WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.760 --> 00:00:04.240 Hi, everybody, Welcome to the right side. Doug Billings here 2 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.560 with you today, Monday, March thirty. First. Wow, yesterday's announcement. 3 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:11.320 I did it. I took the plunge. You know, I've 4 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.560 talked a lot since I've known you, since you've been around. 5 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.079 For the last five years, I've been doing this show. 6 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.600 Two million people a month watch or listen to this thing, 7 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:26.640 and they were absolutely thrilled yesterday. The results are in 8 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.559 the reviews coming in. I announced yesterday that I'm running 9 00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:35.640 for the governorship of the state of Kansas. I've lived 10 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.320 in Kansas for the last thirty four years, and it 11 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.520 has been in the grip of the commune socialist movement, 12 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.920 especially in the governor's office. We have a super majority 13 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.520 of Republicans in the House and the Senate in Kansas, 14 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.600 but yet we don't get enough done. We need a 15 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.000 strong conservative governor in that office. I'm the one. The 16 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.159 Magga template, it's mine. We are going to run with it. 17 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.400 Trump has invented it. We're going to implement it in Kansas. 18 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.079 Ladies and gentlemen, Ron DeSantis, who Christy nom huh? What 19 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.640 state is she from? Governor Billings is going to be 20 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.840 the new template for the American governorship across this republic. 21 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.599 Just wait and see. You've not seen anything yet. And 22 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.239 I'm going to get into all of the reasons in 23 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.280 this episode, one of how I as governor will make 24 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.959 Kansas great again.

He's exactly what America needs right now. 33 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.959 Looking for honesty, looking for wisdom, looking for truth, looking 34 00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:01.400 for patriotism.

Are you ready? 38 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.159 We are not liberal snowflakes who've build away in the 39 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.599 face of tragedy, adversity and challenge. We are a covenant 40 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:22.719 Nason under God and his divine providence is not dead 41 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.599 and it's not gone. It is living within each and 42 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.319 every one of you, and you will bring it to 43 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.520 life in such a way that the world has never 44 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.360 seen before. We never back down, we never give up. 45 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:50.759 We march forward. Here are laies and gentlemen, welcome back. 46 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.520 All right, we're gonna get into it today. We uh 47 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.080 The messages have been coming in from all over. I 48 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.439 have General Flynn supporting us, John rich out of Bashville 49 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.840 offering some words of encouragement. Today, Roger Stone texted me 50 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.919 we have lots of people and there will be many 51 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.520 more to come, believe me. Supporting me with regards to 52 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.120 my run for the governorship of the state of Kansas. 53 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.199 I have spoken with you for the past five years 54 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:24.280 about determined prayer, determined patriotism, and the reasons why our 55 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:29.759 republic has fallen into the grip of radical liberalism. I 56 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.039 call it Commune Socialist the Commune Socialist Party. I have 57 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.520 spoken about determined prayer, which I think is obvious most 58 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.560 people understand what prayer is. But the determined patriotism part, 59 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.199 what does that mean? What exactly do I mean. Well, 60 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.520 I'm going to get into all of this, but determined 61 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.039 patriotism is basically doing the hard work of it all. 62 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.639 It means doing what we need to do in our local, 63 00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.560 grassroots level to recover this republic and whatever state that 64 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.800 you live in within the Republic from the grip of 65 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:07.520 the Commune Socialist Party. Taren Hey, thank you, Tarn Buer. 66 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.759 I see you there on Facebook. Thank you for the encouragement. 67 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:13.599 I'm watching the chat line as I do the show 68 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.480 live here today, as I always do. But let's get 69 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.199 into this because I'm going to dive into what has 70 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.639 not only you know, caused me to throw my name 71 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.560 in the hat, but Kansas needs it needs bold of leadership. 72 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.920 You know, so so often the establishment, the elected class 73 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.800 doesn't tell you what you need to know. They're only 74 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.720 telling you what they think their donors want to know 75 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.879 and what to hear. So I'm not beholden to any 76 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.600 of that. I am an outsider, completely never involved in 77 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.639 politics in my life. Now I talk about politics every 78 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.319 day on this show. I of course create the most 79 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:57.319 intellectually mature podcast audience in all of podcast land. Ladies 80 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.120 and gentlemen, and you're part of it because we talk 81 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.319 about the truth. We look at the state of play 82 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.879 in America, and I have told you during these past 83 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.319 five years the truth, whether it's COVID election integrity, or 84 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.879 you know, Ukraine, or the border crisis, or what really 85 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.399 is the agenda behind this radical democratic movement that we're 86 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.839 seeing in America, Because it's stricken every state in this union. 87 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.000 So we need a politician below. I guess I'm going 88 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:25.879 to be one who's going to tell you the truth, 89 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.040 who's going to tell you like it is, who has 90 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.279 the guts, the gusto, and the passion to tell you 91 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.639 the truth. And I'm not going to dance around the issues. 92 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.360 We've been in trouble far too long for anybody who 93 00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.240 wants to earn the honor of your vote to dance 94 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:46.519 around issues. So I've got a master's degree in curriculum 95 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.959 and instruction. If you're from Retel, Missouri, that's basically education. 96 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.399 I've got a master's degree in curriculum and instruction, and 97 00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:00.079 I have spent my professional career in human resources, growing 98 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.240 up and rising through the ranks to become a vice 99 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:07.800 president of human resources negotiating. Part of my main responsibility 100 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:14.120 was negotiating deals, negotiating collective bargaining agreements with unions. I 101 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.519 was always on the corporate side, championing you know, capitalism 102 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.600 and the workers and the companies and so forth. But 103 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.399 we had to come to the table. I did and negotiate. 104 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.639 And you talk about using the art of the deal, folks, 105 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.560 That's what I've done for the past thirty years. So 106 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.399 if we need someone to sit down and negotiate and 107 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.759 be tough, I'm the one. I'm going to do it. Look, 108 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.839 we need common sense solutions in Topeka, Kansas and around 109 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.360 this Republic. I don't want you to turn off the 110 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.439 show if you don't live in Kansas, by the way, 111 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.439 because what you're going to witness here right now today 112 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.240 is someone putting forth to you the template for the 113 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.920 governor you should elect in whatever state you live in 114 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.879 is I've got a plan that's going to make Kansas 115 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.480 the envy of every state in the nation. I'm talking 116 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:09.399 about eliminating property tax. They've tried to do this in Kansas. 117 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:12.160 We are supposed to have, you know, on paper, this 118 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:17.439 quote unquote super majority of Republicans, but as you all know, 119 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.000 we are plagued with a rhino problem. Republicans in name only. 120 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.240 I'm going to re revolutionize the educational system. Now that 121 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.680 the Department of Education on the federal level is gone, 122 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.720 We're going to take a look at education at Kansas 123 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.319 and make it a role model for other states around 124 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.079 this country. I'm going to launch my version of k 125 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:43.480 DOS Kansas Department of Government Efficiency. Yeah, we're gonna model 126 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.160 it after what Elon has done. Look, folks, I'm a 127 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.600 Maga Conservative. I don't need to reinvent the wheel heel here. 128 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.920 President Trump has already given us the template to go forward, 129 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.639 and I will with the Maga agenda. I am not 130 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:58.439 fooling around. We are going to go We're going to 131 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.519 hit the ground running. This is going to be epic 132 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:09.839 on every every imaginable scale. So we have truth, honesty, 133 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:17.360 property tax gone, education highlighted, k DOOS, the Department of 134 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:22.639 Government Efficiency in Kansas. I'm also going to get rid of, eliminate, 135 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.439 and do away with, once and for all, every woke 136 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:30.120 and DEI initiative in the state of Kansas. Gone could 137 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:37.840 put They're out. You know wokeism and the DEI. You 138 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.360 know diversity, equity and inclusion, Well those are code words 139 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.679 for racism. They are code words for prejudice, and we're 140 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:50.080 going to put it into it. We don't have any 141 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.559 time for that in Kansas, nor should you no matter 142 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.120 where you live. So here's what you do if you're 143 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.440 looking for a governor wherever you live, especially if you're 144 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.440 in Kansas. I'm going to start with item number one, 145 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.559 and these are listed in no particular order. They're all 146 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.519 equally important and equally part of what I'm going to 147 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.799 do as governor, eliminating property tax. If there's one thing 148 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.279 that Kanson's are tired of, and I'm sure that you 149 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:16.320 are too wherever you live, it's the government reaching into 150 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:21.960 our pockets and taking our property taxes every year. As 151 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.759 a MAGA conservative, I believe that you need to keep 152 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.759 more of your heart earned money. You know, property tax 153 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.120 is a relic, ladies and gentlemen. It's a dinosaurs. It 154 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.639 should be extinct. It punishes you for owning a home, 155 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:41.080 a car, a farm, or a business. And I would 156 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.039 even make the case. Look, I believe property tax is unconstitutional, 157 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:47.840 and we're going to make that case in front of 158 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:49.840 the courts in Kansas. I'm going to work with the 159 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.919 legislation of court, the legislators in Kansas are good men 160 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.799 and women. The Republicans. Now there's a few rhinos in 161 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.759 the mix, but the majority of them are good people. 162 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:04.919 Just need the governor to be the voice of passion 163 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.279 and of drive and of leadership and to use the 164 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:12.039 governor's bully pulpit to drive these messages. So what's the 165 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:16.799 plan with regarding property tax? I'm going to eliminate it entirely. Now, 166 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.159 the governor in Kansas just can't do that unilaterally. We 167 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.120 have to I would have to work with the legislators 168 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.120 and I will. But automatically, people go, well, if you're 169 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.039 going to do away with a tax, how do we 170 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:34.120 fund schools and roads? Doug. That's the liberal rhino mindset, 171 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.279 that's what they're going to do. Simple, I would say. 172 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.600 The answer is to that, we streamline state spending, we 173 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.039 cut waste kdos for example. I'll get to that in 174 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.960 a minute, and we shift to a fair system of 175 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.039 taxing like and this is these are just talking points 176 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.919 because we can talk about a lot of fair tax systems, 177 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.320 but anything other than property tax, like a consumption based 178 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:03.799 tax that hits everyone equally. It doesn't hit just property 179 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:09.240 owners for example. It's all up for discussion. I want 180 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.840 to have the discussion. I would work with the Kansas 181 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.639 legislature in order to get these things done. They need 182 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.000 to be done. The people of Kansas have been talking 183 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.639 about this for years. They just voted in our capital 184 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:26.919 to end property tax, and there were five rhinos that 185 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.799 prevented it. We came up one vote short. It's so maddening. 186 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.000 So Kansas has Last time I checked, and as far 187 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.679 as I know, we have a three billion dollar surplus 188 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.000 right now. So let's use it wisely to phase out 189 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.320 property tax. Over my first term. Imagine the relief that 190 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:51.600 farmers in Salina, Kansas would have, that families in Wichita 191 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:57.879 would receive, school children in Oleitha, small business owners in 192 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:05.240 Topeka no more annual tax bills hanging over your head. That, 193 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:10.360 my friends, that is the definition of freedom. And that's 194 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.279 what the founders had in mind. By the way, we 195 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:15.840 have drifted so far away in this country, not only 196 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.960 as an executive branch as government, or an a legislative branch, 197 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.279 but the judicial branch. We've all drifted away from the 198 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.159 founder's intent. So that's property tax. Another way that I'm 199 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.000 going to make Kansas great again is making education better 200 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:36.840 without the FEDS, the Federal Department of Education is gone, 201 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.879 and good riddance. It should have been gone long ago. 202 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.559 President Carter created this department, and ever since the United 203 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:49.240 States educational system has plummeted, and we have the dumbest 204 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:54.279 dumb down in educational history around the planet. As a 205 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.360 former teacher with a master's degree in a curriculum and instruction, 206 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:04.240 I've seen first hand how these federal bureaucrats meddle in 207 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.440 our classrooms, and so have you. You've seen this pushing 208 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:12.679 this one size fits all nonsense. Now, Kansas has the 209 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:16.440 chance to take control, and my vision for that is 210 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:21.399 local power and by that I mean parents. But first, 211 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:28.639 let's recruit, train, motivate, and inspire other MAGA conservative parents 212 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:34.320 to run for and win seats on Kansas school boards 213 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.440 and school boards throughout the country. Hi Wi Robertson, I 214 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.559 see you out there on Facebook Land. Thanks for chiming in. 215 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.960 I appreciate you watching and listening to the program. Stay 216 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:49.720 with me. So with conservative school boards in place wherever 217 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:55.480 you live, we empower parents, We empower teachers, not some 218 00:13:55.720 --> 00:14:00.440 elitist in Washington, d C. Or any other liberal local 219 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.840 woke kook who wants to put in DEI the rainbow 220 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.919 flag and talk about how transgenderism and god making mistakes 221 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:13.840 with regards to gender assignment is actually real. Those people 222 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.320 have no idea and have no reason making decisions about 223 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:22.279 what's best for our children. Parents, and especially please parents 224 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.159 who do the work of determined patriotism getting involved with 225 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.720 your local school boards. I would also push as governor 226 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:35.440 for more funding directly to classrooms, more books, better technology, 227 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:43.240 higher teacher pay for qualified teachers, ending tenure and making 228 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.679 it a competitional merit based system without all of the 229 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:51.440 red tape. And as a former teacher from long ago, 230 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.080 I know that we can improve outcomes of these students. 231 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:58.159 Our test scores are what twenty fourth, twenty fifth in 232 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:06.759 the world, not only embarrassing, unacceptable. The basics reading, arithmetic, 233 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:13.200 not just math, English, Civics again, not just history and 234 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:17.679 critical thinking. You know those are the basics. But I 235 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:21.919 would work to include not only those subjects and bolstering 236 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:25.480 them within the public schools and other schools in Kansas. 237 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:29.720 I would work to include the subjects that the founding 238 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.279 fathers wanted included in the public schools. All you have 239 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.600 to do is do a simple research on your favorite 240 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.759 search engine. Early American or Colonial American school curriculums. What 241 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.600 do they have? What were the subjects? Well? I think too, 242 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.039 I mean I think, you know, in addition to the 243 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:50.000 ones that I just mentioned, I think philosophy. We can 244 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.679 make a case for that. The Founders wanted that. And 245 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.279 study of the Christian Bible back in schools. That's what 246 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.399 the Founders wanted. And don't give me the separation of 247 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:03.519 church and nonsense. That is absolutely a quote from Thomas 248 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.159 Jefferson to the Bradbury Baptist Association that was taken completely 249 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.320 out of context, and it continues to be just butchered 250 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.799 out of context. There is not this separation, like we 251 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.840 can't talk about God in school, Doug. We can't do 252 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.840 it because there's a separation of church and no. Not true, 253 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:23.679 not even close. And we're done with that myth. So 254 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.120 with the FEDS and the Department of Education out of 255 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.600 the way, I would make Kansas schools a model of 256 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.960 excellence around the country, tailored to our values, those values 257 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:38.879 that the Founders intended us to have, traditional family Christian values. 258 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.799 Somebody's got to be brave enough to say this out loud. 259 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.080 What about Muslim values? Doug. That means we've had to 260 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:46.240 put up the Koran and teach the Koran. And no, 261 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:53.000 it doesn't. The founders didn't intend that, all right. The 262 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.320 next initiative to make Kansas Great Again k DOS. Yes, 263 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.279 it is a play on the Elon Musk and Donald 264 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:04.480 Trump Doe initiative the Department of Government Efficiency Kansas version. 265 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:09.079 So let's talk about efficiency. We have got Elon Musk 266 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.480 slashing waste at the federal level. We all love it. 267 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:14.839 We all get a sense ever since Trump got back 268 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.559 in office. Don't you agree that even on a cloudy day, 269 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.799 even on a cloudy day, the sun is brighter. It's 270 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:24.200 because we're seeing all this waste and these are the fraud, 271 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:29.720 the abuse that the did dare I say, crimes being exposed. 272 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.240 We're seeing this all happen right in front of us. 273 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.880 So I'm going to bring that same energy to Kansas 274 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:39.559 with Mike K. Dodge initiative k DOGE. I'm getting a 275 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:42.039 nod over there. Yes, that's how I pronounce it, Department 276 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:47.480 of Government Government Efficiency Kansas version. I know that there 277 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:50.440 is something in KEMP because people in Kansas are saying, well, Doug, 278 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:54.240 you know the Senate created something called the Senate Committee 279 00:17:54.240 --> 00:18:00.319 on Government Efficiency Initiative. They call it coge coge right. Okay, 280 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.759 it was rolled out in January, folks, January of this year, 281 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:08.599 twenty twenty five, and it's published no meaningful results whatsoever. 282 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:11.799 For those of you watching, you don't. It's an initiative 283 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:16.759 that the Senate created and it's an online syst asking 284 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:18.880 for the public to give ideas about how to cut waste, 285 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.640 fraud and abuse, which is fine, but they haven't done anything. 286 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.960 And you know, Elon Musk and President Trump aren't asking 287 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.640 the public what they should go after. They're going after 288 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.400 obvious waste, abuse and fraud. Because anyone who has any 289 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:38.039 common sense can understand and know and identify what waste, bureaucracy, fraud, 290 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.680 and inefficiency looks like. We all know it. So here's 291 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:46.319 what I do. Under the Kansas Constitution, Article one, Section one, 292 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:50.200 the governor has a broad executive authority to appoint heads 293 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:55.720 of major state agencies. Some of those may require Senate confirmation. 294 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.359 But look, we've got a super majority of Republicans in 295 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.640 the Senate. I'm a maga conservative. I will bring forth 296 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.519 people who the Senate loves and who Kansas needs. I 297 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:13.480 know bankers, high level CEOs, financial brilliant financial minds who 298 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.640 I would invite to come on and free of charge 299 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.759 to Kansas. The legislature won't have to worry about purse 300 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:20.160 strings or how are we going to pay for this? 301 00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:24.880 These people would engage in determined patriotism as part of 302 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:31.359 their view of patriotism towards Kansas, and they would work 303 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:34.920 closely with the Senate and the House Republicans and all 304 00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:38.640 of our in all of the branches, and we would 305 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:40.640 begin to reduce waste. I'm not going to sit around 306 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.279 a waste time asking questions about what waste is. We 307 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:46.079 already know what waste is. We can see it and 308 00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.960 smell it a mile away. We're gonna put together a 309 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.519 team that I will appoint that will go after it, 310 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.920 and we will report the results once a week, once 311 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:57.599 a week to the people of Kansas and to the 312 00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:01.359 country who's ever interested in watching. The first department is 313 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:05.720 the Kansas Department of Administration. This department oversees budgeting and 314 00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:09.200 efficiency and it's led by a secretary who I get 315 00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:14.000 to appoint. Okay, The Kansas Department of Revenue another one. 316 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:19.160 It's a key department for any tax related initiatives like 317 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:23.319 eliminating property tax. It also has a secretary that I 318 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.799 get to appoint as governor, the Kansas State Board of Education. 319 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:29.079 This one's a little bit different because it is an 320 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.599 elected body in the state of Kansas. But as governor, 321 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.960 I can appoint the Commissioner of Education, who gets to 322 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.680 execute the policies. So that person, you can better believe 323 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.519 it is going to be a like minded mega conservative. 324 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.599 So that most agency heads in Kansas and under the 325 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:54.680 Constitution in Kansas serve at quote the pleasure of the governor, 326 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:56.759 which means I can hire and fire them as I 327 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.279 see fit, and if they're not doing the job, they're out. 328 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.920 So I can appoint maga conservatives within my administration who 329 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:11.279 share my vision. I'm talking again, fiscal hawks, anti woke crusaders, 330 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:16.000 pro life warriors. Once these people are appointed, I can 331 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:21.960 direct those agency heads to implement my k DOJE agenda, 332 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.880 staying well within existing legal authority. As governor, I'm not 333 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:28.319 going to step outside of that authority. But here's how 334 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:31.480 we're going to be doing this. Specifically, so number one 335 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:35.200 efficiency audits, that's exactly what I would be doing. I 336 00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:39.079 would instruct the Secretary of administration, for example, to launch 337 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:44.839 internal reviews of spending, to identify waste and propose cuts 338 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:53.039 to me and beautifully, almost ironically, that is already part 339 00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.559 of the job description of that particular title under Kansas 340 00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.880 KSA seventy five three seven oh seven look it up. 341 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.000 The second way we're going to do this with DOSEE 342 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.759 is implement policy shifts. I would direct, for example, the 343 00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:13.960 Commissioner of Education to prioritize curriculum changes like scrapping DEI 344 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:22.759 or WOKE agendas and redirect resources to classroom basics. I 345 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.200 would leverage my influence as governor. We do have a 346 00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.799 bully pulpit as governor, after all, I would leverage that 347 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.839 over the Department of Education's operations. And then we would 348 00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.359 use another specific way that we do this with DOZE, 349 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:41.160 as we invoke regulatory rollbacks. I would I think as 350 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.000 I think about that, I would direct the Department of 351 00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:47.519 Revenue or other such agencies to streamline their processes to 352 00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:52.640 cut red tape, to pilot tax reforms, tax elimination programs, 353 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:57.480 and steps towards the goal of eliminating property tax. Those 354 00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.599 are specific ways in which we can do this. Save 355 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.119 this tape, save this show share it and play that back, 356 00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:09.519 because that's important. No other candidate is saying it. My 357 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:15.799 past life in corporate America negotiating collective bargaining agreements against 358 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:20.359 very aggressive unions. I mean, I'm talking the United Auto Workers, 359 00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:25.680 the Teamsters, I mean the tough of the tough, and 360 00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:28.039 the radical of the radical. I've sat across the table 361 00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:31.240 from a nurses union from California that'll make your head 362 00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.960 spind the most radical group of kooks you've ever want 363 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:38.359 to meet. But I digress. Negotiating those agreements is perfect 364 00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:41.680 experience for all of this about which I'm speaking to 365 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.519 you about. Because I know how to rally a team, 366 00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:49.000 I know how to set clear goals and hold people accountable, 367 00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:52.920 and to negotiate deals on behalf of the people of Kansas. 368 00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:57.200 I will keep Kanson's informed. They will not only receive 369 00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:00.079 weekly updates from k doos, but they will see the 370 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:06.240 monthly or possibly quarterly television broadcasts from me, keeping in touch, 371 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:09.279 telling them what's going on. And I'm going to travel 372 00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:11.680 the state. The traveling for me will not end after 373 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:14.279 the campaign. In fact, it'll probably get busier as I 374 00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:18.480 travel the state after I win. So that's my plan 375 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:23.279 with regards to k DOJ, the Kansas Department of Government Efficiency. 376 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:28.640 I mentioned also eliminating WOKE and DEI initiatives, So let's 377 00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:35.559 get real about that diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. They're divisive, 378 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.880 they're wasteful, their distractions, and at their core, they're racist 379 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.759 and prejudiced, and they've got no place in Kansas. As 380 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.799 far as I'm concerned as governor, I'm going to eliminate 381 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:51.799 every state funded program pushing that kind of garbage. Our 382 00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:58.200 schools and agencies should focus on merit, not identity politics. 383 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.000 And I've seen the numbers with Musk and so forth. 384 00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:05.319 At the federal level. Doze at the federal level has 385 00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:10.680 saved over a billion dollars federally by cutting DEI contracts. 386 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.599 And we can do the same kinds of things in Kansas. 387 00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:17.680 Why are we spending tax dollars to lecture Kansas or 388 00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:22.440 any other member of any other state about privilege instead 389 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:28.960 of fixing roads or teaching kids. It's insanity and it 390 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.000 all ends under my watch as governor in Kansas. And 391 00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:36.000 you again using the template for your governor in your state. Hey, 392 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:40.079 Billing's over in Kansas is cleaning up. He's eliminating woke 393 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.640 and DEI agendas. How Come we're not doing this in 394 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:47.680 Iowa or Tennessee, or Nebraska, or or California or wherever. 395 00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.720 We're going to unite around our shared values, folks, And 396 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:54.839 as we're learning when we look at what Trump is 397 00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.039 doing in the seventy five percent of Americans who agree 398 00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:59.559 with DOGE and the initiatives the elon and his team 399 00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.000 are doing, we're going to take that advantage and we're 400 00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:05.279 going to work with it in Kansas, hard work, family 401 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:10.880
