TUCKER CARLSON (GUEST) : Those people are Republican voters because they have no option. They vote for the Republican Party. There's no third party, a meaningful one. And so very specifically, they have to demand more from their own representatives or else democracy isn't real. So representative democracy, that wins your will is expressed through the votes of the people you vote for to go to Washington on your behalf.
And that is absolutely not happening. Their priorities are in a different universe from the priorities of their voters. You don't see that on the left. Democratic politicians make some effort to represent their own voters. Republican politicians do not. Mitch McConnell has zero interest in what you think about anything. And that is a that's a structural problem with the party.
And I don't know what it would what the fix is. I think part of the problem is that Republican voters don't like -- donors, don't like Republican voters. They clearly don't. You know, and the biggest donors to the Republican Party think Republican voters are disgusting. And that's that's a huge, huge problem. That's not true on the other side. So I don't know. But, you know, there's kind of nothing you can do about Merrick Garland if you're your average voter. But if you're -- if you're a member of Congress, it's like not even bothering to listen to what you care about. You have a way to replace them. It's called a primary. And I don't know why that never happens. I mean, I really don't understand. I mean, Adam Kinzinger would still be serving in the Congress if he wasn't redistricted out of his seat. And like, what is that? You know, would the majority of Republican voters in his Illinois district on his side? No, but he would have gotten reelected. So there's a problem with our system, and I hope that can be fixed.
