1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Well, in this episode of News World, do you want 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: to retire Nancy Pelosi? Do you want to end the 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: socialism in this country? Win the House five seats. I 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: do not know what the Chinese Party and government has 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: on the Democrats, but it is so powerful. It is 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: so powerful it is scary. The amount of money that 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: actually goes to defeating the virus is less than nine percent. 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: Outside of the swamp who are struggling through school closures, 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: including the one million mothers who had to quit their 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: jobs to take care of their kids at home with school, 11 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: and the fathers to quit, you are ignored. So don't 12 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: call it a rescue bill. Don't call it a relief bill. 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: The number one priority you got elected to Congress to do, 14 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: forget everything else. I want to make sure I get 15 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: more texts payer money to fund my own campaign. I 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: got to make sure I get reelected, not that the 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: kids go back to school. Democrats call HR one for 18 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: the People Act, but it really should be called for 19 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: the Politicians Act. It's not designed to protect Americans vote. 20 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: It's designed to put a thumb on the scale in 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: every election in America so that Democrats can turn a 22 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: temporary majority into a permanent control. I want to look 23 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: ahead at the twenty twenty two mid term elections from 24 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: the Republican perspective. This is the first in a series 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: of discussions I'll be having with key Republican leaders about 26 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: how we can win back the House and the Senate 27 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: in two twenty two. And frankly, I couldn't think of 28 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: anybody better to help kick off the series. And my 29 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: good guests Congressman Kevin McCarthy, who is the Republican leader 30 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: in the House. I've known Kevin for years. He was 31 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: first elected to Congress in two thousand and six, but 32 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: before that is in the California Legislature, and before that 33 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: he worked in the Congress. So I thought his commitment 34 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: to America in the last election was the kind of 35 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: forward thinking we need to win in twenty twenty two, 36 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: and I have no doubt that he will be the 37 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: next Republican Speaker of the House in twenty twenty two. Kevin, First, 38 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: thank you for joining. Thank you, mister speaker. I'm proud 39 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: to be back with you, and I want to start 40 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: with the twenty election, which from the standpoint of the 41 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: Democrats was a great shock because all the so called 42 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: professional analysts has said they would probably gain ten or 43 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: fifteen seats, and instead you won fifteen seats and you 44 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: did not lose a single Republican incumbent, which is the 45 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: first time since nineteen ninety four did no Republican incumbent lost. 46 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: How did you visualize the twenty twenty campaign then focus 47 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: in on getting the kind of commitment that you got. Well, 48 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: thank you speaking, you know, I was very proud out 49 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: of that number that it was only the first time 50 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: since you were leading in nineteen ninety four that no 51 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: Republican incumbent loss. And what was even sweeter about it 52 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: was every stingle person in politics said our best night 53 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: would be minus ten. They predicted fifteen to twenty seats lost, 54 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: and not one lost. Another little known fact of the 55 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: fifteen seats we won, every Democrat was beat by a 56 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: Republican woman or a Republican minority, every single one of them. 57 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: And another little fact, okay, about one hundred and fifty 58 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: two million votes, we were thirty one thousand, seven hundred 59 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: and fifty one votes away from winning the majority out 60 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: of one hundred and fifty two million. That is how 61 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: close we came. Out of little fact only three time 62 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: in the history of America did the Party in the 63 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: White House lose and the party still gained seats eighteen 64 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: ninety two, nineteen ninety two in twenty twenty in the 65 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: other two in sinces. Both times they gained the majority 66 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: in the next election. So a few other facts of 67 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: how we went about doing it. The plan was pretty straightforward. 68 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: You were correct about the commitment to America. Our candidates 69 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: used this throughout. It told us what we are for. 70 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: We are for rebuilding, renewing, and restoring America. But we 71 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: contrasted which said exactly what the Democrats were there. They 72 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: want to defund dismantle what we knew, and we specifically 73 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: said what we would do. Whereas the Democrats wanted to 74 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: defund the police, we wanted to add one point seven 75 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: five billions in there. That added five hundred thousand more 76 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: body cameras. Look what we'd go about doing. We said 77 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: we'd have a vaccine by twenty twenty. We did that, 78 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: proved it. But there's a couple of things. And you're 79 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: a man who loves history, I love to listen to you. 80 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: But if you watched the similarities in modern history with 81 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: the US and the UK, the movement of the Republicans, 82 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: the movement of Brexit and others. You had Boris Johnson, 83 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: who just had an election. Boris's own brother quits his 84 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: cabinet a few months before the election, not thinking he 85 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: could win. Boris has a tough time to go, but 86 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: he has a number of seats that the Labor Party has, 87 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: but they voted for Brexit. He followed that and he 88 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: ended up with a bigger election than Margaret Thatcher had. 89 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: We had thirty seats that Democrats sat in that Donald 90 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: Trump won. Of those thirty seats, you could go and 91 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: you could calculate there was eight point five million Americans 92 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: who voted in twenty sixteen but did not vote in 93 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. We know who they were, we know where 94 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: they lived. So when you take a race like Charleston, 95 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: South Carolina, where Nancy May's seas an individual and something 96 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: I did differently this time, I would engage in primaries 97 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: because if you sit back and just wait who gets through. 98 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: Is that the best person to win in November? Lots 99 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: of times that is not true. And it also helps 100 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: Republican women in minority get a level playing filled to win. 101 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: That was our number one seat. Whereas we lost it 102 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: in the last election by roughly about thirty eight hundred votes. 103 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: We would have wanted by thirty thousand if the turnout 104 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: was in twenty sixteen. So even though they had a 105 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: competitive Senate race where the Democrat against Lindsay Graham race 106 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: more than one hundred million dollars, the Democrats are now 107 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: funding all the ground game. The polling said Nancy was 108 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: behind the whole time, but I would never give up 109 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: on the race because I knew when you got back 110 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: to a normal turnout presidential turnout with Donald Trump on it, 111 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: We're going to win well. And behold, we won by 112 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: one point. Of the twenty nine seats that were competitive, 113 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: We won every single one of them. What they said 114 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: it was a toss up, and what I did, I 115 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: would follow that same pattern where I'd go and look 116 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: for the very best candidate and think about what we 117 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: did in Florida and Miami two seats Maria Sala's arm 118 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: Carlos Amenez unbelievable and those are not Republican seats, those 119 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: are Democrats seats. But the issue overwhelmingly was about freedom, 120 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,559 Speaker 1: and it was the socialist wing of the Democratic Party 121 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: that had taken over the defunding of the police. And 122 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: of all the places, look at California. We won four 123 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: seats from where we were two years before. Mike Garcia 124 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: won in that special but he won again that night. 125 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: Of those four seats, Donald Trump loses California by five million. 126 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: He loses all four of those seats. Three of them 127 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: he loses by double digits. But in the home state 128 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: of Nancy Pelosi. But I proudly saved my home state. 129 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: We beat them. We defeated the incumbents. That proves we 130 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: could win every single place. Now we're down to a 131 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: five seat majority the Democrats are That is the slimmest 132 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: majority they had in more than one hundred years. Now, 133 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: let's look forward. Last time, you would have said the 134 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: Senate had the wind at their back for Republicans. The 135 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: presidency was a toss up due to COVID, but everybody 136 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: guaranteed the Democrats would gain in the House, and they didn't. 137 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: Well in this next cycle. If we look to history, 138 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: the party in power, whoever wins the White House on 139 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: average loses twenty seven seats in that first election. Well, 140 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: that would be good for us, But there's something that 141 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: changes in this next election. It's redistricting. Now, if you 142 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: look at the current numbers of redistricting, who gains and 143 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: who loses, not by party but by state. Well, California, Illinois, 144 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: New York loses, and for California, it's the first time 145 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: in the history that it's been a state that it's 146 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: going to lose. It always gained a sept last time 147 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: it broke. Even Now if I go to the Cook Report, 148 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 1: and you've got to put that in perspective, because the 149 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: Cook Report said we'd lose fifteen seats they ride. Our 150 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: initial forecast is that the Republicans might reasonably expect to 151 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: net zero to ten seats from new maps. In other words, 152 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: they could gain all six seats they need for a 153 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: House control from reapportionment and redistricting. The reason why he 154 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: looks towards that he sits there and says the latest 155 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: census estimates suggests Texas and Florida will once again be 156 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: the big winners, Texas gaining three, Florida gaining two, likely 157 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: gaining three and two seats respectively. Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North 158 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: Carolina are on track to gain one seat each. It's 159 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: also possible Republicans can try to act Democrats seats in 160 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: smaller states like Indiana, Kentucky or Missouri, Democrats jeremanding possibilities 161 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: are more limited. They might be able to squeeze a 162 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: handful of more seats of Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, and Oregon, 163 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: but that's about it. So you're going into play a 164 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: race where everybody has to run again. Now, I think 165 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: you're going to start seeing some retirements from some older 166 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: Democrats who see that the socialist wing of the party 167 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: they're going to be primaried or we're going to beat them, 168 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: just like we beat in Minnesota. Michelle Fischbach Peep, the 169 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: sitting chair of the ad Committee, who's been there more 170 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: than thirty years, every time we tried, didn't think they 171 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: could ever beat them. We beat them in the last race. 172 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: By the way, I have to come in my entire career, 173 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: we kept trying to beat him so he couldn't do it. 174 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: My hat is off to you. Well, I will tell 175 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: you I've tried to beat him since I've been here 176 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: as well, and he's very, very difficult. But when you 177 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: go into the modeling, that seed had the highest vote 178 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: for President Trump that a Democrat held, So people should 179 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: know where we were to play. But even a very 180 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: interesting race, I'd tell you that broke late that I 181 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: wanted to win, but we probably just didn't start early enough. 182 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: Sherry Bustos, the chair of the D Triple C. Whatever 183 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: she raised last cycle, I think she probably raised somewhere 184 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 1: like five or six million. She spent seven and a 185 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: half million on her own race when she's a D 186 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: Triple C chair, and then she had the Democratic Operation 187 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: wing the D Triple C come in and the superpack 188 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: come in for and she barely held on. Now there 189 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: are a number of races. As you know, you didn't 190 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: win the first time you ran, and we have a 191 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: number of people like that like Andy Barr, Steve Stivers, 192 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: Jackie o'warski, and when I look at Maria Salazar and 193 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: young from California and Florida, they ran and came close 194 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: last time, but then they won this time. There are 195 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: a number of candidates like that, like Wesley Hunt in Texas. 196 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: If people love John James, Wesley Hunt was his roommate 197 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: at West Point. He flew apaches, he ran a very 198 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: close race. I believe this time he'll win. Alex Garlatos, 199 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: you might have heard that name in the past. He's 200 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: one of the three Americans who stopped that terrorist attack 201 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: on that Paris train and they made a movie about it. 202 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: He started his cell he ran in Oregon against Defasio. 203 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: Now you'll remember de Fasio because he's been here more 204 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: than thirty some years and he started the Progressive Caucus 205 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: with Bernie Sanders. Now this is Oregon, so people think 206 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: it would be difficult right now, this is a seat 207 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: that if you looked at the congressional district, Donald Trump 208 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: in the first election only lost it by like five 209 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: hundred votes. Well, Alex started and this is what happens 210 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: and why some candidates are run six times. They're new, 211 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: they're green, and they really don't take off till late 212 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: in the campaign. So they end up getting forty seven 213 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: forty eight percent of the vote. Well, what they run 214 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: the next time. They don't start at zero again, they 215 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: started around forty three forty four. And if I was 216 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: one of those Democrats, I would think about retiring ron Kind. 217 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: I don't think he wins again. Matt Cartwright in Pennsylvania, 218 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be able to pull 219 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: it out. If I was him, I probably wouldn't run. 220 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: Sherry Bustos the same way or slocan in Minnesota. Iowa 221 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: is one of our best states. You had Ashley Hinson, 222 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: who I think is one of the best candidates recruited 223 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: win and then you had Marian Meeks who she won 224 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: with six votes. Two new seats we pulled in Iowa 225 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: and the last one we only lost by two points. 226 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: You lost nationwide. I noticed like in New York as 227 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: well as Iowa, you were winning a number of very 228 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: close races. Yeah, it mattered, every vote mattered, but probably 229 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: one of the most interesting. And you have to understand 230 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: new we were outspent, so if people were there, and 231 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: money is important in a race, but not the most 232 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: important the quality of the candidate. And there's no better 233 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: race to show that between Max Rose and Nicole malataucas 234 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: Staten Island, Okay. Max Rose had so much money and 235 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: the Democrats put in there and this is where Bloomberg 236 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: money would come in. They're paying because the network, as 237 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: you know when you go there, it's almost two to 238 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: three million dollars just a week to be on television. 239 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: But this is where the power of the message is 240 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: so much bigger. Max Rose went and walked about defunding 241 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: the police out spent is probably three to one, but 242 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: Nicole malataucas beat him because her message was stronger. And 243 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: we actually started running fifteen second ads because we couldn't 244 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: afford thirty seconds, but the message was so powerful we 245 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: didn't need the extra fifteen seconds. You know, one of 246 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: the things you did there was maybe historically the most important, 247 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: because you managed to recruit an amazing class of women, 248 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: and I think the largest class of minority candidates we've 249 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: ever had. How did you know about doing that? Well? 250 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: I was a recruitment chair in twenty ten and I 251 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: like to look at a lot of metrics, and I 252 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: sat back and looked. There were a number of times 253 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: where we recruited a number of women, but we didn't 254 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: elect a lot tick For instance, in twenty eighteen, when 255 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: Paul Ryan was chairman, they recruited a lot of women, 256 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: but after the primary, there were only forty four women 257 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: who got it through the primary that had an opportunity 258 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: to win in the general. In this cycle, you know 259 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: how many women passed the primary, ninety five, So right there, 260 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: we doubled our odds. And to do that, this is 261 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: what I did. I would go around looking for people 262 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: who had the quality to run, and sometimes they would think, oh, 263 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of women. I don't see 264 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: a lot of minorities. And to be truthful newt for 265 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: a woman Republican or a woman minority, winning the general 266 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: election is the most difficult one. Winning the primary is 267 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: more difficult. So what I did was different than some 268 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: other leaders. I would lean in and I would get 269 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: involved in some primary if I thought they were the 270 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: very best people to win in the general election. I 271 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: would engage in the primary, and I put my name 272 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: on the line. And I felt as though I had 273 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: to do that for the risk of being able to 274 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: win seats. Now, if I was to lose, throw me out. 275 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: But I think in the end, we have now elected 276 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: more Republican women in this election than at any other time. 277 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: And I got to be frank when I sat at 278 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: the State of the Union when I became leader, and 279 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: I looked out, You've been there so many times where 280 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: they stand up, and you've had a much better view 281 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: because you were looking at it from the speaker's point 282 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: of view, where you see everybody. When the Democratic Party 283 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: stood up in the Republican Party stood up, I thought 284 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: to myself, this is not reflective of the Republican Party. 285 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: I know this is not reflective when I go and 286 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: give a speech and who I look into the crowd. 287 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: It's not the Party of Lincoln, where everybody conceived in 288 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: liberty and everybody's dedicated proposition that we're all equal. And 289 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: so I've got to be able to help with that. 290 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: And I would go district by district and I talked 291 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: to people at the opportunities to run, the opportunities to win. 292 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: And as I went to campaign, I would say, look, 293 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: i'm raising money. If I'm able to raise this much money, 294 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to play in this district. So you ought 295 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: to come in because we're going to be competitive here. 296 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: And I think it was a lot had to do 297 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: with the policies of what the Democrats were possessing. They 298 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: had now taken the majority in the House. We watched 299 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: what they were doing on the socialist agenda, the rise 300 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: of AOC, and it inspired more women to run. Today 301 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: in America, our individual religious liberties are under attack. One 302 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: of the great challenges of our time is to promote 303 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: and preserve these sacred freedoms before they disappear. For on 304 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: this week's episode of Outlow with Giano Caldwell I discuss 305 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: how to do just that with the great doctor Ben 306 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: Carson the world. We're now newer surgeon, the former Secretary 307 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: of Housing and Urban Development. Doctor Carson just founded a 308 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: new think tank dedicated to conserving our liberty, helping the vulnerable, 309 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: fine hope, and championing conservative solutions to America's problems. Listen 310 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: to Outlie with Giano Caldwell every Monday on the iHeartRadio app, 311 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I think 312 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: just the day before yesterday, the Democratic Socialist of America 313 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: actually took control of the Nevada Democratic Party. Yes, in 314 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: terms of your campaign thing, it's kind of like they 315 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: have to rush out and brand themselves across their forehead. Yes, 316 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: we really are socialists. Please don't be confused. But don't 317 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: you find this rush to the left kind of astonishing, 318 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: unbelievable to happen in our country. But they're racing it 319 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: so strongly. And look, you served with Bernie Sanders. I 320 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: don't know what bill he's ever passed, but he is 321 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: now the Chairman of the Budget Committee in the Senate. 322 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: He's always been a socialist and he's always stuck to 323 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: being a socialist, but that's now what they have become. 324 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: That's what they believe. And I think if you ever 325 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: truly spent time with them ahead of time, you knew 326 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: they thought that they would talk about it privately, but 327 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: they never thought they could win it on the outfit. 328 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: Now they're bold, and I believe this. I believe they 329 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: know they're going to lose in two years, that they 330 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: know this presidency of Biden, who doesn't profess to do 331 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: a budge of anything, but it's now. Looking at this 332 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: so called COVID bill that less than nine percent is in, 333 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: they call it the most progressive bill that's ever passed, 334 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: and that's true. It's unbelievable about the money that's wasted. 335 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: But they think they're going to lose in two years, 336 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: so they're going to do everything the most extreme they can. 337 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: And that's how they're running Congress as well. I think 338 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: they decided looking at ninety four when we picked up 339 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: fifty four seats and twenty ten when you were the 340 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: recruitment chairman and we picked up sixty three seats. The 341 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: only way I can understand what they're doing is that 342 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: they have literally decided they have two years get it 343 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: all done, so Pelosi is literally spending her marginal members. 344 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: I've never seen anybody as ruthlessly walk the plank with 345 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: members who are going to be killed by their votes. 346 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: And you would think those that were able to survive, 347 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: they would look back at the other fifteen that she 348 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: walked the plank on votes before. She's not even waiting 349 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: two years. The amount of damage that she's doing in 350 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: the first four months is astonishing. I mean, first this 351 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: spending bill, then she comes back trying to nationalize the elections, 352 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: to literally change it to say that you can't show 353 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: id to harvest ballots. I mean, it is true, Macavellian. 354 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: The power has corrupted so greatly that they want to 355 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 1: try to control and guarantee their election despite what the 356 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: public wants. I think that's right. You've been very, very 357 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: articulate about what's wrong with the legislation. I was surprised 358 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: on the very first day that the House rules written 359 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: by the Democrats excluded mother and father in twenty nine 360 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: gender specific words. Now, you're a Californian, so maybe this 361 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: makes a little sense to you, but you know, as 362 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: a Georgian, instruct me as crazy. It's extremely crazy, and 363 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: you've been to my part of California, Bakersville. This is 364 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: much more like Texas. Now, we still believe in a 365 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: mother and a father. And what's so ironic where they 366 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: have gone. I mean in California and state legislature, they 367 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: are now going to outlaw if you go into a 368 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: department store that you could have men or women are 369 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: boys or girls. So where are we going to search 370 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: for clothes? It's all going to bed. You're gonna have 371 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: to figure it out yourself. And I agree with you 372 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: having been in Bakersfield off enough, between Bill Thomas and you, 373 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: it really does not resemble San Francisco at all. The 374 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: biggest political event we've ever had is still you coming 375 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: in after getting electric Speaker. It's a great event, and 376 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: I think you were already working in the house by 377 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 1: that stage, so you've been part of the family for 378 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: a long time. But let me focus on two bills 379 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: in particular that you've been very articulate about. Talk a 380 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: little bit about this whole HR one and the way 381 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: in which the Democrats I think have totally misled people 382 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: about what it's called and what it's trying to accomplish. Yeah, 383 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: let's talk about that first of all. For your listeners, 384 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: you have to understand what HR one means. HR one 385 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: means it's the very first bill of the entire Congress. 386 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: The majority gets to reserve the numbers one through ten. 387 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: So when we were in the majority, we made our 388 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: HR one Tax reform. So we know what's happening in 389 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: America today. We've got unemployment, we've got a demic, we've 390 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: got kids out of school. So would you think you'd 391 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: create something to put people back to work, back to school, 392 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: back to health. No, their most important bill is making 393 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: sure it puts them back to being elected. So HR 394 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: one is all about election reform. But let's look at 395 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: what they mean about election reform. Well, they say you 396 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: cannot have an ID. And remember from our Constitution it's 397 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: the states that have rights. Will they make it a 398 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: national process? Now you cannot show an ID to have 399 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: to vote. So it doesn't matter what the state says. 400 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: It takes the federal Election Commission. It's an equal number 401 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: of Republicans and Democrats who run this that oversee and 402 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: look at the elections, look at well people fund them 403 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: and everything else. No, no, no, no, that should become 404 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: now partisan. It should be waited and there should be 405 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: one more Democrat than there is Republicans. But to run, 406 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: you've got to go out and tell people what you 407 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,239 Speaker 1: believe in, and the people have to support that. So 408 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: they provide you money. Right, it's not taxparamo provide you money. Well, no, 409 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: they change all that. So now the wisdom of what 410 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,479 Speaker 1: we see. If you get some small dollars, say somebody 411 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: provides you two hundred dollars to your campaign, they like 412 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: what you're doing. Someone goes online and they send AOC 413 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: two hundred dollars because she wants to make the country 414 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: more socialist. Well, the moment she gets two hundred dollars, 415 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: there's no longer two hundred dollars. She gets to go 416 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: to the federal government and say, you owe me twelve 417 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: hundred dollars. That's what the bill says. If you could 418 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: get somebody to give you two hundred, the taxpayer now 419 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: has to give you twelve hundred, and you have to 420 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: fund whatever she's saying, even though you don't agree with it. 421 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: They're going to take your tax dollars. It is outrageous. 422 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: And we now see their most important issue as a 423 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: majority party is not the health, not the employment, not 424 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: kids in school. It's whether they get reelected, because they 425 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: know their policies won't win the vote. They know they're 426 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: losing based upon it, and they know if their ideas 427 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: or losers, they're not going to be able to raise 428 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: enough money. So that's Hey, we're going to take it 429 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: from the government. We're going to rig the system where 430 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: only we can win, and we're going to continue to 431 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: stay in power. These are the type of nations around 432 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: the world that do things like this, but we as Americans, 433 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: think is wrong and try to change and topple. Well, 434 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 1: this is the guaranteed reelection for the machine would be 435 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: a more accurate title. Oh yes, And I think it's 436 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: because they're afraid of us. They are they're afraid of 437 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: knowing what's going to happen. They cannot win in a 438 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: fair level playing field, they cannot win on their ideas, 439 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: and they truly believe that they are the smartest people 440 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: and the people out there don't know really what's best 441 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: for them. And I say that because I go to 442 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: my own home state, Governor Gavin Newsom, who shut it down. 443 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: And if you compare California to Florida, it's a great 444 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: contrast in the futures. Right, this is even better if 445 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: you look at the future of the Publican Party, in 446 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: the future of the Democratic Party. If you just went 447 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: back eight months ago, all the Democrats were talking about 448 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsome and Chromo in New York are the future, right, 449 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: even that Chromo maybe should take over for Biden on 450 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: the ticket so that maybe they can win. Well, you've 451 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: got Chromo in New York that's probably going to have 452 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: to resign, and in California he's getting recalled. That's their future. 453 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: Now look at what we have. Decantist down in Florida, 454 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: Tim Scott and Charleston, South Carolina. Are Christy Nome up 455 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: in the Dakotas. I think our future is a little 456 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: brighter because ours is based upon a principle in a 457 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: philosophy about bringing people more freedom. Now, even what Gavin 458 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: Newsom said a number of months ago, why he has 459 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: it all shut down and all the science is now 460 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: pointing to that we should be open. We said, well, 461 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: what is your formula and what is your science of 462 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: why you keep us shut down? He says, I can't 463 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: share it with you because you couldn't understand it. He 464 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: didn't say that to me, he said that to everybody 465 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: in California. They firmly believe it's kind of the injustifies 466 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: the means that they know enough and you're too dumb, 467 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: and that's why they have to take care of you 468 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: and take all your money. You have the same thing 469 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: where they keep assuming we're so stupid that we don't understand. 470 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: If they cut the police, the crime goes up. But 471 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: I know you've commented on what they call the George 472 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: Floyd Justice and Policing Actors. I would call the pro 473 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: criminal anti Compact. But you want to comment us briefly 474 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: what you're seeing around the country in terms of literally 475 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: a direct link between Democrats cutting spending on the police 476 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: forces and crime going up dramatically in some cases dramatically everywhere. 477 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: What you're seeing now not only the fleeing of these 478 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: major cities and why are they crime is one of 479 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: the number one issues. You go to San Francisco, it's 480 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 1: not what it used to be. But let's go to 481 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: where this all started. In Minneapolis. The same city council 482 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: that voted to defund their police now reverse themselves and 483 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: are putting millions of dollars in to try to recruit 484 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: police to come back. We've watched time and again if 485 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: you continue to release prisoners out of prison but they 486 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: haven't served their time. And if you decriminalize everything in California, 487 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: you can steal up to almost a thousand dollars. You 488 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: can go in a store and see somebody just grab 489 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,239 Speaker 1: something and walk out and nothing can happen to him, 490 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: and it happens. It's just like what Biden is doing 491 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: on the border. It is now a border crisis because 492 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: of Biden. When he talks about building back better, I 493 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: hope he goes and builds back better the border because 494 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: he's destroyed it and it's all him to blame. There's 495 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: no other decision making except what he removed. And structure 496 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: dictates behavior. So he took people that were sitting on 497 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: another side in another country waiting for asylum and said, no, 498 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: come into America while you wait and go anywhere. Don't 499 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: test them from COVID. The children are now over in 500 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: the numbers. And he took away what we had within 501 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: there about COVID spacing. So now he's putting close together. 502 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: Don't test them? Can you go in? He won't let 503 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: our kids in school. But that's how he treats the others. 504 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean to me, hypocrisy of what is happening? Can 505 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: you explain, because I'm fascinated by something which I would 506 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: never have thought of when I was in Congress. So 507 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: the Democrats want to tear down the wall between the 508 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: United States and Mexico. Well, they're putting up a razor 509 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: fence around the US Capitol. Now I knew you know 510 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: this because when you were a speaker and you're leader, 511 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: you become a part of the Gang of Eight. I 512 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: can't tell you what I hear within there, only what's 513 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: in public. They try to portray that there's great threat 514 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: to the Capitol. At time, there were some threats, but 515 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: that happens throughout you know, as a member, you get 516 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: it as well. So they believe Nancy Pelosi puts up 517 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: this wall and if literally a fence with bob wire 518 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: and National guards all out there, and people cannot even 519 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: come to the People's House anymore. There is no official 520 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: threat to us. Even last week she said on March fourth, 521 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: there's going to be a big threat. People are going 522 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: to come back. She canceled Congress. Then she goes to 523 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: a press conference and says, oh no, it wasn't about that. 524 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: Republicans were going to do a retreat, and we had 525 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: a retreat on Friday and not on Thursday. It had 526 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it, and she couldn't answer for it. 527 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: This tremendous amount of money is these poor National Guard 528 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: people out. And this is what's even worse. The National 529 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: Guard as they're out along the fencing. If somebody's climbing 530 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: the fence, they can't do anything. They have to call 531 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: the Capitol Police to come over. Why are they there? 532 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: There is no need in the process, but she's trying 533 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: to make it. Then she has put magnetometers for every 534 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: house member to walk through before you go on to 535 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: the floor. Now the fence is up supposedly to protect 536 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: from people outside, but now we're having magnetometers and Capitol 537 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: police officers all around every door. If you walk into 538 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: the chambers through the magnetometers and you walk out the 539 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: back doors to go to the restroom, you've got to 540 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: walk back through another one to get back in. I 541 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: don't quite understand her thought process on this, and is 542 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: that the best and highest use for the police officer. 543 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: It's just crazy. By the way, I just noticed that 544 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: there's an example of your point about shoplifting no longer 545 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: being prosecutable. I think Walmart has just closed ten drug 546 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: stores in San Francisco and said they weren't sustainable. They're not. 547 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: And now you have sorrows. Not just funding the top democrats. 548 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,239 Speaker 1: He's going down to district attorneys. Look what's happening in 549 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. It's not just shoplifting. You're not getting prosecuted 550 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: for You're not getting prosecuted for anything. Homelessness in California 551 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: was the number one issue until COVID hit, and it's 552 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: in every single city. There is only one city that 553 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: is a large city that decreased in homelessness, and that 554 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: was San Diego and that was because of a Republican mayor, 555 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: Kevin Faulkner, that did something different. He didn't let people 556 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: sleep on the streets. He picked them up and he 557 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: took him to housing and he trained him and got 558 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: him into jobs. And the major reasons why for homelessness 559 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: drug use and then the second you have a mental illness. 560 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: But the challenge is these other cities, it just continues 561 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: to grow. If they take over your streets, you've got 562 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: to give him a three day notice before the police 563 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: can come and do anything. That's amazing. I just had 564 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: a person tell me a story. He said, I was 565 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: at this hotel and there was his family from France, 566 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: and this man was very excited at his wife and 567 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: his kids, and you know, he saved up and he 568 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: brought his kids to San Francisco Standard nice hotel and 569 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: he walks outside to go onto a tour and he said, 570 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: if you looked in the father's eyes, he was shocked 571 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: about what he saw. The homelessness, the needle, the fecies 572 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: on the sidewalk. I mean, he was scared to death. 573 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: I was really watching civilizations sort of recede then from 574 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: this model of left wing lawlessness. Donald Trump brought in 575 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: black Gaze, Latinos and others pleaply transformed the conservative movement. 576 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: But his absence has brought about some really nutty divisions 577 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: that are currently rattling the movement. Some black conservatives aren't 578 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: called black enough, and other conservatives think there are just 579 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: too many gays. Well, I've got something to say about 580 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: all of it. Plus, if you thought the Democrats hr 581 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: One for the People Voting Act was a far left 582 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: power grab, wait until you hear about the amendment that 583 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: didn't make it. A listen to Rob Smith is problematic 584 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever 585 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. You've got a huge election coming up. 586 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: I do think you're going to be speaker in twenty 587 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: twenty three. But what can people who really care about 588 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: these issues, what can they do to help make sure 589 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: that we win, that we have control of the househef 590 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: to the election, Well, they need to join with us. Now, 591 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: if it's only a five seat majority in the House, 592 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: why can't we get five Democrats to not vote for 593 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: the socialist agenda. Let's speak up, let's be a part 594 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: of it, and let's join with us. There are better 595 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: ideas of how to move forward. And what I always 596 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: say people, if they go to take the House dot com, 597 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity there to join and be a part 598 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: of something bigger than themselves. You really push that last year, 599 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: and I felt like you would raised a substantial amount 600 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: of money. I think people can go to when red 601 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: dot com. Yeah they can't. That was a successful thing. 602 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: The Democrats had Act Blue and Republicans had no ability 603 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: for something like that. We created when Read in the 604 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: last cycle, and it's made a real difference. They could 605 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: look at any candidate around I remember the number of 606 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: times you would talk about it and it seemed to 607 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: really help. It's help tremendously. At the same time, it 608 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: just strikes me that when you have this kind of 609 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: conservative movement and you have people watching the Democrats be 610 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: so lockstep on behalf of socialism and radicalism, that people 611 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 1: ought to look around for local candidates and see if 612 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: they can't find somebody they like to get involved with. 613 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: That was recruit be a part of something that. Look, 614 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 1: when I started recruiting in twenty ten, I went back 615 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: and I studied nineteen ninety four and two thousand and six. 616 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: Two times it switched. And the one thing I learned 617 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: in the first most important thing is the number of 618 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: candidates that are running. Normally, a minority party would only 619 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: fill three hundred and eighty seats when there's four hundred 620 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: and thirty five because you think other people are not 621 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: able to be challenged. No minority has won a majority 622 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: in modern history without least having four hundred and twenty candidates. Now, 623 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 1: when I recruited in twenty ten, Barney Frank was chairman 624 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: of the influential Financial Services Committee. We had the meltdown. 625 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: He had all all the banks in control and everything else. 626 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: Massachusetts had no Republican representing in Congress. But by the 627 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: time that election came, Barney Frank had to go to 628 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: his own community bank in borrow two hundred and fifty 629 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to save his own seat. We'd be sitting 630 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: committee chairman that year. Obi decided to retire because he 631 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: couldn't win his election. And what happens is and it 632 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 1: wasn't people who've run before. These are people who believe. 633 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. Will Hurd, who was an 634 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: amazing member of Congress, has a district that has the 635 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: largest border in the nation. Right it goes from El 636 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: Paso to San Antonio, predominantly Hispanic district. He would win 637 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: it by very close margins, and people believed when Will 638 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: Hurd retired there was no chance of another Republican to win. 639 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 1: And Democrats said, oh, we've got this race. They actually 640 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: gave the candidate raised her like three million dollars in 641 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: the first month. I didn't believe we should give up 642 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 1: on that race. Go down there, not somebody who ever 643 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: ran before. Tony Gonzalez. Tony Gonzalez grew up in that district. 644 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: He came from a broken home, where he had to 645 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: go and be raised by his grandparents. He joins the 646 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: Navy at seventeen. He serves twenty years in the Navy, 647 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: rising up to the highest you can in the unlisted. 648 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: He says, you know what, I'm frustrated, was going, Oh, 649 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: I'm going to run. He gets into the primary. I 650 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: actually endorsed him. The President came and endorse him. He 651 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: wins the primary by less than twenty votes. He just 652 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: won the general that no one gave him a chance 653 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: by a higher margin than Will Hurd did. That was 654 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: really surprised by that. I thought that was a remarkable racing, 655 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: a great achievement.
