 You do for America, you know that remember how Trump made fun of your wife, and you don't become best friends I know but why do you do that you go become best friends with Trump after he makes fun of you and your wife? Why do you do that? I understand you don't want to tell you don't see I do love America See you don't you care more about the border between You crane and rush it and you care about the border between Texas and Mexico. Why is that? Why do you care about that we're done? I know but why are you a globalist you're a globalist, but you know You're a globalist You're a globalist that you know that but and that's why you're a coward and a liar and you know that and I know that That's why you're afraid to stand up for when people were freezing and dying you were in cancun, Mexico You remember that you remember when you're at the all-inclusive buffet why people were freezing Oh That was senator Ted Cruz being called out by a member of his own party at the Texas GOP convention now a lot of that was Accurate I mean calling him out for leaving when Texas was literally freezing is something that is necessary to bring up every time You see Ted Cruz, but other elements there were bad for example using the term globalist is an anti-semitic dog whistle So this is an individual presumably who is to the right of Ted Cruz but you have to acknowledge that some of the things some of the The accusations that he's bringing up are just straight-up factual for example when it comes to Ted Cruz being a coward and cucking to Donald Trump Let me remind you who Ted Cruz is But you mess with my wife you mess with my kids that'll do it every time Donald you're a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone. So will you support him as the nominee? He's leading right now you just look at that camera and say he is a coward will you support him as the nominee? Yeah, that's Ted Cruz that's Ted Cruz love it love it so now the reason why so many Mago Republicans are turning on individuals within the Republican Party who they perceive to be establishment is because for decades now The GOP has been cultivating a very far-right base by pandering to extremists and Texas in particular is especially bad And at this convention they adopted an explicitly fascistic anti-LGBTQ platform calling homosexuality abnormal They also approved an anti-democratic measure calling Biden an illegitimately elected president And even if they're not explicitly calling for violence in their platform when you adopt an anti-democratic platform and claim that the president of the United States was illegitimately elected What do you think that primes people to believe it gets them to think That well if we can't actually make our voices heard and affect political change through democratic means We have to do violence And Charlie Kirk just last week claimed that the GOP wasn't going to give power back once they take it And this is an individual who claimed that the election was stolen So when you say that democracy is dead the election was stolen Is it really that big of a surprise when people show up to your event your fans show up to your events? And say well if the election was stolen when are we going to start using the guns and start killing these people? Literally, I mean this is what happened with Charlie Kirk But he hasn't toned down the rhetoric even if he knows this is leading people to at least implicitly accept That violence should be the norm now Ted Cruz what he saw there was Not as bad as what Dan Crenshaw got because Dan Crenshaw was also heckled But something very ominous happened at the end and one of the people who was going after Dan Crenshaw said something that should worry everyone in the GOP And really not just the GOP but worry everyone more broadly speaking because the rhetoric is escalating very quickly Hey Dan, Dan, how are this? Dan, what's better? Ask Ben or Davos? Hey Dan, Dan, how's Davos? Nice mountains there, Dan? You like Klaus Schwab? Hey, is Klaus Schwab your grandpa, Dan? Do you have Thanksgiving dinner at his house, Dan? Hey Dan, does Santa Claus give you presents on Christmas, Dan? What are you doing? Charlie's Barclay move! Dan, Klaus Schwab is literally your daddy Dude, he just sold us out. Why are you defending this guy? You have a right to torture up here and you wouldn't have to beat people. Beat people? I didn't push nobody. That was another tall guy named Alex Guys look up the world economic forum. Dan Crenshaw is a sellout Just because he has our bias name does not make him a good person We vote against Dan. Wake up. Dan is a fraud Dan is a fraud Dan Crenshaw is a world economic forum sellout Dan Crenshaw is a world economic forum young global leader I don't care about pissing you off. You're the reason we're in this situation, ma'am Dan Crenshaw is a fraud Dan Crenshaw sold all of you out. You guys are still voting for him So look, there's nothing wrong with calling out the corruption Of your own party. I mean members of the left within the democratic party call out corporate Democrats all the time, but here you see how quickly the rhetoric escalates to where calling Out Dan Crenshaw comes with the threat of we should hang him for being corrupt and This is going to only get worse because members of the GOP Are getting increasingly violent in their rhetoric. For example, us senate candidate eric gradens put out this ad this morning calling for Rhino hunting and take a look because he's not very subtle in his call for violence against members of his own party I'm eric righton's navy seal and today we're going rhino hunting The rhino feeds on corruption and is marked by the stripes of cowardice Join the maggot crew get a rhino hunting permit. There's no bagging limit No tagging limit and it doesn't expire until we save our country So after pandering to extremists for decades, it's all culminated in this They're no longer just happy and satisfied with this rhetoric that's anti-immigrant and homophobic They want violence now their thirst for violence isn't satiable And now they're turning on members of the GOP Who aren't going to explicitly suggest that violence is necessary and they're going to go out of their way to target republicans Who aren't letting them do violence because again if you claim that the election was stolen and you no longer can affect change politically Through the democratic process then the logical conclusion is violence is necessary now And there they are in that ad hunting for rhinos as you saw it and this is the GOP's doing now understand that like they're claiming to care about corruption here But yet they don't care specifically about how trump drains his base of resources Personally profited off of the presidency But the reason why trump gets a pass for his corruption is because he will explicitly suggest that violence is necessary And either not condemn violence when it happens or encourage it to happen He's the individual who incited the january 6th insurrection So that's why they give trump a pass because trump is going to allow them to do what they've been wanting to do for quite some time now Now eric's wall will have the right take on this He says let's place the blame for this violent ad where it belongs at the doorsteps of kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell They failed to confront and condemn the magoradicals of their party now It's out of control and threatens everyone's freedom and i have a lot of disagreements with eric's wall well But he's correct here and it's necessary for democrats to call that out, right? Because kevin mccarthy, we now know that internally he was freaking out on january 6th, but yet Publicly he is a trump supporter same thing with ted cruz Same exact thing So what we're seeing currently is the GOP's base become increasingly fascistic While the GOP itself the establishment wing of the republican party wants to remain proto fascist They want to continue using bigoted rhetoric against immigrants and lgbtq plus people But for so long the base has yearned for violence to where that's just no longer acceptable They want to actually take violent action against minority people So when individuals like ted cruz and dav rubin and kandace owens foster hatred against minorities like trans people They don't understand that they are riling up extremists that will inevitably come for them when ted cruz panders to trump's base rather than unequivocally condemning them Well, they end up coming against him. So we're seeing the GOP's base increasingly Get frustrated. They don't want to just not do violence anymore. They are becoming Very very extreme right and the GOP has has fostered this For a very long time now and this is What's happening? This is now the result of them lying in the bed that they've made but as swallow pointed out This is on kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell You know, it doesn't just impact them It now threatens democracy because the GOP's base is explicitly fascistic Most of them are and you have most of the party either being taken over by MAGA chud fascists or pandering to them like kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell do Now that's not to say that mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy aren't fascists themselves But the difference is that they're proto fascist, right? They break democracy and destroy democratic institutions in A nonviolent way whereas the MAGA portion of the GOP base they actually want violence They want to use the guns that they've been accumulating for years and increasingly they can contain themselves And they have to explicitly call for violence against members of their own party that won't let them do violence Or it won't endorse violence So, you know on one hand it's satisfying to watch Individuals like dan cranshaw and ted cruise who have pandered to MAGA chuds Have to deal with you know what they've created have them battle the monster that they themselves Have designed their own little frankenstein so to speak but at the same time It is a worrying sign and you can't just laugh it off because the increasing radicalization and extremism of the GOP's base Genuinely poses a threat to democracy And if it's not contained then democracy can't survive under these circumstances with this level of extremism Do yourself a favor and click the join button on youtube to become a member Because mic's doing a great job getting to watch his videos before everyone else is tremendous Many people are saying this Join today folks.
