[00:00:00]and Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Green and a whole bunch of others. They have lost their ever loving minds, but they are battling for the soul of our party and the soul of our country.

[00:00:13]>> The Republican party is now officially in a civil war. And there are a handful of self-appointed outspoken influencers who are pushing anti-semitism on the right, who are going on air and attacking Israel every day, attacking Jews every day, attacking President Trump every day. The single most dangerous one of all of them is Tucker Carlson.

[00:00:42]and Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Green and a whole bunch of others. They have lost their ever loving minds, but they are battling for the soul of our party and the soul of our country.

[00:00:57]And listen, I will say there has been no constituency in America that has been stronger supporters of Israel than evangelical Christians.

[00:01:13]Tucker Carlson has said on his show, there is nobody on planet Earth he hates more than Christian Zionists.

[00:01:24]And he identified in particular me and Mike Huckabe as the two human beings he hates the most.

[00:01:31]You know what? I bear his scorn with pride because I have resolved about a year ago that I am going to do everything I can to fight and defeat this poison and we will not let it destroy our party or our nation.

[00:01:56]And I will tell you there's a concerted effort in particular in the church.

[00:02:02]I believe the Christian church is asleep.

[00:02:06]There are a lot of pastors who love Israel and think everything is just fine.

[00:02:11]And if you're 60 or 70 and 80 and a pastor and you're not online, you're not on social media, you don't see anything happening. I can tell you it is happening in your church. It is happening with teenagers and 20somes and they are being pushed garbage and it is being paid for among others by Qatar and Iran and China. And they know that if they can splinter the church, they will destroy the country.

[00:02:40]And so I am calling on pastors and leaders to stand up. Stand up and preach what the word says. Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed.

[00:02:51]>> These are deeply religious people, but they're coming from two different specific ideologies completely here. Um the the actual argument here is are you for the idea of America first and the idea that American tax dollars should be funding Americans exclusively or are you for the idea of cutting everyone off except for one place? Are you for this or are you for that? That's it. That's where we are. And I'll tell you what, our God doesn't make promises and break them. Our God's promises you can count on forever and ever and ever. And we've got to stand up and speak the truth.

[00:03:37]I truly believe this is an existential crisis.

[00:03:41]And here's why. Anti-semitism is a gateway drug to anti- capitalism and anti-Americanism.

[00:03:51]Look, we can see it right now in New York. The green red alliance where the Marxists and the jihadists in Comrade Mandami, they come together because they hate the same people. And here's the secret. The people they hate is us. The people they hate is America.

[00:04:10]And I don't want to wake up in 5 years and find ourselves in a country where both major political parties are unambiguously anti-Israel and unashamedly anti-semitic. We will not allow that to happen. Not on our watch.

[00:04:33]And I want to say something clearly and unequivocally. Sharia law shall never be allowed in the United States of America.

[00:05:05]Look, truth matters and we've got to speak the truth and speak it from joy.

[00:05:11]Be happy warriors.

[00:05:13]The left is so angry.

[00:05:16]So very angry.

[00:05:19]They stomp their little feet with their little high heels.

[00:05:24]>> Oh Jesus.

[00:05:25]>> And that's just the men.

[00:05:31]>> Hey, valid.

[00:05:34]Valid.

[00:05:40]>> But we we should respond with joy and with love.

[00:05:45]There's a very odd meme online.

[00:05:48]>> Okay. It's a picture of me and it says, "This man ate my son."

[00:05:56]I saw it.

[00:05:58]I retweeted it.

[00:06:01]I said, "He was delicious.

[00:06:10]Joy is a wonderful thing." And let me say the way we win these battles in Iowa and across the country are the men and women who are in this room.

[00:06:23]It is citizens and patriots standing up for who we are as Americans.

[00:06:29]You know, every week I do a a podcast.

[00:06:33]It's called Verdict with Ted Cruz. I do it three days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We have millions of listeners that listen to the podcast.

[00:06:42]I want to ask everyone here to pull out your cell phone.

[00:06:46]Pull out your cell phone and text the word verdict veic to the number 24005.

[00:06:59]Let me give you that to you again.

[00:07:01]24005.

[00:07:05]Text the word verdict.

[00:07:08]What you will get is a link back that will let you subscribe for free to the podcast and three days a week the podcast will download on your phone and you can listen to it. I do this and often I do the podcast at 11:00 at night or midnight or 1 in the morning after a full day in the Senate.

[00:07:27]The reason I put in that time is the entire point of the podcast is to equip you, to give you the information, to give you the tools so that when you are knocking on doors, when you are making phone calls, when you are talking to your coworker, your classmate, when you're talking to your crazy uncle Ernie at Thanksgiving dinner, that you have the tools and information to speak the truth.

[00:07:53]>> Okay, guys, this kind of turned into an ad. Hold on. So what's happening on the right right now are things are starting to kind of consolidate. There's every everyone is already kind of in their corners in terms of the left or right here, but now the right is also now doing kind of the same thing internally here. Now there's going to be a group specifically on the right currently that are going to follow kind of no matter what um Israel if that makes any sense here. Then there's another group kind of within the right also that are saying America first period. Why are we giving money to other places? period. Right?

[00:08:26]These type of things here. And that's just what it's coming down to here. And how you fall on that is basically how you fall on that. I definitely wish that the right would not specifically fracture. Um because if you start to fracture, so instead of being one solid force, you now become two, right? That two is weaker than that one solid force here. The left is pretty much know solidified on their absolute crazy. So what ends up happening here? the right for the most part gets weaker because the two absolute giants are sitting here fighting each other rather than fighting who is who's the perceived enemy or opposition of the right so so any any ideology talking point kind of you know way of life etc starts getting weaker gets more diluted you're trying to win the hearts of minds of the same people that that absolutely are going to side with you guys kind of no matter what here so I'm not sure that's really conducive but I get it here um there are some people who do not want to give money to other people, right?

[00:09:25]Specifically, people that are not paying into our taxes, right? That's just kind of the reality of that argument. Then the other argument is we're going to defend Israel no matter what, regardless of anything. If they need something, we we're going to give it to them, etc., etc., etc. We're going to disregard any other any ally except for them. If that makes any sense here. That's one camp.

[00:09:47]And the other camp is we're America. My tax dollars should not be going to any other people but Americans.

[00:09:54]Guys, we're fragmenting. This is a fragment. So, the right without a doubt needs to come to terms with um the direction that they're going to move forward with. Okay. Um one camp is going to win, period. Right? Because it is what it is here. And if you start going off of the idea of more people, the left already really doesn't care what's going on over there, right? they already perceive anything Israelor oriented to be, you know, terrible, right? That's that's the perception um kind of coming from the left, right? So now if the right is now starting to also do the same thing, let's just go ahead and say 75% of the country now is saying we're done. We don't have any interest. All that needed to happen was a fragmentation in a right to basically split off more people that are now going to be siding with the the left on this argument. So, if you want to maintain what the right was is, right, you're going to have to come to terms with this, right? Like the this issue here, right? But guys, let me know in the comments what you guys think, though. I mean, I do definitely think that this is going to be terrible if this happens here. The fragmentation of the right is not like the smartest thing in the world because the left is not fragmented like that, guys. They all think the same exact thing, right? basically. And if you think differently, you're terrible and and they try to end your existence or they say you're not part of the left.

[00:11:13]That makes any sense here. That's basically it here. They do not they do not deal with people who think differently at all. Not at all. Right?

[00:11:21]And now the new fragmented side of the right is now kind of siding with the left on that one specific issue. So where do we go here, guys? All right.

[00:11:30]Seriously, let me know in the comments what you guys think here. All right. But guys, listen. You guys all have an absolutely amazing day. Enjoy your day thoroughly. If you guys are new here, please like and subscribe.
