1:27

off there's you you believe

1:29

that the destruction of life is some sort

1:31

of positive thing is it was

1:33

just the worst to me and i think

1:36

that when you're that ugly on the inside

1:38

it manifests on the outside now

1:40

1:43

and i appreciate that because ah

1:45

you've got people covering this and they're they're

1:47

obviously avoiding the the obvious

1:50

on it's evident that if you said

1:52

to somebody well why are you worried about this

1:54

she'd have to give an answer a and the it's

1:56

your wouldn't be because you know i'm

1:58

2:25

what do you for the people who think that those comments are offensive

2:27

be offended and respect simplicity man

2:30

weekly or week we can be offended by

2:32

the fact that we want to kill unborn children we

2:34

can be offended that that forty percent of the

2:36

aborted children are black in this country

2:38

and black lives matter doesn't care you

2:40

we should be offended that you call them fat

2:43

mowgli fill me in yeah i

2:45

just think there's an exhaustion right now with

2:47

the cancel culture in this notion that like

2:49

every take has resulted everyone

2:52

clutching their pearls and so i just

2:54

sort of dismissed the question and mean i'd i'd

2:56

observes what i observed i a

2:58

lot though people liked one call me a massage

3:01

nurse and wanna try to smear me like

3:03

they don't actually argue with my underlined

3:05

contention like a haven't seen the

3:07

internet react with some wave

3:10

of light of the you know a d attractive

3:12

people who are out there chanting for

3:14

murder for right in strikes tucker

3:16

carlson and i get a lot of criticism

3:19

about the great replacement theory was

3:21

actually from our perspective doesn't have anything to

3:23

do with race race and yet like

3:25

maybe what we need to replaces like both white

3:27

women in this country added see a single guatemalan

3:30

marching outside of john kavanagh us house of

3:32

if they were there were there actually very busy are

3:34

probably going to work and jobs at americans will

3:36

do it's magic is when republicans

3:38

the great state of florida gates that house dot gov

3:40

nice firebrand check out his podcast

3:42

firebrand get his book also com firebrand

3:45

when there's this guy who represents

3:47

mike pence note man i interview a lot of

3:49

people have had trump on eleven times i've

3:51

had mike pence on once it was during the campaign

3:53

and in fifteen or sixteen nice guy

3:56

i thought it was a pretty good representative pretty good radio

3:58

talk shows in fact in india what

4:00

he did it but i don't get what he'd where

4:02

he's getting this alleged power that

4:05

that i guess he's feeling as though he could be the face the

4:07

republican party want to give you on this

4:09

this dweeb i'm i'm nervous guy's name is always see

4:11

it and or msnbc as i cnn and

4:13

the reports is the host is doing this as

4:15

if it's really important illicit of his guys on

4:17

a here's a you had to say when asked about your

4:20

comments that mike pence will not be

4:22

the next post

4:24

wow out on love my pencil run for president

4:27

dwight way for but i don't think

4:29

my case i have an impact on that fact

4:31

i'd be surprised if you're still voting is more

4:33

likely still be in prison for a child

4:35

sex trafficking by twenty twenty four

4:37

i'm actually surprised the for the law enforcement

4:40

so out on the speaker teenage conferences

4:42

like that so i'm not to worry about mackey

4:44

to lose this guy it would is is problem

4:47

with you because he eats he didn't really address

4:49

the question at all he decided to make it an

4:51

attack and mack gates it sounds

4:53

like i hit a nerve with my fists

4:55

games fall like they can go to cnn

4:58

which by the way as a media organizations

5:00

there was literally caught on camera

5:02

by project their tasks saying that there

5:04

were animating lies about me to try

5:06

to propagandize my life right because

5:08

i'm an effective congressmen was like

5:10

of course at cnn the kind of platforms

5:12

this nonsense but what they can't

5:14

dispute is that that

5:17

was my best applause line of that speech your

5:19

they can begin repeat de bont

5:21

conspiracies and lies about me but

5:24

what mike pence in his political hacks

5:26

tend to not in any way disputes

5:28

is that the people in that audience the activists

5:31

the people to go out and win elections in the diff

5:34

or define the ideas of our party

5:36

they reject mike pence they don't want him

5:38

to be the leader of our movements and i think mike

5:40

pence is going to find that very frequently

5:42

out on the campaign from the thing i don't get mad

5:44

and and when the allegations came out you immediately

5:47

when i'm tucker you are my show two or three days later

5:49

you in for direct questions about with the reality

5:51

of the situation about bribes that we're going

5:54

on about this investigation it was being we'd

5:56

nothing obviously has stuck because

5:58

it's not true so why did he get away

6:00

with continuing to make these allegations about

6:03

you mean is that libel is that slender a

6:05

is or it's are you immune or is he immune

6:07

because you're a public figure it's one of people

6:09

keep doing this unfortunately

6:11

in the united states you can pretty much

6:13

say anything you want about a public figure and

6:15

it's very difficult to hold people

6:18

accountable because of the actual malice standard

6:20

but folks should still i think mine their p's

6:22

and q's and you know the last

6:24

person who talked like

6:27

our shores

6:28

ended up pleading guilty to a criminal

6:30

shakedown that involved my family so

6:32

such roof and mine are it's mack gates

6:34

are of course this is one republican the great state of

6:36

florida are met when it comes to mike pence

6:39

he's reminiscent now of mitt romney of

6:41

lose cheney of adam kinsey your why

6:43

is there this division allegedly

6:46

the republican party america should the republicans i'm a

6:48

conservative a madness oh we're republican senate

6:50

very conservative because the very wishy washy

6:52

and their argument is never here's how i

6:54

see america in the next generation

6:57

their argument is trump bed gates bad

6:59

mtg bad maybe two pieces

7:02

argue but it's not going to work on for

7:04

anybody who's are true conservative and they want

7:06

america to be first one easing the keep

7:08

doing this and the left never does it's

7:11

our ideas that fill the stadiums

7:13

and that animate the people who actually

7:15

make up our party you

7:17

know the unit party that i think poses

7:20

a great threat to the contrary it's no longer

7:22

the red team against the blue team's it

7:24

is the establishment against the rest

7:26

of us and that establishment includes people

7:28

like liz cheney and adam

7:31

kinsey or and it also includes democrats

7:33

like nancy pelosi and chuck schumer

7:35

and so are we have to have that populist

7:37

energy that america first spirits

7:40

and we as to show it in terms of the

7:42

policies that we embrace and also

7:44

the ideas that were going to push hopefully after

7:46

the two thousand twenty two election where we take power it's

7:49

i hope that means securing our border embracing

7:52

and economic nationalism in our country

7:54

for the sake of our workers and having

7:56

a focused foreign policies that

7:58

ensures that were not allowed

7:59

laughing stock on the world stage like we have been

8:02

under job

8:03

would you make about of a mitt romney mitt romney

8:05

would he make of a mike pence a mit rodgers

8:07

get a little backstory you know everything about mitt romney but

8:09

it's going to say for those were watching and listening he

8:11

was the gutter governor of massachusetts pro choice

8:13

had an epiphany became pro life he did

8:15

romney care which was i guess legal

8:18

because it's not constitutional to be federally done

8:20

he did it in the state but it was basically what obama

8:22

care was based on then when he ran

8:24

for president trump backed him of

8:26

support supported him monetarily and publicly

8:29

romney turn dominant in in twenty sixteen

8:31

from wins one he wanted to be the secretary of state's

8:33

that didn't work out romney wanted to be the said

8:36

the senator new toth trump helped him

8:38

and then he attacked trump again and voted to impeach the guy

8:40

who would you make of a romney or a mike pence

8:43

who i would even though the guy's name had trump

8:45

not put him on the ticket why they turning on the guy

8:48

i think that there is an establishment in

8:50

both parties that hopes to reconstitute

8:53

after trump isn't so easy trump isn't

8:55

isn't corrupt to stop ahold and to

8:57

the special interests to the lobbyists

8:59

of foreign interests abroad and they

9:02

want us to be a beholden nation a

9:04

beggar nation and i think that

9:06

they want trump to sort of just get

9:08

through everyone's political digestive system

9:10

so that they can return to normal being vallese

9:13

for those special interests and the reality

9:15

is president from again

9:18

sub think it is very powerful that

9:20

is very enduring in the american people

9:22

were now they expect a government that

9:24

is more responsive to their needs that is more

9:26

honest and it actually puts the needs of the people

9:29

central in washington d c that

9:31

that hadn't happened in a very long time and

9:33

wheat with or the bureaucrats on the run

9:36

and with some of the lobbyists on the run or

9:38

there's a real sense that we're going to be able to get

9:40

the ship back on in the right direction

9:42

a people are stupid i mean some of these people are out

9:45

there touting the praises of trump's policies

9:47

while saying we should be post trump specifically

9:50

says the guy still very he's sweet listen

9:52

i'm cute as ages he can what he can go three hours

9:54

off teleprompter and white of twenty five

9:56

thirty thousand people the guy still has

9:58

it and his policies ones that we really reaped

10:01

the benefits of for four years what do they

10:03

think they got a guy on yesterday wrote a book he

10:05

said trump's policies were great we should all

10:07

day but we just civil passed from why

10:10

i don't wish they'd only it's is

10:12

it the personality map is that with their

10:14

products or finale let me be let me

10:17

be a defender of the personality of ice and sometimes

10:20

it's it's trump's kind of animated

10:22

nature it's is hyper engagement

10:24

sticking get the most out of people and i do

10:26

think sometimes it's is savage taunts

10:29

they can get to the core of issues milk the reason

10:31

you wanted to talk to me today because i gave

10:33

a speech about these hideous abortion

10:35

activists that both struck

10:37

a nerve and drew a great

10:39

deal of criticism and i are friends sometimes

10:42

president trump did the same thing but what it did was it

10:44

accelerated change washington

10:46

changes very slowly because the people

10:48

who have power now still want to be changed

10:50

that threatens that powers and when donald

10:53

trump accelerates the decision making process

10:55

with is abundant energy or i'm

10:58

i'm here for the personality that that

11:00

that that that creates i think a lot of people voted

11:02

for him because of personality or without

11:04

that personality without without that i'm not

11:06

in the swamp mentality you might not have one

11:09

that have you ever had a somebody on your level

11:11

are aimed and you're a very high profile representatives

11:14

walk up to you you know in these now was going to go

11:16

ups a mac can you be a little more like us

11:18

because i do people keep saying trump should be more

11:20

presidential and like what else presidential

11:23

are you a musket i had a back and forth on

11:25

twitter a week ago where musk is talking

11:27

about how we don't want from he should move on and

11:29

i listed all of his policies as it would you disagree

11:31

with and must seems to me on twitter

11:34

was or none of those things but

11:36

do we really want to bomb the china shop and i'm like well

11:38

yes i do i'm have had people

11:40

try to get you to taper down yeah

11:42

me i remember when i first got here i had a member

11:45

of leadership say bill gates you know we've kind

11:47

of assess the you're not really a team player i'm

11:49

afraid see players just you all are not my not

11:52

by my for the people in my district to send

11:54

me here and expect stamina put their interests

11:56

first not be willing to trade my vote

11:58

away because some deputy web

12:00

of something made a promise to a lobbyist

12:03

somewhere in exchange for a campaign contributions

12:05

which by the way happens every day in washington

12:07

dc it's that's what that's a big a team

12:09

player means that's what's being part

12:11

of being part of kind of the vr

12:14

ethos of congress since it's the same

12:16

way with the presidency donald trump

12:18

was not in that office

12:21

to just be responsive to the administrative

12:23

state and the bureaucratic states he was there

12:25

to provide leadership and boldness

12:28

and a chart of paths and there are many of us that

12:30

works so encouraged to be part of it and have to

12:32

be a part of it yet again but i don't want

12:34

someone who comes to washington to write

12:36

out a list of a bunch of policies

12:38

that maybe i agree with but that they're not willing

12:41

to fight force and it was that spirit

12:43

within trump's that actually cause the policies

12:45

to go from conception to

12:47

actual implementation and to see

12:49

the improvements in people's lives as a consequence

12:52

gave our nation's hope and promise

12:54

and vigor and we took on the spirit

12:57

of are ambitious president spouses kind

12:59

of feels like we're sad depressed kind

13:01

of puttering around to around the

13:03

spirit of our current president the a new cause

13:05

a beggar nation which is something we should never ever

13:08

ever never be that's exactly what

13:10

we are plus we're going release a bunch more oil from

13:12

the us this is the strategic petroleum

13:14

reserves that's post be strategic the it's

13:16

not offer some reason it's mandate is a

13:18

firebrand go check out his podcast called firebrand

13:21

and go also get his book called firebrands

13:23

let me ask you about nationalism i'm older than you

13:25

are but i'm sure you've studied this when

13:27

when jimmy carter was an office me the misery

13:29

index became a thing it was horrible

13:31

interest rates are jason unemployment it

13:33

was nuts we didn't like the christmas tree because

13:35

iran wouldn't give up or hostages only was just

13:38

a horrible time in america and ronald

13:40

reagan wins because he was a nationalist

13:42

what does that mean he needs a legalization

13:45

and have to be christian so i guess he was a christie nationalist

13:48

for some reason when marjorie killer

13:50

green says it and when makeweight says it in when i

13:52

say it when president trump says they were

13:54

nationalist we love the country america first and

13:56

it's we have to be christians were suddenly

13:59

hitler you've got rachel maddow literally

14:01

doing an entire show on why marjorie

14:03

tiller green or you might be

14:06

out of the next right after hitler on

14:08

because you dare say i love my

14:10

country i'll do anything for the country

14:12

and i also have to be christian met unpack

14:15

that formula to how do we get here that

14:17

being christian was bad and loving america

14:19

was best though we should

14:21

be proud of the values

14:23

and christianity that we see reflected

14:25

in the principles that have created

14:27

the most prosperous the most loving

14:30

and the most gracious nation has ever existed

14:33

in all of human history gets to me

14:35

being a nationalist means i love

14:37

my country and more than that i love

14:39

the land i love the people here

14:41

i want every americans whether they

14:43

agree with me or disagree with me to thrive

14:46

and prosperous i want this to be a beautiful

14:48

place that we preserve and conserve

14:50

i want this to be a plus people are proud test

14:53

have their churches on and test raise

14:55

their families are in the scrape place

14:57

that we call america that being a nationalist

15:00

isn't about divisions it's about uplifting

15:02

our entire people and realizing

15:04

that we are our brother's keeper and a

15:06

glut there's a billion chinese and there's

15:09

like three or and fifty million of us and so if we're

15:11

going to win our nation as to pull together

15:13

and we after have everybody's contributing

15:16

and working and that's the type of inspiration

15:18

that i try to provide in the congress and i know that's

15:20

a march retailer green does his wealth

15:22

your you reference the national malays

15:25

of jimmy carter and yeah

15:27

you compare the nasa's you compare what we're

15:29

going through right now with joe biden

15:32

i mean it makes the national

15:34

malays look like the eight nights of hanukkah

15:36

you're right it was a hoax and and and

15:39

as with people so concerned about their

15:41

jobs and investment in

15:43

their careers and where

15:45

the opportunity for homeownership is going

15:47

to a you really have a lot of the signs of a

15:49

healthy society continuing to

15:51

degrade while we see the president himself

15:54

continue to degrade the and that's that's why reagan

15:56

won he was an actual to love the countries

15:58

and he restored nationals we said keeping usa

16:00

ago we started waving the flag against which

16:03

interesting that i've traveled to not too too many

16:05

different places but canada i've gone to italy

16:07

and if you are pro italy in italy they

16:09

love you have your pro canada in canada the love you have

16:11

your pro mexico mexico they love you if

16:13

you pro you i say you're a racist i'll

16:15

understand how it ever got that way and

16:18

it's not that i think the leadership of the left believes

16:20

it they think that they can get traction out of it's biggest

16:22

some of those who follow them blindly do believe it's

16:25

can we disabuse those who he the country

16:27

i'm from doing that and make them come on our

16:29

side go you know it's a pretty great list but

16:32

i think the to do that, we have to be happy

16:34

warriors we have to speak the truth

16:36

to people, but we also have to have a politics

16:38

that is invited, right? there's nothing

16:40

inviting about critical race theory about

16:44

showing up to a political and

16:46

having someone bark 37 pronouns

16:48

at you and so, i that's the challenge
