They're increasingly going to leave the Democratic Party, as they're doing.
And that Democrat Party is going to increasingly become a party of crazy left-wingers.
And whoever gets the nomination, whoever the Republican candidate is against them in two years, I think is going to have a long, hard time to be able to win.
I think our country is waking up, and I think President Trump has been at the vanguard of that.
And I'm not the only Trumpocrat out there, Democrat for Trump.
Good to talk to you again, Tucker.
Thank you.
The American public deserves to know.
I told my nephew Alex he just turned 26 today. I called him for his birthday, and I said, it's too bad you're not four years older, because I could have given you a U.S. Senate seat for your birthday. You know what I mean? I've got this thing, and it's f***ing golden. And I'm just not giving it up for f***ing nothing. I'm not going to do it.
You know, I spent almost eight years in prison for politics, not for crimes. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about any of it because I didn't do it. It was all politics. But the first three years, almost three years, they put me in a higher security prison. And I'm in there with Crips and Bloods and Gangster Disciples and Sinaloa cartel drug dealers. Why would they do that?
They were squeezing me and pressuring me because they wanted me to basically say I did something that I didn't do. They wanted me to plead guilty to non-crimes.
Yeah. And and they really punished me because I fought back in a way that no one really does, except for Trump. I mean, I was fighting back when they brought those charges against me everywhere and I was calling them criminals.
They tried me twice after the first trial where they failed to convict me on their fake corruption charges. They were floating 18 months. And, you know, there were a lot of people in my team, like my lawyers, who thought that might be the prudent thing to do because you really can't beat these people. The system is rigged.
And when they really want to get you, they'll just keep trying you and they'll get their judge to work with them and they'll ultimately convict you as they did me by using unlawful standards to criminalize things that are legal in politics and government. So the prudent thing, the safe thing, was to cut your losses and take the short period of prison time. But I felt, I wasn't a businessman.
I suppose if I was a businessman facing something like that, you'd make a business decision, you cut your losses, you realize... They're bleeding you financially. You can't afford lawyers. This is going to be an endless thing. It was already three years at that point that we had been fighting it. But I was the governor, twice elected by the people.
And, you know, these oaths don't mean a lot to some people. It sounds like a bunch of bullshit to say I swore on the Holy Bible. as the governor to preserve, protect the rule of law, the constitution. I just couldn't do it. And I knew it was all bullshit. It was all corrupt. They knew it was all corrupt. And it was all an effort to try to get me to admit it.
And if I admitted it, then the truth would never come out. They can never be exposed for what they did. And because I wouldn't do it, and I fought back, because if I'm right, and I know I am, and they were doing to me what they ultimately ended up doing to Trump, weaponizing their uncontrolled power and unlimited resources to criminalize political things.
If the truth comes out, they're going to be facing some sort of accountability, hopefully one day, and hopefully now with the new administration, they'll reform the laws.
Yep.
You know, when you come out of Chicago politics, which is a politics that probably has a larger proportion of corruption than other- That's how they got JFK elected. Other places, yeah. Right? Yeah.
