As you may know, Tucker Carlson is traveling the country doing live events (you can get tickets here) with big thinkers and shakers in the growing anti-establishment American political movement. Each one deserves a listen and a discussion, because these emerging trends are going to forge American politics for generations.
The new movement doesn’t even have a name yet – it’s really post-MAGA, and some are calling it the Anti-establishment Pirate Ship. I think it may eventually be called the American Restoration Movement (ARM). That’s what I’d call it. Shanahan gave Tucker a MAHA hat, symbolic of the joining of the MAGA and MAHA movements.
In this episode, Tucker interviews live Robert Kennedy Jr.’s running mate for VP, Nicole Shanahan. It turns out her conversion away from the Dem party has been very difficult, but her observations are deep and powerful. Things discussed include:
- Changing your mind: People of depth often change their positions based on grief and God, usually in that order. She has suffered divorce and issues with child bearing.
- Transhumanism: Shanahan gave $1.5M for women’s health research, and was shocked to see that most of it was spent on research for artificial wombs. She discusses how transhumanism, using technology to overcome mortality, is based in a fear of death, and an ultimate fear of meeting “lady Justice.” This same fear, they discuss, is what drove many to demand Covid shutdowns and vaccine mandates in violation of individual liberties, and why those who do not fear death were willing to act freely and independtly.
- Democrats Undermining Democracy: She claims that even though the GOP outraises the DEMs by 4:1 (I doubt it), the GOP doesn’t spend ANY money on undermining third party candidates, but the DEMS spend a lot on that. Hence the end of the campaigns of Bernie and Kennedy Jr.
- On Trump Support: She was clear to say that the reason she supports him is not because she idolizes him at all, but because she wants to alert the good Democrat base that they are being lied to, programmed to hate him, all the while missing what the Dems are really doing behind the scenes. She said the more she saw, the more disgusted she became.
