It is a 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 2: big idea a new world order. 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: Well, I know they're lying. They tricked me once, but 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: they're not going to trick me twice the time. 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: Is now. 8 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 3: A right?

We've been trying to get you'll get 11 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 3: you down here to sit with us, and we've been 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 3: following you for the past five years, since twenty twenty 13 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 3: from the American Voices series that which has now become 14 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 3: sort of a series or a launchitudinal wider documentary. And 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 3: I want to ask my first question is you know 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 3: the last time our team sat down with you in 17 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four year running on the Republican nominee ticket 18 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 3: for US Senate. Where were you on election night? And 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 3: what was that like? 20 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: I mean, it's one of the most important elections in 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 2: the history of our nation, and not because of my 22 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: race and now it was only important in my life personally, 23 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: but just more so for the for the nation, the 24 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 2: presidential election. And I had a election watch party you 25 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: call right, Yeah, we had a watch party and. 26 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: We're at home or where were you? 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: Yeah? 28 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 3: Where was. 29 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: I was at a hotel at a hotel, and you know, 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: it was what you would expect it to be. You know, 31 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: just people who worked on the campaign, people are close 32 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: to me, some family members and whatnot. And we sat 33 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: there and watched the votes get talied like everybody else. 34 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 2: Presidential election obviously rolled into the Knights and what but 35 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: the numbers were looking good early on. You know, my 36 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: race is I think a microcosm of the rest of 37 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: the country. In many respects, our elections just aren't secure. Uh, 38 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: And that's that's the reality of of how we how 39 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: we live in this country right now. 40 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: M I guess maybe backing up and then forgive me 41 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: for and you go ahead. Would you are you saying 42 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: that your your race was compromised or. 43 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: I think I think America's elections in general are compromised. 44 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 3: I guess it begs the question, like, but do you 45 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: think Trump won? Like? I think, does that make sense? 46 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 2: I'm trying to I think president Trump won the narrative. 47 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: I think President Trump won the American cultural narrative. And 48 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: because he won the narrative, cheating that may or may 49 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: have not happened in the previous election twenty twenty was 50 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: probably not president in twenty twenty four. That's what I think. 51 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 2: I think, I think, I think President Trump. I think 52 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: the disaffection, disaffection with Joe Biden's administration, Joe Biden's approval, 53 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's cognitive decline, some of the lies that were 54 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: told while Joe Biden was president, and then in a 55 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: true sort of undemocratic fashion, putting Kamala Harris up without 56 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: a real election as the candidate, the Democrat nominee was 57 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: a perfect storm where President Trump was able to capitalize 58 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: and talk about things that maybe otherwise the country wasn't 59 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: willing to hear, or whatever marginal percentage necessary, you know, 60 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: as they say in the middle to swing an election 61 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: from one side of the other. So he you know, 62 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: he again he won. Then that's something different than the 63 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: tally of the votes. 64 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: Let's focus a little bit about your election for example, Well, 65 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 3: can we get back up to like your campaign though. 66 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: But but I want to say this, for example, President 67 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: Trump in the in the MAGA movement or the nationalist 68 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: populist movement, the populist movement that's on the rise all 69 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 2: around the world is irrefutable. The momentum of populism I 70 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: think is a foregone conclusion. The question is what type 71 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: of populism will we have in this country and more 72 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: so all around the world. Will it be nationalist populism 73 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: or socialist populism. We see that battle right now for 74 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: power of the two political parties. There's a nationalist populist 75 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: movement that is obviously taking a hold of the Republican Party, 76 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: and there's a socialist populist movement that's currently trying to 77 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: take hold of the Democratic Party. So you know, President 78 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: Trump was able to win a narrative where just the 79 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: right coalition of people and the right disaffection with the 80 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: previous administration allowed him to have momentum that they could 81 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: see rolling into election day. And if I'm them, I'm saying, 82 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 2: what are our two options? Do we cheat with the 83 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: entire world watching and lose our credibility, lose the credibility 84 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: of the institutions forever, or do we allow him to win, 85 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: allow things to take the natural course and weigh him out. 86 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: And I do believe that people who have tradic the 87 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 2: international power brokers and let's say special interests and lobbies 88 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: that have had the power to interfere in elections previously 89 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 2: made an educated risk benefit analysis of the situation and 90 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: and made a decision that it's much more strategic to 91 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: let President Trump win naturally and try and slow down 92 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: his second term and his agenda by institutional means, rather 93 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: than cheating in the election. Okay, So they let him 94 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: win to wait him out because at the end of 95 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: the day, he only had four years left and what 96 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: could he what could he really do with four years 97 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 2: if the United States Senate and Congress, even under a 98 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 2: Republican majority, are still beholding to the same special interests 99 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 2: and lobby money, very limited in what he could do. 100 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: And they knew that. 101 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 3: I hear that. But let's let's let's back up to 102 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: my election. Okay, Well, let's election easy one to holdld on. 103 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 3: Let's back let's back in this. Twenty four Yes, that's yeah, 104 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 3: twenty five is the easy one to cheat, just just 105 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: for the sake of like sort of addressing what you 106 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 3: just said. I think at the end of the day 107 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 3: won the presidential election, whereas you were unable to win 108 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: your the Republican You were the Republican four senates but 109 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: on paper, So what was it like that night to 110 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 3: see the numbers come through and how did you. 111 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: Reassure please expect? Well, I flipped twenty nine counties and 112 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: I got the second most votes in the history of 113 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: the United States Senate, only second to And I got 114 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: the second most votes in the history of the Minnesota 115 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: Republican Party for United States Senate candidate, second to Jason Lewis, 116 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: former Congressman Jason Lewis of Congressional District two, who I 117 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: think got one point five million votes when he ran last. 118 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: So, I guess what were you feeling on that night, 119 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 3: like like in the lead up, because I remember when 120 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: we interviewed, when you interviewed you, you were very rare 121 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 3: to go, and I wished the interviewed on that night. 122 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: But the number were reassuring. The numbers were reassuring because 123 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: what it said is, look, the establishment that Amy Clobshah 124 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 2: represents is deeply entrenched on both sides of the isle. 125 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: And the fact that I was able to win an 126 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: endorsement at a statewide convention for the Republican Party and 127 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: that I was able to win a statewide primary and 128 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 2: become the nominee was the victory was to hold the 129 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: right side of the isle in Minnesota Republican politics, and 130 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: the fact that the establishment saw it fit to what 131 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: I would say, manufacture influence the results of the election 132 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: and still have me be the second most votes in 133 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: the history of the Minnesota Republican Party says a lot 134 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 2: about how much work I did on the narrative. 135 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 3: Good question, have you reported fraud for your election? Like? 136 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 2: No, I mean, who would mean? 137 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 3: I'm just wondering if. 138 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: At the end of the day. After President Trump in 139 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: twenty twenty brought a number of election fraud claims to 140 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: a number of courts across the country and was basically 141 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: turned down on the basis that technically, uh, voting machine 142 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: technology is proprietary technology, and the patent courts and the 143 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: copyright courts are protecting the voting machines from having real 144 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: forensic auditing. And that's why when when people say that 145 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 2: twenty twenty election fraud claims were brought to the courts 146 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: and denied, it wasn't actually denied because it was never 147 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: truly investigated. It wasn't looked into. The judges had an 148 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: obligation legally based on proprietary and patent law, not they 149 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 2: technically or legally couldn't look into the technology inside the 150 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: machines and So, I mean, the entire narrative from the 151 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: mainstream media about twenty twenty is completely negligible. It's radical 152 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: misinformation and they all know it. Okay, your age, your average, 153 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 2: this is the I said this before, and I continue 154 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: to say it. There's a reason why Amy Clobashar in 155 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen went before a United States Senatorial committee and demonstrated, 156 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: she actually demonstrated that the machines could be hacked. Kamala 157 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: Harris was a part of that same demonstration, that same 158 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 2: US Senate panel or demonstration. So the fact that my 159 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: opponent in twenty twenty four and President Trump's opponent in 160 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four had both previously been on the record 161 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: saying that the machines can in fact be hacked tells 162 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: us that the security of our elections shouldn't even be 163 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: up for debate. The question is how much cheating is there. 164 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: The next question is how do we find the cheating. 165 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 2: It's just like Edward Snowden said, the way that they 166 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 2: have the system set up is you have to do 167 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: something illegal in order to find the evidence. You need 168 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: to prove the corruption. And as far as elections go, 169 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: it's a matter of fact it's not an opinion, it's 170 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: not conjecture, it's not a conspiracy theory. It's a matter 171 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: of fact that your average slot machine at a local 172 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: casino has a better chain of custody than your average 173 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 2: voter machine. 174 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 3: I guess for myself, I don't know that I know 175 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 3: enough about the technology to be able to quote that, 176 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: other than to say that I'm kind of rolling with 177 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: you running again. Basically you ran in twenty twenty four, 178 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: which I want to underscore a highlight. It's really exciting. 179 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 3: I mean I remember being I forget which building it 180 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: was filming you plan black forth that march, and just 181 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 3: the idea of you, I wouldn't have been able to 182 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: predict that you would get the Republican nomination for US 183 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 3: Senate in twenty twenty four. So I mean that's I 184 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: would agree with you, and that how exciting to be 185 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 3: to have that role in twenty twenty four. 186 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: It's not exciting, it's daunting. It's terrible. 187 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 3: Can it be both though? Right? 188 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 2: No, can't be both. 189 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 3: Can't be exciting? 190 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 2: And our nation is the freedom of this country, in 191 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: the future of this country rests upon the edge of 192 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 2: a blade. 193 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: Well, why did you run that I mean, what was 194 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 3: the point. 195 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: Because it's necessary, Okay, because it needed to be done, 196 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 2: because somebody has to do it. Somebody has to stand 197 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 2: up and speak the truth. 198 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 3: Why does it have to be you? 199 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 2: Because I'm uniquely positioned to do it. One I know 200 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 2: the issues, but two, I represent the exact identity used 201 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: to break the freedom of this country, that is being 202 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: a black man. Yeah. The identity of the black man 203 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: has been strategically used to undermine the very fabric of 204 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: this nation. So I'm uniquely positioned as somebody young, willing, 205 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: courageous enough, and and well versed enough on the policies 206 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: and the issues like election integrity for example, uh, to 207 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: to step up and speak the truth. 208 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: We can. 209 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 2: I want to loop back to that, actually, yeah, but 210 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 2: for now, I want to propose to the Black Fourth truly. Yeah, 211 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 2: and yeah, I was uniquely positioned to do that as well. 212 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 3: Yeah with TYO and yes. 213 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: Very uniquely positioned to do that. Okay. 214 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 3: So we are at the end of Trump's first year 215 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 3: of his second term. 216 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: Remember that, Remember those T shirts from the Black Fourth 217 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: with Frederick Douglas's face on it. Yeah, that was interesting. 218 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: How that how symbolically that that that would roll into 219 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Frederick Douglas was not a Democrat, by 220 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: the way. 221 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yes. 222 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: Actually, actually I believe the first twenty three, the first 223 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,359 Speaker 2: twenty three black members of Congress were Republicans. 224 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: But the thing that everyone remembers, because I was actually 225 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 3: talking with my team but also just in general about 226 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 3: what we were filming, were the chains on the ground. 227 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 2: Oh beautiful, I mean, just the power of the march. Yes, silent. 228 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: Remember how the whole city was burning down, and by 229 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: some stretch of the imagination, a handful of a handful 230 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: of black men were able to bring together not only 231 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: a peaceful protest, but a silent one. And it was silent. 232 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: You were there the whole time. Was it went off 233 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 2: silent without a hitch. 234 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 3: The sparklers were going off, yes, smoke. 235 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 2: What does it say? And I say this to some 236 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: of my Republican colleagues or commentators, I say, where were 237 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: you all in twenty twenty. 238 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: What do they say? 239 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 2: What can they say? 240 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 3: What did they say? 241 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: They don't say anything. They sit there and they sit 242 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 2: there and shock. Because the elephant in the room has 243 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: been has been The curtain has been pulled from the 244 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: elephant in the room. They were afraid. In twenty twenty, 245 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: Republicans and conservatives all across this country were uh bullied 246 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: into their homes by government policy and COVID, and they 247 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: were also bullied into their homes by the Black Lives 248 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: Matter protests. They were they were, they were unwilling to 249 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: speak the truth because of the cultural narrative. They had 250 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: already conceded defeat too. 251 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 3: I do want to talk about the Republicans, for sure, 252 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 3: but I do want to talk about Trump's first year 253 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 3: of the second term. Where has he done a good 254 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 3: job Trump? And where do you think he. 255 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: Could have done better? Well, he closed the border. That 256 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: was great, I mean that was of of that was sorry. 257 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 3: I just reviewed part part of my uh all over 258 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: the place. I just reviewed the last interview you did 259 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 3: with Arthur and he did something that I forget I 260 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 3: should do. 261 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 2: I got, oh, you want me to say what? 262 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: It's even that, it's more just we're not going to 263 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 3: probably include my voice in this, and I forget that 264 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 3: in our conversations. 265 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 2: So in President Trump's first. 266 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 3: Term exactly like it's it's the ice cream question, like 267 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 3: what flavor ice cream? Did you have? My favorite flavor 268 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 3: ice cream is yeah, so so let's just I'll try 269 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 3: to remind myself and Mark please hold me account. I'm 270 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: sorry about that. 271 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: So what do I think about what President Trump has 272 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: done so far in this first term or in the 273 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 2: first year of a second term. Closing the border was 274 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 2: essential and he and he successfully did that. If you 275 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: don't have a border, you don't have a country. China 276 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: has a border, Israel has a border, Canada has a border. 277 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 2: A lot of European countries have borders, although they're having 278 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 2: problems with them. But I can just cross over into 279 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia and live there and ask the Saudi government 280 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 2: to fund me living there through government subsidies. Although they 281 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 2: do have some pretty nifty programs there in the and 282 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: the and the UA B and some of these places. 283 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: But you have to have a border. If you don't 284 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: have a border, you don't have a country. President Trump 285 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: did that. I think that's the most significant and what 286 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: the most necessary thing that needed to happen. 287 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's still immigration that continues to happen. 288 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 3: There's still tourism, etc. Tourism immigration, but not unfettered, unfettered, 289 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 3: unlimited illegal immigration. Yeah, more about his first term that 290 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 3: you either agree with that you felt very passionate about 291 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 3: what he's been doing, but also what do you think 292 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 3: he could have done better on? 293 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 2: I like hemispheric strategy, is hemispheric strategy, hemispheric strategy, hemispheric defense. 294 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: I think if you go all the way back to 295 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: some of the foundations of the prevailing Western philosophy political philosophy, 296 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: you take an example like Holford John Mackinder's Wrhode Island theory, 297 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 2: the Mackinder Land theory, which essentially said that he who 298 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 2: controls Eastern Europe controls the heartland. He who controls the 299 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 2: heartland controls the natural resources of the Eurasian world island. Uh. 300 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 2: This is this has been the prevailing political philosophy, geopolitical 301 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: philosophy of the entire Western world. 302 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 3: By part of my black knowledge. You're more knowledgeable about 303 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 3: this than me. But I guess where does Trump fit 304 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 3: in his first term of this? 305 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you, yeah, 306 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 2: they tell you yeah. The prevailing and this is what 307 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: I mean by people don't interview me because they don't 308 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 2: want to hear what it really is. I don't mind, Okay, 309 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: the prevailing geopolitical I don't give a shit about you know, 310 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 2: the cookie the cookie cutter questions. I'm going to tell 311 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 2: you exactly what's going on in the world, because that's 312 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 2: what the United States and and candidate should do. 313 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, buy al type of questions. 314 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 2: Yes, but every question you ask, I'm going to tell 315 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: you the truth, as deep as and as as far 316 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: as we have to go in order to tell you. 317 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: The prevailing geopolitical philosophy of Western society has been the 318 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: post World War two Democrat liberal order. It was informed 319 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: by the British Empire's academic idea by John Halford Mackinder 320 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 2: that warfare was going to change in the near future, 321 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 2: that it was going to modernize technology, and it would 322 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 2: be important for the British Empire to change their military 323 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 2: and business model because you need to be able to 324 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 2: get to the resources. You need to be able to 325 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 2: walk to the resources that you need. And what Halford 326 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 2: John Mackinder was telling the British Empire and this academic 327 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 2: treatise that he wrote, this academic paper, is warfare is 328 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: about to change. And you're an island and you're a 329 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: naval power, you have problems. You have to get control 330 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: of the entire European continent and even more importantly, the 331 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 2: entire European Eurasian World Island. All of the fifty percent 332 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 2: of the world's natural resources in the Eastern Hemisphere is 333 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 2: what the British Empire has to try and get control over. 334 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 2: Which starts in Ukraine, which starts in Eastern Europe, which 335 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: is called the heartland, the bread basket of Europe. Hugh 336 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 2: controls Eastern Europe, controls the Eurasian World Island. This was 337 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: their theory. And there were three forces, three opposing forces, 338 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:15,959 Speaker 2: three theoretical forces that Mackinder warned would be a threat 339 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 2: to Great Britain's dominance over the World Island. A Sino 340 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 2: Russo alliance, a Russo German alliance, and a totalitarian German 341 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: war machine. All three of them would play out over 342 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 2: the next two World Wars. All three of those alliances 343 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: would become Great Britain's foreign policy. I say it for 344 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: a reason. Britain's foreign policy after World War II became 345 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 2: America's foreign policy, and we have defended that foreign policy 346 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 2: ever since. So when President Trump says that we're going 347 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: to move to a hemispheric defense or a hemispheric strategy, 348 00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 2: it is probably the most significant turn away from the 349 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 2: prevailing geopolitical status quo and corruption ever seen in my lifetime? 350 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: Are you in favor of said strategy? 351 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: Of course? One thousand percent. One thousand percent. 352 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 3: Begs the question to me. Are you in your campaign 353 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 3: are you looking for Trump's endorsement? 354 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 2: No? 355 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: Sorry, could you put that into a sentence. 356 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 2: No, I'm not looking for Trump's endorsement in my campaign. 357 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: It'd be great, but I'm not. I mean, it doesn't 358 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 2: matter one way or another. I would accept his endorsement, Okay, Yeah, 359 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 2: I like that was I would. I would like his endorsement. 360 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 2: But I ran a race already and he didn't endorse me. 361 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 2: And what did I want anyway? Yeah, I mean I 362 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 2: want I want an endorsement in Minnesota state wide, and 363 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 2: I want a state wide primary without his endorsement. Now, 364 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 2: I think his endorsement would have helped, It would have 365 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 2: made it even easier. But you know, I just tell 366 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 2: the truth. I don't really need a co signature, I 367 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 2: hear you. Yeah, I guess. 368 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 3: I'm wondering just because this is your second time running. Yeah, Like, 369 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 3: what is your strategy now for this election as opposed 370 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 3: a last election? 371 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: Start earlier? Tell the truth. 372 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: How do you do that? 373 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 2: Well, we started earlier, as soon as the last election 374 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: was over, we announced a run for reelection in twenty 375 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 2: twenty six for Tina's seat. Now Tina's resigned, she's not 376 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 2: going to run for reelection, and we have two very 377 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: vulnerable candidates who seem to be the front runners for 378 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 2: the Democrat nominee, Angie Craig, who, for some strange reason 379 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: many in her own Democrat, her own Democrat party feels 380 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 2: she's more of a Republican almost. It's almost laughable to 381 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 2: us as me as a Maggie candidate, I'm like, Angie Craig, Republican. 382 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 2: That's the very establishment that we're trying to break. I mean, 383 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: I'd rather give me the give me the socialist populace. 384 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 2: Let me know where you really stand. These lukewarm sort 385 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: of centrist establishment politicians on both sides of the aisle 386 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 2: are the people who crippled this country. Uh so. And 387 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 2: now my fundamental difference with the other candidate, which would 388 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 2: be current Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, I mean, there's just 389 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 2: no defense of the transgender kid ideology, trans children ideology. 390 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, where does that size end? 391 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 2: It? Oh, because Peggy Flanagan is the you know, the 392 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: lieutenant governor of Minnesota, and she is infamous for wearing 393 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 2: a T shirt that said protect trans kids with a 394 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 2: blade on it, with a knife. So it's implying that 395 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 2: you you should protect trans kids, even if it's by 396 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 2: violent means. 397 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 3: I have to look at that image. That's that's intense. 398 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: That's a very intense image. Yeah, all right, very strange 399 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 2: for very strange for the Democrat Party, and the Democrat 400 00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 2: State House actually endorsed Peggy Flanagan already, uh to be 401 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 2: the candidate. Very strange for a Democrat. 402 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 3: Like a straight up endorsement. 403 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, they endorsed it. The majority of them individually endorsed her, 404 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,959 Speaker 2: but that hasn't happened yet since was This was an 405 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 2: individual endorsement from individual State House Democrats. But it is 406 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 2: very strange for them to double down on the trans 407 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 2: on the trans platform, the trans kids platform, in the 408 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 2: wake of young Catholic school children being shot at Annunciation 409 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 2: in Minneapolis by a transgender shooter. Yeah, that's a strange 410 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: political strategy, pretty brazen. If you ask me, you're. 411 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 3: Quite passionate about the transgender issue. I assume as well. 412 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 2: Too. 413 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 3: I don't. 414 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I'm so passionate about it, just as 415 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: you know, pretty pretty matter of fact about it being 416 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 2: right or wrong. And I don't even know what's scary is. 417 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people in America A aren't 418 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 2: really aware of of what's going on in that realm 419 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 2: of things, and when they are, and when you ask them, 420 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: people pretty much unanimously agree on the right and wrong 421 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 2: of it. The problem is, I think people ignore how 422 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 2: big a part of the Democrat platform it really is 423 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: and has been recently for their own other political agendas 424 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 2: individual you know, as individual citizens, like for example, the 425 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 2: trans kids issue has been a firm piece of the 426 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: Democrat Party's platform since Barack Obama, you know, really but 427 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 2: really kicked up a notch in twenty sixteen on. And 428 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 2: you know, I just don't know how any mother, single mother, 429 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 2: single black mother, can still vote Democrat when their political 430 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: leaders are advocating that schools can transition their children without 431 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 2: informing the parent without consent. Is that the yeah? 432 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: Policy? Oh for sure, I'll have to look that up. 433 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: For sure, that's for sure the policy. 434 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, not going down that road as much, just 435 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 3: because I do want to sort of like talk a 436 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 3: little bit more about your campaign, but also I'm curious 437 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 3: more about the public. 438 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 2: That's interesting though. You just had a you just had 439 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 2: a new born baby yourself. Yes, how do you how 440 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: do you feel about that? I mean, how just in general? 441 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: What do you think about kidding your kid to grade 442 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: school and some first or second grade teacher who has 443 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: a political philosophy about gender or gender, gender pronouns or 444 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 2: whatever the case may be from their university or wherever 445 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 2: they learned it their political activism, and they teach your 446 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: child that at the school during the day without your consent. 447 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, I haven't thought about it. He is 448 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 3: like twelve weeks old. 449 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 2: Right now coming. 450 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 3: But now that you plant to see off to think 451 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 3: about that, because. 452 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 2: I'll tell you, as a father of four four teenagers 453 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 2: what he knows four yeah, fourteenagers, fifteen, fourteen, twelve, and eleven. 454 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 2: As a father of four, I wouldn't say it's the 455 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: issue are most passionate about politically, but it is the 456 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 2: most obvious uh or let's say, clear line in the 457 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: sand about the rights of parents, UH and and the 458 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 2: UH the right for parents to have informed consent about 459 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 2: what's going on with their children at the school, what 460 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 2: they're being taught, but certainly what they're being encouraged to 461 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 2: do or not do medically by the school. I mean, frankly, 462 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 2: any puberty blockers, you know, you know, even even the 463 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: way that children are dressing, and and sort of a 464 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 2: blurb between you could call mental health services at the school, 465 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 2: a conflation between mental health services and gender ideology. These 466 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: are these should be deeply concerning because it involves our 467 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 2: nation's children. So by way of it's our nation's future. 468 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 2: And you look at the numbers and you see that 469 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: in the in the advent of this TikTok instagram, real 470 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 2: society and all of the transgender ideology that's been pushed there. 471 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 2: The self identification in gen Z is that what gen z? 472 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 3: I think? 473 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 2: So the self identification of non binary and gen Z 474 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: has increased tenfold, twentyfold, not a natural increase by any 475 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 2: standard of scientific metrics, of any social measurements in history. 476 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 2: It's one of the most explosive ideologies that we've seen 477 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: in the last two hundred years in this country. Not natural, 478 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 2: organic at all. 479 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 3: I have one question about Trump real quick, because it's 480 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 3: kind of off for a second, would you support the 481 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 3: president if he pursued a third term? 482 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: Trump twenty twenty eight sounds good to me. Yeah, I 483 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 2: like it. 484 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 3: What about the twenty second Amendment? 485 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: There are ways around it, that's for sure. So I mean, 486 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 2: I mean that there are ways around it. There are 487 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: legal bases for him to be able to run for 488 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 2: a third term. One he definitely could run his vice president, 489 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 2: and that that's always been floated as an idea for 490 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 2: presidents who have great approval ratings. They floated it with Reagan, 491 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 2: they floated it with Clinton, So you can you can't 492 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 2: run his vice president, and that's completely constitutionally legal. 493 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 3: Okay, well, I hear you. But you know, I would argue, 494 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 3: like how that's a that's a controversial view, because it's 495 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 3: controversial times truly. But I imagine, I mean that that's causing 496 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 3: a lot of stirn concern and fear around why because 497 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 3: the president is not as clear to have a third 498 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 3: term in this modern time and. 499 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: Oh really as president the president for who? For Western 500 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 2: society or for America or who in the United States. 501 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: Because it's funny because Zelensky won't even hold a presidential 502 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 2: election in Ukraine. 503 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 3: Well, we're talking about the US. 504 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 2: Oh, so just the US. We're that's interesting though, that 505 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,959 Speaker 2: the standard is just for the US because we have 506 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 2: a global dollar empire. Hold on, wait a second. We 507 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 2: have a global dollar empire in which we pretend we 508 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 2: should be the arbiter and the standard bearer for how 509 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 2: everybody else runs their country all over the world. So 510 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 2: it's funny to then go, oh, but we're just talking 511 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: about America. 512 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 3: Are we really well here? 513 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 2: I don't think we are. Well. 514 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 3: Here's what I'm saying because here. 515 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 2: In China, President G's now president for life. 516 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 3: Hold on for a second. I'm talking about your voters. 517 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 2: So in other words, oh, my voter should be deeply concerned. 518 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 2: My voter should be deeply concerned about what the universal 519 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 2: standard is for politics from here to Beijing, because America 520 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 2: is deeply involved in the politics from here to Beijing, 521 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 2: intimately involved in the politics from here to Beijing. And 522 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 2: I do think it's a Baden switch or a sort 523 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 2: of three card MONTI to hold America to one standard 524 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 2: in this sort of abstract a vacuum. And then go, oh, 525 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 2: but in China, President G could be president for life, 526 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 2: and that's their choice to make, is it? Because we 527 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 2: fund it. So, because here's the thing. If we are 528 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 2: diametrically opposed to the idea that a president should have 529 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 2: anything more than two terms, then we should decouple from 530 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 2: China in all business. If we're going to say on 531 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 2: a principal basis that China's formation of government and their 532 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 2: support of President g being president for more than he 533 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 2: was supposed to be for life, president for life, emperor 534 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 2: for life. If that's the case, then we should try 535 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 2: and decouple from them and all supply chains and international 536 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 2: partnership or business. But we don't want to do that. 537 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 2: So in that sense, a lot of people have political opinions, 538 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 2: but they never want to put their money where their 539 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 2: mouth is. So I guess that's my problem with it. 540 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 3: So I guess what do you say to the voting populations, 541 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: the voter, your voters who are concerned about it. 542 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 2: I would say, we are in an asymmetrical war with 543 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 2: the CCP. We are in an asymmetrical war with China. 544 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 2: It's already begun. It's World War three, and it's it's 545 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 2: it's cyber, it's informational, it's cultural, it's chemical, it's it's 546 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 2: it's kinetic. 547 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 3: And so are you saying that you are encouraging Trump 548 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 3: to go for a third term. 549 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 2: Because where a war, where a war with China? Is 550 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 2: that absolutely okay, absolutely yeah, we are. We are anybody 551 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 2: who anybody who, first of all, anybody who pretends like 552 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 2: we're not at war with China is not being even 553 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 2: remotely honest. The war is right out in the open. 554 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 2: The war has been declared. It's not a matter of 555 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 2: it's a there's a trade war, there's a trade and 556 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 2: economic war. There's an arms race for artificial intelligence supremacy. 557 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 2: There's a connect which has the undertones of a KINNECTICU 558 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 2: and nuclear war. That's why we are playing chicken with 559 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: each other's battleships out in the South China Sea. So 560 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 2: the pretense for war. We're already further along the track 561 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 2: and the kinetic part of the Third World War than 562 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 2: we were in the precursor the World War two. 563 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: Here comes winter. In winter, good tires aren't a luxury, 564 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: They're a necessity for safety. At tireget dot com, get 565 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: in your winter tires is quick, easy and priced Right 566 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: with tireget dot com, your order online, install right by 567 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: your house, and stay safe on the road this winter season. 568 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 3: At the same time the Trump and she are talking 569 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 3: like they are in conversation. They've passating. So it's not 570 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 3: like it's an active. 571 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 2: Oh no, it's it's it's it's a it's a wink 572 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 2: and nt koy, a gentlemen's agreement that until the guns 573 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 2: really start shooting, we're gonna do everything we can to 574 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 2: avert the highest level of kinetic warfare. And that's what 575 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 2: good leaders should do. I mean, that's I don't even 576 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 2: want to say good leaders. I would say leaders who 577 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 2: are even remotely interested in their own self preservation would 578 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 2: do that. That doesn't make them, that doesn't make them 579 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 2: friends or allies or or that doesn't mean that we 580 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 2: have peace because they're talking. They're talking because it's their 581 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 2: duty to talk. It's there, it's there, you know, it's 582 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 2: their duty as the leader of their nations to have 583 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 2: some conversation with each other and trying to avert war. 584 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 2: And I do think they're trying to avert war. I 585 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 2: do think there are other forces who would like to 586 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 2: see us go to war. And I do think there 587 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 2: is a scenario where war may be inevitable because the 588 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 2: two cultures are diametrically opposed in our fundamental beliefs about 589 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 2: how government in a country should be constructed. Back to 590 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 2: the nationalists populist versus socialist populist dichotomy. 591 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 3: Uh, when I make a documentary about China and in 592 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 3: the US, let's let's let's return to these. Sure, I am, 593 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 3: But I want to go back to a point you 594 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 3: brought up earlier, and that is about Republicans. Yes, what 595 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 3: do you make of event of the events as of late, 596 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 3: divine the Republican Party. 597 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about Israel. 598 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 3: I mean this one of like many things like the 599 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:09,760 Speaker 3: Epstein Files. Marjorie Taylor Green, Israel. You keep saying Israel, 600 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 3: please please, Okay, yeah, you want out of Israel. 601 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 2: Well, I mean you said Epstein Israel, Marjorie Taylor Green Israel. 602 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 3: I mean the Epstein Files has become such a such 603 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 3: a it's. 604 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 2: An Israel issue. 605 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 3: So the release of the Epstein files, as it contains 606 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 3: to Trump and his involvement, yes, has to do with Israel. 607 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely in my opinion. 608 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay, Well, well let's set that aside for 609 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 3: a second. Okay, But there are disagreements within the Republican 610 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 3: Party as of lates, So how. 611 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 2: Healthy disagreements in the Republican Party. 612 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 3: With every party their disagreements fine. 613 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,240 Speaker 2: So necessary disagreements. For the first time in American history, 614 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 2: the Republican Party, that is, who is at least theoretically 615 00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 2: and philosophically charged with the to to stewart and be 616 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 2: the vanguard of American freedom or a republican form of government, 617 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 2: has been compromised and has been bought and paid for 618 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 2: by special interests in lobbies. The same special interests in 619 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 2: lobbies on the other side of the aisle for the 620 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 2: most part, same interest, same goal, same agenda, which is 621 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 2: a global empire, globalism, the undermining of national sovereignty in nationhood, 622 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 2: a borderless society, a society that's borderists either by unfettered, 623 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 2: unlimited illegal immigration or unrestricted free trade. Yeah, you know, 624 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 2: the Republican Party for the first time in American history, 625 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 2: or in the short twenty first century. 626 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 3: I mean, there're been divisions time, but in the in 627 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 3: the in. 628 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 2: The short twenty first century, the Republican Party is going 629 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 2: through a true tactonic shift. 630 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 3: Yes, where do you find yourself in these divisions? 631 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 2: Smack dab in the middle. 632 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:58,280 Speaker 3: Explain. 633 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm the guy who's pretty uh tries to 634 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 2: be the voice of reason and comes from a place 635 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 2: of historic, historical fact. As pragmatic as I can be. 636 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 2: And I don't say pragmatic to mean moderate or lukewarm 637 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 2: on the issue I call the balls and strikes. But 638 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 2: but I try and talk about things as they are, 639 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 2: not as I wish they were. 640 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 3: Can I make a point to say that Trump as 641 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 3: a third term is not commonly ir reasonable like agreed 642 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 3: upon reasonable, like No. 643 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 2: It's the most reasonable thing. It's And I say that 644 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 2: because the people, well, I am surprised. I mean, I 645 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 2: mean two things, two things. One the first is American 646 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 2: politics has become, you know, mostly theater, and so a 647 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 2: lot of the people who you would hear, whether they're 648 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 2: in the party or they or their political commentators on 649 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,879 Speaker 2: either side of the aisle, are more invested in the 650 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 2: theater of politics than they are the fundamental reality. Our 651 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 2: political reality, our political reality in this country is the 652 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,240 Speaker 2: future of this nation rests upon the edge of a blade. 653 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 2: And we are in the beginnings of a third World war. 654 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 2: And our national modlinemy is the Chinese Communist Party, and 655 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 2: if we if we in American se and the thing 656 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,919 Speaker 2: about China that I respect, and the thing about China 657 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 2: that I recognize to be true. It's not a matter 658 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 2: of preference, but a matter of historical fact. China is 659 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 2: a much older civilization than ours, and we have to 660 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 2: respect our enemies. We have to know our enemies and 661 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 2: respect our enemies. China is a much older civilization than ours. 662 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 2: They have gone through a number of civil wars, five 663 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 2: thousand years of civil wars, so they have they have 664 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 2: beaten and broken their own population into what now stands, 665 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 2: as you know, a citizenry that has been conditioned to 666 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 2: accept tyranny as long as there is a vital or 667 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 2: profitable quid pro quo. The people in China, although they 668 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 2: may not like tyranny or communism or totalitarianism, they will 669 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 2: accept it as long as President G can provide a 670 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,479 Speaker 2: material rise for the average citizen. And he's been able 671 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 2: to do that up until now. Now you know, the 672 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 2: question is to what lengths will President G go to? 673 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 2: And some of this may be kinetics, some of it 674 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 2: may just be old fashioned piracy. Some of it may 675 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 2: be what you would call neo colonialism. Our liberal friends 676 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 2: in the university would call Chinese China's current expansion all 677 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 2: over the world a second iteration of colonialism. There is 678 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 2: a proto China colonialism happening around the world. So the 679 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 2: point is he has in order to maintain power, and 680 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 2: in order for the CCP to maintain power, they have 681 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 2: to provide a material uh material high for the Chinese 682 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 2: people to avert revolution revolt. Because China has a revolting history. 683 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 2: They've been able to do that so far. My point 684 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 2: to America is they understand the agreement in China. The 685 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 2: people of China and the leadership of China understand the 686 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 2: game and the agreement. We don't have that here in America. 687 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 2: We are willing to accept tyranny and corruption here in America, 688 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 2: whether it benefits us or not. The American people have 689 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 2: yet to really step up to the plate and say, 690 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 2: as citizens, we demand a value for our citizenship that 691 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 2: requires our elected officials to act on our on our 692 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 2: interest on the world stage. You understand, because in China's 693 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 2: this is another reason why I. 694 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 3: Hear you angling for a foreign senate community. 695 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the whole deal. This is why China 696 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 2: is a great example. Because I'm going to tell you 697 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 2: this is why China is a great example of the 698 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 2: paradox in Western society, specifically America. There's a paradox here politically, 699 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 2: which is why we can't talk about the politics in 700 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 2: America singularly. We have to talk about them on the 701 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,880 Speaker 2: global states, because we're such a global political entity. China's 702 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 2: people have been the benefactors of the West's politicians selling them, 703 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 2: the Western people's politicians selling Western citizens out. The rise 704 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 2: of the CCP and the Chinese Empire is littered with 705 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:44,840 Speaker 2: Western receipts, Western money, western blood, Western treasure, Western intellectual property. 706 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 2: So our citizens do not have the same relationship to 707 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 2: their political leaders or their government as they do in China. 708 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,320 Speaker 2: China will hold G's feet to the fire and say, 709 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 2: we'll play nice. As long as the material wealth, the 710 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 2: overall or baseline material wealth of the average Chinese citizen 711 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 2: continues to rise. We'll take the the the you know, 712 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 2: the the unlimited surveillance, we'll take the censorship, we'll take 713 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 2: the you know, the the life president for life, We'll 714 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 2: take all of that as long as China continues to 715 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 2: come out of the Third World. It was when Henry 716 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 2: Kisching during Nixon went in in the seventies. America does 717 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 2: not have that sense of of of citizenship, nor that 718 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 2: sense of of say so, in our political relationship with 719 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 2: our government and our politicians not even close. And in 720 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 2: that way, we're losing a war before it even starts. 721 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 3: I want to highlight a how do I put it's 722 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,800 Speaker 3: a battle that were an argument you've been in recently. 723 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 3: H there's a town hall I got to see on 724 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 3: Facebook where they there was a Republican farm where they 725 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 3: shut off your Like, what was that all about? Do 726 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 3: you mind? I mean, because I am interested in your 727 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 3: voters and the Republican Party here as you're running for 728 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:10,439 Speaker 3: us sat. 729 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, well they shut off my mic because I went 730 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 2: over the time and that's pretty much the gist of it. 731 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 2: But they you know, there are a lot of people 732 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 2: in the room that didn't like what I was saying. 733 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 2: Pre tell why the Republican Party is the outer bashing 734 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 2: of the new World Order. The Republican Party aproposa what 735 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 2: we'll talk about in a moment when it comes to 736 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 2: Israel and Trump and Epstein and Marjor Taylor Green. The 737 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 2: Republican Party has been the quiet assassin of the rise 738 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 2: of a nationalist populist movement. Yeah, I mean, imagine you 739 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,280 Speaker 2: go back to twenty twelve and in some strange universe, 740 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 2: we nominated moderate milk toast Mitt Romney to run against 741 00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 2: the most progressive presidential candidate in the history of our nation, 742 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 2: instead of libertarian what would have then been called the 743 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 2: sort of tea party, Donald Trump Ron Paul. That might 744 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 2: be the greatest dark mark on the history of the 745 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 2: twenty first century Republican Party is that we nominated Mitt 746 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 2: Romney instead of Ron Paul. And I say that in 747 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:26,720 Speaker 2: this situation because even here in Minnesota, the Republican Party, 748 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 2: the apparatus, I call them the apparat checks, because I 749 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,799 Speaker 2: do think that the Republican side of the establishment is 750 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:39,879 Speaker 2: just as proto communist or socialists as the their democratic counterparts. 751 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 2: We could talk about that as a matter, We should 752 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,320 Speaker 2: talk about that. But I do think that the Republican Party, 753 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 2: even here in Minnesota, the establishment, the party apparatus, is 754 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 2: in firm opposition of the MAGA movement, the rise of populism, 755 00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 2: and the overall prosperity and well being and even freedom 756 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 2: of the American people. 757 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, if I were to recall the discussion through the 758 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 3: Republican form is despite you getting the nomination, you didn't 759 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 3: have the support of would you describe established from the 760 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 3: Republicans right. 761 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 2: Yes, which makes it even more significant that I won. Yeah, 762 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 2: the fact that I was able to win a statewide 763 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 2: primary on an extremist MAGA platform, with all of the 764 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 2: local mainstream media lined up against me, and our four 765 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 2: sitting Republican congress members who refuse to endorse me even 766 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 2: after I had won the Republican nomination. Why is that, 767 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 2: you think, because they're in on it, in on what 768 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 2: they're in on the scale. 769 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 3: Well, I guess have you talked to them about not like. 770 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 2: I don't need to talk to him. I know who 771 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 2: they are. They I know who they are, and they 772 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 2: know who I am. I know who Tom Emmer is. 773 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 2: I know where you got to start. I know who 774 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 2: Vin Weber is, Council Foreign Relations, born of trustees, Vin Weber, 775 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,839 Speaker 2: who gave Tom E. Maris's start. I know who these 776 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,800 Speaker 2: people are. I know what their what their play is, 777 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,359 Speaker 2: I know what their agenda is. I know what their 778 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 2: political worldview is. I know how they'll play like they 779 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,399 Speaker 2: believe in one thing for their own political expediency, when 780 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 2: really they don't. They'll tell a both faced lie, They'll 781 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,280 Speaker 2: lie right in your face about what they believe about 782 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 2: their platform. About what they'll do if they're elected again. 783 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 2: And even more so, I know their spirit said Carl 784 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,279 Speaker 2: June used to say. You know, he said, you can 785 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 2: look at the results and infer the motive. And I'm 786 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 2: not a huge fan of Carl June because I think 787 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 2: he was, shall I say, an atheist, but there are 788 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 2: some profound insights from the psychological uh, you know, juggernauts, 789 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 2: even if they lack faith and a higher power, you 790 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 2: can in a lot of a lot of times look 791 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 2: at the results of a thing and in for the motive, 792 00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 2: and well, look at where this country has gone over 793 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 2: the last thirty years. The Conservatives that had the House 794 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 2: in the Congress just as many times as the as 795 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 2: the Liberals, as the Democrats. The Republicans have held the 796 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 2: House in the Senate over the last thirty years just 797 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 2: as many times as the Democrats. Yeah, not by accident, 798 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 2: not by accident. And my point about Emmer and the 799 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,759 Speaker 2: other four congress members is what does it say to 800 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,720 Speaker 2: the rest of the Republican caucus that a young somewhat 801 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 2: a political me me that a young somewhat a political 802 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 2: Republican candidate with all the momentum in Minnesota comes from 803 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 2: the Inner Cities. Is the first black person to be 804 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 2: nominated by either major party to run for US Senate, 805 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 2: first black person to be endorsed, and up against one 806 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 2: of the most radical Democrats in the entire country, Amy Klobashar, 807 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 2: most radical and well funded Democrats in the entire country. 808 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 2: In our four sitting Republican Congress members wouldn't endorse me. 809 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 2: I mean, is that almost like a silent endorsement of her. 810 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,240 Speaker 3: It does show division, as we discussed, that's. 811 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,839 Speaker 2: Right, they're willing to and this is this is true 812 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 2: of the Republican establishment in general. And this is this 813 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 2: is exemplified by Mitt Romney. Back to my example, Mitt 814 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 2: Romney throwing in with the communists in this nation's darkest hour. 815 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 2: Remember I said that there's a great dark mark on 816 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,839 Speaker 2: our history. It was a dark mark before he threw 817 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 2: in with Kamala Harris. The fact that we put Mitt 818 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 2: Romney up over Ron Paul was a dark mark on 819 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,240 Speaker 2: the Republican Party well before he threw in with Kamala Harris. 820 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,800 Speaker 2: The fact that he made threw in with Kamala Harrison 821 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 2: this nation's darkest hour just solidified it as the dark 822 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 2: mark on the Republican Party's history. And it's not by 823 00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 2: accident that a moderate, sort of milk toast guy who 824 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 2: has a great smile and a nice strong name with 825 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 2: a lot of prestige and elite, great head of hair. 826 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 2: You know, I'm going bald already because the truth stresses 827 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 2: me out. You're pretty good man, Thank you, thank you. 828 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 2: But it's not by accident that Amit Romney threw in 829 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 2: with Kamala Harrison the communists. And that's exactly what the 830 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 2: Republican establishment has been and will continue to try and 831 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 2: be through the twenty twenty six midterms and even into 832 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,640 Speaker 2: twenty twenty until we crushed them the same way we 833 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 2: have to crush our enemies. 834 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up. The midterms so because 835 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 3: of these divisions. 836 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:29,280 Speaker 2: Let's go back to Israel. 837 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,800 Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about the midterms though, because you're running 838 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 3: for US sentence. 839 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, Israel is going to be a big issue in 840 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 2: the midterms. It's a big issue now. 841 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,800 Speaker 3: But based on these divisions, many of which you've highlighted, 842 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 3: how do you think the midterms are going to go? 843 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 3: Because you have Margine Taylor Green leaving them, leaving her post. Yep, 844 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 3: you have, so she says, it looks pretty clear. I mean, 845 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,319 Speaker 3: I'll see, Okay, okay, fair, fine, we'll see. I don't 846 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 3: know yet, but clearly those. 847 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 2: Are our intentions. Stated inten is to leave. If I 848 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 2: had to say in it, if I had a chance 849 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 2: to talk to her, maybe I will she would make 850 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 2: a different choice. 851 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 3: And then come back to the Trump fold. 852 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 2: I won't say what folds she has to come back to, 853 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 2: because no American politician has to be in anybody's fold. 854 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 2: I support President Trump one hundred percent, and I continue 855 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 2: to pray that he finds the righteous discernment to lead 856 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,839 Speaker 2: this nation in the best direction. And I think he's 857 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 2: done a great job opposed to many of the other 858 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 2: presidents in recent memory. But I'm not in agreement with 859 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,719 Speaker 2: everything he's done, and we can talk about that at 860 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,799 Speaker 2: great length if you want. And I don't think that 861 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Green needs to be in agreement with everything 862 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 2: that President Trump has done, either, But I do think 863 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 2: that her her voice in the Congress is important, and 864 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 2: I don't agree with everything she's saying either, but she 865 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:58,880 Speaker 2: does seem to have a little bit more testicular fortitude 866 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,440 Speaker 2: than some of her colleague. 867 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 3: Sorry, that's a that's a that's a powerful way of 868 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 3: describing describing. 869 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 2: That. 870 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 3: Being said, though these divisions have an impact on the 871 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,360 Speaker 3: election itself, how are Republicans going to do in the 872 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 3: midterms given these different. 873 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,240 Speaker 2: You want to talk about the projections of the midterms 874 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 2: until we talk about election integrity, until the elections are secure. 875 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 2: I don't want to I don't want to fabricate the 876 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,640 Speaker 2: you know the I don't even want to lend any 877 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 2: credence to the outcomes or the results, because it's it's 878 00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 2: it it, you know it. 879 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 3: How about how about this? 880 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 2: It pretends that it's all that, that it's off fair 881 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 2: and equal, or that it's a square game, and it's not. 882 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 3: How about this? 883 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 2: The voter roles in Minnesota are the Minnesota Secretary of 884 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 2: State wouldn't even give the voter rolls to the Department 885 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,360 Speaker 2: of Justice. What do you heighten? 886 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,080 Speaker 3: Nevertheless, you are still trying to get votes, to my 887 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,399 Speaker 3: correct No, you're not trying to get votes. 888 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 2: Oh I'm glad we're talking about this. This is important. 889 00:51:58,600 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 3: Then why are you running? 890 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,719 Speaker 2: Because the United States Senate is supposed to be the 891 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 2: most deliberative body in the world, and the people who 892 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:12,359 Speaker 2: represent us in the United States Senate Senate. Harken back 893 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 2: all the way to the earliest constructions of our government 894 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 2: in Westphalian nationhood or nation state culture right there in 895 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 2: the Roman Republic, even back to the days of the 896 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 2: Greek city states. But the Roman Republic is where we 897 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 2: mostly get our formation of government in the Senate right 898 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:30,480 Speaker 2: like the Roman Senate. 899 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:30,839 Speaker 3: But why. 900 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,239 Speaker 2: The reason why it's important is because any place where 901 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 2: we abnegate our responsibility and duty to stand up and 902 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 2: speak the truth as a let's say, candidate for one 903 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,360 Speaker 2: of these offices, we can no longer condemn the American 904 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,760 Speaker 2: people for choosing the government that they get and deserving 905 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,759 Speaker 2: the government they get. If a candidate doesn't step up 906 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,120 Speaker 2: and say, like President Trump, for example, if President Trump 907 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 2: didn't step up in the twilight of his life and say, hey, 908 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 2: I could be doing anything else, but there's something that 909 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 2: needs to be said, and I'm going to say it, 910 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,720 Speaker 2: and I'm going to give the American people that choice, 911 00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 2: that option. It's hard. It's hard for any one of 912 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 2: us who has any aspirations to lead or help lead 913 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,440 Speaker 2: this country in a positive direction to hold the American 914 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,759 Speaker 2: people's feet to the fire. Because we didn't step up 915 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,359 Speaker 2: to give them the option. And I would say that 916 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 2: for any American citizens sitting at home who thinks that 917 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,359 Speaker 2: they have a good perspective on politics, or they think 918 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 2: that they have a good mind sharp for politics or policy, 919 00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 2: step up and run. Step up and running your local municipality. 920 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,840 Speaker 2: Step up and run for school board, mayor congressional office, 921 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 2: a state office, a state senate, state house, US Senate, 922 00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,800 Speaker 2: run for president if you think that you can offer something. 923 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,719 Speaker 2: But if you sit home and you're not willing to 924 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 2: put your hat, your name in the hat, then you 925 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,720 Speaker 2: can't say, oh, well, the American people made the wrong choice, 926 00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 2: Well why didn't you run? See it's easy to criticize 927 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,280 Speaker 2: every other can, but the question is why why didn't 928 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 2: you step up? If you think you know better. So 929 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 2: that's my that's my goal, and that's my mission is 930 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 2: I'm going to step up and run. I'm going to 931 00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 2: run until I until I die, because it's it's it 932 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,360 Speaker 2: would be dishonest if I didn't give the American people 933 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 2: this message and this option when they go to cast 934 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:21,280 Speaker 2: their ballot. 935 00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:30,800 Speaker 3: Interesting, So the I guess I'm I have a slower mind, 936 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 3: a smoother brain. Here there is a concern for voter 937 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 3: election integrity. Yes, but also you are running to make 938 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 3: a statement every politician is always Maybe I need to 939 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,840 Speaker 3: just come back to the beginning. Why did you decide 940 00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 3: to run twenty twenty four and why did you decide. 941 00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 2: To rerun because American politics. 942 00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 3: Sorry, the. 943 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 2: Reason why I chose to run in twenty twenty four 944 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,080 Speaker 2: and then now going to run again in twenty twenty 945 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 2: six is American politics is captured by special interests and 946 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:16,879 Speaker 2: lobby money. It's it's captured by uh, the status quo 947 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 2: of corruption. That's why I reason it's the it's the 948 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:22,760 Speaker 2: only reason. 949 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:27,200 Speaker 3: Wait, I don't understand, Like, are you running to shine 950 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,319 Speaker 3: a light on it or I'm confused about that. 951 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 2: No, I'm running to represent the truth. So you're representatives. 952 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 2: Wait a second, you're you're representatives your political candidate. If 953 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,360 Speaker 2: your political candidate's only goal is to win their election, 954 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 2: they've already failed you. Your political candidates, from the time 955 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,520 Speaker 2: that they declare to run for an office should be 956 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,279 Speaker 2: to inform. I think that's clear that you're running to 957 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 2: be to inform the American people of the highest formation 958 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:52,959 Speaker 2: of truth about the politics of the time. 959 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,399 Speaker 4: But not just informed though like obviously say you get 960 00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 4: the political every political camp education just in form. 961 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 3: You have votes, you have votes in the Senate, you 962 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,799 Speaker 3: have votes in Congress to make change and write bill. 963 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,880 Speaker 2: Well, before you're ever elected, every political camp first of all. 964 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 3: Like there's more responsibilities in just informed. 965 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,360 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, oh no, no, wait a second, it's sequential. 966 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 2: It's sequential. Every American political candidate, before they ever get 967 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 2: elected office, runs a political campaign that should be educational 968 00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,399 Speaker 2: for their constituents. And if you're in a national wide 969 00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,480 Speaker 2: race the entire country. Yeah, but they're not. Though you 970 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 2: could say, you don't disagree, but how many political campaigns 971 00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:39,439 Speaker 2: have you really learned something from?

I mean, 973 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,359 Speaker 2: I feel like I think they're all just a bunch 974 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,720 Speaker 2: of cookie cutter bullshit meant to pander to the constituency 975 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:52,399 Speaker 2: they plan to extract votes from. I don't even talk 976 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 2: about issues in terms of, you know, what, what sample 977 00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 2: size or or what focused group thinks these issues are 978 00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 2: more or more electable than others. I think that entire 979 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 2: thing is a part of the theater. That's what's happened 980 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 2: to this country. They're going to control focused group, a 981 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 2: set of questions and what's most important to Minnesotans. I 982 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 2: don't give a fuck you. If you're an American citizen 983 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,920 Speaker 2: and you've been conditioned to want to hear what you 984 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 2: want to hear versus what you need to hear, you 985 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,320 Speaker 2: have failed this country as a citizen. It's not the 986 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 2: politician who can't construct a bullshit, you know, a bullshit 987 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 2: pitch to satisfy your need for you know, a political propaganda. 988 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 2: If you would much rather hear what you want to 989 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 2: hear versus what you need to hear, you have failed 990 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 2: as a citizen. And if the collective of citizens are 991 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 2: conditioned to that standard, that expectation of political candidates, then 992 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 2: that's why the country is the way it is. And 993 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 2: we don't need to talk about Israel. As a citizen, 994 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 2: you don't demand the highest standard of of of of 995 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 2: ethics and morals and honesty from your own candidates. 996 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,440 Speaker 3: Look, at the end of the day, as a citizen, 997 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 3: I put a voter. That's what I can do. 998 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 2: That's how simple they wanted to see. 999 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 3: But I can't put a voter. That's that's where my 1000 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 3: power can play. 1001 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,240 Speaker 2: And I want to should and you should Okay, The 1002 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 2: question is what is the standard you demand from your politicians? 1003 00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 2: Everybody gets to cast a vote, that's your god given, 1004 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,960 Speaker 2: inalienable right.

What what even informational 1006 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,560 Speaker 2: background or framework are you working from as a citizen. 1007 00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,080 Speaker 3: I have a different, a little more emotional question here. 1008 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 2: Uh. 1009 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 3: This year has been tough when it comes to political violence. 1010 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 2: Yes, it's been an issue. 1011 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,000 Speaker 3: How have the events of like the Minnesota state reps 1012 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:56,640 Speaker 3: UH and Charlie Kirk? How have these events affected your 1013 00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 3: thinking and the lead up to your campaign? 1014 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:11,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean people who make freedom of speech, you know, illegal, 1015 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 2: People who thought a genuine and authentic political process are 1016 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,960 Speaker 2: the true insiders of what we would call political violence. 1017 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:35,480 Speaker 2: In my opinion, and the volatility of the political culture 1018 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 2: in this country is not by accident. It's not a coincidence. 1019 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 2: It's intentional. The bastardization, the decadence of our intellectual currency, 1020 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:50,920 Speaker 2: our philosophical currency, are our civic duty in this country 1021 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,960 Speaker 2: is not by accident. It's intentional. The fact that your 1022 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,160 Speaker 2: average American citizen, fifty percent of American citizens read at 1023 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,480 Speaker 2: an eighth and seventh grade level. Another fifty perc read 1024 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 2: below a seventh grade level is not by accident. That's 1025 01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:09,880 Speaker 2: called government policy. And and so my, my, my thought 1026 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 2: about the political violence is that it is a manifestation 1027 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:19,360 Speaker 2: of the decay of our culture. And it's tragic, it's terrible. 1028 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk's assassination was I mean, how to even describe it. 1029 01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 2: It will uh, you know, it will free some people 1030 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:32,200 Speaker 2: in fear and in time for a generation or so, 1031 01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:37,400 Speaker 2: same way John Kennedy's froze the Boomer generation, Boomer generation 1032 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,959 Speaker 2: in time and fear for for for a long long time. 1033 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 3: What was especially in this state, What was it like 1034 01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 3: when John Hoffin and Less Harman were attacked? How did 1035 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 3: how did how did that go for you? 1036 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:54,880 Speaker 2: As as the one is running, I completely uh disavow 1037 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,560 Speaker 2: political violence and that type of cowardice in any form 1038 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 2: of fashion. I think it's a projection of people's own 1039 01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 2: insanity and their own unwillingness to manifest the type of 1040 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 2: civic engagement in political activism that they could if they 1041 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 2: had some sacred honor and faith. Uh So, you know, 1042 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 2: nobody's going to be able to tell me that shooting 1043 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 2: a United Healthcare CEO in Midtown Manhattan is how you 1044 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:26,040 Speaker 2: get things done in this country. Just you just can't. 1045 01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:30,400 Speaker 2: You could. You could make the argument if we even 1046 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 2: started from the baseline that we demand our elections be secure. 1047 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 2: If you can't, if you won't demand that your elections 1048 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 2: are secure and follow through with the political activism that 1049 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,400 Speaker 2: that you know stands on, that you don't have a 1050 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,600 Speaker 2: right to pick up a gun and go shoot an 1051 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,720 Speaker 2: oligarch because they're corrupt. 1052 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 3: I had heard a rumor that you'd known, actually Charlie Kirk. 1053 01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know Charlie. I know Charlie. 1054 01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 3: I imagine that we were called is there a way 1055 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:01,800 Speaker 3: to tape that down? 1056 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:07,640 Speaker 2: I knew Charlie Kirk, well, not great. We weren't great 1057 01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,000 Speaker 2: friends by any means. I certainly didn't know him as 1058 01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:13,440 Speaker 2: much as a Canvas Owns or Jack Pasovic or some 1059 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,200 Speaker 2: of those people. But I was on Charlie's show a 1060 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 2: number of times. I was introduced to Charlie in a 1061 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,400 Speaker 2: group chat about the election, and I had a number 1062 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:26,640 Speaker 2: of conversations with Charlie about American politics. And obviously I 1063 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,080 Speaker 2: watched Charlie because he and I both have a show 1064 01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:34,400 Speaker 2: on Real America's Voice and Charlie was, you know, was 1065 01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:39,720 Speaker 2: an incredible young man. He very sharp, very articulate, very 1066 01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 2: process oriented, very hard working, real political activists, you know 1067 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:51,720 Speaker 2: what I mean, like sort of in the streets as 1068 01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 2: much as in the streets activists as you'll find in 1069 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:58,440 Speaker 2: the Republican Party on the conservative side. So I had 1070 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,760 Speaker 2: a lot of respect for him. Didn't agree with them 1071 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,920 Speaker 2: on everything. I thought he found a real set of 1072 01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,800 Speaker 2: balls towards the end of his life and start talking 1073 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,840 Speaker 2: about some issues people didn't want him to talk about 1074 01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 2: the way he did. And I don't know if that 1075 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:12,920 Speaker 2: caused him some problems. You know, obviously it caused them 1076 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 2: some problems financially, that's now come to light. But I 1077 01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 2: don't know if those problems had to do with this 1078 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,920 Speaker 2: assassination or not. But a sad and tragic day for 1079 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,120 Speaker 2: this country to see a young man with that bright 1080 01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,640 Speaker 2: of a future killed in that horrific way. 1081 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:30,600 Speaker 3: Have you reached out to the good family. 1082 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:36,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I gave my condolences. You know, it's I mean 1083 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,120 Speaker 2: the whole world. You know, there's an entire world of 1084 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 2: people who were fans of Charlie Kirk that felt more 1085 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,880 Speaker 2: or less the same way. Is this is horrific. 1086 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,120 Speaker 3: Did you reach out to the corporate and offense families. 1087 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,480 Speaker 2: I gave my condolences to them too publicly. I made 1088 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,840 Speaker 2: a public statement reaching out to their families. I wouldn't 1089 01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:58,160 Speaker 2: even know where to begin to get a hold of 1090 01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,240 Speaker 2: somebody's family. I don't even know if that would be appropriate, 1091 01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,600 Speaker 2: you know, to me anyway. I mean, I just I 1092 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,880 Speaker 2: don't consider myself that important of a person to where, 1093 01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 2: you know, like if I was the President of the 1094 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 2: United States, I might have done something like that, you know, 1095 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 2: or if I was a US senator from Minnesota, might 1096 01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 2: have done something like that as a gesture. But you know, 1097 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,200 Speaker 2: people lost their loved ones. They lost their mother or 1098 01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,640 Speaker 2: their wife, or their you know, in Charlie's case, a 1099 01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:29,080 Speaker 2: husband or a father. You know, there's there's really nothing 1100 01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:34,280 Speaker 2: superficial you could say that changes that. You know, death 1101 01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 2: is unnatural in that way, especially when people are murdered 1102 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 2: or assassinated. So I don't really do with the you know, 1103 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,920 Speaker 2: with the superficial when it comes to death and murder 1104 01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:43,720 Speaker 2: and stuff like that. 1105 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:50,080 Speaker 3: Minnesota has recently been the headlines due to Trump's remarks 1106 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:55,040 Speaker 3: about the smaller population. What did you think of those 1107 01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,800 Speaker 3: remarks when they were made about the small community, and. 1108 01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,560 Speaker 2: In Twin says, I think the answer to Somalia is 1109 01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:05,360 Speaker 2: in Somalia's not in Minneapolis. I think the answer to 1110 01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 2: Somalia is in Somalia. It's not in Minneapolis, Okay, But 1111 01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 2: but there's a pretty large percentage of small a yes, yes. 1112 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:17,080 Speaker 2: The question is why? 1113 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,800 Speaker 3: How I guess what did you think of Trump's marks? 1114 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:24,360 Speaker 2: As those are my thoughts about his remarks. 1115 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 3: I don't understand. 1116 01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 2: I'm runner for United States Senate. I don't. I don't 1117 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:31,400 Speaker 2: hear Trump's remarks and then form some type of, you know, 1118 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,040 Speaker 2: knee jerk opinion about him, like, well, I think Trump's 1119 01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 2: remarks are right or wrong or whatever else. I think 1120 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 2: about the implications of the thing that he's talking about. 1121 01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 2: So when I think about the Somalian community, of the 1122 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,880 Speaker 2: Somali community in Minneapolis or in the United States, I 1123 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 2: think back to black Hawk Down and the war that 1124 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,360 Speaker 2: we waged in Somalia, and whether or not we should 1125 01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 2: have been there in the first place, and what good 1126 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:58,160 Speaker 2: did it do for Somalia, What good did it do 1127 01:05:58,240 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 2: for the region, What good did it do for the 1128 01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,560 Speaker 2: America people, What good did it do for the contentious 1129 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:07,240 Speaker 2: nature of the topic today, I guess the answer to 1130 01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:10,160 Speaker 2: Somalia is not in Minneapolis. It's in Somalia. 1131 01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,000 Speaker 3: I guess. Let me be a little more focused on 1132 01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 3: Did you agree with Trump's remarks about the small people? 1133 01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:18,680 Speaker 2: Well, I think trump. I think President Trump made a 1134 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,120 Speaker 2: lot of remarks, uh, and has made a lot of 1135 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 2: remarks about Somalia. I think some of them were taken 1136 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:27,960 Speaker 2: out of context, as they so often are. Yeah, explain, well, 1137 01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 2: I don't think that President Trump was saying that all 1138 01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,400 Speaker 2: Somalians are garbage. I know a lot of people try 1139 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 2: to fence it that way. I certainly listened to the comments, 1140 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,000 Speaker 2: and I didn't take that from what he said. What 1141 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,040 Speaker 2: I took from what he said was that Ilhan Omar 1142 01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:44,120 Speaker 2: is garbage, and she is, and that the other Somalian 1143 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 2: immigrants who were involved in one of the largest scale 1144 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,680 Speaker 2: frauds in Minnesota history were garbage and they are so. 1145 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 2: But anybody who would say that all Somali's are garbage, 1146 01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,800 Speaker 2: they must they must have misspoke, or they're not speaking 1147 01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 2: from a place of humanity or or Christianity. But I 1148 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,800 Speaker 2: didn't think that he said that, actually. But but there 1149 01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 2: are some people who do say something like that. 1150 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,320 Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say, many smaller people do read 1151 01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:11,880 Speaker 3: him saying, I mean it's not different. 1152 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:13,240 Speaker 2: They don't. 1153 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 3: Well, the quote itself is the smaller community in is 1154 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:18,320 Speaker 3: in his garbage. 1155 01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 2: Well, so well, here I'll say, well, but how deep 1156 01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:21,800 Speaker 2: do you want to go in? 1157 01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 3: I'm not talking about that. I'm simply saying that, like, well, 1158 01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:26,439 Speaker 3: there's a lot of there's a lot of smaller people 1159 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,760 Speaker 3: who are quite offended by those remarkless. 1160 01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:32,120 Speaker 2: But listen, here's what I'll say. There's no easy way 1161 01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:36,600 Speaker 2: to clean up a big mess. Okay, And our foreign 1162 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,880 Speaker 2: back to our foreign policy, because I'm running for United 1163 01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:42,280 Speaker 2: States Senate. Back to our foreign policy. Our foreign policy 1164 01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,680 Speaker 2: has created a huge mess all around the world, some 1165 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 2: in other places, some for us right here in America, 1166 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,320 Speaker 2: some for us right here in Minnesota. The Somali immigration 1167 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,400 Speaker 2: to this state, to our city, and the way that 1168 01:07:56,440 --> 01:08:00,640 Speaker 2: immigration has been carried out by government policy, specific as 1169 01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 2: it pertains to fraud that has now been uncovered, is 1170 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 2: a huge mess. And there's no easy way to discuss it, 1171 01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,080 Speaker 2: and there's no easy way to clean it up. And 1172 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:21,679 Speaker 2: what I think people need to admit is the people 1173 01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:27,840 Speaker 2: who you the people who you choose to represent you 1174 01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:31,920 Speaker 2: do represent you as a whole in some sense. The 1175 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:37,520 Speaker 2: same way, when President Trump says something embarrassing by mainstream 1176 01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,640 Speaker 2: media standards, what did they say? They said, this is 1177 01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,920 Speaker 2: embarrassing for the for America. Right, do you agree when 1178 01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:48,759 Speaker 2: President Trump says something that? Okay? When President Trump says 1179 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 2: something that the mainstream media regard as disgusting, repugnant, unpresidential, 1180 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 2: or whatever the case may be, they make the claim 1181 01:08:56,520 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 2: that it's embarrassing for America to the rest of the world. 1182 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,400 Speaker 3: Right which which outlets? 1183 01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 2: All of them? Most of them? 1184 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:05,719 Speaker 3: Okay? 1185 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:07,439 Speaker 2: All right, there are a ton of There are a 1186 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,559 Speaker 2: ton of mainstream media outlets that have made the claim 1187 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:15,760 Speaker 2: some of President Trump's actions and comments are embarrassing for 1188 01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:21,080 Speaker 2: US as a nation, meaning that uh an elected official 1189 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 2: who is elected to represent a certain people, a population 1190 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 2: of people, a demographic people, can represent the entire group 1191 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,120 Speaker 2: with his actions and his words, and people can form 1192 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:39,639 Speaker 2: opinions based on what somebody who represents you says. So 1193 01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 2: my point is that it doesn't just stop with the 1194 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,719 Speaker 2: President of the United States or how he can represent 1195 01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:49,519 Speaker 2: this country. It also is how Anilhannomar represents the Somali community, 1196 01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:54,080 Speaker 2: or how a Barack Obama or more accurately, a Jasmine 1197 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 2: Crockett represents the black community. I guess you represent that 1198 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:02,240 Speaker 2: when you're when you're elected to represent people, you represent 1199 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,320 Speaker 2: them in the Somali community. And I told this to 1200 01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 2: a Somali, a Somali gentleman at a town hall recently. 1201 01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,880 Speaker 2: I said, we all have to take responsibility for the 1202 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:15,160 Speaker 2: people who we choose to represent us, and some in 1203 01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 2: some in some respects. And so when when a Barack 1204 01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:24,479 Speaker 2: Obama stands up in lies before the nation as a 1205 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 2: black man, he's representing me, lying by what right, Well, 1206 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,320 Speaker 2: we'll get to that. But when that happens, he's representing me. 1207 01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:36,280 Speaker 2: When an Iohanomar stands up before the American people or 1208 01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,400 Speaker 2: the world and tells lies or or or pushes a 1209 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,840 Speaker 2: policy or a political platform that's not honest, she's representing 1210 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,280 Speaker 2: her Somalian community the same way she says she's representing 1211 01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,080 Speaker 2: them in her success. If you represent a group of 1212 01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,759 Speaker 2: people in your success, you also represent them in your failures. 1213 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,920 Speaker 2: Speaking which so to my point about his comments, if 1214 01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,720 Speaker 2: you take the net, if you take the aggregate of 1215 01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:04,320 Speaker 2: the Somalian community at current the most the most uh, 1216 01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:09,240 Speaker 2: the most public thing that we see is one of 1217 01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:13,600 Speaker 2: the biggest frauds, one of the biggest fraud uh. You know, 1218 01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:17,120 Speaker 2: one of the biggest scams in the history of our 1219 01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:22,720 Speaker 2: state of Minnesota. And it was predominantly perpetuated by Somalian immigrants. 1220 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,680 Speaker 2: So for President Trump to say the Somalian community in 1221 01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:32,120 Speaker 2: Minnesota is trash, you are a net result of of 1222 01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:33,800 Speaker 2: the way that you're represented, in the way that the 1223 01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,280 Speaker 2: people in your community represents you. It's the same thing 1224 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,200 Speaker 2: I think about the Black community, honestly, and it's the 1225 01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,680 Speaker 2: same thing I think about white Western society. So is 1226 01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:44,720 Speaker 2: that white Western society has been is a bunch of 1227 01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:51,200 Speaker 2: neo conservative, neoliberal globalist cooks. And I can say that 1228 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,760 Speaker 2: about white society with complete confidence. I can say that 1229 01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 2: the Black community in America is a result of a 1230 01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:01,200 Speaker 2: decadent culture, an intentional in culture. And I can say 1231 01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 2: that the Somali community right now is a representation of 1232 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,200 Speaker 2: one of the greatest fraudulent scams in the history of 1233 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:08,599 Speaker 2: our state. 1234 01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 3: Now. 1235 01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:11,920 Speaker 2: I don't know how President Trump would explain it in 1236 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,720 Speaker 2: nuance or detail. I can't speak for him, but that's 1237 01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 2: what I would say. 1238 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:17,679 Speaker 3: I think he was very clear about how he thought 1239 01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:19,120 Speaker 3: about the Smali community. 1240 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,479 Speaker 2: Well, I think his entire day and the things that 1241 01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,920 Speaker 2: he says to the media and the the you know, 1242 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:29,720 Speaker 2: the the sound bites and quotes that come out of 1243 01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:36,160 Speaker 2: his you know, come out of his meticulously scheduled uh 1244 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:42,680 Speaker 2: you know, life are you know, I mean, they have 1245 01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,559 Speaker 2: to be taken with a grain of salt. Anyway, when 1246 01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:49,000 Speaker 2: I'm president, it won't be like that when I'm president. 1247 01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:50,720 Speaker 2: When I'm president, it won't be like that. 1248 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:51,799 Speaker 3: You're running for president. 1249 01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 2: Now, what I'm saying is, when I'm president, it won't 1250 01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,040 Speaker 2: be like that. When I'm president, I'll sit on the 1251 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,880 Speaker 2: South lawn. Well may we won't do the South long 1252 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,760 Speaker 2: because it probably be too clear of a shot for 1253 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,519 Speaker 2: would be assassin. But we'll be right there in the press. 1254 01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:08,920 Speaker 2: There'll be entire days where I sit in the press 1255 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,599 Speaker 2: room at the White House and explain in full detail 1256 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,240 Speaker 2: and nuanced the reason why I say the things I say, 1257 01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,160 Speaker 2: the historical references or context for what I'm saying, and 1258 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:22,559 Speaker 2: the choices that we're making in policy. Right now, President 1259 01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 2: Trump is in a position we're saving this country from 1260 01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,479 Speaker 2: the damage that has been done. Doesn't allow him to 1261 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,719 Speaker 2: do that, and if he can succeed in his agenda 1262 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,160 Speaker 2: and bring this country back to a more reasonable place, 1263 01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,720 Speaker 2: hopefully a future presidential candidate will have more leeway with 1264 01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,760 Speaker 2: explaining things to the American people in greater detail. 1265 01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:44,080 Speaker 3: I have so many questions about the president park that's it. Well, 1266 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:50,040 Speaker 3: it's also that I am. I will not be I 1267 01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,160 Speaker 3: will be shocked, but not surprised if if we get there, 1268 01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,080 Speaker 3: and I hope you'll grant me an interview if there happens, 1269 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 3: as of course. Okay, So, but coming back to the 1270 01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:01,880 Speaker 3: nuance of the smaller community, as you noted on the 1271 01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 3: War Room, we see Bannon with regard to the question 1272 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:12,679 Speaker 3: that's Bannon put to you, the response was a thousand 1273 01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:13,920 Speaker 3: percent no equivocations. 1274 01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:15,680 Speaker 2: Thousand percent equivocations. 1275 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:20,320 Speaker 3: Correct. So the town hall that you had mentioned with 1276 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:24,400 Speaker 3: regard to the smaller community, then, yeah, seemed like took 1277 01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:25,679 Speaker 3: a shit with that comment. 1278 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,320 Speaker 2: They thought they did until we talked about it. 1279 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,120 Speaker 3: Well, let's let's talk about it. So there's a lot 1280 01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:31,520 Speaker 3: of passionate conversation. 1281 01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,120 Speaker 2: That was great. That was a great town hall. Explain 1282 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,360 Speaker 2: tell me more. I saw a little bit about we 1283 01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,080 Speaker 2: got to the bottom of some ship there. What we 1284 01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:40,880 Speaker 2: got to the bottom of is as a black man 1285 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,479 Speaker 2: and as as Somolian immigrants, we share a cultural narrative 1286 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:48,000 Speaker 2: in some respects is that we our identity is used 1287 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 2: in this tug of war of race and identity in 1288 01:14:52,560 --> 01:15:01,439 Speaker 2: American political culture, in the American political dialogue. And the 1289 01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:05,439 Speaker 2: olive branch that I extended to the gentleman who I've like, 1290 01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,280 Speaker 2: he said, I know, I've met before taking pictures with 1291 01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:12,519 Speaker 2: He supported me, he supported President Trump. The olive branch 1292 01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 2: that I extended is to tell him, as a black 1293 01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:17,439 Speaker 2: man whose people have been in this country far longer 1294 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:25,040 Speaker 2: than the Somalis, the Somalis, I can say with a 1295 01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:29,200 Speaker 2: lot of confidence that I have been misrepresented and that 1296 01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:34,880 Speaker 2: I have to accept responsibility for people who represent me 1297 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 2: and misrepresent me. And that is probably best seen in 1298 01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:43,120 Speaker 2: the Black community of any other group in this country, 1299 01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 2: because the Black community has been misrepresented politically, culturally, spiritually, 1300 01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:59,880 Speaker 2: the Black community has been misrepresented, misled, manipulated, exploited, misrep 1301 01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:03,200 Speaker 2: is in it. But just because that's true doesn't mean 1302 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,000 Speaker 2: that I don't have to take accountability for it as 1303 01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,760 Speaker 2: a black man. And so what I was telling him is, 1304 01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 2: you know, the answer to Somalia is in Somalia. It's not. 1305 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:15,880 Speaker 2: It's not in America, it's not in Minneapolis. The problem 1306 01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:20,480 Speaker 2: with Somalia, and the problem with the conversation, even for Republicans, 1307 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:24,799 Speaker 2: is that it doesn't acknowledge the fundamental facts, the truth 1308 01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:28,320 Speaker 2: about how Somalians got here in the first place, how 1309 01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:30,439 Speaker 2: the Somalis ended up here in the first place. And 1310 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,000 Speaker 2: this is the whole deal. This isn't a this isn't 1311 01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:38,160 Speaker 2: a small piece of the story. This is the whole story. 1312 01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 2: This is what you call the meat and potatoes of 1313 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:45,360 Speaker 2: the story. Our military industrial complex had no business in 1314 01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:49,320 Speaker 2: Somalia in the first place. We were there under false pretenses. 1315 01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:51,280 Speaker 2: We were there in the false auspices for a false 1316 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,760 Speaker 2: mission that we didn't achieve, because Somalia is not a 1317 01:16:54,800 --> 01:17:00,000 Speaker 2: bastion of freedom and democracy. They are not self determined 1318 01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:06,360 Speaker 2: as the Democrat liberal order professes to do all around 1319 01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,640 Speaker 2: the world. Right, that was the That was the Moniker 1320 01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 2: or you know, the professed mission of the post World 1321 01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:17,880 Speaker 2: War two democrat liberal order. After World War Two. That 1322 01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:19,960 Speaker 2: was the mission of the post World War two democrat 1323 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:23,599 Speaker 2: liberal order. We're going to take freedom and democracy around 1324 01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,439 Speaker 2: the world by peace through strength and make every nation 1325 01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:30,240 Speaker 2: self determining it didn't work. It didn't work in Somalia. 1326 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:35,080 Speaker 2: Somalia is a failed state. Somalia is a failed state 1327 01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:41,640 Speaker 2: sitting on about five trillion dollars of oil reserves, just 1328 01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,160 Speaker 2: the oil, not to mention the gold and the other 1329 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:48,840 Speaker 2: rare earth minerals and the great fishing oceans that they 1330 01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:52,400 Speaker 2: have off of the beautiful coastline there in Somalia. Somalia 1331 01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:59,040 Speaker 2: is a resource rich nation. But Americans, a Western and 1332 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 2: American police coelites, made a fortune off of exploiting nations 1333 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 2: all around the world under the auspices of American freedom, 1334 01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:17,520 Speaker 2: and that has intentionally kept Somalia poor and has intentionally 1335 01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:22,960 Speaker 2: kept Somalia corrupt. But the Somali people have to take 1336 01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:29,320 Speaker 2: some responsibility too, because the Somalians had the opportunity to 1337 01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,840 Speaker 2: tell the Westerners know and they couldn't do it. They 1338 01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:36,639 Speaker 2: took the money, They took the money, or they took 1339 01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,799 Speaker 2: the fear, whether it's a warlord or despot or tyrant 1340 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,360 Speaker 2: or religious leader or whoever it was that rose to 1341 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:47,240 Speaker 2: power in Somalia and did the deals with Western society 1342 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:50,080 Speaker 2: to keep the nation poor instead of rich and self 1343 01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 2: determining that falls on the Somali people the same way 1344 01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:56,840 Speaker 2: it falls on the American people when we let our 1345 01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,880 Speaker 2: political elites do it to us here and there's a 1346 01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,240 Speaker 2: corollary there, and there's a corollary for the Black community. 1347 01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:08,559 Speaker 2: The reason why the black community has more millionaires, more 1348 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:11,040 Speaker 2: Black millionaires than anywhere else in the world or any 1349 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,920 Speaker 2: other time in American history. But yet still we put 1350 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 2: up icons like NBA Young Boy who promote shooting each 1351 01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,280 Speaker 2: other senselessly in the street over trivial things. Is something 1352 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:24,599 Speaker 2: we have to own, and our lack of progression as 1353 01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:28,799 Speaker 2: a community is just as much on us as anybody 1354 01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,679 Speaker 2: else we could blame, not to say, there's not blame 1355 01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,920 Speaker 2: to go around, and we should talk about who is 1356 01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 2: rightfully responsible, but we can't pass the buck on our 1357 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,160 Speaker 2: own accountability in that. So to my point about the 1358 01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:46,400 Speaker 2: Somalians about Somalia, the answer to Somalia is not in Minneapolis. 1359 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 2: It's in Somalia. Somalia could be a thriving nation if 1360 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,960 Speaker 2: they did what Burkina Fosso has done. 1361 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 3: Let me focus a little bit on the Somali population here, 1362 01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:00,320 Speaker 3: just for a minute, to the extent that what do 1363 01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,639 Speaker 3: you say to the Somali Americans who are citizens who 1364 01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,839 Speaker 3: not only took the issue with Trump's marks, but are concerned, 1365 01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:11,720 Speaker 3: and they should be felt offended by They should be 1366 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:18,360 Speaker 3: the growing issue around. 1367 01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:20,920 Speaker 2: Should be concerned. We all should be concerned. There's no 1368 01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:24,560 Speaker 2: easy way to clean up a huge mess, and an 1369 01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:30,240 Speaker 2: administration or a government like the Biden administration, let's end 1370 01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:36,439 Speaker 2: fifteen million illegal immigrants in four years, There's no easy 1371 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,120 Speaker 2: way to deal with that. There's no way to go 1372 01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 2: about cleaning that up that doesn't run the risk of 1373 01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:48,519 Speaker 2: getting it wrong. Sometimes mistaken identity, misidentifying somebody as being 1374 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:52,599 Speaker 2: illegal when really they're legal. That's a difficult thing to do, 1375 01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,200 Speaker 2: and I'm not saying it makes it any less wrong. 1376 01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:57,679 Speaker 2: And if we do get it wrong, if Ice gets 1377 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:02,320 Speaker 2: it wrong and they grab somebody who who is here legally, 1378 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,400 Speaker 2: then they should apologize and there should be restitution. 1379 01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:10,280 Speaker 3: Do you remember me just going back to the town 1380 01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:10,920 Speaker 3: hall for a second. 1381 01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 2: That is which is why we can't spend another five 1382 01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,920 Speaker 2: billion dollars in Ukraine, because we're gonna need every dollar 1383 01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,880 Speaker 2: we can to get illegal immigrants that came here under 1384 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,360 Speaker 2: the Bide administration out. And when we make mistakes we're 1385 01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,000 Speaker 2: gonna have to pay in full restitution to people who 1386 01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:29,200 Speaker 2: are citizens, and if we don't, then we've undermined citizenship 1387 01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:30,960 Speaker 2: itself and the value of citizenship. 1388 01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:36,960 Speaker 3: Why were people upset at the town hall? 1389 01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,280 Speaker 2: Because people are passionate and emotional and they react without 1390 01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,000 Speaker 2: without thinking, And that's the way American political culture has 1391 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:51,639 Speaker 2: conditioned people to be. On purpose. Yeah, political political culture 1392 01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:55,400 Speaker 2: and conversation is intended to be hot, contentious, but never 1393 01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:56,759 Speaker 2: really gets to the root of things. 1394 01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:02,840 Speaker 3: So you're saying that the mall Americans are they're being 1395 01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,800 Speaker 3: upset is unfounded or confused. 1396 01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:11,280 Speaker 2: In large part, Yeah, for sure, which which is what 1397 01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:12,680 Speaker 2: we came to at the end. If you if you 1398 01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:14,479 Speaker 2: go back and you look at the footage at the 1399 01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,760 Speaker 2: end of that town hall, and and he was there 1400 01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:20,599 Speaker 2: where the Somali gentlemen that were there, shaking my hand 1401 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,120 Speaker 2: and hugging me. In fact, I was going to go 1402 01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 2: to dinner with two of them afterward, right, So they 1403 01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:29,479 Speaker 2: were after I explained it, they agreed because they know. 1404 01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:34,439 Speaker 2: But that's what real political leadership should be. Now, should 1405 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:36,360 Speaker 2: I have to go back and explain the comment or 1406 01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:38,960 Speaker 2: add nuance of detail for the President of the United 1407 01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,679 Speaker 2: States well, sure, because I'm running for you as Senate 1408 01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:44,760 Speaker 2: here in Minnesota and these are my constituents and the 1409 01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:48,320 Speaker 2: Somali community is a huge part of this of this state. 1410 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,080 Speaker 2: But I was able to do it. That won't make 1411 01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:54,479 Speaker 2: the headlines, though, you think Start the Start Tribune will 1412 01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:57,479 Speaker 2: report that after a hot and contentious conversation about the 1413 01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:00,160 Speaker 2: comments on Somalia, that I was able to come to 1414 01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,360 Speaker 2: an understanding and some common ground with the Somali gentleman 1415 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,280 Speaker 2: in the in the audience. No, it won't. It won't 1416 01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,720 Speaker 2: make the heavy I know. But it's the same thing. 1417 01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:10,559 Speaker 3: I guess. 1418 01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:13,719 Speaker 2: It's the same thing. Whether it's New York Times, Star Tribune, 1419 01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,120 Speaker 2: Associated Press, PBS, it's all the same. 1420 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,040 Speaker 3: But also, I mean a contracts. 1421 01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:24,559 Speaker 2: I'm a free agent, right But I'm just saying, even 1422 01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:27,720 Speaker 2: if you went back to PBS right now and you said, hey, 1423 01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:31,679 Speaker 2: there's this incredible story brewing in Minnesota where President Trump 1424 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:35,040 Speaker 2: made these crazy comments about the Somali community there and 1425 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:39,120 Speaker 2: some protesters who are Somali Republicans showed up to confront 1426 01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,559 Speaker 2: Royce at his town hall and by the end of it, 1427 01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:45,000 Speaker 2: they're shaking hands and hugging. Maybe this guy, Royce White 1428 01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,960 Speaker 2: has some real insightful ideas about politics that aren't getting 1429 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,720 Speaker 2: the credit they deserve. Maybe he's actually saying something that 1430 01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:54,960 Speaker 2: has the ability to transcend the polarization of American political culture. 1431 01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:57,280 Speaker 2: But you know, you try that and you tell me 1432 01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,000 Speaker 2: how it goes. I'm sure the brass at PBS would 1433 01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:03,120 Speaker 2: want the young thirty five year old conspiracy theorists in 1434 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 2: Minnesota to be painted in that light. 1435 01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:07,760 Speaker 3: Do you feel like by the end of the town 1436 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:11,400 Speaker 3: hall you think you can convince more small Americans to 1437 01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:13,480 Speaker 3: both for you? 1438 01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:15,479 Speaker 2: You get the government you deserve, and by god, we 1439 01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,200 Speaker 2: all will. I don't know what I can convince people of. 1440 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:21,000 Speaker 2: I can tell them the truth, and people have to 1441 01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,880 Speaker 2: make their choice and live with their decision. That's my 1442 01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:26,880 Speaker 2: honest that's my honest approach to politics in general. I'm 1443 01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 2: not here to tell people what they want to hear. 1444 01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:29,680 Speaker 2: I'm here to tell them what they need to hear, 1445 01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 2: and they get to make the choice. People can choose 1446 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:34,000 Speaker 2: to live in the truth or they can choose to 1447 01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:37,760 Speaker 2: live in and you know, in a lie and their 1448 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,920 Speaker 2: consequences that come with both. Sometimes there's good that comes 1449 01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:44,200 Speaker 2: with living in a lie. Speaking of leadership and just 1450 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:45,280 Speaker 2: coming back to the point you made. 1451 01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 3: I mean, do you find that you're the appropriate represation 1452 01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:49,519 Speaker 3: for the black community, then. 1453 01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 2: Oh, for sure, House, Yeah, I mean I'm tip of 1454 01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,120 Speaker 2: the spear. I'm as honest as they come in the 1455 01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,680 Speaker 2: black community, no doubt about that. And if there's a 1456 01:24:56,680 --> 01:25:00,720 Speaker 2: black bourgeoisse academic lead out there that wants to challenge it, 1457 01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:04,840 Speaker 2: please set up the debate any time, any place. Mark 1458 01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:06,840 Speaker 2: la mount Hill and I talked about Israel. We should 1459 01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:08,360 Speaker 2: still talk about Israel because I don't want to get 1460 01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:11,240 Speaker 2: away from that. Markla mount Hill and I talked about Israel. 1461 01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,080 Speaker 2: I used to talk with Jason Whitlock all the time, 1462 01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:17,000 Speaker 2: and you know, I'll talk to anybody in debate anybody, 1463 01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:19,200 Speaker 2: because the truth is unscripted. 1464 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:21,120 Speaker 3: I'm talking about leadership, though you're leading. 1465 01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:25,400 Speaker 2: Much of leadership starts with it starts they starts with 1466 01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,000 Speaker 2: the ideas, starts with the willingness to speak the truth. 1467 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:32,240 Speaker 3: Yea. In terms of representation, in terms of you, uh 1468 01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:35,519 Speaker 3: purporting in this center race to be the representation for 1469 01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:36,839 Speaker 3: the black community here in Minnesota. 1470 01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:40,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm black. I'm from the Twin Cities through and through. 1471 01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:42,640 Speaker 2: I'm a real son of the Twin Cities in a 1472 01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:46,800 Speaker 2: way that it's hard to even describe. You know, I 1473 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:51,080 Speaker 2: grew up all across the Twin Cities. Uh really, you know, 1474 01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:51,880 Speaker 2: I had. I had. 1475 01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:55,360 Speaker 3: I remember the anecdotes about St. Paul, and I had. 1476 01:25:55,240 --> 01:26:00,280 Speaker 2: Familiar ties all across the Greater Metropolitan Area up actually 1477 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:04,400 Speaker 2: in the black communities both North South Minneapolis, Rondo or 1478 01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:07,799 Speaker 2: what they call Selby side of Saint Paul, Selby Rondo, 1479 01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 2: Frogtown and Saint Paul, and uh, the west side, the 1480 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 2: east side. I went to Junior High on the east side. 1481 01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:16,320 Speaker 2: So you know, I have I have deep, deep roots 1482 01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:19,600 Speaker 2: here in the Twin Cities, in the black community specifically. 1483 01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,519 Speaker 3: I want to I do want to ask a question. Actually, yeah, 1484 01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:32,280 Speaker 3: can we talk about you hiring a crew to film 1485 01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,799 Speaker 3: this interview? Actually one, why are you filming the interview 1486 01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:39,400 Speaker 3: for yourself? And yeah, how does that play a role 1487 01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:40,320 Speaker 3: in your campaign? 1488 01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:48,240 Speaker 2: But in general, well, I do regard PBS as a 1489 01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:53,719 Speaker 2: as a media outlet that is important in the future 1490 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:57,320 Speaker 2: of this nation. They played an important role in the 1491 01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:00,400 Speaker 2: history of this nation. I still remember the the great 1492 01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:08,439 Speaker 2: PBS firing line programming with William Buckley and some of 1493 01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:14,439 Speaker 2: the great interviews he did that were contentious, very high level, 1494 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:24,880 Speaker 2: intellectually and controversial. You know, we we've lost that, and 1495 01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:27,639 Speaker 2: I think that what firing Line has become, I think 1496 01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:31,840 Speaker 2: what the National Review has become is a disgrace to 1497 01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:37,720 Speaker 2: William Buckley's legacy, to be honest, but I do think 1498 01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:40,000 Speaker 2: that there is a role for the institutions and the 1499 01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 2: legacy institutions in the future, and I continue to try 1500 01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:45,400 Speaker 2: as best I can be an advocate and encourage or 1501 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:49,040 Speaker 2: help with like in this situation, helped with, you know, 1502 01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:52,680 Speaker 2: being an honest representation of what this country needs. And 1503 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:58,519 Speaker 2: that's full unscripted interviews from start to finish that are 1504 01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:00,639 Speaker 2: put out there to the American people. Let the American 1505 01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:04,920 Speaker 2: people see who the people are that want to represent them. 1506 01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:10,360 Speaker 2: I don't know why PBS is uninterested in doing a 1507 01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:13,600 Speaker 2: real frontline, one on one sit down interview with the 1508 01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:17,719 Speaker 2: candidate that the country regards are so controversial. My guess 1509 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,479 Speaker 2: is that people would come away from it thinking much 1510 01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:24,639 Speaker 2: differently about me than they do already, given the headlines 1511 01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,720 Speaker 2: and yellow journalism, which I'm sure this interview will help with. 1512 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:29,400 Speaker 2: And that's why we decided to film it. 1513 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, let me be clear, the reason 1514 01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:34,000 Speaker 3: why we're feeling with these because they've been following you 1515 01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:37,639 Speaker 3: since twenty twenty, right, you're part of this wider fabric tapestry. 1516 01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,639 Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's not a knock on you. 1517 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:40,080 Speaker 3: Oh kay. 1518 01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:41,800 Speaker 2: I was just like, no, no, it's not a knock on 1519 01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:45,639 Speaker 2: the American Voices program or the project. But it is 1520 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,320 Speaker 2: chopped down in the sound bites and clips that don't really. 1521 01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:53,719 Speaker 2: I mean, these issues that we're talking about, they deserve 1522 01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:57,519 Speaker 2: the detailing nuance. They need it. It's essential. You know, 1523 01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:01,600 Speaker 2: we can paint beautiful tapestries and symbolic sort of artistic 1524 01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:11,320 Speaker 2: you know, programs and shows and whatnot and movies and 1525 01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:14,760 Speaker 2: whatever else. That's all great, but you know, when our 1526 01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:18,719 Speaker 2: founding fathers showed up in Washington, d C. To build 1527 01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:23,840 Speaker 2: this country, they were there for three months straight, just 1528 01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:26,720 Speaker 2: iron three months straight, with no break, just ironing out 1529 01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:30,240 Speaker 2: the details of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution 1530 01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:32,400 Speaker 2: and the Bill of Rights and these things, and people died. 1531 01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:36,720 Speaker 2: I mean, there were fistfights and duels and shit went 1532 01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:40,200 Speaker 2: down because it's that serious. And so I think part 1533 01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:42,840 Speaker 2: of the crisis in American culture is that we have 1534 01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:46,600 Speaker 2: passionate opinions about these things but we don't have the 1535 01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:53,200 Speaker 2: rigorous intellectual engagement that we need. And so you know, 1536 01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:57,360 Speaker 2: all I can do is provide that. All I can 1537 01:29:57,400 --> 01:29:59,200 Speaker 2: do is do my part in that and say, hey, 1538 01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:02,080 Speaker 2: I'll sit down and talk and as much detailed nuances 1539 01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:05,240 Speaker 2: as people will listen. But if people only want Instagram 1540 01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:09,080 Speaker 2: reels or TikTok reels in fifteen thirty seconds, then you 1541 01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,360 Speaker 2: get the government you deserve, and by god, we all 1542 01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:15,599 Speaker 2: will the TikTok government. TikTok government. 1543 01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:18,920 Speaker 3: All right, there you go. You filmed the last interview 1544 01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:20,599 Speaker 3: you did with our team Israel. 1545 01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:22,559 Speaker 2: Hold we gonna get back to Israel. 1546 01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:25,800 Speaker 3: Hold on, but I find this actually, elephant in the. 1547 01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:27,960 Speaker 2: Room is Israel. The elephant in the country is Israel. 1548 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:29,679 Speaker 3: I think literally, the elephant the room is the cameras 1549 01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,160 Speaker 3: right here, like the more there's another crew here. Basically, 1550 01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:35,040 Speaker 3: the last time you film with us, you actually put 1551 01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:37,679 Speaker 3: the interview online. How did that go? Tell me about the. 1552 01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:40,040 Speaker 2: Well, that was the response. It was great. 1553 01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,559 Speaker 3: Tell me about the thought process of putting these interviews 1554 01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:45,720 Speaker 3: out because you said, like the unscripted transfer, unpack this 1555 01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:46,519 Speaker 3: for me a little bit. 1556 01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,800 Speaker 2: Well, I put the full interview out and it was great. 1557 01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:53,479 Speaker 2: People loved it. People were they loved the conversation. They 1558 01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:58,360 Speaker 2: thought that it was it was it was deeper and 1559 01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:02,080 Speaker 2: more detailed old then you would normally get from a 1560 01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:05,160 Speaker 2: political candidate. Means probably it was more authentic and real, 1561 01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:08,360 Speaker 2: more honest than some of the scripted campaigns you see 1562 01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:13,719 Speaker 2: in American politics. And there were a few sound bites 1563 01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:15,800 Speaker 2: or clips from it. I think one was probably about 1564 01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:19,479 Speaker 2: six seven minutes. That must have been I don't know, 1565 01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:22,439 Speaker 2: close to a you know, seven hundred and fifty eight 1566 01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:25,720 Speaker 2: hundred thousand views on x right there in the heart 1567 01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:29,040 Speaker 2: of the campaign season, and you know, people had had 1568 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:33,160 Speaker 2: great feedback about it. So yeah, I thought of that 1569 01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:33,719 Speaker 2: that went. 1570 01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:36,280 Speaker 3: Well, that's a question, what do you plan to do 1571 01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:38,040 Speaker 3: with this footage full? 1572 01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:41,080 Speaker 2: Put it out in full? I would hope that PBS 1573 01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:43,960 Speaker 2: would be in support of that, and and maybe even 1574 01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:49,320 Speaker 2: you know, partner it or put it up on their platform. 1575 01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:51,760 Speaker 3: I'll have to ask them about that. Yeah, please, But 1576 01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:57,280 Speaker 3: but to be clear, just for my explanation, mean, we 1577 01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:00,720 Speaker 3: have been filming with you through this of the American Voice 1578 01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:03,240 Speaker 3: of program, So that's part partly the reason why I've 1579 01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:07,599 Speaker 3: been I've enjoyed following your journey this time, which I've 1580 01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:08,760 Speaker 3: been very grateful for. 1581 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,000 Speaker 2: Thank you, Mary No. I appreciate you following it. You 1582 01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:13,640 Speaker 2: do good work. And the American Voice the series is 1583 01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:17,320 Speaker 2: really cool. It's just that the things I'm talking about 1584 01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:21,800 Speaker 2: are you know. I mean, when we talk about Mackinder's 1585 01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:25,200 Speaker 2: land theory, you gotta go talk, you gotta go talk 1586 01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:27,400 Speaker 2: to your Bill Crystals in order to and it's it 1587 01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:27,880 Speaker 2: was funny. 1588 01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:30,760 Speaker 3: I'll have I'll have to do my research to my to. 1589 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,080 Speaker 2: The apropos to this point. Remember earlier I said that 1590 01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:38,160 Speaker 2: the Republican Party is proto communist, has a proto communist 1591 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:44,519 Speaker 2: wing yesday. You know, Bill Crystal's father, William Crystal, was 1592 01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:48,960 Speaker 2: a publicly admitted trotsky I. Now Bill Cristal has been 1593 01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:51,640 Speaker 2: a very prominent person in the neo conservative movement for 1594 01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:54,720 Speaker 2: a long time, and his father was considered one of 1595 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:58,559 Speaker 2: the intellectual thought leaders of the neo conservative movement. But 1596 01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:02,200 Speaker 2: he did come from a trotsky academic background, a Trotskyite 1597 01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:07,599 Speaker 2: political activism. So it's not by accident that the neo 1598 01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:12,640 Speaker 2: conservative movement, when push comes to shove, aligns with the 1599 01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:16,880 Speaker 2: neoliberal movement or what we would call the American political establishment. 1600 01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:20,479 Speaker 2: You know, like Bill Crystal did most recently when he 1601 01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:25,000 Speaker 2: doing with Mom Donnie in New York City. 1602 01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:27,400 Speaker 3: Can as about like. 1603 01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:32,680 Speaker 2: He's a communist, is my point. There are a lot 1604 01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:34,559 Speaker 2: of There are a lot of secret communists in the 1605 01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:41,160 Speaker 2: Republican Party, Trotskyites. So you know the history of Trotskyite Lenin. 1606 01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:42,960 Speaker 3: Right, yes, But I don't want to. I don't think 1607 01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:45,720 Speaker 3: that when just as a brief I don't feel like 1608 01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:47,240 Speaker 3: going there as a brief. 1609 01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:52,920 Speaker 2: When when when Lenin, when Lenin, when Lenin gave power 1610 01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:56,040 Speaker 2: to stop, when Stalin rose to power, Trotskyite was his 1611 01:33:56,760 --> 01:34:00,320 Speaker 2: was his under under guy. You know, he was second 1612 01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,920 Speaker 2: in command of the communist movement there in Russia. But 1613 01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:05,560 Speaker 2: when Stalin came to power, he turned on trotsky I, 1614 01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 2: on trotsky and the Trotskyites moved to Mexico. When the 1615 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:12,200 Speaker 2: Trotzkys moved to Mexico, they ended up very influential or 1616 01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:15,479 Speaker 2: involved in the earliest days of the neo conservative faction 1617 01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:18,200 Speaker 2: of the Republican Party. So that's how the global becomes 1618 01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:21,120 Speaker 2: the local. You would never think that the Russia, who 1619 01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:23,559 Speaker 2: we say is our arch enemy today, has a lot 1620 01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:25,799 Speaker 2: of foundations right there in the Republican Party. 1621 01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:31,639 Speaker 3: When I see you're putting full interviews up, full transfer, 1622 01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 3: full interviews, your bondste Ban show at the war Room. 1623 01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:40,759 Speaker 3: You have your own podcast. Yeah, that's been going strong 1624 01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:44,400 Speaker 3: for some time. For how long actually two years? Two years? Yeah, 1625 01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:49,960 Speaker 3: two years. I am curious about the wider Internet strategy 1626 01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:54,280 Speaker 3: you've taken, not only for your camping but just for yourself. 1627 01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:58,439 Speaker 3: I mean, I find it fascinating in terms of how 1628 01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:01,840 Speaker 3: you can be described this new media versus a legacy media, 1629 01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:03,920 Speaker 3: for example. So let's I want to open that up 1630 01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:05,960 Speaker 3: a little bit. Can you explain sort of this wider 1631 01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:09,760 Speaker 3: internet strategy, because I think it's I do think there's 1632 01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:11,519 Speaker 3: a pattern with the work they you've been doing. 1633 01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:14,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, No, I'm just getting on the record as 1634 01:35:14,640 --> 01:35:16,920 Speaker 2: much as I can, and I'm creating that record if 1635 01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:19,479 Speaker 2: I can, because I don't trust the people who have 1636 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:22,840 Speaker 2: kept the records to keep the records honestly, and I 1637 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:26,679 Speaker 2: think we've done a great job unless the big social 1638 01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:30,000 Speaker 2: media and content platforms decide to deplatform you all together 1639 01:35:30,040 --> 01:35:33,240 Speaker 2: and get rid of my content, which we do have 1640 01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,160 Speaker 2: it backed up in some places, so we will be 1641 01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:37,960 Speaker 2: able to get it up somewhere. But as so far 1642 01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:40,720 Speaker 2: as the record stands, now I've done a pretty good 1643 01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:42,760 Speaker 2: job of correcting the record on who I am and 1644 01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:45,519 Speaker 2: what I think about the most important issues of the day. 1645 01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:48,880 Speaker 2: When we live, you know, we live in an era 1646 01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:52,640 Speaker 2: where oftentimes those things are misrepresented about individuals. You know, 1647 01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:55,280 Speaker 2: the first thing people do is go to Wikipedia as 1648 01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:57,559 Speaker 2: if that's an authoritative source. I know they say they 1649 01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:01,720 Speaker 2: use authoritative sources, but when you're ortata, sources are compromised, 1650 01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:04,680 Speaker 2: like the New York Times, I mean, how authoritative are 1651 01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:09,360 Speaker 2: they really? So I've I've created a record. I've I've 1652 01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:12,840 Speaker 2: going on the record now for two straight years. I 1653 01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:16,000 Speaker 2: challenge anybody to go through two years of an hour 1654 01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:18,599 Speaker 2: and a half two hour long podcasts and find something 1655 01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:22,640 Speaker 2: that that deserves a scrutiny. Scrutiny that I couldn't answer for. 1656 01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:25,160 Speaker 2: Some things I say that are controversial, and I say 1657 01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:29,360 Speaker 2: him intentionally, and I love to debate them, but nobody really, ever, 1658 01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:32,760 Speaker 2: you know, picks up the phone and and you know, 1659 01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:34,200 Speaker 2: issues that challenge. 1660 01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:35,880 Speaker 3: Have you I was going to ask, have you tried 1661 01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:39,439 Speaker 3: to reach out to people on the other side across 1662 01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:42,439 Speaker 3: the aisle of Democrats liberals to have that kind of conversation. 1663 01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:44,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't want to debate me. They know, I know, 1664 01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:45,240 Speaker 2: who have you? Who? 1665 01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:46,240 Speaker 3: Have you requested anything? 1666 01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:48,840 Speaker 2: Oh, we've requested, Ebrius from every requested interviews with Kloba 1667 01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:50,120 Speaker 2: Shah and Tina Smith. 1668 01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:52,800 Speaker 3: And I believe you spoke on a radio show in Clo. Correct. 1669 01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:55,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you saw how that went. That was a 1670 01:36:55,320 --> 01:37:01,400 Speaker 2: bloodbath election integrity. Why were you in twenty eighteen on 1671 01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:04,320 Speaker 2: a documentary that said that the election machines can be 1672 01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:07,840 Speaker 2: hacked and now all of a sudden, it's conspiracy theory. 1673 01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:09,880 Speaker 2: She didn't have an answer for that question. She almost 1674 01:37:10,040 --> 01:37:13,280 Speaker 2: it looked like she visibly wanted to disappear. She was 1675 01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:15,600 Speaker 2: fidgeting so bad in her seat. She was so uncomfortable 1676 01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:19,160 Speaker 2: with the line of questioning or the conversation. That was 1677 01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:22,160 Speaker 2: a pretty good clip too. We probably did about three 1678 01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:24,719 Speaker 2: four million views across the Internet, not enough to change 1679 01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:27,120 Speaker 2: the election if the elections were secure. 1680 01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:35,800 Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm curious which media sources do you trust and why? 1681 01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:39,920 Speaker 2: Well, I definitely trust Steve, Definitely Trusteve Bennon in. 1682 01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:40,360 Speaker 3: The war room. 1683 01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:43,439 Speaker 2: I think Steve is probably one of the brightest political 1684 01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:49,080 Speaker 2: minds in American history, certainly in America today, and part 1685 01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:51,200 Speaker 2: of the part of the reason why is because he 1686 01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:53,280 Speaker 2: just for the most part, says it like it is. 1687 01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:57,479 Speaker 2: And he's not pandering to the Republican Party, he's not 1688 01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:02,599 Speaker 2: pandering to conservative ink, he's not pandering to some Democrat vote, 1689 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:05,720 Speaker 2: or even some populist vote for that matter. Although he 1690 01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:09,439 Speaker 2: is a you know, a self admitted populist nationalist, you know, 1691 01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:13,080 Speaker 2: crystal nationalist, MAGA patriot, he's not pandering on any of 1692 01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:15,040 Speaker 2: the issues. He just says it like he really thinks 1693 01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:17,120 Speaker 2: it is. And I think that's one of the most 1694 01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:24,200 Speaker 2: you know, one of the most one of the biggest 1695 01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:26,840 Speaker 2: things lack in our culture in America, especially from the 1696 01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:29,519 Speaker 2: commentators and from media's people who just say it like 1697 01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:32,160 Speaker 2: it is, who aren't trying to pay bills or pander 1698 01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:34,320 Speaker 2: to the people who pay bills. They're just saying this 1699 01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:36,479 Speaker 2: is what it is. They used to do that on 1700 01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:39,320 Speaker 2: a firing line PBS, Like I go back and I 1701 01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:41,680 Speaker 2: have disagreements with William Buckley on some things, and I 1702 01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:44,920 Speaker 2: think there was a great interview that everybody should go 1703 01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:49,599 Speaker 2: and watch a firing Line between William Buckley and Philis Shaffley. 1704 01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:54,320 Speaker 2: Philip Shaffley is probably regarded as the godmother of Maga. 1705 01:38:55,120 --> 01:38:59,920 Speaker 2: She was the sort of fire brand nationalist populist woman 1706 01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:05,439 Speaker 2: back in that day. And they were having an argument 1707 01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:10,360 Speaker 2: about the Panama Canal and who who rightfully has or 1708 01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:13,960 Speaker 2: should have control over the Panama Canal and what, you know, 1709 01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:17,719 Speaker 2: what action should be taken, if any, to maintain that control. 1710 01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:21,519 Speaker 2: And it's just a great representation of conservative inc William Buckley, 1711 01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:23,600 Speaker 2: who is a brilliant man, by the way, as intellectual 1712 01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:28,320 Speaker 2: as they get, and a sort of tough nose Maga 1713 01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:32,160 Speaker 2: patriot woman who won't take no for an answer but 1714 01:39:32,240 --> 01:39:36,800 Speaker 2: also understands the issues. Phyllis Shaffley. Oh, is an incredible 1715 01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:40,519 Speaker 2: discussion between William Buckley and her, and she didn't back 1716 01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:43,920 Speaker 2: off an inch. I mean, she is as tough as 1717 01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:46,800 Speaker 2: they did. And that was a great sort of representation 1718 01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:49,040 Speaker 2: of what the modern day Maga movement is really all about. 1719 01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:52,599 Speaker 2: It's like, what is America's role in the world, and 1720 01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:56,840 Speaker 2: what is American politicians or government's duty to her people 1721 01:39:56,880 --> 01:39:57,640 Speaker 2: and her citizens. 1722 01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:00,880 Speaker 3: I oft to look that up. I've seen that interview. 1723 01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:04,800 Speaker 2: Actually, William Buckley and Phillis Shaffley your podcast. 1724 01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:06,559 Speaker 3: Tell me you said. 1725 01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:10,360 Speaker 2: I only said that because again I think that there 1726 01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:13,479 Speaker 2: was a conversation at a time in this country's history 1727 01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:17,439 Speaker 2: where you know, shit was actually getting talked about, and 1728 01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:20,559 Speaker 2: I mean the real meat and potatoes. And then we 1729 01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:23,040 Speaker 2: kind of went away from it and and politics became 1730 01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:27,559 Speaker 2: more pop culture than it was about political philosophy, and 1731 01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:31,400 Speaker 2: it kind of took on the same sort of fast food, uh, 1732 01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:37,640 Speaker 2: you know, motif as as a reality TV you know, 1733 01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:39,640 Speaker 2: and in many ways, the crisis of our culture is 1734 01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:44,160 Speaker 2: that politics has become reality TV. And that's just disgusting. 1735 01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:47,040 Speaker 2: It's unsustainable, you know, culturally. 1736 01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:50,640 Speaker 3: But what you're doing is different with please call me crazy. 1737 01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:53,280 Speaker 2: Yeah no, but you know, what Steve is doing is different. Okay, 1738 01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:55,960 Speaker 2: what Bannon is doing is different. I think he's the 1739 01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:59,000 Speaker 2: tip of that spirit of just saying, hey, this is 1740 01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:01,120 Speaker 2: what the issues really are are. Let's talk about them 1741 01:41:01,160 --> 01:41:03,040 Speaker 2: for it, Like Israel, we still haven't gotten to Israel. 1742 01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:03,639 Speaker 2: We got to get there. 1743 01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:05,639 Speaker 3: But what about that show? What about your show? So 1744 01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:08,559 Speaker 3: tell me could you break it open for me? You 1745 01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:10,599 Speaker 3: said you've been working out for the past few years. 1746 01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:12,680 Speaker 3: How often do you put out a show? I mean, 1747 01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:15,160 Speaker 3: tell me a little bit more about just sometimes most 1748 01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:16,960 Speaker 3: of the time I try. I was doing Monday, Wednesday, 1749 01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,400 Speaker 3: Friday for a long time. Then I started doing the 1750 01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:23,240 Speaker 3: Saturday Morning Show live on Real America's Voice and I 1751 01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:26,599 Speaker 3: still do that every Saturday Morning live, and more recently 1752 01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:29,880 Speaker 3: I've tried to go to a daily show. Proven to 1753 01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:32,479 Speaker 3: be a little more difficult than I intended because of 1754 01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:37,920 Speaker 3: the campaign schedule, other things going on as well other obligations. 1755 01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:40,280 Speaker 3: But I plan to do a daily show, and I 1756 01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:42,160 Speaker 3: even planned to have a Sunday calling show. 1757 01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:44,240 Speaker 2: Me and Ryan have been working on getting all the 1758 01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:46,479 Speaker 2: technology set up for a Sunday calling show. I'm sure 1759 01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:48,559 Speaker 2: that's going to be fun and entertaining as well. You 1760 01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:50,160 Speaker 2: have to call in yes please. 1761 01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:54,400 Speaker 3: How has building that show and expanding it as you've 1762 01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:58,680 Speaker 3: been been How does that serve your mission? What is 1763 01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:00,599 Speaker 3: your mission when it comes to building you know? 1764 01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:03,639 Speaker 2: And for me, it's really about getting on the record 1765 01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:07,479 Speaker 2: because I've spent in my young adult life. I'm thirty 1766 01:42:07,479 --> 01:42:11,120 Speaker 2: five years old now, but since I was twenty one 1767 01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:15,280 Speaker 2: years old, I've gone through being misrepresented by the media. 1768 01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:18,760 Speaker 2: First it was with the NBA, and everybody's saying, oh, 1769 01:42:18,840 --> 01:42:21,080 Speaker 2: Royce is crazy or Royce is just afraid to fly, 1770 01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:28,000 Speaker 2: when the historical record, in this case, the actual historical 1771 01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:30,640 Speaker 2: record reflects that the NBA didn't have a mental health 1772 01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:33,360 Speaker 2: policy when I was drafted, and I helped them draft 1773 01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:35,479 Speaker 2: a mental health policy they would later put in place 1774 01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:40,120 Speaker 2: and not give me any credit for my role in 1775 01:42:40,840 --> 01:42:43,519 Speaker 2: So I guess that was kind of my first political 1776 01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:46,559 Speaker 2: victory as a young adult, and it was significant. I mean, 1777 01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:48,840 Speaker 2: the NBA is one of the most influential institutions in 1778 01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:52,160 Speaker 2: the world culturally because basketball is such a great game 1779 01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:56,960 Speaker 2: and the skill level has evolved so much. I just 1780 01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:03,479 Speaker 2: marveled what the NBA players have become today. But that 1781 01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:05,800 Speaker 2: was a real political victory for me to be able 1782 01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:10,160 Speaker 2: to stand up for the mental health conversation and eventually 1783 01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:13,439 Speaker 2: get the NBA to change their entire collective bargain and 1784 01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:16,760 Speaker 2: agreement and policy on the issue of mental health. But 1785 01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:21,439 Speaker 2: yet when you go look at the mainstream media, then 1786 01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:25,719 Speaker 2: how they talk about me in that entire situation, it's 1787 01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:28,639 Speaker 2: shorthanded to Royce White was afraid to fly and that's 1788 01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:32,759 Speaker 2: why his career was derailed. No, I sacrificed my career 1789 01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:37,280 Speaker 2: on the front end to pause the entire global corporate 1790 01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:41,840 Speaker 2: community and say the human condition is important, and it 1791 01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:44,320 Speaker 2: has to be important, and if it's not important, then 1792 01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:47,639 Speaker 2: we should just say that and move on. But let's 1793 01:43:47,680 --> 01:43:48,280 Speaker 2: not pretend. 1794 01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:54,640 Speaker 3: Could you interpret when you say the mainstream media and 1795 01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:57,280 Speaker 3: the media that you're providing people, do you interpret that 1796 01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:59,479 Speaker 3: or at least draw that distinction for us a little. 1797 01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:00,439 Speaker 2: Bit better media? 1798 01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:03,120 Speaker 3: Well, mainstream versus the new media or the media that 1799 01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:04,720 Speaker 3: you're putting out there through this show. 1800 01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:07,080 Speaker 2: Oh well, the mainstream media is all the legacy institutions 1801 01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:11,439 Speaker 2: from New York Times, the Washington Post, even over the Guardian. Uh, 1802 01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:15,680 Speaker 2: you know BBC all the way down the line. You 1803 01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:20,680 Speaker 2: got your mainstream media television channels like ABC and CNN, MSNBC, 1804 01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:25,160 Speaker 2: Fox News, Uh, you know, the Wall Street Journal, the 1805 01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:28,040 Speaker 2: New York Post. In some regards, all of those institutions 1806 01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:32,400 Speaker 2: are more or less mainstream media legacy outlets. 1807 01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:37,640 Speaker 3: And then, as how would you consider your show in 1808 01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:39,400 Speaker 3: position to say. 1809 01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:42,240 Speaker 2: My show is what they call a fly on an 1810 01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:48,720 Speaker 2: elephant's ass. Yeah, well, I mean it's just a very 1811 01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:52,200 Speaker 2: small show and the and the and the trillion dollar 1812 01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:57,320 Speaker 2: universe of the media and industrial complex. Just a little podcast, 1813 01:44:57,360 --> 01:44:59,160 Speaker 2: but it has a little bit of power because I 1814 01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:02,000 Speaker 2: speak the truth, and you know, we can we just 1815 01:45:02,120 --> 01:45:04,240 Speaker 2: continue to try and grow that that influence in that 1816 01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:09,520 Speaker 2: audience as much as we can with great institutional pushback, 1817 01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:14,280 Speaker 2: with great institutional roadblocks like YouTube, for example, when they're 1818 01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:18,160 Speaker 2: they're demonetizing and shadow banning. One of my first episodes 1819 01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:21,080 Speaker 2: of my podcast, I had Alex Jones on as a guest. 1820 01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:25,160 Speaker 2: At the time, he was still banned from twitters now 1821 01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:28,759 Speaker 2: x and uh. The entire episode was deleted and pulled 1822 01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:34,040 Speaker 2: from YouTube, which was strange because there are some interviews 1823 01:45:34,040 --> 01:45:35,920 Speaker 2: with Alex Jones that they allowed to be on YouTube, 1824 01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:37,920 Speaker 2: but they surely weren't letting minds stay on there. 1825 01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:45,000 Speaker 3: What has it been like having conversations in public by public, 1826 01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:47,800 Speaker 3: I mean broadcasted with Alex jon and Steve Bannon? Is 1827 01:45:47,960 --> 01:45:54,040 Speaker 3: these wider, bigger conservative voices and at times been accused 1828 01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:58,040 Speaker 3: of libel and and and actually successful lawsuits against Alex Jones. 1829 01:45:58,120 --> 01:45:59,160 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Israel. 1830 01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:03,680 Speaker 3: I still want to focus on the American election. That 1831 01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:07,040 Speaker 3: by that, I mean you're campaign What about Israel? 1832 01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:11,240 Speaker 2: Well, I mean the biggest the if you if you if, 1833 01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:14,680 Speaker 2: if you look at the metrics across social media, the 1834 01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:18,920 Speaker 2: most contentious issue or the hottest issue of American politics 1835 01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:21,639 Speaker 2: is Israel. I mean, so we can't even really talk 1836 01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:25,280 Speaker 2: about American elections or American political campaigns without talking about Israel, 1837 01:46:25,360 --> 01:46:29,320 Speaker 2: especially you talk about the midterms. Epstein, Marjorie Taylor Green, 1838 01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:32,240 Speaker 2: you brought it up. I just want to I just 1839 01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:33,680 Speaker 2: want to go back to it. Make sure that we 1840 01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:35,599 Speaker 2: don't run out of time, because I think it's important. 1841 01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:37,200 Speaker 2: I think might be one of the most important things 1842 01:46:37,240 --> 01:46:37,719 Speaker 2: in history. 1843 01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:39,880 Speaker 3: How about this, Let me get through these questions and 1844 01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:41,720 Speaker 3: then and then we can talk about Israel. How does 1845 01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:43,240 Speaker 3: that sound? Because I want to make sure you feel 1846 01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:46,320 Speaker 3: like you can talk about what you want to talk. Great. Okay, 1847 01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:50,839 Speaker 3: say you become Minnesota's next to us senatorial would you 1848 01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,240 Speaker 3: would you work across party lines to accomplish change? 1849 01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:56,000 Speaker 2: There are no party lines anymore. 1850 01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:57,519 Speaker 3: What do you mean by that? 1851 01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,760 Speaker 2: There are no party lines? There's only there's only there. 1852 01:46:59,880 --> 01:47:05,519 Speaker 2: There are only patriots and nationalists and globalists. There are 1853 01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:06,320 Speaker 2: no party lines. 1854 01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:10,080 Speaker 3: But there are still senators from different party perspectives. 1855 01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean on paper on for the theater. So 1856 01:47:14,320 --> 01:47:17,120 Speaker 2: are you willing there aren't There aren't a handful of 1857 01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:21,960 Speaker 2: America First unbought and paid for United States senators in 1858 01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:23,280 Speaker 2: the entire United States Senate. 1859 01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:25,760 Speaker 3: How about this? How would you collaborate with. 1860 01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:30,320 Speaker 2: Tell the truth. I'm not collaborating with traders. I'm not 1861 01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:32,559 Speaker 2: collaborating with And some people would say, well, that that 1862 01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:35,520 Speaker 2: makes you unqualified to run for the office. The prerequisite 1863 01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:38,160 Speaker 2: is that you have to become enmeshed in the corruption 1864 01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:40,639 Speaker 2: of the machine in order to be a viable candidate. 1865 01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:43,000 Speaker 2: And I think that's what's wrong with American political culture, 1866 01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:45,760 Speaker 2: is that we expect our candidates to sell out, but 1867 01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:46,680 Speaker 2: then we tell them not to. 1868 01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:49,360 Speaker 3: Collaboration is selling out. 1869 01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:53,200 Speaker 2: If, oh, if the collaboration is to undermine the fabric 1870 01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:55,440 Speaker 2: of this country and the value of citizenship. 1871 01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:58,760 Speaker 3: For sure. I'm thinking about like writing bills and like. 1872 01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:00,479 Speaker 2: Where do you think the seller and out of this 1873 01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:01,320 Speaker 2: nation happens? 1874 01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:05,880 Speaker 3: Fine, all right, I clearly you have issue with. 1875 01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:09,360 Speaker 2: The system, for sure. I have huge issues with the system. 1876 01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:12,400 Speaker 2: I have huge issues with omnibus bills. I have huge 1877 01:48:12,439 --> 01:48:15,080 Speaker 2: issues with the special interests in lobby money in DC. 1878 01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:18,320 Speaker 2: I have a huge issue with the fact that it's 1879 01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:22,240 Speaker 2: a conventional prerequisite that a United States Senate candidate has 1880 01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:26,320 Speaker 2: to have pre committed to a lobby, a special interest 1881 01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:28,880 Speaker 2: in lobby to have any chance of raising the money 1882 01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:31,840 Speaker 2: necessary to win one of these campaigns. I object to 1883 01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:35,080 Speaker 2: all of that, and I think Marjorie Taylor Green does 1884 01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:38,200 Speaker 2: too in some respects. That's why she's you know, she's 1885 01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:39,599 Speaker 2: she's taken some of the action. 1886 01:48:39,479 --> 01:48:43,400 Speaker 3: That she Yet I mean, what about the amendments US Constitution. 1887 01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:45,680 Speaker 3: I mean, these are things part of the system and 1888 01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:47,960 Speaker 3: checks and balances. Executive brands, judicial brands. 1889 01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:49,720 Speaker 2: Well, that's all good. I mean, no, I don't think 1890 01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:52,200 Speaker 2: that the entire government is a wash. The way that 1891 01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,400 Speaker 2: it works as a wash. I think that the way 1892 01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:57,280 Speaker 2: that our politicians do it and the way that our 1893 01:48:57,360 --> 01:49:00,640 Speaker 2: American people accept it is corre and we all know 1894 01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:01,200 Speaker 2: it's corrupt. 1895 01:49:01,600 --> 01:49:07,160 Speaker 3: So how would you enter say as a wait a second, 1896 01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:09,440 Speaker 3: Wait a second, this is the heresy of democracy. 1897 01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:11,920 Speaker 2: Remember last time we talked, I think I talked about 1898 01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:15,880 Speaker 2: the heresy of democracy. That there are four great There 1899 01:49:15,880 --> 01:49:23,480 Speaker 2: are four great heresies of the West, the scientific method, democracy, 1900 01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:26,920 Speaker 2: computer technology, and the last and final one will be 1901 01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:30,120 Speaker 2: artificial intelligence. And when I say the heresies of the West, 1902 01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:33,000 Speaker 2: it was man's attempt to bridge the gap between themselves 1903 01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:35,439 Speaker 2: and God, that we could that we could solve the 1904 01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:38,799 Speaker 2: equation that would ultimately make man God. 1905 01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:41,559 Speaker 3: So you've taken issue with all these with these four Yes. 1906 01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:46,160 Speaker 2: Now, the key one in that is again the scientific method, democracy, 1907 01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:52,160 Speaker 2: computer technology, and artificial intelligence. You're against democracy, the heresy 1908 01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:54,320 Speaker 2: of democracy. I'm against the heresy of it. 1909 01:49:55,080 --> 01:49:56,240 Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm confused. 1910 01:49:56,240 --> 01:49:59,160 Speaker 2: I guess the heresy of democracy is that all democratic 1911 01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:03,800 Speaker 2: majorities are made equal and righteous. It's not true. All 1912 01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:06,439 Speaker 2: democratic majorities are not made equal, and they certainly aren't 1913 01:50:06,479 --> 01:50:09,519 Speaker 2: made righteous. If we look across history, it's more often 1914 01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:12,880 Speaker 2: that a democratic majority, or that a majority of any 1915 01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:17,280 Speaker 2: sort is a reflection of is a reflection of its 1916 01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:23,080 Speaker 2: own ineptitude. Yeah. No, I mean if you look across 1917 01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:25,879 Speaker 2: history and you say, when was the time where mankind 1918 01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:29,360 Speaker 2: or or humanity really had a good grasp of things? 1919 01:50:29,560 --> 01:50:34,080 Speaker 2: Not often? So when does make Gandhi used to say this. 1920 01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:40,280 Speaker 2: Gandhi used to say, there's a real falsity to multiply propagation. 1921 01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:43,559 Speaker 2: Just because a majority of people say a thing doesn't 1922 01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:46,439 Speaker 2: make it true. Certainly doesn't make it righteous. So there's 1923 01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:50,600 Speaker 2: a heresy in that we in Western society have agreed 1924 01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:55,200 Speaker 2: that if we have a fifty one plus majority, then 1925 01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:57,679 Speaker 2: it means we did the right thing. That was a heresy, 1926 01:50:57,800 --> 01:50:59,960 Speaker 2: It's a heresy of the West, and it continues to 1927 01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:01,000 Speaker 2: plague us to this day. 1928 01:51:01,400 --> 01:51:03,240 Speaker 3: I think part of the reason why I'm my point. 1929 01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:05,000 Speaker 2: Bringing that up is the United States Senate is a 1930 01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:10,519 Speaker 2: Democrat majority body. Yes, there has to be a majority 1931 01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:12,800 Speaker 2: in order to get bills passed. And that's part of 1932 01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:16,320 Speaker 2: the insulation of the corruption. That one man can't stand 1933 01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:18,599 Speaker 2: up in the United States Senate and force the other 1934 01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:21,040 Speaker 2: the United States Senators, to do the right thing. But 1935 01:51:21,120 --> 01:51:22,080 Speaker 2: we can tell the truth. 1936 01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:23,960 Speaker 3: Is that called checks and balances. 1937 01:51:23,600 --> 01:51:25,439 Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, that's what they can That's what they say. 1938 01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:26,760 Speaker 3: I guess let's put it this way. 1939 01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:28,320 Speaker 2: That's what they call it. That's what they say. It 1940 01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:32,120 Speaker 2: is checks and balances. It's more like purveyors of the 1941 01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:32,760 Speaker 2: status quo. 1942 01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:35,400 Speaker 3: Let me bring it down to the film, or at 1943 01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:38,280 Speaker 3: least myself here. The reason why American Voice is the 1944 01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:42,840 Speaker 3: reason why I continue to get building is because of 1945 01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:46,560 Speaker 3: not necessarily the heresy of democracy, but the hope of democracy. 1946 01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:49,200 Speaker 3: That is, that is the number of people we've been 1947 01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:52,240 Speaker 3: following across country to put in a vote yes towards 1948 01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:55,280 Speaker 3: their beliefs and under a country that they feel that 1949 01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:56,880 Speaker 3: they have a democratic vote for. 1950 01:51:57,080 --> 01:51:59,400 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not saying that there isn't hope in democracy. 1951 01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:02,360 Speaker 2: I'm saying that there is heresy in it, and that 1952 01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:07,280 Speaker 2: right now the heresy is the prevailing it has prevailed. 1953 01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:11,160 Speaker 2: The hope of democracy has yet to prevail. The hope 1954 01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:14,000 Speaker 2: of democracy still exists, It's still there, but it has 1955 01:52:14,080 --> 01:52:16,479 Speaker 2: yet to prevail. And it certainly has yet to prevail 1956 01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:18,200 Speaker 2: in the United States, Senate. 1957 01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:22,639 Speaker 1: Tireget dot com where convenience meets the road. Why make 1958 01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:26,919 Speaker 1: buy entires complicated with tireget dot com. It's simple tireget 1959 01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:29,880 Speaker 1: dot com, one site, a few clicks, and the tires 1960 01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:32,439 Speaker 1: of your choice are shipped to an installer right by 1961 01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:33,240 Speaker 1: your house. 1962 01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:45,599 Speaker 3: In the lieu of said democracy. What is your plan 1963 01:52:45,760 --> 01:52:48,280 Speaker 3: if you don't get the nomination for this? 1964 01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:50,839 Speaker 2: For this coming Senate, I'm going to win a nomination. 1965 01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:57,400 Speaker 2: All things fair, I'm winning the nomination. The Minnesota Republican 1966 01:52:57,400 --> 01:53:00,400 Speaker 2: Party has gone maga and there's nothing anybody can do it. 1967 01:53:00,560 --> 01:53:02,599 Speaker 2: They have to cheat me, and I don't. I don't 1968 01:53:02,600 --> 01:53:03,600 Speaker 2: put it past them cheat me. 1969 01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:08,200 Speaker 3: I mean, what about that Republican form It seemed like 1970 01:53:08,200 --> 01:53:09,880 Speaker 3: there was a lot of pushback. 1971 01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:12,080 Speaker 2: On did it seem like there was a lot of pushback. 1972 01:53:12,200 --> 01:53:15,520 Speaker 3: It seemed like there was a big conversation, maybe some disagreement. 1973 01:53:15,080 --> 01:53:17,800 Speaker 2: In there, there wasn't any pushback. I said what I said, 1974 01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:19,559 Speaker 2: and they all sat there and listened because they knew 1975 01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:24,320 Speaker 2: it was true. Another example of the heresy of democracy. Right, 1976 01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:26,880 Speaker 2: me up there with nine other men, but in the 1977 01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:28,519 Speaker 2: face of the truth, they ought to sit there and 1978 01:53:28,520 --> 01:53:31,519 Speaker 2: take it because they knew. They knew they faced a 1979 01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:35,800 Speaker 2: person who understood and would never back down. So they 1980 01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:39,320 Speaker 2: cut my mic. But I still talk, didn't I? I did, Yes, 1981 01:53:39,400 --> 01:53:40,960 Speaker 2: I did. And that's exactly what I would do in 1982 01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,639 Speaker 2: the Senate. And that doesn't mean that all one hundred 1983 01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:46,120 Speaker 2: United States Senators would choose not to sell out the 1984 01:53:46,160 --> 01:53:49,080 Speaker 2: American people, but then at least American people would have 1985 01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:51,000 Speaker 2: a voice within the Senate that's going to tell them 1986 01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:52,720 Speaker 2: the truth, and there's value to that. 1987 01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:57,160 Speaker 3: What are the next events of your campaign?

But you know, my 2022 01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:47,080 Speaker 2: campaign is not about My campaign is not so much 2023 01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:52,280 Speaker 2: about that kind of thing. You know. It's about the truth, man, 2024 01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:54,720 Speaker 2: It's about the truth, telling people the issues. If this 2025 01:55:54,800 --> 01:55:58,320 Speaker 2: interview is what my campaign is about. This right here, 2026 01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:01,600 Speaker 2: what we're doing right now, articulation of the ideas, the 2027 01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:09,919 Speaker 2: rigorous intellectual dissection of of of our philosophy in Western society, 2028 01:56:09,960 --> 01:56:11,720 Speaker 2: and what we're going to do going forward, how we 2029 01:56:11,720 --> 01:56:14,080 Speaker 2: even think about things, how we even frame the questions. 2030 01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:16,720 Speaker 2: What should we be asking, what should we be demanding 2031 01:56:16,760 --> 01:56:18,880 Speaker 2: of our political candidates? What's the right way to be 2032 01:56:18,960 --> 01:56:21,400 Speaker 2: involved in the political process? What is mean to have 2033 01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:25,400 Speaker 2: to be a citizen civic duty? You know, these are 2034 01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:28,200 Speaker 2: the things that I'm interested in, and that's not for everybody. 2035 01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:32,040 Speaker 2: It's a somewhat lonely road, but one that you know 2036 01:56:32,200 --> 01:56:35,160 Speaker 2: needs to needs to be journeyed down anyway. 2037 01:56:35,400 --> 01:56:37,720 Speaker 3: To ground it in this like well, that's the last 2038 01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:42,800 Speaker 3: question to ground it in the framework of the project. 2039 01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:46,680 Speaker 3: The American Voices project. Since the change on the streets 2040 01:56:47,200 --> 01:56:52,000 Speaker 3: that March Black forth, how have you grown or changed 2041 01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:57,880 Speaker 3: as an individual since that compelling, powerful work. 2042 01:57:01,040 --> 01:57:04,600 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're not a completely different person five 2043 01:57:04,680 --> 01:57:08,040 Speaker 2: or six years later, then you've probably failed at life. 2044 01:57:09,520 --> 01:57:21,400 Speaker 2: So I'm completely different, evolved, more advanced, more courageous than 2045 01:57:21,480 --> 01:57:25,120 Speaker 2: I was even then, because it's easy to stand up 2046 01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:26,920 Speaker 2: and lead a peaceful protests in the heart of the 2047 01:57:26,960 --> 01:57:30,360 Speaker 2: George Floyd situation. In some sense, it wasn't easy to 2048 01:57:30,360 --> 01:57:31,920 Speaker 2: do it the way that I did it, or say 2049 01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:35,880 Speaker 2: the things that I said. But overall, the momentum is 2050 01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:39,160 Speaker 2: on the side of the people in that George Floyd 2051 01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:45,160 Speaker 2: twenty twenty situation environment. To run against the entire weight 2052 01:57:45,200 --> 01:57:48,960 Speaker 2: of the American political elite, that's dangerous. 2053 01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:53,080 Speaker 3: You called for change, then have you seen progress with 2054 01:57:53,120 --> 01:57:55,160 Speaker 3: that change? 2055 01:57:55,480 --> 01:57:55,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? 2056 01:57:55,840 --> 01:57:56,600 Speaker 3: Of course. 2057 01:57:58,200 --> 01:58:03,080 Speaker 2: Well, I think the advent of social media has at 2058 01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:06,400 Speaker 2: least opened up a political dialogue in this country that 2059 01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:10,560 Speaker 2: is still taking shape, but it's open, and you know, 2060 01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:14,840 Speaker 2: more than ever, people are contributing a lot. And in that, 2061 01:58:16,040 --> 01:58:22,400 Speaker 2: you know, in that they are experimenting, and people are 2062 01:58:24,040 --> 01:58:27,960 Speaker 2: saying things that are unconventional, and that's good. That's good, 2063 01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:33,120 Speaker 2: you know, scientific heresy of scientific method. There isn't a 2064 01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:38,400 Speaker 2: scientific consensus. Science is supposed to be experiment, trial there, 2065 01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:41,000 Speaker 2: you know, check and so on and so forth. And 2066 01:58:41,080 --> 01:58:43,200 Speaker 2: it's the same thing in the conversation, same thing in 2067 01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:46,400 Speaker 2: the culture is people should be testing the boundaries of 2068 01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:50,520 Speaker 2: culture and ideas and saying, well, what about this, and 2069 01:58:50,600 --> 01:58:53,760 Speaker 2: maybe those things take root, maybe they don't. President Trump's 2070 01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:56,760 Speaker 2: certainly did. That's why, that's why he won the narrative 2071 01:58:57,200 --> 01:58:58,200 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. 2072 01:58:59,280 --> 01:59:01,800 Speaker 3: To be fair in science, at least you can test 2073 01:59:01,840 --> 01:59:06,400 Speaker 3: an experiment and do well to prove H two O is. 2074 01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:11,400 Speaker 2: To a degree, to a degree, there is some verifiable science. 2075 01:59:11,440 --> 01:59:14,320 Speaker 2: There's a lot of science that we say is verifiable 2076 01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:18,400 Speaker 2: or safe or sure that isn't so sure, because if 2077 01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:21,040 Speaker 2: it was, we probably wouldn't have had a virus breakout 2078 01:59:21,080 --> 01:59:22,080 Speaker 2: of a lab there in Wuhan. 2079 01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:26,640 Speaker 3: Right, last question, because I want to make sure you 2080 01:59:26,680 --> 01:59:27,400 Speaker 3: get to Israel. 2081 01:59:27,480 --> 01:59:29,960 Speaker 2: Okay, remember now you want to get to Israel. You 2082 01:59:30,040 --> 01:59:34,600 Speaker 2: asked me about Marthore Taylor Green and Epstein. Yeah, because 2083 01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:37,200 Speaker 2: I just want to answer it. Okay, Okay, all right, 2084 01:59:38,760 --> 01:59:41,080 Speaker 2: let me be clear, I'm not stump speeching about israel 2085 01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:43,560 Speaker 2: I talk about it so much. I'm exhausted, but we 2086 01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:45,520 Speaker 2: are here in PBS and might as well. 2087 01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:48,960 Speaker 3: I am curious. Did you vote for President Trump in 2088 01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:52,040 Speaker 3: twenty eight for twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen. 2089 01:59:51,760 --> 01:59:54,000 Speaker 2: In twenty sixteen? No, I didn't vote it all in twenty sixteen. 2090 01:59:54,760 --> 01:59:56,160 Speaker 2: I was living in Canada at the time. 2091 01:59:56,360 --> 01:59:58,160 Speaker 3: Why oh, I didn't? Could you like pack? 2092 01:59:58,640 --> 02:00:01,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? I was playing professional basket ball and kent in London, 2093 02:00:01,080 --> 02:00:03,320 Speaker 2: Ontario in twenty sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen. 2094 02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:07,120 Speaker 3: And what you were seeing from afar looking into what 2095 02:00:07,280 --> 02:00:11,520 Speaker 3: was happening here? How did that shape then to what 2096 02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:12,000 Speaker 3: it is now? 2097 02:00:12,200 --> 02:00:14,040 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you this. I thought that Hillary was 2098 02:00:14,440 --> 02:00:17,320 Speaker 2: corrupt in I thought that President Trump made some great 2099 02:00:17,360 --> 02:00:20,120 Speaker 2: points about Hillary Clinton. Then if you asked anybody in 2100 02:00:20,160 --> 02:00:22,520 Speaker 2: my family, my mom, or anybody else at the time, 2101 02:00:22,560 --> 02:00:25,240 Speaker 2: I was staying, then, hey, you know, you may not 2102 02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:27,400 Speaker 2: like the way President Trump is going about it or 2103 02:00:27,440 --> 02:00:30,160 Speaker 2: doing it, but when he says all of your donors 2104 02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:33,200 Speaker 2: take the same tax cuts I do, that was like 2105 02:00:33,240 --> 02:00:35,360 Speaker 2: a gut punch to the entire status quo. 2106 02:00:35,440 --> 02:00:37,920 Speaker 3: There Also, I'm confused. I'm you're an American citizen. Why 2107 02:00:37,960 --> 02:00:38,640 Speaker 3: didn't you vote? 2108 02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:46,360 Speaker 2: You know, I don't know if you should be able 2109 02:00:46,400 --> 02:00:50,920 Speaker 2: to vote if you're living in another country. 2110 02:00:51,120 --> 02:00:54,440 Speaker 3: That being said, people who are in other countries. 2111 02:00:54,400 --> 02:00:56,000 Speaker 2: American citizens, they vote like for. 2112 02:00:55,920 --> 02:00:58,560 Speaker 3: Example, I weren'ting abroad for some of the elections. I 2113 02:00:58,760 --> 02:01:00,240 Speaker 3: threw my vote because act. 2114 02:01:00,360 --> 02:01:06,880 Speaker 2: At the time, you know it, I just didn't feel 2115 02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:09,400 Speaker 2: comfortable with it. I didn't feel comfortable with. 2116 02:01:11,160 --> 02:01:11,320 Speaker 3: You know. 2117 02:01:11,400 --> 02:01:15,640 Speaker 2: No. No, Now, I turned eighteen right after President Obama 2118 02:01:15,800 --> 02:01:17,400 Speaker 2: was elected in on nine, so that would have been 2119 02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:19,800 Speaker 2: the first election I could have voted. I couldn't. I 2120 02:01:19,840 --> 02:01:21,360 Speaker 2: couldn't vote in it, But that would have been the 2121 02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:23,800 Speaker 2: first time I was even eighteen years old. 2122 02:01:24,760 --> 02:01:26,120 Speaker 3: We made a point not to vote. 2123 02:01:27,920 --> 02:01:31,320 Speaker 2: In twenty twelve, I didn't vote either. 2124 02:01:32,800 --> 02:01:34,560 Speaker 3: Okay, this is fascinating. 2125 02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:37,240 Speaker 2: Sometimes well sometimes people should have stained their vote. 2126 02:01:38,440 --> 02:01:40,240 Speaker 3: But why did you not vote? 2127 02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:43,919 Speaker 2: Oh, I'll tell you. In twenty twelve and Obama's second term, 2128 02:01:45,400 --> 02:01:49,240 Speaker 2: I was already hip to Barack Obama and Mitt Romney 2129 02:01:49,280 --> 02:01:54,000 Speaker 2: was a complete and other, uh embarrassment, So I have 2130 02:01:54,040 --> 02:01:57,160 Speaker 2: stained my vote. Then twenty sixteen, I wasn't living in 2131 02:01:57,160 --> 02:01:59,320 Speaker 2: the country. I think it. I don't think it's appropriate 2132 02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:02,640 Speaker 2: to be living in another country full time and cast 2133 02:02:02,680 --> 02:02:04,839 Speaker 2: a ballot in this country, even though I'm a citizen. 2134 02:02:06,760 --> 02:02:09,400 Speaker 2: I don't know. I just don't think that that's right. 2135 02:02:10,440 --> 02:02:12,200 Speaker 2: I didn't think it was right at the time. Maybe 2136 02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:15,600 Speaker 2: now the question like so as that was my thought 2137 02:02:15,640 --> 02:02:19,200 Speaker 2: process is like, Hey, I'm living in Canada full time. 2138 02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:23,840 Speaker 2: You know, maybe I shouldn't. You know, but you weren't 2139 02:02:23,880 --> 02:02:26,640 Speaker 2: able to vote in Canadian elections. No, no, no, no, 2140 02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:28,760 Speaker 2: I didn't try to vote in Canadian elections. Maybe they 2141 02:02:28,800 --> 02:02:30,880 Speaker 2: would have let me. I don't know how good secure 2142 02:02:30,920 --> 02:02:35,080 Speaker 2: the Canadians has missed, but not don't not really my issue, 2143 02:02:35,200 --> 02:02:38,280 Speaker 2: right unless we annex Canada, then then we'll deal with 2144 02:02:38,280 --> 02:02:39,320 Speaker 2: their election integrity. 2145 02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:44,839 Speaker 3: Next, let's return to the Epstein files and Marjorie Taylor police. 2146 02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:49,000 Speaker 3: It has become these uh, And that's not just these two. 2147 02:02:49,080 --> 02:02:53,280 Speaker 3: It's a pattern within the Republican Party where there's concerns 2148 02:02:53,320 --> 02:02:58,800 Speaker 3: about Trump been feeling like he is open to releasing 2149 02:02:58,840 --> 02:03:02,640 Speaker 3: all the files its earnestness, as well as Marjorie Taylor 2150 02:03:02,720 --> 02:03:09,080 Speaker 3: Green's argument and perspective that he is not America first anymore. 2151 02:03:09,600 --> 02:03:10,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2152 02:03:10,280 --> 02:03:15,240 Speaker 3: So, I'm curious where you sit in the landscape of 2153 02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:17,280 Speaker 3: these issues happening within the revolting party. 2154 02:03:17,760 --> 02:03:22,720 Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this. When I first ran for office 2155 02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:27,480 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, I was running for Congressional District 2156 02:03:27,480 --> 02:03:33,520 Speaker 2: five and I got a call from the Washington Post 2157 02:03:33,720 --> 02:03:36,240 Speaker 2: and they asked me if I supported Marjorie Taylor Green 2158 02:03:37,680 --> 02:03:41,360 Speaker 2: and more specifically, if I supported her showing up at 2159 02:03:41,360 --> 02:03:49,240 Speaker 2: the rally of ultra white wing Nick Flintes. And at 2160 02:03:49,280 --> 02:03:51,600 Speaker 2: the time I didn't even a question. At the time, 2161 02:03:51,640 --> 02:03:53,640 Speaker 2: I didn't even know who Nick Flintes was. I asked. 2162 02:03:53,720 --> 02:03:56,360 Speaker 2: I remember asking the reporter is he Spanish or is 2163 02:03:56,360 --> 02:04:00,520 Speaker 2: he Latino or something? And she was like, no, Well, 2164 02:04:01,080 --> 02:04:03,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. S you know this is gonna. I 2165 02:04:03,160 --> 02:04:03,880 Speaker 2: don't know what he is. 2166 02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:05,640 Speaker 3: I think he's pretty clear about who he is. 2167 02:04:06,280 --> 02:04:08,440 Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's so clear about who he is, honestly, 2168 02:04:08,480 --> 02:04:12,440 Speaker 2: but that's that's neither here nor there. Obviously, he has 2169 02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:17,160 Speaker 2: Latino heritage. I think he's Italian and Latino, or she 2170 02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:20,560 Speaker 2: wouldn't have a name like Flintest anyway, so I think 2171 02:04:20,640 --> 02:04:23,760 Speaker 2: maybe Mexican. I'm not sure exactly what is his heritage is, 2172 02:04:23,800 --> 02:04:25,160 Speaker 2: but regardless, he's. 2173 02:04:24,960 --> 02:04:27,920 Speaker 3: Pretty open about his perspective of white supremacy. 2174 02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:31,800 Speaker 2: I don't think he's as open about it, as people say, explain, 2175 02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:34,040 Speaker 2: but we'll talk. We'll talk about that because I think 2176 02:04:34,080 --> 02:04:36,720 Speaker 2: Nick flint Has is an important piece of this entire 2177 02:04:36,840 --> 02:04:40,920 Speaker 2: Israel dialogue. If people, if people don't recognize that, then 2178 02:04:40,960 --> 02:04:43,720 Speaker 2: then not living in reality. There's a reason why Nick 2179 02:04:43,760 --> 02:04:46,360 Speaker 2: flint Has his podcast went number one on Spotify before 2180 02:04:46,400 --> 02:04:52,040 Speaker 2: they deplatformed him. It says something about the inertia of 2181 02:04:52,120 --> 02:04:55,200 Speaker 2: the political dialogue in this country. But anyway, at the time, 2182 02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:58,000 Speaker 2: I didn't know who Nick Fointes was, but I knew 2183 02:04:58,000 --> 02:05:01,160 Speaker 2: Marjorie from War Room. And like I said, I think 2184 02:05:01,280 --> 02:05:08,680 Speaker 2: Marjorie local crime, Yeah, like local crime in Minneapolis. There 2185 02:05:08,720 --> 02:05:09,040 Speaker 2: you go. 2186 02:05:09,960 --> 02:05:10,880 Speaker 3: I think Marjorie. 2187 02:05:11,280 --> 02:05:15,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I think Marjorie has a lot of testicular 2188 02:05:15,640 --> 02:05:19,840 Speaker 2: fortitude for a woman. Yeah, and she's shown that from 2189 02:05:19,920 --> 02:05:22,840 Speaker 2: the beginning. Do I agree with her on every issue? No? Do. 2190 02:05:22,960 --> 02:05:25,880 Speaker 2: I think she's an intellectual juggernaut. Doesn't need to be 2191 02:05:26,680 --> 02:05:30,960 Speaker 2: you know. You know, simple people can tell a big, big, 2192 02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:37,640 Speaker 2: impactful truths. And you know, I say that as a 2193 02:05:37,680 --> 02:05:44,960 Speaker 2: preface because I've always respected Marjorie and I was there 2194 02:05:44,960 --> 02:05:47,440 Speaker 2: with Marjorie the day that Steve Bannon was hauled off 2195 02:05:47,440 --> 02:05:51,800 Speaker 2: to Danbury Federal Prison. And that kangaroo witch hunt show 2196 02:05:51,880 --> 02:05:57,040 Speaker 2: trial that the Congress put on for his contempt by 2197 02:05:57,080 --> 02:06:00,720 Speaker 2: Benny Thompson and the rest of the apparat checks in 2198 02:06:00,880 --> 02:06:06,640 Speaker 2: DC and the Democrat Party Nancy Pelosi. So I just 2199 02:06:06,680 --> 02:06:09,280 Speaker 2: respect Marjorie I got love for on a personal level. 2200 02:06:10,760 --> 02:06:12,360 Speaker 2: Do I agree with her bowing out of the fight. 2201 02:06:13,640 --> 02:06:17,520 Speaker 2: Not at all, Not at all. Do I agree with 2202 02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:21,400 Speaker 2: her making her rounds on the on the Democratic nightly 2203 02:06:21,520 --> 02:06:26,600 Speaker 2: news like CNN and representing that as though CNN is 2204 02:06:26,640 --> 02:06:29,600 Speaker 2: really interested in her position rather than the you know, 2205 02:06:29,680 --> 02:06:33,240 Speaker 2: the takedown of President Trump from within because Marjorie has 2206 02:06:33,280 --> 02:06:36,080 Speaker 2: been such a close ally to him over the years. 2207 02:06:36,360 --> 02:06:39,120 Speaker 2: I'm not buying it for a second. I know exactly 2208 02:06:39,160 --> 02:06:42,560 Speaker 2: who Caitlyn Collins is, and there's nothing that Marjorie Taylor 2209 02:06:42,640 --> 02:06:45,360 Speaker 2: Green is gonna say on a show with Caitlyn Collins 2210 02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:50,680 Speaker 2: that's going to change my awareness of Caitlyn collins motivation. Now, 2211 02:06:50,680 --> 02:06:54,320 Speaker 2: what Marjorie says, we can we can debate about, and 2212 02:06:54,360 --> 02:06:56,560 Speaker 2: we'll talk about Israel and Epstein now, but do you 2213 02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:58,760 Speaker 2: know what CNN's purpose is for doing it? 2214 02:06:59,240 --> 02:06:59,520 Speaker 3: They don't. 2215 02:07:00,080 --> 02:07:05,640 Speaker 2: CNN didn't care about Epstein until it provided the possibility 2216 02:07:05,720 --> 02:07:09,720 Speaker 2: to be detrimental to President Trump's image, because if they did, 2217 02:07:09,760 --> 02:07:12,680 Speaker 2: then Epstein would have been a big deal. Since I 2218 02:07:12,680 --> 02:07:16,480 Speaker 2: don't know Bill Clinton was president, right, I mean right, 2219 02:07:16,560 --> 02:07:20,680 Speaker 2: because obviously the history of Epstein and this entire deal. 2220 02:07:21,800 --> 02:07:24,960 Speaker 3: He has a long history. He has a long has a. 2221 02:07:27,200 --> 02:07:31,360 Speaker 2: It goes back to the President Bill Clinton and President 2222 02:07:31,360 --> 02:07:35,560 Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, if if my history serves me right, was 2223 02:07:35,640 --> 02:07:38,120 Speaker 2: president when I was born in the nineteen nineties and 2224 02:07:38,240 --> 02:07:41,840 Speaker 2: ninety one, Bill Clinton was president. So we're in twenty 2225 02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:46,280 Speaker 2: twenty six. That's a longer time for Jeffrey to be 2226 02:07:46,360 --> 02:07:49,839 Speaker 2: bouncing around there. And this isn't the it's not recently 2227 02:07:49,920 --> 02:07:55,000 Speaker 2: that whispers of Epstein's transgressions, you know, surfaced people when 2228 02:07:55,040 --> 02:07:57,520 Speaker 2: you do shit like that, let me say this, when 2229 02:07:57,560 --> 02:08:00,680 Speaker 2: you do shit like Jeffrey Epstein was doing, whether the 2230 02:08:00,760 --> 02:08:03,080 Speaker 2: general public knew about it or not is one thing, 2231 02:08:03,960 --> 02:08:07,880 Speaker 2: but the political elites in this country new. More importantly, 2232 02:08:07,960 --> 02:08:11,240 Speaker 2: it's it seems clear that the intelligence community in this 2233 02:08:11,320 --> 02:08:15,120 Speaker 2: country new And for that reason, the fact that this 2234 02:08:15,280 --> 02:08:21,200 Speaker 2: is only coming up now for the Democrat media seems 2235 02:08:21,200 --> 02:08:25,160 Speaker 2: blatantly obvious that it's in its intention, its motive is 2236 02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:26,960 Speaker 2: to try and tie it to President Trump. 2237 02:08:27,240 --> 02:08:29,800 Speaker 3: I'm confused. Word Republicans the one who released more of 2238 02:08:29,840 --> 02:08:30,480 Speaker 3: the documents. 2239 02:08:30,520 --> 02:08:36,960 Speaker 2: Though true, true, But again, he's the president. He has 2240 02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:41,840 Speaker 2: the levers of power. The FBI and the the the 2241 02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:44,720 Speaker 2: d n I and all the other intelligence agencies are 2242 02:08:44,760 --> 02:08:48,400 Speaker 2: under his control currently, So for the for the files 2243 02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:52,840 Speaker 2: to not be released is uh is detrimental to his 2244 02:08:53,040 --> 02:08:55,680 Speaker 2: public approval, as it should be, and the files should 2245 02:08:55,680 --> 02:08:58,800 Speaker 2: be released in full. And I think we're set what 2246 02:08:58,920 --> 02:09:01,640 Speaker 2: in a couple of days, you know, the files, and 2247 02:09:01,720 --> 02:09:04,640 Speaker 2: I think he's asked to release all the files. We'll see. 2248 02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:07,959 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a real inflection point of American 2249 02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:12,000 Speaker 2: history here, this Epstein thing. It's not inconsequential at all, 2250 02:09:12,840 --> 02:09:15,360 Speaker 2: and it's not a hoax. And I think where I 2251 02:09:15,360 --> 02:09:17,680 Speaker 2: would part company with President Trump and his assessment of 2252 02:09:17,720 --> 02:09:21,760 Speaker 2: the whole situation is well the Epstein thing. And granted, 2253 02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:23,840 Speaker 2: he may know some things about the origins of this 2254 02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:27,280 Speaker 2: entire Epstein deal that the American public doesn't know or 2255 02:09:27,360 --> 02:09:31,880 Speaker 2: isn't allowed to know because it's classified intelligence, classified intelligence, 2256 02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:34,560 Speaker 2: which I do think it is, by the way, so 2257 02:09:34,640 --> 02:09:37,520 Speaker 2: that may be part of it. But when the American 2258 02:09:37,560 --> 02:09:41,960 Speaker 2: people want to know about a child trafficker or a 2259 02:09:42,040 --> 02:09:48,200 Speaker 2: child molestor or a pedophile of Jeffrey Epstein's reach and 2260 02:09:49,200 --> 02:09:52,960 Speaker 2: what it would appear to be political significance. There's nothing 2261 02:09:54,880 --> 02:09:57,840 Speaker 2: unwarranted about that. The American people want to know, and 2262 02:09:57,920 --> 02:10:00,600 Speaker 2: they should know, and we should have those was released. 2263 02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:02,520 Speaker 3: Well, that's one of the things that Marjorie Taylor Green 2264 02:10:02,640 --> 02:10:05,560 Speaker 3: is absolutely become a part of that. 2265 02:10:05,680 --> 02:10:08,040 Speaker 2: I just don't agree that CNN has any real interest 2266 02:10:08,120 --> 02:10:11,480 Speaker 2: in the in the you know, in the prosperity of 2267 02:10:11,520 --> 02:10:12,880 Speaker 2: this country or it's it's people. 2268 02:10:12,960 --> 02:10:14,640 Speaker 3: I'm not talking about Cna'm talking abou Marchin Rreott. 2269 02:10:14,680 --> 02:10:18,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, but my point is on behalf of the MAGA movement. 2270 02:10:18,920 --> 02:10:21,400 Speaker 2: I love Marjory Taylor Green, and I think she has 2271 02:10:21,440 --> 02:10:24,720 Speaker 2: more testicular fortitude than about ninety five percent of the 2272 02:10:24,760 --> 02:10:28,440 Speaker 2: men in the in the Congress. However, I hold people 2273 02:10:28,480 --> 02:10:30,280 Speaker 2: to a high standard. They call me the hatchet man 2274 02:10:30,280 --> 02:10:32,360 Speaker 2: in the MAGA movement for a reason. I hope people 2275 02:10:32,360 --> 02:10:34,879 Speaker 2: do a high standard and I and I don't regard 2276 02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:38,920 Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Green going through the you know, the Democrat 2277 02:10:39,160 --> 02:10:42,640 Speaker 2: media stopping grounds as being one hundred percent on the 2278 02:10:42,720 --> 02:10:45,680 Speaker 2: up and up for the Democrats. They may give her 2279 02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:49,200 Speaker 2: a platform. But it seems that the Democrat media will 2280 02:10:49,240 --> 02:10:51,640 Speaker 2: give anybody a platform who's willing to say something that 2281 02:10:51,720 --> 02:10:53,480 Speaker 2: tears at President Trump's image. 2282 02:10:53,600 --> 02:10:57,040 Speaker 3: But she left and said that she's not a part 2283 02:10:57,080 --> 02:10:59,120 Speaker 3: of the Maga movement anymore. 2284 02:10:59,200 --> 02:11:02,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, she can say that, but you know, you can't 2285 02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:07,840 Speaker 2: really if you believe in the ideas fundamentally on a 2286 02:11:07,880 --> 02:11:13,280 Speaker 2: philosophical level, you can't leave the Maga movement. It's a 2287 02:11:13,280 --> 02:11:17,800 Speaker 2: movement about the basic philosophy of our nation. It's a 2288 02:11:17,840 --> 02:11:22,480 Speaker 2: movement about the call against corruption of the political elite. Now, 2289 02:11:22,480 --> 02:11:25,080 Speaker 2: you can have problems with the MACA leaders. You can 2290 02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:27,960 Speaker 2: say President Trump is no longer a genuine MAGA leader, 2291 02:11:28,520 --> 02:11:30,720 Speaker 2: but you can't say that you've left the Maga movement, 2292 02:11:30,720 --> 02:11:33,640 Speaker 2: because the Maga movement is intrinsic to anybody who actually 2293 02:11:33,680 --> 02:11:38,040 Speaker 2: cares about the prosperity and stability of this nation. I'd 2294 02:11:38,080 --> 02:11:41,000 Speaker 2: be CAUs I'm saying I'm not an American anymore. 2295 02:11:41,240 --> 02:11:43,560 Speaker 3: I'd be curious to hear what she says to that point. 2296 02:11:43,600 --> 02:11:46,080 Speaker 2: Me, I would too, And I invite any any day 2297 02:11:46,120 --> 02:11:47,840 Speaker 2: she wants to talk about it. We could. 2298 02:11:48,120 --> 02:11:53,480 Speaker 3: That's fair, that's fair Israel, Let's talk about Israel. 2299 02:11:53,600 --> 02:11:55,760 Speaker 2: Well, I do think that Jeffrey Epstein was working with 2300 02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:56,840 Speaker 2: Israeli intelligence. 2301 02:11:56,880 --> 02:11:57,640 Speaker 3: How do you know that? 2302 02:11:58,120 --> 02:12:00,600 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, just look at his connections. If if 2303 02:12:00,640 --> 02:12:04,040 Speaker 2: I or you or anybody else President Trump, even for example, 2304 02:12:04,120 --> 02:12:08,680 Speaker 2: had the loose connections to m I six and Israeli 2305 02:12:08,760 --> 02:12:11,960 Speaker 2: intelligence that Jeffrey Epstein appears to have, we would be 2306 02:12:12,040 --> 02:12:13,920 Speaker 2: it would be a foregone conclusion that it should at 2307 02:12:14,000 --> 02:12:18,120 Speaker 2: least be considered that that Israel Israeli intelligence was involved 2308 02:12:18,320 --> 02:12:18,960 Speaker 2: working with them. 2309 02:12:18,960 --> 02:12:20,600 Speaker 3: How and too an end? What do you what is 2310 02:12:20,640 --> 02:12:21,600 Speaker 3: this story? 2311 02:12:21,880 --> 02:12:26,840 Speaker 2: I think that Massad is not afraid to transgress what 2312 02:12:26,880 --> 02:12:32,480 Speaker 2: they call international law or standards about espionage. We know 2313 02:12:32,560 --> 02:12:37,040 Speaker 2: that from our own CIA testimony agents from within the 2314 02:12:37,080 --> 02:12:43,880 Speaker 2: CIA that report that Israel's intelligence officers would routinely try 2315 02:12:43,960 --> 02:12:49,200 Speaker 2: and bug office rooms and vehicles and other things like that, 2316 02:12:49,280 --> 02:12:50,800 Speaker 2: and when they would visit America. 2317 02:12:51,560 --> 02:12:57,960 Speaker 3: I guess maybe get more specific with me about Israel. 2318 02:12:58,200 --> 02:13:02,560 Speaker 3: Are you saying that there's an filtration efforts by Israel? 2319 02:13:02,760 --> 02:13:08,080 Speaker 2: Like, don't explains infiltration infiltration effort? I think that they 2320 02:13:08,080 --> 02:13:14,040 Speaker 2: have infiltrated. I think that you know, from the broadest 2321 02:13:14,200 --> 02:13:19,560 Speaker 2: point of view, Israel is a geopolitical cornerstone of a 2322 02:13:19,600 --> 02:13:24,560 Speaker 2: globalist agenda by nature because of its strategic location energy, oil, 2323 02:13:25,000 --> 02:13:28,720 Speaker 2: the Middle East being a you know, a routine place 2324 02:13:28,800 --> 02:13:33,320 Speaker 2: that international interest can can go to and draw upon 2325 02:13:33,480 --> 02:13:39,240 Speaker 2: to foster war, conflict, change, economy, all kinds of things 2326 02:13:39,240 --> 02:13:42,360 Speaker 2: that flow through the Suez Canal for example, or the 2327 02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:45,360 Speaker 2: Middle East. So Israel is firmly a part of an 2328 02:13:45,360 --> 02:13:50,080 Speaker 2: ongoing geopolitical strategy for many, many interested parties and nations. 2329 02:13:51,040 --> 02:13:54,480 Speaker 3: How as much started as you put to Israel, how 2330 02:13:54,520 --> 02:13:57,040 Speaker 3: does it play into your world being, especially your campaign? 2331 02:13:58,120 --> 02:14:00,600 Speaker 2: Well, look, ground me a little bit. There are no 2332 02:14:01,400 --> 02:14:04,640 Speaker 2: there is no Democrat or Republican party, I tell people. 2333 02:14:05,480 --> 02:14:07,960 Speaker 3: And yet I have to like, I mean, I'm an independence, 2334 02:14:08,520 --> 02:14:11,120 Speaker 3: but people are registered Democrats, people are Publican. 2335 02:14:12,320 --> 02:14:14,680 Speaker 2: It's a fugazi, That's what I'm saying. It's it's it's a. 2336 02:14:14,800 --> 02:14:18,720 Speaker 2: It's a it's smoking mirrors, it's it's a. It's fictitious. 2337 02:14:18,800 --> 02:14:22,600 Speaker 2: Then why run because you have to represent the thing that. No, 2338 02:14:22,840 --> 02:14:23,440 Speaker 2: it's not that. 2339 02:14:23,360 --> 02:14:25,880 Speaker 3: It's under under under one side, one party. 2340 02:14:26,400 --> 02:14:34,920 Speaker 2: It's that without honest representation, it doesn't exist. The Republican Yeah, okay, 2341 02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:35,840 Speaker 2: let me I'll tell. 2342 02:14:35,680 --> 02:14:37,800 Speaker 3: You yeah again, smoother brain. 2343 02:14:38,000 --> 02:14:42,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Republican Party is not the Republican Party if 2344 02:14:42,800 --> 02:14:49,480 Speaker 2: every Republican in it is interested, is interested, you know, 2345 02:14:49,880 --> 02:14:54,000 Speaker 2: economically interested, especially interested, let's say, especially interested, special interest 2346 02:14:54,560 --> 02:14:58,520 Speaker 2: in policy that destroys a Republican form of government, the 2347 02:14:58,560 --> 02:15:01,600 Speaker 2: guarantee of a Republican form of government, or the philosophy 2348 02:15:01,600 --> 02:15:06,440 Speaker 2: of republicanism, the philosophy of republicanism. And this is what 2349 02:15:06,520 --> 02:15:08,760 Speaker 2: I tell people about why I'm running as a Republican. 2350 02:15:09,960 --> 02:15:13,120 Speaker 2: Two things. The Republican Party is the only political party 2351 02:15:13,120 --> 02:15:18,000 Speaker 2: that at least pretends to accept some room for God 2352 02:15:18,040 --> 02:15:21,680 Speaker 2: and Jesus Christ. Culturally, the Democrat Party as a political 2353 02:15:21,680 --> 02:15:26,320 Speaker 2: platform has all but rejected God and even mocked Christianity 2354 02:15:26,360 --> 02:15:30,760 Speaker 2: as nothing more than conspiracy theory, fantasy, or, in more 2355 02:15:30,840 --> 02:15:36,920 Speaker 2: modern terms, a singer representation of white supremacy. Christian Democrats, No, 2356 02:15:36,960 --> 02:15:39,320 Speaker 2: they're not a lot of Christian Democrats, because if you're 2357 02:15:39,320 --> 02:15:42,360 Speaker 2: a Christian, if you're a Christian, you don't let people 2358 02:15:42,400 --> 02:15:45,920 Speaker 2: mock christ You don't let people claim that Christianity is 2359 02:15:46,360 --> 02:15:49,640 Speaker 2: a quack or conspiracy theory. That's deeply offensive. 2360 02:15:49,680 --> 02:15:54,400 Speaker 3: Who said that? Who said that? Well, I guess many 2361 02:15:54,520 --> 02:15:58,440 Speaker 3: Democrat pundits have said that over the last I don't know. 2362 02:15:58,800 --> 02:16:01,960 Speaker 2: Ten to fifteen years, many Democrats have said. 2363 02:16:01,840 --> 02:16:03,040 Speaker 3: I'm just saying that there are probably a lot of 2364 02:16:03,080 --> 02:16:05,200 Speaker 3: Christian Democrats who take issue with what you're saying. 2365 02:16:05,240 --> 02:16:07,280 Speaker 2: Oh, there are a lot of Christian Democrats that will 2366 02:16:07,320 --> 02:16:11,440 Speaker 2: pretend that the Democratic Party hasn't become hasn't become a 2367 02:16:11,480 --> 02:16:14,840 Speaker 2: party that rejects that fundamentally rejects christ There certainly are 2368 02:16:14,840 --> 02:16:16,680 Speaker 2: a lot of Christian Democrats who would say that, like 2369 02:16:16,800 --> 02:16:21,600 Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi says she's a Christian, but she's aligned with 2370 02:16:21,600 --> 02:16:25,200 Speaker 2: the political party that fundamentally rejects the cultural idea or 2371 02:16:25,240 --> 02:16:26,960 Speaker 2: significance or importance of God. 2372 02:16:28,240 --> 02:16:30,720 Speaker 3: I don't think that's in the mission of being a Democrat. 2373 02:16:31,040 --> 02:16:32,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not paying attention. 2374 02:16:33,560 --> 02:16:34,640 Speaker 3: How am I not paying attention? 2375 02:16:34,760 --> 02:16:40,680 Speaker 2: Okay, well, let's put it this way. When I hear 2376 02:16:42,280 --> 02:16:44,959 Speaker 2: let's say The View, for example, which is the most 2377 02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:49,560 Speaker 2: watched daytime television show in America or close up there, 2378 02:16:49,560 --> 02:16:52,640 Speaker 2: at least amongst the women demographic, then you have people 2379 02:16:52,720 --> 02:16:56,400 Speaker 2: like Joy Behart and Whoope Goldberg make the claim that 2380 02:16:57,120 --> 02:17:03,080 Speaker 2: we need to be cautious of this Christian movement in America, 2381 02:17:03,160 --> 02:17:08,520 Speaker 2: that Christianity creates radicals, or that Christo nationalism is a 2382 02:17:08,600 --> 02:17:15,120 Speaker 2: dangerous political philosophy, and that really Christianity is more or 2383 02:17:15,240 --> 02:17:21,439 Speaker 2: less fantasy. It's not rooted in anything real. The Bible's 2384 02:17:21,520 --> 02:17:25,920 Speaker 2: not real, Jesus Christ is not really God, God isn't real. 2385 02:17:26,280 --> 02:17:32,840 Speaker 2: There's a significant thread of secular humanism and scientism in 2386 02:17:32,920 --> 02:17:36,960 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party and because of it, there is a 2387 02:17:37,080 --> 02:17:41,359 Speaker 2: very strong cultural sentiment in the Democrat party and platform 2388 02:17:41,640 --> 02:17:45,600 Speaker 2: that Christianity has become a danger to American culture, which 2389 02:17:45,640 --> 02:17:50,840 Speaker 2: is why prayer in schools or you know, football coaches 2390 02:17:50,840 --> 02:17:54,279 Speaker 2: baptizing their players is regarded as fascism. 2391 02:17:54,480 --> 02:17:56,360 Speaker 3: Well, I mean separation of church and state. I think 2392 02:17:56,360 --> 02:17:59,320 Speaker 3: that's pretty solid. Sure, yeah, you can separate the church 2393 02:17:59,320 --> 02:18:02,520 Speaker 3: and state. That doesn't mean that there's not a utility 2394 02:18:02,600 --> 02:18:05,760 Speaker 3: or usefulness to prayer or common good values. See the 2395 02:18:06,320 --> 02:18:08,600 Speaker 3: gaff about well that's the difference between public schools and 2396 02:18:08,600 --> 02:18:12,080 Speaker 3: Catholic schools and Christian schools. Come on, I. 2397 02:18:12,080 --> 02:18:15,400 Speaker 2: Mean, so our money is good enough for God, but 2398 02:18:15,440 --> 02:18:16,520 Speaker 2: our schools aren't. 2399 02:18:18,440 --> 02:18:22,520 Speaker 3: There's still there's still the freedom to. 2400 02:18:22,480 --> 02:18:25,000 Speaker 2: Have it should be and it should be the freedom. Okay, 2401 02:18:25,560 --> 02:18:31,280 Speaker 2: A good example is this The transgender and lgbt Q 2402 02:18:31,879 --> 02:18:37,959 Speaker 2: ideology has become almost religious, religiously practiced and taught in 2403 02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:43,400 Speaker 2: the public schools. So why can you have teachers teach 2404 02:18:43,480 --> 02:18:48,280 Speaker 2: about lgbt Q, which is completely unscientific, but you can't 2405 02:18:48,280 --> 02:18:50,080 Speaker 2: have a teacher pray at the school. 2406 02:18:50,320 --> 02:18:52,680 Speaker 3: I guess I'm just saying that a lot of lgbt 2407 02:18:52,840 --> 02:18:56,640 Speaker 3: Q plus people would take like wide offense to what 2408 02:18:56,680 --> 02:18:59,680 Speaker 3: you just said. Why because of who they are and 2409 02:18:59,720 --> 02:19:00,640 Speaker 3: how perceived? 2410 02:19:00,720 --> 02:19:04,160 Speaker 2: But Christians wouldn't. I'm sorry, but Christians wouldn't. Why can't 2411 02:19:04,160 --> 02:19:06,800 Speaker 2: we pray in schools, but we can teach young men 2412 02:19:06,879 --> 02:19:11,480 Speaker 2: to transition to become young women. You regard one as 2413 02:19:11,480 --> 02:19:14,039 Speaker 2: a religion and one is not. What makes it a religion? 2414 02:19:15,600 --> 02:19:27,960 Speaker 2: What makes a religion or religion of organization? Organization, ritual, outfit, costuming, brigalia, documents, philosophy. 2415 02:19:28,080 --> 02:19:30,240 Speaker 3: But they're people who are openly gay and openly lesbian. 2416 02:19:30,320 --> 02:19:33,879 Speaker 3: Trump has been supportive of the lgbt communications campaigns in 2417 02:19:33,879 --> 02:19:36,440 Speaker 3: the past. I'm confused, like, what's the I don't. 2418 02:19:36,240 --> 02:19:38,880 Speaker 2: Get what's confusing the LGBTQ community. 2419 02:19:38,959 --> 02:19:41,480 Speaker 3: I don't think the philosophy is a difference between identity 2420 02:19:41,520 --> 02:19:42,680 Speaker 3: and religion. 2421 02:19:43,440 --> 02:19:43,720 Speaker 2: Is there? 2422 02:19:44,160 --> 02:19:49,640 Speaker 3: Okay? One religion can be identity by identity doesn't necessarily 2423 02:19:49,720 --> 02:19:50,480 Speaker 3: have to be religion. 2424 02:19:50,600 --> 02:19:54,720 Speaker 2: Oh really, not always really, But what if your identity 2425 02:19:54,720 --> 02:19:56,959 Speaker 2: has become religious? What if it's if it's what if 2426 02:19:57,000 --> 02:20:02,600 Speaker 2: your identity is religious in your practice, in practice. 2427 02:20:02,840 --> 02:20:06,200 Speaker 3: That's I mean, I believe though that's that that can 2428 02:20:06,280 --> 02:20:08,960 Speaker 3: be for each person into them to their own, but 2429 02:20:08,959 --> 02:20:11,400 Speaker 3: for sure. But when it's LGBTQ plus, I mean, that's 2430 02:20:11,440 --> 02:20:13,800 Speaker 3: a that's the way, that's a war view, that's the 2431 02:20:14,000 --> 02:20:14,640 Speaker 3: way they see them. 2432 02:20:15,040 --> 02:20:16,879 Speaker 2: It's the same way that Christians have a right to 2433 02:20:17,160 --> 02:20:19,120 Speaker 2: view the world. We do. So if you're a published 2434 02:20:20,240 --> 02:20:23,880 Speaker 2: if you're a public school teacher and you decide, if 2435 02:20:23,920 --> 02:20:26,080 Speaker 2: you're a public school teacher and you decide to teach 2436 02:20:26,160 --> 02:20:30,240 Speaker 2: your class in world history or or whatever else English, 2437 02:20:30,480 --> 02:20:32,640 Speaker 2: and you decide to use the Bible or religion to 2438 02:20:32,680 --> 02:20:34,879 Speaker 2: do that, why is that seen as a problem. But 2439 02:20:34,920 --> 02:20:37,720 Speaker 2: it's not seen as a problem to use uh, you know, 2440 02:20:37,920 --> 02:20:44,080 Speaker 2: lgbt Q examples or whatever to teach about gender identity in. 2441 02:20:44,080 --> 02:20:46,560 Speaker 3: Terms of the Bible. Bit. All I can speak to 2442 02:20:46,720 --> 02:20:49,040 Speaker 3: is the separation of church and state aspect. That makes 2443 02:20:49,400 --> 02:20:51,959 Speaker 3: some sense to me, And I went to Catholic school 2444 02:20:51,959 --> 02:20:52,600 Speaker 3: when I was growing up. 2445 02:20:53,000 --> 02:20:56,520 Speaker 2: Only think of church. The separation of church and state 2446 02:20:56,640 --> 02:21:01,520 Speaker 2: is that the state can't have a mandated religion. Yeah, 2447 02:21:01,560 --> 02:21:04,440 Speaker 2: it does. Doesn't mean that your public school teachers can't 2448 02:21:04,480 --> 02:21:06,840 Speaker 2: teach the utility of Christianity. 2449 02:21:10,520 --> 02:21:12,600 Speaker 3: But they're not allowed to now, I mean that they shouldn't. 2450 02:21:12,680 --> 02:21:14,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I know they are allowed to now. President 2451 02:21:14,520 --> 02:21:18,320 Speaker 2: Trump made that legal again the federal level. Yeah, we 2452 02:21:18,360 --> 02:21:22,680 Speaker 2: got off track about Israel though. My point about Israel 2453 02:21:22,879 --> 02:21:27,520 Speaker 2: is this, but I think it's an important point you 2454 02:21:27,520 --> 02:21:31,360 Speaker 2: were asking me about, you know, Epstein and Israeli intelligence. 2455 02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:36,640 Speaker 2: I do think that Jeffrey Epstein was working with Israeli intelligence. 2456 02:21:37,720 --> 02:21:42,600 Speaker 2: I do think that there was a joint And you 2457 02:21:42,600 --> 02:21:43,480 Speaker 2: asked me to what end. 2458 02:21:43,760 --> 02:21:46,039 Speaker 3: I guess where's your source? I don't know. I've never 2459 02:21:46,040 --> 02:21:49,000 Speaker 3: seen this. I guess like specifically, Okay, well, I mean 2460 02:21:49,600 --> 02:21:52,600 Speaker 3: the mesade. I just haven't seen that, Like. 2461 02:21:52,959 --> 02:21:55,879 Speaker 2: You've never seen this is the connection between Epstein and 2462 02:21:55,920 --> 02:21:57,800 Speaker 2: Massad or Israeli intelligence. 2463 02:21:58,760 --> 02:22:01,480 Speaker 3: I guess I haven't study as much as you have 2464 02:22:01,560 --> 02:22:01,880 Speaker 3: on Well. 2465 02:22:02,040 --> 02:22:06,080 Speaker 2: His his his sidekick in crime, who may have in 2466 02:22:06,080 --> 02:22:08,080 Speaker 2: fact been the architect of the whole deal, or may 2467 02:22:08,120 --> 02:22:13,720 Speaker 2: have been his control instain. Maxwell's father, George Maxwell, was 2468 02:22:14,600 --> 02:22:17,879 Speaker 2: on the record of working with Israeli intelligence. So just 2469 02:22:17,920 --> 02:22:24,400 Speaker 2: even there, fundamentally he was an Israeli intelligence asset. 2470 02:22:25,920 --> 02:22:29,640 Speaker 3: So are you implicating the Israeli government for something specifically 2471 02:22:29,640 --> 02:22:30,680 Speaker 3: with Epstein? Is that No? 2472 02:22:30,760 --> 02:22:33,400 Speaker 2: I think that. Yeah. I think that the entire Epstein 2473 02:22:34,800 --> 02:22:39,279 Speaker 2: situation project, uh, you know, the entire. 2474 02:22:39,080 --> 02:22:42,240 Speaker 3: Epstein trafficking of young girls, et cetera. 2475 02:22:43,240 --> 02:22:45,440 Speaker 2: That Epstein was able to operate the way that he 2476 02:22:45,600 --> 02:22:49,080 Speaker 2: was with the help of intelligence agencies, and it probably 2477 02:22:49,360 --> 02:22:54,000 Speaker 2: it may have been a conjunction of agencies including uh Massade, 2478 02:22:54,040 --> 02:22:55,960 Speaker 2: but also the c I A and m I six 2479 02:22:56,040 --> 02:22:58,760 Speaker 2: as well or the Five Eyes more broadly. Maybe we 2480 02:22:58,840 --> 02:22:59,200 Speaker 2: don't know. 2481 02:23:00,080 --> 02:23:02,959 Speaker 3: But where's your sourcing to even conclude that. 2482 02:23:02,879 --> 02:23:04,480 Speaker 2: Well, I just say, I mean, just look at the 2483 02:23:04,520 --> 02:23:07,120 Speaker 2: history of Gislain Maxwell and her father. Her father was 2484 02:23:07,120 --> 02:23:08,279 Speaker 2: an intelligence asset. 2485 02:23:08,560 --> 02:23:10,720 Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean they're like, does not proof? 2486 02:23:10,760 --> 02:23:14,160 Speaker 2: I guess that it does seem it does seem precarious 2487 02:23:14,360 --> 02:23:17,640 Speaker 2: that that Epstein was able to operate and deal with 2488 02:23:17,680 --> 02:23:20,200 Speaker 2: the level of individuals that he was with impunity for 2489 02:23:20,240 --> 02:23:20,959 Speaker 2: so long. 2490 02:23:21,080 --> 02:23:23,480 Speaker 3: A suspicion lead to guilt. 2491 02:23:23,680 --> 02:23:25,640 Speaker 2: No, No, not at all. I'm not saying that there's 2492 02:23:25,840 --> 02:23:28,320 Speaker 2: that there's a hard proof. But like I said earlier 2493 02:23:28,320 --> 02:23:34,440 Speaker 2: about Edward Snowden, UH, sometimes it our intelligence community, our 2494 02:23:34,440 --> 02:23:36,480 Speaker 2: government has made it so that in order to find 2495 02:23:36,480 --> 02:23:40,640 Speaker 2: the evidence you need to prove the wrongdoing or corruption 2496 02:23:40,800 --> 02:23:43,760 Speaker 2: is actually made illegal. That's why Edward Snowden is not 2497 02:23:43,800 --> 02:23:48,199 Speaker 2: living in America today. The intelligence, the intelligent, the entail 2498 02:23:49,440 --> 02:23:54,279 Speaker 2: of our government surveilling us with the with the Patriot 2499 02:23:54,320 --> 02:23:57,720 Speaker 2: Act under the pretense of the Patriot Act was considered 2500 02:23:57,760 --> 02:24:03,000 Speaker 2: classified and national security the intelligence secrets, so to divulge 2501 02:24:03,040 --> 02:24:06,920 Speaker 2: them is considered treason. The same thing could be true 2502 02:24:06,959 --> 02:24:10,480 Speaker 2: if there's a joint operation uh to for for Epstein 2503 02:24:10,560 --> 02:24:16,760 Speaker 2: to black high blackmail highly influential figures on behalf of 2504 02:24:17,200 --> 02:24:19,480 Speaker 2: intelligence of the intelligence community, and or as a form 2505 02:24:19,520 --> 02:24:20,000 Speaker 2: of control. 2506 02:24:21,440 --> 02:24:22,640 Speaker 3: Let me know when you find our proof. 2507 02:24:22,879 --> 02:24:26,840 Speaker 2: Okay, well here here, let's let's prove this. Israel is 2508 02:24:26,879 --> 02:24:31,040 Speaker 2: a contentious issue, and for good reason, because much of 2509 02:24:31,080 --> 02:24:34,560 Speaker 2: Western society and much much of the Western world is 2510 02:24:34,640 --> 02:24:38,520 Speaker 2: rooted in UH, a philosophy and faith that was founded 2511 02:24:38,600 --> 02:24:42,240 Speaker 2: right there in Western Asia and Israel. UH and that's 2512 02:24:42,280 --> 02:24:46,240 Speaker 2: the what they call the Judeo Christian faith UH and 2513 02:24:46,560 --> 02:24:49,400 Speaker 2: value systems. So it makes sense that Israel is a 2514 02:24:49,440 --> 02:24:53,320 Speaker 2: contentious issue. I think there's something deeply dishonest happening with 2515 02:24:53,400 --> 02:24:57,080 Speaker 2: the way that Israel has discussed. Uh, and in politics 2516 02:24:57,080 --> 02:24:57,720 Speaker 2: and in culture. 2517 02:24:58,560 --> 02:25:03,800 Speaker 3: Remind me what a sect of Christianity are are you developed? Oh, 2518 02:25:03,840 --> 02:25:05,800 Speaker 3: you're a Catholic yep. 2519 02:25:06,120 --> 02:25:12,119 Speaker 2: Baptized, born and raised Catholic Church yep. So I do 2520 02:25:12,200 --> 02:25:15,480 Speaker 2: think that there's something deeply dishonest about the way Israel 2521 02:25:15,920 --> 02:25:19,199 Speaker 2: is discussed. Number One, it seems that you can't discuss 2522 02:25:19,240 --> 02:25:21,240 Speaker 2: it at all for some people. You can't ask any 2523 02:25:21,320 --> 02:25:24,960 Speaker 2: questions at all about our relationship with Israel, our agreement 2524 02:25:25,040 --> 02:25:28,600 Speaker 2: or partnership with Israel, or any criticism of the Israeli 2525 02:25:28,680 --> 02:25:33,960 Speaker 2: government or Israeli politicians, leaders like Bibing Nan Yahoo. That's 2526 02:25:34,000 --> 02:25:37,040 Speaker 2: just a non starter for American society, for our culture. 2527 02:25:37,160 --> 02:25:39,800 Speaker 3: Well, maybe clear, I haven't made any films or research 2528 02:25:39,879 --> 02:25:41,400 Speaker 3: it enough for me to feel like I can be 2529 02:25:41,440 --> 02:25:42,800 Speaker 3: an authority on Israel. 2530 02:25:43,160 --> 02:25:46,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you should start there, because America America is 2531 02:25:46,879 --> 02:25:51,400 Speaker 2: definitely deeply entrenched in a question about Israel and foreign policy. 2532 02:25:51,440 --> 02:25:54,119 Speaker 3: Now, which leads me to the question then about your constituents. 2533 02:25:54,640 --> 02:25:58,400 Speaker 3: How much do your constituents need to know about your 2534 02:25:58,879 --> 02:26:01,160 Speaker 3: concern about Israel, like, why is that important? 2535 02:26:01,280 --> 02:26:04,520 Speaker 2: Why is it important to your constituents. I don't know 2536 02:26:04,520 --> 02:26:08,480 Speaker 2: what's important my constituents. It's not really that. That's not 2537 02:26:08,520 --> 02:26:10,520 Speaker 2: a priority to me. My priority is to tell them 2538 02:26:10,520 --> 02:26:12,840 Speaker 2: what they need to know is important, you know what 2539 02:26:12,879 --> 02:26:15,680 Speaker 2: I mean? What they made, what they already think is 2540 02:26:15,720 --> 02:26:17,480 Speaker 2: important is one thing. But what they need to know 2541 02:26:17,560 --> 02:26:18,000 Speaker 2: is different. 2542 02:26:19,440 --> 02:26:22,080 Speaker 3: You want them to know or need. 2543 02:26:24,240 --> 02:26:27,040 Speaker 2: I need people to realize that. I need people to 2544 02:26:27,080 --> 02:26:30,720 Speaker 2: realize that Israel as a as a political topic here 2545 02:26:30,760 --> 02:26:33,440 Speaker 2: in this country and maybe all around the world, is 2546 02:26:33,520 --> 02:26:37,280 Speaker 2: being used as a way to control the conversation on 2547 02:26:37,360 --> 02:26:41,000 Speaker 2: both sides of the aisle. Is being used to UH, 2548 02:26:41,120 --> 02:26:45,080 Speaker 2: sensor and cancel, and make and stifle people asking questions 2549 02:26:45,120 --> 02:26:47,840 Speaker 2: about other issues that don't necessarily even involve Israel, like 2550 02:26:47,879 --> 02:26:51,720 Speaker 2: our foreign policy, our foreign policy of America first isn't 2551 02:26:51,879 --> 02:26:55,119 Speaker 2: really about Israel. But yet if you follow the trail 2552 02:26:55,400 --> 02:26:58,680 Speaker 2: of America first foreign policy far enough, you end up 2553 02:26:58,680 --> 02:27:02,280 Speaker 2: at a question about what will do in regards to Israel, 2554 02:27:02,400 --> 02:27:05,640 Speaker 2: And so in that way, Israel becomes this, you know, this, 2555 02:27:05,640 --> 02:27:11,080 Speaker 2: this revolving door of stifling the conversation in one direction 2556 02:27:11,240 --> 02:27:14,400 Speaker 2: or another. UH and in that way. It's duplicitous and dishonest. 2557 02:27:14,400 --> 02:27:16,360 Speaker 2: It's just like the Jewish identity, which is just like 2558 02:27:16,400 --> 02:27:19,040 Speaker 2: the black identity. Like you can't you know. I was 2559 02:27:19,080 --> 02:27:21,000 Speaker 2: talking to a Jewish man the other day at the 2560 02:27:21,000 --> 02:27:25,800 Speaker 2: Republican State Central Committee and he said, uh, you know, 2561 02:27:25,879 --> 02:27:29,880 Speaker 2: you're you're saying some things that are parallel to Nick 2562 02:27:29,920 --> 02:27:33,120 Speaker 2: fuentt As in the Groper movement. And my response to 2563 02:27:33,200 --> 02:27:35,600 Speaker 2: him was, well, what does the Jewish community plan to 2564 02:27:35,600 --> 02:27:39,440 Speaker 2: do about Nick fuentt As in the Groper movement? What? What? 2565 02:27:39,440 --> 02:27:41,560 Speaker 2: What is the plan? What is the strategy? Is your 2566 02:27:41,560 --> 02:27:43,959 Speaker 2: strategy just to call them all anti Semitic and say 2567 02:27:43,959 --> 02:27:48,800 Speaker 2: they're ridiculous and write them off as as not not, 2568 02:27:48,800 --> 02:27:51,000 Speaker 2: not something to contend with, because if you do that, 2569 02:27:51,280 --> 02:27:54,560 Speaker 2: you're making the same mistake that that that many people 2570 02:27:54,640 --> 02:27:56,760 Speaker 2: made about President Trump and the Maga movement not too 2571 02:27:56,760 --> 02:28:02,280 Speaker 2: long ago, just to write it off as ridiculous. Okay, 2572 02:28:03,080 --> 02:28:05,640 Speaker 2: what do you suggest? My suggestion is to listen to 2573 02:28:05,680 --> 02:28:07,480 Speaker 2: the things that they're saying and be able to parse 2574 02:28:07,480 --> 02:28:09,560 Speaker 2: out what's true and what's not. How do you know 2575 02:28:09,600 --> 02:28:15,360 Speaker 2: what's true with that discernment and historical fact. Yeah, there's 2576 02:28:15,400 --> 02:28:17,160 Speaker 2: a lot of ways to you know, there's a lot 2577 02:28:17,160 --> 02:28:22,440 Speaker 2: of there's epistemological ways to decipher truth, what is and 2578 02:28:22,480 --> 02:28:22,920 Speaker 2: what isn't. 2579 02:28:22,920 --> 02:28:24,800 Speaker 3: But I'm a classic reporting guy. 2580 02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:28,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean, you know, here's what I think 2581 02:28:28,160 --> 02:28:34,560 Speaker 2: about again, the term the Jewish identity. It's used in 2582 02:28:34,560 --> 02:28:37,160 Speaker 2: the same way the black identity has used, and you 2583 02:28:37,160 --> 02:28:40,120 Speaker 2: can't even say certain things like I was outside of 2584 02:28:40,160 --> 02:28:42,480 Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve. This guy took exception to me saying 2585 02:28:42,520 --> 02:28:45,959 Speaker 2: that there were Jewish elites that ran the FED, and 2586 02:28:46,040 --> 02:28:50,160 Speaker 2: there were publicly admitted Jewish elites that have recently run 2587 02:28:50,200 --> 02:28:53,360 Speaker 2: the FED, Janet Yellen, been BERNANKI, a couple of others. 2588 02:28:53,760 --> 02:28:58,920 Speaker 3: So that person being offended was he shouldn't have fell offended. 2589 02:28:59,640 --> 02:29:04,560 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's part of a bigger cultural cultural 2590 02:29:06,160 --> 02:29:10,120 Speaker 2: crisis of identity politics being used in a bait and 2591 02:29:10,120 --> 02:29:14,320 Speaker 2: switch to stifle conversation about necessary issues in this In 2592 02:29:14,360 --> 02:29:20,200 Speaker 2: this case is reel our foreign policy. Jewish a sort 2593 02:29:20,240 --> 02:29:24,320 Speaker 2: of Jewish protected class where you can't criticize anything that 2594 02:29:24,400 --> 02:29:26,959 Speaker 2: Jewish people do or even mention anything Jewish people do 2595 02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:29,800 Speaker 2: as a community. Same thing I said about the Somali community. 2596 02:29:30,080 --> 02:29:33,320 Speaker 2: If a Somali man robs a bank, I can say 2597 02:29:33,360 --> 02:29:36,240 Speaker 2: he was a Somali man. If a black man robs 2598 02:29:36,240 --> 02:29:38,320 Speaker 2: a bank, you can say he was a black man. 2599 02:29:38,040 --> 02:29:40,160 Speaker 2: But if a Jewish man robs a bank, you can 2600 02:29:40,200 --> 02:29:42,520 Speaker 2: say he was a Jewish man. But you can't. Well, 2601 02:29:42,920 --> 02:29:44,520 Speaker 2: you can say a black man or a Somali man, 2602 02:29:44,560 --> 02:29:45,640 Speaker 2: but you can't say he was Jewish. 2603 02:29:45,680 --> 02:29:48,880 Speaker 3: But I think there's a difference between saying a smalie 2604 02:29:48,879 --> 02:29:51,600 Speaker 3: person stole and then paint the whole broad brushes in 2605 02:29:51,720 --> 02:29:53,200 Speaker 3: small people aren't garbage, I. 2606 02:29:53,240 --> 02:29:54,760 Speaker 2: Mean none, No, that's not what I'm saying. 2607 02:29:55,560 --> 02:29:56,160 Speaker 3: There's a difference. 2608 02:29:56,440 --> 02:29:59,120 Speaker 2: What I'm saying is that you can't say that a 2609 02:29:59,120 --> 02:30:01,800 Speaker 2: few Jewish Elits ran the FED because to say there 2610 02:30:01,800 --> 02:30:05,720 Speaker 2: are Jewish elites is supposedly a dog whistle to an 2611 02:30:05,720 --> 02:30:10,600 Speaker 2: anti Semitic trope. Then that's just a non starter. There 2612 02:30:10,640 --> 02:30:13,120 Speaker 2: are Jewish elites in this country, there are Jewish elites 2613 02:30:13,160 --> 02:30:17,160 Speaker 2: in the world. There is a Jewish lobby. There are 2614 02:30:17,320 --> 02:30:21,360 Speaker 2: Jewish people who are not loyal to this country. Hell, 2615 02:30:21,400 --> 02:30:24,480 Speaker 2: there are Jewish people who aren't really even loyal to Israel, 2616 02:30:24,560 --> 02:30:29,000 Speaker 2: depending on how you look at their political actions and participation. 2617 02:30:29,680 --> 02:30:32,080 Speaker 2: There are Jewish people who are loyal to nothing but themselves, 2618 02:30:32,240 --> 02:30:35,760 Speaker 2: same as any other race of people on the face 2619 02:30:35,760 --> 02:30:37,640 Speaker 2: of the planet. But for some reason, if you say 2620 02:30:37,640 --> 02:30:41,400 Speaker 2: it about Jewish people, then you're automatically anti Semitic. And 2621 02:30:41,440 --> 02:30:43,480 Speaker 2: that's what they're throwing on Marjorie Taylor Green, or they 2622 02:30:43,480 --> 02:30:45,320 Speaker 2: have thrown on Marjori Taylor Green. They've thrown it on 2623 02:30:45,360 --> 02:30:48,320 Speaker 2: President Trump at times recently, they've thrown it on Steve 2624 02:30:48,360 --> 02:30:50,920 Speaker 2: Bannon and others of the War Room posse. They've thrown 2625 02:30:50,959 --> 02:30:54,280 Speaker 2: it on me as much as they possibly could. And 2626 02:30:54,320 --> 02:30:56,760 Speaker 2: it's created a rift in the Republican Party and in 2627 02:30:56,800 --> 02:30:59,440 Speaker 2: the Conservative movement because such a big piece of the 2628 02:30:59,440 --> 02:31:04,360 Speaker 2: Republican Party or the Conservative base are evangelical Christians who 2629 02:31:04,440 --> 02:31:07,600 Speaker 2: carry the same sort of belief about the you know, 2630 02:31:07,680 --> 02:31:16,080 Speaker 2: the Israel conversation. And I think that it's just completely dishonest. 2631 02:31:17,600 --> 02:31:20,400 Speaker 2: There are black elites. If I say Barack Obama is 2632 02:31:20,400 --> 02:31:25,119 Speaker 2: a black elite, he is. And it's funny we talk 2633 02:31:25,160 --> 02:31:27,440 Speaker 2: in the black community, we talk about black excellence the 2634 02:31:27,440 --> 02:31:29,360 Speaker 2: same way I said about a few other communities. But 2635 02:31:30,160 --> 02:31:32,800 Speaker 2: we hold up our identity when we talk about our success. 2636 02:31:33,360 --> 02:31:35,680 Speaker 2: But if we talk about the failures of an identity 2637 02:31:35,760 --> 02:31:38,120 Speaker 2: or a demographic or a race of people all of 2638 02:31:38,120 --> 02:31:42,440 Speaker 2: a sudden, it's racism or anti Semitism. The Jewish people 2639 02:31:42,560 --> 02:31:46,760 Speaker 2: in this country have failed to stand up in the 2640 02:31:46,800 --> 02:31:52,320 Speaker 2: conversation about the history of the Jewish people Israel and 2641 02:31:52,400 --> 02:31:56,560 Speaker 2: the current political let's say correctness in a way that's honest. 2642 02:31:56,840 --> 02:31:59,840 Speaker 2: And because of that they are responsible for the rise 2643 02:32:00,280 --> 02:32:03,200 Speaker 2: of the Nick flint as in Groper movement. But Nick 2644 02:32:03,240 --> 02:32:05,680 Speaker 2: flentteses of the world wouldn't be able to point out 2645 02:32:05,680 --> 02:32:09,560 Speaker 2: the contradictions that he can had it not been a 2646 02:32:09,600 --> 02:32:12,760 Speaker 2: bunch of Jewish people in this country refuse to stand 2647 02:32:12,800 --> 02:32:16,480 Speaker 2: up and say, don't use my identity that way, don't 2648 02:32:16,480 --> 02:32:19,560 Speaker 2: play fast and loose with my Jewish identity to perpetuate 2649 02:32:19,640 --> 02:32:22,160 Speaker 2: forever wars in the Middle East, or to stifle a 2650 02:32:22,200 --> 02:32:26,320 Speaker 2: conversation about the influence of political lobbies like let's say 2651 02:32:26,360 --> 02:32:30,360 Speaker 2: Apak in American politics. And every time a Jewish person 2652 02:32:30,400 --> 02:32:32,959 Speaker 2: fails to a Jewish person fails to do that, they 2653 02:32:32,959 --> 02:32:37,200 Speaker 2: are adding ammunition. They are they are lending ammunition to 2654 02:32:37,280 --> 02:32:40,400 Speaker 2: Nick flint as in the Graper movement. And it doesn't 2655 02:32:40,400 --> 02:32:42,440 Speaker 2: seem that they that they plan to stop from my 2656 02:32:42,520 --> 02:32:45,880 Speaker 2: interaction with this gentleman and the way that the media 2657 02:32:45,920 --> 02:32:50,879 Speaker 2: has this Jewish gentleman at this Republican convention. Yeah. And 2658 02:32:51,000 --> 02:32:54,080 Speaker 2: the way that the media has covered my comments in 2659 02:32:54,440 --> 02:32:57,480 Speaker 2: general and has continued to cover comments about Israel in general, 2660 02:32:58,480 --> 02:33:00,840 Speaker 2: it doesn't appear that that's slowing down, and it is 2661 02:33:00,840 --> 02:33:04,480 Speaker 2: going to become it's becoming a dividing line for the midterms, right, 2662 02:33:04,520 --> 02:33:10,720 Speaker 2: because you see now an alliance growing where Marjorie Taylor 2663 02:33:10,760 --> 02:33:14,280 Speaker 2: Green in an Ana Kasparian, one of the more socialist, 2664 02:33:14,280 --> 02:33:20,280 Speaker 2: populist or far left activists in the political commentary world, 2665 02:33:20,640 --> 02:33:24,520 Speaker 2: are find an agreement on Israel. Now, do I see 2666 02:33:24,560 --> 02:33:28,480 Speaker 2: their agreement as one hundred genuine No? And I do 2667 02:33:28,520 --> 02:33:30,600 Speaker 2: think that there is a movement on the left in 2668 02:33:30,640 --> 02:33:34,879 Speaker 2: American politics that seeks to undermine the legitimacy of Israel 2669 02:33:34,920 --> 02:33:37,680 Speaker 2: as a nation so they can make the same claim 2670 02:33:37,680 --> 02:33:39,560 Speaker 2: about America as a nation. And there is a group 2671 02:33:39,560 --> 02:33:42,080 Speaker 2: of people on the left that say Israel is not 2672 02:33:42,200 --> 02:33:47,280 Speaker 2: legitimate as a nation because any nation that stands upon 2673 02:33:47,360 --> 02:33:52,600 Speaker 2: stolen land is illegitimate, and that without America's help, Israel 2674 02:33:52,640 --> 02:33:57,360 Speaker 2: wouldn't have been able to secure their current land. They 2675 02:33:57,400 --> 02:33:59,960 Speaker 2: make the same claim about America that America sits upon 2676 02:34:00,080 --> 02:34:02,280 Speaker 2: on stolen land, so therefore it's not a legitimate nation. 2677 02:34:04,600 --> 02:34:08,720 Speaker 2: It's not lost on me that a person like George Soros, 2678 02:34:09,600 --> 02:34:15,040 Speaker 2: who has a political organization that promotes open borders or 2679 02:34:15,120 --> 02:34:21,640 Speaker 2: borderless society, would fund candidates or political propaganda that suggests 2680 02:34:22,600 --> 02:34:25,960 Speaker 2: that no nation that's ever been conquered is a legitimate nation, 2681 02:34:26,200 --> 02:34:29,240 Speaker 2: because all nations have been conquered. If you make the 2682 02:34:29,280 --> 02:34:32,520 Speaker 2: claim that no nation that's ever been conquered or rest 2683 02:34:32,600 --> 02:34:35,680 Speaker 2: upon stolen land, conquered land un as you conquered land 2684 02:34:36,000 --> 02:34:38,680 Speaker 2: stolen from you. If you make that claim, there is 2685 02:34:38,720 --> 02:34:42,240 Speaker 2: no legitimatenation on this planet. What nation hasn't been conquered 2686 02:34:42,240 --> 02:34:48,720 Speaker 2: that's of any value, any resource, any strategic, geopolitical location. 2687 02:34:49,000 --> 02:34:50,080 Speaker 3: Power has always existed. 2688 02:34:50,240 --> 02:34:52,879 Speaker 2: There you go, okay, So if we're going to say 2689 02:34:52,920 --> 02:34:57,959 Speaker 2: that power categorically delegitimizes all nations, it becomes pretty clear 2690 02:34:58,000 --> 02:34:58,920 Speaker 2: what the agenda is. 2691 02:34:59,560 --> 02:35:05,440 Speaker 3: So weird is Israel sitting your position is kenedf you 2692 02:35:05,440 --> 02:35:06,640 Speaker 3: are Senate in Minnesota. 2693 02:35:08,920 --> 02:35:13,400 Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's uh. I think it's unbelievable. 2694 02:35:13,480 --> 02:35:21,120 Speaker 2: How gum dipped the Republican Party is about Israel? You 2695 02:35:21,120 --> 02:35:28,280 Speaker 2: know they're brainwashed. Yeah, they are in blind support of 2696 02:35:28,360 --> 02:35:31,119 Speaker 2: Israel because of an evangelical Christian philosophy. 2697 02:35:31,560 --> 02:35:31,920 Speaker 3: Uh. 2698 02:35:31,959 --> 02:35:35,160 Speaker 2: And it has made it almost impossible for a decent 2699 02:35:35,280 --> 02:35:39,640 Speaker 2: number of them to ask any basic questions like, Hey, 2700 02:35:39,840 --> 02:35:42,760 Speaker 2: is Israel's government doing the right thing? Is bb net 2701 02:35:42,760 --> 02:35:45,560 Speaker 2: and Yahoo a good leader? Is their corruption in Israel? 2702 02:35:45,640 --> 02:35:49,080 Speaker 2: If there's corruption, what should America do it with about it? 2703 02:35:49,080 --> 02:35:50,840 Speaker 2: And what role should we play or what kind of 2704 02:35:51,080 --> 02:35:52,520 Speaker 2: how that affect our partnership? 2705 02:35:53,640 --> 02:35:53,800 Speaker 3: Uh? 2706 02:35:53,879 --> 02:35:55,959 Speaker 2: We we we are having trouble a crisis with that 2707 02:35:56,040 --> 02:35:59,080 Speaker 2: in the Republican Party. Uh. And then in the Conservative movement, 2708 02:35:59,120 --> 02:36:01,360 Speaker 2: and that is where out of the Civil War we 2709 02:36:01,440 --> 02:36:04,160 Speaker 2: first you know, you were first discussing or the kind 2710 02:36:04,200 --> 02:36:07,560 Speaker 2: of fighting inside the Republican Party stems from really a 2711 02:36:07,560 --> 02:36:09,680 Speaker 2: lot of it stems from this question about Israel. 2712 02:36:09,760 --> 02:36:15,840 Speaker 3: Interesting, I chuckle a little bit because I'm in awe 2713 02:36:15,879 --> 02:36:20,480 Speaker 3: of the conversation we're having. Because when I got to 2714 02:36:20,480 --> 02:36:22,960 Speaker 3: sit down with you in twenty twenty and we were 2715 02:36:22,959 --> 02:36:28,440 Speaker 3: talking about police brutality and the distrust and the States 2716 02:36:28,480 --> 02:36:29,160 Speaker 3: and the government. 2717 02:36:29,440 --> 02:36:31,080 Speaker 2: Yes, and. 2718 02:36:33,360 --> 02:36:36,520 Speaker 3: It was just a very different conversation at least in 2719 02:36:36,520 --> 02:36:39,960 Speaker 3: the scope than it is to now. So so much 2720 02:36:40,160 --> 02:36:42,800 Speaker 3: between now and then. 2721 02:36:42,680 --> 02:36:45,840 Speaker 2: It was, but it wasn't. It's the same thing. It's 2722 02:36:45,879 --> 02:36:50,080 Speaker 2: a lot of parallel. It sounds like the magnitude tell yeah, well, 2723 02:36:50,560 --> 02:36:52,560 Speaker 2: you know, at the time, we were talking about something 2724 02:36:52,600 --> 02:36:54,320 Speaker 2: that was going on immediately in the city. And I 2725 02:36:54,360 --> 02:36:59,240 Speaker 2: do believe that the you know, the concept of government 2726 02:37:00,600 --> 02:37:05,080 Speaker 2: and citizen is a pretty broad scope idea. I mean, 2727 02:37:05,160 --> 02:37:10,600 Speaker 2: that's that's not you know, that's not crumbs political crumbs. 2728 02:37:11,760 --> 02:37:14,560 Speaker 2: We all, as citizens should should be in constant assessment 2729 02:37:14,640 --> 02:37:17,840 Speaker 2: of our role as citizens and the scope of government authority, 2730 02:37:18,520 --> 02:37:21,320 Speaker 2: the scope of the state. Absolutely, and I still believe that, 2731 02:37:21,360 --> 02:37:24,760 Speaker 2: And I still believe the sovereignty of the citizen, the 2732 02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:28,000 Speaker 2: ability of self govern in this country is in jeopardy. 2733 02:37:28,040 --> 02:37:30,720 Speaker 2: And I do fear the rise of a police state, 2734 02:37:31,240 --> 02:37:34,360 Speaker 2: regardless of what political party is in power. And I 2735 02:37:34,400 --> 02:37:38,240 Speaker 2: do fear the rise of totalitarianism in America or what 2736 02:37:38,280 --> 02:37:43,320 Speaker 2: you would call, you know, the pretext for martial law. 2737 02:37:43,480 --> 02:37:46,000 Speaker 3: And what do you say to the people who, especially 2738 02:37:46,000 --> 02:37:49,440 Speaker 3: those of whom I'm just looking at the interviews of 2739 02:37:49,840 --> 02:37:55,480 Speaker 3: small American citizens who detained recently Minnesota. Yes, in fear 2740 02:37:55,520 --> 02:37:58,519 Speaker 3: of a totalitarian regime brought up by this current administration. 2741 02:37:58,920 --> 02:38:00,760 Speaker 2: It wasn't brought on by the administration. 2742 02:38:01,360 --> 02:38:03,640 Speaker 3: Okay, so there is concerns. 2743 02:38:03,240 --> 02:38:08,800 Speaker 5: Of of state state ice overreach. Well, let's let's be 2744 02:38:08,840 --> 02:38:11,640 Speaker 5: clear about that, because that's not that's not That's an 2745 02:38:11,640 --> 02:38:15,280 Speaker 5: important point is it wasn't brought on by this administration, 2746 02:38:16,680 --> 02:38:18,200 Speaker 5: if if, if there was a if. 2747 02:38:18,160 --> 02:38:21,879 Speaker 3: There, let me be let me be more specific though 2748 02:38:21,920 --> 02:38:26,160 Speaker 3: like it quite clearly, there have been American citizens been 2749 02:38:26,160 --> 02:38:29,560 Speaker 3: wrawfully detained for being accused of being I llegual right 2750 02:38:29,600 --> 02:38:32,560 Speaker 3: and they're not so, So how is that different from 2751 02:38:32,800 --> 02:38:36,400 Speaker 3: citing government overreach the libertarian standpoint. 2752 02:38:36,120 --> 02:38:41,840 Speaker 2: The circumstances with which there's a necessity for federal intervention 2753 02:38:42,879 --> 02:38:45,800 Speaker 2: for illegal immigration was not brought on by this administration. 2754 02:38:45,920 --> 02:38:48,840 Speaker 2: It was left to this administration. So the the the 2755 02:38:49,680 --> 02:38:53,480 Speaker 2: responsibility of what we're dealing with now actually has to 2756 02:38:53,520 --> 02:38:56,720 Speaker 2: go back to the Biden administration and how many illegal 2757 02:38:56,720 --> 02:38:59,400 Speaker 2: immigrants were let into the country under his under his watch. 2758 02:38:59,400 --> 02:39:01,480 Speaker 3: Do you find it necessary for the federal government to 2759 02:39:02,640 --> 02:39:04,840 Speaker 3: overreached on the citizenry of people? 2760 02:39:04,959 --> 02:39:06,520 Speaker 2: No, I don't find it. I don't look at it 2761 02:39:06,520 --> 02:39:10,360 Speaker 2: as overreached. It's it's power for the situation, and that 2762 02:39:10,520 --> 02:39:14,480 Speaker 2: is unfortunate and it's a failure of the citizens. That's 2763 02:39:14,520 --> 02:39:16,600 Speaker 2: where we don't. We don't, we don't really. 2764 02:39:16,640 --> 02:39:17,960 Speaker 3: You're saying it's a citizen's fault. 2765 02:39:18,160 --> 02:39:24,000 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, how yeah? 2766 02:39:24,040 --> 02:39:26,600 Speaker 3: Why is it the citizens your sovereign Why is it 2767 02:39:26,600 --> 02:39:30,560 Speaker 3: the citiszans fault of the government is arresting you unlawful 2768 02:39:30,560 --> 02:39:31,199 Speaker 3: when you get. 2769 02:39:31,000 --> 02:39:33,480 Speaker 2: The government you deserve, and by God we all will 2770 02:39:33,560 --> 02:39:37,560 Speaker 2: if if sovereign citizens collectively don't hold their politicians to 2771 02:39:37,640 --> 02:39:41,480 Speaker 2: a standard that allows for a government to maintain its 2772 02:39:41,520 --> 02:39:46,240 Speaker 2: credibility and its integrity and its basic function, then the 2773 02:39:46,320 --> 02:39:49,320 Speaker 2: results of that, when a government becomes tyrannical and overreaches, 2774 02:39:49,440 --> 02:39:51,720 Speaker 2: ultimately falls back on the citizens. This is what I 2775 02:39:51,760 --> 02:39:54,120 Speaker 2: was saying back in twenty twenty. This is why march 2776 02:39:54,200 --> 02:39:57,520 Speaker 2: people to the Federal Reserve instead of the first police precinct. 2777 02:39:57,560 --> 02:39:58,120 Speaker 2: And you were there? 2778 02:39:58,240 --> 02:39:58,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? 2779 02:39:58,520 --> 02:40:00,880 Speaker 2: How many times did we walk past the police precist? 2780 02:40:00,920 --> 02:40:01,080 Speaker 5: Yeah? 2781 02:40:01,120 --> 02:40:03,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember every time. Did we ever stop at 2782 02:40:03,400 --> 02:40:06,320 Speaker 2: the first precist? I don't think, No, we did not. 2783 02:40:06,640 --> 02:40:09,200 Speaker 2: We stopped at the federal reserve though, didn't we? Right? 2784 02:40:09,280 --> 02:40:11,879 Speaker 2: Because in the in the wake of a rise of 2785 02:40:11,959 --> 02:40:18,039 Speaker 2: radical materialism and bad economic and monetary policy, inflationary culture, 2786 02:40:19,040 --> 02:40:23,640 Speaker 2: we have given over too much governance to the very 2787 02:40:23,680 --> 02:40:25,920 Speaker 2: system we say is guilty. And when you do that 2788 02:40:26,600 --> 02:40:29,600 Speaker 2: and your politicians decide to let in fifteen million citizens, 2789 02:40:29,920 --> 02:40:31,400 Speaker 2: you're telling them they have to clean it up in 2790 02:40:31,440 --> 02:40:33,480 Speaker 2: a way that's going to transgress your rights. And I 2791 02:40:33,520 --> 02:40:37,360 Speaker 2: think people crave tyranny. That the dark part. Oh yeah, see, yeah, 2792 02:40:37,440 --> 02:40:41,640 Speaker 2: let's go there. Oh, I see you looking kind of 2793 02:40:42,280 --> 02:40:43,280 Speaker 2: What do you mean, Well, I have a. 2794 02:40:43,280 --> 02:40:45,480 Speaker 3: Vote, like I want to. I don't want to tire 2795 02:40:45,520 --> 02:40:48,760 Speaker 3: in taking over my life. So you say I'm saying 2796 02:40:48,760 --> 02:40:49,320 Speaker 3: that right now. 2797 02:40:49,680 --> 02:40:51,680 Speaker 2: I know you're saying that, but I'm making a comment 2798 02:40:51,680 --> 02:40:54,400 Speaker 2: about American culture. And this is what I'm saying. 2799 02:40:55,000 --> 02:40:57,039 Speaker 3: One point to button up the thing that you just said. 2800 02:40:57,640 --> 02:41:00,800 Speaker 3: People find I find that the people. 2801 02:41:00,879 --> 02:41:05,879 Speaker 2: Who freedom is across the breath of human history, across 2802 02:41:05,920 --> 02:41:08,760 Speaker 2: the entirety of human history, the eternal house of history. 2803 02:41:09,320 --> 02:41:14,320 Speaker 2: Freedom is a luxury. Freedom is a luxury. Sure, it's 2804 02:41:14,360 --> 02:41:16,720 Speaker 2: a desire, it's an aspiration, it's a hope, it's a 2805 02:41:16,720 --> 02:41:20,680 Speaker 2: founding belief of our American of our American values. But 2806 02:41:20,760 --> 02:41:28,080 Speaker 2: it's a luxury throughout history, and people crave convenience. On 2807 02:41:28,120 --> 02:41:30,520 Speaker 2: my show on Saturday Mornings, I always in the intro, 2808 02:41:30,680 --> 02:41:34,600 Speaker 2: I say convenience will be the death of freedom. People 2809 02:41:34,640 --> 02:41:38,760 Speaker 2: crave convenience. And although tyranny can manifest in harsh ways 2810 02:41:39,200 --> 02:41:44,480 Speaker 2: and be scary and be uncertain, tyranny ultimately does abnegate 2811 02:41:44,480 --> 02:41:47,920 Speaker 2: the responsibility of the citizen. So in that way, even 2812 02:41:47,959 --> 02:41:54,320 Speaker 2: tyranny can become a modality of convenience. It's convenient to 2813 02:41:54,360 --> 02:41:57,080 Speaker 2: give my freedom to a tyrannical state. And if you 2814 02:41:57,120 --> 02:42:00,800 Speaker 2: look at the trajectory of American society and culture, everything 2815 02:42:00,840 --> 02:42:03,240 Speaker 2: that we do and the way that we participate in 2816 02:42:03,280 --> 02:42:05,680 Speaker 2: the way we've sold out to special interests in lobbies 2817 02:42:05,720 --> 02:42:08,880 Speaker 2: and politicians who lie to us. Everything we do suggests 2818 02:42:09,240 --> 02:42:12,440 Speaker 2: that we talk about freedom, but we deeply craved tyranny. 2819 02:42:12,520 --> 02:42:15,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, but clearly that's convenient for whom like. 2820 02:42:16,000 --> 02:42:18,200 Speaker 2: Well, that is the question, sir Well, I mean, it 2821 02:42:18,320 --> 02:42:19,080 Speaker 2: is it convenient for. 2822 02:42:19,200 --> 02:42:22,440 Speaker 3: Well, obviously, the Somali American citizen who got detained rawfully, 2823 02:42:22,879 --> 02:42:23,880 Speaker 3: it's not convenient for him. 2824 02:42:24,320 --> 02:42:26,199 Speaker 2: It's convenient for the Somali community as. 2825 02:42:26,120 --> 02:42:30,200 Speaker 3: A whole, for him to be detained unlawfully. 2826 02:42:29,600 --> 02:42:31,600 Speaker 2: For the government to be bigger than it's supposed to 2827 02:42:31,640 --> 02:42:34,440 Speaker 2: be because they accept the subsidies you don't get one 2828 02:42:34,480 --> 02:42:38,720 Speaker 2: without the other. It's the same as the black community. 2829 02:42:38,800 --> 02:42:41,520 Speaker 2: The same people who said the entire system is guilty 2830 02:42:41,560 --> 02:42:46,240 Speaker 2: when George Floyd died somehow believe that the infinite expansion 2831 02:42:46,280 --> 02:42:49,200 Speaker 2: of the federal government through federal programs and subsidies is 2832 02:42:49,200 --> 02:42:53,760 Speaker 2: going to shrink the power of that system. Now you 2833 02:42:53,800 --> 02:42:56,360 Speaker 2: tell me how that squares. If I say the whole 2834 02:42:56,360 --> 02:43:01,040 Speaker 2: system is guilty and inherently white supremacist, then why would 2835 02:43:01,080 --> 02:43:04,279 Speaker 2: I give that same system more money and more power? 2836 02:43:04,720 --> 02:43:06,720 Speaker 2: So what do you tell I'll tell you why I'll 2837 02:43:06,760 --> 02:43:08,760 Speaker 2: give them more money and more power if I think 2838 02:43:08,800 --> 02:43:09,680 Speaker 2: it benefits me. 2839 02:43:10,280 --> 02:43:11,440 Speaker 3: What do you propose that as a use? 2840 02:43:11,640 --> 02:43:14,879 Speaker 2: If I think the social welfare programs and the and 2841 02:43:14,920 --> 02:43:18,000 Speaker 2: the you know, the the grift about roads and hospitals 2842 02:43:18,040 --> 02:43:21,800 Speaker 2: and infrastructure, or the expansion of the military industrial complex 2843 02:43:21,840 --> 02:43:24,680 Speaker 2: and our power around the world, or even the US 2844 02:43:24,800 --> 02:43:28,039 Speaker 2: dollar as our number one export, the economic and monetary 2845 02:43:28,080 --> 02:43:31,160 Speaker 2: system itself. If I think that the net aggregate of 2846 02:43:31,200 --> 02:43:33,400 Speaker 2: all those things is a is a benefit to me, 2847 02:43:33,920 --> 02:43:36,039 Speaker 2: then the government can have as much power as they want. 2848 02:43:36,360 --> 02:43:39,560 Speaker 2: And I'll vote for any politician who's willing to puppet 2849 02:43:39,600 --> 02:43:42,039 Speaker 2: the propaganda and tell me what I want to hear 2850 02:43:42,120 --> 02:43:44,320 Speaker 2: versus what I need to hear. And in that way, 2851 02:43:44,640 --> 02:43:49,200 Speaker 2: American society has become a nation full of cooks. We 2852 02:43:49,280 --> 02:43:53,120 Speaker 2: love our government fucking us. We love getting fucked over. 2853 02:43:53,200 --> 02:43:56,800 Speaker 2: We complain about it. We we we you know, we 2854 02:43:56,800 --> 02:44:00,280 Speaker 2: we have opinions about it on social media. But deep down, 2855 02:44:00,320 --> 02:44:03,800 Speaker 2: if you look at the net result of how we participated, citizens, 2856 02:44:04,080 --> 02:44:07,280 Speaker 2: we love getting fucked by our government and our politicians. 2857 02:44:07,560 --> 02:44:10,920 Speaker 2: We all it seems like we almost crave it because 2858 02:44:10,959 --> 02:44:12,720 Speaker 2: we talk about it, but we're not willing to get 2859 02:44:12,720 --> 02:44:14,680 Speaker 2: involved and do the work. We're not willing to call 2860 02:44:14,760 --> 02:44:17,600 Speaker 2: fout where it really needs to be. The Somali community 2861 02:44:17,640 --> 02:44:21,680 Speaker 2: has to acknowledge if we're going to give the American 2862 02:44:21,760 --> 02:44:25,160 Speaker 2: government all of these broad powers because of government subsidies 2863 02:44:25,160 --> 02:44:27,400 Speaker 2: and programs, and we're going to take the money when 2864 02:44:27,440 --> 02:44:30,000 Speaker 2: the government decides to get a little tyrannical, ain't much 2865 02:44:30,040 --> 02:44:31,720 Speaker 2: we could do about it. We got to sit back 2866 02:44:31,720 --> 02:44:32,640 Speaker 2: and roll with the punches. 2867 02:44:32,760 --> 02:44:35,400 Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of people will disagree with you, especially. 2868 02:44:35,040 --> 02:44:36,960 Speaker 2: You can disagree if you want, but look at the results. 2869 02:44:39,120 --> 02:44:43,000 Speaker 3: It begs the question. Say you do win your nomination 2870 02:44:43,280 --> 02:44:47,720 Speaker 3: and win the seats, then what do you do? Look 2871 02:44:47,760 --> 02:44:50,000 Speaker 3: at the results? What is what is your what is 2872 02:44:50,040 --> 02:44:55,480 Speaker 3: your policy recommendations? As a US senator. And it even 2873 02:44:55,520 --> 02:44:58,959 Speaker 3: goes for you're a president, right as a president. 2874 02:44:59,440 --> 02:45:01,760 Speaker 2: Tell people to truth. Let me let me leave people 2875 02:45:01,800 --> 02:45:04,160 Speaker 2: with that. Let me let me leave people with this. Theoretical, 2876 02:45:05,320 --> 02:45:09,440 Speaker 2: Let's say tonight you're watching whatever streaming service that. 2877 02:45:09,440 --> 02:45:11,400 Speaker 3: You watch campaign promise. Why not? 2878 02:45:12,280 --> 02:45:15,520 Speaker 2: Let me let's say tonight you're watching whatever streaming service 2879 02:45:15,600 --> 02:45:21,160 Speaker 2: you watch. Okay, could be cable television, could be local television. Anything. 2880 02:45:21,879 --> 02:45:24,560 Speaker 2: Let's say you get an emergency broadcast from the American 2881 02:45:24,600 --> 02:45:29,200 Speaker 2: government that says, uh, this is not a test, this 2882 02:45:29,240 --> 02:45:32,600 Speaker 2: is a crisis. There has been an outbreak of a 2883 02:45:32,640 --> 02:45:39,800 Speaker 2: pathogen that could potentially wipe out our entire population. National guards, 2884 02:45:40,680 --> 02:45:46,879 Speaker 2: American military are being deployed to your local area to 2885 02:45:47,000 --> 02:45:49,440 Speaker 2: help you to safety. We're going to bring you to 2886 02:45:49,480 --> 02:45:53,360 Speaker 2: the FEMA camps to try and contain the outbreak of 2887 02:45:53,360 --> 02:45:56,119 Speaker 2: this deadly pathogen. How many what portion of the American 2888 02:45:56,440 --> 02:45:57,680 Speaker 2: society you think would. 2889 02:45:57,440 --> 02:46:01,200 Speaker 3: Go Fear is a powerful agent? 2890 02:46:01,280 --> 02:46:02,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I see, I'm asking how many. 2891 02:46:03,240 --> 02:46:06,080 Speaker 3: I see a lot of people doing that. Yeah, I 2892 02:46:06,080 --> 02:46:06,320 Speaker 3: don't know. 2893 02:46:06,360 --> 02:46:08,040 Speaker 2: I'd say about the same amount of people that took 2894 02:46:08,080 --> 02:46:11,640 Speaker 2: the vaccine. Sure, let's use that as a as a predicate. 2895 02:46:11,360 --> 02:46:14,199 Speaker 3: Not a bad parallel. Have you taken vaccine? 2896 02:46:14,240 --> 02:46:16,640 Speaker 2: I did not? I did not have not been vaccine, 2897 02:46:16,800 --> 02:46:22,199 Speaker 2: COVID vaccine. Yes, not take the COVID yet. But let's 2898 02:46:22,280 --> 02:46:24,879 Speaker 2: let's use that number that whoever the COVID people took 2899 02:46:24,920 --> 02:46:27,560 Speaker 2: COVID vaccine would probably go along with the with the 2900 02:46:27,600 --> 02:46:32,119 Speaker 2: martial law. Right, you look at that and you go, 2901 02:46:35,640 --> 02:46:38,280 Speaker 2: do the American people really understand what it means to 2902 02:46:38,280 --> 02:46:41,040 Speaker 2: be free and the responsibility and danger that comes along 2903 02:46:41,080 --> 02:46:44,000 Speaker 2: with that. Our founding father is one of the most 2904 02:46:44,040 --> 02:46:46,480 Speaker 2: brilliant statements from our founding fathers. And I always tell 2905 02:46:46,520 --> 02:46:49,640 Speaker 2: people this at Republican Party events because I think that 2906 02:46:49,680 --> 02:46:52,000 Speaker 2: the Republican Party likes to pretend that we care about 2907 02:46:52,040 --> 02:46:54,320 Speaker 2: freedom and the founding of his nation, but when push 2908 02:46:54,360 --> 02:46:56,360 Speaker 2: comes to shove, it's more of a moniker than it 2909 02:46:56,440 --> 02:47:01,840 Speaker 2: is a practical practice. If you trade, if you're willing 2910 02:47:01,879 --> 02:47:04,960 Speaker 2: to trade your freedom for security, you will have neither, 2911 02:47:05,080 --> 02:47:10,080 Speaker 2: and more importantly, you deserve neither. Our founding fathers constructed 2912 02:47:10,080 --> 02:47:13,720 Speaker 2: this nation in a way where we assume we presuppose 2913 02:47:14,480 --> 02:47:19,599 Speaker 2: God given inalienable rights. But they were so tough intellectually 2914 02:47:20,600 --> 02:47:22,640 Speaker 2: they believe there was a way for you to forfeit 2915 02:47:22,680 --> 02:47:26,320 Speaker 2: your God given rights. Imagine that as a concept, just conceptually, 2916 02:47:26,320 --> 02:47:29,800 Speaker 2: that's profound. You have inalienable God given rights, which means 2917 02:47:29,800 --> 02:47:32,560 Speaker 2: that there's an authority higher than the government. But you 2918 02:47:32,640 --> 02:47:36,400 Speaker 2: can be such a fucking coward that you forfeit those 2919 02:47:36,440 --> 02:47:37,800 Speaker 2: God given rights. 2920 02:47:38,360 --> 02:47:41,080 Speaker 3: I love that, but the opposite, it's true too. Go ahead, 2921 02:47:41,280 --> 02:47:46,400 Speaker 3: the federalist papers the ability to check, change, check, and 2922 02:47:46,480 --> 02:47:51,760 Speaker 3: balance over time as societies evolved to protect said inalienable rights, 2923 02:47:51,800 --> 02:47:55,119 Speaker 3: just like Lincoln. Yes, just like the ability to vote. 2924 02:47:55,120 --> 02:47:56,080 Speaker 3: As it comes back. 2925 02:47:55,879 --> 02:48:00,200 Speaker 2: To, I agree. The question is if your lawmakers are 2926 02:48:00,200 --> 02:48:02,840 Speaker 2: not righteous, then there is no rule of law. There 2927 02:48:02,920 --> 02:48:06,360 Speaker 2: is no The law is not righteous. And we all 2928 02:48:06,400 --> 02:48:09,760 Speaker 2: know that our lawmakers are not righteous. We know that 2929 02:48:09,800 --> 02:48:11,680 Speaker 2: they're not playing on the up and up, we know 2930 02:48:11,760 --> 02:48:12,359 Speaker 2: they're corrupt. 2931 02:48:12,640 --> 02:48:13,680 Speaker 3: So what's your plan? 2932 02:48:14,640 --> 02:48:15,280 Speaker 2: Tell the truth. 2933 02:48:15,360 --> 02:48:17,800 Speaker 3: Man. That's not a policy though, come on, give me 2934 02:48:17,800 --> 02:48:21,360 Speaker 3: more more, No, it is, give me a policy plan here, 2935 02:48:21,760 --> 02:48:22,560 Speaker 3: something detailed. 2936 02:48:23,200 --> 02:48:25,039 Speaker 2: America first, just right. 2937 02:48:25,680 --> 02:48:27,199 Speaker 3: Pretty broad? Still broad. 2938 02:48:27,680 --> 02:48:29,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're in a we're in a bad time. We 2939 02:48:29,879 --> 02:48:34,720 Speaker 2: need broad policy approach. Tell the truth America first. There's 2940 02:48:34,720 --> 02:48:36,520 Speaker 2: nothing wrong with taking care of your home first. If 2941 02:48:36,520 --> 02:48:39,400 Speaker 2: you don't believe so, you know, the next time your 2942 02:48:39,400 --> 02:48:41,800 Speaker 2: house is a mess, go on down the street to 2943 02:48:41,840 --> 02:48:43,800 Speaker 2: your neighbor's house and spend the day cleaning their house 2944 02:48:43,840 --> 02:48:46,480 Speaker 2: instead of your own. Take the doors off of your own, 2945 02:48:46,600 --> 02:48:48,879 Speaker 2: your own, your own front of you know, you're the 2946 02:48:48,879 --> 02:48:51,960 Speaker 2: front of your house. We need a border. You don't 2947 02:48:51,959 --> 02:48:55,800 Speaker 2: have border. You don't have a country. Our priority should 2948 02:48:55,800 --> 02:48:58,320 Speaker 2: be number one as a nation. That's just prudent. That's 2949 02:48:58,360 --> 02:49:00,840 Speaker 2: that's kind of the standard of all nations across history. 2950 02:49:01,320 --> 02:49:04,680 Speaker 2: In fact, the same neo colonial philosophy that the liberals 2951 02:49:04,720 --> 02:49:07,760 Speaker 2: say that they detest is the philosophy that informs that 2952 02:49:07,800 --> 02:49:11,039 Speaker 2: America should be responsible for the entire world. Who the 2953 02:49:11,080 --> 02:49:13,280 Speaker 2: fuck are we to be responsible for everybody else and 2954 02:49:13,280 --> 02:49:15,960 Speaker 2: tell everybody else how to run their shit. I love 2955 02:49:16,000 --> 02:49:18,199 Speaker 2: to see the rise of the populist movement in Africa 2956 02:49:18,280 --> 02:49:22,760 Speaker 2: and Berkina Fosso. I love that the young general there 2957 02:49:22,760 --> 02:49:27,000 Speaker 2: in Burkina Fosso told all these international folks to get 2958 02:49:27,040 --> 02:49:29,959 Speaker 2: the fuck out of our country. We will survive or 2959 02:49:30,000 --> 02:49:32,000 Speaker 2: fail on our own, but we're going to use our 2960 02:49:32,080 --> 02:49:34,920 Speaker 2: natural resources and our people to try and build our 2961 02:49:34,959 --> 02:49:37,120 Speaker 2: country up in a way that represents the best interests 2962 02:49:37,120 --> 02:49:39,200 Speaker 2: of us as a nation. But the key word in 2963 02:49:39,240 --> 02:49:42,760 Speaker 2: that is as a nation, and Burkina Fasso is on 2964 02:49:42,840 --> 02:49:45,240 Speaker 2: the rise as a nation, and as a Westerner, I 2965 02:49:45,280 --> 02:49:48,280 Speaker 2: say God, bless God, bless them. More power to them. 2966 02:49:48,400 --> 02:49:50,400 Speaker 2: Hopefully it doesn't become a communist nation. 2967 02:49:50,480 --> 02:49:52,040 Speaker 3: But what do you say to other people who are 2968 02:49:52,080 --> 02:49:53,400 Speaker 3: seeking help, who want aid? 2969 02:49:54,240 --> 02:49:56,720 Speaker 2: The question is what type of aiight? What type of 2970 02:49:56,800 --> 02:49:58,080 Speaker 2: aight and in what capacity? 2971 02:49:58,160 --> 02:50:00,400 Speaker 3: I mean, I guess I'm saying that young general speaking 2972 02:50:00,440 --> 02:50:01,760 Speaker 3: for a lot of people. A lot of people don't 2973 02:50:01,800 --> 02:50:02,840 Speaker 3: agree necessarily. 2974 02:50:02,920 --> 02:50:05,119 Speaker 2: Well, the people in Burkina Fossil agree, and that's all 2975 02:50:05,120 --> 02:50:09,640 Speaker 2: that matters, okay, Because. 2976 02:50:09,760 --> 02:50:12,280 Speaker 3: At the point, at the point where you've not done 2977 02:50:12,320 --> 02:50:16,360 Speaker 3: enough work and became foules, at the. 2978 02:50:16,320 --> 02:50:20,320 Speaker 2: Point where the people in Burkina Fossil disagree, I expect 2979 02:50:20,360 --> 02:50:23,240 Speaker 2: you'll see some some some conflict there in Berkina Fossil, 2980 02:50:23,560 --> 02:50:26,280 Speaker 2: the same way you saw on Somalia. The problem was 2981 02:50:26,360 --> 02:50:28,840 Speaker 2: we went into Somalia and tried to prop up one 2982 02:50:28,920 --> 02:50:31,480 Speaker 2: side of the conflict, and then we end up with 2983 02:50:31,520 --> 02:50:35,560 Speaker 2: all these Somali immigrants here, who need our taxpayers money? 2984 02:50:36,240 --> 02:50:42,039 Speaker 2: Tell me what country China comes to the West aids 2985 02:50:42,040 --> 02:50:44,920 Speaker 2: in a war between us in Mexico, and then American 2986 02:50:44,959 --> 02:50:47,760 Speaker 2: refugees have to go to China, and they're gonna pay 2987 02:50:47,760 --> 02:50:50,840 Speaker 2: for us to be there. Give me a fucking break. 2988 02:50:51,720 --> 02:50:53,360 Speaker 2: Never gonna happen. You know what they do to you 2989 02:50:53,440 --> 02:50:56,680 Speaker 2: in China if you crossed the border illegally, they just 2990 02:50:56,720 --> 02:50:58,360 Speaker 2: take you out back and they just shoot you in 2991 02:50:58,360 --> 02:50:58,720 Speaker 2: the head. 2992 02:50:59,640 --> 02:51:00,879 Speaker 3: I guess I just they. 2993 02:51:00,840 --> 02:51:03,000 Speaker 2: Don't take the time to pleasantly deport you back to 2994 02:51:03,040 --> 02:51:04,160 Speaker 2: your origin country. 2995 02:51:05,760 --> 02:51:08,000 Speaker 3: I guess I don't like in my mind their. 2996 02:51:07,879 --> 02:51:08,800 Speaker 2: Own people in China. 2997 02:51:08,840 --> 02:51:13,080 Speaker 3: I mean it's yeah, you know, I guess get into 2998 02:51:13,080 --> 02:51:15,520 Speaker 3: a lot of these case studies, which is ye, I'll 2999 02:51:15,560 --> 02:51:20,520 Speaker 3: not discussing this sense, but when I think of the 3000 02:51:20,840 --> 02:51:24,840 Speaker 3: United States and immigration particular, I find out to be 3001 02:51:24,920 --> 02:51:27,840 Speaker 3: a strain, i e. The melting pod aspect of me 3002 02:51:28,600 --> 02:51:31,160 Speaker 3: of my parents coming from Hong Kong. 3003 02:51:31,040 --> 02:51:33,039 Speaker 2: To a certain let. Oh yeah, let's talk about Hong 3004 02:51:33,120 --> 02:51:33,960 Speaker 2: Kong another day. 3005 02:51:34,320 --> 02:51:36,120 Speaker 3: But my parents im grand here and. 3006 02:51:36,600 --> 02:51:41,199 Speaker 2: Hong Kong, the western was the western focal point of China, 3007 02:51:41,560 --> 02:51:44,760 Speaker 2: and that's why the Hong Kong News were locked down 3008 02:51:45,280 --> 02:51:48,760 Speaker 2: brutally during the COVID pandemic because President g and the 3009 02:51:48,800 --> 02:51:53,000 Speaker 2: Beijing regime saw fit to give the Hong Kong News 3010 02:51:53,760 --> 02:51:58,560 Speaker 2: a nice reminder that Beijing runs runs Southeast Asia now 3011 02:51:58,800 --> 02:52:01,120 Speaker 2: and that no matter how many On Kong ties there 3012 02:52:01,160 --> 02:52:04,320 Speaker 2: are to the West, President Jijingping will be the one 3013 02:52:04,360 --> 02:52:07,320 Speaker 2: to decide the future of China from here forward. Right. 3014 02:52:07,520 --> 02:52:10,480 Speaker 3: But I do think that's why being in this country, 3015 02:52:10,920 --> 02:52:14,720 Speaker 3: immigrating here has a ford that ability to have more 3016 02:52:14,760 --> 02:52:17,440 Speaker 3: freedom than say, and that's a situation. I think that's 3017 02:52:17,480 --> 02:52:20,279 Speaker 3: all I'm saying. When it comes to some Mali Americans 3018 02:52:20,280 --> 02:52:20,720 Speaker 3: as well. 3019 02:52:20,600 --> 02:52:23,080 Speaker 2: Too, the answer, but the answer is for Somalia and 3020 02:52:23,200 --> 02:52:25,480 Speaker 2: China to become as free as America is. That was 3021 02:52:25,520 --> 02:52:27,879 Speaker 2: the whole point of the project when we said after 3022 02:52:27,920 --> 02:52:31,400 Speaker 2: World War Two, We're going to take freedom and democracy 3023 02:52:32,040 --> 02:52:34,680 Speaker 2: all across the world by peace through strength. The point 3024 02:52:34,680 --> 02:52:37,400 Speaker 2: of it was that the peace we brought by military 3025 02:52:37,440 --> 02:52:41,320 Speaker 2: strength was supposed to make nation self determining. We didn't. 3026 02:52:41,360 --> 02:52:44,880 Speaker 2: We made them dependent on us. We made China dependent, 3027 02:52:45,240 --> 02:52:49,800 Speaker 2: we made East we made Europe dependent, we made Africa 3028 02:52:49,879 --> 02:52:52,560 Speaker 2: in some ways dependent, all of these NGOs. Oh, we 3029 02:52:52,640 --> 02:52:56,760 Speaker 2: want to give condoms to you know, to Mozambique. It's like, oh, 3030 02:52:56,800 --> 02:52:58,200 Speaker 2: they need us or is there going to be an 3031 02:52:58,240 --> 02:53:02,920 Speaker 2: age you know, was AID is gonna run rampant through Mozambique. No, 3032 02:53:03,200 --> 02:53:05,760 Speaker 2: make them self determining. We didn't do that because we 3033 02:53:05,959 --> 02:53:10,280 Speaker 2: liked stealing the money from them being poor and having 3034 02:53:10,520 --> 02:53:14,360 Speaker 2: a poor structural government. We liked it that way. 3035 02:53:14,440 --> 02:53:18,280 Speaker 3: You're just suggesting to isolating keep out. Is that the idea? 3036 02:53:18,480 --> 02:53:21,080 Speaker 2: No, My goal as a United States Senator is to 3037 02:53:21,120 --> 02:53:26,280 Speaker 2: bring a cultural sentiment to the United States Senate that 3038 02:53:26,360 --> 02:53:30,360 Speaker 2: says the number one priority for the United States Senate 3039 02:53:30,400 --> 02:53:35,000 Speaker 2: and for the American government legislatively is to pass bills 3040 02:53:35,040 --> 02:53:39,480 Speaker 2: and policies that return self determined that that return self 3041 02:53:39,480 --> 02:53:42,920 Speaker 2: determination to the to the countries that we said that 3042 02:53:42,959 --> 02:53:45,240 Speaker 2: we were going to help but didn't, that it's actually 3043 02:53:45,240 --> 02:53:49,160 Speaker 2: important that they become self determining now because if we don't, 3044 02:53:49,280 --> 02:53:52,119 Speaker 2: not only do they fail like Somalia, but then America 3045 02:53:52,160 --> 02:53:55,360 Speaker 2: starts to fail. It's like a self fulfilling prophecy. It's 3046 02:53:55,400 --> 02:53:58,760 Speaker 2: like a bad Ferris Will where the destruction just kind 3047 02:53:58,800 --> 02:54:01,640 Speaker 2: of spirals down into in the chaos. And that's what 3048 02:54:01,720 --> 02:54:04,280 Speaker 2: we see. No, no, no, we want Somali to be 3049 02:54:04,360 --> 02:54:09,400 Speaker 2: a strong, prospering, sovereign, self determining nation. That would be 3050 02:54:09,440 --> 02:54:11,879 Speaker 2: great for America, but it would also be great for 3051 02:54:11,879 --> 02:54:14,039 Speaker 2: the Somalis that live here in Minneapolis. They could go 3052 02:54:14,080 --> 02:54:16,840 Speaker 2: back to their homeland. They have a beautiful country. They 3053 02:54:16,879 --> 02:54:20,240 Speaker 2: fled their country, not because the land wasn't arable or 3054 02:54:20,240 --> 02:54:23,959 Speaker 2: because there aren't natural resources, because it's a dry and 3055 02:54:24,040 --> 02:54:27,480 Speaker 2: desolate place to live. They fled because of a conflict 3056 02:54:27,480 --> 02:54:30,840 Speaker 2: of genocide and war, a genocide by the way that 3057 02:54:30,879 --> 02:54:36,039 Speaker 2: ilhan Omar's father participated in. But a lot of them want. 3058 02:54:35,879 --> 02:54:38,400 Speaker 3: To go home, but a lot of them enjoy it 3059 02:54:38,480 --> 02:54:39,040 Speaker 3: being here. Now. 3060 02:54:39,440 --> 02:54:41,560 Speaker 2: See, you don't know the Somali community that well. A 3061 02:54:41,560 --> 02:54:46,080 Speaker 2: lot of Somalians came here from through refugee status and 3062 02:54:46,160 --> 02:54:48,160 Speaker 2: they would love to go home if Somalia was a 3063 02:54:48,160 --> 02:54:50,400 Speaker 2: place that they could return to and prosper. 3064 02:54:50,600 --> 02:54:52,760 Speaker 3: But a lot of people grew up here as Americans, 3065 02:54:53,080 --> 02:54:53,320 Speaker 3: and a. 3066 02:54:53,320 --> 02:54:55,560 Speaker 2: Lot of people who grew up here are first generation 3067 02:54:55,640 --> 02:54:58,320 Speaker 2: from Somalia in the nineties, and they would love to 3068 02:54:58,360 --> 02:55:01,039 Speaker 2: go home as well. They loved their nation, They love 3069 02:55:01,120 --> 02:55:03,760 Speaker 2: their homeland. That's why they kept the culture. You see 3070 02:55:03,800 --> 02:55:06,200 Speaker 2: the difference between the Somali people, and I respect them 3071 02:55:06,200 --> 02:55:08,920 Speaker 2: for this. They kept their culture and their heritage, but 3072 02:55:08,959 --> 02:55:11,480 Speaker 2: nobody says you're Somali supremacists. 3073 02:55:11,920 --> 02:55:12,080 Speaker 6: No. 3074 02:55:12,160 --> 02:55:14,560 Speaker 2: They speak their language, they keep their customs, they keep 3075 02:55:14,600 --> 02:55:17,320 Speaker 2: their uh, their their their clothing and their and their 3076 02:55:17,320 --> 02:55:20,160 Speaker 2: their heritage and their garb and their dietonal. They do 3077 02:55:20,240 --> 02:55:23,000 Speaker 2: the things that the Somalian culture does. But that says 3078 02:55:23,000 --> 02:55:26,720 Speaker 2: something about how they feel. Uh uh you know when 3079 02:55:26,760 --> 02:55:28,920 Speaker 2: it comes to Somalia. I love Somalia, but. 3080 02:55:30,520 --> 02:55:33,080 Speaker 3: I'm just saying that I don't based on the conversation 3081 02:55:33,200 --> 02:55:34,119 Speaker 3: I've had with smaller. 3082 02:55:33,959 --> 02:55:36,320 Speaker 2: The Ukrainians who have to who had to leave Ukraine 3083 02:55:36,440 --> 02:55:39,000 Speaker 2: under this current war, love to have not had to 3084 02:55:39,080 --> 02:55:41,400 Speaker 2: leave Ukraine and be able to return to Ukraine. 3085 02:55:41,840 --> 02:55:44,320 Speaker 3: I'm simply saying, speaking for everybody, it's just hard for 3086 02:55:44,360 --> 02:55:46,279 Speaker 3: me to do because I haven't talked to them myself 3087 02:55:46,320 --> 02:55:49,679 Speaker 3: specifically to warrant that degree in widerness. 3088 02:55:49,240 --> 02:55:52,000 Speaker 2: I'm telling you of people that keeps the type of 3089 02:55:52,040 --> 02:55:57,040 Speaker 2: cultural heritage alive and vibrant like the Somali community does, 3090 02:55:57,080 --> 02:55:59,720 Speaker 2: and I know them well because I'm here in Minnesota. Minneapolis. 3091 02:56:00,320 --> 02:56:03,720 Speaker 2: It suggests that they are deeply affectionate about where they 3092 02:56:03,760 --> 02:56:06,879 Speaker 2: come from, and it says that they were forced out 3093 02:56:06,959 --> 02:56:10,120 Speaker 2: under bad auspices. Maybe they came here for opportunity, But 3094 02:56:10,160 --> 02:56:13,800 Speaker 2: the question is why does that opportunity not exist in Somalia. 3095 02:56:14,400 --> 02:56:17,160 Speaker 2: It's because of our business model. It's because of the 3096 02:56:17,200 --> 02:56:21,640 Speaker 2: British Empire's business model. It's because of Western societies, academic 3097 02:56:21,720 --> 02:56:24,840 Speaker 2: elites business model where they say, we want. 3098 02:56:24,640 --> 02:56:28,000 Speaker 6: To help everybody, but only if we can stand over 3099 02:56:28,080 --> 02:56:31,879 Speaker 6: you in virtue signal we're smarter than you, Somalian. So 3100 02:56:31,959 --> 02:56:34,680 Speaker 6: we'll be telling you what's best for your country, and 3101 02:56:34,720 --> 02:56:39,000 Speaker 6: then we'll allow you few immigrants to refugee status on 3102 02:56:39,080 --> 02:56:43,720 Speaker 6: over to Minneapolis, and we'll give you welfare and free 3103 02:56:43,920 --> 02:56:44,800 Speaker 6: medical assistance. 3104 02:56:46,480 --> 02:56:52,080 Speaker 2: What kind of a deal is that we'll rape your 3105 02:56:52,160 --> 02:56:56,879 Speaker 2: fucking country blind in exchange to become a ward of 3106 02:56:56,959 --> 02:57:00,800 Speaker 2: the American welfare state? Are you fucking kidding now? The 3107 02:57:00,879 --> 02:57:03,920 Speaker 2: question the Somologies have to ask themselves is what what 3108 02:57:03,920 --> 02:57:07,000 Speaker 2: what type of self respect do they have? What type 3109 02:57:07,000 --> 02:57:09,359 Speaker 2: of what type of pride do they take in themselves? 3110 02:57:09,680 --> 02:57:11,680 Speaker 2: And it's the same thing Americans have to ask, same 3111 02:57:11,720 --> 02:57:15,120 Speaker 2: thing Black people have to ask. Don't be telling us 3112 02:57:15,120 --> 02:57:19,400 Speaker 2: you'll give us a couple of HBCU uh uh you know, uh, 3113 02:57:19,720 --> 02:57:26,279 Speaker 2: graduate certificates that are under under credentialized, over credentialized, under educated, 3114 02:57:27,280 --> 02:57:30,440 Speaker 2: and and and force us into a gig economy where 3115 02:57:30,440 --> 02:57:32,240 Speaker 2: we're not going to own anything, but we're gonna be 3116 02:57:32,240 --> 02:57:38,000 Speaker 2: happy because this cosmopolitan world traveling Instagram persona seems to 3117 02:57:38,000 --> 02:57:40,560 Speaker 2: benefit me being able to get high and fuck on 3118 02:57:40,560 --> 02:57:44,760 Speaker 2: the weekends. That's not a real existence. That's not an 3119 02:57:44,800 --> 02:57:48,120 Speaker 2: identity to be proud of. Maybe if you're Meg the 3120 02:57:48,160 --> 02:57:52,920 Speaker 2: fucking Stallion, it is. Maybe if you're a Jasmine unbelievable crocket, 3121 02:57:52,920 --> 02:57:57,000 Speaker 2: it is. But if you're Frederick Douglas, if Frederick Douglas 3122 02:57:57,120 --> 02:57:59,720 Speaker 2: was alive today, he'd stand up and say, look at 3123 02:57:59,720 --> 02:58:03,920 Speaker 2: what lack of America has become. We're a joke of 3124 02:58:03,959 --> 02:58:07,959 Speaker 2: our own ineptitude. We don't even demand the highest standard 3125 02:58:08,000 --> 02:58:10,640 Speaker 2: of the citizenship that I fought so hard to create 3126 02:58:10,680 --> 02:58:14,640 Speaker 2: equal opportunity for too access to. We don't even demand it. 3127 02:58:14,680 --> 02:58:17,760 Speaker 2: We've become a you know, a ghost in the machine 3128 02:58:17,800 --> 02:58:23,760 Speaker 2: of the rise of AI and you know social media superficiality. No, 3129 02:58:23,959 --> 02:58:26,440 Speaker 2: you have to demand more for yourself. It goes for blacks, 3130 02:58:26,760 --> 02:58:31,080 Speaker 2: it goes for Asians, It goes for whites, it goes 3131 02:58:31,120 --> 02:58:33,680 Speaker 2: for Christians and Muslims and Jews, it goes for men 3132 02:58:33,720 --> 02:58:36,920 Speaker 2: and women, young and old, it goes for the Somalis, 3133 02:58:37,320 --> 02:58:40,560 Speaker 2: the people of Burkina Fasso, the people there in Poland, 3134 02:58:40,680 --> 02:58:44,160 Speaker 2: in Germany. It's the same problem all around the world. 3135 02:58:44,200 --> 02:58:47,120 Speaker 2: And that's why when I Ran I said, what I'm 3136 02:58:47,120 --> 02:58:51,600 Speaker 2: fighting against is the globalist agenda. The globalist agendas, the 3137 02:58:51,640 --> 02:58:57,000 Speaker 2: globalist agenda's goal. The goal of the globalist agenda is 3138 02:58:57,040 --> 02:59:02,520 Speaker 2: to bastardize the sovereignty of the individual in the nation state. 3139 02:59:05,680 --> 02:59:12,240 Speaker 3: I'll say this, I'm of the mind that it's hard 3140 02:59:12,280 --> 02:59:17,160 Speaker 3: for me to speak for anybody really straight up like 3141 02:59:17,360 --> 02:59:21,360 Speaker 3: in terms of culture, backgrounds, identities. Partly the reason why 3142 02:59:21,400 --> 02:59:23,480 Speaker 3: this project came into first in the first place. I 3143 02:59:23,520 --> 02:59:27,039 Speaker 3: want to talk to people up close, firsthand and see 3144 02:59:27,120 --> 02:59:30,840 Speaker 3: where their nuances, where their beliefs, identities and perspectives come 3145 02:59:31,280 --> 02:59:35,040 Speaker 3: to bear, and how that matriculates into a vote or 3146 02:59:35,120 --> 02:59:38,840 Speaker 3: their actions in the society. So for me, I think 3147 02:59:38,840 --> 02:59:42,360 Speaker 3: it's a constant exploration to figure out who we are 3148 02:59:42,400 --> 02:59:44,800 Speaker 3: and who each other are in this country at this time. 3149 02:59:46,120 --> 02:59:49,279 Speaker 3: And you know so as much as you are assuming 3150 02:59:49,320 --> 02:59:52,400 Speaker 3: the perspectives of multiple people. I think for myself, I 3151 02:59:52,440 --> 02:59:54,800 Speaker 3: try my best to explore and connect and ask the 3152 02:59:54,879 --> 02:59:56,920 Speaker 3: questions to figure out that over time. 3153 02:59:57,160 --> 02:59:58,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's why I'm running for us sentit and 3154 02:59:58,959 --> 03:00:01,920 Speaker 2: you're doing reporting because I have to. I have to 3155 03:00:01,959 --> 03:00:04,680 Speaker 2: have a little bit more surety about what people's intentions are. 3156 03:00:05,160 --> 03:00:07,920 Speaker 2: But I don't just say it as a conjecturer or 3157 03:00:08,040 --> 03:00:11,520 Speaker 2: or you know, uh, you know, my own individual theory. 3158 03:00:11,560 --> 03:00:13,560 Speaker 2: I'm going off of what they say and more importantly, 3159 03:00:13,560 --> 03:00:16,720 Speaker 2: what they do. When I say the globalist agenda again, 3160 03:00:16,800 --> 03:00:18,800 Speaker 2: George Soros is one of the biggest funders of the 3161 03:00:18,840 --> 03:00:23,039 Speaker 2: Democrat Party, and he openly promotes a borderless society. What 3162 03:00:23,080 --> 03:00:25,640 Speaker 2: would a what would a world be without borders? Not 3163 03:00:25,720 --> 03:00:28,119 Speaker 2: leave people with this even borders is an interesting one. 3164 03:00:28,160 --> 03:00:32,640 Speaker 2: There's a profound meaning in borders. So people look at 3165 03:00:32,680 --> 03:00:36,520 Speaker 2: borders as these arbitrary lines that powerful people draw to 3166 03:00:36,640 --> 03:00:39,879 Speaker 2: divvy up natural resources and land. Borders have a much 3167 03:00:39,959 --> 03:00:44,920 Speaker 2: deeper spiritual meaning than that. Borders place a limit on 3168 03:00:45,080 --> 03:00:49,520 Speaker 2: man's unfettered ambition to be emperor, ruler of all and 3169 03:00:49,800 --> 03:00:53,120 Speaker 2: in the highest at the highest level God. That's what 3170 03:00:53,160 --> 03:00:56,520 Speaker 2: borders do. Borders say you can't be king of everybody 3171 03:00:56,520 --> 03:01:03,280 Speaker 2: and everywhere, So how could we Why would we have 3172 03:01:03,320 --> 03:01:05,160 Speaker 2: a borderist society? Who would be in charge of a 3173 03:01:05,200 --> 03:01:10,879 Speaker 2: borderless society? See, the communists never ask themselves that. The 3174 03:01:10,920 --> 03:01:14,040 Speaker 2: communists never say, well, who's actually in charge of a 3175 03:01:14,160 --> 03:01:17,520 Speaker 2: of a of a communist society. It's like people who say, oh, well, 3176 03:01:17,760 --> 03:01:20,720 Speaker 2: you think that the Chinese billionaires are really communists. No, 3177 03:01:20,760 --> 03:01:24,520 Speaker 2: they're capitalists, highness communists. No, they're communists. Who are who 3178 03:01:24,600 --> 03:01:28,080 Speaker 2: are uh? Who are raping the people of a bigger 3179 03:01:28,120 --> 03:01:30,400 Speaker 2: share of bigger lion's share of the of the of 3180 03:01:30,440 --> 03:01:34,360 Speaker 2: the treasure, of the of the take. Their communist philosophy 3181 03:01:34,720 --> 03:01:40,000 Speaker 2: is that government should be the highest authority in society. 3182 03:01:40,280 --> 03:01:44,720 Speaker 2: That's where their communism shows in a republican form of government. 3183 03:01:44,800 --> 03:01:49,840 Speaker 2: Republicanism is that the sovereign individual is the highest authority 3184 03:01:49,959 --> 03:01:55,600 Speaker 2: of the society, only only transcended, only superseded by God himself. 3185 03:02:00,120 --> 03:02:02,040 Speaker 3: We've gone on for a bit of time. Let me 3186 03:02:02,080 --> 03:02:06,800 Speaker 3: just say ask one last question. Yes, what do you 3187 03:02:06,800 --> 03:02:08,760 Speaker 3: hope for for you coming election? What do you hope 3188 03:02:08,760 --> 03:02:11,600 Speaker 3: for the next couple months. 3189 03:02:12,400 --> 03:02:14,120 Speaker 2: I hope that we have a real awakening in this 3190 03:02:14,160 --> 03:02:18,360 Speaker 2: country of what's important that people are more interested in 3191 03:02:18,680 --> 03:02:22,280 Speaker 2: conversations like this one, and that we hold ourselves to 3192 03:02:22,360 --> 03:02:32,360 Speaker 2: a higher standard as citizens, politically, culturally, spiritually, intellectually. I 3193 03:02:32,400 --> 03:02:34,280 Speaker 2: think the intellect and the spirit our in it, she 3194 03:02:34,320 --> 03:02:38,600 Speaker 2: could be linked, and that the Bible is a guide 3195 03:02:39,040 --> 03:02:44,520 Speaker 2: to improve the intellect so one can improve their their spirit. 3196 03:02:45,520 --> 03:02:48,920 Speaker 2: And there's a crisis of that in our society. And 3197 03:02:49,160 --> 03:02:55,200 Speaker 2: I hope that political campaigns, political candidates, political activists, the 3198 03:02:55,320 --> 03:02:59,280 Speaker 2: entire political world, the entire political industry, because it is 3199 03:02:59,280 --> 03:03:08,400 Speaker 2: an industry, becomes, you know, a shepherd of of evolution, 3200 03:03:09,600 --> 03:03:13,320 Speaker 2: cultural evolution. That's what politics should be. It should evolve 3201 03:03:13,360 --> 03:03:19,000 Speaker 2: the culture. Right now, it's destroyed the culture. So let 3202 03:03:19,000 --> 03:03:19,600 Speaker 2: me be clear. 3203 03:03:21,360 --> 03:03:28,039 Speaker 3: We're not broadcasting anything now. What we're gonna do the 3204 03:03:28,080 --> 03:03:32,120 Speaker 3: goal is to revisit everybody closer to the election, like 3205 03:03:32,160 --> 03:03:34,400 Speaker 3: the actual election, whether it's like right afterwards or right 3206 03:03:34,440 --> 03:03:39,000 Speaker 3: before it. But I'd love to reconnect with you come 3207 03:03:39,040 --> 03:03:42,240 Speaker 3: closer when the campaigns in full full steam.
