I eat like an animal in Michigan for some reason um but I love it it’s beautiful the people are kind it’s one of the coolest states to drive around wherever you stop people are nice to you it’s sort of like my house it’s unbelievable
Um but every time I come here I think to myself who runs this place and who votes for them no I’m serious I’ve never met and it’s not like I come to Michigan and hang around with people who share my political views most people I talk to at
Michigan I we don’t talk politics ever most when you talk fishing which is excellent here by the way ice fishing and open water fishing but anyway um I I think I’ve ever met anybody in the state of Michigan who would vote for Gretchen Whitmer so like how did that happen
No and I’m not I’m not making a partisan I’m just making a a very kind of straightforward non-political point if you’re running a state and people are leaving then you are by definition failing or it might be it’s not a very good restaurant it’s not the you know it’s not the
Food’s fault it’s how you’re preparing it right so how did that happen and every time I come here I ask the same question like who’s voting for these people I even went in I even this is a true story last summer we were in um Suburban Detroit where my wife grew
Up staying with her aunt and I went into Greektown to do my show and everyone always you know makes fun of Detroit city of Detroit and so I just asked every single person I met in Detroit I was there for like six hours wanted out to get something to eat like
Did you vote for Gretchen Whitman no I mean maybe they all did and wouldn’t admit it but it does raise the question like how does this happen how do you take something great with great people great natural resources great human resources and make it so crummy that everyone
Wants to move to Fort Lauderdale huh it’s interesting I’ve been brooding about this all week I landed yesterday from Argentina which reminds me a lot of Michigan in that it has everything going for it it’s a beautiful place with smart people excellent food and Lake Michigan it has an outflow and
Net outflow of people like people are from there they love it have to leave because there’s no opportunity there and the answer is the same in Argentina that and I’m not saying in Argentina they would prevent you from buying house paint to stop the spread of a virus
I mean they’re not that insane so you do get a tax break for being transgender literally in Argentina in the same way that your Governor wants to criminalize calling people by their correct gender so there’s the you know there’s the the fundamental American woke academic craziness but in some ways that’s just a
Distraction from the core issue which is are you running things well I mean they’re all the ideological debates we have but in the end if people can’t make a living and there’s no promise of the future for their children then by definition you are a failure and I think it’s
Impossible to defend a record like that you can’t I mean there’s no argument you can you know jump up and down and scream about trans rights or you can like your attorney general who’s truly a lunatic by the way true truly a lunatic you could just throw people in prison when they
Disagree with you she’s in the process of doing as you know but in the end you can’t win the argument no one’s eating at your restaurant like you are a failure so how are you still there well there’s really only one way and that’s by capturing the system that puts people there
And the state of Michigan I have no doubt as there are in many blue States there’s a massive amount of fraud there always is anyone who claims there isn’t hasn’t covered campaigns I covered campaigns for over 20 years trust me there’s fraud but I think the most Insidious fraud is
The kind that you see right in front of you where public employees are paid to step tip the scales in favor of the party that pays them with your tax dollars like that’s that’s fraud that’s illegitimate that’s not democracy you can’t pay unionized teachers to vote for you but that’s what they do
And I say this as someone who married a teacher from Michigan and who put four children through school so you know I don’t have a lot of patience for the you hate teachers oh shut up no no I like him enough that I married one you don’t hate teachers I sent all my
Children to school I shouldn’t have but I did it was the law at the time but it’s not about whether or not you like teachers it’s about whether or not a government employee ought to be allowed to use tax dollars to campaign for the people who pay that employee and
That’s completely illegitimate that’s totally third world that’s insane if you have unionized teachers going door to door campaigning in the three-month vacation they get every year at your expense you have by definition a corrupt system so my question is why doesn’t someone do something about it and I have to say of
Republicans that I’m not I mean I vote Republican by default because I have no choice and I’m not going to beat up on Republicans most people here probably vote Republican like me but I will say an awful lot of time is spent complaining and maybe too little doing the two
Things you really need to do and that’s what I want to talk about today and by the way before I get into my remarks let me see if we’re doing Q a at the end but please don’t wait most speakers hate being yelled at why they while they talk but I worked in
Cable news for so many years that I kind of enjoy it so if you’ve got something hostile to say just just yell it throw a dinner roll or whatever you’re not going to hurt my feelings yeah whatever you said I affirm it so look here’s the point the two things
You need to do are organized and and speak with total honesty Clarity and aggression those are the two things you need to do now neither one of those things is easy complaining is easy watching television is easy eating with people you agree with and grousing is really easy that’s why those
Are the first things I do when I’m mad about something I whine to my wife about it I lecture my dogs all of whom all four of whom agree with me by the way I have the most right-wing spaniels in Maine but none of those things change the outcome
You need to act you need to speak and you need to organize and before you can do either one of those you need to recognize the consequences the stakes it’s not just about people doing things you disagree with it’s about the most fundamental question of all which is can you have children
Will they live in a world where they can afford to get married themselves and have children and will those children live where you lived will they live within driving distance of your grave well the civilization that produced you continue these are I hate the word but these are literally existential questions well the
World that produced you continue to exist and the answer is no with bad leadership it won’t everything is at stake and that’s not a fundraising pitch it’s not one of those Direct Mail things you get send us 20 bucks or you know your grandchildren will die it’s a it’s the truth
It’s the truth if people in Michigan feel like they can’t live here then the odds are your children and grandchildren won’t and the life that you’ve so enjoyed and that you’ve made possible for them working every day will not continue and you’ll do what Americans for the last couple of generations have done
You’ll just leave you’ll run away you’ll go to Florida you’ll move somewhere else we got to move out of Detroit it blows up in 1967 and like half the people who live there are like that’s it we’re moving to Macomb and Oakland counties which I get I’m not judging at all I
Mean of course I’m married to someone whose family did that and I’m sure half the people in this audience had family who did that but at a certain point you wonder like can you keep running away and at a certain point is there anywhere to go and the answer is no
And why should you they turn the world that you grew up in that you love that you contributed to into something you don’t recognize and you’re like all right I’m out really doesn’t seem very American to me and by the way at this point you’re kind of out of options anyway yeah desantises
I think a very good governor of Florida I’m there a lot and so that’s an obvious destination for people but he barely won his first election against like a crackhead no I’m serious a meth head it was like a complete not only lunatic but fraud he barely won that was Florida
So I hope Florida stays reasonable forever and I like to fish there so I especially feel that way but there’s no guarantee it will there’s no guarantee that anything stays the same and the only way to ensure that it does is to stay and fight for it
With the knowledge that if you don’t you could lose it for real I mean it would be so interesting to know the number of people in this audience who had grandparents who lived in the city of Detroit in 1966. right exactly a third or half the crowd and they don’t live there now
Because they can’t because it’s dangerous and it’s dysfunctional you can’t use the schools but if your grandparents are still alive it’d be interesting to ask them like what was eighth grade like in a public school in Detroit and they would say it was great and what’s a Latin class every Wednesday
Really you studied Latin in a public school in Detroit yes we did Detroit was one of the richest cities in the world and helped build this country and then in one summer it disappeared and it disappeared not simply because you had riots in the summer of 67 in Detroit but because the productive
People who lived there left and that was a huge Boon to Macomb and Oakland counties but it completely destroyed the city of Detroit your grandparents built those brick buildings that are being reclaimed by the Prairie right now and as you drive through Detroit and I always drive through Detroit every time
I visit my wife’s family I drive through Detroit every single time and every single time I’m left with the exact same thought which was this is a magnificent place this is an unbelievable City this is fundamentally one of the prettiest places in America the buildings are unbelievable the abandoned buildings are unbelievable
And the beauty of Detroit it’s a little bit it’s a little bit like Pompeii because it happened in one day or one week the Riots of 67. I remember the first story I ever did not to get sidetracked but I I did it in Detroit there was a guy called Keith Butler was
On the city council and I went to interview him in 1991. and his church was in a rough part of the city well the whole city is rough but the roughest part of the city and I was driving in a cab to go interview him
And there was a building we drove by and the second floor was an ad for Cool cigarettes and it said 25 cents a pack and that sign had been there since the summer of 67 when that store was burned and closed it was like Frozen in Time
And so that’s the beautiful thing about driving through Detroit as opposed to New York or Chicago cities that have been torn down and rebuilt countless times Detroit just stopped so as you drive through that City you can tell what it was like on the day it burned and it was an incredible Place
Incredible and the people there just left they just left and I guess what I’m saying again is we’re running out of cities to run from you think you’re going to be safe in your suburb when HUD mandates density density when there’s Section 8 in your neighborhood which is coming
Because you’re not safe in your suburb actually you’re not and next will be the rural area I live in a town of 100 people why do I do that because I got sick of living in a city because I’m a coward I guess I should have stayed everyone went
Insane with the BLM riots and then covid and I said to my wife and our kids were grown I was like we’re out of here we’re moving to a town of 100 people where everyone open carries and there’s no violent crime whatsoever and yes people do drink in the morning that’s true
The Congress administrates their class but it’s it’s a Humane and polite world and I didn’t want to deal with the rage that we saw all around us in a big city and I feel much you know much happier of course driving around with my dogs in that town but I also feel correctly
Like I ran away from something and I should have stayed and fought I was in that City for 35 years so I think this is these are the things that I think about just because the weirdness of my own personal life but I think that this will be obvious to
Everybody in America there’s literally no place to go where you are now is probably the best it’s ever going to be it could get a whole lot worse and you need to do everything you can to prevent that and if that means that your life is going to be more uncomfortable
For the time being or you face greater risks Dana Nestle decides to send you to prison all right that’s the price it’s a smaller price than your ancestors paid that’s for sure so what do you do stay and fight but what does that look like before Dana nessel comes to throw
You in prison what means first of all getting rid of Dana Nestle and the lunatics like her it does leadership matters 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 five 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 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 doesn’t matter
In the end most governments are run by a small group of people for their own benefit without reference to what the majority wants 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 the 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 one percent okay in that range the things that people care about Gretchen Whitmer
Couldn’t care less about because democracy isn’t functioning if democracy was functioning in America in Michigan and California the District of Columbia where I live the state of Maine any the state of Texas how many Texans do you think are all on board with letting seven million people cross into their state illegally what
Percentage zero zero I don’t care what your raise for 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 you are you willing to defend your house and your children or aren’t you well it’s it’s more complicated 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 gonna 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 at the core promise of the country which is the people rule that’s a criminal act that is a criminal act let’s just put
This in context it’s not just like you have Boutique weird right-wing views in your that’s how they want you to feel like oh you’re an extremist really I’m an extremist I’m known to let seven million people into our country illegally whose names we don’t know in the middle of a drug war yeah
I’m the one who’s ignored over a hundred thousand fentanyl deaths every year for the past five years I hate to show a hands thing but ask yourself do you know somebody who’s died of an opioid OD in the last five years and everybody in the stadium does
And yet if you watch the news or listen to the repulsive imposters who run our country it’s never mentioned really over a hundred thousand american-born young people dead every year and some of them are not drug addicts it’s not just like you remember as a kid there’s some junkie found in an alley
With a hypodermic needle in the crook of his arm and you’re like well that’s sad but also you know you’re a junkie no these are 15 year olds who buy a Percocet on Instagram and are poisoned because China is exporting the precursor chemicals for fentanyl into Mexico where
It was shipped here directly by the drug cartels and put into pills that are not advertised as fentanyl it’s called poisoning poisoning the U.S population of and not of the elderly this is not co-fit these are the people who will continue our civilization this is our future these are young people
I mean I know them and I live in a pretty weird world I mean I’ve lived in rich person world for it I known anymore but I did there are people in my neighborhood whose kids died that way who are poisoned to death and nobody said anything about it multiply that
Times over a hundred thousand every year think that’s a core concern you think if a hundred thousand people were dying on playground equipment every year we’d have no more playgrounds I don’t even I don’t get into the covet thing I know many people died of code but I never met one
I know a lot of people who got sick from the vaccine but whatever that’s not allowed shut up okay but the point is huge things can happen [Applause] right in front of you right out in the open it’s not some like crazy conspiracy that you have to get out of the dark web
To learn more about it it’s your neighbor’s boy just died he’s in ninth grade he bought a percocet and they found him dead when they woke him up for school and nobody cares and we know how it’s happening we’re not guessing and nobody care any candid is they are destroying the
Country whether it’s on purpose or not as immaterial it does not matter they are doing it and everyone passively sits back as if it’s not happening and if you continue to passively sit back as if it’s not happening what’s going to happen will it decelerate or accelerate
Yeah those of you who have served in prison know first they cut in front of you in line okay it doesn’t get better from there then they sell you for a pack of cigarettes you got to say stop you cannot treat me this way this is not your country it’s mine period
So the two ways you do this are by organizing and speaking and on the question of organizing organizing is difficult some people have a brain for it others don’t but the principle is not complex you are stronger in a group and this is exactly why the buy Administration has handed out 20
And 25-year prison sentences to people who didn’t actually do anything in the last week on January 6th why because they were in some group that was probably at least half federal agents but whatever the idea of people being organized of coming together with a common purpose is
Terrifying the left I will say to their great credit are masters of organizing they are dutiful they show up they are disciplined and they are willing to put aside their differences for the sake of achieving a common goal they don’t argue with each other in public they just all say the
Same thing they all vote for the same person because they know their strength in numbers conservatives on the other hand are very focused on their family their faith their jobs politics comes at least fourth in their higher hierarchy of concerns and they also have integrity and self-respect so it’s very hard to
Get a conservative person to repeat some talking point he doesn’t actually believe at all they won’t just sit around and wait for whatever the new lie of the day is and then just repeat it with dead eyes on television liberals have no problem doing that because they know
That’s the path to power but they’re right it is the path to power organizing is the path to power so if I were trying to figure out what to do in Michigan I’d go right to the prom which is your teacher’s Union it’s really simple and it’s hard for conservatives to do that
Because they’re very easily intimidated by moral aggression you see this in the gun debate Time After Time so if someone comes to you and says um we’re going to hike up the crime rate to a point where you have a non-zero chance of getting murdered but we’re going to
Take away means of Defending yourself you’d be like no I don’t think so but that’s not what they do they say guns are bad guns kill people it’s gun violence yeah gun violence okay I I I live in a town with 100 gun ownership and there’s no violence it’s also 100 chainsaw ownership
There are very few chainsaw related crimes in my County no the object isn’t committing the crime a person is but they’ll get right in your face and say guns are the problem and if you care about children people who have no children will lecture you who have many children about the children
And rather than saying I’m sorry how many kids do you have you Baron freak get out of my face now oh the children well I love children I’ve got four of them well I want to help the children it’s like you are speaking in bad faith you want to control me
Leaf don’t be intimidated and so on the question of organizing if people who are against whether and I don’t even know what conservative means anymore but if you’re against what we’re doing now A system that does not serve people that only hurts them that makes them weaker unhealthier less reasonable more
Dependent on the people in charge that’s the program if you’re against that you need to organize and if I were approaching Michigan I would say let’s find a billionaire and let’s spend the money not on 30 second ads we’re going to spend it destroying the teachers union in Michigan it’s really simple
It is disgusting that government employees get to rig the system in favor of the people who pay them it’s really that simple and by the way oh bless you son thank you I don’t know what you’re saying but I agree with you sorry that’s vodka I am in Michigan whoa um
There’s no reason that people who provide preside over a system that doesn’t actually teach kids to read if you if you are in any way connected to the Detroit Public School System you have no moral Authority at all none zero and nobody says that you see some political hack on
Television being like I speak for all teachers no you don’t you speak for the Democratic party you’re disgusting and we’re going to put you out of business If I were paying for this I would focus on the problem which is organization and that really is the answer to the first question I asked which is how does a state full of really nice people decent people political and non-political I’m including a ton of people who think they’re Democrats in
That by the way you still have blue-collar Democrats even today in Michigan I’m sure somewhere you know former Union guys or whatever who think it’s 1978 who don’t understand that the party they support has completely different priorities that are at odds with them totally different values than they had
When Walter Ruther was running it it’s it’s a totally different system but they haven’t updated their files they don’t know that so I would make the case to them that no these people are criminals what they’re doing is totally immoral and they should never be allowed
To walk in public with their head held high they should live in shame so if you’re you know I remember thinking this you know so I grew up in affluent well-educated places which are also not accidentally the most liberal places in the world right now
So when I go home to the town that I grew up in or if I go to Georgetown in DC where I spent my childhood you know people yell at me at the street fascist fascist and if people yell at you enough luckily I’ve got extremely high self-esteem but
Let’s say I didn’t but even me I mean I know who I am I don’t really care what you think of me right but even me like if people yell at you loudly enough you can imagine you’ve done something wrong you can get off balance you can lose your heart
Whatever the life force is that gives you dignity that causes you to stand up straight and speak clearly without shame it can affect that and I would say people who are against the atrocities that are taking place daily in our political system need to regain that and to speak absolutely clearly and say
No does that work so that’s the second question does it work to tell the truth without apology like how powerful are words really very whoever said very is absolutely right so without getting boring about it but last uh spring this spring I decided I had been grown up in this sort of ridiculous
Uh Christian faith um that no longer really exists called The Episcopal Church which is basically just total Wicca now pure paganism and so I spent my whole life in this and I was like I went to the schools and brought my kids to schools I went to church on Sunday and I
Was like the one thing that we never talked about in church ever I don’t think was the Bible that was for like the snake handlers or whatever in the South they’re reading the Bible we didn’t have that at all we had a ton of cocktails a lot of like you know our
Social program we’re helping the homeless every year to be more homeless my church would buy tents for the homeless then they triple in size and be like I’m glad the homeless have tents but now there are three times as many homeless are we really helping shut up
Anyway so I spent all these years in this church before finally escaping uh with my life and I thought I’ve never read the Bible so I should just read it and see what’s in there I’m not gonna do a Bible study just want to read it so I’m almost done it’s been amazingly
Interesting but one of the things I notice in this book especially in the Old Testament the Hebrew Bible is there are all these groups I’ve never heard of before the Hittites and the ammonites none of the big ones the Assyrians still exist the Babylonians still exist or none but
They’re all these different groups and they’re not small groups they were like in charge of the world of the known world at the time they had massive armies that rolled into cities and enslaved everybody and then they disappeared and there’s no Remnant so I I’m sitting there reading the Bible
With my Wikipedia on the side like who are the ammonites answer no clue we have no idea who a lot of these people were no clue and they were in charge of the Known World it wasn’t that long ago it was like 3 000 years ago they ran everything
And now we’re not even sure where they lived and they had the most advanced weapon systems in the ancient world and they’re totally gone and we can only guess as to their identity you and one of them we’re the Syrian it’s worth no one to be trifled with
At all congratulations you had Fierce ancestors um so we don’t have any physical evidence of even the existence of a lot of these groups but you know what we do have is the description of them in words and those words that document forms the basis of Western Civilization that is
Western Civilization is the Bible what is Western Civilization it’s the Bible that’s what it is I mean I had no idea I made it to 53 without knowing that I think that information was hidden for me but it tells you that the power of those words far exceeded the state-of-the-art
Military power of every civilization in history they are gone but the words remain and the words continue to change people and to change the world so what matters what matters is telling the truth in words it’s not enough to think it it’s essential to articulate it to say
It out loud and when you do that remarkable things happen and this is true even in your personal life certainly you’ve been in an argument with someone you love and the person will say something good or bad and everything will change if you’re in an argument with someone you love and
You say something horrible particularly if it’s true about that person that will affect your relationship for the rest of your life you can’t take those words back if I get in a fight with my brother and I punch him in the face may have happened everybody sobers up and it’s fine
But if I say something truly cruel about him that is true our relationship will never recover the words are more powerful than the actions and that is exactly why they’re trying to control your words and that’s exactly why the First Amendment precedes the second there is a reason in the order
It’s not just that it’s nice to say what you think and that it’s essential to human dignity to be able to express what you really believe though that is true you cannot be a full citizen if you can’t say what you think you are instead
A slave you are if you’re not allowed to say what you think you are not a citizen you are slave it’s that simple and you don’t need physical shackles because you have them in your head already so that is all true but that’s not why they’re trying to control what you say
They’re trying to control what you say because they know that if you say it nothing will ever be the same and this is exactly why they hate Trump and it’s not an endorsement of trump but it’s just interesting since I’ve known you know I’ve watched the whole Trump
Saga and I’ve had various feelings at various times I’ve been incredibly frustrated by Trump because honestly who couldn’t be and then other times I’ve been totally inspired and excited but the whole time I’m watching Trump I’m thinking to myself the core question was no one ever asks which is why do they
Hate him so much wait honestly why do they hate Trump so much it’s the talking it’s the talking it’s nothing is Trump’s program called are you joking if If This Were in 1985 he’d be like a center left liberal it’s not radical at all that’s fascism are you joking no
No there’s nothing to do with what he does it has everything to do with the fact that for whatever reason his brain is not entirely controlled by the people in charge and because he’s not entirely controlled well first of all it tells you that everybody else is entirely controlled
If like Trump is the one they hate the most like what did Trump do wrong I mean you could say oh well she’s orange or whatever okay fine but like has he really committed a crime so severe that we should send him to prison for the rest of his life that’s insane
And half the Republicans in Washington probably closer to about 95 percent would be very psyched if he went to prison for the rest of his life so why is that I’ll tell you exactly why I know because I’ve watched this really carefully from Washington for his entire
Term and then the subsequent three years they hate Trump because they fear Trump and they fear Trump not because of what he might do but because what he might say and at any moment Trump might be autistic enough to tell the truth about what’s actually happening what’s that I
Was in DC when this started and Trump had the greatest line I’ve ever heard and no one even noticed it except me because I spent my life in Washington but he was in having some debate and somebody said something about NATO which is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Post-war to prevent the Soviets from invading Western Europe and Trump goes what’s the point of NATO and I remember thinking what a stupid question what’s the point of view everyone knows the point of NATO like to prevent the Soviets from invading Germany but I was like but there are no more Soviets
That ended in 1991 . it’s like what is the point of NATO that’s actually then I was thinking to myself because I had been living in DC so I was like captured by the group think that does capture you if you live in a place long enough
I remember my wife who grew up outside Detroit being like why would anyone buy a Japanese car that’s insane you know I mean she just grew up here to this day she would never have a foreign car like what they can’t really be better you know you
Just you’re a product of the world you live in so I never thought of like what’s the point of NATO and Trump said that and I remember thinking well that’s an entirely fair question I’m sure there’s a good answer anybody anybody no one could answer it and instead they attacked him
Like he was Hitler and I remember thinking like why are you mad at him for asking what turns out to be a totally legitimate question maybe you’ve got a good answer what is it uh shut up oh shut up that’s your answer really and it was that kind of thing and it was
The fear that he might say one of a thousand things that you’re not allowed to say which is pretty much everything at this point and by the way I’ll stop with this and take Austin questions but if you want to know this is and I’m being completely sincere what’s true
The true things are the things that you can’t say I cannot remember the last time someone in public life was prosecuted or even criticized for lying if lying was a crime I mean your Governor would be in super max for life if being incompetent was a felony she’d be on death row
Banning paint sales during covid it’s unbelievable but there’s no penalty for lying and there’s no penalty for incompetence so what do we penalize every society penalizes something there’s a death penalty offense in every society from the beginning of time what’s ours it’s telling the truth
If you tell the truth the real truth the no BS truth like what’s actually going on here is this actually working and no it’s not why isn’t it working if you were to be honest about that you’re done so you have to ask yourself like what does it say about a society where
The only penalty is for noting what’s true it says something pretty bad about that Society do you want to live in a place where lying is mandatory oh it’s a third world country as someone just said look it’s in downtown Buenos Aires and I said to somebody the economy is
Completely collapsed they have hyperinflation and they said what’s the exchange rate on the peso the Argentine peso to the US dollar and they’re like well the government claims it’s 350 pesos to the dollar but actually it’s over 700. I was like so the government lies about
What the value of its own currency is oh absolutely I was like that’s crazy and by the way to pay for lunch it takes a stack of pesos the size of a cinder block you need a backpack just to buy a pack of cigarettes it’s unbelievable but
I was like I can’t believe the government lies about the value of its own currency and I was like oh wait sorry I shouldn’t be surprised because mine does too and about everything else so if you want to make that better I’ll stop with this I think the only answer
Is to tell the truth calmly and slowly and fearlessly everybody knows what it is they’ll come at you first they’ll tell you you’re hurting someone’s feelings you mean that’s always the they’re trying to appeal to your basic decency and then subvert it no one wants to be mean they
Did this during covid well you should take the shot well what’s in the shot shut up and take it but I don’t need this I already had covid you know I’m 26 I’ve just ran a Iron Man shut up and take the shot what if I don’t want you you’re killing your
Grandparents okay and that okay so that’s the first thing they do they accuse you of being mean then the second thing they do is they call you insane you’re a conspiracy theorist really if I were the sort of person who gloated I would keep a list of all the times I
Personally have been called a conspiracy theorist or a wacko and then compare them to the outcome five years later they all turn out to be true And I you know I try to be a decent Protestant not brag about myself but like the list is long very long and then the third thing they do is just criminalize telling the truth and you’re seeing that now there are people are going to jail for non-trivial lengths by the way anyone
Who’s ever been to a jail knows and there are a bunch of sheriffs here and they know best of all anytime in jail is not trivial anytime Behind Bars a drunk driving offense for a night can change your life you don’t want to go to jail period it’s
Not a joke anyone who tells you oh he’s going to Club Fed where they have volleyball right taking away a person’s freedom and locking him in a cage where he can’t see the stars at night is short of killing it maybe more than killing him the gravest thing you can do to another
Human being so no one should ever minimize the penalty of prison time or jail time it’s profound it’ll destroy you and your family and they’re sending people to prison for saying that the last election was rigged which it was so oh how can you say the last election was Jake well
When the country’s largest law enforcement organization the FBI actively works on behalf of one political party and when its largest intelligence gathering agency the CIA does the same it’s a little bit like what’s happening in Michigan when federal employees paid for by the tax dollars of everyone take
An aggressive position on the side of one political party you can’t have a fair election because you’re using public money to put your thumb on the scale on behalf of a partisan cause it is totally immoral and it’s not free and fair if our election took place in Bolivia the 2020
Presidential election took place in Bolivia I can promise you the state department would report back and say that was not a free and fair election and Wikipedia would report it was a clouded election because there was fraud and interference which there was if some oligarch some tech oligarch
Spent nearly half a billion dollars to control the mechanics of the Bolivian election in 2020 we would say it’s not a legitimate election but when Mark Zuckerberg does it in the United States oh a Jesus helping with covid yeah Israel we’re really afraid of covet I’m sure yeah
So for saying that out loud people are going to prison and of course the whole point is to convince you not to say it out loud so don’t let them that’s the only Point don’t let them and if you keep telling the truth some of you probably get indicted By Dana Nestle
You’re going to women’s prison a little better but still still prison but it’s worth it anyway don’t be intimidated your children’s future depends on your bravery tell the truth yes ma’am yes Tucker it’s a great question I’m just going to repeat the general outline for those who
Didn’t hear it which was if you take a stand like that will there be someone with power to back you up and you used a military analogy and you said if I’m running face first on the barbed wire and letting others run over my back which is effectively what the people who
Dana nessel is trying to send to prison have done will there be anyone to help me we’re the generals and the truth is this is the inverse of a functioning military force of a functioning army with a general’s lead in fact in our own military I don’t no
The generals follow in our current system we have no leadership that’s the point and if there was leadership we wouldn’t be here in the first place and so I’m sorry to say that but since I know a lot of the people personally who are the generals
I can tell you it really is like Bolivia they’re sitting back there with a chest full of medals and they’ve never heard the crack of gunfire I mean they’re cowards their followers that’s just true and and you know that that’s true and when you’re frustrated by the leaders of
The movement whether it’s a TV network or some senator you’re frustrated because they’re not leading that’s why you’re frustrated and you know they’re cowards and you know I mean I think it’s probably an overstatement to say they’re secretly working for the other side some of them are but it’s not that they’re secretly
Working for the other side is they’re afraid to stand up to the other side they’re they’re afraid they’re cowards now that’s very distressing but the good news is because they are cowards and because they are followers how did followers get in positions of leadership I don’t even understand that
But because they are followers they will follow a popular movement that’s the truth if they see something if they see something happening and the media will of course you know you’ll immediately you’ll become Nazis I’m just letting you know that okay um and if you’re a normal person this is
I’ve lived this so it’s like the first time someone calls you a Nazir like what I hate the knots what are you even talking like it’s disgusting to be called a name like that it’s very upsetting and the trick is just to remind yourself I know who I am I’m not
Motivated by hate I’m motivated by love of country and love of my family you’re not going to Define me I’ll Define myself thank you very much and in my own life it’s like is my wife proud of what I’m doing if she is she’s a lot better person than Kamala Harris
So like up yours Kamal Harris I don’t care what you think of me I’m from here I was born in this country I’m gonna die in this country I’m not gonna be bullied by you because you’re calling me naughty names it has no power over me at all and I think if
You go into it with that posture people will follow you including leaders the last thing I’ll say what’s the core prerequisite for leadership and it’s bravery it’s bravery that once was true in the military and certainly true historically in the military I mean King David fought the battles
And so by the way did European armies during the medieval period King Harold was killed in 1066 like the leader the English leader was killed by the French you got an arrow through the eye what was the king doing in a battle Zone because he was leading the Army that’s what he was
Doing because you couldn’t be king unless you were brave enough to risk your life that was a prerequisite for leadership bravery you hadn’t earned it you’re some sort of soft-handed coward well then you can’t be in charge go to the soft hated coward section but don’t don’t you have no authority over me
So people and the reason the system was designed like that is because human nature is designed like that people will follow the brave they will not follow the weak period and dogs are this way dogs are this way if you can’t convince your dog to do what you want
Either the dog is brain damaged unlikely but the dog doesn’t take you seriously the dog knows who means it it’s not about being mean to your dog but it’s like a really I have so many dogs and I see this every day and all the dog will kind of give me a
Little doggy finger and I’ll be like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa you know we don’t do that here okay okay excuse me and people are exactly the same way if you’re afraid if you’re tentative people can smell it on you you don’t need to make the case they can smell it it’s an
Aroma fear is a smell you ever been in turbulence on a plane you get off you’re like oh I stink what’s that smell it’s fear and people can perceive that and so if there’s a group of Brave reasonable people whose demands are rooted in the American Constitution and American history and
The basic expectations of people everywhere which is for safety no chaos honesty and a decent future for their kids those are not crazy demands those are basic human demands our fake leaders will follow you yes ma’am hang on just say nope what’s your name uh my name is uh
Kristen Megan Kelly I am both a media contributor and an exposure scientist and I have a question because my colleague Tammy Clark and I were responding to East Palestine Ohio and you seem to be the only mainstream media individual who was covering the story with one of our plaintiffs Courtney
Miller when the left is usually the tree huggers and the pro-environmentalists why do you think it is that you were the only top figure covering what was happening in East Palestine Ohio I know we have the regulatory capture but I still cannot understand why the left in
CNN and MSNBC have not covered this well because they hate the people who live there that’s why and the only reason I was interested in it is because I live in a place that’s so similar to East Palestine same kind of population former industrial center I mean my town was industrial center there
Were two Mills one made closed pins the other made dowels For Thread so it was always kind of low level working class uh manufacturing but those went away in the 80s and the people there have been either moving away or getting addicted to fentanyl ever since and being
Unemployed and sad so I mean I’ve lived it I mean I haven’t lived that I have seen it I’ve lived around it on and off my whole life and what’s amazing is not that manufacturing died but that nobody cared that it died and nobody cared about the human wreckage
Left behind and it enraged me and you know exactly why they didn’t care because the demographic was wrong that’s just true and I hate that you either believe that all human lives are equal not equal in their ability but equal in their moral value because God created us all or you don’t
That all lives matter you either believe that or you don’t and I believe that and they don’t believe that and they don’t believe in God they’re atheists true they think they’re God and they can decide they can assign value to human life but I don’t believe that I didn’t create people I didn’t
Create the world I just showed up here in 1969 and I’ll be gone soon so I’m not the author of life and so I have to kind of respect what’s clearly true which is that all human life is equal in value period it doesn’t mean all human life is equal in computer programming
But it means when it really comes down to it on our Death Beds we’re all the same and they don’t believe that and it enrages me and you know people are like well you’re just saying that because you’re white right first of all I’m not from a working class white background
Like I have less in common with the people of East Palestine on some cultural level than I have in common with some Princeton educated black guy who lives next to me in DC I mean I’m just being honest it’s not about the sharing the same skin color it’s about sharing the same Humanity
And the people in Washington the people in charge of the West don’t think that way at all they think that some population should be exalted and given special privileges and others should be allowed to die and I think it’s totally grotesque I’m so offended by that I can barely stand it
And I remember when someone came out and said during the summer of 2020 after George Floyd died someone’s like well all lives matter and the guy was fired for it and no politician stood up and said I’m just telling you in point of fact as a factual matter all lives matter there
Was not one politician who had the huevos to say that and I remember thinking I don’t even recognize this country if that’s a white supremacist sentiment what are you even talking about that’s a Christian sentiment it’s a human sentiment and they were allowed to take that position unchallenged and the result is
The fentanyl crisis which again they ignore this Palestine which they ignore and the general poverty and Desperation of Rural America and if you don’t believe that get in the car and drive for 500 miles and see what your country looks like I mean again I lived there so I see it every day
It’s like they don’t care well they’re not caring disqualifies them from leadership and means that I will spend the rest of my life trying to shame humiliate and eject them from office I mean what’s your name please Greg O’Neal Tucker thanks so much for being here
Today into a great state of Michigan we deeply appreciate it and um let’s thank the rinky family for having you here today thank you Kevin Live Nation has played havoc on this event here today they control 70 of the per sales that take place for tickets they control most
Of the media and that control most of the venues that’s frightening to me when we want our freedom what do you suggest we can do here to stop this do we go to Congress we say hey wake up it’s very frightening what took place on trying to change this venue or not have
It at all so well I agree with that and and I would I would just say I mean it’s hard for me to comment on because it you know it Bears on me directly but I would say I I think this every day like I think I’m the most moderate person I know
I’m not for revolution I like this country again I grew up here and I I just want to return to like 1987. the year I graduated high school was a great country didn’t have problems or whatever but if that’s considered extremism this is not 1887 this is 1987 it was the other day
And if you think that living in 1987 America is some sort of Nazi hellscape then you’re the freaking extremist as far as I’m concerned okay so for them to suggest that I’m some sort of extremist reveals their extremism just to make an obvious point but I would say it’s not
Just the ticket sales or the venue company it’s virtually every big publicly held company too it’s JP Morgan to shut down people’s accounts or given details of people’s Financial transactions to the feds without telling them when no crime occurred because they had unfashionable political opinions you saw this after January 6th turning over
People’s Bank records and credit card statements to the feds that’s shocking to me you should take down JP Morgan over that in my opinion it’s Airbnb denying accommodation to people on the basis of their political beliefs I thought we were against denying accommodation to people really I
Thought we had a whole like Revolution over that didn’t we no it’s it’s all of these companies but particularly the financial services companies so that’s scary so like Bud Light what makes you know what training beer you don’t like it don’t drink it I’m glad I’m happy to see Bud Light suffer
But but beer and I don’t want to I know this could be shocking in Michigan but I’m just being honest beer is not essential to life okay but food shelter they’re essential to life so if I’m totally kidding Bear’s sense of life I totally agree but light though not
But if you start tampering with the things that people really need or making access to them contingent on reading some dishonest left-wing script which is what they’re doing then you’re a totalitarian country at that point and I don’t understand debanking somebody is fascism flat out and so I’m
Not really sure what you do I mean let me just I’ll just say this that kind of behavior is so truly extreme it’s so intolerant and it’s so intolerable that if they don’t knock it off you may have like act you may have violence in our country you can’t keep behaving that
Way and so in the interest of preventing some sort of national violent National schism because if people can’t live in a country unless they pretend that men can become women for example which they can’t because it’s detectable at the DNA level started to plunge into science
Class here but if you have to tell lies that’s stupid in order to stay at an Airbnb or have an account at JP Morgan then you know we’re going to have we’re going to have conflict in this country so I would just hope that lawmakers would do something about it not simply
To respond to conservatives who are being marginalized but to keep us from Civil War we got to pull back from this stuff Congress needs to say I’m sorry there are ways that we can hurt you Airbnb or JP Morgan in the case of JP Morgan in a lot of ways
Um and we will and we’re gonna we’re gonna hurt you unless you stop doing that you have to have a country where people’s political beliefs don’t determine whether they can stay indoors or eat food okay because that’s just North Korea and I understand Jamie dimon that you’re not
Doing this because you’re mean you’re doing it because you’re under pressure to do it but you can’t you have to hold the wine that everyone should have access to a bank account even if they voted for Donald Trump like that’s okay and don’t get down this road and but
We’re going to need Congress to there’s literally nothing we can do about it um because it’s not just one company it’s most companies it’s going to need congressional action and by the way they are afraid of lawmakers unfortunately lawmakers are dependent on them and that’s why we have no reform that’s why
Facebook is allowed to rig an election and Google is allowed to rig an election which they did and no one does anything because the tech Lobby in DC spends so much money on both parties that no one will stand up to them but that has to change or
Else things could get super crazy I think Tucker we’re over here your name my name is Alec Beaton I’m 21 years old and I first want to start off by thanking uh Erica Siegler that Britain Michigan Foundation pack for uh receiving give me the Anthony castigli scholarship um
So my question for you talker is you talked about organizing groups of people and had a choice been lost in the prairie every year 16 million Christians um 100 000 fishermen and 50 000 Hunters don’t vote every year but if they did they would vote right wing
On top of that I want to ask you how should Republicans capsulate this voting base and do you agree that we should stop wasting time trying to retake cities like Detroit which will never vote red which demographics proof I didn’t fully comprehend the last part of your question but I think like we
Should focus on getable votes is that what you’re saying yes I think I think I mean the Christian thing is I mean I don’t want to be luxury or preachy or whatever I’ve already admitted I was an Episcopalian so I have no grounds for lecturing anyone on religion
But I’m very very distressed by the state of the American Christian church and really disgusted by it frankly discussed by it and the amount of collaboration between Pastors in Protestant I’m talking about Protestant I’m Protestant so like I can only assess that but the amount of collaboration between Protestant pastors and
A government that hates them explicitly hates Christians in Christianity couldn’t be more obvious is shocking to me and the number of pastors who like somehow decided the New Testament commanded their parishioners to take the coveted vaccine you should resign like you should apologize for saying that at the very least
And I just was shocked by that I was completely in fact I haven’t been to church since that happened I was so mad and so like you know if I feel I’m very sympathetic to Christianity as you can probably tell and if if I if I’m too mad
To go to church I think you’ve done something wrong I think that’s fair and in admitting and I’ve done many things wrong in my life but admitting it and repenting is not only the Christian message but it’s also like essential for your own soul and so they should
Admit that and the insanity after George Floyd’s death where churches were getting up to say black lives matter which is an aggressively anti-christian group and Christian churches are promoting it I don’t think I’ve ever been that offended so um I don’t know what I don’t know what to say other than
Um Christians are part of the answer are the answer and I wouldn’t even just say Christians I would just say this I divide the world into two groups people who think they’re God and people who know they’re not and I’m a Christian so I get kind of wound up about it
But you know I’m going to the Middle East and East to be totally blunt with blunt with I like religious people and there are certainly parts of Islam that I you know I’m still mad about 9 11 anniversaries tomorrow but on the other hand you know any people who have to pause
Five times a day to be reminded that they’re not God like those aren’t my enemies necessarily it’s true I like people who know they’re not God it’s the people who think they are God who are a danger to my family because when you think you’re God there’s no limit on your behavior
When you know someone’s watching you behave very differently and so it’s the hubris of the neoliberal Global Leadership that scares the crap out of me they’re literally telling me they can change the weather you change the weather really bring water from that rock and I’ll believe you oh you can’t shut up
Um anyway yes I think the Republican party in Washington is uh has treated believing traditional Christians terribly they have contempt for them I think most Christians know that um but if you’re running a functional political party you would be totally open about it and uh the only people I trust personally are
In that category I’m just telling you sorry do we go out here hey Chuck that was loud hey Tucker Garris O’Donnell leader of the Grassroots Army I want to thank Eric and Kevin and then for you for taking the time to come out here and tell the truth but my
Question I think a lot of us here want to know is when are you running for president [Applause] there’s a lot of concern about security and politics I mean clearly the intensity is ramped up to the point where security is a real concern but I know that in my
Case the three daughters I’d be assassinated immediately by them if I tried to do something like that uh so I mean look my gift you know I’ve never been elected to anything my gift is talking not a bad thing my gift is talking and in general I don’t trust I don’t trust people
Who stray from their Lane always felt that way you know the famous joke like I’m a great actor but what I really want to do is direct shut up and act did you know what I mean like I was talk show host I’ve been a journalist my
Whole life 32 years I’m the son of a journalist that’s kind of what I do I know being a journalist is like probably right above you know asbestos manufacture child molester and the public view but like the traditional view of Journalism where you find out what’s going on you tell people it’s
Like not hard it’s not a profession it’s a trade I like doing that I’m pretty good at it and at 54 to be like well actually what I really wanted was run a country that that might be an example of the kind of hubris that I despise
And um I’ll comment on it you know I feel like that’s my strength um but I have to say if I just stop it up with this but let’s make an obvious point the caliber of politicians has never been high and there’s some great ones I have a few
Friends of politics like great people there for the right reason I mean that does exist for sure but overall the the quality does seem to be in Decline a little bit and that’s distressing because these are important jobs like we make fun of Congress you know what do you do all day
Well I don’t know appropriate trillions of dollars chart the future of America it does matter we put a senile guy in as president like literally where we didn’t 81 million voters did who are they can we name them 81 million votes okay more than Barack Obama all right
It’s crazy the lies they tell it it’s almost like the lies get more Preposterous just to see if you’ll believe them do you know what I mean he got 81 million votes no he’s really running the government Tucker you ready for another one hi Tucker I’m Debbie rinkel born and
Raised here in Utica both my great-grandfathers bought plants here many many years ago and they were part of the Hogs Hollow leadership when I think about what you said in terms of holding your ground don’t leave fight I believe in that my kids I have three
Of them the youngest is 23 and went to University got indoctrinated and they keep saying to me is this really the hill you want to die on Mom hell yes hell yes [Applause] I will fight against all of this indoctrination and what I want to know
From you Tucker and thank you so much for your bravery in speaking truth to power is as a Christian and knowing that what we’re fighting against is those who believe they are God how we how do you what are your words of encouragement to all of us I don’t need
Encouragement I’m good I’m strong I will fight to my death on this but to everybody else who’s faltering and wavering what is your encouragement to them well I mean my words of encouragement would be similar to the encouragement that I receive daily which is from other people
I mean it’s amazing how depressing it is and really has been since Memorial Day of 2020 that to me that’s when it started when they started telling all these lies about George Floyd and then burned all the cities and then claimed they didn’t and then covet happened it’s like it’s
Been true Insanity since about May 30th 2020 and hard for me to look at the news but that’s my job so I have to so I found myself wrestling with discouragement and rage more rage and discouragement and you know you don’t want to be angry you can’t make wise decisions in Anger
Anger’s a sin so avoid anger but it’s hard to avoid anger so I have just been so struck as I’ve seen all these things happening that I find repulsive and dishonest really the just the lying at scale that’s going on I’ve been struck by all the wonderful
And truly decent and kind people that have emerged in my life almost as a counterbalance to that I mean I don’t know if you remember but like 10 years ago how many truly deep conversations did you have about life and the world and death and the future of democracy with
Other people like probably not too many I feel like the country’s gotten unhappier but also deeper I feel like people’s relationships have become you know I’ve lost a million friends because I’m now a fascist or whatever but I’ve also gained so many friendships that are even more meaningful to me
I see that everywhere and I don’t think you need to be a believer to ask like is that natural or is there some sort of Supernatural element to that and I think that’s kind of most people’s experience of life like there’s tragedy but there’s joy and you get them
In roughly equal measure maybe a little bit more joy than tragedy but that’s just kind of the experience of living and I have found that as my anguish over the country has increased so has the the joy and the Wonder I feel in dealing with other people and I think a lot of
People have had that experience I mean I was talking to a buddy of mine the other day I was like man there’s like such a deep conversation and I’m like would we have had this five years ago no so just don’t be discouraged open your eyes to
The beauty around us and the last thing I’ll say is this is a very beautiful country physically it just physically in all of our conversation environment is about global warming I’m trying not to use swear words unstable nonsense that’s what it is whoever said that yes and
But no one ever talks about the beauty of the physical beauty of America it’s like ridiculous you drive around Michigan my wife’s family is a place in northern Michigan you drive we find a Detroit drive up there to a neckama Michigan it’s like by the end I just
Have a grin on my face and by the way when we drive in Michigan We only listen to Michigan artists period so it’s a hundred percent Motown and Bob Seger right etc etc Kid Rock um but by the time I get there I’m like I can’t believe how pretty it is it and
I think people spend so much time on their phones captured by the screens in the rage machine they never open their eyes they’re like look at those trees right there they’re insane what are they going to look like in four weeks when they turn all right awesome unbelievable
Anyway whatever I can go on forever one last question yes Marie did you um so my question is and a patriot over here mentioned the citizens in Ohio and Palestine and I have been digging deep a little bit into what the citizens of Lahaina yeah Maui have experienced and
Just the plight of those people and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of you know talking about this in mainstream media and my heart goes out to these people speaking of beautiful places and I just wonder what your thoughts were on that and how we can get the word out the
People there are begging for people to know and understand what’s happened there yes I agree and if I’m just gonna be totally blunt with you I I can tell that you’re upset about it and I love that because we should when we see Americans suffering be really moved by it and you
Hope that we haven’t become so callous with the endless Litany of tragedy that we don’t really feel for people on a gut level I’ve never been to East Palestine I’ve never been to Maui but you’ll get those pictures you’re like man these are my countrymen you know and you’re
Crushed by it we should be crushed by it I don’t know I mean I don’t know the answer there are a lot of questions I have about that fire but my most basic question is how is this not dominating news coverage I don’t understand that and it’s scary to me that
You know the people who allocate the trillions every year and who are in charge of the defense budget or whatever are much more interested in what happens in Ukraine than they are in McAllen Texas or Maui and I mean this sort of gets to my core concern about all of it
People are flawed and human organizations are by definition flawed and you’re always going to have horrible things happen because as noted that’s the nature of life people get sick we all die in the end there’s something inherently sad about life I get it I don’t expect none of us should expect an
Easy ride or a perfect outcome because we’re not going to get it but what we should expect is for someone to care and I do think that really is part of Trump’s power and any politician like Trump the one thing about Trump is people who don’t have power can feel and
They’re right that Trump doesn’t hate them and like that makes up for a lot because most people with power do hate you actually and they hate you know they hate you because they’re indifferent I’m watching a really close friend go through a divorce right now which is everyone’s here has seen it
Speaking of tragedy there’s almost nothing worse than that up close when you get it as a very close friend so I’m hearing all the details and he said to me the other day it’s gotten to the point where we’re not yelling at each other we just don’t care
And that’s the end stage that’s true hate when you don’t care it is it’s just and that is kind of what a lot of suffering Americans are getting from their so-called leaders is they’re not even they don’t even care doesn’t put their priorities and I think that’s I I think we’re
Setting the stage for something really really bad I would rather last thing I’ll say is I would rather have a leader who was even drunk I’d put up with that but who cared like so when you stood up and said you know what’s happened in Mountain I can hear your voice clear
Everything it’s like you really care I don’t know what happened there I don’t know what the answer is I don’t know how he presented prevent it again but I know that any solution begins with being deeply moved by what just happened and if you don’t have that you won’t have a solution
Thank you thank you for having me so appreciate her before you leave we I want to present you me and Kevin with a couple things we have our official America First shirt support our police on the side and then stand up Michigan in brighter Michigan we have one motto together and we’re
Trying to bring and Garrett scratcher’s Army in every organization that is fractured in this state there’s one thing we can believe in and that is choose Freedom amen choose freedom I’ll be wearing those my front porch tomorrow thank you and if you wouldn’t mind sign the painting we would just
Appreciate it thank you Tucker the painting over here follow me okay
