The Great America Show - MARXIST DEMS ARE DESTROYING PUBLIC EDUCATION, OUR GREATEST EQUALIZER

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and welcome to The Great America Show.

00:00:04.860 Delighted to have you with us as we come together working to preserve truth, justice, and the American way.

00:00:12.060 Democrats struggling with both truth and justice when they talk about January 6th these days.

00:00:18.280 The president is no better. Truth, the farthest thing from President Biden's mind,

00:00:23.280 when he gave his commencement address at the University of Delaware this past Saturday.

00:00:27.620 Not for the first time, President Biden falsely claimed that Trump supporters had killed police officers

00:00:34.900 in the January 6th demonstrations and riots on Capitol Hill.

00:00:39.940 Biden called the Trump supporters insurrectionists, staying with the Democrat Party line and narrative, of course.

00:00:47.840 For the record, one Capitol Hill police officer did die the day after,

00:00:52.520 but his death was found to have been caused by two strokes.

00:00:56.200 The result of a blood clot in an artery.

00:01:00.160 Two other policemen died in the weeks after January 6th, both suicides.

00:01:05.240 In July of that year, two more police officers who were at the Capitol on January 6th also committed suicide.

00:01:13.700 Four officer suicides.

00:01:16.460 Highly unusual, don't you think?

00:01:18.820 But the president chose not to note their causes of death, and he should have.

00:01:23.880 And the four suicides should have been investigated already.

00:01:28.320 Instead, they're just a line in the Democrat narrative of lies about January 6th.

00:01:35.240 Vice President Harris this weekend at the funeral of a victim of the Buffalo racially motivated massacre

00:01:40.920 said the country is in an epidemic of hate.

00:01:45.320 Harris may be right,

00:01:46.420 But we know the fundamental reason for both tragedies in Buffalo and Texas is the mental illness of both shooters.

00:01:54.760 Of course, neither Harris nor Biden has addressed that issue following both incidents.

00:02:00.140 And until we do address that issue, honestly and forthrightly, the tragedies are likely to go on needlessly.

00:02:08.760 The Biden administration seems unaware of their standing in the opinion polls,

00:02:13.980 and that standing is a record low.

00:02:17.240 Almost 80% say the country's headed in the wrong direction.

00:02:20.540 Yet President Biden and his puppet masters seem to think they can just stay the course,

00:02:26.380 that they can go on with their politics and division and hate,

00:02:30.320 while they push CRT, DEI, that is critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion or identity,

00:02:39.180 and other Marxist doctrine, whether in our schools, government, or business.

00:02:44.180 And they aren't backing off, in fact, trying harder now than ever to keep parents barricaded from their children

00:02:51.100 when the children are in the classroom.

00:02:54.400 Congressman Byron Donalds is demanding answers from schools and textbook publishers

00:02:59.760 about their insistence on talking race in the classroom

00:03:03.760 and publishing textbooks with CRT and DEI in them, even in math textbooks.

00:03:11.600 Congressman Donalds is our guest today.

00:03:14.180 And, Congressman, it is great to have you back with us here on The Great America Show.

00:03:20.060 It's good to be back with you.

00:03:22.340 Congressman, I have to say your performance on the panel on CRT in Florida math books

00:03:30.140 was, I thought, outstanding, educational, strong,

00:03:34.440 and put a lot of people who didn't want to be on tenderhooks.

00:03:39.460 Here is the congressman asking essential questions about CRT and mathematics.

00:03:47.120 I don't want children being focused, having their attention distracted from actual learning.

00:03:54.700 If we're going to talk about history, let's talk about history.

00:03:57.000 But if we're going to bring in subjective material into the classroom,

00:04:01.000 that is the problem that has some parents upset in the United States.

00:04:05.060 And that's the concern that we need to think about.

00:04:06.920 That is not a free speech issue because students are a captive audience.

00:04:10.800 They don't get to leave.

00:04:12.140 Adults, we can walk out anytime we want to.

00:04:14.240 The kids cannot.

00:04:15.360 That's why this is such an important discussion to be had.

00:04:18.140 Madam Chair, thank you so much for the indulgence.

00:04:21.140 Congressman Byron Donalds.

00:04:22.940 And, Congressman, again, it's great to have you with us.

00:04:26.020 And it's especially great to see you performing at a high level for parents who are so worried about their children

00:04:33.300 and the attempted intervention in that relationship between parents and children in our public schools

00:04:39.240 by textbooks, textbook makers, teachers' unions, and all sorts of nonsense.

00:04:47.880 Are you making headway?

00:04:49.260 I think what's happening is we're getting the information out for people to see it.

00:04:54.920 And not just, you know, on the Republican side of the aisle.

00:04:58.340 I think the arguments that a lot of us have with respect to being opposed to critical race theory subject matter

00:05:07.460 being introduced in textbooks and curriculum and worksheets through just classroom discussion,

00:05:15.120 I think the points we're making are becoming very clear.

00:05:17.720 In that hearing, two of the majority's witnesses, two of the Democrats' witnesses in that hearing,

00:05:25.860 one was a principal who was fired in Texas because he would not stop using CRT in his school,

00:05:34.040 so he was fired by his school district.

00:05:35.940 The other one was a lady who works at a nonprofit think tank that centers around free speech issues, 1.00

00:05:46.400 free ideas, so on and so forth.

00:05:49.380 So when I showed them all the graph from this textbook, the principal thought it was okay.

00:05:55.080 But the star witness for the Democrats actually agreed with me that this was material that was inappropriate

00:06:01.600 to be in a mathematics textbook.

00:06:04.620 And I think for a lot of people on the other side of the aisle, or people who are just independent,

00:06:09.560 they don't really know how they feel about it or what they know about this issue,

00:06:13.660 the key thing is you do not want subjective material in front of children.

00:06:18.700 Like, just have them be focused on learning.

00:06:21.440 Once they become adults, once they go to college,

00:06:23.720 if you want to start having more esoteric and philosophical conversations about systemic racism,

00:06:31.660 critical race theory, that's okay, I guess, at the college level,

00:06:36.060 but it's not okay in K-12 education.

00:06:39.660 They need to be getting the basics of education,

00:06:42.420 understanding basic facts that we all agree are legitimate and factual.

00:06:47.140 And then from there, you can go off into your more Socratic thinking

00:06:50.540 later on down the line as you mature, as you become older, so on and so forth.

00:06:54.400 Right.

00:06:55.000 Well, I think that's generous of you to call it Socratic thinking,

00:06:57.620 because most young adults are engaged in some kind of thinking,

00:07:02.680 and usually it's not quite as rigorous as Socratic,

00:07:06.500 but I take your meaning and I agree with you entirely.

00:07:10.140 When you talk about mathematics, and this to me is just an essential truth,

00:07:15.840 mathematics is objective.

00:07:17.860 There is no room for subjectivity, unless you're getting into theoretical mathematics,

00:07:23.940 which, by the way, as we know, some people have tried to do with basic math.

00:07:30.300 It's just stunning to think that we would see CRT,

00:07:35.260 that textbook manufacturers would have the arrogance to insert CRT into their textbooks

00:07:42.500 and to put it in the marketplace, if you will, and to have it accepted.

00:07:47.800 A lot of school districts, I'm sure, have no idea what's in those textbooks,

00:07:51.500 because they just take the state ed department's word for it all.

00:07:56.860 That's absolutely correct.

00:07:57.960 So if your state has a State Department of Education that either A, promotes it,

00:08:03.440 or B, doesn't look for it, it's in your textbooks.

00:08:06.840 It's in textbooks in fifth grade, it's in textbooks in eighth grade, it's in textbooks in high school.

00:08:12.080 And this is the problem, Lou, is that the textbook manufacturers,

00:08:16.580 they do the same diversity, equity, and inclusion seminars that the school districts do.

00:08:22.220 They get them from the same nonprofit think tanks that actually do subscribe to critical race theory.

00:08:28.060 And so these things are coming in through textbooks, through classroom material.

00:08:33.180 And so the argument from the political left is we don't teach critical race theory in schools.

00:08:37.960 That's technically correct.

00:08:39.480 There are no real classes on critical race theory.

00:08:41.980 There are a handful of schools throughout the country, but it's not, for lack of a better word,

00:08:47.760 systematic throughout the entire United States.

00:08:50.000 But what is clear, what is apparent, is that in textbooks and in curriculum, those topics are being brought into the textbooks.

00:09:00.460 So as a child is doing a math problem, they're having to wade through a chart on implicit biases.

00:09:06.940 And the chart was created by one of these nonprofit foundations that subscribes to critical race theory.

00:09:12.540 Right. It is peculiar to me that people do not always grasp that if you have created a system of indoctrination,

00:09:22.620 Marxist-left indoctrination, in point of fact, across K-12 and, of course, throughout higher education,

00:09:30.960 that you're going to have professors who are writing textbooks who are leftists

00:09:36.460 and who will be subscribing to various Marxist philosophies, including D-E-I-E-S-G-C-R-T.

00:09:44.920 I mean, you can go through the alphabet with these people.

00:09:47.200 It's all hogwash, every bit of it.

00:09:50.380 And to be teaching children, particularly young children, that they're disadvantaged

00:09:56.900 or that they are either oppressors or oppressed.

00:10:00.700 This is madness, because the public school system in this country is why we're where we are today as a nation.

00:10:08.840 It is the great equalizer.

00:10:10.900 You can take all of the programs and all of the nonsense and all of the trillions of dollars we've spent,

00:10:17.260 and nothing is more important to changing the lives of young people, of every race, every creed,

00:10:25.280 you name it, than education, public education.

00:10:28.720 I mean, Lou, you said it better than I could.

00:10:31.500 I mean, you're a preacher right now.

00:10:32.640 I say you continue to do that.

00:10:34.260 But listen, you're absolutely right.

00:10:36.740 If the changing, the educational landscape, if a child actually, number one,

00:10:41.560 learns the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic, arithmetic history, that's number one.

00:10:46.780 Number two, if a child actually has the opportunity to learn what their strengths are as an individual,

00:10:52.140 which is something I think that actually has been missing in education for the last 50, 60 years,

00:10:57.340 is that everybody, you, me, doesn't matter who it is, everybody has an inherent gift, talent, strength that God has given them.

00:11:07.600 You know, there are things I'm great at, my wife is not great at, and vice versa.

00:11:11.080 But if you don't know what that is, a lot of times we don't really figure that out.

00:11:16.340 So we're 30 years old, 35 years old, and we really figure out, like, oh, my gosh, this is the thing that I really can do and do well.

00:11:24.020 What we should be doing in education is helping children find what their strengths are so that as they go through the education process,

00:11:31.800 especially in high school, they can begin to focus on what their strengths are because we all know when you're an adult,

00:11:38.860 the area that you work in, the thing that you do to make a living, the thing that you do to transform an industry,

00:11:45.060 the business you start, whatever that is, a lot of that is because it's a strength, it's a passion that you've had for a very long time.

00:11:52.180 Now you've just figured out how to monetize it and be able to do it in our economy.

00:11:56.780 So we should be helping kids find their strengths a lot sooner so that they then can look at education as a way to enhance their strengths,

00:12:06.760 to leverage their strengths to being productive men and women in America.

00:12:11.860 Well said.

00:12:13.100 And I have to say, I wish that I could believe that the National Teachers Federation, the NEA,

00:12:21.340 would be listening to Congressman Donald and taking his advice.

00:12:25.780 But right now we are locked up in a contest, a political contest in this country between the left's agenda and what the American people need.

00:12:36.760 Right now, just for their basic survival in this hyperinflationary period, in this period in which we are wracked by so many disruptions and difficult, difficult challenges,

00:12:48.660 because it is just scary to think what our children must feel as they're witnessing adults flail as our Congress and our Senate tries to at least keep up with the issues that are so important to the nation.

00:13:03.500 It really is a terrifying moment, I'm sure, for many of those children, because they're being told between the ages of five and nine.

00:13:14.800 They're sitting there talking about sex and gender choices.

00:13:20.600 This is madness, is it not?

00:13:22.300 It absolutely is.

00:13:25.220 I mean, first of all, a child doesn't hit puberty till 11 years old, maybe 12.

00:13:31.640 So why are you talking about sexual identities in kindergarten, in third grade, in fifth grade?

00:13:38.640 I have an 11, I have a 10-year-old son.

00:13:40.380 He's actually turning 11 this weekend, Luke.

00:13:43.500 Well, happy birthday.

00:13:44.560 He knows he's a boy, but have we engaged in sexual identity conversations?

00:13:51.500 No, we have not.

00:13:52.940 Number one, because he's a boy.

00:13:54.400 He knows that, I know that, and so the conversation's kind of over from there.

00:13:58.300 But the reality is, he's not mentally mature enough, he's not emotionally mature enough,

00:14:04.500 and his body's going to undergo so many physiological changes over the next five to seven years.

00:14:11.340 He's not prepared for that conversation.

00:14:13.200 I think that one of the things that we've allowed to happen in the United States,

00:14:18.460 where you're talking to children at such young ages about their gender identity,

00:14:22.340 about their sexual orientation, is that they're still changing and evolving.

00:14:26.740 They've not become who they're actually going to be as young adults moving into adulthood.

00:14:32.020 Why would you inject conversations into children writ large

00:14:38.660 when you know they're not even fully developed, both mentally and physically?

00:14:42.600 To me, it doesn't make any sense.

00:14:45.560 It's insane to me, but there are people who legitimately think this is okay.

00:14:50.200 They may legitimately think that, as you put it, but I also think you used the right word.

00:14:55.960 This is insane.

00:14:57.060 And we've got to be questioning the emotional and mental state of these teachers and these teachers' organizations

00:15:07.240 that are pushing this on our children and trying to do so, by the way, without involving parents,

00:15:14.480 by trying to do it in the classroom.

00:15:17.300 And there is no class on CRT.

00:15:20.840 There is no class on gender identification.

00:15:23.560 This is being insinuated into these young people's time in school.

00:15:28.460 And as you pointed out so eloquently, you know, children don't have a choice.

00:15:32.440 They're a captive audience.

00:15:33.480 And every parent, every one of us should be rigorously and diligently making certain what

00:15:40.600 is being said and done in those classrooms.

00:15:43.100 Because, frankly, this is far too important to trust to two unions and a group of, obviously,

00:15:50.860 emotionally disturbed people who want to talk sex to children of those ages. 0.79

00:15:56.480 It's appalling.

00:15:59.160 Listen, I've got to tell you.

00:16:00.360 I'm going to tell you right now, Lou.

00:16:01.440 I have a friend of mine who represents, he's on a city council in a major city in our country.

00:16:08.240 He's on the other side of the aisle, okay?

00:16:10.900 We had a conversation about this.

00:16:12.980 And he said to me, he was like, my party is crazy when it comes to this.

00:16:17.560 He was like, I don't know what is wrong with them that they think this is okay.

00:16:22.060 Because the one thing we know, and this is going to be an issue for Democrats.

00:16:25.620 You know, this is the political side of this.

00:16:27.980 There's a lot of Black voters.

00:16:29.460 The majority of Black voters do not want you talking to their children about gender identity.

00:16:34.260 They just, they do not want that at all.

00:16:37.240 That is something in the Black community that, it's just not up for discussion.

00:16:42.820 Like, you're, like, my mother, there's no way my mother would let some teacher talk to me 1.00

00:16:47.460 about my gender identity when I was eight years old or nine years old.

00:16:52.120 No, there's no way.

00:16:52.940 She would not stand for it.

00:16:54.160 There's no way.

00:16:54.720 And so I think that what Democrats need to understand on this issue is that they cannot

00:17:00.620 allow their radical flank to basically move them out of the mainstream, because that's

00:17:06.680 what's happening.

00:17:07.720 Because when you have vote, not just conservative voters, not just Republican voters, when you

00:17:12.140 have voters overall who are basically like, that's crazy, I'm not subscribing to that.

00:17:17.940 That's when the problems really occur for them as a party.

00:17:20.120 I've got to be straightforward with you on this, Congressman.

00:17:24.020 I could care less if a Democrat, a Democrat anywhere, ever wins election again, because

00:17:29.940 what they have done in this country in the last few years and what they did to President

00:17:35.020 Trump and to this nation during his presidency is unspeakably evil.

00:17:40.960 And we are watching, your mother would have to contend, by the way, you know, and I take

00:17:46.380 your point and I applaud her, but she would be fighting Disney right now and most of corporate 0.85

00:17:52.040 America because they are behind this nonsense.

00:17:54.980 They are supporting this nonsense, whether it's Antifa, whether it's Black Lives Matter, or 0.90

00:17:59.920 it's just nonsensical doctrines of CRT, DEI, and ESG.

00:18:08.520 They have latched onto this.

00:18:11.580 And most people think of business people as conservative, right?

00:18:15.480 They're not.

00:18:16.280 They're scared to death of being called a racist.

00:18:19.860 They're scared to death of being involved in a controversy, unless you're Disney, in

00:18:25.600 which they've decided to put themselves.

00:18:27.480 Here's the most important, powerful, prestigious child entertainment brand in the world.

00:18:35.740 And they just sided with the LGBTQ plus community against parents and their children. 0.93

00:18:44.120 It's that simple.

00:18:45.180 I mean, look, Disney made a decision as a company and looking at their stock price and looking

00:18:51.560 at some of their lack of subscribers and the cancellations, they made the wrong one as

00:18:56.040 a company.

00:18:57.080 I mean, listen, Disney, this is the problem for Disney specifically.

00:19:01.040 Disney was founded basically upon giving content for children to dream and to have fantasies and

00:19:09.920 just have entertainment.

00:19:11.020 That's what Disney was based upon.

00:19:12.620 But when you now know that there are executives at Disney who are on the record saying they

00:19:18.500 want to, like, you know, queer up all the content, like, again, that doesn't make any

00:19:23.760 sense.

00:19:24.060 That's insane.

00:19:25.160 Like, you have parents who, you know, first of all, let's take a step back off of this

00:19:28.620 one.

00:19:29.480 People who are LGBTQ.

00:19:32.840 That's a choice you make in your life.

00:19:35.060 I respect your choices, even though I may not agree with them, but I respect them because

00:19:39.080 you're an individual.

00:19:40.140 You're allowed to live your life.

00:19:41.220 I'm allowed to live mine.

00:19:42.560 This is America where we respect people's ability to be free and we're tolerant of those

00:19:47.880 things.

00:19:48.600 Okay?

00:19:49.600 The problem is, just like I would say there are some in the LGBTQ community who do not

00:19:55.580 want me to impress my values on them, I don't want their values to be impressed on me.

00:20:00.800 And this is the problem we're having right now with Disney and, frankly, in a lot of entertainment,

00:20:05.180 where they've made a decision where they're going to impress the values of the LGBTQ community

00:20:11.840 of that some share, not all, I'm just saying some, regardless of whether the rest of America

00:20:19.360 wants it or not, likes it or not, agrees with it or not.

00:20:23.600 And they feel that they are justified in doing so.

00:20:27.220 That's what's creating the conflict.

00:20:29.300 It's not that people are making decisions about who they want to love, who they want

00:20:32.740 to spend their time with, et cetera.

00:20:34.900 It's that we've come down this road where they feel that there is a mission to actually

00:20:39.220 impress their agenda, regardless of what anybody else thinks.

00:20:44.260 That is wrong.

00:20:45.080 And so Disney taking this stance is going to lose a lot of customers because of it, because

00:20:49.940 you have parents who take their kids to Disney parks.

00:20:53.360 They take their kids to Disney movies.

00:20:55.420 Like, Lou, I love Marvel.

00:20:57.000 I'm a Marvel guy.

00:20:58.040 I've watched basically all the movies until the most recent Doctor Strange.

00:21:02.500 I just haven't seen that one.

00:21:03.900 But I got to tell you, I love the entertainment, but Disney's gone too far as a company.

00:21:09.100 I'm not supportive of what they're doing as a company.

00:21:11.980 Now, as a corporate citizen, what they need to do is get out of politics.

00:21:19.040 Just run your business and get out of politics, run your business, respond to your shareholders,

00:21:25.740 be cognizant of what your customers actually want, and move on.

00:21:29.960 Because that's what we always want companies to do, just do your business.

00:21:33.800 But when you try to inject yourself in culture wars, that's when you're being faced with a

00:21:38.840 backlash from people, and Disney's already seeing that.

00:21:41.980 Yeah, and I agree with you.

00:21:44.800 They've got to get out of politics.

00:21:46.100 But first, politics has got to get rid of them.

00:21:49.260 And one of the most, and you use the term, this is a flashpoint in the language of debate

00:21:57.560 over corporate power in this country.

00:21:59.980 Corporate citizen.

00:22:01.080 A corporation, a U.S. multinational corporation trying to play U.S. citizen is an absurdity,

00:22:09.580 and to adopt rights that are given to living, breathing citizens, I think is an absolute

00:22:19.060 grotesque torture of the Constitution.

00:22:23.020 It's in law now that they have those same rights.

00:22:26.820 But I think we all have to admit that's a fiction, and we've got to get rid of it.

00:22:30.740 And those rights of free speech and so forth, I don't think extend to corporations.

00:22:35.840 And I certainly don't think that anyone, either party, by the way, but the Democrats will have

00:22:39.900 a hard time with this one.

00:22:41.880 I don't think either party should put up with their interference or be allowed to take their

00:22:47.320 money.

00:22:47.820 It's just that simple.

00:22:50.340 Well, I mean, look, the Democrats, they hated the Citizen United ruling until they figured

00:22:54.800 out how to use it, and now they like it.

00:22:56.880 So very quietly, they don't really talk much about Citizens United anymore.

00:23:01.580 Yep, absolutely right.

00:23:02.900 They use three times the amount of dark money that Republicans do.

00:23:06.480 Let's just be honest, folks.

00:23:07.460 That's what happens.

00:23:08.520 The New York Times reported that.

00:23:10.360 So this isn't Byron Donald saying it.

00:23:12.020 That was the New York Times.

00:23:13.440 The dark money pulls.

00:23:14.600 The Democrats have three times the amount of dark money in politics.

00:23:18.920 And Arabella and all of the Soros money and the money of other billionaire donors that 0.99

00:23:24.700 are driving, unfortunately, elements of both parties.

00:23:28.400 But certainly, the Democratic Party right now is, as you say, they are the masters of

00:23:34.660 the dark pool, and we're paying a heavy, heavy price.

00:23:38.880 George Soros comes out, and finally, he says something besides, you know, let's get rid of

00:23:45.080 prosecution, get rid of laws, let's give everyone a free pass, irrespective of conduct

00:23:49.960 and criminal or otherwise.

00:23:51.400 He finally said, it's not in the interest of the United States to be supporting Russia

00:23:57.540 and China.

00:23:59.560 Where has he been?

00:24:01.180 We've been talking about this issue in this country for 20 years.

00:24:04.880 And suddenly, he has decided that maybe it's not the brightest idea in the world to push

00:24:10.220 billions and hundreds of billions and trillions of American dollars while we're going through

00:24:16.780 turmoil in our markets toward China, which is what so many Wall Street firms are doing

00:24:22.180 right this very moment, urging investors to put their money over there, investing in whose

00:24:27.640 future?

00:24:28.620 This is, again, we are a society racked with conflict and contradiction, and in some cases,

00:24:36.880 downright, I think, insanity, as you put it.

00:24:40.760 Oh, I want to, if I may, step to a different issue, and I applaud your positions and what

00:24:46.980 you're doing.

00:24:48.220 Congratulations, Congressman.

00:24:51.140 The House Republicans, including you, sponsoring legislation to move forward to get to the bottom

00:24:57.720 of how the Disinformation Governance Board, the so-called Truth Ministry, was created and

00:25:03.040 who decided who and how it would be run.

00:25:06.500 How is that going?

00:25:08.220 Because I am on the edge of my seat wanting to find out who had the temerity to do that.

00:25:15.420 Well, like most things in Washington right now, if Republicans sponsor it, the Democrats

00:25:21.960 don't even want to touch it or talk about it.

00:25:24.640 I mean, being honest, I doubt Nancy Pelosi will even allow the bill to be heard.

00:25:29.320 In the Oversight Committee, I sit on oversight.

00:25:32.640 We're not having any discussions about this, or many things, actually, at all, because they

00:25:38.200 don't want to do their job and hold the administration accountable.

00:25:41.640 Right.

00:25:41.940 But I think it's important to understand that what's really happened is the American people

00:25:46.180 pushed back in such a way that Nina Jankovic had to get fired, and now they're saying they're

00:25:51.280 going to put a pause on this.

00:25:52.800 So coming up in the next Congress, when Republicans take back the House, we are going to have

00:25:57.300 investigations on this.

00:25:58.440 We're not just going to sit back and just let them kind of put this thing, sweep it

00:26:03.680 under the rug, put it in mothballs, act like it didn't happen, and then just when they get

00:26:08.900 back in power again at some point in the future, all they're going to do is bring it back.

00:26:12.480 That's all they'll do.

00:26:13.320 The next time they bring it back, it'll just be quiet.

00:26:15.660 You won't even know what happened, and then they'll be active and running.

00:26:18.500 So, you know, short order, you know, we're bringing the legislation forward.

00:26:22.540 Nancy Pelosi won't hear it.

00:26:23.780 But when we take back the House of Representatives in the fall, we're going to hold hearings on

00:26:29.280 this, and we're going to have to get to the bottom of it, because a disinformation board

00:26:32.540 should never exist in the United States government.

00:26:35.280 That's not their job.

00:26:36.440 They're constitutionally authorized to do a few things.

00:26:38.840 That's what they should do.

00:26:39.700 No more, no less.

00:26:41.840 Without question.

00:26:43.020 Without question.

00:26:43.700 And the idea that government would have the power to decide what is true and what is false

00:26:49.240 is a very dangerous power, indeed, to imbue government with.

00:26:56.060 Let's talk about this election.

00:27:00.240 Where do you think it's going to go?

00:27:01.920 Where do you think the Republicans will be, in the House in particular, after the midterms?

00:27:07.860 Um, I think, honestly, I think it's going to be a bad election night for Democrats across

00:27:15.320 the board.

00:27:15.900 And I'm not just talking about in Congress.

00:27:18.260 I'm talking about in state legislatures.

00:27:20.560 I'm talking about in local, local government elections, school board members.

00:27:24.920 It's going to be a washout.

00:27:26.580 Um, honestly, the American people have had enough.

00:27:29.240 And the difference I would say now that most election cycles is the American people have

00:27:34.200 had had two years under COVID lockdowns to just see and observe what government power

00:27:39.600 really is and what it really means.

00:27:41.600 And they don't like it.

00:27:42.840 I think in the House, I think we're going to probably take maybe 35 or 40 seats.

00:27:48.160 Um, I think that's kind of where the number is going to be in the Senate.

00:27:50.920 I think we pick up three Senate seats, maybe four.

00:27:53.960 Um, I think that's definitely doable.

00:27:55.540 Um, but I think the bigger gains, which you're going to see, and this is something that's really

00:27:59.620 been hurting of the Democrat party for quite some time.

00:28:02.360 And it's why they have no bench is they've, they've been losing state legislative races

00:28:07.560 and losing state state houses across the country.

00:28:10.160 I think they're going to lose more.

00:28:11.540 I think we're going to listen, we're going to pick up state legislative seats in New York

00:28:15.360 and California.

00:28:16.700 That's how bad it's going for the Democrats right now.

00:28:19.280 And they only have their selves to blame because they adopted the Bernie Sanders agenda

00:28:23.020 and they have probably the most incompetent politician in the history of the country at the

00:28:28.180 helm. 0.88

00:28:29.340 It's, he is impaired.

00:28:31.720 He is inexplicable, 80, almost 80% of the country thinks the country is headed in the

00:28:37.880 wrong direction.

00:28:38.700 So I think there is every political wind blowing that, uh, to support your, your prediction.

00:28:45.260 Certainly.

00:28:46.320 Uh, I, I also think that the Republicans are going to have a real challenge.

00:28:51.380 Uh, your leadership are rhinos, whether it is Mitch McConnell in the Senate or Kevin McCarthy

00:28:57.840 in the house.

00:28:58.860 And I know that none of the Republicans want to talk about this.

00:29:01.720 The conference doesn't want to take it up nor should they in point of fact politically,

00:29:05.080 but when that election is held, do you think there will be an appetite to go to stronger

00:29:11.600 traditional Republicans for leadership rather than turn over the leadership of the Republican

00:29:17.560 party on Capitol Hill to the liberal wing of the party?

00:29:22.560 Well, I mean, look, I can't speak for the Senate cause I'm not in there and I don't know what they're,

00:29:26.560 what those senators are really thinking about on this issue.

00:29:28.580 I know in the house, um, one of the things that a lot of house Republicans have been pushing

00:29:33.560 forward and pushing strong on, um, on Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise is to actually have

00:29:38.440 an agenda.

00:29:38.880 That's why we're working on one right now.

00:29:41.540 And what I'm going to say about this is there's a lot of Republicans, Lou, who are like me that

00:29:47.320 are in the house.

00:29:48.340 Like we didn't come for a career in Washington.

00:29:50.840 We're not trying to be there for 30 years.

00:29:52.520 We're coming to do a job, get it done and go back home.

00:29:56.240 And so I think what you see now in the Republican conference is a much more conservative conference.

00:30:01.920 And even in the tea party wave, when they came in, it's in 2010 and 2012, because when

00:30:06.800 the tea party wave got to DC, like that, that was it.

00:30:09.240 It was about 30 of them.

00:30:10.380 And that was it.

00:30:11.380 It's easily half the Republican conference is, is, is actually quite conservative and

00:30:16.580 they want to see action.

00:30:17.560 And we're not going to sit around and, and, and wait for, and sit around for bad deals,

00:30:21.540 uh, to come forward because it's just not going to sit well with the members.

00:30:25.360 It's not going to sit well with the voters, but then there's another, there's another thing

00:30:29.180 going on.

00:30:29.760 The two more variables that are out there.

00:30:31.740 Um, they're both, uh, residents of the great state of Florida.

00:30:34.600 Uh, one's the 45th president of the United States and the other is the governor of Florida.

00:30:38.820 And those two gentlemen are not going to sit back and just watch house, uh, house leadership

00:30:43.840 and Senate leadership.

00:30:45.000 Just do the same old, same old with nothing to say about it.

00:30:48.620 Donald Trump's got a lot to say.

00:30:49.880 He's going to say a lot more.

00:30:51.100 I expect it to come.

00:30:52.220 And I think Ron DeSantis has got a lot to say.

00:30:54.080 I expect that to come as well about what Republicans should be doing on Capitol Hill.

00:30:58.820 Two strong voices.

00:31:00.460 It is still the America first party.

00:31:02.740 It is still the make America great party, uh, Ron DeSantis up and coming without question.

00:31:08.900 Uh, and it is as, uh, Ed Rollins, the most, uh, uh, knowledgeable and most experienced.

00:31:16.040 And I think brightest political strategist in the country.

00:31:19.540 It told me, uh, uh, recently, uh, this, this president is the most dominant force of any

00:31:27.500 president in American history, post-presidency.

00:31:30.900 And I believe that that is going to be, uh, uh, an immense help to the Republican party.

00:31:37.000 Not the, not the liberal establishment, uh, uh, part of the party, but certainly to the

00:31:42.800 Republican party and the American people.

00:31:44.660 I want to say, Congressman, as we conclude here, we always give our guests the last word,

00:31:49.380 uh, your thoughts and concluding thoughts.

00:31:52.900 Uh, and thank you for being with us here today.

00:31:56.120 Uh, my concluding thoughts are basically that, you know, the American people are tired, man.

00:32:00.620 Like we, everybody just wants to get back to an economy that works to a border that works

00:32:04.920 to having a strong standing on the, on the global stage.

00:32:08.320 And, and to stop all this, uh, tinkering and experimenting with our kids, I think if we

00:32:13.020 can just get those four things done, we're, we're, we're fine.

00:32:17.500 America, we got issues.

00:32:18.540 Don't get me wrong, but I'd rather take our problems than any other country in the world.

00:32:22.100 I still rather be here.

00:32:23.320 So does everybody else.

00:32:24.300 Nobody's trying to leave.

00:32:25.120 And, you know, we're not trying to go to Afghanistan in America.

00:32:27.640 We're not trying to go to Ukraine in America.

00:32:29.920 We want to stay right here.

00:32:31.100 So we know we just need to just knuckle up, fix our problems.

00:32:34.200 We can do the work.

00:32:35.160 Um, but it's just going to take the voters to give us the, the, the political vision

00:32:39.780 and the political will to get it done.

00:32:41.580 And I think we're going to see that in the midterm elections.

00:32:44.700 Congressman Byron Donalds.

00:32:46.620 I thank you so much.

00:32:48.000 I look forward to our next conversation and I wish you all of the very best.

00:32:53.820 God bless you.

00:32:54.940 Thanks.

00:33:16.780 counsel investigation and the opposition that he faces from the Wisconsin Democrat party
