“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” -“The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment,” in God in the Dock
You need to read and study the Declaration of Independence so you will recognize that King George was quite beneficent in comparison to our present governmental minions.
Thank you, Sasha. I always look forward to these interviews. It's great to listen to Carlson conduct his interviews because he allows his guests to talk, without interrupting or arguing with them. Plus, he asks really great questions that challenge his guests to fully describe their opinions and their experiences.
I met him a couple months ago at a small gathering in Iowa. I was able to chat with him a bit, and ask a couple questions after his talk.
He's very, very impressive, but no track record in government, and as we saw with Trump, unless you have a history with knowing how to play that game, they'll eat you alive. Trumps closest advisors all undermined him. All the Generals, Barr, Fauci, Pence. All quietly while he was in office, then publicly afterwards.
I think that happened to Trump because he was unable (or perhaps unwilling) to take the real measure of individuals. Instead, he was (is) drawn to flattery, ego strokers, and yes men (sorry, I don't have a non-sexist synonym). And for all Pence's faults, I don't think he undermined him. Trump believed Pence could interfere in the electoral count, Pence believed he could not. Following one's beliefs and principles is NOT undermining your boss, as long as one explains it to the boss. I think Vivek shows an inner confidence and strength, along with a deep understanding of what he'd be up against.
Pence had agreed to do it and betrayed Trump at the last minute because he was talked out of it by an advisor who was pushing Pence to consider his political future. Pence is a politician who always wears a mask.
As good as anything. I'm old enough to remember that term coming into usage - thinking of the 50's and 60's men in suits conforming at all costs and kissing up to the bosses.
Trump was and is too ignorant of how to do the job to which he was elected unless he is just threatening the swamp to get into its good graces by deceiving his supporters.
You are magnificently right, Vonu, incorrect, but right.
1. Trump was too ignorant after 40 years of the war for energy independence and $100 Bln wasted to make America energy independent in all 2 years
2. Trump was too ignorant after 60 years and 10 Presidents to accomplish another impossible and bring bodies of American soldiers from N Korea. Trump’s predecessors gave N Korea billions and billions, thus financing its nuke program. Too ignorant Trump gave away in return literally NOTHING.
…
n. Trump was too ignorant after 70 years and 12 Presidents to bring Jews and Arabs together, make both Sunni and Shia states recognize Israel AND sign multi-billion dollar’s co-operation agreements.
If only genius Vonu has been the US President during 2016-2020, he would have showed that too ignorant rube Trump how to Make America truly Great!! 😂🤣
Now back to usual BS air stressing 💪🏼 I am sure you’ll find something you know about me for a fact 😂🤣
Not to mention the possible relationship between his sudden wealth being associated with the rise of unsafe and ineffective mRNA vaccines for prevention of infection by a virus whose existence is still in doubt to some.
Say what? Are you saying Trump personally benefited from vaccine sales? I just read that Fauci and Collins received a combined $300M+ from holding the patents, but are you contending that Trump somehow made money off the pandemic?
How such egregious conflict of interest allowed does not surprise me at all. After a book Throw Them All Out, our dishonorable reps not doubled, exponent down ultimate insider trading. 🤷🏻♂️
Trump has no need to personally benefit from anything financially. Nor did I say anything about him having done so, such having been concocted in your monkeymind.
Who else claimed more credit for Operation Warp Speed's supposed success than Trump?
Trump, being a billionaire, has always been more interested in feeding his narcissism than his bank account.
Vivek is a very impressive candidate. A young man of great character, with excellent leadership qualities, who has a strong vision for our country. I am looking forward August 23 to watch him on the RNC Debate Stage. I believe he will stand out among the current field of candidates and will attract many more voters in support. Thanks, Sasha, for all you do.
Vivek is giving too much credit to the *benign* or *parental* disposition of certain people in government or NGOs. They’re corrupt…. liars, thieves, greedy and some cases...murderous.
I totally agree. They don’t see as children. They see us as the enemy and want to be powerful enough to do to any one of us, and anyone who opposes them, what they did to the QAnon Shaman (prison) or to Ashli Babbitt (murder) at the Jan 6 Capitol rally. And this includes republicans like Mitch McConnell and many others who have never had any objection at all to what happened to the rally protestors. Such evil pigs they all are.
Seva, I think in terms of first ‘waking up’ our fellow citizens to government malfeasance, it is better to explain those mis-actions as a parent to child, ‘Father knows best’. This allows our neighbors in denial/fog (like Sasha used to be) and who have been ‘going along’ - to be drawn in to see things from truth (rather than cult/religious) perspective. It’s harder to make a break if told something you’ve always gone along with, is evil. That makes the person think ‘am I evil too?’ Too harsh of a self evaluation to then make a leap. Over time though, yeah, all the things you mention can be see for what they really are, and yes plenty of them are sticking it hard to the deplorables!
I am not even referring to the current, seemingly political or specious prosecutions. The uniparty political class that sees Americans simply as their ticket to the 'BIG lobbying' and NGO gravy train… etc…
Yes for me as well Kennedy/Ramaswamy and serious freedom fighters in the House and Senate to balance and support them. I don’t care about Party. That combo might bring us the 16 years of the constitutional government we need to make a start in turning this massive burning ship around.
But there's no possible way any Republican is ever going to be elected POTUS again.
2020 was the first run-through, but 2016 was the test.
Forget the close result in '20, the idea that the non-campaigning demented liar, fool, and crook could win 81 million votes demonstrates that the Left can tune in election results like I turn up the volume on my stereo.
Well then perhaps 80+ million should give the IRS the Bud Light treatment and not send them any money. They can’t lock up 80 million people. Financial choke hold and wait for the them to tap out. Only then will we gain back the upper hand that elections were intended for us to have.
I very strongly suspect that the Demos, having gained the White House, are never going to walk out of it. They can always claim that they are nobly and heroically saving America from the bad evil White Supremacists. They will do whatever it takes. They would rather do less than more. But they will do whatever it takes.
I'd bet my last money that you're correct. But I don't see any explaining. Look at what they're doing now. It's out in the open and they don't say much of anything -- they just start indicting anybody who let's out a peep. As an ancient sage once said: "When you have somebody covered with a gun -- shoot, don't talk."
Vivek has already said he’s not interested in being Trump’s vp. He also says Trump would be unable to govern because he’s so intensely hated by 30% of the general public. I agree but I’d easily put that number at 40%. For the past 7 years the democrats and their media have demonized Trump to such an extent that many now see him as a monster, another Hitler, evil incarnate, Satan in the flesh. How on God’s earth could someone as hated as that be able to govern? The 2020 Floyd riots would be like a picnic in the park compared to chaos and destruction that would come from another Trump presidency.
I like this guy. And I love how Tucker let's his guests speak. So many interviewers talk over there guests or go on and on and we don't get to hear much from the guest. I think Vivek has a future in politics. No matter what happens with the next election
Vivek reminds me of a young JFK. This needs to be the new guard/face of the Republican Party. The old guard Republicans are globalist war mongers. The new guard is(should be IMO) America First, no policeman of the world, root out & destroy the extended (deep state) entities (e.g. NSA, FBI, DEA, ATF, CIA, etc.)
Tucker seemed fascinated by him. The video clip he showed of the encounter with the “Pansexual” also clearly showed his debating skill. He will mop the floor with the Woke leftists at the msm.
I think Trump saw it too, and now Trump is a bit scared to get on a debate stage w/ Vivek. Because I think both Trump & Vivek hold many of the same views. Trump doesn’t want to get to point of having to give Vivek a nickname. If he does, Trump loses.
The problem with a primary debate is that you invariably have to look the other members of your team look bad; and that’s rarely a good look. Trump is not as articulate as Vivek and would probably only compromise his lead by debating. I don’t love it but I can appreciate it.
Yes, you are right on the look bad notion. There’s also the opportunity that more of the public sees Vivek and Trump holding same positions, and that is only bad for Trump, even though it’s good for all of us…My thinking is there are certain candidates who need to drop out, and debate 1 can help that. Candidates like Chris Christie, Mike Pence & Nikki Haley need to go
Vivek makes a lot of sense, and I tend to agree with much of his views on policy and particularly the void that has been created in the American citizenry which has led to its current tribal tyrannies. I fault most of that on the deliberate absence teaching American history and civics in our thoroughly corrupt education system, along with the country’s abandonment of faith in God. Vivek is inspiring, and most assuredly strikes a chord in people who recognize what he’s talking about.
But all that said, the elephant in the room is the machine - the Frankenstein - that has been created over decades that is is in power, and it is not just our near thoroughly corrupt government and politicians. It goes way beyond that.
These are not just corrupt people and entities, they are evil. They are utterly lawless and have no regard whatsoever for what is right, or just or good - just maintaining power. The fact that the road they’ve paved this far leads to such a devastating and destructive end for all of us doesn’t seem to matter to them in the least. They will attempt to crush anyone and anything that gets in their way.
Short of God’s Divine Intervention, I do not see where we go from here that’s gonna be good for us, or the world at large.
This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. She was even given a Pulitzer Prize for this poison in 2020. This is not “black history” though. This is anti-white hate mongering pretending to be history. This is evil and this is what the democrats have become. And these are the same people who are working to put Trump in prison.
“If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October.
“I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument. My method is guilt.”
“Disputed NY Times ‘1619 Project’ Already Shaping Schoolkids Minds on Race.”
Nicole Jones is just a “useful idiot”, (just like the trans movement, and all the other mini-tyrannicals), allowed to spew her irrational falsities as a distraction to the real going’s on of those pulling the strings of power. She and all the others like her, will be dispensed with as quickly as anyone else when they’re usefulness gets tiresome and services are no longer required. She’s gonna have to “get in line” with rest of the peasants for whatever the powers that be deign to handout.
If she gave TWO CENTS for black lives, she'd be in Chicago screaming at the top of her lungs for them to stop the black on black violence and killings every week! Where's BLM ?
She is deeply admired by our ruling class though and her “1619 Project” taught in our schools has poisoned many minds. An evil thing to do. It does seem highly unlikely that we can survive this but hope springs eternal. We will soon see what fate has in store for us.
The only true power we have is the gift of prayer. We need to repent for ourselves and our country having so lost its way, and pray some more in the hopes that He will hear us out of His great Mercy.
Vivek is an exciting candidate. Seems sincere. Will wait till he’s in office to determine whether he means what he says or is doing the Obama #. If I sound skeptical, I was one of those burned with promises of hope and change.
I totally hear you on the “hope and change” BS being trotted out during a political campaign, but I think Vivek has a LOT more depth and content than Obama had. Vivek wrote a book about America, not endless autobiographies about himself before he’d even done anything significant. That should tell us something.
To me, Vivek sounds significantly brighter (intellectually) than any candidate/president in recent memory, and what’s really impressive to me is that he has obviously thought very deeply about America’s place in history and in the world.
Importantly, he recognizes the profound spiritual crisis that is behind so much of our destructive era (everything from woke nihilistic SJW’s cult-like behavior, to the drug/alcohol abuse problems in the US, to the hatred/anger/resentment underlying the identity movement that has swept the nation). He’s right: there is an empty core here (as in most Western nations) that must be filled in a productive way -- otherwise it will be filled with a bottomless pit of anger and destruction.
Religions always claim that “love is stronger than hate”, but it isn’t. Hate consumes everything in its path like lava.
Orwell, I agree with your post very much. But I vehemently disagree with your 2nd to closing statement. For me, Love is stronger than Hate, and it’s not a notion my worldview will ever give up
But Obama was ALL talk, never worked. Vivek has owned company that's created life saving medicine for children and adults. He's CONTRIBUTED while earning his wealth.
Right on again Sasha thank you, on hearing all the questions of why this and why that, makes me recall all the so called conspiracies during my lifetime starting with JFK and the cover-up. So it seems to me apparent that the best way to cover-up a conspiracy is with an official investigation that is RIGGED for the outcome. Why Benghazi, why Afghanistan, why Russia, why Jan. 6th all followed by intense rigged investigations. This guy Vivek has a deep understanding of all the BS "We the people" have been fed for so long, very frustrating for sure, I like him. The question is who can clean up this mess and is it even possible.
Vivek has really harnessed what CS Lewis said:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” -“The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment,” in God in the Dock
I think we are going to get both ("robber barons" and "omnipotent moral busybodies").
We've had both since the ratification of the Constitution co-opted the Articles of Confederation.
Not like this we haven't no we have not. The tyranny of the "oppressed" we are currently facing is unique in US history.
You need to read and study the Declaration of Independence so you will recognize that King George was quite beneficent in comparison to our present governmental minions.
Heh heh...you can have no clue as to how much I have read and studied the Dec of Independence...
I know for a fact that you have no clue.
Thank you, Sasha. I always look forward to these interviews. It's great to listen to Carlson conduct his interviews because he allows his guests to talk, without interrupting or arguing with them. Plus, he asks really great questions that challenge his guests to fully describe their opinions and their experiences.
So Sasha Stone Heads (me included), what do you think of the report that Trump will skip GOP debate and do a Tucker interview instead?
If Trump or Tucker do that, count me out for both, here forward.
Well, MSM reports the Tucker interview of Trump will be pre-taped, and then released on same night as debate. What a flex
I met him a couple months ago at a small gathering in Iowa. I was able to chat with him a bit, and ask a couple questions after his talk.
He's very, very impressive, but no track record in government, and as we saw with Trump, unless you have a history with knowing how to play that game, they'll eat you alive. Trumps closest advisors all undermined him. All the Generals, Barr, Fauci, Pence. All quietly while he was in office, then publicly afterwards.
But the alternative is someone they own…
I think that happened to Trump because he was unable (or perhaps unwilling) to take the real measure of individuals. Instead, he was (is) drawn to flattery, ego strokers, and yes men (sorry, I don't have a non-sexist synonym). And for all Pence's faults, I don't think he undermined him.

Pence had agreed to do it and betrayed Trump at the last minute because he was talked out of it by an advisor who was pushing Pence to consider his political future. Pence is a politician who always wears a mask.
How do you know this??
Yes people?
As good as anything. I'm old enough to remember that term coming into usage - thinking of the 50's and 60's men in suits conforming at all costs and kissing up to the bosses.
Yeah. Having the right ideas is only the first step, and not the hardest one.
Trump was and is too ignorant of how to do the job to which he was elected unless he is just threatening the swamp to get into its good graces by deceiving his supporters.
You are magnificently right, Vonu, incorrect, but right.

If only genius Vonu has been the US President during 2016-2020, he would have showed that too ignorant rube Trump how to Make America truly Great!! 😂🤣
Now back to usual BS air stressing 💪🏼 I am sure you’ll find something you know about me for a fact 😂🤣
You let your drugs do your thinking?
As I stated, I expected nothing less but this kind of brilliance from you, Vonu. I stand by my opinion
If you didn't, it would fall over.
You are talking about my assertion about your kind of brilliance, right? 🤔😁
Not to mention the possible relationship between his sudden wealth being associated with the rise of unsafe and ineffective mRNA vaccines for prevention of infection by a virus whose existence is still in doubt to some.
Say what? Are you saying Trump personally benefited from vaccine sales? I just read that Fauci and Collins received a combined $300M+ from holding the patents, but are you contending that Trump somehow made money off the pandemic?

The he in my comment was the Indian, not the billionaire.
Substack has always been better at scrambling threads than you appear to be at parsing them.

Trump is reportedly considering not joining the debate and doing a Tucker interview instead. Hope that is fake news as it would be poor look for both
Vivek is giving too much credit to the *benign* or *parental* disposition of certain people in government or NGOs. They’re corrupt…. liars, thieves, greedy and some cases...murderous.
I totally agree. They don’t see as children.

Our ruling class goes way beyond the politicians and contains many with various motives from greed to Woke fanaticism.
I really like him. I’d feel better about a Trump win for many reasons if Vivek were his running mate.
Vivek and RFK Jr would be a dream ticket but I'd take either of them with Trump.
Given and RFK Jr is a dream ticket.
Yes for me as well Kennedy/Ramaswamy and serious freedom fighters in the House and Senate to balance and support them. I don’t care about Party. That combo might bring us the 16 years of the constitutional government we need to make a start in turning this massive burning ship around.
Yes, yes, yes.
Obviously, my autocorrect in action. Vivek!!!
Yep, a perfect Veep for Trump.
But there's no possible way any Republican is ever going to be elected POTUS again.
2020 was the first run-through, but 2016 was the test.

Budweiser can't send armed agents to take your money like the gummint can.
I very strongly suspect that the Demos, having gained the White House, are never going to walk out of it.

As an ancient sage once said: "When you have somebody covered with a gun -- shoot, don't talk."
My guess is that they will try to maximize "plausible deniability" in 2024. After that, they will not bother.
Vivek has already said he’s not interested in being Trump’s vp. He also says Trump would be unable to govern because he’s so intensely hated by 30% of the general public.

How on God’s earth could someone as hated as that be able to govern? The 2020 Floyd riots would be like a picnic in the park compared to chaos and destruction that would come from another Trump presidency.
Absolutely agree!
I love being talked to like an adult and treated with respect by Vivek speaking so clearly and truthfully.
I like this guy. And I love how Tucker let's his guests speak. So many interviewers talk over there guests or go on and on and we don't get to hear much from the guest. I think Vivek has a future in politics. No matter what happens with the next election
Vivek all the way 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I miss the monologs too! I find interviews comparatively dull.
I like vivek. Haven't liked a politician for a long time. My last one was Paul Tsongas
Vivek reminds me of a young JFK. This needs to be the new guard/face of the Republican Party. The old guard Republicans are globalist war mongers. The new guard is(should be IMO) America First, no policeman of the world, root out & destroy the extended (deep state) entities (e.g. NSA, FBI, DEA, ATF, CIA, etc.)
Vivek came across as very intelligent and sincere.
Tucker seemed fascinated by him. The video clip he showed of the encounter with the “Pansexual” also clearly showed his debating skill. He will mop the floor with the Woke leftists at the msm.
I saw that clip also and was really impressed by Vivek’s ability to be so articulate on the spot. He was very professional in response also.
I think Trump saw it too, and now Trump is a bit scared to get on a debate stage w/ Vivek. Because I think both Trump & Vivek hold many of the same views. Trump doesn’t want to get to point of having to give Vivek a nickname. If he does, Trump loses.

But Obama was ALL talk, never worked. Vivek has owned company that's created life saving medicine for children and adults. He's CONTRIBUTED while earning his wealth.
Right on again Sasha thank you, on hearing all the questions of why this and why that, makes me recall all the so called conspiracies during my lifetime starting with JFK and the cover-up. So it seems to me apparent that the best way to cover-up a conspiracy is with an official investigation that is RIGGED for the outcome. Why Benghazi, why Afghanistan, why Russia, why Jan. 6th all followed by intense rigged investigations. This guy Vivek has a deep understanding of all the BS "We the people" have been fed for so long, very frustrating for sure, I like him. The question is who can clean up this mess and is it even possible.
