But my 46 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: thing is marriage, family life counseling, and I love doing 47 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: that and that's what got me involved in a ministry 48 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: called Mighty Oaks. Fifteen years ago. We had Chad Robis 49 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: Show Chad and Kathie Robis Show, and we've been helping 50 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 3: veterans with post traumatic stress and just you know, advancing 51 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: the Gospels and means by which to. 52 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: Heal the broken heart. 53 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: And it's been one of the most successful programs in 54 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 3: the United States, to the point where active duty Army, Navy, 55 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: Air Force, Marine Marines are coming through our program.

And so what do you think 69 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: led you to think, Okay, I have to take this 70 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: to Congress? Yeah, things I want to change. What were 71 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: the biggest things that you were like, this is what 72 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: I want to work on or was there something that 73 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: jumped out to you. 74 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: So I've been in the Texas House for nine years 75 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: and the thing that really did it for me was 76 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: January twenty twenty four. I'm at Black Walnut here in 77 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: the Woodlands and crunchhawed Congressman and Cheuse holding a town 78 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: hall for elected officials and to give us an update 79 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: on what's going on myself, and Senator Creighton asked him, 80 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: why are you supporting this bi partisan Senate deal that 81 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: allows five thousand people into the country a day? 82 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: And he defended it and said, you. 83 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 3: Guys should be grateful Texas can't close its own border. 84 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 3: You know, you should be grateful that you're that we're 85 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 3: doing this. You can't do anything to stop and close 86 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 3: your border, to which we both said we have closed 87 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: the border. What we need out of you is to 88 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: be an advocate on behalf of Texas, not the swampy 89 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: Democrats that want to keep the border open to say 90 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 3: and to say that you're going to actually close it 91 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: at five thousand people's ridiculous. It's not like there's somebody 92 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: there like at a concert with a clicker, right, that's 93 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: counting the number of people coming across the border. But 94 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 3: the most egregious thing is that they're saying, the Democrats 95 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 3: are saying, we'll give you a partial closure if you 96 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 3: in turn give us billions of dollars free for Ukraine 97 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: and Taiwan and Israel. Look, I love Israel, but don't 98 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: hold my border hostage and return for giving billions of 99 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: dollars to foreign aid money that we don't even have. 100 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 3: I mean, this is just absolutely ridiculous. And so we 101 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 3: criticized it. He then and so tuned to the President, 102 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: and the President said, this is not an immigration deal, 103 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 3: it's an invasion deal. At that you know, that tipped 104 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 3: in Crunchaw off to the point where he said, it's 105 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 3: the highest stupidity to criticize this deal. Saying that of 106 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: President Trump, I was like, I'm done. I'm done sitting 107 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: on the sidelines. You know, I'm on the Appropriations Committee, 108 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 3: and it's it's like fifty three percent of the babies 109 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 3: born in Texas or Medicaid births. It's it's killing public education. 110 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 3: Illegal immigration is killing a law enforcement and criminal justice. 111 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: The amount of money that we're spending on we literally 112 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 3: can't spend enough money on it. We need the federal 113 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: government to step up and close the border. Whether President 114 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 3: Trump is in control or not. We've got to have 115 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: people that go to DC and fight for Texas. 116 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: Definitely, yes, I mean the amount that is spent on 117 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: the Medicaid, the healthcare, the schools, all the things because 118 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: of the legal immigrants, it's just awful. So okay, so 119 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: you were you knew that this was something that was 120 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: a clear dividing line between you and your opponent. So 121 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: going back when you think about because maybe you had 122 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: heard of him for a while, but Dian crunchall, he 123 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: kind of became big, you know, like during the SML stuff, 124 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: the stuff that I forget what year that was, when 125 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen twenty you know, a while ago, and so 126 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: he has been there for a while. So were you 127 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: kind of worried about the fact that he was maybe 128 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: a more kind of well known person to go up against, 129 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: or were you pretty confident that because of his record 130 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: and other things that that wouldn't matter, or what was 131 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: your thinking when you were deciding to go into this. 132 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: Well, first off, let me just say this. 133 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: I was one of his biggest fans when Dan decided 134 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 3: to run in twenty eighteen. I didn't didn't know the 135 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 3: whole field, but the one person that I knew in 136 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 3: that thing that the swamp had picked was a guy 137 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 3: that I served alongside in the Texas House and I 138 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 3: just felt like he was nice guy, but a little squishy. 139 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: Dan Crenshaw came along, telling us all the things that 140 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 3: we wanted to hear, that he would be somebody that 141 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,559 Speaker 3: would go to Washington, d c. And and the whole 142 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 3: idea of politics as usual, which is get there, become 143 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: part of the problem and start voting against the wishes 144 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: of your constituents. 145 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: He said he would be anything. 146 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: But that, and that's exactly who he became right away. 147 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 3: I mean, this is a guy, like you just said, 148 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: that was a rising superstar. 149 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: People. 150 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: Within one year of Dan Crenshaw being there, we're saying 151 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: Dan Crenshaw is going to be on the next presidential ticket, 152 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: is the vice president? Right? I mean, this guy, the 153 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 3: sky was the limit for him, but he really sabotaged 154 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 3: his own future with everything from red flag laws to 155 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: his you know, failure to stand up and speak out 156 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 3: against insider trading, to sending billions of dollars to Ukraine. 157 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 3: It's money that we don't have. I mean, we were 158 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: literally we're literally not just spending our future and our 159 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: children's future, but we're indebting now our grandchildren's future with 160 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 3: the amount of money that we're sending overseas. 161 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 2: We don't have it. 162 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 3: And so when I got into this thing, we did 163 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: some polling up front, and we found out that, well, 164 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 3: Dan Crenshaw does have ninety eight percent name id, his 165 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 3: favorability ratings were in the tank before we spent dollar one. 166 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, well that's a good place to start. And 167 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: do you think he was I guess like that from 168 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: the beginning, or do you think overtime the record changed 169 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: he was influenced by the swamp more or do you 170 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: think you know, maybe that always was a problem. 171 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 3: You know, I think the vast majority of people that 172 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 3: they go to d C don't really know who they 173 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 3: are and they get to d C. It's something Rick 174 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: Warren used to say, and I'm sure he's probably not 175 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 3: the very first one to say it. He said, you 176 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: really don't know what tea tastes like until you drop 177 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 3: it in hot water, and the very hottest water that 178 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 3: there is in life, some of the hottest water you'll 179 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 3: ever find is in both Austin, Texas and Washington, d C. 180 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 3: Where you've got an opportunity to define or to state 181 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 3: who you really are as a man or a woman, 182 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 3: and what your character consists of, whether or not you're 183 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 3: going to be true to your character and your true north, 184 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 3: and it really brings out who you are. 185 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: Just right away. 186 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. Wow. Okay, So then diving into the race, 187 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: you saw these unfavorables, What was your plan because I 188 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: don't know how many months it was until you got 189 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: into the race, and when the race took place, I 190 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: imagine at least a few months that you were probably 191 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: running an intense campaign. And so by the end of it, 192 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: did you have a pretty good sense that you knew 193 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: you were going to win and you saw because you 194 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: didn't win by a lot, or were you thinking Okay, 195 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not totally sure because it's still you know, 196 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: hard to beat an incumbent. So what were you thinking, 197 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: like the night before the election. 198 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, well we knew first off, he had a pretty 199 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 3: strong idea that we were going to get into the race. 200 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: And you've been around this a long time. 201 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 3: You understand how this game's played, and you know that 202 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 3: when you're the incumbent, the last thing that you do 203 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: is punched down. You'd never ever ever give your opponent 204 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 3: any name recognition by acknowledging their existence. Right, Yet, within 205 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 3: one or two days of me getting into the race, 206 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 3: he was already on social media starting to say negative 207 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: things about me, I mean, out loud. It was crazy, right, 208 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,359 Speaker 3: We're like, hey, you know, if Dan Crenchause and't criticizing 209 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 3: us within a month of getting into this race, we 210 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 3: have really foul. 211 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: Well, he was doing it within just a matter of days. 212 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: And from that point forward, moving on, we started noticing, hey, 213 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 3: no one is endorsing him. 214 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 2: I mean, no one is endorsing. 215 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: Him, not a single member of the Texas congressional delegation. 216 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 3: In fact, it went all the way through the whole 217 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 3: race with only one endorsement out of four hundred and 218 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: thirty five members of Congress, and the President never got 219 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 3: on board with him either. And so obviously people were 220 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 3: polling and knew that that Dan was in deep trouble 221 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: right from the get go. We polled, we pulled in 222 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 3: May of last year, and it showed us that he 223 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: didn't have a pathway to victory. But we also know 224 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: that some independent groups were pulling because they were talking 225 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: about it publicly, that he was in real trouble as well. 226 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 3: But the ultimate giveaway was two weeks before election day, 227 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 3: the Crenshaw campaign started running a text message out there mentioning, 228 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: don't vote. 229 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: For one of the guys in our race to the guy. 230 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: It was a guy that came in fourth place. 231 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 3: Don't vote for this guy because he's dangerously conservative. He's 232 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 3: way too conservative. He's a nut job conservative. He's the 233 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 3: most conservative member or conservative person for congressional district too. 234 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 3: In other words, they're trying to take votes away from 235 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 3: me and to go to this guy because they knew 236 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 3: already that Dan was going to lose. Now they're trying 237 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 3: to keep it from going into a run. You know, 238 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 3: they're trying to enable it so it would go into 239 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 3: a runoff. 240 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: It didn't work. 241 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 3: That guy only got like one point eight percent of 242 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 3: the vote. The guy that came in third place or 243 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: fourth place ended up getting one point six. 244 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 2: Percent of the vote. 245 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, so we knew that they're in trouble when they 246 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 3: when they, you know, move to tactics, silly tactics like that. 247 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: Wow, that is very silly. So okay, election night, you win. 248 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: Were you surprised by how much you won by? I 249 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: guess you're saying you did know that you were going 250 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: to win. And I still think it was a very 251 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: strong showing. 252 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 3: So Ted Cruz once said, run scared to run on 253 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 3: a post right, And I think most people try and 254 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 3: take that tack. Even when the polling tells you you're 255 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 3: going to win, you never let it into your heart 256 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 3: or your mind. You don't share any of it with 257 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 3: your team. You know, you just continue to be focused 258 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 3: on the goal line up ahead, and that includes victory. 259 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 3: And so Palling all the way back to May said 260 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 3: that if we got our message out in this our case, 261 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 3: we didn't have to get our message out. We just 262 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 3: stayed out of Dan Crenchaw's way. Every time he opened 263 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 3: up his mouth, every time he picked a new fight 264 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 3: with somebody. You know, it just benefited us, and it 265 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 3: told us that we're going to win with fifty eight 266 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 3: percent of the vote back in May of last year, 267 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 3: and we won with fifty seven percent of the vote. 268 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: Wow. 269 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 3: So it wasn't a surprise, but it was just this 270 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 3: welcome relief that it was finally done. 271 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: Yes, I'm sure you needed some a very needed break 272 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: for you know, it take a week off to chill. 273 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: So are you looking forward to I mean, you have 274 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: the race in November, but are you looking forward to 275 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: getting up to Washington to work on these issues? 276 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 2: I am. 277 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to working with branded and some of 278 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: the different members up there that are going to, you know, 279 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 3: give me some direction and guidance. I mean, I've got 280 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 3: nine years as a state legislator. But you know, it's 281 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 3: a completely different game in Washington. The bills are written differently. 282 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: You don't work with actual bills, you act with. You 283 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: work with resolutions, the decorum, the rules on the floor 284 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 3: are different. There's there's a lot to learn. 285 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: Well, you're going to do such an incredible job. It's 286 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: very exciting. So congratulations, Steve. I am so excited for 287 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: you to get up there and have a lot of 288 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: work to. 289 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 3: Get done, so yes, thanks great to be with you today, 290 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: God bless. 291 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: In November of twenty twenty five, former January sixth third 292 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: Jake Ling went to a Dearborn City council meeting to 293 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: speak against cultural Islamization of America and our institutions. Speaking 294 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: largely extemporaneously, Lang said something rather odd, even crude. He said, 295 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: you marry four or five women, you outbreed us. You 296 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: make all our country it look like the places that 297 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: you've fled. Critiques of his not ready for primetime tone 298 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: and word choices side Lang's concerns about Islamization, saying the 299 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: quiet part out loud when he says Muslims in America 300 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: outbreed us. According to one Pew estimate, Muslim families in 301 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: America on average have about two point five children for women, 302 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: with foreign born Muslims having two point six children and 303 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: American born Muslims having two point two. These numbers are 304 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: above the current American national average of one point six 305 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: children per women. If we assume that birth rates among 306 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: both American Muslims and American non Muslims remain constant for 307 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: the next forty years, that will result in a forty 308 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: percent increase in the number of US Muslims and a 309 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: thirty percent decrease in American non Muslims. Before you panic, 310 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: please note that the birth rate of Muslims globally has 311 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: itself been falling. In Muslim majority countries, the rates were 312 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: once to round four point five to five point three, 313 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: but they've recently plummeted to two point six. So it's 314 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: very likely those birth rates will not remain at a 315 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: flat one point six for non Muslim Americans and a 316 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: flat two point five for Muslim Americans. But who knows. 317 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: Protecting the future is extremely difficult. That said, we can 318 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: agree that the current disparity in birth rates will result 319 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: in an increase in Muslims and a decrease in Christians. 320 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: I am very concerned about this. I'm actually not that 321 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: concerned about how many children and Muslims are having. I 322 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: am more concerned about how many children Christians are having. 323 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: The fact that places like Hamtrak or Dearborn in Michigan, 324 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,479 Speaker 1: Minneapolis and Minnesota, Patterson in New Jersey, and now New 325 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: York City have shifted from majority Christian to majority cities 326 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: are such examples that validate concerns about a cultural shift 327 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: in the United States away from Christianity towards Islam. And yes, 328 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: these changes are being pushed in places where Muslims end 329 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: up representing a large portion of those local populations. So 330 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: there is a numbers game a foot there. And as 331 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: much as we like to advocate for laws banning the 332 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: implementation of Sharia courts in our cities, states, and country, 333 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 1: ultimately those laws won't mean anything if their population trends 334 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: hold for another generation, because there will just be so 335 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: many more of them. It is a fact of reality 336 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: that a nation's law informed by the people who live there. 337 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: If you can achieve a majority for any population segment, 338 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: those people are empowered, and that is why we see 339 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: that they vote for people like ilhan Omar, for example, 340 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: in their area. So the Grail problem comes down to 341 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: the fact that we imported all of these people in 342 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: the first place. The problem is that we had an 343 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: immigration policy that took in so many small in people 344 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: smalling refugees for example, who have not been contributing to 345 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: the society, and as a result, they're on welfare, having 346 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,479 Speaker 1: lots of kids, and all of their kids are going 347 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: to be outnumbering all of the local Americans sure, we 348 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: can make a law against the implementation of Sharia. But 349 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: if in twenty to forty years Muslims are the majority, 350 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: they've taken over our briefing, they've taken over our cities, 351 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: what's to prevent then from putting in sharia law? I 352 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: mean our constitution, but it's up to the majority of 353 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: people to protect the constitution. That is simply the reality. 354 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: And this is in essence the concept of replacement. But 355 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: here's the kicker. It's not just religiously zealous Middle Easterners 356 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: who understand this dynamic, or even many of them actually 357 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: explicitly say it is their goal to outmember the local population. 358 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: We've seen this in Europe, where a lot of Muslim 359 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: leaders talk about how they will replace the local people. 360 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: But from Central and South America to nations across the world, 361 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: to openly hostile countries like China, many are exploiting America's 362 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: birthright citizenship laws, with either the unintentional or intentional outcome 363 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: being that those nations use their own people to exert 364 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: increasingly level, increasing levels of influence on our country. We've 365 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: seen some pretty startling examples like ilhan Omar speech where 366 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: she urges her fellow Somalians in Minnesota not to be 367 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: concerned over the attitude of the US towards the conflict 368 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: between Egypt and Somalia, because she was working to ensure 369 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: that the US wouldn't do any to harm their country. 370 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: People in the right claimed that because she called herself 371 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: and her constituent Somalians and that she was explicitly working 372 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: on Somalia's behalf, she basically added herself as Somalia first. 373 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: There have been numerous retranslations of her speech and a 374 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: number of MSM pieces, including Politifactor of course, arguing that 375 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: conservatives simply didn't understand her words and we're taking her 376 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: out of context. The Minnesota Star Tribune published just one 377 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: such example. According to their own translation, Omar said, quote, 378 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: my answer was the US government will do what we 379 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: tell the US government to do. We, as Somali's should 380 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: have that confidence in ourselves. We live in this country, 381 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: we pay taxes in this country. It's a country where 382 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: one of your own sits in Congress. As long as 383 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: I'm in Congress, no one will take Somalia's c and 384 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: the United States will not support other people to rob us. 385 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: Rest assured Minnesotans, the woman you sent to Congress as 386 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: aware of you and has the same interest as you. Okay, 387 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,239 Speaker 1: So she refers to herself and her constituents as Somali's. 388 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: She describes herself as one of your own, while addressing 389 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,239 Speaker 1: a room full of Somalians and speaking in Somali, and 390 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: then she says she's going to work to ensure that 391 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: quote no one will take Somali's se My question to 392 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: Omar is to ask what Somalia's sea has to do 393 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: with whatever is going on in Somalia or anywhere else 394 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: in the world. Yes, Somalians who are citizens can vote, 395 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that they have sole control over 396 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: US state policy. Elant Omar is non Secretary of State. 397 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: She's been a very vocal critic of the Iran strikes, 398 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: going so far as to call them illegal unjustified. These 399 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: views correlate quite well with the official stance of the 400 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: government of Somalia, which condemned the strikes, though in less 401 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: inflammatory language than el Omar. Even so, clearly the Minnesota 402 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: Somali community is not the guiding force behind US far policy. 403 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,239 Speaker 1: Is really not my point here. My point is that 404 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: Omar's own speech shows that subjecting our nation's international relations 405 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: to the whims of Minnesota Somali's is both desirable and 406 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: an achievable objective. How immigration and babies, that's the method. 407 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: We already know the objective. Look, folks, this isn't a conspiracy, 408 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: nor is it some kind of savage take. The point 409 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: is that there is a whole edifice of laws and 410 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: codes that open our country up to such exploitation, and 411 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: most Americans are not even aware of this. For example, 412 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: most people have heard of the expression anchor baby, and 413 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: many have also heard of the concept of birth tourism 414 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: or people come here on a tourist viza, literally to 415 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: give birth so that their child is an American citizen. 416 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: The concept points to different ways in which non Americans 417 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: or even illegal immigrants can gain citizenship into our country. 418 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: Anchor baby's refers to having a child here in the 419 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: States or marrying and having a child with an American 420 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: then through chain migration, that one child who was a 421 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: citizen because their parent did this is a citizen by 422 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: writer being born here. But they can bring basically unlimited people. 423 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: They can bring their parents, they can bring grandparents, and 424 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: then that person brings people and so this can invoke 425 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: just an endless chain of people. Birth tourism is even 426 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: bolder for people who are in the late stage of 427 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: pregnancy come to the United States with the explicit intention 428 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: of giving birth here, which, like I said, grants default 429 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: US citizenship even if that infant is taken away right 430 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: back to their home country. We actually see this happening 431 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: with the CCP China, where they will raise these kids 432 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: back in China. But because of this were given American citizenship. 433 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: They may not even ever speak English, they may never 434 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 1: even live in America, they may have nothing to do 435 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: with American culture in any way, but are an American 436 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: citizen that could be hostile as an adult later on. 437 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: And the Latters is a research fellow with the Heritage 438 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: Foundation specializing in family policy. She wrote a piece published 439 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: in Verse Things in December where she points out that 440 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: there is yet another version of this scam that involves circacy, 441 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: or the practice of paying someone else to carry in 442 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: birth your own child. And apparently the United States is 443 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: only one of two countries and the entire planet that 444 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: grant citizenship to those children. Also, according to Waters, not 445 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: only does the United States lack any federal law governing 446 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: domestic or international servicey but recent reporting suggests the industry 447 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: is being scaled in ways that defy even its own justifications. 448 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: An unsettling Wall Street Journal investigation found that a growing 449 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: number ultra wealthy Chinese nationals are using American circuits to 450 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: have as many children as possible, sometimes dozens at a time, 451 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: and in extreme cases more than one hundred. Yes, this 452 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: is like a factory. The motivations vary, some as a 453 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: way to secure errors or built dynasties amid China's collapsing 454 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: birth rate. Others openly described plans to marry daughters strategically 455 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: consolidate wealth, rage, large cohorts of children groomed for leaderships 456 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: in business and technology, and a striking reversal of the 457 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: male preference that once defined at China's one child policy. 458 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: Sementary and intended parents now deliberately select for girls, citing 459 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: industries they believe increasingly favor female leadership in the workplace. Now, 460 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. This is crazy, This can't 461 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: be correct, as must be an exaggeration, This must be 462 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: something really weird. While would you be surprised to learn 463 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: that number as actually a matter of legal record in 464 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: the US, The Wall Street Journal illustrated this phenomenon through 465 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: the case of Shu Bo, a reclusive Chinese video game 466 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: billionaire who has become a symbol of sergace's excesses. Chu, 467 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: who lives in China, sought legal recognition as the parent 468 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: of multiple children born through America circuits in twenty twenty three. 469 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: As the Journal reports, a California judge denied his request, 470 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: an unusual move in a system where parentage orders are 471 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: typically routine, leaving several children in legal limbo. At the time, 472 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: some of the children were being cared for by Nanni's 473 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: Southern California while awaiting documentation to travel abroad. When asked 474 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: about the number of children Shoe Bo had, the Deuy 475 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: network said the three hundred figure was wrong, but confirmed 476 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: his stunning fact after many years of effort through sergacy 477 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: in the US, shoe has only little over one hundred children. Okay, 478 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: one hundreds of three hundred. So let's get this straight. 479 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: Shoe Bo, all by his lonesome, has managed to have 480 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: so many children it would take forty Muslim whis to 481 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: reach the same number of offspring at current birth rates. 482 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: And of course, because this is China we're talking about, 483 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,239 Speaker 1: there is an extra creepy angle to this multiplication of 484 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: hundreds of people. China is, after all, the land of 485 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: commercial organ harvesting, where otherwise healthy people are whisked away 486 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: to an all expense paid black box hospital for aunecessary surgery. 487 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: The lucky ones make it out with enough organs to 488 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: still live well. If you add sergacy to organ harvesting, 489 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: you get things like abducting women for their eggs, so 490 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, completely normal stuff. Waters' rights cases like shoes 491 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: are not occurring in isolation. The New York Times also 492 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: recently published a harrowing account of women from Asia trafficked 493 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: into illegal and abusive sergacy arrangements that often involve forced 494 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: egg retrieval and exploitation so severe that some victims said 495 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: it was worth worse than prostitution because they really had 496 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: no idea what had been done to their bodies. Sex 497 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: worth was su self explanatory, but white pills, injections and 498 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: suppositories could be anything. Together, these stories expose an industry 499 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: that treats both women's bodies and children's lives as commodities 500 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: that can be sold on the inner national market. This 501 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: is creepy and sad and I mean, if you listen 502 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: to this, it's just sickening. Waters gives the anodyne explanation 503 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,479 Speaker 1: for why this is also necessary by quoting an interview 504 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: that happened in NPR quote in the foreseeable future, China 505 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: and the US will be the two strongest countries in 506 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: the world. It will definitely be a win win situation 507 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: for your children in the future if they have both 508 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: these nationalities. Those were the words any Chinese nationals speaking 509 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: to NPR about the rising number of Chinese citizens turning 510 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: to US based sergut mothers to have children. A caseworker 511 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: at a US based service agency tailored to Chinese clients 512 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: added having children in the US will always bring advantages 513 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: because America is a country for immigrants. For these men 514 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: and a growing number of Chinese nationals, the primary benefit 515 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: boils down to one word citizenship. Exploiting America's protocols on 516 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: birth tourizent sergaces treated as a smart move in China, 517 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: a sort of sound hedge against future volatility, the result 518 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: of a sober risk reward assessment to devise a no 519 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: nonsense plan to assure future stability in uncertaintames. So now 520 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: I want to go back to that City Council media 521 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: in Dearborn, Michigan, where Jake Lane coarsely complained that Muslims 522 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: outbreed non Muslims. It occurred to me there is a 523 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: really practical solution to that conundrum, and it's something shockingly 524 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: few people, even conservatives, ever give voice to. In any 525 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: situation where you face a proliferation of arms upon your enemy, 526 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: the rational response to such a perceived threat is to 527 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: respond in kind up your proliferation. If your enemy makes 528 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: a hypersonic missile, you have to one up them. Now, 529 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: I am not saying obviously that we should use service, 530 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: but through a natural means, we should be having more kids, 531 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: and of course we should change our laws to not 532 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: allow them to exploit our country. To do this, where 533 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: do we get the ingenuity, creativity for America's future entrepreneurs 534 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: and so on, Well, from babies, of course, from the 535 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: next generation. Anyone who's concerned about the fate of the 536 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: country and about the fate of America in general, has 537 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: recourse to this tool of multiplication known as marriage and 538 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: the American family. It is a remedy as old as time, 539 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: and I have concluded that one hundred percent of us 540 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: alive here and now do in fact come from a 541 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: long line of babies. So why don't we talk enough 542 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: about this. It's not enough to be concerned or call 543 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: for stricter immigration enforcement, which we have to do to 544 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: change our laws. But it seems that what we really 545 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: need to do is change the culture. If we are 546 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: alarmed by the state of the world today, then we 547 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: need to demonstrate a commitment to do what we can 548 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: in our personal lives to address this issue. I have 549 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: to say that looking at that level from the Chinese 550 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: is something that the CCP they will sloop to know. 551 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: There is no luw that they will not stoop to, 552 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: and so they absolutely have to change the laws. But 553 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: we also have to make sure we are changing our culture. 554 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: It's no mystery where our history books aren't full of 555 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: people who used every excuse in the book to avoid 556 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: having children, like so many do today. We are looking 557 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: at people who went through incredibly difficult times, they had 558 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: many children and so on. So if we look at 559 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: it from our modern perspective today, all of the excuses 560 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: people can use. I know that it is difficult, but 561 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: this is something that is not just necessary but leads 562 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,959 Speaker 1: to human flourishing, and to really just a future that 563 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: is much better for everyone living in it. But hostile 564 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: nations and cultures outmaneuvering us in some of the most 565 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: basic human functions. They are out maneuvering us and putting 566 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: our national security at risk. We know that we cannot 567 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: allow this to continue. Babies are not just important for economy, 568 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: for our national security, or for all these data and numbers. 569 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: They're also good for preserving our families, our religious beliefs, 570 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: and keeping our countries culture together. And that comes from 571 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: committing oneself to marriage, to raising children, living in a 572 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: more committed, happier long life. And this means, you know, 573 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: not dying alone in your apartment eating rawmen with starving cats. 574 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: Babies are quite literally our future. If we want to 575 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: preserve what we have, we need to embrace larger families, 576 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: have family friendly spaces. It is not an option to 577 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: be hostile towards children or a culture that is friendly 578 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: to children anymore. And we can't afford to be the 579 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: lost people on the planet to figure out the simple reality. Well, 580 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: that wraps up today's show. If you enjoyed the show, 581 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: make sure to find me on social media.
