1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Tutor Dixon Podcast in the Clay 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: and Book Podcast Network. Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm Tutor Dixon, and I'm glad you're joining me today 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: because I am super excited about our guest. He grew 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: up in Brooklyn, the son of a single mom, graduated 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: from Florida State, and now he's a congressman for Florida's 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: nineteenth district. Congressman Byron Donalds, thank you for joining me today. 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: It's going to be with you. Thanks for having me on. 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm excited absolutely. I am excited too because just before 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 1: we got on, we started talking about elections and what 11 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: we need to be doing for elections, and you said 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: something really interesting to me. You talked about punditry and 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,639 Speaker 1: how people keep coming out and saying they know everything, 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: but really there's some things that we're not doing. Isn't 15 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: aren't there? 16 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 3: I totally agree. Look at the midterm elections was really 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 3: interesting to me. A couple things. One, I just I 18 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 3: understand the value of political consultants. I'm not trying to 19 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 3: downgrade political consultants, but they don't know all and they 20 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: don't see all. And the number one thing that we 21 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 3: really weren't seeing was, you know, all of our polling 22 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: packages were saying the big four issues were crime, immigration, 23 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: you know, the economy, you know, you know the border 24 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: like that that, you know, stuff going on to schools, 25 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 3: you know, the the gender transitioning stuff which has been 26 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 3: disastrous for students, closing schools that Democrats did. And I'm 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: not discounting any of that. I think those are all 28 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 3: major issues in America still are actually, but one of 29 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 3: the key issues that that's really hurt us is how 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 3: the left has weaponized college students. And I'm really focusing 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 3: on college age voters with respect to abortion. And it's 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: something where as a party, we didn't have a message, 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 3: we didn't have a strategy. It's something that we just 34 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: looked at polling and said, oh, well, that's issue number seven. 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 3: But yeah, for most voters in the midterm election, it 36 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: is issue number seven. But the Democrats found a way 37 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: to weaponize college students with it, and they turned them 38 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 3: out in large numbers. 39 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: And that's in part one of them. 40 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: That's actually the biggest reason the midterm elections didn't turn 41 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 3: out the way we had anticipated. 42 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I think that there are a lot of 43 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: people who felt like Roe v. Wade was overturned and 44 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: that was a huge win. And so there was this 45 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: false sense of security on the life side of things, 46 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: where I mean, I know that even folks I was 47 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: talking to on the life side of things, because that's 48 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: obviously that was a big issue in my race, we're 49 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: saying no, no, no, we've got this. And even when 50 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: I tried to have that conversation of you know, this 51 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: just doesn't seem like this is the heart space of 52 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: the people. I've traveled all across the state. At that point, 53 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: I had talked to Christian moms, strong Christian moms who 54 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: took me aside and said, we can't take this away 55 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: from our daughters. And no matter how often I said 56 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: it's up to the people, because in Michigan it was 57 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: on the ballot, it was an incredibly effective tool to 58 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: threaten people. You know, this is going to be taken 59 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: away from you. I heard someone recently say, once you've 60 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: gotten to a certain number of years with an issue, 61 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: it is really hard to change that heart space. And 62 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily legislation, it's culture, it's everything that folks believe. 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: So I've had people come after me and say, do 64 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: you really think that this many women want to kill 65 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: their babies. I don't think that's it at all. I 66 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 1: think it's they see it as a right, and it's 67 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: becomes the norm. And as much as people hate to 68 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: think that that's become the norm, it's really hard to 69 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: say you're going to have one politician come in and 70 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: be the savior of all this. We were at twenty 71 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: four to twenty six weeks. A lot of states could 72 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: have said, Okay, now, Roe v. Waite is overturned, we're 73 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: going to go somewhere between between ten and fifteen weeks, 74 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: and that would have been saving a lot of life. 75 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: But I know that there's a feeling that you have 76 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: to save all or nothing, and that just doesn't seem 77 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: the heart space of the country right now. 78 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 3: Well, look, the first thing is is that you know, 79 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: we want to do everything possible to save every life. 80 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 3: I think abortion has really been a scourge in our country, 81 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 3: especially in the black communities. The amount of babies that 82 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: have been aborted. Just think about the Black population in 83 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 3: America could have actually grown substantially over that time. So 84 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: it's been a very personal topic, very divisive topic in 85 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: our in our country. But the one thing you are 86 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 3: correct in is that for fifty years, the left has 87 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 3: positioned this issue as if it's a right without balancing 88 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 3: it amongst the other rights, like the right of the 89 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: unborn to live, the right for you know, the right 90 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: for a lot. 91 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: Of other things. 92 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 3: And so when they've done that, frankly unfortunately quite successfully 93 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: for so long. 94 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 2: You have a lot of people who really believe that 95 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: to be the case. 96 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 3: So my view is that it's going to take time 97 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 3: for the country to understand the new politics of abortion 98 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: and what that sweet spot is. And it's really going 99 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: to take time, I think, you know, for pro life 100 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 3: activists to see the world they want to see, because 101 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 3: people now have to live in the new reality of 102 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: the fifty States making decisions, and so it takes time 103 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 3: for the politics of that to center around where the 104 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 3: culture is. Ben Shapiro love them, listen to him a lot. 105 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 3: He always says, you know, politics is downstream from culture. 106 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: Abortion is no different. 107 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 3: And the tragedy in the United States is abortion has 108 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 3: become a part of our culture. The positives are is 109 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 3: that there are a lot of young people who are 110 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 3: actually pro life, like they want to save lives, they 111 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: want to have their children, they don't want to seek abortion, 112 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 3: and so I think that it's going to take us 113 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: time to move into this new realm of the new 114 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: politics I guess you would say, of abortion, of what 115 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: that means in the United States, I think where it's 116 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: really going to end up is California. It's frankly going 117 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 3: to be abortion till birth, and same as New York, 118 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: maybe same as Oregon and Washington State, Mississippi, Alabama, it's 119 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 3: going to be no, we're not we're not allowing abortions 120 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 3: or six weeks like which is the law in Florida now, 121 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: or ten weeks in some states, and you're really going 122 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: to have a hybrid approach. What I think is going 123 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: to happen is America is going to slowly down ship 124 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 3: much more to what the standards are in Europe, which 125 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 3: is where you have anywhere from ten to twelve weeks, 126 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: and in some states is going to be less than that. 127 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: Well, I think that's something that folks need to understand 128 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: is that this is an ongoing battle. It's an ongoing 129 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: discussion between the both of the sides, and that, like 130 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: I said, just because Roe v. Wade was overturned, that 131 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: didn't mean that abortion was gone. It certainly is something 132 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: that has become ingrained in our culture, and that's something 133 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: that if you want to start saving life, you have 134 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: to save life over time. But this is something that 135 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: has come up with the presidential election. Now you've endorsed 136 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump and you want to see him win 137 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: another term. But now you see the life activists have 138 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: gone after him and said that he's not he's pro choice. 139 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: Now he's not pro life. But isn't it Donald Trump 140 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: who got these justices on who overturned Roe v. Wade, 141 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: which is what they wanted, But now they wanted to 142 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: go back to the federal government. 143 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 3: Well, I think for the active who want the federal 144 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: government to federal government or Supreme Court to make the 145 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 3: final decision, I just think that's the wrong approach. Again, 146 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: I would always tell the democratis as well. Medical procedures 147 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: are governed by the fifty states. The federal government doesn't 148 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 3: govern medical procedures for the entire country. 149 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: We don't do that. They're governed by state law. 150 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 3: Abortion, as distasteful as I think it is, is a 151 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: medical procedure. So it's proper place is at the state level, 152 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: where people have much more access to their state legislature 153 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: and their governor than they would actually be able to 154 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 3: have at the federal level, because it's much more of 155 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: a personal issue, much more of obviously, medical procedures are personal. 156 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: I think when it comes to the presidential election, I 157 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 3: think people need to understand on the Republican side of 158 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 3: the aisle, Donald Trump, frankly is the first Republican president 159 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 3: i've seen who on the campaign trail said I'm going 160 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 3: to do these things, then got elected and actually did them. 161 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 3: After that, I don't even know what you're looking for anymore, Like, 162 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 3: just tell me the menu and then go do it. 163 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 3: He did it in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, came into 164 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: office and did it. He has a whole menu of 165 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 3: things that he's looking to do right now. One of 166 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 3: the big ones is cleaning out the deep state, cleaning 167 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 3: out these parts of the federal bureaucracy that are weaponized 168 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: against the American people. I know he's committed to that. 169 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: Talk to him enough about it. He wants to see 170 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 3: that done. But on a broader perspective, and this is 171 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 3: not just specifically with abortion. From a foreign policy perspective, 172 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: our country is in a very precarious place, and there 173 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 3: is one person who can step in day one and 174 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 3: get us back on track with our rivals across the 175 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: globe China, Russia, Iran, North Korea. He could step in 176 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 3: day one and just look at them and say, all right, fellas, 177 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: enough's enough, I'm back. Here's what America is going to do. 178 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 3: And we need that type of leadership across the globe. 179 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 180 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: a Tutor Dixon podcast. We've lost a lot of ground 181 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: with foreign policy in the last two years. You look 182 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: at the president of France going over and meeting with 183 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: China and saying that they can work with China. This 184 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: is our oldest ally that is now saying maybe they're 185 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,119 Speaker 1: the leaders of the world. I mean that's they're indicating 186 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: that they feel more comfortable believing that China will be 187 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: the strongest country in the world rather than the United States. 188 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: Is a that is a serious change of events, and 189 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: that really turns the world upside down. It's incredibly dangerous. 190 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: Is that the main reason you chose Donald Trump over 191 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: Ronda Santis? Obviously Ronda Santis hasn't announced yet, but all 192 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: signs point to he's going to a lot of people said, well, 193 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: people in Florida are saying that they'd go with Donald 194 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: Trump over Ronda Santis. So do you think that the 195 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: foreign policy part of it is the number one reason? 196 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, it's the biggest one. 197 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: They're all important, but it's the biggest one, especially looking 198 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 3: at the way Joe Biden has represented us on the 199 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 3: world stage. You know, the Democrats always love to say, oh, 200 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 3: if Donald trum had won, we would have World War iiie. 201 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: But look at the facts he became president. The world 202 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: actually got safer, our position in the world was stronger, 203 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: and so everything was actually clicking on all cylinders for 204 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: America until some virus got leaked. 205 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 2: Out of a lab in Mouhan. And yes, we now 206 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: know it was leaked out of a lab in Mohan. 207 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: And so that's the only thing you can say about 208 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 3: his presidency unless you want to get into the stupid 209 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: narrative stuff from the political left, which I just don't 210 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 3: bother engaging in because they just want to level accusations 211 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: so they can accomplish their agenda. That's what they do, 212 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 3: I think. But you look at energy exploration in our country, 213 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 3: securing the border, and I also stay another big one, 214 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 3: going in and cleaning out the federal agencies. You have 215 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: somebody in Donald Trump who is clear now elements of 216 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 3: our government were weaponized against him, slow walking his agenda, 217 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 3: demonizing him in the press, leaking to the press and 218 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: to them, to the Democrat political establishment, and some of 219 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 3: the those outside groups. They were working to undermine his 220 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 3: presidency the entire time. You're going to need a president 221 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 3: with who's mission minded to go in there and clean 222 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 3: that stuff out, because it's not just about President Trump 223 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 3: and his presidency. It's about the future of the country. 224 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 3: If they'll do that to him, they'll do that to 225 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 3: Ron DeSantis, they'll do it to Tutor Dixon, they'll do 226 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 3: it to anybody else. 227 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: That's what I've tried to explain to people. The next 228 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: Republican will be just as viciously attacked. If you look 229 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: at his record, a lot of the things that he 230 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: did were bipartisan. You look at the USMCA, you look 231 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: at I mean at the time, even Operation Warp Speed, 232 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: you look at the First Step Back. All of these 233 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: things were very bipartisan, and he was able to accomplish 234 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: more than most presidents have. And like you said, he 235 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: kept his promises, but he was so viciously attacked by 236 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: the media. I have folks that are in both camps 237 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: that are saying, but we don't think the Republican can 238 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: win because they obviously think that there's too much baggage 239 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump, that people have attacked him relentlessly that 240 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: he can't come back from that. On the flip side, 241 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: you mentioned COVID coming from the lab, and over the 242 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: weekend or late last week, I think it was Minnesota 243 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: that came out and said they're going to pass a 244 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: law that you can't say certain things, which is absolutely 245 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: unconstitutional and you can be held accountable if you have misinformation. 246 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: And one of those things is that COVID came from 247 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: a lab. But then the flip side of that, I've 248 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: had people say, well, DeSantis is just the other side 249 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: of that. I've actually had people say to me, Dysantis 250 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: is what everybody thought Donald Trump would be. But it's 251 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: really happening with DeSantis because you look at some of 252 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: the things that he's done. He went after the liquor 253 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: license of a hotel in Miami. Now I don't know 254 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: that he was able to get the liquor license, but 255 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: they had a drag show. He said he was going 256 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: to take the liquor license because of this. He said 257 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: that it was against the law. And I've got some 258 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: Republicans who are saying to me, I'm afraid that once 259 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: you start getting that deeply involved in private businesses, that 260 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: you're going too far. What do you say to. 261 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: That, Well, a couple things. One with respect to the 262 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 3: liquor license situation. I think what their angle was, what 263 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: the governor's office was saying, is that you couldn't bring 264 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: miners into an establishment like that, and because they were 265 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: serving alcohol at the same time, you were actually endangering 266 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 3: the minor. I think that's the path that they were 267 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 3: trying to go. There is a way to get there, 268 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 3: but it's pretty difficult. Look, my position is you have 269 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 3: to hold the left accountable. If you have companies that 270 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 3: are left wing ie Disney, who now we all know 271 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: are literally trying to seek their own political agenda into 272 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: all of their media and all of their their entertainment. 273 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 3: If they then want to use their voice to go 274 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 3: against state government and state government, should you know, do 275 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 3: a wrapper against their risks if they try to step 276 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 3: out of line, not to put them at a disadvantage. 277 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 3: Of other businesses. But let's be very clear, Disney had 278 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: a special dispensation that put them ahead of Universe, that 279 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: put them ahead of Lego Land here in Florida. So 280 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 3: if you're going to try to use your corporate power, frankly, 281 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 3: to lie about the governor and the legislature's parental Choice 282 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 3: and education parental rights and Education bill, then yeah, why 283 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: do we give in you a special taxing district. I 284 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 3: think that's about the end of where you take that 285 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 3: kind of battle. On a broader perspective, we as Republicans, 286 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: we have to be careful. We want to respect rights, 287 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 3: obviously we do. We respect free speech, We want everybody 288 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 3: to live in harmony and peace, but we also have 289 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 3: to understand the game that's being lost against us. You 290 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 3: have activist groups who are challenging these corporations. You have 291 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 3: employees who are being organized politically, who are pushing these 292 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 3: the C suite to make these statements and do these 293 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 3: various things. And then you have these corporations and turning 294 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 3: their eyes and starting to go after the political environment 295 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 3: in various states. 296 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: So why not go after that? Actually, what you're talking about, 297 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: why as governor? Why not? And even in the federal government, 298 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: why not go after that these banks that are saying 299 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: you will be deplatformed, all these places that are threatening 300 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: businesses to be deplatformed and really taking away that ability 301 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: for capitalism Because my opinion, and I've heard a lot 302 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: of people say, this is gosh. If you start to 303 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: go woke, if you start to do what bud Light 304 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: has done, or Alta or Disney, then capitalism could take 305 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: care of that because people will say, well, wait a minute, 306 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to pay fifteen thousand dollars a week 307 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: to go to Disney. If you're going to tell my 308 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: kids that they should do this, this, and this. But 309 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: we're going after individual businesses, why not go after those 310 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: platforms that say you must do this or you no 311 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: longer get to bank. Why not go after that? 312 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 3: Actually, I think that's a good point. It's something at 313 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: the federal level we're starting to look at. I'm actually 314 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 3: on the ESG Working Group where we're digging into these 315 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 3: various issues and whether that's raining in the SEC who's 316 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,119 Speaker 3: trying to push all this stuff through rulemaking. It's pretty insidious. 317 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 3: You have SEC Chairman and Gary Ginsler, who's creating all 318 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 3: these rules out of thin air Congress never gave him 319 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: the ability to do it, to force Corporate America to 320 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 3: disclose all these actions, some of which the Wold corporations 321 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 3: are pushing forward. And it's because the Wold corporations are 322 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 3: pushing it. They're saying everybody has to be a part 323 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 3: of this game. And that's the stuff at the federal 324 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 3: level we're trying to unwind and say, no, you can't 325 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 3: do that. You have the state of material things. You 326 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 3: have to be focused, frankly on your fiduciary responsibility, which 327 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 3: is earning money for your shareholders, et cetera. I think 328 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 3: if you go to this whole thing about people being deplatformed, 329 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 3: that's another area, especially in a financial system, where at 330 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 3: the federal level we have to engage in that because 331 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 3: you are hampering and you're causing damage to interstate commerce. 332 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 3: I think that's the appropriate use of law. Or you 333 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 3: go back in and you clearly lay out what the 334 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 3: rules of the roads are of the road are that 335 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 3: the fiduciary responsibility absolutely matters first, second, in the third, 336 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 3: and this novel, ridiculous concept of stakeholder capitalism makes no 337 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,239 Speaker 3: sense at all because what you end up doing is 338 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 3: having a company, get off the main mission and get 339 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 3: into these other areas where they actually hurt their business model. 340 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 3: Disney has hurt themselves in this stuff. People have not 341 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 3: been subscribing to Disney Plus. I was a Disney Plus subscriber. 342 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 3: I canceled my subscription subscription. A lot of families did. 343 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 3: We all saw what happened with bud Light. Now the 344 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 3: other person is now on leave or whatever the case 345 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 3: is going on. You mentioned Delta Nike. Nike's gonna have 346 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 3: that problem too, because there are a lot of people saying, 347 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 3: I'm not giving you guys like money if you're going 348 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 3: to shove this stuff down our throat. I think it 349 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 3: does work, but you've got to have Republican politicians who 350 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 3: point this stuff out and do everything they can from 351 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 3: a legal perspective to set the playing field correctly and 352 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 3: not allow the radical left to use our constitution and 353 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 3: to use our capitalist system under mine. 354 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I think there's so much behind the scenes 355 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: that people don't see. And I think sometimes when we 356 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: say we'll go after one individual and we don't go 357 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: after the CD under belly, then it continues to happen 358 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: and people don't realize it. And I think This is 359 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: even happening on a greater level. When you talk about 360 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: activism and groups that are fighting. You have school choice groups, 361 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: some school choice groups, some school choice activists have had 362 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: these people that go after them. I know one person 363 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: who has someone that goes after him on all of 364 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: his social media, so they go, you know, PayPal. Do 365 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: you know that this person does this and they're an 366 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: activist and they've been deeplatformed personally from cash app, from PayPal, 367 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: from all of the online payment systems. And he's like, 368 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: my life has been totally destroyed by these people, and 369 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,479 Speaker 1: I want to be able to say you can't do this. 370 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: You cannot force people to deplatform someone because of their 371 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: political views. Do you think that's something that can happen, 372 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: because I think it's I mean, it's just vihoilating Republicans 373 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: and conservatives. 374 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 2: I think so, and I think there's a pathway to 375 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 2: get there. 376 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 3: The thing to be careful about is now is the 377 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 3: arm of government being used to decide which company is good, 378 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 3: which company is bad. Which is why I say you 379 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 3: have to in a lot of respects reset the playing 380 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 3: field of what is a fiduciary standard. I think that's 381 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: the right place to land, because then if you clearly 382 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 3: state out what the fiduciary standard is, whether it's federal 383 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 3: law or state law. Franklin think you should be in 384 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 3: both places, then it puts the companies on notice that 385 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 3: you actually have to do what's in the best interests 386 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 3: of the company and not using the power, the corporate 387 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 3: power to wield against your political opponents. This is one 388 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 3: of these things where you know, Republicans, we're late to 389 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 3: the game on this. We're figuring all this stuff out 390 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 3: on the fly during COVID nineteen. Meanwhile, the radical left, 391 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 3: they have been positioning themselves to do these things. You 392 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 3: have somebody like AOC who basically said that, oh, it's 393 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 3: great that Tucker car And lost his job deep platform 394 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 3: he works. I think that's insidious and reprehensible. Our country 395 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 3: relies on people being able to speak their mind and 396 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 3: have their opinions and have their beliefs and have it respected, 397 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 3: regardless if you agree or not. 398 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: I would argue that a lot of this technology stuff, 399 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 1: we're late to the game, even when it comes to 400 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: ground game and elections and all of that. I would 401 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: say that we're just figuring out what Silicon Valley has 402 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: known and been helping the Democrats with for a long time. 403 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: But I want to before I let you go, I 404 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: want to go to something else because I know Joe 405 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: Biden announced his run for presidency. You know, he had 406 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: to pre record it because obviously it's the struggle to 407 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: get through three minutes for Joe Biden. So he pre 408 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: recorded it, and he went after Maga Republicans hard, and 409 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: he went after saying that, you know, they're making it 410 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: harder for people to vote. All of these belooney statements. 411 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: He really didn't have anything, nothing pro Biden, nothing I've 412 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: done this. It was all against what he called Republicans, 413 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: the new boogeyman. What's your response to that. 414 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 3: I think Joe Biden's terrible at a job personally, he 415 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 3: sucks as a president. So this is all he's got 416 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 3: and his new code word of maga Republicans, Like I 417 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 3: guess I'm a magro Republican, I'm a tea Party Republican, 418 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 3: whatever you want to say. But the truth is, Maga Republicans, 419 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 3: we're the ones who are actually fighting for the soul 420 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 3: of America. We don't want an America where you have 421 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 3: elements of our government suppressing free speech. We don't want 422 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 3: in America where the Treasury Department is going to be 423 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 3: looking in your bank account seeing how you spend your money. 424 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 3: We don't want in America with eighty thousand more IRS 425 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 3: agents who are frankly going after middle income Americans, making 426 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 3: sure people who are in the gig economy are issued 427 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 3: ten ninety nine and then going after all their money. 428 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 3: We don't want that. We don't want in America where 429 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 3: our borders wide open, and Ftannael's killing eighty thousand people 430 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 3: a year in our country, and you have young girls 431 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 3: being sold into six slavery. Those are the things that 432 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 3: we don't We want a free flowing economy, We want 433 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 3: people to be respected and for tolerance to run in 434 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 3: our country. We want to live in harmony and peace. 435 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 3: But the reason why he can't say any of those 436 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 3: things in his entry video is because he doesn't believe them. 437 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 3: You see, Joe Biden believes in America where his radical 438 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 3: kook staffers at the White House, they're the ones who 439 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 3: decide for everybody else and for the young voters in 440 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 3: America who watch TikTok and get caught up with these 441 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 3: influencers who frankly don't even know what they're talking about. 442 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 3: Understand that Joe Biden and the radical left, they don't 443 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 3: want you to decide things for yourself. They want you 444 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 3: to sit down and listen and be told what to do. 445 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 3: Republicans want a society where your choices are your own, 446 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 3: and you live and you live by your choices, and 447 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 3: you earn money and you earn prosperity and you have 448 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 3: a flourishing life. 449 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned tolerance and peace, and they're pushing that, 450 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: but your own family has experienced the intolerance of the left. 451 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: You're a black American, your wife is a white American. 452 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: That for some reason seems to be an issue with them. 453 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. 454 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 3: It's actually kind of interesting because they swear that they're 455 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 3: the ones who are fighting for everybody's rights, but then 456 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: at the same time they get upset about my marital situation. 457 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 3: I don't really get into that, because if you start 458 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 3: to look at the country, you're seeing a lot more 459 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 3: mixed marriages in the country. Everybody sees it. And a 460 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: lot of these young kids that we talk about, they 461 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 3: go to school with black kids, white kids, Hispanic kids. 462 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 3: At their age, they don't even engage in this stuff. 463 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 3: But it is the political class that tries to make 464 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 3: it an issue. It's these people who are these political 465 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 3: influencers on the left who try to say, oh, see 466 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 3: he's not really black because look at his wife. I 467 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 3: would actually tell those people that they wouldn't say it 468 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 3: to my safe my face, because if they actually met 469 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 3: me in public and saw me, they would be like, nah, 470 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 3: I don't think I'm gonna talk to him. 471 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 2: You know, I'm just being honest. 472 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 3: It's just they just wouldn't do it personally. They like 473 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 3: to do it on Twitter where nobody knows who they are. 474 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 3: They high behind, you know, some fictitious name whatever. But 475 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 3: I don't really care about what they say. I look 476 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 3: at what happens when I deal with people, you know, 477 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 3: people in the country. We're large, we're good to each other. 478 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 3: People just want to be respected and they just want 479 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 3: to live in peace. And I think that that's the 480 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 3: America that I want to see, you know. And one 481 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 3: last thing I'll say, and you mentioned it a while ago, 482 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 3: but I'm gonna go back for Republicans who are concerned 483 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 3: about who's going to be our nominee and what is 484 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 3: this going to mean? Understand, we have to get in 485 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 3: the game. And the real game is the Democrats support 486 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 3: their candidate no matter what. Like I said, John Fetterman's 487 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 3: in the US Senate and they knew that man was 488 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 3: not capable of doing the job, but they wanted his vote. 489 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 3: When our nominating process is done, I'm supporting Donald Trump. 490 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 3: Where one party, everybody has to get on board and 491 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 3: get the job done because it's about the country. It's 492 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 3: not about your feelings, it's not about who you think 493 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 3: you would like.
