1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: On this episode of Newtsworld, I'm joined by members of

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: my Inner Circle Club for a fascinating conversation about a

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: wide range of issues and topics on their minds. We

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: hold these regular video conference calls so that we can

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: have an honest discussion about what is happening in America today.

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: I find it extraordinarily helpful to me personally and helping

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: think through the issues that are facing us. So I

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: hope you'll find this episode of Newts World informative, and

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: if you'd like to become a member of my Inner

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Circle Club, please go to newts Inner Circle dot com

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: and sign up for a one or two year membership. Today,

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: I want to start with what I think is the

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: funniest single moment of the week, which is President Biden

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: on the White House lawn during the Easter event talking

15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: to a reporter who ask a question about Afghanistan, and

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: as Biden starts to babble, a large easter bunny comes

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: up and literally, if you can see this on YouTube,

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: you can pull it up, literally stands between the President

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: Nined States and the reporter and then sort of gently

20
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: turns Biden and walks him off, And it's weird. It's

21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: like a scene from a really bad movie. Apparently, the

22
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: story is that the Press Office realized that the president

23
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: was unescorted, and so they wanted to make it inconspicuous,

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: so they borrowed the bunny costume from one of the

25
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: performers and sent out a member of the Press Office

26
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: in a six ft tall bunny to get President Biden

27
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: away before he could hurt himself. I mean, if you

28
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,279
Speaker 1: think about it, you could imagine a series of movies

29
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: in which that would have been an appropriate, weird scene,

30
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: and it sort of tells you about this whole administration,

31
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: remembering that behind him is Kamala Harris. Nancy Pelosi has

32
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: been up to her usual insanity, and I have a

33
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: sense that for the very first time, over this issue

34
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: of waiving the public health title and allowing immigrants to

35
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: come in without any kind of a check, that for

36
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: the very first time, there's a big and growing split

37
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party. You're now seeing more and more

38
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: senators say this is wrong. I think they're probably close

39
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: to a veto proof majority in the Senate. The pressure

40
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: will build in the House, and the policy that's estimated

41
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: would lead to nineteen thousand people a day coming into

42
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: the United States, which would add up to the city

43
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: of Atlanta every month, So you're talking about literally adding

44
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: twelve Atlantis. In illegal immigration report is that they come

45
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: from one hundred and fifty different countries. And because the

46
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: border patrol is so totally immersed just in handling all

47
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: the illegals, the effort to stop the flow of drugs,

48
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: which fentanyl is far and away the most dangerous, is

49
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: not being very successful, and the drug cartels love it.

50
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: They basically now dominate the border. So the scale to

51
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: which the Biden administration is presiding over a series of collapses,

52
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: from inflation to rising crime, to a collapsing southern border,

53
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: to challenges in terms of energy policy, to applying new

54
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: rules to infrastructure to make it harder and more difficult

55
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: and more bureaucratic to build the infrastructure that they promised.

56
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: All of these things are just compounding and as a result,

57
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: you just had Larry Sabato's operation with the University of Virginia.

58
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: This is an organization which measures election results. They announced

59
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: this morning that there were eleven House seats they were

60
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: moving every single one of them. They moved away from

61
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: the Democrats towards the Republicans. When you start getting eleven

62
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: to zero and these kind of movements, you know something

63
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: is happening out there, and I think it's going to continue.

64
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: I just did a zoom call raising money for Zach

65
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: Nun who's running in Iowa, and Zach I think is

66
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: probably going to win, which will give us every single

67
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: seat in Iowa, plus the course Senator of Grassia will

68
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: get reelected. And so you just see this momentum continuing

69
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: to build everywhere in the country. At the same time,

70
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: you're I think, entering a new crisis phase in Russia.

71
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: We just did a podcast about Zalinski and about Ukraine.

72
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: I think that the Russians have regrouped. They put sixty

73
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: to seventy battalions units of about six hundred in the

74
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: American military in the east and southern part of Ukraine

75
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: away from Kiev, towards the Russian border, and I think

76
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: there's now going to be a very big fight. And

77
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: apparently during the breathing space that we've had for the

78
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, the Allies have been shipping a

79
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: lot of material, including long range artillery, smart light armored vehicles,

80
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: not tanks, but light armored vehicles, and a variety of

81
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: other weapons systems, so the Ukrainians may well totally disrupt

82
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: the Russian offensive. There's a report from British intelligence that

83
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: in the first two days the Russians have gained no

84
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: ground at all and in fact are being badly shoot

85
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: up by the Ukrainians. So we'll have to wait and see.

86
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: This could be drifting towards a real crisis. Putin just

87
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: had a missile launch of a huge ICBM and used

88
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: it as an occasion to remind the West that Russia

89
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: is a nuclear power and that if we push them

90
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: too far, things could become really dangerous. So I think

91
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see. There's no sign that

92
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: the Western countries are backing off, and in fact, the

93
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: European allies in Eastern Europe, who had all been equipped

94
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: as part of the Soviet Bloc during the Cold War,

95
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: are shipping their Russian equipment to Ukraine in return for

96
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: promises from the US to replace them with American equipment,

97
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: which is better, newer, more effective, and so it's a

98
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: pretty good deal. We get a stronger NATO and the

99
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: Ukrainians get a lot of weapons authority trained on how

100
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: to use. Finally, Jijianping and the Chinese Communists have adopted

101
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: a draconian policy in Shanghai. Shanghai is a huge city,

102
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: very modern city, the wealthiest city in China. They have

103
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: locked it down so tightly that people have claimed that

104
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: they are starving to death. People have been screaming from

105
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: their windows, people have been demonstrating. It's probably the biggest

106
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: disruption we've seen inside communist China since the Cultural Revolution

107
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: of Malzi Dung, and in this case is not being

108
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: led by the leader of the country. In this case,

109
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: it's being led by people rebelling against the leader of

110
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: the country. And I don't quite understand why Jesian Pain

111
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: has followed this triconian policy, but it's clearly not working,

112
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: and I think it is weakening the entire grip of

113
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: the Chinese communist dictatorship. So we'll have to see how

114
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: that plays out. Those are some very sweeping overviews, and

115
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: we'll go ahead and see if there's some questions and

116
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: comments for people. Yes, glad to be with you today.

117
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: It looks very much like the Republicans are going to

118
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: take both thousands of Congress with some majority at any

119
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: rate in seven months. But my question is what on

120
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: Earth are they going to do with that? What can

121
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: they do with that fossil city in the White House

122
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: being run by who? Is there any possible progress to

123
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: be made over the following two years. Well, I would

124
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: say that they have a real opportunity to bring up

125
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: issues that are very positive. As all of you know,

126
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: I do three newsletters a week and three podcasts a week.

127
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: All of them are free and people can sign up

128
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: for them at Gingridge three sixty dot com. And I'm

129
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: doing a series of newsletters right now for a total

130
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: on the concept of an American majority, though we don't

131
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: just want a Republican majority, we want an American majority.

132
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: First newsletter outlines the concept of an American majority rather

133
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: than a Republican majority. The second one is on what

134
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: Reagan did and how he did it and the size

135
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: of majority he created and how he got things through

136
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: the Congress. The third will be on the Contract with

137
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: the America, which remember was not a contract with Republicans.

138
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: It really stood on reagan shoulders and was also designed

139
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: to create a vast majority, which we did. And then

140
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: the fourth one is about this coming year, in the

141
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: election this year, and it includes something which all of

142
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: you can see if you go to American Majority Project

143
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: dot com. Let me repeat that, American Majority Project dot com,

144
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: you'll be able to pull up the polling data that

145
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: we've been gathering for the last several years. Now it's

146
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: all available. It's available to Democrats, Republicans, independents, and I

147
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: think you'll find it very useful. What I've done is

148
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: taken the best of that and put it into this

149
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: newsletter that'll come out early next week. The reason I

150
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: mentioned that background is what we did in nineteen ninety five.

151
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: We would take an issue like welfare reform, where people

152
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: really deeply believe in the work ethic, and people really

153
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: believe even today by very big margin, that you're better

154
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: off to have a job than to be on a

155
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: government welfare And when we got done arguing about it

156
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: and people had thought it through, there was an overwhelming

157
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: majority of the American people in favor of some kind

158
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: of significant work related welfare reform. So Bill Clinton was

159
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: faced with a simple choice. He could sign welfare reform

160
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: or he could be defeated for reelection. So I think

161
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: the Republicans in the House and Senate, and certainly Leader

162
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: McCarthy in the House, clearly understands this and is developing

163
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 1: an entire commitment to America of the kind of positive

164
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: ideas and positive approaches. And I think the goal will

165
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: be to lay out a series of big changes that

166
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: people want. For example, something like eighty four percent of

167
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: the country believes that parents ought to have the right

168
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: to know what their children are being taught, and includes

169
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: any movies that are being shown, any textbooks, you name it.

170
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: So I think the Republicans next year, if they get

171
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: a majority in the House and Senate, and I think

172
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: they will, I think what they should do is focus

173
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: on very big solutions that have huge majorities of Americans,

174
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: which will then split the Democrats in the House and

175
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Senate because the ones who are worried about reelection will

176
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: decide to side with the Republicans, and the hard left

177
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: will never side with the Republicans. That will force Biden

178
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: to choose either to veto everything, in which case he

179
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: will be even more alienated from the country, or to

180
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: accept things that the Republicans are able to build large

181
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: majorities for. But it is possible. We proved in the

182
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: time that I was Speaker, we got four consecutive balanced

183
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: budgets for the only time in your lifetime, in part

184
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: by creating an environment where President Clinton thought he had

185
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: to work with us in order to survive. Your answer

186
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: to the previous question really touched upon this quite a bit,

187
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: but I'll reiterate it just to see if I understand

188
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: you correctly. Do you believe in fact that we will

189
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: see coming from the Republican Party the equivalent to your

190
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: contract with America laying out five to six seventy eight

191
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: easy to understand, doesn't required felt board conversations or trained

192
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: economics that will essentially unite people mainly the center and

193
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: right votes because the Republican Party does not still seem

194
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: to stand for a single thing that seems divided among itself.

195
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: There just doesn't seem to be as central spokesman as

196
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: there was when you were the Speaker. Can we look

197
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: forward to that by party that stands for something not

198
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: just against Biden, that as a program, a platform that

199
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: they've come together on and that the American Republic can

200
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: really get behind, so that we create the kind of

201
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: momentum that's going to last more than just four years. Well,

202
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: let me say, first of all, I think it's easier

203
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: to get people to agree to big things than too

204
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: small things, So we tried to find really big issues

205
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: that we first of all knew the American people were for.

206
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: Our ground rule was to try to get seventy percent

207
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: or more support for any issue before it was considered

208
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: for the contract. If you do that, then you can

209
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: unify the party. And I'll give you an obvious example

210
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: that everyone who's in the inner circle will understand immediately

211
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: a position to finish the wall, regain control of the border,

212
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: and reestablish common sense practical steps to make sure that

213
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: in fact we are controlling the flow of drugs and

214
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: we're controlling the flow of people. I think you'll get

215
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: overwhelming Republican support, and that would be a good example.

216
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: I think a commitment to energy independence, to lower the

217
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: cost of gasoline, to lower the cost of heating oil,

218
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: to lower the cost of natural gas by having American

219
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: jobs using American energy. You know, we're the leading source

220
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: of natural in the world. I mean, it takes a

221
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: really dumb administration to create a problem with energy because

222
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: we are so enormously abundant, particularly with the invention of fracking,

223
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: we have huge quantities of oil and gas available. So

224
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: I think you probably could get urtually undred percent Republican

225
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: support in favor of that. I think welfare reform would

226
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: be another one. The American people still believe in the

227
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: work ethic. The American people still believe that we are

228
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: better off to have a work requirement, and that I

229
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: think you would find very strong support for them. I'm

230
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: very worried about this new ran nuclear agreementth that Biden

231
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: then his crews negotiating via the Russians. What are the

232
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: Republicans doing or should they do to block this before

233
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: the ink is dried on it? Well, I'd think that

234
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: they should look for the first opportunity to pass a

235
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: or to put as an amendment on the spending bill

236
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: that nothing can be done in an Iran agreement that

237
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: would reduce sanctions on Russia. The Russians have been the

238
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: primary negotiator. I mean, it tells you how sick the

239
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: system is. The Iranians refused to meet with the Americans.

240
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: All of this is being done through the Russians because

241
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: the Iranian dictatorship literally will not sit down with the Americans.

242
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: Just as when John Kerry decided to send them over

243
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: a billion dollars in cash, they would not accept American dollars.

244
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: They had to be Euros and Swiss Franks. Now why

245
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: you would deal with somebody who's deliberately insulting you is

246
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: beyond me. But this administration, like the Obama administration, has

247
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: a passionate interest in bringing Iran into play in the

248
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: Middle East. I think it's an indirect way of weakening

249
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: Israel and certainly threatening Saudi Arabia, and we've seen the result.

250
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: The Saudis won't take Biden's phone call, neither will the UAE,

251
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: for good reason. They think they're being sold out to

252
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: their mortal enemy, the Iranians. At the same time, the

253
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: Israelis feel that they have to be preparing a much

254
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: more aggressive military posture because they think the Iranians are

255
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: going to become extraordinarily dangerous. So I think that there

256
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: are steps that can be taken. The easiest is cutting

257
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: off all funds for implementing the agreement, and I think

258
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: that probably would become a very tough vote for Democrats

259
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: to vote against as we learn more about it, particularly

260
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: if the cutoff was tied to the Russians. The Russians

261
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: have been demanding that they have construction companies that would

262
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: get billions of dollars in payments under the agreement, and

263
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: I think, given how angry Americans are about the atrocities

264
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: and the inhuman policies of the Russians under putin now,

265
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: that you'd have a pretty good chance of passing a

266
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: very strong legislation, even over Biden's veto. Well, you already

267
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: answered the first question. Thank you so much, number one.

268
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: I just love having this time. My second question, though,

269
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: is really pressing. How will the nation deal with the

270
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: thousands of illegal aliens who are now being recruited by

271
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: MTIFA like gangs or the cartels are extending into the

272
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: United States. We are being invaded new I see it

273
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: in my own suburban neighborhood that has wonderful police presence,

274
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: and we have individual young men wandering midday with backpacks

275
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: and scoping out the housing. I believe we should one

276
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: control the border. I believe too, that we should deport

277
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: most of the people who have come in illegally. I

278
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: think the burden should be in them for why they

279
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: should be allowed to stay. I don't think you can

280
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: accept five, ten, fifteen million, twenty million people who basically

281
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: do form a human invasion. This administration's policy is just

282
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: literally crazy. It dissolves the very nature of being American.

283
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: And let me say I am very strongly in favor

284
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: of legal immigration. Ironically, about seventy three percent of the

285
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: country is deeply opposed to illegal immigration, and seventy three

286
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: percent the countries deeply in favor of legal immigration. And

287
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: I think it's important for us to keep making that distinction.

288
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: We should become the party of legal immigrants, and we

289
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: should be very clear that no money can be spent

290
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: on food stamps or medicaid or anything else for people

291
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: who are here illegally, and we should find ways to

292
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: gradually get them back home. Thank you, Speaker Fier. In California,

293
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: and even though the Republican Party has conceded the governor's race,

294
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: we here not only me, but a bunch of guys

295
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: believed that Newsom is very weak and shaky, and believed

296
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: that there's a white criticism and that the anger is

297
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: not only on the Republican side but now has blurred

298
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: party lines. Would you give us some advice on how

299
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: to try with another local donors to try to defeat him.

300
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: And can you imagine the national impact of Newsom losing well?

301
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: I think if we could beat Newsome will be enormously helpful.

302
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: I do think you're going to have somebody on the

303
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: ballot this fall that will give people a chance to

304
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: vote against Newsom. And I think it's useful to remember

305
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: that in New Jersey, ed Door Junior was an independent

306
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: truck driver who wanted to get a concealed carry permit,

307
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: and he met all the criteria, had no blemish on

308
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: his record, no reason not to give it to him,

309
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: but the bureaucracy and New Jersey would not give it

310
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: to him, and the result was that he decided to

311
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: run for the state Senate. Now he was running against

312
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: the president of the state Senate, who had four years

313
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: earlier won a seventeen million dollar race, the most expensive

314
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: state legislative race in the country. Because the Teacher's Union

315
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: took him on, nobody thought that Eddor Junior could win.

316
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: He raised twenty three hundred dollars total, spent it at

317
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Duncan Donuts, and most mostly buying coffee and donuts for

318
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: his volunteers, and they passed out a little very inexpensively

319
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: made paper brochures and Door beating him by a pretty

320
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: good margin. Now, the truth was, people did not walk

321
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: in to vote for Eddor Junior. People have walked in

322
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: and decided they were against the state Senate president. I

323
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: could imagine a circumstance this fall where people walk in

324
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: and decide to vote against Newsom, and almost anybody could win,

325
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: and in fact, it would be to the advantage not

326
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: to have it be a clearly visible right wing Republican.

327
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: And I think part of what happened in the recall,

328
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: the choice went from pro or anti Newsom to pro

329
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: or anti the Republican that Knewsom's chance to win got

330
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: bigger every week. So I think it's very important to

331
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: be somebody who is a citizen running as a citizen

332
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: basically focusing on a very simple notion that Newsom will

333
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: destroy the state with his various policies. I mean, when

334
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: you offer free healthcare to illegal immigrants, you're sending a

335
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: signal to the whole planet that if you have a

336
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: health problem, you ought to get to California because Governor

337
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: Newsom is going to take care of you. And I

338
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: think that people get that. I see more energy in

339
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: California today than I've seen in many years towards really

340
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: replacing the machine in Sacramento. How do we expect to

341
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: identify the millions of the illegals in the US so

342
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: as to deport them. Assuming the Republicans win the House

343
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: and Senate in November. One think a large part of

344
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: that's relatively easy. The people who don't have identity cards.

345
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of the reasons I favor requiring

346
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: a photo ID in order to vote. I don't want

347
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: people who are not legally American citizens voting on our elections.

348
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: And I think that when you look at everything from

349
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: getting a driver's license to having a Social Security number, etc.

350
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: You're not going to get one hundred percent. You would

351
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: be able to find a very high percentage of the

352
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: people who are here illegally. And I think that, frankly,

353
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: we are going to have to do something like that

354
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: because I don't see how we absorb the fifteen or

355
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: twenty or twenty five million people who come here illegally,

356
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: and that the rate that the Biden administration is encouraging it,

357
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: you're going to have literally millions of people, probably the

358
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: equivalent of two or three New York cities by the

359
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: time the Biden people are done. And it looks like

360
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: there will be some pretty frightening food shortages around the

361
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: world later this year and next They have already been

362
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: food riots in several countries like Kreu and three Lifelin reets.

363
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: Likely that will put a lot of people on the road,

364
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: further road disascerbating American immigration problems. Grain prices are up,

365
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: so that will encourage American farmers to grow more. Are

366
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: there any government policies you would recommend that would encourage

367
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: US farmers to grow as much as they can for

368
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: the next two years. I think there are steps that

369
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: can be taken, But frankly, one of the big impacts

370
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: of American farmers is the rise in the cost of oil.

371
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: Oil goes, for example, into diesel fuel, So if you're

372
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: driving a tractor, or if you have a large truck

373
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: that comes by that either brings you seed corn or

374
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: that picks up your crops, all of those things increase cost.

375
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: Oil goes into fertilizer, so if you're want to buy fertilizer,

376
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: the price is going up very dramatically. A good friend

377
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: of mine, who was the American Ambassador to the Food

378
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: and Agricultural Organization, runs a large family farm in Indiana,

379
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: and he sent me a note the other week saying

380
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: that their operating costs were up eighty four percent. If

381
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: you want to dramatically improve agriculture in America overnight, then

382
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: you start producing oil and gas to bring the price

383
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: down as rapidly as possible. That's the number one thing

384
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: you have to do. But you're larger points right. There

385
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: was a brilliant series of charts produced by Peter Zihan

386
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: about the implications of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and

387
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: the degree to which between the two of them they

388
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: are forty percent of the world's wheat exports. Russia is

389
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: the largest producer of fertilizer in the world. So the

390
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: crisis in India, in the Middle East, in Brazil, in

391
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: Western Australia, all those areas that have to have fertilizer,

392
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: and you're gonna see very profound problems around the world.

393
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: And Governor Beasley, who's the head of the Food and

394
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: Agricultural Organization, has said publicly that he expects four or

395
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: five times as many people to be on the edge

396
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 1: of starvation next year as there was last year, and

397
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: he thinks it's a very serious crisis. I really like

398
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: having this kind of opportunity. I find the Inner Circles

399
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: a very useful program. I hope that if you find

400
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: it useful, you'll tell your friends about it and encourage

401
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: them to join. And I look forward very much to

402
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: doing more of this, and we are going to continue
