You're not even on a radio, even 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 3: on the. 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: Radar, bucko. 30 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 1: If you want to become my worst nightmare, you got 31 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: to get your ass in gear and you got to 32 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: get to work. 33 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: And I can give you some pointers. 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I can point you to some people who 35 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: all believe and are just under be my worst nightmare, 36 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: and you can and you can try to, you know, 37 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: rise to that level, but it's not worth it because 38 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: you'll get up there and realize that you may be 39 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: my worst nightmare. But then you realize I don't give 40 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: a rat's ass. So so it's like, why do it? 41 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: I sat down yesterday after I finished the program because 42 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: I talked about this new national security strategy and how 43 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: it was an amazing it was an amazing documenting though 44 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: I'd only read stories about it, and so I gave 45 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: you a few stories about it yesterday. 46 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: But now I want to. 47 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: Walk through it itself, because holy cow, let me preface 48 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: it by saying this, there is if you're a Christian, 49 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: you know that God doesn't always choose perfect people to 50 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: fulfill his will, and some of the most flawed individuals 51 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: in Christian history and in world history end up becoming 52 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: some of the most influential, positively influential people in all 53 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: of humanity. And I'm not saying, and I'm certainly not 54 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: saying that Donald Trump is about to become one of 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: the most influential persons ever in human history. But this document, 56 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: the National Security Strategy, you can find it. It's a 57 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: it's a white House dot gov. Is made in November 58 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: this November twenty twenty five. It came out into the 59 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: month and it's on there. It's it's in PDF form 60 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: and you can download it. 61 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 3: I'll get it up at Michael says, go here, Yeah. 62 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: Dragon will give it up. He'll Dragon, I'll do something right. 63 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: But what I realized was, but again based on my 64 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: experience in Washington, d C. 65 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: Is that there was there was a meeting and it 66 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: was either during. 67 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: The transition, you know, back back prior to January twentieth 68 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five, or it was something that once 69 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: he had his national security team and some of his 70 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: cabinet members in place, or maybe it was a White 71 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: House group, but they got together and the president sat 72 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: down and said something to the effect, these are my goals, 73 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: and these are my short term goals, my medium term goals, 74 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: and my long term goals. And so here is my strategy. 75 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: Here's what I want to accomplish. Now you've got to 76 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: figure out how we go about doing this. So they 77 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: came up with this national security strategy, and I'm telling 78 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: you it is not another Washington my paper. 79 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 2: It is almost like a. 80 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: Formal declaration that this country has finished sacrificing our sovereignty, 81 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: that we're no longer going to sacrifice our prosperity or 82 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: our sons and our daughters for an ideological project of 83 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: some sort of global management that may never put American 84 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: people first. 85 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: It's a course correction, if you will, and. 86 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: It's a course correction that goes back to something that 87 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: our founders will recognize. It's simply a strong, independent republic 88 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: that deals with with the world as it is. We 89 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: defend our own borders, we protect our own workers, and 90 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: we refuse to apologize for putting Americans first. So we've 91 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: gone from global management. I've got a couple of categories 92 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: here I wrote down, from global management to national interest. 93 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: What we should want. I may skip through I've got 94 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: a couple of paragraphs on the principles of America, first 95 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: the end of mass migration era, but then I get 96 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: to some really interesting stuff like liberty as a national 97 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: security interest. We'll delve into that, and then ending atlas 98 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: what I mean mean by that, burden sharing and burden shifting. 99 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: I've got economic nationalism as part of the Grand strategy, 100 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: and the Western Hemisphere. We casually mentioned the Monroe Doctrine 101 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: and how we got the a fassembly of that in 102 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: the Trump Doctrine or the Trump Corollary. I've got it 103 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: marked down as the Trump Corollary. I've got a section 104 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: on China and the Indo Pacific as being competition without 105 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: any illusions about what's. 106 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: Really going on there. 107 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: In Europe, we want stability, but we don't want the 108 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: self erasure that I talked about yesterday. We're going to 109 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: cover that in the Middle East and Africa, no more 110 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: forever wars, and what this total realignment means. So I'm 111 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: going to try to get through these in just in 112 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: one hour. But think about historically, for thirty years after 113 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: the Cold War, both Republicans and Democrats convinced themselves that 114 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: it was our job to be the permanent dominating force 115 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: in the of the entire world. They and I think 116 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: we should be the dominant influence in the world. Domination 117 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: is different from influence. You can you can dominate through influence, 118 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: you can dominate through military strength, you can dominate through 119 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: economic strength, or you can dominate through influence. And I 120 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: think that's what Trump's trying to do here. So if 121 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: you go back to you know, you go back to 122 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: the end of the Cold War, and both Republicans and 123 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: Democrats just kept doing what they just kept writing all 124 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: the blank checks for all the foreign wars, they into 125 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: all those free trade deals with just eviscerated manufacturing. I 126 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: remember yesterday at some point in our conversation, I just 127 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: casually mentioned about, we don't know, or maybe this was 128 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: a conversation with somebody at lunch, I said, we just 129 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: don't make anything anymore. Now, I know that we still 130 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: make some things, and we still invent a lot, and 131 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: we still design a lot of things, but when it 132 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: comes to actually making that widget, we outsourced that. And 133 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: that's because of all the free trade deals. We have 134 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: subsumed ourselves to all these global institutions like the World's 135 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: Health Organization or the World Trade Organization or the United Nations, 136 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: and we and those people, those those people in the cabal, 137 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: those people in the ruling elite of both the Republicans 138 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: and the Democrats, somehow thought that that was going to 139 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: bring prosperity and peace. Well, we've had periods of prosperity 140 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: and recession and everything, as we normally have economic cycles. 141 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: But if you think we've truly had prosperity like the 142 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: booming twenties or something, we really haven't had that, and 143 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: we certainly haven't had peace. 144 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: It seems like from. 145 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: My entire lifetime anyway, there's always been a war going 146 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: on somewhere somewhere somehow, whether those whether you think they're 147 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: worthwhile or not, it's immaterial. We've been spending a lot 148 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: of blood and treasure on lures, and of course we've 149 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: allowed let's go back. I made a note here that 150 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: says this was a missy. This was a massive miscalculation 151 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: because all out our industry, it flooded our communities with 152 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: drugs and cheap labor, and its stretched the military thin 153 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: while the borders were left wide open. So what does 154 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: this new document do? 155 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: What does it do? 156 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: It just tears up that script entirely. It says, very 157 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: plainly that the affairs of other countries matter to us 158 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: only when it directly touches our vital interest. So what 159 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: would I what would I classify as our vital interests? Well, 160 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: obviously the safety of American citizens, the complete and total 161 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: independence of this republic, the strength of our economy and 162 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: our industry, and and this is pretty broad, but I 163 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: think it's important. I know some of you disagree with 164 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: me when I when I criticize or I worry about 165 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: what's going on in Europe, and you say, who gives 166 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: orbrabs 's about Europe? Well, I do, because Europe is 167 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: part of Western civilization. 168 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 2: It may already be gone. 169 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: I don't know whether it can be saved or not, 170 00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: but it is the survival of Western civilization itself, and 171 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: I don't want us to be the loan embodiment of 172 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: Western civilization in the entire world. That is what I 173 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: just described. That is truly America first in its purest form. 174 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: It's a focused definition of the national interest, and it 175 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: is a refusal to pretend that every global problem is 176 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: ours to solve. So what does that strategy say about what? 177 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: At least as far as our political leadership goes the 178 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: Trump administration. What does to say about what America should want. 179 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: Here's what I've written. First, A safe and sovereign homeland 180 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: that actually controls who comes in and who does not. 181 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: This secures its borders against Cartel's terraces and mass migration, 182 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: mass immigration, and they refuse us to let international bureaucrats 183 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: or all these NGOs dictate our immigration policies or for 184 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: that matter, our foreign policy. Listening to a podcast late 185 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: last night because I couldn't sleep because I was all 186 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: wound up about this. Have you heard anything recently about 187 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: Gaza or or Amas well in this podcast that you 188 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: know I told you there's this one particular international podcast 189 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: that I listened to. It it's really based on Oh 190 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:32,479 Speaker 1: dang it, having a brain fart here the the the 191 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: group that's called the Defensive Democracy. I forget the full 192 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: name of it. They have a journal on there called 193 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: the Long War Journal, and it's based upon that. Bill 194 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: Rossio uh and Master Conye and a bunch of others 195 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: are are part of that group. When you think about 196 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: Hamas has be law and it seems quiet in the 197 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: middle of Eague, according to them, it's really not because 198 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: the NGOs, particularly the United Nations Refugee Organization UNRA, is 199 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: back in operation again and is back funding people in 200 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: the Gaza strip. And by people, I don't mean Gozans, 201 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: I mean has Belaw and Hamas. And while the Lebanese 202 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: government is absolutely faltering, the Iranians are still they While 203 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: we may have at least sat back their nuclear weapons program, 204 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: they still have their oil, they still have some of 205 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: their wealth and they're still distributing that to has Belaw 206 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: on the northern part of Israel, on the southern border 207 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: of Lebanon, and they're fundeling, still funeling the hoothies. So 208 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: all of this is still percolating, allowing all of them 209 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: to rearm and reorgan and eyes while we sit back 210 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: all dumb, fat and happy and thing things are going okay, 211 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: but in fact they're really not. So back to what 212 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: it means what should be we be wanting and what 213 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: does this national strategy say that we should be wanting? 214 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: And the second part is would be I wrote a 215 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: resilient infrastructure and economy, energy manufacturing technology, all which should 216 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: be strong enough to withstand pandemics, wars, disasters, and economic 217 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: coercion from any adversary. In other words, we should not capitulate. 218 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: We should not allow communists China, for example, to be 219 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: manufacturing all of our pharmaceuticals or anything else. We going 220 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: to start moving this back. This document calls for the 221 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: world's most capable military and nuclear deterrent back by a 222 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: real missile defense architecture, the Golden Dome that Trump's talked about, 223 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: so that no foreign power could ever blackmail us or 224 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: threat in our cities. The document insist that our economic 225 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: power remain unmatched, supply chains cannot be held hostage, an 226 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: industrial base that is second to none, and an energy 227 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: sect that leads the world because of American oil, gas 228 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: and nuclear, not because we bowed the climate crusades. That's 229 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: pretty damn good, you know those crusades that were written 230 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: in DeVos and written in you know, a cop thirty 231 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: down in Blim, Brazil. 232 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: No. 233 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: And then this document ties all of this something that 234 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: the left and I would even include rhinos in this 235 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: that refuse to talk about, and that is the spiritual, 236 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: the cultural, and the family strength of the American people 237 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: as a prerequisite for long term security. This document basically 238 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: says we're going to return to not to I mean, 239 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: you can't really categorize it as isolationism, and you can't 240 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: categorize it as we're going to withdraw as the world's policemen, 241 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: because we still will, but just in a different way. 242 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: We will isolate ourselves, but we won't just look inward. 243 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: We will still we recognize that the world's economy has 244 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: become globalized. For example, well, we talk an awful lot 245 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: about rare earth minerals and how we can't let communist 246 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: China get a monopoly on those, whether that be in 247 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: South America or Africa or anywhere else. It means that 248 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: we need to get into business with South America and 249 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: Africa and places so that we have access. 250 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: To those rare earth minerals. 251 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: But what most of the left won't talk about is 252 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: this that many of those rare earth minerals are available 253 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: in this country, but we have so overregulated ourselves that 254 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: we don't allow ourselves to even access the rare earth 255 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: minerals that we need in this country. And we've got 256 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: to stop that, Which is a which is a good 257 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: point to kind of jump off and say that one 258 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: of the Americans america first principles is that we have 259 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: to learn that we have overregulated ourselves to the point 260 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: that we are destroying ourselves from within, and so by 261 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: deregulating and you know, and I'm using that term very 262 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: very broadly, because I'm not advocating that we just completely 263 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: deregulate everything, but I do believe that we've so overregulated 264 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: ourselves that many of the things that we need for 265 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: a robust economy or right before our eyes, but we 266 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: can't see them because there are thousands and thousands of 267 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: pages of regulations and lawsuits and litigation and everything else 268 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: in all the Sierra Club and everybody that prevents us 269 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: from accessing those things that we really need to produce 270 00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: a really vibrant economy. So this return to peace through 271 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: strength is done in a very serious way, because it 272 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: makes clear that the road to peace is a booming 273 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: and strong American economy, stronger than any other economy, a 274 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: greater GDP than any you know, and we're already apartments. 275 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: We are generally already the world's largest and strongest economy. 276 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: But what we're not recognizing is that on the fringes, 277 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: on the periphery of that economy, we're beginning to whit 278 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: little way. 279 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: And Trump is. 280 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: Saying here we're going to reverse that, and we're not 281 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: gonna do that anymore. And the very first step was 282 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: the end of the era of mass immigration. 283 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 2: I know I live in your head, buddy. 284 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 3: Tell me about the dream you had last night. 285 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: O god. 286 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: Guba number forty one, Michael, you're talking about a realignment 287 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: of America. That's exactly what it is. You mentioned a 288 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: document of some sort. What does that document and where 289 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: can we find it? It is the National Strategic I 290 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: forget the. 291 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 2: Name of it now. 292 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: That the National Strategic something I don't have in front 293 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: of me. But Dragon is on the White House website. 294 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 1: But Dragon's put it up at Michael says, go here 295 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: dot com. 296 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: Michaels says, go here, got co. Yeah, that's exactly right, sweetheart. 297 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 2: That's where it is. 298 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: Forty five nineteen. You want to know what are you reading? 299 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: The National Security Strategy? That's what it is, the National 300 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: Security Strategy, and you can find it at Michael says 301 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: go here dot com. It may take a little while 302 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: to propagate through the system, but Dragon's got it posted 303 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: up there. 304 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: Michael says, go here. 305 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: Got co. And I really, I sincerely would encourage you 306 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: even if you don't read a word for word to 307 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: go through because you'll recognize. I mean, I think this 308 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: is the kind of thing that you read. This is 309 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: like reading something that is one reaffirming what you already believe. 310 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: So I know there's confirmation bias in and I completely 311 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: understand understand that. 312 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: But it's the things that fly over country. 313 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: You and I as just ordinary Americans, have been saying 314 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: for decades, and now here is whether whether it's Trump, 315 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: because look, the president of the United States of America. Look, 316 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: you know, I've I've worked up close and personal with 317 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: President Bush, so I know kind of how they operate. 318 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,479 Speaker 1: And well, Trump and Bush are obviously entirely different, the 319 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: apparatus and the. 320 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 2: System remains pretty much the same. 321 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: So I'm convinced that Trump said, look, this is what 322 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: I want to accomplish. 323 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 2: This is the path that I want us to go down. 324 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: And I think he learned from Trump one point zero 325 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: that personnel is policy. So he made sure this time 326 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: that he put the kind of people in place, either 327 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: that one that required Senate confirmation, like the cabinet secretaries 328 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: or the undersecretaries, or the White House staff, which does 329 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: not require Senate confirmation, and he put the kind of 330 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: people together that understood what his vision was, and they 331 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: were able to articulate that vision into a strategy that 332 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: now guides every single decision that is made by the 333 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: White House and all the cabinets and the departments and 334 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: the agencies. They are guided by this document. 335 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 2: That's how you lead. 336 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: Now, before I go into some of the elements of 337 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: what's in this declaration, I want you to understand that 338 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: the one thing I'm still not happy about are the 339 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: Republicans in the House and the Senate. They need to 340 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: get off their butts and they need to reach this 341 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: document too, and then they need to sit down in 342 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: their caucus and they need to say to themselves, look, 343 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: this is where the President wants to take us. Now, 344 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: maybe all of us don't agree with every single part 345 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: of it, but as an overall strategy, surely. 346 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 2: We can meet. 347 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: You know, if there are I forget how many I've 348 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: got listed here, I think I've got late meet, maybe 349 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: ten items listed. If we can get six or seven 350 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: of those, more than half, that will put us on 351 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: a path to prosperity and leadership and influence like we've 352 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: never seen before. And in addition to that, it will 353 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: lay the groundwork for the twenty twenty eight election, so 354 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: that and I don't care. I truly, I truly do 355 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: not care who that nominee is. It could be jd Vance, 356 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: It could be Marc la Rubio, It could be Scott Descent. 357 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: It could be somebody we don't even think about right now, 358 00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: so maybe we don't even know. It could be a 359 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: governor sore. But whoever it is, this will be the 360 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: launchpad and the rocket ship will already be taking off, 361 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: and the all they need to do is grab onto 362 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 1: that rocket ship and keep going the same direction. I 363 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: guess I'm a little giddy about this because I've never 364 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: seen anything quite like this in my entire life, even 365 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. While Reagan had grand visions of certain things, 366 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: he never really encapsulated that into what I would call 367 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: this is where I think we need to go. And 368 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: I want everybody in my cabinet, and I want everybody 369 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: in my party, and I want Americans to understand this, 370 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: and this is where I want to go. I said 371 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: that one of the elements that we don't really need 372 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time on, but it's worth mentioning, 373 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: is the end of mass migration. Talking about just illegal 374 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: immigration into this country. I'm talking about the ending of 375 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: mass migration into Europe, into South America or anywhere else 376 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: in the world, because that disrupts the culture, that disrupts 377 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: the identity, and that disrupts the national interests of all 378 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: of those countries. And if you don't believe me, as 379 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: I pointed out yesterday, look at Europe. And I know 380 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: many of you don't care about Europe. I only care 381 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: about Europe because it's part of Western civilization. And so 382 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: if you've got if you've got a house, and that 383 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: house is called Western civilization, and you discover black mold 384 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: in it, somewhere, you discover termites, you discover a structural 385 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: weakness somewhere in that house, you fix it, because the 386 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: house will collapse if you don't. Well, Europe is a 387 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: part of the foundation of Western civilization. And now Europe 388 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: may be completely gone, and what we may need to 389 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: do is just demolish them and just put them off 390 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: in their corner somewhere and wall them off and leave 391 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: them alone. But I think Europe can still be saved 392 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: because even places like Germany, which still allow mass migration, 393 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: are at least recognizing that their stupid green New deal 394 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: policies are working, and they're paying some of the highest 395 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: electricity rates in the country. They you look at Portugal 396 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: and Spain and the blackout that occurred there, and suddenly 397 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: you realize that, oh, yeah. 398 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 2: They screwed the pooch. They really have. 399 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: But one of the things that stuck out in this 400 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: document for me was liberty as a national security interest. 401 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: And that is a striking shift because this strategy puts 402 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: constitutional liberty back. 403 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 2: At the heart of national security. 404 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: Because in the documenty it warns that in the name 405 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: of de radicalization, disinformation or protecting democracy, Western governments have 406 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: been tempted to censor speech, engage in thought police, and 407 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: to manipulate elections. And the document says very plainly that 408 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 1: the American government exists to secure. 409 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: God given natural rights. 410 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: Those are speech, religion, conscience, self government, and we are 411 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: not to manage or suppress them. We are to secure them. 412 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: That is such a basic fundamental principle of the Constitution. 413 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: When everybody tells me that the number one job of 414 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: the President and the Constitution is to protect America, it 415 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: just makes me win a puke. 416 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 2: It is not it. 417 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: Is it is to guarantee and protect those God given 418 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: natural rights, a speech, religion, conscience, self government, because without 419 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: those the country, the republic cannot exist. So under this doctrine, 420 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: national security agencies are going to get pulled back from 421 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: domestic political policing. They're going to get pulled back from 422 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: information control, and abroad, we're going to push our allies 423 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: to resist all these elite projects that shut down debate, 424 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: that criminalize dissent, or label. 425 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: Mainstream views as being extremist. 426 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: In other words, the defense of freedom is no longer 427 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: something we preach overseas while eroding it at home. It 428 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: becomes a test of whether a policy actually. 429 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: Serves our long term security. 430 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: So anytime Congress is looking at a bill or an 431 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: agency is looking at a regulation or a policy, does 432 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: that advance our long term security? 433 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 2: That's the question. 434 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 4: Michael show as great as always, just got a small 435 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 4: tech piece.

Thanks Michael, keep it up, great show, 437 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 4: great show. We love your show. 438 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, did you know who I was talking about? 439 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 2: All right? 440 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: Then bite my butt because if you knew wo I 441 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: was talking about, bu'st out bastn't whatever. Scott, how about 442 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: Scott to Scott Secretary Scott Scott B. 443 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 2: Scott B. 444 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: We come in here and talk one hundred miles an hour. 445 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: By the way, it's Colorado Gives Day. So show your 446 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: support for the arts, the environment, education, curing cancer, or 447 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: a cause that matters to you through the Colorado Gives Foundation. 448 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: With thousands of nonprofits to choose from.

So 451 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: go back to this document. I don't really, I mean, 452 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: I could spend the entire program today on this document. 453 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I actually may spend 454 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: part of the next power on it too, because this is, 455 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: as you can probably tell by mike My enthusiasm, this 456 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: is a roadmap. It's a great roadmap. It's like one 457 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 1: of those old folding maps you used to h at 458 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,479 Speaker 1: the gas station. You know, you wanted to figure out 459 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: how to get from Kansas delG We're going to go 460 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: to Aspen. Yeah, we're going to go to Aspen. And 461 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: you don't fold that map. You'd follow along, Oh my gosh, 462 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 1: it was exciting. Yeah, and then pretty soon you use 463 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: it so much it got torn in the corners and stuff. 464 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: I hope that's how this document gets used. They talk 465 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: about the economy and economic nationalism as being a grand strategy. 466 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: Listen to how this document talks about the economy not 467 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: as some separate technocratic domain, but as the bedrock of 468 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: national power. The document declares that a strong defense industrial base, 469 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: reshort manufacturing, secure supply chains, and energy abundance are as 470 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: essential to our national security as are any aircraft carrier 471 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: or infantry brigade. And in practical terms, that means using 472 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: tariffs and trade policy to end one sided arrangements, to 473 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: punish dumping of goods in this country and to force 474 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: fair access for US goods that we export. So that 475 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: means we're going to end our dependence on our adversaries 476 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: for critical minerals or pharmaceuticals or advanced components. We're going 477 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: to use intelligence and regulation to monitoring close those vulnerabilities. 478 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: It means a national mobilization to produce low cost defenses, 479 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: especially against drones and missiles. 480 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: In other words, we're going to modernize the military. 481 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: Wow, when you look at what's going on between Russia 482 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: and Ukraine, you look at what you know China shows 483 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: off all the time. You think yourself, crap, Are we ready, 484 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: as I said yesterday, No, I don't think we are. 485 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: Would we rise to the occasion, of course we would. 486 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: But do you really want to go through another World 487 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: War two where we have to ration and we we 488 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: have to invoke the Defense Production Act so that we've got, 489 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: you know, manufacturing companies doing particular things to get us 490 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: so that we can actually win a war. No, I'd 491 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: rather be prepared. Maybe that's just me. This document means 492 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: also in terms of economic nationalism, embracing American energy dominance, 493 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: expanding oil, gas code, nuclear, rejecting to net zero schemes, 494 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: using and using cheap, reliable energy to fuel our manufacturing comeback, 495 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: and then to undercut the leverage of the Pectro dictators 496 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: and Beijing, who're all in khoots. China's out there building 497 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: cold plants like there's no tomorrow, and what are we doing. 498 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: We're doing dumb ass stuff in Colorado, like saying, oh, 499 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna get rid of natural gas and we're gonna 500 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: electrify everything, and that stupid dumb ass Jared Polos has 501 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: no idea what he's doing. Oh, I take that back, 502 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: he knows precisely. 503 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 2: What he's doing. 504 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: He's trying to add, absolutely destroy the coloravery economy. He 505 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: wants to limit your choice.
