1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Nobody's even talkbacks or Grant's just not back there paying

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: the attention. That's probably though, that's the more likely.

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Thing after that last one. I don't know if I

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: want anymore.

5
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, well true, I mean I knows, but you never know.

6
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: It may be a squirrel that I would want to chase,

7
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, like women's wrestling. I want us to think

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: for a little bit about the essential pillars that sustain

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: this constitutional republic, and I came up with three mainly

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: for purposes of this conversation. Assimilation, a sense of community,

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: and of course citizenship. But when you think about this

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: current political climate was just marked by what division you have,

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: all these stupid identity based grievances. You've got government institutions

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: that are wavering away from their constitutional purposes. That really

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: makes the idea of assimilation, community, and citizenship even more important.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: So let's start with Let's start with something I would

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: call civic communion. Now, I know it's a term that

18
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: may sound foreign or odd, perhaps even misplaced as a

19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: religious reference, but I don't mean it that way. Civic

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: communion is nothing less than the belonging of citizens to

21
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: their nation and to their political system. It's more than

22
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: just you know, belonging. It's a sense that we're not

23
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: merely observers, but were actually active participants, that we, by

24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: our collective and community action, can shape this country's fate.

25
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: Aristotle refer to that as philia.

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: It's an attachment that keeps society's cohesive, and without that cohesiveness,

27
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: the bonds that hold a republic together begin to dissolve.

28
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: Can a free people? Can we as a free people

29
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: govern ourselves effectively? If questions about family, education, and religion

30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: get answered solely by hyper individualistic egalitarian ideology that says

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: everybody in equity, that everybody has to be the same,

32
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: everything has to be the same, then probably not. Because

33
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: when elite factions in government start to undermine the very

34
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: institutions that keep this country together, faith, family, education, the military,

35
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: all of which forms conscientious citizens, then they begin to

36
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: erode the very foundations of self government. Assimilation into these

37
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: shared traditions is not surrender, it's actually the basis for

38
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: meaningful citizenship and community. I think we're in a crisis.

39
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: Progressive movements have over the past one hundred years, they

40
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: have been very successful in fracturing the institutions that are

41
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: necessary for self rule, and the result of that is

42
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: a political system where morality becomes relative, multiculturalism overrides unity,

43
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: and equity trumps the common good. Then that community that

44
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: I refer to gets lost, and that gets replaced by

45
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: atomized individuals, by these really abstract ideals that are completely

46
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: devoid of any sort of natural attachment that would inspire

47
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: the idea of sacrifice and devotion, which is the last

48
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: time you heard anybody talk about sacrifice and devotion for

49
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: the country. A French political theorist one time reminded us

50
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: that democracy requires more than rights and equality. A republic

51
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: based on democratic ideals is the way I would put it,

52
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: demands integration into a community. A republic is not sustained

53
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: by ever expanding entitlements endless assertions of autonomy. I do

54
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: believe that we have individual liberty. I do believe that

55
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: we have individual autonomy, which may be redundant. But we

56
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: also have these commonalities that bring us together as citizens

57
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: of this republic, and that is it's based on education,

58
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: it's rooted in family faith, There's got to be some

59
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: confidence in virtue, and then assimilation to these traditions breeds

60
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: and or results in responsible self government. Crucially, that same

61
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: French political theorists, Manette teaches that liberal political orders should

62
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: not be dismantled, but instead upheld by citizens committed to

63
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: civic peace and liberty. It's it's not a post liberalism

64
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: that we're looking for, it's I think, a renewal a

65
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: civic communion, and that shapes virtuous, free individuals who then

66
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: participate in the common good. So to reclaim our constitutional republic,

67
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: we've got to do more than analyze the constitution or

68
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: elect like minded officials I think we have. We've got

69
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: to learn to understand that freedom comes alive only when

70
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: joined with civic communion, where citizens give and receive in

71
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: a spirit of fellowship. Real citizenship is realized not in

72
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: just total individual autonomy, but not also neither is it

73
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: recognized or realized in total collectivism. It's through the interplay

74
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: of our individual dignity and our communical our communal communal,

75
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: communal responsibility. So I would encourage you to think of

76
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: the Founding this way. It was a strong understanding of

77
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: this civic communion underpinned the principles that the Founding fathers

78
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: put in the Constitution. So this nation assumes that wisdom

79
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: is broadly dispersed among the people. We the people, and

80
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: a republican small r form of government then presupposes that

81
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: will have deliberation, thoughtful participation, and not just tribal loyalty

82
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: or shallow individualism. So how do we if we don't

83
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: have that today, which I don't believe that we have,

84
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: and how do we restore it? How do we get

85
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: back to that? Can we actually survive where citizens have

86
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: detached themselves from the very institutions that nurtured responsibility and

87
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: conscience because modern liberalism has redefined those bonds in terms

88
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: of autonomy, abstract rights, eroding the community, just completely destroying

89
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: assimilation that's necessary for self rule. So for us to endure,

90
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: if we're going to take this grand experiment and last

91
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: even any longer, then we've got to recognize and affirm

92
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: our relational nature that's formed by families, faith, and community.

93
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: And so go back again to civic communion. It doesn't

94
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: mean total politicization, but a recognition that we flourish together,

95
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: that we sacrifice and thrive within a civil society that

96
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: balances freedom and belonging both both church and political community

97
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: bring us into closer connection with others. Do you I

98
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: think about my friends and in my sphere of influence

99
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: that are completely opposite of me politically. You may be

100
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: you as a listener, you may be that way. Is

101
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: there nothing at all that binds us together?

102
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: Yes?

103
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: What drifts us apart is let me first say here's

104
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: what I think binds us together. A mutual agreement that

105
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: we want this country to be, in really broad generic terms,

106
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: the best that it can be, the greatest country that

107
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: it can be. Now, I think that means that we

108
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: create as much individual liberty, that we pursue as much

109
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: of legitimate capitalism, not crony capitalism, but true free markets,

110
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: and that we recognize that it is the responsibility of

111
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: us individually to help those who are less fortunate than us,

112
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: and that we don't, as I like to say, abdicate

113
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: our compassion to the government and not have the government

114
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: be the one that takes care of someone less fortunate.

115
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: That instead, our churches, our civic our private charities, all

116
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: of those should be doing it. We did the food

117
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: drive last week out at King Soupers, and I was

118
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: amazed at the number of people that you know, contribute

119
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: to the Food Bank of the Rockies. That's as it

120
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: should be as opposed to the you know, billions of

121
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: dollars that we spend that we spend on food stamps,

122
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: and that the food stamps, the snap program that oftentimes

123
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: goes to people that we frankly should not be providing for.

124
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: Because the people that we should not be providing for

125
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: because they're able bodied men capable of doing some sort

126
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: of work, just choose not to. Then those of us

127
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: who do choose to engage in legitimate employment, who do

128
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: work our butts off to provide for ourselves, should not

129
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: then have to be the ones that provide for those

130
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: who make the choice to not provide for themselves. If

131
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: you want to do that, then go find some charitable

132
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: organization that's willing to you know, support you, But don't

133
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: ask me as a taxpayer to do that. Other people

134
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: would say that disagree with me politically. Oh but no,

135
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: that's wrong, Michael. The only place that we can do

136
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: that and do that equitably. Wait a minute, there's that

137
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: nasty word. How can we do that equitably and make

138
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: sure everybody's treated the same as how the government do it? Well,

139
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't think everybody should be treated the same, because

140
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: if we treat everybody the same, that that presupposes that

141
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: everybody is the same and that we are not. The

142
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: founder said that many will lead because human nature gives

143
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: every single one of us the capacity for self government,

144
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: and that our system depends on broad participation. But then

145
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: we start to lose that. If we're going to remain

146
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: a constitutional republic, then we have to recommit to assimilation,

147
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: community citizenship, not as outdated concepts, but as the living

148
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: principles that are essential for liberty and self government.

149
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 3: We've got to do it that way. I want to

150
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: give you an.

151
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: Example of why I think that or what caused me

152
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: start to think about this kind of generic idea of

153
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: self participation and that we have a community. Take many

154
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: people who've come to this country illegally, or even for

155
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: that matter, there are some who've come to this country legally.

156
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: Made me under a temporary protected status. And I'm thinking

157
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: in particular about the Somalians because they're in the news today.

158
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Well they've been in the news for several days, but

159
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: over the past couple of days they've been high in

160
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: the news. Trump has suspended their temporary protected status and

161
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: we are now looking into a lot of We've talked

162
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: about this on the Saturday program, huge amounts of fraud

163
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: going on in Minnesota where you have little microca you

164
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: have little almost like no go zones like they had

165
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: in Seattle, where the Somalis rule everything. The Somalis in

166
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: particular seem to not be immigrants, but seem to come

167
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: here wanting to be conquerors. Where they had displaced us.

168
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't become your country anymore. It becomes their country,

169
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: and they don't even pretend otherwise. I want you to learn,

170
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: as an example from a deputy sheriff in Minnesota who

171
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: denounces his fellow American officers as foreigners. Now, I'm going

172
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: to rant. Can I get that on? I'm going to

173
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: play this. I'm going to try to lower the volume

174
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: a little bit because he's speaking in Somalian, but I've

175
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: got the subtitles to tell you what he says, and

176
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what he says because it's

177
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: pretty disgusting. Can I get that mic on?

178
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: Ok? Here we go, I'm money have any mon.

179
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: We stand for you and serve because you know, we

180
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: came to this country as.

181
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 3: And there were no police looking at it.

182
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: Now that we have been higher, it means we are

183
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: now working for our own people. We are now working

184
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: for our own people. So we understand the culture. We understand,

185
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: we understand the way of That's why we're not from

186
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: foreigners and white officers. Foreigners are white officers. You mean

187
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: your fellow officers got helped bridge that gap.

188
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: Thank you again and again. Hey, I know this.

189
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: Every small and police officer, whether you're in the homeland

190
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: or a broad works for you. Solians. Have look at

191
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 1: a dad when you are asleep at night, when you

192
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: are west resting. We are the ones protecting.

193
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: Our chief tomb in. Can't you taking the hate?

194
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 3: Wow?

195
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: Now, it's unclear who this guy is or what Minnesota

196
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: county he has helped conquer, but is very clear where

197
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: his loyalties are. He is a deputy sheriff. He's there

198
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: in his uniform. This you can see this account over

199
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: on x It's one of the libs of TikTok postings,

200
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: and in the community notes it notes that he is

201
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: not a sheriff. And I don't claim that he's a sheriff.

202
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: He is a deputy sheriff. And here he is describing

203
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: that he's there because these other officers, these white officers,

204
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: are foreigners and I'm here to protect the Somalians. Now,

205
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: if we take his rationale to its logical conclusion, then

206
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: black officers only represent and protect black people. Asians the same,

207
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: And then we start dividing it up by country, whether

208
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: you're a black individual from a particular country or you're

209
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: an Asian person from a particular country. I don't know

210
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: what we do with the white people in the country,

211
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: because are they just from Western Europe or are they

212
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: from particular countries? And we break it down that way,

213
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: this is where we lose the assimilation, and this is

214
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: where we lose the sense of community. Not opposed to immigration,

215
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: I think immigration is an absolutely vital part of this country.

216
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: We need people to come to this country. One reason

217
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: is because our birth rate is so low, and if

218
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to grow, then we need people

219
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: to come here. But I want people to come here

220
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: who want to assimilate, to be a part of the

221
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: community and to be a part of this grand experiment

222
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: of this constitutional republic. Guys like this do not represent that,

223
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: and people like Elon Omar, who represents Minnesota in Congress,

224
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: people like her do not represent this constitutional republic. Instead,

225
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: they represent their particular nationality.

226
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: Well wait a minute.

227
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: If you've come here and you have been elected to

228
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: the United States Congress, then you are an American.

229
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: Now I don't care if your.

230
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: Interest in his interest is in Somalians who have come

231
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: here and immigrated to this country, if indeed they want

232
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: to become citizens and assimilate into the country. But if

233
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: you come here expecting to bring all of your culture,

234
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: bringing all of your ways of life, and then you

235
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: want to build a wall around you literally and figuratively,

236
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: and never assimilate and become part of the grand experiment,

237
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: then we no longer govern ourselves. We have now taken

238
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: identity politics the Democrats have been enforcing on us. We've

239
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: now taken multiculturalism which Democrats have been enforcing upon us,

240
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: and it is now reaching its logical conclusion. And that

241
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: is every single one of those verticals. However you want

242
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: to divide up. An individual no longer becomes out of many,

243
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: one e pluribus unum. Instead it becomes, oh, we're just

244
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: a nation of immigrants, each in our own silo, each

245
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: operating under a own set of laws, under a own

246
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: set of morays, under our own set of standards, and

247
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: we don't operate as Americans. It's absolutely insane, totally insane.

248
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: And i'll tell you the other problem with it. We

249
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: can't survive as a nation if we allow that to continue.

250
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: You've got to assimilate. And I don't care whether this

251
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: guy is an under sheriff or a deputy sheriff or what.

252
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't care. But when he tells me that he

253
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: believes his mission is just to take care of the smallions,

254
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: and those white guys on his force are the foreigners.

255
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: And you've told me you have no business being here whatsoever,

256
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: and particularly you have no business being in law enforcement.

257
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: So again, it is assimilation. It is community that is

258
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: required for self governance, and without it, the republic will

259
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: not survive.

260
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 3: You'd have to work with me five days a week.

261
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be the real downfall.

262
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: See that's the problem.

263
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about, but being with you every.

264
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: Day you go to three fifty, you cannot work with me.

265
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as I didn't have to be here

266
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: every morning, Yeah, it would be worth it to gain

267
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: the extra one hundred and fifty pounds.

268
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, the extra one hundred and fifty to

269
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 3: get to three fifty. You don't weigh two hundred pounds.

270
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 2: Eighty pounds.

271
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: You're not anywhere near two hundred pounds.

272
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: Seventy.

273
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: You're back there like, okay that now I might believe that. Yeah,

274
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: I believe that well.

275
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: By the way, Dragon, when I first started working with

276
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 2: him here was at least three hundred old.

277
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: Don't you remember. Sometimes you've seen him coming down the hallway.

278
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,239
Speaker 1: You have to dart into the door, seems to pass by,

279
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: Otherwise he'd just mow you down.

280
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: Now he looks great. I'm proud of him.

281
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: I am so proud of him. It's amazing what he

282
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: could do. But you, yeah, I'm not. You're not two

283
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty pounds. There's no way if you can

284
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: weigh two undred fifty pounds and look like you do that,

285
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know what that secret is.

286
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how you pulled that off weighing two

287
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: hundred pounds.

288
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, not by actually not weighing tw hundred pounds exactly. Yeah,

289
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: one seventy sounds more like it. Grant will make it.

290
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: Are you here tomorrow too?

291
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: I am not with you tomorrow.

292
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 3: He's with me tomorrow.

293
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: I don't This is just like I could care less.

294
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: Really well, I know, and I fully appreciate and understand that.

295
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm just always curious, like what do I have to

296
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: work with? Like is it going to be a good

297
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: day or a bad day? And when I heard there

298
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: was going to be you today, I almost called in.

299
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 3: Sick me too. It's nice to have somebody. It's as

300
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: smart ass as you are to come in.

301
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to talk about how I deal in reality,

302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: which I do, which I know pisses off a lot

303
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: of people. And by the way, let me remind you

304
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: one more time, because I don't see them, but I

305
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: because we on this computer that Koa has, I don't

306
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: see their text line, but I see when texts pop up,

307
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: so I know some of you. Maybe you're not texting me,

308
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: But if you are texting me, I'm not seeing it

309
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: because you're using the wrong number three three one zero three.

310
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: So if you've said something nice to me or nasty

311
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: to me, or you don't like me or whatever, three

312
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: three one zero three, keyword Mike or Michael, Okay, so

313
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: get with it. Even though I like to deal in

314
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: reality for a moment, at least for maybe a couple

315
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: of segments, I'm going to drift off into what ifs.

316
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: What ifs for a moment, because there's this attitude or

317
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: not attitude that's too strong of the term.

318
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 3: There's kind of a feeling that Trump is.

319
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: Okay, We're glad it was Trump and not Kamala, But

320
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: many people still, including me, don't like necessarily like Trump

321
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: the personality, but like Trump the policies. Or you don't

322
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: like Trump's background, but you like what he's doing in

323
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, trying to really put America first,

324
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: or maybe you have disagreements with both. You don't like

325
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: him and you don't like the policies, which is another

326
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: reason to play what if? What if after Donald Trump

327
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: had won North Carolina that gets him to the core

328
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty five vote electoral votes he needs.

329
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: But then we talked about Atlanta earlier. What if Metro

330
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: Atlanta slipped a few points further left that would deny

331
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: Trump election, That would deny him sixteen electoral votes and

332
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: the shortest pathway to an electoral majority if you combine

333
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: that loss in Atlanta with winning Pennsylvania. So instead of

334
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: a performance lagging Clinton in Philadelphia County, Sayah, Kamala Harris

335
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: performance was more like Biden's there and in the Caller

336
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: counties around Philadelphia took away Pennsylvania's nineteen you didn't be

337
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: looking at a scenario in which Trump would have to

338
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: have Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and with Pennsylvania the furthest

339
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: right of the Big three in the Midwest, then it

340
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: becomes obvious that Kamala Harris would have emerged the victor

341
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: in such a scenario. And while he did win a

342
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: significant portion of the electoral college, and he did win

343
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: the popular vote, still when you look at it in

344
00:22:54,160 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: that vein, it was a close election. Imagine President Kamala Harris. Honestly,

345
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to just her as a mental package,

346
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty unimpressive from the get go. She would get

347
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: to work with an understanding that I believe the electorate

348
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: would quickly tire of her, just like they quickly tired

349
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: of her during the campaign. They quickly tired of Kamala

350
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: Harris every time she came out and talked, and her handlers,

351
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: especially if the House and the Senate remained in Republican control,

352
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: would have prepped her for some really bold executive action

353
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: designed to do exactly just one thing, and that would

354
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: be to ensure Democrat dominance of elections and key policy

355
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: positions for the twenty first century. That would have been

356
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: the only goal. Everything else that you see going on

357
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: right now would not be occurring. She would only do

358
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: everything that she could to make make sure that in

359
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six and the twenty twenty eight election,

360
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: now where she would have no agenda of her own

361
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: other than making certain that twenty twenty six twenty twenty

362
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: eight went Democrats. Now, even though FDR and to some

363
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: degree later Harry Truman, we're eventually replaced by Republicans, the

364
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: New Deal agenda is part of our economic and social

365
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: problem today, and it's something that's got to be worked

366
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: around no matter what ideologies are attached to any particular candidate.

367
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: Imagine trying to get her of social Security today. You

368
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: just simply can't do it.

369
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: But you could if.

370
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: Somebody was willing to take it on. You could start

371
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: to reform it and make it sustainable into the future.

372
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: But nobody even wants to touch it. They're that scared

373
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: of it. What do I think, President Kamala Harris, I mean,

374
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: this is Thanksgiving week, so you're into the eleventh month

375
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: of a new presidency. So something to be thankful for

376
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: is to think about what would a Kamala Harris presidency

377
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: been like Other than what I just said, which I

378
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: think the focus would have been on how do we

379
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: rig the election for twenty twenty six and twenty twenty

380
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: eight to make Democrats the dominant party. Let's think about

381
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: immigration and the border. Ironically, you know, Trump solving those

382
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: key campaign issues early, I think has led to the

383
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: current restlessness in the base. For the twenty twenty six

384
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: midterm campaigns, Republicans are going to have to pivot to

385
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: really finer policy points dish out a lot less red

386
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: meat because the electorate, I think, really does view immigration

387
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: and border enforcement as under control. That was not the

388
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: case just thirteen months ago, when everybody in the mother

389
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: was bitching and complaining about how we could not survive four.

390
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 3: More years of a wide open border. Well, guess what.

391
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris would have continued Biden's reckless border policies, resulting

392
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: in a mass run for the border that would destroy

393
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: the border towns that had already been ravaged by illegal immigration.

394
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: And instead of focusing on mass removals like we are

395
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: right now, we'd be doing the humane processing bit and

396
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: negotiating with both chambers of Congress to try to end

397
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: the humanitarian crisis in the country, all under a Kamala

398
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: Harris presidency, because we would have been flooded. And if

399
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: you think we're spending a boatload of money right now

400
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: on illegal immigration, imagine if that border had been opened

401
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: again because of a Kamala Harris's win. And to keep

402
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: it in perspective, I again say, that's why I think

403
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: the base is getting restless, because hey, we look at

404
00:26:54,280 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: that as solved, and the deportations is an effort to

405
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: continue to solve the problem. Okay, we've as I always used,

406
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: I use the bathtub in analogy. Illegal immigration prior to

407
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was a bathtub with a stopper closed. It

408
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: was overflowing, but nobody wanted to turn off the water.

409
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: You got it, you had to turn the water off

410
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: to stop the water from flooding the bathroom and having

411
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: a call discount bath You wanted to stop the water

412
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: flowing and then you could start on the next phase

413
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: of getting rid of the excess water in the bathtub.

414
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: And that's what we're doing today. The water's been turned

415
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: off and now we're deporting the excess water, so to speak.

416
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: But Harris would not have done any of that. What

417
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: we have right now is the quietest border that I've

418
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: recognized in decades, and quite frankly, we now have a

419
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: public all of you that no longer needs to hear

420
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: bunch of political speeches about the border. When you look

421
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: at the Dairyan Gap, that's the area in Panama that

422
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: most illegals came through, an incredibly dangerous place for them

423
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: to travel. In twenty twenty two, illegal crossings in the

424
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: Dairyan Gap were more than two hundred and forty eight thousand.

425
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, it almost doubled. Its skyrocketed to

426
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: more than five hundred twenty thousand. In twenty twenty four.

427
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: It dropped to three hundred two thousand in twenty twenty five.

428
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: So far this year slightly over two thousand. It has

429
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: come down to a trickle. It is effectively closed. You'll

430
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: never get to one hundred percent. But the Daryan Gap

431
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: is a good example because they still have to traverse Mexico.

432
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: They're just that's just to get through Panama. But at

433
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: the border itself California and New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, it

434
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: is virtually closed. So I think that's why that's been

435
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: a accomplished and now we move on to the next issue,

436
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: and people are getting restless about it. But what about

437
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: other issues? Let's take for example, energy and the environment next.

438
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's worth your time to change your perspective just

439
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: a little bit and play what if. So we played

440
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: a little what if about Kamala Harris and we went

441
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: through the border. Let's think about the environment, because let's

442
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: go to Pennsylvania, a key win for Donald Trump. I'm

443
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: always amazed at how and it's primarily because of Pittsburgh

444
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: and Philadelphia and the Coller counties around Philadelphia, but I'm

445
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: always amazed at how Pennsylvania still remains.

446
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 3: On Team Blue when they're candidates.

447
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: The Blue candidates the Democrats campaign on destroying the very

448
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: energy industry. This is the lifeblood of the entire western

449
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: part of the state. And so while this Trump administration

450
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: has been moving to tap the vast energy resources of

451
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: the entire United States, starting with Alaska on on the

452
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: very first day in office, I think you can rest

453
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: assure that Americans would be dealing with so many executive

454
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: actions that would be imposing from her home state, those

455
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: California style mandates on.

456
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 3: Truckers and plants, and you know, every.

457
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: Sector of the economy that deemed dangerous for the environment.

458
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: There would be executive order after executive order. You think

459
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: that the whole thing about Look, the electric vehicle market

460
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: is collapsing, and part of that is because, well, the

461
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: marketplace doesn't want to buy electric vehicles, but also because

462
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: we got rid of the stupid subsidies. They would have

463
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: doubled the subsidies. The day to day cost of simply

464
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: getting around to do you know, your work, your job,

465
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: your chores, everything else. All of those costs would pile

466
