Cory Booker Calls for ‘Foot Soldiers’ to Take to the Streets to ‘Stand Up’ Against ‘Darkness’ in Bizarre Rant
April 21, 2026
Democratic Sen. Corey Booker of New Jersey called for “foot soldiers” to defend democracy, citing “darkness” and the need to “redeem the dream of America.”
Booker was speaking Saturday at the Legacy Luncheon in Detroit to the Michigan Democratic Women’s Caucus, and told a story about his time as mayor of Newark, New Jersey, during Hurricane Sandy.
He then shouted, “Ladies and gentlemen, there is a storm in our nation!”
“There is darkness and wind,” he continued. “People are getting hurt! What we need is not from on high. We need foot soldiers of our Democracy who, in times of trial, are willing to stand up!”
Cory Booker screams like a maniac that there is a “STORM” brewing in our nation and Democrat politicians need their “foot soldiers” to fight for democracy
“Will you stand for our democracy?” Booker asked. “Will you stand to get out the vote? Will you stand for our children? Will you stand up for our elders? And will you stand together, unified, strong, be the hope that people need?”
He added, “We are Democrats! It’s time for a new deal! It’s time to redeem the dream of America.”
Booker has always had a flair for the dramatic. In 2018, he was widely ridiculed for how he conducted himself during the questioning of then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
In that case, he referred to himself as “Spartacus,” referencing the climactic moment in the 1960 film of the same name, about a legendary leader of a slave revolt against the ancient Romans.
In that scene, all of the rebellious slaves chose to identify themselves as “Spartacus” to share the blowback from Roman leaders.
“I appreciate the comments from my colleagues. This is about the closest I’ll ever have in my life to an ‘I am Spartacus’ moment,” he said, referring to his phony claim of having violated Senate Committee rules, when he released a set of previously “confidential” White House emails related to Kavanaugh. Officials later revealed that Booker’s office had received permission for him share the documents hours before his dramatic speech.
He was mocked by lawmakers and media personalities alike.
Tucker Carlson Admits He’ll Be “Tormented for a Long Time” for Helping Elect Pres. Donald Trump: “I Want to Say I’m Sorry for Misleading People”
April 21, 2026
Tucker Carlson speaks during an interview with his brother Buckley Carlson, where he expressed regret over supporting President Trump.
Tucker Carlson just went full Never-Trump on his show, sitting down with his brother Buckley Carlson, whom Tucker named his son after, to trash President Donald Trump and the entire MAGA movement.
This comes just days after it was reported that Tucker’s own son, Buckley Carlson, who The Gateway Pundit proudly reported joined the Trump White House in January 2025 as Deputy Press Secretary to Vice President JD Vance, is no longer working in the administration.
Sources close to the situation say the younger Carlson’s departure coincides with escalating tensions over the Trump administration’s decisive action against Iran.
During the interview on The Tucker Carlson Show, the pair unleashed a torrent of attacks on the man they once called a hero.
The two called for the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office.
This is the same Buckley Carlson who helped write Trump’s speeches and defended him for years. Now he’s openly calling for his removal.
WATCH:
BREAKING:
On his podcast today, @TuckerCarlson and his brother Buckley Carlson @buckleycarlson (who Tucker named his son after) called for the 25th Amendment to be used against President Trump @POTUS to remove him from office.
Tucker Carlson also said he regrets helping propel Donald Trump to the presidency, claiming the decision will haunt him for years to come.
TUCKER CARLSON: He can survive. So looking back— because you and I and everyone else who supported him, you wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him. We’re implicated in this for sure. It’s not enough to say, “Well, I changed my mind,” or “Oh, this is bad, I’m out.” It’s like, in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.
So I do think it’s a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. We’ll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be. And I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional. That’s all I’ll say.
But anyway, the question does present itself immediately. Like, what is this? Was this always the plan? You don’t want to be a conspiracy nut, but clearly there were signs of low character. We knew that.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: Yes. But it didn’t—
TUCKER CARLSON: There are tons of people of low character who outperform their character.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: It doesn’t have to be sort of the norm, actually, these days. Right.
TUCKER CARLSON: I’ve outperformed my character a lot. I don’t have especially high character, right? But you try your best. But what was this? Was this always the plan?
BUCKLEY CARLSON: Looking back after the last year and a half, it seems like it kind of was. And it’s easy— Well, you could get really deep about it and say, “What was Butler?” Like, how was it that he— And Ryan Routh. I mean, he was subject to two legitimate assassination attempts. Have we ever gotten to the bottom? I know you’ve talked a lot about this, but have we ever gotten to the bottom?
TUCKER CARLSON: I haven’t talked a lot about it. I don’t know the answer, but I know that those investigations have been stymied.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: Fact. Yeah, stymied from the very top, from people who actually would have the power to get to the bottom and the motive. Yes. Yeah, very much. The enormous amount of money he got from Miriam Adelson now seems suspect. A lot of people at the time, you know, there’s a lot of money in politics. To run for president requires an enormous— I mean, Kathleen Hamilton went through $2 billion in 4 months. Sure, there’s an argument to be made that you get money from those who will give it to you. It’s just the nature of that game.
But it’s still reprehensible, and it’s still a big question mark. Why would someone who has this obvious and demonstrated allegiance to a foreign power give Donald Trump $250 million while he’s running for president? I mean, how is that defensible? It’s really not. If Russia had given a PAC for Trump, if the mayor of Moscow had somehow assembled an enormous amount of money and put it in a 501(c)(3) for Trump’s benefit, would that have been acceptable? Of course it wouldn’t have been.
So what did someone— it comes back to the money. What did they get in return for that amount of investment? And it’s clear. I get it.
TUCKER CARLSON: No, I mean, of course I agree with every word that you’re saying. I just think, given his behavior and his demonstrated disloyalty and viciousness to previous supporters, why didn’t he display the same lack of loyalty to Miriam Adelson? I mean, that’s kind of the question. The only people he’s been loyal to are the neocons and his donors.
So he attacks Islam. Some of us stand up and say, probably shouldn’t be attacking a religion. “Oh, you’re a Muslim, secret Muslim. You love Muslims.” No, I like reverence, and I don’t think you should attack people on the basis of their religion.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: You don’t attack the religion. Yes.
TUCKER CARLSON: And all these evangelicals are like, “Oh, you see, you’re a Muslim.” The next week he attacks Jesus. Wow. Okay, because it’s all connected, right?
BUCKLEY CARLSON: Clearly. Of course. Well beyond money, obviously.

Gunman Opens Fire from Top of Teotihuacán Pyramid in Mexico — One Tourist Killed, Dozens Injured in Shocking Attack
April 21, 2026

A gunman turned one of Mexico’s most iconic historic landmarks into a killing zone Monday, opening fire on terrified tourists from atop the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacán.
The attacker, identified as 27-year-old Julio César Jasso Ramírez, opened fire with a handgun around 11:30 AM, firing more than 20 shots into groups of visitors who had traveled to the ancient site north of Mexico City.
Witnesses reported that he briefly held a group of tourists hostage, ordering them to lie on the ground.
According to local reports, the victims include six Americans, three Colombians, and several other international travelers caught in the crosshairs of the deranged sniper. One Canadian national is dead.
Ramírez died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police recovered a firearm, a knife, and additional ammunition from the site.
U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ronald D. Johnson wrote on X:
“I have followed with deep concern and sadness the shooting that occurred today in Teotihuacán, which resulted in the tragic loss of lives and multiple people injured, including several U.S. citizens. We are ready to support in whatever is required as Mexican authorities continue with the investigation. Our prayers are with the affected individuals and their families.”

“Another group of visitors lay motionless on the pyramid’s platform to avoid being targeted by the shooter, who authorities have not yet identified.
Brenda Lee, of Vancouver, British Columbia, said she was waiting to buy a souvenir when she and others in her group thought they heard firecrackers.
“Before we knew it, someone said, ‘No, that’s gunfire, run,’ and we saw people coming off the top,” she told CTV News, one of Canada’s national television broadcasters.
“There were thousands of people there and there were a lot of gunshots that just kept coming,” Lee said.
The scene quickly turned chaotic as people tried to escape, Lee said.
“And then a fellow jumped,” she said. “It was someone trying to get away, and he dropped to the next level, but he fell on his back, and it was … it just was awful.””
After months of dragging their feet, floating fake “solutions,” and pretending to fight for election integrity, Thune has officially thrown in the towel on President Trump’s signature voter protection bill.
Thune says there may be “other pressing stuff” more important than election integrity, according to Punchbowl.
According to Punchbowl News:
“The Senate will come off of the SAVE America Act this week & may not return to it any time soon, if at all. When they start voting on the ICE/Border Patrol budget resolution, SAVE will no longer be the pending business That means Thune would need to hold another procedural vote to restart floor debate
[…]
“Thune does NOT commit to holding a vote to get back onto the SAVE America Act after the budget resolution & FISA reauthorization are done. (Senate will come off of SAVE this week to pass the budget resolution; would require another vote) “If we don’t have other pressing stuff in front of us that has to get done…then we’ll see about getting that going,” Thune tells.”
News: Thune does NOT commit to holding a vote to get back onto the SAVE America Act after the budget resolution & FISA reauthorization are done.
(Senate will come off of SAVE this week to pass the budget resolution; would require another vote)
The pressure intensified further after Sen. Mike Lee publicly blasted the situation:
“When Americans want one thing (the SAVE America Act) and the Swamp wants another (FISA 702 reauthorization without reforms), the Senate GOP should side with the people — not the Swamp.
So why is this so difficult?”

President Trump called the bill the “SAVE America Act” for a reason because that’s exactly what it does. It saves our country from the chaos of unchecked illegal voting that helped steal elections in the past. With full Republican control of the White House, House, and Senate, there is ZERO excuse for this failure.
Prominent conservative accounts on X are calling for five Republican senators to vote to remove John Thune as Senate Republican Leader over his decision not to bring up the SAVE America Act.
The Anchor Baby Situation Is Even Worse Than You Think — Underscoring The Need To End Birthright Citizenship
April 21, 2026
Credit: rawpixel.com
It is a telltale that no other civilization in the history of the world had anything comparable to the American policy of ‘anchor babies,’ which allow the babies of non-citizens to become American citizens – with all the rights, privileges, and immunities that honorific entails – by dint of birth location alone.
Perhaps if another society, now long gone, did have such a concept, the lack of historical record is testimony to how that type of society inevitably cannibalized itself.
Regrettably, America appears poised to endure a similar fate – unless it obtains the wisdom it needs quickly.
According to a recent study done by the Pew Research Center, a staggering 320,000 babies born in 2023 were to parents who were not in the United States lawfully: in other words, illegal aliens.
While it is true that those existential statistics were reported midway through the Biden administration, at the height of the worst border crisis in American history, where tens of millions of illegals flooded into the nation’s interior, they are indicative of an alarming demographic trend that will sink any society, no matter how tolerant or pluralistic, simply based on the sheer volume of newcomers.
The numbers, since President Trump re-entered office, have stabilized a bit. Of course, border crossings reached historic lows in 2025.
And for the first time in nearly fifty years, America actually registered net-negative migration: more people left the country than entered.
At the same time, the number of non-Hispanic white births actually increased for the first time in years – including in deep-blue states where, in some cases, they were an outright majority of all new births.
These promising trends suggest a country that has regained some control over its demographic situation, which is far worse in sheer cultural diversity, than any Western country found in the Old World. But it is not enough.
Birthright citizenship remains a policy on the books. If and when a Democratic government reclaims power, they will be sure to exploit this egregiously reckless policy to its most extreme degree.
At which point, the demographic situation, now so dire, will have its final nail in the coffin.
The prime impetus behind the Democrats’ strategy, of course, is one party rule. By allowing in swarms of unvetted foreign migrants, and granting them blanket citizenship, they expect in return for that generosity to have a constituency of loyal Democratic voters who will forever keep them in power (a more insidious interpretation is that the Far Left, whose stranglehold of the establishment Democratic Party becomes ever stronger by the year, wants to unleash as much chaos and stochastic terrorism into the United States – motivated by radical ideology, vengeance, and sheer evil).
President Trump, in part, reversed decades-long trends by cutting into Democratic supermajorities of Hispanic voters, who traditionally vote for the Democratic Party in overwhelming numbers.
But with Trump no longer in the picture, it is doubtful that these Republican trends within the Hispanic community will continue.
It is more likely that such trends will relapse to the way things were before President Trump entered the picture, whose inroads in such communities will likely prove anomalous in Republican politics.
To put a fine point on the matter: even when President Trump was on the ballot, Democrats still won the Hispanic voting bloc by significant majorities – enough to keep a lock on their power grab.
And while it is true that between 2016 and 2024, the President increased his share of that voter bloc to remarkable effect, narrowing the Democratic hegemony from 28% to 46%, a near majority, even at its best, it was still a minority constituency for the Republican Party.
In addition, such momentum was driven almost exclusively by Trump himself being atop the ballot.
Thus, a reversion to the mean is likely in order – especially with the President no longer being up for re-election.
And while Hispanics are not the only significant non-White constituency, they tend to vote for Republicans in higher portions than, say, their Chinese or Indian counterparts.
So, the demographic trends are even worse if you discount Hispanic voters, whether legal or illegal, from the mix, portending a crisis that needs to be fixed with a radical course correction.
There are two straightforward solutions to this problem, one that could be corrected by legislation and the other by a court decision.
As it so happens, there are two initiatives currently on the table that would achieve both.
The Save America Act would protect America’s election systems with voter ID, same day voting, paper ballots, and other election integrity measures.
This would have the effect of institutionally safeguarding America’s electoral systems from the blunt of the demographic crisis unleashed by the Biden years.
And it would formalize by legislative fiat a strong prophylactic that would have more than just a transitory impact on the long-term health of the nation.
By fortifying election systems, it gets to the root cause of the problem. Protective measures that prevent illegal aliens and other classes of ineligible voters from exploiting the franchise ensure that American citizens rights are preserved and prioritized, guaranteeing that the integrity of America’s electoral system remains intact.
The second measure, which is an issue currently before the Supreme Court, is ending birthright citizenship.
For the first time in generations, the High Court has an opportunity to undo over a century of damage by clarifying in the law that the Fourteenth Amendment was not intended to unilaterally grant citizenship to the children of illegal aliens.
By construing birthright citizenship in this manner, it will reverse the disastrous policy that has wrought endless confusion in American society.
Birthright citizenship, at least in its modern leftist formulation, has resulted in not only the children of illegals becoming citizens, but the illegals themselves – through such policies as blanket amnesty and the anchor baby programs made mainstream under the Obama administration.
These fatal policies have opened the floodgates for the Trojan Horse of foreign infiltration by any and every means, sowing irremediable discord across American society that has shaken the core of American identity.
Again, to recap the original point, no society – no country – has ever lasted long in a state of such constant flux and confusion.
Without a clearcut definition of citizenship, one based on common culture, language, and other important customs like religious practices and shared history, nations – including great empires like Rome – have proven too volatile to persist.
A house divided simply cannot stand for long. The fact that there is no outlier case in all modern history only proves the rule: cultural homogeneity, enforced through strict border policy and assimilation, is essential for the long-term endurance of the country.
On this matter, the stakes are of utmost urgency because the hour is woefully late. And hence the necessity, more than ever, for sensible policies like the Save America Act and the cessation to birthright citizenship so that America, founded in the mold of Rome, does not also go the way of Rome.
