in the end most governments are run by a small group of people for their own benefit without reference to what the majority wants only in America right only in America I agree absolutely he said in that moment he understood that everything had changed for the country and for himself remember 3 years ago we were energy independent and now our country is a mess this whole thing is born of the hatred and the contempt of the left everybody's been either indicted sent to jail did some kind of plea has been unable to find a job has been bankrupted by civil suits like everybody's been destroyed no one on the left has been destroyed at all he shot to kill the former president is it a miracle he's alive congressman and former US Army sniper Cory Mills what kind of shot was this Cory from 130 yards look at the end of the day this is a shot that you're basic training boot camp Soldier is requested to make within their 9we period this is one of the easiest shots and they train all the way out till 300 or 500 and when I was doing the counter sniper it wasn't with the United States Army it was actually when I was with the state department and was doing this exact thing which is trying to look at going out with an advanced team establishing what the perimeter is and then as a sniper when you would set up you'd put together your range sketch or your range fan cards and that would tell you where you're 100 your 200 your 300 and you'd identify the are areas of threat that you would be able to mitigate and if there's multiple targets you understand that your elevation and windage knob wouldn't have to be messed with especially at 160 yards you could literally just look quickly glance and know from the reference point whether it be a building whether it be a Lone Tree whether it be a parking lot maybe it's a road bottom line is is that this is massive negligence to the point of me speculating on what was intentional and what wasn't you know I can only speculate and we'll have to wait until the investigation comes out that they thought local law enforcement was potential climbing up onto the roof when they saw a dark object on a light roof but here's the issue wait you're saying maybe they misconstrued Crooks for a friendly for local law enforc it's very possible I don't want to speculate until the investigation is over but the bottom line is that if you saw someone climbing onto a roof that you hadn't authorized any clearance on it's got a clear line of sight it's exactly adjacent to the shooting where the president was sitting and you're talking about a POP shot and you got people yelling and there should have been CS the minute that that local law enforcement who apparently had a rifle pointed on there should have been an emergency frequent comms channel that they could have said we have a shooter on the roof shooter on the roof Secret Service should have rushed the stage and immediately took the president and took him off and then responded with the counter sniper the shot should not have gone off that is the failure in itself you're supposed to be able to try you know the best security is when you go in and you're actually able to prevent an incident not react to an incident even if you would have left a law enforcement officer's patrol car in that parking lot with the lights on that could have been a deterrent but when you have nothing that is actually showing Force protection ction you're encouraging this look I'm not sure about who the individuals are on the individual detail secret service but I can tell you under this Biden Administration the one thing I've seen is massive Dei hires and I can tell you when you Prim when you primarily go after Dei you end up with Dee the minute that a shot rang out they should have already been on scope your spotter should have already have called the distance if you hadn't looked at your range card and you should immediately engaged there should have been no reason to have waited a single second now I talked to Eric Trump after the incident Eric and I are both gun enthusiast we both shoot long distance that right there is a pop shot but he did say I've gone out with the Cs teams and they are one of the best I he knows the actual the service detail that's with them they are loyal individuals who actually do care about the president I can say that was that was relay to me but the bottom line is this is a massive security breach this is a huge failure at negligence is at best but we have to figure out why something within 200 yard think about this Jesse 200 yard that means that an average rifle that holds one minute of angle would hold a 2-in grouping if you just shot it straight off the deck meaning on the on a platform so now you're talking about 160 which is 1.6 in is what its grouping capabilities are the average head is what 6 by8 shoulder Tosh shoulder is 20 in head to waist is 40 Ines and president Trump's a very large man this is a shot that within five minutes I could teach you to make nine out of 10 times so this is divine intervention this is the the god having his protective hand and wearing Ephesians six the armor of God over the president because this right here a millisecond or a millimeter in change and this isn't an attempt assassination this is an assassination of a president in the end most governments are run by a small group of people for their own benefit without reference to what the majority wants we are supporting a government paying for the entire government that has banned opposition parties put opposition leaders in jail shutting down free speech Tucker Carlson boldly declares that the election was rigged from the start revealing a system controlled by a privileged few Trump gets the nomination like what happens then I think you're going to probably see the same things that we saw in 2015 and 2016 and what this shows is that Americans have really come to the conclusion that our leading institutions of authority are radically corrupted and so now Donald Trump is in a position where he's facing serious felony charges I don't think serious in the sense that they're real but they're serious in the sense that if he's convicted he'll go to jail they're they're felony charges and yet his lead is expanding over Joe Biden in part because people I think see the Injustice of it free speech is the Cornerstone of democracy yet its erosion threatens the very Foundation of our electoral process you get a majority of people to vote for something that's now the law and that's totally untrue you could put it in a ballot referendum some judge will overturn it well what about democracy you can spend billions of dollars on a foreign policy theory that nobody actually supports shocking poll results expose Biden's vulnerabilities in key swing States raising doubts about the Integrity of the electoral system a country without free speech is not a democracy free speech is a prerequisite to democracy you can't have it without you can't have a dinner party without dinner you can't have a democracy without Free Speech period our media Outlets are radically corrupted the Department of Justice and the legal system has been aggressively politicized you can have a system that nobody actually supports except the people directly benefiting from it this is this is the main thing I've learned in the past 5 years that I never I'm 54 I've lived in this country my whole life and because I unlike everyone else in Washington actually kind of believed in the basic premise of democracy which is the majority rules that's the most basic fact of democracy the people run their own government so I don't think this is new I think it's just kind of reappeared as something else and we have always had these people will they they when they get to The Ballot Box vote against Trump principally well they did it in 2015 and 2016 and it didn't have an impact as Citizens we must demand that our leaders address the pressing issues that truly matter to the American people so I have to ask about President Biden these polls come out over the weekend showing that he's losing in a theoretical matchup among registered voters in five out of six swing States the biggest swing States it looks like if the election were held today not much changes he would lose and immediately you have David Axelrod Bill Crystal you know pretty devoted Biden voters saying we need a new guy what do you make of that polling do you think it reflects reality and what do you think will happen to Biden I think the most amazing part about this Tucker is that the if if any leading American politician had even gotten near the possibility of an indictment 10 years ago the prospect of them running for high office would be instantly over and here you have Donald Trump who has been indicted on felony charges in four different American jurisdictions two state jurisdictions two Federal jurisdictions and not only has it not harmed him it actually has helped him in the polls for sure among Republican voters his lead has expanded every time he's indicted but also among American independence and even groups that traditionally support Democrats almost reflexively like black voter who 22% of in this latest poll we've seen similar polls say they would vote for Trump over Biden and 42% of Latinos the emergence of a protest santis movement highlights the Persistence of the never Trump faction within the Republican party and I hate to believe that that's true in this country but all the evidence suggests that it is in fact it's provable you know how you prove it public opinion polling take a look at the latest Gallup poll pick a poll what are the top 10 issues for people in United States and then compare those to the priorities of your leaders so people are leaving Michigan because it's very hard to make a living here and you're constantly hassled by a government that never stops growing and that is leeching off an economy that hasn't grown in decades okay that's the truth take a look at the priorities of the low IQ lunatic who's running your state Gretchen Whitmer who deserves zero respect no respect her priorities are what putting you in jail if you quote misgender somebody what percentage of the population of the state of Michigan even Southeastern Michigan is on board with that as a top concern it's like roughly around a tenth of 1% okay in that range the things that people care about gret and Whitmer couldn't care less about because democracy isn't functioning in the name of preserving democracy our fundamental freedoms have been sacrificed undermining the very principles we claim to defend you got to kind of wonder where this is going now that you know basically no one in the establishment in Washington is for the front runner in the Republican Presidential primaries I think there has always been a never Trump contingent it has manifested itself now as Pro DeSantis a lot of the never trumpers became you know very Pro disantis some elements of it obviously people are that want kind keep the military industrial complex everywhere always been antitrump so hate speech laws yeah hate speech laws that are dressed up as something more noble and it's like no this is actually a law that is is fundamentally anti- speech and if you want to debate that we can and we should have that debate but it again always seems to be reduced to smears and lials and not an academic discussion which it should be defending our rights is as straightforward as protecting our homes from Intruders yet the battle for democracy remains fiercely contested by the way isn't it it's so interesting and narcissists are this way the projection involved it's like whatever it is they're doing and I mean at a precise level is exactly what they accuse you of doing you're democracy really I like democracy democracy would give people without money and without a TV show some voice in how they are governed therefore I'm for it and they want exactly the opp opposite so the middle class in America which has been not the majority since 2015 and the anniversary that nobody noticed has less economic power than it's ever had that's why Trump got elected in my view and now it has less political power than it's ever had so if you were taking power away from large segments of your population You Are by definition attacking democracy that's exactly what you're doing there's no other name for it so that's the first thing I noticed in the name of Defending democracy we took away the things we need to have democracy which is our core freedoms guaranteed in the Bill of Rights just as in our for democracy Now shutting down an election and putting dissident priests in prison it's such a democracy they don't have elections anymore that's how pure a democracy it is but the second thing and what's I think more appable to this conversation I learned is that their response was the tell if you want to know what they care about if you want to know what's important listen to how they respond when you say something unapproved about it Republican voters remain steadfast in their support for Trump signaling a formidable force in future electoral battles how many Texans do you think are all on board with letting 7 million people crossed into their state illegally what percentage zero zero I don't care what your race or national origin nobody is for that that's insane has the governor of Texas done anything meaningful to stop that no the Republican Governor he's got a National Guard he's the commander-in-chief of the National Guard and it's Texas so they're all large and they have double stack magazines in their sidearms you think they couldn't stop that in a week if they of course just assemble along the border we're not we're not doing this no he refuses to do that he won't do it and it's not like no one suggested I've suggested to him three times including in private at a cocktail party in Dallas last year what are you doing man don't you have a National Guard why don't you seal the Border oh it's very complicated no it's not no it's not if someone's trying to break into my house it's not complicated to repel the person do you have a firearm or don't are you willing to defend your house and your children or are you well it's it's more complicated that really tell me how speak slowly so I can understand it's not more complicated than that it's more dishonest than that you're lying to me you don't want to do it because your donors don't want you to do it it's that simple Greg Abbott liar liar and worse than liar betrayer of your own people that's what that's what that is I was polite at the cocktail party so I didn't say any of that but I I fumed internally like an Episcopalian I thought those things but the point is if you assume that just because everybody wants something you're going to get it think again pal it's very likely that in fact you won't get anything that you want you will just pay for what a small group of other people want that's the way it works Boo Boo is right Boo is right it's not just frustrating it's a betrayal of the core promise of the country which is the people rule that's a act despite efforts to vilify him a significant portion of Americans reject the notion of imprisoning the former president boying Trump's prospects what is your prediction for how the next year or exactly a year from the election plays out is it Trump versus Biden November I mean what do you think is going to happen I mean it seems to me like Republican voters have very consistently made clear that Trump is their candidate I just wanted to add one point about this next year which I think is so important I know it's taboo we're not supposed to ever say anything good about Trump but the reality is Tucker and I think people are going to realize this more and more is that Trump was the first American President in decades in decades not to involve the United States in a new whereas here you have Joe Biden seemingly there's a new popping up all the time he wants to involve the United States and everyone send all their money overseas for them and at the same time they remember that the economy was vibrant and good before they you can't lie on the American people about their own experiences their lived experiences the left likes to say and I think as the next year approaches people are going to start to think about and compare what their lives are like under Joe Biden where there's everywhere and inflation and economic turmoil what it was like during Donald Trump and I think they're going to be increasingly immune to the propaganda and to me I don't see anything in the Republican Party obviously that can change that suggests that they will abandon Trump now maybe the one variable is that if Trump is actually convicted than just indicted and charged as he is now maybe that will change Republican voters or maybe that will change the electorate as a whole I don't think so though because I think they look at this Judicial System there's nothing that Trump did that feels like a traditional it's not it's not it's not embezzlement it's not bribery they're these very kind of technocratic and obscure he's accused of having committed and I just don't think that most Americans think that the the former president should be imprisoned for anything like that so if I were a betting man I think the odds look pretty good for Trump Candace Owens Echoes the sentiment of many Americans emphasizing the importance of family and American values in the face of political upheaval and I think in 2020 they probably I don't I don't know if they cast their votes for Biden I don't know that they would I I have taken myself out of political prognostications entirely it's very difficult I think now yeah because I obviously am always hoping that America wins at The Ballot Box people that are focused on American initiatives are focused on wanting citizens to be successful here not making them feel guilty about wanting to feed their families not making them feel guilty about what they're seeing at the gas station that they can't afford despite the fact that they do what they're supposed to do day in and day out they wake up they go to work 9 to5 and the government is taking everything and telling them that there's something there's some new moral Crusade every time you blink there's a new moral Crusade how many have we lived through in just the last two years it was a global moral but food prices are never a moral Crusade I notice never God forbid you want to be able to afford a pack of bacon for your family God forbid you say that publicly um depending on what time of year it is that makes you a grandma that makes you whatever a pro Putin puppet it makes you an anti-semite it makes you a racist we get it okay we still would like to focus on our families we still would like to put American principles first so if there's no further argument and it's just going to be smears and lials you like to turn the chapter um and get talking about how we can actually do that the whole world that you occupied in say 2019 which wasn't that long ago everybody's been either indicted sent to jail did some kind of plea has been unable to find a job has been bankrupted by civil suits like everybody's been destroyed no one on the left has all they Tucker Carlson delivers a chilling message if you support Trump you risk facing dire consequences including indictments jail time and ruin but because Congress is apparently so offended that you will appear before a fake partisan committee yeah um they're sending you to prison I mean what's this really about that was never anybody's plan I had nothing to do with that I never went in the building and they acknowledged that they acknowledged that and they still decided to come down heavy-handed on me I might even believe it's at the very top of the doj maybe Merrick Garland is the one who's trying to put me behind bars and make an example out of me so Peter Navaro did not testify before that quote committee what happened to him well Peter Navaro was just sentenced to 4 months in prison for that dastardly act defying a Cong subpoena by the fake committee okay so you would think in a functioning country where people had a commitment not just to party but to principle and in living together peacefully maybe for the next 100 years or so people would be standing up for Peter Navaro under Donald Trump special interests like big Pharma and the defense industry struggle to profit as his administration prioritizes serving the American people over corporate agendas guess what the special interest in Washington whether it's big pharmer or the industrial defense comple whatever they can't make money under Donald Trump all they can do um is is is is do what he wants them to do which is to serve the people that's what it's about it's about the weaponization of our Injustice system to stop Trump from ever entering the West Wing again Ken Paxton is the Attorney General of the State of Texas and one of the primary checks against Federal power so far in the Biden Administration Paxton's office has filed 48 lawsuits against the administration what happened to Hunter Biden well he's still selling his childish artwork for hundreds of thousands of dollars of peace to democratic donors who are reaping the benefits of that you can be certain that little donation to The Hunter Biden lifestyle fund so that's Hunter Biden's experience of our justice system the three things that I think form what I call the Iron Triangle of Maga make America great again it's really the thing I was the spearhead of the the fair trade rather than simply sending our jobs off sure on the name of so-called free trade it's the security our borders both for our economic and national security reasons and it's an end to all endless so you think that this that the effort to remove you from office really came from the Biden Administration I really do I think that's where it was instigated and then there were other groups in Texas uh that we can talk about that I think were largely participating interesting and some of those were Republicans so some of them were Republicans yes Peter Navarro's inexplicable entanglement in the January 6th committee raises suspicions of political targeting against Trump Associates just in case you were a little confused about how the justice system works and who the laws apply to last year Hunter Biden blew off a congressional subpoena Hunter Biden the president's son he decided he didn't want to testify before Congress and he didn't have to then this year January 2024 he showed up at a congressional hearing but then a member of Congress appeared to speak and Hunter Biden as an expression of contempt for that member and for congress itself just walked out now Peter Navaro who was a college professor for years and not especially political W up in the Trump Administration as a trade official trying to narrow the trade gap between the United States and China he got caught up for reasons that were never clear in the January 6th committee the fake partisan committee run effectively by Chen's daughter that we now know did nothing to bring the truth to light about January 6th but bedded a cover up of what actually happened that day and yes it was a setup and that's not a conspiracy theory that's an obvious conclusion based on the now emerged fact all power now resides in the executive branch signaling a concerning consolidation of authority within the government she almost immediately after you're reelected to a third term they begin investigating it yes but I don't know that they started in March is what they said like March 1st and they investigated secretly behind closed doors but no one knowing even the house investigating committee not all of them knew I know for sure that one of the Republicans had no idea until they got to that day that it was me and he was told to vote for impeachment without knowing anything about the case and actually disagreeing with doing it he was told his career would be affected if he didn't vote for imp so those five members had an investigation for one day they did a 4-Hour hearing and within 40 less than 48 hours from that I was impeached on Saturday Memorial weekend without an opportunity to present my side without an opportunity to have any sworn testimony which is required by law they are required to have witnesses swarmed in under oath no one was swarm under oath they didn't even have witnesses they brought in investigators who had talked Witnesses which is obviously hearsay and wrong so that's how it all got done it was done in and this was a total shock to you I had no idea they didn't come talk to me they told me nothing about it they didn't tell anybody so what happens once it was announced you're being impeached what happens to you it was horrible I was immediately suspended so I lost my my my office I couldn't do any more lawsuits against Biden what do you mean you were suspended suspended means I can't be in the office anymore I can't direct what's going on the off even though I'm elected even though they prove nothing even though they had no testimony no hadn't been convicted hadn't been convicted they had presented no evidence they had presented no Witnesses behind closed doors a secretive investigation unfolds devoid of transparency and due process targeting Trump supporters with impunity first of all I I could not support you more vehemently I think you're being railroaded for political reasons I think it's very obvious to any reasonable person watching this whether that person voted for Trump or not or likes you or not y but I don't think we're at the stage of regime collapse where constitutional press maybe are the operative question I think it's about force and they're trying to put you in prison because they don't like you and they want to send a message to others that if Trump gets elected don't serve that Administration you'll wind up like Peter Naro spending your 70s in jail so my question to you is and this has got to be obvious to you if they I think it's 57 or so days from now they can put you in prison no matter what you say whether it's appealed or not yes if ordered to go to prison why would you comply with that like at a certain point do you just say to yourself this is all fake it's not our system you're upholding it's our system you're destroying and I'm not going to participate in it no I look I I obey the law I obeyed the law when I failed to respond to Congressional subpoena because the law Tucker for more than 50 years across Democrat and Republican presidencies has been that senior White House officials like me alter oses to the president shall not and cannot and legally cannot be compelled to testify before Congress they put me in leg irons leg iron of course they did as they did to Roger Stone and a lot of other people that you worked with like and that's kind of my question yes Ken Paxton shares his harrowing experience of impeachment and exposes the Hidden Truths of the Texas house obscured by the media it's a little odd concerning that Congress is effectively a joke at this point it doesn't exercise its oversight power it really has no power um all the power in this country is now vested in the executive your position on you're the most hawkish Trump official on China is that what it's about and what do you think the real story is here the the real story here uh really goes back to 2016 uh I think you know this tuer but I was one of the very few people who was with the president all the way from the 26 c campaign till the end um of his first tourament I saw from the GetGo uh the attempt basically uh to interfere with the election prior to the uh 2016 election uh by uh the justice department the FBI the Clinton campaign um and then throughout the term I mean it was just one thing after another where they tried to overthrow the Trump Administration um impeachment one impeachment two Russia hoax this Russia hoax that what it's about really um is stopping Donald Trump from standing up for the American people Tucker Carlson exposes the underlying motive a blatant attempt to silence Trump supporters through intimidation and imprisonment sending a chilling message to denters how did you find out you were being impeached and what happened I I literally had no idea it was it was a committee meeting of the house investigating committee I think it was three or four days before Memorial Weekend the end of session so they're busy trying to pass all these big bills and they decide they're going to spend one day investigating me of course they' done secret investigation for 3 months that we didn't know about behind closed doors with no transparency no due process the investigation into Trump loyalists operates without sworn Witnesses or proper procedures relying on hearsay and misconduct he should do four years in prison four years until he's every they told us that female leaders are going to be more compassionate and empathetic and Kinder a lot of them turned out to be bloodthirsty imp punitive maybe we should reassess that assumption but in any case Peter Navaro is all things being equal headed to prison very soon for the not obeying Chan's daughter we thought we would talk to him before that happened I've already had to uh lay out over half a million doar in legal fees for the lower court that found me guilty of this charge uh but Tucker the good news here is that this is just going to be in in My Hope and judgment a Landmark constitutional case on the Constitutional separation of powers and the use of executive privilege as a tool of uh sound presidential decision making they they're remarkable things wait hold on wait wait wait wait Ken Paxton reveals the egregious violations of protocol with Witnesses not sworn in under oath and investigators resorting to hearsay to build their case I'm fascinated by the fact that you were impeached in the first place how did this happen first let me just say it was as you've read through this very complicated it is comp it was it was crazy but I truly believe it became very political and I am sitting here because of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I was delivered because it wasn't just about the law it became political completely and I didn't know how it was going to turn out on the political side but it's it's just interesting because um you know your fans and your detractors I think would both acknowledge that you're the most aggressive legal opponent of the Biden Administration in the United States you're a republican elected with a big margin in a Republican state but it was Republicans who tried to take you out yeah that's what it looks like but in reality I believe the Texas house a lot of people don't understand this I spent 10 years in the Texas house yes and we have 150 members of the Texas house and 65 of them are Democrats and those 65 Democrats always vote in block and they pick the Republican they want and they deliver those 65 votes and that Republican then has to come up with 10 votes cuz their own vot's going to count for the speaker for the speaker for the speaker so whoever gives those Democrats the most whatever Republican agrees to the most gets elected in this case I believe and I think that the wait so you're saying that the Republican speaker of Texas is chosen by the Democrats pretty much yeah CU that 65 is hard to overcome all he has to do then is find 10 Republicans because he's got his own vote and usually you can find 10 Republicans who are either his friends or who he gives big committee sumits to like Appropriations or state affairs or something big it's pretty easy to put yeah wa so you can have a big majority in the Texas house but still not control the Texas house that's exactly what has been happening over the last say 14 years 16 years that's crazy it is crazy and people don't of course the media doesn't tell people about that that's literally what happens in the Texas house so we have a really hard time the Senate is great they they're very conservative they've done great things for Texas but they get blocked a lot of times and a lot of my stuff gets blocked in the Texas house because Dave felen the speaker is controlled by the Democrats in the pursuit of silencing sent due process is trampled upon and constitutional rights are sacrificed at the altar of political vendettas I mean you weren't even accused of going inside the Capitol building on January 6th you were not accused of setting anything on fire or committing any act of violence so I mean on what grounds could they steal your cell phones and violate your most basic privacies I I don't understand that like what's the well the whole notion that the US attorneys was arguing is that somehow I would was behind the entire event that day that's what their whole notion is is that somehow I led the charge for what resulted in January 6th and people going into the capital and everything else and I wanted to prove Beyond A Reasonable Doubt look here's all my communications but it's worth mentioning too Tucker part of the process here with me turning all of this over and cooperating my attorney and my understanding was that they weren't going to press for jail time that was the mutual understanding that we had here and then they tried to hit me with 120 days and I'm not curious if that didn't come from the minds of the US attorneys but perhaps someone higher up at the doj
