WEBVTT

00:00.800 --> 00:01.666 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
We are back now with

00:01.666 --> 00:02.900 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
Ambassador Pete Hoekstra,

00:02.900 --> 00:03.933 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
who we think he's going to be

00:03.933 --> 00:05.833 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
the Republican Party chair.

00:05.833 --> 00:06.666 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
You heard the governor

00:06.666 --> 00:07.533 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
speech last night.

00:07.533 --> 00:08.300 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Was there anything

00:08.300 --> 00:10.166 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
that you liked?

00:10.166 --> 00:10.833 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
I loved her

00:10.833 --> 00:12.266 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
talking about the Lions.

00:12.266 --> 00:13.466 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
I'm a U of M fan.

00:13.466 --> 00:13.966 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
I went.

00:13.966 --> 00:14.733 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
I'm a graduate

00:14.733 --> 00:15.733 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
of the University of Michigan.

00:15.733 --> 00:16.433 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
I was thrilled

00:16.433 --> 00:18.333 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
that she acknowledged that

00:18.333 --> 00:19.533 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
the University of Michigan

00:19.533 --> 00:20.433 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
is the.

00:20.433 --> 00:21.233 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
Yeah, they are.

00:21.233 --> 00:23.500 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
They're the NCAA

00:23.500 --> 00:24.800 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
football champions.

00:24.800 --> 00:25.366 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
So, yeah,

00:25.366 --> 00:26.100 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
you must have been

00:26.100 --> 00:27.233 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
deeply disappointed

00:27.233 --> 00:28.100 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
that the Republicans

00:28.100 --> 00:31.266 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
did not stand at that point.

00:31.266 --> 00:34.100 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Yeah. Why the pause

00:34.100 --> 00:36.166 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
congressmen

00:36.166 --> 00:37.600 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
don't really care.

00:37.600 --> 00:39.000 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
Okay.

00:39.000 --> 00:40.333 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
That that's not

00:40.333 --> 00:41.833 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
that's not the important issue.

00:41.833 --> 00:43.533 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
Whether they stood or

00:43.533 --> 00:45.300 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
stood or sat down,

00:45.300 --> 00:46.266 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
I went through enough State

00:46.266 --> 00:47.333 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
of the Union speeches.

00:47.333 --> 00:47.633 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
We are

00:48.033 --> 00:49.100 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
with Republican presidents

00:49.100 --> 00:50.533 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
and Democrat presidents.

00:50.533 --> 00:51.100 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
And if you've got a

00:51.100 --> 00:52.366 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Democrat president,

00:52.366 --> 00:53.366 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
you know, the

00:53.366 --> 00:54.366 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
the other side is going

00:54.366 --> 00:55.866 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
up, down, up, down.

00:55.866 --> 00:56.433 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
And there are

00:56.433 --> 00:57.033 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
there's reporters

00:57.033 --> 00:57.933 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
out there counting.

00:57.933 --> 00:58.633 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
How many times

00:58.633 --> 01:00.333 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
did they stand up?

01:00.333 --> 01:01.466 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
And if it's a Republican

01:01.466 --> 01:03.066 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
president, okay, yeah,

01:03.066 --> 01:04.566 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
I'm going to wear my I'm

01:04.566 --> 01:05.166 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
going to wear my

01:05.166 --> 01:05.966 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
running shoes today

01:05.966 --> 01:06.700 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
because I will have to go

01:06.700 --> 01:09.300 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
up, down, up, down, up, down.

01:09.300 --> 01:10.300 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
And people are counting.

01:10.300 --> 01:11.700 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
And so, you know,

01:11.700 --> 01:13.466 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
come on, let's

01:13.466 --> 01:14.866 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
talk about the real issues.

01:14.866 --> 01:15.200 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
Come on.

01:15.433 --> 01:16.133 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
And a substantive

01:16.133 --> 01:16.566 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
basis,

01:16.833 --> 01:17.800 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
the content of the speech,

01:17.800 --> 01:19.266 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
apart from the sports angle,

01:19.266 --> 01:21.433 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
was there anything you liked?

01:21.433 --> 01:23.133 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
It's

01:23.133 --> 01:23.566 align:left position:42.5% line:5% size:47.5%
no.

01:23.566 --> 01:24.666 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
I mean,

01:24.666 --> 01:25.166 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
there are

01:25.166 --> 01:26.233 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
two remarkable

01:26.233 --> 01:27.766 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
differences of opinion here.

01:27.766 --> 01:28.966 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
And it came up in the earlier

01:28.966 --> 01:29.733 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
segment of the show

01:29.733 --> 01:30.800 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
when you were talking about

01:30.800 --> 01:32.066 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
a targeted tax break

01:32.066 --> 01:32.833 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
for seniors,

01:32.833 --> 01:34.266 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
a targeted tax break for this,

01:34.266 --> 01:36.033 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
a targeted tax break for that.

01:36.033 --> 01:36.333 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
And it's

01:36.566 --> 01:37.266 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
kind of like now

01:37.266 --> 01:37.933 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
we're not into

01:37.933 --> 01:39.333 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
this identity politics.

01:39.333 --> 01:40.766 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
You know,

01:40.766 --> 01:41.366 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
I don't want to

01:41.366 --> 01:42.300 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
fall into a group

01:42.300 --> 01:42.966 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
and say if I can get

01:42.966 --> 01:43.700 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
if I can just kind

01:43.700 --> 01:44.600 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
of wiggle into this,

01:44.600 --> 01:46.766 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I get another tax break, lower

01:46.766 --> 01:49.433 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
the overall tax rate. Okay.

01:49.433 --> 01:51.533 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
Her strategic investment

01:51.533 --> 01:52.666 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
fund, where,

01:52.666 --> 01:53.333 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
you know,

01:53.333 --> 01:54.300 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
I'm going to give money

01:54.300 --> 01:55.466 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
to Gretchen

01:55.466 --> 01:56.633 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
Whitmer, the governor

01:56.633 --> 01:58.200 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
and the state legislature,

01:58.200 --> 01:59.733 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
so that they can decide

01:59.733 --> 02:00.633 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
where to,

02:00.633 --> 02:00.833 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
you know,

02:01.366 --> 02:02.366 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
what's a promising industry

02:02.366 --> 02:03.100 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
and all of that.

02:03.100 --> 02:04.000 align:left position:42.5% line:5% size:47.5%
No

02:04.000 --> 02:05.600 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I don't want her doing that.

02:05.600 --> 02:06.666 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
She has no risk.

02:06.666 --> 02:07.166 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
And, you know,

02:07.433 --> 02:08.333 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
she's got no skin in the game.

02:08.333 --> 02:09.066 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
There's no risk

02:09.066 --> 02:10.266 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
for state government.

02:10.266 --> 02:12.066 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
The this this whole

02:12.066 --> 02:14.000 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
electric vehicle fiasco.

02:14.000 --> 02:14.466 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
Okay.

02:14.733 --> 02:16.533 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
The Chinese battery plants,

02:16.533 --> 02:17.466 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
a technology

02:17.466 --> 02:18.866 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
that's not ready for prime

02:18.866 --> 02:20.100 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
time. Okay.

02:20.100 --> 02:21.066 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
You know, the

02:21.066 --> 02:21.933 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
you can't drive

02:21.933 --> 02:22.866 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
from West Michigan

02:22.866 --> 02:23.600 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
to Detroit

02:23.600 --> 02:27.033 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
and back in your F-150

02:27.033 --> 02:27.466 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
or whatever

02:27.466 --> 02:27.800 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
they call

02:28.133 --> 02:29.100 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
the supercharged vehicle

02:29.100 --> 02:30.366 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
without finding a place

02:30.366 --> 02:31.266 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
to charge it.

02:31.266 --> 02:32.000 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Oh, and by the way,

02:32.000 --> 02:33.966 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
if it gets cold,

02:33.966 --> 02:34.300 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
you know,

02:34.566 --> 02:35.566 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
the biggest parking

02:35.566 --> 02:36.700 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
lot of dead

02:36.700 --> 02:37.633 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
vehicles

02:37.633 --> 02:38.566 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
is the Tesla

02:38.566 --> 02:40.766 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
charging station in Chicago.

02:40.766 --> 02:41.466 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
And we're pouring

02:41.466 --> 02:42.533 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
all of this money in

02:42.533 --> 02:43.800 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
and we're forcing the state

02:43.800 --> 02:45.266 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
to buy these vehicles.

02:45.266 --> 02:46.266 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
And it's like,

02:46.266 --> 02:46.566 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
sorry,

02:46.866 --> 02:47.666 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
this is not ready for

02:47.666 --> 02:48.933 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
prime time yet.

02:48.933 --> 02:51.166 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
And she

02:51.166 --> 02:52.133 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
the people that made

02:52.133 --> 02:53.166 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
that decision,

02:53.166 --> 02:53.733 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
they're not going

02:53.733 --> 02:54.500 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
to pay the price

02:54.500 --> 02:56.366 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
because if cattle goes down

02:56.366 --> 02:58.466 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
or Goshen goes down

02:58.466 --> 02:59.933 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
now, it'll be future taxpayers

02:59.933 --> 03:01.133 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
that pay it, pay the price.

03:01.133 --> 03:02.100 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
They'll be gone doing

03:02.100 --> 03:03.033 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
something else.

03:03.033 --> 03:04.100 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
To that point, though,

03:04.100 --> 03:06.866 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
she brought up a revamped

03:06.866 --> 03:07.733 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
basically version

03:07.733 --> 03:08.400 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
of good jobs

03:08.400 --> 03:09.466 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
for Michigan, the Snyder

03:09.466 --> 03:11.800 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
era payroll tax cut plan.

03:11.800 --> 03:12.833 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
There's going to be

03:12.833 --> 03:13.666 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
a little bit of changes

03:13.666 --> 03:15.600 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
to what Snyder did

03:15.600 --> 03:17.533 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
eventually put into law, which,

03:17.533 --> 03:19.166 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
you know, sunset in 2019.

03:19.166 --> 03:20.300 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
I mean, do you see

03:20.300 --> 03:22.366 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
any Republican appetite for

03:22.366 --> 03:23.233 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
like you're talking

03:23.233 --> 03:25.700 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
of more broad tax relief?

03:25.700 --> 03:27.400 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
It does this not sort of

03:27.400 --> 03:28.066 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
fit that bill?

03:28.066 --> 03:29.633 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
Or do you see areas where.

03:29.633 --> 03:30.766 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Yeah, but I mean,

03:30.766 --> 03:31.333 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
we did this

03:31.333 --> 03:32.033 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
when we balanced

03:32.033 --> 03:33.366 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
the budget in Washington.

03:33.366 --> 03:34.166 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
You got to do

03:34.166 --> 03:35.500 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
a couple of things.

03:35.500 --> 03:37.666 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
You can do broad tax cuts

03:37.666 --> 03:39.133 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and where we've got a mandated

03:39.133 --> 03:41.466 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
you need to balance the budget.

03:41.466 --> 03:42.700 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
Okay, let's identify

03:42.700 --> 03:43.400 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
where we're going to have

03:43.400 --> 03:44.266 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
some spending cuts, where

03:44.266 --> 03:44.500 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
we're going

03:44.833 --> 03:45.966 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
to retrench the size

03:45.966 --> 03:47.200 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
and the influence of

03:47.200 --> 03:48.100 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
of big government.

03:48.100 --> 03:50.600 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Yeah, I'm all for cutting taxes

03:50.600 --> 03:52.200 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
and restraining the growth

03:52.200 --> 03:53.300 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
or slowing the growth

03:53.300 --> 03:54.333 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
or actually shrinking

03:54.333 --> 03:56.033 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
government somewhat.

03:56.033 --> 03:57.333 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
If you are the leader

03:57.333 --> 03:58.333 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
of the Republican Party

03:58.333 --> 03:58.900 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
in Michigan,

03:58.900 --> 03:59.533 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
this is a question

03:59.533 --> 04:00.400 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
going to be when?

04:00.400 --> 04:01.066 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
Yeah,

04:01.066 --> 04:01.766 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
this is a question I've

04:01.766 --> 04:03.633 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
been thinking about, though.

04:03.633 --> 04:04.833 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
There's this issue going

04:04.833 --> 04:06.233 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
on at the border in Texas

04:06.233 --> 04:07.466 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and there's a power struggle

04:07.466 --> 04:07.933 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
going on

04:08.233 --> 04:09.100 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
between the federal government

04:09.100 --> 04:10.266 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and the government in Texas.

04:10.266 --> 04:10.866 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
I'm sure you've

04:10.866 --> 04:11.900 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
been following this

04:11.900 --> 04:13.366 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
and there's this chatter.

04:13.366 --> 04:14.433 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
And I'm curious,

04:14.433 --> 04:15.466 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
is there room

04:15.466 --> 04:17.300 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
in the Republican Party

04:17.300 --> 04:17.900 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
for people

04:17.900 --> 04:19.266 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
who are openly rooting

04:19.266 --> 04:20.600 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
for a civil war,

04:20.600 --> 04:22.133 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
for people who believe in Q-anon

04:22.133 --> 04:22.933 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
do you

04:22.933 --> 04:24.166 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
welcome those people

04:24.166 --> 04:24.933 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
into the Michigan

04:24.933 --> 04:26.000 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Republican Party?

04:26.000 --> 04:27.366 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
What I welcome is, you know,

04:27.366 --> 04:28.200 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
working forward

04:28.200 --> 04:29.400 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
and going toward solutions.

04:29.400 --> 04:29.866 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
And I'm

04:30.100 --> 04:30.966 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
well aware of the debates.

04:30.966 --> 04:31.733 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
I mean, the

04:31.733 --> 04:33.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I'm reading the opinion pieces

04:33.500 --> 04:34.033 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
that are out there

04:34.033 --> 04:34.633 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
this morning.

04:34.633 --> 04:35.500 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
And, you know,

04:35.500 --> 04:36.300 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
everybody knows

04:36.300 --> 04:37.966 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
what's happening on the border.

04:37.966 --> 04:39.000 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
You know, Governor Abbott,

04:39.000 --> 04:39.933 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
what he's trying to do

04:39.933 --> 04:40.566 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
and other states

04:40.566 --> 04:41.200 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
are trying to do

04:41.200 --> 04:42.400 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
by sending National

04:42.400 --> 04:43.233 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Guard down there

04:43.233 --> 04:45.166 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
and closing the border.

04:45.166 --> 04:46.333 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
And someone

04:46.333 --> 04:47.433 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
wrote an opinion piece

04:47.433 --> 04:48.166 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
that said,

04:48.166 --> 04:49.633 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
let's federalize

04:49.633 --> 04:53.466 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
Texas National Guard

04:53.466 --> 04:54.766 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
Whoa

04:54.766 --> 04:56.100 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
Let's

04:56.100 --> 04:57.133 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
let's I'm

04:57.133 --> 04:58.333 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
all open for that debate.

04:58.333 --> 04:59.100 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
Okay. I know.

04:59.100 --> 04:59.866 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
I know where the people

04:59.866 --> 05:01.333 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
in the state of Michigan

05:01.333 --> 05:03.166 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and where the people in Texas

05:03.166 --> 05:04.433 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
and a lot of states are,

05:04.433 --> 05:05.233 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
because the Supreme

05:05.233 --> 05:06.566 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Court ruling now

05:06.566 --> 05:07.266 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
that says, hey,

05:07.266 --> 05:08.700 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
Texas, what you're doing.

05:08.700 --> 05:09.033 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
I mean,

05:09.400 --> 05:10.466 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
these are Republican jurists

05:10.466 --> 05:11.766 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
who said Texas,

05:11.766 --> 05:12.266 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
what you're doing

05:12.266 --> 05:13.066 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
does not line up

05:13.066 --> 05:14.900 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
with how our nation works.

05:14.900 --> 05:15.533 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
And you're

05:15.533 --> 05:16.233 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
saying that

05:16.233 --> 05:17.166 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
Joe Biden should just say,

05:17.166 --> 05:18.033 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
oh, we've got a Supreme

05:18.033 --> 05:18.766 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
Court rule,

05:18.766 --> 05:20.300 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
we've got the Constitution.

05:20.300 --> 05:21.266 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
But, yeah, Texas.

05:21.266 --> 05:22.233 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
Go ahead.

05:22.233 --> 05:22.966 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
No, I want

05:22.966 --> 05:23.966 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
I want Joe Biden

05:23.966 --> 05:27.066 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
to actually enforce, you know,

05:27.066 --> 05:30.666 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
the rule of law and

05:30.666 --> 05:31.966 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
secure the border.

05:31.966 --> 05:33.333 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
It's very simple. What we want.

05:33.333 --> 05:34.700 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
We want Republicans.

05:34.700 --> 05:35.233 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
And actually,

05:35.233 --> 05:35.500 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
I think there's

05:35.800 --> 05:36.766 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
a lot of Democrats

05:36.766 --> 05:38.300 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
who want a secure border.

05:38.300 --> 05:39.400 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
Take a look at Chicago.

05:39.400 --> 05:40.366 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
There are people now

05:40.366 --> 05:42.433 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
that are calling for what?

05:42.433 --> 05:44.000 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
Getting rid of their status

05:44.000 --> 05:45.933 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
as a sanctuary city

05:45.933 --> 05:49.066 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
because they've now welcomed in

05:49.066 --> 05:52.033 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
31, 32,000 people.

05:52.300 --> 05:54.066 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
So they can't afford it.

05:54.066 --> 05:54.866 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
So you're in favor

05:54.866 --> 05:55.333 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
of the US

05:55.333 --> 05:55.666 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
Senate

05:55.900 --> 05:56.733 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
passing some type

05:56.733 --> 05:58.633 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
of bipartisan immigration

05:58.633 --> 06:01.200 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
reform measure right now?

06:01.200 --> 06:02.866 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
Take a look at the content.

06:02.866 --> 06:03.700 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
Okay.

06:03.700 --> 06:04.866 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
Take a look at the content.

06:04.866 --> 06:07.366 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Get a get a good border deal.

06:07.366 --> 06:09.166 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
You know, and,

06:09.166 --> 06:09.566 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
you know,

06:09.966 --> 06:10.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
there's a lot of other dynamics

06:10.800 --> 06:11.733 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
going on in Lansing

06:11.733 --> 06:12.766 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
or in Washington.

06:12.766 --> 06:14.600 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
I recognize that.

06:14.600 --> 06:15.333 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
But take a look

06:15.333 --> 06:16.000 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
at exactly

06:16.000 --> 06:18.700 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
what the content of a border

06:18.700 --> 06:19.600 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
plan is.

06:19.600 --> 06:20.633 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
We expect that,

06:20.633 --> 06:20.866 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
you know,

06:21.233 --> 06:21.300 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
we're going to have

06:21.900 --> 06:22.500 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
a Republican president.

06:22.500 --> 06:22.866 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
We're going to have

06:23.066 --> 06:24.600 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
a Republican Senate.

06:24.600 --> 06:25.666 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
And those types of things,

06:25.666 --> 06:27.566 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
we're going to keep the House

06:27.566 --> 06:29.166 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
If we can get as good of a deal

06:29.166 --> 06:30.000 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
as what we will get

06:30.000 --> 06:31.433 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
with a president,

06:31.433 --> 06:33.100 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
a Senate and the House,

06:33.100 --> 06:34.366 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
and you can get that now.

06:34.366 --> 06:35.266 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
You're probably go for it,

06:35.266 --> 06:35.966 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
but you know,

06:35.966 --> 06:36.533 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
you're not going

06:36.533 --> 06:37.600 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
to get that deal.

06:37.600 --> 06:38.500 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
So just back

06:38.500 --> 06:39.133 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
to my first question.

06:39.133 --> 06:39.600 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
I just want to

06:39.600 --> 06:40.200 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
I want to nail

06:40.200 --> 06:41.000 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
you down on this.

06:41.000 --> 06:42.133 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
If someone comes to you

06:42.133 --> 06:43.500 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
and says,

06:43.500 --> 06:44.700 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
I believe in Q-anon

06:44.700 --> 06:45.966 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
and I want a position

06:45.966 --> 06:47.200 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
as a district chair

06:47.200 --> 06:48.000 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
within the Michigan

06:48.000 --> 06:48.900 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Republican Party,

06:48.900 --> 06:50.333 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
should I run or not?

06:50.333 --> 06:51.633 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
They're welcome to run.

06:51.633 --> 06:52.566 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
You you would say

06:52.566 --> 06:53.333 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
you should run?

06:53.333 --> 06:54.300 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
No, I would say you

06:54.300 --> 06:56.533 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
are welcome to run.

06:56.533 --> 06:58.966 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
And you know what?

06:58.966 --> 06:59.533 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
You know,

06:59.533 --> 07:00.000 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
because we're

07:00.266 --> 07:01.200 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
also having this debate now

07:01.200 --> 07:02.166 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
about whether we want

07:02.166 --> 07:04.833 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
candidates chosen

07:04.833 --> 07:06.033 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
by caucus

07:06.033 --> 07:07.466 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
or by precinct delegates

07:07.466 --> 07:09.000 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and those kinds of things. No.

07:09.000 --> 07:10.300 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I know what would have happened

07:10.300 --> 07:11.700 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
when I ran for Congress

07:11.700 --> 07:12.933 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
and I said I would gone

07:12.933 --> 07:13.600 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
to the delegates

07:13.600 --> 07:14.133 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
and said, hey,

07:14.133 --> 07:14.866 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
I'd like to run

07:14.866 --> 07:17.433 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
against a 26 year incumbent

07:17.433 --> 07:18.300 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
who's chairman

07:18.300 --> 07:19.400 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
of the

07:19.400 --> 07:20.300 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
National Republican

07:20.300 --> 07:21.100 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Campaign Committee,

07:21.100 --> 07:21.733 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
who has all the

07:21.733 --> 07:23.433 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
sentimental attachments

07:23.433 --> 07:25.133 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
right to you

07:25.133 --> 07:26.333 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
and the district here.

07:26.333 --> 07:26.933 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
They would have said,

07:27.133 --> 07:28.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
sorry, Pete, you don't qualify.

07:28.800 --> 07:29.633 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
All right.

07:29.633 --> 07:30.233 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
Because I know

07:30.233 --> 07:30.933 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
that's what they did.

07:30.933 --> 07:31.933 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
They you know, they didn't

07:31.933 --> 07:34.266 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
welcome me to their events

07:34.266 --> 07:35.700 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
or those types of things.

07:35.700 --> 07:36.866 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
We went to the grassroots

07:36.866 --> 07:38.700 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
and I ran a campaign

07:38.700 --> 07:39.766 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
with the grassroots,

07:39.766 --> 07:41.866 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and we beat the establishment.

07:41.866 --> 07:45.300 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Okay. If folks want to come in,

07:45.300 --> 07:46.000 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
I won't.

07:46.000 --> 07:47.066 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
So are people

07:47.066 --> 07:48.533 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
welcome to come in to the party

07:48.533 --> 07:50.066 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
and compete for positions?

07:50.066 --> 07:51.666 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
Absolutely.

07:51.666 --> 07:53.900 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
All right.

07:53.900 --> 07:56.433 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
You know, the

07:56.433 --> 07:57.500 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
I'm sure there are people

07:57.500 --> 07:58.800 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
that voted for me who said,

07:58.800 --> 07:59.600 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
you know exactly

07:59.600 --> 08:00.233 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
what they stand

08:00.233 --> 08:01.166 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
for and all of that.

08:01.166 --> 08:01.900 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
You know what?

08:01.900 --> 08:02.533 align:left position:42.5% line:5% size:47.5%
No.

08:02.533 --> 08:04.166 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
But, you know,

08:04.166 --> 08:04.800 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
you've got to win

08:04.800 --> 08:05.966 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
on Election Day.

08:05.966 --> 08:07.200 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
We'll give Emily the last word.

08:07.200 --> 08:07.500 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
Yes.

08:07.966 --> 08:08.666 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Well, we're talking about this

08:08.666 --> 08:11.166 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
big tent of a party here

08:11.166 --> 08:12.166 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
who's welcome.

08:12.166 --> 08:12.700 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
I think there are

08:12.700 --> 08:13.033 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
a lot of people

08:13.433 --> 08:14.366 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
who didn't feel welcome under

08:14.366 --> 08:15.366 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Kristina Karamos

08:15.366 --> 08:16.600 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Republican Party.

08:16.600 --> 08:18.566 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
This American Life had

08:18.566 --> 08:19.233 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
an interview

08:19.233 --> 08:20.933 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
with some Muslim leaders

08:20.933 --> 08:21.566 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
within the party

08:21.566 --> 08:22.400 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
that felt a little bit

08:22.400 --> 08:24.733 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
disenfranchized at times.

08:24.733 --> 08:25.500 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
You know, certainly

08:25.500 --> 08:26.066 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
some people

08:26.066 --> 08:26.766 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
who aren't Christian

08:26.766 --> 08:27.633 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
could have been turned off

08:27.633 --> 08:28.700 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
by her overtly

08:28.700 --> 08:29.966 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Christian message,

08:29.966 --> 08:30.866 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
particularly Jewish

08:30.866 --> 08:32.733 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
members of the party.

08:32.733 --> 08:34.233 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
What kind of repair work

08:34.233 --> 08:35.466 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
do you have to do to make sure

08:35.466 --> 08:36.900 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
that everybody feels like

08:36.900 --> 08:37.433 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
they can be

08:37.433 --> 08:38.466 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
a part of the party?

08:38.466 --> 08:39.133 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Well, you go out,

08:39.133 --> 08:39.500 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
you tell them

08:39.733 --> 08:41.166 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
what our agenda is.

08:41.166 --> 08:41.633 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
You talk

08:41.866 --> 08:43.233 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
about what our philosophy is

08:43.233 --> 08:44.500 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
and we don't talk about,

08:44.500 --> 08:45.166 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
you know,

08:45.166 --> 08:46.233 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
you're a good Republican

08:46.233 --> 08:47.233 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
or you're a bad person

08:47.233 --> 08:48.766 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
or you're in this category,

08:48.766 --> 08:51.066 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
you're not welcome. Okay.

08:51.066 --> 08:51.733 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
We did this

08:51.733 --> 08:52.633 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
when we did the Contract

08:52.633 --> 08:53.366 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
with America

08:53.366 --> 08:55.000 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
the first time we took over

08:55.000 --> 08:56.833 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Republican control of the House

08:56.833 --> 08:58.633 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
of Representatives in 40 years.

08:58.633 --> 09:00.000 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
We didn't say, you know,

09:00.000 --> 09:02.100 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
you're welcome, but you're not.

09:02.100 --> 09:03.266 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Although we have,

09:03.266 --> 09:05.133 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
we might reconsider that.

09:05.133 --> 09:06.733 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
The But know you're welcome.

09:06.733 --> 09:07.166 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
But you're not.

09:07.500 --> 09:08.366 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
What we did is we put together

09:08.366 --> 09:09.000 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
an agenda

09:09.000 --> 09:10.933 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
of ten items, Contract

09:10.933 --> 09:12.133 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
with America, and said

09:12.133 --> 09:13.400 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
when we get elected,

09:13.400 --> 09:14.466 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
these are the things

09:14.466 --> 09:16.833 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
that we are going to do.

09:16.833 --> 09:17.600 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
And we'd love to

09:17.600 --> 09:19.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
have you join us on this path

09:19.500 --> 09:21.400 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
to implement this agenda.

09:21.400 --> 09:22.300 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
And we made

09:22.300 --> 09:24.700 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
we had a historic election,

09:24.700 --> 09:25.833 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
and that's the model

09:25.833 --> 09:26.733 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
that we will fight

09:26.733 --> 09:27.366 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
and that's the model

09:27.366 --> 09:28.466 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
that we will put forward

09:28.466 --> 09:29.200 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
for the voters

09:29.200 --> 09:30.466 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
in the state of Michigan.

09:30.466 --> 09:33.300 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
An agenda, a positive agenda,

09:33.300 --> 09:34.133 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
the results

09:34.133 --> 09:36.400 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
and the vision that we

09:36.400 --> 09:39.100 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
expect to achieve.

09:39.100 --> 09:39.866 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
Come on.

09:39.866 --> 09:41.633 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
It's going to be a great ride.

09:41.633 --> 09:42.900 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
You know, after 94,

09:42.900 --> 09:43.900 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
what did we do?

09:43.900 --> 09:45.300 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
We balanced the budget.

09:45.300 --> 09:46.466 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
We cut taxes

09:46.466 --> 09:48.400 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
and we grew the economy.

09:48.400 --> 09:49.200 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
That's the

09:49.200 --> 09:50.533 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
that's the kind of vision

09:50.533 --> 09:51.600 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
and the message

09:51.600 --> 09:54.666 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
that people will embrace,

09:54.666 --> 09:56.466 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
not this other

09:56.466 --> 09:58.066 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
stuff that has gone on.

09:58.066 --> 09:59.300 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
Mr. Hoekstra make it clear

09:59.300 --> 10:00.700 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
you're not using this position

10:00.700 --> 10:01.600 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
as a stepping stone

10:01.600 --> 10:02.700 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
to run for office again.

10:02.700 --> 10:04.100 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
Correct?

10:04.100 --> 10:04.900 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
You know, everybody's

10:04.900 --> 10:06.333 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
got to negotiate.

10:06.333 --> 10:07.400 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
I have to negotiate

10:07.400 --> 10:08.833 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
with my wife.

10:08.833 --> 10:10.700 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
She does not envision me

10:10.700 --> 10:12.933 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
being on the ballot again,

10:12.933 --> 10:13.700 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
as I probably would

10:13.700 --> 10:14.966 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
not support it.

10:14.966 --> 10:17.666 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Is that a Sherman statement?
