Has America Forgotten Ramadi? 20 Years Later | Veterans Day with Major Scott Huesing, USMC (Ret.)

We see a noted historian and the man behind this absolutely fantastic website, DNA of Democracy. Let's pull that up here. The intro, it's all beautiful here. And also with us is one of our favorite guests as well, the incomparable Paula Jones. The fan favorite. Hey, Paula. It's good to have you back. Hi, Elizabeth. Deborah. Hi, everybody. Hey, everybody. By the way, Richard, are you going to do a sequel to the book about the Democrats, what Victory called the DOA of democracy? We'll see. I'm actually, in about two months, I'm starting volume four of this series, which will, I don't want to forecast it too much, but it's going to offer the 180 degree different alternative to tyrannical socialism in America. Going back to our founding principles and what the country could be. So hopefully people will read that when it gets out. I hope so. And people need to get your books and pay attention because so much of what we have accomplished as a civilization in 250 years, I don't want to sound over the top as being jeopardized by the very forces that have always sought to end capitalism, end democracy, end actual. Representative democracy was what we have. We don't have a democracy. We have a representative democracy where we are able to vote for representatives and have a balance of powers that the founding fathers created. So be sure and check out his books. It protects minorities. It protects persons unjustly accused of things because of the envy or the jealousy of mob. All the f***s. Here's Manny. I want to make an appearance. Bring her up here. What kind of cat is that? This is a Sphinx. This is Manny the Sphinx. Okay. They don't have hair? They don't have hair, and they're very, they like being warm. Wow. They're like the Dr. Evil cats, cats, and I keep telling people, if you kill a, if you're a spy, I'm a retired spy, so if you kill a Bond villain, you get to keep the cat. Okay. It reminds me of that Emo Phillips. Remember Emo Phillips, the comedian? He did a, he did a play off. I do remember. He did a play off the Sphinx, the Sphinx riddle. He makes a bargain with the burglar and says, you can let me go if you answer a riddle. So he goes, what is four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, three legs in the evening? Well, the burglar goes, well, it's a man because in four legs, he's a baby and crawls. As in two legs, as he rises up as a full-grown man, then he's an old man with three legs. And Emo goes, no way, you're wrong. It's a donkey. Where in the morning, he has four legs. In the afternoon, he had chopped two of them off. In the evening, he glued one back on. He got out of that one. That was funny. He tells it better. He tells everything better. No, but it was funny. It is Veterans Day today, and Tony, I want to thank you for your service. Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Thank all the veterans watching this for your service, and that's one of the reasons I want to do the intro for Tony. Here's Tony. We should do that more often. Maybe I'll make one up. Oh, we should do an intro for you, like Arsenio Hall's introduction. Introduction. There we go. I like the 24-esque thing. As a matter of fact, that's funny. We're going to work out a cool intro for you. But I want to thank all the veterans here. Without people who fought for this nation, we wouldn't have one. And I do think a lot of young people don't know that nowadays. There's a diminishing focus on what has made the country effective and great. And I actually said this on Newsmax. Like, look, we're not the ones that make the economy work. We're not the ones who actually are involved in commerce. But we create the protection and conditions to make sure those things work and people have freedom. To do what they want to do. And I think it's very important. At the cost of your life. Right. Exactly. And I think there's been a number of folks who have served adequately and effectively. And again, I'm going to go on the record here. I said it already earlier. I'm disappointed that Thomas Massey chose yesterday, the day before Veterans Day, after another veteran, Pete Hegseth. Pete is an actual veteran. He served actually in combat. And like most people I know who run the Pentagon. A lot of them have never been actually out doing the necessary things, so I get fed up. Seeing all the Democrats say he's unqualified, it's like, I don't think a guy who looks like Darth Vader and decides that he needs to hunt for white supremacists in the Pentagon, like Lloyd Austin, is a guy that's qualified to do the job. But that's not something we need to talk about today. We honor the sacrifice and service of the veterans. So it is appreciated. I think that this, if I may, I think the attack on Pete Hegseth represents a golden opportunity to start what I call punch presidency. You have to, you have to take every attack they make at Pete Hegseth and make it an argument for the positive things that have happened from the attack on Iran. You have to ask if you're Pete Hegseth. You have to ask in front of this body, whether it's the House or the Senate, do you want a nuclear-armed Iran? Are we not supposed to fight the enemy we avoided for 47 years? Should we just allow Iran to have a capacity to knock out a European capital? He has to turn the argument on these guys and make them look like what they are, uneducated people. I understand that. I'm not up there. Part of the problem has been that the Republican Party and the White House have done a horrible job of explaining this. And I do my best. We do our best here in everything we do to explain why this is important and what's going on. And what I find ironic is that the Republicans have left the information space barren. It's like, we'll let the Democrats say whatever. Between us girls here, when did the Democrats ever become... We're concerned about affordability or making people's lives better regarding cost. Never. In their term. They wrote that message and made it their own. And the Republicans did nothing to stop it. It's like, exactly. Yeah, exactly. What's up with that? If you take that right now, Colonel, and you say, whenever the Democrats, they're going to put this out. Medicare for all, right? Because they're all screaming about it. The counterpunch is, how much are we spending now on the welfare state? It's a trillion dollars a year. We're $43 trillion in debt. We have this amount of U.S. citizens on the dole when we have full capacity employment. What is the number of illegal aliens in the country right now? And what will it cost to cover them? When that number comes out, the taxpayer might wake up and say, oh my God. They don't explain it like that. Well, you think, you think, Richard, because what happened in 2025 was the Trump administration, Elon Musk and the Doge people let loose how much government waste was going into pretty much, I guess, laundered through for pet projects for politicians, pet projects for the globalists and the Democrats. And they screeched about it. They screeched. These people should realize, to a man, a lot of Democrats from the 90s have come to me and said, well, if America can do this around the world, why can't it offer health care for all? Well, let's put it this way. We know the system would be poor. That's number one. But number two, you could. The reason why some of these European nations can afford all of that is because we've footed the bill for a long time when it came to defense. We have defended them since World War II. It has paid for the expansion of socialism throughout Europe. Yeah, that's beautiful, isn't it? So, Paula, one of the things I want you to tell us about your thoughts on is the fact that so much of what goes on is not just about trying to diminish veterans, but diminish American values. So much of what the left does is they come in and they basically have watered down our society to the point of where, well, evil is accepted as, oh, it's routine. People die, but so what? Things cost too much. We're going to help you with that, but we're going to have to raise your taxes first. If you want free medical care, we've got to ask you for a lot more money. So what is it about the fact that the Democrats get away with lying and people just accept it? Because they offer them free stuff, and that's basically what it is. And I don't understand why they would rather have a capitalist... country than a socialist country. I don't understand why they want that. It makes no sense whatsoever. And I do understand why they're trying to get all these illegals in here so they can vote. For them, all the time, they don't want us ever in power again. They don't want the Republicans ever in power again. They want the liberals to stay in power. Well, that's not a democracy, is it? If you get away with it, that's the thing. If you reward what Biden did with allowing 20 to 25 million people into the country by handing out benefits and then handing out the right citizenship. And they give it to them, and our citizens can't get it. All right, say we get a Republican president again, ever. Thank God. They'll just wait that out. And when there's a Democrat president, if there's a Democrat president in '28, they're just going to open the floodgates. It'll be undone. Because it's rewarded. And unbelievable. No accountability with anything they've ever investigated with anyone, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat, nothing ever comes to them being accountable for it and held accountable for it. They talk about it. They review it. They do all this investigation. For what? Nobody ever gets held accountable for anything. Well, that's one of my big issues. And I know people respond well on X when I talk about this. But I think let's talk about that for a second, because one of the guys who's been most derelict in his duties is John Thune in the Senate. John Thune has done nothing. He needs to be out. And somehow yesterday by acclamation, he's reelected. I can't believe that. I heard that this morning. I'm thinking, is that right? At least in the House. At least in the house, Jim Jordan, my friend Jim Jordan, took over. I don't know how long it'll last. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. And I think, left to his own devices, he's going to do things. I know that he's been pushing investigations. But John Thune has basically said, oh, my values are more important than what people think of me. It's like, okay, that's going to work out really well. Well, so. But, Chris, I want to ask you about that, and we'll go around the room again. Yeah, it's like, what is it about the fact that People like John Thune simply exist in an alternate universe where what they believe to be true is just not. And yet their belief, their own self, their belief in their own self-importance eclipses any ability to actually do anything to help the American people or the Republican Party. What's up with that? Well, first off, it looks like the Republicans just don't want to do anything for the next 54 days. That group. Right. That's number one. And the best guy to pick for all of that is Johnson. He has been a do-nothing before. He hasn't done much when he was an actual rank-and-file senator. What we see now is a mild leader who makes Johnson look like Atticus, if you will. And I don't mean Cory Booker, but it's the same thing on the left. They're probably going to pick Chuck Schumer again, who's disgusting in and of himself. I've heard somewhere where Trump wanted him. Everybody wants Schumer because Schumer is ineffectual and an embarrassment to the party. No, no, no. That's part of the 4D chess. He says that, he's doing that to get people like, oh, we need to hate Chuck Schumer. The next question is, who's going to step up? See, that's the thing. I do know that some Democrats want. I'm going to take a break. Keep talking amongst yourselves. Right. So here's the thing. Yes, the Republicans, who is going to take over? Who is that next generation of leaders, aside from Jim Jordan? But he's in the House. We don't want it to be El Saad or somebody like that. Here you go. I believe the left is going to oust Schumer. I think they're going to pick Schumer. But if they're going to oust Schumer, it opens the door for somebody even worse, like Alyssa Slotkin of the Seditious Six. Your thoughts on that, Rich? Think about that. To me, it's all the same thing. The miracle that is the Democrat Party, since Woodrow Wilson, all of their policy is from the top down. And it incorporates... Anybody at the local level, anybody at the state level, everybody in the party. The whole energy is towards socialism now. So no matter who you have at the head of the party, they're going to try and advance that, and everybody's going to stay in line. The problem with the Republicans is that you have a John Thune on one hand, and you have a Jim Jordan on the other. Which one do you want representing our party? We have to have a Republican party that fights for the Constitution. And they're all together. And family and free enterprise, all these great things, because they're all going to go away if El Saeed gets to where he wants to go. Exactly. The Democratic Party now is not rudderless. It's not cut in half. They're going to have one direction, and it's straight towards socialism. It is, and I don't know why they think that's a good thing. Do they understand what the word means? I don't know that they know the definition of it. Well, I got to ask you. Now, I have a theory that women find socialism palatable because they like having a maternal instinct. They want to take care of everybody. They don't understand that when you take care of everybody, you're controlling everybody. Exactly. And that if the government takes care of your family, you're not. You're taken out of the job. Why are so many women voting for Islamism and socialism? I have no idea. I have no idea. I can give it to you. There's no sense about it unless they have not been taught correctly as they grew up. And I heard it's like the younger majority of college age kids, people and stuff that are starting to vote for this stuff. And I guess they want everything for free. I don't understand why they even go to college for then if they want everything for free. First might have the. ...grade is nothing for free. Richard, I think you already gave the answer to this. You gave the answer. Women, especially the liberal women who don't contribute a lot to begin with, and we're going to get into that, want to take care of everybody in however way they know how, I guess. So you're talking about the last three generations, including part of my generation X, the millennials and generation Z, and of course, Alpha. They were taught Howard Zinn's story rather than real history. They were taught that the that the that history of the world is divided into two factions, oppressors and victims. So when the when the SA types and the Muslims come in to the Democrat Party, the automatic the automatic the automatic response Pavlovian, if you will, for these wine soaked liberal women who really don't contribute much, except for maybe a few TikTok videos where they screech in a couple of no kings parades. They want to make money doing that. They see that the. They see that the brown people of the Muslim faith are the oppressed ones because that's what they were taught. So automatically in their mind, they're thinking we have to take care of them. And since I don't really do anything in society, I don't contribute as a worker or with any brain work whatsoever, I would prefer just to tell everybody else what I'm thinking and vote for these people despite the consequences because I feel good about myself. And I can contribute without really making any sacrifices. That's my thought. So it's, sorry about that. I had Catherine Harris call. Oh, you have to take that call. Yes. You know, I don't know any women that feel like that. So it's people completely out of my wheelhouse because I can't imagine having a friend or anybody that I even know that thinks that way. So I don't know what's wrong with these women. I have no idea. I want to take care of my family. What? We work or whatever to take care of our families. My husband works. We do what we're supposed to do. That's what you're supposed to do, to take care of your family and stuff. And why would you want to take care of all these other people flooding into our country? Why does a woman feel like she wants to do that? It don't make no sense. Well, you contribute, though, Paula. You're raising a family. You're doing, you're. Doing everything you can, you and your husband are contributing to your society. Absolutely. We pay taxes. We pay lots of taxes, and we sure do. What do they do? They just want everything for free. And what's going to happen is they're going to get, Hopefully they don't get what they want. But if they do, they're going to realize, even with Michigan and that. So I'm saying that it's Arab America. Are you kidding me? Who came up with that language, Arab America? I just don't get Michigan at this point doing the stuff they did. I know Mike Rogers, and I think he's a good guy. A lot of the Democrats crossed the line. So I have questions about how it appears that he, great Dr. Al-Sayed, who basically has said he hates Michigan, hates Mackinac Island. I hate. He hated it. He went through there and said it. That's a beautiful island, by the way. And he's like the height of Dr. Fauci's knee, which is already pretty short. My God. Well, I remember you did. In Michigan, these are people who actually keep thinking every year the Lions are going to win it. So I think you understand where they're coming from. This is now Midwest-wide because I'm in Wisconsin here. I'm an exile of the hurricanes in Florida. And what's happened now in Michigan has happened in Minnesota, has happened now in Wisconsin. Wow. You have what used to be the breadbasket of the United States. The heart of the nation is now socialist from one end to the other. And it's really remarkable. And again, it's the women's vote. This is crazy. The fact, I heard a statistic that 53% of Christian churchgoers who are eligible to vote do, which means 47% don't. Everything will be fine. We can sit at home and whoever gets elected, it's not really that big a deal. Well, let's go back to when women are allowed to vote. We really got to wake up. Well, I mean, it's the women that's causing this. It's like there are lots of ways to vote. It was for a man. There are a lot of girly men virtue signalers out there, too. Virtue signaling does not require sacrifice. I think there's a lot of really effeminate men on the left who basically, I think, have to have morning injections of estrogen just to get By the way, I don't know if you know this. I'm sure you're right. Tallarico's favorite trance is now Massick, Thomas Massick. That's really sad. All right. Tallarico. So I was thinking about this. Just that... Senator Fetterman, ever since he had the stroke, he kept regaining brain cells and then started thinking more straight and then just trying to infuse common sense into that party every week. So when he's been gaining brain cells, you have to have an equal and opposite reaction, the yin and yang theory. Well, Thomas Massey apparently was losing brain cells over the years, but I still think his stunt. It was nothing more than show as far as trying to impeach Pete Hegseth. That's ridiculous. You can't impeach a guy for doing his job and doing it well. He did a great job. He's doing a great job. Let me go through this a bit. So one of the things that I've noticed, here it is, that I put on X. So one of the standards, the lack of standards, the eight elements that Thomas Massey listed were emotional stupidity. So let me go through what I put regarding the previous Secretary of Defense, and it was Defense, not war back then, and Lloyd Austin. Now, I've talked about, you all know, you read Dark Heart, I worked for Lloyd Austin. Lloyd Austin was a brigadier general back then. And so what's notable about Lloyd Austin is that he actually is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. And let me go through some of the things. Have you worked for him? Back. I did back when he was in Afghanistan in 2000. When he was okay? He wasn't okay. He was an idiot back then. Oh, no, he wasn't. Okay, I don't know. Some people are idiots their entire career. He was one of them. So let me go through and talk about what he did, because I think it's good to recognize that he was not a bad Secretary of Defense. He was a criminal. So let's go through this. So one of the things that Lloyd Austin started off by doing, as soon as he came in, he did this white supremacist search. They were looking for white supremacists in the Department of Defense. Oh, my God, they're everywhere. So he did this whole first thing he did is directed a review from top to bottom. And it was a witch hunt. It was designed to go through and eliminate anybody who actually supports the concepts that Richard and what he puts in his books, the idea of a republic. And if you weren't woke, if you weren't on board with DEI, you're a white supremacist. You're gone. So this is the first thing he did. It was illegal. Next thing he did. He managed the debacle we know as the Afghan withdrawal. He approved the basic concepts. He deployed the people to do it. And we left $10 billion of military gear in the hands of a foreign terrorist organization, declared the Taliban. Then, oh, by the way, because of his restrictive rules of engagement, 13 people died because they couldn't shoot at a guy that was obviously a terrorist because of the rules prohibited them from doing it. That was Lloyd Austin. Wow. And then on top of that, he issued directives and orders for individuals of the Department of Defense to include civilians to take an experimental shot known as COVID-19 shot. It was experimental. And that was deprivation of rights and putting someone's life in jeopardy, where we've now come to find that the actual drugs were not adequate, didn't do the job, and actually created heart conditions, some of which resulted in death. Others have permanent injury. He did that. He, and by the way, when you hear this vicious six, oh, you got to refuse illegal orders. That wasn't a legal order. That was an illegal order, and yet people accepted that order. By the way, and that's what Pete's doing right now is pissing them all off. He's eliminating anybody who accepted that illegal order. They're gone. Bye. See ya. They need to be gone. So this is why all these people are, oh, my God, he's denying the promotion of black women. No, he's denying promotion to people who supported DEI and were actually discriminating internally and trying to skin color over merit, over capability. That's what's going on. So when I hear the left. Go on and on, and I've been going back at all these politicians today on this issue. When they, oh, piece of war criminal, like, no. This man, Lloyd Austin, you all said nothing. When he did a whole range of things that are provably seditious, provably high crimes, not a word. We're going to try to get him again in January. I know. Well, we'll see. We'll see. Mm-hmm. They're going to learn some lessons between now and then they may not like. There's more coming. Okay. Anyway, so. Anyway, back to you, Chris. Sorry, I wanted to get that out there. No, that's great information. All right, I have a couple of things. I want to get to Jennifer Welch, but first we have Richard here and you've been studying our politics, our political landscape throughout history. No, you've been studying political landscapes from ancient history on forward. Right now, you're seeing a Republican Party, which is realizing that the people within it I wanted something. better, wanted a more of an America first type mentality. And they have to regroup from that. But what you're also seeing with the Democrat Party is they did gain power as a unit during the last election. The thing is, though, they're going to be in the midst of a three-pronged power struggle, a civil war, if you will, between the old guard, the Schumers and Pelosi's of the world, and those who follow them, the so-called moderates. The state types, the crazy, wild-eyed lunatics who usually would be laughed off of politics or of any circle under a normal political landscape. And of course, you have the Islamists who have taken advantage and found a way to infiltrate a political system through a major party. But these three ideologies are vastly different in a lot of ways, and they're going to come to a head. What do you see here in the next five to 10 years between these three? Well, you can only you can only hope, Chris, right, that they come to blows over this. But what you have is the Democrat Party that for 100 years to speak is historic. Since Woodrow Wilson has been growing socialism slowly without saying it, without running in elections on it, and now you have the social, the DSA now has invaded that organization, that 200-year-old organization, and now holds its organization as in its own keeping. It owns the organization, it owns the wealth of the organization, it now owns the media, right? The kowtows to the Democrat Party. So they've been very effective. And the Islamists have now done the same thing. And so you're right. How do you reconcile this? My hope, my great hope is that persons like John Fetterman, moderate Democrats. He's the normal one. Well, he's the normal one. Where the DSA wants to go, where the Islamists want to go and says, no, I can't go there. I can't defend and serve the Constitution, sanction sanctuary cities to this extent. Or take behead the Department of War while we're in a conflict with Iran. That seems to me just, and I would bring it to you, Colonel, who is rejoicing over Hegseth? Being attacked more than Iran. Well, so let's go through that. He actually used, and full disclosure, I've been going back with, I was talking to Catherine Herridge. Catherine Herridge was actually there in the front row of the press conference yesterday, and we were talking a little bit about that today, this morning. To that point, Pete Hegseth correctly brings up the damage the Democrats are doing. And let's go through the spectrum of damage. So this started back with the seditious six, with the world-famous space monkey and handshaver Mark Kelly. By the way, he has to shave his hands every day so he can pound his keyboard and get things done. I'm starting to speak now. So he's a chimpanzee. Anyway, that's what they all do. Anyway, so you've got Mark Kelly. You've got Beaker's wife. What's her name, Chris? A wonderlander. Maggie Goodlander. She was Homelander's stupid cousin. Remember Homelander from The Boys? Oh, she was the inbred cousin, I guess. She was the stupid cousin who didn't cut it. Anyway, so Goodlander. You've got Elsa, the she-wolf of the SS, Elsa Schlotkin. By the way, she was great in that movie. Did you ever see that? It was like B-horror back in the 70s. Elsa, she-wolf of the SS, which is a great... She was a lot thinner back then, too. She didn't have to use those zippers. And it's true. It's true. It's true. She's. She constantly wants to bubble up. She's got so much rage. She just is constantly bubbling up and filling her face. Anyway, my point is, it's true. And then this Jason Crow, who, by the way, if you ever see this guy, he's got this two-day growth, and it looks like he smells like he's been in the men's room of the Amtrak Acela station for the past week. And it does. I don't even know who you're talking about. That doesn't sound like a pretty picture. What's his last name? His last name is Crow. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Yep. Oh, my God. Go to my ex. I post on all this. Anyway. Okay. I just don't get on ex much, but I'm going to go and look at your stuff. Well, you'll enjoy it. People will always enjoy my commentary. Okay, I'm going to go on there. The three I just mentioned are half of the seditious six. The other three are chills. Maybe draw on the ire of... People, it's not a good idea. Anyway, so Goodlander, Slotkin, and the world-famous Space Monkey, Mark Kelly have continued to be the seditious fools they are. And so they have led the effort to undermine confidence in Pete. Now, even though Pete has driven up, and I just, again, this is on X, so you can go look at it. I don't have time to go through it again. They put out the facts. The Pentagon put out the facts of all the things that Pete has accomplished, and they're significant. And I feel bad for my friend Pete to go through this because it's nonsense. Anyway, the point being to what... Richard was just saying is that our enemies pay attention. They watch this. And so when you started off with this edition six and now you have this full blown effort and they were like a mob yesterday. You went on X and looked at everybody had got their talking points and they were mimicking them. They were like a bunch of parrots just regurgitating them, ignoring the facts I just put out earlier regarding Lloyd Austin. If you're going to be someone who says, oh, I'm critical of the Department of Defense or Department of War, look no further than Lloyd Austin and his serial and severe failures that he got away with. Oh, the one I forgot to mention, which is the most severe, he literally abandoned his post for a week. Nobody was in charge of the nuclear arsenal. For a week. Did he get charged for anything? Nobody knew where he was at. That's what happens. Nobody knew what was going on. The White House couldn't reach him. And oh, by the way, nobody was in charge of our nuclear weapons. That's, oh my gosh. And he admitted this. He, Austin, admitted this in a hearing. No accountability. Yep. Let me finish my rant. I'm in the middle of it. So when I hear then the Democrats trying to demagogue and go after a guy who I know personally. Who I know has been doing an effective job. I don't always agree with his decisions, but I respect his decisions. He works for a president who is very demanding, who will not put up with failure. And so that's the job description. So you want to go and eliminate this and the enemies see this. The enemies of our country see this, Richard. And it's very dangerous. It's very dangerous. Hold on. If you have a Democrat party that was funding Iran during the Biden administration. Yep. during the Obama administration for this HECOA. If they get the signal now, hey, if you just hold out two years, we're going to have a Democrat president and we're going to go back to funding you and everything's going to be fine. Just hold out. That's the message they're getting right now. And to the people of Iran, they're getting the contrary message. If we revolt now, we're going to get butchered again. So it's the Democrat Party never fails to work against what's in the interest of the country. They don't. They don't care. They're not working for us. They're not. Absolutely not. They're working for other countries and for illegals. So when you and so this is one of the things I learned and again my ex-account. So apparently Democrats, Paula, have been doing this as a form of ensuring election victory, even against the rules. So what has happened during the Biden years where they flooded the border? You had non-governmental organizations and think tanks tracking all these people, getting their names, their information. And so once they got into the country, then these nonprofits then gave the information to the Democrat Party, who then the Democrat Party gave it to local Democrat jurisdictions. So I think this whole voting thing was prompted by fraud. Absolutely. I truly believe that. They were able to link illegal immigration, which are millions of peoples. People to basically getting the information, having it available as data, giving it to the Democrat Party, Democrat Party, then dispersing it to all the local Democrat parties and people and the election folks who had control of the election. And then basically recruiting and making sure these people could vote. They don't have to show their ID. We have to in Arkansas. No, a lot of places. No, a lot of places in New York. See, there's a problem. That's a problem. Hold on. Nine out of 10. Of the most populous states in America now are now run by Democrats. Yep. And all these people, all these tens of millions of people have gone into these urban centers. Yep. And for the reason Tony is saying right now, to get indoctrinated, to get registered, and to replace. The electorate that doesn't want Democrats in office. Let me say something about the ID thing. So one of the things I need to explain so you can put it in context of what you're saying regarding ID. We in North Carolina have approved an amendment to the Constitution requiring voter ID, which is true. We do. But this is the problem. Everybody who gets a driver's license gets registered, and they don't ask if you're illegal or not. Right. Thank you. So it wouldn't really do any good. You can walk into a polling place, and they're going to ask you for your ID, and they're going to make sure you have an address, but they're not going to ask if you're a citizen. That's why they fought so hard, and Richard, I think you backed me up on this, so hard to make sure that, oh, you can have voter ID, because they've got ahead of that. They now have. They have an ID. You don't have to prove that you're an American citizen. Oh, there you go. Well, and my thing is, too, do they not understand? It's so simple that what they are coming from, their countries, over to a free country. Do they realize that who they're voting for is going to change this country to the one they just came from? How do they not understand that? Well, they don't. Because they want free for all. And that's all they think about is, I don't want to work. I just want everything for free. But they're getting themselves in the same situation. They're voting for the same thing that they just left. Well, I think you nailed it on the head. They want free, not for all. They want free for themselves. They want to make sure everything is easier for them. These are people who now seem to not mind paying an extra whole crap load of money to order their fast food on DoorDash, where they can very well get up in their cars. And get it themselves. This is a society that's hoping for the universal basic income so they don't have to. Again, I'm not saying everybody, but there's enough people here. The Mitt Romney 47% has probably gotten a little bit bigger at this point in this country. And that's devastating to the entire republic. And we're not going to see the same country in 25 to 30 years, maybe even 5 to 10, if this trend keeps continuing. It's scary. It is so scary. Right. It's all selfish. They call us selfish. But they want everything. They want to feel good about themselves, pretend they're helping others, but get everything for free. And the gas prices are starting to come down now. Well, the Republicans, the Democrats are going to take credit for it when they come in off. They're not even sworn in yet. Of course. Look at NASDAQ. Look at the Dow Jones. Prices are down to 3.01. The markets are NASDAQ. Right. And another thing, there's no way. Texas turned blue. I'm sorry. You can't even pronounce the new governor's name. There's no way that was legal. No way. Well, they had Ann Richards. Is it Lahore? No, I'm just kidding. You can't pronounce it. Good luck. One name you can pronounce as far as evil leftists are concerned. One name you can pronounce as far as evil leftists are concerned is Jennifer Welch. Oh, yes. She, we've talked about this. We tend to take a little bit of time to. rag on her a little bit because she's absolutely awful. She's nasty. Her attitude is garbage, if you will. She's a liberal podcaster, right? She's a reality star who... She's the spawn of Satan. She's a reality star... Well, she's a reality star who had a general interest show and apparently fancies herself a political commentator. So she starts... Her and her idiot friend Angie Sullivan... Pumps! Pumps, if you will. She looks like a punk. I would say they were making fun of Charlie Kirk. I do not want to play the video where they're laughing at Charlie Kirk. I don't want to promote that. You've seen it. Everybody's seen that one. They laughed at a commenter who's... And they lost like $8 million. Right. And that bears another question. But here they are begging for sponsoring and begging people, begging other sponsors not to go away and trying to get some other viewers. Here you go. Do we cuss and do? Yes, we do. We feel this passionately. And our brand of fighting fascists. Brand. And our fan, our brand of MAGA slaying and Turning Points slaying is not for everybody. But it's for those of you that tune in. I like that. That's a superior smirk. Our show is not for everybody. Because people aren't smart enough to watch us. That's snobbery. Well, it's worse than snobbery. It presumes that. Somehow she's entitled to have the airtime. Now, we do our best to earn our audience trust. Richard, you've been part of our little family here for a while now. We do our best to bring people on who people can know that what they're saying is true. And while we're a bit pointed, we're not vicious. We're not going to presume or wish the death on others like she does. I appreciate you saying this. You bring up critical questions and you address them with facts. Exactly. And humor. And humor. We make fun of things. And humor. So go ahead, Chris. Keep going. All right. Let's do a little more. All right. I'm trying to bring Paula back in too, by the way. I have questions for Paula. Okay. Looks like they're not playing on this for some reason. Anywhere. Make sure you're subscribed. Just to subscribe. That's a little weird. YouTube or anywhere you get your podcasts is free. If you want to sponsor us financially, you can become a member on YouTube or join us on Substack. Follow us on all. Well, you can do the same here. Join us, become a member here. We're going to have all social media, because at the end of the day, ever since turning, and this is a turning Turning Point, they're trying to, and this is where we're going, they're trying to make Turning Point the villain, like Turning Point organized a whole campaign to get rid of them too. Now it was actual, the people who saw them, people who went to the sponsors and that's independent people did this. It's not an organized effort. I did it, I went to Chewy. No, I went to Chewy. They were very receptive. Let me hit that real quick. So, and by the way, for the record, I know I said this earlier to Richard and the team. If your face looks like roadkill, God bless Jennifer Welch for making the most of it. I swear to God, if you end up looking like something that you'd see on, I don't know, Highway 17 at 2 a.m. waking up and looking at that in the mirror in the morning and she's got makeup on. I know, that's what I'm saying. It's like, that's the best she can do. And it's not good. And I'm sorry. Let me apologize for those who like Bill Nye. I apologize for telling people that Bill Nye transitioned and became Jennifer Welch. I apologize for that because I've gotten so many complaints. I've gotten so many complaints from people who like Bill Nye. It's like, Bill is not trans, but if he was trans, that would be it. Just saying. Just saying. Anyway. What a possibility. He could have put a mop on his head. Back to the moat soap. One of the things I want to hit real quick, and I want you guys to jump in on, so I call Chewy. I have cats. You guys know I have cats. I've got these two amazing sphinxes, Manny and Reuben, and Chewy does a great job. One of my cats, he was almost 20 years old, bugged the king bug. The cat died, and they shut off auto shipping. God, Chewy sent me a picture, a real artistic picture, because I'd shared it with him at some point. And they gave us, without asking, they asked me why I shut off my auto shipping while my cat passed. Oh, really? Is that Mr. Buggles? And they asked me all these questions. Next thing I know, they send me this really nice tribute to Bugg. Did you post that? Huh? Did you post that picture? I did post that. I saw that. And it's like, man, what company does this? Yeah, that's awesome. They volunteer. So I called them on this Jennifer Walsh thing. I said, look, I subscribe. You guys can check my record. These are all the things I buy. You guys did this amazing tribute to my cat, Bugg. Why are you supporting hate? Why is your brand that does such a great job of warmth and love and caring for people and their pets? Why are you supporting the spawn of Satan? And they did say, no, we're looking into this. And by the way, they were very polite and said, we're giving you to a supervisor. They passed me over. I laid out my claim, and they listened politely. It's like, yeah, I think there's something we have to do here. So I'm just saying, a lot of the sponsors maybe were not paying attention to how hateful, vicious, and maligning their program was. So, I don't know. Lisa, the next question. How in the heck are these two with a moderate-level podcast? Getting all this backing and being able to shrug off the $8 million or whatever they're going to be losing. It looks like they're going to still run along. And it looks like somebody or some machine is backing them. Remember, the left has been looking all along for what they call the left-wing Joe Rogan, which they already had because that was Joe Rogan. Another story for another day. But it looks like, just like on social media, they prop up liberal opinions. There has to be some money propping these people up. Well, it's the hate machine. I think. Richard, I think, I'll start with you on this. I think there's an undercurrent of funding that comes from Soros, from that Singh guy, the Chinese guy. Neville Royce Singh. Is he like 150 now? Neville Royce Singh. If you think it isn't, somebody will take his place. If you think there's no CCP in this funnel of monies into America, they're naive. The Chinese are behind it, too. What do you think? What has to, the hope we have to, when we take this example, the hope we have to draw is that socialism is based on hating people. Socialism is based on dehumanizing people. So you could take everything away from them and feel good about it. That's socialism. It's why it's 180 degrees opposite to our system of free enterprise and individual rights and having a constitutional republic as opposed to a mob democracy. If the Democrats were in power today, they would have taken Hegseth out and hung him. Literally. They're going to still try to do that. So we have to have a counterpunch for every time they show their hate on our podcast. They show their envy. They show their willingness to steal. What happened to property rights? What if your sister is trying to take that property? Richard, let me ask you a question about that issue because one of the things that we talk about often, and I do these little videos, videos which I did one that got nearly 200,000 views of me just driving in the truck talking, and I was talking about the issue of the failure of accountability. People are hot about the fact our side did not go after the actual observed fraud. What is it going to take, Richard, in your view, for our side to do something fine? Well, this, in this last, in the last two years that we have of the Trump presidency, I have been arguing we have to go right at the fraud issue because the more we find out, the more the Democrats are involved as a pack of party thieves. Making sure all this money goes to their own, right? That's right. No, and we have to expose. I would like Trump to go to work on immigration. Why? Because you can put numbers to it. He can ask, well, Democrats, how many illegal aliens are there? And how much does it cost? What's the daily cost to the American taxpayer to take care of all the illegal aliens here now? And you can get the numbers on paper, both of the fraud and the socialism they're proposing. And this is how we have to counterpunch for two years now. And do what Reagan did in his last couple of years was be very effective. He was very effective. And they're flooding over here again. I heard they're all flooding back to the border. Of course. They've been shown. They're being told just what Iran is being told by going after Hegseth. Yes. It's all going to go back to normal. We're going to be able to repeat America. Yeah. So, Paula, I guess I put the question to you then because, to me, the gloves ought to come off. Pam Bondi apparently was a close subordinate or affiliate of Susie Wiles, I think, has been. And Richard, you can chime in on this. I think she's been the primary firewall to protect the left, the mono party. Her job was to basically moderate Trump's best instincts and try to maintain the fraud for both sides. I think that's what was going on. So she came from she came from the K Street class of lobbyists. And she was good at that. And she was excellent at that. But it's the wrong person to go after the swamp. That's fine and dandy, but do something about it after the investigation is over with and after you prove that she was... I see Tim's comment. I knew Rand was a slimeball. Wiles was worse because she was an activist. Yes, she knew what she was doing. She was active. Did she have her daughter involved with it also? Yes, she did. Her daughter's law firm made $126 million over the last two years. Born to be wild. Well, this is. Now, hold on, hold on. This is everything described, the growth of this culture. There you go. All right, let's put this button closer. This is the history. Okay, what is that? The history of how the administrative state. Put it way up, put it up. Put that up again there. I'm going to see. How the administrative state unelected people. Work with K Street to take the voter out of any decision. Do we have to order that or can we get that at a bookstore? If you go to the DNA of democracy dot com, you can download the digital for free. OK, there you go. We'll put it up. We'll make sure that that's up for folks to check. And it's right here. And it just shows that I'll put it on my X account, too. I'll make sure that the folks can get it on X, too. And what happens is all the wealth of the entire country is raked into Washington, D.C. It's spent through the administrative state with just a vote on these massive omnibus budgets. Right. And then that most of the money goes to Democrat. The constituencies and causes and Republicans fight, loving to be the minority, to get whatever they can. Exactly. That's the history we're dealing with. And Trump was right. Let's go after the swamp. Let's drain it. Let's get rid of this. But he goes in with Wiles, who is apologetic for it and doesn't want to attack. Unbelievable. And then she becomes the poster child for her. Is it the daughter, Tony, or the daughter-in-law? Daughter. No, it's the daughter. The daughter. It's the daughter. The daughter has made $180,000. It's like the Biden, where Hunter goes and collects money for his family, right? Same thing on the Republican side. I thought Pete Hegseth is the one that needs to be investigated. Well, let's talk about that real quick for a second. So last week. Beginning of the week after the election, there was this talk about making a sacrificial, one of the members of the administration walked the plank, so to speak, to put it in pirate terms. And that person was Pete Hegseth. And so I started getting interview requests from Australia, which I've done too on. And it's like, oh, well, why is Pete going to be shown the door? It's like, well, he's not. And I got the question on Newsmax. Well, it turns out, and by the way, then the rumors started going up on Breitbart, on our media, which I consider mostly honest, like, he's not going. And then presidents ask about it, and it's like, no, I'm not getting rid of Pete. But somehow there was this growing effort to basically push to the point of where we're at now to get rid of Hegseth. So I would argue, Richard, that this was a alliance between those who are inside the administration who want Trump to fail. And the Democrats, and Trump, and the first guy they wanted to go after, especially if there's a coming color revolution, which I don't want to get into today, but it relates to the coming Democratic Civil War. If there's going to be a color revolution, they want Pete out of it. Of course they do, because he knows what he's doing. And the perfect example of the Republican go-along stuff. Who's the other senator, the Republican still from Texas? What's his name? Oh, Cruz. No, that's not him. Cruz, right? Yeah, the guy that's leading it. Oh, he's going to run for president now. But what he is already saying, well, Hegseth has gone already. He's going to either resign or he's going to be impeached. What is that for a Republican to say? Exactly. In the wake of this election, you have to get up and fight. This guy's already surrendered. Senator Cornyn. A bushy, a bushy, by the way. Definitely a man who is still there. That's right. I do want to throw this at you guys. I'm sorry. Is that? Jennifer Welch's book that she pushes on everybody. . . Well, I corrected the title. . . . And this is more appropriate, I guess, for that, right? . . Not today, Jenny. . The lies and wine that got her here. I think seeing this reminds me that Preparation H needs a new sponsor, a new person. And it comes for child. That's a preparation face right there. Yeah, that's for sure. That's an embryo that needs to be treated. A castor oil face. There we go. Evil. Pure evil. Absolutely. Anyway, so we've got to start wrapping it up because we're over time, aren't we? We're coming up on an hour. So anyway, we thank you all for being here today. Richard, tell us one more time because if you want to be prepared to stop a civil war or a color revolution, You need to pick up his books. Richard, tell us about your books again. It's a three-volume series so far. This is the DNA of Democracy. It's volume one. It's the how and why our government was created the way it was. How tyranny has lent to our Constitution by being overcome at certain periods of history. Volume, and it ends with the Civil War and how Abraham Lincoln was a liberator of the South. In Volume 2, this is a chronicle of another kind. This is a chronicle of the last hundred years of how socialism has grown since Woodrow Wilson and the creation of the administrative state, which is part of the ideal state theory of Frederick Hegel and Karl Marx, actually. Volume 3 is a series of articles done over the past three years, all in, all through different publications. They are articles that show the battlegrounds between our founding principles and the And socialism, its current events laid out and where the fight is between the socialism that these Democrats are proposing and our founding principles, which we need to hang on to at all costs. Well, those are awesome books, I'm sure. Chris, can you do the closeout? Because I've got to go and do Rob Carson. So thank you all for being here. Chris, we'll do the closeout. Can I ask one more question? Sure, let's do it. Should we really be scared for a 30-day, 90-day shutdown or anything like that? Just be prepared. Always have enough food and resources for 30 days. Always. Okay. Thanks, Judy, by the way. For 30 days. Okay. Thank you. It's true. Always take care of yourself. Take care of your family. And having resources at home for 30 days is extremely important. Okay. Again, it's basic survival anyway. It could, anything, even for a storm, even for, or something that may have happened. Maybe your neighbors are really annoying. You don't want to get out of the house or something like that. And I do have a set of those. There's some weirdos streaking like in 1974 and Ray Stevens is going to come out singing again. Now don't look Ethel. I know. I haven't heard that in years. That is hilarious. Check it out, Richard. Thank you. The DNA of Democracy series. Are you on and stuff like that, Richard? Yes. Okay. I'll go on there. Nice to meet you, Paula. Nice to meet you, too. And the website address, DNA of, it's the DNA of Democracy. DNAofDemocracy.com. Yes. Okay. And that's what you're seeing right here. Check it out. It's easy to get to, DNAofDemocracy.com. Thank you very much, Richard. Thank you very much, Paula. And thank you all for being with us. Bye-bye. Thanks.
