And all the postmortems on all those programs showed they were failures. And the government, you can't have the government do certain things. It's envisioned for a particular role that private enterprise can't do, and that's things like national defense and collect taxes. And I know some people are listening and said, well, actually, Victor, we could get private companies to, like the Romans did,

The Romans had a very effective, they just had the tax collectors get bonuses, and they were very effective and hated.

What did they think? Yeah, yeah. So-called conservatives voted for her. That's one thing we could learn from Europe, because we know now that the United States could get all the ballots tallied within 48 hours if we just said this. You all have to show up on Election Day like you used to, or maybe 70 or 80 percent. You'd have a paper ballot.

And if you want to request an absentee ballot, it has to be because you're ill or something or you're out of town. But there's not going to be any more early balloting or blanket mail-in balloting, and you have to have an ID. And it would work very easily. And we know the Democrats will always oppose it.

And yet, when you poll the population, the citizenry, whether they're white or black or Hispanic, they all poll that they want IDs. The Democratic Party, you see, everybody, you know that better than I do. It has a message now that no one wants. This is not the Democratic Party of minimum wage, disability insurance, Social Security, 40-hour work, overtime. That's all done and settled.

This is a different socialist redistributionist monstrosity, and no one wants it. So they have to use the courts. They have to use the deep state to do what you don't want. And nobody wants this system of election. This is more the party of Robespierre than it is of Dan Rostenkowski. Yeah, it's the party of Robespierre. It's Jacobin party. There's no doubt about it. And I say that not lightly.

What did Robespierre want? Oh, he wanted a year zero. Oh, we had one called 1619. What did he want to do? He wanted to go after the church. They killed 6,000 priests and nuns. Oh, we went after anti-abortion people and said they were white Christian nationalists in the military. Almost every Jacobin agenda item is what the Democratic Party, the modern version of it, they embraced.
