00:04:42.700it's always someone else who is unaccountable so it makes you feel like there's nothing you can do
00:04:50.320and that's the message so many on our side have been hearing and they believe it why didn't you
00:04:58.080go out and vote yesterday because you don't think it makes a difference or you wanted to teach people
00:05:02.140a lesson well they're not going to learn they're going to learn will we learn a lot of these things
00:05:10.140I blame my business for, but I also blame the politicians who promise and never deliver.
00:05:20.900Republicans had very few jobs. They really did. Republicans did nothing. They left it all up to
00:05:28.140Donald Trump because they didn't want to be blamed for anything because they thought they
00:05:33.320would lose an election. Well, you just lost an election. People were just asking you do something.
00:05:40.140it's demoralizing to go out and vote for people who don't ever keep their word
00:05:46.820and the and the democrats are going to figure this out because they're going to they're not
00:05:52.360going to they're not going to lower your gas price they can't they have no how are they going
00:05:57.520to lower the price of anything they their marxist principles will do everything to raise the problem0.85
00:06:04.420You know, Texas is in real trouble, real trouble. You kill Texas. If they put in Marxist and these kinds of policies that they have in California and Texas, Texas is always responsible for 30 to 50 percent of all jobs during recovery. You kill Texas, you've killed the heart of recovery for America.0.98
00:06:25.280demoralized people don't vote independence gave the r's a chance now they've just given the d's
00:06:34.620a chance and the d's are going to fail on this too because just like the republican party we're
00:06:40.360not their focus you're not their focus your vote is their focus we also didn't have a message of
00:06:48.840hope that was strong enough to overpower the message of grievance. Do we have a real creative,
00:06:57.420modern answer for the issues that matter to voters? Return to the Constitution. No,
00:07:02.800return to first principles. First principles. Now, how are we going to apply those first
00:07:10.000principles in today's modern world? We lost because we have a failure of imagination,
00:07:16.820of messaging, of creativity, and most importantly, because of a lack of action.
00:07:26.840The question is, is this the end of the story?
00:07:36.540We can learn, we can get better, and we can go back and we can win next time.
00:07:41.380because we still woke up this morning in the greatest country the world has ever seen
00:07:49.400even today with all of the problems that we have literally today and what we're facing
00:07:55.660I would rather be here with all of these problems than any other place on earth
00:08:01.060tell me where you'd rather be tell me and all of it is still worth fighting for
00:08:08.140Now, we can fight for those things, we can fight for our children, we can fight for the people who voted differently for their children, or we can fight them and rip each other apart.
00:08:20.680We can blame everyone except ourselves, our own party, and thus learn absolutely nothing.
00:08:28.040And that will lead us right back here in two years.
00:08:32.660I think one of my biggest prayers for America today is humility.
00:16:51.980You're so, I mean, I listened to all the people on the panel and there were
00:16:54.960really smart people on the panel and you were just spot on every single time.
00:16:58.800i really appreciate all the all the stuff that you do and say and the impact that you're making
00:17:03.260in the world thank you it's i mean it's truly honored to be to be at blaze especially now being
00:17:08.440that i'm sure pretty soon here youtube and meta and everyone else is going to go right back to
00:17:12.460throttling all the conservatives oh yeah and so you're going to have to find a place to actually
00:17:15.760see us talk about these things so it's uh it's uh we're living in in really unusual times and you
00:17:21.240know talking about throttle i think there's one guy who and i think i said this uh last night i
00:17:27.800I think we brought up Elon Musk, and there's one guy that has the money, the capability, and the mindset to actually fight this and to help voices remain.
00:17:39.520And even he was tweeting, well, there's always space.
00:21:47.280And the thing that we need to understand is that the, the same, the same book in scripture,
00:21:51.560the same book in Romans that tells you to, you know, bless those who curse you and to
00:21:55.360love your enemies also tells you to abhor evil.
00:21:57.660and the problem that we have is that for too long we thought our job as conservatives was just to
00:22:02.240nice everyone over to our way of thinking yeah what a mistake and now we have a bunch of people
00:22:06.440that again hate us on a very very visceral fundamental level because again from the time
00:22:10.660they were little they were told that what we believed was evil it was bigoted i saw this in
00:22:14.600the general assembly i spent years in the general general assembly in virginia saying we're not
00:22:19.040enemies we you know we we all want our people our constituents to be happy healthy prosperous and
00:22:23.640free we just have different ways on how to get there that's not true anymore yeah to the extent
00:22:28.440that it's not being true i i don't know but it's not true anymore and i could tell not just when
00:22:33.840charlie was murdered i could tell when the way they reacted to it yes like they couldn't hide
00:22:38.860their giddiness yes and so at some point you need to recognize that as much as i don't want that
00:22:44.100person to believe that way my end goal is not to defeat or crush another you can't it'll never end
00:22:50.700Well, I want them to come around to, look, I want them to become Christians.
00:22:53.760I want them to come around to a certain way of thinking.
00:22:55.680But by the same token, I am not commanded to be destroyed in pursuit of niceness.
00:23:02.680And to the extent that Scott Galloway and James Carville, the moderate, reasonable people within the Democratic Party or the leftist movement,
00:23:11.640and the fact that they're willing to, again, explain how Elon Musk apparently deserves to be lined up against a wall and shot because he's an enemy to the West.
00:23:20.700on on what reasoning and the answer is it doesn't matter the reasoning we're the oppressors they're
00:23:27.080the oppressed and that's it do you think he goes further than this with some then he just doesn't
00:23:31.840go along with it he that you must dismantle the engine of the west and there is no one building
00:23:38.800a stronger engine for the west than elon musk yes no no it's it's it's 100 true musk is also one of
00:23:47.160these guys where he's this example of what american meritocracy used to represent it was the idea
00:23:51.940that you can come from somewhere else now if you come from somewhere else you still have to embrace
00:23:56.200what it means to be an american that's what assimilation is but to the extent that you're
00:24:00.300willing to do that we will provide fertile soil for you to be able to build something that is
00:24:04.560uniquely yours and elon musk personifies this and he's created it for so many other people
00:24:10.480they all loved him 57 seconds ago when he was making all the electric vehicles i got i got a
00:24:15.380question for scott galloway mr i want to lecture everyone on defending the west scott galloway who
00:24:20.320believes that we need to send even more money and everything to support to ukraine why don't you ask
00:24:24.120vladimir zelinski what would he rather have scott galloway pontificating about the west
00:24:28.400or starlink what would he rather have subsequently we all know the answer to that question and yet
00:24:35.000it doesn't matter because he's not a traitor to the west they look at him as a traitor to leftist
00:24:40.140ideology because they used to think he was on their side give me some bright spots from from
00:24:44.480last night they're hard to find if you're looking at people yeah almost impossible to find i think
00:24:49.800the the biggest thing that i learned when you look at the ballot measures in a lot of places so if
00:24:53.800you look at what happened ohio in north carolina in kansas and iowa and a lot of these states
00:24:59.020they voted straight democrat republicans showed up and voted for a democrat politician but then
00:25:05.920went right over to the ballot measure and voted for voter id voted for u.s citizenship as a
00:25:10.520requirement to actually vote voted to reduce taxes in place i think it was washington state
00:25:15.340they voted to actually protect women's sports so so what did we see we saw people show up and said
00:25:20.920i'm going to vote for republican principles but i'm going to vote against the republicans that
00:25:24.700failed to actually produce them yes so i i don't think it's i don't think it's over our overall
00:25:30.900philosophy that lost last night i think what it was was weak feckless republican leaders that
00:25:35.980failed to deliver on their promises and what a lot of people said regardless of whether we like it
00:25:40.080think it's a good strategy what they said was i would rather burn the country to the ground
00:25:43.980than vote for one more republican that lies to me as a former green beret guy or i guess once a
00:25:50.240green beret always a green beret um what are you expecting to happen with iran now i think trump
00:25:57.280has until these guys are sworn in what's he going to do he's got very limited time to act this is
00:26:05.120one of the things that whenever you look at military strategy especially from the united
00:26:08.100states you can't just look at our military versus theirs or the threats that are presented you have
00:26:12.180to also look at the electorate because if the electorate doesn't believe a war is worth fighting
00:26:16.140or winning then it isn't it doesn't matter how strong you are and so to the extent that we have
00:26:20.840to extricate ourselves from us because we will the democrats will cut off funding yes they will
00:26:24.840so you you have to send as strong a message as you possibly can and then how do we do that
00:26:30.860that is a that is a great question um how do we let me ask you this because that may be an
00:26:37.580impossible question how do we get out of this without sending the wrong message to all of the
00:26:43.440wrong people that america is unwilling to fight evil most people already have that message yeah
00:26:51.160because when you when you look at the withdrawal from places like afghanistan which again if we
00:26:55.100want to go back and relitigate this and say we shouldn't have gone in i'm happy to have that
00:26:58.780conversation but to the extent that people watched how we left yeah when i was going through the
00:27:03.460special forces qualification course this was in 2003 we have an unconventional warfare exercise
00:27:09.100that we go through and one of the biggest things that they do is they put you into these teams
00:27:12.240where you're meeting with what we call g chiefs this is your guerrilla force that you're going0.99
00:27:15.500to be operating with because green berets always operate by through and with the local indigenous
00:27:19.240population one of the biggest things they put into all of our training exercises is we meet with the
00:27:24.660we meet with the tribe the leader that we're going to be operating with and the first thing out of
00:27:28.780their mouth is you'll be gone in two years you'll be gone as soon as it doesn't suit you you'll be
00:27:32.460gone why should we trust you why because there's a pattern there and this is the part that we need
00:27:37.100to understand i think people would have respected if donald trump had come in and said we can't let
00:27:41.440him get a nuclear weapon so we're going to have to bomb him and so you can actually do something
00:27:45.060about the regime and i mean really do something about a regime that does not include u.s ground
00:27:49.460forces yeah they have to decide they want something different in iran but can they do that without
00:27:54.500somebody providing arms to the population well here's the way i look at it when the french helped
00:28:01.240the united states and our revolution right they didn't send over massive armies and fight the
00:28:05.760entire war for us there was already there was already a nucleus there was already a group in
00:28:12.200the united states the continental army the continental congress yeah there was an infrastructure
00:28:15.880that you could actually support into and that you could do they have assistance to it not one yet
00:28:21.460i think that one started to develop with respect to the riots and the and the irgc essentially
00:28:25.740put it down through brutality and murder yeah um but i i think again if you if you want that sort0.65
00:28:31.840of long-term if you want that sort of long-term objective and i do i want the ayatollah gone but0.85
00:28:36.260i don't think the u.s can just do it for them i think it's going to have to be a combination of
00:28:40.120having a much more long strategic strategy which actually includes the gulf states which actually
00:28:44.540includes other actors in the region and it's going to have to be something where you set up and uh
00:28:49.080you're going to set up an insurgent force that is that can operate but if it's not an organic
00:28:54.640solution to that problem then we just have to worry about our own national security interests
00:28:58.300i've got 60 seconds i i issued a warning um recently i said war and it may not look like
00:29:04.340war as we understand it but war in europe um collapse financial problems in europe are are
00:29:11.380coming all over the world and it it's very likely to spread here um and people should prepare to um
00:29:20.640to live in a very different world do you agree with that or not seeing what you're seeing in
00:29:25.780europe how precarious is that i i don't know that europe can vote their way out of the problem
00:29:30.580anymore yeah because half of the you you have a massive welfare state problem problem over there0.90
00:29:35.120you have the red green alliance which is you have the left that is merged with a large immigrant
00:29:38.940population which is largely islamic and has objectives to change europe into something it0.54
00:29:42.640was never it never was before and so yeah you're going to have to prepare for that now here's the1.00
00:29:47.320good news if you adequately prepare for that kind of scenario you may be able to prevent it from
00:29:51.980actually taking hold but if you act like you can just get through all this by just doing all the
00:29:56.840normie things that we've always done i'm sorry you don't know what time it is that's that's the
00:30:02.020point i've been trying to make that the time to bury your head in this because i've known people
00:30:06.720who was like i can't watch all this negative stuff no no i understand that i do understand that
00:30:11.420that time is over we're in a different era now no we are i think the good news in the united states
00:30:18.640is while we're not insulated from it we're not as far down the road as europe is and we can make
00:30:23.420different decisions trump had great successes with respect to immigration um which which we
00:30:28.480need to double down on but the other thing that i think needs to be understood is that so much of
00:30:33.380what we need to do to fix the country is actually within the power of individuals families um i i i
00:30:39.020I joke about this, but I'm also very serious.
00:34:51.340you will merica even harder that's how we fight back we don't roll over all right we are the
00:34:56.860people of the stone was rolled away we don't roll over we don't black pill it's never it's never over
00:35:03.420all right it's never over if you're a christian it's never over right so what you received last
00:35:08.540night was clarity now often clarity sucks but it can be energizing mobilizing clarifying and we
00:35:15.980received that last night and now we have that we can only control what we can control and what we
00:35:21.980can control is caring and sharing our traditions and heritage and legacies as Americans even harder
00:35:28.940so it's what does Charlie once said to me before he got murdered whispered in my ear one day and
00:35:33.760said go hard so what I'm saying to you in a not whisper and on this microphone is your job now
00:35:39.560after what happened last night is whatever you're doing as an American is to go harder
00:35:44.500i did not expect this steve days to show up today i am so happy i am so happy that's exactly
00:35:53.340right it's exactly right i got up this morning more committed to all of the things that i have
00:36:00.640done more committed to uh preserving history rescuing the christians uh feeding the homeless
00:36:10.640preaching on standing with god all of those things i woke up this morning and it was
00:36:17.320shake awake i had the same thing i could not get to sleep last night yeah and i finally i think i
00:36:24.740rolled over listening to a jack hibbs sermon online not to that's not a criticism of my one
00:36:29.260of my good friends that is preaching put you to sleep but it gave me peace yeah and i think i
00:36:33.160fell asleep sometime about 145 last night was the last time i looked at my watch 6 30 this morning
00:36:37.820i i just woke up and i just felt like the holy spirit said why are you asleep dude wake up what
00:36:42.740are you doing there's work to be done get up i i i in my prayers uh last night in this morning
00:36:47.800and this is why i feel because i i felt it last night and when i got up it was the first thing
00:36:53.520that came to me was shake and awake i can god i can no longer shake you people awake it's time
00:37:02.740for you to wake up and get out of bed and do what you're supposed to do i can't save you
00:37:10.100if you keep going back to sleep i think it's i think it is the right message the right thing to
00:37:16.940learn now they did not people did not switch to democrats i'm seeing exit polls that show they
00:37:24.340don't like socialism yet they were voting for socialists this is this is the most clarifying
00:37:31.780midterm election maybe in all of american history because you we saw a tectonic shift in terms of
00:37:39.420partisan results but not in terms it didn't accompany a political philosophy last night we
00:37:45.580had a watergate level election in terms of the breadth and depth of the midterm and even bigger
00:37:50.840if you look at the numbers but that but that wasn't the message was more 1994 if you go back
00:37:56.720to 1994 bill clinton and al gore remember uh new democrats southern white democrats yes al gore was
00:38:02.420still pro-life in 1992 yes and they and they sister clinton was small government and tough
00:38:07.980on the border sister soldier the the racial element in their party remember that yeah and
00:38:12.240they promised that they were going to be new democrats what happened when they took over
00:38:15.100they raised taxes they did the stimulus bill i'm doing the this is your life of your career you
00:38:18.740remember these shows right and i grew up listening to you talk about these what was going on at that
00:38:22.940time and then they and then they tried to do socialism versus hillary care what happened next
00:38:27.280is they got absolutely annihilated as a party uh because they they ran on they did the opposite of
00:38:33.180what they ran on we promised people populism we promised people that and and we we we're not going
00:38:39.360to blame this on the president or blame this on republicans in congress we're all on the same team
00:38:43.080here yeah all right some of us have a larger role to play on that team than others like the congress
00:38:47.080and the president do but we're all wearing the same jersey are we not so we win as a team those
00:38:51.640guys can't win if we don't vote for them right in 2024 which means we don't put it all on them
00:38:55.680that's why we lost we win as a team we lost as a team here's what we promised the american people
00:39:00.840we would take there would be accountability in government crooks would be rounded up
00:39:04.680people that use the law fair to persecute people epstein clients would be would be arrested none
00:39:09.980of that occurred none of it happened we promised people that we would reduce debt and government
00:39:14.540inefficiency in order to lower lower inflation in the spending that's happened since covid
00:39:19.120Doge lasted for six months. The fire got too hot. And instead, we had to fight over ballrooms and the Kennedy Center's name for two years instead. We promised people no more stupid foreign wars. And then we launched like the dumbest one of all of them that there's no end to and made the affordability crisis worse than it already was. So that now we cannot pivot to the Democrats and say, give us more time to fix the problems that they started because we were making the problems they started worse.
00:39:44.760We did the opposite on the key issues that mattered.
