Yeah, you bring up Platner. Is that why he's being attacked? Because he's not pro-Israel. Of course. I grew up in Washington when Ted Kennedy, who killed a girl, was the most revered Democrat. The lion of the state. He literally killed a girl. He drove off a bridge in 1968 in Martha's Vineyard onto a Chapagintic Island and left her to die. She drowned in the car. And everyone knew that for his entire political career. And he also was sexually. assaulting women left and right, including one I know on the floor of a restaurant called La Brasserie on Capitol Hill. I'm from there. I watch this. And that was fine because he, I don't know, opened the borders, made a lot of passionate noises about abortion. So like it was totally fine. His long documented history of sexual assault and murder of a woman was all fine.

So, you know, excuse me if I'm a little bit cynical about the Me Too stuff. Now, the problem of the Democratic Party is that it's run by, well, it's staffed by its most energetic members are unmarried women, many of whom have had abortions. And so that's kind of the core constituency. And they'll always tell you, no, it's black people. We love the black people. That's obviously not true. It's white women who are unmarried or have weak husbands and are unhappy and see the Democratic Party as dad. That's the core of the party right there. And so, in a party like that, what do you do with high testosterone men? Well, you can't have them, period. And Graham Platner's two sins were doubting Israel. And whatever you think of Graham Platner,

like I'm not on board with a lot of his program, but like he fought in Iraq multiple times, for real, too. He didn't work in the motor pool. He was in a unit that sustained some of the highest casualties in the entire war. Like, he's a man, okay? They hate that. And so you want to take that guy out. The kryptonite and the Democratic Party is second. assault. Well, if you look at the details, and I'm not defending Graham Platner because he sounds like a very flawed guy and maybe a really bad boyfriend or whatever. But like if you look at the actual details of those allegations, they're insane. They're insane. And by the way, if you were raped, you have a moral obligation to call the police because the guy could rape other women. In fact, rapists, I think, I keep reading, rapists never raped just one woman. They rape a lot of women. So if you care about stopping rape, you probably want to arrest rapists. So if you were raped, you I know it's hard, but you have an obligation to turn the guy into law enforcement. So let's just say that out loud because it's true. Right.

It's not an attack on women. It's a defensive woman. As someone who hates rape and thinks it's not punished harshly enough, which is my view, I would like see rape is punished. But they don't seem to be except in the closing hours of a primary fight in a Senate race. So like, okay, call me skeptical. But anyway, they took Graham Platner out because of Israel, obviously. And what's so interesting.

and sad and corrupting is a lot of the people who cheered it were Republicans, neo-con Republicans. And they were like, oh, no, really? I believe all women. What? You do? You're for me too now? Are you really now? Yeah.

They have ulterior motives. They don't want to let people know. Of course. It had nothing to do with that. And by the way, principles are what matter. Truth is what matters. Of course you don't believe all women or all men. You evaluate the evidence and you make people prove their claims because slander is also a crime.

So if you, we also just spent 10 years complaining about that standard on the right. The two things we complained about. We complained about identity politics. And then the second Trump got elected, all of a sudden everyone disagrees an anti-Semite. It's just another form. We just exchanged black people for Jewish people. It could be any people, but that's just identity politics. And the other thing we complained about was this me too.

insanity where you take people out on the basis of unproven claim, slander, and everyone goes along with it because we believe all women. And all of a sudden, Republicans are totally for this. And can I just say, is someone who actually does love women and is surrounded by them? You know who doesn't believe all women? Women. They don't. Most men, I know, I include myself in this, are much more likely to believe what women say than other women are. Did you ever talk to women? Do you know any women? Ask women how they assess the claims of other women. They're like, she's lying. It's not men who don't believe women. It's women who don't believe women. So stop it with your dumb posturing. I'm not falling for this. Great point, Tucker. Hey, is it possible

to vote our way out of this? I mean, everybody said, don't vote for candidates supported by APAC. It's like, if that's the case, who do you vote for? I mean, that's really the question that I been, I mean, I'm so worried that there's not a way to vote your way out of it because voting is preferable to shooting. And I'm totally opposed to violence. I'm opposed to violence in Gaza, opposed to blowing up girls' schools. I was shocked when the Capitol Hill police murdered Ashley Babbitt. I hate that. I hate violence. I just hate it. I've seen it. And I don't like it at all. So I don't want to get my nightmare is civil unrest in the United States or a civil war, any of that stuff. I hate that stuff. Political violence is a nightmare. But you get political

violence when people feel that they can't vote their way out of it. So offering people a safety, a pressure relief valve out of their problems. Like, calm down, don't do anything crazy. You can vote for this candidate. He may not fix all your problems, but at least get us a little closer to fixing those problems. At least listen to you. That's essential. And if you wake up and you have a system where Donald Trump and Chuck Schumer, these supposed enemies, have the same views on every meaningful question. And they're both telling you to shut up anti-Semite. I think in a candidate like Graham Platner, who again, I'm not a Democrat, I'm not voting for Graham Platner. However, Graham Platner was offering something slightly different, maybe,

slightly different. Like maybe we don't worship banks and Israel. And that guy gets taken out in a sexual assault scandal that is just transparently an op. Like people look at that and they're like, I can't even vote for Graham Platner. Really? I can't even vote for Bernie. They did the same thing to Bernie Sanders. And by the way,

both Bernie and Graham Platner fell for it. Because inside they're weak, like a man would not fall for that. They call Bernie Sanders a sexist. That's how they got him out of the Democratic primary because you don't remember. And a man would have said, I'm not a, you know, shut a bitch.

I'm not anti-women. And by the way, you know the one thing that women in my extensive experience with women really don't like is weak men. Right. And if Bernie Sanders had said, you know, I love women. I'm not a sexist. How dare you say that? Buzz off. I'm not getting out.

He would have gotten substantial female support. If Graham Platner had said, you know, I'm sure I've been a pig and I'm so sorry that I hurt this woman's feelings, but I'm not a rapist. And this is actually about Israel and I'm not getting out up yours. he would have had substantial female support. Women do not like weak men. I can say that conclusively, having lived 57 years around women, they don't like weak men. And the Democratic Party is staffed to the extent

that there are still heterosexual men in the Democratic Party, almost exclusively by beta males, by weak men. And that's the main reason all the women in the party are so unhappy. Weak men create unhappy women. And unhappy women, if they have children, raise weak sons. So this is a self-perpetuating cycle, and it's a disaster cycle that makes everybody miserable. Strong men make everyone, not overbearing or cruel or dictatorial men, but actually strong men.

Legitimately strong men, decisive, calm men make everyone happy. Okay? And that's the one thing they don't have in the Democratic Party. And I thought Platterner might be one of them, but he's clearly not. I can't believe he got out. That's the first I heard of it. He stepped up. He stepped up. Yeah.

Yeah, he said the system is against him. None of the donors are going to send him money. He can't get the voter list. Okay, I get it. You're up against a lot. What did you think was going to happen when you took on the system? The people are going to go along with it? No.

You take on the system. You've got an uphill fight, son. But you've done that before. You served in war. I mean, you can do this. That's what I would say if I were advising him, which I'm not. JD Vance. If J.D. Vance was president, are we bombing Iran?

Do we invade Iran? Of course not. Of course not. Not for itself. Obviously not. I mean, that's the tragedy. And that's why they hated J.D. Vance from the beginning. I mean, J.D. Vance, whatever you think of how he's behaved since February 28th,

it's very obvious. It was very obvious when he was chosen in July of 2024, that he is not the guy who's going to start a regime-change war against Iran. And starting a regime-change war against Iran was the number one priority of Trump's donors and of the NEO-Con class. which has been discredited for 40 years. It's hard to believe they still have any power in this country at all, like zero. They should have zero power.

I mean, there's no group that has been responsible for more disasters in the history of this country than the neocon foreign policy establishment. So those people had as their goal from the second Trump was elected to push Trump to do what he did on February 28th. And they knew that J.D. Vance was not for it. And that's why they pushed Trump to pick Marco Rubio, who, of course, is completely controlled by his donors, his neocon donors, like truly a puppet of his donors. They pushed him to be Secretary of State and the National Security Advisor, both at the same time.

And they've hated J.D. Vance because he's not fully on board. But by the way, I don't think J.D. Vance is some, like, crazed enemy of the neocons. I wish you were a little bit more a crazed enemy of the neocons. But he's a pretty moderate guy by his temperament. And he's like, no, I don't think it helps America. We're not going to do it. That is too much for them. Any disobedience drives them completely insane. It drove them insane with Charlie Kirk.

It was like very pro-Israel, kind of moderate on the question, but he said things like, I don't want any more forever worse. Boy, they hated Charlie Kirk. People like Ben Shapiro hated Charlie Kirk for that. Now they pretend you were such close friends. You lie. You lie.

They hated Charlie Kirk because he expressed skepticism of their program. Same with Judy Vance. Skepticism. Like they can't even tolerate that. That's what true extremists they are. Any dissent is unacceptable. Whereas I think a normal person, like you may have a wife or a friend is not with you on every issue. Like we disagree. We agree to disagree. Normal people agree to disagree. They are not normal people. They will not agree to disagree. They will crush you if you don't bend the knee to them. And there's kind of no

coexisting with people like that. They demand total obedience. Like who demands total obedience? Only God gets my total obedience, son. Right.
