they have spent $10 million against you.
0:03
Um, so I don't think anyone would
0:05
dispute that. That's the difference. The
0:07
money poured into this race from outside
0:09
of Kentucky is basically pushing you to
0:12
the point of almost losing and you may
0:14
lose. Uh, where'd that money come from?
0:17
Well, um, it didn't come from regular

0:21
people. It's come from billionaires and
0:23
it 95% of it, at least 95% has come from
0:27
the Israeli lobby. So, um, I'll give you
0:30
their proxies. The RJC, which is the
0:33
Republican Jewish Coalition, Apac, the
0:36
American Israel Public Affairs
0:37
Committee, Miriam Adlesen, Paul Singer,
0:40
and John Pollson went together. They
0:42
funded a pack called MAGA Kentucky,
0:44
which is neither MAGA nor Kentucky, but

0:48
>> any of them live. No, who are those
0:49
three people? I they have been u Miriam
0:53
Adlesen is the gambling magnet who's
0:55
ironically makes money from the Chinese
0:57
now gambling and not in Las Vegas. So
1:00
>> she's literally an Israeli.
1:02
>> Yeah. She was born there. Um she's given
1:04
over $200 million to the president. He
1:07
puts her on the stage. He says that
1:09
she's influenced his own policy and
1:11
attitudes toward Israel. And so she's
1:14
trying to buy a congressional seat in
1:16
Kentucky along with the rest of these
1:18
groups that are probably, by the way,
1:19
getting her money as well. And there's
1:22
there's also another interesting faction
1:24
called Christians United for Israel.
1:27
They're really just another wing of Apac
1:29
and RJC that's been used to co-opt
1:33
Christians into supporting their
1:35
position. and their position is more
1:37
war, it's more strife, um it's more
1:41
bombs, it's send more foreign aid. And
1:44
those are the things that I've been
1:45
voting against. So the real reason that
1:49
this race is a serious race and I may
1:52
lose is because a foreign lobby is has
1:55
fully funded to the extent that they've
1:59
never done in any Republican race ever
2:01
before. um my opponent.
2:04
>> It's interesting because you're not I
2:06
don't think of you as an opponent of
2:08
Israel or a hater of Jews, an
2:09
anti-semite, a man with hate in his
2:11
heart or anything. I don't I don't think
2:14
those topics have defined your terms in
2:16
Congress so far, have they?
2:17
>> No, you can't go find even a xenophobic
2:20
tweet or Facebook post from me in my
2:22
entire life. I I'm the least xenophobic.
2:25
Um, you know, I went to MIT, which is a
2:28
real melting pot of of different
2:31
nationalities and races and ethnicities,
2:35
and it was a meritocracy. And that's
2:37
what I'm used to is just, you know, come
2:39
to me with your ideas. I don't care what
2:42
>> color your skin is or who your parents
2:44
were, and um, let's talk about things.
2:47
But it turns out that I've never voted
2:50
for foreign aid. And in fact, I've
2:52
offered
2:52
>> for Israel,
2:53
>> for Israel, for Egypt, for Ukraine,
2:55
>> for anybody,
2:56
>> for anybody. In fact, I've offered
2:58
amendments as soon as I got to Congress
3:00
in 2013, I had an amendment to defund
3:03
the foreign aid to Egypt, which seemed
3:05
like a good idea at the time because
3:07
they were in the middle of a coup. This
3:09
is how ridiculous our foreign aid is. We
3:11
didn't even know who was going to
3:12
control the capital. There were tanks in
3:14
the streets. We didn't know who the
3:16
leader was. and my colleagues insisted
3:19
on sending the billions of dollars to
3:20
Egypt anyway. The question is, who's
3:24
going to cash the check when it gets
3:25
there? So, I've got a complete track
3:28
record of voting against all foreign
3:30
aid. But it turns out there's one lobby
3:35
that's very upset about that and that's
3:36
the Israeli lobby. And so, you're right,
3:39
this is a referendum. It's a referendum.
3:41
The question we're putting to the people
3:43
is are you going to let a foreign
3:45
country or lobbyists for that foreign
3:48
country um buy a seat in Kentucky from
3:52
and and displace the one congressman who
3:54
will tell you what's in the bills who
3:57
will explain his votes. I explain all of
4:00
my votes especially on controversial
4:02
bills on social media to where anybody
4:05
can see.
4:07
So your position is that it's not your
4:09
position as much as it's the fact you're
4:12
willing to disclose what's actually
4:13
happening behind the scenes.
4:15
>> Correct.
4:15
>> So to add evidence to that claim, the
4:19
last time you were on this show was
4:21
almost exactly 2 years ago. It was a
4:24
little later in May. I think you had
4:25
just won your primary 75%. Yes. And so
4:28
you decide to come up here and we have
4:30
this amazing conversation mostly about
4:32
you and your life and the
4:33
self-sufficiency with which you live and
4:35
how you built your house. And it's
4:36
amazing story. We're going to repost
4:38
that video soon cuz I want people to see
4:40
it before the primary. But in the middle
4:43
of that conversation, you said, "Yeah,
4:45
there's this group called Apac and
4:48
here's how they go about corraling
4:49
support in the Congress and they have
4:51
minders that follow you around and I
4:53
just don't hate Israel. I don't support
4:55
foreign aid to anybody and I don't have
4:58
an APC binder. And I remember thinking,
5:01
boy, I've never heard anybody explain
5:03
how this works in the way that you did.
5:06
I felt like that conversation was a
5:08
pivot point in your political life.
5:11
>> It was. And you know what's interesting?
5:13
In the two years that have transpired
5:15
since then, not one of my colleagues has
5:18
said I'm wrong. Right? Did anybody come
5:21
out and say, "Oh, he's full of it. I
5:23
don't have an Apac person that I go to
5:26
dinner with every time they come to DC
5:28
and back in the district. Nobody said
5:30
that. They I mean they all have an Apac
5:33
person. Now, some of them may not, you
5:35
know, know it's their Apac person, but
5:38
they've all got an Apac person. And by
5:40
by the way, I I have a lot of Jewish
5:42
friends, and since that interview, they
5:45
joke that they're they're secretly my
5:47
Apac person, right? When in fact,
5:49
they're not. But that see it wasn't just
5:53
that you voted against Apex priorities
5:56
or some of them anyway which you did
5:59
because there are people who have done
6:00
that before but you described and you
6:04
opened to public view the process. You
6:06
pulled the curtain back.
6:07
>> Correct. And that was the crime.
6:09
>> Right. The crime is transparency. It's
6:11
not obstructionism because the votes
6:14
they're most upset about me for were 420
6:18
to1 or 421 to1 or 410 to five, right?
6:24
Like show me in any of those cases where
6:27
my single vote out of, you know, 435 if
6:30
everybody had been present was
6:32
obstructionist. It wasn't. What happened
6:34
though is people said, "Who's the one
6:36
person that voted against that?" And
6:38
then they go to my social media and then
6:40
they read the bill and they're like,
6:42
"What the hell? Why did my congressman
6:44
vote for that? What's what are the other
6:46
420 smoking?" Right? And so, or what are
6:50
they getting for that vote? Why did they
6:52
take that vote? Why why were they
6:53
intimidated into taking that vote? And
6:56
that's the problem that I'm causing this
6:58
foreign lobby is I'm causing people to
7:00
ask questions for the first time. Who is
7:03
my congressman's Apac person? for
7:05
instance, how much money do they get
7:07
from Apac? Why did they vote for that
7:10
bill that bans passages in the New
7:13
Testament? You know, that infringement
7:15
on the First Amendment.
7:18
So, because you revealed that, you got
7:21
this swarm of big donors
7:26
laying down big money to get you out of
7:28
your seat. And you said basically it
7:30
revolves around three, Paulson, Singer,
7:33
and Aden.
7:36
Have they described why they're doing
7:37
this? Why would a casino magnet or a
7:40
>> hedge fund manager?
7:41
>> Hedge fund manager, private equity guy,
7:43
distressed debt buyer like Paul Singer,
7:46
like why would they care what happens in
7:48
a Republican primary in Kentucky of all
7:51
places? It's it's um to silence me. It's
7:55
so that I shut up. Look, if I lose on
7:58
May 19th, I'll be out of Congress on
8:01
January 3rd of next year, and nobody's
8:04
going to follow my Twitter. Nobody's
8:06
going to go to my Facebook page to see
8:07
what's going on. I won't be invited down
8:10
into the secret skiffs to read the
8:12
secret interpretations of the laws that
8:14
the uh that the executive branch is
8:17
using to spy on you. I'll be gone. The
8:19
the one whistleblower, if you will, in
8:22
Congress will be gone. And let me tell
8:24
you who's on the other side of this,
8:26
who's funding me. I've got, and this is
8:29
miraculous, I think, you know, you
8:30
called it a referendum. I think it may
8:33
be a movement within the MAGA movement
8:36
is what we're seeing because I've got
8:37
over 33,000 donors and the average
8:40
donation is less than 94 bucks. These
8:43
people, they don't have a lot of money
8:45
to give, but they can't be intimidated,
8:47
right, by the White House. They can't
8:49
have their environmental permits pulled
8:51
on a big data center. The the the
8:56
government of Washington DC doesn't have
8:58
that kind of leverage on individual
9:00
normal people. So those are the people
9:02
who are funding me in this race. And if
9:04
you and if you want to be one of them,
9:06
you can go to massmoneybomb.com.
9:08
>> massiemoneybomb.com.
9:10
>> Yeah. because we we've raised almost
9:12
$200,000 in the last two days just by
9:15
going out there and saying, you know,
9:17
help me fight back. Um, we've got to
9:20
have some ads to run against these
9:22
billionaires. So, what do you think the
9:24
the full money breakdown is? And without
9:27
getting boring about it, I don't think
9:28
people understand exactly how these
9:29
campaigns are funded. So, there's you
9:31
can send money to someone running for
9:32
office, but there are limits to how much
9:34
you can send. You can send to something
9:36
called a super PAC, and there are no
9:38
limits at all. So, it's hard to kind of
9:40
figure out, isn't it, exactly how much
9:42
being spent?
9:42
>> Yeah, I think it'll be after the race
9:44
when people finally are able to compile
9:46
the spreadsheets and look at the money.
9:48
A lot of the donors won't be disclosed
9:50
until July, the super PAC donors,
9:53
because they're on a six-month reporting
9:55
cycle, whereas I have to disclose big
9:57
donors every two days now once we get
9:59
inside of a window with the campaign.
10:01
But um you got super PACs on each side
10:04
and there's a super PAC helping me. Not
10:06
as large as the Israeli super PACs,
10:08
which of which there are three. Um but
10:11
there's a super PAC helping me. Now, as
10:13
far as hard dollar campaign money from
10:16
real people, I've raised over $5 million
10:19
this election cycle, which is probably
10:22
more than I've raised in the entire time
10:24
that I've been in Congress.
10:25
>> Really? Oh, yeah. I usually raise a
10:27
couple hundred,000 maybe $400,000
10:30
election cycle. This time I've raised
10:32
over five million. It's because this
10:34
situation is dire. Now the other side
10:37
you might say okay well how much money
10:39
has he raised for his campaign? He's
10:41
raised about one or 1.2 million per
10:44
quarter for two quarters. So he's maybe
10:46
raised $2.5 million at most. But if you
10:49
go look at where did that money come
10:50
from? Uh, I think because of the show I
10:54
did with you two years ago, Apac sort of
10:56
gone in hiding and they're trying to
10:58
secretly funnel money to campaigns. And
11:01
what we've uh realized and deduced is
11:05
that they're funneling money, hard
11:07
dollars, not the super PAC dollars, but
11:09
they're funnel funneling money from
11:10
their donors to his campaign through a
11:14
vendor, a payment vendor called
11:16
Democracy Engine. It was started by one
11:18
of the people who started Act Blue. It's
11:20
not a conservative, if you will.
11:22
>> Act Blue, the Democratic Yep. bundler.
11:24
>> Yeah. So, it's primarily a left-leaning
11:27
payment vendor. I use a payment vendor
11:29
called Anodot. And some people use Win
11:32
Red. Probably you're familiar with that.
11:33
>> I am.
11:34
>> So, when you see something come through
11:36
a a payment vendor called uh Democracy
11:39
Engine, you you particularly $50,000 per
11:44
quarter. So, if somebody's reported
11:47
$50,000 of expenses to Democracy Engine,
11:50
and if the payment vendor, Democracy
11:52
Engine, has been charging 5%. That means
11:55
a million dollars of money came through
11:57
that payment vendor. And we've seen that
11:59
in both of his quarters. So, basically,
12:02
as as far as we can tell, um about a
12:05
million dollars of his 1.2 2 million
12:08
every quarter that you would think may
12:09
have come from grandmas who are digging
12:12
deep in their pockets when they get an
12:14
email from Trump that says give to this
12:16
guy. That's not where his money's coming
12:18
from. It's coming from Apac donors. And
12:20
then
12:21
>> Apac donors were using a Democratic
12:23
fundraising operation to get the money
12:25
to your opponent.
12:26
>> Correct. And by the way, one of these
12:28
super PACs that's aligned against me,
12:29
United Democracy Project, UDP, they are
12:33
a pro-abortion,
12:35
pro-gay rights, um, left, like not just
12:39
left-leaning, like majorly leftist super
12:42
PAC and they are fullon in my race
12:46
funding my opponent against me.
12:49
>> This is insane.
12:51
>> It is insane. I do think it might be a
12:54
couple years from now when AI gets smart
12:56
enough and honest enough in the in the
12:59
competition of AIS that it will tell you
13:02
exactly what happened in this race
13:04
whether whether I win or lose it can go
13:06
back look at the data and and tell you
13:09
well here's what happened a congressman
13:11
from Kentucky was challenged and 95 or
13:15
99% of the money came from an Israeli
13:17
lobby to take him out for merely telling
13:20
the truth. If you think companies like
13:22
Dr. Squatch and Berts Bees are small and
13:25
wholesome, think again. Like so many
13:28
great companies, they've now been bought
13:29
by mega corporations and private equity
13:31
firms who hijack the brands and fill
13:34
them with the same corporate garbage
13:35
that everybody else sells. That's where
13:38
we're excited to partner with a company
13:39
that is doing things differently. The
13:42
Van Man Company. What a cool name. They
13:44
started the tallow trend a few years
13:46
back with their grass-fed tallow
13:47
moisturizers. They've been crushing it
13:49
ever since.
13:51
clean, nearly edible solutions to your
13:54
everyday product needs. Here's the thing
13:56
about tallow. It's the best moisturizer
13:58
on earth because the fatty acids in
14:01
tallow are pretty much identical to the
14:03
oils in your own skin. Your body
14:05
recognizes that. Use it once and you
14:07
feel the difference. Your skin feels
14:08
softer and smoother than anything you've
14:09
gotten from a bottle full of chemicals
14:11
and fillers cuz there's nothing in there
14:14
that's bad for you. You can practically
14:16
eat it. And this stuff actually lasts.
14:18
Talibomb isn't just a moisturizer
14:20
though. It can replace your lotion, your
14:22
night cream, even Neospor and diaper
14:24
balm. It is powerful enough to heal the
14:26
skin, yet safe enough to spread on your
14:28
toast. Not that you should, but you
14:31
could because the ingredients are real.
14:34

14:35
