1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: On this episode of news World, we have a really 2 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: fascinating series of questions and comments from the members of 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: our inner circle. I think you're going to find it 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: very fascinating and you're going to find we cover the 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: water front, a wide range of issues and topics, and 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: some really smart people joined in, including my dear friend 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: former Governor John Engler of Michigan. Thank you everybody with 8 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: great questions this week. And let's start off with our 9 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: good friend Gay. Gay would like to know how all 10 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: of us use the canceling of the Doctor SEUs books 11 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: to our advantage. It might have been just a step 12 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: too far, and conservatives, they're all furious, I thought at 13 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: the time, and I just don't think it's true that 14 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: if you contrast getting rid of Doctor SEUs with building 15 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: the set Fort Pelosi, and you were to say, Okay, 16 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna have two sets of candidates. One set of 17 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: candidates wants to tear down the fence and protect Doctor SEUs. 18 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: The other set of candidates want to tear down Doctor 19 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: SEUs and protect the fence. My guess is that the 20 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: pro Sus anti fence people would win by huge margin. 21 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: And one of the things I hope that the House 22 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: Republicans will do, and I had urge all of you 23 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: to call your congressman and talk to him about it. Is. 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: I hope that they will introduce two bills, one to 25 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: protect doctor SEUs, the other to tear down the fence, 26 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: and under House rules, wants the bills of it in 27 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: there for a certain number of days. You can take 28 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: into what's called a discharge petition, and if members signed 29 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: the discharge petition, if he had two hundred and eighteen 30 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: to sign it, you then bring it to the floor. 31 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: Now we're five votes short, but out of all of 32 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: the Democrats who for election next year, we're beginning to 33 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: realize it that Nancy Polosi is going to beat them 34 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: because she's said having him walk the plank day after 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: day voting for crazy stuff. I think you would be 36 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: able to apply enough public pressure to get enough Democrats 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: to sign both on the Doctor's SEUs resolution and on 38 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: the fence resolution that both would have to come to 39 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: the floor and both would pass, and I think it 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: would drive home this enormous gap. I mean, I can't 41 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: remember anytime since the fight over slavery in the eighteen 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: sixties that we have had as big a division in 43 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: our interpretation of the world. I mean, if you think 44 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: mother and father exists and your competitor who refuses to 45 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: use mother and father because they're for gender neutral ters, 46 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: that's really a big gap. If you think two polos 47 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: two equals four and your competitor believes that numbers are 48 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: examples of cultural supremacy, that is a really big gap. 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we're getting into. And I 50 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: think it would be very helpful to have a series 51 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: of votes that give the Democrats a chance to prove 52 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: which side of that gap they're on. Chris says the 53 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: Contract with America helped win the House. If we wish 54 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: to overwhelm Democrats, we need a legislative agenda that will 55 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: gain traction for candidates. What do you think those initiatives 56 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: are and can the legislation be started so that when elected, 57 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 1: the mandate is pushed through. Well, let me say, first 58 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: of all, we just did a podcast which I think 59 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: is going to be available on Sunday with Kevin McCarthy, 60 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: the Republican leader who I think will almost certainly be 61 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: the next speaker in January of twenty twenty three. And 62 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: Kevin ran this last time on a commitment to America. 63 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: It was a variation on the contract. He thinks in 64 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: on the podcast that he thinks that having a set 65 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: of positive ideas actually was the reason that Remember, all 66 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: the Washington experts said that the House Republicans want to 67 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: lose probably fifteen or more seats. Instead they gained fifteen seats. 68 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: Huge shop to the Washington consulting class who were just 69 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: playing wrong. And Kevin believes it was two things, really 70 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: good recruiting women candidates, minority candidates, really strong candidates, and 71 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: second that they did have a commitment to America that 72 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: was positive. And think it's a little bit early to 73 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: fully define what it's going to be. I would think 74 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: it could include things like giving every parent the right 75 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: to take the school money and use it to get 76 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: their child to a school that will open. I mean, 77 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 1: I think the coming fight between the corrupt teachers Union 78 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: and all the rest of us is going to be 79 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: extraordinarily important. And if we're going to compete with China, 80 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: we have to educate our young people, and we're currently 81 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: not doing it. And the teachers Union in many ways 82 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: is the best ally the Chinese Communists have in the 83 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: inner cities. They're guaranteeing generation after generation that doesn't get 84 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: educated in the suburbs. They're now running schools that either 85 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: no one goes to school, or they're running schools where 86 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: they're taught things that are not true. The man examples 87 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: a good one. So I think that's one of the places. 88 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: I think that there's a whole project that Joe de 89 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: Sanis and I are working on about replacing the focus 90 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: on lifespan with a focus on health span, trying to 91 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: really put together and what we can do to make 92 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: sure you not only live a long time, but you 93 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: live healthy and well. As somebody pointed out, if you 94 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: have two seventy five year olds and one is playing 95 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: tennis and the others in a nursing home, which one 96 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 1: would you rather be? And I think that we're seeing 97 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: real breakthroughs in health span and in the ability to 98 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: have people live to be eighty or ninety and be 99 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: remarkably healthy, which, by the way, has huge implications for 100 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: the federal budget. I also think we're going to have 101 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: to have an enormous rethinking of adult education. Read an 102 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: article two or a few days ago about Kroger opening 103 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: up its first robotic fulfillment center in which virtually all 104 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: the work is done by robots. Well, that's going to 105 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: make obsolescence for a lot of marginally educated and marginally 106 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: skilled labor. And if they're going to have a decent future, 107 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to find ways to re educate people, 108 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: and we're gonna have to find ways to encourage entrepreneurship 109 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: so that you the maximum number of new jobs being 110 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: created that replace the lost jobs that automations going to 111 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: lead to. So I think there are a lot of things. 112 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: I do believe that the Republicans should develop a positive agenda, 113 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: and I do believe that we should take say the 114 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: top ten or twelve. We picked ten in two ten 115 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four, we had ten in the Contract 116 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: of America, and then we had a whole bunch of 117 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: secondary issues that we didn't list as a number. Something 118 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: like that should be done. I think for next year, 119 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: certainly we'll do be doing all weekend at GAIN three 120 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: sixty to help generate the ideas and to interview and 121 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: put on podcasts and in newsletters the kind of people 122 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: who have those kind of good ideas. Winston listens to 123 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: Newts World all the time, and he said, you said 124 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: in a podcast several months ago that the Democrat Party 125 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: works to win the election and the Republican Party works 126 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: to win a campaign. What does that mean and how 127 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: do we do that? Well, the Democrats have a clear 128 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: idea that if they have more votes on election day, 129 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: they win. So we focus on TV commercials, we focus 130 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: on lots of polling, etc. All of it built around 131 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: the campaign, not necessarily around the election. So, for example, 132 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: because of the way rules have changed over the last 133 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: twenty years, we have a lot of people in America 134 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: now who have voted by the middle of September. Well, 135 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: what does it mean if, in fact, your campaign is 136 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: focused on late October but half the audience has already voted. 137 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: The Democrats have also been brilliant at using what's called lawfare, 138 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: and lawfair is the idea that I'm going to change 139 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: the law in such a way that it gives me 140 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: an advantage. Essentially, It's what Stacy Abrams did brilliantly in Georgia, 141 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: and I think sometimes you know, if you have an 142 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: opponent who's really smart, it's worth studying them. And what 143 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: she did very methodically was reshape the environment in Georgia 144 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: with the active help of the Secretary of State who 145 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: has to have been one of the most gullible people 146 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. But nonetheless they pull it off, and 147 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: I think we have to realize they play a much 148 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: longer game than we do. They focus on culture to 149 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: set the terms of debate, then they focus on shaping 150 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: the actual vote turnout, changing the laws to help them, 151 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: and then finally they focus on the campaign. But the 152 00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: campaign is the last thing, not the first thing. Matt asks, 153 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: where do you think Hence fits into the Republican future 154 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: Vice president Pennce? You know, he's one of the eight 155 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: or ten people who could be the presidential nominee in 156 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. The fact that Fox picked him to 157 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: narrate the four part series on Russia Lubas's Life, which 158 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: is going to be a Fox Nation speaks very well 159 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: with Mike Chlis and I feel very close to the 160 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: Vice President. He's always been a friend. He actually sat 161 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: next to Callista when she was the chief clerk of 162 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: the Agriculture Committee and he was a freshman member. He 163 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: was so low ranking and they actually the last seat, 164 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: and so he was sitting basically right next to the 165 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: senior staff of the committee. But they have to know 166 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: each other very well in those two years, because it 167 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: has happened with me when I first went to Congress. 168 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: You know, you walk in, you don't know what's going on. 169 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: You go to the chief clerk and say, what is 170 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: this hearing about? How long is it going to last? 171 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: Are we going to have any votes? You really dependent 172 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: on the people who know what they're doing because you're 173 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: busy serving constituents, making speeches, running for reelection. So we 174 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: got to know like very well and have a very 175 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: long friendship. And I think that it's silly to think 176 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: the Republican Party is any kind of structural trouble. He 177 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: has people like Tom Gotten who's doing a great job 178 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,359 Speaker 1: right now on some very key issues. You have Governor DeSantis, 179 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: who did remarkably well at Seapack, and he came in 180 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: first when they had a pull without Trump, came a 181 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: second against Trump when they had a poll with Trump. 182 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: DeSantis is I think a superstar of the future. I 183 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: think he's a good example. I like Christy No very much. 184 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: I think that she has a calm, cheerful, pleasant presence 185 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: that frankly, the Republican Party needs a lot more of. 186 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: And so she's again there's some of you, I think 187 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: will be a real player. Mike Pompeo's a great Secretary 188 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: of State, a good friend of ours, plus have worked 189 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: with him. We both admire Michael Ott. And if we 190 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: got to do a situation where foreign policy in China 191 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: Iran suddenly became a central issue, Pompeo would be a 192 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: very formidable candidate for president. And I happen to know 193 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: he's wandering around the country getting to know people I 194 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: watched all over the country and he shows up. He 195 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: did a very good job today on Fox and somebody 196 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: we admire a great deal. Ted Cruz, smart, ambitious, tough, 197 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: really was number two candidate in twenty sixteen. He could 198 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: conceivably come back and do it again. So we're gonna 199 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: have tons of candidates, and one of them, if he 200 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: wants to be, will be vice president of pens Andrea 201 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: Sass How do we stop the HR five Equality Act? 202 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: And it's the act that would make mainstream beliefs about marriage, 203 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: biological facts about sex different. Sure, start by calling you 204 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: what it really is. It is the Gay and Transsexual 205 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: Superiority Act. It says that the values of being gay 206 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: and the values of being transactional dominate over Christianity, dominate 207 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: over Judeism, dominate over Islam, and if you're not prepared 208 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: to follow the rules, they can put you on jannel. 209 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: But it says nothing to do with equality. It has 210 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: to do with superiority based on sexual preferences. Even that 211 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: term can get you into a huge fight. I suspect 212 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: if I tweeted the wrong phrase, I would once again 213 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: be delisted because I wouldn't fit the Northern California Nutcape 214 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: model of what you're allowed to say. But the fact 215 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: is this is a remarkable effort. There's a legislative provision 216 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: in California right now, but they're trying to pass that 217 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: would abolish the right to have a boys and girls 218 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: section of a department store. You would not be allowed 219 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: to have a gender defined section period. Now. There is 220 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: a huge difference generally between what girls want to buy 221 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: at seven years of age and what boys want to buy, 222 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: and it seems to be more than just cultural. But 223 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: not in California, So I think you're seeing a whole 224 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: wave of this. You will notice that one of the 225 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: first things that the President Biden did was sight of 226 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: our Executive Order, which basically eliminated Title nine, which was 227 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: the key provision which had ensured that women would have 228 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: a place to have competitive sports. And now you have frankly, 229 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: states beginning to react and pass laws. The Mississippi, for example, 230 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: just abolished having anybody who is transsexual competing, because the 231 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: fact is transsexual males who have come through puberty are 232 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: going to consistently win in an athletic competition with females. 233 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: And it's a very big problem. But it's all driven 234 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: by this notion of superiority for left wing ideas, no 235 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: matter how crazy, and a willingness to use the government 236 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: to enforce those ideas, even if it goes against your 237 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: religious beliefs. Ernie from California wants to know do we 238 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: have any clue who's behind redefining this gender movement because 239 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: it seems to have a lot of power on the 240 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: other side, I think you just have to define it 241 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: honestly and accurately. They're not seeking equality, they're seeking superiority. 242 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: They're not seeking volunteerism or using the government to coerce people. 243 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: They are so rabid they can't even have a discussion 244 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: about it because they get too emotional, they're too threatened 245 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: by the discussion I mean, it's a very, very long 246 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: way from the riots in the mid sixties in New York, 247 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: which we're a plea for tolerance, to the absence of 248 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: tolerance today. Let me go back to mother and father 249 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: because maybe to them too old. I think the idea 250 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: that you're going to tell young kids not to say 251 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: mother or father is so totally irrational. This fits the 252 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: whole gad said theory. It is so irrational that I 253 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: think if you can connect the vote in the House 254 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: with the craziness, you're going to beat a lot of people. 255 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: And if you start beating a lot of people, the 256 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: movement's going to lose momentum very fast. But as long 257 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: as they have the news media on their side, as 258 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: long as it's all portrayed very term the Equality Act, 259 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean, what a totally hypocritical eye. It's not the 260 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: Equality Act, it's the Superiority Act. And the many of 261 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: you say this is what Russia was so enormously important 262 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: for thirty years. Because the many of you say it, 263 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: people go, oh, yeah, that's right, and they just changed 264 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: the whole conversation. How optimistic are you? And this comes 265 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: from Scott that China will not challenge Taiwan in some 266 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: way in the near future. And if they do, what 267 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: do you think Biden would do. I am very worried 268 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: that the Chinese dictatorship will at some point decide to 269 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: put pressure on Taiwan. They don't have to invade Taiwan. 270 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: They could simply declare a blockade. And they have more 271 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: than enough submarines and no more enough missiles to isolate 272 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: the island and starving. So there's a lot of different 273 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: things that could happen. I think it is one of 274 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: the most dangerous places in the world. It is the 275 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: only place where you're likely to see two large nuclear 276 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: powered the systems collide, other than Pakistan and India. But 277 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: I worry about it because this would be US and 278 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: we would be faced with the genuine crisis, because if 279 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: after all these years we refuse to defend Taiwan, we 280 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: send a signal to all over our lives worldwide that 281 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: we're not reliable, and then you'd better cut a deal 282 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: with the Chinese. And candidly, I have no idea. I mean, 283 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: since President Biden can't remember who is sectary defenses, I 284 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: don't have any great confidence that we could predict accurately 285 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: how he would behave. Chris asks, when it comes to 286 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: Kate twelve education, how do we get money directly to 287 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: parents and away from the unions? Well, I think you passed. 288 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: In Florida. One of the reasons de Santis one was 289 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: that he got nineteen percent of the vote from African 290 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: American women because he favored school choice. So even though 291 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: he was running against a black Democrat, one of every 292 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: five African American women in South Florida voted for the 293 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: right to choose the school their choice. I think the 294 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: teachers unions are amasingly corrupt. I think he may have noticed. 295 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: I believe it was the either the Chicago or the 296 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: Los Angeles school union. The Center No Doubts to its 297 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: members saying please don't post pictures on vacation because it 298 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: undercuts our argument that we really want to come back 299 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: to school. But we're afraid. I mean, now people have 300 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: just gone off on vacation and you can't blame them. 301 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: If the public is dumb enough to pay teachers to 302 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 1: not teach, and willing to accept teachers union representatives who 303 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: are totally dishonest, and willing to tolerate schools in which 304 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: nobody can pass the exam I can't blame the teachers 305 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: Union for lapping up all the goodies because they're being 306 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: thrustom and the politicians who are basically so deeply in 307 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: debt to the unions just past this one point nine 308 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: trillion dollars bill in part was a bailout the union boil. 309 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: I think it's a great crisis for us as a country, 310 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: because I believe if we don't find a way to 311 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: break loose and connect parents back to education and to 312 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: give them a real choice of what schools work, I 313 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 1: think that we will clearly be incapable of competing with 314 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: the Chinese. And in that sense, I do think the 315 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: teachers Union is the greatest ally the comments Chinese mister Gingrich. 316 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: If we don't get voter integrity, Pelosi can be just 317 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: as crazy as she wants to, and she may indeed 318 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: get some of those further crazy things going. What can 319 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: Republicans do to seek to force the issue of voter 320 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: integrity in your opinion, that's a great question. It's very central, 321 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: and it is frankly the only way the Democrats believe 322 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: they'll stay in power is by being able to set 323 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: up fraudulent elections where they control the vote in one 324 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: way or another, and the HR one that they have 325 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: pushed through the House is clearly designed to maximize election 326 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: corruption and maximize the machine capability of the Democrats to win. 327 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: I would say there are three things you can do now. One, 328 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: make sure that your senators know do you expect them 329 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: to stop the bill in the Senate so it never passes. Two, 330 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: encourage your state legislators and your governor to pass a clean, 331 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: honest election law. We have twenty four states that have 332 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: both houses of the legislature and the governorship controlled by Republicans, 333 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: so basically almost half the country. We could pass model 334 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: legislation in the next year and that would be very helpful. 335 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: And I think number three, get with your friends and 336 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: be prepared to file lawsuits a minute a bill does pass. 337 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: So the only way they can do this is unconstitutional, 338 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: and I think we have to be prepared to tie 339 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: them up in knots if they don't managed to pass anything. 340 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: I think this is the only hope they have for 341 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: keeping control. When Clinton won two years later, we got 342 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: fifty four seats and took control of the House for 343 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: the first time in forty years. When Obama won two 344 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: years later, we picked up sixty three seats and took 345 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: control of the House. Kevin McCarthy is five seats away 346 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: from becoming a speaker, and I think unless they can 347 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: find a way to really rig the election, it's almost 348 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: inevitable going to lose the House next year. And I 349 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: think they think that, which is why they're trying to 350 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: drive through so much stuff right now. But in the process, 351 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: Pelosi is taking her marginal members and getting them to 352 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: vote again and again and again against their districts, and 353 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: that's going to catch up with them. As Karl Rove 354 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 1: wrote the other day, the pain they're going to suffer 355 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: and the consequences of these partisan bills is going to 356 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: be I think a disaster in terms of who controls 357 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: the House after this election. I just read in the 358 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: tax bill that taxes are going to go up by 359 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: like sixty billion dollars. Is this going to impact retirement 360 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: income for people like Nago's retired. No. I don't think 361 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: it'll affect you directly, but it will affect the very 362 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: very wealthy, and it will affect corporations. And it was 363 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: just something that Schumer put in at the last minute. 364 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: I mean, things that would have twenty five or thirty 365 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: years ago. A bit of major legislation now just gets 366 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: slipped in with the rest of the one point nine trillion. 367 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: I've actually asked Margaret Smith to go back, and she's 368 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: putting together what will become a newsletter and a podcast 369 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: of all the different provisions in the one point nine trillion, 370 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: and it is astonishing how much is that going to 371 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: for the moment you and Jill are safe. My question is, 372 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm a small business owner and a father, and when 373 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: I see the censorship from big Tech, the canceling of 374 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: bank accounts, they're threatening to not process payments by Visa, 375 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: and the attacks on small business owners who support Republicans, 376 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: then I'm left with mixed feelings of fear, which inclines 377 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: me to want to keep quiet and feelings to stand 378 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: up and try to make a change. How do I 379 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: reconcile this and navigate a path to help make positive change, 380 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: to preserve the future of America for my family, and 381 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: to also protect them. Now, I mean, but at this 382 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: a long time, I would caution you not to get 383 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: ahead on a fight with a system the size of 384 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: Twitter or Google or Apple. They can just crush you. 385 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: On the other hand, I would urge you to say 386 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: and do things that aren't on social media per se, 387 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: and you can write, for example, things on your own emails. 388 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: I would also to take a look at the Job 389 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: Creators Network, which is a group I work with. The 390 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: Job Creators Network can carry the fight for you and 391 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: can provide some cover because they then require places like 392 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: Twitter to attack the Job Creators Network instead of attacking you. 393 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: I think we unfortunately live in a period when a 394 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: reasonable amount of caution and a reasonal amount of fear 395 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: is an accurate reflection of the reality we're living in. 396 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: It's a really sad and I think very un American thing. 397 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: I do want to thank all of you for being involved. 398 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: It does an enormous help to me. And if you 399 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: think this is a useful thing, I would encourage you 400 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: to let your friends know that they can join the 401 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: Inner Circle.
