Vin Webber of Minneapolis, he's already inflicted 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: upon US. Vikings Chat.

Michael McKee, would you like 35 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: to brief Mr Webber and how you in a Super 36 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: Bowl with your Denver Broncos said, my Denver Broncos actually 37 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: won for the first time in twenty years. We we 38 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: we noticed that, and the Vikings are but the Vikings 39 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: are improving steadily. We're very happy with our quarterback, Daddy Bridgewater, 40 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: were very happy with our coach, Coaches Zimmer. Their team 41 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: has been improving regularly all along. We had a disappointing 42 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: end to the season this year, but we're ready to 43 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: play the Super Bowl in our own new stadium. We do, 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: we do. See then, Webber, your team. The Republicans have 45 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: to improve off of Super Tuesday, after the convention and 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: frankly after the election, whatever happens. Jeb Bush exits early. 47 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: Mr Casey of Ohio seems to be picking up establishment support. 48 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: But what is your new prescription for the Grand Old Party? 49 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 1: The party, It's not so much a new prescription, it's 50 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: getting back to the prescription that used to work. We 51 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: have to become the party of economic growth again. An 52 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: awful out of this fresh ration that shows itself in 53 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: support for building walls and deporting people and starting trade wars. 54 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 1: Is a frustration with an economy that just isn't growing 55 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: very fast. That you were went down around one percent 56 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: now at two percent now is considered probably pretty good growth. 57 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: It's not good growth. Three percent pluses is healthy growth, 58 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: and we have to shoot for four uh that's what 59 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: the Republican Party needs to identify itself as. Again, you 60 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: hate to keep going back to Reagan, but Reagan, you know, 61 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: did create a generation of imaging and branding, if you will, 62 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: for the Republican Party. And the main point that he 63 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: made was we were the party of economic growth. If 64 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: the party talks about that and talks about inclusion, a 65 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: lot of these other issues will become secondary. But people 66 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: are frustrated that they're not living in any continent's growing, 67 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: and an economy that doesn't grow rapidly can't produce a 68 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: better standard of living for the next generation than it 69 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: does for this one. It's understandable people are concerned, but 70 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: they're grasping at the wrong solutions, led by somebody who's 71 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: willing to exploit their concern Well, Reagan came to office. 72 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: I mean he did talk much more positively than any 73 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: of the Shining City on the Hill, by the way, 74 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: there was no wall around that. But he had basically 75 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: four ideas, four things he wanted to get done, and 76 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: chief among them was tax cuts. In other words, he 77 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: had an enervating idea. One particular thing he brought to 78 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: the table saying we're gonna do this and it's gonna 79 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: help growth. Leaving a side of the argument of whether 80 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: it worked or not. Nobody seems to have that one 81 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: idea for what to do any well. I think that 82 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: there are I don't think there's one idea. I think 83 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: that there are a series of ideas. First of all, 84 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: I think tax reform is is very much a part 85 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: of that. I don't think you didn't get quite the 86 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: bang for simple across the board reductions that you did 87 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: when the top rate was at se as it was 88 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: when President Reagan came out. But I still think that 89 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: you can actually give the economy a good boost by 90 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: bringing the rates down, broadening the base, also deregulation to 91 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: a substantial extent. I think that it's underappreciated how much 92 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: we are increasing the regulatory burden on the economy. That 93 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: was also part of what President Reagan did, particularly the 94 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: energy here. William Cohen of May will join us later. 95 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: He has spoken of a brown America. Now you're in Minneapolis, 96 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: Jeff Lakedown in Arizona's got a lot more focused on 97 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: the diversity, the new diversity of America. With the language 98 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: that we've heard in the last hours, days, and even 99 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: the last months, how does your Republican party do inclusive, 100 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: do diversity. Well, they have they have to. They have 101 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: to do what many Republican leaders are done, which is 102 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: to simply denounce what we've heard the last several days 103 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: and say very clearly, Uh, there's no place in this 104 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: party for racism or David Duke or the ku Klux Klan. 105 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: You know, even in Minnesota, my state where we have 106 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: a relatively white population, still we have the largest Somali 107 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: population in America because they fled when things got really 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: bad over there and we're relocated. Uh, and they're they're good, solid, 109 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: hard working citizens of my state of Minnesota. But they 110 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: have to be concerned with what they're hearing. If we 111 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: have a leading and for president who's talking about deporting 112 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: people that don't look like him and building up walls 113 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: to keep him out, who knows what he would do next. 114 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: The party simply has to make a strong stand. Many 115 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 1: Republicans have none better than than NICKI Haley, the governor 116 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: of South Carolina. Who would have thought that this voice 117 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: for diversity and tolerance would come out of the state 118 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: of South Carolina, which probably led the fight for the 119 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: Confederacy during the Civil War. But she's been superb. Senator 120 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: Ben Sash from Nebraska issued a very well thought out 121 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: explanation of why he could not vote for Donald Trump. Uh, 122 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: but we have to keep these voices alive in the 123 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: midst of all the panic and noise that's going. We 124 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: could go for two hours and we haven't even gotten 125 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: to Barber accountable twenty seconds. You need people to drop 126 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: out of the race this evening or tomorrow morning to 127 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: support your candidate from l No, I'm not sure that 128 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: that's right. I I think the keeping people in the 129 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: race might be the might be the best solution to 130 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: keeping the convention open at this point. It's an it's 131 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: an open question. Vin Webber, thank you so much. He 132 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: is Vin Webber from Minnesota.
