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'd 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 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: com and sign up for a one or two year

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: membership today. Let me say, first of all, thank you

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: for all of you who have been telling your friends

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: and neighbors about Beyond Biden. It's done very very well

15
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: in its opening weeks, and I think it's an important

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: book and a useful book and trying to outline the

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: reforms we need if we're going to survive as a free,

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: secure and prosperous country. So I'm very grateful to those

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: of you who have been helping with Beyond Biden. Let

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: me also say that I really want to thank everybody

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: who has been helping us develop new ideas and new approaches.

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: But we had a very interesting session today with Liberty

23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: University at the Museum of the Bible. I also had

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: a session this morning with about a dozen US Senators

25
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: hosted by the Senator from Missouri, and it was a

26
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: really really good event, I think, including to the number

27
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: of members of Senate leadership coming and talking about ideas

28
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: and where we are. We've been doing a great deal

29
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: of work on the American Majority Project, much of which

30
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: you can find if you go to Gamlash three sixty.

31
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: We also have been learning a lot and they've had

32
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: a lot of fascinating breakthroughs on, for example, the degree

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: to which Chinese Americans find themselves very comfortable with the

34
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: values and the ideas that we believe in. And as

35
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: all of you know, we discovered that free market capitalism

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: beat big government socialism by fifty nine to sixteen, and

37
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: we have been really working with people at every level

38
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: of the movement to try to get them understand the

39
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: power of a fifty nine to sixteen issues. So I

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: think all of those things are coming together in a

41
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: way that's very positive. Now in terms of current events,

42
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: I have to say, first of all, that Alan Silka

43
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: discovered a website which has ten hours of Kamala Harris

44
00:02:47,680 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: laughing sort of a punishment device. It just reminds you

45
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: what an absurd person she is, and I think it's

46
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: a comment on where we are today. I did WML

47
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: radio this morning. We got to talking about yesterday's performance

48
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: where President Biden and Vice President Harris came sort of

49
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: dancing out to the Rose Garden holding hands, laughing and grinning,

50
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: proving that all the CNN reporting about tension and infighting

51
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: between the Vice president's staff and the president staff was

52
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: just not true. And you could tell it was not

53
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: true because of the sincerity with which they were holding

54
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: hands and laughing. I couldn't help myself. I said to

55
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the post on WML that it reminded me of a

56
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Gary Cooper Audrey Hepburn movie called Love in the Afternoon,

57
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: which was a box office failure because Cooper was simply

58
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: too old at that stage. The absurdity of these two

59
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: clowns dance their way to a signing ceremony compared with

60
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: any president I've ever seen. And Calista had commented to

61
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: me on the Times that she's actually been in the

62
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: Oval office for signings and seeing the structure, the preparation,

63
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: the discipline with which those things go on. These people

64
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: are just nuts. They have no sense of propriety, no

65
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: sense of how other people see them, and it was,

66
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: I thought, frankly, pretty embarrassing. I was asked by the

67
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: host of WML whether, with Glenn Youngcan's great victory in Virginia,

68
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: whether we're now becoming the party of parents and students,

69
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: and I said, well, we're the party of parents and

70
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: students and those teachers who were fed up with the

71
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: bureaucrats and the teacher's union. So let's conclude every teacher

72
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: who wants to focus on teaching, not on bureaucracy or

73
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: the union's instructions. But I said, we're also the party

74
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 1: of people who are tired of paying too much for gasoline.

75
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: We're also the party of people who are second tired

76
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: of what today our meeting senators who's in college told

77
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 1: me that the price of heating in Maine has already

78
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: jumped over fifty percent. Now, Maine is not a very

79
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: wealthy state, and if you're not going to have to

80
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: pay fifty percent more to heat your home, this is

81
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: a real problem. We're also the party of people who

82
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: don't want to be murdered, raped, mugged or otherwise stolen

83
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: front And we're the party of people who believe that

84
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: police are better than criminals. And we're the party of

85
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: people who believe that you shouldn't have a million, four

86
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people break the law across the border with

87
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: no check for COVID, with no check for criminal record,

88
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: and by the way, with a secret government program to

89
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: ship them around America without telling anyone where they've gone.

90
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: So all those things coming together, I think we might

91
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: well have a simple slogan next year that big government

92
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: socialism just doesn't work. And when people tell you, oh,

93
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: of course it works, ask them they like the gasoline press?

94
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Do they like the fact that there are still today

95
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: nineties ships that are stuck off of Long Beach. The

96
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: logistics supply chain is a disaster. I talked to one

97
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: woman who sells houses, and in March she ordered the

98
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: kitchen equipment for four houses, you know, things like dishwashers, refrigerators, stoves,

99
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: And she's now being told that the March order might

100
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: come in in January, and she's beside herself. I think

101
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: that all of the different failures whether it's the disaster

102
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: or the way they left at Afghanistan. The pathetic performance

103
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: by Biden fallen asleep at the Global Summit means every

104
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: time you turn her around, there's something weird going on.

105
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: And I think all that's adding up. Two days ago,

106
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: we had a report that the generic ballot, that's will

107
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: you vote Democrat or a Republican, the generic ballot was

108
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: now ten points to the Republican parties at vantage. I

109
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: think it was fifty one, which is the largest it

110
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: had been since November of nineteen eighty one, forty years. Today,

111
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: Rasselasen came out and said, actually it's grown. By their account,

112
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: it's now thirteen points, which would make it the largest

113
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: generic ballot favoring Republicans in the history of Poland. All

114
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: that's happening, I think because people are just fed up

115
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: with these guys and they don't seem to learn anything.

116
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: They didn't learn anything from Virginia, where Lenyonkan ran a

117
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: great race, helped elect an African American woman to the

118
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: lieutenant governorship, helped elect to Latino attorney general, helped recapture

119
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: the state legislature. They do learn anything from a truck

120
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: driver at door in New Jersey defeating the State Center president.

121
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: When a truck driver, no experience and no money beats

122
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: the State Center president, who in the last campaign four

123
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: years ago had the most expensive legislative race in the country,

124
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: you know something weird's going on, because you know, people

125
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: are fed up. A Republican woman who won the city

126
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: attorney race in Seattle, of all places, we had a

127
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: Canada winning a seventy three percent of spending district for

128
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: a state legislative seat in San Antonio. And yesterday and

129
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: other South Texas Democrats switched and said that they were

130
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: no longer Democrats because the Washington Democratic Party was now

131
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: so radical. So a lot of things are going under

132
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: are fascinating and tell me that we have a chance

133
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: to have a remarkable year next year. And of course

134
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Senator lay he retired, which opens up for a month

135
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: which people thought it was not going to be contestable.

136
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: So we now have something like seven or eight Democratic

137
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: seats that we could potentially win then the Senate, and

138
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: I think we will win between forty and seventy seats

139
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: in the House. And the easy rule of thumb is

140
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: if we win more than thirty five seats in the House.

141
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: We'll have the biggest margin since nineteen twenty eight when

142
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: there were two hundred and seventy Republicans in the House.

143
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: So this could really be a pretty exciting period. Listen, Robert,

144
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: he walled on from Laverne, California. And my concern is

145
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: perhaps that Republicans are getting too overconfident because of the

146
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: stupidity of the current president. I just think that maybe

147
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: we need to make sure we all buckle down for

148
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: the mid term elections. It worries me to see so

149
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: many people saying that we haven't made for that twenty

150
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: twenty two elections. But I don't know whether we're taking

151
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: into consideration all the shenanigans that Democrats have polled here

152
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: in California and in other states. Regarding the electorate, well, Robert,

153
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: I think that's a very good warning. It's a little

154
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: bit like football games, which are never over till they're over.

155
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: Klis and I are on one share of packerstockt we

156
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: watched this year when they won in the last four seconds,

157
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: in the last three seconds, and in the last sixteen seconds.

158
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: So you're right, nobody should be complacent. But the trend

159
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: lines are certainly very bad, and I must say, since

160
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: you're in California, we have a very good friend, Matt

161
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: Gunderson who's running for the state legislature in Orange County,

162
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: and anybody you know in California can tell Matt Gunderson

163
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: is a great person, a great business leader, a terrific

164
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,359
Speaker 1: family man, and he will do a great job in Sacramento.

165
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: So I just thought, since you're from California, I thought

166
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: i'd put that plug in. This is Cheryl, mister speaker.

167
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: A few days ago, I saw a short clip from

168
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: Mark Tison on Fox News, and his perspective I hadn't

169
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: heard before. He was basically saying that he thought AOC

170
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: and her folks were Leninists and that they were actually

171
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: willing to lose in the mid terms because they figured

172
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: at a certain point they would come back into power

173
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: and just continue to push their agenda. I'm wondering what

174
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: you think about that, about calling them leninists who basically

175
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: don't mind losing a bit because they knew in the

176
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: end they think fell win. First of all, if you're

177
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: in Livingstone, I'm trying to remember, is there a Manhattan

178
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: grill in Livingstone? There's a Livingstone grill. I was out

179
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: there one year at the Museum of the Rockies. So

180
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: I have great fond memories of being in the big

181
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: sky state and the wonderful world that you all live in. Anyhow,

182
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: Leninism is a very particular position of governing from the top,

183
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: the use of power to coerce people, and was expanded

184
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: on by Stalin in a book on the history of

185
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: the Russian Revolution, which I have tried to read, and

186
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: I will tell you is very very hard to read.

187
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: I was reading it when Claire Christensen and I were

188
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: writing the book on Trump versus China, because it was

189
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: very clear that Lenin and Stalin were central to the

190
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party, and in fact that Dung Chaupeng had

191
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: gone to Moscow and spent a year in the early

192
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties studying at Lenin University, and they were so

193
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: deeply committed to Leninism and to Stalin's implementation of Leninism

194
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: that when Khrushchov gave his famous secret speech in nineteen

195
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: fifty six saying that Stalin had done bad things, the

196
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: Chinese really regarded him as a heretic and a traitor.

197
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: And I would say that to understand Jijian Peng, you

198
00:12:54,120 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: have to understand Leninism. I suspect that all nobody in

199
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: the squad is educated well enough to truly understand what

200
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Leninism is, and none of them would have been able

201
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: to wade through Stalin's book because it is truly and

202
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: I say this as somebody who's got a PhD in

203
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: European history, it is hard to read. I've read enough

204
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: of it to realize it's really central to understanding the

205
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: principles that were at the core of the communist version

206
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: of Russian of us. Remember, the First Revolution involves Kerensky,

207
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: who's a moderate, and it's trying to establish a liberal

208
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: democratic replacement for the czar and the aristocracy. It can't

209
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: solve the key problems. And the Second Revolution has led

210
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: by Lenin and Stalin and Trotzky, and it imposes a

211
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: real dictatorship. They fight a civil war until nineteen twenty

212
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: three and before they finally have completely dominated the country.

213
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: So it was a long process. It wasn't an easy process.

214
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't want understim my AOC, but I doubt if

215
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: she's really spent a lot of time studying that. I think,

216
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: on the other hand, by Leninism, you mean the imposition

217
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: from the top down. Then they are clearly leninists, and

218
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: in fact, virtually everybody on the hard left in that

219
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: sense wants to impose its autalitarian state. And once they

220
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: tell you what you're allowed to say, they tell you

221
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: what you're allowed to believe, they tell you what the

222
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: rules of the game are, and you obey or you

223
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: get punished by the government. And you see the Biden

224
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: administration in that sense adopting many of the core principles

225
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: of a lenarinous system. I mean, using the FBI to

226
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: go after parents who speak up at a school board

227
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: meeting is pretty darn close to its autolitarian state. And

228
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: I think that this whole model, I mean, telling people

229
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: if they don't get vaccinated, they'll not only lose their job,

230
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: they'll lose their pension. I mean, this is a level

231
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: of coercion that we have never seen in peacetime in America,

232
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: and frankly, we don't see it much even a wartime.

233
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: These guys are really grotesque and how willing they are

234
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: use the power of government to punish American citizens, who,

235
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: after all, are supposed to be free, have rights that

236
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: come directly from God and are protected by the Bill

237
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: of Rights, and you can tell that the modern Democrats

238
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: don't care about any of that. They don't care about

239
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: the rule of law, they don't care about the Constitution.

240
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: We have an Attorney general who is I think devastatingly dangerous.

241
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: You've had more and more evidence piling up during the

242
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Trump years, the FBI and the CIA who are breaking

243
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: the law. The people are supposed to enforce the law,

244
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: we're breaking it. So I think your question was a

245
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: very good one. Hello, mister speaker, This is Gary Gins

246
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: and I think you remember me from your detail and

247
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm from Washington, DC. So my question, mister speaker, is

248
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the future of law enforcement

249
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: as far as the movement of defunding the police, which

250
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: is outrageous and we all know that when a budget

251
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: cut the fund takes place use it. The first one

252
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: of the first cuts is the training. And we need

253
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: more training for our law enforcement officers who sacrifice their

254
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: lives every day to protect them serve our society. That's

255
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: one question I had And the other one is also

256
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: also have a concern about the mental wellness of law

257
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: enforcement as well well. I think both of those are

258
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: very important questions. To answer the second one. First, I

259
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: think when you're called names and you're described in hateful ways,

260
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: and I mean we had a person running as a

261
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Democrat in Seattle who said openly I hate the police. Well,

262
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: if you're some young policeman who wants to serve the

263
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: community and you think what you're doing is noble and

264
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: you're willing to risk your life to protect people, man,

265
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: how does it feel to be told that they hate him?

266
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: And I think that does have them morale effect. You said,

267
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: a big effect on recruiting. And of course Governor de

268
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: Sandis has been very clever in Florida and offer the

269
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars bonus for any policeman who wants to

270
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: move into Florida. So he's scarping up. You know, New

271
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: York and Chicago and Seattle policeman who are going, okay,

272
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: I get to golfer every weekend and I'm getting five

273
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: grand and they actually like me. I would say a

274
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: second that my personal belief is that the tide is turning.

275
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: You look at the mayor's election in New York. They

276
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: actually elected an African American former policeman, in fact, head

277
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: of the undercover police force that beleft hates a guy

278
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: who had been a Republican. He's made very clear since

279
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: he won the election. But he's actually going to do

280
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: what he said, and he is going to strengthen the police.

281
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: You're going to put planes, close people back on the street,

282
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: and if in fact Black lives matter riots as they

283
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: have threatened, he just said bluntly he's going to lock

284
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: him up, and he's not intimidated. I was very fortunate

285
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: the other day for those of you who don't get

286
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: the News World podcast, which I recommend highly and you

287
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: get it for free you sign up Barded English three sixty,

288
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: we had a wonderful opportunity to have a podcast with

289
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: Chief Bill Broughton, who was an amazing head of the

290
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: police force in New York with Giuliani was also the

291
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: head of the police force in Boston and Los Angeles,

292
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: and it's probably the pioneering police officer of our lifetime.

293
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: We had a great interview and I think he's optimistic

294
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: that the tide is turning. That when people realize that

295
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: in fact, murder rates go up, rapes go up, robberies

296
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: go up, they suddenly say wait a second. And even

297
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: in the African American community, there's a huge majority that

298
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: wants to have more and better train police, and you

299
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: put your finger on a key part of this. We

300
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: have to be committed to training if in fact we're

301
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: going to have good police. And we have to accept

302
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: the training costs money because you're taking them off the

303
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: street and you're putting him into a school or you're

304
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: putting them into a training program. But that that's absolutely

305
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: essential to have the kind of positive policing that we want.

306
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: Great questions, and I appreciate you're asking Peter for water.

307
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 1: I lived in the home city and state of Joe Biden.

308
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: My question is this, do you think that Biden company

309
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: are willing to lose if they are able to substantially

310
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: and radically change America so that their actions cannot be reversed.

311
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: Or are they just playing nuts? Oh? I think half

312
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: and half. I think coamologist nuts. She's probably the worst

313
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: vice president in American history, with the possible exception of

314
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Burger turned out to be a traitor and who

315
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: shot Alexander Hamilton. But she'd be second if you want

316
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: to really quibble over those things. I don't think they

317
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: want to lose. I think that they know they're probably

318
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: going to lose, and they're going to do as much

319
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: damage as they can on the way out, and I

320
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: don't think they believe that backing off will get them anything.

321
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: There are two things going on here. One is they're

322
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: really big government socialists and they're really committed to a

323
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: hard left, woke worldview. And the other is they're really incompetent.

324
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: They don't know how to fix the logicity, they don't

325
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: understand what's causing inflation. They have no idea how to

326
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: fix the schools. They have no concept of how to

327
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: deal with immigration. And so I think they showed you

328
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: that when they withdrew from Afghanistan. I mean that withdrawal

329
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: was so painful, cost of thirteen young Americans absolutely unnecessarily

330
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: was designed so badly that frankly every senior officer associated

331
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: that should have been fired. And as really weakens the

332
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: Pentagon to have people who are losers wandering around the

333
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: building pretending that what they did was legitimate, because it

334
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: creates a kind of sickness, which is a good friend

335
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: of mine said, it was the equivalent watching the French

336
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: generals in the nineteen twenties who were defeatists and who

337
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: assumed the Germany would beat them. And I think you've

338
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: got people in the Pentagon now who really couldn't tell

339
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: the truth of their life depended on it. They're so

340
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: used to lying about what they're doing, and what they

341
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: did in Afghanistan was destructive and they had to pretend

342
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: it made sense, and it militarily made no sense at

343
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: all what they did. Good afternoon. This is John Retterson

344
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: from Holly Springs, North Carolina. My question was, if, in fact,

345
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: the real hardcore Democrat base that's really the Zealots, is

346
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: such a minor part of registered Democrats. Are there people

347
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: outside of government, the money people or whatever that really

348
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: might bring pressure to bear on Biden and harrassed to

349
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: either change or even force them to step aside. If

350
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: you're Joe Biden, what do you gain by stepping aside?

351
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: There's no practical reason for him to step aside. Jill

352
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't wanting to. Hunter, wouldn't wanting to His staff

353
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't wanting to. CNN, to my great shock, has reported

354
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: they had sourced over thirty five people talking about the

355
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: bitter infighting between Harris and Biden and their staffs, which

356
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: is why yesterday you had this absurdity of Biden and

357
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: Harris hand in hand dancing their way to the signing

358
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: ceremony in the Rose Garden. I mean, one of the

359
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: weirdest moments in modern American government to totally inauthentic, totally funny,

360
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: but trying to convince the rest of us, oh, there's

361
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: really no problem here, we really love each other. Neither

362
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: of them gained by leaving. They have the White House,

363
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: they have Air Force one, they have Marine one, they

364
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: have Camp David. You know, it's a cool job, and

365
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: they're not going to voluntarily give up. And frankly, no

366
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: one has the kind of power that could force them

367
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: to leave, and the idea that you could bring in

368
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment, because Biden clearly has some problems,

369
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: falling asleep, for example, in public at the Global Warming conference,

370
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: or stumbling around not knowing what he's saying, that sort

371
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: of thing. But nobody's going to replace Biden with Harris.

372
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: I mean, Harris is the greatest insurance policy any as

373
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: it has ever had. So you know, I think even

374
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: the Democrats are just hoping to get through the four

375
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: years then find a way to get rid of Harris.

376
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: Let me just say to everybody. I really appreciate your

377
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: telling folks about the Inner Circle, and I really appreciate

378
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: your telling folks about Bo and Biden. I think we're

379
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: onto something and I think it's working, and with your help,

380
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: I think we're going to turn the country around. And

381
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm very grateful for your support and your interests, and

382
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:30,280
