1 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: On this episode of news World, I'm joined by members 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: of my Inner Circle Club for a fascinating conversation about 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: a wide range of issues and topics on their minds. 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: We hold these regular video conference calls so that we 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: can have an honest discussion about what is happening in 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: America today. I find it extraordinarily helpful to me personally 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: and helping think through the issues that are facing us. 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: So I hope you'll find this episode of Newts World informative, 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: and if you like to become a member of my 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: Inner Circle Club, please go to newts Inner Circle dot 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: com and sign up for a one or two year membership. 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: Today I was thinking a lot today about this particular conversation, 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: and I realize that they're so many things going on. 14 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: You have the whole question about Afghanistan, how the decisions 15 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: were made, the withdrawal occurred, the whole failure on the 16 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: part of many people to honor the thirteen Americans who 17 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: died during the withdrawal, all sorts of questions on just Afghanistan. 18 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: Then you have the president's unusual behavior on nine to 19 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: eleven in going to all the right places but apparently 20 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: saying nothing, which is kind of odd when you look 21 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: at some of the pictures of everybody else is giving 22 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: a talk and he's just kind of standing there, although 23 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: apparently in New York at one point he was yelling 24 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: at people. And then you have the development of the 25 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: legislative side, where the Democrats have made a desperate effort 26 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: to keep their members and the Republicans out of town. 27 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: The Senate's finally coming back today and the House will 28 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: come back next week for only two weeks. And I 29 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: think this is partly because they know that if the 30 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: Republicans were here, the number of questions they'd be asking, 31 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: for example, about Afghanistan, would be kind of amazing. But 32 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: in addition, they really don't want us to know what's 33 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: in the legislation. There was this amazing interview with the 34 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: Democrat chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, who said that, 35 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: first of all, that it's going to be a three 36 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: trillion dollar tax increase. Now that will be by far 37 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: the largest tax increase in American history, much bigger than 38 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: anything in the Civil War, much bigger than World War Two, 39 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: and he was very honest. It's kind of a weird 40 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: interview with the New York Times where he said he 41 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: was not going to release most of the details because 42 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: the earlier people knew about it, the more opposition there'd be. 43 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: So he would like to have the House to vote 44 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: before they know what's in it. And then he went 45 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: on to say, and this is him, not me. He 46 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: went on to say that he wants to try to 47 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: escort the entire Congress and the American people down the aisle, 48 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: apparently without knowing what are the details of the three 49 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: trillion dollars of tax increases. And I think he's probably 50 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: right at one level, because what we have heard so 51 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: far is a bill that can't possibly pass. Just the 52 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: damage it does to family farms guarantees that a number 53 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: of Democratic senators are going to have a very hard 54 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: time voting for it. And there are all sorts of 55 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: other things. And if you're trying to raise three trillion dollars, 56 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: you're going to hurt a lot of people and a 57 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: lot of industries. And I think the more people learn 58 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: about the bill, the weaker it's going to get. The 59 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: Democrats have this log jam where they haven't passed the 60 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: infrastructure bill, and the left won't let them pass it 61 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: until they pass the big government socialist bill that Bernie 62 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Sanders wrote for three point five trillion, but that's the 63 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: bill that has three trillion dollars a tax increases, so 64 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: it may never pass. And if it doesn't pass, does 65 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: that then mean that the Left blocks the infrastructure bill. 66 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: Then they've got the continuing resolution because at the end 67 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: of September, the fiscal year runs out, and you have 68 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: to pass a continuing resolution just to keep the government open. 69 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: And the question is whether they can get the votes 70 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: to actually continue the government. And then on top of that, 71 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: the debt ceiling is expired and they have to pass 72 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: a new debt ceiling because otherwise the US government can't 73 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: borrow any money. And everybody knows that this would be 74 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: the equivalent of a massive heart attack. The idea that 75 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: the United States government could not meet its debts would 76 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: be stunning, And so the pressure is enormous, and the 77 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: Republicans have said flatly they're not going to help as 78 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: long as the three point five trillion dollars big government 79 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: socialist bill is still in play, because they don't see 80 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: any reason why they should raise a death ceiling to 81 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: create the space for Bernie Sanders have a bill which Bernie, 82 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: by the way, regards as moderate. He was on TV 83 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: Sunday saying, you know, the original bill was six trillion 84 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: dollars and we've already compromised down to three and a 85 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: half trillion. So I don't understand why Joe Mansion wants 86 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: to go down to one and a half trillion, because 87 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: we've already given up all that extra money that we 88 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: wanted to spend, which gives you some sense of where 89 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: they would go if they could get away with him. Now, 90 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: I have written a paper arguing that this is the 91 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: greatest opportunity the Republicans have had in many years, maybe 92 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: in a lifetime, to define the new Democratic Party as 93 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: the big government socialist Party, which is what I think 94 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: it is. In my paper, I mentioned both the House 95 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: page number in the Congressional Record and the Senate page number, 96 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,679 Speaker 1: and go and see for yourself. Every single Democrats senator 97 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: voted yes on a three point five trillion dollars big 98 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: government socialist bill written by Bernie Sanders, and every Democrat 99 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: in the House voted yes on a three point five 100 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: trillion dollars big government socialist bill. Now, they all want 101 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: to go back home and say they're moderates, but I 102 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: deliberately went and found the Congressional record because I want 103 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: to be able to say, look, you know, it's time 104 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: that they told the truth. Virtually every Democrat who's in 105 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: office today is a big government socialist. The old moderate 106 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: Democratic Party has gone. It may get reconstituted, and you 107 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: may start seeing genuine moderates run against the tax increases 108 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: and against the big spending bills, particularly because the inflation 109 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: rate is going up and most Americans believe that passing 110 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: a big spending bill on top of an inflationary environment 111 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: makes no sense at all. So there's pretty massive position 112 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: to passing the bill already before they even know all 113 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: the details, and that opposition is going to grow as 114 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: people learn just how bad it is. So I think 115 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: it's an amazing period. I'm trying to get all of 116 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: my friends to describe it honestly as big government socialism. 117 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,119 Speaker 1: I think if the Republicans could be disciplined and could 118 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: focus on describing both the bill and the people who 119 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: voted for the bill as big government socialists. We have 120 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: a poll that we did in our American Majority Project 121 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: that shows that by fifty nine to sixteen, people favor 122 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: free market capitalism over big government socialism. I'll think about 123 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: that fifty nine to sixteen, So we have an opportunity 124 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: here too. I think Penn, the left wing Democrats is 125 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: who they really are, and we have proof in the 126 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: congressional record that every single House and Senate member was 127 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: a left wing Democrat when it mattered, when it was 128 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: their votes. So it's a very fascinating, very complicated period, 129 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: and I look forward to your questions. Our first question 130 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: is from Pam from Iowa. Pam wants to know after 131 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: the Afghanistan disaster, what should the US do now about 132 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: the danger created in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Well, 133 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: I think we have to recognize something which even the 134 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: Bush administration refused to recognize. I was involved in arguments 135 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: in two thousand and two, and I kept trying to 136 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: say to them, these people are our enemies. They're not confused. 137 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: And I thought President Bush's statements at nine to eleven 138 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: were frankly, really revealing about his willingness to draw a 139 00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: comparison between Americans who have extreme views and the Taliban. 140 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: The fact is, our enemies don't just have extreme views. 141 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: They killed three thousand Americans. They had an organized plot. 142 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: It was apparently helped by some elements of the Saudi 143 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: Arabian government. It was planned in Afghanistan, and we still 144 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: have people, including of course the entire Biden administration, who 145 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: refused to admit that we are in They talk about 146 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: the Long War. Well, the Long War maybe two hundred years. 147 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: Trusky once said, you may care about war, but war 148 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: cares about you. And I think that that's what we're 149 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: up against. And so I think we need to rethink 150 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: our entire strategy and recognize that's a global war. It 151 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: involves people in Nigeria, for example, with Bokaham, it involves 152 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: people in Somalia without Shabab, It involves people in Yemen, 153 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: people in Saudi Arabia, but it also involves people remember 154 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: the two massacres in Paris in the last few year. 155 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: Wanted a restaurant and wanted a magazine. In the last 156 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: year in France, we've had a schoolteacher beheaded for having 157 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: said things that his students decided we're anti Muslim and 158 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: so they wanted to set us an example. We had 159 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: a priest who I think was in his eighties who 160 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: was killed by Muslims in France, and so we have 161 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: to recognize this as a worldwide phenomenon, and that there 162 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: is a faction of Islamists who want to in fact 163 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: destroy the West and establish a worldwide caliphate, and they 164 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: are prepared to kill to do it. And I think 165 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: that to have any attitude other than we're going to 166 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: have to find a way to sustain very long term 167 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: conflict on a global basis against a pretty sophisticated enemy. Remember, 168 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: after twenty years of war, a seventh century tribal faction 169 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: defeated the most powerful nation in the twenty first century. 170 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: We lost, and you can tell we lost because the 171 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: Taliban's in charge of cobble and we're not. So I 172 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: think we need a serious, honest conversation as a country, 173 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: and we need to recognize that on the one hand, 174 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: we have to deal with China and Russia, and on 175 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: the other hand, we have to deal with what will 176 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: be I think a very aggressive resurgence of Slamist fanaticism. 177 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: Because from their perspective, they're winning. This is a great 178 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: victory for them. Biden gave them eighty five billion dollars 179 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: in weapons made the Taliban and the largest weapons merchants 180 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: in the world, and they're going to send those weapons 181 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: all around the world to the Philippines to Indonesia, to 182 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: Pakistan to Nigeria, and I think we didn't see the 183 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: end of anything this summer. We saw the beginning of 184 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: a new phase, and it'd be I think, a very 185 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: painful and very dangerous phase. Our next question comes from 186 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: Tom says he continues to be amazed by Pelosi's dictatorial 187 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: command at the House. As a former distinguished Speaker of 188 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: the House, can you shed some light as to the 189 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: specific intimidation tactics Nancy Pelosi is using to keep the 190 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: so called moderate dens in light. Well, let me say 191 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: I share his amazement. I didn't think it was possible 192 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: to pass insane left wing legislation with a four or 193 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: five of the margin. And so as a technical feat, 194 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: you have to have some grudging respect for Pelosi, who 195 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: is probably the toughest dictator ever to run the House. 196 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: So we've had very tough speakers before. But I think 197 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: part of it is people are just playing afraid of her. 198 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: They know that she's utterly, totally ruthless, They know that 199 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: she could mobilize all of the left. Years ago, I 200 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: was helping Jack Kemp and we were proposing that public 201 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: housing could be earned by the residents through sweat equity, 202 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: that if they took care of the house, and they 203 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: took care of the neighborhood, and they went out and 204 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: were that over a five or ten or fifteen year period, 205 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: they could actually earn a property interest in their public housing. 206 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: And it was an interesting idea. We had a very 207 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: funny moment where Barney Frank got up and he said, 208 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: you realize with some of the public housing in New 209 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 1: York City that if you earned the right to your apartment, 210 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: it could be worth a million dollars and you wouldn't 211 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: be poor anymore. And he seemed to think that was 212 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: a terrible idea, that we'd actually come up with an 213 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: idea that allowed people to earn the ability to rise 214 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: from poverty. But I've talked to a leading Democrat who said, 215 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, I think Kemp has a big idea and 216 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: I think it's probably worth trying. And I said, well, 217 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: you know, if you would vote for it, you would 218 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: really help change the whole approach. And he said, look, 219 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: I currently have no opponent, so I'm planning to go 220 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: to my place in the Bahamas and have a really 221 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: nice summer. Now, if I vote for Jack's idea, the 222 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: Public Housing Union will guarantee that I have an opponent 223 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: and I'll win, but I'll have to raise about a 224 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: half million dollars and I won't be able to go 225 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: to the Bahamas. So I have to ask myself is 226 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: it worth three months of my life and a half 227 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: million dollars? And while I think it's a good idea, 228 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: I don't think it's that good an idea. And it 229 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: kind of gave me a sense of the internal mechanics 230 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party that between the unions, the radical left, 231 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: the news media, and the ability of people like Pelosi 232 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: to raise enormous amounts of money out of people like 233 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: George Soros, they have a capacity to punish you that 234 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: nobody on the Republican side could come anywhere close to matching. 235 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: And they have a natural herd instinct. I mean, people 236 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: need to remember that the Democratic Party's natural behavior is 237 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: much more like a herd that work together, and the 238 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: Republicans tend to really be individualistic. So herds have all 239 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: sorts of internal pressures to stick together. And I think that, 240 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: combined with sheer fear and with Nancy Pelosi's personal ruthlessness, 241 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: is what has kept them in line. But it is 242 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: an absolutely amazing achievement, mister speaker. From what I understand, 243 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party has scared to death the president Biden 244 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: will have to leave office. That leaves Carmela as I 245 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: call her, will have to move in to fill his place, 246 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: and thus the vice president will no longer be the 247 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: deciding vote in the Senate. So my question is what 248 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: is your take on the problem the Senate Democrat's face. 249 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: Should Biden resign? Well, now, that actually wouldn't work that 250 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: way because you would have the new president, just as 251 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: happened with Nixon and Ford Whenon resigned and Ford became 252 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: the new president. Ford then recommended Nelson Rockefeller and the 253 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: House approved it, so Rockefeller became vice president. So I 254 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: think there might be a thirty day break, but they 255 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: would nominate somebody who the House would agree to approve, 256 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: and that person would then become the vice president under 257 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment. So you would be right back 258 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: where we are now. I think it's very hard to 259 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: imagine that Biden is going to be pushed out of office. 260 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: I think, you know, the entire team around him has 261 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: a huge vested interest, starting with Ron Klein, the chief 262 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: of staff. They have a huge vested interest in Biden, 263 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: and they're not going to give that up easily or 264 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: walk off lightly. What do you think the fallout is 265 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: going to be from the vaccine mandate from the president? 266 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: What will be the political fallout from that? Hell, let's 267 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: shake out. Well. I think first of all, what you're 268 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: likely to see happen in the next few days is 269 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: the development of class lawsuits in which every business in 270 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: the country joins a class which provides them with legal 271 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: protection against the federal government because they'll be in the 272 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: middle of the lawsuit. If I'm talking now with several 273 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: attorneys who are developing a class action lawsuits that will 274 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: be open to every single business owner in the country. 275 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: And I think people are just furious because one, it's unconstitutional. Two, 276 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: it is a level of power that resembles an absolute 277 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: kingship rather than the president United States. Three, if you 278 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: own a company or you're managing a company, you don't 279 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: want to get in a fight with your own employees, 280 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: frankly under the hippo rules. So I don't see how 281 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: they can enforce this because people have the right to 282 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: come in and say, you know, I'm not allowed to 283 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: take the shots because of my health situation, and you're 284 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: not allowed to ask them what their health situation is. 285 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: It's just utterly stupid Unbiden's part, but typical of Biden's 286 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: lack of any kind of depth or any kind of 287 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: serious thought. And then finally, I think that what we're 288 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: going to discover is that it's all totally corrupt. As 289 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: the Daily Mail put it in their headline, Biden declares 290 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: war on eighty million Americans. And my first thought was 291 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: he hasn't got the guts to fight the Taliban, but 292 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't mind fighting Americans. He's not going to apply 293 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: any of these rules to illegal immigrants. And apparently now 294 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: he's already cut a deal with the Postal Union, so 295 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: the postal Union is not going to have to have 296 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: the vaccination. So your local postman or postwoman who happens 297 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: to come by your house every single day, they may 298 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: be carriers of COVID, because after all, Biden didn't want 299 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: to take on the union. Well what does that tell you. 300 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: I think this is a bigger mistake for him politically 301 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: than Afghanistan was, because Afghanistan, well, it's a tragedy and 302 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: it's horrible and it breaks every American tradition of not 303 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: leaving people behind, and it was done with such a 304 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: high level of stupidity that the Secretary of Defense and 305 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: Secretary of State and sharing the joint chiefs are to 306 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: be fired. But having said that, this is a direct 307 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: assault on every person, and we now have hospitals that 308 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: are saying they can't deliver babies because their nurses are 309 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: all quitting. And I think the degree to which the 310 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: Biden people are totally unscientific, totally political, and totally hypocritical 311 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: is just astonishing. And I think this is going to 312 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: chew him up for months to come, because I think 313 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: people just think he has grossly overreached. The president United 314 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: States doesn't have the authority to dictate to you without 315 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: a congressional law, without any hearings, without any scientific background, 316 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: and what he's doing, I think is extraordinarily dangerous. If 317 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: he can do this, what else can he do? I mean, 318 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: if he gets up and feels grumpy on Monday, what's 319 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: he going to come down and dictate to the American 320 00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: people next good afternoon, nude? What is the likelihood senior 321 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: centrist Democrats? And I'm actually thinking about those that don't 322 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: hold political office that they panic and look to take 323 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: action prior to the twenty twenty two election. What is 324 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: the probability and possibility of this happening, and what might 325 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: those actions be. I cannot believe the Democrat leaders believe 326 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: the election will go well for them. What about self survival. 327 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: They are desperately trying to pass what I've called the 328 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: Corrupt Politicians Act because I think they down deep knowe 329 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: if they can't rig the elections, they're gonna get wiped out. 330 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: I mean they're drifting now towards a forty or fifty 331 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: seed loss in the House and almost certainly losing the Senate. 332 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: And this is part of why I think big government 333 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: socialism is such an important concept. The more the American 334 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: public realizes that the old Democratic Party's gone and has 335 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: been replaced by a big government socialist party, the more 336 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: the country is likely to repudiate them, both in the 337 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: House and the Senate. And I think their only answer 338 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: is to be able to steal the election, and that's 339 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: why they're so desperately trying to write some kind of 340 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: election law change. I think twenty some states now have 341 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: already had election reforms, all of them in the direction 342 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: of requiring that you be able to identify yourself, which, 343 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: by the way, about eighty seven percent the American people, 344 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: including a vast majority of African Americans and Latinos, believe 345 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: that you should have to identify yourself. They believe everybody 346 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: should be allowed to vote once, but that you actually 347 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: don't know who the person is, and that you shouldn't 348 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: have people who randomly show up and maybe vote five 349 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: or ten times. Why didn't we bomb the four billion 350 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: dollars worth of planes, hunds and armaments. In terms of 351 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: the planes, we could also just have flown them out. 352 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: I mean they're airplanes, you know, you send in a 353 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: pilot and you come home. But normally, historically, what we 354 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: would have done, and this is a real condemnation of 355 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: the Pentagon, historically, we would have gone in there and 356 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: we would have loaded up all that equipment and taken 357 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: it home. If you go back and look at the 358 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: end of the First Golf War, there's a book by 359 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: the general who was in charge called Moving Mountains, because 360 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: after the war was over, we had put so much 361 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: equipment into the desert in nineteen ninety one that he 362 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: had to bring it all back home, and they kept 363 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: track of all they knew how many tanks they had, 364 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: they knew how many hum vs they had, they knew 365 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: how many artillery pieces they had. The Pentagon has grown 366 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: so sloppy now, and the senior command is so political 367 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: and I think so lacking in serious war fighting attitudes. 368 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: I find it embarrassing. I find it very worrying when 369 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: you start thinking about China or Russia, or North Korea 370 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 1: or Iran, because I just think we have a class 371 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: now of political generals who are very dangerous for US. 372 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: Since Critical race theory, the sixteen nineteen Project, and other 373 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: leftist programs are pushing obviously racist policies on Americans, why 374 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: aren't Americans fighting back using the Civil Rights Act of 375 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four and other civil rights legislation. I think 376 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: that's a really good question, and I suspect that there 377 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: might be grounds for a lawsuit based on that for people, 378 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: for example, in companies, whether they're being coerced into taking 379 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: these courses. I also think that you're seeing a huge 380 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: turnaround in terms of school boards and school board elections 381 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: and a level of activism at the local level we 382 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: haven't seen for many years. And a good friend of mine, 383 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: Adam Waldeck, is running a project called seventeen seventy six Action, 384 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: which takes on the sixteen nineteen and the critical race 385 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: theory head on. He recently had a thousand people at 386 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: an event in Loudon County, Virginia and is doing a 387 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: great job. You can go to seventeen seventy six Action 388 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: on the internet and you'll see the kind of things 389 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: they're doing. But I think actually what the left is 390 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 1: done by being so overtly racist is they have aroused 391 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: a countervailing attitude not just among whites, but a lot 392 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: of Latinos and Asian Americans and African Americans who are 393 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: disgusted at this idea that we should be divided up 394 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: into tribes by some liberal elite academic who has no 395 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: idea what they're talking about. Okay, we have another right 396 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: in question from Mary from Georgia. What should Republicans in 397 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: Congress do about all the online censorship? Oh? I think 398 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: that we should be advocating a bill that makes it 399 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: impossible for the oligarchs to censor people. I think that 400 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: it's just totally wrong. I mean, imagine that AT and 401 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: T or Verizon could listen into your phone call and 402 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: decide to cut you off, and I think they're so 403 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: clearly left wing, they're so clearly biased, that it's totally 404 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: wrong and it's a major problem for the country. Our 405 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: next question, it comes from Elliott from Massachusetts. I find 406 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: it difficult to discuss politics with my Democrat friends. Do 407 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: you have any tips on reasoning with them to win 408 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: the argument? First of all, I have to check out, 409 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: are you dealing with a person who's nuts, in which 410 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: case I recommend you not worry about it. They're not nuts. 411 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: I think the trick is to ask them constantly questions. 412 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: Don't argue with them, but ask them questions about things 413 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 1: they will have seen with their own eyes. Do they 414 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: think that it's okay that you have an open border 415 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: to the south with people coming in with COVID and 416 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: with criminal records? Do they think it's okay that we 417 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: left eighty five billion dollars behind in Afghanistan? And you know, 418 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: sometimes you have to go through five or six or 419 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: seven examples before they start to break down, Because the 420 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: first couple answers are going to be, well, if Biden 421 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: did for it, at least he's not Trump. Try to 422 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: get them engaged and figure out what their reality is 423 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: and what they're willing to concede as reality rather than 424 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: arguing ideology or a theory. Elizabeth from Florida writes in 425 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: what is your favorite memory from serving as Speaker of 426 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: the House? Well, that's a good question. I think it 427 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: may have been the morning I was sworn in. I 428 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: went over very early in the morning and went out 429 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: on the Speaker's balcony. This is about seven am, looking 430 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: down at them all down to Washington's Memorial and then Lincoln, 431 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 1: and I was thinking, here i am. I'm an army 432 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: brat born in Pennsylvania, grew up all over the world 433 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: with no particular money and a middle class family. And 434 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: the people of my district have given me the opportunity 435 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: to rep present them. And now the members of my 436 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: conference have asked me to be the speaker, and that 437 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: it's remarkable in America. And I thought of it much 438 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: like the army breath that I am. And I thought, 439 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, this is a change of command ceremony, and 440 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: I will be chaking over and someday in the future 441 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: I will be giving up the gavel and another change 442 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: of command ceremony, just like you do in the military, 443 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: where you come in, you do your job and you leave, 444 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: and I had this deep sense of patriotic duty and 445 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: that God had been very very good to me in 446 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: allowing me to stand up for what I believed in 447 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: and to work with so many good people to create 448 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: the first majority in forty years, and that I hoped 449 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: that I would be able to keep their faith and 450 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: to actually get things done that would be worthy of 451 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: the effort it had taken for us to take control. 452 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,959 Speaker 1: So that's probably the most profound memory I have of 453 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: the four years. I just want to ask all of 454 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: you to take seriously this idea of big government socialism 455 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: and try to talk to your friends about it, talk radio, 456 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: letters to the editor, people you know on Facebook or whatever. 457 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: I think if we could clearly get across that this 458 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: is a big government socialist still and that the Democrats 459 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: who voted for it, which is all of them, are 460 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: big government socialists, I think we could have a profound 461 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: effect on the future of America. And I don't know 462 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: any other single thing that would be as effective. So 463 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: I always find these inner circle lives helpful and they 464 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: remind me of what people are concerned about. And I 465 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: do urge you to reach out and tell your friends 466 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: about it and encourage them to join the Inner Circle 467 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: and at the same time I look forward to our 468 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: future get together.
