1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, October fifteenth. This is the morning a 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: group of very senior young Republicans have been exposed by 3 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: their Internet texts, by their emails. And they knew it, 4 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: they said during one of the texts. If anyone ever 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 1: sees these, we're cooked. Now Here are the young men 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: that we're talking about. They are the children of Maga. 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: They love Trump and they love Adolph Hitler. These are 8 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: the text messages, these are the words they use. The 9 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: language is vile. It's racist, it's antisemitic, it's cruel, and 10 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: it's depraved. It's utterly, absolutely irredeemable. And yet, of course 11 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: it is excused by the sick leaders of a sick movement, 12 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: starting with the Vice President of the United States, a 13 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: man with no credibility whatsoever, JD. Vance, who doesn't use 14 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: the power of his office to make a statement about 15 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: right and wrong and to condemn the obvious. Instead, he 16 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: points the finger at the closest whack job in the 17 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. He can find the Attorney general nominee in 18 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: the state of Virginia, who is as unfit as these 19 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: children are. But they're not really kids, or are they. They're 20 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: in their twenties. These are the disciples of Charlie Kirk. 21 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: These are the future aids of Stephen Miller. This is 22 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: the degeneracy of American politics. If we ever had a 23 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: leak of this chat, we would be cooked. Let me 24 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: quote for my friend Dean Blundell on his substack. That 25 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: line buried in a month's long telegram conversation among young 26 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: Republican leaders reads like a confession and a prophecy, and 27 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: covered in a recent investigative report by Politico. When the 28 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: cash surfaced, the mask slipped, revealing a culture where cruelty 29 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: doubles as camaraderie and extremism is repackaged as jokes, all 30 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: while its authors chase real power inside the GOP's youth pipeline. 31 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: There is a question that every American should think deeply 32 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: about while considering the tax of future political leaders in 33 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: the country. MAGA leaders, the leaders of the youth wing 34 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: of Trump's MAGA movement, who claim they love Hitler, who 35 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: celebrate gas shamers, who call black people monkeys. When we 36 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: think about the future, we should think about the masked men, 37 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: the ones on the roof, the ones with rifles, the 38 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: ones who pointed those rifles at a priest and pulled 39 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: the trigger. These young people who venerate Trump and Hitler, 40 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: and who celebrate the gas chamber, the murder of millions 41 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: of people, the sick Maga young men and women who 42 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: denounce Jews, who denounce their fellow Americans, who want to 43 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: put millions of Americans up against the wall, or to 44 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: walk them into the gas and then to toss them 45 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: into the ovens. They have been marinated in the stew 46 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: of a sick society. They are the creations of a 47 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: broken media and an even more broken politics. They are 48 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: the fruit of COVID and the school closings and the 49 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: social isolation. These are rotten, spoiled, degenerate, broken young Americans 50 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: who hate with the deepest passion. And they be happy, joyous, 51 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: even maybe even sexually excited to watch up close the 52 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: violence that they cheer on in these texts. And none 53 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: of it is condemned. Look at the word clouds, look 54 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: at this, and instead, the message that set out from 55 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: the senior leaders of their faction, of their movement, of 56 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: their Maga extreme ast cause is it's okay because the 57 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: other side is worse and you're with us. And that, 58 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: my friends, is how you lose the country. How the 59 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 1: Republic falls into an abyss of hatred. What these young 60 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: people are, indisputably are little likements. The man who interrogated 61 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: out Off Hikmen for two hundred and seventy five hours, 62 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: twenty years after the fact, was asked the question and 63 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: he said he had a takeaway from the experience. The 64 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: takeaway was this, He said, it gave him his faith 65 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: in democracy, the two hundred and seventy five hours he 66 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: spent with Adolf Eikman because he understood that there are 67 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: Adolph Hikmans everywhere all around us. But they're harmless in 68 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: a democracy, he said, deadly in a dictatorship, they turned 69 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: deadly in an instant. That's what Avner lest, the man 70 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: who interrogated Adolf Hikeman, said, it made no mistake. Look 71 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: at these pictures of these soft, obese, sick young Americans 72 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: physically soft, mentally deranged, adult twisted. Wow, oh wow, do 73 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: we live in a broken country. There are no words 74 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: to describe the sickness revealed by these young people's texts. 75 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: Question political reported on a group out of a lot 76 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: of young Republicans. I'm wondering your thoughts on that, and 77 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 2: just dis reflects you know, there's just some bad apples 78 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: in this chat, or do you think that there's a toxicity. 79 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: Around the entire party some bad apples. 80 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 4: These are the future of the Republican Party. 81 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: This was so vile. 82 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 4: It is hard to find the words to put into 83 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 4: context that these are people who are part of a 84 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 4: political party, one of two major political parties, and they 85 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 4: believe in gas chambers and rape and discrimination based on 86 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 4: the color of people's skins. These are racist, sexists, disgusting remarks. 87 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 4: And I would say this. We have a leader from 88 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 4: the Republican Party in this state, the highest rank individual, who, 89 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 4: in the backdrop of all this, calls our candidate for mayor, 90 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 4: one of our candidates for mayor a jihadist and a terrorist, 91 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 4: and then somehow says, oh, what they said these young 92 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 4: Republicans was wrong, Like, look at what you say yourself, 93 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 4: look at your inflammatory words, and maybe they have an 94 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 4: effect on these young people, many of whom you support 95 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 4: and have supported you.
