But he'll be back with us on Monday. 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: A lot to get into here in the next couple 13 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: hours of the program, but I wanted to hit you 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 2: with this news that's just dropped in the last twenty 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: some odd minutes. And this is a long running unsolved mystery, 16 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 2: murder mystery Las Vegas. I'm reading from the Associated Press. 17 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 2: Las Vegas police have made an arrest for the very 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: first time in the nineteen ninety six killing of rapper 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: Tupac Shakur. A person with and I'm reading from the AP. 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: A person with firsthand knowledge of the arrest told the 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: Associated Press Dwayne Davis was taken into custody Friday morning, 22 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 2: says Davis is the uncle of the suspected shooter. This 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 2: is according to the AP, and has long been linked 24 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: to the investigation. The arrest comes two months after Las 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 2: Vegas police searched a home tied to Davis. Tupac Shakur 26 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: just twenty five years old when he was gunned down 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: in a drive by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip 28 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: has now been twenty seven years ago. And if I 29 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 2: remember correctly, and I think I am right about this, 30 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: I think he was shot in the immediate aftermath. A 31 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: lot of you will remember this and staff correct me 32 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: if I'm wrong on the date here. I think he 33 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: was shot after the Mike Tyson of Vander H. Holy 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: Field ear biting fight. If you remember that crazy fight 35 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: back in the day when Mike Tyson spit out his 36 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: mouthpiece and bit Evander Holyfield's ear. I believe that happened 37 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety six in Las Vegas, and Tupac Shakur 38 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: was shot in the aftermath of that fight. All the 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: celebrities were out to watch that boxing match. I think 40 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: I'm correct in that. I know it was in the 41 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: aftermath of a boxing match, I believe, but if the 42 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: staff can correct me on that. 43 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: But that is big news. 44 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: I don't know how many of you are paying a 45 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: lot of attention to that story or were familiar with it, 46 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: But an unsolved murder, probably one of the most famous 47 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 2: unsolved murders in current American history, potentially someone being charged 48 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: with that crime. We got a couple of good calls 49 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: there as we were going into the break at the 50 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 2: end of the first hour, and it reminded me of 51 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: something that I think is important. Do you remember how 52 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: Joe Biden ended up the nominee in twenty twenty. There's 53 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: so much chaos that happened in twenty twenty, starting in 54 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: March when COVID shutdowns and everything else happened, that I 55 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 2: feel like a lot of the twenty twenty Democrat primary 56 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: race has been kind of ignored because so much attention 57 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: then flowed in on the COVID response and all the 58 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: chaos associated with that. But I want to take you 59 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: back in time. I want to take you back in 60 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: time to the winter of twenty twenty, before Joe Biden 61 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: was the presumptive nominee. 62 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: He was getting smoked in the Democrat race. 63 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: Joe Biden came in and the staff can also look 64 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: up on this. I think it was sixth in Iowa 65 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: and fifth in New Hampshire, or vice versa. He didn't 66 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: just get beat he got slaughtered in both those places. 67 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: The two states where voters get to know the candidates 68 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: the best, where you have to travel around all ninety 69 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: nine counties, where you have to go to all the 70 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 2: different diners. In New Hampshire, where voters can legitimately say, 71 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: sometimes you'll see quotes like this. We'll say, hey, how 72 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: are you leaning Iowa? New Hampshire, And they can legitimately say, 73 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: in those states, if you're really politically active, I haven't 74 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: decided yet. I've only met the candidate a couple of 75 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: times so far. 76 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: Think about that for a minute. 77 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: Most people, in our entire lives, we never get to 78 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: meet someone face to face. Whoever runs for president, right 79 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: they're three hundred and forty million, three hundred and thirty million, 80 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: whatever the heck it is. There are millions of you 81 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: listening right now. Most people, if you get to see 82 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: the president at some point in time, it's a really 83 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: big deal. I went to George Washington University every now 84 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 2: and then the motorcade for the president because I'm in Washington, 85 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: d C. Would come running by. At that point in time, 86 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: it was Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were the presidents. 87 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 2: If you just got to see the president drive by 88 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: and you could say I saw him with my own eyes, 89 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: it was a big deal. And I know a lot 90 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: of you out there listening they are like, yeah, I 91 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: getting to see a president with my own eyes a 92 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: big deal. I remember when I was a little kid, 93 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: I think it was nineteen eighty four or thereabouts, Ronald 94 00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: Reagan came to Epcot down at Disney World. And this 95 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: was before Disney had lost its mind. I don't even 96 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: know that they would let Donald Trump go to Disney World. 97 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: Right now, I can't. 98 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: Believe I could say that, Like, if Donald Trump was like, hey, 99 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: I want to go to Epcot and do a rally 100 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: and speak, There's no way Disney would let him do it, right, 101 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: Am I crazy? 102 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 3: You know? 103 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 2: They wouldn't let him do it. I'm surprised they still 104 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: have him in the Hall of Presidents. So, but back then, 105 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: before Disney World had gone woke, before everybody had lost 106 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: their mind, Ronald Reagan president of the United States. He's 107 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: doing a speech at Epcot, and my mom's probably listening. 108 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: She can correct me if I'm wrong about this. I 109 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: think I was five years old. There was a huge 110 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 2: rope line. It is probably one hundred and eighty degrees 111 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: that day in Florida, because, believe it or not, even 112 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 2: before global warming, it was hot in Florida. It's one 113 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty degrees. I'm in like knee socks, those 114 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: little tiny Adidas short shorts that kids used to wear 115 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: back in the day. They may be popular again. I 116 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 2: think they will be soon. And I'm tiny. I'm four 117 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 2: or five years old, and as a result, I'm able 118 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 2: to go all the way to the front rope line 119 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 2: at Epcot nineteen eighty four, and Ronald Reagan is going 120 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: to come by in the presidential limo and they have 121 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: a parade, and it's so hot that day that I 122 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: remember they had. I think it was majorrettes. Is it 123 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 2: a major at who twirls the batons? I think they're 124 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: still called major etes. Hopefully that's not offensive term. Now 125 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: they probably have, you know, trans baton twirlers now who 126 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: are really impressive. But back then, majorats girls they twirl 127 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: the baton. Major att is standing there. They're all standing 128 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: waiting for Ronald Reagan to come by. It's so hot 129 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: that the girls start falling out. I remember, four or 130 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: five years old, standing there. The girls are falling down. 131 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: They have people coming around in these little with these 132 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: little paper cups. It's one hundred and eighty degrees. Everybody 133 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: is so excited at the idea that you could see 134 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: the President of the United States, that people are legitimately 135 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: falling down at Epcot president comes rolling by. I still 136 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: remember how incredible that moment is. Even as a four 137 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: or five year old kid. That was the very first 138 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: time that I had ever seen the president, and I 139 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: couldn't believe that I had gotten to see him with 140 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: my own eyes. So most people getting to see the 141 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: president say nothing of shake his hand, get a picture. 142 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: Getting to see the president is for most people an 143 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 2: incredible achievement in person your own eyes. The people who 144 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: saw Joe Biden the most in twenty twenty, voters in 145 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: Iowa and voters in New Hampshire, they put him in 146 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 2: fifth or sixth place. They said, we have seen this 147 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 2: guy so many times that there is no way that 148 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 2: this could ever be the president of the United States. 149 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: Don't dismiss What then happened Number one, Bernie Sanders. Do 150 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 2: you remember after New Hampshire what that looked like. Bernie 151 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: Sanders was in first place. Do you know who was 152 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: in second place? Mayor Pete was in second place, and 153 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 2: the Democrat power brokers just said, nah, h Bernie's gonna lose. 154 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 2: He's a socialist, Mayor Pete. There's no way people are 155 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: voting for him. He's a gay white dude. They won't 156 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 2: even talk about it in the Democrat Party. But the 157 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: reality is, black guys aren't voting for a gay white dude. 158 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 2: They won't even mention it. Black dudes aren't voting for 159 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 2: a gay white guy. Mayor Pete has a zero percent 160 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: chance of ever being elected President of the United States. 161 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 2: I honestly mean this. I don't think it's possible that 162 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: it could happen in my life now. Maybe thirty years 163 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: from now, black dudes are going to be like, Okay, 164 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: I'm okay voting for a gay white guy. 165 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 166 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: They won't mention it, they won't explain it, but they 167 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: just said, yeah, he's not happening. Elizabeth Warren was too 168 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 2: old and also too much of a socialist. She was 169 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: kind of like Bernie, except with longer hair, and so 170 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 2: Pocahontas also with the major Native American connection. You would think, 171 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: given identity politics, that Pocahontas Warren would have been like 172 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: a no brainer. 173 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: I mean, she's got every Native American pow wow chow books, 174 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: she wrote everything. So they just said. 175 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 2: Joe Biden is our guy, boom, and they made the choice. 176 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 2: The reason why I bring all this up is Democrats 177 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: play to win. That's all they care about. They are nasty, 178 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: you have to admire it. They just said, old socialist, Sorry, Bernie, 179 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 2: you're done. Gay white dude, you're done, old white guy. 180 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: Joe Biden, you're our choice. James Clyburn said, everybody, go 181 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: vote for him. They all went and voted for him. 182 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: It was over. 183 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: I was thinking about this in the wake of Wednesday. 184 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: Who in the Republican Party has the balls to actually 185 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: do something like that. Surely Trump has the balls, that's 186 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: why he's popular, right, But what the Republican Party should 187 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: actually do is say, Okay, Mike Pence, you're done. Chris Christy, 188 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 2: you're done. You had your time on the stage. There's 189 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 2: a zero percent chance that you are going to be 190 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 2: the nominee. Let's have an actual fistfight here between. There's 191 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 2: really three people, and we're gonna talk to Doug Bergham next. 192 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: And I thought he was great on the stage on 193 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: Wednesday night. I don't think Doug Burgham has a chance 194 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: to be the nominee. I really like him. I like 195 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: the business background. I like the fact that he is 196 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: governing and actually getting things done in North Dakota. 197 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: That's what I would like to see in a president. 198 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: I don't think he has any chance. 199 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 2: Democrats just wiped out their guys that didn't have any 200 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: chance and decided Joe Biden was the choice and they won. 201 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: Is anybody in the Republican Party going to make any 202 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 2: of these other dudes who have no chance drop out 203 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 2: and actually figure out who the nominee is going to be? 204 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: At this point in time, and my always humble opinion, 205 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: there are three people who could win the Republican nomination, 206 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, who is the favorite, Ron DeSantis, and Nicki Haley. 207 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: Everybody else should be out of the race. Let those 208 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: three fight it out. Trump would still be the favorite, 209 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 2: but you need to end up with the best possible 210 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: candidate that allows you to win. 211 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: Democrats, they do it. Republicans. It's a lot of people 212 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: that don't actually make anything happen. And I just want 213 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: you to think about what Democrats did in twenty twenty 214 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: to grab power, and think about what they're doing to 215 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: Trump now to try to grab power, and ask yourself this, 216 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: do Republicans actually want to win? 217 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 2: Or do they just want to be nice? I think 218 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: we got too many nice people. I want to kick ass. 219 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: I want my opponents to cry. In sports, you don't 220 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: sit around and say, man, I hope we can win 221 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 2: by a field goal if everything goes perfect. Seems like 222 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: to me, Republicans every election hope that everything goes perfect 223 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: and they win by a field goal. I want to 224 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 2: crush my opponents. I want to beat them by fifty. 225 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: Why doesn't anybody else just think about gonna be joined 226 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: by Doug Bergham Here in a moment, something called a 227 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: secret royalty program.

I bet that's the first time Tupac 242 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: has ever been played on this program. This is Tupac 243 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: probably Tupac's most famous song. Kill that twenty five years old. 244 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: If you just got in your car and you're like, 245 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 2: why in the world how did that? 246 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: So? 247 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: They have arrested the potential murderer of Tupac and I 248 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: wanted to clean up a couple. I was a little 249 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: bit off on the on the event that Tupac was attending. 250 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 2: I thought it was the Mike Tyson Evander Holyfield earbiting fight. 251 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: I don't even remember this dude, but he was there 252 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: for a Mike Tyson fight. 253 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: But Tyson was fighting. 254 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: Bruce Selden, So it was in the aftermath of a 255 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 2: Mike Tyson fight, but not the Mike Tyson fight that 256 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: I thought. My mom also texted me and said, my 257 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: recollection of Epcot. 258 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: And Ronald Reagan is correct. Can you imagine. 259 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: If Trump asked to deliver a speech at Disney World. 260 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 2: The Trump people, a lot of them listen make the request. 261 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: I don't think they would let him. I don't think 262 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 2: they would. Let you think about that. Ronald Reagan doing 263 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: an event at Epcot feels very American. He's delivering a 264 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: speech nineteen eighties. I don't think Disney World would allow 265 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: Donald Trump to deliver a speech at one of their 266 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: themed parks today. That's even if you were president of 267 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: the United States. I think they would disallow it. I'd 268 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: never really thought about it before, but I mean, that's 269 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 2: kind of evidence of how much as a country we 270 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: have turned into tribal craziness. That the President of the 271 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: United States couldn't even speak at Epcot. I mean, it's 272 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 2: pretty wild to think about. Uh, let's see Tyler in Colorado. 273 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: What you got for us? 274 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 3: First of all, really really appreciate your show.

And then of course 281 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 3: there's the media influence. But anyway, I'll hang up and listen. 282 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 3: But I just wanted to say thank you first of all, 283 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 3: and add that I don't I have a fear for 284 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 3: twenty four that you know, the Republicans say they just 285 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 3: stay in there, the chairman stays in the hotel room, 286 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 3: and doesn't We've got to do the lea what we 287 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 3: is legally in place, according to the rules, to get 288 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 3: a bigger voat turn out. 289 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 2: Thank you, I agree, and I've talked to a lot 290 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 2: of people in positions of power.

I mean, between you know, marathons, ten 339 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 4: k's basketball, thirty five years of organized softball, all the 340 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 4: stuff I've done barefoot, water skating, climbing mountains, never had 341 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 4: a knee or ankle injury. So, hey, we're in Milwaukee, 342 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: the Bates at the Bucks Stadium. We've got Marquette basketball powerhouse, 343 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 4: and they're like, we're going to get a chance to 344 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 4: go place shoot some hoops over at Marquette. I'm like, 345 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 4: I'm in over over there, and you know, and went 346 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 4: from you know, shooting around a horse to hey, let's 347 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 4: play some pickup a little more competitive and then got 348 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 4: going anyway, I've ended up blowing my achilles. It completely 349 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 4: ruptured it. And this is like twenty eight hours before 350 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 4: the debate. So I don't know if you heard it 351 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 4: in the first debate. 352 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: I was. 353 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 4: It was named the best presidential debate performance ever by 354 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 4: an individual standing on one leg. 355 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 2: So all on, what's your staff's reaction when you go 356 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 2: down and you're like, I think I tore my achill? Like, 357 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 2: could you tell immediately did you feel a pop? I mean, 358 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: this feels like something that would happen in a television show, 359 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: because I can only imagine your staff. Did anybody like 360 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: bump into you, did anybody try to challenge a shot? 361 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 2: Was it non contact? I got to know how this happened. 362 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 4: Well, you know, having played ball my whole life and 363 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 4: having to do some really fun peak experience, like going 364 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 4: to the Michael Jordan basketball camp in nineteen ninety eight 365 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 4: right after he won his six championship. My coaches there 366 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 4: were Dean Smith and John Thompson. 367 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: I mean that as bad ass. That is awesome. 368 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a great sport. But I three times 369 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 4: in my career having played you know, organized league ball, 370 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 4: you know, winning state tournament tournaments for the you know 371 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 4: under thirty, over thirty, over fifty, all this stuff. I 372 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 4: three times I've been on the court when people blown 373 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 4: their achilles. Each time they went down, no one was 374 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 4: near him. Each time they were on the floor, and 375 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 4: they said, somebody kicked me. Who kicked me? 376 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? 377 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 4: And I went down. I went down. I was trying 378 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 4: to break the other guy's ankles put on a move, boom, 379 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 4: I go down and they said what. The first thing 380 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 4: I said was who kicked me? Yeah? And I heard 381 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 4: myself say that. And then they said did you sprain 382 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 4: your ankle? And I said no, I ruptured my achilles 383 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 4: And they're like, no, you didn't, No, you didn't. You're okay, 384 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 4: walk it off, walk it off until I ruptured my achilles. 385 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 4: And they're like, how do you know? I mean, because 386 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 4: this is apparently what people say when they rupture their achilles. 387 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 4: And now when you have it and then it's national news, 388 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 4: not quite like Aaron Rodgers, I didn't. 389 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: Yeah what did you think when you saw Aaron Rodgers? 390 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: I mean that had to be like, I mean, I 391 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 2: imagine your recovery process while you're on the on the 392 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: trail is super difficult as well. 393 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 4: Yeah it is. And then somebody showed me the close 394 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 4: up video of you could actually see the ripple in 395 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 4: the sock, and I kind of turned my stomach a 396 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 4: little bit. So I only watched that once. But yeah, 397 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 4: that's exactly what it feels. It feels like a little 398 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 4: bit like someone just took a hatchet and hitting the 399 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 4: back of the calf when you weren't looking. But anyway, 400 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 4: we're we you know, we's have a phrase in North 401 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 4: Dakota cowboy up. I mean at twenty four hours and 402 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 4: people said, oh, you're not gonna be able to stand 403 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 4: up there for two hours, and I said, I got 404 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 4: one good leg I could do that. So that's what 405 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 4: we did on the first one, but this one was 406 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 4: a lot more fun because I was not in extreme 407 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 4: pain like I was staring the first debate. 408 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 2: So here's what I love about what I have been 409 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 2: able to clean from you so far. 410 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: You have an incredible business background. 411 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 2: I still think a lot of our audience doesn't know you, 412 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 2: so I'm going to ask you to give like a 413 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 2: quick bio for this audience. But you have an incredible 414 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 2: business background. You've built I think I'm correcting this a 415 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 2: multi billion dollar business in a place where I don't 416 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 2: think a lot of people contemplate multi billion dollar tech 417 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 2: business is being built in North Dakota. I'm curious how 418 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: you did that. And then you have used that business knowledge, 419 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 2: which is what I love, because you've had to make 420 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: make payroll, and you've had to understand the challenges that 421 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 2: come with running a for profit business, which frankly most 422 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 2: politicians haven't. You've translated those skills to running a state efficiently. 423 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: I like that combo. I think to a large extent, 424 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 2: that's what Trump. 425 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: Was able to appeal to. 426 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 2: Obviously he had no political background before, But how has 427 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 2: business aided you in your political career? And quickly your 428 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: background for people out there listening to us right now 429 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: that may not still be that familiar with you. 430 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 4: Well, thank you. Clag Quick story is, I grew up 431 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 4: in a town of three hundred people. This town had, 432 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 4: you know, gravel streets, one paved road, the State Highway 433 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 4: of running through it, not a computer in the town. 434 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 4: Fabulous place to grow up. Every job I had working 435 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 4: at the farm, the ranch, the grain elevator, you know, 436 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 4: started a little construction company putting up steel bins with 437 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 4: buddies like when we were in high school, you know, 438 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 4: actually worked as a chimney sweep to pay my way 439 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 4: through North Scota State undergrad. All of that stuff was 440 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 4: jobs where I took a shower at the end of 441 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 4: the day. I mean, I understand what it is to 442 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 4: get up and work and work all day long in 443 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 4: you know, really some of the like some of the 444 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 4: jobs I had that the elevator should be on the 445 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 4: episode of World's Dirtiest Jobs. Anyway you do that, you 446 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 4: understand and appreciate what it's like to, you know, for 447 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 4: a paycheck. But I'm thirteen years old. My dad dies, 448 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 4: he's a World War two Navy. My mom had to 449 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 4: go back to work, widow, three kids. I know what 450 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 4: it's like to have economic insecurity and for somebody, a 451 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 4: single mom working to do that. Now pass forward. I'm 452 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 4: in my mid twenties and I got one hundred and 453 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 4: sixty acres of farm ground, which is in dry land 454 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 4: wheat farming. That's not enough to actually farm. You can't 455 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 4: be a farmer in Northcote. You need a thousand those days, 456 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 4: a thousand acres Now it's thousands to be able to 457 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 4: have an economic unit for dry land farming. But I 458 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 4: had that ground, and I had I'd seen my first 459 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 4: apple to computer, and I'm like, that's going to change 460 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 4: the world. So I literally took a mortgage out on 461 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 4: the farm. I bet the farmland I got for my dad, 462 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 4: which you'd never do. That's a giant no no, when 463 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 4: it's been you know, homesteaded and paid for you know you. 464 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 3: But I did it. 465 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 4: And that was the capital. You couldn't get venture capital 466 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 4: those days. No one had heard of a software company. 467 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 4: We started with less than ten people, and we just 468 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 4: built a two thousand person company. We had a great 469 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 4: run as a public company, got acquired for one point 470 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 4: one billion, and then I stayed there and then continued 471 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 4: to build that into even a much larger business as 472 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 4: part of a as part of a larger operation. So 473 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 4: I've had people working for me in one hundred and 474 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 4: twenty countries, customers all over the world, in some of 475 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 4: the largest you know, employees working for me in the 476 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 4: largest cities, places where you didn't have the team members, 477 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 4: didn't have the right to vote, they didn't have the 478 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 4: right to assemble, right to bear arms. I mean, you 479 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 4: build an appreciation for this country when you see what 480 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 4: the rest of the world is. But that having that 481 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 4: experience and then saying hey, I'm going to run for governor. 482 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 4: People said, oh, you can't win, You've never done it. 483 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 4: You're down fifty points in the poll. We ended up 484 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 4: winning in sixteen and in twenty twenty by over forty points, 485 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 4: largest margins of any governor races in the country in 486 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 4: those years. We won by because we just said, hey, 487 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 4: we're going to bring We're going to treat the taxpayer 488 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 4: like a customer. We're going to have a technology background, 489 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 4: how we're going to make government services more efficient and effective, 490 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 4: and we're going to serve everybody. We're not just working 491 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 4: for the party that elected us, because when you get elected, 492 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 4: we're in an executive branch. You work for everybody. Everybody 493 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 4: drives on the roads. When we have a blizzard in 494 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 4: North Dakota, which by the way, is the size of 495 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 4: all six New England states. When we have a blizzard, 496 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 4: we filed the roads for the Independence, the Democrats, the Republicans, 497 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 4: you name it. We're plowing the roads for everybody. And 498 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 4: that's what it is. For all the stuff our schools are, 499 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 4: you know, healthcare, all the stuff were involved in. I 500 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 4: don't know how this became so divisive and politicized, right, 501 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 4: do that in Congress put on a jersey, red jersey, 502 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 4: blue jersey, and you know, and throw bombs at each other. 503 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 4: But when the executive branch has got to be red, 504 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 4: white and blue, we got to We're doing it for everybody. 505 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: Do you think Joe Biden's going to be the Democrat nominee. 506 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 4: If he's alive, Yeah, he will be. I mean, I 507 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 4: think the only scenario in the possible world would be 508 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 4: somehow which is an impossible thing. So I think it's 509 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 4: near zero. But if somehow Donald Trump was not in 510 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 4: the race or just said hey, I'm going to you know, 511 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 4: take my billions and go, you know, retire, or do something. 512 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 4: If he said he was going to be out, they'd 513 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 4: be in a panic because the one thing that's holding 514 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 4: the Democrat Party together is our former president because they 515 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 4: use him for fundraising, they use him for getting out 516 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 4: the vote, they use them for you know, motivating their base. 517 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 4: And I think Biden doesn't exist without Trump in twenty 518 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 4: twenty four. I mean they would without Trump, I think, 519 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,959 Speaker 4: you know there, because that's the one person that they 520 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 4: think they can be, that's they can he can be 521 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 4: the rallying cry for the Democrats to win. And so 522 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 4: it's it's just an interesting thing. But I'm not I'm 523 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 4: not a pundit. I'm not running to be a pundit. 524 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 4: I'm running to be president. I'm running against Joe Biden. 525 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 4: And Joe Biden's policies on economy, energy, and national security 526 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 4: are completely one hundred percent, one hundred and eighty degrees 527 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 4: in the wrong direction. And that's why we've got this 528 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 4: high inflation and high interest rates. That's why we're you know, out, 529 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 4: you know, we're trying to kill the US energy industry 530 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 4: and we're empowering dictators, you know, buy ed batteries from China. 531 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 4: And then when you kill the US oil industry. I 532 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 4: guess we'll just buy all of our own gas from 533 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 4: Venezuela and h inn Opek because the demand for energy 534 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 4: globally is not going down. When you kill the US 535 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 4: energy industry, other people replace it. Russia, Venezuela, Opak, these 536 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 4: guys replaced that production. It makes the word they produce 537 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 4: it dirtier than we do. So these environmentalists that think 538 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 4: they're saving the world by driving an ev for shutting 539 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 4: down a pipeline in the US, all it does is 540 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 4: just diplace dismand displace demand. That demand comes from people 541 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,959 Speaker 4: that don't have epas, that don't care about the environment 542 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 4: the way we do, and the world gets the world 543 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 4: environment becomes worse. And so that's why I say one 544 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 4: hundred and eighty degrees. If you cared about the environment, 545 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 4: you would be insisting that we build pipelines in the US, 546 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 4: that we use clean US energy, that we have every 547 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 4: drop and every electron made in our country, not someplace else. 548 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 4: And then of course we do that. That's how we 549 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 4: win the Cold War with China, because China imports ten 550 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 4: million barrels of oil a day. The one tool we 551 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 4: could use to win a Cold war with China is 552 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 4: food security and energy security, and our diplomats the four 553 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 4: cabinet leaders have been there don't even bring those two 554 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 4: topics up because they're too busy trying to regulate our 555 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 4: own country out of business. 556 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: I asked you about Biden. 557 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 2: You obviously would be running against him in theory if 558 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: you were there, But Donald Trump is a prohibitive favorite 559 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 2: right now, Why are you a better choice than Donald Trump? 560 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 4: Well, I think that the real answer lies here in 561 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 4: having competition for the Republican Party, and the voters in 562 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 4: Iowa and New Hampshire are going to get to decide that. 563 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 4: When I look at the polls in New Hampshire and 564 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 4: I say, hey, if you've got the leader at forty 565 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 4: two percent, that means fifty eight percent of the people 566 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 4: today three months before they don't even have all There's 567 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 4: lots of new information, you know, people like you that 568 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 4: may not have heard of me two weeks ago. Everybody 569 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,959 Speaker 4: in the country has all the information they can on 570 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 4: Donald Trump. You can't really add more information into it. 571 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 4: Every voter's already made up their mind. So between now 572 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 4: and January, those fifty eight percent of the people that 573 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 4: are looking around for alternatives that's a majority. You know, 574 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 4: ignore the national polls. There isn't campaigns happening nationally. They're 575 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 4: happening in Iowa and New Hampshire right now. That's the 576 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,959 Speaker 4: real signal, not the noise. And and those folks are 577 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 4: looking and there's a lot of new information we can 578 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 4: put in to say, hey, here's someone, as you said, 579 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 4: that's got you know where I've been making payroll every 580 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 4: two weeks since my mid twenties. I've created more jobs 581 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 4: than all those other candidates that I was on the 582 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 4: stage on with the other night, and likely the former 583 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 4: president himself, with all the companies that I've involved with 584 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 4: in the job creation, and they're high paying jobs with 585 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 4: meaning is what I've been involved in the tech industry. 586 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 4: And now we're in a world where every job, every company, 587 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 4: and every industry is changing. We're in a cyber war 588 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 4: every day. Wouldn't be amazing to have someone in the 589 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 4: White House that actually understood what it meant to be 590 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 4: a working American and have somebody who understood the technology 591 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 4: of what it's going to take for us to improve 592 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 4: our military, secure our borders, in supercharge our economy. That 593 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 4: would be cool. And I hear that from all the time, 594 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 4: and people like, why don't we just get a common 595 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 4: guy to actually run who knows who's got high executive function, 596 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 4: has proven he can get it done at the state level. 597 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 4: And in North Dakota we've got the highest GDP of 598 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 4: any Republican led state. We're on track to have the 599 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 4: highest in the country. We've got among the highest education scores. 600 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,239 Speaker 4: We aren't having the issues that folks are having in 601 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 4: some of these large cities. We understand borders three sixty 602 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 4: mile border with Canada, and I had software in nineteen 603 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,719 Speaker 4: eighty nine. My software was getting stolen by China. Some 604 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 4: people discovered China, you know, in the last month. You 605 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 4: know what I've been saying for a long time, we're 606 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 4: in a cold war with China because they were stealing 607 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 4: my software thirty four years ago. And walked into a 608 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 4: street market in China and there was Great Plaine software 609 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 4: for a buck for a five and a quarter is 610 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 4: floppy in nineteen eighty nine, they've stolen trillions from us. 611 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 4: So someone who's got the experience I have and the 612 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 4: ability to mobilize great, high performing teams, you know, I 613 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 4: think it's an interesting thing. And voters are going to 614 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 4: get a chance to decide, and I went in Hampshire. 615 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 4: If they think that's interesting. 616 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 2: In January, he's Doug Burgham, Governor of North Dakota.
