00:00Donald Trump is a godsend to America and to the world, and the reason for that is he has the backbone to stand up against anyone, whether they be in the United States or in Beijing or in Brussels, who wants to violate self-governance.
00:16And so what he's already accomplished in less than a year in office is a complete reset of American politics and policy.
00:24Having said that, we have a lot of work to do.
00:26But the conservatives in the United States need to be in power at least a decade in order to overturn all of the excesses of the radical left in our country over the last 75 years.
00:39But we're going to do that because he's moving expeditiously to accomplish those policies.
00:44In particular, what needs to happen is the continued diminishing of the power of the federal government, measured by a reduced number of federal employees, measured by a much lower federal budget, so that our states, which have the first and primary sovereignty in our system, have more power to operate.
01:03And that's a way of saying that Trump's greatest success and what he has to continue doing, and he will, is giving more power back to the people.
01:11And we're hopeful that if friends around the world, wherever they are on the political spectrum, whatever they might think about Donald Trump, even though I'm a huge fan, is that what they see in him is an encouragement.
01:23What they see in him is hope that if the politics and policy in your country aren't going well, that it is not inevitable that your country will remain in decline.
01:34It can be reversed.
01:53There is a fissure in the conservative movement, not just in the United States, but also in Europe, between the old right and the new right.
02:19And I'll let other people speak for themselves.
02:21I can speak for heritage.
02:22What we want to have happen at Heritage on behalf of the conservative movement is to have the best elements of the old right work with the best elements of the new right.
02:32And regardless of where someone is philosophically on those questions, the political reality matches the philosophical reality.
02:42We need what the old right offers, which is a tethering to the permanent things, a tethering to principles.
02:49We don't need their collaboration with the radical left on some of the social and cultural questions that they've completely given up on.
02:57What we need from the new right is the zeal that comes from doing the work on behalf of the people.
03:02Sometimes people will equate the term new right with the term populism.
03:08And some members of the old right look at populism as if it's a four-letter word.
03:13Populism is merely doing the will of the people.
03:17And so what we're excited about at Heritage, in spite of all the controversy that's out there, is the bright future for the conservative movement.
03:24Because if you have those two things, a love for principle, and you're doing the will of the people, guess what?
03:31You might be in power for a century.
03:33And if we're in power for just half a century, guess what we get to fix?
03:37Guess what we get to do on behalf of the people?
03:39This is a moment not to be frustrated, but to be excited about the future.
03:54Theological differences aside, whether someone's Roman Catholic, Christian of a different denominational stripe, Jewish for that matter,
04:10we all have the same political worldview, which is that we need government to be smaller, although that's not an N of itself.
04:17We need government to be smaller so that we as individuals, working through non-government entities, our families first and foremost, our communities first and foremost, have more power, have more self-governance.
04:31And so people in the United States obviously can worship according to however they would like.
04:35As it relates to the political and philosophical project that is American conservatism, I'm extremely confident, extremely optimistic that we see the world the same way.
04:48And the more we can focus on that, regardless of where we choose to go to church, the more we realize we will be successful in politics.
05:05And the more we can focus on that, regardless of where we choose to go to church, the more we choose to go to church, the more we choose to go to church, the more we choose to go to church.
05:35Merging of the MAGA coalition in conservatism with the so-called tech right is one that is filled with a lot of opportunities, but it's also filled with a lot of challenges for the very obvious reasons.
05:49There are some elements of the tech right that would give far more freedom to artificial intelligence companies than those of us who are more longtime conservatives might.
06:01In other words, as conservatives, we have to understand that there is no role in our movement, in our country, in policy for an AI that's unregulated.
06:12In other words, we have to reject the libertarian position that AI can do no wrong.
06:17We're conservatives.
06:18And if we're conservatives, we have to understand that AI is a very helpful tool, but it is a tool so powerful that it actually can undermine what it means to be a human person.
06:28And so what we're trying to do at Heritage in the same way that we stand as the interlocutor, the mediator between the old right and the new right, is to stand as the mediator in a very helpful way between the tech right and the MAGA right.
06:41There are some questions that have to be answered.
06:44A lot of those questions are being answered in policy by the Trump administration.
06:48There's more the administration needs to do, but we're confident that what they do next is going to be very good because they've been so thoughtful, not just in bringing these two wings together, but very thoughtful regarding the policy.
07:02At the end of the day, artificial intelligence must serve us, not the other way around.
07:11I've read a lot of preposterous claims in the last two weeks.
07:28The most preposterous is that MAGA is dead.
07:31It's not only alive and well, it's growing.
07:34It's not going anywhere.
07:35There may be people on the radical left and maybe a few people on the right who think that it's dead and would accelerate it.
07:43They couldn't be more wrong.
07:44And the future of MAGA is what we're seeing in the present, that when men and women are elected to office, whether it be president of the United States or mayor,
07:55that they govern with the full legal and ethical authority they have, rather than the tentativeness that too many politicians on the right govern with over the last 25 years.
08:09And so at Heritage, what we see, not just for the next election cycles, our midterms next year, the presidential election in 2028,
08:17but far more importantly, the rest of the century as a social and cultural movement,
08:24is that MAGA has reminded the American people that they, not Washington, are in charge.
08:31And we're just hopeful that our friends in Europe take some encouragement from that and start saying that they, not Brussels, is in charge.
09:01The election outcomes in Virginia and New Jersey were unfortunately predictable.
09:23They went against the party in power, probably not going to be very illustrative of next year's midterms.
09:29The election in New York is one that is not only lamentable, but tragic, because someone like Mamdani, Mamdani himself,
09:37represents not just a toxic, but a very dangerous coalition.
09:41And it's the coalition between neo-Marxists and Islamists.
09:46That combination is one that our friends in Europe know all too well.
09:50And it has arrived in the United States with the election of Mamdani as mayor of New York.
09:55That's probably going to be illustrative of where the Democratic Party goes.
10:01The Democratic Party a year ago, I thought, might go either way.
10:04It might go the way of the radicals like Mamdani, AOC, or it might go the way of people like Chuck Schumer.
10:11I disagree with all of their politics.
10:14It would be better for America if the Democratic Party gravitated toward the center left.
10:19But I think they're making their choices clear.
10:21Now, as a conservative, I relish that in a political sense, because I have so much confidence in our ideas and our ability to advocate for our ideas
10:32in contrast with the toxicity of the Mamdani-AOC coalition.
10:36But also have to observe, we must not have conceit in that.
10:41We must not be overconfident.
10:43We have to not only go win that battle of ideas, we have to go show the American voter that when these ideas percolate up to the national scene
10:52in the 2028 presidential election, that Americans understand the damage wrought by those policies.
10:59In other words, we have to constantly close the sale for the American people so that they don't flirt with these questions.
11:06The reason this is important is because Mamdani did do something well purely on a political level,
11:12and that was talking about the housing crisis in New York City.
11:16And sometimes conservative friends say conservatives shouldn't talk about the housing affordability crisis.
11:24To that, I say hogwash.
11:25There is a housing affordability crisis.
11:27And until and unless we as conservatives start talking about that and inserting our policies rooted in limited government
11:33and free enterprise, among some others, we're going to lose.
11:37At Heritage, we not only have what I think are the best ideas for public policy, but also importantly,
11:58we facilitate the sharing of those ideas with other organizations around the country, around the world,
12:04and informally share those with policymakers from the administration to Congress.
12:08This is something that we've done for over 50 years.
12:11We'll continue to do that.
12:12But what we've done recently because of the political opportunity that exists,
12:17keep in mind, I think conservatives are going to be in power for at least 50 years,
12:21is talk about those policies in more detail, not just, in other words, for the next month or the next six months,
12:29but where certain policy areas or policy issues need to go over the next five or 10 years.
12:35Adopting that longer-term thinking, both for the policies, but also in helping to form,
12:42cultivating people who possibly might go into an administration,
12:46people who possibly might go serve as a Capitol Hill staffer,
12:50or for that matter, might serve as members of Congress,
12:53is what Heritage and the entire conservative movement needs to be doing because of the opportunity we have.
12:59If we fail to seize this opportunity, we may never get it back again.
13:08The vice president certainly looks like the frontrunner, not only for 2028,
13:13but perhaps equally importantly as the social and philosophical leader of the conservative movement.
13:20The great news is that our bench, our political bench in the conservative movement is very deep.
13:27Secretary of State Rubio has obviously performed very well.
13:31Several members of the Senate as well.
13:34We have a strong bench of governors.
13:36But it's obvious to anyone paying attention that in addition to the politics and the philosophy,
13:42his ability to communicate, that the vice president has a certain way of connecting with the American people genuinely.
13:50Politics aside, what Americans want more than anything is authenticity in their leaders.
13:56And whether it's the vice president or the secretary of state Rubio, a member of the Senate,
14:02a governor who emerges over the next few years,
14:05if they're conservative, if they are aligned with President Trump's philosophy,
14:11which is to put the people ahead of Washington,
14:13and if they're authentic,
14:15then they're not only going to be one of the standard bearers of our movement,
14:19they're going to be president of the United States.
14:21We'll be right back.
