WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.000 Good evening, everybody. I'm Martha McCollum, and I'm Bret bare. This 2 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:09.480 is the very same stage on which the Republican choice for president will accept the 3 00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:14.640 party's nomination next summer. The eight contenders are positioned by the order they sit 4 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:19.879 in the polls, with the highest polling candidates in the middle standing center stage 5 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:36.119 Florida Governor Ron dessentism Fonny, former Vice President Mike Penns, former South Carolina 6 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:48.280 Governor Nicky Haley, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie Carolina, former Arkansas Governor 7 00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:59.439 Asa Hutchinson, and North Dakota Governor Dunburg Hunting some ground rules for tonight. 8 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.959 Will ask the questions and then candidates get one minute to answer. If someone 9 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:08.120 is singled out, you get thirty seconds to respond, and when the time 10 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:15.200 runs out, we all will hear this. It's very pleasant. So tonight 11 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.680 these candidates have a big opportunity to break out of the pack and to explain 12 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.760 why they are best prepared to be the Republican choice for president at a time 13 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.280 when the likely Democrat nominee, President Joe Biden, is working to convince the 14 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:37.560 country that with Bidenomics, things are looking up. Please call my plan Bidenomics. 15 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.640 I'm not sure they mean it. AM totally complimentary with at the time. 16 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.480 I don't know what's a good idea to have Joe Biden the first person 17 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:52.000 speaking at the Republican debate and to show that he's actually, you know, 18 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.040 relaxed and a little bit funny, but okay, whatever, Fox Business, 19 00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:05.079 guess what It's working? But isn't. More than sixty five percent of Americans 20 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.479 say the country is headed in the wrong direction. And here's the reality. 21 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.800 For some voters we talked to here in Wisconsin this week, see that the 22 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.719 problem with the way they asked that question. Is the country headed in the 23 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.800 right direction? What I say, it's headed in the right direction? No, 24 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:24.439 And I'm going to vote for Joe Biden in this election. Right head 25 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.560 in the wrong It's head in the wrong direction for a million reasons. It's 26 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.319 head in the wrong direction because the middle class is shrinking, because CEO pay 27 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:39.360 is up three hundred times, while while standard worker pay has barely risen at 28 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.520 all, the cost of everything is up and salaries are not matching. There's 29 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:50.439 there's a bunch of reasons why we don't have universal healthcare in this country. 30 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.759 Our healthcare prices are through the roof. That's not Joe Biden's fault. Sure, 31 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.879 I would like him to do something about it, but it's not his 32 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.240 fault. He can't get all that stuff passed through all rephases of our government. 33 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.039 So it being headed in the wrong direction doesn't mean Joe Biden isn't doing 34 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.879 a better job than any of these clowns. We have noticed a dramatic increase 35 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:16.759 in prices at the grocery store just across the board and foolish. There's a 36 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:21.360 lot of people out here home. It's because they kick by food. It's 37 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.199 tough. When you got mortgage rates at seventy percent verses two to three, 38 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.719 it says you can't afford the house anymore. It's an inflation. It's ridiculous. 39 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.599 It's killing us out here. And it's not just inflation. It's the 40 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:38.719 fact that salary has not continued to rise like it was before. The minimum 41 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:45.080 wages and the general pay rates are not rising along with inflation. That is 42 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.960 the issue. People aren't homeless because of Joe Biden. As we sit here 43 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:57.120 tonight, the number one song on the Billboard chart is called Richmond North of 44 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:02.759 Richmond. It is by using are from Farmville, Virginia named Oliver Anthony. 45 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:10.199 His lyrics speak of alienation, of deep frustration with the state of government and 46 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:16.720 of this country. Washington, DC is about one hundred miles north of Richmond, 47 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:24.399 Richmond for Richmond, lord knows it? Oh doest Wannah total control? 48 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:29.279 Want to know what you think, know what you do? And then I 49 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:34.120 don't think you know ho that you do? Your dollar hate shit and it's 50 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:44.759 taxonal fim a rich man, a rich Man. So Governor DeSantis, why 51 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:49.279 is this song striking such a nerve in this country right now? What do 52 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:55.800 you think it means? Our country is in decline? This decline is not 53 00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.319 inevitable. It's a choice. We need to send Joe Biden back to his 54 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:13.079 basement and reverse American decline. Oh my god, it's it has everything to 55 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:19.959 do with rising CEO pay and bonuses and and the standard worker pay not rising. 56 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:29.279 And it's what's grossing me out about this is politicians on the right and 57 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:40.079 the left continue to enable corporate greed. Democrats and Republicans continue to enable corporate 58 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:45.439 greed. They won't raise the minimum wage, they won't get universal healthcare passed, 59 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.680 they won't reevaluate our tax system. They won't make the rich pay their 60 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.360 fair share while going after the little guy over six hundred dollars here and there 61 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.600 in empty and bake accounts with twelve hundred dollars in it, while looking the 62 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.360 other way when billionaires pay seven hundred bucks in taxes, that's the problem. 63 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:08.079 And then they take turns every four years saying, all right, guys, 64 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.600 we'll blame you this time, and then next time you blame us, we'll 65 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.680 divide society, make them fight each other, and we'll just keep fueling our 66 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:21.959 own pockets. And we play this stupid ass game every four years. Democrats 67 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.680 pretend Republicans put us here, and then Republicans pretend that Democrats put us here, 68 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.519 when all along they're all working together to make damn sure they load their 69 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:44.600 own pockets. There is definitely one party that does it worse than the other. 70 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:50.319 The Republican Party has fewer sensible people in it. I think the Democratic 71 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:58.279 Party has a handful of people like AOC and Katie Porter and Bernie Sanders. 72 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.319 There are a few people over there that get it, but they're not powerful 73 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:06.000 enough to make any changes. And if one of them got elected president, 74 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.680 they still wouldn't have the power because you've got to get roughly sixty five seventy 75 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.879 percent of the Senate on board. And all of those people, Democrats and 76 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:23.399 Republicans, are using their insider trading information to become millionaires in the stock market. 77 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:30.920 They're leveraging the system. They're taking giant donations from big Pharma and industries 78 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.879 like that to prevent regulations. I mean, they're all in on it, 79 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:41.639 and every four years they pretend it's the other guy, and we follow along 80 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.439 with this stupid ass game. And I'm just so sick of it. But 81 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.800 let's hear what this clown's got to say about it. With understanding, we 82 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.920 must reverse by dynamics so that middle class families have a chance to succeed again. 83 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:59.519 We cannot succeed as a country if you are working hard and you can't 84 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.360 afford rose frees, a car or a new home, while Hunter Biden can 85 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.879 make hundreds of thousands of dollars on lousy paintings. That boy, that didn't 86 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.680 take long for Hunter Biden to come up wrong. We also cannot succeed when 87 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:20.639 the Congress spends trillions and trillions of dollars those rich men north of Richmond have 88 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.519 put us in this situation, and finally, we need to lower your gas 89 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.120 prices. We're going to open up all energy production. We will be energy 90 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:33.440 dominant again in this country. I showed it could be done in the state 91 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.240 of Florida. I pledge to you as your president, we will get the 92 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:45.039 job done and I will not let you down. First of all, where 93 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:50.679 are you yelling? Bro? He doesn't like an a Sesame Street character. 94 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.279 I swear this guy every time he finishes a sentence that he's proud of. 95 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.720 It reminds me of George Bush. George Bush, you should do that little 96 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.679 giggle after he said something he thought was cool. DeSantis has this little muppet 97 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:13.519 smile. He doesn't. It's irritating. Thank you. Governor Christie. Do 98 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.720 you agree with Governor DeSantis just said there? And why would you be better 99 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.039 on the economy than him? Well, look, I do agree predominantly with 100 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.679 what Governor DeSantis just laid out. I think that if you asked every one 101 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.039 of us up here, that we would agree predominantly with what he just laid 102 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.559 out. Here's the difference. The difference is that we're going to have to 103 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:37.159 work and make sure that we sell these ideas and were able to be able 104 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.840 to put ourselves in a position where we get a majority of the vote, 105 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.039 not only by winning the Congress and the Senate in the twenty four but also 106 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.559 by having someone who's had the experience of doing it now. I was elected 107 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.519 as a conservative Republican in a blue state with sixty one percent of the vote, 108 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.080 with the Democratic legislature against me the entire time, and we still, 109 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.399 through hard, strong decision making, brought them around to our point of view. 110 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.360 We cut taxes in New Jersey, We cut debt in New Jersey. 111 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.960 We made sure that each and every I don't know about that. I think 112 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.440 I can't wait for all this to come out and for there to be a 113 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.919 fact check on it. I'll try to do a follow up episode whenever there 114 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.679 is a comprehensive fact check. I think they had credit issues while he was 115 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:33.679 governor. Actually I don't recall exactly what happened, but to say he cut 116 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.679 debt, come, I guess you can cut debt and have bad credit at 117 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.120 the same time. I don't know. Time we were confronted with bad democratic 118 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.480 ideas, we stood and stopped them, and when there were good ideas, 119 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.440 we brought people together to make progress going forward. Truth and accountability are the 120 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.320 things we need to do to fight waste. And I'd say the last thing 121 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.960 is this, Brett. We cannot sit by any longer and allow the kind 122 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.480 of spending that's going on in Washington, because every dollar they spend is a 123 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.320 dollar that these people are not allowed to spend on their children and their grandchildren. 124 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.919 It's robbing our country and it's wrong. Well, Governor, let me 125 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.519 just follow up very quickly. New Jersey when you were governor, had the 126 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.240 second lowest credit rating in the nation after Illinois. It was downgraded eleven times. 127 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.279 That's what it was. That's what it was, the second lowest rating 128 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.120 and down I didn't know it was eleven times. Jesus, I knew they 129 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:28.279 had credit issues, but it's eleven times. Yeah, And that's what happens 130 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:33.840 when you inherit a blue state. Oh yeah, while you were a governor, 131 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:39.519 it was downgraded eleven times. And but it's it's because it was a 132 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:46.279 blue state, zero accountability. But when you look at what we did on 133 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.919 debt, Brett, in that state, we cut debt in that state, 134 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.120 debt that had been left. Here's a sad part. He's one of the 135 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.159 more reasonable Republicans, Like I don't like him, but he's one of the 136 00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:03.840 more he's on the more reasonable, and I think him and maybe Nicky Haley 137 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:09.960 are on the on the reasonable side for the most part. But he's just 138 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.879 he's just sidestepping. I don't know. I can't. I'm not gonna be 139 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.320 able to pause it and talk this much each time, because there's things that 140 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.559 were five hours long. So let me let me get it going by three. 141 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.559 Democratic subnatorial predecessor. Yeah, blame the people before up that tremendously. 142 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.840 And because they ran it up three doesn't mean it would go down eleven times 143 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.639 during your governorship. Man, oh man, these people. I mean, 144 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.120 look, just disclaimer here. Most of what you hear on this show is 145 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.320 probably gonna be false. I've not this is I'm watching this for the first 146 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:50.679 time live and then pausing it as it goes, so, uh, just 147 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.679 just know that this has not been fact checked. Also, saw ste was 148 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.279 to cut the unemployment rate in half. It was over ten percent when I 149 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.879 became governor in twenty ten. What we also did was cut pension payments to 150 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:11.080 public employees to make sure that taxpayers were not being soaked by a public employee 151 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.080 union system that was killing the taxpayer. Thank you, governor, Governor Scott, 152 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.440 I mean Tim Scott, Senator Scot. Excuse me. The song also 153 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:24.759 goes after welfare programs. As a senator, now, President Biden argued for 154 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:30.320 freezing federal spending. This was back in the eighties and dealing with sacred cows. 155 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.519 He does not talk about that anymore. You have been a senator though, 156 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:39.600 for ten years, So what have you done to reign in the increasing 157 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.679 size of government? Well, thank you for the question. Over the last 158 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.279 several years, I've had an opportunity to vote against spending package after spending package 159 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.440 after spending package, and then take credit for all what all that's all gonna 160 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.759 do whenever you lose that and the Democrats force it through and your people love 161 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.440 it and love all the infrastructure jobs that come to your state into your towns, 162 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.840 and you take credit for it even though you voted against it. But 163 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.960 I know you're not going to mention that. Part also need to understand is 164 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:15.679 that Joe Biden's Biden nomens has led to the loss of ten thousand dollars of 165 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:22.279 spending power for the average family. There is no way that's true. That 166 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:28.960 is just okay, dude. You see sixteen percent inflation, Your gas is 167 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:33.320 up forty percent, your food is up twenty percent, your electricity is up 168 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.720 twenty percent. We can stop that by turning to spick it off at Washington, 169 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.120 sending the money back to the states, and allowing the decisions to be 170 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.759 made at their own houses. I helped write the Tax Cussing Jobs Act in 171 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:52.200 two seventeen. We cut taxes for a single moment, the one that raised 172 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.879 me by seventy percent, for dual households by sixty percent, returning to the 173 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.600 average family four thousand dollars. If you don't send it to Washington, we 174 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.360 can't spend it. That's good news for the American people. Okay, But 175 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.960 just to follow up, you did during the Trump administration. You approved four 176 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.440 point four trillion, four point one trillion, one point seven trillion over the 177 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.399 course of that administration. That's a lot of money. There's no doubt that 178 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:22.559 during the Trump a minute, I love that these moderators are holding their feet 179 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.039 to the fire. And that's good. And we were dealing with the COVID 180 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:28.159 virus. We spent more money. But here's what happened at the end of 181 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:33.720 our time in the majority, we had low unemployment, record low unemployments three 182 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.799 and a half per cent for the majority of the population, seventy seventy year 183 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.960 low for women. African Americans, Hispanics and Asians had all time low. 184 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.519 But our inflation was at two percent. Under Joe Biden, we've seen the 185 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:56.240 exact opposite. We've seen inflation explode, which led to twelve federal reserve increases. 186 00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.799 That's devastating home buyers today. Mister Rama Swammy, you're listening to the 187 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:06.399 five, so I don't know if I get a chance to response. He 188 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.120 didn't mention you specifically, but we'll be with you in a second, mister 189 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:14.440 Vice President, mister Ramaswamy, listening to all of this, Mister, voters 190 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.960 choose you over more experienced politicians on this stage, you're basically, you know, 191 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.559 a blank slate for people. You're thirty eight years old. You've said 192 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:29.360 that you only voted in two presidential elections before this moment, this political race. 193 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:38.960 So Vivek Ramaswamy, is he the one that I saw a clip from 194 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:47.200 There was a clip on TikTok of. I think of this guy proposing that 195 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:53.000 we raised the voting age from eighteen to twenty five. I think he was. 196 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.600 I think this guy might be one of the crazy Republicans. I don't 197 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.480 know him yet, but let's see what he's got to say. I think 198 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:03.519 this is him. I could be wrong. First, let me just address 199 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.559 a question that is on everybody's mind at home tonight. Who the heck is 200 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.319 this skinny guy with a funny last name? And what the heck is he 201 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.200 doing in the middle of this debate stage. I'll tell you I'm not a 202 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.839 politician, Brett, You're right about that. Did he just use the Obama 203 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:26.200 line? And why does he talk like that? Hold on the hope of 204 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.000 a mill worker's son who dares to defy the odds, the hope of a 205 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:34.319 skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him 206 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:38.880 too. Yeah, that's what I thought. He just ripped that line off. 207 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.799 Who the heck is this skinny guy with a funny last name, and 208 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.000 what the heck is he doing in the middle of this debate stage? No, 209 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:56.599 he did it. Ah, you're just gonna oh, bro, and 210 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:03.200 he's doing it. He didn't even do it like jokingly. He's Oh my 211 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.200 god, I don't like his smile. I don't like his voice. I 212 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:11.400 don't like that in his first couple of lines he stole a bit from Obama. 213 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.480 I'll tell you I'm not a politician, Brett. You're right about that. 214 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.640 I'm an entrepreneur. My parents came to this country with no money forty 215 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:23.640 years ago. I have gone on to found multi billion dollar companies. I 216 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.759 did it while marrying my wife, Aporva, raising our two sons, following 217 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:33.319 our faith in God. That is the American dream. And I am genuinely 218 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.279 worried that that American dream will not exist for our two sons. He doesn't 219 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:45.039 sound real. This guy sounds He sounds like AI like I don't. It's 220 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.599 so bizarre the way he's talking their generation unless we do something about it. 221 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:52.799 And I do think Brett's going to take an outsider because for a long time, 222 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.440 we have professional politicians in the Republican Party who have been running from something. 223 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:02.880 Now is our moment to start running to something, to our vision of 224 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.559 what it means to be an American today. If you have a broken car, 225 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:08.759 you don't turn over the keys to the people who broke it again. 226 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.000 You hand it over to a new generation to actually fix the problem. That's 227 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.160 why I'm at this race and we're just getting warmed up, all right. 228 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:22.000 So you, Haley, So why are you better a position to turn around 229 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.799 this economy that we've heard all of these voters talking about tonight? Then mister 230 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.160 Ramaswamy, who is a successful entrepreneur nationally right now, he's beating you in 231 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.279 the polls. Well, I don't care about polls. What I care about 232 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.880 the fact is that no one is telling the American people the truth. The 233 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.319 truth is that Biden didn't do this to us. Our Republicans did this to 234 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:49.559 us too. Whoa NICKI Haley? How dare you go out there and say 235 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:56.799 the truth? Are you gonna make me like you today? You're gonna say 236 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:04.119 that at a Republican debate the first one they passed that two point two trillion 237 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:10.240 dollars COVID stimulus bill. They left us with ninety million people on Medicaid, 238 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:12.440 forty two million people on food stamps. No one has told you how to 239 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.119 fix it. I'll tell you how to fix it. They need to stop 240 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.519 the spending, they need to stop the borrowing. They need to eliminate the 241 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.680 earmarks that the Republicans brought back in and they need to make sure they understand 242 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.680 these are taxpayer dollars. It's not their dollars. And while they're all saying 243 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.400 this, you have Ronda Santis, You've got Tim Scott, You've got Mike 244 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:36.359 Pets. They all voted to raise the debt and Donald Trump added eight trillion 245 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.039 to our debt. And our kids are never going to forgive us for this. 246 00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:41.519 And so at the end of the day, you look at the twenty 247 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:48.680 twenty four budget, Republicans asked for seven point four billion in earmarks. Democrats 248 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.559 asked for two point eight billion. So you tell me who are the big 249 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:57.480 spenders. I think it's time for an accountant in the White House. Damn. 250 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.559 Now, I don't agree with all of what she said, because we, 251 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:07.279 damn it, we definitely needed to not shut government down and increase the 252 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.880 debt ceiling, right, that was an emergency. But that was pretty damn 253 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:18.839 bold of her to call out Republicans and tell the truth. Okay, niggy, 254 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:30.680 you got my attention. Pass Do you imagine that fifty four percent of 255 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.000 voters say the cost of groceries has a quote major problem for them. You 256 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:38.200 blamed the Biden administration spending No, it's not the cost of groceries. It's 257 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:44.400 the lack of salary to pay for those groceries. Again, that's the biggest 258 00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:48.559 issue for that increase. But as Vice president, your administration spent more than 259 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.920 any prior seven point eight trillion dollars added to the national debt, three point 260 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:57.440 five trillion of that before COVID. So does that mean yeah, let's keep 261 00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:04.839 that in mind, before COVID over three trillion dollars added over seven trillion dollars 262 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:08.079 added to the debt under Trump and Pence. It's the most, like he 263 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:15.319 just said, the most under any administration in history. So when Republicans talk 264 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:22.440 about spending and Democrats wild spending, what Nikki just said was spot on, 265 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.640 at least for that piece of it. That let's look at what the Republicans 266 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.079 are doing as well. This is not a problem Joe Biden created. I 267 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:36.359 am shocked that she I'm shocked that she said that you're part of the spending 268 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:40.440 problem. Well, first off, thanks for the question, thanks for letting 269 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:45.440 me respond to a reference to our administration's record. I'm incredibly proud of the 270 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.480 record of the Trump Pens administration. I mean, in four short years, 271 00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:55.599 we rebuild our military. We revived our economy. We unleashed American energy, 272 00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:03.359 and we appointed it was our military not built. Was our economy falling. 273 00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:10.759 The economy was on the rise after Obama, and it continued on the same 274 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:18.519 trajectory under Trump until COVID hit and his lack of preparedness for it tanked us 275 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:25.359 worse than it would have under any other administration. So rebuilt our economy and 276 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:32.759 military revived our economy. We weren't suffering when Trump took office. I don't 277 00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:37.720 know what this guy's talking about. Preconservatives to the Supreme Court that gave the 278 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.039 American people a new beginning for the right to lie. Oh you're disgusted, 279 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:47.720 Martha. You asked earlier, who's the most best prepared for this job? 280 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:49.839 And I'm gonna say, with all due respect to all of my friends on 281 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.799 the stage, and even to one that's probably looking on, I think on 282 00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.559 question one, that's a friend that's probably looking on. You mean when they 283 00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:04.559 called for you to be murdered, RelA, I am the best prepared, 284 00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:11.160 the most tested, the most qualified and proven conservative in this race. I 285 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:15.960 was a leader in the Congress of the United States. I led Indiana where 286 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.000 we balanced budgets and had a triple A bond rating. When I was governor 287 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:25.359 and as Vice president of the United States, we spent funding to backfill on 288 00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:29.839 the military cuts of the Obama administration, and then we were there in the 289 00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:33.759 worst pandemic in a hundred years. All that being said, I was the 290 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.759 first person in this race to say that we've got to deal with the long 291 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.160 term national debt issues. You've got people on this stage that won't even talk 292 00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:48.880 about issues like social security and medicare. Vek, you recently said a president 293 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.119 can't do everything. Well, I got news for you, Vavec. I've 294 00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:53.519 been in the hallway. I've been in the West Wing. A president in 295 00:24:53.519 --> 00:25:00.599 the United States has to confront every crisis facing America. Every time they mentioned 296 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:06.160 each other, anytime someone mentioned somebody, that person gets to respond, Okay. 297 00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:11.119 I will put our nation back on the path to growth and prosperity and 298 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.720 restore fiscal responsibility, just as I did in Congress and as governor vice president 299 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:23.039 when I was vice president. But I'm going to give back first. This 300 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:27.799 isn't that complicated. Guys. Unlock American energy, drill frack burn cole, 301 00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:33.839 embrace nuclear, put people back to work by no longer paying them more to 302 00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.519 stay at home, reform the US FED that stabilize the US dollar, and 303 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.400 go to war. The only war that I will declare as US president will 304 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.480 be the war on the federal administrative state that is the source of those toxic 305 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.599 regulations acting like a wet blanket on the economy. So I'm not sure I 306 00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.480 exactly understood Mike Pence's comment, but I'll let you all parse that out for 307 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:56.640 me. Yeah, of course you didn't understand it, because you just got 308 00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:02.240 here pretty simple. That's something the US president can do with focus, and 309 00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:03.480 I'll deliver on. Let me explain it to you, and let me explain 310 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.279 it to you. In fact, let me explain it to slower this time. 311 00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:18.960 Sometimes I'll go slower this time. Oh man, I love a little 312 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:29.400 insults. I'll go slower this time. I was a House Conservative leader before 313 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:33.480 it was cool. I actually pushed a deficit reduction actor. Was the last 314 00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.559 time we actually reduced the national debt in the United States? When I was 315 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.799 the leader of House Conservatives, I balanced budgets and cut taxes when I was 316 00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.319 governor. I mean, look, Joe, buy so much of what these 317 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:49.559 people say it's just the fact check of this thing is going to be a 318 00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:55.279 mile long. They're gonna be like, well, technically, for a month 319 00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:59.480 and a half the budget was balanced, but all these other issues happened. 320 00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.640 You know. It's they just had these little talking points, which is why 321 00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:06.359 when I started this, I was like, you know, this doesn't matter 322 00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:11.799 as much as we think it does. There's got to be bigger changes across 323 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.759 the board in this country, because otherwise we're all just pawns. But I 324 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.240 don't want to be a broken record here. I want to get through this. 325 00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:23.400 This weakened this country at home and abroad. Now is not the time 326 00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:32.519 for on the job training. We don't need to bring in lookie, that 327 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:37.519 is go Pens. I never thought i'd say that this dude Ramaswamy's pissing me 328 00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:45.079 off of Whammy. I'm not a fan of Pens, but seeing this, 329 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.920 seeing this young man be putting his place is I mean, I'm enjoying the 330 00:27:48.960 --> 00:28:00.720 Republican infighting for damn sure, bringing people without experience. Wow, the crowd 331 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:06.200 is losing it because I'm picking up on this. I'm picking up on the 332 00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:10.680 fact that I think it's a largely Trump audience. Why because well, it's 333 00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:18.559 a it's a Republican, it's a Republican audience, and the Republicans are mostly 334 00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:23.640 Trumpers nowadays, I guess. So that's what's happening here. Remember to have 335 00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:29.000 a moment on the economy. I think that's fair. People who have enough, 336 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:32.160 we're going to get back to that. We are there to us dollar 337 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:36.960 and go to war the old, the deep. We don't need to bring 338 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:47.000 in people without experience. We need to bring when you have a rebuttal okay, 339 00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:48.480 and you are up, Governor de Santa. So here's the thing. 340 00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.039 Why are we in this mess? Part of it and a major reason is 341 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:57.720 because how this federal government handed COVID nineteen by locking down this economy. It 342 00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:03.240 was a mistake. Shit. I think he meant handled when he said handed. 343 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.519 He's a little nervous and very awkward. I say the wrong word all 344 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.400 the time. I get it. But I'm not running for president, So 345 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.279 I think he's a little shaken right now. I think he's I think he's 346 00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:21.920 fighting above his weight. Class happen and in Florida, we led the country 347 00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:25.880 out of lockdown. We kept our state free and open. And I can 348 00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:30.519 tell you this as your president I will never let the deep state bureaucrats lock 349 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:41.079 you down. You wow, so dog whistles to quan on deep state bureaucrats 350 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:48.680 take somebody like Fauchi and coddle him. You bring Fauci in, you sent 351 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:56.200 him down, and you say, Anthony, you are fired. Gross just 352 00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:03.160 trying to steal trumps whole fired thing. Trying to pretend to be a tough 353 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.240 guy. And I know you're just listening to this because you probably can't stomach 354 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.519 to watch the nonsense. But he looks just as cheesy and fabricated as you 355 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:17.880 could imagine it gets. It's so clear that he's trying to pretend to be 356 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.599 tough. It's just it's over acting. I mean, if I was his 357 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:25.720 acting coach, I'd be like, dude, you're doing it a little too 358 00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:34.680 on the nose, and it's cringe ee. We're gonna I wanted to spun 359 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:38.200 Mike for one second because he invoked me back. Now that everybody's gotten their 360 00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:41.880 memories pretty prepared slogans out of the way, we can actually have a real 361 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:47.640 discussion now the reality and the fact that yours no, not really Mike. 362 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:55.440 We can have a real discussion now. He's very robotic. Now that you've 363 00:30:55.519 --> 00:31:00.960 done that, maybe I can speak now this guys, this guy's on my 364 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:07.400 last nerve man talk about the Biden economy, because the economy and one of 365 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.119 yours not really like actually, we're just gonna have some fun tonight. And 366 00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:17.480 the reality is you have a bunch of people professional politicians, superPAC puppets, 367 00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:22.200 following slogans handed over to them by their four underfage superpacs last week. The 368 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.000 real choice we face in this primary is this, do you want a superPAC 369 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.799 puppet or do you want a patriot who speaks the truth? Do you want 370 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:33.519 incremental reform, which is what you're hearing about, or do you want revolution? 371 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.759 Okay? And I stand on the side of the American revolution. Geez, 372 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.960 I'm just waiting on him to say, yes we can at this point 373 00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:48.960 turvity record in which I lowered taxes keep jumping. You want revolution, okay, 374 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.519 and I stand on the side of the American revolution to address to take 375 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.319 control back here, we need to have a moment on the economy. I 376 00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.839 think that's fair. People who have enough, we're going to get back to 377 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:02.200 that. We are. There are two people who we have not heard from 378 00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:06.039 yet. So let's hear from Governor Burgham and then from Governor Hutchinson. I'm 379 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.160 the economy sir, who Martha, And of course I'm from a town of 380 00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:12.880 three hundred people. It's a big deal to make it on this stage with 381 00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:15.160 all these folks. Yeah, no one knows who the hell this guy is. 382 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:20.160 Doug Bergham. He's apparently the governor of North Dakota. They were all 383 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.240 wishing me well and I think I took him a little too literally when they 384 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:28.039 said go to Milwaukee and break a leg. So, yeah, he apparently 385 00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.400 has some kind of injury on his leg or something. So we get such 386 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:35.799 low Biden economy because the economy, energy, and national security are all tied 387 00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:38.240 together. We of course we're paying too much for our energy in our in 388 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:42.480 our state, right in our country right now. But part of the reason 389 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.039 why is because the Biden policies on energy. We've got a plan right now. 390 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:49.799 The one point two trillion dollars of Green New Deal spending buried in the 391 00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:54.599 Inflation Creation Act is something that is just subsidized. Inflation Creation Act. Stop 392 00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:58.920 buying oil from the Middle East and start buying batteries from China. We're just 393 00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:05.400 trading OPEC for sign and then belatedly, belatedly, the Biden administration says, 394 00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:07.200 no, we're going to put sanctions on Russian oil. Well, we put 395 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.160 sanctions on Russian oil. We'll done. Is twenty percent off? Who's buying 396 00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:14.079 a China. So if you buy a battery in this country, you buy 397 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:17.920 a solar panel, it's being produced in a plant in China powered by coal, 398 00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:21.759 or it's being powered by oil and gas at twenty percent off. And 399 00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:23.640 every farmer in this country you'd like to buy diesel at twenty percent off, 400 00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:30.440 just like they're buying in China. This guy's pooring. He's getting too specific 401 00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:32.160 with the details. You know, people, it's talking points time. Man. 402 00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:36.799 Delighted to be here tonight, and let me just tell you that I'm 403 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:43.240 a pro life governor, conservative state that have a conservative record in which I 404 00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:47.839 lowered taxes in Arkansas. As governor, I created a two billion dollars surplus 405 00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:52.400 that I passed off for you. Always another conservative when they say conservative. 406 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:57.880 I made sure that we shrunk the size of government. We have fourteen percent 407 00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:02.519 fewer state employees in Arkansas after I left government and when I took over as 408 00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:07.759 governor eight years ago, I tell that, because that's what we need in 409 00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:12.639 Washington, DC. We need somebody who can actually constrain the growth of the 410 00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:16.679 federal government, that can actually reduce the size. And I've pledged to reduce 411 00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:23.239 by ten percent our federal non defense workforce. That's a specific pledge to make 412 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:28.960 that attacks the administrative state. And let me applaud some of the business partners 413 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:31.800 that are here that have had success in business. But let me tell you, 414 00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:37.400 I've been a federal prosecutor. I've served our country in terms of being 415 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:43.599 head of the DA in homeland security in times of crisis. And while I 416 00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:47.599 think that that's experience that is important for the future of our country, to 417 00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:52.199 be the president of the United States that can lead with positive solutions, to 418 00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:55.800 be held accountable. Thank you. We have a lot of topics to get 419 00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:59.679 to and I promise we're going to get to everyone if we play within the 420 00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:04.119 rule. Okay, next topic. More than a thousand people are still unaccounted 421 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:08.280 for in Maui after the deadliest US wildfire and more than a century. Hawaii's 422 00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:15.119 governor and White House officials said that climate change amplified the cost of human error, 423 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:21.559 and a tropical storm hit California for the first time in eighty four years, 424 00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.119 the ocean hit one hundred and one degrees off the coast of Florida, 425 00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:29.519 and in the last month, the heatwave in the Southwest broke records nearly fifty 426 00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:34.480 years old. Alexander Diez from Young America's Foundation has a question for you all 427 00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:38.280 OO. Polls consistently show that young people's number one issue is climate change. 428 00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:42.320 How will you, as both president of the United States and leader of the 429 00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:46.440 Republican Party, calm their fears that the Republican Party doesn't care about climate change? 430 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:50.079 Oh? I want to start on this with this show of hands. 431 00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:55.920 Do you believe in human behavior is causing climate change? Razor hand if you 432 00:35:55.960 --> 00:36:00.559 do. Look, we're not school children. Let's have the debate to take 433 00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:05.840 it to stop. Nobody raised their hand. I don't think that's the way 434 00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:07.639 to do. So let me just say that, alex saying, Oh, 435 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.480 he's avoiding the he's avoiding you. The reasons our country's decline is because of 436 00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.880 the way the corporate media treats wakens versus demic. What a chicken shit beach 437 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:20.119 while those people were suffering. He was asked about it, he said, 438 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:23.840 no comment. Are you kidding me as somebody that's handled disasters in Florida. 439 00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:28.360 You gotta be guys, he gotta be there. He's just avoiding it. 440 00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:35.280 None of them, none of them raise their hands the deal. Is that 441 00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:37.639 a hand raise? You do not? I think it was a hand raise 442 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.960 for him, and it's my handser in my pockets. Had let us be 443 00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:45.440 honest as Republicans. I'm the only person on the stage who isn't bought and 444 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:50.480 paid for, so I can say this, the climate change, the climate 445 00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:57.639 change is a hoax. And he just said climate change agenda is a hoax. 446 00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:01.440 Agenda is the wet blanket on our and so the reality is more people 447 00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:07.559 are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate cha. 448 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.960 Oh my god, this guy, this rama Swamy needs to go kick rocks 449 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:17.039 man. Listen, listen, hold on, I've had enough already tonight get 450 00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:27.719 him a guy who sounds like chatchy pt And the last person in one of 451 00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:30.440 these debates Brett who stood in the middle of the stage and said, what's 452 00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:35.719 a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here? Was Barack Obama. 453 00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:37.360 Thank you, Fred. We're dealing with the same type of amateur. 454 00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:45.880 Yeah, who ended up being our greatest president in history. And you'll help 455 00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:53.320 let me just like Obama, hold on, hold on, governor a clown 456 00:37:54.440 --> 00:38:00.239 like to say. Is the fact that I think this is exactly why Margaretcher 457 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:01.559 said, if you want something said, ask a man. If you want 458 00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:08.400 something done, ask a walm up. Of course she went there. First 459 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:14.159 of all, we do care about clean air, clean water. We want 460 00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:16.239 to see that taking care of. But there's a right way to do it. 461 00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:19.639 And the right way to do it is first of all, yes, 462 00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.320 is climate change real, Yes it is. But if you want to go 463 00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:25.360 and really change the environment, then we need to start telling China in India 464 00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.199 that they have to lower their emissions. Okay, fair point. And these 465 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:36.159 green subsidies that Biden has put in, all he's done is helped China because 466 00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:40.159 he's understand all these electric vehicles that he's done, what that dot Half of 467 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:45.800 the batteries for electric vehicles are made in China, and so that's not helping 468 00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:47.880 the environment. You're putting money in China's pocket. You know, you can 469 00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:52.280 put money in China's pocket and help the environment at the same time. Nikki, 470 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.079 the truth, which is these subsidies are not working. We also need 471 00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:59.719 to take on the international world and say, Okay, India and China, 472 00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:01.880 you got to stop polluting. And that's when we'll start to deal with Scott. 473 00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:06.320 Are you brought and paid for? Absolutely? Are you bought and paid 474 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:12.000 for? Are you bought and absolutely not? Absolutely observed as a debate about 475 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.559 the issues that affect their lives, is Scott going back and forth being childish 476 00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:20.199 is not helpful to the American people to decide them the next leader of our 477 00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:23.800 country. Divorce for a second number two. As a kid who grew up 478 00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:29.960 in a single parent household poverty, I wondered was the American dream reel for 479 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:35.159 kids who are devastated by poverty, devastated by the challenges of life. I 480 00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:38.760 came to the conclusion that America can do for anyone what she's done for me 481 00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:45.079 if we focus on restoring hope. Creed this is just his stupid stunt speech. 482 00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:47.360 If we want the environment to be better, and we all do, 483 00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:52.599 the best thing to do is to bring our jobs home from China. If 484 00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:55.639 we create ten million new jobs, that my mate an American plan, we 485 00:39:55.679 --> 00:40:00.360 will have a better economy and a better environment. Let me tell you why 486 00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:04.920 I say that, Brutica, do it quickly. America has cut your dinger 487 00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:10.280 already wants boy and talk slow. So America. That was quick. America 488 00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:16.119 has cut our carbon footprint in half in the last twenty five years. So 489 00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:22.360 places where, Yeah, how did we do that? Increase what you're saying 490 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:28.360 to stop doing. We've cut the carbon footprint by doing what NICKI Haley just 491 00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:32.239 said. We should stop doing your own economy. Let's bring our jobs home. 492 00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:36.840 We have a lot of different topics together. Yeah, we do. 493 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:38.880 We thank you all, Thank you, Senator Scott so. Coming up next, 494 00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:43.920 the candidates will weigh in on what could be a defining issue in the 495 00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:50.039 twenty twenty four campaign. The first Republican debate continues moments away. Yeah, 496 00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:53.880 please ask them about I don't know, Donald Trump, who's getting Uh, 497 00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:59.519 we're probably gonna surrender tomorrow or a by the time you hear this. Maybe 498 00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:01.239 it's today, Maybe it already happened. Maybe you've seen his mug shot. 499 00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:07.000 I don't know. In six state referendums all have upheld abortion rights in this 500 00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:12.519 country, and even in red states. There are more swing state referendums that 501 00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:15.920 are coming up as we head into the elections as well on this. So, 502 00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:20.239 Governor Haley, what do you say to your party, of course starts 503 00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:23.639 with it, and to your state, which today confirmed a six week abortion 504 00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:30.480 law as well, especially the impact on women's suburban voters across this country. 505 00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:36.199 Thank you, Martha. I am unapologetically pro life, not because the Republican 506 00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:39.800 Party tells me to be, but because my husband was adopted and i had 507 00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:44.920 trouble having both of my children. So I'm surrounded by blessings. Having said 508 00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:49.199 that, we need to stop demonizing this issue. This is talking about the 509 00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:53.280 fact that unelected justices didn't need to decide something this personal, because it's personal 510 00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:57.559 for every woman and man. Now it's been put in the hands of the 511 00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:00.480 people. That's great. When it comes to a federal ban, Let's be 512 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:05.440 honest with the American people and say it will take sixty Senate votes, it 513 00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:07.679 will take a majority of the House. So in order to do that, 514 00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:13.840 let's find consensus. Can't we all agree that we should ban late term abortions. 515 00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:19.280 Can't we all agree that we should encourage adoptions. Can't we all agree 516 00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:22.920 that doctors and nurses who don't believe an abortions shouldn't have to perform them. 517 00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:27.840 Can't we all agree that contraception should be available, And can't we all agree 518 00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.159 that we are not going to put a woman in jail or give her the 519 00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:36.239 death penalty if she gets an abortion. Let's treat this like a respectful issue 520 00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:39.519 that it is and humanize a situation and stop demonizing the situation. Right. 521 00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:45.760 Okay, So I disagree with several points she's making, but as a conservative, 522 00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:51.000 she does sound at least the most reasonable. One of your biggest financial 523 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:54.519 backers said that you need to quote shift to get moderates or you will lose. 524 00:42:54.960 --> 00:43:00.079 What do you say to him and others who say politically that is a 525 00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:04.840 tough thing to sell nationally, Well, I would say we sold the biggest 526 00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.719 election, landslide victory and the history of the Republican Party in the state of 527 00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:10.519 Florida in twenty twenty two. That's what I did. Yeah, that was 528 00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:15.599 before you signed the abortion band. You gotta do what you think is right. 529 00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:19.519 I believe in a culture of life. I was proud to sign the 530 00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:22.880 heartbeat Bill. I'm one of the most impactful moments of my life was when 531 00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:28.400 I heard the heartbeat of my oldest daughter in my wife's wound, and didn't 532 00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:30.280 he sign that bill like in the middle of the night, like in secret. 533 00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:36.239 She was super proud of it. And this issue is wrong to allow 534 00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:38.679 abortion all the way up to the moment of birth. I know a lady 535 00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:45.639 in Florida named Penny. She survived multiple abortion attempant. She was this is 536 00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:52.039 this is so cringey. I'm at a guy named Dan, and Dan works 537 00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.440 hard and has his six pack. I mean, it's just I'm a regular 538 00:43:55.519 --> 00:44:00.039 person like you. It's just so gross stream. But just to be clear, 539 00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:05.320 Governor, would you sign a six week ben Federally, I'm going to 540 00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:07.840 stand on the side of life. Look, I understand Wisconsin is going to 541 00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:12.239 do it different than Texas. I understand Iowa and New Hamps are going to 542 00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:15.679 do death. He just won't answer questions. We all support the cause of 543 00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:23.440 life. As governor and as president, you're shaking Vice President Pens you're shaking 544 00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:27.920 your head. Well, look, I'm I'm not new to this cause. 545 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:32.159 After I gave my life to Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I 546 00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:36.679 opened up the book and I read before I formed you in the womb, 547 00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:40.079 I knew you, and see I said before you life and death, blessings 548 00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:44.639 and curses. Now choose life. And I knew from that moment on the 549 00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:47.719 cause of life had to be my cause. So you're going to champion legislate 550 00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:53.519 based on your beliefs, Vice President of Mysticism, you're my friend that you 551 00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:58.519 can't prove a truth. This is the opposite of leadership. When the Supreme 552 00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:02.239 Court returned this question to the American God with a fucking tool. I just 553 00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:07.480 the fact that you believe this is fine, use it to manage and govern 554 00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:12.920 your own life. But to take your belief system that you can't prove is 555 00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:16.880 true and try to control other people's bodies based on it is ridiculous. In 556 00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:22.800 every state in the nation that says when a baby is capable of feeling pain, 557 00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:28.079 an abortion cannot be allowed. A fifteen week ban as an idea whose 558 00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:31.039 time has common supported by seventy percent of the American people. But it's going 559 00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:37.079 to take unapologetic leadership, leadership that stands on principle and expresses compassion for women 560 00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:42.480 in crisis, well pregnancies, I'll get that as president of the United States. 561 00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:45.079 YEA, where's the compassion for women in what the hell you just said? 562 00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:46.800 So First of all, I will say it is in the hands of 563 00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:50.199 the people and that's where it should be. But well, when you're talking 564 00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:53.639 about a federal ban, be honest with the American people. We haven't had 565 00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:59.559 forty five pro life senators and over one hundred years, so no Republican president 566 00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:04.400 can be and abortions anymore. That a Democrat president could ban all those states. 567 00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:07.519 Well, it's don't make women feel like they have to decide on this 568 00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:15.239 issue when you know we don't have sixty Senate votes from people support legislation but 569 00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:25.239 experiencing don't. Seventy of the Senate does not. You have to be honest 570 00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:30.440 with the American people. Let's get Governor Bergaman for one minute. Her so, 571 00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:35.559 but the Supreme Court. I'm actually pretty proud of Nikki. I mean, 572 00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:37.599 I disagree with a lot of what she's saying, but I'm proud of 573 00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:40.639 her for fighting back against Pens on this on this abortion issue. That's where 574 00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:44.840 it is right now. So as I understand it, you are not in 575 00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:50.800 favor of a federal ban. What do you say about the states? There's 576 00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:54.599 about five of them, including New Jersey. I think a few others that 577 00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:59.280 allow abortion up until the time of birth, though if you were president, 578 00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:02.599 would you be able to abide that? Well, first of all, a 579 00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:07.039 pro life governor of a very pro life state, and this is issue is 580 00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:10.400 of course very important. But I am on the record and I stand behind 581 00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:15.440 that we should not have a federal abortion ban. We should not, And 582 00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:17.960 the reason why we shouldn't is very simple. It's the Tenth Amendment in the 583 00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.559 Constitution. In the Constitution which the states created the federal government, not the 584 00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:27.199 other way around. It says that there were certain duties allowed to the federal 585 00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:30.599 government delegated to them by the states. The rest are left to the states 586 00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:35.599 comma or importantly or to the people. We need to get back to freedom 587 00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:38.519 and liberty for the people in this country, and we can have we can't 588 00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:43.800 be had. Republicans who fight for fifty years for this great cause and when 589 00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:46.079 to return it back to the states, and then the next day they turn 590 00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:49.440 around and go, no, the Fed should do that, because the Feds 591 00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:52.480 are stepping into people's lives, they're stepping into people's businesses over and over. 592 00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:54.840 If we say that the FED should be in on this one, where do 593 00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:59.679 we stop. I say that we follow the Constitution, and this was returned 594 00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:01.199 to the state. This is where it should. Governor you sign him a 595 00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:06.639 six week band. You signed a six week ban. Governor Bergham, you 596 00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:09.360 signed a six week ban. So you're saying federally, it's all going to 597 00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:13.760 go to the states. Yes, and what is going to work in New 598 00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:17.840 York will never work in North Dakota, vice versa. That's where this is 599 00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:22.639 too important of an issue that I have to address. First of all, 600 00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:28.280 the Supreme Court gave it back to the elected representatives, whether it's the States 601 00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:31.199 or whether it's the United States Congress, so there is authority. And that's 602 00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:37.719 why President Biden is pushing for a Democrat proposal, which is an essence, 603 00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:42.679 abortion on demand through the term. So they have their extreme position at a 604 00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:46.360 national level. Okay, he's boring and irrelevant and is not going to perform 605 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:49.559 well in the polls. So I'm just going to talk over humans that of 606 00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:53.840 pausing it because it's going to screw up the playback. I'll say this, 607 00:48:53.960 --> 00:49:00.320 and it's important to say this. Uh, this whole idea that Democrats support 608 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:06.480 abortion right up until birth in the third trimester, and most of you listening 609 00:49:06.519 --> 00:49:10.199 already know this, and the third trimester. It is extremely rare to have 610 00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:15.760 anyone that wants an abortion. The vast majority and I mean ninety nine point 611 00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:24.480 nine nine are because of medical issues concerning the viability of the fetus. So 612 00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:32.440 it's a very difficult situation. I implore everyone to go find the documentary called 613 00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:38.239 After Tiller t I lll Er the abortion doctor who was killed, the late 614 00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:43.719 term abortion doctor, and watch that. Watch After Tiller to get a full 615 00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:47.159 understanding of what late term abortion is and what it takes to get one, 616 00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:51.360 and what the people go through and they have to get one, and that 617 00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:55.039 it ultimately is about reducing harm and suffering of the fetus who is not going 618 00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:59.239 to be viable, who is going to be in constant pain, and to 619 00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:04.400 reduced suffering of the mother as well. So all of these things need to 620 00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:07.199 be considered, but these guys just throw it out. Is right up until 621 00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:14.079 birth. It is a medical decision between doctors and women. It is none 622 00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:22.679 of your goddamn business. Creator gave us in alienable rights that include life. 623 00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:27.800 That is a list that isn't well, why don't you get up there and 624 00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:34.199 preach about it and pasta tomb Scott, this isn't your church jackass. This 625 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:43.000 is our government by the people, would kiss me off Ern and Kamala Harris? 626 00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:45.519 Are they for thirty eight weeks? Are they for thirty nine weeks? 627 00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:47.320 Are they for forty weeks? Because that's what the media needs to be at. 628 00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:51.199 Why don't we vote on it? How about that? How about we 629 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:55.679 vote on abortion? Across the board, cities are in decline. People are 630 00:50:55.679 --> 00:51:01.719 moving out as homelessness, drugs, crime move in. There are problems accelerated. 631 00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:07.360 They did accelerate during the pandemic and are still rising. Actually, murders 632 00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:12.840 in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago all up thirty percent between twenty nineteen 633 00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:16.480 and twenty twenty two. Homelessness is up eleven percent, the largest jump in 634 00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:21.599 recording. They're showing like the three worst streets in Los Angeles where they're like 635 00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:27.159 nine tenths acting like that is La. How much of what we're seeing happening 636 00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:32.119 around this country is a result of those COVID lockdowns? And is your administration 637 00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:37.199 in part to blame for how we got here? It's gonna be bidenbout to 638 00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:40.199 blame. Is the Democrats's been talking about defunding the police for the last five 639 00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:45.239 years, and we ought to be funding law and from Sorry, particularly in 640 00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:51.559 our major city, defunding police caused homelessness. You're a jackass pen So it's 641 00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:55.119 claiming innocent lives literally every week and every major city in this country. Demis 642 00:51:55.159 --> 00:52:01.039 answer. Yet Democrats and liberal prosecutors in major metropolitan areas continue to work out 643 00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:07.000 their fans for full agendas to do a bail reform. And bail reform, 644 00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:09.760 yeah, that means, you know, if you get arrested for a non 645 00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:14.320 violent crime, you shouldn't be locked in a cage like an animal. If 646 00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:19.119 you have a drug problem, you should be cited for carrying something illegal and 647 00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:22.400 then sent to rehab or given the opportunity to recover, not locked in a 648 00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:27.880 cage like you're in the fucking zoo. That's what bail reform is about. 649 00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:31.480 Bail reform is so that rich people can't take advantage of the system and commit 650 00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:37.400 crimes that poor people can't afford to commit. Don't act like this homeless problem 651 00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:43.360 doesn't have anything to do with you know, minimum wage being at a record 652 00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:46.960 low while CEO pay skyrockets to three hundred times our pay. No, no, 653 00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:51.559 no, it's not about that. It's because we defunded police. That's 654 00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:55.000 why they are homeless people just popping out of the ground this weekend here in 655 00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:59.519 Milwaukee. I'm sorry, I'm so pissed at these people. I'm so pissed 656 00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:02.800 a number of them, including kids. Add that to the big increase in 657 00:53:02.840 --> 00:53:07.960 school shootings around the country. Democrats blame this crisis on easy access to guns. 658 00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:13.400 They also blame Republicans for blocking gun control legislation. Well, yeah, 659 00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:16.719 who would President Christie? Do? You know? I'm proud of the fact, 660 00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:20.760 Bret, that I'm the only person, along with Governor Hutchinson up on 661 00:53:20.760 --> 00:53:24.039 this stage who's actually running United States Attorney's Office. I ran the fifth largest 662 00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:30.679 office in America in a state where answer the question urban crime, and the 663 00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:36.599 problem is not going to be solved by more money. The problem is that 664 00:53:36.679 --> 00:53:42.039 these prosecutors in these localities in the States are refusing to do their job and 665 00:53:42.119 --> 00:53:45.400 to arrest violent criminals. So what a President Christie would do is a pointed 666 00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:51.960 Attorney General who would instruct each of the ninety three US attorneys that they are 667 00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:55.840 to take over the prosecution of violent crime in every one of those cities that 668 00:53:55.880 --> 00:53:59.920 are failing to do so. We have plenty of room in the federal prison 669 00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:04.800 to lock up these violent criminals and clean up what's going on all across this 670 00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:08.320 country in these individual cities. Secondly, but we need to make sure that 671 00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:13.840 each and every one of these criminals understand is that the laws apply to everybody. 672 00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:20.199 And when Hunter Biden fills out a fake application, a false application for 673 00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:25.159 a gun permit, and then it's facing a ten year mandatory minimum which was 674 00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:31.360 mandated by legislation sponsored by his father, and then you have a Justice department 675 00:54:31.519 --> 00:54:36.679 that walks away from those charges. We're telling people that the law doesn't apply 676 00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:39.320 to everybody. In a Christie administration, he would go to jail for ten 677 00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:45.760 years. What about a President Ramaswamy. What does a President Ramaswamy do about 678 00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:49.159 guns? So the reality is we have a crime wave in this country and 679 00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:51.480 we know how to fix it. The question is do we actually have the 680 00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:54.000 spine to do it. More cops in the streets who are on the streets 681 00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:58.960 able to do their jobs without looking over their shoulder for getting sued. And 682 00:54:58.960 --> 00:55:02.039 we also have a mental health epidemic in this country. Just over the same 683 00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:06.519 period that we have closed mental health institutions, that we have seen a spike 684 00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:08.440 in violent crime. Do we have the spine to bring them back? I 685 00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:12.519 think we should. As president, I will, But it's not just drugging 686 00:55:12.599 --> 00:55:16.239 up people in those psychiatric institutes, will Zoloft and sarahquil. It's a deeper 687 00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:20.440 issue. I think faith based approaches can play a role here too. Faith. 688 00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:23.360 We're in the middle of a national identity crisis. And I say this 689 00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:27.960 as a member of my generation. The problem in our country right now, 690 00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:31.559 the reason we have that mental health epidemic is that people are so hungry for 691 00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:37.320 purpose and meaning at a time when family, faith, patriotism, hard work 692 00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:42.679 have all disappeared. What we really need is a tonal reset from the top 693 00:55:43.039 --> 00:55:45.079 saying that this is what it means to be an American. Yes we will 694 00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:49.079 stand for the rule of law. Yes we will close the southern border where 695 00:55:49.079 --> 00:55:52.000 criminals are coming in every day, and yes we will back law enforcement because 696 00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:57.599 we remember who we really are. And that's also how we address that mental 697 00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:02.039 health epidemic in the next generation that is rectly leading to violent crime. He 698 00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:07.840 is so terrible that he's probably going to do very well in the polls, 699 00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:12.679 because if they don't have Trump in this race, that's going to be their 700 00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:16.039 guy, I'm loving idealistic, hard working people the world has ever known. 701 00:56:16.079 --> 00:56:19.639 We just need government as good as our people. Well, Mike, I 702 00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:22.679 think the difference is you might have some others like you may have on the 703 00:56:22.719 --> 00:56:24.400 stage. It's mourning in America's speech. It is not mourning in America. 704 00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:29.559 We live in a dark moment and we have to confront the fact that we're 705 00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:34.360 in an internal sort of cold cultural civil war art and we need people. 706 00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:37.719 It's a failed government in Washington, DC. We just need government as good 707 00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:44.840 as our people. Again, logan, because I don't know what that's the 708 00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:47.880 station mark. That's actually how we translate. Has been on the rise in 709 00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:52.519 Florida, Governor desensus, how do you stop crime? We actually crimes at 710 00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:55.880 a fifty year low in Florida. We're happy with that. Well, the 711 00:56:55.960 --> 00:57:00.519 statewide, it's a fifty year low. And so here's the thing, these 712 00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:06.239 hollowed out cities. This is a symptom of America's decline in one of the 713 00:57:06.280 --> 00:57:12.239 biggest reasons because you have George Soros funding these radical left wing district attorney. 714 00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:17.840 Okay, this is it's just conspiracy theory bingo at this point. Again, 715 00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:24.119 that's another example of the talking point twist a palooza that happens right, Florida's 716 00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:30.639 crime is rising because Florida's because Miami's crime is spiking. But if you don't 717 00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:37.800 count Miami overall, the Florida crime rate is dropping. And so they can 718 00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:43.519 both get away with saying the same thing. The moderator can say crime is 719 00:57:43.559 --> 00:57:46.519 on the rise in Florida and Governor DeSantis can say crime is at an all 720 00:57:46.519 --> 00:57:51.400 time low or a fifty year low in Florida. Yet both are true depending 721 00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:54.400 on how you point the scope right. It's like the Bible, it's like 722 00:57:54.480 --> 00:57:59.199 it's it's you. You can interpret it and twist it and close one eye 723 00:57:59.239 --> 00:58:04.320 and squint a lit and make yourself right. And so the talking points become 724 00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:07.719 quite pointless. Back to another boring guy who I've already forgot his name, 725 00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:12.559 governor of North Dakota, and helps him get the crop off. There's accountability, 726 00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:15.880 there's transparency. One thing that I think this country could use is something 727 00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:19.039 in the White House that understands small town values, because that's our road back 728 00:58:19.320 --> 00:58:24.800 to get this country on track again. That was a memorized sentence on the 729 00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:30.000 former head of the DA I understand the drug crisis in America and right now, 730 00:58:30.079 --> 00:58:35.280 whenever you look at these, when I was previously assigned to a job, 731 00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:38.639 I was also not qualified to do. I now have it on my 732 00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:43.440 resume, and so I'm gonna say stuff. And you should just gone on 733 00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:47.239 ahead and believe that I know what I'm doing because I once held a title, 734 00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:51.280 even though if you look back at the record, you can't see a 735 00:58:51.360 --> 00:58:55.159 damn bit of difference. I'm they doing any damn thing good. The tools 736 00:58:55.199 --> 00:59:00.800 that are needed for addiction counseling, that's what we expanded in Arkansas as well. 737 00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:06.719 Whenever you look at the underlying challenge of America. Though no one likes 738 00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:10.239 to see in America with smashing grab in, are any inter cities. As 739 00:59:10.320 --> 00:59:15.760 President of the United States that will stop it starts? Do you ever think 740 00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:20.280 it's a smashing grab problem because of the pay is so low and rent is 741 00:59:20.320 --> 00:59:24.679 so high, and CEOs are making three hundred times the lowest paid employee, 742 00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:30.880 and that people are struggling without health insurance and can't buy clothes further children, 743 00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:34.400 No, no, no, we just need more police and guns for boom 744 00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:38.960 boom jail time. With the President of the United States, I despise these 745 00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:43.760 people. So speaking of that, right now, you are looking live at 746 00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:49.920 Fulton County Jail where former President Donald Trump will be processed tomorrow. So next 747 00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:53.639 to candidates will have an opportunity to talk about the coming trials of Donald Trump. 748 00:59:53.639 --> 00:59:55.320 All right, they're about to go to commercial break. It's gonna be 749 00:59:55.400 --> 01:00:00.480 very short. What do you think they're gonna say about Donald Trump? Who's 750 01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:02.800 gonna who's gonna do it, Who's gonna do it, Who's gonna speak up 751 01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:06.880 and say? I think Chris Christie will the Americans want to hear. I 752 01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:14.000 think Ramaswamy's gonna kiss Trump's ass immigration education. But we are going to take 753 01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:16.079 Nicki Haley maybe a little against Trump. I don't know. Elephant not in 754 01:00:16.119 --> 01:00:22.960 the room. The elephant not in the Former President Trump has been indicted in 755 01:00:22.039 --> 01:00:27.880 four different states on ninety one counts. He will be processed tomorrow in Georgia 756 01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:31.480 at the Fulton County Jail for charges relating to the twenty twenty election loss. 757 01:00:32.159 --> 01:00:38.559 You all signed a pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee. If former President 758 01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:44.079 Trump is convicted in a court of law, would you still support him as 759 01:00:44.119 --> 01:00:50.639 your party's choice. Please raise your hand if you would, Ramaswammy, Nicky 760 01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:54.599 Haley, Tim Scott, the North Dakota Guy, Rhonda Santis, and Pence 761 01:00:55.039 --> 01:01:00.559 all raise their hands. Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie did not their hands. 762 01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:02.440 See you were kind of late to the game there, But no, I'm 763 01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:10.320 doing this. Look what's new. Look, Look, here's the here's the 764 01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:14.440 bottom line. Chris Christy motioned to speak, he didn't raise his hand. 765 01:01:14.679 --> 01:01:22.760 To stop normalizing this conduct. Okay, now and now, whether or not, 766 01:01:22.719 --> 01:01:28.920 whether or not you believe that the criminal charges are right or wrong, 767 01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:36.079 the conduct is beneath the office of president. Thank you of the United States. 768 01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:45.119 Ope, crowds crowd sounds divided, and you know this is the great 769 01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:50.239 thing about this country. Booing is allowed, but it doesn't change the truth. 770 01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:58.039 It doesn't change the truth. I'm supporting. I like to set spot. 771 01:01:58.119 --> 01:02:00.440 Let's just speak the truth. Okay. And Trump I believe was the 772 01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:06.039 best president of the twenty first century. It's Jesus Christ, it's trust trusty, 773 01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:10.000 honest to God. Your claim that Donald Trump is motivated by vengeance and 774 01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:15.239 grievance would be a lot more credible if your entire campaign We're not based on 775 01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:22.159 vengeance and grievance against one man at people at home want to see a bunch 776 01:02:22.159 --> 01:02:27.599 of people blindly bashing Donald Trump without an iota of vision for this country. 777 01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:30.400 They could just change the channel to MSNBC right now. But I'm not running 778 01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:35.360 for president of NSNBC. I am running for president of the United States. 779 01:02:35.559 --> 01:02:38.400 We're skating on thin ice. And we cannot set a president where the party 780 01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:44.960 in power uses police force to indict its political opponents in its law. These 781 01:02:45.000 --> 01:02:52.719 were organization of justice, these were grand juries, eighteen people an evidence because 782 01:02:53.079 --> 01:03:02.519 you sit here in an answer, You sit here in an answer. Wow, 783 01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:13.519 he can't even hear an answer ahead to go to Christie. Well, 784 01:03:14.119 --> 01:03:17.119 so listen, the more time we spend doing this, the less time they 785 01:03:17.119 --> 01:03:22.199 can talk about issues you want to talk about. So let's just get through 786 01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:25.039 this sexual he's having to get onto the audience to let Chris Christie sit here 787 01:03:25.079 --> 01:03:28.800 talking about how you want to stand up for the rule of law. Yes, 788 01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:31.960 and law and order. And the fact is that it can't be selective. 789 01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:36.199 In your book, you had much different things to say about Donald Trump 790 01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:39.440 than you're saying here tonight. And it is very true. It's very true. 791 01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:45.519 I read it and I know n behavior and Chris and you should. 792 01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:49.800 Yeah, you know what, I know a lot of difference behavior. I 793 01:03:49.880 --> 01:03:52.119 know a lot better than you do. You've never done it like you've never 794 01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:58.280 done anything to try to advance the interests of this government except to put yourself 795 01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:01.639 forward as a candidate to And here's the thing. We stood up for law 796 01:04:01.679 --> 01:04:04.880 and order. I did it as US attorney, I did it as governor. 797 01:04:05.079 --> 01:04:10.039 And I am not going to bow to anyone when we have a president 798 01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:15.119 of the United States who disrespects the constitution. He said, he said, 799 01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:23.880 he said, Martha, Martha, it's important to say that. The president 800 01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:30.320 said. Donald Trump said it's okay to suspend the Constitution. Now, Rose, 801 01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:34.320 you take he did preserve, protect, and defend, not suspend. 802 01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:40.079 I will always stand up for our constitution, regardless of the political pressure. 803 01:04:40.159 --> 01:04:42.480 We have another question for you. We're going to get everyone in on this 804 01:04:42.559 --> 01:04:49.039 issue, but you will Wow. All right. So President Trump's former vice 805 01:04:49.079 --> 01:04:54.639 president is on this stage tonight. He has faced Heckler's on the campaign trail 806 01:04:55.000 --> 01:05:00.519 over his actions on January the sex On that day, the vice president forward 807 01:05:00.559 --> 01:05:08.519 with the certification of the election. So do you believe that Mike Pence did 808 01:05:08.559 --> 01:05:11.599 the right thing, Senator Scott, do you believe he did the right thing? 809 01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:14.800 Absolutely, he did the right thing. Number one, Oh, straight 810 01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:17.719 answer. Just clap for him for giving an answer. I mean, please, 811 01:05:17.920 --> 01:05:24.519 we should be asking ourselves a bigger question about the weaponization of the Department 812 01:05:24.519 --> 01:05:28.039 of Justice. When I'm president, the first thing I'll do is fire Merrick 813 01:05:28.159 --> 01:05:31.239 Garland. Second thing I'll do, oh my god, Derek Christopher Ray, 814 01:05:31.760 --> 01:05:38.159 because we really the head of the FBI blindfold. Without that, no one 815 01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:45.519 has confidence and our justicism. Seventeen percent of Republicans have confidence and our Department 816 01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:50.599 of Justice. Here's why we keep seeing not only the weaponization of the Department 817 01:05:50.599 --> 01:05:56.599 of Justice against political opponents, but also against parents who show up at school 818 01:05:56.599 --> 01:06:01.320 board meetings. They're called under this deal Jay, they're called domestic terrorists. 819 01:06:01.639 --> 01:06:05.719 Yeah, for just showing up to a school meeting. You might be leaving 820 01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:11.039 out a few details there, Scott. Let me finish about comis yea not 821 01:06:11.159 --> 01:06:15.760 only that? Wow. In addition to that, we see the SWAT team 822 01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:23.079 show up at pro life activist homes with guns strong because this deal Jay uses 823 01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:27.039 their powers. You mean, the one that literally threatened to kill the President 824 01:06:27.079 --> 01:06:30.760 of the United States, and then took pictures of the gun he was going 825 01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:33.519 to use and the Gillie suit he was gonna wear in order to hide, 826 01:06:34.039 --> 01:06:40.960 and then talked repeatedly about seeing the president's body in his own pool of blood. 827 01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:44.280 That guy, that's that's what you're talking about, those type of death 828 01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:47.559 threats. Yeah, the swat team is gonna show up for that. This 829 01:06:47.760 --> 01:06:54.679 entire thing is a misinformation. Pulosa selection is not about January sixth of twenty 830 01:06:54.760 --> 01:06:59.559 twenty one. It's about January twenty twenty five, when the next president it's 831 01:06:59.599 --> 01:07:02.159 gonna take goths. I know what the Democrats would like to do. They 832 01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:05.159 want to talk about all these other issues. But we've got to focus on 833 01:07:05.239 --> 01:07:10.400 your future. We've got to focus on reversing the decline of our country. 834 01:07:11.119 --> 01:07:15.800 His entire thing, he is everything about RNDA. Santis has been avoiding, 835 01:07:15.199 --> 01:07:19.840 sidestepping and coming up with ways to not answer questions. I'm not going to 836 01:07:19.960 --> 01:07:23.480 raise my hand. We're not school children. Let's have this debate. So 837 01:07:23.639 --> 01:07:26.599 is that a yes? Listen, I'm I'm with life. Is that a 838 01:07:26.679 --> 01:07:30.039 yes or no? Look, look, we don't have to water that down. 839 01:07:30.559 --> 01:07:32.960 He's just he's avoiding it. What about January sixth, and Mike Penn's 840 01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:39.239 do the right thing. This isn't about January sixth, This is about twenty 841 01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:44.760 twenty five. He's just avoiding reality. Agrees that I kept my oath to 842 01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:47.920 the Constitution that day. There's no more important duty. So I answer the 843 01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:51.800 question thing. I've answered this before. So yeah, why are we he 844 01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:55.320 Mike, Mike did his duty. I got no beef with him. But 845 01:07:55.360 --> 01:07:59.519 here's the thing. Is this what we're going to be focusing on forward, 846 01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:02.440 the re hashing of this. I'll tell you Democrats would love that. We 847 01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:11.880 may feel if I'm not Yeah Biden basement blah blah blah. We're going to 848 01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:15.119 hold him accountable. Let me just say, Governor, just hand this. 849 01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:18.039 We spend an hour talking about policy. Former President Trump is beating you by 850 01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:21.920 thirty forty points in many poets. So it is a factor in the GOP 851 01:08:23.119 --> 01:08:27.079 primary. Governor Hutchinson, you did not raise your hand. I did not 852 01:08:27.279 --> 01:08:30.520 raise my hand because there's an important issue we as a party have to face 853 01:08:31.279 --> 01:08:35.399 and wolver. A year ago, I said that Donald Trump was morally disqualified 854 01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:41.520 from being president again as a result of what happened on January six more people 855 01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:45.920 are understanding the importance of that, including conservative legal scholars who says he may 856 01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:53.439 be disqualified under the fourteenth Amendment from being president again as a result of the 857 01:08:53.439 --> 01:09:00.960 insurrection. This is something qualify him under our rules and under the Constitution. 858 01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:05.960 And so obviously I'm not going to support somebody who's been convicted of a serious 859 01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:13.119 felony or who has this. Is this qualified under our constitution and that's consistent 860 01:09:13.199 --> 01:09:19.119 with our NC rules, and I hope everybody agree with Martha. Can I 861 01:09:19.159 --> 01:09:25.960 answer the question? Okay, I'd like to answer all right, I'd like 862 01:09:26.079 --> 01:09:30.439 to answer the question you asked and not give a pre can speech. Mike 863 01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:38.920 Pence stood for the Constitution and he deserves not grudging credit. He deserves our 864 01:09:39.079 --> 01:09:45.399 thanks as Americans for putting his oath of office and the Constitution of the United 865 01:09:45.479 --> 01:09:53.119 States before personal political and unfair pressure. And the argument that we need to 866 01:09:53.199 --> 01:09:58.279 have in this party before we can move on to the issues that Ron talked 867 01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:01.920 about, is we have to to spence with the person who said that we 868 01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:08.800 need to suspend the Constitution to put forward his political career. Mike Pence said 869 01:10:08.840 --> 01:10:14.199 no, and he deserves credit for it. Okay, we haven't looked on 870 01:10:14.279 --> 01:10:19.079 you on that your great I have so much did the right thing that day 871 01:10:19.159 --> 01:10:23.439 or not. I do think that Vice President Pence did the right thing, 872 01:10:23.439 --> 01:10:26.479 and I do think that we need to give him credit for that. But 873 01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:30.079 what I will also tell you is, look, I mean when it comes 874 01:10:30.119 --> 01:10:33.800 to whether President Trump should serve or not, I trust the American people, 875 01:10:33.920 --> 01:10:38.840 Let them vote, let them decide, But what they will tell you is 876 01:10:39.279 --> 01:10:44.399 that it is time for a new generational conservative leader. We have to look 877 01:10:44.399 --> 01:10:48.800 at the fact that three quarters of Americans don't want a rematch between Trump and 878 01:10:48.880 --> 01:10:54.079 Biden, and we have to face the fact that Trump is the most disliked 879 01:10:54.159 --> 01:11:02.039 politician in America. Win a general election that way. Wow, Wow, 880 01:11:02.359 --> 01:11:06.279 Tell the brother, it's signifying an opportunity. Happy to answer the question, 881 01:11:06.319 --> 01:11:10.399 Mike penns did the right thing on January sixth, But I want to say, 882 01:11:10.399 --> 01:11:12.920 you started off the top of this hour saying we're going to talk about 883 01:11:13.039 --> 01:11:17.039 China Ukraine light I'm not. I have to use this moment to address what's 884 01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:27.199 happening. It is shockingly disappointing that someone can say we can't support someone who 885 01:11:27.239 --> 01:11:33.920 inspired an insurrection in this country and have the majority of the crowd boo them. 886 01:11:34.159 --> 01:11:41.760 Just imagine where we are as a country when you're being booed for saying 887 01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:46.960 you will not support someone who tried to overthrow an election and then call yourself 888 01:11:47.000 --> 01:11:53.840 a patriot. Think about that? And does Pence deserve credit? Sure? 889 01:11:54.479 --> 01:11:59.399 But he did what he was supposed to do. Unfortunately, things are so 890 01:11:59.479 --> 01:12:03.159 disgusted thing in the Republican Party. Sorry, Ramaswamy is fighting Pince again. 891 01:12:03.479 --> 01:12:08.199 Difference between you and me, I'm not a positional politician. Answer request. 892 01:12:08.359 --> 01:12:12.640 Actually given pardons when I was governor's state of Indiana. Usually she follows a 893 01:12:12.720 --> 01:12:16.960 finding of guilt and talk about, well, Mike, why did you say 894 01:12:17.239 --> 01:12:21.319 nearly seventy seven I speak on this issue? I was you answer? You 895 01:12:21.720 --> 01:12:25.439 didn't? You did say something? Yeah? I thought we thought you were 896 01:12:25.479 --> 01:12:28.720 done. But you please, well, Mike, why didn't you say this? 897 01:12:28.920 --> 01:12:31.279 Join me making it a commitment that on day one you would pardon Donald 898 01:12:31.279 --> 01:12:34.800 Trump. I'm the only candidate on the stage, but the courage station say 899 01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:39.479 it. That is how we move our nation forward. If I turned the 900 01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:43.920 page for exactly will be convicted of these crimes? You could make it be 901 01:12:43.960 --> 01:12:46.600 able to make a commitment the same justice system. That was this difference between 902 01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:50.319 you and me. I'm not a potial politician. Answer request. Actually, 903 01:12:50.359 --> 01:12:56.159 given pardons when I was governor's state of Indiana usually follows a finding of guilt 904 01:12:56.479 --> 01:13:00.319 and contrition by the individual that's been convicted. So well, look, if 905 01:13:00.359 --> 01:13:03.720 I'm president in the United States, we'll get fair consideration any pardon request. 906 01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:10.239 But if I may, if I may, you know, it's not about 907 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:15.039 looking back at January twenty twenty one. It's about January twenty. At twenty 908 01:13:15.079 --> 01:13:19.560 seventeen, I put my left hand on Ronald Reagan's Bible, I raised my 909 01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:25.720 right hand, and I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of 910 01:13:25.760 --> 01:13:29.520 the United States, and it ended with a prayer, so help me gone. 911 01:13:30.439 --> 01:13:32.920 It was a promise that I made to the American people, but I 912 01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:39.079 also made it. It made it to my heavenly father. Every day for 913 01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:43.039 four years, I sought to keep that oath. And everyone on this stage 914 01:13:43.119 --> 01:13:45.720 needs to make it clear whether or not they'll do the same if they earned 915 01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:50.000 this job and the confidence of the American people. Look, I've made it 916 01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:56.960 clear. I had hoped that the issues surrounding the twenty twenty election and the 917 01:13:56.960 --> 01:14:00.920 controversies around January six had not come to this, had not come to criminal 918 01:14:00.960 --> 01:14:04.760 proceedings. I would rather they have been resolved by the American people and the 919 01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:09.960 American people alone. But no one's above the law. And President Trump is 920 01:14:10.119 --> 01:14:14.880 entitled to the presumption of innocence that every American is entitled to, and we 921 01:14:14.960 --> 01:14:17.720 will make sure and extend that to him. But the American people deserve to 922 01:14:17.760 --> 01:14:26.279 know that the President asked me in his request that I reject or return votes 923 01:14:26.439 --> 01:14:30.479 unilaterally, power that no vice president of American history had ever exercised or taken. 924 01:14:31.239 --> 01:14:35.479 He asked me to put him over the Constitution, and I chose the 925 01:14:35.520 --> 01:14:40.800 Constitution, and I always will. I had no right to overturned the election, 926 01:14:41.279 --> 01:14:45.079 and Kamala Harris will have no right to overturn the election when we beat 927 01:14:45.119 --> 01:14:48.760 them in twenty twenty four. Thank you, Vice President Pence. Wow. 928 01:14:49.640 --> 01:14:53.960 And they're clapping for that now, which you're moving on to other issues. 929 01:14:55.000 --> 01:15:00.600 The UT nearly seventy seven billion dollars in aid to the Ukraine War. Administration 930 01:15:00.680 --> 01:15:05.640 is now asking Congress for twenty four billion dollars more. Regardless of that, 931 01:15:05.760 --> 01:15:12.800 the specific specifics of that plan is there anyone on stage who would not support 932 01:15:12.840 --> 01:15:16.920 the increase of more funding to Ukraine, we would not support it. Europe 933 01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:21.600 needs to step up. Ramaswamy is the only one who raised his hands to 934 01:15:21.680 --> 01:15:27.439 stop funding Ukraine. Mwam the only one. You would not too, Governor 935 01:15:27.479 --> 01:15:30.760 Descantis. I will have Europe to pull their weight, but right now they're 936 01:15:30.760 --> 01:15:35.199 not doing it. Would not hold on. There are several European nations that 937 01:15:35.239 --> 01:15:40.199 are giving them doing it, and I would have support in China to be 938 01:15:40.279 --> 01:15:43.880 able to take to be able to take China and do what we need to 939 01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:46.920 do with China. Mister Ramaswamy, you would not support an increase of funding 940 01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:50.520 to Ukraine. I would not. And I think that this is disastrous that 941 01:15:50.640 --> 01:15:57.800 we are protective invasion across somebody else's border when we should use those same military 942 01:15:57.840 --> 01:16:00.439 resources to prevent across the invasion and of our own southern border here in the 943 01:16:00.520 --> 01:16:06.359 United States of America. We are driving Russia further into China's hands. The 944 01:16:06.479 --> 01:16:11.319 Russia China alliance is the single greatest threat we face, and I find it 945 01:16:11.359 --> 01:16:15.520 offensive that we have professionals. This little idiot does not understand the way foreign 946 01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:19.760 policy works. He's never been in government. He doesn't understand that funding them 947 01:16:19.840 --> 01:16:26.159 keeps us safe. He's such a jackass. I cannot stand this guy. 948 01:16:26.479 --> 01:16:30.359 Pliticians on the stage that will make a pilgrimage to Kiev to their Pope Zelenski 949 01:16:30.600 --> 01:16:34.399 without doing the same thing for people in Maui or the South Side of Chicago 950 01:16:34.840 --> 01:16:40.079 or Kensington. I think that we have to put the interests of Americans first, 951 01:16:40.600 --> 01:16:44.840 secure our own border instead of somebody else's. And the reality is this 952 01:16:44.920 --> 01:16:50.880 is also how we project strength, and by making America's strong. All right, 953 01:16:51.239 --> 01:16:55.720 Look, I did go to Ukraine, and I went to Ukraine because 954 01:16:55.800 --> 01:17:00.880 I wanted to see for myself what Vladimir Putin's are was doing to the free 955 01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:04.439 Ukrainian people. And let me tell you, I want you all to look 956 01:17:04.479 --> 01:17:09.960 around this arena tonight and imagine that every one of these seats was filled, 957 01:17:10.560 --> 01:17:13.880 And if every one of them was filled, there would still be twenty five 958 01:17:14.079 --> 01:17:20.079 hundred more children outside to make over twenty thousand who have been abducted, stolen, 959 01:17:20.359 --> 01:17:25.439 ripped from their mothers and fathers, and brought back to Russia to be 960 01:17:25.520 --> 01:17:30.680 programmed to fight their own families. They have gouged out people's eyes, cut 961 01:17:30.720 --> 01:17:35.279 off their ears and shot people in the back of the head men and then 962 01:17:35.319 --> 01:17:42.439 gone into those homes and raped the daughters and the wives who were left as 963 01:17:42.520 --> 01:17:48.159 widows and orphans. This is this is the Vladimir Putin. This is the 964 01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:55.680 Vladimir Putin who Donald Trump called brilliant and a genius. If we don't stand 965 01:17:55.760 --> 01:18:01.000 up against this type of autocratic killing in the worldington, we will be next 966 01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:11.960 Vice president. Penser was mentioned, you get thirty seconds. Yeah. Well, 967 01:18:12.039 --> 01:18:15.039 let me let me be clear. Anybody that thinks that we can't solve 968 01:18:15.039 --> 01:18:17.680 the problems here in the United States and be the leader of the free world 969 01:18:18.319 --> 01:18:21.960 has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on earth. That isn't correct. 970 01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:27.199 We can do both. Vec We've done both. We've been the leader 971 01:18:27.199 --> 01:18:30.680 of the free world and the arsenal democracy for years. The Reagan Doctrine years 972 01:18:30.680 --> 01:18:32.439 ago made it clear. We said, if you're willing to fight the communists 973 01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:35.279 on your soil, we'll give you the means to fight him there, so 974 01:18:35.399 --> 01:18:39.199 our troops don't have to fight him. But Vic, if we do the 975 01:18:39.319 --> 01:18:42.600 giveaway that you want to give to Putin, to give him his land, 976 01:18:42.920 --> 01:18:45.560 it's not going to be too long for he rolls across a NATO border, 977 01:18:45.960 --> 01:18:48.960 and frankly, our men and women of our armed forces are going to have 978 01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:54.399 to go and fight him. Exactly. The Ukrainians fight, and he's already 979 01:18:54.439 --> 01:18:58.239 said Poland was next. He's literally said that. So I don't and the 980 01:18:58.319 --> 01:19:02.840 Russians back out of him. I would, Vice President Pence, I have 981 01:19:02.840 --> 01:19:06.039 a new slash. The USSR does not exist anymore. It fell back in 982 01:19:06.119 --> 01:19:11.520 nineteen ninety. Threat. You talked about the communists and the real communists that 983 01:19:11.560 --> 01:19:15.600 we have to address right now. Have the idea Putin's aims. You already 984 01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:16.199 spoke now. I actually, yeah, no, no, no, he's 985 01:19:16.239 --> 01:19:19.600 right. I hope Pence is about to say this. Vladimir Putin already said 986 01:19:19.600 --> 01:19:25.119 he wanted to He regrets losing USSR. He wants to bring it back. 987 01:19:25.640 --> 01:19:30.239 He's been saying he wants to re establish Thank you, old Soviet sphere. 988 01:19:30.359 --> 01:19:35.960 You've made your point. You've insulted him by calling him a communist. He 989 01:19:36.159 --> 01:19:41.800 is a dictator and a murderer, and the United States of America needs to 990 01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:49.399 stand re against authoritarianism. Respond The real threat we face today is communist to 991 01:19:49.520 --> 01:19:55.720 China, and we are driving Russia further into China's arms. The Russia China 992 01:19:55.800 --> 01:20:00.439 military alliance is the single greatest threat we face. Nobody, either polit parties 993 01:20:00.439 --> 01:20:11.199 talking about everybody. Keep us, mister president here to give Russia, mister 994 01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:14.720 Vice President, give him a promise that Ukraine will never be in NATO, 995 01:20:15.279 --> 01:20:20.239 and then somehow mister China will not think about taking Taiwan. We achieved peace 996 01:20:20.520 --> 01:20:27.800 through strength, mister fist for freedom. Okay, here we go. I 997 01:20:27.800 --> 01:20:35.399 think when we hear this bell, that means your time's done. So mister 998 01:20:35.479 --> 01:20:39.760 Vice President, we appreciate your aggressiveness. No, I'm glad Penn said what 999 01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:43.039 he said. The seconds mister Ramaswamy, you were mentioned, you get thirty 1000 01:20:43.079 --> 01:20:48.279 seconds. So the reality is that what today Ukraine is not a prior. 1001 01:20:48.479 --> 01:20:53.119 He's been talking more than anybody. And I think that the same people who 1002 01:20:53.119 --> 01:20:55.720 took us into the Iraq War, the same people who took us into the 1003 01:20:55.800 --> 01:20:59.720 Vietnam War, you cannot end. You're not start another no win war. 1004 01:21:00.119 --> 01:21:01.840 And I do not want to get to the point where we're sending our military 1005 01:21:01.880 --> 01:21:06.039 resources abroad when we could be better using them here at home to protect our 1006 01:21:06.159 --> 01:21:10.359 own borders, protect the homeland. All Right, That will be my top 1007 01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:16.239 priority for protect this Giving money to Ukraine is quite literally protecting our homeland. 1008 01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:21.720 We respect everybody's time here. So Governor Haley, you did not raise your 1009 01:21:21.720 --> 01:21:27.800 hand meaning that you would support more funding for the Ukraine war. You have 1010 01:21:28.479 --> 01:21:32.920 said of Governor DeSantis that you didn't appreciate it when he initially called it a 1011 01:21:33.119 --> 01:21:38.840 territorial dispute. Why. First of all, the American president needs to have 1012 01:21:38.920 --> 01:21:42.560 moral clarity. They need to know the difference between right and wrong. They 1013 01:21:42.640 --> 01:21:45.640 need to know the difference between good and evil. When you look at the 1014 01:21:45.680 --> 01:21:49.520 situation with Russia and Ukraine, here you have a pro American country that was 1015 01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:54.720 invaded by a thug. So when you want to talk about what has been 1016 01:21:54.760 --> 01:21:59.800 given to Ukraine, less than three and a half percent of our defense budget 1017 01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:02.960 has been given to Ukraine. If you look at the percentages per GDP, 1018 01:22:03.560 --> 01:22:08.920 eleven of the European countries have given more than the US. But what's really 1019 01:22:08.960 --> 01:22:14.359 important is go back to when China and Russia held hands, shook hands before 1020 01:22:14.399 --> 01:22:18.680 the Olympics and name themselves unlimited partners. A win for Russia is a win 1021 01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:24.680 for China. We have to know that Ukraine is the first line of defense 1022 01:22:24.760 --> 01:22:29.159 for US. And the problem that Vvek doesn't understand is he wants to hand 1023 01:22:29.279 --> 01:22:32.079 Ukraine to Russia. He wants to let China eat Taiwan. He wants to 1024 01:22:32.119 --> 01:22:36.239 go and stop funding Israel. You don't do that to friends. What you 1025 01:22:36.359 --> 01:22:40.560 do instead is you have the backs of your friends Ukraine, it's a front 1026 01:22:40.640 --> 01:22:45.239 line of defense. Putin has said if Russia, once Russia takes Ukraine, 1027 01:22:45.239 --> 01:22:48.800 Poland and the Baltics are next, that's a world war. We're trying to 1028 01:22:48.920 --> 01:22:54.319 prevent war. Look at what Putin did today. He killed Purgozan. When 1029 01:22:54.359 --> 01:22:59.119 I was at the UN the Russian ambassador suddenly died. This guy is a 1030 01:22:59.239 --> 01:23:05.239 murder and you were choosing a murder or over a American country. Damn. 1031 01:23:05.520 --> 01:23:10.600 I think Nicky Haley just maybe as much as I disagree with her, I 1032 01:23:10.600 --> 01:23:14.119 think she may be the smartest person on that stage. It's your career on 1033 01:23:14.159 --> 01:23:17.760 the boards of Lockheed and raytheon, but the facts of the man off. 1034 01:23:18.039 --> 01:23:21.640 You've been pushing this line, You've been pushing this live all week to go 1035 01:23:21.720 --> 01:23:25.840 and defund Israel. You want to get let me address that. I'm glad 1036 01:23:25.840 --> 01:23:30.479 you brought that up and give address each of those alive get false is of 1037 01:23:30.600 --> 01:23:36.199 a professional politician. There you have it, you so you have no foreign 1038 01:23:36.279 --> 01:23:46.680 politic spirits. And then you know what I addressed that, Oh she's crushing 1039 01:23:46.720 --> 01:23:53.239 it. Never be stronger than by the end of my first term. But 1040 01:23:53.279 --> 01:23:57.560 it's not a quiet relationship. It is a friendship. And you know what 1041 01:23:57.680 --> 01:24:00.199 friends do. Friends help each other stand on their own two feet. So 1042 01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:03.680 I will lead Abraham Accords two point zero. I will partner with Israel to 1043 01:24:03.720 --> 01:24:08.760 make sure Iran never is nuclear armed. But you know what I love about 1044 01:24:08.800 --> 01:24:11.159 Israel, and I've been there probably in the last ten years, more than 1045 01:24:11.159 --> 01:24:13.640 most people on the stage. You know what I love about them. I 1046 01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:17.319 love their border policies. I love they're tough on crime policies. If the 1047 01:24:17.399 --> 01:24:21.399 national ideas trying to flip it ironed Dome, to protect their homeland and so 1048 01:24:21.479 --> 01:24:25.439 yes, I want to learn from the friends that we're supporting. And what 1049 01:24:25.520 --> 01:24:30.520 puzzles me, no, I want to learn from those protect our homeland Israel 1050 01:24:30.840 --> 01:24:38.640 the Americans. Governor Descantis, you were mentioned in the territorial dispute. Not 1051 01:24:38.680 --> 01:24:43.760 only no, it's not a territorial disputing of the United States. Your first 1052 01:24:43.920 --> 01:24:49.960 obligation is to defend our country and its people, and that means you're sending 1053 01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:54.680 all this money, but you're not doing what we need to do to secure 1054 01:24:54.680 --> 01:24:59.199 our own border. We have tens of thousands of people who are being killed 1055 01:24:59.239 --> 01:25:02.560 because what we're I'm not handling vote and so I am going to declare in 1056 01:25:02.600 --> 01:25:06.319 a national emergency, I'm not going to send troops to Ukraine, but I 1057 01:25:06.319 --> 01:25:11.800 am going to send them to our southern border. When these alright, alright, 1058 01:25:11.840 --> 01:25:15.520 alright, alright, alright, alright, these men sound like whiny little 1059 01:25:15.520 --> 01:25:21.560 babies. And Nicki Haley sounds like a leader, albeit that I would disagree 1060 01:25:21.560 --> 01:25:26.079 with on many things. She sounds strong, she sounds powerful, She sounds 1061 01:25:26.119 --> 01:25:31.800 like the smartest person on stage and the most reasonable Republican maybe aside from Chris 1062 01:25:31.920 --> 01:25:38.720 Christy, I think she's kicking ass up there. Believe the US just arrested 1063 01:25:38.760 --> 01:25:44.399 two sailors accused of spying for China within our military. So the question is, 1064 01:25:44.800 --> 01:25:49.000 how would you deter China as a president? Burgum, Well, this 1065 01:25:49.079 --> 01:25:51.560 is the number one issue we're facing, and of course we haven't been talking 1066 01:25:51.560 --> 01:25:55.079 about it, and we act like that, letting Russia win in the Ukraine 1067 01:25:55.640 --> 01:25:59.640 is like a gimme as opposed to a gift to China. Russia has become 1068 01:25:59.720 --> 01:26:02.479 China as gas station. But how would we do it? The Biden administration 1069 01:26:02.560 --> 01:26:08.560 is a complete fail. China imports ten million barrels of oil a day, 1070 01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:11.680 more than any other country in the world. They do not even have all 1071 01:26:11.680 --> 01:26:14.239 the food they need to feed everybody in that country, so they don't have 1072 01:26:14.359 --> 01:26:20.760 energy security of food security. But the Biden administration sends Blincoln yelling over there. 1073 01:26:19.880 --> 01:26:24.359 They're they're over there time. They don't even bring up this guy is 1074 01:26:25.199 --> 01:26:28.439 just be sure to fact check the things you're hearing. Okay. I don't 1075 01:26:28.479 --> 01:26:30.880 normally let a lot of things fly on this show without fact checking. But 1076 01:26:30.920 --> 01:26:34.760 I'm just I'm watching this live with you and trying to make it palatable. 1077 01:26:35.680 --> 01:26:39.479 But I cannot confirm the things that you're hearing. I don't know if it 1078 01:26:39.520 --> 01:26:42.760 should never start, which is the goal. The way you have piece through 1079 01:26:42.760 --> 01:26:45.600 strength is that you actually have strength, you actually have deterrence. And what 1080 01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:49.960 we have in what we've got going on in Ukraine is an example of when 1081 01:26:50.000 --> 01:26:56.159 deterrence fail. What is an example there of Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, 1082 01:26:56.439 --> 01:27:00.159 the fact that he green lighted Putin moving into Ukraine and then now they see 1083 01:27:00.159 --> 01:27:02.000 weakness, and when they see weakness, they make a move. And we 1084 01:27:02.079 --> 01:27:05.000 have to make strong and we have to be strong both in Ukraine, and 1085 01:27:05.079 --> 01:27:09.680 we can solve the southern border. Absolutely, we can do that because guess 1086 01:27:09.680 --> 01:27:13.680 what, there's only nineteen eight hundred and fifty five authorized people for the border 1087 01:27:13.720 --> 01:27:17.000 patrol. But they're not all staff because the Biden administration doesn't enforce law enforcement. 1088 01:27:17.039 --> 01:27:21.680 But Biden administration wanted to put eighty seven thousand people in the IRS as 1089 01:27:21.680 --> 01:27:25.479 opposed to giving the money in this fort. We need to our own border 1090 01:27:25.520 --> 01:27:29.800 patrol. Eighty seven to fifty thousand of those were replacing people who retired. 1091 01:27:30.439 --> 01:27:34.319 Again, more bullshit coming out of the GOP or the eighty seven thousand IRS 1092 01:27:34.439 --> 01:27:40.680 agents at higher or double the number of border patrol agents. I just left 1093 01:27:40.800 --> 01:27:45.279 Yuma, Arizona, about two weeks ago. The most pressing need of the 1094 01:27:45.319 --> 01:27:49.359 American people from a national security standpoint is our southern border. It has led 1095 01:27:49.399 --> 01:27:58.119 to the death of seventy thousand Americans because of fitting all plus six million illegal 1096 01:27:58.199 --> 01:28:04.920 crossings, says President Biden has taken office and two hundred people on our National 1097 01:28:05.000 --> 01:28:10.279 Security watchless have been caught at our border? How many wait a minute, 1098 01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:13.520 have not been caught at ours? Wait? If they've been caught at the 1099 01:28:13.560 --> 01:28:17.600 border, how was it open? And you want to talk about how many 1100 01:28:17.600 --> 01:28:23.239 people got through? Do you want to talk about more people being caught at 1101 01:28:23.239 --> 01:28:28.560 the border now than we're caught during the Trump administration. If people are being 1102 01:28:28.600 --> 01:28:33.079 caught, how was the border open? These people are talking out of their 1103 01:28:33.119 --> 01:28:38.600 ass of this government. As the next president of the United States, I 1104 01:28:38.640 --> 01:28:43.640 will make that border wall complete. There are many more questions. I love 1105 01:28:43.640 --> 01:28:46.239 how they accidentally make the point of the Democrats when they're trying to argue against 1106 01:28:46.239 --> 01:28:49.560 the policy. One thousand, Profeneral, We've lost two hundred thousand people to 1107 01:28:49.640 --> 01:28:54.199 overdose this since Biden took office. That's three hundred people a day. We're 1108 01:28:54.199 --> 01:28:58.199 taking mass casualties and those aren't that's a statistic. But these are sons and 1109 01:28:58.279 --> 01:29:01.239 daughters, nieces and nephews that were losing. We've got North Dakota troops down 1110 01:29:01.239 --> 01:29:04.119 there flying. Now, you guys have any idea that Biden was killing people 1111 01:29:04.119 --> 01:29:10.920 with FENTONYL Jeez had no clue. They've got better funding on their side than 1112 01:29:10.960 --> 01:29:14.880 we've got on our side. Speaking of what, Speaking of which, images 1113 01:29:14.960 --> 01:29:19.760 from earlier this month, Dotnor Hutchinson with Mexico Vice President Pens. Images from 1114 01:29:19.760 --> 01:29:25.359 earlier this month, Vice Presient Pens. It really doesn't help. I'm asking 1115 01:29:25.399 --> 01:29:32.359 a question. Earlier this month, images showed suspected cartel members crossing into Texas 1116 01:29:32.439 --> 01:29:41.000 with rifles. Do you consider this an invasion? Would you authorize lethal force 1117 01:29:41.560 --> 01:29:47.600 along that border? There would be lethal force used by the border patrol law 1118 01:29:47.720 --> 01:29:53.359 enforcement as needed to protect the border. Absolutely. When you look at the 1119 01:29:53.399 --> 01:29:58.600 military, the military has to be used for intelligence gathering purposes. This is 1120 01:29:58.640 --> 01:30:03.039 not unusual. Whenever I was in the Bush administration, we went down there 1121 01:30:03.079 --> 01:30:09.239 and met with President Vincente Fox of Mexico and ask his help in going after 1122 01:30:09.279 --> 01:30:13.319 the cartel's and he looked at me and said they're a problem to us as 1123 01:30:13.319 --> 01:30:18.439 well, and so we joined together and we took down the Ariana Felix brothers 1124 01:30:18.760 --> 01:30:24.119 leading the Tiajuana cartel. And that made a difference where Moan was shot and 1125 01:30:24.199 --> 01:30:28.960 killed and Ben and Mean was captured. Cooperation makes a difference. We cannot 1126 01:30:29.000 --> 01:30:35.399 be successful going against the cartel unless we bring in Mexico as a partner. 1127 01:30:35.439 --> 01:30:41.000 We have to use economic pressure to accomplish that. President Oberdoor has not been 1128 01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:45.760 helpful and we have to use economic pressure that this administration is not using. 1129 01:30:45.119 --> 01:30:48.479 The rule of all has to matter on both sides of it. This is 1130 01:30:48.600 --> 01:30:53.520 critical. I've done it. We know what needs to be done. The 1131 01:30:53.560 --> 01:31:00.199 military has to be limited in its use. When after nine to eleven we 1132 01:31:00.239 --> 01:31:03.279 had the global war on terror and guess what, we protected the border at 1133 01:31:03.359 --> 01:31:08.239 the same time. You can do both. Okay, let's go to governor 1134 01:31:08.279 --> 01:31:15.920 to Santis. So, as president, would you support sending US special forces 1135 01:31:15.960 --> 01:31:20.199 over the border into Mexico to take out fentanel labs, to take out drug 1136 01:31:20.239 --> 01:31:26.680 cartel operations? Would you support that kind of American military Yes, and I 1137 01:31:26.720 --> 01:31:31.399 will do it on day one. Here's the thing. The cartels are killing 1138 01:31:31.880 --> 01:31:36.239 tens of thousands of our fellow citizens. You want to talk about a country 1139 01:31:36.239 --> 01:31:41.640 and decline, you have the cartels controlling a lot of part of your southern 1140 01:31:41.640 --> 01:31:45.800 border. We have to re establish the rule of law and we have to 1141 01:31:45.840 --> 01:31:49.880 defend our people. The President of the United States has got to use all 1142 01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:56.359 available powers as commander in chief to protect our country and to protect the people, 1143 01:31:56.640 --> 01:32:00.000 so when they're coming across, Yes, we're going to use lethal forces. 1144 01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:02.640 Yes, we reserve the right to operate. How many more tens of 1145 01:32:02.720 --> 01:32:06.079 thousands are we gonna let to die? I am sick. I've met angel 1146 01:32:06.199 --> 01:32:11.960 moms throughout this country. I met a lady in Texas named Tracy and her 1147 01:32:12.000 --> 01:32:19.840 son no one purkose set. Okay, this is the Biden killed this lady's 1148 01:32:19.880 --> 01:32:26.039 son. You know clearly, that's guys. I don't know why I torture 1149 01:32:26.119 --> 01:32:31.399 myself like this. I want you to know what's happening out there. And 1150 01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:35.359 I know some of you won't listen or watch this without me, and I 1151 01:32:35.479 --> 01:32:40.359 love you for it, but I don't. I don't want to watch it 1152 01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:43.760 without you. You know, we need to do this like on a live 1153 01:32:43.840 --> 01:32:47.439 I think maybe there needs to be like maybe a live stream to where we 1154 01:32:47.479 --> 01:32:55.079 can all do it together. You know. Yeah, I'll look into that 1155 01:32:55.159 --> 01:32:59.399 for future debates. I don't I don't want to do this anymore. I 1156 01:32:59.479 --> 01:33:02.119 don't these people. I don't like the amount of lies. I'll say so 1157 01:33:02.159 --> 01:33:05.520 far, and I'm hoping it's wrapping up soon. I'll say so far, 1158 01:33:06.960 --> 01:33:11.319 Nicky Haley, I think is a standout. I think Pence is doing a 1159 01:33:11.319 --> 01:33:13.520 little better than I thought he would. He's actually got a little bit more 1160 01:33:13.520 --> 01:33:17.520 of a spine than I thought he did. Chris Christy said a couple of 1161 01:33:17.600 --> 01:33:20.680 hard hitting things against Trump that I'm glad he said out loud. But I 1162 01:33:20.800 --> 01:33:27.000 thought he would be a little more forward and powerful in this debate, and 1163 01:33:27.000 --> 01:33:33.640 he's kind of taking a back seat to Nicki Haley. Ada Hutchinson is pretty 1164 01:33:33.680 --> 01:33:40.199 sensible for you know, for a Republican, but he barely talks. And 1165 01:33:41.039 --> 01:33:44.479 I still don't even know the guy's name. That's the governor of North Dakota. 1166 01:33:45.039 --> 01:33:50.439 So yeah, and then Ramaswamy is just whack job city. And then 1167 01:33:51.279 --> 01:33:59.039 you know, De Santiss just looks weak and whiny and avoiding questions. That's 1168 01:33:59.039 --> 01:34:01.399 where I stand with this pensis flapping his lips. Now, let's see what 1169 01:34:01.399 --> 01:34:06.960 he's saying the same way, and we will partner with the Mexican military and 1170 01:34:08.039 --> 01:34:12.640 we will hunt down and destroy the cartels that are claiming lives in the United 1171 01:34:12.680 --> 01:34:16.039 States. Okay, thank you. Another issue that is relation to this is 1172 01:34:16.079 --> 01:34:21.760 that almost seven million migrants have crossed this border, our southern border. During 1173 01:34:21.800 --> 01:34:27.399 the Biden administration. So, Governor Christie, what would you do about the 1174 01:34:27.479 --> 01:34:30.920 seven million who are here? How would you handle them? What would you 1175 01:34:30.960 --> 01:34:33.119 do? Look, Martha, the first thing we need to do is to 1176 01:34:33.159 --> 01:34:36.800 stop anymore from coming. That's the first thing we need to do. Then 1177 01:34:36.960 --> 01:34:41.279 the next thing we need to do with the folks that are here is to 1178 01:34:41.640 --> 01:34:45.359 again, as we've talked about all night tonight, we have to have law 1179 01:34:45.359 --> 01:34:47.680 and order in this country. We have to enforce the law, and what 1180 01:34:47.720 --> 01:34:53.600 that means is to make sure that people who come here illegally are not rewarded 1181 01:34:53.920 --> 01:34:58.520 for being here illegally. We have so many wonderful people from around the world 1182 01:34:58.920 --> 01:35:02.479 who are waiting in line, following the law to try to come here and 1183 01:35:02.600 --> 01:35:09.279 pursue the American dream. And those people are waiting and waiting and waiting. 1184 01:35:09.640 --> 01:35:14.039 Because we haven't dealt with the problem of the folks who are here. We 1185 01:35:14.159 --> 01:35:17.479 have to have them detained. We have to make sure that they are not 1186 01:35:17.600 --> 01:35:23.399 rewarded for having broken the law. And one less he doesn't sound ready for 1187 01:35:23.439 --> 01:35:27.479 this questions with China, we can't take our eye off of that ball. 1188 01:35:28.199 --> 01:35:30.199 Yes, it's important that we hear Penn saying, right, I think this 1189 01:35:30.239 --> 01:35:35.119 is gonna end up being like a Christy Pence duo situation in chemicals to these 1190 01:35:35.199 --> 01:35:42.000 drug cartels for them to create the fentanyl that is killing hundreds of thousands of 1191 01:35:42.039 --> 01:35:45.640 our citizens. The Chinese are engaging in an act of war against us, 1192 01:35:46.039 --> 01:35:51.039 killing our citizens. We better make that priority one in our conversations with China 1193 01:35:51.279 --> 01:35:55.319 and to try to straighten that relationship out, because if we don't, we're 1194 01:35:55.359 --> 01:35:58.439 gonna lose more and more of our citizens. Want to clarify, would you 1195 01:35:58.520 --> 01:36:04.520 send those people back? Of course you'd have to. We have a lot 1196 01:36:04.560 --> 01:36:08.600 of issues that America disagree with, Christie, and next stop we're going to 1197 01:36:08.600 --> 01:36:14.479 talk about the crisis in education as millions of American children are not proficient in 1198 01:36:14.560 --> 01:36:18.720 reading or math. After this, but we're the greatest nation in the world, 1199 01:36:18.800 --> 01:36:24.359 right, you got all these problems. It's funny this party talks about 1200 01:36:24.439 --> 01:36:28.800 how great the country is, yet brings up all of these things were terrible 1201 01:36:28.800 --> 01:36:31.239 at and now we're going to fix it for reading, in math for fifteen 1202 01:36:31.279 --> 01:36:35.560 year olds and thirteen year olds. Government descantis, it's probably by nominate you 1203 01:36:35.640 --> 01:36:40.600 said, the Department of Education. But as president, would you still have 1204 01:36:40.640 --> 01:36:45.439 a responsibility to fix this crisis as we see it. Absolutely, the decline 1205 01:36:45.479 --> 01:36:49.479 in education is one of the major reasons why our country is in decline. 1206 01:36:49.960 --> 01:36:56.239 We need education in this country, not indoctrination in this country. And in 1207 01:36:56.279 --> 01:37:00.159 Florida, Wow, Florida, we stood up for what was right for We 1208 01:37:00.239 --> 01:37:03.000 had schools open during COVID and a lot of the problems that we've seen are 1209 01:37:03.000 --> 01:37:06.800 because these lockdown states lock their kids out of school for a year year and 1210 01:37:06.800 --> 01:37:10.239 a half. That was wrong. We stood up. I took a lot 1211 01:37:10.239 --> 01:37:13.800 of fire for that. I was pilloried by the media, but I stood 1212 01:37:13.800 --> 01:37:15.600 for our kids, and as president, I'll stand for you and your kids 1213 01:37:15.640 --> 01:37:20.359 as well. But we have to make sure that what our schools are doing 1214 01:37:20.520 --> 01:37:26.319 is focusing on solid academics. In Florida, we eliminated critical race theory from 1215 01:37:26.319 --> 01:37:30.600 our K through twelve schools, We eliminated gender ideology from our K through twelve 1216 01:37:30.640 --> 01:37:35.800 schools, and we have elevated the importance of American civics and teaching our kids 1217 01:37:35.840 --> 01:37:41.520 about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As President, I'm going to 1218 01:37:41.640 --> 01:37:47.079 lead an effort to increase civic understanding and knowledge of our Constitution. We cannot 1219 01:37:47.079 --> 01:37:51.279 be graduating students that don't have any foundation in what it means to be an 1220 01:37:51.319 --> 01:37:58.560 American. Mister, mister Pett, mister Ramiswami, hold on center Scott. 1221 01:37:59.159 --> 01:38:02.319 You've said that the Department of Education, the FBI, the ATF, the 1222 01:38:02.399 --> 01:38:06.640 Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the IRS, the Department of Commerce, many of these 1223 01:38:06.680 --> 01:38:12.760 should not exist. That's great. So the education question, talk about deal 1224 01:38:12.800 --> 01:38:15.319 with the crisis, talk about radics. So look, we have a crisis 1225 01:38:15.359 --> 01:38:17.199 of achievement. Let's shut down the head of the snake, the Department of 1226 01:38:17.319 --> 01:38:21.319 Education. Take that eighty billion dollars, put it in the hands of parents 1227 01:38:21.359 --> 01:38:26.680 across this country. This is the civil rights issue of our time. Allow 1228 01:38:26.720 --> 01:38:30.359 any parent to choose where they send their kids to school, and the teachers 1229 01:38:30.479 --> 01:38:34.439 unions at the local level to allow public schools to compete. What five our 1230 01:38:34.520 --> 01:38:41.199 national identity, where every high school senior should have to pass the same Civics 1231 01:38:41.239 --> 01:38:44.880 test that frankly, every immigrant, including my mother, had to pass in 1232 01:38:44.960 --> 01:38:48.000 order to become a citizen of this country. And the fact of the matter 1233 01:38:48.159 --> 01:38:51.760 is, look, there's a part of education policy that also rests with the 1234 01:38:51.840 --> 01:38:56.159 family. I didn't grow up in money, but you know, the word 1235 01:38:56.199 --> 01:38:58.720 privilege gets used a lot. Well, you know what, I did have 1236 01:38:58.760 --> 01:39:03.199 the ultimate privilege of two parents in the house with a focus on educational achievement, 1237 01:39:03.359 --> 01:39:05.920 and I want every kit to enjoy that. So part of the problem 1238 01:39:06.000 --> 01:39:11.640 is we also have a federal government that pays single women more not to have 1239 01:39:11.680 --> 01:39:14.920 a man in the house than to have a man in the house, contributing 1240 01:39:14.960 --> 01:39:18.159 to an epidemic of fatherlessness. And I think that goes hand in glove with 1241 01:39:18.199 --> 01:39:23.159 the education crisis as well, because we have to remember education stones with the 1242 01:39:23.199 --> 01:39:27.000 family, and the nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to it. 1243 01:39:27.079 --> 01:39:30.600 Oh my god, this guy is so terrible. They're gonna love him. 1244 01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:35.000 He is Trump two point er has said. Governor Haley has said that 1245 01:39:35.119 --> 01:39:41.640 biological boys playing in girls' sports is the women's issue of our time. You 1246 01:39:41.680 --> 01:39:45.479 said that even though you signed a ban on this in North Dakota, that 1247 01:39:45.520 --> 01:39:48.760 there hadn't been one instance where it was actually needed. Are you saying that 1248 01:39:48.800 --> 01:39:53.760 you think that too much is made of this issue. No, I'm saying 1249 01:39:53.760 --> 01:39:57.279 in North Dakota we made a priority of protecting women's sports, and we've done 1250 01:39:57.319 --> 01:40:00.159 that in our state. But I would absolutely do that. But I do 1251 01:40:00.239 --> 01:40:03.359 think when we start talking about education, and we think that we're going to 1252 01:40:03.439 --> 01:40:08.560 have a federal government one size fits all. We're just completely losing track of 1253 01:40:08.600 --> 01:40:13.720 the fact that education differs by states. Some school districts are doing a fantastic 1254 01:40:13.800 --> 01:40:16.800 job, some less so. But the idea that every school district, state 1255 01:40:16.840 --> 01:40:20.439 and every teacher is somehow in doctrining people's just false. You know, when 1256 01:40:20.479 --> 01:40:24.640 I was building a company from scratch, you know, with small town kids, 1257 01:40:24.680 --> 01:40:26.520 and we went you know, grew up in a town a three hundred, 1258 01:40:26.520 --> 01:40:30.159 but we built a global company in one hundred and thirty two countries with 1259 01:40:30.199 --> 01:40:32.880 over one hundred thousand customers. We listened to as customers. We spend time 1260 01:40:32.920 --> 01:40:35.520 with them, We talked to them. We did that. And as governor, 1261 01:40:35.880 --> 01:40:39.520 well, education is one of the biggest part of a state budget. 1262 01:40:39.600 --> 01:40:42.520 So as a governor, I go I shadow a student. I don't the 1263 01:40:42.600 --> 01:40:45.399 night before I find out the students, the student finds out. I'm going 1264 01:40:45.439 --> 01:40:47.720 to go to every class with them. I don't sit in lecture. School 1265 01:40:47.720 --> 01:40:49.840 districts try to do it. I go and see the experience. And there's 1266 01:40:49.880 --> 01:40:53.439 a lot of things that have to change. But what needs to change in 1267 01:40:53.560 --> 01:40:57.640 education is it's innovation. We're doing it the same way we did it fifty 1268 01:40:57.680 --> 01:41:00.680 years ago, with innovation not regulation. I would get rid of the Department 1269 01:41:00.680 --> 01:41:03.600 of Education. I would give block grants to schools, but i'd give them 1270 01:41:03.640 --> 01:41:06.840 on merit based on who's doing the most innovative. I just got done holding 1271 01:41:06.840 --> 01:41:12.640 the seventh Annual Governor's Conference on Innovation Education. You should see what the people 1272 01:41:12.640 --> 01:41:15.359 are doing when you get cut, loose the red tape, get the burden 1273 01:41:15.399 --> 01:41:17.840 off their back. They care. Teachers in this country, the mad basque 1274 01:41:17.840 --> 01:41:21.479 majority of them care about those kids. They're working in low paying jobs and 1275 01:41:21.520 --> 01:41:27.840 they're fighting, fighting for those kids and their families'll be women's issue at our 1276 01:41:27.880 --> 01:41:31.039 time. First, I'll tell you, as you know as a parent, 1277 01:41:31.119 --> 01:41:34.159 the one thing you want is for your child to have a better life than 1278 01:41:34.199 --> 01:41:38.479 you did. And we can talk about all of these things, and there's 1279 01:41:38.520 --> 01:41:41.960 a lot of crazy, woke things happening in schools, but we've got to 1280 01:41:41.960 --> 01:41:45.199 get these kids reading. If a child can't read by third grade, they're 1281 01:41:45.199 --> 01:41:48.119 four times less likely to graduate high school. So we need to make sure 1282 01:41:48.159 --> 01:41:53.159 we bring in reading remediation all over this country. We need transparency in the 1283 01:41:53.159 --> 01:41:57.199 classroom because parents should never have to wonder what's being said or taught to their 1284 01:41:57.279 --> 01:42:01.279 children in the classroom. Parents need to be deciding which schools their kids go 1285 01:42:01.359 --> 01:42:05.760 to because they know best. And let's put vocational classes back into the high 1286 01:42:05.760 --> 01:42:11.039 school. Let's teach our kids to build things again. When we do that, 1287 01:42:11.199 --> 01:42:14.399 we allow that innovation, that's when it will get back. And yes, 1288 01:42:14.479 --> 01:42:17.680 I will always say I'm going to fight for girls all day long because 1289 01:42:18.600 --> 01:42:24.520 strong girls become strong women, Strong women become strong leaders, and biological boys 1290 01:42:24.560 --> 01:42:30.840 don't belong in the locker rooms of any of our The lightning round, and 1291 01:42:30.920 --> 01:42:33.239 the first question is going to go She's still Republicans president, So this is 1292 01:42:33.279 --> 01:42:39.600 a lightning round. She's still Republicans. Forget answers please. President Biden will 1293 01:42:39.640 --> 01:42:45.560 be eighty two years old on inauguration day. Nearly seventy percent of Americans say 1294 01:42:45.600 --> 01:42:49.359 that he is too old to serve. Should presidents have to pass a mental 1295 01:42:49.439 --> 01:42:57.439 and physical test in order to serve Vice President Pence, Well, it might 1296 01:42:57.479 --> 01:43:04.720 be a good idea to have everybody in Washington, DC passing not bad seconds. 1297 01:43:04.760 --> 01:43:08.640 No, the American people can make those judgments. But let me say 1298 01:43:08.840 --> 01:43:13.079 I'm running for president in the United States, because we don't need a president's 1299 01:43:13.119 --> 01:43:16.800 too old, and we don't need a president's too young. We need a 1300 01:43:16.840 --> 01:43:20.960 president who's been there. We need a president who knows how Congress works, 1301 01:43:21.359 --> 01:43:26.279 how the White House works, how states worked. And on this education issue, 1302 01:43:26.319 --> 01:43:30.359 Martha, I was fighting against no child left behind. When Republicans were 1303 01:43:30.359 --> 01:43:33.399 double in the Department of Education, I'll also shut down the federal Department of 1304 01:43:33.520 --> 01:43:38.520 Education. And when I was governor, we doubled the size of the largest 1305 01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:44.520 school choice program in America. And we'll give school choice to every family in 1306 01:43:44.560 --> 01:43:48.520 America. This is a lightning round. Mister Ramaswami. I think there, 1307 01:43:48.560 --> 01:43:51.760 you're thirty eight, you're the youngest on the stage. You've said, and 1308 01:43:51.800 --> 01:43:55.479 you just said, you want a Civics test or a public service for those 1309 01:43:55.560 --> 01:43:59.479 under twenty five to be able to So Pence's translation there is I want to 1310 01:43:59.479 --> 01:44:03.039 give a bunch of millions and millions of dollars to religious families to then put 1311 01:44:03.039 --> 01:44:09.680 that money into private Christian schools to indoctrinate kids with public funding. That's what 1312 01:44:09.720 --> 01:44:14.399 that means. So the question is, do you want a mental acuity test 1313 01:44:14.720 --> 01:44:17.239 for presidents over seventy five? I believe in the people of this country to 1314 01:44:17.239 --> 01:44:20.920 tell the difference between somebody who's an automaton and somebody who's actually a thinking agent 1315 01:44:20.960 --> 01:44:24.800 in the White House, which we don't have in there today. And I 1316 01:44:24.800 --> 01:44:28.199 will tell you I want to address Vice President Pensis comment. I think we 1317 01:44:28.279 --> 01:44:31.720 do need somebody of a different generation to lead this nation forward. Look at 1318 01:44:31.720 --> 01:44:35.319 the way I've run this campaign. Go into the south side of Chicago to 1319 01:44:35.439 --> 01:44:41.319 Kensington in the middle of Philadelphia, where traditional Republican candidates don't go. We 1320 01:44:41.399 --> 01:44:45.560 have an opportunity to build a multi ethnic, working class majority to deliver a 1321 01:44:45.680 --> 01:44:49.239 land. People do not understand lightning round. They don't respect it. They 1322 01:44:49.279 --> 01:44:51.279 know that at the end of it, there's going to be some kind of 1323 01:44:51.920 --> 01:44:56.560 you know, calculation that says Ramaswamy, you had the most talking time, 1324 01:44:56.680 --> 01:44:59.439 or you know, Chris Christie had the least amount of talking time, or 1325 01:44:59.439 --> 01:45:06.479 whatever, and they're just trying to get in the news of this. Everybody's 1326 01:45:06.520 --> 01:45:10.880 going to get listen. We're getting control of the debate. This is a 1327 01:45:10.960 --> 01:45:15.039 lightning round, not rolling thunder. Governor Hutchinson, you have thirty seconds on 1328 01:45:15.119 --> 01:45:19.000 the same question on education. First of all, look at Arkansas. We 1329 01:45:19.079 --> 01:45:24.640 have to compete with China. I built computer science education. We lead the 1330 01:45:24.720 --> 01:45:30.680 nation in computer science education, going from eleven built students to twenty built computer 1331 01:45:30.880 --> 01:45:33.600 education. This is how you compete with China. As President of the United 1332 01:45:33.680 --> 01:45:38.399 States, I will make sure we go from fifty one percent of our schools 1333 01:45:38.439 --> 01:45:44.199 offering computer science to every school in rural areas and urban areas offering computer science. 1334 01:45:44.439 --> 01:45:49.399 For the benefit of offering this isn't seventy eight in terms of technology. 1335 01:45:49.600 --> 01:45:54.720 This is going to go. This is coming to you. We're trying to 1336 01:45:54.760 --> 01:45:58.760 do a quick round of different topics here. So, Senator Scott, faith 1337 01:45:59.000 --> 01:46:01.239 is undeclined in this country. You talked about it a little bit before me. 1338 01:46:01.399 --> 01:46:04.600 Yeah, it. So is there a role for a president of the 1339 01:46:04.680 --> 01:46:10.439 United States in changing that? What would you do to change that? While 1340 01:46:10.439 --> 01:46:14.479 our nation was founded upon the Judaeo Christian values that has made this the greatest 1341 01:46:14.560 --> 01:46:16.880 nation on God's green earth? It was I'm a big believer and Ephesians three 1342 01:46:16.920 --> 01:46:20.640 twenty that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask our 1343 01:46:20.720 --> 01:46:27.279 magic. Our responsibility should be to model the behavior we want others to follow. 1344 01:46:28.319 --> 01:46:31.720 On education. The only way we change education in this nation is to 1345 01:46:31.880 --> 01:46:38.680 break the backs of the teachers unions. They are standing in the doorhouse of 1346 01:46:38.680 --> 01:46:45.119 our kids, locking them into failing schools and locking them out of the greatest 1347 01:46:45.119 --> 01:46:49.279 future they could have. As President, Governor DeSantis, would you support some 1348 01:46:49.359 --> 01:46:54.439 mandatory military service for all Americans. I think it should be voluntary. I'm 1349 01:46:54.479 --> 01:46:59.640 somebody that volunteered to serve inspired by September eleventh, and I deployed to Iraq 1350 01:47:00.399 --> 01:47:04.960 alongside US Navy Seals in places like Felujah Ramadi, and it's something that I 1351 01:47:04.960 --> 01:47:08.880 think has taught me. You know, when you go in that type of 1352 01:47:08.960 --> 01:47:13.119 environment, anything, you have your personal agenda, you check it at the 1353 01:47:13.159 --> 01:47:16.920 door you go there, and it's about focusing on the mission above all else. 1354 01:47:17.279 --> 01:47:21.000 He keeps saying alongside Navy seals. He keeps trying to compare himself the 1355 01:47:21.079 --> 01:47:26.640 Navy seals, hoping people will misunderstand and thinking he was a Navy seal all 1356 01:47:26.640 --> 01:47:31.159 these other side issues. My sole focus will be on your future and reversing 1357 01:47:31.199 --> 01:47:36.000 this country's decline. Okay, now for something a little out of this world, 1358 01:47:36.079 --> 01:47:39.680 and this is for you, the Governor, Christie. Do you believe 1359 01:47:39.720 --> 01:47:46.000 that the recent spike in UFO encounters. Look at the UFO question. Come 1360 01:47:46.039 --> 01:47:50.640 on, come on, man, Okay, we've been hearing a lot of 1361 01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:55.119 We've hearing here a lot of testimony in Congress, and people are taking this 1362 01:47:55.159 --> 01:47:58.600 lap more seriously, and we're hearing that you know, there are things going 1363 01:47:58.640 --> 01:48:02.640 on that people aren't aware of. So if you were president, Governor Christie, 1364 01:48:02.920 --> 01:48:09.520 would you level with the American people about what the government knows about these 1365 01:48:09.600 --> 01:48:15.680 possible look Martha's and especially coming from a woman from New Jersey, I think 1366 01:48:15.000 --> 01:48:17.960 it's horrible that just got them off. From New Jersey. You asked me 1367 01:48:18.000 --> 01:48:24.920 about unidentified flying objects and martians. We're different, but we're not that different. 1368 01:48:26.039 --> 01:48:30.560 Look. Of course, the job of the President United States is to 1369 01:48:30.720 --> 01:48:34.479 level with the American people about everything. The job of the President United States 1370 01:48:34.640 --> 01:48:41.039 is to stand for truth. The job of the President United States is to 1371 01:48:41.079 --> 01:48:45.560 be a role model for our children and our grandchildren. And so, whether 1372 01:48:45.560 --> 01:48:49.000 it was UFOs or this problem of education, and Tim's right, by the 1373 01:48:49.039 --> 01:48:54.520 way, and I started this in twenty ten by going right after the teachers 1374 01:48:54.600 --> 01:48:58.600 unions in New Jersey and drove them down to an all time low popularity rating 1375 01:48:58.680 --> 01:49:02.239 because they're putting themselves for our kids. That is the biggest threat to our 1376 01:49:02.239 --> 01:49:12.800 country, not UFOs oion closing arguments. Teacher unions. From teacher unions are 1377 01:49:12.800 --> 01:49:21.079 the biggest threat to our country. If this, if this is, if 1378 01:49:21.079 --> 01:49:26.159 this is teaching us anything, it's that I am further and further from being 1379 01:49:26.159 --> 01:49:30.680 a Republican every day of my life. That number has now plummeted to just 1380 01:49:30.800 --> 01:49:35.319 thirty nine percent. In his pitch to get to the Oval Office, President 1381 01:49:35.319 --> 01:49:43.640 Reagan called America the shining city on a We'll be back after this. Twenty 1382 01:49:43.680 --> 01:49:48.319 years ago, seventy percent of American adults said they were extremely proud to be 1383 01:49:48.560 --> 01:49:54.880 an American. That number has now plummeted to just thirty nine percent. In 1384 01:49:54.960 --> 01:49:59.399 his pitch to get to the Oval Office, President Reagan called America the shining 1385 01:49:59.520 --> 01:50:02.479 city on hill, a beacon of hope and optimism. So when you're a 1386 01:50:02.520 --> 01:50:08.880 closing statement tonight, please tell American voters why you are the person who can 1387 01:50:09.039 --> 01:50:14.439 inspire this nation to a better day. These are forty five seconds, and 1388 01:50:14.479 --> 01:50:20.640 we begin with Governor Bergham. I understand why America asserting Biden's inflation is choking 1389 01:50:20.720 --> 01:50:26.439 us. I grew up in a small town. Inflation is actually way down 1390 01:50:26.640 --> 01:50:29.600 under Biden. My mom, widow of three, went back to work. 1391 01:50:30.319 --> 01:50:32.479 Every job I had growing up was one right. I took a shower at 1392 01:50:32.520 --> 01:50:36.279 the end of the day and not at the beginning of the day. Our 1393 01:50:36.760 --> 01:50:41.039 cities are less safe because the fent and all pouring into this country. Okay, 1394 01:50:41.079 --> 01:50:45.560 these are the memorized stump speeches that just make me cringe, But I'll 1395 01:50:45.560 --> 01:50:49.520 try to get through as many as I can. One thing that I'll do 1396 01:50:49.640 --> 01:50:54.279 is president, I'll secure the border. You get this economy, you get 1397 01:50:54.399 --> 01:50:58.640 interesting, not calling like it is right now. And I would say that 1398 01:50:58.760 --> 01:51:01.479 other thing is for sure. When I'm on a horseback in the badlands of 1399 01:51:01.560 --> 01:51:05.960 North Dakota, it looks like the horizon is just limitless. And when you 1400 01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:10.439 can almost see beyond that horizon, you can see that this great country, 1401 01:51:10.520 --> 01:51:14.680 our future is unlimited. But we've got to focus on innovation, not regulation. 1402 01:51:15.039 --> 01:51:16.560 We've got to cut the red tape. We've got to drive ourselves toward. 1403 01:51:16.640 --> 01:51:19.960 The way we win the Cold War with China is by growing our economy 1404 01:51:19.960 --> 01:51:25.600 into innovation. And as president, he's a terrible speaker, bring out the 1405 01:51:25.600 --> 01:51:31.239 best of America. I will improve every American life. Government improve every American 1406 01:51:31.319 --> 01:51:39.439 life. Every Yeah, our nation is in troubles of failed leadership, and 1407 01:51:39.479 --> 01:51:44.319 the solution is not full more years of Joseph Biden. The solution is not 1408 01:51:44.439 --> 01:51:49.479 full more years of Donald Trump. The solution is new leadership that can bring 1409 01:51:50.479 --> 01:51:56.319 bold ideas to America and to bring out the best of America. A president's 1410 01:51:56.399 --> 01:52:01.000 number one responsibility is to bring out the best of our people. That's what 1411 01:52:01.239 --> 01:52:05.399 Ronald Reagan did, and he did it with optimism and hope for our country. 1412 01:52:05.560 --> 01:52:13.039 These people are so boring. These standard stump speeches are atrocious. Everything's 1413 01:52:13.079 --> 01:52:16.199 Joe Biden's fault. I'm so much better. It's time for hope and change, 1414 01:52:16.359 --> 01:52:20.600 rinse and repeat. But is the money gonna go up? Is anybody 1415 01:52:20.640 --> 01:52:25.760 gonna get any healthcare? Are we gonna stop believing conspiracy theories and lean on 1416 01:52:25.880 --> 01:52:28.880 science? Those are the things we need to be talking about. But these 1417 01:52:28.920 --> 01:52:31.439 people, they know they're not going to get Republican votes if they say those 1418 01:52:31.479 --> 01:52:38.520 things, so just oh, that's on my own. I was a disillusion 1419 01:52:38.640 --> 01:52:43.079 young man growing up in a single parent household mired in poverty. I wondered 1420 01:52:43.119 --> 01:52:45.840 if the American dream was real For a kid like me. I can stay. 1421 01:52:45.920 --> 01:52:49.520 You can hear him reading from his memory. Insidely he's got he's looking 1422 01:52:49.560 --> 01:52:54.880 at words in the front of his forehead, just saying this for memory, 1423 01:52:55.479 --> 01:52:58.279 making sure we have food on our tables. She taught me that if you're 1424 01:52:58.319 --> 01:53:00.600 able bodied in America, you work. If you take out a loan, 1425 01:53:00.880 --> 01:53:04.880 you pay it back. You commit a violent crime, you go to jail. 1426 01:53:05.359 --> 01:53:09.840 And if God made you a man, you play sports against men. 1427 01:53:12.359 --> 01:53:15.000 Oh my god, I'm too Scott. I'm asking you for your vote, 1428 01:53:15.039 --> 01:53:19.520 and if you're in Iowa, I'm asking you to caucus for men to just 1429 01:53:20.199 --> 01:53:26.880 these people are so cringey. It's almost over governor, almost over come on. 1430 01:53:27.000 --> 01:53:30.680 Let's go. Thank you, Martha. Look, everybody on this stage 1431 01:53:30.720 --> 01:53:34.359 wants to be the next president of United States, and the only way that's 1432 01:53:34.399 --> 01:53:38.720 going to happen is if we beat Joe Biden. I'm the only one on 1433 01:53:38.720 --> 01:53:42.600 this stage has ever beaten the Democratic incumbent in election. I did it in 1434 01:53:42.640 --> 01:53:47.199 a deep blue state, being outspent three to one. Beating a Democratic incumbent 1435 01:53:47.279 --> 01:53:51.560 is not easy. The last Democratic incumbent president who was defeated was Jimmy Carter, 1436 01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:57.760 and he was defeated by a conservative governor from a blue state who knew 1437 01:53:57.760 --> 01:54:01.720 how to get results, who stood for the truth, who cared about accountability, 1438 01:54:02.359 --> 01:54:06.399 and stood strong and hard against waste. Those are the very things that 1439 01:54:06.439 --> 01:54:11.239 I did in my eight years as governor of New Jersey, and it's exactly 1440 01:54:11.239 --> 01:54:15.920 what I'll do as President of the United States. Believe me, the Democrats 1441 01:54:15.079 --> 01:54:20.000 want some other nominee who's never beaten the Democratic incumbent. I'm the one who 1442 01:54:20.000 --> 01:54:23.760 can win this race, and if you give me the chance, I will 1443 01:54:23.800 --> 01:54:30.279 restore our country by winning it. Thank you, Governor Haley. Several weeks 1444 01:54:30.279 --> 01:54:34.399 ago, I dropped to my husband, Michael, a combat veteran from Afghanistan, 1445 01:54:35.319 --> 01:54:40.920 off at four am for another year long deployment. I watched him in 1446 01:54:41.000 --> 01:54:45.720 two hundred and thirty soldiers pick up their two Duffel bags of belongings to go 1447 01:54:45.840 --> 01:54:50.159 to a country they had never been, all in the name of protecting America. 1448 01:54:50.479 --> 01:54:56.000 If they are willing to protect us from there, we should be willing 1449 01:54:56.039 --> 01:55:00.800 to fight for America here. And they have amazing health care. I wonder 1450 01:55:00.800 --> 01:55:05.039 why they have access to so much good healthcare but the rest of us don't 1451 01:55:05.680 --> 01:55:10.760 without paying six hundred and fifty dollars a month for law enforcement. And we 1452 01:55:10.800 --> 01:55:14.760 will make sure we have a strong national security. And once again, we 1453 01:55:14.800 --> 01:55:17.720 will make sure we have an America that is strong and proud. We have 1454 01:55:17.840 --> 01:55:21.319 a country to say, join us, go to NICKI Hailey dot com and 1455 01:55:21.399 --> 01:55:32.000 let's get it done. Vice person pass. Thank you, Bret Martha with 1456 01:55:32.079 --> 01:55:36.399 this evening, it's an honor to be here. Joe Biden has a weakened 1457 01:55:36.760 --> 01:55:44.119 somebody was that a fart? The disaster? Bret Martha with this evening, 1458 01:55:44.119 --> 01:55:47.760 It's an honor to be here. Joe Biden has a weakened America. One 1459 01:55:47.800 --> 01:55:54.800 more, I think someone farted. I'm gonna turn it up with this evening, 1460 01:55:54.840 --> 01:55:59.399 It's an honor to be here. Joe Biden has a weakened America at 1461 01:55:59.439 --> 01:56:05.119 home. Someone the disastrous which are all from Afghanistan, their war on energy, 1462 01:56:06.079 --> 01:56:10.560 runaways, spending that launched the worst inflation in forty years, a crisis 1463 01:56:10.560 --> 01:56:14.239 at our southern border, an assault on our values and liberties, and the 1464 01:56:14.279 --> 01:56:16.800 American people have had enough. But I know what we can bring it back. 1465 01:56:17.560 --> 01:56:21.840 But different times called for a different leadership. The Republican Party owes the 1466 01:56:21.880 --> 01:56:28.600 American people the choice proven leadership. He's so cringey. How to move a 1467 01:56:28.640 --> 01:56:31.000 conservative? He's so cringe it's like he's in a movie. It's like he's 1468 01:56:31.039 --> 01:56:36.479 in a He's like the protagonist of a Christian film that nine people saw. 1469 01:56:36.760 --> 01:56:41.880 You know, a good, decent, hard working, faith filled, idealistic 1470 01:56:41.920 --> 01:56:45.000 people in this country. And I have faith that God has not done with 1471 01:56:45.079 --> 01:56:48.159 America yet. And if we will renew our faith in one another and renew 1472 01:56:48.239 --> 01:56:54.479 our faith in Him who has ever guided this nation since we arrived on these 1473 01:56:54.479 --> 01:56:58.800 wilderness shores, he arrived, you mean, took over and started killing people 1474 01:56:58.840 --> 01:57:02.800 to steal land and sources. I was born in nineteen eighty five, and 1475 01:57:02.880 --> 01:57:09.000 I grew up into a generation where we were taught to celebrate our diversity and 1476 01:57:09.159 --> 01:57:14.399 our differences so much that we forgot all of the ways we are really just 1477 01:57:14.479 --> 01:57:18.319 the same as Americans, bound by a common set of ideals that set this 1478 01:57:18.399 --> 01:57:24.079 nation into motion in seventeen seventy six. And this is our moment to revive 1479 01:57:24.439 --> 01:57:29.720 those common ideals. God is real. There are two genders. Fossil fuels 1480 01:57:29.720 --> 01:57:34.880 are a requirement for human prosperity. Reverse racism is racism, and open border 1481 01:57:34.960 --> 01:57:41.560 is not a border. Parents determine the education of their children. The nuclear 1482 01:57:41.640 --> 01:57:45.880 family is the greatest form of governance known to man. Capitalism lifts us up 1483 01:57:45.920 --> 01:57:53.439 from poverty. Three branches of government, not four, and the US Constitution. 1484 01:57:53.560 --> 01:57:58.079 It is the strongest guaranteur of freedom in human history. That is what 1485 01:57:58.199 --> 01:58:00.960 want us. The American rebels are okay with Trump saying we should suspend it. 1486 01:58:01.000 --> 01:58:03.680 This guy's talking out on both sides of his ass. I mean it 1487 01:58:03.800 --> 01:58:15.880 is myself tonight. Thank you. Oh God, he's so cringe. Governor. 1488 01:58:16.720 --> 01:58:20.720 This is our shot up for choosing. We will send Joe Biden back 1489 01:58:20.760 --> 01:58:26.039 to his basement, and we will reverse the decline of this country. I'm 1490 01:58:26.079 --> 01:58:29.720 a blue collar kid. I work minimum wage jobs. God, this is 1491 01:58:29.760 --> 01:58:32.600 this is guys. I'm sorry. I don't know if you want to hear 1492 01:58:32.600 --> 01:58:36.239 his shit or not. So many millions of Americans will restore it. I'm 1493 01:58:36.279 --> 01:58:40.319 a veteran who served in Iraq. I know what it means to put service 1494 01:58:40.359 --> 01:58:43.640 above self. I'm also a dad and a husband to six, five and 1495 01:58:43.680 --> 01:58:47.079 three year old I understand the importance of protecting parents' rights and the well being 1496 01:58:47.119 --> 01:58:51.000 of our children. In Florida, we showed it could be done. I 1497 01:58:51.119 --> 01:58:56.840 made promises and I delivered on all of those. It sounds like a high 1498 01:58:56.840 --> 01:59:00.520 school debate, like that's how cheesy some of these things are. Get the 1499 01:59:00.640 --> 01:59:03.840 job done, and as your president, I will not let you down. 1500 01:59:03.960 --> 01:59:10.439 God bless you all. Oh his smile, he just thinks he crushed it. 1501 01:59:10.720 --> 01:59:14.039 All the candidates on the stage tonight. I'm thank you to Milwaukee. 1502 01:59:14.560 --> 01:59:17.319 Thank you everybody. We will see you on the campaign trail from to me. 1503 01:59:17.399 --> 01:59:26.119 Wow, Oh my god, I'm so glad that's over. I don't 1504 01:59:26.119 --> 01:59:30.399 even want to I don't even want to recap. I'm exhausted. This is 1505 01:59:30.800 --> 01:59:35.119 Hopefully there will be fewer people on stage next time. I've already kind of 1506 01:59:35.119 --> 01:59:42.159 given my thoughts. I think I think Nicky Haley I've won this debate. 1507 01:59:43.800 --> 01:59:47.640 I think Mike Pence is a strong second place. And this is from my 1508 01:59:47.720 --> 01:59:55.760 perspective of being the most logical on the side of Republicans. Unfortunately, the 1509 01:59:55.840 --> 02:00:04.880 Republican Party's direction is so backwards to human integrity and decency. Ramaswamy is probably 1510 02:00:04.960 --> 02:00:12.000 gonna do great. He's probably gonna climb in the polls. He's probably gonna 1511 02:00:12.039 --> 02:00:15.439 look like the superstar, and he's going to be the Donald Trump replacement, 1512 02:00:20.600 --> 02:00:27.640 but his policies are atrocious, his ideas are ridiculous, and Pence, Nicky 1513 02:00:27.720 --> 02:00:31.560 Haley, and Chris Christie all very well pointed out that he clearly has no 1514 02:00:31.640 --> 02:00:34.720 experience and is talking out of his ass up there. But you know what, 1515 02:00:36.039 --> 02:00:39.680 that's what Trump did, and he won. He not only won the 1516 02:00:39.760 --> 02:00:44.439 GOP nomination, he won the presidency. So talking out of your ass might 1517 02:00:44.479 --> 02:00:49.319 not be the worst strategy. Not knowing what the hell you're doing doesn't disqualify 1518 02:00:49.399 --> 02:00:56.119 you from this job. Well, we did it. We got through that 1519 02:00:56.479 --> 02:01:00.279 atrocious thing together. I hope I didn't ruin it for you. I'm sure 1520 02:01:00.279 --> 02:01:06.279 it's available to you on the on the interwebs as you're listening to this if 1521 02:01:06.319 --> 02:01:09.720 you want to go back and hear something that I muted or turned down or 1522 02:01:09.720 --> 02:01:14.439 skipped over. But I tried the best I could. Thank you so much 1523 02:01:14.439 --> 02:01:19.359 for supporting the show.
