00:00:00.000 Doesn't it feel like everything is out of control and nobody seems to be doing anything about it?
00:00:08.240 Israel is on fire. Russia is hacking our gas pipelines. The economy is completely out of
00:00:16.680 control. I mean, it is it is Jimmy Carter years, except, as Trump pointed out, that's an insult to
00:00:24.020 Jimmy Carter. And I do apologize to President Carter for comparing him to Joe Biden.
00:00:30.600 We need some common sense. One of my favorite moments in American history is when Nikki Haley
00:00:37.080 stomped North Korea in front of the world. She was the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations
00:00:42.900 at the time, and North Korea had just launched an intercontinental ballistic missile that could
00:00:47.520 reach America. And Haley, well, here, watch for yourself. The dictator of North Korea made a choice
00:00:54.360 yesterday that brings the world closer to war, not farther from it. We have never sought war with
00:01:01.000 North Korea. And still today, we do not seek it. If war does come, it will be because of continued
00:01:08.760 acts of aggression like we witnessed yesterday. And if war comes, make no mistake, the North Korean
00:01:16.700 regime will be utterly destroyed. As an ambassador to the UN, the only one I remember in my lifetime
00:01:24.860 that was as good was Jean Kirkpatrick. She didn't take anything lying down either and was not bullied
00:01:33.080 by the rest of the world. Now, the last time she was on here, apparently we riled up Twitter mobs and
00:01:40.640 over serious pundits. So who knows what will happen this time? All I can promise is that the world might
00:01:47.900 make sense for just a few minutes, and it will be a tremendous discussion about what's happening in
00:01:53.360 and outside of our country with a woman who is very presidential in every way. Today, welcome Nikki
00:02:02.060 Haley. If you're running a business, oh my gosh, don't you hate HR? I mean, it could kill you.
00:02:08.560 And they can do it in all the little thousand paper cuts sort of way. Wrongful termination suits,
00:02:14.120 minimum wage requirements, labor regulations, and HR manager salaries. They ain't cheap. And I
00:02:20.400 hated hiring one because nobody got into this business. You know, whatever you do, you didn't,
00:02:27.300 you weren't eight and you're like, well, I want to be, I want to be surrounded by HR people.

00:03:35.260 Welcome. How are you? Thank you. It's always great to sit down with you. I'm great. Last time,
00:03:40.700 about a year ago, I think, we sat down and you left and I don't know what it was about,
00:03:46.120 but there was some big Twitter storm about how whatever. So we have to find something that is
00:03:51.740 meaningless that people can argue over and get into a big Twitter fight over. Yeah, I mean, it's what
00:03:57.940 the media does. I know. It's what the social media spectrum does is they'll pick and choose little
00:04:04.680 bits of pieces and they'll blow it up and it's just because. It is, I've never, I mean, Shakespeare,
00:04:13.320 I think of all the world is but a stage almost every day now because it's like, are you guys
00:04:21.040 writing that? I mean, is this a, this is a joke, right? You can't make it up. All of the things
00:04:26.500 that are on fire and they're offended and trying to, you know, change language so we don't, are you
00:04:35.080 crazy? But you know what I think this is? I think they're bored. I think President Trump is gone.
00:04:41.440 He made their ratings big. He gave them something to talk about. Now that he's not there,
00:04:46.800 they're just grasping. This is all going to backfire. The cancel culture, the woke aspect
00:04:52.520 of everything, they are moving so far to the left that the pendulum is going to swing far right.
00:04:59.460 You know, Jerry Boykin, General Jerry Boykin?
00:05:02.080 I don't.
00:05:02.440 Okay. Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin. He was, he was on the original Delta Force. He became the
00:05:10.260 commander. He connected, he was in our special forces as the commanding officer of all the special
00:05:15.900 forces. Amazing guy. He was part of that group that wrote that letter this week from all of the flag
00:05:21.980 officers, retired flag officers. And I talked to him this morning for about an hour and it was
00:05:29.440 concerning, gravely concerning because he was talking about how, you know, the, the last piece
00:05:38.960 that you need. And I, I know this cause I studied revolution for so long back in the early two thousands.
00:05:47.180 The last pieces that you need are the military and the police, and they're destroying both of them,
00:05:54.640 both of them. And as he said today, look at their recruiting ads. Who is going to apply for that job?
00:06:03.680 No. And, and listen, the one thing I can tell you is I never missed a single highway patrol graduation
00:06:12.240 when I was governor, because when that law enforcement goes out, they leave the family they love.
00:06:19.840 They sacrifice their lives for someone that they don't know. And they put it all on the line in the
00:06:26.820 name of safety. And the idea that they are being vilified is really a travesty because when something
00:06:35.080 happens to you, those are who you're grateful for. And then the other side of it is, you know,
00:06:41.360 I look at our foreign policy and I look at everything that's going on right now. Here you
00:06:47.360 have the Chinese delegation humiliates the American delegation in Alaska. Putin's challenging Biden to
00:06:55.400 a debate. You've got, um, Kim starting to test ballistic missiles. You've got Biden falling over
00:07:01.220 himself to do business with Iran all while he's boycotting Georgia. And oh, by the way, Biden is going
00:07:07.000 to reduce the funding to our military when China is modernizing theirs. They have the largest naval
00:07:13.200 fleet in the world. They have more air defense systems than we do. And what are we doing? Like
00:07:18.120 those core basics that we need to be safe and stable and allow for rule of law. Those are the things
00:07:26.420 they're pushing to the wayside. I know. And I have thought this country was much more fragile than it
00:07:32.940 was. You know, in 2008, I was talking about the coming collapse in 2005. Nobody believed it. And
00:07:40.260 it's because they all bought into their own bull crap on Wall Street and in the banking communities.
00:07:45.140 You know, there are systems that will protect. No, there's not. No, there's not. Um, and, uh,
00:07:50.580 and so I really thought this could be lights out. Look at the body blows this country has taken
00:07:56.560 over and over internally, not just externally. Internally, we have been hammering ourselves
00:08:04.300 almost to death. How much more, how much more is left in this gas tank? Because it is truly
00:08:11.440 miraculous on where I think we're, we're flying on fumes. But you know, the bigger picture concern
00:08:18.220 that I have is look at how distracted America looks right now. Look at how distracted. And when
00:08:25.080 we're distracted, bad things happen. When we're distracted, Hamas tests Biden to see what he's
00:08:31.160 going to do. And you break out, you have war out in Israel. When we're distracted, you have
00:08:35.560 hackings of pipelines because they can. When we were distracted at the beginning with COVID,
00:08:41.140 that's when, and nobody even knew it. Nobody reported on it. China just walks in and eliminates
00:08:46.540 anybody who was a hassle to them. I mean, this is, it's, we need leadership and the leadership we
00:08:53.120 need. I'm not talking about the next election or the next presidential election or the one after
00:08:58.100 that. I'm talking 20, 30, 50 years out. America has to decide what kind of country we're going to be,
00:09:08.200 what kind of leader we're going to be and get in front of it. Stop being responsive. Stop being
00:09:13.440 reactionary. Get it together because the rest of the world is moving on without us.
00:09:19.240 So I said, one of my first books was Simon & Schuster and they poo-pooed it. And they said,
00:09:26.240 nobody wants this. Nobody would want this. And I said, yeah, but it's kind of what we need.
00:09:31.140 And I wanted to get together with people like you and all the best minds I could think of in every
00:09:35.440 category and say, a hundred year plan. Where should we be in a hundred years? Because our opponents
00:09:42.180 are thinking a hundred, a thousand years ahead and it works for them. Where should we be? And everybody
00:09:51.180 wants an answer right now. And it feels like everything is on fire. And if we don't act right
00:10:00.280 now, that we're not going to have a future. Where the left did it with Woodrow Wilson,
00:10:07.260 with FDR, with the great society, all of that stuff with Barack Obama, this is just an extension
00:10:13.700 of what they were doing. This is just phase two. They do think that way with the Tides Foundation.
00:10:19.980 Where's the right? Where's the right? Where's anyone with any money, with any brains? Where are the
00:10:27.680 professors that we know are in the universities that are hiding? Where are they helping us put together a
00:10:36.040 strategy to reverse this cycle? Well, I think, you know, I think it's up to us to do something about
00:10:41.360 it. Right. And so the one thing I'll tell you that I firmly believe is Republicans are too nice.
00:10:48.720 They're just too nice. Okay. Let me ask you, are they too nice? Do they even get it? This whole thing
00:10:55.440 with Liz Cheney, look, I understand, you know, she doesn't like Trump, blah, blah, blah. I think it's
00:11:00.480 really horrible what she has been saying. The Republicans have a right to kick her out. I mean,
00:11:06.460 you're part of the planning of the party. I think you're going in the wrong direction. So all this
00:11:11.940 is nonsense, to me at least. But look what she is saying. She's saying, I'm going to bring up
00:11:22.820 everybody who was part of Donald Trump. Well, okay, but you voted with Donald Trump.
00:11:29.480 93% of the time. 93% of the time. So his policies work. You may not like the man,
00:11:35.160 but his policies were right. We have the biggest opportunity and you have about 18 months.
00:11:40.520 And I don't think the Republicans are going to be able to get out of their own damn way.
00:11:44.480 I mean, what we need is, first of all, I think the media tries to say there's these massive
00:11:50.180 divisions in the Republican Party. I actually don't think there are these divisions. If you go
00:11:54.220 and you ask, find me any Republican that doesn't think we need to hold China accountable. Find any
00:11:59.260 Republican that says we should have schools closed. Find me any Republican that says they're okay with
00:12:04.280 what's happening at the border. Find me any Republican that is okay with all of the spending
00:12:08.220 and the stimulus and the debt. So we are unified on the policies. What we have to do is not just be
00:12:14.520 unified on the problems, be unified on the solutions. How much longer are we going to say
00:12:20.560 we're against Obamacare? At some point you have to be for something. And that's why our policy group
00:12:26.040 stand for America. We are coming out with healthcare policy. We're going to come out with K through 12
00:12:30.720 policy. We're going to have something on the environment that conservatives can hold onto because
00:12:35.460 you can't just say no. You know, I mean, there's, when I was governor in South Carolina, we had
00:12:42.140 two situations. We had a lot of people on welfare. We had a lot of people in prisons. We had, you know,
00:12:51.640 education that wasn't doing well and we needed jobs. We went, we brought in massive industry. We were
00:12:56.720 known as the beast of the Southeast, put lots of people to work. The welfare side, what I saw was there
00:13:03.220 a lot of people sitting at home getting welfare and I wanted to do something different. So what we did
00:13:08.380 was I went and partnered with businesses and I said, if you will pay this person for X number of weeks
00:13:15.160 and train them, I will pay for that. And then you decide afterwards what you want to do. We moved
00:13:22.740 thousands of people from welfare to work and we had celebrations and those people would bring their
00:13:30.100 families. They were so proud that they were earning their own way and they had learned a skill and that
00:13:35.640 they were moving forward. We did it by lifting people up. We did it with a solution that was
00:13:41.340 creative. Then let me give you one more. Our prison systems. We had a lot of people in prison. I went and
00:13:47.820 studied the prisons. We taught them how to write a resume. We gave them financial literacy, but then I
00:13:53.040 partnered with businesses put equipment behind the fence. We taught them a trade and then we made
00:13:59.840 sure that they knew that and we made sure they had a job when they left the fence. South Carolina today
00:14:04.500 has the lowest recidivism rate in the country because of that. It's solutions that work. Republicans have
00:14:11.520 to make sure that we are not the party of soundbites. We have to be the party of solutions and policies.
00:14:17.280 And that doesn't mean the policies for next week. That means policies to take us into the next decade
00:14:24.120 and next 20 and 50 years. We've got to start leading. We've got to start leading.
00:14:29.480 If you have tried purchasing a firearm or ammunition in the last year, you know there is an overwhelming
00:14:34.860 demand from responsible citizens ensuring that they're protecting their Second Amendment rights.
00:14:41.260 Okay. I ordered a gun, just a regular handgun, I don't even know, almost a year ago. Still haven't
00:14:47.940 heard about it. Still waiting for it. If you're not purchasing firearms and ammunition, the demand for
00:14:53.400 ballistic body armor has even been higher. It's like owning a firearm. Owning ballistic body armor is
00:15:01.620 the next step in ensuring your Second Amendment rights, yourself and your family. Make sure that they
00:15:06.740 are protected. It's not for you going in. It could be for you just getting out. Let me talk to you
00:15:14.040 about AR-500 armor, the importance of protecting yourself and your family. I wanted to remind you
00:15:19.860 that body armor is covered under your Second Amendment rights. And the folks over at AR-500 armor are
00:15:26.140 making buying body armor really easy, approachable and affordable. It's really expensive,
00:15:32.100 expensive. But I don't know how they do it, but AR-500 armor, it's great. AR-500 armor.com and it's
00:15:39.260 affordable. Buy it online, have it shipped straight to your house. I hate to say this because I just,
00:15:46.380 I can't believe it when I say it, but I have, I have AR-500 for every member of my family and it's
00:15:53.060 near our go bags. AR-500 armor.com slash Beck. Use that code at checkout for 20% off anything site
00:16:01.420 wide. Again, it's AR-500 armor.com slash Beck. How do you turn this corner and get 20 years down
00:16:11.420 the road? Where do you, how do, what has to be done first, second, third, and what do you see
00:16:16.700 20 years down the road? Well, I think first you look at what President Trump did. Every policy he
00:16:24.480 put in place was good. We should double down on that. We should be proud of that and know that
00:16:29.800 that is a great starting point to say, this is what we believe in. And not only that, we have the
00:16:35.080 results to prove it. Then you move forward and say, what does leading look like? Well, first of all,
00:16:41.660 let's look at foreign policy. Leading isn't copying China and shutting down our country like they did.
00:16:49.260 Leading is looking at what Taiwan did that didn't shut down at all and did contact tracing and had
00:16:56.040 the best results of it. Leading isn't saying what Biden's doing, which is we're going to start our own
00:17:01.500 belt and road initiative and start investing in a bunch of countries. No, what China's doing is not
00:17:06.960 going to work. Leading is saying we're going to partner with our friends. Those that want to work
00:17:12.100 with us, we're going to be strategic. Those that don't, don't hold your hand out. We're not giving
00:17:16.780 you foreign aid. We have to, can't buy friends. You got to start to lead. And leading is calling out
00:17:23.580 China on accountability. It's letting Russia know we're onto them and any more hacking that they will
00:17:29.380 pay a price. It's making sure that we stop Iran and stop trying to appease them. It's having the backs
00:17:35.760 of our friends like Israel and moving forward. That's foreign policy. Then you have to pay
00:17:40.960 attention to education. What has happened during COVID, we are going to see this for years, the
00:17:48.700 ramifications of this. The idea that they kept kids out of school. I have an education foundation and we
00:17:56.000 serve 7,000 kids in rural challenged areas of South Carolina with afterschool programs. I was visiting
00:18:01.080 one of my schools and I said, what have we lost? And they said a year. And I said, what about my
00:18:07.880 third, fourth and fifth graders? She said two years. Because Glenn, think about basic reading,
00:18:13.760 basic math, basic history. If you get that and are the schools going to be honest enough with parents
00:18:21.540 to say, we can't catch your child up. Parents need to make a decision. Do you hold your child back?
00:18:28.920 We did. Or do you, it's absolutely, it's a smart thing to do. Or do you push them forward? Because
00:18:34.280 they can't suddenly make up knowing fractions. Correct. They can't just make it. And you don't
00:18:39.160 understand algebra one, you cannot go to algebra two, or you will be a mess and it will destroy you.
00:18:45.180 And you are hurting your child to do that. And so these are truth conversations that we need to have.
00:18:50.340 But then you go to the heart of the Department of Education. In South Carolina, what we did was we
00:18:56.540 said, we're not passing a child through the third grade if they can't read. Because if you do,
00:19:02.000 they're four times more likely to not graduate from high school. So we did that. But then I also
00:19:08.040 looked at the funding streams because I was trying to understand how we lift up the poor districts
00:19:13.280 without hurting those that were wealthy. What I found is every state, the Department of
00:19:20.160 Education says, if you teach this, we'll send you this money. If you teach this, we'll send you this
00:19:24.880 money. If you teach this, we'll send you this money. So guess what they're doing now? If you teach
00:19:29.180 critical race theory, we'll send you this money. Every governor in the country needs to say,
00:19:36.300 we are not going to take that money for critical race theory. Because the idea, this is what really
00:19:41.660 will change a generation. The idea that you take a five-year-old who doesn't see race, doesn't see
00:19:47.860 gender, doesn't see any of that, goes in and is just trying to learn their colors. You go and you
00:19:53.900 tell them that the white kids that they're racist, and then you tell the brown and black kids that
00:19:59.460 they'll never be anything. That's what hurts our country. Those are the things we need to double down
00:20:06.800 I don't think that hurts our country. I think that destroys our country. Absolutely it does.
00:20:11.680 Because it destroys everything about America is, I can do it. I can do it. I just have to figure out
00:20:20.700 the way to navigate. I did television. I didn't even set out to do television, and I did it my way
00:20:29.700 because I figured out a way to maneuver around. You can do anything in America. Once you destroy that,
00:20:40.140 the American dream is over. And it will take generations. It will take the people who are in
00:20:46.940 third grade today to die at old age before that can be corrected. And government breaks more than it
00:20:54.420 fixes. So don't ever think government's going to be the solution to any problem, because it's not.
00:20:59.700 So you take the foreign policy, you take the education, and then you just take the aspect of
00:21:06.460 the goal is lift people up, give them opportunities, and get out of the way. And we have to start looking.
00:21:13.960 I mean, you look at the debt now. This is what we're doing in our country. People don't realize,
00:21:20.860 yeah, it's another stimulus. Yeah, it's $6 trillion. They know it's bad, but they don't know what this
00:21:25.200 really means. What this really means is we, for the first time, have our debt that's bigger than
00:21:33.160 our economy. We haven't had that since World War II, and this is peacetime. So what does that mean?
00:21:39.340 That means when you've got a debt higher than the economy, you are weakening the dollar. You know
00:21:44.060 who's celebrating? China and Russia. It's the reason China and Iran just established a bank together,
00:21:50.220 because they want to make sure that the dollar is no longer the world's reserve, and Russia's right
00:21:55.900 behind them waiting to tack on and do this. This is what I mean by getting in front of things.
00:22:02.100 Don't wait and keep putting out the symptoms. You've got a disease you've got to cure, and you've got to
00:22:07.080 get in front of it. You and I are, I'm probably older than you are, but we're about the same age.
00:22:11.440 You remember Reagan. Yes. And I remember him giving a speech where he said, there's going to
00:22:16.880 come a time when there are no good options left. If we don't get this under control, there will come
00:22:21.680 a time where there'll be no good options. I've been waiting for that time, you know, hoping that we
00:22:27.000 would avoid it somehow or another. We're there. If you look right now, you know, I love Bank of America
00:22:35.280 saying, you know, just transitory hyperinflation. Inflation is bad enough. Transitory hyperinflation?
00:22:44.800 Okay. So you look in the way, the only way to bring that money back is through interest rates.
00:22:52.000 They can't. If we would do what Volcker did in 1979, 1980, and put 7.9% interest on for the banks,
00:23:04.000 which I think translated into 17% for the average person, our, just our service of the debt, just the
00:23:15.820 interest would be $2.2 trillion every year. Our entire budget is 3.2.
00:23:24.240 You know, I think this goes to the bigger issue of how is it that we are seeing inflation go up the
00:23:31.140 way it is. And everybody's trying to justify that it's going to be okay. And the thing is,
00:23:39.280 it's only going to be okay. If you look in the mirror and say, what is the situation that we're
00:23:45.000 in? I'm an alcoholic. I told myself for a long time, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's nobody,
00:23:52.020 it's not going to be a problem. Then it's a problem. Because you have to hit rock bottom,
00:23:55.560 right? You have to hit rock bottom. And when we hit rock bottom, I think there's still because
00:24:00.140 rock bottom, I survived. Rock bottom for my mother was death. Okay. So some people are going to only
00:24:09.600 get it when it's over. And I don't think people understand, for instance, the loss of the reserve
00:24:16.000 currency of the world status would be catastrophic. We'll be Mexico. Will we not? I mean, it's a real
00:24:23.000 issue. And that's why this paying for everything and this move towards socialism is so dangerous.
00:24:30.760 I have been to those countries that have done it. They would give anything to be us, anything to be
00:24:37.360 us. And so, you know, at some point we've got to understand you don't pay people, which I personally
00:24:44.180 think that Biden is just paying everyone for a vote is what he's trying to do. But you don't pay
00:24:49.280 people off. You lift people up by giving them opportunities. That's America. That's the country
00:24:55.480 we love is, is the one my parents said, you know, they reminded my brothers, my sister, me every day,
00:25:01.440 how blessed we were to be in this country, because you in this country could be anything you wanted to
00:25:06.760 be. And no one was going to get in your way. It was about hard work. It was about sweat. And it was
00:25:11.660 about proving that you deserve to be there. So how do you get people in Washington to stop
00:25:20.080 spending money? They have lost the value of a dollar. I mean, the idea that our own Republicans
00:25:27.540 like if they had the value of a hundred billion dollars, if they just had value on that one,
00:25:32.380 let alone one dollar. But, you know, the idea that our Republicans were thinking about going back
00:25:37.300 to earmarks, that is unthinkable to me. Just because the Dems are doing it doesn't mean we do
00:25:45.300 it because that's our kids and our grandkids money. They're not going to forgive us for this.
00:25:49.780 So when does, when does the Republican Party, when I've been waiting, I've been calling a few friends
00:25:56.640 of mine in the Senate. I've got two and I've been calling my friends in the House, which I think I
00:26:03.760 have about five. And I've said, guys, you have got to stand up. You have to. If you could find one
00:26:11.200 Democrat who said, I believe in the Bill of Rights, I believe in the Bill of Rights and I believe in
00:26:16.440 common sense, you know, economies. And we don't agree on everything. But this has got to stop.
00:26:24.440 And none of you people are serious. And you said that in the well of the Senate or on the House
00:26:29.580 floor. And you had a Republican and a Democrat saying, I want nothing to do with either of you
00:26:35.200 guys until you get serious. I think you would change the world just as Sumner did in the 1850s,
00:26:44.640 making that same speech. Republicans and Democrats have failed us when it comes to Republican,
00:26:50.340 when it comes to fiscal responsibility and the debt. This is not forget the whole we'll print more
00:26:57.240 money and make this right. This is about world leadership. This is about national security.
00:27:04.620 This is about the future of our country. And this is about the fact that without fiscal responsibility
00:27:10.960 and with this overspending of broadening these government programs and making them bigger and
00:27:18.760 making them pay for more and making people more dependent, you're breaking the spirit of America.
00:27:25.740 That's my concern is the spirit of America has gotten us through everything.
00:27:31.140 Now, I've had our neighborliness. The fact that we trusted our neighbor, our neighbors are being
00:27:37.780 pitted against each other. Once we then then you're Europe, then you're Europe. Yeah.
00:27:43.720 Americans have always been trusting. They've always been in it together. We'll get through it.
00:27:49.640 That's what makes America, America. We're losing that. And it's intentionally being destroyed.
00:27:55.880 But I have faith. I have faith. I know what America does when they need to hunker down and when
00:28:04.680 they need to be resilient and when they need to fight for the spirit of America. But we have to get
00:28:10.700 there. We have to stop. We have to tune out the noise because there's a lot of noise out there and
00:28:16.300 a lot of the noise is coming from the media. They want you to listen to all of these things that don't
00:28:21.420 matter. Republicans need to focus, tune out the noise and do the things we know will work. We have
00:28:29.920 the solutions. We know what they are. It's not easy. It's going to take a lot of effort. But I believe
00:28:36.540 in us and I believe we can get this done. OK, so just pretend I'm not asking. I'm not playing a trick
00:28:42.700 with you or trying to ask you if you want to be president. I'm just saying imagine your president
00:28:46.380 this week. OK. Pipeline goes down. This president said that's a private industry. They'll have to
00:28:55.340 decide whether they're paying the ransom or not. The pipeline ended up paying five million dollar
00:29:00.520 ransom. OK. What would you have done if you were president this week? So I did it. I had
00:29:08.440 when I was governor of South Carolina, I had a foreign hacker, a group, hack our Department of
00:29:16.980 Revenue, ask for a ransom, ask for money. What we did is we did not pay the ransom. And I at that
00:29:27.160 point partnered with the private sector to come in and not just the Department of Revenue,
00:29:32.700 every agency go through and say, what do I need to do to make sure that every citizen and every
00:29:40.260 within every agency of information, we have it protected. We partnered with them. It was a drawn
00:29:47.240 out process. And there would be times finally by the end of it, there would be times I'd have my
00:29:52.940 director of DMV call and say, we're getting pinged by foreign hackers constantly. And I would say,
00:29:59.780 shut it down. You have to. What's amazing to me is Biden is going to talk about, you know,
00:30:06.000 this two trillion dollar infrastructure package. The hacking of this pipeline is just the beginning.
00:30:14.680 Cyber warfare is the cheapest form of warfare. And what we know is the countries that do it the most
00:30:20.220 are Iran, North Korea, China, Russia. Yep. This is all the beginning. So today it is the pipeline.
00:30:28.000 Tomorrow it's going to be your air traffic control. After that, it's going to be your utility grid.
00:30:32.880 We have got to be smart enough not to say, oh, this just happened. More is coming. We have got to work
00:30:40.280 with the not government, private sector to bring them in like I did and solidify all of those things.
00:30:47.020 Because we're I mean, this is about the next one. It's going to happen. See what I mean? I don't know
00:30:52.900 if you heard Joe Biden say, well, what we have to do is really we well we and he got lost for a while
00:31:00.520 and then said we have to invest in education. That's why their infrastructure is so important.
00:31:05.720 You're talking about educating people for something that is happening right now. And he wants kids to be
00:31:11.160 studying cybersecurity. So they're ready. Right. We have firms in place that know exactly what we need
00:31:17.860 to do. Isn't correct me if I'm wrong. As I read the Constitution. Isn't our government pretty useless
00:31:27.220 if they're not protecting us from foreign hacks and foreign threats? Isn't that their primary job
00:31:35.180 is to protect your citizens? Right. From harm. And so, look, I mean, and I think the part that scares
00:31:43.720 me, you know, if you somebody asked me what keeps you up at night, the thing that keeps me up at night
00:31:48.480 is China. And the reason that China keeps me up at night is just look at this scenario that they've
00:31:56.580 given us. When I was at the United Nations, my first year, they were what we knew of China, which was
00:32:04.300 quiet. They didn't want any public interaction. They, you know, talk to things, you know, simply
00:32:10.060 no fanfare. They didn't want anything. Once President Xi made himself king, got rid of term
00:32:16.880 limits. All of that changed. Overnight, they started infiltrating the U.N. trying to become heads of
00:32:23.180 different agencies. They started putting their fingers in countries' faces, threatening to saying,
00:32:28.980 you better vote with us or else. They just got extremely aggressive, more vocal, all of that.
00:32:35.280 They are now building up their military. They have the largest naval fleet in the world. They have
00:32:39.420 more air defense systems. They're modernizing their military. We're not. They continue to steal
00:32:45.100 intellectual property. President Trump was right to call them out on that. It's only as good as if we
00:32:49.600 follow up on it. The human rights abuses, this isn't just another human rights abuse. This is very
00:32:56.060 telling. Here you have a million Muslim Uyghurs in concentration camps, making them change their
00:33:01.600 name, change their religion, forcing them to drink, which is against their religion, sexual abuse,
00:33:06.880 physical abuse. We said that we would never again turn our eyes away from genocide. What is happening
00:33:15.560 there now? It's the reason why I think we should boycott the Olympics. When China did the last Olympics,
00:33:21.400 it was very much known that China saw it as their coming out party. When this Beijing Olympics happens,
00:33:28.640 they are planning that this is going to be them showing the world that they are the new superpower
00:33:33.980 of the world. And you mark my words, after that Olympics, if everything goes smooth, they're going to
00:33:39.720 take Taiwan. And when they take Taiwan, it's over. It's over. What does that mean? What does that mean?
00:33:46.360 It's over. Because if they, so they already tried it with Hong Kong to see if anybody was going to do
00:33:51.060 anything. And we didn't really do anything. If they take Taiwan, then it's, then it's not about
00:33:57.220 their region anymore. Then they're going to just go start taking other places. Then you're going to
00:34:02.020 start seeing them eat up other countries, even though they can't lay claim to them, they will.
00:34:08.580 And that's the danger of it. You know, then you go a step further. They have, you know, invested in all of
00:34:15.260 these little properties. These are frivolous infrastructure projects that they're doing.
00:34:19.080 They do it in these little countries waiting for such a time as this, when COVID hits, run up the
00:34:24.340 debt. And then they say, you can't pay it back. Give us your military installation. Give us your
00:34:29.200 port. Give us your utility. Now you look at that map, it'll send a chill up your spine. But the one that
00:34:36.160 I think is the worst, President Xi started a commission years ago that he personally chairs that
00:34:42.000 says any company that does business in China has to cooperate with the Chinese military.
00:34:47.380 Now think about our tech companies. Think about the health data. Think about our personal data.
00:34:53.420 Think about our families and think that the Chinese military has that. This played out in real time
00:34:59.200 during COVID. When two American companies, 3M and Honeywell, producing PPE, China would not let them
00:35:07.520 send it to us or any other country. Instead, they bought it wholesale and said, we will only give
00:35:13.640 it to countries who agree to do business with Huawei or 5G network. That is the country we're dealing
00:35:19.720 with. And now when you look at the fact we're seeing shortages everywhere, guess what one of the
00:35:24.960 major shortages is? Corn. Why? China bought more corn than they've ever bought before. What do we use
00:35:30.780 to feed our cattle? Corn. This is, we have to get smart to this. We have to get in front of this. We
00:35:39.100 have to start leading because we've got countries that want to ally with us. There are so many countries
00:35:45.640 are mad at what China did for COVID. You've got Canada who wants to boycott the Olympics. You've got
00:35:50.640 Australia who called them out and said that they need to explain what they did to COVID and they're
00:35:54.820 being sanctioned. You've got Japan who gave themselves a billion dollar stimulus to become less
00:35:59.600 dependent on China. You've got India that's seeing the aggressiveness coming. All of these countries,
00:36:05.940 we should be pulling them together in the name of one, being less dependent on China, two, calling
00:36:11.820 them out and making them pay. Why are we not having them in front of the Security Council or in front of
00:36:17.500 the world saying, what'd you know, when'd you know it and what'd you do about it?
00:36:20.420 So, I've been saying recently, and I've felt this way for a few years, but it's very apparent now.
00:36:31.760 There's an Axis power right now. There's an Axis power. They are Russia, China, Iran, South Korea.
00:36:40.060 That's it. That's the future of your enemy, whether it's war or whatever. But they are all aligned
00:36:49.300 to crush the West and specifically America. And we are sitting here. I don't, I mean,
00:37:00.300 I don't even know what we're doing. I don't even know what we're doing, but we're pissing off our
00:37:05.840 allies. We're betraying some of our allies. We're not helping and we're stabbing ourselves in the
00:37:12.900 back. I mean, look, you've got, you've got to start. I just think you have to be strong overseas
00:37:23.080 so that you're safe at home. And that means you have to leave. When I was at the UN, I told them
00:37:29.320 what we were for and what we were against. I didn't care if they didn't like me. I wanted them to respect
00:37:33.900 America and they want us to lead because they'd rather follow America than Russia or China. So
00:37:40.040 let's do it. Let's do that. And I think that, you know, what you're seeing now with China,
00:37:45.220 all of them smell blood in the water. All of them do. I mean, the idea that Hamas is doing this to
00:37:50.620 Israel, which is infuriating on so many levels. This is simply because Biden laid the groundwork.
00:37:58.140 They're just testing him. This is Osama bin Laden. If you know, his story was birthed under Reagan
00:38:08.200 with the, with the, um, the bombing of, uh, Oh, where was it? Uh, where was it? Remember when the
00:38:18.820 bombing happened, uh, and we lost the Marines, they bombed the Marine camp and he didn't respond.
00:38:26.400 The, the, the advice was don't respond. And so when they bombed those barracks,
00:38:33.860 bin Laden younger sees this and goes, they just made America move. They just made America blink.
00:38:41.880 We can do this. That was the reason our towers came down. What is going to be the result of all of this
00:38:51.240 hacking that is happening? All of the stuff that is happening with China, uh, making moves and
00:38:57.540 gobbling up country. What are our, our enemies all around the world beyond Russia and China?
00:39:06.320 Howard, do you think we're being viewed right now?
00:39:08.980 Well, I mean, I think you look at the fact that, you know, I said Hamas was testing us,
00:39:13.560 but look at the response Biden gave. He went and said, show restraint. You know,
00:39:18.660 both sides should show restraint. If we had a thousand rockets going into Washington DC and our
00:39:23.960 allies said, both sides should show constraint, you know, restraint, would we be okay with that?
00:39:29.800 And Israel is helps us on intelligence. They help us with technology. They've been a good friend of
00:39:34.820 us. We need to be there for them. We need to pull our allies close, but there's something wrong
00:39:40.220 when we're okay with NATO allowing Germany to deal with Nord Stream 2, which is, you know,
00:39:46.220 creating a dependency on Russia for oil. Nothing is happening there. We're not calling out China.
00:39:52.640 I was the first one to call out China on the Uyghurs and the security council, and they just were
00:39:57.660 shocked. Did you hear John Kerry this week? John Kerry said, well, we're looking into that. I understand
00:40:03.000 the state department is looking into that. We're not really sure, but if that indeed is happening,
00:40:07.700 we'll, I'm sure there will be sanctions. He's not calling out China because he wants China to be
00:40:12.060 in the Paris climate agreement and do environmental work. Well, I kind of think we have bigger issues
00:40:18.160 and, and losing loss, having that loss of life and concentration camps and genocide. I mean,
00:40:24.800 we are better than that. Like we should be calling them out on that. These are things where we don't
00:40:29.720 have to go to war. I'm not saying go to war in all these countries. This is, I think, just saying
00:40:37.280 things makes the world shudder. I think the, the Trump doctrine, and he also had something I've wanted
00:40:44.720 from every president we've ever had. Reagan just had, he was steeled. You knew he was not joking.
00:40:53.700 Um, and after Reagan, if you're not going to be steeled, I want the president to have just a little
00:40:59.700 bit of a twitch in his eye when he's talking. So they're like, you know, he might be crazy enough
00:41:05.060 to do that. Um, there was no doubt Trump did not want military all around the word world did not want
00:41:15.500 war didn't want it, but make no mistake. You screw with us. He would, he would take the giant boot of
00:41:24.980 America and shove it where the sun don't shine. You know, a funny story is, um, you know, he and I
00:41:30.640 worked closely together when I was working on the sanctions against North Korea and I was having to
00:41:35.420 negotiate with China to get it done. And, um, you know, I would always kind of work on different
00:41:41.840 things. And when they weren't like really wanting to jump, I'd say, okay, but I can't promise you
00:41:48.140 what president Trump's going to do. Now he always knew when I was doing that. And a reporter asked
00:41:52.800 him, you know, when Kim was testing ballistic missiles, he goes, you know, president Trump,
00:41:56.940 how do you deal with a crazy man? And the president's response was, I don't know. Ask Kim
00:42:01.920 that worked. Glenn, I mean, it worked. We used that. And the president and I would balance that off
00:42:09.100 and he knew I would do it. And he would say, Nikki, use it. I knew that I had that in my pocket
00:42:15.100 and it worked. Yeah. You want them to fear you just enough. You don't want to be predictable.
00:42:21.900 Right. But when you lead and when you say something, you stick to it. You don't waver.
00:42:28.480 Predictable unpredictability. Yes. Is what is needed. Absolutely.
00:42:32.160 He's a world leader, I think. Absolutely. You know, he, I don't know if you ever heard the story
00:42:38.640 about, and I'm not going to get into it now, but the story of him with Tiffany's and how he got
00:42:43.980 to build the Trump Tower. You know the story? Yeah.
00:42:48.680 It's the most brilliant story ever. I'm not surprised.
00:42:52.600 And he did it by going to Tiffany's who owned all the air rights. And he said, here's what I want to
00:43:00.320 build. And they said, sorry, we're not going to do that. You know, not for you. We want this,
00:43:06.360 we want Fifth Avenue to stay nice. And he said, okay, thought you'd say that. Here's what I'm
00:43:10.580 going to build then instead. And it was a monstrosity. They gave him the air rights by the
00:43:17.320 time he came home, by the time he got back to the office, because they looked at each other and said,
00:43:22.920 that's, he might do that. He might do that. We don't have that. In fact, we have, we have a
00:43:32.680 president now that is kind of like, you know what? He might just surrender to us. He might be on our
00:43:40.280 side. Look, there was, I took a lot of heat at the time when I went to the UN and I said, we're
00:43:44.760 taking names, you know, because one, it wasn't diplomatic. And they were like, what do you,
00:43:49.300 what does she mean? She's taking names. It was really to put everybody on notice that, look,
00:43:55.060 if you stab us in the back, we're going to take your name down. We're going to remember that.
00:44:00.200 But if you're our ally and friend, we're going to take names of our friends too. And we're going to
00:44:04.380 take care of our friends. It, you know, you have to lay that ground marker because one of the things,
00:44:09.960 I don't know if I ever told you, this is a great story. When the president, right after we moved
00:44:15.580 the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the whole world condemned us. I issued the American veto proud
00:44:22.360 moment. Even though I was standing alone, I was standing for truth. And I, I believed it. No,
00:44:28.600 I was happy to do it. But afterwards I took the names of everybody that voted, you know,
00:44:35.500 against us sustained. We actually won more votes than ever. We had 68 countries that agreed not to
00:44:41.680 condemn us, which was big in the 193. We'd never had a vote quite like that. Afterwards, I went to my
00:44:48.020 staff and I said, you know what, do this book. And we listed all 193 countries. We listed the percentage
00:44:56.020 of coincidence that they voted with us. And I had a column that showed foreign aid. And I took that
00:45:02.920 book and I gave it to the president. He lost his mind, Glenn. Like he's yelling, flipping pages,
00:45:08.680 all that. And I said, my point is not that we give aid based on a percentage of vote at the UN,
00:45:16.120 but that we start to be more strategic about who we partner with. You can't buy friends.
00:45:22.380 You know what that is? There is a study that was done on rich kids and poor kids and the kids that
00:45:29.400 were the most affluent, the ones, I think they did it in Beverly Hills or, you know, one of those
00:45:33.660 towns out west that, you know, mommy and daddy bought him a car, mommy and dad gave him the best,
00:45:39.720 you know, everything. And then they, they studied the kids that had to work for everything and even
00:45:46.740 had to support the family. You know, these, this family did not turn against their parents.
00:45:53.760 These did interesting, right? It's the same thing. You just, you're just a sugar daddy. And it's why
00:46:02.860 FDR said work fair, not welfare. Even FDR knew that. No, it's true. You, you, you have no respect
00:46:10.400 anymore. We were giving Pakistan a billion dollars in military aid and they were turning around harboring
00:46:17.780 our, um, harboring terrorists that were trying to kill our American soldiers. We stopped giving that
00:46:23.240 aid. And what we told him is when you want to partner with us, we'll talk to you again about
00:46:28.040 the aid, but we're not going to continue to do it. That's the kind of approach you have to take.
00:46:33.740 You know, Biden's going back to the old Obama style, which is by friends. It never works because
00:46:40.320 you know what? None of that is loyal. None of that. And I spent two years of my life with countries
00:46:46.200 trying to stab us in the back and turn around and have their hand out and we wouldn't do it. And you
00:46:51.580 have to just let them know you're onto them. And then when you do, they totally get back into shape.
00:46:58.040 So is everything lost that was done in those four years?
00:47:02.980 No, I don't think it is lost. I think first of all, I don't even think Biden was smart in the way
00:47:09.820 that, you know, he first of all decided he just was going to do Trump reversals, whether just in
00:47:15.420 the name, but I think it was a terrible mistake. But if he was going to do it. So let's say I Paris
00:47:21.840 climate agreement is a farce. It hurt America and it helped China. But if he believed he needed to get
00:47:27.600 back in it, wouldn't you before you get back in it, go to China and India and say, I'll get back in it
00:47:34.240 only when they do their part. If you're going to get back in the Human Rights Council, wouldn't you
00:47:40.360 say I'll only get back in the Human Rights Council when you stop having abusers on the cap? Like he
00:47:46.500 didn't leverage anything. If you're going to get back in the Iran deal, wouldn't you make them prove,
00:47:52.320 you know, that they were going to stop? He just reversed everything, including the border,
00:47:58.380 which Trump had a terrible board. Trump fixed it. He broke it. But the part that he can't erase,
00:48:05.140 and it's really a point of pride, I think, is the Abraham Accords. Because this was an amazing thing.
00:48:14.420 Many presidents before Trump had said that the only way to get peace in the Middle East was through
00:48:21.180 the Palestinians. The president went to his first foreign policy speech was to the Arab Summit. And he
00:48:28.380 said, I want us to unite against terrorism, meaning, translation, I want us to unite against Iran.
00:48:35.860 He got the attention of the Arab countries. Then he started to acknowledge truth. Jerusalem is the
00:48:41.980 capital of Israel. We're going to have Israel's back. This is what Israel can do for you. And I had,
00:48:48.660 it's interesting, I had a meeting. I and the British ambassador had a meeting with the Saudi and
00:48:53.220 the Emirati ambassador. They were complaining, you know, why doesn't anybody call out the Houthis for
00:48:59.120 the terrorist organization that they are? Why are they always hitting us? And I stopped them. And I
00:49:03.960 said, you know, I could make the same case for Hamas and Israel. But yet you say this about you.
00:49:10.340 We went on with the meeting, they pulled me aside afterwards. And they said, we know you're right.
00:49:15.240 And I said, why do you hit Israel the way you do? And the Emirati said, we do it because we have to
00:49:23.500 for our constituencies. And I said, at some point, you're going to have to have the courage to tell
00:49:31.180 your constituencies the truth. You fast forward to the Abraham Accords. That was the Emiratis having
00:49:37.880 the courage to tell their constituencies the truth. And what's happened since then is even though Biden
00:49:43.800 has associated with the Palestinians, Emiratis and Israelis still flying into each other's
00:49:49.780 countries, still doing trade because the Arab countries now realize they need Israel. It's not
00:49:55.800 Israel needs the Arab countries. Arab countries need Israel. So that is the part.
00:50:00.000 Why do they need Israel? Intelligence, protection from Iran, technology. There's a lot that Israel has
00:50:07.260 to offer. And now I think now they can admit it. So if you notice through all of this Israeli,
00:50:12.720 Palestinian crisis, you're not seeing them pull back because they get the benefit of what it's
00:50:19.080 going to mean to them. That's good. I was just looking at the numbers as you're talking about
00:50:22.640 this. Hamas, if you look at the number, the UN Human Rights Council condemns countries. North
00:50:32.560 Korea, 14. Zimbabwe, 2. Venezuela, 2. Pakistan, 0. Somalia, 0. Belarus. I don't even know what is
00:50:40.560 happening in Belarus. 11. Turkey, 0. Russia, 0. Sudan, 0. Syria, 36. China, 0. Saudi Arabia, 0. Qatar, 0. Iran, 11. Iraq, 0. Israel, 94.
00:50:54.560 Yes. Why does the world hate them?
00:50:59.000 It's why I screamed about it for two years. You know, it's one of those things they refuse
00:51:07.120 to acknowledge Israel's right to exist. And the amazing thing is, you know, it was their
00:51:13.720 deal. It was the UN that put it together. But you know, Glenn, I'll say you can't destroy
00:51:20.980 what God has blessed. God has blessed Israel. They're fighters. Even through this crisis,
00:51:26.460 they're going to continue to be okay. And everyone's going to continue to fear Israel.
00:51:30.940 But you know what? Israel shouldn't be going at this alone. We just need to have their back. You
00:51:36.400 can't have a country that we share the values more than we do or all of that. Like, it's so important.
00:51:43.120 We need Israel. You know, Israel needs us. If we can keep a strong Israel, it makes the region safer.
00:51:50.740 That's what peace in the Middle East is. But they do it because they can. And they do it because the
00:51:56.300 Human Rights Council is full of a member, the people who sit on the council, China, Russia,
00:52:02.840 Saudi Arabia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, like when you have bad actors, it's the reason I
00:52:08.440 pulled us out of the Human Rights Council is because one of our European allies said,
00:52:12.840 you have to stay there because you're the last bit of credibility that council has.
00:52:17.660 I went straight to the president and I said, it's time to get out. Because I didn't want the U.S.
00:52:22.000 to be the reason it had an ounce of credibility.
00:52:28.060 Do you watch James Bond movies?
00:52:32.260 My dad loved James Bond movies. So I watched them while he watched them.
00:52:36.040 Have you watched, but you haven't watched the Daniel Craig movies?
00:52:38.740 I haven't.
00:52:39.320 Okay. There is this, they're really, they're much better than the old James Bond movies.
00:52:45.720 In it, the last five movies have been just trying to get your arms around this
00:52:52.240 global group of countries that are working together to do business and to get things done
00:53:03.760 and control without anybody really knowing what's happening.
00:53:08.160 And I see that and I'm like, hmm, wow, that sounds, that sounds like, you know, something
00:53:16.780 that could actually be happening, especially with the Great Reset.
00:53:20.560 As I look at the, the talk of what happened to Donald Trump, there were people all over the
00:53:30.740 globe and some of our allies that didn't seem to be helpful at the kindest way.
00:53:43.540 Were our intelligence agencies connecting with each other on things like Ukraine and working
00:53:50.800 against our president?
00:53:53.780 It wasn't that, no. So I think our intelligence agencies were working together. The one thing I
00:54:00.440 can tell you is, you know, a lot of people said, oh, America's isolating itself. Trump is isolating
00:54:05.280 America and, you know, we're abandoning our allies. That's not what it was. What Trump was doing was
00:54:10.640 tough love, which is, okay, NATO, you know, if we're all getting together in the name of being able to
00:54:18.360 defend ourselves from Russia, America can't be the only country paying up. We need you to pay more.
00:54:24.800 We're all better when we're all stronger. So let's be strong together. They didn't like that.
00:54:30.540 They kind of voiced that, but they paid it. And Trump then went and said, why are we allowed,
00:54:39.660 allowing Germany to have this Nord Stream 2 pipeline that's going to make them dependent on Russia
00:54:45.180 and all that. They didn't like that, but he did it. When it came to the border,
00:54:51.120 Honduras and Guatemala, our friends, they love America. I was on the ground in Honduras and
00:54:57.240 Guatemala when we were going through the border crisis. And what we did was we said, okay, you
00:55:03.100 have gangs, you have cartels, you've got issues. The president said, we'll partner with you.
00:55:09.540 Gave military training so they knew how to fight the cartels. Gave intelligence
00:55:13.740 support so that we could stop the drugs that were coming in through the waterways and said, but
00:55:20.500 you have to keep your people there and they have to file the right way to cross the border.
00:55:27.740 It was tough love. They didn't like it. Same with Mexico, same with Canada. It is, again,
00:55:34.220 leading is not about having everybody like you. Leading is about lifting everyone up and getting
00:55:44.700 everyone to see where it is you're trying to go. And I think that's what he did. And people didn't
00:55:50.440 like the way he did it, but it was the right tone at the right time for the right reasons. I mean,
00:55:57.600 just think if he wouldn't have called out China. Just think one of the things that upset Russia the
00:56:03.840 most, I mean, they all said that Trump was in it with Russia. The two things that Russia didn't want
00:56:08.360 us to do, they didn't want us to build up our military and they didn't want us to be energy
00:56:12.620 independent. President Trump did both of those. Russia was very upset with us over that.
00:56:17.420 Correct. And so, you know, we did everything that made us strong.
00:56:22.160 But we're now undoing that. Right. We're quickly not going to be energy independent, which is
00:56:26.960 something I never thought we could achieve in my lifetime. I really never thought that.
00:56:31.700 Do you remember the days of when, if something happened in Saudi Arabia?
00:56:34.940 Oh yeah, we panicked. We were all sitting there with the prices go up and we didn't have that
00:56:39.640 problem. It infuriated Russia that we didn't have that problem, which is why the colonial pipeline,
00:56:44.500 my belief rushes behind that. So I know your expertise is not intel, but you have enough
00:56:52.600 experience. Do you believe at all the biggest threat to the Republic and the biggest threat to
00:57:02.520 America is coming from white extremists? I think the media wants that to be the narrative.
00:57:13.380 I think the media, it's, it's really, it's more than the media. Are white extremists an issue?
00:57:21.720 Yeah. Yes. I dealt with the church shooting that dealt with the white extremists. It's very damaging.
00:57:26.440 We have to cut hate off every time we see it. I think everybody agrees with that.
00:57:32.340 But the race war that has happened has been started by the Democrats and inflamed by the media.
00:57:39.100 And the idea that when Democrats don't have the answer to anything, they call you racist and they
00:57:46.520 claim you're, you're a white extremist is a problem. Go back to the Georgia bill. Okay. So if you look at
00:57:53.300 that and everybody has had all this to say, when I was governor in 2011, um, I pushed for voter ID
00:58:02.560 and I was vilified by the media. I was vilified by the Democrats. You're trying to disenfranchise
00:58:08.540 voters. They're not going to be able to get a picture ID. And I said at the time, if you have
00:58:12.320 to have a picture ID to buy Sudafed, you have to have picture ID to get on a plane. Why would you
00:58:16.980 not have to have picture ID to protect the integrity of the election process? And I said, but I hear you.
00:58:22.740 So that is why I will make sure anyone that needs a picture ID, we will go pick you up. We will take
00:58:29.560 you to the DMV. I'll give you a free picture ID and I will return you home safely. Out of 5 million
00:58:35.920 people, 25 people asked for a ride. We passed voter ID. We now have more people voting in South Carolina
00:58:42.660 than ever before. But this is the heart of what I'm trying to say. Democrats are quick to say
00:58:49.760 that we are the racist. What is demeaning, degrading and racist from the Democrats is for them to imply
00:58:58.800 that minorities are incapable of getting a picture ID, that minorities are incapable of deciding which
00:59:04.620 school their kids should go to, that minorities are incapable of being successful if they have the
00:59:10.700 same opportunities. Minorities, we are perfectly capable of doing every one of those things. And
00:59:16.760 it's insulting to imply otherwise. So the Democrats are implying that Republicans are racist. The media
00:59:23.680 loves to blow that up. No, the ones that are racist are the ones that aren't allowing school
00:59:28.400 choice, aren't allowing us to have voter ID, aren't allowing everything else. They did a poll, 73%
00:59:33.760 of Americans, Republican and Democrat, want voter ID. Oh yeah. It makes sense.
00:59:40.480 Yes. It's accountability. We all want transparency and accountability. Yes. And we should always want
00:59:46.100 to perfect that. I would, you know, I said to the president after the election, I said, personally,
00:59:52.460 you will never convince me that this election was on the up and up. However, I don't know if that's
01:00:00.040 enough to have changed the results. I don't have any evidence, but he's the constitutional president now.
01:00:07.840 Personally, I don't believe that. But that is disturbing because most people, you can't go
01:00:16.300 through another election that you don't believe. You know, it's one thing if it's a one-off and you're
01:00:23.500 like, ah, that seemed really dirty to me. If the next one is dirty and, or a great number of people feel
01:00:33.780 that way, you're not going to have a republic. It is the one thing we must have.
01:00:41.100 We have to have faith in our election process. I've seen too many countries where they don't have it.
01:00:48.340 And that's when you have civil wars break out. That's when you have all these other things.
01:00:53.100 What I will tell you, what I believe happened within the election is we saw corruption. We saw
01:01:00.120 corruption in the fact that secretaries of state did things without the sign-off by their legislatures.
01:01:06.880 We saw that they were counting ballots past election day. We saw, you know, the mail-out balloting.
01:01:12.420 Whenever you do that, you're going to have issues. I don't think it was enough to have changed the
01:01:16.640 results of the election, but I think it was enough that every state should go back and look at their
01:01:21.540 election laws and make sure that it doesn't happen.
01:01:24.120 That it doesn't happen. And I think we're seeing that. I think, um, I saw in Arizona,
01:01:28.980 Doug Ducey just stopped mail, mail-out balloting. You saw Georgia just did that. I think Texas is
01:01:34.480 doing their, every state should look back and say, what else can we do to make sure that the most
01:01:40.280 people can vote with accountability and credibility in the process so that we can feel good about it.
01:01:46.300 We started talking about 20 years out, two years out. What does America look like?
01:01:51.400 I think two years out, the, um, liberals will have swung so far to the left that I think we win
01:01:58.420 the house back in, um, 2022. And I'm an optimist. We take the Senate because I think that Warnock does
01:02:07.480 not represent Georgia. We shouldn't have lost those two Georgia races. Georgia is not a blue state.
01:02:12.840 Um, we need a good candidate to run against Warnock. It's tough to run. Why did he win?
01:02:18.680 He, there were a couple of things at play. I mean, from what I saw, I campaigned for
01:02:22.820 Kelly Loeffler before the general, I campaigned for both David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler after the
01:02:28.120 general. I think you had a few issues at hand. I think that people were all out of sorts from the
01:02:33.700 election. Um, you know, I, the president didn't help us out with those Georgia races and, and I felt it
01:02:41.280 on the ground. I mean, I felt people were upset. He called the secretary of state. I have two
01:02:45.540 brothers that live in the suburbs of Atlanta and they just said that after the rally, when,
01:02:50.640 you know, the focus wasn't on the two candidates, just a bunch of neighbors didn't show up, um, to
01:02:55.860 vote. And I think what we're, and then you had, you know, four out of the five, um, highest voting
01:03:01.460 districts in Georgia that voted for Trump and the general didn't show up in the runoff. And look,
01:03:08.100 elections have consequences and we are feeling the burn. So what happens if Donald Trump decides,
01:03:16.440 you know, I'm just, I'm, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna run, but I don't really wanna. And he just,
01:03:24.040 I mean, are you, is the Republican party going to be able to pull itself back together? I mean, I,
01:03:29.420 as you said earlier, look, you may not like Trump. I, in the end did like him. I thought he was
01:03:35.500 actually entertaining and funny. Um, uh, and his policies were right, but, uh, you may not like
01:03:42.100 him fine, but do you agree on the constitution? Do you agree on just a few policies that are
01:03:49.640 gigantic that have to be done? We have to get a few things under control. And I think if that's
01:03:57.160 the message and you actually have a Democrat, you know, or being a Republican party with a plan,
01:04:03.760 um, I think you can pull a lot of people in, but if we're still fighting about Trump and Trump is not
01:04:12.660 engaged or whatever happens, we, we, we lose our shirt. I mean, we have to, you know, I think that
01:04:20.700 there's a few things. One, we want to keep those voters that Trump brought in, like where I was
01:04:26.080 raised, they felt unheard, misunderstood. We want to keep them. We need to add the women back. We
01:04:31.640 need to win the suburbs back. We need, Republicans need to expand our tent. We've lost the last seven
01:04:37.080 out of eight popular votes for president. We need to engage Hispanics. We need to engage the Jewish
01:04:42.900 community. We need to engage Asians. We need to engage African-Americans. I did it in South Carolina.
01:04:47.840 It can be done and you do it in a conservative way, but you have to show up. You have to,
01:04:54.060 because guess what? When you talk to them, they care about the education of their children.
01:04:58.440 They care about opportunities. It's, you know, and so we just have to show up and start talking about
01:05:03.800 that. So I know we're at the end of our time here, but I, I, I want to ask you, how do you engage
01:05:10.860 when you have social media doing what they're doing? I mean, what they did with the Hunter Biden
01:05:17.320 laptop is one of the biggest stories in American history politically. It was, it's criminal what
01:05:25.540 they did. Their power is only growing. How do we engage? Big tech is a problem. And look, this is
01:05:37.000 the way I see big tech and I am the idea that they, look, if you, you want to take someone down
01:05:45.560 for 24 hours or 48 hours or if you, whatever, that's one thing to literally eliminate the former
01:05:52.960 president of the United States while you have the Ayatollah and a boss still on there.
01:05:59.040 I could go and find the Ayatollah's point of view saying death to America, correct? But I couldn't
01:06:05.600 find Donald Trump. No. So what does that tell us? It tells us that, look, these platforms, once you
01:06:12.020 open a door, you can't close it. These platforms came to us in the name of free speech. That's what
01:06:18.740 we wanted. And they asked for section 230 for protection so that no matter what was there, they
01:06:25.180 wouldn't get sued. If they are now going to decide that they pick who is right and who is wrong and
01:06:32.960 they don't tell us the rules of the game, Congress needs to go back. But are they going to, but are
01:06:38.480 they going to do it? Well, Congress needs to step up. Like how much longer do we hear Congress whine
01:06:43.920 and complain about immigration, whine and complain about big tech, whine and complain about Iran? What?
01:06:49.540 Do something. Do something. I don't want congressional members with soundbites. I want congressional
01:06:54.960 members with action. Let's get it done like they did with the judges. Let's get it. You know,
01:07:01.220 if they could do it with the judges, then why can't we do this with these things that matter?
01:07:06.980 Because I look, I don't think we have time to whine and complain about big tech or media or any of that,
01:07:12.600 but you can do something about it. And when I say Republicans are too nice, that's what I'm talking
01:07:17.840 about. I don't think you have to be rude. I believe you kick with a smile. Let's get it done. But it's
01:07:23.840 got to be done. Okay. Last thing. How do people get involved? I know you have the stop communism
01:07:29.640 petition. You have a lot of things going on. If you were to direct one person who was listening to you
01:07:35.440 and they go, okay, I want to do something. What should people do? Well, we started a policy
01:07:41.740 organization to put out more conservative news. And the goal was we now send out emails every day to
01:07:48.840 get people to care and it'll cover all kinds of issues. It may be talking about the censorship
01:07:54.460 of big tech and what needs to be done about it or the problems with Iran or what this infrastructure
01:08:01.400 stimulus really means and what's in it. And we send those out every day. In the last couple of years,
01:08:06.880 we already have 2 million members and small donors to Stand for America. So what I'd love is for your
01:08:13.520 viewers to go to StandForAmerica.com. Sign up. We'll send you the information. And our goal is let's
