Controversial, quite charismatic, and someone I'm enjoyed developing 12 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: a reallyationship with Representative Walter Hudson. Welcome back there. Happy 13 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: to be here for the third time in the studio. 14 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: Am I setting a record or no? But we we'd 15 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: like to get you to be a regular. We're working 16 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: on it step by step, you know. And I want 17 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: to say before we start, you know, just because we 18 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: haven't spoken for a while. You know, in politics, everybody 19 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: has a position and I'm a neo fight you. When 20 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: you were on last time, you told me you were 21 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: involved with Dan Schultz back in twenty eleven, the Tea 22 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: Party time. Yeah, And up at twenty eleven, I was 23 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: doing my international thing, and I skewed local politics like 24 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: it was beneath me, which is arrogant and wrong. In 25 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the thing happened with Trump, and I said, wow, 26 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: I'm really misaligned here. I got to get involved in 27 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: local politics. So I'm really still a neo fight And 28 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: I say frequently in meetings, if I was to join 29 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: the repetok And Party of to day and nobody would 30 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: even know my politics, I just show up and vote 31 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: and keep my mouth shut, because when they're taking votes 32 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: in big rooms, it's hard to figure out who's who right, 33 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: and there's no So I went out and I, you know, 34 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: I staked out a very nationalist perspective, and I was, 35 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: you know, I ruffled a lot of ridges, which you know, 36 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: I know when you come on that's something for me 37 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: that you thank you. But I'm I'm starting to think 38 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: a lot about unity. Also. We talked about unity on 39 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: your last visit here, and you laid out a case 40 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: for unity and you said that without power, it's all meaningless. 41 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: And I thought, you know, I've been thinking a lot 42 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: about that comment. So I'm changing, and uh, it's not 43 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: that I'm giving up what I believe. I'm starting to 44 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: look at this politically because the facts on the ground 45 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: are changing and we just had this awful assassination, and 46 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: I'm changing my perspective. I want to become a more 47 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: unifying figure. I have a growing platform, and I take 48 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: that with a great deal of responsibility. I want people 49 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: to be well. Wellness is degraded by conflict. Being conflict 50 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: orientated is not good for our well being. But from 51 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: time to time, all the time, we get into positions 52 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: where we have to be in a self defense mode, 53 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: and that's where we are today. So I noted because 54 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: I follow you on social we follow each other respectfully. 55 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: You know, you made some statements after the awful martyrdom 56 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk that it created change in you, and 57 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to start the podcast and let me just 58 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: say one more thing and thank you for waiting. You know, 59 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: I got a lot of people that follow me that 60 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: are followers, listeners, viewers that communicate they don't like you, 61 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: and you know that's just part of the game. So 62 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: I wanted you to tell everybody this change that you felt, 63 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: because I've never had that kind of reaction to you. 64 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: I mean, politics is a dirty business and it requires 65 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: a lot of thought. I'm changing. You talked about a change. 66 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: So rather than me make up a story in my head, 67 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: could you tell? Can you share what was the psychological 68 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 1: or the emotional process that had you post up? Certain 69 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not going to read the post, but 70 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. So Flora's all yours. 71 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: Sir, Yeah, I mean so it was a two stage process, right, 72 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: So in the immediate reaction to the assassination is visceral, 73 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: it's horrifying, its shocking. I guess three stages. Second stage 74 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: is reacting to the reaction. Right, So we see these 75 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: abhorrent comments that came out, And it wasn't just the 76 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 2: number of them or the nature of the comments that 77 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: people were making dancing in the grave before Erica Kirk 78 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: had the opportunity to put her husband in it. It 79 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: was who was saying it was, where it was coming from. 80 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: It's coming from you know, political figures. It's coming from 81 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 2: congress people, our own elon Omar, It's coming from about 82 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: a dozen or so of my own state legislative colleagues. 83 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: It's coming from nurses, doctors, lawyers, you know, people in 84 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: positions of stature. 85 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: Right. 86 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 2: It's not like yahoos who are just sitting on the 87 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: computer with nothing to do and nobody's It's coming from 88 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: people who educate our kids, who perform medical procedures on us, 89 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 2: who write our laws. And what that revealed to me 90 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: is that unbeknownst to us. You know, there's this analogy 91 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: that we've heard a million times about the frog and 92 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: the boiling pot of water, and that seems really apropos 93 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 2: to the current moment, because there's a certain point where 94 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: if you're that frog and you're in that water and 95 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: it's warming up up, you may not realize what's going 96 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 2: on until those bubbles start to form, right Like, as 97 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: soon as the bubbles start to form, you're like, oh. 98 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: Well, what is this? What's going on? Look at that one, look. 99 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 2: At that one, look at all these and then you 100 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: realize I might be in trouble here. And it feels 101 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 2: to me like that's the moment that we're facing right now. 102 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: And specifically, what we're noting is that, unbeknownst to us, 103 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 2: the social contract was amended without our knowledge, and when. 104 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: We're possibly abrogated. Yeahs purely abrogated, sure, possibly. 105 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: And what I mean by the social contract is it's 106 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: not written down somewhere. It's not a document that you 107 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 2: can look up. But it's the things in our head, 108 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: it's the things in our heart that we take for 109 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: granted as part of our culture, as part of our civilization, 110 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: the unspoken agreements that we have amongst ourselves in terms 111 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: of how we're going to treat each other and how 112 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: we're going to interact as human beings. And one of 113 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: the clauses in that social contract, historically in the United 114 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 2: States of America, has been I don't want to see 115 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: you dead, right, like if somebody And we had recent 116 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: experience with this back in June with Melissa Hortman, the 117 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: Speaker of Marata, who's a Democrat who I disagreed with 118 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 2: on virtually everything politically, and whose positions quite frankly I 119 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: feel comfortable saying now were quite abhorrent. I mean, she 120 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: championed the worst, the most life rejecting abortion policy in 121 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: the world, puts US on par with North Korea, China. 122 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: She championed all sorts of destructive policies, but she didn't 123 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: see me on x or in front of a camera 124 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: the day or the week or the month, even after 125 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: she was assassinated, talking about how I disagreed with all 126 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: of her policy positions and how abhorrent I found them, 127 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: And the reason why you didn't see me doing that 128 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: is because I subscribe to this social contract which says 129 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 2: that a person's life takes premissy right, and there's a 130 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: certain degree of respect and honor that we all are 131 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: due just by virtue of the fact that we're fellow 132 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: human beings. And to see the number and the type 133 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: of folks who came out in the immediate aftermath of 134 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk being assassinated, saying the most abhorrent possible things, 135 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: doubling down on the Nazi rhetoric, doubling down on the 136 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: fascist rhetoric, talking about what a terrible person he is, 137 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: in some cases either inferring and in other cases outright 138 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 2: saying that he deserved it, that he got what was 139 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: coming to him, that he created the scenario in which 140 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: this happened to him, that it's his fault somehow. Blaming 141 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: the victim was just incredibly abhorrent, And as a elected 142 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 2: legislator who has to work alongside a lot of these 143 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: people who are saying these things. That's quite a paradigm 144 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: shift of I don't know how you because in June, 145 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 2: after the Hortman situation, we had this prolonged conversation. I 146 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: myself went on a number of legacy media mainstream media programs, 147 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: had interviews on the radio and television talking to people about, 148 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 2: you know, how we're going to tone down the rhetoric, 149 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: how we're going to turn down the temperature. Where do 150 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: we go from here, or how do we all come 151 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: together and make something positive out of this. None those 152 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: conversations are happening today. Nobody's even interested in having them. 153 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 2: And there's two reasons for that. One is because the 154 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: left was never sincerely interested in having that conversation. They 155 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: were just interested in leveraging the moment in order to 156 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 2: put us into a defensive position as Republicans and conservatives 157 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 2: and normies. And the second reason is, at least speaking 158 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: for myself, I have no interest in setting across the 159 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: table from somebody who I now know would celebrate my 160 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: death if it happened today, they would celebrate it tomorrow. 161 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 2: If it happens today, they would mock my wife, They 162 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 2: would wish he allong my kids. They would call my 163 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: mother all sorts of names because all of these things 164 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: happened to Charlie Kirk. And Charlie Kirk believes more or 165 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: less ninety percent of the same stuff that I believe. 166 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 2: And so if you're telling me that him believing what 167 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: he believed and saying it out loud and having a 168 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: conversation in public merited him getting shot in the throat 169 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: and bleeding out in front of the entire world. If 170 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: you're saying that about him, you mean it about me, 171 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 2: and you mean it about every American who believes the. 172 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: Same things that he believes. 173 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: And so past that point, this conversation about turning down 174 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: the temperature and bringing down the rhetoric and kumbai ya 175 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 2: and how do we come together and how we have 176 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: unity is the wrong conversation because there's a prerequisite to that. 177 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 2: There's an order of operation in order for civilization to 178 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: take place. 179 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: Fundamentals have to be respected. 180 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 2: Fundamentals have to be respected, and we call that fundamental order. Right, 181 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: you're in a courtroom and somebody starts making a ruckus, 182 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: the judge is going to bang that gavel and say 183 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: order in the court. Right, you go to a city 184 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 2: council meeting and you speak out of turn and you 185 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: disrupt the order of business, the mayor is going to 186 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: bang that gavel and say we need to have order 187 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 2: in these chambers. And that is not some arbitrary, tyrannical expression. 188 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: That brings everybody back to an agreed upon set of rules. Yes, 189 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: and if I can just bookmark where you're at, I 190 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: want to just share it all the viewers and listeners 191 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: can go right to YouTube and put in the search 192 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: Congress moment of silence Kirk. Yes, and you'll see what 193 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: happened that, even in the halls of our federal government 194 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: in the US Congress, a sixty second moment of silence 195 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: for this man's life, the honoring of his life. The 196 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: Congress couldn't keep it together, and Mike Johnson was banging 197 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: that gavel and calling the room back to order, and 198 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: he couldn't get the job done. And so it's not 199 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 1: just right here in your hall of governance. It's it's 200 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: a national issue, yes, and it's a cultural issue. Right. 201 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: We've had people who've lost their Lots of people have 202 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: lost their jobs in the last couple of weeks. I 203 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: think Justifiabland rightfully for the important things that they've said 204 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 2: online and the reason why that's appropriate, and we can 205 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: get we can get into, if you want to, this 206 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: whole conversation about cancel culture and what that means, and 207 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: the differences between how how these things have manifested in 208 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 2: the past when it was the left doing and versus 209 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 2: what's happening right now. But the bottom line is is 210 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: that you cannot have as part of your community, as 211 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: part of your institutions, people who have a disordered thought process. 212 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: And clearly, if you're sitting there dancing in an unoccupied 213 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: grave because the wife hasn't had the opportunity to actually 214 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 2: put her husband in it yet, that is a disordered 215 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: way of thinking that communicates to the rest of us 216 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: that you're not participating in our society. You're not You're 217 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 2: in it, but you're not participating. 218 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: Can I can I comment back on this? And it 219 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: is a I mean, I want, I want to let 220 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: you have the floors as much as possible, but I 221 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: do want to say to communicate with you because I 222 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: know some of your fellow Republican Party elected officials and 223 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: party members are going to watch this and a lot 224 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: of them don't have great feelings about me because I've 225 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: been very strident. And why I've I've been strident. I 226 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: grew up in the university system. I've watched this since 227 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: the sixties. I was in the middle of it mine 228 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: for large portion periods of my life. I know who 229 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: these people are. I'm a student of history. I could 230 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: say I dabble as a historian, but I mean, I 231 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: really spend a lot of time and I know what 232 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: happens historically, and I do view history as a good 233 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: predictor of future events. And I've been so I've been 234 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: so critical of the people that would collaborate with folks 235 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: that I knew where they were heading. And so here's 236 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: the action that I've had. I mean, I want to 237 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: say to all the people that are watching, you know, 238 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: I was just out on the front edge saying these 239 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: people are dangerous, we can't deal with them. And if 240 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: you deal with them and you lie about it, because 241 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: a lot of times the dealing with them gets hidden 242 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: because of course, nobody wants to really get made as 243 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: being a you know, in concert with these folks, because 244 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: there's so many folks like me that say, hey, you 245 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: can't do that. So I was, you know, I got 246 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: this platform, and you know I've been very vocal and 247 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: it's been very widely distributed and people don't like it. Well, 248 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: now look at this now, Really all that happened was 249 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: I was just sounding the alarm since the moment, and 250 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: I took the mic and calling out, you know, we 251 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: can't this. We got to think this thing through. This 252 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: isn't working. But the impetus in me or what's come 253 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: to me is, man, we got to unify in the 254 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: Republican side to beat these people. I mean, you know, 255 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: it's like we're not going to be able to unify 256 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: with communists. They are interested in power. They have a 257 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: secular humanism, which is a religion that drives them forward. 258 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: And that's why I broke into your monologue. It's not 259 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: that they're thinking is disordered. In my opinion, it's ordered differently. 260 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: They have a different order. We have a set of 261 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: agreed upon cultural fundamentals that really if we break them 262 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: back and break them down. They have a fifty seven 263 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: hundred year tradition they just pop up in seventeen seventy 264 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: six that was built on a tradition, and they are 265 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: rejecting that tradition, and so you're making the comments about 266 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: Representative Hortman, who you gave respect to her life, you 267 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: were deeply opposed to her ideas and her legislative initiatives. Uh, 268 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: she you know, I would say her thinking. I mean, 269 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: I could say her thinking was very disordered from my perspective, 270 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: but from her perspective, we're disordered. That's the that's the 271 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: fundamental problem. They see my thinking because I have faith 272 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: in God, for example, I have a traditional belief system. 273 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: They think I am absolutely and we see it all 274 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: the way into I was reading the Star Tributement in 275 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: the morning and they had a long article about how 276 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: our you know, let's depend on our It might have 277 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: been an opinion piece. I didn't focus on it, but 278 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: there was a long piece in there about let's depend 279 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: on our local vaccine experts. Let's not listen to you know, 280 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: Trump and Kennedy on vaccines. So I mean, it's it's this, 281 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: this this split, this separation between faith and science, which 282 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: really don't have to be opposed. They've just ended up opposed. 283 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: It's they're very ordered in their thinking. And that's why 284 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: I've been so vocal calling out, you know, cooperation with 285 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: what I would consider a worldview that completely is intent 286 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: on exterminating me. And now you see it, and now 287 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: everybody sees it, because this is what always happens when 288 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: communists get close to power, they just start killing their opponents. 289 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: If you go back historically and look at what happened 290 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: in China, what happened in Russia, what happened in Cambodia, 291 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: for example, those are three, you know, outstanding examples, but 292 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: you could look at many other ones too, Eastern European countries, Poland, 293 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 1: for example. When communists get power, get close to power, 294 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: they just start killing their way to the top. And 295 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: now we see it. And so it's bringing out in 296 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: me the desire to unify on you know, in our 297 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean, does I don't need ideological purity. I just 298 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: need cooperation and let's all get focused on what we're 299 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: doing dealing with here. So I'm saying that kind of 300 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: because I know people are listening to this, that listen 301 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: to you. It's kind of a self Hey, come on now, 302 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: quit quit criticize me, because I'm on your side. I mean, 303 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: this is the point that these people got to understand. 304 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: We're in this together. And if there's any doubt about this. Now, 305 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: maybe you're on the wrong side of football. I'm not 306 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: speaking to you, but I'm just saying, if they're people 307 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: that are still in our Republican movement that see America Firsters, 308 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: or nationalists or Trump supporters or whatever however you want 309 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: to characterize it as being antithetical to their politics, they 310 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: might be on the wrong side. I just throw it 311 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: out there for future consideration. Anyhow, Thank you for giving 312 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,479 Speaker 1: me a minute. Please, you were talking about Melissa Hortman, 313 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: and please continue with this with the order. Do you 314 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: do you see what I'm saying, that they're ordered in 315 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: their thinking. 316 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 2: I do, And that's a very interesting way of phrasing it. 317 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: I don't think it runs in conflict with the point 318 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 2: that I'm trying to make at all. I think that 319 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: the way I would or what I would suggest as 320 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 2: the paradigm through which you're expressing what you're saying is 321 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: that I suppose there is an ordered way to be 322 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 2: a communist, right like there is an ordered way to 323 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 2: be anti American. What I've been saying to this point 324 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 2: is I'm referring to the Western civilization order, right, I'm 325 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: referring to the order that is oriented around the principles 326 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 2: and the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, the idea 327 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 2: that the purpose of society is to provide an environment 328 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 2: where we're able to enjoy our individual rights and enjoy 329 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: peace and liberty, and the rational expectation that people who 330 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: violate our rights or conspire to violate our rights are 331 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: going to meet with justice. So I'm talking about a 332 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 2: Western order, right, and so the thinking on the other side, 333 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: clearly at this point is disordered from that. Regardless of 334 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 2: whether or not it's ordered from their perspective, I don't 335 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 2: care about their perspective, because their perspective to the extent 336 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: it's not aligned with the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, 337 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 2: individual rights, the peace, justice, these concepts that are fundamental 338 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 2: to the American project. Then you get into a little 339 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: bit of it, and I'm not accusing you of this, 340 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: but you get into a little bit of moral relativism 341 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: there where you say, well, it's ordered from this perspective 342 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 2: versus order from that perspective. No matter how organized their 343 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 2: thinking is within their perspective, it's disordered in the sense 344 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: that it's out of alignment with both reality and morality. 345 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: Now you're getting down to it y see, because within 346 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: our constitutional system, the people that framed this system were 347 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: so bad ass that they allowed for other kinds of 348 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 1: ideological frameworks to enter the public square, and they said, hey, 349 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: we're giving you freedom, you're gonna have to keep it. 350 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's up to you now, generation after generation. 351 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: And I want to say, because I think this is 352 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: interesting I'm coming from because I view these people, and 353 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: what comes to my mind is that scene in a 354 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: conference room at the Capitol where your committee was harangued 355 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: by protesters, which you posted up. You know, those people 356 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: came in screaming and they were threatening. Well, they weren't 357 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: ready to go to the next step, but maybe they 358 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: are the next time. So it really brings into in 359 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: the focus that our system allows for this kind of disharmony, 360 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: and maintaining that traditional frame requires the political involvement of 361 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: the citizens. Yes, and I do want to say also, 362 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: when you talk about the constitutional framework, you know it's 363 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: up for grabs what America is in my opinion, I mean, 364 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, and I'm not to be 365 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: relativistic about it. I have a very clear idea about 366 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: what I believe. But if we don't get citizens involved 367 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: in the process if they're not motivated and activated and 368 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: collaborated and cooperating to maintain because you said something interesting morality, 369 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: that morality, you know, you can't You can't capture all 370 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: of morality in a document. Morality lives inside of us. 371 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: That's what it is to be self governing. You know, 372 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: when you're not moral, you need governance. When you're moral, 373 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: you don't need much governance because your your behavior is 374 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: directed from within. Correct. So I'm going to come at 375 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: this and say not relativism. I'm not making any concession 376 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: of these people. I think we have to know our enemy. 377 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: I think we have to know how these people think. 378 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: There's many of them, in my opinion, just having grown 379 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: up in the university system that are captured there. We've 380 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: got to set the captives free. Yes, that's what being 381 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: a Republican is. That's the essence of the party is 382 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: setting the captives free. It's literally what was founded upon. 383 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: That's correct. So when we don't go into CD five, 384 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: if we don't go into CD four, if we're not 385 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: in the city, if we're not going to Rochester, if 386 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: we're not up in Duluth, if our hierarchy has written 387 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: those areas off. We're writing off the American Project because 388 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: that gives them the beachhead, if you think about this 389 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: in a military perspective, to expand their influence with housing, 390 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: with mass transit, with the expansion of programs, and we're just, 391 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: you know, we really up till now, my stridency, my 392 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: militancy within the party, it's because we haven't been doing 393 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: it here in Minnesota. But maybe we're going to make 394 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: a change now. 395 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 2: Well, so that leads me to epiphany number three. Right, well, 396 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 2: let's let's review piphany number one. I went, since there's 397 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 2: a hierarchy, what was epiphany number one? So epiphany number 398 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 2: one was just the shock in awe of the initial moment, right, 399 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 2: Epiphany number two was reacting to the reaction of my God, 400 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 2: these people who have been pretending to be decent human 401 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 2: beings are wearing a mask, and underneath it there god 402 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 2: awful ghouls who would mock my wife if I died tonight. 403 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: And these caused change in you because you call them epiphanies, 404 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: because recognizing this, because you're a public figure of some 405 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: note significance, and you said, wait a second, Okay, So 406 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: because I asked the question how did this change? You 407 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: were changing? Okay, number three. 408 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: So number three is where the rubber meets the road. 409 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 2: After watching the entirety of the Charlie Kirk Memorial on Sunday, 410 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 2: which I maintain was the largest tent revival the world 411 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 2: has ever seen. I mean, you had every single speaker, 412 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 2: whether they were a literal pastor or a friend, or 413 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: some officer within TPUSA, or the Secretary of State, the 414 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 2: Vice President of the United States, the President of the 415 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: United States, all setting there lifting up the name of 416 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. 417 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: Right. 418 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 2: Unbelievable, just an unbelievable expression of national faith on that 419 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,239 Speaker 2: stage for five six hours straight, which is something that 420 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 2: I cannot recall anything like that in my. 421 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: Entire lifetime, nothing even remotely close. 422 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 2: And what it signaled to me was, you know, you 423 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: talk about, and we've talked about in the past, this 424 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: need for unity on our side to the end of 425 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 2: defeating them, right, defeating the Democrats. I think we need 426 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 2: to slightly alter our thinking in this regard because I 427 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 2: gotta tell you, I got in laws, I got friends, 428 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: I got you know, people in my community, neighbors who 429 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 2: I know are voting for Democrats, but they ain't down 430 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 2: with this nonsense. They ain't down with dancing on people's graves, 431 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: they aren't down with communism. They're down, They're they're stuck 432 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 2: in a paradigm from their grandparents and their great grandparents 433 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 2: where the Democrat Party was something different than it. 434 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: I think they called that ancestral democrats. I mean, the Polsters, 435 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't they call it. I think that's what ancestral, 436 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: what Richard Barris called it when he was on I 437 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: think in cl legacy, maybe that's what it was. Democrats 438 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: like you know, and then there's people like me and 439 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: told your thought. You know, I was brought up in 440 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: a communist family. I mean, that's just the fact. And 441 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: then I just looked at the facts, starting when my 442 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: parents took me up to the Prairie Island Nuclear Reactor, 443 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: which is just north of here, just north of Saint Cloud, 444 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: when it was being built, it was like nineteen seventy. 445 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: My mother was out protesting nuclear power, and I said, why, right, 446 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: why what are you having against the light bulbs? You 447 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: know what, what what's the deal? Can you explain this 448 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: to me? Sure? And my mother was so mad at me, 449 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: but you know, so for me, I just I mean, 450 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: but that's the beauty of our country. We all have 451 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: the ability so far to think and feel as we 452 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: are uniquely created to do. But going back to this 453 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: third epiphany about these legacy people in your in your life. 454 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 2: Right, So it occurs to me that the current dicotomy 455 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 2: between the Republicans and the Democrats, because it's unquestionable that 456 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 2: when you've got Barack Obama, you've got a former President 457 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 2: of the United States coming out making these types of statements, right, 458 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 2: you got Tim Walls, of course, the governor of the 459 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 2: state coming out making these types of statements. Clearly institutionally, 460 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party has been captured by this insanity, right, 461 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 2: And so for the time being, yes, of course it 462 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 2: is us versus them right now, it is. 463 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: But that's not sustainable. We can't maintain that. 464 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 2: Like thinking generationally, which is something that modern day Americans 465 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 2: are not good at, right, Like we think in terms 466 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 2: of what's happening next quarter, what's happening next than in 467 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: the next four year election cycle. We need to start 468 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 2: thinking fifty one hundred years in the future, like what 469 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 2: is our country going to look like when we're in 470 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: the ground and it's our great grandchildren who are running things, 471 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 2: and this tension that currently exists can not persist or 472 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 2: the country's going to fall apart. And so our long 473 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 2: term mission, the short term mission is absolutely they need 474 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 2: to be defeated. They need to electorally, they need to 475 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 2: be utterly decimated to what end, though not just so 476 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 2: that we can claim victory and have this cathartic shorten 477 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 2: Freud and be like, look at us, we did it, 478 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 2: so that we can set the stage to invite those 479 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: who remain on their side, on the Democrat side, back 480 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 2: into the American project. We need to lift up within 481 00:28:53,400 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 2: their ranks people who are committed to restoring JFK's Democrat Party, right, 482 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 2: Hubert Humphrey's Democrat Party. Guys who despite the fact that 483 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,479 Speaker 2: they may have held views that I don't personally agree with, 484 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 2: and that we're still gonna have disagreements, They're going to 485 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: be meaningful, profound, important disagreements, but they're disagreements on methodology. 486 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: Not goals. 487 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 2: Right, The goal is how do we how do we 488 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: have a freer society, how do we have prosperity, how 489 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 2: do how do we make make America great again? 490 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: Right? 491 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 2: Like the very fact that MAGA is considered a controversial 492 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 2: statement and is used as an insult or some sort 493 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 2: of you know, demeaning label. Really like we can't come 494 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: together on the idea that America should be great, seriously, 495 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 2: Like that's offensive to you. And it is because the 496 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: controlling forces within the current Democrat establishment are not interested 497 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 2: in America being great. They're interested in dismantling it. And 498 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 2: I know this because I've sat in committee hearings where 499 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 2: they bring in students to argue for ethnic studies, which 500 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 2: is just all that is, is the curriculum of critical 501 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: race theory put in our schools, and they parade example 502 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 2: after example on the testifying stand of students who have 503 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: been fully indoctrinated and to the idea that because I'm 504 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 2: a white male, therefore I can't understand what's going on 505 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 2: in the world, and I need to keep my mouth 506 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 2: shut in order to make space for everybody else to 507 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 2: tell me how oppressed they are. And that was described 508 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 2: in committee by one of my colleagues, and she was 509 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 2: lauding it. She was like, Oh, isn't this wonderful. We've 510 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 2: seen examples of how exactly did she phrase it. We've 511 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 2: seen examples of resistance, We've seen examples of activism, and 512 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 2: I came back to that and I said, that's not 513 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 2: what the public education system is for. I don't want 514 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 2: a public education that produces resistant activists. I want a 515 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: public education system that produces productive citizens, people who are 516 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: ready to go out into the world and make something 517 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 2: of themselves, make something of their communities, and contribute to 518 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 2: this nation of ours, which is in fact the greatest 519 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 2: nation that we've ever seen on the face of the 520 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 2: earth and throughout history. That's what our goal should be. 521 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: And my point here is that we are at a 522 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: point where the two sides, the two parties, don't have 523 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 2: the same goals. They have completely conflicting goals. That's not sustainable. 524 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 2: You cannot have a nation divided, which is essentially what 525 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: we have at this point. We are living through a 526 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 2: soft civil war and it is manifesting in these episodes 527 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 2: of violence. And Charlie Kirk's assassination is only one example. 528 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 2: We've seen several and before, frankly of this type of 529 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 2: left wing terrorism that's taking place. But more fundamentally, it's 530 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: not just the yet. Do we need to prosecute the perpetrators, Absolutely, 531 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 2: do we need to follow through on the way JD. 532 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 2: Vance and Donald Trump have been talking about we're going 533 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 2: to dismantle these organizations. We're gonna defund them, We're going 534 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 2: to prosecute the organizers. We're gonna treat them like the mob. Absolutely, 535 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: we need to do that, but the long term solution 536 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: is to address culturally the fact that there are people 537 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 2: in that camp, and I would like to think they're 538 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 2: the majority. 539 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't know who they are being suppressed. 540 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: I mean, we've felt suppressed over the past few years, 541 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 2: and we have been in terms of like our speech 542 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:54,479 Speaker 2: being curtailed, YouTube, demonetizing channels, you know, people losing their 543 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 2: jobs because they won't take a vaccine or whatever the 544 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 2: case may be. There's been real suppression against us. But 545 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 2: I think what we've been blind to is the fact 546 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 2: that there are people on their side who have also 547 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 2: been suppressed, and to an extent, it's been worse for 548 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 2: them because they can't even complain about it, right if 549 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: they stick their head above there. 550 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: That's interesting, That is an interesting comment. I hadn't thought 551 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,719 Speaker 1: about that. But of course all cultures demand compliance and 552 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: complicity ours does too. I mean, I've been a victim 553 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: of it in the Republican Party. So this is just 554 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: the my cultures function. But I do want to say, 555 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: you know, the the incubator of this is the universities. 556 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: I mean that you were talking about students coming and 557 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: giving testimony. Well, there's a reason why it's students. You're 558 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: talking about curriculum. It's the educational process. If we're looking 559 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: down range and you think about, well, who has the 560 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: you know like me, I mean I'm working every day 561 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: with the sweat of my brow to earn my daily bread. 562 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: Who has the time and the space to project fifty 563 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: or one hundred or five hundred years into the future, 564 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: to try to envision an endpoint for society and then 565 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: put in process those structures and organizations and institutions which 566 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 1: bring forth their endpoint. Well, you know it's very wealthy people, 567 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: and that they have they can set up the incubators, 568 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: the special you know, the special organizations, the think tanks, 569 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: the NGOs, the you know, the the incubators of these ideas, 570 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: and then those people that get trained there get a 571 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: position at the University of Minnesota or Harvard University. I 572 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: mean there's a network of this, Like if you get 573 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,959 Speaker 1: a job. My father taught at university for fifty years 574 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: here's what was his experience. In his responsibility. He had 575 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: six hours of work week. His his work week mandatory 576 00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: was six hours, four hours of classroom, two hours of 577 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: office time for students. So that's what he had for 578 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: a responsibility. The rest of the time he was free 579 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: to work on anything he wanted to. And see, we 580 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: don't understand the people that are out there, you know, 581 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: driving a truck. I mean they really, I mean, we 582 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: just got to understand these people are funded and our 583 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: thinking downrange. And it brought to mind an Italian communist 584 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 1: named Graham Sheet who's been dead for over one hundred 585 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: years but talked about got to take over the academic institutions. Yep, 586 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:38,839 Speaker 1: and he put in process thinking down range. And there's 587 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: two ways. You can be super rich and not have anything. 588 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: You got time on your hands. I mean, if you're 589 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: you know, so it's interesting, they're the same but a 590 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: little different. You know, you can be completely poor and 591 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: have time on your hands to think downrange. And here 592 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: we are, decades and decades later, in our academic institutions 593 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: are just incubators and manufacturing facilities for leftism. And so 594 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:08,919 Speaker 1: I've been for example, I've been complimary to Representative Rarek 595 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: because she stood up and said, there's over two thousand 596 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: people at university that make more money than the governor. 597 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: What's going on? Stopped? No, No, we can't stop. We can't. 598 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: You know, this is why I'm pushing people, because if 599 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: we really want to get to this and solve it, 600 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: what you're saying is we can't con And this is 601 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: not the first time we've been polarized like this. Usually 602 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: what brings us back together is a tremendous blood letting. 603 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 1: Like this kind of polarization existed before the Civil War, 604 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: It existed before World War Two. I don't know, let 605 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: people know that, but there was a very similar polarization 606 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: just before the war. Lots of assassinations, lots of violence, 607 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,439 Speaker 1: lots of strikes. World War Two. Hey, half a million 608 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: Americans die in five years. Hey, fourth turning, we get 609 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: to the first turning, we start all over again. So 610 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: for me, the goal is how do we get through 611 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 1: this transition with the least amount of death? Because I 612 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: am from the culture of life, right, so I'm looking. 613 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 1: But you know, I think in reference to what you're saying, 614 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: it's the schools, and you know, I've had other legislators 615 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: on here. I won't mention their names. When I bring 616 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: up the schools, they shrink back. Now, I don't talk 617 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: about our teachers like that. I got great teachers in 618 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: my district. Okay, maybe there's great, there's great everything. But 619 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,919 Speaker 1: the output, the some of the output is we're looking 620 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: at the evidence, aren't we. Well, that's actually a great example. 621 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 2: Right, So, because I could say the same thing, sincerely, genuinely, 622 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 2: I've got great teachers in my district. I've got great 623 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 2: administrators in my district. But you know what's interesting is 624 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 2: that the conversations that the reason why I know they're 625 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 2: great is because I've had private conversations with them behind 626 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 2: closed doors where they say things in whisper tones, having 627 00:37:59,560 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 2: to look. 628 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: Over their shoulders. Evidentially yes. 629 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 2: And that's what I'm talking about, is there are people 630 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 2: that are trapped in this system who don't go along 631 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 2: with the madness. But they're not in a position because 632 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 2: of where they've found themselves or where they're institutionally where 633 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 2: they can't be me. They can't go on YouTube and 634 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 2: you know, shout down the madness because they'll lose their job, 635 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 2: they'll lose their standing, and they got to pay the mortgage. Right, 636 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,879 Speaker 2: that's a real consideration. I don't begrudge people for having that, 637 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 2: But my point is, if that's the situation, then America 638 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 2: is at stake. It doesn't fundamentally exist in order for 639 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 2: America to be a thing people have to You know, 640 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 2: you live in freedom. You know you live in liberty 641 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 2: when you're not afraid, right, when you're not afraid to 642 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 2: say what you believe, when you're not afraid to pursue 643 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 2: what you believe in your best interest is the thing 644 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 2: you should be pursuing. When you're not afraid to live 645 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 2: your life according to your own values, that's when you 646 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 2: know you're living in liberty. And I think inherently Americans 647 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 2: across the spectrum. 648 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: Have this. 649 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,399 Speaker 2: Voice in the periphery of their mind that's letting them 650 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 2: know you are not free. You're not free to speak, 651 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 2: you're not free to express, you're not free to be 652 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 2: who you want to be and to live how you 653 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 2: want to live, because if you do, you're going to 654 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 2: face consequences, and they're going to be unjust social consequences. 655 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 2: We talked earlier about the cancel culture. Right, there's this 656 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 2: whole conversation out because so many people have been losing 657 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 2: their jobs over the last couple of weeks about. 658 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 1: Oh, you're right wingers. 659 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 2: You were complaining about cancel culture for so long and 660 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 2: now you're the ones who are doing it. And as 661 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 2: Matt Walsh says, there's a fundamental difference. There's a fundamental 662 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:07,399 Speaker 2: difference between losing your job because you said something normal, decent, true, righteous, 663 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 2: normal saying, versus losing your job because you said something abhorrent, heinous, 664 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,800 Speaker 2: on American and evil. And yes, we can tell the difference. 665 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 2: Don't tell me that you can't tell the difference that 666 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 2: it just depends on the point of view saying that 667 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 2: somebody deserved to die because what they think is an American, 668 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 2: plain and simple. It is heinous, it is evil. 669 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 1: Okay, what is it? I mean you're saying it's an American? Yeah, 670 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: what is it? What is it? Because I've I said, okay, 671 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: we got two orders at conflict with each other, and 672 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: you're saying no because you default again to the issue 673 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: of morality. M hm. Okay, So we're saying. What I'm 674 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: hearing you say is that we as Americans have an 675 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: agreed upon cultural expectation about what is moral and good. Yes, 676 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,800 Speaker 1: what is this other ideology? What is it? Can you 677 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: name it? Yeah? 678 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 2: I mean it's I guess, in a word, woke. Right, 679 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 2: it's the idea that I've said for a long time. 680 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 2: You know, back when I had a radio show back 681 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 2: in the day, I used to talk about the dueling 682 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 2: cultures in America and that there's a culture of gratitude, 683 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 2: which is the vast majority, and then there's a culture 684 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 2: of grievance, which is smaller but much more influential. And 685 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 2: the culture of grievance is these are people who wake 686 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 2: up angry every day. They wake up angry every day 687 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 2: and ready to take on the system and dismantle the institutions. 688 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,760 Speaker 2: And they form organizations in order to affect that because 689 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 2: they sincerely believe that they're oppressed by the United States 690 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 2: of America and by Western civilization and by our way 691 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 2: of doing things, by our ordered society. 692 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: They feel that that's oppressive. 693 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 2: The family's oppressive marriage is a press of the patriarchy, 694 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 2: like all these things that they talk about. 695 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: But these Walter, you know, we're kind of dancing around 696 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: this a little bit, because you said earlier this was 697 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: the greatest Christian revival you've ever seen. Probably in human history. Yeah, okay, 698 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: and these moral these moral precepts come out of a 699 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: religious frame. So what I'm just going to say is 700 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 1: they are oppressed by that religious frame from their perspective. 701 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: I'm not being relativistic about it. I'm very clear about 702 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: what I believe. But I know why they feel the 703 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: way they feel. And I've been in plenty of classrooms 704 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: listening to this for a very long time. My point being, 705 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: they're ordered in their thinking, and what they're driving to 706 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: end is the very moral foundations of America. They're not 707 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: after America because if we lose all the the right 708 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: is defeated, because it isn't it's an existential fight. So 709 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: we lose, America is still there, still the United States 710 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: of America. What's going to go away is Christianity. In 711 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 1: my opinion, I think that's what this whole thing. I've 712 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: never viewed Marxism as an economic strategy. I thought that 713 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: was always a cover story. I view it as an 714 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,280 Speaker 1: anti God strategy, because you know, religion is the opiate 715 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 1: of the masses. They're looking to free the people from 716 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: what they believe is the illusion of faith in God. 717 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: And I just want to just say it straight up. 718 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:31,280 Speaker 1: Now there's a risk here, of course, organizing their own religion, 719 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,800 Speaker 1: but we're organized our own religion, so let's quit dancing around. 720 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 1: There are certain things going on. They're organized. They have 721 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: a religion. It's called woke. It's organized, has all the 722 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 1: hallmarks culturally of a religious system, but it's secular. So 723 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: it slipped into our governance, slipped into our universities because 724 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: the framers of this country were so badass they said, hey, 725 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: freedom is freedom, keep it if you can, okay, And 726 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: it slipped in one of the most American of pretenses, 727 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: that I believe this, and that I am free to 728 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 1: believe it, and I'm free to work at the university 729 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: or work at the high school believe in it, and 730 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 1: my views are just as valid as your views. And 731 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: we sat there, particularly in Minnesota because of the unique 732 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: nature of Minnesota culture, and said, yeah, hey, you know what, 733 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm good with that, because hey, you're not going to 734 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: tell me what to think, and I'm not going to 735 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 1: tell you what to think. But what did we find out? 736 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: They are telling us what to think, even down to 737 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,360 Speaker 1: if we if you disagree with us and you're a threat, 738 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: something's going to come out of the muck and meire 739 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,279 Speaker 1: and kill your ass. So now what we have to do. 740 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: I think as Republicans, and I don't necessarily mean it 741 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: as Republicans the party. I mean Republicans people that believe 742 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: in them all are believe in human freedom, believe in 743 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 1: the protection of minority rights, believe that we're sovereign citizens. 744 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,720 Speaker 1: The things that brought you into politics based on previous 745 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 1: conversations that we had, we got organized now. I mean 746 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: we you know, there's a political conversation here. I mean, 747 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,479 Speaker 1: these issues are great to talk about and love talking 748 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 1: about them, but you know, can you be a general? 749 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's one thing to be an elected representative. 750 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just laying it out there. You could say, no, 751 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,320 Speaker 1: that's not my role, but I'm saying I want. What 752 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: I want now is the candidates and the elected representatives 753 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 1: to organize our communities to be the focus that brings 754 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: young people into political activism, political education of their peers, 755 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 1: their friends, their children, their parents, so that we can 756 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 1: really because you're talking about a sustainable, long term cultural change, 757 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 1: politics is just a barometer of cultural change. Yes, we 758 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 1: need and we had this awful event and you know, 759 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: my feeling haven't lived through the sixties, a little bit 760 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,760 Speaker 1: older than you, and we're not down with this because 761 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 1: I I was live when Kennedy was shot, Malcolm X 762 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,399 Speaker 1: was shot, Martin Luther King was shot, and then Bobby 763 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,919 Speaker 1: Kennedy was shot. And at the end my generation said, 764 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: bleep this get We're out and we went out and 765 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:17,720 Speaker 1: just tried to avoid anything controversial, make money, chase women, 766 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 1: get high, have a good time. Begin My generation is 767 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: the most idealistic. We were such an idealistic generation. We 768 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: were in the streets fighting for human freedom, fighting for 769 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:35,919 Speaker 1: peace and prosperity, civil rights, human rights. We four quick 770 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 1: assassinations in five years, and everybody said, we're out, and 771 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,879 Speaker 1: so what are we going to do this time as 772 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:48,800 Speaker 1: this mounts? To help people have the courage because that 773 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: time there was no Christian revival. I mean, it's going 774 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: to tell you that was a very secular time in 775 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 1: our country. But now we have this revival. How I mean, 776 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 1: can you perceive what? Can you see a role maybe 777 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 1: not for you, but for other legislators, other candidates that 778 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 1: every time they walk up to the microphone, you know 779 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 1: you can be involved in politics. Let me tell you 780 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: how and try to bring people in to political participation 781 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: in the So we have forty one hundred precincts in 782 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: this state. I'm going to tell you as a party member, 783 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: they're not staffed and they're not active. So we really 784 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 1: don't have the means to get out the vote of 785 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,279 Speaker 1: the low propensity Republican voters. We don't have a We 786 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 1: have a structure, but we don't have the mechanism. We 787 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 1: don't have the boots on the ground. And if we're 788 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 1: going to really do this, I mean sustainably long term 789 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 1: cultural change, we need to have something happening in forty 790 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: one hundred precincts. And I think people like you that 791 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 1: have the microphone, we talk a lot about issues. Now 792 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: we know what the issues are. We just laid it out. 793 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 1: It's kind of us versus them, isn't it kind of 794 00:47:58,719 --> 00:47:59,879 Speaker 1: in a way, is that what we're saying. 795 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think the point that I was 796 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 2: trying to make earlier, Yes it is. But I'm trying 797 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 2: to reframe who us is and who them are. 798 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 1: Okay, once we get the battle line drawn, and I 799 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: don't mean this in a violent way, I mean in 800 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: a political right. I let me just say this, if 801 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,800 Speaker 1: you're watching Walter because you don't like them, and on 802 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: your left. I'm totally steeped in the Constitution. I believe 803 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 1: that self defense is my right. I'm trained in it, 804 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,959 Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you the most fundamental nature 805 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: of self defense is the best way to win a 806 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: fight is don't be there when it happens. So I 807 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: don't want any fighting. I want us to talk to 808 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 1: each other. But let's define this, continue to find it. 809 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 1: Then I want to come back to how do we 810 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: get the citizens? Because I know you're at the turning port. 811 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: Then you saw what happened there? Yep, wasn't there an 812 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 1: auditorium full of young people? Okay, let's define this and 813 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: let's talk about these young peop real quick. 814 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 2: Let's put a bookmark real quick, because we have to 815 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 2: take a moment to talk about tire get well to 816 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 2: stand on our soapbox for oh oh, thank. 817 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,760 Speaker 1: Tanner Tanner, my producer, Thank you, Tanner. Tanner's talking about 818 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 1: something that's very fundamental here, which is we want to 819 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 1: break even and not go broke doing politics. You know, 820 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 1: there's people that build audiences and they make millions of dollars. 821 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to that if it happened to me, 822 00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: because I'm not a communist. Let's just get to the 823 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: break even phase.

I was actually in a room in nineteen 858 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 1: sixty nine at the university with a handful of academics 859 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: that were high players there where they made a fifty 860 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 1: year plan to turn this state communist. I was in 861 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 1: the room. I was young. I wasn't part of the conspiracy, 862 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 1: but I was a witness to it, and they pulled 863 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 1: it off because no one was paying attention. Now everybody's 864 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: paying attention. Now, let's define who these groups are. And 865 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 1: I want to try to come back to could you 866 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 1: please be a general? Is that an important thing for 867 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,359 Speaker 1: me to say to you? Or do you understand where 868 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:48,920 Speaker 1: I'm coming from? 869 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:53,800 Speaker 2: No, it's not only do I understand. I wholeheartedly agree. 870 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 2: And it ties into what we talked about the last 871 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 2: time I came here to have a conversation. You may 872 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 2: recall I talked about the necessity to have a center 873 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 2: of gravity that pulls all of our factions together in 874 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,799 Speaker 2: the party. Right, And that's true within the Republican Party. 875 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 2: It's also true culturally. 876 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 1: Right. We need our leaders, we need. 877 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 2: Central figures who can speak into the moment. I mean, 878 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,959 Speaker 2: you just listed off all the ones who were assassinated 879 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,799 Speaker 2: in the nineteen sixties, right, there's a reason why they 880 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,240 Speaker 2: were targeted. It's because they commanded this center of gravity 881 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 2: that brought people that led that said this is the 882 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,400 Speaker 2: way things are now. It's disordered. This is where we 883 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 2: need to go and come with me if you want 884 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,800 Speaker 2: to live right. We need that again today and the 885 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,680 Speaker 2: responsibility does fall upon folks like myself and positions of 886 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,320 Speaker 2: elected office and candidates who are seeking elected office. 887 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 1: But it goes beyond that. We all have a ministry. 888 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:52,880 Speaker 1: We all have a sphere of influence. 889 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:57,760 Speaker 2: Business, family, education, wherever you find yourself, the healthcare, wherever 890 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,160 Speaker 2: you find yourself, you have a sphere of influence. And 891 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 2: you could be a general in that sphere of influence. 892 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 2: In order to drive this conversation forward. The second point 893 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 2: that I want to make in response to what you 894 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 2: were saying earlier, you tried to nail it down to 895 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:15,000 Speaker 2: what the fundamental conflict is, and you defined it as 896 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 2: God versus anti God. Like basically, this is just a 897 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,920 Speaker 2: continuation in the garden of Eden, right, This is just 898 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 2: a continuation of the rebellion the next chapter, right, And 899 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:29,360 Speaker 2: I agree with that wholeheartedly. However, when people hear that, 900 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 2: people who aren't believers, people who are secular Americans who 901 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 2: nonetheless agree with the American project, who have signed on 902 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 2: to that social contract that we were talking about earlier, 903 00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,799 Speaker 2: who want to live in a decent society where they're free, 904 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,919 Speaker 2: they'll hear something like that and they'll think, oh, dear Lord, 905 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,799 Speaker 2: these theocrats, right, these Christian nationalists talking about how it's 906 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 2: all about God. Well, listen, you have nothing to fear 907 00:53:53,600 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 2: from Christianity being the moral basis upon on which your 908 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:05,359 Speaker 2: society is founded, because what Christianity recognizes. Go read If 909 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,360 Speaker 2: you've never opened your Bible, I'm not asking you to 910 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 2: come to an altar call, right, I'm not asking you 911 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,320 Speaker 2: to go to church. Just it is an academic exercise 912 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:18,399 Speaker 2: as a philosophical text, right, Go read Romans one all right. 913 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:25,400 Speaker 2: In Romans One, the Apostle Paul says that the power 914 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 2: of God and his attributes are evident based upon the 915 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:31,640 Speaker 2: things that have been made. 916 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 1: What that is a reference to. It's a theological concept 917 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 1: called general revelation. And what it means is that what 918 00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:46,919 Speaker 1: is tells us evidence what is true. 919 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 2: It's basically what Paul was laying out there is what 920 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 2: Isaac Newton and Einstein and every scientist whoever came after 921 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 2: built upon, is that the world is what it is. 922 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,920 Speaker 2: A is a like Aristotle was talking about this stuff, right, 923 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,920 Speaker 2: A is a The world is what it is, and 924 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:09,239 Speaker 2: it is you can discern right from wrong based upon 925 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 2: what has been made, So you don't have to believe 926 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 2: in God. You don't have to give your life to 927 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:21,840 Speaker 2: Christ to recognize that fundamental, which is that the things 928 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 2: work the way they work. If you let your kid 929 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,320 Speaker 2: play in a four lane highway, there's likely going to 930 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 2: be an accident. If you let them jump off your 931 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 2: roof with an umbrella, thinking that they're gonna just kind 932 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,040 Speaker 2: of like glide down Poppins. 933 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,359 Speaker 1: Right there. You did though when I was a kid, 934 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:43,799 Speaker 1: So that's where you're still there. There are certain things 935 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: that just are, They're just real, they're just true. 936 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 2: And that's so I think it's important to say that 937 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 2: because I don't want people to think and this whole 938 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,960 Speaker 2: Christian nationalists meme nonsense. That's that the left comes at 939 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,480 Speaker 2: us with we are we are not, you know, with 940 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,360 Speaker 2: apologies to my to my Muslim friends. 941 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 1: We are not on some crusade to like conquer through force. 942 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 2: Right, we're gonna we're gonna take over the land and 943 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:16,480 Speaker 2: impose our our religious worldview on you. What we're saying 944 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:21,839 Speaker 2: is that we honor our God, we recognize him as 945 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 2: our creator. 946 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,040 Speaker 1: We we dedicate our lives to him. But what that. 947 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 2: Translates to in the real world is real world thinking. 948 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 2: It translates to logic, reason, science, service, sir, Yeah, all 949 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,720 Speaker 2: all the things that are fundamentals of the American project. 950 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: And so. 951 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 2: What we're what we're prescribing here, there's nothing threatening about it. 952 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:51,360 Speaker 2: It's an invitation to join us, be part of this. 953 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 2: You don't have to agree with our religion, you don't 954 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 2: have to agree with every little plank and platform of 955 00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 2: what it is that we have on offer, but you 956 00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:02,800 Speaker 2: should be able to agree with certain fundamentals, one of 957 00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 2: them being we value life at least enough, at least 958 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 2: enough to not dance on each other's graves. 959 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:15,279 Speaker 1: And isn't it interesting? And that's the lynchpin of the 960 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,000 Speaker 1: argument going back to nineteen seventy three. You have to 961 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 1: say to yourself, who was so smart as to pick 962 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 1: that to break our society into two camps? Because my 963 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 1: mother talk about my mother a lot lately. She's getting 964 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 1: older and communist to and active, and she ran the 965 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 1: Democrat Party in Saint Paul for years. Player got a 966 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,440 Speaker 1: law degree, one of the first female graduates of the 967 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 1: University of Minnesota Law School, and used that not to 968 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 1: make money. She used that law degree as a weapon 969 00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,640 Speaker 1: to bring about societal change, which is another thing we 970 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 1: don't understand too well. Out here in the street. There's 971 00:57:56,200 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 1: a lot of lawyers that just practice their true and 972 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 1: they're not held in high regard because of how they 973 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 1: do it. And there's a lot of lawyers that are 974 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,240 Speaker 1: very ethical and wonderful people, and I know some of them. 975 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,920 Speaker 1: But there's another group that wheeled that law degree like 976 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,320 Speaker 1: a cudgel with the intent of bringing the system down. 977 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: Or you don't understand. You understand it because you're a legislator. 978 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 1: You see it up close and personal. But my mother, man, 979 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 1: I just had a conversation with her very recently about this, 980 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,880 Speaker 1: and you know, for her, she sees it. She's very 981 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 1: educated and very smart. She sees what's happening as a woman. 982 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,840 Speaker 1: She will ride this ship down into the bottom of 983 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,360 Speaker 1: the sea over a woman's right to choose abortion. And 984 00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,280 Speaker 1: she actually said to me that grievance thing. She said, 985 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 1: you're a white man. You'll never understand. And I said, Mom, 986 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 1: you're calling me a white man. What kind of scam 987 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 1: is that? You know who I am, you know who 988 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 1: we are. We're not white. If they come the white 989 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 1: people come rounding up, folks, Hey, blacks and jew is 990 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 1: going to go together off to the camps. So why 991 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 1: you talk to me like this? But see that ideology 992 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 1: is so hardwired in her. She wants to maintain what 993 00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,480 Speaker 1: she believes. Because we're talking about cultural life. Now you 994 00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,960 Speaker 1: started this thing off, we're going to just agree that. Well, 995 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, when you take it out at its fundamental place, 996 00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,919 Speaker 1: when you say that God is no longer the master 997 00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 1: of life and death, but men and women are, you've 998 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,320 Speaker 1: really kicked out one of those fundamentals. So downstream fifty 999 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 1: years people are dancing. You know. It kind of makes 1000 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: me mad, actually because I actually say, and this is 1001 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 1: going to be CONTROVERSI people are going to like it. 1002 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:48,360 Speaker 1: You know, women, I recognize your right, but you also 1003 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,960 Speaker 1: have to recognize the cost of that right is far 1004 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:57,040 Speaker 1: beyond beyond an individual child. It has coursened our entire 1005 00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:01,760 Speaker 1: culture in a loud death to replace what was a 1006 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,840 Speaker 1: culture of life. And you have to be old enough 1007 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,160 Speaker 1: to remember when it was a culture of life, because 1008 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,160 Speaker 1: if you're fifty or younger, you have no idea what 1009 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:14,919 Speaker 1: it was like. Now. Was there oppression? Suppression was their problems. Yes, 1010 01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 1: every choice has an outcome that has a benefit and 1011 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:27,400 Speaker 1: a cost. There are benefits, perceived benefits, not the least 1012 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 1: of which is the liberational women. That's a great I mean, 1013 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 1: women have been liberated. They're not property. So I know 1014 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,720 Speaker 1: where my mom's coming from. But where it became crystallized 1015 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 1: the cost of this policy. People are dancing on the 1016 01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:53,560 Speaker 1: grave of Charlie Kirk and telling me that he deserved it. Man, 1017 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 1: that's a high cost to pay. Got a cost benefit 1018 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 1: analysis here. And the other thing about faith, I want 1019 01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,400 Speaker 1: to say, why do people believe it's good for you? 1020 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 1: If you don't believe. If you're watching because you hate Walter, 1021 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 1: you hate me, and let me tell you if you 1022 01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 1: never tried it, Okay, you talk about something you don't 1023 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:16,000 Speaker 1: understand because faith is a process that if you don't 1024 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 1: give over to it, you don't get the benefits. So 1025 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 1: you'll never know the effect that's had in healing my 1026 01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 1: life or possibly Walter's life, because I was a sinner. 1027 01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 1: I mean I was raised in the faith, but hey, 1028 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 1: you know what, I went off and did whatever I 1029 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 1: wanted to for a long time and said, WHOA, this 1030 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,640 Speaker 1: isn't working. I'm seck, how am I going to get 1031 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:39,280 Speaker 1: my well being back? Well? I defaulted to what I knew, 1032 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:43,840 Speaker 1: So you don't know the benefit. You just don't know 1033 01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 1: the benefit if you don't believe. So I urge people 1034 01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 1: when Walter says, read romans, just do it as a 1035 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 1: philosophical exercise. Take Matthew and Mark read them as philosophical 1036 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:59,800 Speaker 1: treatises that you're trying to understand what is the philosophy 1037 01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,160 Speaker 1: of because as Walter said, and I agree with you, 1038 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:06,320 Speaker 1: you don't have to believe in God. In fact, the 1039 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:10,880 Speaker 1: Chinese have a system which Tanner understands because he's a hunter. 1040 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,800 Speaker 1: It's called the natural way. The natural way, you're talking 1041 01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:19,080 Speaker 1: about how things just reveal themselves in nature. What are 1042 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,960 Speaker 1: great scientists like Isaac Newton and Einstein we're revealing studying 1043 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,080 Speaker 1: how does this thing work? Because there's laws to it. 1044 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,280 Speaker 1: There's a natural way. And when we get away from 1045 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 1: the natural way, Hey, you can make water run up hill. 1046 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:36,160 Speaker 1: Takes a pump, right, okay, But eventually the pump breaks, 1047 01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 1: you run out of gas, and the water keeps running 1048 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: on downhill. There's a way things work. And what we're 1049 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,959 Speaker 1: doing in our society right now is we're making water 1050 01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:53,000 Speaker 1: run uphill and it's very costly, it's very damaging, and 1051 01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:55,520 Speaker 1: what are we trying to accomplish so let's go back 1052 01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,320 Speaker 1: to what are these groups. Let's get this thing. I 1053 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 1: want to. I want to, I really, because you're dealing 1054 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,280 Speaker 1: with these people. See when we're out here consuming social 1055 01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,200 Speaker 1: media or just talking with our friends, Hey, we're not 1056 01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 1: really in the trench. That's entertainment. You're in the trench 1057 01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 1: with this. It's a job for you. And when you 1058 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 1: fight with something, you understand it. So help people really 1059 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 1: understand it, because we got all these armchair people, you know, 1060 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,919 Speaker 1: pissing and moaning on social media, but they're not really 1061 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,200 Speaker 1: in the fight like I'm in the fight. I'll tell 1062 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,600 Speaker 1: you a funny story. I almost saw you this past Saturday. 1063 01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,240 Speaker 1: You didn't come to the game. I was there, Okay, 1064 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,640 Speaker 1: I heard you were coming. Don't say anything, none of 1065 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 1: our business. But I'm going to tell you what happened 1066 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,200 Speaker 1: to me when I went down there. I'd been down 1067 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 1: there several weeks earlier for a group put on by 1068 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 1: the American Pact that vic urns runs down there. There 1069 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 1: was more protesters there than there were attendees of the event, 1070 01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 1: and that really shocked me because there was a lot 1071 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,280 Speaker 1: of I mean there was a lot. There was more 1072 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 1: protesters than attendees and then I went down there again 1073 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 1: into CD six, where you live and where you practice? 1074 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 1: And I felt it. I felt the intense amount of 1075 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:14,919 Speaker 1: money coming in from the outside to change CD six, 1076 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 1: really to get rid of Tom Emmer, who has I've 1077 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,919 Speaker 1: been a brutal critic of Tom Emmor, and I thought, man, 1078 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,920 Speaker 1: wait a second, slow down, slow down, look at what 1079 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,400 Speaker 1: this man is facing. I'm viewing him as a threat, 1080 01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 1: and they're putting millions of dollars up to get rid 1081 01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:36,600 Speaker 1: of them. Let's define these groups. Yeah, because now I'm 1082 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,720 Speaker 1: seeking unity within my group, and there're gonna be people 1083 01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,240 Speaker 1: that hear this. They're going to say, you know, I'm 1084 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,600 Speaker 1: selling out. No I'm not. I'm going to fight tooth 1085 01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:47,480 Speaker 1: and nail for what I believe to the endorsement to 1086 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,160 Speaker 1: the primary. The day after the primary, if they're on 1087 01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,840 Speaker 1: that ballot with an R, I'm door knocking for him. 1088 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:58,720 Speaker 1: And if we don't get that attitude, Houstavida can't stand right. 1089 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,200 Speaker 1: So let's go back. I'm telling you I learned something 1090 01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,520 Speaker 1: being you know, you got to be in the fight, 1091 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:09,919 Speaker 1: you gotta be threatened, you gotta be engaged to really 1092 01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,720 Speaker 1: feel it. And I learned so much so I want 1093 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 1: to thank Patty Williamson for putting that event on and 1094 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,919 Speaker 1: me going down. It was the I think they called 1095 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,120 Speaker 1: it the establishment for the Rhinos versus the loons. Yes, 1096 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:25,760 Speaker 1: it was cute because Patty was trying to bring people together. Okay, 1097 01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:31,800 Speaker 1: you know there's an old Arabic saying me and my 1098 01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:35,480 Speaker 1: brother against my cousin, Me and my cousin against a stranger. 1099 01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:37,640 Speaker 1: So I got some people in the party that are 1100 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,400 Speaker 1: calling them cousins as a stretch. But compared to what 1101 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:46,520 Speaker 1: we're dealing with now, people shooting people and celebrating the death. 1102 01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,000 Speaker 1: Oh hey, hey, okay, now, so if you're a nationalist 1103 01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:53,800 Speaker 1: and you're listening, let's get this right now, what's going on, 1104 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 1: Let's get it right. Let's change with the times, the times, 1105 01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:03,000 Speaker 1: make the warrior, let's evolve this whole podcast why I 1106 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,320 Speaker 1: ask Walter on as I fall with social media, and 1107 01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 1: he made statements about personal evolution. He talked about an epiphany. 1108 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 1: I'm having an epiphany. Are any of the rest of 1109 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,919 Speaker 1: you getting this out there? That this is epiphany time? 1110 01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:19,240 Speaker 1: And if we don't have an epiphany, we're lost here. 1111 01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 1: Because those folks they're united, they're on task, they're well funded, 1112 01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 1: and they're still in control of all the institutions. We 1113 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,760 Speaker 1: got President Trump up there, that's great. Are they still 1114 01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:37,400 Speaker 1: in control of Minnesota Governance Representative Hudson? Could you let 1115 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 1: everybody know what you're facing when you go back into session. 1116 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:47,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm facing an entrenched at this point, 1117 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,959 Speaker 2: I call it a racketeering scheme. I mean, we saw 1118 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:52,240 Speaker 2: and I don't want to go down the rabbit hole 1119 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:53,040 Speaker 2: necessarily right now. 1120 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to take you go ahead, okay. 1121 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,360 Speaker 2: Well, just as an example of how it functions, we 1122 01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,760 Speaker 2: had the US Attorney Joe Thompson and come out last 1123 01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,280 Speaker 2: week with an announcement of eight new indictments regarding fraud 1124 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 2: related to the Housing Stabilization Services Program, and he had 1125 01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:11,680 Speaker 2: he made several remarkable statements. He said things like, our 1126 01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,640 Speaker 2: waiver Medicaid programs are basically just fraud programs. He said 1127 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,280 Speaker 2: that the vast majority of the money that we are appropriate, 1128 01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,520 Speaker 2: that we're taken from you, taken from tyre get, taken 1129 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,360 Speaker 2: from our neighbors, taken from the viewers in Minnesota, is 1130 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,400 Speaker 2: going to fraud. That's why, that's where it's going. And 1131 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 2: he said things like we're never going to be able 1132 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 2: to prosecute our way out of this problem, which is 1133 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,480 Speaker 2: another way of saying injustice shell stands just too much 1134 01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:36,240 Speaker 2: of it. You're right, Yeah, there's people who are just 1135 01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:37,480 Speaker 2: who's going to get away with. 1136 01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:43,440 Speaker 1: What the US attorney was saying is that the fraud 1137 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:47,040 Speaker 1: is so wrapped into our governance that if he got 1138 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:48,880 Speaker 1: up every morning and worked twenty four hours a day 1139 01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,200 Speaker 1: with the staff of hundreds, they couldn't get to all 1140 01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:53,840 Speaker 1: of it. That's literally what he said. That's just crazy, 1141 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,040 Speaker 1: isn't it. He yeah, that, you know. And then and 1142 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,480 Speaker 1: then that begs the question which is really starting to 1143 01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 1: bother me because and I don't want to say it's 1144 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,840 Speaker 1: a super an isolated group of people, because I'm going 1145 01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,960 Speaker 1: to tell you, when I see one group getting prosecuted 1146 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,920 Speaker 1: over and over again, you know, if that starts to 1147 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 1: look to me like a cover up of other people 1148 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 1: that are doing the same thing. Because this is when 1149 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:19,240 Speaker 1: when he said, he's basically saying, it's everywhere, all the time. 1150 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:25,120 Speaker 1: So we we have this focus now on new citizens 1151 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,559 Speaker 1: in our country that are exploiting the citizens that are 1152 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:33,000 Speaker 1: exploiting the system very effectively, by the way, and I'm 1153 01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:36,800 Speaker 1: starting to wonder just in terms of that group, where 1154 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,920 Speaker 1: is that money going? Is this organized at a level 1155 01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 1: that's way beyond what anybody's talking about, because we're not 1156 01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:46,240 Speaker 1: talking about a few bucks and a billion dollars in 1157 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:50,080 Speaker 1: a small civil war goes a long way, you see that. 1158 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,880 Speaker 1: I am personally convinced that. 1159 01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,720 Speaker 2: And I don't know the full like all the high 1160 01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:01,759 Speaker 2: resolution details, but I've been exposed to enough, both officially 1161 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,639 Speaker 2: and unofficially, Both both in terms of things like Joe 1162 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,400 Speaker 2: Thompson coming out and saying the things that he said, 1163 01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:10,360 Speaker 2: and also anecdotal conversations with folks in the community. I'm 1164 01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:15,680 Speaker 2: personally convinced that we in Minnesota are victims of an 1165 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 2: intentional racketeering operation. That was that it has been intentionally 1166 01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 2: constructed and orchestrated by high level Democrats in order to 1167 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 2: maintain their power. You know, we often talk about, you know, 1168 01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,920 Speaker 2: why do people keep voting for people like Tim Wallas, 1169 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,920 Speaker 2: Why do people keep voting for Democrat legislative majorities. Well, 1170 01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:40,560 Speaker 2: it's because they've put their thumb on the scale, and 1171 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:42,320 Speaker 2: this is one of the ways in which they've done 1172 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:50,880 Speaker 2: it is through these this this convoluted, sophisticated fraud campaign 1173 01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:55,160 Speaker 2: to both buy loyalty, right, like, come with us and 1174 01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,320 Speaker 2: you'll get rich. Right, that's a pretty strong motivator. But 1175 01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,639 Speaker 2: then also we expect to cut like we wink, wink, 1176 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:04,840 Speaker 2: not nod. We expect you to get back. Yeah, absolutely got. 1177 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 2: We expect you to contribute to our campaigns and to 1178 01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,600 Speaker 2: get your people to vote for us and what have you. 1179 01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,679 Speaker 2: So you know you talk about you asked the question 1180 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 2: of let's define the groups. Right, let me offer some context. 1181 01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:26,080 Speaker 2: I what I observe over the course of history, American 1182 01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,639 Speaker 2: history in particular, is that we set up our laws, 1183 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:31,800 Speaker 2: you said earlier, and it's a great insight, and I 1184 01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 2: agree one hundred percent that to the extent that you're 1185 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,160 Speaker 2: a moral person, or more broadly, to the extent that 1186 01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:41,840 Speaker 2: we're a moral society, we don't require a bunch of laws, right, 1187 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,560 Speaker 2: Like if people are just good people, if it's Mayberry, 1188 01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,760 Speaker 2: you don't need to have all sorts of regulation in. 1189 01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,519 Speaker 1: What peop bullet. Yeah, exactly right. 1190 01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:56,280 Speaker 2: But what happens is we construct our laws in response 1191 01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,360 Speaker 2: to the to our perception of where society is at. 1192 01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:02,800 Speaker 2: And then people take a look at that landscape and 1193 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,240 Speaker 2: they say to themselves, how can I take advantage of this, 1194 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:09,599 Speaker 2: How can I take advantage of the liberties that are 1195 01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:14,080 Speaker 2: provided by this society so benevolently in order to take 1196 01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:18,200 Speaker 2: advantage of my fellow man and engage in criminal enterprise. 1197 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 2: And one example of that was the mob, right, the 1198 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:24,519 Speaker 2: mafia so very similar, I believe to what we're seeing today. 1199 01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:27,519 Speaker 2: Where you have an immigrant group that comes in, they 1200 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:31,639 Speaker 2: bring their culture with them that has at some level, 1201 01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,519 Speaker 2: it's not the entirety of their culture, but it's a 1202 01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:37,000 Speaker 2: part of their culture. Where they had this mafia system 1203 01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:41,760 Speaker 2: right where they're engaged in organized criminal activity and you 1204 01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,120 Speaker 2: kick money up to the guy upstairs, and that's the 1205 01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,840 Speaker 2: way we do things. They brought that to America and 1206 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:51,439 Speaker 2: they utilized they took advantage of the state of our 1207 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,439 Speaker 2: laws at the time to do things like two guys 1208 01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:59,639 Speaker 2: sitting across a table. Right, you're the boss, I'm the henchmen. 1209 01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:04,200 Speaker 2: You say something like, you know, I think it's time 1210 01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:10,400 Speaker 2: for Tanner to take a vacation. Right, you haven't said 1211 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:15,280 Speaker 2: what we both know you mean, right, And then I 1212 01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:20,080 Speaker 2: act upon that, And then if I get caught, you're 1213 01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 2: completely insulated. 1214 01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,840 Speaker 1: I didn't tell them to do that. I didn't I 1215 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:25,719 Speaker 1: didn't do it. It wasn't me. I didn't pull the trigger. 1216 01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,679 Speaker 1: You're only it's only illegal if you get caught. Yeah, 1217 01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:33,120 Speaker 1: that attitude is not based in a moral frame. That's 1218 01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 1: based in a completely different worldview. 1219 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:39,320 Speaker 2: And what we recognize and the way we pushed back 1220 01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,400 Speaker 2: against organized crime and the mob is we recognize that 1221 01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,559 Speaker 2: that was what was going on, and so we had 1222 01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,439 Speaker 2: to alter our laws and alter our approach to to 1223 01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:51,519 Speaker 2: legal mechanisms and concepts in order to respond to the 1224 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,800 Speaker 2: fact that people were taking advantage of rubbernevolence. They were 1225 01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,680 Speaker 2: taking advantage of the liberties that we provide in this 1226 01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,719 Speaker 2: country in order to affect evil, in order to affect death, 1227 01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,640 Speaker 2: in order to affect chaos in the streets. And so 1228 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:03,960 Speaker 2: what we said was, we're going to come up with 1229 01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,880 Speaker 2: this thing called RICO, And what we're going to do 1230 01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:11,080 Speaker 2: is if if you are an associate of an organization 1231 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,880 Speaker 2: and that organization, a member of that organization commits a 1232 01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:21,360 Speaker 2: crime and we can establish that there was a conspiracy there, 1233 01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,240 Speaker 2: every single person involved is going to get charged with 1234 01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 2: the same thing. And you sitting there telling me it's 1235 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,560 Speaker 2: time for Tanner to take a vacation, are going to 1236 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:33,439 Speaker 2: face the exact same responsibility that I am. It's the 1237 01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:36,240 Speaker 2: exact same accountability that I'm going to face for having 1238 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:40,439 Speaker 2: pulled the trigger. Right, there's a similar need in the 1239 01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,840 Speaker 2: here and now in response to what we're seeing from 1240 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:46,559 Speaker 2: the left. For years, we have watched, as you mentioned, 1241 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 2: we have watched as these organizations that are proceeding under 1242 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 2: the auspices of political activism and public service. Yeah right, nonprofits, 1243 01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:04,879 Speaker 2: political organizations, campaign organisations have been orchestrating and materially providing 1244 01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:09,320 Speaker 2: support for the burning of Minneapolis, the burning of the 1245 01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:10,080 Speaker 2: Third Precinct. 1246 01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 1: You know. 1247 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:15,439 Speaker 2: Oh, just so you know, like the way that conversation, 1248 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:19,240 Speaker 2: the Boss Henchman conversation happens today is we really want 1249 01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:20,719 Speaker 2: you to guys to take to the streets. 1250 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: Wink. 1251 01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,320 Speaker 2: And by the way, if you happen to notice a 1252 01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:28,599 Speaker 2: palet of bricks on the corner, they're just there case 1253 01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:29,599 Speaker 2: fid a use for him? 1254 01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:33,200 Speaker 1: Right, And this is coming from the most senior seats 1255 01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:38,080 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party. I just saw Jamila Priopaul from 1256 01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:43,360 Speaker 1: I think Washington, she's the leader of the House Minority Caucus, 1257 01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:45,680 Speaker 1: and who say that it's time to go to the streets. Yes, 1258 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:47,880 Speaker 1: that's exactly it. I just tweeted about that this morning. 1259 01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,040 Speaker 1: Oh you did. Okay, so there we are. You know, 1260 01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,600 Speaker 1: that's the great thing about social media. We see it 1261 01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 1: and we can respond to it. Yeah, but that's just. 1262 01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:00,240 Speaker 1: And then people are saying, and this is true. After 1263 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 1: the Charlie Kirk thing, there was no rioting, no burning, 1264 01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:06,439 Speaker 1: no killing, no revenge killings. What does that say about 1265 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:10,439 Speaker 1: that moral frame of the Christians. Well, what it says 1266 01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:16,400 Speaker 1: to the outsider or the newcomer is they're soft. They 1267 01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:19,639 Speaker 1: can be exploited. You talked about these groups come in. Well, 1268 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,439 Speaker 1: there's also a you don't have to look at things. 1269 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,759 Speaker 1: I tend to want to look at things three hundred 1270 01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,599 Speaker 1: and sixty degrees. I'm not giving up what I believe, 1271 01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:30,519 Speaker 1: but I like to know how things happened. I speak 1272 01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,400 Speaker 1: about it from the Jewish perspective. My family came here 1273 01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:38,160 Speaker 1: in the thirties, twenties, thirties, forties, lived in a ghetto, 1274 01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 1: couldn't get a job, wouldn't be hired, couldn't even have 1275 01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:46,360 Speaker 1: their doctors practicing in the hospitals. Intense discrimination. What he 1276 01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:50,160 Speaker 1: ended up doing called the Jewish mob because there was 1277 01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:54,679 Speaker 1: nothing available to these people. They wanted the American dream, 1278 01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,800 Speaker 1: they came for the American dream, but there was no 1279 01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:01,960 Speaker 1: effort to incorporate these into the American dream. They were 1280 01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:06,240 Speaker 1: actually pushed aside, which of course the young strong bulls say, Okay, 1281 01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,600 Speaker 1: that's the game you're going to play. We're going to 1282 01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:11,760 Speaker 1: rob you, and then they study the laws to exploit them. 1283 01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,559 Speaker 1: We have this on the international stage with the Chinese. 1284 01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:19,000 Speaker 1: The Chinese, I can say from personal experience, study our 1285 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 1: laws to exploit them, not to follow them. If I 1286 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,480 Speaker 1: read a law, I read it to be in compliance 1287 01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 1: with it, because I'm an American citizen and I believe 1288 01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,599 Speaker 1: in our constitution. But I'm going to tell you when 1289 01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:33,760 Speaker 1: you make a lot of laws that I'm reading, and 1290 01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,559 Speaker 1: I'll call this, it can curve out the other way, 1291 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:40,920 Speaker 1: where the laws become oppressive, start to not work any 1292 01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,240 Speaker 1: We're in a spot, is what I'm trying to say. 1293 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,400 Speaker 1: So would this reset we're talking about figuring out who 1294 01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:48,280 Speaker 1: these people are and how we're going to look down 1295 01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,639 Speaker 1: range fifty to one hundred years from now. I think 1296 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:52,400 Speaker 1: the critical thing. I'm going to say it back to 1297 01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:54,680 Speaker 1: you because you would have said that same thing to me, 1298 01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:58,880 Speaker 1: because we have that in common. A moral and just 1299 01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:04,839 Speaker 1: people do not need an oppressive governance, their self governing. 1300 01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 1: That is the whole essence of the philosophy of republicanism, 1301 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:14,480 Speaker 1: and that constitution and declaration is the embodiment of a philosophy. 1302 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:19,559 Speaker 1: It's the opera, opera opera. It's operating, it's putting into 1303 01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 1: operation ideas, philosophical ideas, and making them into governance. And 1304 01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:29,640 Speaker 1: it's broken down. Now people need governance because we've removed 1305 01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:35,439 Speaker 1: that internal compasses. An experiment going back to progressive education, 1306 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:39,320 Speaker 1: and I just look at it and I say, Okay, 1307 01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,560 Speaker 1: I was a progressive. I was grew up in a 1308 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:45,400 Speaker 1: communist household. I'm just looking at the evidence. Hey, if 1309 01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 1: you're on the left, is this working for is this 1310 01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:52,160 Speaker 1: really working for anybody? And the answer is no, it's not. 1311 01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,320 Speaker 1: So the left and the right, the far left and 1312 01:17:55,400 --> 01:18:00,599 Speaker 1: the far right, have the almost identical diagnosis of the problem. 1313 01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:05,040 Speaker 1: We just differ in the solution, but the diagnosis of 1314 01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:10,519 Speaker 1: this problem, which is a corruption of our institutions. Nothing 1315 01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:14,000 Speaker 1: wrong with the institution. It's the people. It's about the people. 1316 01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,040 Speaker 1: It's about what the people are taught, who's teaching them, 1317 01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,599 Speaker 1: what are they teaching them? That That's where I'm coming. 1318 01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 1: So you know, I had Phil Parish on here and 1319 01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:24,439 Speaker 1: I said, Phil, I'm a political activisty. I don't like 1320 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:27,439 Speaker 1: that word. You're an educator. Okay. What we need is 1321 01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:34,840 Speaker 1: what I think we need is less issues and more 1322 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:39,040 Speaker 1: education on what we can take as steps as American 1323 01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:44,840 Speaker 1: citizens to change this culture. And you're a leader, and 1324 01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,840 Speaker 1: I think your leadership is growing. You've stepped you've had 1325 01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:52,320 Speaker 1: an epiphany. Okay, now that you have the epiphany, what's 1326 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,800 Speaker 1: your next step? Where are you headed with this? Yeah? 1327 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:59,560 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I could tell you I'm a I 1328 01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 2: like to consider myself to be a pretty quick learner. 1329 01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:02,360 Speaker 1: Right. 1330 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,240 Speaker 2: I've only been in the legislature that I've been through 1331 01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,720 Speaker 2: three sessions at this point, and I've spent a lot 1332 01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 2: of that time my outspoken nature, and notwithstanding believe it 1333 01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,920 Speaker 2: or not, I've been a relative wallflower like legislatively in 1334 01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:17,880 Speaker 2: terms of just kind of sitting back and watching how. 1335 01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,720 Speaker 1: The process works, learning the system, learning the system. 1336 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:24,559 Speaker 2: And you hear all this talk about you know, we're 1337 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,479 Speaker 2: a one big, happy team and you got to be 1338 01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,040 Speaker 2: a team player, and YadA, YadA, YadA. One of the 1339 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:34,959 Speaker 2: things that I've noticed on the other side, my Democrat colleagues. 1340 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:39,720 Speaker 2: It's not their team players who get what they want. 1341 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,720 Speaker 2: You look at the Queer Caucus, which that's what they 1342 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,200 Speaker 2: call themselves. I'm not demeaning them by calling them that, 1343 01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:52,519 Speaker 2: the posse caucus people of color, right. The Emma Greenman, 1344 01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:56,200 Speaker 2: who's widely regarded, She's spoken of in the halls and 1345 01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:59,360 Speaker 2: the corridors of the Capitol. Her nickname is the terrorist 1346 01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,759 Speaker 2: in terms of how she conducts herself through the legislative process. 1347 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,680 Speaker 2: Omar Fatah, who on the second to last day of 1348 01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,759 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four legislative session, shut the entire Senate 1349 01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:11,679 Speaker 2: down because he wanted to get his Uberbrille passed. 1350 01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:15,559 Speaker 1: All of these people get what they want. They are 1351 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:17,479 Speaker 1: rewarded for going rogue. 1352 01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:22,479 Speaker 2: Now I look at that and I don't necessarily come 1353 01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:25,160 Speaker 2: away with the conclusion that that's what I need to do, 1354 01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,840 Speaker 2: that it's a good idea for me to just recklessly 1355 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:32,760 Speaker 2: throw my colleagues under the bus in order to make 1356 01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:35,719 Speaker 2: some sort of point or to try to push something 1357 01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,640 Speaker 2: in particular. But what it does show me is that 1358 01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:45,120 Speaker 2: there is a dynamic in the legislature where leadership can 1359 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:53,040 Speaker 2: be unassigned, it can be organic. You can lead simply 1360 01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:58,280 Speaker 2: by standing up and doing the thing, and people will 1361 01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:04,880 Speaker 2: follow that tendency or that that decision. That methodology can 1362 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:09,479 Speaker 2: be used constructively or can be used counterproductively. I want 1363 01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 2: to use it constructively to be able to to and 1364 01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:14,960 Speaker 2: I already have in the past couple of weeks in 1365 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:18,439 Speaker 2: terms of the things I've been saying. The mere fact 1366 01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,200 Speaker 2: that I'm willing to come on your show. I've done 1367 01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,479 Speaker 2: a number of other podcasts and at Alphnus this week 1368 01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:26,519 Speaker 2: as well, where I'm willing to sit here and say, yeah, 1369 01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 2: it's just one giant racketeering operation like the Democrats are. 1370 01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm convinced. 1371 01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:35,240 Speaker 2: And look, I qualify it with I don't know this 1372 01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 2: for an absolute provable fact, but it is my personal 1373 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,000 Speaker 2: conviction based upon everything that I've been You. 1374 01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,200 Speaker 1: Said it quite well. We just had related it. What 1375 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:45,240 Speaker 1: you said was if we're sitting around in a room, 1376 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 1: right the boss, he doesn't have to say anything, he 1377 01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 1: just has to sit there, and if you don't say no, 1378 01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:54,160 Speaker 1: it's yes. 1379 01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:58,360 Speaker 2: And in the legislature there's this tendency, and part of 1380 01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:00,639 Speaker 2: it is just like the way the institution new structure, 1381 01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:04,439 Speaker 2: because you can't speak to personalities, you can't impune motives 1382 01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,759 Speaker 2: that we have to kind of dance around these things. 1383 01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:08,080 Speaker 1: Right. 1384 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,720 Speaker 2: We can't cut we can't take the acts of the 1385 01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:14,320 Speaker 2: route and say, listen, buddy, I know what you're doing 1386 01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,640 Speaker 2: and I know why you're doing it. Right, But I 1387 01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:21,439 Speaker 2: can say that literally anywhere else, right, I can say 1388 01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 2: that in public. And I feel as though we have 1389 01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 2: been nipping at the edges of this problem, like when 1390 01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:32,680 Speaker 2: we talk about fraud, it's trying to figure out like 1391 01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,800 Speaker 2: like we're talking about the mechanisms of the state agencies. 1392 01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:38,160 Speaker 2: We bring in the state agencies to the Fraud Committee 1393 01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:39,680 Speaker 2: and we ask them, well, what are you doing? What 1394 01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 2: mechanisms do you have in place in order to deal 1395 01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,240 Speaker 2: with this problem? Which I'm not saying that's not a 1396 01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:48,120 Speaker 2: worthwhile endeavor, but it doesn't cut to the heart of the. 1397 01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:50,679 Speaker 1: Issue, which is what is the heart of the issue. 1398 01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:54,000 Speaker 2: The heart of the issue is the person the mother 1399 01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:59,400 Speaker 2: who signed up for tutoring services didn't get them, and 1400 01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,599 Speaker 2: the person who conned her into signing up for them 1401 01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 2: is bill in the state for thousands of dollars and 1402 01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 2: going out and buying a BMW. That's the heart of 1403 01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:13,280 Speaker 2: the issue. The heart of the issue is where who 1404 01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,240 Speaker 2: taught these folks how to do what they're doing. You 1405 01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,759 Speaker 2: expect me to believe that, as US attorney Joe Thompson 1406 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:25,560 Speaker 2: said on Day one, within a couple of years, you 1407 01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:32,559 Speaker 2: had hundreds, hundreds of completely fraudulent companies set up, many 1408 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:36,960 Speaker 2: of them like two dozen to a building, all engaged 1409 01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,040 Speaker 2: in just bill in the state and doing nothing. 1410 01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,160 Speaker 1: Did they all like independently? 1411 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:44,760 Speaker 2: You expect me to believe that independently hundreds of people 1412 01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 2: decided that they were going to do that all the 1413 01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,240 Speaker 2: same time and had the institutional knowledge to make it happen. 1414 01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,479 Speaker 1: We're dancing around the edge of this thing again. So 1415 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:56,360 Speaker 1: what we're saying is what I'm hearing you say is 1416 01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,800 Speaker 1: there was some kind of organization. And then when I 1417 01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:06,400 Speaker 1: hear organization and I'm looking at billions, you know you 1418 01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:08,519 Speaker 1: don't have to kick that much up to the local 1419 01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:12,760 Speaker 1: boss to keep him happy. It's Minnesota. Afterwards, where's all 1420 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:17,639 Speaker 1: that money going? Who organized this massive transfer of money 1421 01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:21,960 Speaker 1: from Minnesota taxpayers? Yes? Where did it go? I mean 1422 01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm not you know, even myself saying that, I get 1423 01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,280 Speaker 1: a little bit afraid because I know that I have 1424 01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 1: presumptions about this. I have presumptions about who organized it. 1425 01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't have any evidence, right, and so all the 1426 01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:39,000 Speaker 1: players intermediate get a commission for taking the money from 1427 01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:43,720 Speaker 1: me and sending it somewhere for some purpose. So you know, 1428 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:45,720 Speaker 1: if I you know, look at this person, they bought 1429 01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,600 Speaker 1: a BMW, that's not the issue. That's the symptom of 1430 01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:53,479 Speaker 1: the issue. Where'd that money go? Who organized this? Who's 1431 01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,519 Speaker 1: going to ask those questions? Because now we're getting down 1432 01:24:56,560 --> 01:25:01,760 Speaker 1: into areas really, maybe it's just greed. I'd be happy 1433 01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:04,839 Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, no, No, A couple billion dollars disappeared 1434 01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:07,479 Speaker 1: into the pockets of really greedy people and they're living 1435 01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:09,800 Speaker 1: large at our expense. Okay, I'd like to know that 1436 01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:13,800 Speaker 1: if that's but a couple billion, Yeah, come on, you 1437 01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:18,080 Speaker 1: finance armies with a couple billion dollars That finance is war. 1438 01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:20,680 Speaker 1: I don't know that to be the case, but I'm 1439 01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:24,040 Speaker 1: asking the question because you're going to go back into session. Yes, 1440 01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:27,200 Speaker 1: And if I'm thinking this, I'm not alone. This is 1441 01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:29,919 Speaker 1: a giant slush fund. A lot of people got commission 1442 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:33,320 Speaker 1: moving this money around. Where'd the money go? That old 1443 01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:36,120 Speaker 1: saying follow the money? 1444 01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:40,280 Speaker 2: Correct, Yeah, that's why I'm calling upon And I don't 1445 01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:43,519 Speaker 2: know if she'll hear it or respond, but I've put 1446 01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:45,400 Speaker 2: out a number. You know, I've been publicly calling on 1447 01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:50,479 Speaker 2: Pambondi to get off her backside. Buy a second home 1448 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,240 Speaker 2: in Minnesota, you know, get a cabin on a lake, 1449 01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:55,240 Speaker 2: enjoy yourself in the summer. 1450 01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:59,080 Speaker 1: But by god, get to work. You can make your 1451 01:25:59,160 --> 01:25:59,680 Speaker 1: career here. 1452 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,040 Speaker 2: You're never going to run out of people to prosecute, 1453 01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:06,280 Speaker 2: because this is endemic, it is systemic, and it is organized. 1454 01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:08,720 Speaker 1: And indeed, you do need to follow the money. You 1455 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:09,160 Speaker 1: need to know. 1456 01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:14,240 Speaker 2: It's not enough to determine and to prosecute. And that's 1457 01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,000 Speaker 2: the thing is right now, the focus is well, who 1458 01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:17,200 Speaker 2: did this and what did they do? 1459 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:19,760 Speaker 1: That is not enough? 1460 01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:23,600 Speaker 2: What did they do with that money? Where did that 1461 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:25,960 Speaker 2: money go? Yeah we know some of it went to 1462 01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 2: vacation homes. Yeah we know some of it went to BMW. 1463 01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:30,560 Speaker 1: Those are commissions. 1464 01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:37,640 Speaker 2: But who were they contributing to politically? Who got political 1465 01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:41,880 Speaker 2: contributions from these people? And you're probably going to have 1466 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,599 Speaker 2: to trace the cash through a couple of entities, through 1467 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,360 Speaker 2: a few entities in order to find out it went here, 1468 01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:49,760 Speaker 2: and then it went here, and then went here and 1469 01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,800 Speaker 2: then went here. And you might not be able to 1470 01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:55,640 Speaker 2: draw a straight line because of the way things are 1471 01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:59,479 Speaker 2: in the accounting, but you can make some implications, right, 1472 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:05,720 Speaker 2: and then those the places where it ends up, those 1473 01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:08,160 Speaker 2: folks need to be under federal scrutiny. 1474 01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:11,720 Speaker 1: Those folks need to be accountable, held accountable for being 1475 01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:15,200 Speaker 1: the receivers of ill gotten gains. I mean, if you're 1476 01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:18,840 Speaker 1: talking mafia, I mean they was followed the money which 1477 01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:23,040 Speaker 1: took down a lot of those folks reco laws. But 1478 01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,599 Speaker 1: I also want to say relative to Pam Binding moving 1479 01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:30,400 Speaker 1: to Minnesota, which you know that's a metaphor y, but 1480 01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you why it's such an incredible metaphor. 1481 01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 1: I don't think even our elected representatives understand what Minnesota 1482 01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:47,280 Speaker 1: really represents to worldwide leftism, worldwide, let alone American. This 1483 01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:52,559 Speaker 1: is the incubator, this is one of the primary nodes. Yes, 1484 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,800 Speaker 1: you know, and I tell this story, people think I'm crazy. 1485 01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm that weird dude that reads the bills. Yeah, and 1486 01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't that long ago that it looked 1487 01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,240 Speaker 1: like we were going to have four more years of Democrats, 1488 01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,200 Speaker 1: and I there was a federal bill, a federal election 1489 01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:12,600 Speaker 1: law bill. Now, if you follow Amy clomachar like I do. 1490 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:17,280 Speaker 1: Her normal bill is beautifying the Lake Superior waterfront, more 1491 01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:23,280 Speaker 1: air traffic controllers in small rural airports. She's very smart 1492 01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:25,760 Speaker 1: about what she does for her because she wants to 1493 01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:31,439 Speaker 1: be president. She ran for president. There was a bill 1494 01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:35,760 Speaker 1: on federal election law had one sponsor, Senator Amyklobachar. I said, 1495 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:37,320 Speaker 1: you know, I want to read this. This is before 1496 01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:39,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. This is when it looked like we were 1497 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:43,439 Speaker 1: going into the sea in this movement. Not that long. 1498 01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:47,000 Speaker 1: People forget how dark it was when Bannon went to jail, 1499 01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:50,040 Speaker 1: when Navarro went to jail, when Trump was under indictment 1500 01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:52,080 Speaker 1: all over the country. It didn't look like we were 1501 01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:55,599 Speaker 1: coming out of this thing, right. And I'm podcasting thinking, whoop, 1502 01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to the Gulag. And I want you to 1503 01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:00,240 Speaker 1: know that when you come on here, this is a 1504 01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:02,680 Speaker 1: place where anybody that comes on, all your colleagues, they 1505 01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:05,280 Speaker 1: come on. I'm going to talk to them just like you, respectfully. 1506 01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:09,120 Speaker 1: I got my punted hat, and I got my news hat. 1507 01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,960 Speaker 1: This is my news interviewer hat. And I want all 1508 01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:14,160 Speaker 1: of everybody to come on here because we need these 1509 01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:18,200 Speaker 1: centers of gravity to emerge, and those of you that 1510 01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:21,519 Speaker 1: are listened. Remember what I said the day after that primary. 1511 01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:23,920 Speaker 1: I'm door knocking for whoever's gotten our after their name. 1512 01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:27,679 Speaker 1: Now not everybody feels that way, but see the times 1513 01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:31,880 Speaker 1: make the warrior, and I'm changing. I'm changing. We can't 1514 01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:35,040 Speaker 1: just fight each other twenty four hours a day, seven 1515 01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,480 Speaker 1: days a week. There has to be a secession of hostilities. 1516 01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:40,400 Speaker 1: And this has always been this way. There's always been 1517 01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:45,120 Speaker 1: internal conflict. And then okay, me and my brother against 1518 01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:47,600 Speaker 1: my cousin, my cousin against the stranger. We got some 1519 01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:52,479 Speaker 1: strangers in our mits. But this state. I was reading 1520 01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:55,400 Speaker 1: that bill and it was a thousand page bill, and 1521 01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:57,720 Speaker 1: I was about one hundred page into it, and I 1522 01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:01,560 Speaker 1: was going, man, this is so familiar. Why is this 1523 01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:08,439 Speaker 1: so from It's Minnesota election law. Minnesota's election laws are 1524 01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:14,320 Speaker 1: the damn template for federalizing our elections. This is the center, 1525 01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:21,880 Speaker 1: This is the ideological center. So Pambody Bondy coming here metaphorically, man, 1526 01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:24,799 Speaker 1: we need to draw our attention. We need to realize 1527 01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:29,320 Speaker 1: that if we can beat the left here in Minnesota 1528 01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:34,520 Speaker 1: and turn this state back to the philosophy of republicanism, 1529 01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:38,599 Speaker 1: change our culture in the state. We took out their 1530 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:42,760 Speaker 1: command center. It's the death Star, yep. And I don't 1531 01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:45,240 Speaker 1: know that we're all focused on that when we're all 1532 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,960 Speaker 1: stabbing each other into the back. And I'm going to 1533 01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:52,360 Speaker 1: quit that and get my mind focused on making But 1534 01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, if you're a Republican within our after your 1535 01:30:54,960 --> 01:30:57,400 Speaker 1: name and you're really a Democrat, you're not really helping. 1536 01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:01,560 Speaker 1: There's two clear distinct groups here. Let's end with that. 1537 01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:04,760 Speaker 1: Let's get let's get these groups a little bit better 1538 01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,880 Speaker 1: defined from your perspective being in the ring with them. 1539 01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:11,880 Speaker 1: Because you're in a position to tell me you're fighting 1540 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:14,439 Speaker 1: with them, What does it mean? What are we dealing 1541 01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:14,720 Speaker 1: with you? 1542 01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I really haven't been fighting with my 1543 01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:23,160 Speaker 2: colleagues in the party in the caucus. 1544 01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about not just within the caucus. I'm talking 1545 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:28,360 Speaker 1: about the other side. I want to get these. 1546 01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:31,599 Speaker 2: Two sure, sure, sure, So this is what I'll say 1547 01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:33,519 Speaker 2: is and I don't know if this is a direct 1548 01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:36,840 Speaker 2: answer to what you're aiming at or not, but it's 1549 01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:40,600 Speaker 2: what pops into my head. Is that because I was 1550 01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:43,160 Speaker 2: an activist for a long time before I was an 1551 01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:46,479 Speaker 2: elected representative, right Like, I was doing this commentary stuff 1552 01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:49,599 Speaker 2: for years. I was writing for the David Horwitz Freedom Center. 1553 01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 2: I was, you know, I had a radio show for 1554 01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:54,880 Speaker 2: three years. I've been around, I was in the Tea party, 1555 01:31:55,760 --> 01:32:00,120 Speaker 2: So I'm very very familiar with the activist mindset and 1556 01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:03,880 Speaker 2: the activist mindset. What I observe about it is that 1557 01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:10,240 Speaker 2: it's very much focused on kind of this inquisition of 1558 01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:17,840 Speaker 2: identify the rhino, kill the rhino metaphorically right like. And 1559 01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:21,439 Speaker 2: I think that that's the wrong approach, not just and 1560 01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:24,320 Speaker 2: I'm not just making like the oh team are we 1561 01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,759 Speaker 2: all need to be one big, happy family argument because 1562 01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:28,320 Speaker 2: that doesn't work either. 1563 01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:32,799 Speaker 1: Very clearly, what I've. 1564 01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:34,840 Speaker 2: Recognized, and Trump is the one who taught me this 1565 01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:41,479 Speaker 2: by watching him, you don't need to change everybody's heart 1566 01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:44,479 Speaker 2: and mind. What you need to do is you need 1567 01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:50,720 Speaker 2: to lift up key leaders that center of gravity, and 1568 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:52,800 Speaker 2: everybody else is going to come along. Look at the 1569 01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:58,000 Speaker 2: second Trump administration. Look who who it's composed of. 1570 01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:03,080 Speaker 1: You got JD. Vans, who, like me in twenty sixteen, 1571 01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:04,679 Speaker 1: was calling Trump a fascist. 1572 01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:13,760 Speaker 2: Okay, you've got RFK junior Democrat as they come, old 1573 01:33:13,800 --> 01:33:16,680 Speaker 2: school Democrat, but Democrat. You got Tulsa Gabbert. She was 1574 01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:21,360 Speaker 2: a Democrat congresswoman she was a Democrat candidate for President 1575 01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:26,160 Speaker 2: of the United States. Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio, 1576 01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,720 Speaker 2: the dude who in twenty sixteen he was part of 1577 01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:31,559 Speaker 2: what the Gang of eight or whatever they called him, 1578 01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:33,479 Speaker 2: trying to do the amnesty and all that. And now 1579 01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:36,640 Speaker 2: he's the Secretary of State and he's and he's you know, 1580 01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:40,599 Speaker 2: behind Trump, rah rah, maga, maga. Now does he feel 1581 01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:43,479 Speaker 2: that it is hard of hearts? I hope so, But 1582 01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:45,400 Speaker 2: it actually doesn't matter. 1583 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:49,560 Speaker 1: What he feels. What he believes is almost. 1584 01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:53,360 Speaker 2: Irrelevant because he's he's been drawn in by that center 1585 01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:57,240 Speaker 2: of gravity to the orbit of the leader who is 1586 01:33:57,320 --> 01:33:59,320 Speaker 2: showing him this is who's telling him this is the 1587 01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:01,360 Speaker 2: way we're going, and you're either coming along or you're 1588 01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:04,760 Speaker 2: gonna be irrelevant. So I think the entire approach to 1589 01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:09,840 Speaker 2: activism for folks who are frustrated needs to shift from 1590 01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:13,040 Speaker 2: this kind of candidate by candidate inquisition of what you know, 1591 01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:15,160 Speaker 2: how conservative are you and do you really believe this? 1592 01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:17,560 Speaker 2: And are you sence here and are you genuine? Is 1593 01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:20,200 Speaker 2: first of all, it's never gonna work like you don't 1594 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,360 Speaker 2: have kind of like what what Joe Thompson was saying 1595 01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:24,080 Speaker 2: you're not gonna be able to prosecute your way out 1596 01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:26,160 Speaker 2: of this. You're not gonna be able to primary your 1597 01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:26,720 Speaker 2: way out of this. 1598 01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:30,360 Speaker 1: Okay, it's not gonna it's not gonna work. Center of gravity. Yeah, 1599 01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:35,000 Speaker 1: you need to find the people who are so dynamic 1600 01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:40,880 Speaker 1: and have the vision and draw everybody else to them 1601 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,560 Speaker 1: and pave the way. In other words, what you're saying is, 1602 01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:50,280 Speaker 1: it's not about ideological purity. It's about creating a center 1603 01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:52,840 Speaker 1: of gravity where we all can rally towards. Which is 1604 01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:55,680 Speaker 1: and I think about it a little bit differently and 1605 01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:58,520 Speaker 1: about my own role in it. We get so narcissistic, 1606 01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:04,040 Speaker 1: all of us about what we think. Actually, American Republicanism 1607 01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:09,200 Speaker 1: is a it's a giant system of organizing the human will. 1608 01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:12,360 Speaker 1: We all have this will. It's a it's politics is 1609 01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:14,599 Speaker 1: about the human will. War is about the human will. 1610 01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:18,280 Speaker 1: Who's going to have the will to prevail? It doesn't 1611 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,200 Speaker 1: mean we all have to have the same ideas. It's 1612 01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:25,240 Speaker 1: about the system working in the direction that brings us 1613 01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:31,680 Speaker 1: enhanced human well being, enhanced human economic prosperity. I mean 1614 01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:34,360 Speaker 1: that it's about well being and prosperity, life, liberty, and 1615 01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:36,920 Speaker 1: the pursuit of happiness, which, as you know, was originally 1616 01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:40,200 Speaker 1: written up as the pursuit of property. The property which 1617 01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:42,840 Speaker 1: was which is prosperity. And they just got a little 1618 01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:48,360 Speaker 1: bit soft on that. Ye for these well for political reasons. 1619 01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:50,439 Speaker 1: But but but but you know, if we're if we're 1620 01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:55,680 Speaker 1: heading towards enhancing human well being American citizen, well be, 1621 01:35:57,520 --> 01:36:00,160 Speaker 1: we're back to the natural way. We're back to what 1622 01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:03,160 Speaker 1: works and what doesn't work. So we've taken a giant, 1623 01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:06,240 Speaker 1: hundred year experiment and something that's not working. That doesn't 1624 01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:09,800 Speaker 1: mean anybody's bad. I mean, you have children. I have children. 1625 01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:11,760 Speaker 1: They're crawling on the floor. They put everything in their mouth. 1626 01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:16,240 Speaker 1: It's an experiment. Hey kid, pull that out. He's going 1627 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:19,280 Speaker 1: to kill you. We're doing things to our children and 1628 01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:23,800 Speaker 1: to our society which is going to kill it. If 1629 01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,000 Speaker 1: you want to maintain your freedom and your well being, 1630 01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:29,479 Speaker 1: we're going to have to let the times shape how 1631 01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:33,160 Speaker 1: we function together. I'm not looking anymore for it, but 1632 01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:37,240 Speaker 1: I did say, up until the primary, it's bare knuckles 1633 01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:40,680 Speaker 1: because I want my candidates to prevail. But when we 1634 01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:44,040 Speaker 1: get out there and it's go time, you know, there's 1635 01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:47,479 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people that don't vote. We have 1636 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:50,479 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people that don't vote straight our ticket. 1637 01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:53,880 Speaker 1: We got the evidence from twenty four don't we right here? 1638 01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:56,280 Speaker 1: So I'm going to say this in closing because thank 1639 01:36:56,320 --> 01:37:02,240 Speaker 1: you for coming in. I'm not saying everybody would say this, 1640 01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:06,479 Speaker 1: but for myself personally, I'm I'm I'm hurt that Royce 1641 01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:08,559 Speaker 1: White got two hundred and fifty thousand less votes than 1642 01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:10,759 Speaker 1: Donald Trump did, which meant two hundred and fifty thousand 1643 01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:15,280 Speaker 1: people that voted for Republican president for some reason thought 1644 01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:20,200 Speaker 1: Royce was not a good candidate for Senate. That's not unity. 1645 01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:24,400 Speaker 1: So I'm going to say that from my perspective my chair, 1646 01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:31,479 Speaker 1: that disunity is not coming from people like me. Something 1647 01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:34,519 Speaker 1: to think about, because if we're going to unify, where 1648 01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:37,840 Speaker 1: we unify, how we unify? Is that new center of 1649 01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:41,759 Speaker 1: gravity that you're talking about. We need a new center 1650 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:47,040 Speaker 1: of power of gravity which incorporates more people like the 1651 01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:50,439 Speaker 1: Christians that don't vote. Why don't they vote? How are 1652 01:37:50,439 --> 01:37:53,240 Speaker 1: we getting sold to that end? We've started a Christian 1653 01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:57,120 Speaker 1: outreach here at Free People Radio. We got all the 1654 01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:59,559 Speaker 1: people in the cities. God, if we could get fifteen 1655 01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:03,160 Speaker 1: percent of the urban voters to vote with the Republicans 1656 01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:06,880 Speaker 1: we want. Didn't we win if that happened? Yes? 1657 01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:10,040 Speaker 2: But so in order to affect everything that you're talking about, 1658 01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:13,599 Speaker 2: everything from you know, if you want to call them 1659 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,559 Speaker 2: the let's call them the country club Republicans, right, that's 1660 01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:19,080 Speaker 2: that two hundred and fifty thousand you're talking about, or 1661 01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:25,360 Speaker 2: the urban core or independence or same Democrats who need 1662 01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:27,639 Speaker 2: to be rescued from the current status of their party. 1663 01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:37,599 Speaker 2: You have to have a value proposition. And the crazy 1664 01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:41,560 Speaker 2: idea that I'm operating under is, I think the value proposition, 1665 01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:46,559 Speaker 2: and again I learned this from watching Trump. The value 1666 01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:53,320 Speaker 2: proposition is to take the established political narratives, ball them up, 1667 01:38:53,360 --> 01:38:57,880 Speaker 2: and throw them in the trash. So, you know, issues 1668 01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:02,360 Speaker 2: like abortion, immigration, what's another one that comes to mind. 1669 01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:09,200 Speaker 2: But you have these certain issues that everybody has their scripts. 1670 01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:13,280 Speaker 2: The Republicans have their script, the Democrats have their script. 1671 01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:18,200 Speaker 2: It's very well worn. Everybody has the lines memorized, and 1672 01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:20,160 Speaker 2: they know how to fundraise off of it and they 1673 01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:23,360 Speaker 2: know how to campaign on it. Gun control that's another one. 1674 01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:27,760 Speaker 2: And so what that does I mean we were talking 1675 01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:30,360 Speaker 2: about Rubio earlier, and you know this immigrant We've been 1676 01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:33,000 Speaker 2: talking about amnesty and immigration for years and years and years, 1677 01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:36,439 Speaker 2: the problem never seems to get solved, comprehensive immigration reform, 1678 01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:42,519 Speaker 2: which never happens. I believe it that we don't. I 1679 01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:47,680 Speaker 2: believe both sides intentionally refuse to solve problems so that 1680 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,080 Speaker 2: they can continue to read off those scripts. 1681 01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:54,800 Speaker 1: Raise money off of them. Yes, yes, the industry of politics. Yes. 1682 01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:59,880 Speaker 2: And so my crazy idea is, what if we did 1683 01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:03,280 Speaker 2: Steve Jobs on this thing. What if instead of looking 1684 01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:05,680 Speaker 2: at the market, which is those scripts, and say what 1685 01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:07,640 Speaker 2: do the people want? Well, the people want me to 1686 01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:10,679 Speaker 2: talk tough about guns. The people want me to talk 1687 01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:15,280 Speaker 2: talk about gun control, like these two sides, instead of 1688 01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:18,679 Speaker 2: looking at the market and what it wants today, Steve 1689 01:40:18,760 --> 01:40:21,200 Speaker 2: Jobs says, I don't care what the people want. I'm 1690 01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:22,960 Speaker 2: going to give them something they don't know they want. 1691 01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to solve their problem. 1692 01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:30,920 Speaker 1: By redefining the whole conversation. That's exactly right. And so 1693 01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:35,840 Speaker 1: if you want to bring all these disparate groups together, 1694 01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:41,080 Speaker 1: whether it's within the party or outside, get independence, get 1695 01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:44,479 Speaker 1: soft Democrats, or saying democrats is probably a better way 1696 01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:44,800 Speaker 1: to put it. 1697 01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,720 Speaker 2: We got to Steve Jobs this thing. We got to 1698 01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:53,920 Speaker 2: come up with policy proposals that shatter the paradigm. We 1699 01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:56,439 Speaker 2: have to take those scripts, put them in the shredder, 1700 01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:59,720 Speaker 2: and start talking about things entirely differently, you. 1701 01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,720 Speaker 1: Know, had Richard Barrison, And we're going to have is 1702 01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:05,559 Speaker 1: it next week? Mark Mitchell's coming on from Rasmussen. Yes, 1703 01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, I'm getting these posters on because they actually 1704 01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:11,120 Speaker 1: have data and I want to learn from them. And 1705 01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:15,320 Speaker 1: Barras said that there's four issues that pull great across 1706 01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:21,439 Speaker 1: the entire spectrum of American citizens. Medical freedom, economic freedom, 1707 01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:27,719 Speaker 1: religious freedom, and food freedom. Those four issues are unifying issues, 1708 01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:30,640 Speaker 1: and you know, I've been talking a lot about it. 1709 01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:32,600 Speaker 1: You know, I used to just say I'm practicing the 1710 01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:35,000 Speaker 1: politics of human well being because of course I know 1711 01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,160 Speaker 1: what that means for me. Everybody else looks at me goes, 1712 01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:39,080 Speaker 1: what the hell do you mean? Well, you know, the 1713 01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:42,760 Speaker 1: polling told me how to break that down, because what 1714 01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:45,400 Speaker 1: we want, all of us, I mean not all of us. 1715 01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:48,479 Speaker 1: That's a cognitive distortion, because obviously we got nihilists that 1716 01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:51,360 Speaker 1: want to kill themselves. Yeah, but what most of us 1717 01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:55,120 Speaker 1: want is a long life of health and well being 1718 01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:59,920 Speaker 1: and economic freedom. That's what that's what we have want 1719 01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:04,920 Speaker 1: on it traditionally for thousands of years, and that's the 1720 01:42:05,040 --> 01:42:10,800 Speaker 1: script in any policy. Anything that's going that doesn't feed 1721 01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:13,479 Speaker 1: into that. Hey wait a second, that's a whole new 1722 01:42:13,600 --> 01:42:16,920 Speaker 1: set of issues, isn't it any old Walter. It was 1723 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:18,760 Speaker 1: just great to have you, and we always have these 1724 01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:22,320 Speaker 1: great I mean, our conversations are I hope you agree 1725 01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:24,720 Speaker 1: with me. I think our conversations are good. There's a 1726 01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:27,320 Speaker 1: reason I keep coming back. It's fun, isn't it.

I don't press on Walter because as he eluded, 1729 01:42:34,840 --> 01:42:36,680 Speaker 1: you know, there's some price for him to pay for 1730 01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:39,160 Speaker 1: coming on here. But why look at it. I mean, 1731 01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,439 Speaker 1: come on, I'm just a nice guy. I want to 1732 01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:44,200 Speaker 1: get along with everybody.

We all need 1734 01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:49,680 Speaker 1: to have a new center of gravity, and we need 1735 01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:52,360 Speaker 1: new media. And I'm trying to move free people in 1736 01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:55,160 Speaker 1: the direction where all are free to come.
