[00:55] So what's the most dangerous word in politics? It's not no, no is boring, no gets you left off the committee, no gets you left off the invitation to the cocktail party, no one's ever been ruined by no. Well, maybe they have. It's yes. Here's the thing about yes, it's the cheapest word in the English language. It costs the person saying it nothing. The bill always shows up somewhere else for someone else on a headstone, on a paycheck, in a subreddit, on X. So tonight we're going to do the hard word. Let's roll.
[01:32] This week, a national leader of the Democratic Socialists of America, i.e. the Democrat Party, stood in front of a delegation from the Communist, from the Chinese Communist Party and said yes. Yes to Beijing, yes to communism, yes to pushing socialism to the mass, which is how you talk about people when you've never asked them for a vote.
[01:54] Ahmed Hussein is his name, a leader for the DSA, the same organization that produced Mamdani, who's not even from here. He welcomed a delegation from the Chinese Communist Party in New York. He got up, looked at the delegation from Beijing and said, quote, we try to push socialism to the masses,
[02:28] into the masses. You know who talks like that? Drug dealers. Then he kept going. It only gets worse. He said China is an incredibly positive vision of socialism for everyone around the world. We try to build up a positive vision, and I think China is an incredible positive vision of socialism for everyone around the world. Oh, China's a positive vision. China's communism. I don't think the guy knows the difference between socialism and communism. It's such a positive. China is, they had to build a firewall around their own citizens so they can't see out. Let me run down the positive vision because I don't think Ahmed's ever taken the tour. A million Uyghurs in camps, in concentration camps, Tiananmen Square, a social credit score that decides whether you could buy a train ticket or not. And during COVID, China welded people's apartment doors shut from the outside. That's the incredibly positive vision.
[03:31] Ahmed looked at a country, that welded people into their homes and thought, man, we should bring this to Ohio. Let me out. He praised the Chinese system using the one right the Chinese system doesn't allow, and that's the freedom of speech. And he didn't even notice the irony. That's a man standing in a lifeboat, pitching everyone on a lifeboat with a leak in it. Now everyone in the DSA will tell you they're socialists, not communists. I don't think they actually know the difference.
[04:04] Democratic socialists, very different. Terrible healthcare, nice sweaters, and very expensive eyewear. Then explain to me why the delegation was from Beijing and not Copenhagen, because when the DSA needed a positive vision, they ran to the one country on earth that runs the exact same system they swear they don't want. And they took notes. They had memos, internal memorandums. The DSA has 200 chapters. They elected the mayor of the biggest city in the world, the biggest city in America, who isn't from America, and should be deported. And their national leadership stood in front of Chinese Communist Party and described our country as a target market. They called us the masses. I call us voters. Turns out only one of those groups gets to be right on election day. Be smart, people, and use your vote. And last night in Florida, proved the Democrat socialists of America are a problem. They are a huge problem. Listen to this.
[05:04] Angie Nixon, a state representative who joined the Democrat socialists of America about five minutes ago, won the Democrat nomination for United States Senate in Florida, Trump's home state, where he and Ron DeSantis won by miles, won by a lot over Alexander Vindman. And okay, you might need your earplugs for this one. This is crazy train.
[05:46] All right, enough of that. I've had enough of that. We're, we're not doing that. That's too much. But for those who don't remember Alexander Vindman, Vindman, her opponent was the Lieutenant Colonel who testified in Trump's first impeachment. He's been on cable news for seven years. He's the brother of a sitting Congressman. He raised $16 million, $16 million. Angie Nixon raised less than one. He outspent her 16 to one. He lost by 12 points. That's not a campaign. That's a man who bought a Ferrari and drove it right into the ocean the day that he bought it. Maybe right off the coast of Florida. Here's the part that should make your stomach turn. No matter what you think of the guy, Alexander Vindman, I don't think very much of him. He was born in Kiev during Soviet Union times. His family fled socialism when he was three years old. He came here with nothing. And last night, Florida Democrats in a state full of Cubans and Venezuelans who also fled socialism, looked at the refugee from socialism and the member of the Democrats.
[06:49] They picked the Democratic Socialists of America party, Democrat party, and picked, they picked the socialist. That's the Democrat party telling you who they are. Meanwhile, Ashley Moody won the Republican primary with 80% of the vote and said the quiet part out loud. She said, we're staring down crazy in the socialist. She'll win, Florida's Florida. But that's not, that's not the point. The point is that Ahmed Hussein stood in front of Beijing on Saturday and said, we tried to push the Democrats and push socialism to the masses and stood up China as a great example. And on Tuesday in the third biggest state in America, a major party nominated one of his members for the Senate. He's not pushing. The door is wide open. Florida Democrats said yes and held open the door for him. So if you think the DSA is a few college kids or a few rich kids with a bullhorn, Florida just proved you wrong. They've got the mayor of New York, and now, they've got a Senate nominee in Florida, and they've got people that gleefully flew to China to take notes.
[07:56] Yes, gleeful is a cheap word, but Florida just found out what it costs. And here's one more thing I want to show you about this woman, this DSA woman. Oh my gosh, what she says about drag shows. This is the indoctrination coming to town near you. This is what they're doing. There's no sexualization at a drag show. It's just people dressing up and singing and performing. I've taken my children to drag shows, and it's fun. It's entertainment. It's wholesome entertainment, and there's nothing wrong. It's just... Did she just say drag shows are wholesome entertainment for the whole family? I mean, this is the type of person Democrats are voting into office. So when they show you who they are, believe them. This is the kind of indoctrination hitting our schools, hitting our libraries, hitting our colleges and universities, hitting bookshelves, hitting mainstream media. I mean, I remember when, hell, Hillary Clinton was MAGA. They wanted to deport illegal aliens.
[08:56] So did Obama. So did Bill Clinton. So did a lot of Democrats, just like a decade ago. The administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous. I think we got to have tough conditions. Tell people to come out of the shadows. If they've committed a crime, deport them. No questions asked, they're gone. This is where we are, but this one, this one hits a little closer to home tonight. Darlene Graham had her first debate this week, her debate debut, and somebody threw her the softest of softball questions.
[09:40] Are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security issues for the United States? Her answer, I'm not that informed on national security, she said. And then in case we missed it, she added, national security isn't my thing. That's what she said. Take a look. I'm just going to be honest here. I'm not on national security. I'm not that informed on national security. But I
[10:07] do support the military. My brother was in the Air Force for 33 years, so I will do everything I can to support the military. My dad was in the Army. I'm not a polished politician up here. National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise. But I do support the military. Oh, God. I don't even, I can't, I'm now regretting I'm not running for the US Senate, Jesus. I can't even, this is who everyone's, and tons of people have endorsed from Congress, a woman who doesn't, who says national security isn't her thing when we're literally on the precipice of China invading Taiwan. And we've got billions of dollars of military, military assets sitting in the Indo-Pacific region, Indo-PACOM as they call it. I've been to Taiwan. I've met the president of Taiwan. I've been to Japan. I've been to South Korea. I've been to the DMZ. I've been all over that place.
[11:07] I sit on House Armed Services. And this is who made it into the runoff. National security is not her thing. Darlene, darling, you are running for the United States Senate. National security is not her thing. National security isn't just a thing. It is damn near the only thing. It's the body that funds the military, confirms the generals, votes on war. Saying national security isn't your thing is like applying to be a lifeguard and saying water isn't your, isn't your thing. I got, and it's not a gotcha, it's China, it's Taiwan, it's the South China Sea. It's the one region on earth where American kids, South Carolina boys and girls could actually end up, and your answer was to pass.
[11:50] I got another one for you. To end it, would you be in favor of putting troops on the ground in Iran? I trust President Trump to make that decision and the team of generals that he has around him. I do know this, that, you know, we, that's been going on for 47 years. I feel like Iran is the weakest, weakest it's ever been, but they're still strong. They're still dangerous. So I trust President Trump to make that decision. If he were.
[12:20] No, this is the part that should worry you. This was the same week. She asked, she's asked by a reporter if she'd support President Trump sending American troops on the ground into Iran. And on that one question, she had an answer and it was yes. Let's make sure I've got this right. Taiwan? Question mark, not informed. South China Sea? Not her thing. China? No idea. But a ground war in Iran, absolutely, where does she sign? She doesn't know enough to have an opinion about China, but she knows enough to send your kid to Tehran. That's not a candidate. That's what we call a rubber stamp. You know who else says yes before they hear the question? Every guy who's ever regretted buying a timeshare or getting a tattoo. Let me tell you what yes costs. 21 weeks in, at least 18 Americans dead, 600 wounded, gas over $4. And that's the air war.
[13:21] Ground troops are a different animal. Yeah. Every single person who's worn the uniform knows it. They know the price of war.
[13:30] That's a South Carolina name on a headstone. That's somebody's grave. I will never support sending South Carolina's sons and daughters to die in Tehran while DC politicians play war from the safety of their offices. Washington doesn't need another rubber stamp. It has plenty. Rubber stamps are how we got 20 years in Afghanistan and 20 in Iraq. And I don't remember any of the people who held those stamps at the funerals. And spare me, supporting the president means saying yes to everything. That's not true. That's not support. The people who actually help a president are the ones who tell him the truth before the caskets come home, not after.
[14:16] You don't inherit a Senate seat and inherit the homework that comes with it. There is no on-the-job trust. There is no training. There shouldn't be, never, for Senate. South Carolina, you get one vote next Tuesday. Do you want a senator or do you want a rubber stamp? Because a stamp doesn't ask how many. A stamp doesn't ask how long. And a stamp doesn't go to Dover to meet the plane. No more blank checks. No more yes men. No more endless wars. And national security, well, it's kind of my thing. And honestly, I just can't believe that she's... She's so cool. she's in her runoff. God bless Ralph Norman. You better bring it home, buddy. You better bring it home, brother. Ralph Norman, we are counting on you. We are counting on you, the only tried and true conservative. So in closing, the DSA said yes to Beijing and told its members to stay quiet about the concentration camps.
[15:16] Board of Democrats nominated a yes-man DSA socialist senator. And South Carolina has a runoff with a United States senator that says yes to war before the president even asked her. Yes to anything that he says. No hard questions. No questions at all. Because yes is what you say when you want to keep the endorsements coming and you want the power of a U.S. Senate seat. Yes is how you get invited back. Yes is how you get invited to the cocktail parties. No is how you get remembered. So next Tuesday, South Carolina, I want you to be remembered. You get to be the no. No to the idea that this seat gets handed down like grandma's china and the only qualification is that you never disagree. You don't owe anybody a yes. You owe your kids a senator who will say no when it counts. I've been told no my whole life. No, you can't waitress. No, you can't go to the Citadel. You'll never make it. No, a woman won't make it through the Corps of Cadets. And no, you can't take on the establishment. No, you can't flip a House seat from Democrat to Republican.
[16:18] Turns out no is a pretty good thing. It's a good diet. It keeps you lean. And here's what I've learned from being on the receiving end of it. The people who say no to power are the only reason power ever behaves.
[16:33] Socialists don't want you asking questions. The Senate candidate in Florida can't answer them. And a rubber stamp by design doesn't have a mouth.
[16:45] In Matthew 5, it says let your yes be yes and your no be no. And anything more comes from the evil one. I'll say no for you if I have to. I've had a lifetime of practice. I see you're not following me. Click that button and hit the follow.
