WEBVTT 1 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.160 Seven oh six, I think about krc DE talk station 2 00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:19.280 kind a very happy Wednesday. So you have been looking 3 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.399 forward to this time, this time of the morning since 4 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:22.960 I got here this morning and found out I'd be 5 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.039 speaking with head of the Hamlin counter or I did 6 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.480 it again, head of the Ohio Republican Party, Alex Shroud 7 00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.159 to FeelA formerly head of the Hemlin kind of Republican Party, 8 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.320 Alex t Welcome back in a very happy new year 9 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:35.039 to you, my friend. 10 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.079 Well to you too as well. Brian. It's good to 11 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.520 be with you, and it's a little chilling out there 12 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.280 this morning, but I'm really glad to be with you. 13 00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.079 Well, I'm glad you're here, and there just seems to 14 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.200 be I don't know, I feel it. Maybe it's just 15 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.000 because I was happy that of course Kamala Harris isn't 16 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.000 going to be inaugurated on on Monday anyway, but a 17 00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:01.039 general feeling or an air of positivity, enthusiasm, and they 18 00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.399 can even use the h word hope in the air 19 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.120 now that we've got Donald Trump getting ready to be 20 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.480 sworn in, no. 21 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:09.239 Question about it, and you're actually seeing it in some 22 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.519 of the polling, I mean, the right track wrong track 23 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.159 number which you know what that means is posters for 24 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.640 a long time, they've pulled the question. For the Americans. 25 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.239 You feel like the country is on the right track 26 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.000 or the wrong track. And you know that right track 27 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.000 number has improved already. And you know, Donald Trump hasn't 28 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.920 even taken the oath of office. But you know it's 29 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.359 because Americans want to tackle the issues on the southern border. 30 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.640 They want to see a surviving economy at lowest prices, 31 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.200 lifts wages. You know, people remember that President Trump's first 32 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.480 term was a successful term for the American people. And 33 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.840 again I've said this a million times on your show 34 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.159 and others. Donald Trump is an unconventional politician, but that's 35 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.319 what America wants right now. They want to change agent. 36 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.079 They want things to be better for the middle class, 37 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.400 better for working people. So I think there's a definitely 38 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.280 an optimism a hope for America, and you know, I 39 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.719 know I share it. I'm actually hopping up the rushan 40 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.560 DC today till I don't be back in Ohio until 41 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.840 we have President Trump back in office. So it's it's 42 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:11.199 an exciting time and there's definitely optimism and hope out there. 43 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.759 Brian Well, and you know what, what's sort of surprising 44 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.960 and maybe not, but when you see Zuckerberg and others 45 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.280 in these you know four I will say, formerly sort 46 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.400 of woke companies completely completely shifting and and you know, 47 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.840 getting rid of de EI for example. And that's a 48 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.520 growing phenomenon. So more and more companies every day are 49 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.080 throwing out the whole concept of DEI and and investment 50 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.879 strategies that focus on you know, green and things like that, 51 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.479 obviously bad for investment, but that now they I guess, 52 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.680 feel relief enough that they can come out and go 53 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.439 in a polar opposite direction. I guess they really weren't 54 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.000 weed to those principles, and because they're not willing to 55 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.000 stick with them, I don't think it's fear of Donald 56 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.360 Trump's retaliation and wanting to cowtow and kiss the ring, 57 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.599 as the case may be, more so than they really 58 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.400 didn't maybe believe them in the first place. 59 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.199 I think that's exactly right. What we know about American 60 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.439 capitalism is that we have built we've built the country 61 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.879 Brian on the concept of exceptionalism. And you know, the 62 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.639 reason people have flocked the United States, the reason my 63 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.199 you know, my parents, my mom, others came to the 64 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.080 United States, is they knew that this was a place 65 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.840 if you worked hard and you were excellent and you 66 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.840 tried to do good things, and again you played by 67 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.280 the rules that you could succeed and do well and 68 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.719 it didn't matter your ethnicity, etc. And that's and right now, 69 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.800 what happened to the American left is they left behind 70 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.080 American exceptionalism and they said, you know, we're going to 71 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.000 start worshiping a new god of diversity, and that's not 72 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.479 working and hasn't worked in American companies. Successful American companies 73 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.879 know that to survive and to build great companies that 74 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.840 create great jobs for the American people, you've got to 75 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.439 really focus on exceptionalism and having the best people. And 76 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.800 I don't care what race they are. We shouldn't care. 77 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.759 That shouldn't be the vision for America. So eliminating some 78 00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.960 of these DEI initiatives and some of these equitable kind 79 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.199 of measures that have been put into corporate America I 80 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.520 think are natural place, frankly for a lot of these 81 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.800 companies to be because they know that to build great 82 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.719 companies you can't just make decisions we are based on 83 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.280 things like race. I mean, we've a long time said, 84 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.800 let's judge people on their character, let's not judge them 85 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.040 based on other things. And if we do that, we're 86 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.120 gonna have great companies. And by the way, Brian, we're 87 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.360 going to have people who are diverse within the companies 88 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.600 because there are great people of every race, every ethnicity, uh, 89 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.040 you know, every any, every kind of group. And if 90 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.199 we just say let's put the best in the brightest 91 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.240 in place, and let's not worry about some of these 92 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.319 other things, America is going to improve, and it's going 93 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.160 to improve companies in this country. It's going to improve 94 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.240 job creation. So you know, again, I think the companies 95 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.720 being there, you get it, you nailed it, and that 96 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.680 is that companies are this is kind of a natural 97 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.120 place for them to be, and that it's just get 98 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:52.240 back to building great companies and don't worry about social 99 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.759 experiments within you know, within your corporate structure. 100 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.519 Well, in this whole, the DEI and other far love 101 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.360 sort of woke policies came from a slice. I don't 102 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.920 know how big this segment was, but the loudest squeaking 103 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.959 wheels within the Democrat Party and stifling at least I 104 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.480 perceive that there are I mean, there are some decent 105 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.560 moderate Democrats out there, but their voices were stifled by 106 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.040 this and they, you know, basically just collapsed and gave 107 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.920 into all this woke ideology. And that serves as a 108 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.000 springboard for my question to you, do you think that 109 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.519 those more moderate voices will re emerge and that some 110 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.279 logic and reason will come back to the Democrats and 111 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.399 that they won't pose, you know, just a stifling opposition 112 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.639 to every proposal that comes out of the Republican side 113 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:38.720 in terms of legislation. 114 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.720 Well, the answer it was ay better. I mean, they 115 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.839 you know, they took a beating in this election, and 116 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.839 they deserve to. And again I said this. I've said 117 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.120 this for two years. You know, I've been the Ohio 118 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.560 GOP leader and I've said it, and I sometimes I 119 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.079 see the mainstream press is wow, you know, he's spinning. 120 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.000 But the Democratic Party, Brian left, the mainstream of American politics. 121 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.839 The extremists in America are in Democratic Party. That's where 122 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.680 the extremists are. The mainstream of America is in the 123 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.319 center right. And you know they love to talk about 124 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.160 far right extremists, and you know, the media as corrupted. 125 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.800 They've become their hatred of Donald Trump has really destroyed 126 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.600 so much of the mainstream breast, But they won't actually 127 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.120 call out Democrats for their extreme policies. Not having a 128 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:25.360 secure southern border and allowing literally millions, tens of millions 129 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:30.600 of non Americans to just flow into the country is extreme, right. 130 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.120 I mean, we don't have a country if we don't 131 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.680 have borders. No other country in the world allows just 132 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.680 a total free flow of non citizens. And you know, look, 133 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.160 you know, I'm a child of immigrants. We love immigrants. 134 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.439 My family took in Greek immigrants my whole life and 135 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.519 have been helpful, and I love immigrants, like President Trump 136 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.680 has married two immigrants. So it's not like we're anti immigration. 137 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.399 But this idea that you just have us poorous southern 138 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:55.560 border and allow anybody to enter the country, Brian, that's 139 00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.120 an extreme idea. And for three years, Joe Biden and 140 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.360 his borders are Kamala Harris embraced this idea that we 141 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.040 were at a southern border, and the American people just 142 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:07.959 woke up one day and said, we don't have a 143 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.240 country left anymore. So those kind of things are extreme. 144 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.759 And so again your question is will they tack back 145 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.879 to the center if they want to win elections. I 146 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.800 mean again, I you know, one of the things I 147 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.720 love about being Ohio is it's pretty red. Now you 148 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.040 go to you know, eighty two of the eighty eight 149 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.680 counties and it's pretty strongly Republican. And Democrats just simply 150 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.240 don't compete in Ohio. They don't complete in any of 151 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.759 the rural communities. They don't compete in part of those 152 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.839 rust belt towns. And I don't love that phrase, but 153 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.439 you know, I spent a lot of time in live 154 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.759 in Ohio. You know, brian Place is like Youngstown that 155 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.519 used to be strongly Democrats. There's strongly Republican nows. They're 156 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.800 looking at Democrats and say, you're not about helping me 157 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.120 keep a job. You're not helping about you're not about 158 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.279 helping the middle class. So you know, they've left that 159 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.879 mainstream of American politics. And if they don't sort that out, 160 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.720 you know it's going to be to my benefit because 161 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.360 my job is the elect Republican, something we did very 162 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.480 well in twenty twenty four. Y're in Ohio, so you know, 163 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.839 we're you know, part of me, you know, fine with 164 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:00.720 where they are, but look, we're have a world best 165 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.399 conversation in America about the future. It's not bad to 166 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.279 have a party in opposition, and you know, I hope 167 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.079 the Democrats start to kind of return to the American dream, 168 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.879 and that is supporting middle class people, supporting job creators, 169 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.560 you know, respecting the rule of law, creating a southern border, 170 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:17.720 you know, patriotism, all those things. 171 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.759 Well, and one observation before we end up taking a 172 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.000 break here to get to other topics, and I hope 173 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:24.839 I can hold you over for another segment, if that's 174 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:29.519 okay with you. Of course, Yes, the announcements from the 175 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:33.000 FBI and DOJ about the threats, the domestic threats we 176 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.440 have here. Obviously the security of our country. You know, 177 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.360 we have to supposed to be protecting our country from 178 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:42.399 threats both you know, internal and domestic and external. But 179 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.519 that open border and the people that have been identified 180 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.519 and quote unquote caught or as many of the case 181 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.960 may be in released, I mean Chinese military, aged men, 182 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.399 members of terrorist groups, folks from countries that have been 183 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:02.360 identified as harbors and and and supporters of terrorism. I 184 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.919 mean we have we have allowed and the Biden administration 185 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:11.480 has permitted a dangerous, dangerous maybe you know, bubbling behind 186 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.080 the scene threat to the American people. That's that's another 187 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.240 component of this open borders thing. I mean, you can 188 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.639 be as you know, open minded as you want about 189 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:21.960 the general concept, but when you get to a person 190 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.360 by person analysis, I mean, I'm I'm very concerned about 191 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.200 something along those lines. You know that's just festering behind the. 192 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.600 Scenes, well as am I and I And that's I 193 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.840 think the first job of this government is going to 194 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.759 be with Tom Homan, who's the you know, the new 195 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.480 borders of are, so to speak, the Homeland Security guy 196 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.519 is going to do is try to identify the criminals 197 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.879 who are amongst us, who are not United States citizens, 198 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:49.480 who came here illegally, and can deport them first and foremost. 199 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.480 But no, look, I think what your your concern is 200 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.720 a very real one, and it's a it's a bumbo. 201 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.480 I pray for the country, yes, that we never pay 202 00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.519 a serious price in this regard, but you know, I'm 203 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.320 worried about I think Americans all right to worry that. 204 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.639 And look, it'll be unfortunately a part of the very 205 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.360 negative legacy left by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. 206 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.559 Yeah, to be unleashed during the Trump administration is what 207 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.480 my fear is. You know, they're holding their their keeping 208 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.919 their powder dry, and they want to put just like 209 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:17.799 when the Antifa folks emerge and the cities were taken 210 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.200 over and there were protests with Black Lives Matter in 211 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.360 the streets over almost literally everything that any police officer 212 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.559 ever did that was designed to be a thorn in 213 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.559 the side of the Trump administration. And I think that's 214 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.639 the The more larger threat is some terrorism that might 215 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.600 go on or some attacks within the United States by 216 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.600 the by the throngs that were allowed in our country unvetted. 217 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.240 Let's pause, We'll bring Alex Chrantafilo back after I mentioned 218 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.639 foreign exchange.

I'm honored to know him. 283 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.559 I've known him since before he was ever elected to office. 284 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.919 You know, we're very excited. That's probably the understatement of 285 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.399 the day. I I just couldn't be more happy about 286 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.159 uh about traveling here to see my friend JD. Vance 287 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.600 become Vice President of the United States and uh, and 288 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.720 you know, just to celebrate this moment. So yeah, we're 289 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.080 all getting ready, and there's a whole bunch of folks 290 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.440 probably some of them listening, that are coming uh to 291 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.480 Washington over the weekend where we're going to have celebrate 292 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.919 Centator Bernie Marino's victory, celebrate uh, you know, just our 293 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.600 Republican victories up and down the ballot. 294 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.759 Yeah, Ohio's presence is really dramatically improved. So hopefully little 295 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.000 in your to our benefit A little bit along those lines. 296 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.480 Speaking of JD. Vance, and I'm glad you brought him up. 297 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.440 And you know, he's impressive. You know, when people interview him, 298 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:40.399 when he gets you know, pointed questions asked of him, 299 00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.519 he's really a quick thinker and quick on his feet 300 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:47.639 and has very coherent, logical and reasonable responses. So that's 301 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.639 impressive in and of itself. But who's going to be 302 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:50.519 his replacement? 303 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:54.440 You know, I don't know the answer. I don't know 304 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.879 the answer to that. We may find out today, Brian, 305 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:58.799 but I am not proving of that information. This is 306 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:00.840 the governor's call, and you know, I haven't spoken to 307 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.159 the governor more than a week, and uh, we're all 308 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.720 anxious to see. I know the rumor mill is an overdrive, 309 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:07.840 but you'll never know. I mean, this is ultimately the 310 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.240 governor's call, and you know, hopefully it happens here quickly. 311 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.960 We've got to get another senator up there. But I know, 312 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:15.720 you know, and of the governors on the job. And 313 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.639 I know for a fact that governor has talked to 314 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.320 a lot of different Ohiolands about this. And the one 315 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.559 thing about the governor is he does is due diligence. 316 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.799 He's been the United States Senator himself. You know, he's 317 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.600 into his second term as our governor here, so he 318 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.720 will work on that process. And uh, and I'm told, 319 00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:34.120 I'm told we should know soon. So I don't. I 320 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.480 don't know anything just to report to. 321 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.600 You yet, Brian, John Houston, anybody that's the answer to 322 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:39.840 the question, I think. 323 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.440 Well, that's you're certainly have to have your rumor. And 324 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.279 I'm reading the same priss clipping as everybody else is. 325 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.759 And uh, and you know, again, these are people I 326 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:50.799 know well, and you know I looked at the Governor's 327 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.080 a lot of great choices. John houstaid, it's very smart. Uh, 328 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:57.039 he's focused, really, Brian, on economic development. I what I 329 00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.240 would say about about the Lieutenant governor, and youably have 330 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:01.679 had him on your show. But if you ever want 331 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:05.559 to really get a lesson on how to develop companies, 332 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.399 you know, public private partnerships, to make sure that we 333 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.519 have a government that stays out of the way of 334 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.519 business but also creates an environment for business as a thrive. 335 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:17.000 I've never heard anybody better on the topic. I fundamentally 336 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:20.639 mean that I've watched I've been dazzled, frankly by John 337 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.039 Housted's knowledge of economic development. He didn't do it for 338 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.519 more than thirty years. It's one of those underreported things. 339 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.000 I know, Brian, you you like me, care a lot 340 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.720 about sort of policy, and I think if you ever 341 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.200 have him on, ask him just about his vision for 342 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.080 economic development and the world that government limited role government 343 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.519 can play and he's brilliant. Again, But there are lots 344 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:40.480 of people that are interested in this thing. Jane Timkins 345 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.679 a great friend of mine, you know, Frank LeRose is terrific. 346 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.240 I move got some really good people so well. 347 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.799 If I was a betting man, that's all I'd say. Eddie, Alex, 348 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:52.600 I tell you I wish you and I know my 349 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.080 listeners do issue. You know, Safe travels, best luck. I 350 00:16:55.120 --> 00:17:00.080 hope it's everything goes along smoothly and without incident underline, 351 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.919 and we'll hit the ground running after swearing, and I 352 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.240 understand that they soon to be President Trump again. We'll 353 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.079 have a stack of executive orders to start signing almost instantaneously. 354 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.960 This guy is tireless, President Trump. Everybody knows that this 355 00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:19.039 guy works seven days a week. It's it is no joke. 356 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.240 We are trading out, you know, Joe Biden for a 357 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.359 super high energy person. And I know people like to 358 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.400 talk about his age. It's not fair to they do 359 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.559 it in response to the serious criticism that Joe Biden 360 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:34.839 deserved President Trumps on his A game.
