In this YouTube monologue, TJ Walker examines the escalating infighting among prominent conservative figures who once championed Donald Trump—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, Tim Dillon, among others. Walker scrutinizes Trump’s recent Truth Social tirade that attacks these former allies, fact‑checking each claim about their intelligence, financial status, media presence, and political positions. While acknowledging some accurate points (e.g., Alex Jones’ bankruptcy, Carlson’s show cancellation), Walker highlights numerous inaccuracies and exaggerations in Trump’s narrative, especially regarding the pundits’ wealth, influence, and alignment with MAGA. He argues that this internal conflict signals a weakening of the cult‑like structure that has sustained Trump’s base, drawing a historical analogy to cult leadership where loss of deputy leaders precipitates collapse. Walker concludes that the fissures among conservatives could herald the end of the Trump regime. The video ends with a promotional plug for Walker’s Ultimize platform, offering free courses on communication and habit building.
Chapters
Ultimize. The intramural fighting between conservatives and MAGA supporters now is absolutely going crazy, and I want to share with you the specifics, because the specifics are absolutely overwhelming, and I think in a good way, because it shows the potential end of the Trump presidency, because this is, I say, almost not to be believed. If you follow politics closely and what this guy has done for many years, it's kind of in keeping. Typically, Trump is bashing Democrats, centrists, liberals, progressives, the occasional Republican, who strays. It's pretty rare, but we haven't seen anything like this. Well, lately he has been attacked by Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owen, Alex Jones, comedian Tim Dillon. They're all basically saying the same thing, which is, hey, we're crazy, but this guy is too crazy even for us. It's time for him to be impeached or removed or sent to an old folks home. That's not Democrats speaking. That's not MS Now speaking. That's not AOC. This is coming from the very people who all endorsed Trump in the last election and have been some of his biggest cheerleaders. Well, yesterday he fought back, and I want to share with you exactly what he said, because a lot of what Trump said is actually accurate. I'm going to agree with Trump today, probably more so than I have in a long time. But I'm a straight shooter. If he says something accurate, I, as a sane, sensible centrist, will applaud him for that. He says, I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it's wonderful for Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, to have a nuclear weapon. Well, That part is typical Trump, and that is not a lie. None of those people think it's great for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. It's because they all have one thing in common: low IQs. They're stupid people. They know it. Their families know it, and everyone else around knows it too. So I have to give Donald Trump credit, at least partially. There's— it's partially correct answer. I do believe Alex Jones is somebody with a low IQ. I do think he's stupid. I do think his family knows it. And I do think most people know Alex Jones is stupid. Now, as far as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, I don't actually think any of them have low IQ. I don't think they're geniuses, but I don't think they're actually stupid, even though I disagree with most of what they say. Trump continues. This is all posted on his official real Donald Trump signature on Truth Social, his own social media platform. He says, look at their past, look at their record. They don't have what it takes and they never did. They've all been thrown off television, lost their shows, and aren't even invited on TV. Part of that is true because Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly did have shows on major TV networks and they were thrown off essentially. So that part is true. He says they aren't even invited on TV. Well, that's not true. They're all invited on TV all the time because nobody cares about them. That's not true. They all have millions of followers. They're nut jobs. Aha. Again, Donald Trump has stumbled onto the truth. When he says that Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones are nut jobs, I do think that's at least partially correct. Troublemakers, he calls them, and will say anything necessary for some free and cheap publicity. Again, I think he's pretty accurate right there, but let's face it, that is the pot calling the kettle black. Now they think they can get some clicks because they have third-rate podcasts, That's technically not really true. They're all highly, highly rated podcasts and are quite lucrative. Now, Alex Jones has his own financial problems, but Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Tim Dillon, whom I don't believe he mentioned by name but is a part of this mix, all have very highly rated podcasts, lucrative, and they're making tons of cash. 'But nobody's talking about them.' Well, that's not true. Here you have the president of the United States talking about these pundits. So that is typical illogic of Trump. 'And their views are the opposite of MAGA.' Again, not really true. These were the definers of MAGA until very, very recently, or I wouldn't have won the presidential election in a landslide. Well, he didn't do that. That's a lie. MAGA agrees with me and just gave CNN a 100% approval rating of Trump. Not true. Not handing flailing fools— I like that alliteration— Trump, not handing flailing fools like Tucker Carlson who couldn't even finish college. I think that is correct. I would have to double-check that, but Tucker Carlson, by his own admission, was a horrible student, high school and college. Of course, Donald Trump is alleged by his own family members to have paid someone else to take his SAT to transfer into Penn. So again, a bit rich with Trump talking about someone else not being a very good student. He was a broken man when he got fired from Fox. I have no doubt that Tucker Carlson was disappointed when he was fired from Fox, and he's never been the same. Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist. Well, I actually think Trump is on to something there. Tucker Carlson may need a good psychiatrist, or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me that now famous "only Rosie O'Donnell" question, or crazy. So it wasn't a nasty question to ask Trump during a presidential debate why he seems to be so nasty about women. That was a fair question. And back when Megyn Kelly was trying to be an honest journalist instead of just another right-wing hack. So he's bringing that up because it's a constant grievance. He always relives every old grievance again. What I'm excited about, anyone who thinks this man is a menace, not just to America, but to the entire world and to the safety of humanity, This is good news because he's now fighting among his own supporters. That's typically when things end and end in an ugly way, perhaps the way it ended with Joseph Smith. You may want to look that one up. Okay, he continues. Now he's talking about Candace Owens, who legitimately is crazy. He says, crazy Candace Owens. Okay. Trump's on solid ground here because Candace Owens is crazy. He says, Candace Owens, who accuses the highly respected First Lady of France of being a man when she's not. Okay, Trump's on solid ground here. He's absolutely accurate with this statement. He continues and says, will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. The First Lady of France is suing Candace Owens for slander, libel, defamation, whatever the technical term is. You know what I'm talking about. And I do hope she wins. So on this case, Trump and I are on the same side. I do hope that Candace Owens has to do something for the nonsense she's putting out there. And Trump says, according to me, the First Lady of France is far more beautiful than Candace. In fact, it's not even close. I'm not going to weigh in on that one. I'll let others be the judge there. He moves on. Or bankrupt Alex Jones. It is correct. Alex Jones was thrown into bankruptcy because of court findings against him for his lies and despicable activities. He says bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things. Again, Trump is 100% correct here. He's 100% factual. Alex Jones does say some of the dumbest things, including I would argue his endorsement of Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He continues, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attacks on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. Again, Trump, correct, correct, correct, correct. He's absolutely correct that Alex Jones is crazy, says dumb things, lost his fortune, put into bankruptcy, did say horrible things about the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims, said it was all hoax. Clearly wasn't. So again, Trump is accurate here. He is paying attention. As much as he likes to pretend to be a stupid fool, you can tell he is following these things. Closely, and there are times when he's quite accurate when his attacks— these so-called pundits are losers, all caps, and they always will be. Okay, I can't speak to Alex Jones. His finances seem wildly complex, and unless you are his bankruptcy attorney, I don't think anyone really knows. But these other people I mean, Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, Tim Dillon, they're making money hand over fist. They have their own media empires. Maybe they're not cashing in, making billions like Trump family members are, but they're clearly making tens of millions and amassing personal wealth way over $100 million if they're not already there yet. So, it's not really true to say that they are losers and will always be losers. He then goes on to other hobbyhorses. Now, fake news CNN, it's not fake news. The failing New York Times, New York Times is more profitable, has wider reach than it's ever had in its history, and all the other radical left news organizations. Again, that's factually incorrect. Trump says, "If you ever criticize me, you're not objective, you're automatically a part of the left." Well, that's convenient, but nobody really believes that. Organizations are hailing them and giving them positive press for the first time in their life. Well, that's not true. All these people have had a lot of positive press in the past. They are getting a lot of attention because it's a I guess you'd say a dog bites dog story in this case. So it's an interesting, interesting story. They're not MAGA, they're losers. Well, again, these are people who consider themselves a part of MAGA. Their viewers, listeners were a part of MAGA. It is true they haven't influenced most of MAGA against Trump yet, but there are clear-cut divisions. They're just trying to latch on to MAGA. Okay, that part is true. Tucker Carlson denounced Donald Trump when he first ran for office, and when the court proceedings came out regarding the voting machine, you know, slander libel case against Fox, which they lost, it did come out that Tucker Carlson said he hated Donald Trump, essentially thought he was a dangerous demagogue. And then lo and behold, comes in, endorses him and acts like his best friend for 2024. So I do think it's fair when Trump says they're just trying to latch on to MAGA because he does realize these people don't really like him or respect him. They just want to be a part of that audience flow. But that's true, frankly, of Sean Hannity, of Glenn Beck, who in the past has been very, very anti-Donald Trump, but they all do want to suck up to that MAGA audience. So yet President Trump shows that he is an astute follower of these people and their business decisions and how they think. As president, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don't return their calls because I'm too busy on world and country affairs, and after a few times they go nasty, just like Marjorie Traitor Brown. But I no longer care about that stuff. I only care about doing right for our country. Well, a lot to unpack there with that nonsense. Clearly, well, a couple of things. Trump is known for being wildly accessible to journalists and other people. He answers his own cell phone. I mean, Sean Hannity allegedly talks to him, you know, multiple times a week. And Trump is the kind of guy you call up 11 o'clock at night and he'll just chat with you. Now, I have not called him, to be clear, but apparently he loves talking to media people, even ones who have criticized him in the past. So the idea he's too busy running the country, that, that is absolutely nonsense, and the idea that he only cares about doing right for the country is an absurdity. He continues saying MAGA is about winning and strength in not allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons. Well, that's not what anyone in MAGA signed up for. He didn't run on the platform of vote for me and I will remove nuclear weapons in Iran. He said vote for me and I'm going to stay out of wars. So The MAGA message is 100% opposite of what he's doing now. MAGA is about making America great again, and these people have no idea how to do that. You know what? He does have a point there. I don't think any of these conservative commentators do have any idea how to make America great again. But then he says, but I do, because the United States is now the hottest country anywhere in the world. Whatever that is supposed to mean, I'll leave that up to you. Let's tie this all up. This is fantastic news because this is the beginning of the end, I believe, for Trump having this cult-like base. Because every cult leader has to have deputy cult leaders who keep the masses organized. If you go to any big cult rally or something like a cult, something like an est. There's one leader up there, but breakout sessions, you've got other leaders herding people together and making sure they're all following the party line. Trump is losing those gatekeepers of the ideological movement, and that's why I think this could be the beginning of the end for the Trump regime. I'm TJ Walker. Have a great weekend.
