WEBVTT - The Socialist Warning 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.720 Hey, I'm Jason cha Fitz and I am fired up 0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:05.080 filling in for Sean Hannity. He was a little under 0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:07.160 the weather. We'll get him back in the back in 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:09.200 the saddle real soon. But I gotta tell you, I'm 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.600 I'm fired up. I'm excited. There's so much to talk about. 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.800 We got some great guests coming up, Governor Walker, the 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.240 former governor of Wisconsin. And we also have Rob Schneider. 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.200 You know Rob Schneider, you've seen him Saturday Night Live, 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.560 the comedian. He's awesome. We got a lot of things though, 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.560 that are happening every thing, from the Supreme Court talking 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.760 about immigration, talking about guns. We got America two fifty. 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:38.040 We got socialists, crazy socialists doing crazy things all around 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.479 the country and winning some elections in crazy town, New 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.440 York City. We got the zombie filibuster. We got to 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.760 talk about that because Save America acts on the line. 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.920 There oh devastation in Venezuela. This is a horrific story, 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.920 sad story, but one of those stories where you just 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.040 can't turn your head away and just ignore that it 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.160 didn't happen. In a death toll coming out of Venezuela 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:05.639 with the with the earthquake is just it is really 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.479 a sad thing. I'm gonna talk a little bit about drones, 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.920 you know, homeland securities out there saying, hey, this is 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.240 one of the biggest threats. I've been talking about this 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.440 for years. I really do think one of the biggest 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.919 threats to the homeland drones and how do we defend 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.240 against them. So we're gonna talk a little bit about drones, 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.000 and then we're going to talk about people doing stupid stuff, 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.959 because you know what, there's always somebody doing something stupid 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.560 somewhere and there is no doubt that that is happening 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:38.480 across the country. But thank you for joining us, and 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:43.600 again we're gonna get through all of this. A quick 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:48.800 note here about this socialism, these ideas that oh they're 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.440 gonna put roop beer and all the drinking fountains and everything. 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.920 It'll be free. You know, every every time you hear 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.120 the Democrats, we're just one good tax increase away from 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.000 prosperity in their country. That's what they need. We need 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:05.240 to increase taxes because you know, the stats on this 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.840 are absolutely unbelievable. Our federal government will spend roughly twenty 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.160 three percent of our gross domestic product. And then when 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.760 you add in the fifteen percent that state and local 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.720 government has, roughly thirty eight percent or thirty eight cents 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.400 out of every dollar spent in this country is spent 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.680 by government. It is a stunningly high number. And yet 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.160 Democrats will be out there saying, Oh, we need more, 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.440 we got to do more, all of the more. Hey, 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.360 you know what, folks, I want to talk about taxes, 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.400 but I also want to talk about making sure that 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.880 we cut spending because if you don't starve the beast, 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.880 this monster will continue to grow and grow and grow. 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.919 So thank goodness, you know, we got a good president 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.800 who understands this. Donald Trump is out there doing what 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.720 he can. He's going to be making the biggest difference 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:57.600 in our economy, unlike Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Kamala Harris. 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.919 Oh my goodness. Can you imagine if Kamala Harris was 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.040 still or had at chieve is still in office, and 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.640 that she had arisen and become the president of the 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:11.280 United States of America. Oh my goodness. Let's start first 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.080 with America two fifty because you know what, next week 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.280 one of the greatest celebrations. It's something that should last, 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.560 not just a day, not just a weekend. It's something 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.320 that should fill our hearts from coast to coast all 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.639 the time. And I think this country being under the 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.320 attack like it is, particularly from what I believe is 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.960 a socialist thrust that is not just organic here in 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.160 the United States. I think it's being funded and pushed 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:45.360 by others around the globe. But the idea that freedom, prosperity, 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:51.840 self reliance, self governance, that those are offensive to those 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.440 of the socialist like I think we need to teach that, 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.960 we need to talk about that. And part of the 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.280 protests and part of the things we're seeing, yeah, I 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.040 think they're funded. I think it's organized. But I think 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.800 part of the reason we have somebody who's so gullible 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:11.320 to think that socialism will be the answer to all 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.920 of our problems. That's a consequence of an education system. 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:21.640 It's also a consequence of parents and lack of respect 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:26.159 and teaching people the idea of these principles of you know, 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.760 things like self reliance, Those things aren't taught in our schools. 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.240 If you don't stand up every day and pledge allegiance 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.719 to the flag, if you don't understand the history of 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:40.520 our nation and those who have given so much, millions 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.560 upon millions, who have lost their lives defending our country. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.200 Then guess what, folks, You end up with socialists who 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:54.320 are thriving. And now fortunately it's not happening a coast 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.400 to coast. You see the World Cup right now. You 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.680 may not be a soccer fan. I happen to be 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.800 a big soccer fan. I love it. I grew up 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.440 playing it. Love love the sport. I love watching the 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:09.279 English Premier League. But tew to tell you the patriotism 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.640 that you see at those matches, that's pretty good. I 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.360 mean they're singing John Denver take me Home Country Road. 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.760 I mean it's just an amazing site. Red white and blue, 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:26.560 people waving the flag. Love it, love it. But unfortunately 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.560 there are a lot of people that don't love this 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.120 country the way maybe you and I love this country, 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.080 and so this is a problem. Now, there are things 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.600 that we need to do immediately in order to protect 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:44.080 our integrity. And one of those things is, I believe, 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.320 is the effort that we need to put in for 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.560 protecting the integrity of the vote. You know, a lot 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.760 of places, my home state of Utah included. Utah does 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.839 all vote by mail. You could go somewhere if you 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.360 really wanted to in vote in person, but it's it's 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.320 vote by mail. So you know, a ballot goes into 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.360 the mail and then it shows up if you're you know, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.359 next to the Burger coupons or your local furniture store 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:18.040 and you know it's just there, and then you know 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.600 you can get around to putting it in the Maybe 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.800 you put it in the mailbox, maybe you don't. Maybe 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.960 you do it at the drop off at the county 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.000 wherever the county decides to do it. Maybe you don't. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.240 But I've got to tell you, integrity of the vote 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:39.880 far out ways convenience in what we should be doing 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.280 as a nation. You know, we just had a primary day. 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.880 We had one in Utah and we had one in 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.640 other states across the country. Did it feel like it 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.400 was an election day? Because the voter turnout was aesthetic. 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:58.120 It was incredibly low. I remember when I was growing up, 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:02.080 my parents they would take me, especially my mom. I 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.680 remember my mom. We would go and we would stand 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.120 in line because it was time to vote, and our 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.400 friends and neighbors would be there and it was always 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.520 a long line. But you're talking to your friends and neighbors. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.760 These aren't strangers there. You know a lot of people 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.600 I guess I don't know in my neighborhood, but a 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.080 lot of people I do. Oh, Hi Shelley, Hi James, 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.480 you know, whoever it might be. And then we'd finally 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.200 get up there. My mom would show her driver's license, 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.160 and then we'd go into this little booth and you 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.960 had that little metal thing and you could push the 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.440 ballot and close the little curtain and they'd take it. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.800 You know, my mom would let me pop it into 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.120 the box and there were people there monitoring it. That 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.240 was a tradition when we've lost that in this nation. 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.720 So here you have Senator Mike Lee and certainly a 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.280 lot of others who are very supportive of the Save 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:57.720 America Act. How Republicans can't vote for that? And by 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:03.480 the way, I think majority have and will. But I 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.040 know there's a bigger, broader discussion to be had. But 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.640 come on, senators, you gotta stop being so darn lazy, 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.440 as Mike Lee. Senator Mike Lee has pointed out time 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.240 and time and time again or not talking about changing 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:22.239 the Senate rules, But we look at all the days 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.560 they have in recess and the weekends. They should take 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.840 a take a page out of Nancy Pelosi's playbook. Now, 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.640 I just got to serve in Congress for eight plus years. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.600 You know how Nancy Pelosi would deal with this. Nancy 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.120 Pelosi would take I remember, and it's and I'm gonna 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.960 get the number just wrong, but it's something like seven 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.560 hundred and eighty seven billion dollar package. And she waited 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.560 until the very end. It was like and again the date, 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.360 I have to get look at the calendar, but it 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.960 was like December twenty third. It finally came up on 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:53.480 the floor of the House. And you know what, it 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.160 came up on the floor of the House then, because 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:00.960 America was already engaged with Christmas, it was Friday, everybody 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.920 wanted to go home, and suddenly she had the votes 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:08.080 and made it happen. That's what I believe Senator Thune, 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:13.280 the majority leader majority leader, should be doing and saying, sorry, folks, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.360 we're going to stand here and debate this all day, 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.640 every day. This is what we're going to do. If 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.200 it fails, we're going to bring it up again. It 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.800 takes that kind of leadership to say we are going 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.920 to do this until this passes. I am the majority leader. 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.400 I was elected to do this. It is the President's 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.440 number one priority. Our senators are behind it, and it 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.320 will save this nation. Where's that backbone? Why don't they 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.680 stand up and do that? And you know what, just 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.040 because let's pretend it fails on a test vote, bring 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.680 it up again. And I don't care what topic it 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.320 might be. It can be the Save America Act, it 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.600 can be something really important. That's why you're put into 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.000 the majority. That's why Americans donated their money. That's why 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.880 they work to get the majority of Republicans in place. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.880 That's what that has to do. Happen. But instead we're like, no, 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.760 we can go on recess. It was easter. Yeah you 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.680 need two weeks off. Hey we got fourth of July. 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.640 Everybody go home. Make them stand there and do that 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:16.199 all night. Guess what. They're a fairly elderly crowd. Let's 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:21.320 be let's be respectful, but let's also understand they're gonna 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.480 run out of gas. And if the only off ramp 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:29.600 is to vote yes, the Republicans will come around. And 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.280 that is that's what has to happen. No change in 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.840 the rules. Just don't let senators say nah, I'm I 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.080 object and not have to actually take the hard vote 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.959 and let them do that all day every day. I 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:43.839 get a little fired up on this one. I get 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.200 a little passionate about this one. So we got a 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.480 lot to talk about on the show today. We've got, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.400 you know, this zombie filibuster. The voting for the Save America. 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.000 I think that goes hand in glove with America two fifty. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.120 It also goes hand in glove with the way, but 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:05.560 the opposite. The opposition is trying to sell America. You 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.240 don't have to worry about anything. You don't have to 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.920 pay for college. We're going to have a government run store. 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.160 Everything's going to be cheap. We're gonna make your buses free. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.240 Everything is going to be great. Oh, we don't need billionaires. 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:23.040 How dare there be billionaires? Oh and we got to 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.719 get rid of millionaires. Wait, why should everybody that is 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.719 not who America is? That is the opportunity, the equality 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:36.240 for opportunity is what we stand for. It's not the 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:42.079 equity or guaranteeing the inc The result be the same 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:47.040 for everybody that gets rid of the incentive to be 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.120 that hardworking American and do what they need to do 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.960 to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and make the 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.120 country great. It's a work program, and they don't like that. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.400 But those who have actually had success and created great 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:04.400 income and create a great wealth, Yeah, you can't just 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.600 go confiscate that and just decide to hand it out 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.960 to everyone else, because that's ultimately the decision. Right The 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:15.400 decision on taxes is a decision of should I pull 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.640 money from somebody's wallet and give it to somebody else? 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.760 And right now, thirty eight cents out of every dollar, 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.480 as I pointed out a moment ago, thirty eight cents 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.520 out of every dollar in our gross domestic product is 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.880 being spent by government. Who can spend that better? That 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:38.160 money better? We can? You can, I can. I don't 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.280 want to have our government doing that. Now. There's certain 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.600 things we have to do, seeing certain things that we 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:48.439 should be doing. But you know what, as we celebrate 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:54.240 the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our nation, let's 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.920 give some pause in some respect for the inspiration that 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.920 are found fathers had for creating the documents, the separation 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.800 of powers, and creating that opportunity that creates the greatest 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.280 country on the face of the planet. So those are 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.280 some of the thoughts. We got a lot to talk about. 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.520 Like I said, we got some good interviews coming up 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:19.240 with Governor Walker, Rob Schneider, others. Brandon Gill will be here. 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.040 We're going to be chatting with him. He's one of 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:25.360 our favorites out of Texas, rising star in the Republican Party. 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.400 So we got lots to talk about. I'm Jason Chafitz 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.760 filling in for Sean Hannity. Thanks for joining us, Stay 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:33.040 with us. We're going to be right back. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.680 I am stood next to Daddia Lisa and I have 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:47.800 said our next congressman, and I've said these words in 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:56.640 the way that many of us will say in shah lah. 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:54.520 In the beginning. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.640 We hope, but we don't know how close it is. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.280 Closer and closer we get to the day, the more 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:07.120 that we believe. And now that language of hope is 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.559 a language of fact. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.360 Ay yeah, yeah, that's Mayor Mom Donnie celebrating yet another 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:22.240 Democratic socialist winning a seat uh there in New York City. 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.040 And the country better wake up. But the country better 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:30.600 figure out that that there are those who do not 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.920 have the same values or same approach that they've learned 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.560 to put a pretty smile, pretty face on it. But 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.360 it is so fundamentally different than what the United States 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.960 of America I believe, in my personal opinion, truly believes in, 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:52.520 and that the socialists want that equity, They want that 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:58.280 sameness of outcome, and they are willing to take the 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:02.400 means of production, the mean of your success, the means 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:06.600 of people, and be able to use that and give 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:10.280 it to somebody else just because they think that's what 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.840 they want to do. And I think that we have 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.600 got to pay attention as a country and as a 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:21.040 nation because this is some scary stuff, folks. And they 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.920 are winning some elections and yeah, it's it's in some 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.720 of the most liberal places on our on our on 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:32.560 our planet. But wake up, America. We're turning two hundred 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.360 and fifty for a reason. Let's make sure that we 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.440 do the right thing, because it is the greatest country 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.480 on the face of the planet. Stay with us, We'll 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:41.040 be right back. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.680 You can't always get what you want, but you can 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:20.520 get Sean Hannity online at Hannity dot com. 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.920 Hey, I'm Jason chaff it's filling in for Sean Hanny. 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.240 He's it's just a little bit under the weather. So 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.360 I'm really thrilled, honored. Did I get to fill in 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.720 for him? And we got a couple guests. You got 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.360 to hear this story. It really is amazing, and so 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.560 we're happy and thrilled to be joined by the former 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.800 governor Scott Walker. He's now actually the president of the 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:50.120 Young Americas Foundation, often called Yeah or YAF, but Governor 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:54.160 Walker's here along with Jackson Barrick. Nobody's ever heard of 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.480 Jackson Barrick, but you have. Now we're going to hear 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:01.320 his story. Governor Walker, jack thank you so much for 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:02.400 joining us on Hannity. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.160 Hey, Jason, thanks for having us on. Appreciate it. 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.440 Thank you too, Jackson. You ever done national radio before? 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.760 No, but I got to admit my handshaking a little bit. 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.439 I'm pretty nervous being on this right now. Behave We're 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:16.159 going to power through it. 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.720 Hey, the three of us were just going to have 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.399 a conversation. Deep breaths, You'll be good. You got a 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:22.280 story to tell. 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:22.959 Uh. 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.359 But Governor, let's let's start with You're you're involved and 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:31.280 engaged in helping Jackson here. Why what's going on? Tell 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:32.000 us the story? 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:35.200 Yeah? Well, and Jackson's going to be great because he's 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.520 going to tell what unfortunately is happening not only at 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.240 the University of Minnesota, but far too many campuses across 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.560 the country. As you and I both know from our 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.320 time in office, you know, the Constitution itself guarantees free 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.840 speech spelled out very clearly now as much as it's 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.200 ever been. But on college campus it should be more 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.960 than respected, it should be revered. And yet only tragically 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.400 these days where it's often is where it's most at risk, 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:05.240 and so Young America's Foundation partners in this case with 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.399 the Southeastern Legal Foundation to push back when colleges and 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:14.160 universities administrators and student government leaders push policies that really 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.639 put students at risk. As we like to say, if 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.119 you're under attack, yeah's got you back, And in this case, 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:23.159 it's policies that they have that not just for conservative 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.240 but I just think everyday students who think, hey, I 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.480 don't have to abide by this pronoun policy. I don't 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:33.239 have to try to have people tell me that if 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:37.639 I think it's crazy that someone who was born in 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:41.040 Man can't be pregnant, or that men shouldn't compete in 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:45.080 women in sports, those shouldn't be violations of the policy 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.600 at any university, let alone the University of Minnesota. And 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.520 that's why we're trying to help students like Jackson and 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:51.320 others deal with this. 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.760 All right, So Jackson, you're a student at the University 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.720 of Minnesota. What are you studying? 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:00.879 Yeah, so I study public health through the school publut 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.680 Health there. So yeah, big into healthcare. 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.520 Oh big, good for you, Good for you. Yeah, you'll 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.320 be gainfully employed for a long time. That's it's healthcare 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.679 is a big part of our future. But tell us 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:17.760 what happened? What was the expectation and but then what happened? 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.440 Yeah, I suppose the best way of kind of explaining 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.240 is is kind of the expectation that the university sets, 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:31.480 and the university essentially sets the standard that whatever they 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.160 constitute is, you know, speech that they don't like or 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:38.160 wherever they consider harassment. It's pretty much up to their 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.800 determination and whoever's reading it. So I, for example, if 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.280 I go into a classroom and I kind of look 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.560 right at look left, being like, hey, am I able 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.520 to say that a man's not a woman? I mean, 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.080 if I say that, I can face expulsion under the policy. 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.560 I mean, in the past couple of years alone, over 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:58.520 twenty students have violated this policy and result in academic 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.800 probation or suspensions. So, I mean, this is a pretty 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:06.400 serious issue. Misaffects what seventy thousand students across five different campuses, 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.480 So this is a huge issue. And as Governor Walker said, 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.000 this is not just a U of M isolate a incident. 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.879 Their policies like this all over the country. And it's 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.520 frankly ridiculous in my mind that these insane policies are 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.360 able to stay as they are without people finding them. 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.200 So I'm very grateful to YAFF and also to the 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.919 Southeastern Legal Foundation for helping us make sure that this 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.760 policy is corrected and to make sure that other students 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.560 don't feel pressured or silenced based on the university policy. 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:37.400 So my understanding, Governor is that the University of Minnesota 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:41.639 has a pronoun policy, and it requires all members of 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:46.320 the university to use quote the names, gender identities, and 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:52.440 pronouns specified to them by other university members, except as 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:59.600 legally required end quote. I mean, how, I mean, what's 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:00.679 the right the answer to this? 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.760 Well, again, this is ridiculous. Combine it with their sexual 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:08.639 harassment policy, and by the way, we believe obviously legitimate 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.760 sexual harassment is wrong, but they extend the boundaries here 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:15.560 to just any sort of discussion, any sort of public 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.480 comments on this, and particularly you got someone like Jackson, 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:22.119 who's studying public health won the idea that just a 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.960 few years ago, all of three of us on the 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:26.919 line right now and most of the people listening, not 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.760 everyone listening, but public health meant that you were either 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:31.800 born a man or you're born a woman. That there 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:36.199 weren't things and they weren't distinguishable as being distinguishingly different. 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:40.080 And yet on college and universities like the University of Minnesota, 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:42.200 they're trying the last few years trying to not only 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.120 argue that that is different, but that anyone who even 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:49.520 raises the issue now is suddenly in violation these policies. 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:52.520 Or as you mentioned with the pronoun policy, if someone 0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.000 who a day ago showed up in your class as 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:58.440 a man now suddenly decides he's a woman and you 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:01.399 say he's she, or not knowing exactly what's going on, 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.800 you could be in violation of this policy. It's absolutely 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:07.600 ridiculous and unenforceable under the constitution. 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.480 So Jackson. Where did you grow up? Did you grow 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:12.320 up in Minnesota? 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.920 Yeah, I live right now. When I grew up about 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:19.000 thirty minutes south of the Twin Cities, so Minneapolis is 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:20.639 kind of my second home away from home. 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:25.360 So I mean, tell me about your college experience as 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.640 opposed to you know, growing up in you know, your neighborhoods, 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:32.760 your parents and family and friends or whatever. What is this? 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.119 What are you learning from this? What is this teaching you? 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:36.040 What is this showing you? 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.760 I think the biggest message and it's and it's quite simple, 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:45.040 but I think it's the truest that defines the urban 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.639 centers versus the suburbs which I grew up in. I 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.760 think is that you really can't help people until they 0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:54.399 help themselves. It's that like you have to want to 0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:57.199 understand what other people believe before you can give that 0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:59.359 to them. Like again, like I don't want people to 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:01.639 feel full first to believe what I believe. 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:02.199 I'm not. 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:04.919 I don't want people to believe that or to believe 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:07.119 that they are forced to believe what I believe. I 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:10.280 just want people to have access to different ideas and 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:12.879 to understand why people think differently. Just like tens of 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.240 millions of other Americans do, so I think that's the 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:19.520 biggest difference between or growing uprided in the urban centers. 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:23.000 Yeah no, well said Jackson. Let me ask you one 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:28.600 more thing here. You I mean, you say that so eloquently. 0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:33.240 I'm I'm impressed with your kind of mature approach to this, 0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:37.320 But there are others that don't believe that. You know, 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:39.560
