Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 317 ｜ Reigniting Pride in America ｜ Guest： Burgess Owens

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Today I have the

00:00:15.520 opportunity to talk to a congressional candidate from Utah, Burgess Owens, and we are going

00:00:23.040 to talk about what America needs, the real problems that are facing our country right

00:00:26.980 now, and how he plans to bring us together and to move us forward in a direction that's

00:00:31.320 good for everyone, no matter what side of the aisle that you are on. So without further

00:00:36.700 ado, here is Mr. Burgess Owens. Mr. Owens, thank you so much for joining me.

00:00:42.940 Allie, I'm looking forward to this for sure, absolutely.

00:00:46.020 Yes, so tell us how the campaign is going.

00:00:49.600 Campaign is going well. We have a lot of energy here, I think across the country we've come

00:00:54.720 to that point, Allie, where the gray is gone, and you have good people from both sides of

00:00:59.800 the aisle just saying, you know what, we want to make sure we don't lose this culture, this

00:01:02.860 great country that we've had so much hope in. And so the message I'm giving right now is

00:01:11.740 that we literally have a chance to have conversations that we the people do best with. And when we

00:01:16.240 do that, we can pull away from the darkness that we now see across our country, the divisiveness,

00:01:20.680 the anger. It's no question this is the best time for Americans to come together and have

00:01:25.580 great conversations about how to make sure we hold on to our future.

00:01:28.800 And in your opinion, what is causing a lot of this division that seemed to really start and

00:01:34.200 get worse under President Obama and has just kind of exploded over the past few years and

00:01:40.300 few months? What's underneath all of that, do you think?

00:01:43.800 This has been happening. What we're now seeing is something that's been kind of been working

00:01:48.900 against us for decades. And this is, I think, why the election of our president in 2016 was

00:01:54.400 such a remarkable miracle for us, because this has been going on. We've had little termites,

00:02:00.120 and I call them termites. These are folks that don't like our country, that are radical left.

00:02:04.300 They stand against every one of the tenets that make our country great. They stand against education.

00:02:09.540 They stand about faith. They stand against the idea of capitalism and free market. And they stand

00:02:15.280 against the traditional family that we've always believed has made us such a unique and great

00:02:19.120 country. So we now see, because our president's pulling back the curtain, what's been going

00:02:25.020 after us for quite a while. And I think what's happening is that they're getting a little bit

00:02:29.000 frantic. They realize how close they came to power, particularly through the Obama years.

00:02:33.920 We had eight years in which they literally were, and I'm going to use a football analogy,

00:02:39.080 doing a 20-yard line. They figured they could go ahead, sprint into the end zone, and get out and take

00:02:43.520 over our country. But we have a president who we elected, who's another football analogy,

00:02:49.720 a great linebacker for us, that actually is stopping them from doing that. And now the way

00:02:54.240 the people are waking up, we're going to actually, again, vote against everything that they've been

00:02:58.880 trying to do for us. And I think it's now that we see this last year, we understand now what we're

00:03:04.120 up against. And we, the people, just don't like it. So we're going to go in a different direction.

00:03:07.440 I feel very confident about that.

00:03:09.580 Tell us a little bit about your story. Have you always been a conservative?

00:03:13.060 Have you always been interested in getting involved in politics?

00:03:16.980 Well, first of all, I've always been a conservative, but it wasn't until Ronald Reagan

00:03:20.580 came along that I became a Republican. I grew up in a community, and I like to tell people this,

00:03:27.800 Ali, because the narrative has been, because the left has controlled our educational system for

00:03:33.480 decades, that the black community has been a hapless, hopeless race that was oppressed

00:03:37.980 for 100 years by white people. And that's not the case. We represent all the other communities, 0.92

00:03:44.600 cultures come to this country during a time where assimilation wasn't quite as rampant as today,

00:03:50.000 whether it be the Jewish community, the German community, the Irish community. We turned within 0.99

00:03:55.580 to make sure that we were doing the very best. We were living the American dream.

00:03:59.500 And so we have in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, which many Americans do not understand or have not been

00:04:05.000 taught, the black community was the most competitive minority in our country. We led the country in the

00:04:11.120 40s, 50s, and 60s in the growth of the middle class. Men matriculated from college. Men committed

00:04:16.580 to marriage because we had such a Christian faith-based community. And the percentage of entrepreneurs,

00:04:23.240 we had over 40% of black Americans that were entrepreneurs, which actually translated to 50% to 60% of us

00:04:29.880 being part of the middle class. So that was a community I grew up in in the 60s, very proud. And therefore,

00:04:35.760 when I talk about what we're capable of and what's happened to us, it's not hypothetical. As a young man,

00:04:41.060 I know what it is to have around me this segregation and KKK and Jim Crow laws, but a community of men and

00:04:48.320 women that were so proud of who they were and so focused and committed to their families and their kids.

00:04:53.240 That they were going to overcome all obstacles, which they did. Unfortunately, we've seen the

00:04:57.480 last 60 years, something has turned us upside down. And Ali, to be honest with you, it has not

00:05:01.760 been white supremacists that undid what we were doing. That was our greatest enemy. It was black 1.00

00:05:07.800 elitists. Those who look like me, talk like me, but vote for every single anti-black policy that the 0.97

00:05:14.860 left puts on their plate. Whether it be education, whether it be life, whether it be job opportunities,

00:05:21.080 everything that the black elitists have done to destroy my community is now what we see in 0.98

00:05:26.300 cross the board with other leaders trying to destroy our country. So I'm standing very strong. 0.95

00:05:30.800 I've never thought about being in politics, but my dream since I left the NFL back in 83 was to work

00:05:36.600 with at-risk kids. And I was able to finally do that out here with an organization that I founded

00:05:40.680 called Second Chance for Youth. And I realized about a year or so ago that the kids I work with here in

00:05:46.320 Utah and the millions of kids across our country that just looking for a second chance do not have

00:05:50.560 a chance as long as the Democrats hold on to the House. Because it's all about policies. It's been

00:05:55.860 about the viciousness we have, the anger, the hopelessness that we see in only every single

00:06:01.220 blue city is about policies. And so once we change the policies and give people hope, like President

00:06:06.800 Trump did the last three years, keep this in mind. I can't emphasize this enough for those who

00:06:10.960 have not heard this. The last three years, we had the lowest unemployment in the history of our

00:06:16.020 country for blacks, Hispanics, Asian, women, veterans. We had a 400% increase in black business

00:06:22.340 ownership, which to me says everything. Because business ownership, small businesses, is where

00:06:28.040 is the engine that powers our middle class. So we've had success. We're now seeing because of that

00:06:34.100 success, black Camaras across the country are waking up. They're doing what I did 30 plus years ago.

00:06:39.480 They're running off this plantation, the Democratic plantation. And we're going to be part of an 0.77

00:06:43.940 American people across the board, every background and culture, every faith that says enough is

00:06:50.240 enough. We want our country back. We're tired of the stealth, the divisiveness, the anger that's

00:06:55.840 brought on by the leftists. We're not going to stand for it. And we're going to come together

00:06:59.400 and just win, baby. And a little bit before your time, but Al Davis Raiders used to have this

00:07:04.880 slogan, just win, baby. And that's what America is going to do as we move into the next four years.

00:07:09.480 Why do you think there are people in particular on the left who don't want to win? They especially

00:07:26.460 in particular for the black community, it seems they want to ignore everything that you've said,

00:07:31.500 just the economic success that not only the black community saw, black Americans saw in the mid

00:07:38.360 century, but also have seen over the past three years and say, no, no, no, no, white supremacy is 0.91

00:07:43.300 actually your biggest enemy. And you have been oppressed and you've been pushed down. And the

00:07:48.940 only way that you'll ever get picked back up is through the Democratic Party, through critical race

00:07:53.560 theory and Black Lives Matter. What is behind that? Like, why is there a force telling black Americans

00:08:00.000 that if, according to you, that's just not true?

00:08:02.780 Well, the question is stated correctly. It's a force. We have to understand what's made our

00:08:09.240 country so unique and why history is so important for us. We're a country based on Judeo-Christian

00:08:13.660 values. In other words, we're a country based on the fact that we have godly principles that we do

00:08:18.260 our very best to adhere to. That's why every single generation gets better and better seeing each other

00:08:23.720 inside out versus outside in. I grew up in a time in the 60s where race was everything. We got past that

00:08:30.080 because we as a nation continue to get better because we believe there's a God in heaven,

00:08:34.880 that we just want to be blessed by him. So we have the other side, which is an ideology based

00:08:40.140 on godlessness, called socialism, Marxism, communism. They're responsible for over 100 million deaths

00:08:47.700 in the 1900s because it's an ideology that forces, that demeans, that destroys anyone who does not

00:08:55.880 believe in him. So what we're looking at now is not something that's new. We've been at this fight

00:09:00.400 for a long, long time. We just now we have a president who's kind of pulled back the curtains

00:09:04.120 for us because he doesn't care about being liked by the left. He doesn't care about power or money.

00:09:09.720 He wants a country to move forward. So he's doing things that no other president has done in our

00:09:13.720 history. I mean, ever since Reagan. Reagan, to me, was a president who truly went against the grain

00:09:20.140 because he could care less about that inner circle there in DC. We have a president today

00:09:24.600 who's showing us what true American loving leadership looks like. And what I'm excited about

00:09:30.280 is I'm just one of many candidates out there. This district I'm running in, by the way,

00:09:35.600 it's between one and four of must have by both sides. We must have it to get back our country and

00:09:40.580 our culture. The left must have to keep their chaos and their power. But across the country,

00:09:45.640 there's about 20, 23 other candidates that feel the same way I do. And I promise the Americans

00:09:51.580 who listen to this program, wherever you are, make sure we get the house back. And I can assure you

00:09:58.760 that you will be so proud of this new team coming in because we're not there to be career politicians

00:10:04.720 or lobbyists. We're there to save our nation, to replicate a president, to put some more backbone

00:10:10.420 in our Senate, and to get our country going back to where our kids truly love our nation

00:10:14.680 and the educational system that's coming at us for the last six, seven decades. We're going to

00:10:22.580 get rid of these. We're not going to pay anymore for these colleges to take our children and have 1.00

00:10:28.800 them go through it, indoctrinate it, coming out, hating our nation, being little Marxists. We're

00:10:32.500 enough of that. We want to make sure that we're paying for any institution that gives us a great

00:10:38.800 product. And our great product are kids who come out with a belief in themselves, a belief in our

00:10:43.040 country, a pride in being an American, and moving forward to make sure that their patriotism is more

00:10:48.480 important than their probability. That's the way that we have to change the way we're thinking,

00:10:52.560 and this new Congress can get that done. So I hope everybody supports across the board,

00:10:56.420 our country and our president, to give us a chance to get that done.

00:11:00.320 Yeah, I think that it would be a huge step in the right direction if the curriculum in our public

00:11:04.520 school system simply reflected the truth. There's nothing wrong with learning about the bad parts of

00:11:08.680 American history. Every history has, you know, sins and flaws and times that we have not lived

00:11:14.480 up to our ideals. And I think it's good for people to learn about that. I feel like I learned about that

00:11:19.580 growing up for sure. But this kind of philosophy in the school of thought that's driving academia and a

00:11:26.080 lot of public education that says America is endemically, systemically bad, and you actually have to

00:11:31.720 hate your country in order to be a good person. Like you said, it's creating little Marxists and people

00:11:36.740 who are just perpetually, not just offended, but resentful and malicious and hateful and sad and 0.96

00:11:44.040 miserable. And I think that's what we see, unfortunately, taking root in some of the biggest

00:11:49.900 democratic cities in the country. Would you agree? It's taking place across our board now because

00:11:56.220 this is the way these people think. Again, it's an ideologist. It's an intergenerational ideology,

00:12:01.820 just like Judeo-Christian barriers we hold on to, a path from one generation to the next. The same 0.97

00:12:07.280 thing with the enemy that we're going up against. And it was Karl Marx in the 1800s said very simply,

00:12:11.720 the first battleground is rewriting of history. We have to understand what happens when our history

00:12:15.680 is stolen from us. Like the history of my, the black community's history has been stolen from us. 1.00

00:12:20.820 What happens is without a history, we have no pride in our past. We have no appreciation for where we

00:12:26.960 are and how far we've come. We have no vision of where we can become because we have nothing to

00:12:31.680 reflect upon. So yes, we have, we have had, uh, just like, just like, because we're imperfect people,

00:12:39.380 we will always be, make people make mistakes. There'll always be people that are, that are on the,

00:12:43.680 on both sides of the aisle, evil and not, and good. But in the end of the gate, we've had a country

00:12:49.160 that's done the very best because we have a constitution based on the idea of we, the people,

00:12:54.060 be able to communicate. And the fact that all men are created, uh, all those kinds of concepts that

00:12:59.520 came from a God in heaven, give us, give us at least a North pole to go toward. So yes, what we've,

00:13:05.300 we're up against the people who just have, have tried to demean that and teach a totally different

00:13:09.520 ideology. And we have to stand up against it and get rid of all these racist, uh, uh, concepts,

00:13:14.200 which, which has us judging each other from outside and not, not, not inside out.

00:13:18.340 President Trump was, uh, he was dragged through the mud after the Tuesday debate. All the headlines

00:13:25.420 said that he has, he refused to, uh, to denounce white supremacy. And of course the media has been

00:13:32.960 calling him a racist, you know, since 2015. What's your reaction to all that?

00:13:37.880 Well, first of all, um, uh, when you have no God, there has no shame. Uh, and these guys are really

00:13:42.600 good at repeating something so often that a lie becomes the truth to so many people called

00:13:47.580 indoctrination. It's the same indoctrination that goes into our colleges. Now we have people,

00:13:51.480 these kids graduating and going out and burning our streets because they have no idea what is to

00:13:55.420 build anything because they're angry. So no, uh, the, the, the idea that, uh, we have a president

00:14:00.460 who's giving black Americans the opportunity to live the American dream that I've looked forward to

00:14:05.560 seeing for 60, 50 years now. I'm so, I've been so frustrated with the promises. So the true races are 1.00

00:14:11.340 those who continue to use race as a, as a, as a card. Those who continue to look at our outside

00:14:16.100 as if we could be judged or we should vote in a certain way based on our color. Uh, that is,

00:14:21.300 those are the true races. Uh, the, the ones that are seeing past the race are those who put together,

00:14:26.360 like president Trump, putting together policies and it should not be black, white, Hispanic policies.

00:14:31.560 It's policies that help all Americans. And that's why we had such a great lift in our nation

00:14:36.820 in terms of employment, uh, uh, getting rid of unemployment, getting rid of people getting on

00:14:41.880 welfare. So I would say this for those who are wondering about, uh, the messaging, uh, let's turn

00:14:48.700 off. If you feel depressed and down, uh, turn it off. You know, we need to be a hopeful nation and

00:14:56.440 we're going to find out from certain stations. We're not going to ever get hopefulness in this,

00:14:59.680 uh, during this phase because anything that's good is not talked about anything that's bad that they

00:15:04.340 can bring up. They love to talk about. So let's, we, the people have a conversation. I can say this

00:15:08.520 one thing, Ellie, Ellie, Democrats, independents, and Republicans, the greatest strength we have

00:15:15.120 is the ability to talk together. We might not agree on, on, on how to get there, but we have the

00:15:19.820 same end game, which will make sure our country is greater for ourselves and our, and our kids more

00:15:23.420 hopeful. Let's have these conversations and that's, let's, let's not let the left divide us.

00:15:29.180 The most powerful three words in the history of mankind are those three words. We, the people,

00:15:33.700 when we talk, when we have conversations, when we can agree to disagree, we, we move ourselves

00:15:38.880 forward in a way that our country becomes greater. And as we're not talking, as we cancel each other

00:15:43.520 out, as we beat people up because they don't agree with us, that's the left winning. They do not

00:15:47.740 want us to do that. They don't want us to have conversation. They do not want us to have harmony.

00:15:52.140 So let's continue to talk guys. And this last year is a great opportunity for us to have

00:15:56.240 conversations about our faith, about our, our businesses, about our kids going to school,

00:16:01.160 because we have one side that's trying to shut it all down. And the other side is saying,

00:16:05.180 let's get back to normal. Let's live our American dream, go for life, living the pursuit of happiness.

00:16:10.160 We need to make sure we're voting for that, that side that gives us light and hope.

00:16:15.160 Joe Biden has said that he is going to be the one to kind of bring us all together. He is trying to

00:16:19.700 paint this optimistic picture of his presidency and say that, you know, he's the representation of,

00:16:25.680 of normalcy and being the adult in the room, and he's going to make everyone's life better.

00:16:30.340 Do you think there's anything behind his promises?

00:16:33.040 I could answer it by just saying this. Come on, man.

00:16:36.320 That's how he likes to answer, right?

00:16:38.220 Come on, man. No, Joe has proven for 47 years, he's done, but a, he's a, he's a professional

00:16:45.520 politician who's been self-centered, who has ripped off our nation, allowed his son to travel around

00:16:51.120 the world, becoming wealthy. His brother become wealthy on our dime. And I tell you, we need to

00:16:56.580 have people that are principled, that love our nation, above themselves, and not, not sell us

00:17:01.640 out because they want to get their fame and fortune. And I think the biggest thing, which is sad to see,

00:17:06.900 this is what's happening with professional, professional politicians. They don't know when

00:17:10.580 to stop. They don't know when to retire. They love power so much that we have a guy who cannot,

00:17:14.820 cannot think past tomorrow. That's literally trying to run our country. And we have people around him

00:17:21.580 that allows us to happen. These are folks who care less about our future, about how well we can compete

00:17:26.580 against China and Russia and all the other places. They want power so much that they have a guy who

00:17:31.260 literally cannot think past tomorrow's conversation because he can't remember or last yesterday's

00:17:37.880 conversation. So we have to recognize what we're up against. So let's make sure we get someone who

00:17:42.280 understands how to fight to fight for us big time and have the energy to do it.

00:17:51.580 And in particular to your race, what do you see as, as the biggest issue when you're out there

00:18:00.980 talking to voters, what are they most concerned about and what do they most care about?

00:18:07.120 You know, it's, it's interesting because the things that Americans care about are the same,

00:18:11.320 same tenets that allows us to literally be within one generation away from being part of the middle

00:18:15.940 class. It's really simple in terms of what conservatives is all about, what our, what our family,

00:18:20.020 our founders try to make happen is education. We should make sure our kids can think they're,

00:18:25.160 they're, they're confident in themselves. They can have, have conversations without being angry

00:18:29.580 because they know they can, they can win argument. So education is so important. And that's what

00:18:34.240 they've been taking, the left has been taken away from us. The idea of having our faith, when we cannot

00:18:38.360 believe as a God in heaven, that that's there to help us overcome those obstacles, that allows us

00:18:42.460 to look at each other again from inside out, not outside in. Faith is key. And the left would love to

00:18:47.040 take away our faith. The fact, the fact of capitalism, compassionate capitalism is where

00:18:51.740 those who have faith, who want to serve, and they want to make enough income, they have their,

00:18:55.700 they can, they can pursue their dreams. Capitalism is everything. That's what's made our country what

00:19:00.180 it is, the greatest middle class in the history of the world, because we have the idea of free market.

00:19:05.600 And the family unit, a family that says this, we grow up teaching men to, boys to be boys,

00:19:10.640 not girls, and girls to be girls, not boys. It's an important concept. And we have to recognize that

00:19:16.040 that family structure of mom and dad fighting to have developed a place, a safe place for those

00:19:22.100 kids to not only grow up and feel comfortable about themselves, but be proud of that name that

00:19:26.420 they want to hold on to and pass to their grandkids or their kids. It's a simple concept in a family

00:19:31.560 unit, getting it right, having men do what they're supposed to do to protect, provide, and give,

00:19:36.280 and partner up with their wives to give good leadership. And mothers giving the greatest gift

00:19:41.300 they can give to our country, compassion, love, service, those things that makes us the greatest

00:19:45.120 nation because we have a great heart, comes from that power of motherhood. So once we get that

00:19:50.420 together, those concepts, that's what Utah wants. That's what Utah has fought to have. And we have

00:19:56.020 a candidate that's voted 85% against everything I just talked about, because he's a Pelosi guy.

00:20:00.900 And that's what we don't want here. If he wants to be Pelosi guy, go to San Francisco or go to New

00:20:05.880 York, but not Utah. We're going to continue to fight for our values here, for sure.

00:20:10.380 You know, I'm really encouraged hearing you talk about the importance of faith in God and

00:20:15.040 understanding where our rights come from and who our helper is and who our ultimate provider is,

00:20:20.440 and also the structure of the family and the scientific and right and moral way to view gender.

00:20:28.260 Because what I've seen, unfortunately, in some segments of the Republican Party that is represented

00:20:33.640 in D.C., is a discomfort with talking about what they consider social issues. They don't want to

00:20:40.320 talk about the controversial things that you just talked about because, oh, they think that's going

00:20:45.420 to, you know, send the rage mob after them or going to polarize people. But what I'm hearing you say,

00:20:50.920 and what I believe, too, is that you really can't talk about economic issues without talking about

00:20:56.440 the spiritual, family, cultural issues as well. Would you agree with that?

00:21:00.000 Absolutely. And to the point, remember that I just talked about earlier about this great

00:21:06.120 community I grew up in. That was a reality. And it was a reality because of those things I just

00:21:11.420 highlighted a few minutes ago. And if we're going to win our country back, which we will,

00:21:15.340 we have courageous Americans who do not care about what other people think, but we care more about

00:21:20.120 what's right, care about their kids and our future. And the fact is, it's now time for us to man up and

00:21:25.620 women up. We are now at a point at a crossroad where we're fighting for our culture. We're

00:21:29.920 fighting for our nation. We're fighting for our kids' future. If we don't have the courage to stand

00:21:33.960 for them, then who have we become? We're not whiners, whinnies, and wimps. That's what happens

00:21:39.680 when you start going to the left, become whiners, whinnies, and wimps. So let's make sure that we stand

00:21:44.860 for those things that made our country great. Be proud of those who came before us. They weren't perfect,

00:21:49.840 but neither are we. They did the best they could at the time they came through. And they gave us

00:21:54.740 a gift, a country that's free, that allows us to have these kinds of conversations that I can,

00:21:59.800 as a black man today, run for president if I want to, run a business, any business I want to,

00:22:03.600 go to any movie theater I want to, that 50 years ago, 60 years ago, I could not have done.

00:22:08.100 So we need to be proud of the progress that's made. And for those who want to divide us,

00:22:12.960 look at them and see if they're happy with what they're doing. If they're unhappy people,

00:22:16.900 if you lean on them and you go in their direction, guess what? You will be an unhappy person too.

00:22:21.380 We need to be a hopeful and enthusiastic, excited, and appreciative nation of all those who paid the

00:22:26.900 price so we have the freedom we have today to move forward. And let's fight for it. We fight for it

00:22:31.380 very simply, not by going to the street and beating up with people with bricks and sticks.

00:22:34.840 We go by going to that booth and pulling for hope and freedom. That's the Republican Party right now.

00:22:40.880 Let's make sure the Republican Party owns the House, the Senate, and the presidency. And I can 0.75

00:22:46.520 promise you we're going to see a renaissance the next four years that Americans have never thought

00:22:51.280 they can see in their lifetime. People coming together, people winning again, getting jobs,

00:22:55.820 having education for their kids, taking care of DACA, taking care of Social Security. All the

00:23:00.080 things that have been out there that the leftists, the elitists on both sides have laid out there

00:23:04.000 because they want misery as a political strategy. We're done with that. Americans now need to move

00:23:09.440 forward. Let's move toward the light, guys. That's what we do best. Collectively, let's just win,

00:23:15.000 baby, and get this thing done so we can make sure our country is a great place to pass on to our kids. 0.94

00:23:19.760 Right. Well, if you create misery and resentment, then you can present yourself as the savior from

00:23:25.140 those things. If you create problems, you present yourselves as the solution. I think that's what

00:23:30.280 Democrats have done really effectively. They actually create problems with their government

00:23:36.460 programs, and then they present themselves as a solution to those problems, not saying that they

00:23:42.620 are actually the ones that created the problems in the first place. And obviously, that's a lot of

00:23:46.460 manipulation that's worked well for the Democratic Party. It's sounding like you are trying to push

00:23:51.100 back against that and expose that and to stop the cycle that a lot of communities in this country have

00:23:56.900 found themselves in for decades. And it's very encouraging to hear your message of hope and

00:24:03.400 optimism. And I certainly hope that all the things that you're talking about come true. It would be good

00:24:08.620 for both sides of America, whether we agree or not.

00:24:12.460 Well, can I say this, Allie? At the end of the day, we're looking at those who know what it is to

00:24:17.320 build. What the Democratic Party has done, and you look at every city that they control, you don't see

00:24:22.420 building. You see destruction. You see hopelessness. You see anger. If you want to see where systemic racism

00:24:28.480 truly is, go to every single blue city in our nation, and you see where black people are not only the death 1.00

00:24:34.460 and the death rates are so high. Abortion rates are so high. Employment rates are so high. This is what misery is, 0.90

00:24:39.460 you find in an abundance. So it's kind of rich that it can tell us now—it's kind of rich they can tell us now

00:24:47.660 how to come out of this when they have never understood how to build and come out of anything

00:24:51.860 that they have been able to control. So let's look at the misery that's in these blue states,

00:24:58.860 blue cities, Chicago, Ferguson, Baltimore, all these—Portland—and just know this is what the

00:25:06.860 left does. They use destruction. They use misery. And then they tell us that they can some kind of way

00:25:14.860 get us out of misery. And they can't do it if they've never built that way. So this is a good

00:25:18.860 opportunity for us. The gray is gone. There's good, and there's evil. There's darkness. There's

00:25:24.860 light. Let's move toward the light collectively, like we've always done. Let's show another miracle

00:25:29.660 in 2020, like we did in 2016. And I tell you, again, my friends out there, this will be a

00:25:34.860 remarkable four years. Just trust us on this process. We now know how the left works. Let's give

00:25:40.860 conservatism a good shot at it. And we can see what we can do with this, I'm sure.

00:25:44.860 And we say, you know, Democrat, Independent, or Republican, hop on board with us towards that

00:25:49.860 better future. We don't, like you've said so well, we don't have to agree on everything. You don't have

00:25:54.860 to be a Republican to see that optimistic vision of the future where we all are unified under particular

00:25:59.860 principles. So it really is, even though you are a Republican, kind of a nonpartisan message. And I just

00:26:05.860 want people to hear that, that we're seeing everyone come on board, no matter what letter is after your name.

00:26:10.700 So I really appreciate that. Can you tell everyone how they can support you and where they can follow

00:26:16.340 you? Absolutely. Go to Burgess4Utah.com, and you can see everything you need, including facts right

00:26:23.800 now. Pelosi PAC is throwing millions of dollars, four to five million dollars at negatives. The

00:26:29.700 facts can be there. And I can say to Ali, you just mentioned it, and I'm going to wrap it with this.

00:26:34.020 This is a country of we the people. We thrive in having different conversations and different ways of

00:26:39.720 going at things, but we have the same end game. Let's Democrats, Independents, and Republicans,

00:26:44.140 let's come together at this time and talk about what makes our country better for business ownership,

00:26:49.660 for faith, for family. And I tell you, we're going to find out we're not each other's enemy.

00:26:54.820 It's the hard left, the ones who hate everything we're talking about. So let's come together as we

00:26:58.220 the people, and let's make sure we move our country forward to a much, much better place for our

00:27:02.180 kids, and we're going to be okay. I'm very excited about that opportunity to do so.

00:27:05.720 Yes. Well, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me. I know everyone is going

00:27:10.440 to enjoy this conversation. God bless you. I encourage everyone who is listening to this

00:27:14.320 podcast, watching on YouTube, to not only support you and follow you, but also pray for you. We need

00:27:18.860 to pray for everyone who is on the front lines of this, everyone who is running with the same kind

00:27:23.480 of message that you are proffering right now. So again, thank you so much for taking the time

00:27:28.040 amidst your busy schedule and for everything that you're fighting for.

00:27:31.400 Ali, thank you so much. You're right. We're going to make this thing happen. We the people always have.

00:27:35.520 I'm going to wrap it with one last three words.

00:27:37.800 Do it.

00:27:38.100 We do what Al Davis said years ago at the Raiders, just win, baby. That's what we do best. So

00:27:42.840 let's get it done, guys.

00:27:43.800 I love it. Thank you so much. Thanks.

00:27:46.600 Okay. You take care.

00:27:47.520 Thank you.
