Tucker Carlson Uncensored: The End of America Doug Macgregor worst idea congress ever had
Tucker Carlson Uncensored: The End of America Doug Macgregor worst idea congress ever had
https://tuckercarlson.com/uncensored-the-end-of-america/
READ THE TRANSCRIPT
Tucker [00:00:00] How did Rome fall? Historians have been debating that question well, moving on 2000 years now, but everyone agrees one of the reasons is pretty obvious. The Roman military, its legions became dominated by non-citizens, who in the end, because they weren't loyal to Rome, turned against Rome's citizens. Hmm. So knowing that, as we do, consider this series of facts: This country has been flooded with tens of millions of illegal aliens, at least 7.2 million. That's the official number that have entered since Joe Biden became president. That number is greater than the population of 32 states. So what do we do with these people? Do we deport them? No, not according to the US Congress. Here's the idea:
Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) [00:00:42] There is no higher honor than serving your country in uniform.
Reporter [00:00:46] And that honor could be extended to migrants under a new bill introduced by Hudson Valley Congressman Pat Ryan. Called the Courage to Serve Act, this bill would offer qualified and vetted migrants an expedited path to citizenship if they serve in the military. According to Ryan, last year, the military services collectively missed recruiting goals by roughly 41,000 recruits, leaving some crucial positions unfilled.
Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) [00:01:12] If there are folks with the courage to raise their right hand, take an oath to protect and defend our Constitution and put their lives on the line for this country, then they sure as hell deserve the opportunity to be citizens in the United States of America.
Tucker [00:01:27] Pat Ryan lecturing on us what it means to be an American as if he would know. But consider this for a second. The military can't meet its recruiting goals. Now who forms the basis of our fighting forces. Well, sorry to say it, but white men always have. So the U.S. military has been attacking white men by name. We're against you, white men. And so it turns out lots of white men don't want to join the military anymore. Who could have predicted that? So there is a problem getting American citizens who were born here to defend their country. Now, in a normal nation, you would pause and ask, what are we doing wrong that young Americans don't want to defend their own country? Maybe we should change and improve. But not in this country, not with this Congress. The idea is let's allow an invasion of the country, not use the military to stop it, and then populate the military with the people who are invading the country and hope for the best. Wow. If this ever does become a police state, if you're ever ordered to obey at the point of a gun, this is the way it's going to happen. Maybe not. Colonel Douglas MacGregor seemed like a man to ask about this. He's a former senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense, the commander of the last tank battle in American history, and the CEO of Our Country, Our Choice. He joins us now. Doug, thanks so much for coming on. Now, I don't want to jump to a lot of conclusions about this, but since you are in addition to all the other things I mentioned, a military historian, assess, if you would, the wisdom of allowing people to invade your country and then handing them automatic weapons.
Douglas Macgregor [00:02:57] You know what? I listened to the comments coming out of the Senate or the House, let alone the White House. I'm sometimes reminded of that famous statement in Vietnam, in order to save the village, we had to destroy it. I get the impression that's the plan in Washington. We have to destroy the country in order to save it. At least I guess from the standpoint of everybody in Washington, whatever happened before they arrived was wrong. And the brave new world must be built in the future on the ruins of the past. And they're doing a pretty good job of trying to make that work. The military is a good example of it. And military institutions take decades to build. They're resilient in most cases because of the human capital that replenishes them on a routine basis. We're having problems recruiting for a very simple reason. People that have been through this over the last 20, 30 years have said, what are we doing? What's the point of being in the military? We go to these places. They look around in Iraq or they look around in Afghanistan and they say, there's nothing here. What am I doing here? Oh, well, you're building democracy. And people burst out laughing. It's nonsense. Of course it's nonsense. How is this defending America? And I think that's a huge part of the problem. If you were to ask 100,000 men, white, black or otherwise, who call themselves Americans, what are you ready to do? They're ready to defend the United States, but they don't see much evidence that we're defending the United States. If anything, we've walked away from that. In favor of what? Defending Ukraine or defending parts of the Middle East? This is not what we signed up for. And I think that's that's a huge issue as well.
Tucker [00:04:38] I wonder, though, what the effect on our domestic politics or domestic life will be. I mean, when you're at West Point, I imagine you saw your job as a newly minted Army officer defending the United States from its enemies abroad. But the DoD is playing, I think, an unprecedented role in the domestic life of our country. You saw it on January 6th. You see it in the censorship efforts being led by DoD. So should we be a little nervous about the idea of arming foreigners, lawbreakers, people who've broken federal law in handing them weapons? Like, why would you be crazy to worry that that might be used against us?
Douglas Macgregor [00:05:18] Well, if you were playing for the Eagles and suddenly you were fired and the manager of the Eagles decided to hire the third string team that works in Dallas, Texas for the Dallas Cowboys. Then you went into the game and were just discovered that the third stringers from the Dallas Cowboys are helping the Dallas Cowboys win. You'd be pretty upset. Well, that's effectively what these people are deciding to do. None of these people are Americans. We know from having interviewed that they have no aspiration to be Americans. What they aspire to is to get into the consumption machine, get the ticket of entry, the free check, the free phone, the free transportation tickets, the free food, the free medical care, the free this, the free that. That's why they're coming. And people say, well, they deserve this. No they don't. They haven't worked for any of it. In the meantime, what do you get? What do Americans get? You know, we we have a force right now that can't defend anything anywhere overseas very successfully. Look at the failed military operations we've had for over 20 years. And look at the border. No one brings it up. No one's even trying. No one seems to care. You know, I think the largest problem is that Washington is this ideological bubble. And everyone decides that anyone who doesn't agree with them, that the world has to be refashioned in some new image that exists only in their minds, and that anybody who disagrees with them is by definition a criminal and has to be treated as such. What better solution than finding people who have no connection to the American people, arming them and then sending them out to oppress us? Sounds like a great solution.
Tucker [00:06:58] I mean, that's a mercenary army by definition.
Douglas Macgregor [00:07:02] Of course. And mercenaries fight for money. They fight for the people that pay them. But there's always a problem with this. And you mentioned that at the outset. You talked about the Roman Empire in the fourth century, the Goths were admitted to the Roman Empire, in part because the Romans were no longer capable of keeping them out. And then they decided, well, we'll use the Goths as soldiers. And essentially they took Gothic armies and put them under Roman command. Eventually the Goths decided, you know, we really ought to be in charge after all. They marched on Rome, defeated the Roman legions, and conquered Rome. And that was the end of the Roman Empire. That's effectively what you're talking about doing, because these people aren't going to answer to an American officer who speaks English, who talks about the country and defending it, defending the Constitution, the Bill of rights. They don't know anything about that. They could care less. So you're talking about the ruination of the entire military establishment. You're starting with the most important institution. And I say this not because of parochial reasons, but because the regular army is the final line of defense inside the United States for the American people and the state. So you're setting the conditions for its total destruction.
Tucker [00:08:18] Thank you for bringing us back to the obvious. And that's exactly right. It's the essential institution in any country, of course. And people who seek political power understand that much better than the rest of us do, I think. But why would someone like Pat Ryan, who I think is a man of low character and low ability, but did serve in the U.S. military. Why would he be so in favor of this?
Douglas Macgregor [00:08:40] He seems to be part of this group in Washington that is intent, on denationalizing us. It goes back to the statement at the beginning. You know, the communists used to joke, they talked about a man who'd been in the gulag, and this man was asked, well, what did you do wrong? Was your crime a political crime? And he said, yes. He said, well, what was it? He said, well, I'm a plumber. I was sent to party headquarters to look at the plumbing system. I came back and reported the whole system was decayed and corrupted and had to be replaced. I was instantly charged with a political crime and sent to the Gulag. Well, that's what we face right now. The entire system is decayed. But from the standpoint of someone like Ryan, denationalize the place, and somehow or another, he thinks he's going to rule in perpetuity. He thinks that he'll never be removed. There will never be accountability for anything that he does because the vast unwashed masses have no sense of identity. They don't know who they are. They have no culture. They have nowhere to call home. They are people without roots that can be herded in whatever direction Ryan and his friends want to move them. I think in the backs of their minds, maybe in the maybe in the frontal lobe, I don't know. That's what they have in mind. That's what they want. They want a nation of mindless consumers, sheep who will simply move wherever they're sent.
Tucker [00:10:07] I wish I could disagree with that assessment. It seems absolutely right. Allowing people who break our laws, who are part of an invasion of our country to have automatic weapons in the military, is so insane that you wouldn't think it would have any chance of becoming law. And yet I sense it does. What do you think the likelihood of this happening is?
Douglas Macgregor [00:10:30] Well, I think people should look at some of the film footage from New York City and other cities in the country where large numbers of illegal migrants have been transported and set down. And these people, in many cases, are effectively rioting. They're committing acts of violence, criminality against the local population. They, of course, are effectively patted on the back, released from custody and sent back out into the population to repeat their behavior. But if you look at some of this film footage and how upset these people are with us because we're feeding them food that they don't don't like, they're complaining. They're not getting what they came for. They want different food. They want different care. They're being put in hotels, five star hotels for $500 a night or more. And that's not good enough. And so they complain and they confront the police. What happens when you arm those people? Do they miraculously transform overnight into stalwart members of the American society and community? I doubt it.
Tucker [00:11:31] I mean, I'll just ask you one more time. Do you think this could happen? I mean, do you think Congress is insane enough to allow this? Are there enough people with common sense or love of country to stop it? What's your guess?
Douglas Macgregor [00:11:45] Well, you're asking the question that we ask every day in our country. Our choice. We think the answer is yes. There are plenty of people to stop it. The problem is Washington is donor occupied. Donor occupied. The donors own the political figure. So what do the donors want? You've heard the expression donors win elections, not voters. Well, if the voter isn't winning the election and the donor is winning it. Are these policies not a function of the people delivering huge quantities of cash to the to the Hill, whether they're part of the pharmaceutical industry, a foreign lobby or a defense lobby or something else? So who are the people in Washington responding to? They're not responding to me. I don't think they're responding to you. And I don't think most Americans feel that they're responsive at all. So the problem is not do we have Americans who care? Of course we do. We have millions of them. We're not alone. But we're not in power. Tucker. That's the problem.
Douglas Macgregor [00:12:53] Sure. Thank you. Tucker.
Tucker [00:12:55] Doug MacGregor, CEO of Our Country, Our Choice.

Abraham Lincoln's Proclamation 97—Appointing a Day of National Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer
A Proclamation
Whereas the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the supreme authority and just government of Almighty God in all the affairs of men and of nations, has by a resolution requested the President to designate and set apart a day for national prayer and humiliation; and
Whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord;
And, insomuch as we know that by His divine law nations, like individuals, are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war which now desolates the land may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people? We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I do by this my proclamation designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th day of April, 1863, as a day of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer. And I do hereby request all the people to abstain on that day from their ordinary secular pursuits, and to unite at their several places of public worship and their respective homes in keeping the day holy to the Lord and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to that solemn occasion.
All this being done in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the divine teachings that the united cry of the nation will be heard on high and answered with blessings no less than the pardon of our national sins and the restoration of our now divided and suffering country to its former happy condition of unity and peace. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this 30th day of March, A. D. 1863, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-seventh.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
By the President:
WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State."

Kid Rock Punched Someone at Bohemian Grove - You know the one that is a conspiracy theory
Oh yes i know that one! Its True? well YEAH aren't THEY ALL!!!
Only Kid Rock.
https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2024/02/22/i-just-went-at-him-kid-rock-says-he-punched-someone-during-a-trip-to-bohemian-grove/
Today, he’s the guest on Joe Rogan the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, and it’s a fascinating three-and-a-half hour conversation that I’m still working my way through.
But one story that immediately jumped out was Kid Rock’s tale about visiting Bohemian Grove, an exclusive men’s club in Monte Rio, California, that has hosted everyone from former Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, to Clint Eastwood and even Mark Twain.
The nature of what goes on there is very secretive, and plenty of people had try to infiltrate it in the past as it’s members only (and their guests) in terms of who can visit. Naturally, many people have long-been curious about it due to how private it is and the rumors about crazy rituals that go on there.
Rogan discussed going down rabbit holes researching things like 9/11, and Bohemian Grove, when Kid Rock told him he’s been there before:
“I went once… it ain’t that cool.”
He recalls sitting out by the fire and how they were surrounded by different campsites that had treehouses, which is more like “glamping” by what he describes seeing as they all had a really nice setup and private chef.
Possibly the funniest part of the story is that he shared one with the Jimmy John’s founder, Jimmy John Liautaud. What a pairing… anywho, as they were all sitting around the fire one evening, Kid Rock recalls that some random person started sh*t talking, and he wasn’t gonna have it:
“I can’t remember, the kid’s talking around this fire and starts popping that sh*t and I just f*ckin’ went at him. Gave him a couple, helped him up, like ‘Hey, we good?’ We weren’t on great terms, but I think we had an understanding.
It was one of those things, you know, and I couldn’t go to the concert that night… I had to sit home like I was in f*ckin’ timeout and I was like f*ck this place.”
Rogan goes onto to say Kid Rock basically shouldn’t have been at fault because the kid he hit wasn’t vetted properly, and shouldn’t have been there in the first place:
“There’s gonna be a certain percentage of people that are just out of their f*ckin minds.”
Amen to that…
Kid Rock also admitted, though:
“For all I remember it could’ve been drink sh*t. It wasn’t the end of the world… it was a little tussle, a little hit the ground, maybe a punch here and there and then it was done.”
He went onto describe some of the talks he witnessed while there, which wasn’t anything like what he expected, thinking he was gonna hear some crazy stuff about aliens and thinks of that nature:
“I’m there one day one, we’re drinking beers, it’s pretty laid back. There’s some cool talks. I remember this dude talking about shooting asteroids out that might hit the earth in so many years, sh*t like that. I’m like, this is cool.
But the first day, it was the first evening, you gather around, whatever the owl by the lake, if I remember correctly, which could be a little hazy… it was a long time ago. I’ve heard about this place, I’m like, this is some real secret ass sh*t. I can’t believe I’m f*ckin here, right.
It’s just a trove of celebrities f*ckin everywhere you turn, it’s just f*cking celebrities. So you go there, I’m thinking we’re gonna hear some sh*t, right, they’re about to introduce the first speaker…
And no offense against this guy, we have very good mutual friends, but they’re like, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, tony Danza.’ And I’m like, ‘What? Come on, man.’ I was like, I came all the way for this secret ass sh*t for, and I love Tony, but come on, man. I was like, they brought Reagan back from the dead, and he’s going to speak or hologram or some sh*t.”
Expecting something much more sinister, he admitted that Tony Danza was a good speaker, and he also met Paul Pelosi (husband of Nancy Pelosi) and Chris Matthews, which had to have been fascinating to witness. To have been a fly on the wall for those conversations…
Kid Rock also told Rogan that it was an unspoken rule that he entertain everyone by the fire, which he obliged to stay in their good graces:
“It was kind of like an unspoken requirement, like, wink, wink. You need to take your guitar over there if you want to be in good graces or be a team player type deal.”
Kind of disappointing that it doesn’t sound like it was all it’s cracked up to be and he didn’t have any wild information to share with the world about the elusive Bohemian Grove club.

The Bohemian Club, an elite invitation-only social club founded in San Francisco in 1872 by a group of male artists, writers, actors, lawyers, and journalists, all of means and interested in arts and culture. Since its founding, the club has expanded to include politicians and affluent businessmen. The club is known especially for its annual summer retreat at what is known as Bohemian Grove in the redwood forest of California’s Sonoma county, an event that continued into the 21st century. Notable members over the years have included Clint Eastwood, Henry Kissinger, Walter Cronkite, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Charles Schwab, Ambrose Bierce, Bret Harte, Mark Twain, and Jack London.
The Bohemian Club was founded by a group that included journalists who wrote for the San Francisco Examiner. The term bohemian was meant to conjure the cultured intellectual urban bohemian, as opposed to the impoverished type. They chose an owl as the club’s totem and gathered regularly to socialize, drink, and put on and enjoy theatrical and musical performances. The club inhabited temporary locations until it established its permanent headquarters in the early 1930s on Taylor Street in downtown San Francisco.
The annual trip to Sonoma began in the summer of 1878. In the 20th century the members’ retreat garnered a reputation for involving highly secretive and cultish rituals, the most well-known of which was the “Cremation of Care,” instituted in 1881—an opening ceremony whose purpose was to make the club members “carefree” from the outset of the retreat. That performance took place in front of the large concrete owl (built 1929) in the centre of the camp at Bohemian Grove.
Over the course of more than a century, the Bohemian Club has grown to a membership of approximately 2,500, including several former United States presidents and high-ranking politicians and military officials. The site for the club’s retreat covers approximately 2,700 acres (1,093 hectares), and it has become increasingly inaccessible, which lends further mystery to the events and their participants. It is thought that the 16-day “encampment” (as it is called) involves, among other things, concerts, theatre, informal lectures (called “Lakeside Talks”), parties, and casual networking and government policy review—all taking place out of the public eye.
In the 21st century the Bohemian Club maintained its reputation for being highly exclusive with a predominantly Caucasian membership composed of the richest and often most politically conservative men in the United States. Journalists have occasionally infiltrated the confines of the encampment and have succeeded in exposing details about club activities, members, and famous guests, and activists have staged numerous protests outside Bohemian Grove, pointing to economic inequality and other social justice issues.

13 Reasons Why BIDEN Is A Dictator, NOT Trump | Glenn TV | Ep 334

The noise from the Left has been nonstop for years about Trump being a dictator. An actual headline in the Washington Post read, “A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending.” But who is the ACTUAL dictator in the 2024 race for the White House? Glenn makes the irrefutable case: fascism is already here under Biden. You may not recognize it because it’s been quietly growing thanks to a sneaky administrative state modeled after Woodrow Wilson's that does not (yet) resemble the brute force of a Hitler or Mussolini dictatorship. “You Will Own Nothing” author and Main Street advocate Carol Roth argues it’s not hyperbolic to call the Biden administration fascist. From COVID mandates, intentionally stoking inflation, killing the gig economy, and weaponizing the U.S dollar to freezing our energy output, Roth says the executive branch is trying to dictate every aspect of our lives down to what stove we use. But she also says we will continue to live under this administrative dictatorship unless the American people start to march on Washington to shame and threaten political power. Congresswoman Victoria Spartz, who represents Indiana’s Fifth Congressional District, was born and raised in Ukraine under the old Soviet Union regime. She tells Glenn about the red flags she’s seeing that remind her of the authoritarianism that crushed her family, “What’s happening in D.C. is Karl Marx 101.” Instead of protecting citizens' rights, we’re taking them away in very clever ways through federal agencies like the EPA and DOJ. “You buy a Bible and a gun in the U.S., you’re labeled a domestic terrorist,” Spartz warns. “The same thing happened in the Soviet Union.”
