1 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: On this episode of news World. I just spent a 2 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: few days in Florida at the National Republican Senatorial Committee 3 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: annual gathering. I listened to a lot of people, and 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: I also gave a few talks, and I began to 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: realize that what's going on is so different than anything 6 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: we've ever seen that it really does require, I think, 7 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: some profound thinking and maybe some totally new language. I 8 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: started working on this in writing Beyond Biden, which is 9 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: my new book, which is going to come out of 10 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: November second, because I realized that Biden is a weird 11 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: transitional figure elected from a basement who frankly, would probably 12 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: have been better off staying in the basement rather than 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: messing up virtually everything he's touched. Let me start with 14 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: the National Republican Senatorial Committee, where Senator Rick Scott is 15 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: doing an amazing job. He has a remarkable team. They're 16 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: very likely to pick up a majority in the Senate. 17 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: They indicated states they're really looking at seriously to pick 18 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: up New Hampshire's one, Arizona's another. Nevada is a third. 19 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: They're two kind of long shots in Washington State and 20 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: in Colorado, both of which I think are doable. And 21 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: then of course there's Georgia where Senator Warnock, the Democrat, 22 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: who is a radical, has raised an amazing amount of 23 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: money out of left wingers across the country, but he 24 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: may end up facing herschel Walker, who is in some 25 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: ways the most famous Georgian of our lifetime and who 26 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: has a very wide base of support far beyond the 27 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: Republican Party. So they're pretty optimistic that we have a 28 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: good shot at putting all this together. There are a 29 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: couple of states we've got to defend Pennsylvania where Senator 30 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: to Me retired, for example, and Pennsylvania will be tough, 31 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: but the Democrats are probably going to nominate a really 32 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: radical candidate, and they across the country. When you see 33 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: a Democratic open seat, what you're seeing is the radicals 34 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: are engaged now in running and they're going to have 35 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: very tough primaries in North Carolina, for example, which is 36 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: an open seat that we have a very good chance 37 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: of holding. The Democrats who are running are all so 38 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: far to the left, and I'm not even sure the 39 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: left is the right term here. They're more than just 40 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: big government socialists. There are also people who believe in 41 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: redefining America. In ways that most Americans don't believe in. 42 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: So let me back up for a second and just 43 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: tell you that a lot of what I'm thinking is 44 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: shaped by the American Majority Project, which is an effort 45 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: to learn what Reagan did in nineteen eighty which I 46 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: was part of, and then what happened with the Contract 47 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: of America in nineteen ninety four, which I clearly was 48 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: part of, to try to figure out, can we create 49 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: a majority that is so large that we basically isolate 50 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: the big government socialist and moved them out of power. 51 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: This is something which Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher did between 52 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five when she became the opposition leader, and 53 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: she then went on to continue pounding away at socialism 54 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: until about nineteen eighty five, by which point she had 55 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: so broken the moral authority of socialism, which in Britain 56 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: had been a very long held positive idea, an entire 57 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: labor party had been built around it, and after she 58 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: was done, it was so isolated and so unacceptable that 59 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: no left wing Labor party leader has won the prime 60 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: ministership in the last forty years. Well, the combination Biden 61 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: and Harris, Schumer and Pelosi may Well create a similar 62 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: opportunity for us here, both in the positive sense that 63 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: we need a new contract with America next year and 64 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: in the negative sense that they are going to define 65 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: themselves out of contention because much of what they're doing 66 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: is either radical or just plain incompetent. And I know 67 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: what this recent Kamala Harris television spot where apparently the 68 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: NASA bureaucracy hired child actors. I want you to think 69 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: about this. There are millions of young people in America 70 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: who could be excited about space, but they don't just 71 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: go out and randomly find everyday normal Americans. They hire 72 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: child actors and actresses in order to have Kamala Harris 73 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: pretend to be getting them all excited about space, knowing, 74 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: of course, that the whole thing is a sham, that 75 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: it's a lie, and that she is in fact going 76 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: through a script for a bunch of people who have 77 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: been paid to sit there and be professional actors and actresses. 78 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: You know, you can't get that kind of incompetence easily, 79 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: And I think it's actually more incompetent than Jimmy Carter. 80 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: And I'm beginning to think that it's really a slur 81 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: on Carter. To suggest that Biden maybe, as Ted Cruz said, 82 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: as radical as McGovern and as incompetent as Carter. He's 83 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: more radical than mcgovernor, and he's more incompetent than Carter, 84 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: which is a really dangerous combination. But we don't really 85 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: have language to explain what we're up against. And let 86 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: me explain where I'm coming from. Reagan used to say 87 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: he wasn't afraid of what liberals didn't know, he was 88 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: worried by what they knew that wasn't true. Well, I'm 89 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: adding to that because watching now for most of this year, 90 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: what has struck me is it's not just that they 91 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: believe things that aren't true, but that no matter how 92 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: bad reality gets, they can't come to grip so that 93 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: that their ideology is virtually like a religions. It's like 94 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: dealing with people who are on some kind of religious crusade, 95 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: and as a result, what you have is behaviors that 96 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: are just bizarre. For example, Biden is on a absolute 97 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: crazed crusade to force every single American of every background 98 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: to get vaccinated or to be driven out of American society. 99 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: Well you can stop and say, okay, I got it, 100 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: that he really believes it, he really wants to do it. However, 101 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: he doesn't apply that to any of the people who 102 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: are here illegally. So if you cross the border from 103 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 1: Haiti or Ghana or Guatemala or whatever, you not only 104 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: get to come across without being vaccinated or tested, you 105 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: get to come across without bringing your public health records. 106 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: You get to come across without bringing your criminal justice records. 107 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: And we not only accept you, but the taxpayers now 108 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: pay for you to fly or ride a train or 109 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: a bus to go somewhere in America. And to the 110 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: best of my knowledge, no one has tracked how much 111 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: are we spending. I saw a number that suggested eighty 112 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: billion dollars. But the truth as no one is really 113 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: tracking what had to take a specific single person or 114 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: a specific single group, and what are we doing with them, 115 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: how are we paying for it? The whole thing's weird, 116 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: And yet one they don't seem to get in the 117 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: White House that having up to four hundred thousand people 118 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: a month come across the border is totally unsustainable and 119 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: sending a signal to the planet, so that now you 120 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: have people getting on a plane and port of Prince 121 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: landing in Ecuador, which accepts people without a visa as 122 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: long as they have a passport. Coming up through Columbia, 123 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: crossing the Darien Gap, one of the most difficult jungles 124 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: in the world, coming through Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico. 125 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: And now you have thousands. There's one report which I 126 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: can't verify, that there maybe as many as sixty thousand 127 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: Haitians moving north. And of course every week the airplanes 128 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: arrived from Porto Prince with more people. At the same time, 129 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: Africans apparently come in through Brazil. And today, despite the 130 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: fact that Kamala Harris said she was going to focus 131 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: on the problem by talking with Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, 132 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: something like sixty one percent of the people who are 133 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: coming across the border don't come from Central America. They 134 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: come from all over the world, including Syria, including Afghanistan, 135 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: including China, and they're just pouring into the United States, 136 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: and nobody in the White House seems to have noticed it. 137 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: Gallup has estimated with their World Pole that they're about 138 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty eight million people who would like 139 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: to come to the United States. That's about fifty percent 140 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: of our current population, Noman. Does any reasonable person believe 141 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: that's sustainable that we could absorb that many people, teach 142 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: them how to live in a free society, get them 143 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: engaged in economically productive activity. And yet the Biden people 144 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: don't seem to have figured out that when you send 145 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: the word that the borders open, there are a lot 146 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: of people willing to come and play with you. So 147 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: that's one example. The second example, Bernie Sanders Big Government 148 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: Socialism Bill has in a section that Sanders had rolled 149 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: the Protecting the Right to Organize Act into that bill. 150 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: Now Protecting the Right to Organized Act repeals for all 151 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: practical purposes, the right to work laws that twenty seven 152 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: different states have enacted that stop unions from requiring employees 153 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: to pay dues or fees. Now, right to work has 154 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: been a very deep issue in American politics. Those twenty 155 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: seven states, my guess is twenty three or twenty four 156 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: of them have huge majorities. There's so much bad stuff 157 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: in that bill that spends somewhere between three and a 158 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: half troyon five and a half joy. I mean, the 159 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: truth is, nobody really knows, but it's huge. Bernie Sanders 160 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: himself has said, this is a bill that will arrival 161 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. It'll be bigger than Lyndon Johnson's 162 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: Great Society. It fits Joe Biden's desire to be the 163 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: most radical president in history, which I would never have guessed. 164 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: I've known Joe Biden for a very long time, and 165 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: I thought he was sort of a moderate liberal from Delaware. 166 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: But it turns out the deep down he's always wanted 167 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: to be a historic figure who radically changed America, and 168 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: this is his moment to be historic. So this bill, 169 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: which has just tons of bad stuff in it, also 170 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: means that they're going to ask Democratic senators from states 171 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: that have right to work laws to vote for a 172 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: bill one feature of which only one feature. Member. There 173 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: are many features in this bill, one feature of which 174 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: is repealing the right to work laws, and that will 175 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: be an enormous change. Biden himself has said, quote, we 176 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: should change the federal laws so there is no right 177 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: to work allowed anywhere in the country for real, not 178 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: a joke. Close quote Kamala Harris said, quote it has 179 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: to be about, for example, banning right to work laws. 180 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: That needs to happen. Close quote. Now that whole issue 181 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: is just now beginning to bubble up. And the danger 182 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: for the left is the longer they keep these things 183 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: out there, the worst it's going to get. But let 184 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: me go back to this problem of language. What are 185 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: the words to explain a president and an administration which 186 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: rejects all of the military advice for Afghanistan, gives up 187 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: our major airfield which is an hour away from China, 188 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: and then tries to evacuate when we no longer have 189 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: air power, and then has a total disaster, and then 190 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: claims everything went terrifically. They seem to have learned nothing. 191 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: And yet all three of the top military people dealing 192 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: with this, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the 193 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs, and the commander of the Central Command, all 194 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: three have said that they told the president that this 195 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: was going to be a big, big, big problem. The 196 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: President claims he never heard it, which either is a 197 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: sign a he's lying or b that he just forgotten, 198 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: which would frankly be a little more frightening than if 199 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: he remembered but was lying. I mean, the idea of 200 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: having a commander in chief who forgets advice from his 201 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: top three military advisors is not very encouraging. I have 202 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: talked with former secretarist State Pompeo. We did a podcast 203 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: with General Kellogg, who had been on the National Security 204 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: team for the entire Trump presidency. I talked with Robert O'Brien, 205 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: who had been the National Security Advisor, talked with Vice 206 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: President Pence, and I talked to President Trump. Every single 207 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: one of them says that we had an agreement that 208 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: would have worked, that we were going to keep Bogram Airfield, 209 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: not so much for Afghanistan, but because it is extraordinarily 210 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: close to the Chinese nuclear testing facilities and is a 211 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: very important asset in the long term contest with China. 212 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: And that not a single American had been killed in 213 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: the period that the President had been talking with the Taliban, 214 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: which is about a year and a half. So President 215 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: Trump had a track record of not getting anyone killed. Biden, 216 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: through total incompetence, gets thirteen Americans killed who are in uniform. 217 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: Other Americans are badly wounded, and there's no sign that 218 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: they learned anything. So you keep going down this road 219 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: of what's going on. A similar example is what's now 220 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: happening with supplies. There are at least sixty ships sitting 221 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: off of Long Beach Harbor, and the problem with the 222 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: ships is not how to get them onloaded. The problem 223 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: is that the port's totally jammed up because there are 224 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: no truck drivers. So exactly what people warned about. You 225 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: give people enough money, they quit going to work. And 226 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: if your choice is to be on the road as 227 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: a truck driver or to just take another federal check, surprisingly, 228 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: maybe not surprisingly large number of people they're not going 229 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: to go to work. And the result is that you 230 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: have a supply chain which people now believe may stay 231 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: screwed up until next summer because it is such a 232 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: total mess. Well, that has other secondary effects. It means 233 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: that if you're trying to build a house, or if 234 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: you're trying to remodel a house, if you're trying to 235 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: buy a car, if you want to get Christmas gifts 236 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: over and over again, this is a huge problem. Now. 237 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: It explains why Kamala Harris when she was in Vietnam, 238 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: had this strange moment when she was being interviewed and 239 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: she said, this was in September. People had better buy 240 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: Christmas gifts now because if they wait, they're not going 241 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: to be able to get them. And people thought that 242 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: was a weird thing to say, but apparently she had 243 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: been briefed in Vietnam on how bad the logistics supply 244 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: chain was screwed up and sort of burbled it out 245 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: without any kind of thinking or planning. Now they are 246 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: telling us, and typical Biden white House and dishonesty, that 247 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: they in fact have been working on this problem since January. Well, 248 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: if they have, that would be an even worse warning, 249 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: because it's gotten worse since January, not better, if this 250 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: is what they think of as working. But we have 251 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: a really deep problem here. And of course Biden this 252 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: trap because he has to basically pay close attention to 253 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: the Longshoreman's Union and the teamsters. The Longshoreman's union dominates 254 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: getting freight off of ships and onto trucks and trains, 255 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: and the teamsters dominate unionized trucking, so he can't be 256 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: for a maximum use of entrepreneurship and innovation and new 257 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: truckers who don't belong to the union, etc. So you're 258 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: seeing the whole system slow down, and that of course 259 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: leads both to fewer things happening that are positive, but 260 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: it also means you're moving towards more inflation because the 261 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve keeps pouring money into the system. And here's 262 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: what the problem turns out to be. If you put 263 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: enough money in without goods and services, the price of 264 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: each good or service goes up, and so you begin 265 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: to find yourself in a situation where prices begin to 266 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: rise because there aren't enough things to buy and you 267 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: have too much money flooding into the system. Well, virtually 268 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: every central bank in the world is now part of 269 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: this kind of a game, and the result has been 270 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: that we're seeing the beginning of I think significant inflation. 271 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: And if you think of it as the Biden inflation tax, 272 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: it helps you understand how they tend to pay off 273 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: a lot of the debt there is going to lower 274 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: the value of the dollar, and so while you may 275 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: owe a lot more money, the value of the money 276 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: is going to go down in some specific areas. The 277 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 1: Wall Share General reported, for example, that beef prices are 278 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: up seventeen percent over the last twelve months, fresh fish 279 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: and seafood are up ten percent, energies up twenty four percent, 280 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: almost twenty five percent over the last few months. At 281 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: the government has now come out and the official United 282 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: States Energy Administration, which monitors Energy has warned that you 283 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: may pay up to fifty four percent more to heat 284 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: your house this winter then you paid last year. Now, 285 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: if you're a poor person, if you live in New Hampshire, 286 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: which is one of the places we'll be having a 287 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: center race next year, and you're suddenly told that heating 288 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: oil is going to be let's say, forty five or 289 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: fifty percent more expensive, and that this is part of 290 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: the Biden administration failure. I think one, it means that 291 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: Senator Hassan is going to get defeated because she's already 292 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: very weak and people are going to blame her for 293 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: the prices. But two, it's going to be a sign 294 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: that this is an administration that simply can't get things done. 295 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: And what I've been trying to do. I mean, I 296 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: understand the idea that they're radicals. I understand the idea 297 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: that they really want to change America, and I understand 298 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: the notion that they're for big government socialism. What I 299 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: don't understand, and what I don't have language for, is 300 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: how can you see all of these things going on 301 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: and not rethink your programs. I mean, if you care 302 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: about the poor, then this kind of inflation just kills them. 303 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: If you care about the long term economy so that 304 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: there are jobs for people who have limited income, these 305 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: kind of a programs just kill them because the jobs 306 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: don't exist. And so what you have is a system 307 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: where their approach is not working in Afghanistan, their approach 308 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: is not working on the border, their approach is not 309 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: working with the economy. You look at education, the entire 310 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: Democratic Party is owned by the teachers Union. You basically 311 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: have two groups. You have schools that literally don't function, 312 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: such as the Baltimore City Schools where there are five 313 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: school buildings in which no one has passed a state exam. 314 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: Not a single student has passed a state exam, leading 315 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: you to wonder why we call them schools. And those 316 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: are the sort of incompetent schools. And then you have 317 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: schools that sort of work, although the American test scores 318 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: have dropped pretty dramatically in the last few years. And 319 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: in the schools that sort of work, you're ending up 320 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: in a situation where they're into brainwashing. That's a major 321 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: part of what's going on that you have to recognize 322 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: that we're dealing with, I think a system in which 323 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: it turns out, for example in education that in the 324 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: nationwide math score by thirteen year olds, they've actually dropped 325 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: by about five points, which is the first time in 326 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: history that these scores dropped. So after all the money 327 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: we put in, after all the teacher pay raises, after 328 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 1: all the talk about trying to get to excellence, in 329 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: the fifty year history of the test, we've never before 330 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: seen a drop in proficiency in math, And of course, 331 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: as you know, it's also had a drop in reading. 332 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: In places like Oregon, they're now passing laws that say 333 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: we're not going to test anybody. So their answer to 334 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: the fact that poor children are more likely to do 335 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: badly is to have everybody do equally no matter what 336 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: they do, which of course means nobody will learn anything 337 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: about achievement. They won't learn anything about doing homework, they 338 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: won't learn anything about being able to do math or 339 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: being able to read. And then they'll go out into 340 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: the job market and they'll show up and they won't 341 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: be able to do anything. And then the left will wonder, well, gee, 342 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: why is this capitalist system not taking care of all 343 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: these people who we have failed totally into schools, And 344 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: that will then lead to even more welfare, even higher taxes, 345 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: which gets you back to where we are today. What's 346 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: fascinating about all this in terms of what happens the 347 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: next few years is we saw with Reagan and again 348 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: with Trump that if you cut taxes dramatically and if 349 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: you cut regulation and modernize regulation, you in fact create 350 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: a very pro jobs, very pro economic growth, and very 351 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: pro income growth environment, so that by February of twenty twenty, 352 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: we had the lowest Black unemployment in history. We had 353 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: the lowest Hispanic unemployment in fifty years. People were getting 354 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: jobs and they're getting paid more because of the rate 355 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: of economic growth. People at the bottom actually we're getting 356 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: bigger pay raises than people at the top, and their 357 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: incomes were starting to go up. All of that has 358 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: now been changed as the Biden, Harris Schumer Pelosi team 359 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: tried desperately to raise taxes to increase regulations, and they 360 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: seem surprised that that then kills jobs, and you have 361 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: to start of ask, you know, what did they think 362 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: would happen? So they show weakness in foreign policy, and 363 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: that's going to lead presently to predatory countries seeking to 364 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: take advantage of us, particularly starting with the survival of Taiwan, 365 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: where the Chinese dictatorship has to believe that these people. 366 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: The Biden team is not capable of keeping its word 367 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: in defending Taiwan given what they did in Afghanistan. It 368 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: includes Russia, which is being very aggressive in European Whatever 369 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: energy price increases, we're going to see the Europeans are 370 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: going to see dramatic higher energy price increases. So, whether 371 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: you're at home or abroad, whether you're failing to defend 372 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: the border, failing to educate children, failing to create jobs, 373 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: failing to unload ships, every time you turn around, the 374 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: Biden administration is increasingly an administration of failure, and its 375 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 1: reaction to that is to double down. So watching big 376 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: government fail, the Bernie Sanders big government socialist answer is 377 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: if only we had twice as much government. And this 378 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: is particularly ironic because the fact is that Gallup has 379 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: discovered once again that Americans prefer smaller government. This is, 380 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: by the way, not new. Gallup has been asking this 381 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: question for many years. Fifty two percent of the country 382 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: says government is doing too many things that should be 383 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: left to individuals in business. Forty three percent one government 384 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: to do more to solve than countries problems. Last year 385 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: was only the second time in the history of taking 386 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: this questions, which they've been taking since nineteen two, the 387 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: people want a bigger government. Shortly after nine to eleven 388 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: they want a bigger government for about a year, and 389 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: then shortly after the COVID epidemic they want a bigger 390 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 1: government for about a year. But even after nine to eleven, 391 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: with only a fifty percent for bigger government, and last 392 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: year was fifty four percent. All the rest of the 393 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: time since nineteen ninety two, consistently something between sixty one 394 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 1: percent and fifty five percent of said they want smaller government. 395 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: And it's in that setting that you have Pelosi and 396 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: Schumer trying to ram through a bill to massively increase 397 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: the government, which Bernie Sanders goes around and publicly talks 398 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: about as this is going to be a great approach. 399 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: Democrats tend to be more in favor of big government, 400 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: but even among Democrats, there is a substantial group who 401 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: just think this is way too big. A quarter of 402 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: all Democrats believe that government's doing way too much. Fifty 403 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: seven percent of independence think government's doing way too much, 404 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: an eighty percent of Republicans think government's doing way too much. 405 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: The country actually prefers lower taxes and less government. And 406 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: of course you have a three trillion dollar tax increase 407 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: attached to the three and a half to five and 408 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: a half trillion dollars spending increase in the big government 409 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: socialist bill. So you really have, I think, a remarkable 410 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: moment here where the country is in one direction and 411 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: the radical elites here in another direction. And of course, 412 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: with things like the Attorney General saying he's going to 413 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: use the FBI to investigate parents who are inappropriately aggressive, 414 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: meaning they exercise their free speech rights under the First Amendment, 415 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: Domestic terrorism by parents at school board meetings is now 416 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: a major FBI concern. You could be concerned about real terrorists. 417 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: You could be concerned about Chinese agents. I mean, there 418 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: are lots that you can be concerned about. The murder 419 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: rate which is skyrocketing, is up thirty percent in the 420 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: country in one year. There's a lot of good things 421 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: actually be concerned about. But parents who are angry because 422 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: the school boards are mismanaging the school systems strikes me 423 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: as something that's part of absolutely our right to petition government, 424 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: our right of free speech, and I think that it's 425 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: because of that, as people watch it, that you now 426 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: have something like fifty eight percent of the country is 427 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: genuinely afraid of the federal government and says the federal 428 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: government is a real threat to their liberty. My point 429 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: in taking you through all this is, in all honesty, 430 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: I don't have language to explain a group who reject 431 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: reality on this scale. I mean, I don't know if 432 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 1: they're so deeply immersed in a secular religion, which is 433 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: something that Theodore White, in the Making of the President 434 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: of nineteen seventy two, said that the great problem that 435 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: McGovern faced was that the liberal ideology had become a 436 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: liberal theology, and as a theology it could not be questioned. 437 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: He may have been very prescient. We may be dealing 438 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: with not a political problem, but theological problem. I recently 439 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: spend some time on Netflix watching fascinating series on the 440 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: Medici in Florence, and the Medici period of dominated Florence 441 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: is interrupted for about a decade a little more than 442 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: a decade by a populist orator priest named Savonarola, and 443 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: he whips up the city, creates a basically dictatorship, burns 444 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: books that he decides are inappropriate basically is a revolutionary. 445 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: As I watched Savonarola, I couldn't help but think of 446 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: AOC in the squad and the whole attitude of the 447 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: left that they are going to impose on us, whether 448 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: we like it or not. And I just talked to 449 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: a good friend who herself, as a friend, is having 450 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: to go through a malist type public self denunciation because 451 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: he said the wrong things and if he didn't publicly 452 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: apologize for having had the wrong thoughts, he'd be fired. 453 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: Now that's a kind of group think that we are 454 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: sate with Stalin's Russia, with Mao's China, but we sure 455 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: don't associated with the United States. And so I wanted 456 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: to walk you through all this because I think that 457 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: if one if we can get everybody to understand these 458 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: really are big government socialists, that's about sixteen percent of 459 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: the countries, one out of every six Americans, they will 460 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: suffer the kind of defeat that labor suffered in Great 461 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: Britain under Thatcher and the socialism has suffered now for 462 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: over forty years. On the other hand, I also think 463 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: that when you're dealing with this kind of a problem 464 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: and you've got these kind of challenges. There's something much 465 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: more fundamental going on that we don't understand and that 466 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: we don't have words for. And so I'm really interested 467 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: for any of you who want to let us know 468 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: at English Street sixty year thoughts on this. I'd love 469 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: to hear from you and have you right in tell 470 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: us if you've some language you think might work. I 471 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: am really eager to hear from you, because I will 472 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: tell you, I think this is one of the greatest 473 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: periods of change in American history. I think that the 474 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: tensions that are building are enormous. I think that the 475 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: danger of the left trying to come in and literally 476 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: use the power of the government. Look what they're doing 477 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: on this whole mandate issue. And it's one thing to 478 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: say you ought to get vaccinated, both clists and I've 479 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: been vaccinated twice. It's another thing to say, if you 480 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: don't get vaccinated, we're going to hound you out of society. 481 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: We're going to kick you out of the Navy and 482 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: take away your benefits, including your veterans benefits. We're going 483 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: to get you fired, and you won't be eligible for unemployment. 484 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: This is such a coercive use of government power that 485 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: it flies against everything in the American system. I looked back, 486 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: and frankly, the closest I could find outside of wartime 487 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: was John adams effort with the in a Sedition Act 488 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: at the very beginning of the Republic, when he tried 489 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: to make speaking against the government illegal and a criminal offense, 490 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: and it was thrown out and as one of the 491 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: reasons that the Federalists disappeared as a political party. Well, 492 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: I think you're seeing the same thing. I think what 493 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: Biden is doing and I said this one Laura Ingram recently. 494 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: What Biden is doing by imposing a mandate on the 495 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: American people for vaccinations while doing nothing about illegals who 496 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: come in the country without vaccination, is he an effect 497 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: is favoring illegal immigration while punishing the American people. Now, 498 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: the idea you'd have a president who would favor illegal 499 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: immigrants while punishing Americans. We just don't have any language 500 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: that explains this kind of behavior. And that's why I 501 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: wanted to spend some time today. I'm confident we're going 502 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: to win next year. I think the Senatorial Committee and 503 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: the Congressional Committee, and the Republican governors are all to 504 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: do very well next year. But I think for us 505 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: as a country, we need a deeper conversation than just 506 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: partisan politics as usual, and we need to try to 507 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: understand what's going on and why it's going on, and 508 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: how you could have an administration this much against the 509 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: American people and this much unwilling to learn from its 510 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: own mistakes, so it continues to go down the road 511 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: of being more and more and more dangerous. It's truly, 512 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: I think, one of the most dangerous periods in American history, 513 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: and I have no idea how it's going to end up, 514 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: because I have no idea what extremes the Biden, Harris 515 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: Schumer Pelosi team are willing to go to to drive 516 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: home their basically theological position of imposing big government, socialism 517 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: and imposing a radical rewrite of America. So I hope 518 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: you found this interesting. I tried to be really honest 519 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: and sharing my own confusion. I'm going to continue to 520 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: work on it, and I'd love to hear from you 521 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: at gingrich three six dot com, slash ask newt thank 522 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: you for listening.
