Every single speaker that got up on stage either directly called out Tucker Carlson or alluded to his impact in the conservative movement. And one of the loudest voices was Mark Levin, who decided that actually, he's changed his mind. And when it comes to Tucker Carlson, he does like cancel culture. [00:00:16] You don't get to claim you're MAGA and America first when you're lining up with the Marxists and the Islamists and Hamas and the terrorists. That's not America first. That's sick. And I'm so glad, Mark, that you are finally just being open, that you are telling everyone how inconsistent and hypocritical you are [00:00:34] that your values only apply to the left. People are trying to cancel her. Now, if you're wondering who that was, it's conservative darling. Well, maybe former conservative darling and former Daily Wire host Brett Cooper, [00:00:50] who honestly doesn't typically weigh in on foreign policy. She's more in the she's very young. I think she's like 22 or 23. She's more in the realm of pop culture and entertainment, but she felt the need to call out the hypocrisy on the right, especially [00:01:08] as it pertains to this organized campaign. Really to cancel Tucker Carlson for hosting Nick Fuentes on his podcast. The whole argument is that Tucker Carlson is bad because he platformed Nick Fuentes. [00:01:23] What they might not know is, as much as they hate it, as much as they don't want it to be true. Nick Fuentes has a massive audience of his own, and I don't know what you're supposed to do with that. Trying to censor it doesn't work. [00:01:39] He didn't need Tucker to be platformed. He's got his own audience. But the question is, how do you respond to someone who is ascendant, who has said things that are pretty gross, that I vehemently disagree with, not just about Jewish people, [00:01:55] but about women, about black people, about all sorts of people. All those videos exist. I've seen them, okay, but at the same time, they're not necessarily targeting Nick Fuentes. They're specifically targeting Tucker Carlson, and they want [00:02:11] to destroy him, there's no question. And nothing made that clearer than the multiple speeches that were given at the Republican Jewish Coalition summit. Mark Levin was one of the speakers, and you're about to hear, Brett Cooper call him out. Further in this next clip. [00:02:29] Are you to be deciding who can be part of MAGA? I mean, that's just so ironic, considering the fact that Mark Levin was one of the leaders and one of the loudest voices of the Never Trump movement that started way back in 2015. And now here he is ten years later, trying to gatekeep the movement [00:02:44] because he doesn't like a few people and a few very loud voices. I mean, he literally wrote a book on the power and importance of free speech and fighting back against cancel culture. In that book, he said, and I quote, free speech is a requisite to all other freedoms. It is also how individuals and societies learn, reform, improve progress, etc. [00:03:03] It is how governments are held to account or adjust to the will of the people. This is what he said on his show just a month ago. This is what he quoted about free speech. Free speech is crucial to countering the government and those in power. It is crucial to sharing information and making decisions as a people, [00:03:21] as a collective we about our society. I've written about it often, including in On Power. I have an entire chapter on language and speech. Every true patriot should believe in it and defend it. Period. You are not solutions oriented. You are not freedom oriented. [00:03:37] Your response was simply to wag fingers and demand that somebody you don't like be de-platformed. That is what the left does. That is not what we do. And trying to censor people just doesn't work. It actually makes them more powerful. It just does. [00:03:54] And if you were open minded enough to listen to the entirety of that conversation on Tucker's show. He makes a point to draw a very clear distinction between himself and his beliefs versus what Nick Fuentes beliefs are. And, I guess, look, was to be fair to those who are criticizing Tucker Carlson, [00:04:15] I think it's fair to criticize him. I think that's different from trying to destroy him because he had Nick Fuentes on. He was definitely a lot more. What's the right word? I wouldn't say soft. He was nicer to him than he was to Ted Cruz. [00:04:31] Right? Ted Cruz is a United States senator, who believes that his mission in life is to represent Israel as opposed to the American people. And he made that clear on Tucker Carlson's podcast, by the way, and he called Tucker Carlson an anti-Semite out of the gate. [00:04:46] And that would make me pretty angry and defensive, too, if I were interviewing him. But let's put that away for a minute. So, look, everyone's a hypocrite when it comes to free speech. Okay, everyone, because everyone likes to say they want to protect free speech when it's speech that they like and others are angry at. [00:05:03] In this case, though, Mark Levin is all about free speech. He wrote it. He wrote about it in his book. But he doesn't like that. Two consenting adults who are very critical of Israel got together and had a conversation. They're both different in their ideologies, in very distinct ways, but that doesn't matter. [00:05:18] And he's not going after Nick Fuentes. He's specifically and this has been a long running campaign of Mark Levin's. He's specifically going after Tucker Carlson. They've they've got a problem on the right, because there's a bit of a civil war brewing over this Israel question. [00:05:36] And it's just weird because Netanyahu and his coalition had decided years ago because for whatever reason, they hated Barry, even though he gave them damn near everything they wanted except for the Iran deal. And they were like Obama. [00:05:52] When you say, Barry, I don't want anyone. To. Think that's very wise. Yeah, they hated Barack Obama, and he gave them everything except for the Iran deal. And they decided, look, we're going to throw our entire lot in with the Republicans, which is just it's a mistake for a bunch of reasons. [00:06:08] One, because like, the Republicans aren't always in power, and you you don't want to disenfranchize and alienate the other side that will one day eventually be in power and can ruin your life. Another reason why it was pretty stupid. It's like, do you know who right wingers are? [00:06:27] Like. Like, I'm sorry, dude. Like the people in America likely to feel sympathy for the project of Israel are not hyper religious right wingers and even those. [00:06:43] Like so I don't know if that's true, to be honest. I mean, the left has been far more critical of Israel for a much longer period of time. And the the left is a tiny fraction of the American electorate as compared to those right wingers. [00:06:59] You know what I mean? And so and also even the evangelicals who support you, they support you because they think you gotta be there so Jesus could come back and kill you all anyway. That's a toxic support. It was just always just a strange, strange bedfellows. [00:07:19] And the reason why they don't attack Nick Fuentes Ana is because they know with a lot of younger right wingers, he is seen as the vanguard of the right wing. Meaning you can't get more right than him. Okay. Like he's seen as the arch right winger. So to go against him is to go. [00:07:37] You're basically calling yourself a rhino to that segment of young Republican men specifically. And I think they're literally scared of Nick Fuentes. And, you know, Tucker, they they see Tucker as vulnerable. I don't know why he got fired. [00:07:53] - No Fox. - News. - I disagree. - And he's he's even bigger than ever. He is. He is bigger than ever. No, they don't see him as vulnerable. They'd love for him to be vulnerable. It'd be easier to crush him. He's influential. And I think that he has begun to be [00:08:09] influential, not just among conservatives in America, but also libertarians. Also those on the left who are very much part of the anti-war movement. Look, I don't like everything he has to say. I don't agree with everything he has to say, but he interviews [00:08:26] really interesting guests. I didn't know who Colonel Douglas MacGregor was, but I learned because of Tucker Carlson's program, and I think he has really interesting insights in foreign policy. He's not getting interviewed by CNN. He's not getting interviewed by corporate media or legacy media. [00:08:42] And I think Tucker brings up some thought provoking points on a lot of issues that I care about. And so his influential nature is precisely the reason why, and the fact that he's a critic of what the Israeli government is currently doing is precisely the reason [00:08:57] why he has a target on his back. As it pertains to people like Mark Levin, people like Lindsey Graham, people like Senator Ted Cruz. And so I just want to go to one more clip featuring Bret Cooper talking about Mark Levin, and then we'll move on to what she had to say, to Lindsey Graham. [00:09:17] Later in his speech, Mark also made sure to emphasize that it wasn't just about Tucker and the people that he was platforming. It was about all of us who, like Tucker, are in his audience. And anybody who shares these ideas online just take a watch. You think you're stupid little podcast, your stupid little subscription program, [00:09:36] or your little TV show, or maybe you have a little radio show is going to change the world. Like hell it is. I mean, thankfully for us, Mark just said the quiet part out loud. Frankly, it is embarrassing. You are exposing that you are absolutely petrified of his influence, and therefore [00:09:52] your strategy is to minimize his reach, which is laughable, and then attack him. You are genuinely terrified that the influencers, the podcasters, the commentators who are not backing down, who are not cowering to your very obvious blanket threats of cancellation, are running circles around your numbers. [00:10:09] That's the only reason you're calling them little podcasts. Little TV shows. And again, listen, that's fine. You have every right to be upset. I get that you're angry. I get that you're worried. You have an uphill battle to fight now, obviously, but you all picked possibly the worst strategy to employ. [00:10:26] I totally agree with her on that. It is the worst strategy to deploy because when you make Nick Fuentes as dangerous as they're making him again, they empower him and they make him. They're drawing more attention to him in the middle of his ascendancy and they don't realize it. [00:10:42] But also, like, what does Mark Levin do for a living? He's a conservative talk show host on radio. That's what he does. So you think your little radio show is going to change the world? Mark Levin. [00:10:59] I mean, how gross and condescending is this guy? Now, I want to just move on to what she had to say about Lindsey Graham. I'm look, I'm not conservative, but it makes me so happy. [00:11:14] I think it's, like, the biggest white pill ever to see young conservatives or conservatives in general, speak out against what Senator Lindsey Graham said in this speech, because it was just absolutely disgusting. So without further ado, let's get into what she had to say about that. [00:11:31] So I just want to say I feel good about the Republican Party. I feel good about where we're going as a nation. We're killing all the right people. We're cutting your taxes. - I don't even have words. - To respond to that right now. Lindsey Graham, who just got up on stage and he said, the Republicans are killing [00:11:48] the right people like Lindsey. Is that a Freudian slip? Like, do you want to end up on the next episode of Candace's show? Because that's basically where you're heading with this, with these types of jokes like, this is not what you should be doing. But Lindsey did not just stop there. This is what he said next. But if you ever run for office as a Republican and you embrace this weird [00:12:08] that we're going to beat your brains out. This is just absurd. Like, weren't we just talking? Weren't we collectively all outraged and losing our minds over how disgusting it was for Gavin Newsom to sit on his podcast and say that he wanted Democrats to get out in the streets and punch Republicans in the mouth. [00:12:27] I loved that part of her video a lot, especially because yesterday was I was on, CNN's, like, digital platform and the topic of political violence came up. And so Ben Shapiro was there. And then one other woman from I think Daily Wire was there as well. [00:12:44] I forget her name, but she, she and Ben kept, like, harping on left wing political violence. And look, that's fair. There has been some left wing political violence, but are we really going to pretend like it's one sided? And I like the fact that she called out violent rhetoric that spewed by a [00:13:02] liberal Republican United States senator. Yeah, I think it's great that she's going after the war hawks of the party. And to me, the war hawks of the party and the biggest, Israel supporters are one and the same. It's to me, it's it's one thing like the reason why these people, you know, [00:13:20] are like a big reason for a lot of their full throated support of Israel is like, no, there are guys over there for when we eventually go and kill every Iranian in existence, right? Like that's part of the big muscular Israel support on the right. [00:13:37] It's like, no man, there are partners for when we want to do war crimes ourselves. And so, you know, finally, like younger people, are just very much way more averse to Americans sending troops and bombing the hell out of other countries [00:13:54] for whose benefit nobody can identify. Nobody can tell me what the war in Iraq or Afghanistan did for any single American. Right? And I think people realize that, and even people on the right are calling it out, which, you know, generations ago, no, like us, [00:14:10] militarism, that would have been part of the thing that made you love the right was that you were about all of that crazy stuff. And, you know, the the tide is turning so. Well, I think that's important. I think if there's like one less bad aspect of right wing terrorism [00:14:29] that can just be knocked out, that's a good for all of us. I totally and wholeheartedly agree. And, for me, it also goes beyond politics. It's about the identity of this country and what we stand for [00:14:45] and what our moral values are. And for me, it is immoral for any politician to stand up in front of a crowd of people and talk about how giddy he is over slaughtering people. So, especially as the US has aided and [00:15:05] abetted and funded the genocide in Gaza. And honestly, I don't even know what he was specifically thinking about. Was he thinking about all those kids that got slaughtered in Gaza when he said that we're killing the right people, or was he thinking about. He's doing the freaking boats in South America, which. [00:15:20] - Is also gross, which is also. - Gross. Insane. No evidence that those fishing boats are drug traffickers. It's just. And besides which, some of them have actually survived and they were returned to Venezuela or in some cases, Colombia. [00:15:38] Really, if they're drug traffickers and they're dangerous narco Go terrorists. - Is that what you do? - You just go terrorist, by the way. - Somebody explain. - That. To me. Like they sell cocaine and heroin. And then what? Like they blow stuff up. [00:15:53] Like what? Where's the terrorism part? Well, everything's terrorism now. Are Americans nose is being terrorized by the incredible drugs that they ship here. Like, what are we doing with that? Like, I don't understand that terminology at all. [00:16:08] Yeah, well, it's it's meant to scare people. No one's buying it. And I'm really happy that she spoke out against it, but she's been dealing with some pretty gross attacks. And in no way did she defend Nick Fuentes. She defended Tucker Carlson's decision to sit down and have a conversation [00:16:26] with Nick Fuentes. But nonetheless, you know, you have Ted Cruz saying, I don't know who this angry lady is, but she's missing a key distinction. Fuentes calls himself a Nazi. He has said Hitler is very cool. Hitler was right, and he is on Hitler, by the way. [00:16:41] All of those things are true. She's never defended that, ever. Not once. And neither has Tucker Carlson, by the way. If you explicitly side with and advocate for Hitler, you're an actual effing Nazi. So, yeah, you're right. Conservatives are in a lot of trouble. [00:16:58] The right wing is in a lot of trouble. Trump won by running on an America First message, an antiwar message. He was popular because of that message. And he's opened a can of worms because now it's very clear to me that there's a significant portion of Republican voters, [00:17:15] and especially young conservatives who do not want to get entangled in these forever wars, who do not want U.S. Interventionism, who want our politicians to focus on making this country better. And that's one of the few things, that are giving me hope right now. [00:17:33] So we'll see how this all ends up. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
