald Trump and but. that group that voted for Donald Trump. represented 30 % of the wealth in our. country the 50% of the people that voted. for Joe Biden represented 70% of the.

wealth there's been an inversion now. where the Republican party has become. the party of the Common Man of working. people of the middle. class. and the Democratic party has become the. party of Wall Street of the military. industrial complex a big Pharma big. agriculture um big big Tech the big. banking.

systems and all of the what you know. what Donald Trump calls the Deep state. which is this this web of financial. interest that not is not necessarily a. little. conspiracy but it's a conspiracy of. self-interest that functions together in. tandem to shift wealth upward to clamp. down totalitarian controls and transform. this country from the world's exemplary. democracy into a uh a corporate.

kleptocracy and a very very oppressive. oligarchical system the kind of. system and we fought a revolution to. overthrow in. 1776. wow bless you for saying that okay I. have a I have a final question for for. each of you and it's one of the reasons. that. I'm fascinated by you both respect you. both and I'm grateful that you're here. neither one of you needs to be doing.

this you both just ran you both dropped. out you both kept going again you're not. doing it for the money you're not doing. it for the agulation the media hates you. both doesn't make your life no it's true. doesn't make your life less complicated. it's. incredibly tiring and in some points. tiresome but you persist both why V. gratitude I think that my parents scamed.

this country with no money 40 years ago. and in a single generation what have I. found in multi-billion dollar companies. my wife lived the American dream we're. raising two boys in Ohio thankfully God. with God's blessings healthfully and. happily it is my sense of gratitude to. this country to have made possible what. my parents or Me growing Up would have. never imagined was possible and you know. what I I uh I've been given a lot of. thought to this idea of obviously we say.

it lot making America great again and. you know of course there's a nostalgia. in that right the country that my. parents came into we we talk about the. Melting Pot back in the 1990s this. notion of assimilating into one country. which had a common identity that's now. become a microaggression so there's. certain elements of what we missed from. the 1990s the idea that the best person. gets the job regardless of their skin. color or the idea that you know what you. get to speak your mind as long as I get.

to in return these basic quaint ideas we. want to bring that back. but for me I think that's not good. enough actually I think that we in some. ways part of America isn't just making. America great again it's I think this is. what Donald Trump means it when this. second time around you can hear it. between the lines of what he says it's. what moves me too is I want to make. America greater than it's ever been. before. actually I think our best days as a. country can still actually be ahead of.

us and as a relatively young person you. know I hope my best days are still ahead. of me I don't take that for granted. every day is a blessing and if we wake. up tomorrow that's a gift too but I hope. my best days are ahead of me and I do. think it's also going to take some. people from the Next Generation to make. a country whose best days are ahead of. us too and so I don't know what form. that's going to take for me in the next. step but whatever it is we're going to. keep going and each play our part and uh.

if we each do I think that not in some. fake politician way but in a true way I. think we are going to make America. greater than it's ever been before and. that's what we're shooting for in. November thank. you Bobby it has been a long slog for. you and you. are more energetic and energized than. ever it seems to me why are you doing. this. well I I talked to you a moment ago. about what I see as a Devolution of. American democracy and how it's turning.

into something that is um that is I I I. would describe as a totalitarian. system and I see because of what I've. been doing for 20 years working on. chronic disease. issues and what I did for 20 years. before that working on environmental. issues I see how these Powers these. these economic aggre. ation um Can commoditize everything that. they commoditize the water they.

commoditize they steal it from the. public they they turn it in when General. electri dump pcbs in the Hudson it was. privatizing all the fish in the Hudson. and turning them into its own private. property that they privatize our. Landscapes the purple mountains. majesty and then when I started fighting. on public health issues I saw how. they're privatizing our children they're. literally stealing their. health we. have we have in this country now the.

sickest children in the world we have. the highest chronic. disease uh burden of Any Nation on earth. when my uncle was President we were. spending we we had 6% of Americans had. chronic. disease today almost 60% to and when my. uncle was President I was a boy we SP. zero on chronic disease in this country. today we spend 4.3 trillion and that. money is going.

upward into the pockets of certain. people and mainly it's the. pharmaceutical industry the the the. most the the mo the the most valuable. asset in America today is a sick child. is if you can get a child sick when. they're very young and get them. dependent on those zic and adero and. insulin and and seizure medication you.

have now a client for life that is. spending is generating thousands of. dollars potentially a. week in revenue for these interests and. so I see how they're commoditizing. everything they're stealing everything. we. value and they're ultimately that comes. from them being able to overrun our. constitutional rights and I saw it. during. covid I saw the whole thing in in. miniature you know compressed time.

exactly what they're up. to and I remember in 2020 in August I. was in. Berlin I was giving a speech to 1.3. million people who had come from all. over Europe it was like Woodstock but. for for political freedom because they. saw what was happening with these. mandates. it came from every nation in Europe to. protest them and I was I gave a. speech I ran into an NBC film crew there.

and they were all wearing. masks and they said to me why aren't you. wearing a mask you're in this big crowd. shaking hands aren't you scared of of. dying and I said there's things that. scare me a lot more than. dying and. and they. said like what and I said like losing my. constitutional rights like.

having like having my. children grow up in an America where. they cannot speak freely and criticize. their political leaders and. I we had a whole. generation in 17. 76 of people of men and women who gave. their fortunes they gave their property.

they gave their. status and their lives to giving us this. constitution to giving us this. incredible. gift and we became the template for the. rest of the world in 1776 we were the. only democracy on Earth by 1865 there. were five by the time my uncle was. President about 130 and by the end of.

the 1960s there were 190 all based on. the American model so we truly. were the exemplary democracy we were the. hope the light for the whole. world. and you know today we've lost our we've. lost our role as a model nobody wants. the system we have. uh We've Lo we're no longer a moral. Authority we've eroded this through this.

Dynamic and I you know I don't want that. for my children I want my children to. grow up with a hope with a love for this. country that I had I'll say one of the. thing. and in in 2013 there was a poll. where they asked Young Americans under. the age of 35 are you proud to be an. American 85% said yes the same poll.

taken six months ago 177% said. yes we have a whole generation that's. lost their pride in being an American. citizen and they've lost hope for their. own. Futures and we had a generation in. 1776 20,000 of them. died a huge number it' be like a million. people. today to give us our Constitution and.

you know they they said to us that every. generation must water the tree of. Liberty with its own blood if you're. going to hold on to. this. [Applause]. so it's not something that I want to do. I I have a really good life and I had a. and I had a great family that loved me I. still have a a nuclear family that loves.

me um. but and I have a big big family now. [Applause]. too but I you know I didn't I really I. didn't feel like I had a choice I felt. like I had I have to do do this the same. reason people left their homes in. 1776 to do something for an idea and I.

want to keep that idea for my. kids well God bless you for that and God. bless you be what an amazing experience. a wonderful experience this has been. thank you and thank you. [Music]. [Applause]. [Music]. the big tech companies censor our. content I hate to tell you that it's.
