Speaker 1 (00:09):
So I say things occasionally that make people angry. I
guess that's just part of doing television and radio for
a living. It's no big deal. But there's one thing
I say that makes people angry a lot people on
our side. I'm not talking about the Communists. I don't
care about that, but I'll say it again, and I
really genuinely mean it. We need the Democrat Party to reform. Now,
(00:33):
when I say it, I get responses like who cares
about them? Or no, we just have to defeat them,
And Okay, I understand the sentiment. I really genuinely do.
But as I've said many, many, many, many many times before,
I love my country. My interest is not in Republicanism.
My interest is in the United States of America growing
and prospering and being here for my grandkids and their
(00:56):
grandkids and their grandkids after them. That's how much I
love my country. I am interested in this country lasting
five hundred more years, a thousand more years. That's what
I want. And because I want that, I want the
Democrat Party to reform, because the United States of America
(01:16):
cannot survive unless it does what this modern Democrat Party is.
There's always been differences between Republicans and Democrats. I acknowledge
that I'm not naive, but for the longest time there
was at least a strain of patriotism inside of both parties,
and the Republican Party, as much as I rag on them,
as much as I scream about them, at least they're
(01:38):
not openly nakedly trying to burn the country down. We
cannot survive for my grandkids, grandkids, we can't survive another
five hundred years. If one of the two major political
parties just wants to burn the place down, what do
you think about it? Just think about the campaign they
just ran, actually just had that big election. Think about
(02:00):
the campaign they ran. Think about the main issue you
heard them pound over and over and over again. We're
talking about America, the people, the border, how people are living.
And this is all we got from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
What is the greatest national security threat to the United States?
It's Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represented extremism that threatens
the very foundations of our republic.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Donald Trump cannot be president again.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
He's excessent to threat to democracy.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Look are they a threat to democracy?
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Are they going to take our rights away?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Are they going to put people's lives in danger.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yes, we have to defeat.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
A person who is a threat to our democracy of
the kind that we have not seen.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Trump is an enemy of the United States.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Having Trump not only have had the codes, but now
having the classified information for Americans and being able to
put that out and share it in his resort with
anyone and everyone who comes through should be terrifying to
all Americans. And he needs to be shot. Stop MAGA
in general.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
They are threats to us domestically.
Speaker 8 (03:08):
He is destructive to our democracy, and he has to
be He has to be eliminated.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
They're not about anything, certainly, not about you, anything you
care about at all. It's all these anti Trump political
phrases that don't really mean anything threat to democracy. And
we remember, we should not forget how they just govern
for four years. Those savages tore through this country as
fast as they could through the border open, brought as
(03:40):
many rapists into the country as they could, handed out
trillions of dollars to their communist friends domestically and foreign wise.
And doesn't matter how good how well Trump does for
the next four years. He can't put together everything they
destroyed in four because you cannot build as fast as
you can destroy. The Democrat Party right now is flailing
(04:03):
and they're lost, and we should be happy about that.
We're going to talk about the why a lot tonight,
but just know on the back end of that, we
need them. We need them to change. I'm never going
to be a Democrat, but we can't have this without end.
We can't have every time they take over, the burning
of American We simply can't. But the good news is
(04:26):
they are on the outs. The American people watched with
horror at what they did for four years and they
rejected them firmly at the ballot box. Are they going
to wake up? Are they going to recover? They about
to turn things around. We'll talk about that tonight and
all that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right.
We have a great show for you.
Speaker 9 (04:45):
Hang on, who do you see in the Democratic Party
as a possibility for twenty eight because, as we know,
(05:06):
these dates come at us faster than you sometimes anticipate.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It's deep and look, I'm gonna say it, I'm biased
towards the Governor's and there's a bunch of them out
there doing the work. But look, there's people that I'm unabashed.
I'm a big fan of Pee Bootageitch. I think he
talks about it. I don't know what Vice President Harris
is going to do, but I think she's got a
lot to offer.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Folks.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Would you run for president? Well, I had a friend
Telly never turned down a job you haven't been offered.
If I think I could offer something, or if there's
a piece there that would do it, I would certainly
consider that. I'm also, though not arrogant enough to believe
there's a lot of people that can do this. And
by the time we get to twenty twenty eight, what
that skill set to do? What looks like we need
to coalesce behind that person, whoever it is, and so I'll,
(05:49):
you know, if it would be that might have the
skill set, I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I'm I'm dumbfounded. I just can't figure out. I can't
figure out how they came apart so quickly when you
think back to Barack Obama, Like I already said, they
had it all and now it's Budajet and dum again
joining me now. Jeffrey Tucker, founder and President at the
Brownstone Institute. Jeffrey, look, obviously, I'm very biased. I'm a partisan.
(06:21):
I'm not a journalist. I'm an extremely biased person, so
I'm always going to look on in horror at the
potential field of the other side. But they're just not popular.
I mean, no matter what my thoughts are, love them
or hate them. I mean, I guess you, maybe Shapiro
or somebody. What happened to them after Barack Obama.
Speaker 10 (06:41):
Something Well. I think the major thing is that the
deep state was exposed, the administrative deep state was exposed,
and the DNC was revealed as nothing other than a
cosmetic sort of veneer for it. And that would explain
everything that's happened essentially over the last five years, if
not longer.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And it's a little bit shocking to suddenly.
Speaker 10 (07:03):
Realize that one of the political parties in America is
nothing other than a mouthpiece for unfireable bureaucrats. Know, deep
corporate interests of all the sort of permanent stakeholders of
the entire ruling class of the American if not global regime,
(07:23):
are residing within the DNC, And that's a shocking thing.
We like to think of our political parties as independent
and loyal to their voters, but that apparently is not
true with the DNC, and so something that's going to
have going to have to happen to fix this party up,
because the word is out. I mean, like we're no
(07:43):
longer confused about this. I just want to remind you
that it was just not even two years ago, or
maybe it was much sooner than that, that RFK decided
that he would throw his hat into the ring and
expect that maybe the Democrat grassroots would support him to
(08:06):
replace Biden. That was the original idea of his campaign
when he ran, because he was under the impression that
many many Democrats would favor his political priorities of giving
government back to the people and cleaning up the public
spaces and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
That was his theory, and it was earnest.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
I mean, he thought, well, we'll have an open primary
and then I'll compete, you know, as politics always are,
and we'll get rid of this crazy crowd that's taken
over the DNC. That it was an earnest effort on
his part. But of course he very quickly realized within
a few weeks of having declared that there would be
(08:49):
no open primary, that there was a cartel that ran
the party that he could never reach the base. The
base would be disempowered, they would never have a chance
to vote for him at all. The fix was in
from the very beginning, and that was a little bit
heartbreaking to him, I would say, as a sort of
(09:10):
sign of a long political family that had the most
prominent family in the history of the Democratic Party in
the United States, to suddenly find himself completely excluded, not
even considered, and then they put in Biden. So it
broke his heart in some ways. But he decided to
go independent because that was the only option he had.
(09:31):
That's what we're dealing with with the DNC. He didn't
know that even two years ago, but it's become very obvious,
and what he discovered, the whole of the American public
has discovered. So we'll see if there's a future for
this party or not. You know, what could happen, It
strikes me, Jesse, is that in the same way the
(09:52):
Republican Party was sort of taken over by renegades and insurgents,
you know, through the Trump efforts, maybe something like that
could happen to the Democrats too. But we're not seeing
any science of it yet.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh we're certainly not. And I hate to pick on
Tim Wallas, I actould take that back. I love to
pick on Tim Walls, but I'm going to use him
again because I want to ask you a question after
we watch this here.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
He was the most sacred right under the United States.
Democracy is the first Amendment. You yourself have said, there's
no First Amendment right to misinformation. Kamala Harris wants to
top government and big tech to silence people from speaking
their minds. That is a threat to democracy that will
long outlive this present political moment.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. That's that's
the test, that's the Supreme Court test.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Tim fire in a crowded theater.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
You guys wanted to kick people off of Facebook for
saying that Toddler shouldn't fire and a crowded theater. That
is criticizing the policies of the government, which is the
right of every American.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is it their tyranny that doomed them to Now that's
the thing that bothers me. I know that's the thing
that bothers you. You and I've spoken many times, But
for the normal American who actually decides elections, I fully
acknowledge it's not me it's not you, it's them. Is
it the tyranny that turned them off? Because they really did.
I mean, the mask slipped really quickly.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
You know.
Speaker 10 (11:18):
Just it wasn't too many years ago when there were
a lot of rebels and renegades and resistance types, people
who didn't trust elites, who hated war, hated censorship. They
were all part of the Democratic Party. But now all
these people have migrated over. We really need to understand
(11:39):
the structure of the new Republican Party. Mostly of all
the leadership consists of former Democrats, people who had values
of civil liberties and free speech and the rights of
the people against against the ruling class and so on.
They were once part of the Democratic Party. Now they're
(11:59):
all in the Republican Party, and a lot of the
old Republican Party regulars are gone and disappearing, leaving the
Democrats with just people who are just sort of strangely
regime loyal, people who are glad to rent out their
bodies and their mouths to.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Others.
Speaker 10 (12:19):
On x there's been all sorts of posts about something
like twenty two Democratic senators reading from the same script
the identical words as a pre response to Trump's address
and it's just incredible. You know, Elon was asking you
who wrote this and we don't know. In fact, he
(12:40):
offered a tesla right to find out who wrote these things.
So that's what we're dealing with the Democrats, and they're
going to have to get a new leadership if they
expect to compete, and I believe I'm sure you do. Also,
I would like to have a competitive democracy in this country,
you know, where we have two ernest parties battling out
(13:01):
over fundamental policy ideas. But that's not what's going on.
We have one party that represents the managerial state class
and the ruling class, and the largest corporations and the
deep state and all the embedded interests that drive us
all mutts, and then another party that consists of a
(13:22):
renegade group that are sick of the status quo and
they're looking for change, and they themselves are fighting an
internal battle against the old guard. So that's the where America.
From my point of view, that's where American politics is today.
But I don't see a future for people like Tim
Waltz or you know, you know, God for big Kick
(13:43):
Kamala Harris or the rest of these types of Buddhaget
and these they're the old guard, and something has to
disrupt this party if they're going to have any kind
of political viability in the future.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I would think Jeffrey I had somebody very smart say
to me that they could see a real true outsider,
like suspend type, like a Jamie Diamond type. It doesn't
have to be that, but a Jmie Diamond type come
in and really kind of it's a fresh face, doesn't
come in with any baggage pulled togethers this nutball coalition
(14:17):
of Democrats.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Could you see that?
Speaker 10 (14:20):
You know, maybe, but you know, you got to think
back to two thousand and say fifteen, when Trump did
this to the Republican Party and the strained circumstances that
were there, and there were eight or ten Republicans that
are vying for the nomination. He just he wiped them
out one by one thanks to the public debates, and
(14:40):
it was a total humiliation for everybody, you know, just
one by one, and he eventually captured the nomination. But
even that wasn't enough. He became president, but not really,
you know, I mean, still a lot of people were skeptical.
They excluded him, they tricked him, They used lawfair and
even within the Republican Party, the people that were against
Trump in twenty sixteen following where a lot of them
(15:02):
were just Republicans. So those were very unusual historical circumstances,
and Trump is an unusual kind of person. Is somebody
like that going to rise up within the Democratic Party Maybe,
but it would have to require a big, open primary,
big vigorous debates, and a lot of courage to take
(15:25):
on the the interests that are running this party, which,
as I say, are the most powerful people in America
at some level.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
It's just funny to.
Speaker 10 (15:34):
Me that you have, you know, the very powerful corporate interests,
the entirety of the civil service, all the labor unions,
at educational unions and so on, all back in the Democrats,
you know, you know, the World Economic Forum, George Sourrows
and all the rest of it. And yet they're just
(15:56):
politically not viable because they're you know, the marionettes that
they've assigned to do the job of getting them elected
or falling down on that job. So that's an awkward
situation to be in.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Now. It is how much credit do you give the
rise of social media? And as I've said, many times,
I realize all the evils people can credit social media with,
and I acknowledge that as well. But there's good and
bad to everything. The fact that so many Americans, and
it's not just young people anymore. I mean my in laws,
you know, they're on social media. They don't watch the
(16:32):
news anymore. They get their news from Twitter, from Facebook,
from something like that. Did the death of the mainstream
media really really give maybe a mortal wound to the
modern Democrat Party. Yeah, that's an interesting way to look
at it.
Speaker 10 (16:48):
Churs we're in the thick of this kind of revolution
and all of us are trying to understand it. A
lot of times it's difficult to understand it. But the
White House Correspondence Association that recently just got booted out
of its cartilized position at the White House to make
room for people like you and others from the independent media,
(17:09):
it turns out they had been in control of the
American media since nineteen fourteen. And that's a really interesting
long track record in which the sort of regime priorities
merged fully with the mainstream media. That's been going on
for one hundred and ten years. Right, So we're now
(17:31):
newly very newly introduced into a world of a free
information space and finding out things that we never knew before.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I mean, I know you live like this every day.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
I'm just astounded about what I didn't know and what
I'm learning, you know, it's rather amazing, and what the
political implications of that. In particular, I would single out
X here, because it's not through Facebook or LinkedIn or
Instagram that you're learning the truth about the world.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
It's we all know that it's through X.
Speaker 10 (18:03):
And what's that going to do politically to this country
so far has been very dramatic. There seems to be
an emergent, a very interesting new relationship that's going on
between the elected government under Trump and the the and
the base the people. We see it playing itself out,
(18:25):
you know every day, where Trump and MAGA and Maha
and Doge are very sensitive to the vox populi, right,
the voice of the people, and X is that voice
of the people.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You know.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
It's just a fact that we've not had this operationally
relevant in American politics probably for more than a century.
So I think you could be right. This may be
fundamentally disruptive. I feel like we're all trying to figure
it out, but it does seem like a different time
and a different city cuation where we're all finding ourselves
(19:01):
in where the relationship between the government that people may
never be the same thanks mostly to Elon's acquisition of X,
but that's providing competition for the other platforms, so it
could everything could change as a result in part of
social media.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I agree with you, Jeffrey as always, Thank you, my friend.
I appreciate you. All Right, we want to talk to
a former Democrat. We'll see what she thinks next. I
(20:08):
just want you to know, as we bring Jennifer Glardi
and visiting fellow with the Independent Women's Forum, I want
you to know that video you just saw is real
on my life. We did not like edit something there
or just do something goofy. That's real and so Jennifer,
maybe look, you're, obviously, by the grace of God, a
former person, a former Democrat. Can you help me understand
(20:31):
what I'm what I'm missing? So I don't understand it
and I want to understand. Help me understand, please, I wish.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I could, but I think even in my darkest moments, Jesse,
that was not acceptable. I've done some pretty cringey things.
I have to admit I've tried to scrub the Internet of.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Some of them.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I leave some of them up to remind me of
how far I've come and how much how my sanity
has been restored and my my true joy.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
But that is.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Really like every time I see it, and actually seeing it,
not through my own screen, but just through this made
me laugh even more. I don't know why, but I
can't get over how silly this is and how I
actually think that they're moving the needle. I don't get it,
but like I said last time to you, I hope
they keep going in that direction because that will only
(21:23):
mean more wins for us for years and years to come.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Doesn't it seem like they're losing their minds quickly, And
that's kind of like the central theme of things here.
I realize they're bottomed out, and sometimes your party, whether
you're a Democrat Republican, you bought them out, you lose
an election, you don't have any power, and you go
back to the drawing board. This doesn't work, This doesn't work.
Let's focus on this. But it seems like it seems
like they went from having kind of everything to just complete.
(21:51):
Their brains just fell out on the table, and I
don't understand how it came apart so quickly.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Maybe, and maybe this is an outside of the Maybe
this is crazy? Is it Pelosi kind of getting too
old and retiring. Maybe that old witch was kind of
keeping all the cats herded in, and now that she's
too old and tired and her dentist are falling out,
she can't and they're just running.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
But what I was just thinking about is our very
first conversation, and the reason you had me on is
that you said, like, leftism is a mental disorder, and
in a way I don't want to like overgeneralize, but
there are some certain modes of thinking that really makes
you think the behavior in that type of video is
(22:35):
appealing and is sensible, particularly coming out of politicians, like
I get it, we're all a little silly, but how
some like modest decorum about yourself and some standard of
what you will and will not put out there. So
maybe Pelosi was just holding all the crazies together. We
(22:56):
do see a younger and younger shift of the demo
of the like who's who the leading voices in the
Democrat Party are, They're increasingly women, they're increasingly young, and
they're increasingly not good. I will give AOC credit. She
really knows how to use the internet. She knows how
to use the socials. A lot of the Democrat Party
does not. And actually, I don't know if you want
(23:17):
to I think you wanted to talk about this anyways.
But Charlie Kirk talked about that in the first podcast
of Gavin Newsom. He had Charlie Kirk on It was glorious.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, it is. It's wild. And maybe there's something there
that about the young women thing, because everybody who's ever
talked to a young woman or been one knows young
women can easily be really, really insane and impossible to
be around. And maybe that explains it that they've taken over.
Instead of being on the sidelines, you know, Jasmine Crockett,
instead of being some backbencher, now she is a leading
(23:53):
voice and there aren't any other voices to kind of
pull her back. AOC. You brought up how savvy she is,
and she is. She actually looks and I know she's crazy,
she actually looks fairly reasonable compared to some of the
Iona Presley types and things like that. Maybe it's just
a party that's taken over by young women with mental illness.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I don't know, but no one's reining them in. And
you know the podcast with Newsom, he sounded like a Republican.
It was crazy, and I was like, where have you
been for the past ten years? Like why have you
not rained in your party? No one is stepping up,
like you said to kind of say, listen, that's not
exactly what we should be doing right now.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
You're missing the mark.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But it doesn't seem like anybody is stepping in.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Maybe Newsom will.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You know, don't you think now you're more familiar with
Newsom than I am, because I think maybe you still
live out there at least one time you did. Don't
you think that filthy snake? Because I saw some of
that podcast you're talking about. Don't you think he's just
being the ultimate chameleon getting ready to run for president
twenty twenty eight, trying to act like I'm not one
(25:03):
of these crazy California Democrats who wants to trans your dog.
I'm just kind of a middle of the road guy
with too much hair of jail. I'm wanting you, don't
you get that act?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I mean, if you heard that podcast, you couldn't tell
him as any different from a kind of moderate conservative.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
You know, he.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Kirk is giving him advice and he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and I get it, and h yeah, we've got issues
there like with BLM and that scam and eighty twenty
issues like men and women's sports where eighty percent of
the country is with conservatives. And he keeps saying to Kirk, like,
you're right, But like I said, every Democrat in the
House voted to reject the Fairness in Women's Sports Act.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
So where he has he been?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
He completely threw Kamala under the bus and said that
that ad was disastrous where Trump had said, you know,
Kamala is for they them and Trump is for you.
He admitted that that totally killed her. He said he's
against the pronoun stuff and condemned the LATINX terminology. He's like,
a right, we never said that in my office. We
never used pronouns. I don't know where that came from.
(26:10):
And I was like, where was he the whole time?
Why didn't he speak up? So to your point, he's
either secretly a Republican or what I think is more true,
he's a grifter, like most Democrats, who's strategically trying to
rebrand himself in anticipation for a national election and distract
people from his disastrous leadership of the state I called home.
(26:32):
You're right for twenty years, which I left about a
year and a half ago, and I saw it before
my very eyes just destroyed. So I agree with you.
I think he's trying to rebrand himself from particularly coming
off of the disaster of the wildfires.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Is he the answer for them?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
It's hard to imagine that a California Democrat not to
disparage California, which, as you know, I love. Is he
the answer for Democrats in twenty twenty eight to try
to calm the storm? Or is it going to be
a Gretchen Whimer type who kind of has, you know,
the milfy thing going or is it a JB. Printzker.
I think he's kind of fat, which is relatable. I
don't know, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I don't know who they're going to put forth, to
be honest. If people fall for Newsome, and the thing
is they fell for him for the past five years, right,
he kind of does this rebranding thing, and I don't
know if it is the hair gel and the flammable forehead.
But he does rebrand himself and people seem to have
a short memory, so he may very well pull this off.
(27:34):
I mean, he is more camera savvy. You know, he
did do that debate with DeSantis, and whether you agreed
with him or not, he kind of held his own
even though I thought DeSantis won that debate. And he's
a savvy politician. I don't think anybody else really has this.
Maybe Gretchen Whitmer one. She's a woman, and we all
know how they love their identity politics. But you know,
(27:58):
I don't think they have a strong person right now.
They're really going to have to build them up from
now going forward for the next couple of years.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
What do you think of jd Vance. I've been so impressed.
I liked him before. I just wasn't that familiar with him.
I'm very impressed so far.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Yeah, I've always loved him.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I mean from the moment I read Hillbilly Elegy, and
I just you know what's funny is the left embraced him.
They loved him when he first came out with that book, right,
and then all of a sudden he's a Republican and
they hate him. They just can't see beyond anything but
a political party. He's very intelligent, he's very he's got
(28:41):
like the quintessential American story.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
His wife is Indian.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
They should be celebrating this, and yet they can't stand him.
I've always enjoyed him. I know people that know him firsthand,
and from what I hear, he's just a down to
earth guy and I think he can speak off the cuff.
I think Democrats have a hard time doing that. Charlie
Kirk and that podcast, he called the Democrat Party all
(29:07):
but a bunch of pansies and he said they're not masculine.
And what he was talking about is this new media
that jd Vance and Trump got both really good at
because they can riff. And I took a quote down
from Kirk. Let me read it to you because I
think it's so well encapsulates the Democrats problem and highlights JD.
Vance's strengths. Is that if you want to earn the
(29:29):
respect of forgotten America, you have to show them that
you can intellectually joust with no script, no heartbreaks like
you do, no producers in your ears, no teleprompters. And
that's where media is going. People have to be able
to trust you what you're saying. And when you have
a position that's based on first principles, it's easy to
(29:51):
tell the truth. You don't have to know what the
current trend is or what people want to hear. You
tell the truth all the time, so you come across
as authentic. And I think JD has that skill.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Well.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Trump earned that skill over the past few years. And
that's where we just kind of spank the left is
in new media.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I'll take it, Jennifer, come back soon. All right, we're
not quite done yet. We'll be back.
Speaker 11 (30:32):
The children are always ours, every single one of them,
all over the globe, and I am beginning to suspect
that whoever is incapable of recognizing this, maybe incapable of morality.
From Gaza to little Village to all Scouts and all
over the country. The children are all ours, every single
(30:56):
one of them, and it is our duty to fight
for them.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
It's wild how often those words and words like that
come out of the mouths of these dirty comedy scum.
The children are ours. The children belong to us. Every
child belongs to us. It's something they routinely talk about.
And if you're not paying attention. If you don't understand
what they're saying, you don't realize what they're actually saying.
(31:22):
Joining me now, my friend Adam Coleman wrote a wonderful book,
The Children We Left Behind. I would highly recommend you
pick up that book. It's about Western society, western culture,
and how we've really left the kids. We've justified people
just leaving the kids. Adam, I hear it all the
time from the leftists all the time. There are children there,
(31:42):
they belong to all of us. Can you explain why
they talk like this so often?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
I think, well, for once, some of them are just
ritual signaling. Many of them don't actually know what it's
like to be a parent. Often you'll see the childless
woman who's standing up there, And it's not to say
that she doesn't have some sort of empathy or doesn't
care about children, but I think it's misplaced and it's.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Something that a lot of people don't bring up.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
People who speak like that often come from tumultuous childhood homes.
So whereas when they were a kid they wish that
others could come and rescue them, then they grow up
to want to rescue other people. A lot of people
do that with animals as well. They turn their life
into rescuing something just because they wish they were rescued
(32:31):
when they were younger. So the whole we must be
responsible for all children sometimes is a plea for help
from when they were kids themselves, but unfortunately ideology takes
form and brings it into a more malicious arena.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Let's talk about the nuclear family, because this is something
that communists have been after since the start of communism,
and the Soviet Union was infamous for this, breaking up
and filtrating the nuclear family. The Stasi would they'd plant
pornography in a husband's mailbox so the wife would find it.
In modern day times, Black Lives Matter had it on
(33:11):
their website that they wanted to break up the nuclear family.
They're quite honest about it.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Why because there's strength within the nuclear family. Family separation,
for one. I think someone who wants to purposely break
up families is demonic. That's a different direction. But I
would say that there's strength within a family. There are
so many things that are beneficial for children coming from
(33:39):
both sides, the mother and the father. There's a balance
between them. Men have a different approach than women when
it comes to raising children. And then when we're seeing
in the West is that more and more men are
either choosing to step away from the children or being
forced away from their children, whether it be through court
system or through a rotational mother. And then what ends
(34:02):
up happening is the children pay the cost of it.
The children are the ones who are lost, They're the
ones who are being left behind. They're the ones who
are being taken advantage of. So for many of these
kids that they claim to want to claim as theirs,
and many of these leftist kids who gravitate towards this
leftist ideology that makes the community's responsibility to take care
(34:25):
of them because their parents fail to do so, then
they get wrapped up in this because they don't have
any sort of protection from it. Meanwhile, for someone like
my son, you know, when especially during twenty twenty, when.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
All this stuff popped off, you could.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Turn to me and ask me, just like your kids
can turn to you and ask you, and you keep
them from dangerous and illogical ideologies that are manipulative.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Adam, I understand a bit about your background, so obviously
this is something that maybe you will understand better than
I will. But can you help me understand the mentality
of a father walking away from his children, because I
fully admit that I'm a terrible person. I would never
claim to be a moral person, but gosh, I love
being a dad. It's just like the greatest thing in
(35:14):
the world. It's not coming to work, it's not you know,
eating a great meal, and I love all those things.
Right when I walk in the door and my two
meathead sons come running to talk to me and tell
me about their day, there's nothing better in the world.
I don't understand how someone wouldn't like it. It's like
not liking ice cream. Can you explain it?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Yeah, it's a good question, and it's a little bit complicated.
I think there are multiple situations as to why it happens.
One of them is, well, there were kids, their father
stepped away, so it's just repeating a familiar behavior. The
other part of it is for some reason, they didn't
bond with their children when they were first born, which
(35:57):
is incredibly important to do so, you know, for Mother's day,
have a natural bonding because the child is growing within them.
But for men they have to that's what you see
like skin to skin contact for for newborns, like they
have to have that in the very beginning. They have
to be close to them. That's the that's the bonding phase,
(36:17):
and that's the part that really solidifies your relationship with
your child. You get to feed them, they become reliant
on you. It's a completely different perspective. And for some men,
you know, they don't They're not choosing to walk away,
they're forced to. They're kind of pushed away. Although I
will always be harder on the parents and say you
should keep fighting for your kids no matter what the
(36:40):
hurdles are in front of you.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
So I think it's it's multifaceted.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
I think when it comes to my father, who wasn't
involved in our lives, I just don't think he was
interested in fighting for us. I don't think he was
interested in being much of a parent. And yeah, it's
hard to really speak fro him because I never really
got a chance to ask him why he made the
decisions that he'd made.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
You used to be a diet in the Democrat. You
were not anymore. Can you explain why?
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Yeah, I would say when I was a Democrat, I
was more of a moderate. I was never a leftist.
I moved away from the Democratic Party when I realized
the source of information that I was receiving was heavily biased,
and my understanding of the right leaning position was the
way left wing filter.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
So you know, i'm analytical person.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
If I'm taking in bad or misleading information, the output's
going to be bad and misleading as well. It was
when I broke away from the mainstream media and started
taking in a variety of viewpoints, whether it be more
progressive viewpoints, conservative viewpoints, libertarian viewpoints, and I wanted to
understand everything and kind of come to.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
My own conclusion.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
So I'm rather somewhere in the middle, depending what the
issue is.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
The only real.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Position that I've completely changed was I was pro choice
and I'm radically pro life.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Nothing wrong with that. Why is the Democrat Party? Why
are they bottoming out right now? And I know it
won't last forever. We talk about that all the time,
but right now I have approval rating in the low
thirty percent. It's not just me. I'm a hyperpartisan. I'm
always gonna I'm always gonna dislike Democrats, but the normal
American has completely rejected the Democrat Party.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Why they're not relatable, They're not cool, they're not relatable
in a sense that the Democrats started catering to the
upper class, and so everything that they say sounds like
in the interests of the upper class, sounds like they're
speaking to a niche audience.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
And there's a lot of denihialism. You know, for the
person who lives.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
In the gated community and can you know, live in
this particular bubble, everything is fine. But for everybody else,
they're living check to check and have minimal savings, life
is difficult. And so when they have real problems, and
then you have the upper class, elitist mainstream media going
out to them and asking them, what are the issues
(39:17):
that are facing for you and why are you supporting Trump,
they still turn around and call them racists because that's
the thing that they say in their bubble. Right, So
they've completely abandoned the working class. They keep completely abandoning
the average American who is, you know, trying to strive
for a better life. They've turned to illegal immigrants who
(39:39):
are doing the jobs that a mini Americans would actually
like to do, even though they perpetuate the lie that
Americans don't want to do certain jobs so they can
keep near slave wages, so they can keep the system
going where they can, you know, then they can use
our tax dollars to take care of their healthcare, and
so on and so forth. I live in New Jersey.
(40:00):
Down the road is warehouse filled with legal immigrants. Multiple
warehouses filled with legal immigrants.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
It's an entire system.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
And so when people like myself are saying, hey, these
problems are real, we see it every single day, do
something about it. They say, it's not a problem. Everything
is fine. Both for Kamala, that just doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Yeah, it was. I used to say during Biden's presidency
that the one word I would use to describe them
was cold. They would tell you, you know, stop whinding about
inflation is essentially what they would say. Inflation is better,
It's fine. What are you complaining about. The economy is better.
You just don't realize it. You're too dumb to realize it.
And it seems to have infected it seems to have
(40:44):
infected their entire party. They just don't care. We were
always lectured.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
Yes, and this is the We saw this during COVID.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
The falling in love with the academic, the falling in
love with the expert.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
Right, the expert can't be wrong.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Even though the expert keeps changing his mind every other
week about what the conclusion is. Right, it's this idea
that the opinion of the average American doesn't matter. And
that's the part that's disheartening, and that's the reason why
a lot of people went in the direction of Donald Trump.
(41:20):
And don't get me wrong, Donald Trump is a billionaire.
But at least he's real. Right, No one's ever said
that Donald Trump is fake. We all believe he's real,
and he actually echoes many of the things that we're
saying or that he does. It denies a different story
because politicians are politicians.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
But he's at least hearing us.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
And you can't say that from much of the Democratic Party,
especially on the national level.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Yeah, that's true. Adam, my brother. Thank you. Best of
luck on your book. I'm sure it'll sell well. All right,
I'm not done yet. Hang on. Obviously, we're talking about
(42:12):
the death of the Democrat Party. But the Democrat Party
is not dead. It's still there and it will be there,
but in its current form, as we've just talked about
for the last hour, I believe it is dead. And
there was a lot of brilliant stuff we heard from
people during this show. But I really love what Adam
Coleman said about how they just talk down to everybody
(42:32):
now and they don't seem to be able to get
out of that until they figure out a way to
break out of this academia bubble where they consider themselves
to be the kings and queens, the professors, and we're,
of course the students the morons. So let me lecture
you on everything. Until they find a way to break
(42:52):
out of that, they may very well be in the wilderness.
You and I like to believe that it's all ideological, right.
They got to they got run out of power because
of all the LGBTQ stuff, and of course that's partially true.
But the truth is there's no ability like relatability. And
as long as Democrats run to the camera and tell
(43:12):
you you should stop whining about inflation, they're going to lose.
Let's celebrate that, let's enjoy it, and let's make some
gains while we can. All right, we'll do it again.
So I say things occasionally that make people angry. I
guess that's just part of doing television and radio for
a living. It's no big deal. But there's one thing
I say that makes people angry a lot people on
our side. I'm not talking about the Communists. I don't
care about that, but I'll say it again, and I
really genuinely mean it. We need the Democrat Party to reform. Now,
(00:33):
when I say it, I get responses like who cares
about them? Or no, we just have to defeat them,
And Okay, I understand the sentiment. I really genuinely do.
But as I've said many, many, many, many many times before,
I love my country. My interest is not in Republicanism.
My interest is in the United States of America growing
and prospering and being here for my grandkids and their
(00:56):
grandkids and their grandkids after them. That's how much I
love my country. I am interested in this country lasting
five hundred more years, a thousand more years. That's what
I want. And because I want that, I want the
Democrat Party to reform, because the United States of America
(01:16):
cannot survive unless it does what this modern Democrat Party is.
There's always been differences between Republicans and Democrats. I acknowledge
that I'm not naive, but for the longest time there
was at least a strain of patriotism inside of both parties,
and the Republican Party, as much as I rag on them,
as much as I scream about them, at least they're
(01:38):
not openly nakedly trying to burn the country down. We
cannot survive for my grandkids, grandkids, we can't survive another
five hundred years. If one of the two major political
parties just wants to burn the place down, what do
you think about it? Just think about the campaign they
just ran, actually just had that big election. Think about
(02:00):
the campaign they ran. Think about the main issue you
heard them pound over and over and over again. We're
talking about America, the people, the border, how people are living.
And this is all we got from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
What is the greatest national security threat to the United States?
It's Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represented extremism that threatens
the very foundations of our republic.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Donald Trump cannot be president again.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
He's excessent to threat to democracy.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Look are they a threat to democracy?
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Are they going to take our rights away?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Are they going to put people's lives in danger.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yes, we have to defeat.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
A person who is a threat to our democracy of
the kind that we have not seen.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Trump is an enemy of the United States.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Having Trump not only have had the codes, but now
having the classified information for Americans and being able to
put that out and share it in his resort with
anyone and everyone who comes through should be terrifying to
all Americans. And he needs to be shot. Stop MAGA
in general.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
They are threats to us domestically.
Speaker 8 (03:08):
He is destructive to our democracy, and he has to
be He has to be eliminated.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
They're not about anything, certainly, not about you, anything you
care about at all. It's all these anti Trump political
phrases that don't really mean anything threat to democracy. And
we remember, we should not forget how they just govern
for four years. Those savages tore through this country as
fast as they could through the border open, brought as
(03:40):
many rapists into the country as they could, handed out
trillions of dollars to their communist friends domestically and foreign wise.
And doesn't matter how good how well Trump does for
the next four years. He can't put together everything they
destroyed in four because you cannot build as fast as
you can destroy. The Democrat Party right now is flailing
(04:03):
and they're lost, and we should be happy about that.
We're going to talk about the why a lot tonight,
but just know on the back end of that, we
need them. We need them to change. I'm never going
to be a Democrat, but we can't have this without end.
We can't have every time they take over, the burning
of American We simply can't. But the good news is
(04:26):
they are on the outs. The American people watched with
horror at what they did for four years and they
rejected them firmly at the ballot box. Are they going
to wake up? Are they going to recover? They about
to turn things around. We'll talk about that tonight and
all that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right.
We have a great show for you.
Speaker 9 (04:45):
Hang on, who do you see in the Democratic Party
as a possibility for twenty eight because, as we know,
(05:06):
these dates come at us faster than you sometimes anticipate.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It's deep and look, I'm gonna say it, I'm biased
towards the Governor's and there's a bunch of them out
there doing the work. But look, there's people that I'm unabashed.
I'm a big fan of Pee Bootageitch. I think he
talks about it. I don't know what Vice President Harris
is going to do, but I think she's got a
lot to offer.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Folks.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Would you run for president? Well, I had a friend
Telly never turned down a job you haven't been offered.
If I think I could offer something, or if there's
a piece there that would do it, I would certainly
consider that. I'm also, though not arrogant enough to believe
there's a lot of people that can do this. And
by the time we get to twenty twenty eight, what
that skill set to do? What looks like we need
to coalesce behind that person, whoever it is, and so I'll,
(05:49):
you know, if it would be that might have the
skill set, I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I'm I'm dumbfounded. I just can't figure out. I can't
figure out how they came apart so quickly when you
think back to Barack Obama, Like I already said, they
had it all and now it's Budajet and dum again
joining me now. Jeffrey Tucker, founder and President at the
Brownstone Institute. Jeffrey, look, obviously, I'm very biased. I'm a partisan.
(06:21):
I'm not a journalist. I'm an extremely biased person, so
I'm always going to look on in horror at the
potential field of the other side. But they're just not popular.
I mean, no matter what my thoughts are, love them
or hate them. I mean, I guess you, maybe Shapiro
or somebody. What happened to them after Barack Obama.
Speaker 10 (06:41):
Something Well. I think the major thing is that the
deep state was exposed, the administrative deep state was exposed,
and the DNC was revealed as nothing other than a
cosmetic sort of veneer for it. And that would explain
everything that's happened essentially over the last five years, if
not longer.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And it's a little bit shocking to suddenly.
Speaker 10 (07:03):
Realize that one of the political parties in America is
nothing other than a mouthpiece for unfireable bureaucrats. Know, deep
corporate interests of all the sort of permanent stakeholders of
the entire ruling class of the American if not global regime,
(07:23):
are residing within the DNC, And that's a shocking thing.
We like to think of our political parties as independent
and loyal to their voters, but that apparently is not
true with the DNC, and so something that's going to
have going to have to happen to fix this party up,
because the word is out. I mean, like we're no
(07:43):
longer confused about this. I just want to remind you
that it was just not even two years ago, or
maybe it was much sooner than that, that RFK decided
that he would throw his hat into the ring and
expect that maybe the Democrat grassroots would support him to
(08:06):
replace Biden. That was the original idea of his campaign
when he ran, because he was under the impression that
many many Democrats would favor his political priorities of giving
government back to the people and cleaning up the public
spaces and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
That was his theory, and it was earnest.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
I mean, he thought, well, we'll have an open primary
and then I'll compete, you know, as politics always are,
and we'll get rid of this crazy crowd that's taken
over the DNC. That it was an earnest effort on
his part. But of course he very quickly realized within
a few weeks of having declared that there would be
(08:49):
no open primary, that there was a cartel that ran
the party that he could never reach the base. The
base would be disempowered, they would never have a chance
to vote for him at all. The fix was in
from the very beginning, and that was a little bit
heartbreaking to him, I would say, as a sort of
(09:10):
sign of a long political family that had the most
prominent family in the history of the Democratic Party in
the United States, to suddenly find himself completely excluded, not
even considered, and then they put in Biden. So it
broke his heart in some ways. But he decided to
go independent because that was the only option he had.
(09:31):
That's what we're dealing with with the DNC. He didn't
know that even two years ago, but it's become very obvious,
and what he discovered, the whole of the American public
has discovered. So we'll see if there's a future for
this party or not. You know, what could happen, It
strikes me, Jesse, is that in the same way the
(09:52):
Republican Party was sort of taken over by renegades and insurgents,
you know, through the Trump efforts, maybe something like that
could happen to the Democrats too. But we're not seeing
any science of it yet.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh we're certainly not. And I hate to pick on
Tim Wallas, I actould take that back. I love to
pick on Tim Walls, but I'm going to use him
again because I want to ask you a question after
we watch this here.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
He was the most sacred right under the United States.
Democracy is the first Amendment. You yourself have said, there's
no First Amendment right to misinformation. Kamala Harris wants to
top government and big tech to silence people from speaking
their minds. That is a threat to democracy that will
long outlive this present political moment.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. That's that's
the test, that's the Supreme Court test.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Tim fire in a crowded theater.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
You guys wanted to kick people off of Facebook for
saying that Toddler shouldn't fire and a crowded theater. That
is criticizing the policies of the government, which is the
right of every American.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is it their tyranny that doomed them to Now that's
the thing that bothers me. I know that's the thing
that bothers you. You and I've spoken many times, But
for the normal American who actually decides elections, I fully
acknowledge it's not me it's not you, it's them. Is
it the tyranny that turned them off? Because they really did.
I mean, the mask slipped really quickly.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
You know.
Speaker 10 (11:18):
Just it wasn't too many years ago when there were
a lot of rebels and renegades and resistance types, people
who didn't trust elites, who hated war, hated censorship. They
were all part of the Democratic Party. But now all
these people have migrated over. We really need to understand
(11:39):
the structure of the new Republican Party. Mostly of all
the leadership consists of former Democrats, people who had values
of civil liberties and free speech and the rights of
the people against against the ruling class and so on.
They were once part of the Democratic Party. Now they're
(11:59):
all in the Republican Party, and a lot of the
old Republican Party regulars are gone and disappearing, leaving the
Democrats with just people who are just sort of strangely
regime loyal, people who are glad to rent out their
bodies and their mouths to.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Others.
Speaker 10 (12:19):
On x there's been all sorts of posts about something
like twenty two Democratic senators reading from the same script
the identical words as a pre response to Trump's address
and it's just incredible. You know, Elon was asking you
who wrote this and we don't know. In fact, he
(12:40):
offered a tesla right to find out who wrote these things.
So that's what we're dealing with the Democrats, and they're
going to have to get a new leadership if they
expect to compete, and I believe I'm sure you do. Also,
I would like to have a competitive democracy in this country,
you know, where we have two ernest parties battling out
(13:01):
over fundamental policy ideas. But that's not what's going on.
We have one party that represents the managerial state class
and the ruling class, and the largest corporations and the
deep state and all the embedded interests that drive us
all mutts, and then another party that consists of a
(13:22):
renegade group that are sick of the status quo and
they're looking for change, and they themselves are fighting an
internal battle against the old guard. So that's the where America.
From my point of view, that's where American politics is today.
But I don't see a future for people like Tim
Waltz or you know, you know, God for big Kick
(13:43):
Kamala Harris or the rest of these types of Buddhaget
and these they're the old guard, and something has to
disrupt this party if they're going to have any kind
of political viability in the future.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I would think Jeffrey I had somebody very smart say
to me that they could see a real true outsider,
like suspend type, like a Jamie Diamond type. It doesn't
have to be that, but a Jmie Diamond type come
in and really kind of it's a fresh face, doesn't
come in with any baggage pulled togethers this nutball coalition
(14:17):
of Democrats.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Could you see that?
Speaker 10 (14:20):
You know, maybe, but you know, you got to think
back to two thousand and say fifteen, when Trump did
this to the Republican Party and the strained circumstances that
were there, and there were eight or ten Republicans that
are vying for the nomination. He just he wiped them
out one by one thanks to the public debates, and
(14:40):
it was a total humiliation for everybody, you know, just
one by one, and he eventually captured the nomination. But
even that wasn't enough. He became president, but not really,
you know, I mean, still a lot of people were skeptical.
They excluded him, they tricked him, They used lawfair and
even within the Republican Party, the people that were against
Trump in twenty sixteen following where a lot of them
(15:02):
were just Republicans. So those were very unusual historical circumstances,
and Trump is an unusual kind of person. Is somebody
like that going to rise up within the Democratic Party Maybe,
but it would have to require a big, open primary,
big vigorous debates, and a lot of courage to take
(15:25):
on the the interests that are running this party, which,
as I say, are the most powerful people in America
at some level.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
It's just funny to.
Speaker 10 (15:34):
Me that you have, you know, the very powerful corporate interests,
the entirety of the civil service, all the labor unions,
at educational unions and so on, all back in the Democrats,
you know, you know, the World Economic Forum, George Sourrows
and all the rest of it. And yet they're just
(15:56):
politically not viable because they're you know, the marionettes that
they've assigned to do the job of getting them elected
or falling down on that job. So that's an awkward
situation to be in.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Now. It is how much credit do you give the
rise of social media? And as I've said, many times,
I realize all the evils people can credit social media with,
and I acknowledge that as well. But there's good and
bad to everything. The fact that so many Americans, and
it's not just young people anymore. I mean my in laws,
you know, they're on social media. They don't watch the
(16:32):
news anymore. They get their news from Twitter, from Facebook,
from something like that. Did the death of the mainstream
media really really give maybe a mortal wound to the
modern Democrat Party. Yeah, that's an interesting way to look
at it.
Speaker 10 (16:48):
Churs we're in the thick of this kind of revolution
and all of us are trying to understand it. A
lot of times it's difficult to understand it. But the
White House Correspondence Association that recently just got booted out
of its cartilized position at the White House to make
room for people like you and others from the independent media,
(17:09):
it turns out they had been in control of the
American media since nineteen fourteen. And that's a really interesting
long track record in which the sort of regime priorities
merged fully with the mainstream media. That's been going on
for one hundred and ten years. Right, So we're now
(17:31):
newly very newly introduced into a world of a free
information space and finding out things that we never knew before.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I mean, I know you live like this every day.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
I'm just astounded about what I didn't know and what
I'm learning, you know, it's rather amazing, and what the
political implications of that. In particular, I would single out
X here, because it's not through Facebook or LinkedIn or
Instagram that you're learning the truth about the world.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
It's we all know that it's through X.
Speaker 10 (18:03):
And what's that going to do politically to this country
so far has been very dramatic. There seems to be
an emergent, a very interesting new relationship that's going on
between the elected government under Trump and the the and
the base the people. We see it playing itself out,
(18:25):
you know every day, where Trump and MAGA and Maha
and Doge are very sensitive to the vox populi, right,
the voice of the people, and X is that voice
of the people.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You know.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
It's just a fact that we've not had this operationally
relevant in American politics probably for more than a century.
So I think you could be right. This may be
fundamentally disruptive. I feel like we're all trying to figure
it out, but it does seem like a different time
and a different city cuation where we're all finding ourselves
(19:01):
in where the relationship between the government that people may
never be the same thanks mostly to Elon's acquisition of X,
but that's providing competition for the other platforms, so it
could everything could change as a result in part of
social media.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I agree with you, Jeffrey as always, Thank you, my friend.
I appreciate you. All Right, we want to talk to
a former Democrat. We'll see what she thinks next. I
(20:08):
just want you to know, as we bring Jennifer Glardi
and visiting fellow with the Independent Women's Forum, I want
you to know that video you just saw is real
on my life. We did not like edit something there
or just do something goofy. That's real and so Jennifer,
maybe look, you're, obviously, by the grace of God, a
former person, a former Democrat. Can you help me understand
(20:31):
what I'm what I'm missing? So I don't understand it
and I want to understand. Help me understand, please, I wish.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I could, but I think even in my darkest moments, Jesse,
that was not acceptable. I've done some pretty cringey things.
I have to admit I've tried to scrub the Internet of.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Some of them.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I leave some of them up to remind me of
how far I've come and how much how my sanity
has been restored and my my true joy.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
But that is.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Really like every time I see it, and actually seeing it,
not through my own screen, but just through this made
me laugh even more. I don't know why, but I
can't get over how silly this is and how I
actually think that they're moving the needle. I don't get it,
but like I said last time to you, I hope
they keep going in that direction because that will only
(21:23):
mean more wins for us for years and years to come.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Doesn't it seem like they're losing their minds quickly, And
that's kind of like the central theme of things here.
I realize they're bottomed out, and sometimes your party, whether
you're a Democrat Republican, you bought them out, you lose
an election, you don't have any power, and you go
back to the drawing board. This doesn't work, This doesn't work.
Let's focus on this. But it seems like it seems
like they went from having kind of everything to just complete.
(21:51):
Their brains just fell out on the table, and I
don't understand how it came apart so quickly.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Maybe, and maybe this is an outside of the Maybe
this is crazy? Is it Pelosi kind of getting too
old and retiring. Maybe that old witch was kind of
keeping all the cats herded in, and now that she's
too old and tired and her dentist are falling out,
she can't and they're just running.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
But what I was just thinking about is our very
first conversation, and the reason you had me on is
that you said, like, leftism is a mental disorder, and
in a way I don't want to like overgeneralize, but
there are some certain modes of thinking that really makes
you think the behavior in that type of video is
(22:35):
appealing and is sensible, particularly coming out of politicians, like
I get it, we're all a little silly, but how
some like modest decorum about yourself and some standard of
what you will and will not put out there. So
maybe Pelosi was just holding all the crazies together. We
(22:56):
do see a younger and younger shift of the demo
of the like who's who the leading voices in the
Democrat Party are, They're increasingly women, they're increasingly young, and
they're increasingly not good. I will give AOC credit. She
really knows how to use the internet. She knows how
to use the socials. A lot of the Democrat Party
does not. And actually, I don't know if you want
(23:17):
to I think you wanted to talk about this anyways.
But Charlie Kirk talked about that in the first podcast
of Gavin Newsom. He had Charlie Kirk on It was glorious.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, it is. It's wild. And maybe there's something there
that about the young women thing, because everybody who's ever
talked to a young woman or been one knows young
women can easily be really, really insane and impossible to
be around. And maybe that explains it that they've taken over.
Instead of being on the sidelines, you know, Jasmine Crockett,
instead of being some backbencher, now she is a leading
(23:53):
voice and there aren't any other voices to kind of
pull her back. AOC. You brought up how savvy she is,
and she is. She actually looks and I know she's crazy,
she actually looks fairly reasonable compared to some of the
Iona Presley types and things like that. Maybe it's just
a party that's taken over by young women with mental illness.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I don't know, but no one's reining them in. And
you know the podcast with Newsom, he sounded like a Republican.
It was crazy, and I was like, where have you
been for the past ten years? Like why have you
not rained in your party? No one is stepping up,
like you said to kind of say, listen, that's not
exactly what we should be doing right now.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
You're missing the mark.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But it doesn't seem like anybody is stepping in.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Maybe Newsom will.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You know, don't you think now you're more familiar with
Newsom than I am, because I think maybe you still
live out there at least one time you did. Don't
you think that filthy snake? Because I saw some of
that podcast you're talking about. Don't you think he's just
being the ultimate chameleon getting ready to run for president
twenty twenty eight, trying to act like I'm not one
(25:03):
of these crazy California Democrats who wants to trans your dog.
I'm just kind of a middle of the road guy
with too much hair of jail. I'm wanting you, don't
you get that act?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I mean, if you heard that podcast, you couldn't tell
him as any different from a kind of moderate conservative.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
You know, he.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Kirk is giving him advice and he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and I get it, and h yeah, we've got issues
there like with BLM and that scam and eighty twenty
issues like men and women's sports where eighty percent of
the country is with conservatives. And he keeps saying to Kirk, like,
you're right, But like I said, every Democrat in the
House voted to reject the Fairness in Women's Sports Act.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
So where he has he been?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
He completely threw Kamala under the bus and said that
that ad was disastrous where Trump had said, you know,
Kamala is for they them and Trump is for you.
He admitted that that totally killed her. He said he's
against the pronoun stuff and condemned the LATINX terminology. He's like,
a right, we never said that in my office. We
never used pronouns. I don't know where that came from.
(26:10):
And I was like, where was he the whole time?
Why didn't he speak up? So to your point, he's
either secretly a Republican or what I think is more true,
he's a grifter, like most Democrats, who's strategically trying to
rebrand himself in anticipation for a national election and distract
people from his disastrous leadership of the state I called home.
(26:32):
You're right for twenty years, which I left about a
year and a half ago, and I saw it before
my very eyes just destroyed. So I agree with you.
I think he's trying to rebrand himself from particularly coming
off of the disaster of the wildfires.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Is he the answer for them?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
It's hard to imagine that a California Democrat not to
disparage California, which, as you know, I love. Is he
the answer for Democrats in twenty twenty eight to try
to calm the storm? Or is it going to be
a Gretchen Whimer type who kind of has, you know,
the milfy thing going or is it a JB. Printzker.
I think he's kind of fat, which is relatable. I
don't know, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I don't know who they're going to put forth, to
be honest. If people fall for Newsome, and the thing
is they fell for him for the past five years, right,
he kind of does this rebranding thing, and I don't
know if it is the hair gel and the flammable forehead.
But he does rebrand himself and people seem to have
a short memory, so he may very well pull this off.
(27:34):
I mean, he is more camera savvy. You know, he
did do that debate with DeSantis, and whether you agreed
with him or not, he kind of held his own
even though I thought DeSantis won that debate. And he's
a savvy politician. I don't think anybody else really has this.
Maybe Gretchen Whitmer one. She's a woman, and we all
know how they love their identity politics. But you know,
(27:58):
I don't think they have a strong person right now.
They're really going to have to build them up from
now going forward for the next couple of years.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
What do you think of jd Vance. I've been so impressed.
I liked him before. I just wasn't that familiar with him.
I'm very impressed so far.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Yeah, I've always loved him.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I mean from the moment I read Hillbilly Elegy, and
I just you know what's funny is the left embraced him.
They loved him when he first came out with that book, right,
and then all of a sudden he's a Republican and
they hate him. They just can't see beyond anything but
a political party. He's very intelligent, he's very he's got
(28:41):
like the quintessential American story.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
His wife is Indian.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
They should be celebrating this, and yet they can't stand him.
I've always enjoyed him. I know people that know him firsthand,
and from what I hear, he's just a down to
earth guy and I think he can speak off the cuff.
I think Democrats have a hard time doing that. Charlie
Kirk and that podcast, he called the Democrat Party all
(29:07):
but a bunch of pansies and he said they're not masculine.
And what he was talking about is this new media
that jd Vance and Trump got both really good at
because they can riff. And I took a quote down
from Kirk. Let me read it to you because I
think it's so well encapsulates the Democrats problem and highlights JD.
Vance's strengths. Is that if you want to earn the
(29:29):
respect of forgotten America, you have to show them that
you can intellectually joust with no script, no heartbreaks like
you do, no producers in your ears, no teleprompters. And
that's where media is going. People have to be able
to trust you what you're saying. And when you have
a position that's based on first principles, it's easy to
(29:51):
tell the truth. You don't have to know what the
current trend is or what people want to hear. You
tell the truth all the time, so you come across
as authentic. And I think JD has that skill.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Well.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Trump earned that skill over the past few years. And
that's where we just kind of spank the left is
in new media.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I'll take it, Jennifer, come back soon. All right, we're
not quite done yet. We'll be back.
Speaker 11 (30:32):
The children are always ours, every single one of them,
all over the globe, and I am beginning to suspect
that whoever is incapable of recognizing this, maybe incapable of morality.
From Gaza to little Village to all Scouts and all
over the country. The children are all ours, every single
(30:56):
one of them, and it is our duty to fight
for them.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
It's wild how often those words and words like that
come out of the mouths of these dirty comedy scum.
The children are ours. The children belong to us. Every
child belongs to us. It's something they routinely talk about.
And if you're not paying attention. If you don't understand
what they're saying, you don't realize what they're actually saying.
(31:22):
Joining me now, my friend Adam Coleman wrote a wonderful book,
The Children We Left Behind. I would highly recommend you
pick up that book. It's about Western society, western culture,
and how we've really left the kids. We've justified people
just leaving the kids. Adam, I hear it all the
time from the leftists all the time. There are children there,
(31:42):
they belong to all of us. Can you explain why
they talk like this so often?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
I think, well, for once, some of them are just
ritual signaling. Many of them don't actually know what it's
like to be a parent. Often you'll see the childless
woman who's standing up there, And it's not to say
that she doesn't have some sort of empathy or doesn't
care about children, but I think it's misplaced and it's.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Something that a lot of people don't bring up.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
People who speak like that often come from tumultuous childhood homes.
So whereas when they were a kid they wish that
others could come and rescue them, then they grow up
to want to rescue other people. A lot of people
do that with animals as well. They turn their life
into rescuing something just because they wish they were rescued
(32:31):
when they were younger. So the whole we must be
responsible for all children sometimes is a plea for help
from when they were kids themselves, but unfortunately ideology takes
form and brings it into a more malicious arena.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Let's talk about the nuclear family, because this is something
that communists have been after since the start of communism,
and the Soviet Union was infamous for this, breaking up
and filtrating the nuclear family. The Stasi would they'd plant
pornography in a husband's mailbox so the wife would find it.
In modern day times, Black Lives Matter had it on
(33:11):
their website that they wanted to break up the nuclear family.
They're quite honest about it.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Why because there's strength within the nuclear family. Family separation,
for one. I think someone who wants to purposely break
up families is demonic. That's a different direction. But I
would say that there's strength within a family. There are
so many things that are beneficial for children coming from
(33:39):
both sides, the mother and the father. There's a balance
between them. Men have a different approach than women when
it comes to raising children. And then when we're seeing
in the West is that more and more men are
either choosing to step away from the children or being
forced away from their children, whether it be through court
system or through a rotational mother. And then what ends
(34:02):
up happening is the children pay the cost of it.
The children are the ones who are lost, They're the
ones who are being left behind. They're the ones who
are being taken advantage of. So for many of these
kids that they claim to want to claim as theirs,
and many of these leftist kids who gravitate towards this
leftist ideology that makes the community's responsibility to take care
(34:25):
of them because their parents fail to do so, then
they get wrapped up in this because they don't have
any sort of protection from it. Meanwhile, for someone like
my son, you know, when especially during twenty twenty, when.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
All this stuff popped off, you could.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Turn to me and ask me, just like your kids
can turn to you and ask you, and you keep
them from dangerous and illogical ideologies that are manipulative.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Adam, I understand a bit about your background, so obviously
this is something that maybe you will understand better than
I will. But can you help me understand the mentality
of a father walking away from his children, because I
fully admit that I'm a terrible person. I would never
claim to be a moral person, but gosh, I love
being a dad. It's just like the greatest thing in
(35:14):
the world. It's not coming to work, it's not you know,
eating a great meal, and I love all those things.
Right when I walk in the door and my two
meathead sons come running to talk to me and tell
me about their day, there's nothing better in the world.
I don't understand how someone wouldn't like it. It's like
not liking ice cream. Can you explain it?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Yeah, it's a good question, and it's a little bit complicated.
I think there are multiple situations as to why it happens.
One of them is, well, there were kids, their father
stepped away, so it's just repeating a familiar behavior. The
other part of it is for some reason, they didn't
bond with their children when they were first born, which
(35:57):
is incredibly important to do so, you know, for Mother's day,
have a natural bonding because the child is growing within them.
But for men they have to that's what you see
like skin to skin contact for for newborns, like they
have to have that in the very beginning. They have
to be close to them. That's the that's the bonding phase,
(36:17):
and that's the part that really solidifies your relationship with
your child. You get to feed them, they become reliant
on you. It's a completely different perspective. And for some men,
you know, they don't They're not choosing to walk away,
they're forced to. They're kind of pushed away. Although I
will always be harder on the parents and say you
should keep fighting for your kids no matter what the
(36:40):
hurdles are in front of you.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
So I think it's it's multifaceted.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
I think when it comes to my father, who wasn't
involved in our lives, I just don't think he was
interested in fighting for us. I don't think he was
interested in being much of a parent. And yeah, it's
hard to really speak fro him because I never really
got a chance to ask him why he made the
decisions that he'd made.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
You used to be a diet in the Democrat. You
were not anymore. Can you explain why?
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Yeah, I would say when I was a Democrat, I
was more of a moderate. I was never a leftist.
I moved away from the Democratic Party when I realized
the source of information that I was receiving was heavily biased,
and my understanding of the right leaning position was the
way left wing filter.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
So you know, i'm analytical person.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
If I'm taking in bad or misleading information, the output's
going to be bad and misleading as well. It was
when I broke away from the mainstream media and started
taking in a variety of viewpoints, whether it be more
progressive viewpoints, conservative viewpoints, libertarian viewpoints, and I wanted to
understand everything and kind of come to.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
My own conclusion.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
So I'm rather somewhere in the middle, depending what the
issue is.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
The only real.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Position that I've completely changed was I was pro choice
and I'm radically pro life.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Nothing wrong with that. Why is the Democrat Party? Why
are they bottoming out right now? And I know it
won't last forever. We talk about that all the time,
but right now I have approval rating in the low
thirty percent. It's not just me. I'm a hyperpartisan. I'm
always gonna I'm always gonna dislike Democrats, but the normal
American has completely rejected the Democrat Party.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Why they're not relatable, They're not cool, they're not relatable
in a sense that the Democrats started catering to the
upper class, and so everything that they say sounds like
in the interests of the upper class, sounds like they're
speaking to a niche audience.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
And there's a lot of denihialism. You know, for the
person who lives.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
In the gated community and can you know, live in
this particular bubble, everything is fine. But for everybody else,
they're living check to check and have minimal savings, life
is difficult. And so when they have real problems, and
then you have the upper class, elitist mainstream media going
out to them and asking them, what are the issues
(39:17):
that are facing for you and why are you supporting Trump,
they still turn around and call them racists because that's
the thing that they say in their bubble. Right, So
they've completely abandoned the working class. They keep completely abandoning
the average American who is, you know, trying to strive
for a better life. They've turned to illegal immigrants who
(39:39):
are doing the jobs that a mini Americans would actually
like to do, even though they perpetuate the lie that
Americans don't want to do certain jobs so they can
keep near slave wages, so they can keep the system
going where they can, you know, then they can use
our tax dollars to take care of their healthcare, and
so on and so forth. I live in New Jersey.
(40:00):
Down the road is warehouse filled with legal immigrants. Multiple
warehouses filled with legal immigrants.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
It's an entire system.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
And so when people like myself are saying, hey, these
problems are real, we see it every single day, do
something about it. They say, it's not a problem. Everything
is fine. Both for Kamala, that just doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Yeah, it was. I used to say during Biden's presidency
that the one word I would use to describe them
was cold. They would tell you, you know, stop whinding about
inflation is essentially what they would say. Inflation is better,
It's fine. What are you complaining about. The economy is better.
You just don't realize it. You're too dumb to realize it.
And it seems to have infected it seems to have
(40:44):
infected their entire party. They just don't care. We were
always lectured.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
Yes, and this is the We saw this during COVID.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
The falling in love with the academic, the falling in
love with the expert.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
Right, the expert can't be wrong.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Even though the expert keeps changing his mind every other
week about what the conclusion is. Right, it's this idea
that the opinion of the average American doesn't matter. And
that's the part that's disheartening, and that's the reason why
a lot of people went in the direction of Donald Trump.
(41:20):
And don't get me wrong, Donald Trump is a billionaire.
But at least he's real. Right, No one's ever said
that Donald Trump is fake. We all believe he's real,
and he actually echoes many of the things that we're
saying or that he does. It denies a different story
because politicians are politicians.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
But he's at least hearing us.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
And you can't say that from much of the Democratic Party,
especially on the national level.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Yeah, that's true. Adam, my brother. Thank you. Best of
luck on your book. I'm sure it'll sell well. All right,
I'm not done yet. Hang on. Obviously, we're talking about
(42:12):
the death of the Democrat Party. But the Democrat Party
is not dead. It's still there and it will be there,
but in its current form, as we've just talked about
for the last hour, I believe it is dead. And
there was a lot of brilliant stuff we heard from
people during this show. But I really love what Adam
Coleman said about how they just talk down to everybody
(42:32):
now and they don't seem to be able to get
out of that until they figure out a way to
break out of this academia bubble where they consider themselves
to be the kings and queens, the professors, and we're,
of course the students the morons. So let me lecture
you on everything. Until they find a way to break
(42:52):
out of that, they may very well be in the wilderness.
You and I like to believe that it's all ideological, right.
They got to they got run out of power because
of all the LGBTQ stuff, and of course that's partially true.
But the truth is there's no ability like relatability. And
as long as Democrats run to the camera and tell
(43:12):
you you should stop whining about inflation, they're going to lose.
Let's celebrate that, let's enjoy it, and let's make some
gains while we can. All right, we'll do it again.
