Tucker Makes MASSIVE Political Announcement!

[0:00] I would not support the Republican Party, there's no chance I would support the [0:03] Republican Party, not gonna support the Democratic Party, I don't know what I'm gonna do. [0:07] But at this point, how could you support, how could I or any American voters support [0:12] a political party that's not loyal to the United States? [0:15] Wow, that's Tucker Carlson leaving the Republican Party today. But he's not the only one, [0:22] another giant figure joined on right afterwards. Anna, tell us about it. [0:26] Well, there is another giant figure who has vocally announced that she will no longer be part of the [0:32] Republican Party. But I'm gonna keep teasing you with that and show you a little more of what Tucker [0:37] had to say first. Because it is informative in regard to what is convincing Americans [0:44] across the political spectrum to abandon their previously preferred political parties. [0:49] More from Tucker. How could I or any American voters support a political party that's not [0:54] loyal to the United States that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own [0:58] citizens? It's not possible to vote for people like that, and I'm not going to. And I think [1:04] I voted Republican my entire life. I worked at Fox News, CNN, MSNBC. I've been a consistent [1:12] defender for 35 years of the Republican Party. I mean, very consistent defender. [1:18] But there's no defending this because it's immoral. [1:20] And it's exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, [1:27] which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation. [1:31] And they're not doing that. So no, I'm out. And if I'm out, [1:34] then I think a lot of other people are out. I don't think he's wrong about that. [1:39] In fact, soon after that was announced, Marjorie Taylor Greene posted the following, [1:44] Tucker is not the only one who has done supporting the Republican Party. [1:46] There is a lot of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters [1:53] and country. That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either, but we are done with the [1:58] America last Republican Party. So I can't tell you guys how much that resonates with me, but [2:04] in the opposite direction, right? So under Biden, and after witnessing what the Democratic Party was [2:12] willing to aid and abet in Gaza, I can't support that party. And honestly, [2:18] the Biden administration is representative of the mainstream Democratic Party. [2:23] So I'm not a registered Democrat, I'm now a registered independent. And a lot of people [2:28] make the mistake of thinking, well, if you don't support the Democrats, that must mean that you're [2:32] a secret Republican. No, I love the Republican Party as well, big time. And so the largest voting [2:39] block at this point in this country registered independence. People hate both parties, [2:45] they are both corrupted, they are both bought, and they don't represent us. [2:49] So God, this game is so rigged, because you could tell based on what mainstream media does, [2:56] right? So we told you 100 times if they'll disagree on cultural war issues meant to divide us. [3:03] But the minute their donor wants something, like don't do a student debt relief, don't do higher [3:09] minimum wage, don't do a public option. Don't enforce antitrust laws, stuff that hurts the American [3:17] people but helps the moneyed interest, the corporate world, and pushes us toward terrible foreign policy. [3:22] And of course, if Israel wants something, right? And they're a giant donor class, all of a sudden, [3:27] all the cable news guys unite, and they're all on the same page. And we've shown you that repeatedly [3:32] here, including today, as of today, pushing out message after message. So in this case, [3:40] we have all of them, of course, attacking Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson. [3:44] But what's interesting in what Anna said is, and it made me realize something right now in the middle [3:50] of the show. So we've been telling you that independents are the largest voting bloc now for [3:56] a long time, right? But you never hear that on cable news or in mainstream media. And in fact, [4:03] they only talk about Republicans and Democrats. And if anyone ever disagrees with the leadership [4:08] of either side, they go, you're disloyal, you're disloyal to your own party. [4:12] Yes, yes. And so they go, no, [4:14] you have to be a Republican or Democrat. Yes. [4:17] And if they ever talk about independence, which is super weird that they're not talking about the [4:21] largest voting bloc in the country ever. The only time they talk about them is to disparage them, [4:27] low information voters. Yes, yes. [4:30] They don't really know what they're doing. And look, back in the day, back, back, [4:33] back in the day, maybe there was some truth to the idea that registered independent voters are [4:39] low information voters. But that's not the case right now. If anything, the reason why it has become [4:44] the largest voting bloc is because they have firsthand knowledge and experience of getting screwed [4:51] by their party, which they previously preferred. And Jake, you make such a great point about [4:56] the push for loyalty to a political party or politicians within that party. [5:02] Because what that does is it kind of perverts the entire democratic process we're supposed to have, [5:08] where people literally volunteer and run for public office because they allegedly wanna be public [5:14] servants. But then they get voted into office and it feels like we're supposed to be their [5:20] servants essentially providing cover for their bad behavior, for their failures, for their [5:27] refusal to actually make good on their campaign promises. We need to get back to a place regardless [5:32] of where you actually stand on the political spectrum. We need to get back to a place where [5:38] the American people, ordinary citizens, voters have high standards for our politicians and remind them, [5:44] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you work for us. You raised your hand and volunteered to do this, [5:49] you wanted to work for us. So either you do that or we're done with you, it's that simple. [5:55] Yeah, and so now a lot of people are doing that and the people who used to be the most loyal, [5:59] because once you tell us about who the next person is, so we just mentioned Marjorie Taylor Greene, [6:04] right? Yep, yep. [6:05] In fact, I'll do it. The next person who then came out and not on the Republican side, but on the Democratic side, [6:11] was Joy Reid. To be fair, actually, she came out before Tucker Carlson to get the chronology right, [6:16] and said, I don't know that I'm gonna stay in the Democratic Party if they keep saying we have to do [6:21] what everything that Israel wants. You know what? I really, really respect her for saying that, [6:27] because I always kind of thought of her as a loyalist to the Democratic establishment. [6:30] She was, and I went on Joy's show, which you should check out, and she's completely changed. [6:35] Really? And she has a totally different attitude, which I love. [6:39] That sounds amazing, and maybe it's the cable news brain rot. [6:43] But think about it, guys, look, me and Joy were on MSNBC, Tucker and Megyn Kelly were on Fox News. [6:50] And they now say that about Fox News, like we got fed a lot of propaganda over there. [6:56] We regret the things that we've said there, and they were the most diehard loyalists to the Republican [7:00] Party. Joy Reid was the most diehard loyalists to the Democratic Party in the Democratic leadership, [7:05] right? Now we're all going, wait, now that we're unshackled from mainstream media and Washington, [7:13] you take the blinders off, it becomes so obvious that we're being manipulated into supporting Israel. [7:19] And guys, just going back to what the two parties use to divide us, but also provide this illusion [7:27] that they're very different parties representing different interests. There's a political scientist [7:33] out of Ireland, he's passed away, but he wrote an incredible book, his name's Peter Mayer, M-A-I-R. [7:40] And he had a theory about political parties in his country, and how they leaned into, very heavily [7:46] leaned into, divisive social issues in order to do exactly what we're experiencing in our political system [7:54] right now. So why did the transgender issue, for instance, become such a gigantic wedge issue during [8:01] the last election? When you consider how small the transgender population is, we have so many problems [8:08] in the country, why was everyone harping on that one issue again and again and again? Because it's divisive, [8:14] it leads to fighting among ordinary Americans over perceived scary things that are happening in some [8:20] cases. In some cases, you're not allowed to have a debate or a conversation about it. It just, [8:24] everyone was at each other's throats on that issue. And I think it was very much intentional. [8:29] I think the Republican Party was really good at bringing that issue up again and again and again. [8:34] I just, be careful with what they're trying to distract you with. Keep your eye on the prize. [8:41] Two quick things I'll add to that. One, whenever Israel's in trouble, they always launch a distraction. [8:48] Okay, so for example, in the UK, they're going back several years and bringing back grooming gangs. [8:55] Remember, you have to hate the Muslims. Don't look at Epstein and all the child pedophilia there [9:00] and etc. Don't look at the wars that are super unpopular in the UK. Muslims, you gotta hate the [9:05] Muslims. It's part culture war to divide us, part a way to say, don't hate Israel, hate the Muslims. [9:12] One of their pundits here in America, while talking to the conservative guy that I debated, [9:21] the Indian guy, Dinesh D'Souza, said, yeah, it's hard to get people to like Israel. So [9:29] we're attacking Muslims to get them to focus on- He said that? [9:33] She said that, yeah, to Dinesh D'Souza, yeah. I was like, you shouldn't have said that on air. [9:38] Okay. Wow. Yeah, so it's so crystal clear. And Anna, [9:42] I had a wow moment in your reporting while I was gone. Yeah. [9:46] Because you and Glenn Greenwald were talking about Labor Together and Dropsite News wrote [9:50] a brilliant article about them. Because you said it, I not only watched the video, but I then [9:54] went and read the Dropsite News article. My God, guys, it was such an excellent explanation. [10:00] So why I got banned, but that's the tiny issue compared to the larger iceberg that they explained. [10:06] There's a group called Labor Together and their job was to redirect the Labor Party away from [10:12] Jeremy Corbyn and away from criticism of Israel into supporting not just Israel, but most of the [10:19] wealthy and the powerful in Great Britain. Yeah. [10:22] And the guy they picked to redirect the Labor Party way back in the day was Keir Starmer. [10:28] And to me, that article, every layer of it was amazing. But one of the most amazing parts was, [10:34] they're like, they'll, Starmer will pretend to do these big changes. That's what he'll promise [10:40] in the elections, so he can regain the Labor voters. But once he gets into office, [10:45] he won't do any of that. And that right there describes the entire plan of the Democratic [10:51] Party in my lifetime here in America. You're exactly right. And I think now Republican voters [10:55] are seeing it with their own party. But I just wanna go back to the grooming gangs really quick, [10:59] Cenk. Because look, I see that story as so indicative of a big problem that we have. [11:06] Because the grooming gangs were absolutely real and the victims were absolutely denied justice [11:14] for a very long time. And so what happens is, you have two different groups of people. [11:21] You have good faith individuals who want to apply the law equally to everyone, okay? Not just toward [11:27] Muslims, not just toward any specific group of people. You are victimizing young girls. [11:32] Who cares what your identity is? If you are breaking the law and you're victimizing these girls, [11:37] you should be brought to justice. But then you have the Tommy Robinson types, [11:42] who are very much driven by hatred. And they say vile, disgusting, Islamophobic things. [11:48] And they tend to be the ones who announce these types of stories and these cases, [11:53] that makes people who might be receptive to that story, might actually care about it, [11:59] might wanna know about it. It repels them, because they think they're getting this information [12:04] from a gross Islamophobe. So point that I'm trying to make here is, the grooming gangs are real. [12:10] Those poor girls were victimized and neglected by their own government. They failed to keep them safe. [12:15] So even though you have some of these unsavory people making claims, try to find a reliable source, [12:24] okay? A non-biased source and try to find out what the truth is. Because the last thing you wanna do [12:28] is fall prey to denying something that's actually happening. Yeah, so real quick on that. So guys, [12:35] grooming gangs is kind of a perfect example of the culture wars going wrong in both directions. [12:39] Yeah. So in the beginning, [12:41] they're downplayed because of identity politics. It's Muslim Americans, we don't wanna drive [12:46] hatred towards them. Not Americans, Muslims in the UK. Sorry, Muslims in the UK. Sorry, [12:49] yes, thank you for that. And so we don't wanna drive hatred or bigotry towards them. [12:54] Yeah, but you don't have to, you could just arrest the actual guys who did it. [12:58] Yes. Right? And then the culture wars go in the [13:00] opposite direction and you go, now you have to talk about grooming gangs nonstop. [13:05] Why? Because the Israelis want you to, right? So now you're forced into either you have to hate [13:10] all Muslims because of the grooming gangs, or you're not allowed to arrest any Muslims because then [13:13] you're hating on. Wait, no, I don't like either one of those extremes. Why don't we hold people [13:18] responsible for their own actions? So that's why we tell you about Israel all the time. No, [13:22] it's not all Jews, that's ridiculous. It's the government of Israel, right? [13:26] And in this case, in the grooming gang's case, of course, not all Muslims, [13:30] but it is those Muslims, right? Yeah. [13:32] And it is those Israelis who are in favor of a genocide and these wars, etc. So let's keep the [13:38] criticism to who deserves it and not broaden out to a group of people and thereby fall in the trap [13:45] of the culture wars and us getting divided and not uniting around things we agree on. [13:51] Totally. Now, let's get back to Tucker real quick because it did spark some [13:54] interesting reactions, including from Seth Dillon. He's the guy behind the Babylon Bee, I think. [14:01] He says of Tucker, he hates Trump and Jews. Sure, sure. [14:07] Has abandoned the GOP and fallen in love with Islam. [14:12] He's basically Charlie's, meaning Charlie Kirk's opposite. Interesting that you felt the need to [14:16] mention Charlie Kirk and speak on his behalf in that post. But anyway, interesting. [14:22] Yeah, the way that they constantly talk about Charlie Kirk, man. I mean, when he first got shot, [14:28] it didn't even occur to me that it might be anything but Tyler Robinson. And then they just [14:33] keep jumping up and go, it's not Israel. Okay, we know it's very normal to pave the cement right [14:38] after a shooting. I know. [14:40] It's very normal for a shooter to change twice in the middle of a shooting. [14:44] I really don't want to get into it, but that whole thing, there's just a lot of weird [14:49] behavior going on. I will confess to that. Now, Dave Rubin also responded to this saying, [14:54] told you Tucker, by the way, remember this is Dave Rubin of all people, who's changed his political [15:01] identity a million times based on what he thinks is gonna be more profitable for himself. [15:06] He says, told you that Tucker would leave the Republicans and Meghan would come back to Trump. [15:12] For now, Tucker will say he isn't a Democrat, but watch his guests and topics. They will only be [15:18] pro-dem and anti-Republican. His goal is to split the Republicans and usher in national socialism. [15:26] Okay, that's hilarious because every Israeli accusation is a confession, [15:31] right? So watch out for Dave Rubin, he'll abandon the Democratic Party, right, he did. [15:37] And he'll try to split the Democratic Party, right, so that you'll support fascism. [15:42] The fascism of Israel, right. Yep, cat turd says, who gives a F? Get over yourself, [15:51] your one vote. Yeah, right. If you guys don't care, [15:54] I mean, they lose their minds about Tucker Carlson every day. Yeah. [15:58] Like you care, you care, cat turd, you care. And then finally, Mark Levin, [16:03] I think his new party has uniforms and I don't mean Boy Scouts calling him a Nazi basically. [16:10] Of course, but who hasn't Mark Levin called a Nazi? [16:13] And it's not just Mark Levin guys and cat turd and losers and idiots like Dave Rubin. [16:20] The entire Zionist infrastructure in this country is all like Tucker Carlson hates Jews. [16:26] Anyone who criticizes Israel hates Jews. Now they've moved on to, as I said earlier in the program, [16:31] to say anyone who criticizes AIPAC hates Jews. So they're allowed to buy off your politicians. [16:38] By the way, AIPAC has a pledge saying you must support Israel unconditionally. [16:42] It doesn't matter what they do or what they do to America. You have no choice, [16:48] it must be unconditional. Otherwise, we're gonna spend tens of millions of dollars defeating you, [16:52] okay? And all these losers, these traitors to our country have signed that pledge. [16:57] I swear to serve Israel loyally and unconditionally, okay? And then they say, well, it's your fault for [17:04] noticing. You shouldn't be allowed to talk about how we get your congressmen on their knees, okay? [17:12] And now if you dare criticize AIPAC and their unconditional pledges of loyalty to another [17:17] country, you're an anti-Semite and we'll destroy you. Yeah, I think somebody's putting on that [17:22] dangerous uniform. But it isn't the people opposed to a genocide, it's the people in favor of a genocide. [17:28] Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true, [17:32] but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
