1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: On this episode of News World. As we approach the

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: midterm elections on Tuesday, November eighth, we're facing record breaking inflation,

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: high rates of crime across the country, huge waves of

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: migrants coming over the southern border. I think this November's

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: elections are some of the most important in our history

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: because the votes people cast are truly going to decide

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: the future of our country for the next decade or more.

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: As one of the architects of the Contract with America

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: almost thirty years ago, I do believe it's important for

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: leaders to tell the American people what they stand for.

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: And Republicans in the House have released the Commitment to America,

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: which is similar to the Contract, and that it is

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: very clear what policies Leader McCarthy and the Republicans will

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: deliver on if they take over the House in January.

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: And let me say out front, I believe that this

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: podcast is with the next Speaker of the House. I

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: do believe they're going to win. I also have to

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: say before introduce him, that I have known Kevin for

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: a very long time. In fact, I think he was

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: getting his boy Scout badge and government when I first

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: met him. I've watched him learn and grow and work.

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: He is going to be I think a historic speaker

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: and somebody who will return the House to being the

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: people's house. Kevin, welcome and thank you for joining me

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: again on Newts World. Well, thank you, mister speaker, and

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate all the way if you've done for this country.

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: But you are correct. The American public should be able

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: to have a contrast when it comes to the election.

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: They should be able to decide which direction they want

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: America to go. That's why we have for the last

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: year and a half, all the members in the Republican

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Conference have been put into different task forces to look

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: at the challenges that you just spoke of that America

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: has been fighting with and come up with solutions and

35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: we rolled those out in Pittsburgh on Friday. And why

36
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: did we do that. We want this election to be

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: about issues. We want America decide where do you want

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: to go. Do you want to have a stronger economy.

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: Do you want to have a nation that is safe.

40
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: Do you want to have a future that's built on freedom?

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: Do you want your government to be held accountable? And

42
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: people will say yes to that, but what does that

43
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: really mean? Well, I will tell you on the very

44
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: first day. If you want an economy that's strong, you

45
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: got to cut the wasteful spending. So on that very

46
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: first day, we will cut the funding for eighty seven

47
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: thousand more IRS agents that were only put through with

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: the Democrats to go after American public, especially the middle class.

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: We will make sure we're energy independent, lower the price

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: of gasoline, which will also lower inflation. And the supply

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: chain that we have lost and become dependent on China.

52
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: We're going to bring that back to America. Just a

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: few things under making an economy that's stronger. That we're

54
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: pledging to the American public exactly what we'll do, and

55
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: their vote can determine whether that happens. You know, one

56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: of the things that most impressed me, again having done

57
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: this myself a long time ago, you actually are much

58
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: more sophisticated and have been much more invested in this

59
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: than we ever were. And as I understand it, you

60
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: actually began organizing very early in this Congress, well over

61
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: a year ago to get people thinking in a positive

62
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: way about how they can solve problems and return us

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: to an America that works. Could you talk to us

64
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: for a second about how you went out to your

65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: members and explain to them and got them engaged, because

66
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: I remember you allowed me to come down and be

67
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: with you at your last planning retreat, and I was

68
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: astonished how many members were already committed and thinking and

69
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: working on how they were going to try to solve

70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: the nation's problems. And that goes back well over a year. Yeah. Well,

71
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: if you go back to last a LAC, we were

72
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: thirty one thousand, seven hundred fourteen votes short of winning

73
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: the majority out of one hundred and fifty two million,

74
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: So we had actually thought about what if you become

75
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: the majority? What would you do? We have a number

76
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: of members who work towards that way. Even though we're

77
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: in the minority, we don't have the thought of being

78
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: in the minority. We are elected to govern and we

79
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: propose solutions. So you're correct. I invited you to that

80
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: planning session and if you notice, there weren't any other

81
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: speakers besides members themselves because what we were sitting together

82
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: going through, and that wasn't our only time. We would

83
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: break it out into different categories, and we did it

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: through members brought people in to talk to us. But

85
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: we would hold these meetings every single week, and every

86
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: member could be a part of them. We'd have a

87
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: separate conference during the week outside of our normal one,

88
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: just on one certain topic, be at the border, and

89
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: you'd have a number of members that would not only

90
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 1: be educated on it, but traveling down to the border,

91
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: which I'll give you one example. I went there about

92
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago talking to a border agent.

93
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: I was asking them, how is it different. They said,

94
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, we're catching people on the Terrace watch list. Well,

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: I happened to be having a press conference right after that.

96
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: I said, at the press conference, we're now catching people

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: on the terrorist watch list coming across this border. The

98
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: Democrats attacked me and said I was lying. This was

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: coming from Democrats who are on the Armed Services Committee

100
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: and others. Well, when I proved that it was not

101
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: a lie, you know what this administration did tried to

102
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: withhold the information now from Congress. You know, we got

103
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: two people on different days from Yemen coming into California.

104
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: Why would they be coming there on the terrorist watch

105
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: list from Yemen? And what do they have planned? And

106
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: so as we worked together, we were crafting legislation. We're

107
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: using committees and one thing you've learned new Sometimes committees

108
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: have joint jurisdiction and the bills would slow down. So

109
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: what we did on the Task Force would put every

110
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: committee that had jurisdiction together. So when we take the

111
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: majority is not something we hope to get done. We're

112
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: ready to go on that very first day that those

113
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: committees will be at work. And the other thing we've

114
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: put a lot of thought into is, as you know,

115
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: structure dictates behavior, and the Congress today is not what

116
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: it was when you were here. People don't have to

117
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: show up for work anymore. Members of Congress, they proxy

118
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: vote bills, don't have to go through committees. You start

119
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: out by walking through magnetometers and finding members five thousand dollars.

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: You take away the motion to recommit, for the minority

121
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: to even have a motion or an amendment on a bill.

122
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: So you had a whole system that the power rested

123
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: with the speaker instead of what the American people designed

124
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: of loaning their voice to their member to be heard.

125
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: And so we're going to wipe all that away, make

126
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: Congress live under the rules of America, make it perform

127
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: the way it was designed to in what America truly believe, Well,

128
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: if I could interject for a second, because people say

129
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: to me, these pledges are fine, but how do you

130
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: make it literally? On the opening day of Congress, you

131
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: will have a new set of House rules, and so

132
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: you can abolish things like proxy voting literally the very

133
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: first day of Congress. You can wipe out the magnetometers

134
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: the very first day of Congress. So this isn't just

135
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: sort of political language. You actually have a plan, as

136
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: I understand it, to implement in virtually real time from

137
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: the moment you're sworn in as speaker. We do you

138
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: know this as a student of history, you know there's

139
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: only been four times in the last hundred years as

140
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: a House flip from Republican to Democrat. You proved it

141
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: after forty years, I mean, in your contract with America,

142
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: we've had ability to know. Now if you got the

143
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: majority of what you could do on that very first day,

144
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: probably one of the most important things you do are

145
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: the rules of the House, because that's the day you

146
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: propose it, we will wipe away proxy voting. And what

147
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: does that mean to the American public that the person

148
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: you lend your voice to is going to have to

149
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: come to Washington in a committee and be on the

150
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: floor and deliver your message and vote instead of getting

151
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: a paycheck and being at a wedding in France for

152
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: some movie star. I just don't think that's what the

153
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: American people expect. There's some members who have never been

154
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: back since they voted for Speaker. They've just been home.

155
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: How can they participate their almost malpractice for their constituents

156
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: by not being here. And you have Democrats who say

157
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: bills don't have to go through committees. I have took

158
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: ten different members out to MT. MT has a course

159
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: to teach generals in our military artificial intelligence and quantum

160
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: Whichever country is able to capture that first will have

161
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: an advantage over others. Well, I've watched Democrats create every

162
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: committee into a political committee. Look what happened to the

163
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: Intel Committee. It's now become a political committee where they

164
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: missed what happened in Afghanistan because Shift is only worried

165
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: about impeachment. You've got to Swallowell who the FBI tells

166
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: you has a relationship with a China spy and they

167
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: keep them on there. When Swawo leaves Congress, he cannot

168
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: get a security clearance in the private sector, but the

169
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: government of America provides him the biggest security clearance. Now

170
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: there's two hundred other Democrats could take that job if

171
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: I happen to be speaker, Republicans and Democrats alike. We've

172
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: got MIT developing a course on artificial intelligence and quantum.

173
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: Have the members take it together so they understand the

174
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: strength and weaknesses of America and what's coming before us.

175
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: Same thing with armed services. We can change the course.

176
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: And this is the real debate that your listeners need

177
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: to understand. The Democrats who brought us inflation with their

178
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: two trillion dollar bill that only they voted for, that

179
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: brought us crime back into our streets at our highest

180
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: level in twenty years, because they defund the police and

181
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: they elect these liberal prosecutors who will not uphold the

182
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: law to a border that is wide open. Now, fitten

183
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: All is killing the equivalent of one full airliner everyday

184
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: crashing in America. The number one death to Americans between

185
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: the ages of eighteen and forty five entnol and they

186
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: have no plan to fix it. That's what a commitment is.

187
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: It is our plan for a new direction for America. Hi,

188
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: this is newt We have serious decisions to make about

189
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: the future of our country. Americans must confront big government socialism,

190
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: which has taken over the modern Democratic Party, big business, news, media, entertainment,

191

Speaker 1: and academia. My new best selling book, Defeating Big Government

202
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: of the things I was struck with that really made

203
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: me look at your leadership was that all of the

204
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: experts said in twenty twenty that the House Republicans were

205
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: going to lose twenty five seats. You actually ended up

206
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: gaining fifteen, which is a swing of forty from the projection,

207
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: and you did it by really remarkably aggressive recruiting of

208
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: women and minorities. Can you comment just for a second

209
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: about how much you have reached out to broaden the party,

210
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: which is now going to make a commitment. Look, I

211
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: believe this party is inclusive, and that's what I want

212
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: to be. You're right that last election, the generic ballot

213
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: at that time was Democrat six point eight, so it

214
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: was going to be a bad night for Republicans. And

215
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: we lost the Senate, we lost the White House. But

216
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: an interesting thing happened in the House that had not

217
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: happened until when you became speaker. It was the first

218
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: time since nineteen ninety four not one Republican incumbent lost.

219
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: And think about that and all that time, twenty ten

220
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: and everything else, and every polster, the Cook report fifteen

221
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: to twenty five seats for public lose and we beat

222
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: fifteen Democrats, but every Democrat lost to a Republican woman,

223
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: a Republican minority, are a Republican veteran. So what I

224
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: really focused on is going across this country, finding people

225
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: who represent their district and give them an opportunity. Do

226
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: you realize in that last election, when the generic ballot

227
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: was so bad for Republicans, we elected the most Republican

228
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: women in the history of the Republican Party. I believe

229
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: in not Washington picking who's to run. Let the stituents

230
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: and give them an opportunity. I'd give you an example.

231
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: We had a special election a couple months ago and

232
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: I was talking to donors across the country saying I

233
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: need some help in this race, and said, we'll tell

234
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: me a little bit about it. Kevin, Okay, Well, this

235
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: is an interesting district. The Democrat retired but leaving early

236
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: to try to become a lobbyist. So I want to

237
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: run a race, but I want to try to win

238
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: it in the primary, which is mathematically harder because more

239
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: people are running. But this district is eighty four percent Hispanic.

240
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: It's a second most Hispanic seat in the country. And

241
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: they said, well, how did they perform and the presidential well,

242
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: just a year and a half ago, Biden won it

243
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: by thirteen and Obama won it by twenty two. They said, well,

244
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: when's the last time a Republican held it, Well, more

245
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: than a century. And they said, well, you must have

246
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: a really good candidate. Said, oh, she's a fabulous candidate.

247
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: If she was to win, she'd be the first Mexican

248
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: born woman ever elected to America. And they said, well

249
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: has she ever been elected anything? No? No, and her

250
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: husband's a border agent. Well, Myra Flores is a congresswoman today.

251
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: And if we have a good night, you know what

252
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: would happened. The entire border in Texas to Mexico would

253
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: be represented by Republicans except one and three of them

254
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: would be Republican Latinas and Tony Gonzalez. Then you go

255
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: to Arizona. I'll give you an example. Juan Cisca Mani,

256
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: Juan Cisca Moni is like everyone in America. Are a

257
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: story about our families. He was born in Mexico. His father, mother,

258
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: and himself came to America. His father still drives the

259
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: bus for the city in Tucson, Arizona. Loves this country dearly.

260
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: On his Christmas tree, the bulbs are the American flag.

261
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: Juan Cisca Mani married his wife, went to Stanford. They

262
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: have six children. He's an economic advisor. When he won

263
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: the nomination, he calls me the next day, Keviny goes,

264
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe how great this country is. My election

265
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: party was two blocks away from the doctor's house. I

266
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: used to go mow the lawn and wash the car

267
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: with my father to earn extra money and this country.

268
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: He just now gave me the opportunity to represent him.

269
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: That's who we are, but that's also who the Republican

270
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: Party is. Right. Republican Party believes that we were conceived

271
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: in liberty and dedicate the proposition that we are all equal.

272
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: Where you look at Wesley Hunt, John James, Jennifer Green,

273
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: all three of these individuals happened to be African American

274
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: but went to West Point in Air Force Academy. They

275
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: serve their nation already, but now they feel a real

276
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: challenge to serve their nation again. This is what our

277
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: opportunity looks like. And I think at the end of

278
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: the day, why will be so successful. The commitment for America,

279
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: I think has generated more people into this party and

280
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: especially in the Hispanic community. I think we're going to

281
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: have one of the biggest nights Republican Party has had,

282
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: but it won't be the last time. It'll continue to

283
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: grow in that context. As you launch this commitment to America,

284
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: giving people who are running for off of something real

285
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: and giving their voters sort of a scorecard to measure

286
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: them by. I'm very curious you decided last Friday to

287
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: launch it publicly in western Pennsylvania. Why did you pick

288
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: that as the site. What were you trying to say

289
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: to the country. Well, Washington is definitely broken. I don't

290
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: want the symbol of Washington. What I've really found the

291
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Republican Party to be, it's the party of the people,

292
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: the working people of America. So we went to Pittsburgh

293
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: to a manufacturing facility, and I was at a manufacturing

294
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: facility just a couple of weeks ago in Scranton, Pennsylvania,

295
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: happens to be the home of our current president. While

296
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: the president goes to Philadelphia gives this speech that we've

297
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: never really heard before. We want to show our policies

298
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: make America stronger. Our plan makes America stronger. We're going

299
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: to bleed that supply chain back from China to America.

300
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: It's a great contrast where the Democrats are dividing America.

301
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: We're offering a new direction to bring us together and

302
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: make us stronger. So it wasn't about symbolism. It's who

303
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: we are and who we represent and where we want

304
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: to be associated with. And in that context, the people

305
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: who are going to be helping you launch it. The

306
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: group that actually will be in Pittsburgh is an amazingly

307
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: diverse group, both in geography and ethnic background and age.

308
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been so impressed as I've had a

309
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: chance on a number of different issues to meet with people,

310
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: and there are really a lot of bright people who

311
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: have i think, probably reacted to how badly the country's

312
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: being governed right now and have kind of come out

313
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: of the woodwork. We're finding that clear across the country.

314
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: Mirah Flora has never run before, didn't know whether she

315
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: could win or not, but that didn't matter to her.

316
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: Or in the last election, a young Kim born in

317
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: South Korea, are Maria Salazar cat Camming the youngest woman

318
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: elected right now into Congress, Or you get a Tony

319
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: Gonzalez downlong the boy. I mean, we've got a number

320
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: of cross sections that were there in Pittsburgh because they've

321
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: been a part of this for the last year and

322
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: a half, listening to their constituents, understanding what we need

323
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: to do. They're hearing from them too. I mean, think

324
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: about where crime is in America today, the highest it's

325
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: been in twenty years, where the only plan the Democrats

326
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: give you is a defunding of the police. We inside

327
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: the commitment talk about supporting two hundred thousand more police officers.

328
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: We're going to give them bonuses recruiting. We're going to

329
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: oppose any efforts to defund them. But we're going to

330
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: do something different as well. We've got legislation in there

331
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: to crack down on these prosecutors and district attorneys who

332
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: refuse to prosecute crimes. That's become a real problem. We

333
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: watched from LA to New York what is happening on

334
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: our streets day after day. And this isn't just a

335
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: issue between Republicans Democa. This is whether you feel safe

336
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: in America, and then you just think about how do

337
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: you build a future that could be built on freedom.

338
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: We're going to pass and what's in commitment is a parents'

339
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: Bill of rights. This whole lost learning that has happened

340
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: to our students during the pandemic, and the Democrats have

341
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: no plan to fix that or to catch these students up,

342
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: and we do. We're going to expand parental choice over

343
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: a million more students. We're going to defend the fairness

344
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: by ensuring only women can compete in women's sports. I mean,

345
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: really our kids. I'm worried about them competing with India

346
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: and China in the changing future. And we've just had

347
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: a whole lost learning for the last two years. So

348
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: we're going to pass a parent's Bill of rights, and

349
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: the DOJ is not going to be able to go

350
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: after parents and call them terrorists simply because they care

351
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: about their kids future and go to a school board

352
00:19:47,600 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: meeting and question what is happening. One of the places

353
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: where you have a pretty clear and specific program outlined

354
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: is into how we secure the southern border, which I

355
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: know has been from your standpoint in California, huge long

356
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: term concern for you. How will the House Republicans and

357
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: implementing the commitment, how would they focus that part of it?

358
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: They're relachs to getting the border under control. Well, if

359
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: anybody wants to read any of this, you go to

360
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: Commitment to America dot com and you can read it all.

361
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: You can see all the policies. But what we'll do

362
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: what the border is. First of all, you got to

363
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: fully fund an effective border enforcement. You gotta have the strategies,

364
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: You got to have the enforcement to be able to

365
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: finish what we have down there. You got to prevent

366
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: the illegal crossings and the trafficking by these cartels. These

367
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: cartels are making a billion dollars a month. So how

368
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: do you do that? You end catch and release loopholes,

369
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: you require legal status to get a job, and you

370
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: eliminate welfare and sentees. We know how to secure a border,

371
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: We know what a secure border looks like. What this

372
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: Biden administration has done is such a hypocrisy. Is not

373
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: just Arizona, it's not just Texas, it's not just California.

374
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: Every community in America has now become a border city

375
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: because we've watched what has happened to fentanyl and the

376
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: crime that is coming across. But you know what's most interesting,

377
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: remember back a week or so ago when fifty people

378
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: were shipped up to Martha's vineyard, the outcry from the

379
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: Democrats about human trafficking. Did they say one word when

380
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: more than fifty individuals died in the back of a

381
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: trailer in Texas? Are the hundreds of thousands of people

382
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: who come across every day? Are the illegal human trafficking

383
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: that is happening with those young children come across is

384
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: coming from one hundred and sixty different countries. And we

385
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: have a president that's never been a border in forty

386
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: two years. A vice president is supposed to be in charge,

387
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: who ignores it, who actually claims that the border is secure?

388
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: They actually claim they are better off today than they

389
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: were two years ago. Gasoline is higher, we got twenty

390
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: million Americans that can't afford their electrical bill, and winter

391
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: is coming. We've got a supply chain that is worse

392
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: today than when he took office after the pandemic. We

393
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: got crime within our streets happening at a higher level

394
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: than we've had in two decades. We've got men competing

395
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: in women's sports. We've got big tech kind of control

396
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: what we were able to say and do to protect

397
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: the president's son, and we've got no accountability in Congress.

398
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: We don't know where COVID originated from. We don't know

399
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: why he made those decisions in Afghanistan that brought us

400
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: thirteen more Gold Star families, And where's the check and

401
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: balance from the runaway spending that brought us? This inflation

402
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: is not us? Who claimed that it was. Even Larry Summers,

403
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: a former Democrat Secretary of Treasury, and Steve Rattner, the

404
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: Democrat advisor to Obama, calls it the original sin of inflation,

405
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: and every person in America should be asked this question,

406
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: could you afford to give up one month of your wages?

407
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: I imagine most all Americans would say no, but they

408
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: have no choice because the Democratic policies have taken that

409
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: one month of your wages in a year is eight

410
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: point three percent. Inflation is eight point three percent, So

411
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: you now have to live for twelve months by only

412
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: making eleven months. That's why they made your life harder,

413
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: more difficult. And we have a plan to change the direction.

414
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: At Commitment to America dot com. We are in such

415
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: a mess that if we're going to restore the America

416
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: that works, it's going to take the kind of comprehensive

417
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: approach that you're developing in I would say all of

418
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: our listeners, having helped develop the Contract with America, the

419
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: Commitment to America is a much more sophisticated, much larger program.

420
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: I also have to put in a brief editorial comment

421
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: that few things have given me more satisfaction then Kamala

422
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: Harris going on meet the press announcing that the border

423
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: was secure, and Governor Abbott promptly sending two bus loads

424
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants to the bus stop next to the

425
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: Vice President's residence. I thought it might have communicated to

426
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: some extent that she didn't know what she was talking about.

427
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 1: I checked over the weekend, and there were eleven hundred

428
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: people a day coming into Opasso every day, eleven hundred people.

429
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: And in that setting, fifty people arriving Martha's vineyard. Of course,

430
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: was a crisis of the first order and led people

431
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: to immediately panic and seek to get the National Guard out.

432
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: And you just had to wonder, I mean, do they

433
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: have no notion of how stupid this all looks? Between

434
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: Amala Harris and our good friends in Massachusetts. I thought

435
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: you couldn't have better examples of how out of touch

436
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: with reality they have become. I have to be honest

437
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: with you. I don't watch MSNBC Morning Joe or the others,

438
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: but I did that day, and I do it the

439
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: day after the election too, because I like to see

440
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: the excuses of me. You should have seen their faces

441
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: about fifty people in Martha's vineyards. They were so upset,

442
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: such hypocrisy of what they have done and what they

443
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: have created. And that's why we went out to Pittsburgh

444
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: to go to real America. To talk about real problems

445
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: and real solutions. You know, it seems like every single

446
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: week Nancy Pelosi takes the plane and goes on a

447
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: farewell tour to another country. You know what we're gonna

448
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: do the day after election, We're gonna get on and

449
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: we're only gonna go to America. We're gonna go to

450
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: different parts of America and continue to sit down with

451
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 1: real Americans talking to them about the commitment. So on

452
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: the very first day, we are prepared, will repeal the

453
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: eighty seven thousand new Highers agents, will establish energy independence

454
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: so your gas price could be lower, so it's not

455
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: like the president who gets excited when your price of

456
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: gas is over six bucks, or you fear in their

457
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: question whether you can afford to pay your winter heating.

458
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: We're going to secure our border to stop what is

459
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: coming across from Fentonel to the individuals on the terrorist

460
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: watch list. We're going to pass the Parents Bill of

461
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: Rights so every parent knows what is being taught in

462
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: their children's school and give them a choice. We're going

463
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: to turn around Washington because what's going to happen is

464
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: these agencies are going to be held accountable for the

465
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: runaway spending for what the lobbyists are trying to direct

466
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: on them. And that is just the beginning. So we

467
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: want everybody to go to Commitment to America dot com.

468
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: Join with us, because we promised to get this through

469
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: the House, but we're going to need your help to

470
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: make it become law well. And I think that's a

471
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: key point to sort of really bring this home with it.

472
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: In the end, the reason we were able to get

473
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton to sign welfare reform and four balanced budgets

474
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: and tax cuts, a whole range of reform measures is

475
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: that the American people did it. It's a lesson I

476
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: had learned from Ronald Reagan, who used to say that

477
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: his job was to turn up the light on the

478
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: American people so they would turn up the heat on Congress.

479
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: And I think taking the momentum you're going to have

480
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: out of the Commitment to America and the momentum that

481
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: your members are going to have, you have a real

482
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: opportunity to build up in November and December and January

483
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: a national grassroots sense of what we have to get

484
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: done that will enable you to carry things through the

485
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: Senate and to carry thing ultimately to force Biden again

486
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: and again into the choice that Clinton faced. I mean,

487
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: Clint didn't sign our bills because he loved it. He

488
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: signed them because he thought the alternative was losing the presidency.

489
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting to see given that Biden is

490
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: both a lot slower than Clinton and that all of

491
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: his advisers are much more radical than Clinton's, I'm not

492
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: sure Biden can reach the same decision, but it will

493
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: set the stage for twenty twenty four. I just want

494
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: to close and say this, Kevin, do you It's hard

495
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: for me to express how really proud I am of

496
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: the way you have very methodically over the last four

497
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: years been leading your conference, bringing them together, talking with them,

498
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: getting them to grow, getting them engaged as a team.

499
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: I think not only are you going to be an

500
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: amazing speaker, but I think you're going to lead an

501
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: amazing conference. And I really look forward to seeing you

502
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: become the Speaker of the House in January. And I

503
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: want to thank you both for having launched this last

504
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,080

505
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: to share with me and our listeners what you're trying

506
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: to accomplish. And I wish you safe trials in a

507
